From
a letter written by one his grandchildren: I
found that Stueben County marriage record - nice of someone to put that on line! At
first I thought Avoca must be near Glen Spey, but
it isn’t. The Loucks had a large farm in Avoca, and
Arthur, as part of his agriculture studies at Cornell, worked on the farm and
met daughter Mary. Prior
to Cornell, Arthur was the star quarterback at Ithaca High School, where mom
Susan and the 2 other brothers lived while they were attending Cornell.
Apparently Arthur just barely got into Cornell and was on the football team. Arthur
and Mary were married in the Loucks’ parlor. It is
believed Thomas VI was in attendance and is surprised at his not being a witness. At
one point the Loucks removed a large wing of the
farm house and had it moved into town, and some of the family lived in town. Albert C. Greenhalgh is not on the 1880
Yonkers census as a brother of Susan – we are not sure who he is, but think he
may be someone they called "Uncle Les", who seemed very prosperous. |
