Opposite Edward Carpenter, Stephen Ormsbee settled. He still occupies the place.
East of Ormsbee, Pardon Dailey, one of the earliest settlers, located where Levi Holt now lives. A man by the name of Shed lived where Jarvis Pike now resides. South of him, Jeremiah Ormsbee, a brother of Stephen, settled. His widow now occupies the place.
At the Center, Isreal Carpenter took up a lot where Theron Comes now resides, and built a log house there, with a roof of bark, at an early day. He lived there 3 years and was followed by a man named Cary. The Center was all wilderness then, and the house occupied by Mr. Carpenter was one of the first erected."
