DIRECTORY OF THE TOWN OF WINFIELD

1869 -1870

The Hamilton Child Company of Syracuse, New York produced directories of New York counties for 1869. These directories are useful in conjunction with the 1870 US census, and are available at many New York State libraries and historical societies either in print or on microfilm. In producing these directories, a few residents may have been missed. Absence of a family or person does not always mean that they didn't live there. In transcribing this material we have kept the original spelling and punctuation.

IMPORTANT: For all Hamilton Child county directory listings, the locations in parentheses are the post offices where residents received their mail. In some cases, although a person resided in a particular township or settlement, their post office may have been in another township or county.

We have no further information on individuals or families listed in the Hamilton Child directories. If you spot your ancestor in any of our directory listings, please contact directly the appropriate Herkimer or Montgomery county historical society for further assistance.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES

Mrs. D. B. Briggs, author of the Briggs' Diagram for cutting Dresses, Basques, &c., West Winfield, Herkimer Co., N.Y., advertises on page 208. The first edition of this was issued in 1854, since which four later editions have been issued, changing to suit the styles and to remedy all the defective points, until it is superior to any other extant. By its aid one can cut all the garments worn upon the shoulders, giving perfect ease and a graceful, stylish fit. Agents wanted. Call on, or address Mrs. D. B. Briggs, West Winfield, Herkimer Co., N.Y.

Henry A. Fairfchild, Cabinet Maker and Undertaker, West Winfield, N.Y. advertises on page 204. He keeps a good assortment of Coffins, Caskets, &c., and attends funerals at short notice. Those interested will do well to give him a call.

West Winfield Academy is located at West Winfield, Herkimer Co., N.Y., sixteen miles south of Utica, with which city and Ilion it is connected by lines of daily stages. The building is well arranged and commodious, containing rooms for the teachers and for boarders, as well as large, well ventilated recitation rooms. Students who complete the full course of study will receive a Diploma. Instruction is given in all the branches usually taught in a first -class Academy, including the ornamental branches. A teachers' class will be formed at the commencement of the winter term, and instruction given with a special reference to fitting teachers for their duty. The institution has an extensive Library to which students have access free. The apparatus is sufficiently extensive to teach the Natural Sciences successfully. The institution is now in a fluorishing condition under the management of D. P. Blackstone, A. M., Principal. See advertisement on page 204.
