(MeF.?) Howard, John Marshall, William Barmore, Charles Gorse.⁶
• Census: Solomon appeared on the census of 1850 at Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, as "Garnsey", age 40, Carpenter, $600. With Elizabeth, 35, Selah, 16, Sarah J. 14, George 9, Mary 5. Lived between Greens, Sniffen, Purdy.
• Anecdote*: Excerpting from Fred Hubbard's Greenwich Press column of July 3, 1930: "In 1854 Capt. William Lyon was 46 years old. And although in the prime of life he was retired from the sea. He was what has been called a deep sea sailor. He was an experienced navigator. He was in the China trade. His last clipper ship was the Lady Lancashire, and an oil painting owned by the family of the late Nelson B. Mead shows her after she had shortened sail for a landing at the Liverpool docks...
  But Captain Lyon, young as he was, had retired rich. He bought the house on Putnam Avenue, for many years the home of John Voorhis, who for repeated terms was the warden of the borough. That house was torn down last year to make room for the new Pickwick Theatre. In 1854, Greenwich was a very slow suburban town. It had its advantages and one of them was that it was a very healthful place to live and everyone enjoyed the fine Sound view. Looking down Greenwich Avenue or Field Point Road in the winter one can imagine how that glimpse of the water was enlarged when no buildings or trees interfered with the view.
  But there were objections and those most prominent were two: stray cattle, geese and pigs in the highway, and unbroken roads in the deep of winter. Captain Lyon did not like these things any more than his youthful neighbor, Henry M. Benedict, liked the narrow road leading to Piping Point, now Greenwich Avenue, an account of which appeared in this column recently. There were other people who didn't like it, among them Jacob T. Weed, Augustus Lyon and Solomon Gansey. A young lawyer, Julius B. Curtis, was an office tenant of Mr. Weed and that office was the place where the discontented ones gathered. In the autumn and winter of 1854 Mr. Curtis prepared a bill which was presented to the General Assembly at its May term, 1854. The principal objects of this corporation were to run a snow plow in winter, and in summer the coralling of stray animals and the hissing geese, although they were absent from the bill.
  The preliminary expenses were paid by those who conceived the idea of a borough government. Apparently the only objects they had in view were the suppression of the two nuisances to which reference has been made. The area of the proposed borough was very small and the annual tax roll for several years was only $250, and individual bills as small as six cents, but that was enough to pay for the snow plow and the cost of the pound, located on upper Mechanic Street, now Sherwood Place, which was maintained by the statutory fees collected from the he owners of the impounded cattle, pigs and geese. And Solomon Gansey took both the snow plow and the pound jobs."⁷
  
• Property Record: Solomon was involved in a property transaction on 29 April 1854 at Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, I, Solomon S. Gansey of Greenwich in the County of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, for the consideration of the love and affection for Joseph A. Peck and his wife my daughter and one dollar received to my full satisfaction of the said Joseph and his wife Sarah Jane of said Greenwich, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto the said Joseph A. and Sarah Jane his wife a certain piece or tract of land lying in said Greenwich with buildings thereon, being a piece forty nine feet in front and rear and one hundred feet deep. Bounded north and west by my own land, east by Mechanic Street, and south by land of Gilbert Lent. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 29th day of April AD 1854, Soloman S. Gansey. Signed, Sealed and Delivered, in Presence of Daniel S. Mead, Samuel Close.
  
  Note: Mechanic Street seems to be now called Sherwood Pl, running for a block or two from Putnam, between the Methodist and the Congregational churches, north to William St. (HK, 2006).⁸
• Position*: In 1859 at Greenwich Boro, Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, Solomon was appointed Hayward of the borough, which had been chartered 10 July 1854.
• Census: Solomon appeared on the census of 1860 at Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, as Gansey, 49, Carpenter, Personal assets of $200, with Elizabeth, 45, George 20, Mary 15, and Ann M. 1. Nearby names, John Dayton, storekeeper, Benjamin Farrington E.P. Minister, Darius Mead, Philander Button.⁹
• Address*: As of 1867, Solomon Seekins Guernsey lived at West side of Mechanic Street (now Sherwood Pl.), Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut near the corner of William Street. His house was between "Mrs. B. and then J.T. Weed on the north side, and B. Wright and the E. Shepard on the south side. Across the street was the property of "H.M.B."¹⁰
• Census: Solomon appeared on the census of 1870 at Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, as Gansey, S.S., Carpenter, value of Real Estate, $2000, age 57, with E.J., 51, Mary E. 23, Anna 11. Nearby names are Elizabeth Hoyt, J.E. Brush, Benj. Wright, W.E. Ferris.¹¹
• Census: Solomon appeared on the census of 1880 at Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, as as Gurnsey, age 69, Farmer, with Elizabeth , Mary, 22 at home. I think the name is incorrect here, Annie would have been about 21, and didn't marry until the next year, and Mary would have been 34. Also listed are two farm laborers, Frank and Alfred Skoilfinder. Alfred may be living with the neighboring household, Thomas W. Brennon.
• Newspaper Mention*: The 4 June 1885 edition of the Port Chester Journal, Port Chester, Westchester, New York, mentions the Lazy Men's Society. The PCJ had sections of news from all the local communities, sent in by local contributors. A few weeks previously, the Round Hill contributor, "Nero," had written "About five y'rs ago a few of the Round-hillers organized a Lazy Men's Society with Jonathan Husted, Chairman. There were some of the most popular men of Port Chester, Glenville, Greenwich, as well as in this Village who belonged to it. Now the only surviving member we can find is the aged Chairman. We saw Charles Stephens in Port Chester a few days ago; he has mustered up courage enough to be a professional. Jas. McCollough, Ed. Angevine and Tom Tompkins are, we think, eligible. Any man who stands up and opens three cents worth of oysters for a customer and not sit down, or can drive a horse the length of Main St., and bow to every one he meets, and take his hat off to the ladies, or can get a fireman's uniform on in time to get to a fire, we think if we haven't forgot about the by--laws, can't become a member of the L.M.S. By some means or other the by-laws have got lost. Any ex-member who can give any idea of their whereabouts will be thanked by the aged Chairman." And in today's issue of the paper, a followup: "Our aged Chairman has proposed to have three other places to hold meetings of the L.M.S., as it will be such a great undertaking for the members to get to headquarters these hot days, at Port Chester, Glenville, and Greenwich. The place designated at Port Chester is under those Elm trees in front of Ed Week's butcher shop, with Mr. Guernsey, Chairman, and Dr. Odell, Sec. At Glenville in Amos Selleck's blacksmith shop, with Jim Howley, Chair, "Sack" Banks, Sec. At Greenwich, Railroad Depot with Sam Lyon Chairman and Frank Mosier, Sec. These meetings are to be held every hot day. These officers can appoint whoever they have a mind to keep off flies, and they are to be respected accordingly by order of the Aged Chairman."¹²
  
• Newspaper Mention: According to the 11 June 1885 edition of the Port Chester Journal, Port Chester, Westchester County, New York,
  Greenwich News: "Mary W[aring] Mead has rented her Octagon house to M. Foster, of New York for the summer."
  
• Church Affiliation*: As of 1886, Solomon was affiliated with Methodist Episcopal Church, Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut,this church, since his funeral services were held here.
• Death*: Solomon died on 4 September 1886, Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, at age 74.¹³
• Obituary*: Greenwich Graphic 11 September 1886 Obituary: "Solomon S. Guernsey, an old resident and pretty well known, died on Saturday. Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Wednesday."¹⁴

  Was In Her 90^th Year and For Many Years Prominent in Methodist Church Work
  Mrs. Harriet E. Ferris, widow of James R. Ferris, died suddenly at her home, 129 Prospect street, on Tuesday morning at 5:30, after a severe attack of acute indigestion which she endured for an hour and a half. Mrs. Ferris would have been 90 years old next Monday if she had lived. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. M.F. Pearsall and Miss Ella Ferris, nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
  Mrs. Ferris was born in New York, August 31, 1824 and had been a resident of this town for fifty-six years. Her husband died about six years ago. Mrs. Ferris had resided here since the town was a farming district, the Ferris family owning much of the land along what is now known as Prospect street, from Broad street to Dudley avenue, the upper part of Prospect street and Ferris place, having been opened by them.
  For many years Mrs. Ferris was a member of the First Methodist church and was one of its most prominent workers. She was for over forty years president of the Ladies Aid Society of that church. She was also active in missionary and charitable lines and her effective work in the organizations with which she was affiliated is well remembered by the older residents of the town. She was one of the charter members of the older circulating library and was later a trustee of the Westfield Public Library.
  Mrs. Ferris was always active in movements for the welfare of the town and only relinquished her work when rheumatism affected her activity. She had all her faculties until the last, was a diligent reader and bright conversationalist, keeping in close touch with National and State and local events and was deeply interested in the European war. Her death removes one of the oldest residents of the town and a noted figure from church and literary work.
  The funeral will be held this afternoon at 3:30 and will be conducted by Rev. G. Franklin Ream, of the First Methodist church, assisted by Rev. Dr. C.M. Anderson, of Plainfield, a former pastor of Mrs. Ferris. Interment will be made in Fairview Cemetery.
