| 14 | (Amherst Bee - February 25, 1939 - "The last Civil War Veteran in Williamsville, Christian F. Witmer, 99, died Thursday night at his home in 179 Cayuga St. after an illness of several weeks. Mr.Witmer, a member of a pioneer Amherst family homesteaded in the area where the Snyder section subsequently was developed. His father, Tobias Witmer, one of the first engineers and surveyors in Amherst, went to war with his son when President Lincoln called for volunteers. they served the 50th New York Engineering Division." I was born April 11, 1840, Previous to reaching my majority I was engaged mostly on work on the farm and attending school, and assisting my father in making surveys. My first venture in the way of business for myself was teaching the public school in what was known as the "Good District" in the town of Clarence for the winter term of 1860 - 1861. At the close of the school term I took a course in Bryant and Stratton Merchantile College in Buffalo, graduating in the spring of 1862. Enlisted in the 50th N.Y. Volunteers Engineers, August 22, 1862 and was honorably dischardged from the army service at the close of the War. The next few years were devoted to teaching schools during the winter in Levanworth, KS, and Easton Missouri, and on government surveys in the western part of Kansas, during the summer. Those were interesting times for me as you may judge from the fact that my flagman, John Roach, a Cavalryman was killed by Roman Noses' band of Cheyenne Indians while we were engaged in locating a township line on the plains. In 1868, I returned to New York State and took over my fathers business of surveying and insurance. I married Mary S. COTTON of Elma, Sept. 04, 1878. Two sons and three daughters were born of this union. Daughter Grace, born June 24, 1879, and died Sept. 01, 1916. There survive, sons Ralph, with two grandchildren. | WITMER, Christian Frick (I10230)

| 22 | 15 July 1958 Tonawanda News Body of NT Man Is Recovered From River at Niagara Falls The body of a man identified as Stephen J. Soos, 58, of 46 Sweeney St., North Tonawanda, was recovered yesterday afternoon from the Niagara River at the foot of 13th St., Niagara Falls. Mr. Soos body was first sighted by an unidentified fisherman who notified Cpl. Dominic Conti of the Niagara Frontier State Park Police at 3:05 p.m. It was recovered by Cpl. Conti and Niagara Falls firemen in a Civil Defense fire rescue boat. Officials estimated that the body had been in the water for about a week. Lt. Joseph Musgrave of Tonawanda, head of the State Park Police, said identification was initially made from scars, dental work, clothing and papers found on the body. Police Chief Grimaldi of North Tonawanda today assigned Patrolmen Edward Belbas and William DeMonte to assist Lt. Musgrave in inspecting medical and dental records available locally on Mr. Soos. The trio also planned to attempt to trace the last known movements of the man. Lt. Musgrave said a relative of Mr. Soos said she believed she has seen the man last about a week ago. Niagara County Coroner F. Eugene Ingram, who also is taking part in the investigation, said a post mortem examination would be made this afternoon to determine the exact cause of death. Lt. Musgrave said the body was clothed in dungarees, a bowling shirt lettered with Johns Grill and the name Stephen Sods (apparently a misspelling of Soos) and brown shoes. A wallet in the clothing contained papers with the name Stephen Soos and his former address, 184 Schenck St., but no money. Authorities said their investigation showed Mr. Soos had been separated from his wife, Mrs. Mildred Soos, for about a year. Mrs. Soos is employed by the Niagara County Welfare Department in its NT office. 16 July 1958 Tonawanda News SOOS Stephen J. Soos, 58, of 46 Sweeney St., North Tonawanda.
