Their quality of work on saddles, harnesses, and collars was known throughout Western New York. In 1891, the sudden death of Colin passed along ownership to his nephew--perhaps the occasion for this advertisement printed during the same year.

In 1889 he first was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison, then renewed for the second Presidency of Grover Cleveland, through 1897. In 1900 Matteson suffered a tragic early death, at age 45, while working as overseer at a quarry in Leroy, NY. A coupling in a mining car broke, sending it back down the track and crushing the unsuspecting man. He was remembered as "a man highly esteemed" in Caledonia.

Title A name given to the resource Wm. Hamilton, Produce Dealer, Office & Elevator Description An account of the resource Number 12 on the Burleigh Map, the location of Hamilton's office alongside the New York Central Railroad suggests the importance of his operation to Caledonia's economy. In addition to his farming interests Hamilton (1832-1912) was a produce dealer, bean processor, and "maltster"--that is, he roasted corn and barley for use in brewing or distilling. Presumably because other farmers relied upon his services, his firm often was consulted for market prices, as shown in this newspaper image. An 1881 profile of him praised this son of a Scottish immigrant for his "most hearty support to all efforts and measures tending to the advancement of the agricultural interests of Western New York." Beginning in 1858 Hamilton, along with D.E. Cameron and James McNab, organized a county agricultural fair until it was suspended due to the Civil War. He later purchased the Smith flouring mill in Honeoye Falls, charted a bank, helped found the Livingston County Historical Society, and served in numerous political offices--including as Presidential elector for Grover Cleveland. His firm "Wm. Hamilton and Son" continues operations today at the same location.

Title A name given to the resource Smith Bros., General Blacksmithing Description An account of the resource Point number 25 on the Burleigh map, the blacksmith shop run by Robert and Duncan Smith first was occupied in 1881, although the family trade dated back decades earlier to their father Duncan (1812-1882)--an immigrant from Inverness, Scotland. Their uncle James Smith (1814-1896) was a blacksmith, as well. During the time of horse-powered transportation their work was crucial to Caledonia; in 1881 the Smith brothers and their cousin James Smith, Jr. received a shipment of forty kegs of horseshoes for their respective shops, about two tons. "It requires a good deal of iron to keep the horses of this cobble stone town in foot wear," wrote the Caledonia "Advertiser" (9 Dec. 1881). A notice of James Sr.'s passing suggests the strenuous nature of the family trade: "For many years he conducted the blacksmithing business here and was widely known for his honesty, industry and great endurance. Few men have worked more hours of a lifetime, or harder, than he" (Caledonia Advertiser 22 Oct. 1896). https://openvalley.org/files/original/91fa17498a9e6bc02305eff31d4a894a.jpg 1dc93fc5d7e40b46e795241ca56e2940 https://openvalley.org/files/original/ae3593dea67ee02ba89094d04b556a7f.jpg c4d5590347a48103eca3bcd587501eed Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The enterprise was started by Thomas Boorman, a Scottish immigrant whose trade of painting and wallpaper led him to open a small store. It grew in size under John Boorman (1867-1927), who seems to have expanded its services, at the time of this map focusing upon wallpapering, painting, custom picture frames, and other home decoration. In later years Boorman was a manager for the Bell telephone company and ran a pharmacy with his brother James. It's quite possible that all of these operations (and more) were parts of a single enterprise--local merchants often wore many hats.

Title A name given to the resource Caledonia 1892 Description An account of the resource This collection of images is based upon <a href="https://openvalley.org/files/original/3ae1204165be3bf753a4d31e568da22a.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an 1892 birds-eye panorama of Caledonia, NY</a> published by Burleigh Litho of Troy, NY. According to John William Reps, Lucien R. Burleigh was responsible—whether as artist or publisher—for some 228 lithographic city views (it is possible, even likely that the Caledonia map was executed by an employee named Christian Fausel). Trained as a civil engineer, economic recession pressed Burleigh into finding other ways of making a living. He began city viewmaking during the 1870s and by the mid-1880s was well established in his profession. His usual practice was to work from an available map, determine the most advantageous viewpoint (for a village like Caledonia, typically 1500 feet above the ground), and making small sketches at the street level. Another important task during a two- or three-week stay was soliciting subscriptions for the panorama: it took perhaps 100 persons, each paying $2.50-3:00 for a map, for the project to break even. <br /><br />The Burleigh map’s legend provides us with a snapshot of Caledonia in 1892, just recovering from a major fire in 1891. It lists railroad stations, churches, the public school, and even Seth Green’s fish hatchery, but a majority of the numbered locations are commercial enterprises—a likely base of customers for purchasing copies of the completed work. Using old newspapers and trade magazines, this collection has gathered advertising from most of the businesses. Its purpose is to populate an interactive map for the “Heraldry” section of the “Clans of Caledonia” exhibit, where we see immigrant affiliations interacting with national and commercial icons—a complex process of so-called “Americanization.” Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Thanks to Tom Tryniski, Fulton History Still Image A static visual representation.

Pullyblank, Livery Description An account of the resource Number 28 on the Burleigh map, just off of Main Street, the stables of Richard Nelson Pullyblank (1863-1951) date to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were the primary alternative to walking. Established in the late 1880s, his livery was praised by the Caledonia "Advertiser" for the quality of his equipment and service: "A specialty is made in supplying carriages for weddings, funerals, receptions, and other entertainments" (17 Jan. 1895). The first image dates to 1904, just before automobiles arrived on the scene; the second from 1916 shows that Pullyblank had been forced to adapt his business towards gasoline-powered farming equipment.
