Description An account of the resource Number 46 on the Burleigh map, this longstanding establishment dates from 1864 (when Williams went into business with Thomas G. Edgar) on through his sole proprietorship beginning in 1879 to his eventual sale of the firm in 1902 to DeLancey A. Cameron. The range of Williams' business was considerable: he ran a planing mill; he manufactured sashes, doors, and blinds; he was Caledonia's largest dealer in coal. A profile in the Caledonia "Advertiser" held that his business "has always been conducted on principles of pure mercantile integrity, which has given the business a reputation and standing and gained for it the confidence of the entire community" (17 Jan. 1893). In his personal life, Williams was a long-time member (and Superintendent) of the First Presbyterian Church before changing his affiliation to the United Presbyterian church in 1881. Along with his work for the Caledonia school board, it was claimed that "no man in Livingston county, has done more to help the poorer classes secure homes of their own." Due to the primarily commercial, not retail, nature of his business there are no known advertisements for or logos of Williams' operation. These images date to the ownerships of DeLancey Cameron (1902) and William Henderson & HD Smith (1908).

Bundy, Tonsorial Artist Description An account of the resource Number 44 on the Burleigh map, in plain language this was a barber shop that had been operating since 1885. Prior to that, Bundy had worked in the shop of his brother Thomas while attending school. By the time of the map's publication, Charles was about to be married to Delilah Sellers, the woman with whom he would have two sons: James Samuel and Benjamin Franklin. Charles P. Bundy (1861-1896) probably followed his brother from Virginia to Caledonia for economic opportunity. Thomas, impressed into military service by the Confederacy, was captured by Union forces and then served Lieutenant-Colonel Francis E. Pierce of the 108th New York Volunteer Infantry. Thomas followed the regiment to Western New York and eventually made a life as a barber before his tragic death in 1885, after which Charles ran his own shop. Bundy was active in other business endeavors--a grocery partnership with George Davis (who was married to his sister), and this advertisement for fresh oysters (presumably arranged via his contacts in Maryland and Virginia). Sadly, just a week later Bundy had died from longstanding health problems that had severely limited his activities.

This mention in the local newspaper dates to 1892. The first love of L[ouis] M. Place (ca. 1859-1896) seems to have been horses--as of 1881, he was entered in the so-called "butcher's races" at the Avon Driving Park race track. In 1890 he was seriously injured by horses and suffered poor health in the years following. He married Clara Laidlaw in 1891.

Description An account of the resource Number 37 on the Burleigh map, Caledonia House had been a travelers' hotel for more than sixty years by the time of this panoramic view. It was built in 1830 by James Shaw, a mason who gave the structure two-foot-thick walls and hefty beams (not to mention Masonic motifs above the upper-floor windows). For years the "Stone Hotel" was an important stop along the stage-coach roads passing through Caledonia. After Shaw, subsequent managers had included his son John, Jared Moss, Algeroy Smith, Theodore Wilkinson, P.P. Foote, Robert Woollett, George Outterson, John F. Lawton, D.W. Hartney, D.C. Walker, and John A. Keyes. In 1908 the building began its new use as the Eunice Lodge, 830, of the Free & Accepted Masons--which continues to this day. Robert Woollett appears to have been owner of Caledonia House between 1888 (purchased after the death of Prosper Philander Foote) and 1893, when he sold out to George Outterson due to his wife's illness. These two images show advertisements for Woollett's livery business at Caledonia House prior to his purchase of the property, and then his leap into the melee of selling spirits in Caledonia--an important source of revenue for the hotel. In the following years a cat-and-mouse game transpired between Woollett and temperance advocates, with sudden appearances of excise agents brandishing subpoenas. At the time Woollett sold his hotel, the Caledonia "Advertiser" smirked that he "did well in a financial sense" (23 Feb. 1893). By 1903, the Caledonia "Era" would be fuming that “The conduct of the hotel lately has been enough to bring a blush to the cheek of a brass monkey and it is to be hoped it will never be re-opened again until it can be conducted decently” (16 Dec. 1903). It simply wasn't possible to make money on the property as travelers' rest, anymore, and it became a Masonic Temple.

Menzie, Physician & Surgeon Description An account of the resource Number 36 on the Burleigh map, the office of Dr. Robert J. Menzie (1832-1915) probably was the most advanced medical care available in Caledonia. After completing his degree at the University of Buffalo in 1866, he moved to the village and established a practice that was to serve residents for 45 years. At the time of his death, the Caledonia "Era" praised him as "a constant student of and most devoted to his profession...the lives of many persons in this community today were saved through his keeping abreast of the times in the great advance of surgery during his active practice" (21 April 1915). These two images suggest the importance of his profession to Dr. Menzie. The first is an entirely atypical advertisement taken out by him in 1890 for a lost "state society badge," namely that of the New York Medical Association (and quite unique, because his was among those given to its Original Fellows in 1884). Its symbol-laden design adopts the mottos "Excelsior" for efforts to "elevate and advance the science of medicine," and "Guard the Faith" for a vow "that we always jealously adhere to our principles." It's not certain whether Menzies ever was reunited with his badge, but in the eyes of his community it didn't matter--he had lived by those principles.

Title A name given to the resource Walker & Wilkinson, General Hardware Description An account of the resource Number 34 on the Burleigh map, longstanding store advertised itself as "Again doing business at their old stand" in April 1892--after the February 1891 Caledonia fire. Run by William H. Walker and Ara Wilkinson, their partnership dated to at least 1888; the store promoted itself as a bastion of civility in an increasingly cash-only environment, still settling accounts every October 1 and April 1. The fire seems to have presented insurmountable challenges for, although they were back in business just a month later (in a temporary location on State St.), their partnership was dissolved in 1894. Wilkinson sold out his share to Matteson, who continued the business with Walker. The reason? Professor Wilkinson also was principal at the Caledonia school and was stretched thin.

Title A name given to the resource Outterson & Lee, Meat Market Description An account of the resource Number 33 on the Burleigh map, by the time of panorama's publication Outterson & Lee's firm had been dissolved, settling all debts in April 1892. In 1878 George Outterson opened "a saloon and restaurant under Grant's meat market"; it's unclear whether he eventually took over that firm, or was starting up a new one with Lee. Outterson was one of many whose livelihood had been impacted by the 1891 Caledonia fire, so that Burleigh's map was at least partly aspirational, not purely descriptive. After dissolving his old partnership, in April 1892 Outterson applied to the Board of Excise for a saloon permit (the application was denied), then in 1893 he purchased the Caledonia House--also called the old "Stone Hotel"--from Robert Woollett, the hotel's proprietor at the time of Burleigh's map. Outterson died three years later, in 1896.
