For many generations the Dy- gert family, which ca'ne to this DYGERT country in the early part of the seventeenth century, has been prominently identified with the civil and military affairs of the land of their adoption. The name has
been variously spelled as Deygert, Dygert, Dy- gart, Dykert. Tygart, Fygert, etc.

(V) John H., son of Henry H. Dygert, was born in Herkimer county, New York, May 5. 1807. died at Phoenix, New York, of paraly- sis, after an illness of thirty-six hours, during which time he was conscious, but unable to speak, January 8. 1890, and his remains were interred in the Phoenix Rural cemetery. The family removed to the town of Canajoharie when he was a child. After the death of the father they sold the farm, and for a num- ber of years he conducted a general store in
the village of Fort Plain, New York. In 1836 he followed his wife's father, Captain Wart, to make his home in the town of Clay, Onon- daga county, New York. After a short time he moved to the town of Lysander, where he lived just across the river from Phoenix, in a frame house owned by Major Burnett. The cellar wall of the old house may still be seen in the northeast corner of the Catholic ceme- tery. He also lived for a short time farther up the river, on the east side of the road. nearly opposite the John Pendergast place. About 1838 he bought seventy-five acres of John E. Hinman, on lot 74, town of Schroep- pel, Oswego county, New York, about three miles north of Phoenix, New York, on what is known as Bankrupt street, but only secured a deed for forty acres. In this plot is the spring which is the headwater of Brandy brook, which running south empties into the Oswego river at Phoenix. In 1840 he built what was then the largest barn in the town. and at the "raising" every able-bodied man in the town was present and assisted. About this time his mother and sister Jane (men- tioned above) came to live with him. His mother remained until her death in 1843: his sister, who was crippled, and quite helpless, remained until some time after he had re- moved to Phoenix, when she returned to Cana- joharie, New York, to live with her sister Charity, where she died, and is buried on the Dunkel farm.
Mr. Dygert while on the farm took an ac- tive part in the school affairs of his district. was trustee for several years, and was partic- ularly successful in securing good teachers. among whom may be mentioned Miss Augusta Schenck, of Fulton, who afterwards married Professor Eggleston, of Fulton, and Miss La- vinia Smith, who married Seth W. Alvord. of Phoenix. The county where he lived be- ing new and rather low, he was sick half the time with malaria. Naturally not strong the pioneer life proved too much for him. and in November, 1852, he rented his farm to George Benedict, and bought a house on ('ul- vert street. in Phoenix, from Charles S. Sweet, and made his home there. He was employed in the grocery of his brother-in- law, William Wart. After a year or two he opened a restaurant with a stock of fruit, con- fectionery, nuts, etc., in the basement of a building that stood where the S. W. Alvord brick block now stands, on the east side of
I265
NEW YORK.
Canal street. Afterward he occupied a store on the opposite side of the street where .\1- bro's billiard room is now located, and there conducted a canal grocery and barn. About 1856 he bought the grocery business of A. Wayne Sweet, and removed to a store farther down the.street, between the dry goods store of John P. Rice and the Joseph Hanchett building. In April, 1860, in partnership with his son, John W. Dygert, he bought the brick building of William Wart, his brother-in-law. and for about six years conducted a canal grocery and barn there. Prices were advanc- ing rapidly during this period, which included the civil war times, and his old friends, John Crouse and Peter Waggoner, wholesale gro- cers of Syracuse, advised him to buy heavily. promising him all the credit he needed, but he was too conservative and missed a great op- portunity for he declined to buy more than necessary to meet the demands of his cus- tomers. He prospered, however, and in part- nership with his son, John W. Dygert. he es- tablished the first coal yard, and sold the first ton of coal in Phoenix. About this time he built a substantial addition to his home. 1le was fond of his garden, which was always well kept and productive. In 1881 he sold his forty-acre farm and divided the proceeds among his children. In March, 1867, he sold the grocery business to Harrison Love, and his residence to Bonville Fuller, a druggist from Syracuse, and bought of Myron Smith the Youngs farm of fifty-two acres on the corner of Bankrupt street and Fulton road, a short distance west from his old farm. After living two years on this place he rented it and went to live on the old Wart farm in Phoenix, in the eastern part of the village. Two years later he returned to his own farm, but on account of his age he soon afterward decided to retire, and renting his farm in 1876 he went to live in the village, in a house just south of the school house. After the death of his wife he moved in 1882 into the house now owned by Charles K. Williams, on the northeast corner of Jefferson and Lock street. He bought the William Warner house on Jefferson street, March 15. 1883, and lived there the remainder of his days.
Mr. Dygert was a man of peace, and would have it if he had to fight for it. On one occa- sion, when he was keeping the canal grocery. a negro employed by an unscrupulous com- petitor was sent to take a canal team from
Dygert's barn. Naturally Dygert objected, and when the negro tried to use force, he found himself knocked into the canal from a blow with an iron shovel in the hands of Mr. Dy- gert. Ile owned a fine garden and objected to having it destroyed by the hens of a careless neighbor. Finding that his words had no ef- fect, he shot several of the visiting hens and threw them into his neighbor's yard as a re- minder. The surviving hens ceased their vis- its in the Dygert vegetable patch. Soon after moving to the town of Schroeppel he united with the Christian (or Disciples) church at ITinmansville. After taking up his residence in Phoenix he and his family attended the Congregational church. He was kind and considerate in his home, but insisted on obedi- ence from his children. He contributed to the extent of his means to every deserving cause, and to every charity that seemed to him worthy. His educational opportunities in youth were limited, but his natural ability was great and he made the most of his schooling. He is said to have spoken the purest German of any of the "Mohawkers" in this vicinity. In politics he was originally a Whig, but when his party broke up he voted for Fre- mont in 1856. In 1860 he voted for Douglas, but after the firing on Fort Sumter he sup- ported the Republican party unreservedly, and aided the government in every way in his power during the rebellion, contributing freely and often. He was a ready and forceful speaker, and having a knowledge of law and a mind of legal bent, seldom met defeat in cases he carried to court. Many who knew him believed he would have made an able lawyer. John H. Dygert was a soldier in the state militia in the old general training days. He was in the Fourteenth Regiment. Eleventh Brigade, enlisting June 1, 1824, in a company of grenadiers under Captain John Baum, and serving ten years, as per Baum's certificate in the possession of his son, H. Amenzo.
He married. January 23. 1829, Mary Ann Wart, who died at Phoenix. New York, Sep- tember 9, 1881. She was a daughter of Cap- tain Adam Wart, who in the war of 1812 commanded a company in the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth New York Regiment. whereof George H. Nellis was lieutenant-col- onel. His commission is signed by Daniel D. Tompkins, governer, and Elisha Jenkins, secretary, and dated April 30, 1811. He died
1266

in 1859. aged seventy-six years, and is buried in the old cemetery at Phoenix.
Mrs. Dygert was a woman of large heart and warm sympathies, cheerful, amiable and charitable. She never turned away a hungry beggar nor spoke a harsh word in her home. Her mother, Catherine (Walrradt ) Wart, was a daughter of Adolph and Catherine ( HFel- mar) Walrradt. She had two brothers, War- ner and William. Warner went to California at the time of the gold fever there in 1849. returning after some success to settle in Mis- souri, where he lived during the civil war. and suffered the loss of most of his personal property from raiders on both sides. Her other brother, William, born April 10, 1818. in the town of Canajoharie. Montgomery county. New York, also lost his property. He then removed to Newell, Iowa, where he studied law, and took an' active interest in politics. He died July 12, 1901, of paralysis, aged eighty-three years, three months, and two days, at Newell, Iowa, leaving to his heirs a fortune. Catherine, Mrs. Dygert's only sister. married Hiram Fox, and died August 23. 1910. at Phoenix, New York. Catharine (Walrradt ) Wart, mother of Mrs. Dygert, died in April, 1852, aged sixty-eight years. and is buried in the cemetery at Pennellville. Oswego county, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Dygert had eight children.
(VI) Adam De Witt, son of John H. Dy- gert, was born October II, 1832, at Oak Hill. town of Canajoharie. Montgomery county. New York. He went with his father's family to Oswego county, and worked on his fatlı- er's farm until about 1850, when he left home and went to work in Fulton, New York. Later he went west for a time, taught school in the vicinity of Phoenix, and was clerk in various stores there. In 1866 he and his brother John built some canal boats, and from that time until 1884 he was engaged in business as owner of canal boats, accumulating, and then losing a considerable fortune. He then opened an insurance and real estate office in Phoenix and continued in that business the remainder of his life. For many years he was assessor of the town and died in office. The town board offered to appoint his brother. H. A. Dygert. to fill the vacancy, but he declined on account of the lack of time. He married, January 3. 1858, at Phoenix.
