How did Dan, the subject of this made him such a respected member of his community? Was it inheri- tance? Was it a mother's training ? Or was it both of these combined ? Dan's mother was left a widow with eight little boys and only a few dol- lars in property. She resisted every temptation and every offer to separ- ate her brood. So long as she was able she would provide a place where her boys could return and tell mother of disappointments and successes. She kept this home until her boys were grown to manhood and established in life-an accomplishment which far exceeded that of any of her famous neighbors who received the plaudits of the world.


A Long and Pleasant Acquaintance Seventy-eight years ago the two oldest Barragan boys and I attended the school in the old red school house (Pine Crest). I have seen all eight boys as hired help. I have seen them all grow into positions of usefulness in the various occupations which they chose. I have seen all 'but one quietly enter on that journey that knows no return.

Dan Barragan


By S. C. Kimm


of The passing of Dan Barragan Salisbury is worthy of more than casual notice. A man who has lived in the same village for more than 70 years maintaining his integrity from boyhood to old age, honest and up- right in all hls dealings, whose word was as good as his bond, trusted and respected by every acquaintance, is worthy of pralse and the deepest re- gret at his departure.


A Village of Fine People Dan is not the only specimen of useful manhood who has been a blessings to soclety in that little vil- lage. It can be honestly said that no hamlet of such a small population' in Herkimer county or perhaps In the state has furnished more men of far. reaching influence than has Salis- bury Corners and adjacent territory. Wherever locks are used to protect man's treasures in all the civilized world Salisbury's greatest inventor, Linus Yale is known. The state legis- lature has drawn ability from this northern hamlet and she has furnish- ed at least two sheriffs and other county officials. When cheese was king of farm products she produced cheese makers who made Herkimer county cheese famous, both in Amerl-


ed the village school of which I was teacher for several terms. In retro- spect I see two little urchins sitting in a front seat, one with white hair and the other with black hair just a bit higher than the desk. The boy with black hair grew into a business career and was an influence in the politics of his town. Years later I found myself in college with the white headed urchin. Such are the strange happenings in life. That other white headed boy 'on the back seat be- came one of our state's best fores- ters. We roamed together the great north woods and together often at- tended educational gatherings. He too is gone and now that other great lad who sat on the back seat of that old school house 65 years ago has cross- ed the dark river into the great n- known. I had hoped that Dan would be the one to place me in my last resting place in God's Acre which has been made most beautiful and at- tractive by Dan's watchful care. The twinkle In his eyes and his geneial smile during, his long and useful life have made the world a little better for all of his neighbors and friends. No longer will we see Dan busying himself with the humble chores of


a well kept home. No longer will we see him running his mower over the the be best kept lawn in his village. When in the future the cortege enters broad cemetery drive there will no Dan to comfort the friends as they conduct the last sad rites for thelr departed dear ones.


All Equal in Death


rest are the wealthy ones for whom he worked as a lad. Here, too, sleep the neighbors who interchanged kind words and helpful deeds of a long life time. Here also rest mother and brothers but stranger hands will tend their graves. Winter winds will sing requiems over God's Acre as of yore. The robin will chant his evening lay and the flowers give off their perfume- but none of these shall rouse them from their lowly bed.


As a parting tribute to Dan, my pupil and dear friend ,let me quote from Longfellow's beautiful poem, "God's Acre":


"Into Its furrows shall we all be cast In the sure faith we shall rise again At the great harvest when the arch- angels' blast


Shall winnow, Ilke a fan, the chaff and grain


Then shall the good stand in immortal bloom


In the fair gardens of that second birth!


And each bright blossom mingle the perfume


With that of flowers which never bloomed on earth."


Jamestown is the center of New York State's furniture industry. The city Is the scene of the nationally famous Jamestown Furniture Mart held there semi-annually.
