Notes |
-
"The circus animals were housed in barns on Joseph L. Purdy's property,
just to the east of the house. The house is located immediately north of
the present village of Purdys, just east of the highway and railway
station, on the north side of the river. There is a hill behind the
property (the original land area; Purdy's etc. is in the river valley)
extending east to the Titicus Reservoir. Joseph owned at least 1000
acres here. The family now owns about 20 acres, including the house,
which it leases. On the south side of the river is Titicus River road
which turns into Hills Road. It passes to the south of the reservoir,
and at the edge of the road is the Mills Road Cemetery. Only a few
stones are readable; some are Purdy."
The above note is copied in its entirety. Doesn't it make you wonder what
circus animals it is referring to?
