    Buffalo Evening News November 9 1905

    One of my long time clients dropped me off a surprised today. He said these were sitting in his house for years. Plus some Buffalo Sunday Times from 1925.

    My grandfather was 2 months old when this was printed.

    Not in great condition but still very readable. I'll have to be very careful with these

    I don't really know. Looks more like it blacken over age...Or if it is burnt it was not directly on fire but close enough to be charred.

    I took more photos. I'm going to upload them after work. Some interesting stuff.

    Democrats were pretty bad is 1905

    My grandfather was only 2 months old. He was born Sept 5th 1905. His family was in Retsof, New York. I can't remember what year his father purchased the property at 1194 Lovejoy. That would be the year they moved to Buffalo. Had to be before 1910's because he graduated from an auto mechanic school on Harlem near William. When I go home I'll look to see the year on the diploma.

    His father worked at the Retsof Salt Mine before buying property on Lovejoy opening up a bar. I'm pretty sure my great grandfather died about 1933 in the upper front bedroom and my great uncle his brother died on the floor in the lower back apartment. Don't know the year.

    My grandfather never shut up talking about the past. He would be a dusty 111 years old this year if he was still alive. He would tell me how his father would take him into the mine to feed the mules. For the most part the mules never came out of the mine.

    I took some photos of the articles in the paper. Wait till you see one. Talk about not being politically correct.

    This is from the City deeds section of the Buffalo Courier Wednesday, January 11, 1922

    I was wondering about the election because my dad's cousin had told me my great grandfather was elected Clarence assessor from 1905 -1909 but she had only had scanned this from 1907 -


    So, I was wondering if there was anything for the Town of Clarence in there.

    Check this out. Gorja sent this over




    That is my grand parents and great aunt/uncle.

    I emailed my mom earlier to ask her if she remember this

    Yes gram always repeated that story, when I first met dad, I think I went there once with them and dad, it was just a small grocery store........... uncle Mike had a German Sheppard there that did nothing.......and uncle Mike gram said had a gun but was too shaky to do anything......how did you find that, gram went there for her groceries since aunt Rondy was her sister...I miss gram and dad so much......
    My grandfather used to drag me around all over Buffalo pointing stuff out.

    I'm gooing to see what google maps shows for those addressses

    I'm pretty sure this is the house. I just have really vague memories going over there.

    Whirled around shafting.

    Poor David Miller. 25 years old in 1905. He would be 136 years old now. I see he lived on Gold Street. That is off of Lovejoy
