Comments:
I wasn't successful in sending the message below to Elaine Scantlebury at he e-mail address given-
I am looking for obituaries for three members of the Parquet family who lived in Inlet for many years. These are-
1. Myrtle Briggs Parquet (Mrs. Fred Parquet) , born Apr 22, 1884 in Lewis County. died December 1970 in Inlet NY per Social security Death Index.
2. Fred Parquet, born about 1881 in Lewis County, married Myrtle Briggs in Lowville, Lewis County in 1903, relocated to Inlet by 1905 or before. He was a barber , ran the Post Office and became an entrepreneur, as owner of the Parquet Hotel. I don't know when he died . Hopefully Myrtle's obituary will provide that information.
3.Thelma Parquet Kopp Russo, only child of Fred and Myrtle, born in 1908 , in Inlet. Married first Pierce Kopp in 1932. That marriage didn't work out and she next married Louis Russo. I believe she had one daughter by the Russo marriage. Thelma died in Florida Feb 13 , 2000 . I can't find a Florida obit for her and am hoping she had a Hamilton County Obituary. Louis Russo died June 1, 1982, also in Florida.
Myrtle Briggs Parquet was a first cousin of my grandmother. Thanks for anything you can come up with and let me know if I owe you anything. Bill Brothers, Rochester, NY- formerly of Lewis County

Some of my happiest days were waiting for the last week in April so my buddies and I could go fishing up to Indian Lake. We use to rent a camp from a real estate agent, whose's name escapes me now but the camp was called Blueberry Hill. We get there, throw or gear in and head for Big Brook....and Big Brook never let us down, some of the biggest brookies I ever caught and I have fished all over the States. Now the Ceder River gave up some nice Browns, Kings Flow, Landlock Salmon. I use to think if it rained, you could throw your line into the gutter and catch something!I Would love to go back one more time. It was my home for four or five years every April and I miss it.

My great great aunt, Margaretha Herbst, married Wm. Smets. I believe they were marred in the 1840's. I think they later went to Arkansas. If you have anything on either the Herbst family or the Smets family, please let me know. Thanks

Hi,
I've been a visitor to Hamilton Country for the past 34 years and have a camp at Nacodi Campsites, near the top of Indianhead Mountain.
Always interested in hearing more about this beautiful area. Had Bear visit the camp this summer and break 4 windows and a door. He now rests in peace. Be nice if the state would put up some feeding stations, otherwise the campers will be leaving.
Thanks again for this nice web site.

My father owned a summer home on Hamilton Lake Road, Town of Lake Pleasant from 1945-1979; I spent most of my childhood summers there and knew many of the "natives" My mother first came to Speculator in 1926 to take a summer job playing piano at Harry Gallup's theatre in Speculator. It was at that time that she befriended Ann Telfer Dewhirst from Lake Pleasant- they were friends for the rest of their lives. I find your site extremely interesting and would be pleased to furnish any information that would be of value to you. Thank you.

I have been researching Fuller Family for over 20 years and still do not have them all. Found some very pertinent information while visiting your Hamilton County pages. I wonder if Janet Mitchell is still researching Fullers in your area. I tried e-mailing her, but the address is no longer recognised. I have spent a very enjoyable evening browsing thru Hamilton County and will have to come back and do some more. You've done a super job with this site.

Nathan Slack, born in Amsterdam, Montgomery, NY 1807 married Samantha Dunning of Lake Pleasant around 1830. I don't have a date, but their first child was born 1831. Nathan's sister Elizabeth married David Fountain, and his sister Barbara marrled Alden Lowden. Jane Ann Slack, whe wife of Amos Page, may have been Nathan's sister.
