LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - JULY 9, 2023 by Lynne Belluscio There will be a Municipal Historian’s tent, near the corner of Wolcott Street during the Oatka Festival. Stop by to say “Hello!” (Maybe I can have someone go over and get in line to get me a lemonade). I’ll also have a couple of lawn chairs for folks to just sit and get out of the sun. I will have plenty of the new Barn Quilt Maps and I hope to have a list of all the barn quilts that are not on the map. There are quite a few. Bob Taylor just stopped me the day before yesterday, and told me that he has put his back up on his fence. And there’s several barn quilts down on Bernd Road that I forgot to put on the map and one of my favorites, down on the way to Pavilion, needs to be included. If I have the time, I’ll probably be working on a 2 x 2 version of my barn quilt that was featured recently on John Kucko’s “Destination New York.” I’ll have directions for painting a barn quilt that you can pick up. Several people have asked if I would make copies of the walking tour that appeared in the Pennysaver, so they will be available. I also have a little walking tour of the Festival site that you can pick up. If I have room, I hope to have a table with LeRoy’s Main Street set up. Wolcott Street School students will recognize this project. I just bought a Statue of Liberty while I was in NewYork. (Oh - - I need a Methodist Church if someone wants to donate one. I have everything else). If you have questions about LeRoy’s history, I hope you feel free to ask. It’s what Trish Riggi calls “Stump Lynne Questions.” You can fill out a request for information form and leave it with me and I’ll get back to you. If you have Jell-O questions, stop over at the at the Jell-O Gallery which is open during the Festival, and LeRoy House will be open. I’m also collecting stories about a variety of topics: fishing in the creek; bar hopping; living on Mill Street and Pleasant Street; St. Joseph’s bread recipes; Christmas in LeRoy; Halloween in LeRoy; going to the movies; snow and ice storms; farming – the list is endless. One of the more interesting questions has been, “What do you remember about the Police Department?” This is for an ongoing project about the history of the police department. I like to remind people that my new office is in the former interrogation room. If those walls could talk! I have also decided to display the wall hanging of the Spoonflower map of LeRoy. I have embellished the map with a variety of pins and buttons and jewelry. There are flamingos in the creek, and Dino is there also. I sewed a St. Joseph’s medal on the site of St. Joseph’s Church since it is not on the map. There’s a Ford Model T cufflink onWest Main Street where Henry Ford was arrested for speeding, and a Boy Scout pin on the Statue of Liberty commemorating the dedication of the Statue in 1950. If anyone would like to donate a small pin from the Moose, I would put that on the wall hanging also. There are fire truck pins and a small police car pin at the Village Hall. And of course, there are some string beans. It’s like a giant scavenger hunt looking for all the little pins and buttons. The wall hanging will eventually be displayed at the Village Hall. Here is a ballot that you can use to vote for your nomination for a new historic marker. Ballot: ❏ #1 Keeney Road Cemetery – site of unmarked grave of unknown slave ❏ #2 Gilbert Street – Home of Pioneer Black Pilot, Dorothy Layne McIntyre ❏ #3 Lent Ave - Le Roy Salt well - used by muckraker Ida Tarbell to bring about the dissolution of Standard Oil in 1911 ❏ #4 West Main Street – Home of Calvin Keeney who developed the stringless bean and was a founding partner in the American Seed Growers Association – ASGRO ❏ #5 Woodward Drive – Home of Orator Woodward who bought the trademark Jell-O from Pearl Waite in 1899 for $450 ❏ #6 West Main Street – Home of Pearl and May Waite who trademarked the name Jell-O in 1897 and sold the trademark to the Genesee Pure Food Company for $450 in 1899. ❏ #7 Site of Lapp Insulator Company – Founded by John Lapp in 1916. Lapp introduced a unique design for porcelain insulators used for high tension electrical transmission ❏ Other: ____________________________________ _____________________ See You At the Oatka Festival This cloth wall hanging designed by LeRoy native Jennifer Wambach is part of the Spoonflower collection. It has been embellished by pins and buttons and sequins. The library tree has pieces of bark from the tree, taken after it was cut down. Notice the flamingos and “Dino” in the creek.
