to Oirskany, Oneida county.  On April 24th, 1827, he and Jane Hadden were
married.  They lived in Buffalo, Aurora and Rome, and moved to Downieville, Cal.
In 1862.  October 26th, 1825, Mr. Purdy was made Master Mason in Aurora, New

implicit faith in the Savior.  He moved to Long Valley in 1862, where he had a
fine ranch.  He was only sick four days with pleuro-pneumonia.  Mrs. Purdy has
been an invalid for some years.  They leave a family of children, all grown up
