| Notes |
- Sairs, C. A., was born near Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence county, September 24, 1837. At twelve years of age he was working on a farm, but soon went into a shingle mill. At sixteen years of age he went sailing and followed the lakes for sixteen years, most of which time he held a mate's certificate and finally obtained captain's papers. In 1867 he came to Oswego and began farming, which he has since followed. In 1862 he married Cornelia M. Lockwood of Scriba, who died June 19, 1894. His father was John M Sairs, who was of Mohawk Dutch extraction. His mother was Harriet (Smedes) Sairs, of the early New England settlers. Mr. Sairs is one of the leading men of the town of Oswego, and justice of the peace, and has always lived on the farm he now owns since coming into the town.
