Temperance NILES born in Connecticut
in 1796, daughter of Russell NILES and Irena RUSSELL, died after 1870, probably
in Rutland Township. She married Tiimothy BRACE 12 MAR 1814. She is buried in
the Lawrence Corners Cemetery in Rutland Township. This photo was photographed
in the 1960s by Edward SMITH and stored as a slide. His son, Dave SMITH of
Dryden NY, recently found the boxes of his father's slides and brought them to
me. I projected this on screen and photographed it with a digital camera.
Temperance is the one with the dominant genes in this pair. Those of us who have
lived in the eastern Tioga County area know many people living today who look
very much like their ancestor, Temperance. |
