Beetles Ravage Area Vineyards

Wcstf ield Woman Loses Year's Crop; DDT Urged as Control Measure The gv&ve steely beetle, which periodically attacks

grape buds, has stripped at least one Chautauqua County vineyard and has hit 25 or 30 others, according to T. D. Jordan, assistant agricultural agent. Mrs. Charles Wilson, Creamery Road, Westfield, has sustained a complete loss of the crop from her 20 acres of vineyards for this year, and the attack will seriously cut next year's crop in the vineyard, Mr. Jordan said.

Most of the damage was in vine-* -yards along the hillsides of the I . - . . ammrentlv winters on "ridge" along Route 20. T h e L S « 2 2 o ? ?

riculturalists, The property today includes 113

acres, and although the present members of the family are not farmers, the land has continued to be used for agricultural purposes, principally by renting to farmers in the area.

The present house was built by Jotham Bemus, grandson of the pioneer, for accommodation of summer boarders in the hey day of the 1 a k e steamers. Known as Revenwood, it has 12 rooms and once sported porches on both first and second floors.

The last full-time farmer was James H. Bemus, Jotham*s son, who operated a dairy farm and built the gray barn now on the property. However, his son, Howard, who worked with his father, died about 1935, and the new Route 17, built about 1938, bisected the farm lands. The stock and machinery were sold at auction, and since then the land has been rented.

The property now is occupied by Mrs. William J. Bemus and her three younger children. Her oldest son, William, teaches agriculture at Quakerstown, Pa., and says he would like to farm the land again although this pro-pect is rated unlikely.

Another son, George, who lives in another house on the property, and operates an agency for folding doors, carries on the only present agricultural enterprise, using the barn to raise about 200

j broilers at a time. William Bemus Pioneer

The pioneer member of the family was William Bemus, son of Jotham, Sr.. and Tryphena Moore Bemus. He was horn, at Bemus Heights. Saratoga County, Feb. 25, 1762, and married Mary Prendergast, member of another pioneer family in this county, Jan. 27. 1782.

They settled in Pittstown, Rensselaer County, and all of their seven children were born there. However, early in 1805, William sold all his land and moved on, intending to settle in a warmer climate somewhere on the Mississippi River below the mouth of the Ohio.

On June 11, 1805, the Bemus family and the Prendergasts, a party of 25 persons, left Rensselaer County for the South. They traveled through eastern Pennsylvania. West Virginia, then down the Ohio to Louisville, then on to Nashville, Term., where they planned to locate.

However, they found ignorance and ruffianism everywhere, and learned that if they would become respected members of the community they would have to become slaveholders. T h e y packed and left during one night, to keep from being over-

taken and robbed, and travelled north across the Allegheny Mountains to Meadville.

They began to hear glowing reports of the new land of Chautauqua County. They continued to Ripley, then spent the winter in a cabin loaned to them by Arthur Bell near the "Cross Roads," now Westfield.

Bemus, in company with a Dr. Mclntyre, who had an option on the Bemus Point section, made a quick tour of the property, then went to Batavia to get permission to settle at the Narrows. He returned with a crew of men, and built a log house, probably located east of the present highway near the road to» Ellery Center.

first Purchase in 1806 History says he made his first

purchase, two lots, on Jan. 3, 1806, then in July purchased more lots on both sides of the lake, totaling 726 acres, for SL-452. He paid only $16 down. The deeds were given Oct 26, 1810.

He paid off two additional claims to the property, $100 to Dr. Mclntyre and $80 to a Meadville man for what was claimed to be an Indian deed. William Bemus, and his family moved into their new home March 9, 1806, to become the first settlers in the Town of Ellery.

He planted corn, oats and potatoes, keeping the Indian fields for meadows, and the family lived the first year on fish, corn bread and potatoes and occasional venison. That summer he returned east on horseback, and returned with a yoke of oxen and a large iron hand mill for grinding their corn and wheat.

In 1809, he built a sawmill about a mile and a half above the mouth of Bemus Creek, and the following year built a grist mill nearby.

As other settlers began to arrive, he made additions to his home and opened the first tavern in the town. There is a possibility that that place may be the present Walter Shepardson home.

Mr. Shepardson states that when he remodeled his home recently, he found an old baking oven and several large kettles under the kitchen floor. A dance hall on the second floor has been partitioned into bedrooms, and the name Bemus is carved in the stairway in the house.

William Bemus also was a road builder. He gave title to the land for the old highway through Bemus Point, and at his own exrjense he opened the present Ellery Center Road from the point to Bear Lake, in the Town of Stockton, for access to the then important, trading area at Canadaway. -^

Tom's Point Named Meanwhile, Thomas Bemus,

one of William's sons, was given the property across the lake, and Tom's Point was named for him. He started operation of the ferry, authorized June 25, 181L and was the first postmaster of the Bemus Postoffice, established in 1826.

The pioneer, William Bemus, died Jan. 2, 1830, and his wife died July 11, 1845.

Their oldest son, William, became a physician and moved to Meadville, Pa., but the rest of the children received farms. Elizabeth married Capt. John Silsby and moved to Iowa; Try-phenia married John Griffith, son of the town's second pioneer; and Mehitabel married Daniel Hazeltine, Jamestown, and lived to the age of 94.

Charles married Relepha Boyd, and probably remained in his parents' house. His son, John S. Bemus, owned the present Shepardson farm, and John's son, Charles W. Bemus, had the present Bemus- place.

James married Trypha Boyd, and their son, Jotham, retained the present Bemus property. He was a dairy farmer, kept bees and raised trotting horses. However, when he built the present home, he ceased farming.

Jotham and bis wife. Pauline, had one son, James H. Bemus. who started the farm again and was its last fulRime farmer. He sold milk to a cheese factory in Ellery Center, men later sold it in Mayville. He also raised veal, and made butter which he peddled in Jamestown.

James and his wife, the former Minnie Scofield, had four children. Howard married Alma Fahrney. and "remained on the farm until his death. His widow now lives in Waynesboro, Pa. Margaret, Mrs. Rex. Miller, lives in Florida; and Mabel Bemus Haskin lives in Maple Springs.

William J. Bemus, born in 1895, married Bertha Pitts, Jamestown. He worked as an electrical engineer in Pittsburgh until he retired and returned here in 1948. He died Aug. 16, 1951.

Mrs. Bemus purchased the family property from the other heirs June 1, 1952. and lives there. Their chijdren are William, who married Joan Flick, and has one son, John- George, who married Lee Dickel; Robert, Bemus Point, who married Lea Thomson; Betty Lu, a student at Behrend Center. Erie, of Penn State University: and Carol Ann, a student at Bemus Point Central School.

James H. Bemus died June 5, 1941. and his widow, Minnie. died July 28, 1949.

Other state breeders who have won the award include Frank Yaeger, Webster, for the fifth year, and Daniel Grant, Afton, for the fourth year. "" •
