For four generations, from 1840 to 1950 Henry's sons, grandsons, a great-grandson, and a great-great granddaughter lived between Conesus and Hemlock, the two westernmost Finger Lakes.
Hemlock was once known as Slab City, which was mercifully changed to something lovelier that celebrated trees. It was a happening little village at the north end of Hemlock Lake, south of Livonia Center. It was regionally famous for its World's Fair.
My father, Charles, was born in this house in Hemlock on June 30, 1917.
