Text Any textual data included in the document ETHEL: I was born in 1917, so that makes me—well I’m going to be 94. I never did have a real good memory. I always used to tell people that they’ll never know when I have Alzheimer’s disease. ALYSSA: That’s smart. You’re just planning ahead. ETHEL: Well, yeah. But anyway, I’ve been very fortunate. I’ve enjoyed life. I was born at a good time. There was. I’ve gone through several wars as you well know and um, also breadlines, we had all that and seemed to come out of it very well. My family was middle class, we were not poor, we were not wealthy, and worked for everything we got. My dad was a very ambitious man. I have two brothers. I’ve got to count them all. I have twin sisters and two others. [. . .] ALYSSA: How long were you a beautician? ETHEL: Oh golly, I’ve forgotten when I graduated from high school. I think I had the beauty shop probably four years before we got married and we got married in ’41. I had the shop in my home for about four years and in the meantime, my husband had gotten a job. He went to Buffalo State and he was an industrial arts teacher and mechanical drawing so he had a job here in Geneseo. So that was in ’40. I think I’ve got those years right. Today it seems like they’re so busy, most of them that they just don’t have time for the kids. ALYSSA: Did he teach at the college? ETHEL: The high school. ANNA: Where did you meet your husband? ETHEL: Would you believe we started first grade together and went all through school together? ALYSSA: Oh my gosh!! That’s so precious. ETHEL: I’ve got some pictures of him in the clothes that kids wore, for his First Communion I have pictures of him. He wore a white suit. It was almost like a sailor suit with the wide collar in the back, ya know. I don’t know if they have them now. It went up and then it was boxed around the back. You know, a rectangle around the back. He had white socks on and black shoes. And hair, longer hair. Completely different than the kids are today. He was a neighbor, as I said. We didn’t pay attention to each other at all. We weren’t the least bit interested until we got in our senior year and we couldn’t afford to do anything about it because he had to have his education. He went to Buffalo State then and that’s where he got his degrees and I told you that he worked his way up here to being principal and so on. He started as shop teacher at this high school in mechanical and pretty soon he became vice principal, principal and then supervising principal when he died. ALYSSA: How did he get a job in Geneseo? ETHEL: I had gone to beauty school and socially I had a friend who had a beauty shop so when I was home in Williamsville I had a beauty shop in my home but when we came here, this friend of mine had a beauty shop up on Main St. right next to the parish center, you know where the Catholic church is in that house right beyond there? She had a beauty shop so it was a small town and a small business so I worked with her for a number of years and it worked out very well. ALYSSA: Do you remember what you used to wear when you were younger? I know you were just talking about your husband’s little sailor suit. Do you remember any of the outfits you used to wear? ETHEL: Yeah, I will, if you’re interested, look up some pictures. I can’t do it today. You wouldn’t know the hairstyles that they had then. My hair was almost black when I was a kid and I guess it really, really was black. I never quite thought it was but my dad did and he always, always called me “Blackie”. I can remember, I had bangs across here-right above the eyebrows and then came down straight and straight across the back. It was like a boy, they called them boy cuts. That was the style at the time. I didn’t mind it at all, I thought it was pretty cute. Anyway, so I worked for her for, I don’t know how many years, whenever she needed help. It was nice because we were having children at that time. My husband, he would get home from work and he would take care of the kids while I, although by that time, they were in school so I could work during the day too. It was a good life. ANNA: How many kids did you have? ETHEL: Three girls. Linda was the one you met, she’s the oldest. Then I’ve got another one, Debbie O’Mara. Do you know anybody in town by that name? That’s an old family. And she lives on the Long Point Road. You know how to get to Long Point? ANNA: To Conesus Lake? Yup ETHEL: Yeah. Going down the hill, the Long Point Rd. hill, you go straight, takes you right to the park and they’re that last house on that hill as you go down. It’s set way, way back. It’s hard to see because they have a field of weeds in front of i,t but when you drive, it’s a long drive way, but when you get back they have it mowed and so on. But they have their privacy with their field of weeds in the front of it. They’ve got a really cute house. It’s an interesting house. I remember the first time I saw it before they moved into it somebody else had built it and it was in the process of being built and they parted companies, and it never got finished. Deb and Tim bought it. It has a bough. It looks like the bough of a ship at the front. It’s very interesting to look at but inside is just darling. But I thought, “Oh my gosh! Who would want to live in that house?” Before I knew she was interested in it. But it was the cutest house. Like I said, the people were in the process of building it when they broke up so the main parts of the house were done but the trim around the doorways and windows and baseboards, things like that had to be done. They bought it as is and completed it themselves. It really is cute. ALYSSA: It sounds like it. So they fixed it up nicely? ETHEL: Yeah they like old things and they’ve got a house full. His mother and father were antique hunters and they’ve got it fixed up real cute. And of course he’s a collector too. Just like them. The garage is full of antique things that are meaningful to him, to someone else they probably aren’t, but they are to him. ANNA: Have you always lived in this house in Geneseo? ETHEL: No, when we first moved here, we lived right down on Second Street. Do you know where the Stucco house is down there? It’s right below here if you go to South Street and go down Second. It’s what? The second house from South Street. ALYSSA: Did you live in the apartment when you had Linda? ETHEL: No, we didn’t. After we moved out of that apartment, why did we move? We were probably there for two years. Then we lived in a house up on Oak St. It was a house to ourselves. The first one was an upstairs apartment. So we moved to the house up on Oak St. and we lived there I think two years and then Linda was born in this house. It was about five years before we moved into this house. It was in bad shape. It needed to have a lot of work done on it and as you come in the front door there, it’s a large living room.

Text Any textual data included in the document MARION: Well, but since Michael had said that he was interested in people growing up in Geneseo and knowing more about this, as I say I wasn’t here in the early years, so, I really can’t speak to that but I’ll go on with what I had. The Bailey Science Building, I don’t know if you knew, that’s where all the Biology was. Alright, in the Bailey Science Building it took hours to set up lab exams, setting out specimens for identification, you would have a pin or something pointing to the- have either one of you taken Biology? PAMELA: Yeah, I’ve done that. MARION: Alright. Well, anyway, it took a long time to set up these labs and that, hours. So the students were told the only excuse for missing a lab exam was to bring in a newspaper, published obituary of a grandmother’s death. [. . .] He wanted to impress on them, you know, gotta be something really serious, ya know, if you missed this test, so, that stuck in my mind that he’s telling me that he told the students that. [. . .] Okay, my husband maintained, in the basement of Bailey, a vivarium, that’s a living amphibians and reptile collection used for teaching and demonstration. He had snakes, salamanders, frogs, toads, turtles, and lizards were some of the animals. Many hours were required to feed, water, and clean the animal cages including time spent on Saturdays and Sundays. An injured owl was a resident until it recovered and was returned to the wild. Not only college students but grade-school students benefitted. Another time, my husband left the Thanksgiving table to help a student pick up a road-kill deer for the paragon falcon he was studying and taking care of. My husband spent many evenings past midnight pounding away on his manual Underwood typewriter typing lectures for herpetology, mammalogy, zoology, conservation of natural resources, botany, and ornithology classes. Field trips for the ornithology took place at 4:30 am when the birds were up. Now, there were some students who didn’t bother going to sleep at all, they just stayed up all night and thought that was an easier thing! DEBRA: Oh, I was just wondering if you went on many field trips to different places. MARION: So, yes, he did, he was a fishery biologist before he went into teaching so he took some of the students on trips where they would identify certain fish and that. And then as I say his big interest was in snakes and there was a place near Honeoye Lake where there was some poison snakes, but it was on private land and he had to get permission to take his students there and they all wore hip-boots and that. So he had a couple trips there and then in Letchworth, the park doesn’t like to, you know, talk about it, but there is an area over there where there were some poisonous snakes so he had some- but it’s not near the camping area or any place where people are gonna be wandering and that.

Text Any textual data included in the document CHELSEA: What was it like moving? You were in Dansville correct, before you moved to Geneseo? CATHERINE: Well… I was in with my son- I didn’t have a place, I was looking for something. CHELSEA: So how was it different moving to Geneseo? CATHERINE: Well I didn’t really plan on moving to Geneseo and I wrote a story about that too: I planned on moving to Batavia ‘cause I had a child in Buffalo, and a child in Rochester, and a child in Dansville and if you look at the map Batavia’s right in the middle and so I thought that was the place to go but I didn’t like Batavia -it’s not a city and it’s not a little town- and I’d never heard of Geneseo, but one time I was coming back -I was staying with my son in Dansville- so when I was coming back I got off three ninety and came through town and so I said when I got down there, I said “I think I’ll go up to Geneseo and look around tomorrow.” And he goes “Oh mom, you don’t want to move there- that’s a college town.” So I said “Well I’ll go up and see,” and I had an apartment by noontime! I lived down and back of the Ponderosa, where the Ponderosa was, there are apartments there. And so what I did when I came up was I went to the store and got a penny-saver, and I went to Burger King and looked for apartments and then at that point Wegmans was down in that -where the Goodwill is now- there was a Wegmans store. So I went over there and used the phone booth and I said “I read this ad about an apartment and I wanted to see it,” and it was on Jacqueline Way- do you know where Jacqueline way is? Well, anyway I asked her where Jacqueline Way was and she asked me where I was, and I said “I’m in the phone booth by Wegmans,” so she said “Well if you walk out of the booth and go straight ahead you’re on Jacqueline way.” It’s that street where the apartments are. CHELSEA: Yea, I think I know where that is… CATHERINE: Well, if you went out of the Goodwill door and went straight -not up by 20-A but straight across- that’s the apartments. CHELSEA: So what made you decide to get an apartment so quickly in Geneseo? CATHERINE: I don’t know: I just wanted to look at it and I liked everything about it so I rented it. You get tired of rooming around sometimes- so I stayed there for four years and then I had the house built. CHELSEA: So what’s it like living in a college town? CATHERINE: Oh I think it’s wonderful, yea there’s always something to do down there. I went down to that -what is it at the beginning of the year with all music programs?- the singing and the- I forget what they call it, but it’s just a little taste of the musicians and … CHELSEA: Oh of each group? That’s the Kaleidoscope concert that they have for parent’s weekend. CATHERINE: Yeah that’s it, I couldn’t think of the name. Do you go? CHELSEA: I went the first two years, and since then I’ve been going to the actual performers that I liked the most, their shows. CATHERINE: But it’s like a little sample, have you been? CHELSEA: No I didn’t get to go- my friend played in it though but I’ll be there next year. CATHERINE: Okay good! [laughs] But I like the plays… and it’s really good. CHELSEA: So you said after you went to Geneseo for a bit you went got your degree… CATHERINE: No, I got my degree before I came up here- an Associate’s degree. And I never got a degree from here because you can sit in on the classes but you don’t get a grade. CHELSEA: So when did you get your Associate’s degree? CATHERINE: I was sixty years old: I went back to college after my husband died with a girlfriend and we graduated together. But we were taking just a course at night- like I say, the last year we had to take a full course at the community college but that was the only time I took four subjects at one time and that’s hard! It’s like every teacher thinks they’re the only ones giving you homework! [laughs] CHELSEA: Or when they make their tests they’re all in the same area of time. Um-hm. What your degree in? CATHERINE: Liberal arts, and then when I started taking classes down here I only took English classes I think and some history. CHELSEA: Just the interesting ones! CATHERINE: Yea right, something I enjoyed. And that’s another thing, I know you don’t enjoy all your classes: there are favorites and there are not. CHELSEA: It seems like you’re really involved around Geneseo as well, you’re in a lot of clubs and stuff. Yeah I really like the town. What are you involved with? CATHERINE: Well, the senior citizens- I was involved with the Red Cross for a long time but not so much anymore. Did you go to the craft fair this weekend? Well I was kind of missing it ‘cause I was away: it’s a fabulous craft fair, they have really nice crafts and a lot of ‘em. And I have always worked at it, taking money when they come in, and that’s fun because it’s very, very business so they give you the money as fast as you can take it and that was fun. So this year I didn’t and kind of missed it. CHELSEA: Have you ever gone to the craft show in Letchworth? They have it Columbus weekend. CATHERINE: Oh yes! CHELSEA: My mom and I went the one year- that is a craft show! CATHERINE: That is a craft show! Well, the Red Cross isn’t that great because it’s all in that one building. It’s all in this armory here. But the one over in Letchworth- I went one time with my girlfriend and we were stuck in traffic near Brian’s restaurant and we decided not to go. I mean we were there for maybe an hour and a half and we got up to the entrance and said forget it! I don’t know where they were parking them, but it happened to be a really nice day and that’s what happened. So this year I didn’t even try but the crafts are beautiful, absolutely, I think they must have to show what they do- no glue, no glue-gun. Have you ever been? CHELSEA: No I haven’t, but I like going to craft shows at home. CATHERINE: Well this one is like the mother-of-all craft fairs: ‘cause they have photography and quilts and paintings and flower arrangements- really nice stuff. CHELSEA: So what else are you involved in? CATHERINE: Let’s see, have you ever heard of- I think I told you two a little bit about the Monday evening class. That’s great. And… oh red hats- that’s supposed to be just a fun things and it is. The reason that started is -why I started with the red hats- I was an ombudsman for a nursing home and I don’t know why they ever used that word, it’s just an advocate. You go over and visit them and you’re supposed to record any complaints that the residents have and then you turn in to the Office for Aging. And the state comes and inspects those homes once or twice a year, maybe a few times more but- but anyway, when the state men come down they go to the Office for Aging first, and they read your complaints, like if somebody had been sores and they weren’t being taken care of or they tied ‘em in a chair. They used to do those horrible things, but now they don’t so much. You’re not allowed to strap ’em down in bed but that’s what they used to do… ‘cause they wander at night- it’s really a problem for them too. And the nurses and -or the aides more of than the nurses actually- have a really hard job. I said one time they’re the ones that needed the advocate. But anyway: we quit at the same time, there were about five of us. And we used to go out -we had a meeting once a month- and we used to go out for breakfast afterwards. So this one girl decided she was really gonna miss the breakfasts, so that’s when she suggested that we all join the red hats- and that’s the only time I see those women now. Usually we just go for lunch once a month, and that’s the only time I see them. CATHERINE: What made you come here as a college student? CHELSEA: Well I don’t know, I guess it’s a nice little town and I liked that there’s a main street and at the same time it’s just very beautiful and not in a chaotic place. I liked that the campus was small and that the area was pretty, and [also] the school itself. [. . .] I think it’s nice that Geneseo is a college because I feel like that keeps the small businesses in the area alive. CATHERINE: I think so too. But little stores do have their advantage and Walmart -I’m not a Walmart fan at all- but they pay somebody to stand at the door and greet you- he doesn’t know you from Adam. You walk into one [of the small stores] and they don’t know your name either but- what’s the name of that variety store…I can never remember it down here…I don’t know whether you know it but the fellow that runs Sundance, it’s his wife [in] the department store up the street that has all the really neat little gifts… Oh is it Touch of Grayce? Yes, the Touch of Grayce. You walk in the Touch of Grayce- if you went in there once a month they get so they know you, they don’t know your name but they do know you, they recognize you. And sometimes they know your name, Sundance knows my name- I don’t know any other store that’s like that… I go to that diner to have breakfast there and the waitress knows my name but it’s- you can’t pay someone to do that and that’s what Walmart is doing. I mean he’s doing his job: he’s saying “hello, hello!” [laughs] CHELSEA: It’s just funny that a job like that exists. CATHERINE: Well, that’s why it does exist because Sam -I wonder about Sam Walton because I’ve read stories about him, I wonder what he would think of Walmart really, because that wasn’t his intent I don’t think- he did want that friendly atmosphere and like I say that’s nothing you can buy. It’s gotta be sincere or it doesn’t work. CHELSEA: Yeah that’s why small towns are nice, I like that: I just ordered a CD the other day from a music store on Main St. and they called me. It was nice ‘cause they don’t always call you about… CATHERINE: It is nice! And there’s a florist shop too that the woman is very friendly and she’s got a lot of really super gifts. You go in Walmarts, yeah they have a lot of gifts… I remember last Christmas I went in there- it was overpowering, but there wasn’t one thing there that was really Christmas: it was plastic, red, fake! But I don’t know whether you’ve ever been to that -I think it’s called the Genesee- the flower shop, a young girl runs it. She’s got a lot of nice gifts in there.

So there is a spread of businesses now. KATHERINE: Were people happy with those changes? Was the sentiment generally accepting, or did people resist those changes? STANLEY: I don’t think people resisted it, I can’t think of any. Whether Walmart caused certain business to go under, I don’t know. I have a hunch, but I just can’t tell you. The college has moved. When I first came, there was parking up rather close to the buildings in the back, away from the middle square. Gosh, I think when I first had come one could park in almost every bit that now is lawn. And of course, the building of the gym and the putting in of an indoor pool for swimming, all those are changes that have been rather important for the college.

Consequently, I ended up joining the National Guard when I was 17 at the end of my high school senior year. And I went to officer's candidate school and came out as a second lieutenant and eventually had command of the unit in Geneseo here for five years. KRISTEN: No way!

The armory used to be an old farmhouse in the same location and they just used the rooms for officers and things like that and built a drill hall on the back of it which was a good sized building. Then the new building was a cavalry unit so they had 72 horses there at one time. Right there in the village. And that stable is now used by the present guard unit and what they did was build on the end of that and connect it to the riding hall with the sawdust tarmac in there and they put concrete floor in and it was an armory unit when I was there. And now they're an infantry unit and they've been called up three times since 9/11. KRISTEN: I did not know that! So are you still involved? ROBERT: No, they let go of me after a while. I'm in my 80s now so I can't really do much with it. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Diary of Sheffeild Peabody Description An account of the resource Sheffield Peabody was a farmer who chronicled his life in Springwater, NY between 1849 and 1914. In many ways his life was typical of his peers: he struggled to make a living at a time when American agriculture favored railroads, food processors, and ever-larger farms. His diary allows us to grasp what it was like to be a typical farmer living in Western New York during this time.
