We inadvertently omitted to notice before, the death of Joseph Jackman at Canadice, who died in that town on the 18th of last month at the age of 81 years. He had been a resident of the town for more than seventy years. He was married to Luva B. Wiley of Richmond on the 17th of May 1837, and they commenced life together upon the farm he occupied during the remaining 53 years of his life.

Part of an article written under the heading, "HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF CANADICE CHURCH OBSERVED WITH MUSIC AND SPEAKING SERVICES".

Nine years after Holdren came (1795/6) to Canadice, Gideon and John Walker, and Josiah Jackman, with provisions on their backs, journeyed on foot from Vermont, and built a cabin at the foot of Canadice lake, on the farm now owned by Edward Lindsley. Josiah Jackman was the grandfather of Frank H. Ingraham. They went "east" again for their families and returned early in 1805, making the journey in twenty days by ox team. Their first piece of winter wheat was sown among the stumps and gave a good yield, however, the first corn which was planted near the outlet on mucky ground, was devasted by the chipmunks. The corn crop of the following year was good, and the pumpkins wers called, "one of the wonders of the Genesee country." Orchards were set from seedlings brought from Bristol. Mrs. John Walker and Mrs. Josiah Jackman returned from a visit to Vermont with a cheese sewed underneath the seat of a wagon chair. This cheese was the first import.
