APPLEGREEN CEMETERY GERRY, NY (Chautauqua Hill Road)

ANDRUS, Lydia, wife of Cyrus Andrus and dau. of James & Jane Ward died 26 June 1843 age 27-3-6.

ANDRUS, Lydia J., dau. of Cyrus and Lydia, died 10 Nov. 1852, age 11-4-14.

ANDRUS, Emma J., died 19 Sept. 1861, age 6 months.

Cyrus Andrews was born in Middletown, Rutland County, VT 12 July 1813. At the age of 18

(1831) he settled in the Town of Gerry where he resided over 29 years. He removed to Ellington in 1860 to the farm where he has since lived. In 1841 he

married Lydia Ward who died in 1843. He married second 24 Sept. 1844 Clarissa Thorn who survives. Also surviving is one daughter Mrs. Lemira Andrus

Baldwin and tow sons Hiram and Adelbert." He is buried on lot 142 in the Valley View Cemetery out of Ellington with Adelbert and Hiram and their families and

Clarissa 1824-1914. We suspect Clarissa may be a daughter of John and Mahala Thorne buried in this old cemetery.

We spent a day in Mayville with the 1850 census of Gerry with interesting results. Cyrus Andrus was aged 37, born in Vermont. His wife Clarissa was 24, born

in New York State. There was Lydia 8 and Almira aged 4. Daughter Lydia’s age subtracts to make her birth 26 June 1843 so her mother Lydia Ward Andrus

must have died in childbirth

printed in the Chronicle Journal Thursday, June 20, 1912:

"One of the first to practice law in Franklinville was JOSIAH WARD

who was admitted to practice in 1833 and came here from Chautauqua

County; but little is known of him, how long he practiced here or where

he went from here."
