The Story of a N 
ame 
The old Military R oad stretched from Crown Point, N. Y., to Charleston, N. H. 
That part of it which cut the Otter Creek river was known as Pitt s Ford. It 
was named after William Pitt, the British premier. Later, when a town sprang 
up there, the two words became one, and the village was called Pittsford. Still 
later, a product of the Vermont quarries — listed as Pittsford Valley marhle — was 
pushed out over the world. In this strange way has the name of a great English- 
man heen wrought into the fabric of a great American industry. 
The marhle from the Pittsford Valley vein is known wherever monuments are 
hou ght. The cross illustrated on this page is one which was placed in St. Marys 
cemetery by T. F. Johnson of Dover, N. J.
