Seller's Description
1854 Manuscript SWAINSVILLE, NY /APR 19, ms "5" To DANIEL CLARKE, MIDDLETOWN, CT
There is a very, very faint "1852" on the front, which is how I dated the cover
Swainsville, New York Manuscript CDS
Sent to Mr. Daniel Clarke in Middletown, Connecticut
Complete, and with only a tiny tear on the backflap
The Hamlet of Swains evolved as the main business center in the Town of Grove. Farms and factories, as well as feedmills, sawmills, and a general store, were some of the businesses operating in Swains during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Train depots were instrumental in providing transportation for both goods and people to and from the area.
In 1852, the Hamlet was named Swainsville after one of the very first settlers, Mr. Samuel Swain, who started a lumber business soon after his arrival. Many other pioneers followed Mr. Swain and settled in Swainsville. Mr. Adison Seager owned and operated a sawmill that was located east of the Shawmut railroad culvert. He was prominent in political affairs and held many town offices. A second sawmill stood on the bank of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad and was owned and operated by Harry Shaw. Some other businesses of mention were the Old Headache Tavern, the Geibel Hotel, a broom handle and a cradle finger factory.
After the railroad came, business started booming for the pioneers. A large depot and dwelling house was erected where every train would stop to load their engines with wood. The wood was kept dry in a large shed on the west side of the crossing. The wood was hauled to this shed from a wood yard located where the church now stands. A large water tank was located near the crossing that furnished water to these trains as well.

I have scanned ALL or MOST of the enclosure pages (if any) as well as anything
that might help you to decide whether or not to purchase.
I want you to have as much info on the item as possible.
I will let you read the enclosures for yourselves, as I can only go into so much detail.
I will always try to make the scans large enough to read the writing. Thank You!
This item is in FINE Condition.
Due to age, expect some faults. Please view the scans to form your own opinion on condition.
Additional information upon request. Just message me!
Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for your bids!
