| 65 | AGED COPPER MAGNATE DEAD Millionaire Meyer Guggenheim, Who Went to Palm Beach, Fla., for a Rest, a Victim of Pleurisy. Meyer Guggenheim, the aged financier and copper magnate, died at Palm Beach, Fla., early this morning. Mr. Guggenheim went South only four weeks ago in perfect health for a month’s rest. He was attacked with pleurisy last Sunday. In spite of the efforts of several physicians pneumonia developed and Mr. Guggenheim sank rapidly, until the end came at 2:30 o’clock to-day. As head of the firm of M. Guggenheim’s Sons, Mr. Guggenheim was one of the best known copper men in the world. He was seventy-eight years old, but still took an active interest in business. Born a poor boy at Langnau, Switzerland, on Feb. 1, 1828, he learned a trade in his boyhood days and as a journeyman travelled through Europe. He came to this country in 1848. On the way over he met Miss Barbara Myers, whom he afterward married. His father and Miss Myer’s mother met at the same time, and they, too, were married. Mr. Guggenheim became a vender upon his arrival in this country, but he soon tired of that modest enterprise and started a stove polish manufactory in Philadelphia. The business was successful from the beginning. A few years later Mr. Guggenheim became interested in a mining venture in Leadville out of which developed millions of profits. In 1890 he built an enormous ore smelter at Pueblo and sent his sons to attend to the business. About five years ago he purchased all the available mining properties in Mexico, and the deal astounded the business world. Mr. Guggenheim was greatly interested in hospitals. He have $200,000 to Mount Sinai Hospital in the city. source: “AGED COPPER MAGNATE DEAD.” New York, NY: The Evening World, 16 Mar 1905, p. 13. | Guggenheim, Meyer (I6)

| 76 | ARRANGE FOR FUNERAL OF MR. H. L. GARRISON The funeral of Hyatt L. Garrison will be held from his late home, 3 Willow place, to-morrow afternoon, beginning at 3:30 o’clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. William P. Bruce, pastor of the Park Hill Reformed Church, to which Mr. Garrison belonged. The Rev. F. W. Cutler, pastor of the First Reformed Church, of which Mr. Garrison was formerly a member, will assist Mr. Bruce. The remains will be interred in the family plot in Oakland cemetery. According to the present plans the services will be simple and there will be no pall bearers. Among the mourners will be the members of the City Council and board of assessors, who are going to attend in a body, in view of Mr. Garrison having been actively and intimately identified with both boards. Other city officials, too, are expected to be present; also, the Exempt Firemen’s Association in whose ranks the deceased occupied a prominent position. The scores of men employed along the river front who became acquainted with Mr. Garrison during the years he was engaged in the business of carrying passengers and freight to and from New York were among the saddest persons in town, yesterday, over Mr. Garrison’s death. It was recalled last night that Mr. Garrison was one of the most interested men in the audience at the Herald Annexation debate in the Armory, last Saturday night. He had a seat in the first row, arriving there before 7 o’clock. When one of the debaters argued that the sentiment of the aged residents against progress of any kind should not be permitted to stand in the way of annexation Mr. Garrison gazed intently upon the speaker and plainly showed that he for one did not agree with him. Business brought Mr. Garrison into the Surrogate’s Court last Wednesday, and, as he stood before the court, talking in a clear voice Surrogate Millard said: “You, certainly, are a man of wonderful vitality for one of your years.” At a special meeting of the Board of Fire Underwriters of the City of Yonkers, the following resolution was adopted: Hyatt L. Garrison, the oldest member of our Board, both in years and in length of service in the insurance business, has been suddenly taken from our midst. It is fitting that this Board should record its sorrow at his taking away and in appreciation of him both as a man and a business associate. No member of the board attained a higher standard of business ethics, or felt a greater responsibility to his clients and the public, or acted more justly to his associates. His memory will long remain with us as an example of business integrity and fidelity to duty. It is fitting that a recorded of our appreciation of this sterling character should have its place in our deliberations, and it is therefore directed that this minute be placed upon our records and a copy of it sent to the family of our late associate and to the Press.

On Sept. 19, 1701, he bought from Peter van Oblienis, a tract of land at Sherman’s Creek, laid out to Oblienis in 1691, as lot No. 20. This became the well-known Kortright farm, which continued in the family till 1786. It was originally ten morgen, or twenty acres, and is so rated on the town books for the next half century; but this was exclusive (for meadows were never taxed) of the adjoining marsh, or the morasse creupelbos, of the original description. And, then, be it remembered, the allotments of 1691 generally overran the estimate, and this lot lying isolated was not likely to be an exception. This brought it up to 45 acres, 27 perches. Here Bastiaen Michielsen built and lived till very aged; at least, his name in the tax lists runs down to 1753. He also owned two pieces of meadow at Kingsbridge, bought of the town by Joh. Vermilye, Apl. 1, 1693, and on the same date transferred to Bastiaen, to whom the town gave a deed Jan. 4, 1700. Bastiaen Michielsen Kortright had issue, as far as appears, Michael, b. 1697; Johannes, b. 1702; Aefie, who m. John Devoor; and Rachel, who m. Isaac Delamontagne. Johannes Bastiaens, as he is properly styled in certain deeds, but calling himself (after his fa.’s patronymic) “Johannes Michelson Kortright,” m. Aeltie, dr. of John Vermilye, 2d. He was a weaver, but succeeded to the farm at Sherman’s Creek, which, in a mortgage given January 9, 1768, he describes as No. 20, and 10 morgen, and by the original boundaries of 1691. Within a year after, he removed to New York, and having lost his wife, appears to have died about 1775. His son, John Courtright, as he wrote his name, married in 1774, his cousin, Aefie, or Effie, daughter of John Devoor, of Hoorn’s Hook, and was last of the family to own the ancestral farm, of which he made sale, May 24, 1786, to Cornelius Harsen, who conveyed it, January 3, 1804, to Jacobus Dyckman, whence it came to his son, the late Isaac Dyckman. It was included in the tract of 128 acres (being part of said Isaac’s estate) called the Fort George Tract, which was parceled into lots, and disposed of by public sale, October 14, 1868. source: Riker, James.

| 81 | Benjamin Corsa, son of Jacob Corsen, was born before 1700, and the family tradition says he was named in honor of Governor Benjamin Fletcher, whose jurisdiction began with the year 1692. He probably resided about the time of his majority at Fordham, which was then under the jurisdiction of New York. He married, April 17, 1718, in New York, Jannetje Reyers, daughter of Reyer Michaelson Reyers. In the records she is described as a young woman from the Manor of Fordham and he is called a young man from New York. His will, made October 1, 1770, is on record in Westchester county, and he died before December 22, of the same year, when the will was proved. It disposed of lands now occupied by Fordham University and the homestead mansion is still standing on the grounds of the University and used as an infirmary. Southern boulevard now crosses the old graveyard in which many of the Corsa family are buried. The will mentions sons Tunis, John, then deceased, and Isaac, and daughter Jane Lent. Isaac was made executor of the will. source: Bergen, Tunis Garret, ed.

NOW THEREFORE, I have issued this my proclamation, hereby offering a reward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to any person or persons who shall apprehend and deliver the said John Ryer to the keeper of the common gaol of the said county, so that he may be brought to justice.

| 93 | CORNELIUS RYER IS MISSING FROM HOME. Cornelius Ryer, the youngest son of Mr. John G. Ryer, of 252 Nepperhan avenue, has been missing from his home, since September 3, 1903. When his father and sister, left him in the morning for their work, he was in his usual frame of mind and showed no signs of a desire to go away. When they returned at noon he was not home, and as he sometimes went out into the woods with his companions, it was thought he was there then. He has not been seen since. The last place, he was known to go to, after leaving his own house was to Mrs. Miller’s at 63 Garfield street, with whom he used to live. He went on some errands for her and then left. Any information leading to the discovery of his whereabouts will be thankfully received by his father. Cornelius is 12 years of age. He is of fair complexion, very straight, light hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he had on a white straw hat, red waist with white dots, brown knickerbockers and black shoes and stockings. He is a pupil of No. 7 school. source: “Cornelius Ryer is Missing from Home.” Yonkers, NY: The Herald Statesman, 9 Sep 1903, p. 2. | Ryer, Cornelius Abram (I93)
