Patriot Pioneer Founder
He typified in his honorable public service and private enterprise the best pioneer traditions of the Genesee Country.

As a man, his life was of constant integrity and primitive simplicity, winning the affection of a grateful community. He had courage, energy and faith.He gave our city more than a name - the heritage of his inspiring personality.
