 which time, in 1851, Constant Cook purchased the 

 mill property and farm. In 1852, Mr. Cook built 

 the saw-mill, and in 1853 built the new grist-mill, 



under the supervision of Warren S. Hodgman. 

 April, 1857, Mr. Hodgman became a joint owner 

 with his brother (L. D.) in the property ; they have 

 continued in business ever since, the firm being known 

 as W. S. Hodgman & Co. Mr. Hodgman is also

 in his town. He has been assessor for ten consecu- 

 tive years, supervisor for one term, and president of 

 the board of education for three years. He has been

 Co., N. Y., April 3, 1837. Of this union six children 

 were born, viz. : Edward B., Harry L. (deceased), 

 Mary F., Lyman B., Clara L., and Susie B. Mr. 

 Hodgman is from one of the best families of old

 of his honored parents. 



He is one of the leading men in Steuben County, 

 and his influence for good is felt in the community 

 in which he resides.
