livery business and when he dropped the grocery business in 1879, he still 
continued to manage his livery establishment.  Mr. Staring during his long

entire community.  He was supervisor of the town for three years, 1869-70-71, 
and has been trustee of the village for several years.  He comes of an old and 
honorable family.  He is the son of Peter Staring, who was in the war of 1812, 
and a grandson of Adam Staring, one of the early settlers in this locality.  
His mother's father was the celebrated Colonel Feeter.  The old Staring farm 
is located about one mile from the village, and thirty acres of the property 
was purchased by the water commissioners for a storage reservoir and a park.
