  • Notes 
    • Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 31, 1905 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Andrew Outterson - The Watertown Times of May 25, contains the following obituary of a former resident of Pulaski: Andrew Outterson, Brother of Col. J. T. Outterson, died at a city hospital this morning. Mr. Outterson had been ill for a long time and went to the hospital for special treatment last fall. He was nearly 80 years old. Mr. Outterson was born in Ireland, of Scotch descent, and came to this country with his parents when a child and they lived in Connecticut, where a large family was raised, of whom ten are still living. Andrew Outterson learned the business of papennaking, hand paper making being his first occupation. When papennalcing machinery was invented, he made the first sheet of banknote paper ever made in this country on a machine. He had made it before by hand process. With his father, who was an old country paper maker, as were all in the family as far back as there is any record, he set up the first papermaking machine in this country. The family came to Rochester, this state, in the papermaking industry, and there Mr. Outterson married. The family moved to Dansville, Livingston County, where they owned mills and afterwards to Pulaski, Oswego County, where mills were started. From Pulaski, with a brother, he erected paper and pulp mills at Lyonsdale, Lewis County. For the last five or six years he has been living on a farm near Port Leyden. Mr. Outterson was married in Rochester. She died at Dansville. His second wife died about 15 years ago. He had no children. He was one of the pioneers of papennakin2 in this section. The remains were brought to Pulaski for interment in the family plot. Services were held at the Episcopal church, Saturday afternoon, at 2 p.m.
