Church record :
If we only had the first Clerk's
book of the Hopewell Pres. Church, that would have
told us more of all these very early pioneer families. I believe that Joel Hart
was
its first Clerk. The Hart family then lived on Sect. 47, the first house west of
the
Jo Birdseye home, south side of road. Then it became the Clinton Watkins farm
and much later the Jason Gates place, now Zimmerman. Capt. John Hart served
in the Revolutionary War.

-------------------------
The Kerskie family were an unusual one coming from Prussia
in 1883, with their children. They were hard working folk, raising their large
family, thou' some had died young. The first I remember of them was one day when
we were coming home from Canandaigua, with a horse and buggy, we caught up with
a young woman and a child along the foot of the lake. We stopped and asked them
to ride. The woman was crying and very frightened. It seemed that she expected
her husband to meet her train, but someway their plans had miscarried and no one
was there. Her husband worked for Henry Pratt, so my mother knew where to take
her.
Later the Kerskies moved to the house south of the old
cemetery, and their daughter Frederika came to stay with us and help my mother.
She was called Fritzie. I remember her as a shy, quiet girl but we all liked
her. She must have been around 14 and her sister Jule was born while Fritzie was
with us. I also knew John quite well and Ernest a very little, but the others I
did not know at all. The oldest dau. Wilhemina, was away and the others were
younger that I.
Then the family moved to the house on the west corner of
the turnpike and the Cem. Rd. There the father and mother both died. The father
took care of the Cem. for many summers as the Clerk's book shows.
