I was In Cortland and visited my great grandfathers, on my father’s side of the family, burial site. There’s a bunch of Beers buried around the second pillar from the left, dark gray. Some small children, his brothers, wife and children. This cemetery is on Rt. 13 as it nears downtown area where I was told that many of the buildings that are stone and brick would have been built by this ancestor. I visited years ago a small building supply site on Main Street and spoke to the owner who was a Warfield. Beers and Warfield were contractors in the city for many years till my Grandfather moved to Syracuse to work as a mason at Syracuse University. Maybe he sold his half of the business at that time to Warfield. Anyway, there was a fireplace at the lumberyard that absolutely matched the fireplace in the home I grew up in. Dead ringer! It was made by my grandfather’s brother who continued to live in Cortland while the one in Syracuse was built by my Grandfather. Our house was built by my father, the carpenter, and Grandfather, the mason. This is 5.9″x 11.8″ using Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches paper.
