My time is spent, my days are past, Eternity must count the rest My glass is out; my race is run, The holy will of God is done.

In memory of Asa Slayton, son of Mr. Josiah , and Mrs. Polly Slayton, who died Oct. 24, 1820 Ae' 19. Deatlı like a dart did plerce my heart When I was in my prime;

When this you see grieve not for me "Twas , God's appointed time.

Orlando J., son of Capt. Josiah and Mrs. Sarah Slayton 1841 Ae. 9. Sweetly he sleeps beneath the sod Released from every pain, His precious dust the care of God Shall raise to life again.

Mrs. Sarah, wife of Capt. J. Slay- ton died July 12, 1852. Ae 50 years. She has departed to dwell in those regions of bliss,

And drink streams of pleasure un- tasted in this.

But soon we shall follow her home to our God

And again we shall join her in sweet- est accord.

The Ecklers and Van Hornes were closely related by marriage ties In Herkimer county, Syracuse, Utica, Schenectady, Albany and elsewhere. This John E. Eckler was a tanner | of several influential people now liv- and farmer. Before 1822 he moved to , ing In Herkimer.

The Deserted

way disappears in the forest. With 'he ald of a spyglass, we look to the vestward across Spruce Creek marsh and see a group of children over on the Slip road. In this group of carefree lads and lassies we re- cognize six year old Erwin Kelley and his older brothers Luclus and Orson.

Fifteen Homes

Seventy years ago these pioneers, nearly all Irish .Immigrants, were raising large families of sturdy boys and girls who were brought up to work and to obey. They were taught to look out for themselves. They learned the value of money and how to use it wisely. They formed an in- dependence of character that In later years made them leaders in thelr chosen occupations In this and other counties of the state.

Soldiers

This old Mexico road sent several soldiers to the Civil War. I recall James, Will and Eb Comstock. James never returned. Bill was the father of Mike Comstock, long time super- visor of his town. Bill was the grandfather and great grandfather

Alex Traver, the old style car- penter, had three sons all of whom I think went to war. One of them became a lieutenant and was chiefly instrumental in the erection of the monument standing near the court house in Herkimer to perpetuate the memory of Col. Suiter's Regiment. The Traver boys' names were Bill, Theodore and Henry.

Other Prominent People

The Murrays sent out farmers, business men and teachers. They were among the best farmers in Fairfield. A Murray owns the pro- ductive Whipple farm across from Barto Hill school house. Fifty five years ago Will Murray was one of the leading rural teachers of Her- kimer county.

The O'Haras

Another outstanding Mexico boy was Charles O'Hara who was a long Ume farmer In Eaton's Bush. No man. could be, more highly respected in The sphere 'in which he worked. I think his sister married Pat Keeler, and his son Is the present efficient

supervisor of the town of Little Falls.

The Redmons

George Redmon who ran the old horse tread threshing machine and threshed the oats for the big far- mers was the progenitor of the Red- mons In the vicinity of Little Falls. I think Bernie McDonald, the long time efficient' manager of the Little Falls Grange store married Mr. Red- mon's granddaughter.

Craftsmen

From the old Mexico road came Johan Rice who was foreman for many years in the' Library Bureau in Ilion. Jim Walrad, foreman 'in the Standard Desk factory and for many years president of the Herkimer VII- lage Board of Education. Jim Dun-, ning, well known contractor and bullder and fifer in the 16th Heavy Artillery in the Civil War. These three men were not born on the Mexico road but they lived there some 60 years ago.

The Murphys:

And what shall I say of the Mur- phys? They are scattered far and wide. One of Mike .Murphy's three sons became a famous cheese mak- er. He moved to Allegheny county where he became a leaing man in the cheese industry during that 're- markable cheese 'era of the 70s and 80s.

. The McEvoys

One of the most influential of the Mexico families were the McEvoys. John was a leading Fairfield farmer for many years. In old days he mov- ed to Herkimer where his sons carry on a high grade dairy business. An- other very prominent member of this family, uncle of the Herkimer McEvoys was the Hon. P. H. Mc- Evoy. He worked his way through Fairfield and a law school and en- tered on the practice of his profes- sion in the city of Little Falls. "At one time he represented his district In the assembly at Albany. His keen mind and forceful address helped' him win many a case. He had' a. great fund of common sense acquired by the struggles of his early life: His honesty of purpose and straight forward manner won for him the. confidence of both judge and jury. His early death cut short' a" most. promising career.

Just who cleared this farm from the dense forest I do not know. But during our visit we hear the names of Jones and Doyle and the two Nichols brothers. Here in the dense forest we find productive meadows and pastures where con- tented cows are grazing.
