Myzon Parde Caroline A. Parde
MYRON PARDEE.
MYRON PARDEE was born in Manheim, Herkimer county, New York, in 1819. His ancestors were: Joseph, born 1664; married Elizabeth Yale, daughter of the first Thomas Yale, of New Haven, Connecticut ; John, of Nor- walk, Connecticut, in 1698, settled in Sharon, Connecticut, where he became a large landed proprietor. He was a lientenant in the army. His son James built, in 1751, the brick residence in Sharon known as the " Pardee House," which is still (1877) standing, and occupied by his grand- son. Thomas, 1722; Samuel, 1746; and Luther, 1789, were the rest, by generations, in lineal descent.
Myron Pardee was a pupil of the Rev. Seth F. Swift in the Oswego select school in 1833, and afterwards grad- uated from Fairfield academy, in Herkimer county, New York, coming to Oswego again for a permanent residence in 1837, when he entered the service of Bronson & Crocker, proprietors of an extensive forwarding and commission house, and remained with them six years. He traveled for them in 1842-43 as agent and salesman of flour and grain, spending both summers in Montreal and Quebec, and passing through the riotous Corkonians and far-downers of the "Long Sault Canal" with large sums of money; the avails of his sales in Montreal and Quebec, often amounting to many thousands of dollars, were sent by him, per express, in silver to New York via Lake Champlain, and by stage coaches. In 1844 he entered into partnership with Frederick T. Carrington in the flouring and grain trade, Mr. Carrington conducting the business in Oswego, and Mr. Pardee trading in the west through New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois, engaged in the purchase of grain and in
building vessels on Lake Erie. This continued for six years, and, in connection with his former travels for Bronson & Crocker, gave him a large experience in the trade and com- merce of the lakes. From 1844 to 1850 there were no telegraph lines and but few railroads in these regions, and away from the steamboats of the lakes the traveling was done either by stage coach or private conveyance. Then the man who drove the fastest horses and rode the most nights was rewarded by the most successful purchases. Mr. Pardee's business prospered, and in connection with Mr. Carrington he became a large holder of real estate in Oswego, including therein the canal and water-power of the west side of the river. The first large grain-elevator of Oswego (known as the Ontario elevator) was built by Car- rington & Pardee, and Moses Merrick.
In 1847, Mr. Pardee, at Augusta, Maine, married Caroline A. Webber (whose portrait accompanies his own at the head of this page), and in 1848 he built his present residence, known as " Lakeside." He has been an active business man. Never sought or held public office. Alnost the only record of his early carcer in Oswego was his serv- ing as a fireman in 1834, when the first great fire swept away the flouring-mill on the east side. His certificate as a fireman (signed by John Grant, Jr., president of the village of Oswego) is now framed and kept by the present fire council, and is among the oldest certificates in existence.
Mr. Pardee's general character for integrity and fair deal- ing, his public-spirited enterprise and liberality, and other excellent qualities of head and heart, are too well known to need any comment from us.
