In 1881, Mr. Swan was elected president of the New York State Agricultural Society, and the State Fair at Elmira in that year was held under his direction. He was one of the organiz- ers, in 1881, of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station located a little west from Geneva, and for several terms, served as president of its board of control.
Mr. Swan removed with his family to the Village of Geneva several years before his decease. His wife, Margaret, a daugh- ter of John Johnston, died at Columbia, S. C., while absent there for the winter-a year prior to the decease of her husband.
While temporarily absent in New York City, Mr. Swan died suddenly of the same disease of which his wife died-heart disease-March 4, 1890. His mortal remains wereinterred by the side of his wife in Glenwood Cemetery at Geneva, N. Y. One daughter still survives him.

TOWN OF FAYETTE
HERMAN TENEYCK FOSTER, son of Andrew and Anna Foster, was born in the City of New York, March 1, 1822. His father was a merchant, of Scottish birth, and his mother of Holland lineage.
At the age of fifteen years, young Foster entered Columbia Col- lege in New York City, and completed a full college course of instruction. After a brief period devoted to a trial of mercantile life, Mr. Foster concluded to make farming his life pursuit.
In June, 1843, when he had barely arrived at his majority, he purchased 230 acres of land in Fayette, located on the east shore of Seneca Lake, on Military Lot No. 36, about three miles south of Rose Hill farm, which he named "Lakelands." He devoted much time to the improvement of his farm, and his industry and good management were rewarded when, in 1848, he received the first premium of the Seneca County Agricultural Society for the best farm in the county, and in 1849 received the State premium of the New York State Agricultural Society, upon his farm.
Mr. Foster was not ambitious for public preferment, and beyond a brief service as secretary of the County Agricultural Society and as a member of the executive board of the State Agricultural Society, he held no public positions except as over- seer of highways.
In 1845 he married Miss Pauline Lentilhon of New York City, who was early called away by death, leaving a son and two daughters.
Mr. Foster died Feb. 9, 1869, at the early age of 47 years.
WILLIAM K. STRONG was born in Duanesburg, County of Schenectady, N. Y., April 30, 1805.
He improved the limited educational advantages which were offered him, and in his youth went to the City of New York and obtained employment in a mercantile house engaged in the wool trade, in which he advanced to the position of a partner.
He married Miss Sarah A. VanGiesen of that city, and in 1839 removed to Rose Hill, in Fayette, where his wife was interested in the ownership of a part of the large farm formerly owned by Hon. Robert S. Rose, of which interest he took the manage-

ment. His wife dying in August, 1843, Mr. Strong soon after- wards returned to New York City, and was again married.
He died in that city, March 15, 1868. Several children sur- vive him.
His father, Josiah Strong, a Revolutionary soldier, died at Rose Hill, Nov. 14, 1841, aged 84 years. He had served in the battles at Trenton and Princeton, New Jersey, and at Brandy- wine and Germantown, Pennsylvania.

CAYUGA COUNTY-PROPOSED DIVISION OF.
Copy of the original petition in New York State Library. To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New York :
The petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of the township of Washington, County of Cayuga, humbly showeth :
That whereas, sundry persons are about petitioning your honorable body for a division of said County by a north and south line, your petitioners beg leave to represent, that the said County is about seventy miles from north to south and not more than thirty miles from east to west.
Your petitioners therefore remonstrate against the division of said County. But should your honorable body deem it expedient and proper to divide said County, they pray that it may be divided by an east and west line beginning at the southeast corner of Lot No. 70 Sempronius, thence west to the Cayuga Lake, thence across said Lake to the division line of Ovid and Romulus and thence along said line to the Seneca Lake.
And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
