Daniel lived in South Edmeston and Illinois. Of Daniel and Susannah, Judah Gazlay wrote, “Daniel Gazlay was reported to me to be rather indolent, let things go their own way. His wife, Susannah Leavenworth was the reverse. She wore herself out looking after her large family, and went where the weary are at rest long before old age.” Also, he wrote, “they owned most of the East side of North Street in South Edmeston, gave Ralph the lot he build a house on, where I lived 14 years with the rest of the family.”2

The Gazlay History indicates that Daniel’s daughter Ann and her husband Nicholas are buried in Town of Maine Cemetery, Park Ridge, Illinois, lot 35. There are unmarked graves on that lot, and one might be the grave of Daniel Gazlay.2

A sad accident occurred at Edgerton a few days since. A little girl of Mrs. John Gazly was going out the door with her little baby brother in her arms; she stumbled and fell against a boiler of hot water, which had just been removed from the fire, tipping it over and spilling the water scalding the baby so that it died the night following. The girl was scalded some, but nothing serious. Another warning to parents not to set vessels of hot liquids where their children will run into them.

Fourth Generation
12. James L. Sherman4 (Ann,3 Susannah,2 Esther1), born ca. 1847 in Illinois;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 died 7 January 1896.7 James married Lasira ‘Sarah’ Cotten3, 4 (born ca. 1854 in New York, parents not determined3, 4, 5, 6). James is buried in Waucoma Cemetery, Waucoma, Fayette County, Iowa.7

Although proof is lacking, it seems likely that Nicholas and Ann (Gazlay) Sherman are the parents of James Sherman, based on his surname and his prolonged association with the Gazlay family. James was born around 1847 in Illinois, apparently shortly before Nicholas and Ann died, also in Illinois. The 1850 and 1860 U. S. Census records suggest that James was raised in Iowa by his maternal aunt, Cornelia (Gazlay) Baker, both before and after her marriage to John Baker. The 1870 and 1880 U. S. Census records show that after James married, he and his family lived in Iowa next door to his uncle Erasmus Gazlay. James was a carpenter by trade. He relocated his small family across the border to Minnesota around 1888 where they continued to live for several years after.

James died in 1896 and was buried in the same Lot 39 of Waucome Cemetery, Iowa, that his uncle Erasmus was buried.7

14. Judah Hart Gazlay4 (Ralph,3 Susannah,2 Esther1), born 13 February 1842 in South Edmeston, Otsego County, New York;8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 died 7 March 1921 in Hamilton, Madison County, New York.8, 12, 13 Judah married, 30 December 1866, Maria Elizabeth Gustin12, 13 (born 28 December 1847 in Columbus, Chenango County, New York, the daughter of John Levi Gustin and Mary Ann Fenton;11, 13, 15, 16, 17 Maria died 25 August 1935 in Hamilton, Madison County, New York13, 15, 18). Judah and Maria are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Hamilton, Madison County, New York.15, 8, 12

Judah Hart Gazlay was born in South Edmeston, Feb. 13, 1842. The name was Harriet Hart’s father’s name. Dec. 30th, 1866, he married Maria Elizabeth Gustin. Rev. S. S. Cady officiated. They lived in West Edmeston, Bridgewater, Morris, Deansboro, and Hamilton. He was a cheese maker by profession, and loved horses, especially spirited horses. He judged horse races at fairs. Judah was 5 ft. 9 1/2 in., average weight 165, blue eyes, light brow hair and resembled his mother in looks. Maria Elizabeth was 5 ft. 5 in., average weight 140 lbs., black eyes and brown hair, but the hair turned grey very young. The dark complexion was like Mother Ann Fenton Gustin. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gazlay observed their Golden Wedding in 1916. The following is the newspaper account:

On Monday last at the home of their son, D. H. Gazlay on Payne Street was celebrated the Fiftieth Anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gazlay of this village. At one o’clock a dinner was served to the members of the family and in the afternoon a number of friends called to extend greetings to the bride and groom of fifty years. J. H. Gazlay and Maria Gustin were married at Columbus, N.Y. on Monday Dec 31, 1866, and for the past twenty five years have lived in Hamilton.

Five children were born to them. Four of whom are living, and with their families were present on Monday: Dorr H. Gazlay and Arthur Gazlay of Hamilton, S. Howard Gazlay of Syracuse, and Mrs. Grace Shurger of Karlville, N. Y. There are also four grand children, three of whom attended the Golden Wedding.

The house was prettily decorated for the occasion. Evergreen with yellow roses, tinsel, etc., were used. From the center of the table in the dining room was suspended a large golden bell, and from the center of the bell to the corners of the table were streamers of yellow. In the center of the table was a wedding cake with fifty candles. Mr. and Mrs. Gazlay received many gifts appropriate to the occasion, among them being a crate of golden fruit from an orange grove of Mrs. Gazlay’s sister in Florida.

In answer to the question, “Anything you wish to say about yourself?” Judah wrote, “I leave that for others, as the world looks at it - my life has been a failure.” Question, “Which of your children are like you and in what way?” Judah wrote, “Only Arthur, in looks and muscular development, also in the mastery of elocution and the skill in management of horses.”

Judah H. Gazlay was High Priest of Hillington Chapter of Masons No. 224 at Morris, N. Y. 1876-1877-1878-1879.

Margaret Howe wrote, “My memories of Grandfather Gazlay (Judah) are that he was a very distinguished looking man, I especially remember the beard. He was very fond of children, especially my sister Mary. I believe it was more than coincidental that he was holding Mary in the Golden Wedding Picture.”13

Judah’s obituary provides additional details of his life:12

J. H. GAZLAY PASSES ON

Well Known Cheesemaker Victim of Pneumonia

J. H. Gazlay died at his home in the Gazlay block last Monday evening, March 7, aged 79 years. Mr. Gazlay had been ill for only a week with pleuro pneumonia. Mr. Gazlay was born in Edmeston. For nearly fifty years, he made his home in the Unadilla Valley. Being a cheesemaker by trade he soon established a name for the products of his creamery. At one time he had charge of nearly all the creameries in the valley. He was married to Maria E. Gustin of Columbus in 1866. In 1891 Mr. and Mrs. Gazlay moved to Hamilton, where he has been a citizen for 30 years. Mr. Gazlay was a well preserved man and did not show the usual weight of age. He was active, always doing something. His step was quick and his mind alert. He was well known to all, both young and old, and was liked by everyone. He was a member of Hamilton Lodge, F. & A. M., the Cyrus Chapter, and the Royal Arch Masons. After thirty years of citizenship in Hamilton the best estimate that can be placed upon him is: He was an honorable, upright citizen. He is survived by his wife, three sons, Dorr H., Arthur J., and S. Howard; one daughter, Mrs. Grace Shurger, all of Hamilton; and by one sister, Mrs. Esther Parker of New Berlin. Funeral services were held from his late home Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Frank D. Elmer of the Baptist church. Burial was made in Woodlawn cemetery.

Margaret Howe wrote, “As I remember Grandma Gazlay, she was in her eighties, she loved to read, especially the Christian Herald, which my father, Arthur faithfully reads to this day. Grandma loved to play checkers and dominoes. She knit mittens for all the grand children, even a pair for me when I was in college. She could recite cute sayings of poetry to fit any occasion. Her daughter Grace inherited, and surpasses her, in the ability.”13

At Clinton, N. Y., August 17, 1916, he married Edith Blair. Her parents were Milford Burdett Blair and Flora Munger Gruman Blair. Edith Blair was born July 29, 1890, in Clinton, N. Y. Howard was 23 and Edith 26 at the time of their marriage. The following is a description of their wedding:

Surrounded by the immediate relatives of the contracting parties Miss Edith Blair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milford Blair of Clinton, N. Y. became the bride of Silas Howard Gazlay in one of the season’s prettiest weddings, at the home of the bride’s parents at high noon last Thursday. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Frank N. Churchill, pastor of the Methodist Church, the Methodist ring service being used.

The bride is a charming young woman who was born in Clinton and has always resided there. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milford B. Blair and has a host of friends in the social and business circles, having served efficiently as chief operator at the local telephone exchange, and as a clerk in the Utica office. She received a large and choice collection of beautiful and useful gifts in a number of prenuptial showers which were given her during the past few weeks. The groom is a popular young man, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gazlay of Hamilton. He holds a responsible position in Syracuse. After a brief wedding trip they will make their home at 823 Westcott St., Syracuse.

They lived one year in Syracuse and then moved to Hamilton. They have three children. Howard is very active in the Masonic Order, and an ardent stamp collector.16
