"Recently I was in Elmira and photographed several tombstones in SS Peter and
Paul's Cemetery. I uploaded them to a web site and am happy to share with
anyone interested. My interest is Irish Catholics and I haven't photographed
German, Polish, Italian surnames. If you are interested email me at
Rsvossoughi@sbcglobal.net and I will give you access to the photos.
We are four cousins who have spent a delicious but frustrating 20 years
trying to untangle the folks from Liscannor Parish County Clare who settled in
the Chemung Co. area. Some of our surnames: GUTHRIE, O'LAUGHLIN, FINN,
READY/REIDY, DONAHUE, MCINERNEY, LIDDY, LOONEY, CUSICK, MANTELL, TIERNEY,
CULLINEY, ESPEY, CADIGAN, KELLY, HOLLERAN, O'HARA, MCGRATH, BLAKE, BOLTON,
BEHAN, CHERRY, O'LEARY, LEYDON, MADIGAN, MCCARTHY, MALONEY, MCDONOUGH, NAGLE,
RYAN and many more."

Elmira Schools |
Letter to Editor in Star Gazette May 30, 2006
Fassett name has stronger local tie than Washington.
The Elmira School District is considering changing the name of
Fassett School to Washington School to reflect the move of the latter school's
staff and pupils next year.
Such a name change will represent another instance of Elmira turning its back
on history. J Sloat Fassett, for whom Fassett School is named, is a prominent
figure from Elmira's Golden Age. During his life (1853-1924) he served as
Chemung County District Attorney, representing the area in the state Senate from
1884-1891, ran unsuccessfully for government on 1891, was a delegate to three
Republican National Conventions and served in the House of Representatives from
1905-1911. He and his wife, Jennie Crocker Fassett (of a prominent San Francisco
family) traveled to Korea in 1912 and were among the first westerners to visit
the Royal Court.
The one time publisher of the Elmira Advertiser newspaper, Fassett made his
fortune in the banking, lumbering and mining businesses. To use the current
phrase, Fassett the philanthropist "gave back to his commmunity" in many
ways-aiding Elmira College, the First Baptist Church, public playgrounds and
social agencies.
There are countless schools across the country named for George Washington,
but only one for J Sloat Fassett. I urge the Elmira School District to keep it
that way. Rather than change the name, perhaps district officials could find a
way to squeeze a local history course in the current cirriculum for students-and
themselves.
