Westbrook and Johnson Family Reunion
The members of the Westbrook and Bartholomew families journeyed to Rochester, Sunday June 29th, where they celebrated their 17th annual reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Gross. It was a most enjoyable occasion as Mr. and Mrs. Gross spared no pains for the comfort of their guests.
Because of intermarriage between the two family, some years ago it was decided to merge the two families into one celebration.
The Westbrook family represent a portion of the descendants of Isaac and Elizabeth Westbrook, who about the year 1810 lived in the town of Canadice and with a large family of children, living in log house and suffering the privations of their days labored constantly with handmade implements to work out a meager living for themselves. At the age of 49 years, Mr. Westbrook passed away leaving his wife as sole protection for a family of eight small children. It has been often stated that her home was often visited by some times several Indians whose sole aim was to get warm and often play a practical joke on his fellow red brother by placing a frosted ax bit to his tongue just to see him howl and try to get loose. However, red visitors were not all bad, for oft time they contributed to the families support by bringing in wild game which was very acceptable. Mrs. Westbrook was about 90 years old when she passed on.
The Bartholomew family date their ancestry to the parents of Aaron, Henry, George, Gilbert, John and Charles Bartholomew, (other members of whom the writer has no knowledge).
Aaron Bartholomew was a young blacksmith living in Milo, when he married Ann Briggs and soon moved into Garlinghouse, where he carried on his trade along with the management of a large farm, portion being owned by Albert Westbrook at the present time. A number of his descendants are now living. Quoting from here say, Mr. Bartholomew acquired title to his farm from agents for the Phelps and Gorham purchase.
Henry Bartholomew, whose descendants are quite numerous today came from Ulster, Pa. His occupation was farming and wood work. Bob sleighs, wagon making and repair work. His greatest pride was making the best ox yoke ever made in these parts. I expect some of his handiwork is still in evidence.
The other members of this family operated in more distant parts and to the writer little is known except that only three descendants of John Bartholomew are still living. Thus members of the two families meet each year to pay their respect to the memory of their ancestral pioneers who did their part to establish a christian civilization for on coming generations and to carry on that spirit of love and friendliness which characterized their ancestors.
Next year the two families will meet with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Johnson in Bath.
