The Petries in America
(Continued from last week) In Enterprise and News Jan. 30, 1938 when at the World's Fair Her- kimer's name was overlooked as an outstanding representative of the Mohawk Valley, the editor among other things said of him, "General Nicholas Herkimer deserves recog- nition not alone for his military abii- ity in formulating that intangible thing which we call American char- tion, courage and common sense in all things. Yet when duty called him to Oriskany he fought calmly and bravely and gave his life calmly 10 days later, with his pipe and Bible as companions. There is rea- son to believe that his name will outlast that off otehrs when Ameri- ca was being born and American character was in process of forma- tion."
ATTE MEMORIES OF THE TOWN OF FAIRFIELD, HERTIVIER CO. By S. C. Kimm
First Frame House In Salisbury Less than 50 years ago the little low, red house that stood but a few rods north of the home of Salis- bury's first Rice family was pointed out to me as being the oldest frame houose in Salisbury. At that time not far away stood the Burrell's Corners cheese factory. Wagon shop, ancient house and cheese fac- tory are but a memory now. One can easily picture in his imagina- tion the Rice children and children from the little frame house playing together in the yard of the district school nearby.
Just where the Rices first settled in Salisbury we do not know, but tradition says they once lived on what is now the Johnson farm across the road from Carl Barnes. Later they moved to what years ago was calied the Van Slyke farm. It would be interesting to know just how many acres of these two farms the Rices, father and sons, cleared from the primeval forest.
The Tuttle Family
From the time of the early settle- ments of Salisbury the Tuttles were prominent in town affairs. It is re- corded that at the first town meet- ing held in 1797 Jabez and Joseph Tuttle were elected "fence viewers and appraisers of damages."
Zaphar Tuttie came from Wolcott, Mass. in 1798 and „operated a grist mili on Spruce Creek, perhaps near Diamond Hills. A probably descend- ant of one of these Tuttles was David Tuttle, a farmer of 217 acres who lived on the Emmonsburg road one mile east of Salisbury Center in Civil War days. He had one son, James. The Tuttle cemetery adjoins this farm and several Tuttles are sleeping there. Not a Tuttle is left in Salisbury. For many years the Tuttles like the Coles, were promi- nent in the affairs of the Salisbury Corners Baptist church.
Rice Boys All Married Good Cooks When he was 26 years of age Grandfather Josiah Rice marrieil Sophronia Tuttle who among other family heirlooms brought the New England recipe for' making plum duff pudding. In 1853 this couple with their two sons Herman and Jo- acter. He taught tolerance and cau- seph bought the present Will Rice farm which has been occupied by the Rice families for 92 years. Much of this large farm was cleared and fitted for crops by the sturdy malo members of the family and their hired men. They brought the farm to such a high state of fertility that it has always been recognized as & leading dairy farm, up-to-date in all its methods.
Grandma Sophronia Does Hler Share When Grandma and Grandpa Rice were of middle age, the farmers of Manheim began making cheese. Each farm had its cheese house or cheese room in which to make cheese and butter. Here was the long vat in which the milk was set and the curd was formed. A. rude cheese press and hoops to give form to the fin- ished cheese which was placed on tabies or wide shelves to age or cure. The dash churn gave way to a larger churn with paddles turned by a crank to agitate the cream. After the night chores were done about three evenings each week during the winter months the chore boy was set to cranking that churn. If the
Jurgh Ergheimer, his wife Mada- iena, Johan Jost Ergheimer and his wife Catherine were all Burnetsfield patentees, being alloted 100 acres each on south side of the Mohawk river, with the exception of Mada- iena who had 70 acres south of the river and a large island in the river. A great, great, great, great grand- son of Johan Jost Herkimer, Albert L. Marshall, Watertown, N. Y., pub- lished an article in the Enterprise and News in January, 1940. In this he stated that the Ergheimers came to America about 1712 and first set- tled in Pennsylvania. Mr. Marshall said he has the original Herkimer family Bible which they brought to cream was not in the right condi- tion it might take an hour or more America about 1712. The Bible, in 1940, wa's 408 years old. He also owns the nav vouchers and nav re- to bring the hutter. How T hater

Grandma Sophronia Does HIer Share
When Grandma and Grandpa Rice were of middle age, the farmers of Manheim began making cheese. Each farm had its cheese house or cheese room in which to make cheese and butter. Here was the long vat in which the milk was set and the curd was formed. A rude cheese press and hoops to give form to the fin- ished cheese which was placed on tables or wide shelves to age or cure. The dash churn gave way to & larger churn with paddles turned by a crank to agitate the cream. After the night chores were done about three evenings each week during the winter months the chore boy was set to cranking that churn. If the cream was not in the right condi- tion It might take an hour or more to bring the butter. How I hated that old paddle churn. Too late to help the chore boy some wise guy Invented the barrel churn which re- volved end over end-a great im- provement. The butter was worked and the cheese was made by the wo- men of the household.
No Waste on the Farm
Grandma Rice saw to it that noth- ing was wasted about the house. The sweet whey from the cheese and the buttermilk not needed for cook- Ing were fed to the calves and plgs. Every scrap of grease was put Into a bucket to be used in the coming spring for making soft soap. Gosli! What a savory old bucket that be- came as the months went by.
