CHESTER DERBY SALISBURY, 10 Feb 1818 - 28 Aug 1897

PICTURE INCLUDED IN THE OBITUARY

   The subject of the above sketch was born in Adam, Jefferson 
county, New York, in 1818; and departed this life at his home near 
Orland, Saturday, Aug. 18, '97, aged 79 years, 6 mos. and 19 days.
   His parents were natives of Vermont, and the father died when 
Chester was only eight years of age.  His educational advantages 
were limited to a few terms in select school.  He was apprenticed to 
learn the tanner and currier's trade and served until 1836, when he 
came to Steuben county.  When he arrived here he was eighteen years 
of age and had only 12 and 1/2 cents in his pocket, but had an 
abundance of pluck and determination, and with the aid of his good 
wife, Julia Collins, whom he married in 1838, succeeded in 
accumulating a good fortune with many of the blessings and comforts 
of this life.
   Funeral services were held Tuesday, Aug. 31, conducted by Rev. J. 
R. Bonney.
