new EMS Agency.
The open house will be held
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the

Civil War Reenactment July 18, 19
Features 144th Volunteer Infantry
DELHI - Mark your calendars and plan on a visit to
the Delaware County Historical Association (DCHA) over
the weekend of July 18 and
19. Join us in celebrating the
return of the 144th New York
State Volunteers as they form
together once more to recognize and remember the Battles of Honey Hill and Little
Round Top (Gettysburg).
The 144th Regiment was
the largest and best known
regiment mustered in Delaware County during the Civil
War, composed almost entirely of Delaware County
residents. The regiment was
formed during the summer
of 1862 and was stationed at
different locations throughout
the war. The bloodiest battle
in which it was involved was
fought in S.C. at the end of
1864 – Honey Hill.
Co-hosted and sponsored
by DCHA and the 144th New
York Reenactment Group, the
weekend events will include:
Civil War battlefield reenactments, living history demonstrations, cannon fire, military
horses, drills, sutlers, old-time
photography and much more.
Participants will include reenactors representing both
Union and Confederate troops,
some of the latter traveling to
Delaware County from former
Confederate States.
The event takes place at the
Delaware County Historical
Association on Saturday and
Sunday, July 18 and July 19
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Lunch
will be available from Cross
Roads Café on both Saturday
and Sunday. On Saturday the
Delhi United Ministry will
provide cookies and brownies
as a church fundraiser.

Quote of the Week
The quote for this week is
from Friedrich Nietzsche: “No
Victor believes in chance.”
Chance, not really, it takes lots
of hard work and dedication to
become a victor, the winner in
a battle, struggle or a contest.
Never stop trying and some
day you may become a victor
in your own life.
On the Farm
Here on the farm the calves
are still coming and they seem
to be hiding in the woods, not
coming out so we can get a
glimpse to see where they
have freshened. Two calves
were spotted across the creek
in the swampy area and were
brought back with the mothers on Saturday afternoon.
They seemed to be ready to
come back to the barn and the
calves followed with a little
help from the kids. It’s just
the beginning and there will
surely be more to come into
the barn. With the past few
days really sunny and warm
the fellas have gotten in some
hay to chop for the bunk. I’m
sure lots of hay was mowed
this weekend and it is about
time. The fields seem to be
dry in spots and really wet in
other places, but so far no one
has gotten stuck and had to be
pulled out. We hope that farmers were able to get their hay in
without trouble. The weather
looks like we may have more
time to get in some dry hay for
a change, sounds good. Please
keep all our farmers in your
thoughts always they can use
all we have.

Tuesday, July 7, 2015 at Wilson Memorial Hospital

Susan; his brother, William
Bennett; his daughter, Caroline Nerz and her children,
Skyler and Christian; his step
children, Eric (Kara) Whittaker, Amy Robillard, Dan

caregivers include: Ed Spencer, Gary Hawk, Cathy Zindle,
Christina Spencer, Hannah
Spencer, Daniel Spencer and
all his girlfriends, June, Jessica, Karen, Heather, Laura

during his hospitalizations.
A very special appreciation
for Amy Robillard who guided Walt and Sue through the
hospital labyrinth. Despite extremely difficult illness, Walt
maintained his kind and loving spirit throughout.
Walt graduated from Harpursville High School in 1969
and worked in the automotive business most of his life.
Most recently he owned and
operated Walt’s Auto in Bainbridge. He thoroughly loved
the puzzle of auto repair as he
sold, serviced, and repaired
cars and trucks. Walt’s many
loyal customers and suppliers
continue to offer appreciation
for his willingness to take on
almost any challenge, and his
tireless service to all in need.
Even during his hospital stays,
he continued to help customers sort out their issues over
the phone. His understanding
of driver dilemmas, his eagerness to help and his loving
kindness endeared him to all.
“I feel that there is nothing
more truly artistic than to love
people,” Vincent VanGogh.

held at the Osterhoudt-Madden Funeral Home, 69-71 Maple St., Harpursville on July

the late Leland P. and Verna
H. (VanHeusen) Wood. On
Dec. 28, 1962 he married the
former Shirley Lee Merchant
at the First United Methodist
Church in Walton.
Ken was a retired truck
driver for many years working for Breakstones. He was
a devoted outdoorsman who
was known to travel to places
such as Montana to hunt and
fish. He enjoyed auto racing
and would frequent local dirt
tracks and NASCAR stadiums. Ken had a passion for
golfing and his favorite golf
course was Harwood Hills in
Masonville.
Kenneth is survived by his
loving family, his wife, Shirley Lee (Merchant) Wood; his
children, Ralph (Maryann)
Wright, Fla., Donna Ann Rigdon, S.C., Crystal (Edward)
Anderson, Tenn. and Tracey
Wood, Walton; grandchildren,

and Gail (Don) Dungey, Wells
Bridge; several nieces, nephews and cousins; his loyal
companion Mac and his beloved cat John Cool.
He was predeceased by
his parents and brother, Paul
Wood.
The family would like to
thank special friends, Bobby
and Brenda Kingsbury, Spike
Gardepe, Tim Wood, and Ed
Peck for helping Ken enjoy his
life as much as he did.
Services will be held privately and at the convenience
of the family. Condolences to
the family may be made online by visiting www.courtneyfh.com.

Spencer Family
To Hold Reunion
Saturday, July 25
GILBERTSVILLE - The
4th Spencer family reunion
will be held at the Copes Corners Park, on SR 51 between
Mt. Upton and Gilbertsville,
on Saturday, July 25, in pavilion #1. We plan to start eating
around 1:30 p.m. Please bring
a dish to pass.
Jonathan Spencer was one
of the first white settlers of
the Unadilla River near Rockdale, in the Town of Unadilla.
His service in the Revolutionary War helped him discover
that valley. He, with his wife,
Martha, and some of their
many children are buried in
the Spencer cemetery, about
one mile below Rockdale, on
the Back River Road (formerly
Spencer St.). There are other
Spencer family members that
settled near Oneonta as well.
All are very cordially invited.
There will be a tour of the
Spencer cemetery in the afternoon, and a sharing of information by those who have
researched the family history.
There will also be an auction
to help raise money to cover
the cost of the park rental. If
you wish to contribute, please
do.
Some of the names of descendants who remain in the
area are: Spencer, Leech,
Hoag, Nichols, Bresee, Utter,
Laraway, Hitt, Kim, Barrows,
Dorman, Brown, and Robbins.
There may be others, let’s find
out! There will be a copier and
printer so you can take any information that you want with
you.
For more information, contact: Joyce Utter Norris at telephone 315-691-9024, or visit
our Facebook page, Spencer
Descendants from Unadilla,
NY. If you think you have
a Spencer ancestor, please
come, and we will try and help
you figure it out.

ganizations can request tickets
to enjoy an afternoon game in
designated wet or dry zones.
This year, over 6,900 tickets were mailed to families
throughout Broome, Tioga,
Chenango and Delaware Counties. This marked the second
highest attendance ever for the
sold out event.
“Super Splash Day is always a great way for families
to spend quality time together
on a summer afternoon,” Senator Libous said. “Whether in
the wet or dry zone, everyone
can have a blast and create fun
family memories.”
B-Mets staff helped fans
in the wet zones stay cool,
while fans looking to take in
the game from a drier location were able to sit behind
home plate and watch the BMets edge out the New Britain
Rock Cats in a 2-1 win.
YES! Safe Choices for
Kids is a partnership between
Senator Libous and Lourdes
Hospital. For more information on YES! Safe Choices for
