Silcox, Assistant, Is General Manager Syracuse. (A.P.)-j. A . Mc- Connell, Ithaca, general manag- er oi the Cooperative Grange League Federation for the last 15 years, today holds the newly created office of executive vice president. The election of McConnell was announced Friday as the GLF wound up its two-day 32d annual meeting. . C. N. Silcox, Ithaca, was cho- sen to succeed McConnell as general manager. Silcox has been assistant general manager and also has headed the largest GLF operating unit, the mills division, with headquarters in Buffalo. GLF president Frank M. Smith told delegates the execu- tive vice president would work and study in the fields of eco- nimlcs and politics "without be- ing tied up in daily business op- erations." In a speech, McConnell called upon farmer members to take the leadership in opposing nigh taxes, wage and price controls, high farm supports and labor monopoly. He said the four were "bad for the nation, bad for agricul- ture a n d . . . If continued, will certainly socialize the nation in a relatively short time." Coats High McConnell said the coopera- tive's operating costs had been "high as a direct product of government regulations and manipulations, plus more than a decade of inflation resulting from war and wasteful spend- ing." In urging all agricultural peo- ple to fight against "regimenta- tion and socialism." McConnell said there were "four bastions ...now lost to our free enter- ptise system, and the free en- terprise system cannot be maintained unless we recapture them." He listed them as: "1. Taxes at a level so high that they will inevitably social- ize the country. "2. Controls which permit government agencies to set the prices of commodities and wages and eventually throttle free enterprise on the part of the producing people. » "3. Support prices for farm commodities, which amount to forward pricing and inevitably result in market surpluses which brings the government into markets as the chief ownej/ and handler of commodities. "4. And, finally labor monop- oly through industry-wide bar- gaining." McConnell said he was "not against unions—not against free, collective bargaining, but industry wide bargaining is not free bargaining." Directors Elected About 3,000 attended the meeting. Seven directors were re-elect- ed for two-year terms. -Theyj ere: J. Sloat Welles, Elmira; Orrin F. Ross, Lowville; Ralph: L. Culver, Laceyville, Pa.; Henry W. Bibus, Jr., Wrights- town, N.J.; J. D. Afneele, Wil- liamson; Earl B. Clark, North Norwich; and Wallace H. Rich, Hobart. The delegates voted to amend i keeper's hogs got into the the by-laws to increase from $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 the net margins under which payment of patronage refunds are made. The amendment had no effect on payments this year. President Frank M. Smith said in his annual report that because of a heavy tax load it had become apparent that it would be impossible to continue to lay aside the necessary re- serve* in order to build a sound institution." He said GLF had paid $27,- 175* 207 in refunds in the last 16 ye "Your board," he added, "will return to the policy of paying patronage refunds just as woon as economic conditions justify and it is deemed that the financial position ol GL* permits."

The farm now consists of 351 acres, and includes a house, built in 1899; bams and a quantity of timber. It is owned by Sanford DeBell and his wife, the former Fred- erica Cheney, who live In West Main Street, Falconer. The farm operation today is small. Mr. DeBell sold the dairy cows five years ago, but he grows field corn and squash and parsnips for mar- ket. Usually he harvests ap- ples from a productive or- chard, but the early frost ruined - the crop this year. ^Ebenezer Cheney was a des- cendant of John and William Cheney, who came to this country from England In 1635. Ebenezer's family included 23 children. He had served in the Revolutionary War, and other military duty until 1780. In 1785 he married Anna Nelson, and they lived at Wardsboro, Vt., where he built the first sawmill at East Dover. Search for Land A born pioneer, he made several trips into Canada and to the Holland Purchase in New York for better land. In 1806, he and .Nathan Laze LI and Silas Stearns came here by horseback, intending to pro- ceed to the Western Reserve in Ohio, but they were de- tained when a friend persuad- ed them to look over the land along Stillwater Creek which later became the Kent Farm, Town of Bust!. Pleased with the section, Ebenezer Cheney returned to Vermont. by way of Batavia, but later found the lots -he wanted had been taken by others. w In 1810 he came here again, this time accompanied by Wil- liam Sears, who had married Cheney's daughter. He helped Sears clear land and build a frame house at Searsburg, now Kiantone. In 1811, Cheney bought the plot which was to remain for at least 141 years in his fami- ly. The following year, Ebenezer brought his son. Nelson E. Cheney, to the "Town of Po- land. They came in a horse- drawn cart, and brought sev- eral axes made at Mendon, Mass., which cost $2 each. It took a man and boy an entire day to grind one of these axes to an edge. Also' among their equipment were a quan- tity of apple seeds, and a few nails bought at Troy for a shilling . a pound. * Fiooeer Settlement In 1813, Nelson and Lazell built a log cabin at Dry Brook, and the same year Levi, Ebenezer's second son, came here. Ebenezer moved his family the following year into the cabin, which was their home until 1817. The family arrived by hors- es and with two sleighs load- ed with furniture and provi- ions. Boughs were built over the sleighs and canvas over these protected them from storms. # At one tavern where they stopped for the night the inn barn where the sleighs were stored and destroyed the pro- visions. Evenezer was the first of many settlers from Vermont to visit these lands, and he bought much land from the Holland Land Company. He and Nelson spent much time tracing lot lines and survey- ing land, timber and avail- able water power for mill sites. He bought land in the Towns of Carroll, Kiantone and Poland, and in 1817 built a home on the west side of Pine Street, Jamestown, 141 YEARS OF PIONEERING—Although its farm operation has been decreas- ed in recent years, the Cheney r DeBell farm, Route 17 near Dry Brook, has a long history of pioneer activity throughout this section of the county. Mrs. Sanford T)e~ Bell, the former Frederica Cheney, is a great granddaughter of Ebenezer Cheney, founder of the farm. FARM FAMILY PAGE where he and his wife lived. Walked to Vermont On one trip back to Ver- mont, he walked the entire distance because his horses had become lost in the for- est. While they were living in the log cabin, Ebenezer lost $200 on a cotton factory scheme in Jamestown. His oldest son, Nelson, was employed by Daniel Wallace and Gen. Horace Allen to as- sist in locating several roads, including the Warren and Su- gar Grove Roads from James- town to the state line, and from Bust! to Chautauqua Lake. Ebenezer and Nelson in 1817 made the first survey of the Levant-Kennedy Road to the Cattaraugus County line. It was surveyed again in 1819* and was cut through the sum- mer of 1828 by a Mr. Lee and William Vorce, under contract with William Peacock, agent of the Holland Land Compa- ny. The* two Cheneys took a per- sonal interest in the problems of other settlers, entertaining them and spending days help- ing them find favorable lo- cations. In 1820, they built a small house on the left bank of Dry Brook. They planned to build a saw mill there, but sold the privilege to another man. That summer they also made a clearing about 25 rods south, and built a frame house 20 by 30 feet, into which the family moved in 1821. A Year Of Building They built a barn by cutting off two trees at the proper height and distance, and rest- ed the ridge pole on them. This was unusual in barn building, since the building was supported from the top. Also that year they built at saw mill on the west side of Dry Brook, conducting the water about 100 rods along a race built in the bluff. This mill had a capacity of 200,- 000 feet per year. It was shut down in 1862, after it ran for 40 years and had cut 6,000,- 000 feet of pine lumber. Ebenezer Cheney died in Kiantone in 1828, the same year his father died in Massa- chusetts. Nelson E. Cheney married . Hannah Merrill in 1829, and moved Into the farm house on Dry Brook. In 1834 he built a large house on the farm, where they lived for 62 years. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1879. Nelson accumulated much farm and timber land. In * politics, he was a Whig, then became a Republican with organization of that party" in 1856. He was an active sym- pathizer with the anti-slffvery and temperance movements, and was Interested in the lat- est research in astronomy, geology and other sciences. He helped organize the first school in the district In 1834, and gave the lease of land for the school. Land Divided Nelson and Hannah had four children: Maria, who died at 18; Emery; and Nelson and Newell, twins. In 1884, the elder Nelson divided the land * between* Newell and Emery, Emery receiving the timber section and present farm, and Newell getting the cultivated section which included the farm home of his father. Nel- son had previously been giv- en the large farm on Route 17 known! as the Arthur Bush farm. Emery married Amanda Tracy, and they had two chil- dren, Wayne, and Frederica, now Mrs. Sanford DeBell. The elder Nelson Cheney and his son had built the house which stood on the pres- ent farm during the early years. This house burned down in 1898, and Emery and his -family lived In another building on the lot until the present house was built the following year. The barns are those built with the original House. The tenant house just west of -Posfc-Journal Staffoto the farm, still stands. The barn was built in 1920 by Mr. DeBell. Emery had built a saw mill on the south side of the high- way. This mill burned in 1890, but was rebuilt. The Cheney mills became well known, and Mr. DeBell re- lates that in 1890 they fur- nished timber, cut it, sawed, piled and seasoned the lumber and delivered it in James- town by horse-drawn wagon, at $6 per thousand feet for clear hemlock. The elder Nelson died in 1891, at the age of 97, and Emery died in 1923. Operation Curtailed In 1918 the remainder of the farm was .divided between Wayrte and Frederica Cheney, Wayne receiving 139 acres and Mrs. DeBell, 212. Wayne became well known as a lumberman, operating the mill for several years, then he dismantled and sold it. Wayne died in 1945, and the two sections then were re- joined under ownership of Mr. and Mrs. DeBell. The farm where Nelson lived has changed hands several times, and the house is now being remodelled into a restaurant. The present farm of 351 acres includes the farm house, barns and tenant house with a quantity of timber. From the early years, lum- Ing, and the raising of sheep, cattle and crops for their own use kept the pioneers occu- pied. Ttie lumbering opera- tion continued until the late •30s. In later years, this farm has been used for dairy, sheep and potatoes. Modern equip- ment gradually replaced horses. The house was mod- ernized several years ago. 'No descendant lives on the farm today, but Mr. DeBell, who for many years was a salesman for a stove compa- ny, visits the farm each day to carry on the limited farm operation. In 1940, he plant- ed pine . trees in the front section, where the original house stood. The original apple orchard still stands, and spies, king and sweet apples are a regu- lar crop. Another 'orchard, planted, by Mr. DeBell to 1917, yields pippins, spies, dutch- ess, Macintosh and Tallman sweet apples. * - -* Booster Night Program' At Sheridan Sheridan—A Silver Star, for 25 years of Grange member- ship, was presented to Ray.

One company at Great Lakes Naval Station, greatly coveting the Star Flag for a neat barracks, was annoyed by one?, of their mates' untidiness. After losing the flag through his carelessness, he was un- ceremonioulsy dumped into a shower, full seabag and all, and well soaked. The Star Flag was claimed thereafter for five consecutive weeks.

No. 87 in a Series J. A. McConnell GLF Executive Vice President

First to Hold Post; C N. Silcox, Assistant, Is General Manager

Syracuse. ( A . P . ) - j . A . Mc­Connell, Ithaca, general manag­er oi the Cooperative Grange League Federation for the last 15 years, today holds the newly created office of executive vice president.

The election of McConnell was announced Friday as the GLF wound up its two-day 32d annual meeting. .

C. N. Silcox, Ithaca, was cho­sen to succeed McConnell as general manager. Silcox has been assistant general manager and also has headed the largest GLF operating unit, the mills division, with headquarters in Buffalo.

GLF president Frank M. Smith told delegates the execu­tive vice president would work and study in the fields of eco-nimlcs and politics "without be­ing tied up in daily business op­erations."

In a speech, McConnell called upon farmer members to take the leadership in opposing nigh taxes, wage and price controls, high farm supports and labor monopoly.

He said the four were "bad for the nation, bad for agricul­ture and. . . If continued, will certainly socialize the nation in a relatively short time."

Coats High McConnell said the coopera­

tive's operating costs had been "high as a direct product of government regulations a n d manipulations, plus more than a decade of inflation resulting from war and wasteful spend­ing."

In urging all agricultural peo­ple to fight against "regimenta­tion and socialism." McConnell said there were "four bastions . . .now lost to our free enter-ptise system, and the free en­terprise system cannot be maintained unless we recapture them." He listed them as:

"1. Taxes at a level so high that they will inevitably social­ize the country.

"2. Controls which p e r m i t government agencies to set the prices of commodities and wages and eventually throttle free enterprise on the part of the producing people. »

"3. Support prices for farm commodities, which amount to forward pricing and inevitably result in market surpluses which brings the government into markets as the chief ownej/ and handler of commodities.

"4. And, finally labor monop­oly through industry-wide bar­gaining."

McConnell said he was "not against unions—not a g a i n s t free, collective bargaining, but industry wide bargaining is not free bargaining."

Directors Elected About 3,000 attended the

meeting. Seven directors were re-elect­

ed for two-year terms. -Theyj ere: J. Sloat Welles, Elmira; Orrin F. Ross, Lowville; Ralph: L. Culver, Laceyville, Pa.; Henry W. Bibus, Jr., Wrights-town, N.J.; J. D. Afneele, Wil­liamson; Earl B. Clark, North Norwich; and Wallace H. Rich, Hobart.

The delegates voted to amend i keeper's hogs got into the the by-laws to increase from $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 the net margins under which payment of patronage refunds are made. The amendment had no effect on payments this year.

President Frank M. Smith said in his annual report that because of a heavy tax load it had become apparent that it would be impossible to continue to lay aside the necessary re­serve* in order to build a sound institution."

He said GLF had paid $27,-175* 207 in refunds in the last 16 ye"Your board," he added, "will return to the policy of paying patronage refunds just as woon as economic conditions justify and it is deemed that the financial position ol GL* permits."

A history oi leadership throughout southeastern Chau­tauqua County stands behind the Cheney-DeBell farm to Route 17 at Dry Brook, which has been in the Cheney fami­ly since Ebenezer Cheney bought 830 acres of land in 1811.

The farm now consists of 351 acres, and includes a house, built in 1899; bams and a quantity of timber. It is owned by Sanford DeBell and his wife, the former Fred-erica Cheney, who live In West Main Street, Falconer.

The farm operation today is small. Mr. DeBell sold the dairy cows five years ago, but he grows field corn and squash and parsnips for mar­ket. Usually he harvests ap­ples from a productive or­chard, but the early frost ruined - the crop this year. ^Ebenezer Cheney was a des­

cendant of John and William Cheney, who came to this country from England In 1635. Ebenezer's family included 23 children. He had served in the Revolutionary War, and other military duty until 1780. In 1785 he married Anna Nelson, and they lived at Wardsboro, Vt., where he built the first sawmill at East Dover.

Search for Land A born pioneer, he made

several trips into Canada and to the Holland Purchase in New York for better land. In 1806, he and .Nathan Laze LI and Silas Stearns came here by horseback, intending to pro­ceed to the Western Reserve in Ohio, but they were de­tained when a friend persuad­ed them to look over the land along Stillwater Creek which later became the Kent Farm, Town of Bust!.

Pleased with the section, Ebenezer Cheney returned to Vermont. by way of Batavia, but later found the lots -he wanted had been taken by others. w

In 1810 he came here again, this time accompanied by Wil­liam Sears, who had married Cheney's daughter. He helped Sears clear land and build a frame house at Searsburg, now Kiantone.

In 1811, Cheney bought the plot which was to remain for at least 141 years in his fami­ly.

The following year, Ebenezer brought his son. Nelson E. Cheney, to the "Town of Po­land. They came in a horse-drawn cart, and brought sev­eral axes made at Mendon, Mass., which cost $2 each. It took a man and boy an entire day to grind one of these axes to an edge. Also' among their equipment were a quan­tity of apple seeds, and a few nails bought at Troy for a shilling . a pound. *

Fiooeer Settlement In 1813, Nelson and Lazell

built a log cabin at Dry Brook, and the same year Levi, Ebenezer's second son, came here. Ebenezer moved his family the following year into the cabin, which was their home until 1817.

The family arrived by hors­es and with two sleighs load­ed with furniture and provi-ions. Boughs were built over the sleighs and canvas over these protected them from storms. #

At one tavern where they stopped for the night the inn

barn where the sleighs were stored and destroyed the pro­visions.

Evenezer was the first of many settlers from Vermont to visit these lands, and he bought much land from the Holland Land Company. He and Nelson spent much time tracing lot lines and survey­ing land, timber and avail­able water power for mill sites.

He bought land in the Towns of Carroll, Kiantone and Poland, and in 1817 built a home on the west side of Pine S t r e e t , Jamestown,

141 YEARS OF PIONEERING—Although its farm operation has been decreas­ed in recent years, the CheneyrDeBell farm, Route 17 near Dry Brook, has a long history of pioneer activity throughout th i s section of the county. Mrs. Sanford T)e~ Bell, the former Frederica Cheney, is a great granddaughter of Ebenezer Cheney, founder of the farm.

FARM FAMILY PAGE where he and his wife lived.

Walked to Vermont On one trip back to Ver­

mont, he walked the entire distance because his horses had become lost in the for­est. While they were living in the log cabin, Ebenezer lost $200 on a cotton factory scheme in Jamestown.

His oldest son, Nelson, was employed by Daniel Wallace and Gen. Horace Allen to as­sist in locating several roads, including the Warren and Su­gar Grove Roads from James­town to the state line, and from Bust! to Chautauqua Lake.

Ebenezer and Nelson in 1817 made the first survey of the Levant-Kennedy Road to the Cattaraugus County line. It was surveyed again in 1819* and was cut through the sum­mer of 1828 by a Mr. Lee and William Vorce, under contract with William Peacock, agent of the Holland Land Compa­ny.

The* two Cheneys took a per­sonal interest in the problems of other settlers, entertaining them and spending days help­ing them find favorable lo­cations.

In 1820, they built a small house on the left bank of Dry Brook. They planned to build a saw mill there, but sold the privilege to another man. That summer they also made a clearing about 25 rods south, and built a frame house 20 by 30 feet, into which the family moved in 1821.

A Year Of Building They built a barn by cutting

off two trees at the proper height and distance, and rest­ed the ridge pole on them. This was unusual in barn building, since the building was supported from the top.

Also that year they built at saw mill on the west side of Dry Brook, conducting the water about 100 rods along a race built in the bluff. This mill had a capacity of 200,-000 feet per year. It was shut down in 1862, after it ran for

40 years and had cut 6,000,-000 feet of pine lumber.

Ebenezer Cheney died in Kiantone in 1828, the same year his father died in Massa­chusetts.

Nelson E. Cheney married . Hannah Merrill in 1829, and

moved Into the farm house on Dry Brook. In 1834 he built a large house on the farm, where they lived for 62 years. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1879.

Nelson accumulated much farm and timber land. In

* politics, he was a Whig, then became a Republican with organization of that party" in 1856. He was an active sym­pathizer with the anti-slffvery and temperance movements, and was Interested in the lat­est research in astronomy, geology and other sciences. He helped organize the first school in the district In 1834, and gave the lease of land for the school.

Land Divided Nelson and Hannah had four

children: Maria, who died at 18; Emery; and Nelson and Newell, twins. In 1884, the elder Nelson divided the land

* between* Newell and Emery, Emery receiving the timber section and present farm, and Newell getting the cultivated section which included the farm home of his father. Nel­son had previously been giv­en the large farm on Route 17 known! as the Arthur Bush farm.

Emery married Amanda Tracy, and they had two chil­dren, Wayne, and Frederica, now Mrs. Sanford DeBell.

The elder Nelson Cheney and his son had built the house which stood on the pres­ent farm during the early years. This house burned down in 1898, and Emery and his -family lived In another building on the lot until the present house was built the following year.

The barns are those built with the original House. The tenant house just west of

-Posfc-Journal Staffoto

the farm, still stands. The barn was built in 1920 by Mr. DeBell.

Emery had built a saw mill on the south side of the high­way. This mill burned in 1890, but was rebuilt. The Cheney mills became well known, and Mr. DeBell re­lates that in 1890 they fur­nished timber, cut it, sawed, piled and seasoned the lumber and delivered it in James­town by horse-drawn wagon, at $6 per thousand feet for clear hemlock.

The elder Nelson died in 1891, at the age of 97, and Emery died in 1923.

Operation Curtailed In 1918 the remainder of the

farm was .divided between Wayrte and Frederica Cheney, Wayne receiving 139 acres and Mrs. DeBell, 212. Wayne became well known as a lumberman, operating the mill for several years, then he dismantled and sold it.

Wayne died in 1945, and the two sections then were re­joined under ownership of Mr. and Mrs. DeBell. The farm where Nelson lived h a s changed hands several times, and the house is now being remodelled into a restaurant.

The present farm of 351 acres includes the farm house, barns and tenant house with a quantity of timber.

From the early years, lum-Ing, and the raising of sheep, cattle and crops for their own use kept the pioneers occu­pied. Ttie lumbering opera­tion continued until the late •30s.

In later years, this farm has been used for dairy, sheep and potatoes. Modern equip­ment gradually replaced horses. The house was mod­ernized several years ago.

'No descendant lives on the farm today, but Mr. DeBell, who for many years was a salesman for a stove compa­ny, visits the farm each day to carry on the limited farm operation. In 1940, he plant­ed pine . trees in the front section, where the original house stood.

The original apple orchard still stands, and spies, king and sweet apples are a regu­lar crop. Another 'orchard, planted, by Mr. DeBell to 1917, yields pippins, spies, dutch-ess, Macintosh and Tallman sweet apples.

the continual association with any and all types of personali­ties may cause wretchedness at first. But soon the new re­cruit learns to "take it" and "dish it out" and, griping be­ing the common denominator, he can relieve his feelings con­stantly. Also, justice prevails.

One company at Great Lakes Naval Station, greatly coveting the Star Flag for a neat barracks, was annoyed by one?, of their mates' untidiness. After losing the flag through his carelessness, he was un-ceremonioulsy dumped into a shower, full seabag and all, and well soaked. The Star Flag was claimed thereafter for five consecutive weeks.

I have close association with scores of servicemen and, hav­ing sailor sons, the boys in blue are dear to my heart. They write, send camp and ship newsletters, ' souvenirs from far-flung ports and above all, come to see me when on leave.

I love them, listen to them, encourage them. You may be­lieve me that they are con­tent. Gripes* Yes, but they love the life. Within the past six months, four of "my boys' re-enjisted. One really sur­prise** me by doing so.
