FYI Wednesday for Thursday

It's 49 degrees and overcast at 9:00 Wednesday morning.

The TWCNY Weather Forecast:


"Tonight and most of tomorrow will remain dry and quiet but an area of low pressure will bring showers to the area near the end of the day and into the night and this will be part one of whats on the way. 

Cold air will wrap around the back of this system and we will be feeling a big cool down getting into Friday and the weekend and the risk for snow showers will be possible."

FOR THE RECORD

Soon after I posted last Sunday's issue, which included some local history as written in 1886 by Amos O. Osborn, At Home in the Huddle's Facebook page received this note from Delphy Irvin - whose name I had never heard:

"Love this blog. I am related to Amos O. Mayer. My mother was Rosalie Randall Rooks. Wish I was old enough to pay attention to the Mayer house when I lived in Waterville."

To me, this was a huge treat!  I asked a gentleman who had grown up in Waterville if he remembered Delphy, and he said that he did: "She was a very little girl with red hair. Cute as a button!"
- and Lynne Tuttle Matteson remembers being her babysitter!

I think I've got this worked out:

Historian Amos O. Osborn m. Harriet Moss
|
Dau. Esther Osborn m. W. G. Mayer
|
Dau. Ada Mayer m. Dr. E. G. Randall
(Ada's brother was artist A. Osborn Mayer.)
|
Rosalie Randall m. Ralph Edward Rooks
|
Delphy Rooks Irvin
the great-great-grandaughter of Amos. O. Osborn

(I love genealogy!)

Delphy, if you're reading this, please write to me at
