born in Marcy. Three died in infancy and four, Milton Ray, Clara A., William C. 
and Welcome L., are living in California. He moved to Elkhorn, Wis. in 1884,

loyal supporter of the denomination of his choice - the Baptist. He was a 
liberal Democrat for many years, but had been a Republican since McKinley's 
second term. Mr. Mayhew had many friends in this town and central New York, who
