===Obituary===<br />
''[Berne]--Paul Zuk--a farmer, a mechanic, a woodworker--was a man of many talents, all cultivated through hard work and shared with generosity. He spent most of his life in Berne where he and his wife, Mary Kozar Zuk, raised three children. Mr. Zuk died on Friday, September 1, 2006, at the Avenue Nursing and Rehab Center in Schenectady. He was 90. "He was so patient," said his son and eldest child, Alan Zuk. "I don't recall him raising his voice--ever. However, when he said something, you did it. There was no discussion. It was the law of the family...not in an aggressive or bad way." Mr. Zuk also said, "He had such a work ethic; it was a great influence on me and my two sisters." Paul Zuk was born in New York City to parents who came from the Ukraine. "My grandmother stowed away and came through the original Ellis Island," said Alan Zuk. "She lied about her age to get in." Paul Zuk's father was a chef and his mother was a homemaker. He spent his early years in New York City before the family moved to a farm in Berne. "It was at Zuk's Four Corners," said Alan Zuk. Paul Zuk got a strong work ethic from his father and learned generosity from his mother, said his son. Alan Zuk described him as "absolutely generous, like his mother." He went on, "When you visited Grandma--she didn't have much--you came home with more than you brought. Even if your visit was unannounced, you came home with something she baked or canned or sewed." Paul Zuk was a World War II veteran. He served in the United States Army from 1941 to 1945 in New Guinea and the Philippines. "He worked in vehicle maintenance close to the front lines; he carried a weapon," said his son of Mr. Zuk's military service. "He really never talked about it much...He said many times he wouldn't take a million dollars for the experience, but he wouldn't do it over." Mr. Zuk married Mary Kozar in New York City while on leave in January of 1942. He spent three years after the war in the city, working as a taxicab mechanic before moving to Berne in 1948. The next year, he purchased the Austin Shultes farm on Canaday Hill Road, now owned by Laurel Dover and Duncan Searl. He ran a dairy farm there until 1975. He had a sense of the natural order of life," said his son. "He knew the time to plant, the time to watch things grow, the time to harvest." His son went on, "He would be so patient. When weather was bad, he would wait. Maybe it would be a Sunday or when you had other plans, but you would do the business of farming." Paul Zuk was a member of the Albany Cooperative Extension Service and the Farm Bureau. He was also a member of the Beaverdam Reformed Church and the First Reformed Church of Berne. The two churches shared a minister and, when the congregation dwindled at the Beaverdam church, it combined with the church in Berne. "I am fortunate enough to have grown up on the family farm and spent countless hours with my father operating machinery, driving the tractor from an early age," said Alan Zuk. "It gives you a sense there's a job to do...You start the job, you finish the job." Mr. Zuk admired his father's strength. "During the summer, he would hire teenagers to help him harvest the hay crop," recalled his son. "He wouldn't show off his strength. But he could throw a hay bale like people throw a shot put... "Some of the teenagers would try to do it. They couldn't come close; I never could. It was strength and technique. He demonstrated he was the strongest guy around. He didn't do it to brag." Mr. Zuk's strength was matched by his stamina. "He was the hardest worker," said Alan Zuk. He recalled when, as a teenager, his parents would take a weekend away, leaving him and his two sisters to do the farm work. "I would literally be exhausted with what he did day in, day out," said Alan Zuk. "He would work 14, 15 hours a day." Mr. Zuk's work wasn't confined just to farming. In his early years at the farm, he would drive a snowplow for the county in the winter months. He then worked for decades as a bus driver and mechanic for the Berne-Knox-Westerlo School District. When Alan Zuk became BKW's transportation supervisor, he would call on his father to fill in for absent mechanics. "It was a pleasure to have him with me," said Mr. Zuk. "He was a great mechanic; he needed no supervision. He could fix anything." His father had the ability to analyze a problem, and solve it, Mr. Zuk said. "He would take it as a challenge if someone said something was beyond repair. He'd get whatever it was back running again." At the end of his work day, Paul Zuk would spend time in his wood shop. Over the years, he completed a wide variety of projects, ranging from the practical--step stools, chairs, and tables--to the fanciful, such as exquisitely crafted doll houses. He sometimes found his materials in odd places. Once, on a trip to the town landfill, his son recalled, "He spied some oak boards. He brought them back home and turned them into a table for the kids." Mr. Zuk also transformed discarded household objects into finery for his miniature houses. The plastic cork from a bottle of sparkling wine, for example, served as a splendid lamp in a doll-house living room. Mr. Zuk could replicate an object just by looking at it. For example, his son said, he once saw a clothes hamper in a department store. "He took a snapshot and built it from scratch," said his son. "We have it in our house. When he retired from farming, his projects got much larger," said Mr. Zuk. "He made roll-top desks and a replica of his farmhouse." His proudest moment as a woodworker came when Jack Norray Jr. took his doll house to a Woodworkers' Society convention in Saratoga. "Everybody hung around his doll house," said Mr. Zuk. "Someone wanted to rent it to display the miniature furniture he made; someone else wanted to exhibit it at a museum." Describing his father's doll houses as "art work," Mr. Zuk went on, "It was never his intention to show off his work." Paul Zuk, often gave his handiwork away.

[[Image:Warnerslake-web.jpg|frame|center|<center>Portion of [[1787 survey map|1787 survey map]] by Wm. Cockburn for Van Rensselaer</center>]]<br />
<br />
The earliest records of the Zeh family have been traced to Rudelsheim, a village replaced in 1830 by Ludwigshöhe, just south of Oppenheim, Germany. <br />
*1709 Johannes Zeh, aged 42 and his wife Magdalene and three young sons arrived as refugees in London. His occupation was recorded as husbandman and vinedresser. They were Catholics. Later that year Queen Anne decreed that only Protestant refugees could be relocated in the British American Colonies in the New World; Catholics were given the opportunity to either become Protestant or to be shipped back to the Continent. Zeh became Lutheran. <br />
*<1765 Johannes Zeh brought his family from Schoharie to the Beaver Dam and settled next to the Warner family between what are now the hamlets of Berne and East Berne. Like all early Berne settlers the Zeh's were squatters. The two families operated a sawmill on [[Foxenkill|Fox Creek]] just upstream from the intersection of Turner Road with Helderberg Trail. A book on the history of early mills say that [[Warner's Sawmill|Warner's Sawmill]] was built in 1765. However, according to 1787 Van Rensselaer records it was operated by both the Warner's and the Zeh's. <br />
*1765 - The Zeh’s brought with them their Lutheran faith. The first of Lutheran service held in Beaver Dam was in February 1765 when Dominie Sommer of Schoharie preached at the home of Johannes Zeh and administered communion. He administered communion again at the Zeh home in 1766.<br />
*1790 the first Lutheran church in Beaver Dam was incorporated one of the three trustees was Christian Zeh, a son of Johannes, at whose house Dominie Sommer had administered Communion in 1765. Since there was no hamlet in the area, the simple frame church was built near the Zeh and Warner homesteads, just east of the present-day Pine Park residential area (site of the Pine Grove Cemetery). <br />
*1787 Stephen Van Rensselaer III had William Cockburn survey his land in the Helderbergs. The purpose was to force leases on the squatters who had been living there rent free, some of them for almost half a century, and to mark 160 square acre lots on the vacant land prior to seeking renters. Survey notes for [[Lot 564|Lot 564]], the site of the present day Pine Grove Park residential area, say: ''This is a Middling good Lot, Well Watered by the [[Foxenkill| foxen Kill]] on which is a fine Sawmill, with a gang of Saws. The Werners & See's [Zehs] are the Chief proprietors of it. Chiefly Pine & Oak Timber.'' <br />
<br />
''Werner'' is the original German spelling of Warner. ''See'' is an alternative English spelling of Zeh. Names in quotes are the spelling in the original document.<br />
<br />
The [[1787 survey map|1787 survey map]] shows the Warner and Zeh sawmill on the bank of the [[Foxenkill|Foxenkill]] on the western edge of the 71 acre lot 564. The lot's irregular shape indicates that it was settled by squatters before the survey. ''H. See'' lived on the adjoining lot 584 to the east. Between [[Helderberg Trail|Helderberg Trail]] and the Foxenkill was the north part of Lot 565 farmed by ''Christian See.'' <br />
<br />
The 1787 survey map shows a house on [[Lot 582|Lot 582]] that is still standing (across the street from what in 2007 is the [[Hilltowns Senior Citizens|Hilltowns Senior Citizens]] Center). Although it was reportedly built in 1795 by a Zeh, the Van Rensselaer lease records and 1787 survey map indicate the house was built prior to 1787 by Henry Warner. <br />
<br />
On the eastern part of the sawmill lot was the Zeh and Warner families burying ground with the earliest known burial 1777. The Zehs and Warners were instrumental in the 1790 incorporation of what became the Zion Lutheran Church in Beaver Dam. July 1797 the church leased lot 564 where the sawmill and burying ground were located. Using planks sawed at the mill, a frame church was constructed near the burying ground, now known as the [[Pine Grove Cemetery (Lutheran Church Cemetery)|Pine Grove Cemetery]].<br />

==Military Service==<br />
The story of Norton Zeh's service in the Civil War is a tragic one. Like many young men in the North, he heroicly enlisted in 1862 for 9 months assuming that the North would quickly win the war. He served in Company G of the 177th Regiment until September 10, 1863. Recognizing that the war would not be won so easily and feeling he should do more, he spent just four months with his family before re-enlisting on January 11, 1864 in the 7th HA Regiment. This regiment was a popular one with the men of the Hilltowns and Albany area, and had had a relatively easy assignment protecting the nation's capital Washington, DC. But Norton's timing was bad as in the spring of 1864 the 7th HA Regiment was sent into battle and it fought in some of the most brutal conflicts of the war over the next few months. Having faced weeks of heavy casualties and brutal conditions, Norton was captured on June 16, 1864 at Petersburg and was sent to Andersonville prison. Conditions there were beyond imagination, but Norton somehow survived. On October 24, 1864, he was admitted to the hospital at Andersonville, which indicates that he must have been near death.<ref name="Hospital">Andersonville Hospital Register, Civil War Prisoner of War database, www.ancestry.com</ref> Hospitals at prisons with such conditions are a bit ironic, because men were dying every day of starvation and disease throughout the prison. The hospital register documented that he was being treated for scorbutus or scurvy.<ref name="Hospital"/> Scurvy was the second leading cause of death behind chronic diarrhea, and was caused by the starvation rations which generally only included corn meal, bread, or rice with perhaps a bit of bacon, beef or beans and no fresh fruits or vegetables. Norton would have experienced trouble breathing, extreme exhaustion, depression, constant muscle pains and bleeding throughout his body. Apparently the hospital administered even Vitamin C to bring Northon back from the brink of death, only to return him to the horrible prison conditions. But Norton survived, and with amazing luck was part of an prisoner exchange on November 14, 1864.<ref>Civil War Prisoner of War database, www.ancestry.com</ref> It is hard to imagine, Norton's physical and mental state after his release. But he apparently returned to the 7th HA. At some point he was charged with theft, faced a general court-martial and was imprisoned for three years.<ref name="Carnival"/><ref name="Town and City Registers"/> When his regiment mustered out, he was "absent from confinement."<ref name="Carnival"/> He was dishonorably discharged by the US Army for theft.<ref name="Carnival"/> Only questions remain; what did he possibly steal that could have been worthy of that punishment and how could the military could have ignored this man's earlier patriotism and the brutal conditions that he faced? His dishonorable discharge must have followed him for the remainder of his life as he was surrounded by other veterans of the 7th Heavy Artillery Regiment. He was denied all pension benefits despite health issues that must have resulted from his confinement at Andersonville.<ref name="Ancestry"/><br />

==Life==<br />
After the Civil War, Norton returned to Berne and was living with his parents, sister and grandmother [[Eva Warner]] Zeh (B. Mar 6, 1775, D. Sept 22, 1870) in 1865.<ref name="1865Census">1865 NY State Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref><ref name="Bernehistory"/> He then married Katherine in 1867 and they immediately began their family. However in 1870, he alone was living with his parents, sister and grandmother.<ref name="1870Census">1870 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> His father [[Christopher Zeh]] at age 70 was still working as a farmer on property he owned, Northon was working as a stone mason.<ref name="1870Census"/> By 1880 Norton and Katherine were living on their own with their young family.<ref name="1880Census">1880 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> On August 16, 1890, Norton filed for an invalid pension associated with his Civil War service, but it was denied apparently because of his dishonorable discharge.<ref name="Pension">Civil War Pension Index, www.ancestry.com</ref><ref name="Ancestry">www.ancestry.com</ref> By 1900, Norton and Katherine had moved to Voorheesville in New Scotland, where they rented a house and Norton worked as a mason.<ref name="1900Census">1900 US Census, Voorheesville, New Scotland, Albany Co, NY</ref> In 1910, Norton was still working as a mason at the age of 71 years.<ref name="1910Census">1910 US Census, New Scotland, Albany Co, NY</ref> <br />

[[Image:Grant andFlorence.jpg|200px|thumb|center|<center>Grant and Florence Barker Young</center>]] <br />
<br />
GRANT F. AND FLORENCE BARKER YOUNG<br />
<br />
<br />
Grant and Florence Young were a couple that lived for love of family. They were married for 39 years, during that time, blessed with 3 children. But I'm ahead of myself with their story. Looking back:<br />
Grant was born on October 12, 1908 in Catskill, New York, the oldest of 3. By the time he reached a young age of 12 or 13, Grant's father [ an engineer for G.E. ] was diagnosed with a brain tumor that caused blindness. At this point his father was unfortunately forced to retire. Grant lived on Livingston Ave. in Albany with his parents, and needed to help support them financially. He had to find a job and find one quickly! But who would hire a teenager, one who had only completed 8th grade. He started taking in and doing neighbors laundry in a back room of his parents' home. This so called business grew, and so did the need to expand beyond the neighborhood. He needed transportation. So, at age 14, got his license to drive, by creatively adding 2 years to achieve the age requirement for the Department of Motor Vehicle.<br />
Grant was just as successful in educating himself. No time allowed for school attendance, but the thirst for knowledge was always present. He became a self-made man, both in brains and business!<br />
As the business grew, so did the need for space; more washers and dryers; and more help to meet the demand. In 1926 Grant brought and renovated property on Elk St. in Albany and opened " Young's Laundry ".<br />
A few years later Grant met the love of his life, Florence Barker. Florence was born on June 30, 1909, the youngest of 6. She graduated from Vincentian "VI" and Mildred Elley Business School. She pursued a career with the American Humane Society. Grant and Flo dated and were married on June 22, 1935. Eventually, they purchased a two family house in Albany, in which Grant's parents and his younger siblings also resided.<br />
At the onset of WW2, Grant's younger brother, Walt, went to war, leaving Grant home to run the laundry business and continue to be the sole support for his family. At that time, due to his financial responsibilities , Grant was not drafted.<br />
Upon his brother's return from the war; somewhat physically and emotionally injured, as well as jobless; Grant made him a full partner in the business. His brother continued to work at the laundry until his death years later.<br />
Now we are at 1947, upon which 7 camps for sale on the North End of Warner Lake, are purchased by Grant and Flo with 2 other relatives. You could often hear Grant exclaim, as he arrived at the lake from a twelve hour day at the laundry, " FROM HELL TO HEAVEN IN 30 MINUTES ."<br />
Grant and Flo spent every summer at the lake, there after, with family. They enjoyed so many wonderful times and created just as many wonderful memories.<br />
In the early 70's, Grant's illness forced him to close the business, which had grown to one of the largest and most successful, commercial and residential, laundries in Albany. In March 1975, Grant died suddenly. He was 66.<br />
Florence loved her summers at the lake with family and friends till 2005. She died in July 2006 at the ripe old age of 97.<br />
Grant and Florence's legacy lives on with their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, to this day, enjoying Warner Lake as they once did.<br />

OBITUARY. <br />
<br />
Treat D. Young died at his home in Schenevus, Monday, May 25th, after a brief attack of peritonitis. Saturday forenoon, May 23rd, while at work on the second story of a frame building at Worcester, he fell twenty two feet and struck on the ground. He was unconscious for a time, but finally rallied. The Worcester physicians were called and found no bones broken, but they feared internal injury. He rallied sufficiently to be brought to his home in the afternoon and seemed to do well until Monday when peritonitis developed and be died that evening.<br />
<br />
Young was born in Summit, about 73 years ago. He enlisted early during the war and was a member of Co. I of the well known 121st Reg. He was a brave and good soldier and shared the hardships of his regiment. He was taken prisoner and confined in Andersonville prison for six months and endured all the deprivations and cruelties incident to Such a terrible institution. His health was very much impaired; in fact he never fully recovered from that awful experience. <br />
<br />
In early manhood he was united in marriage to Miss Sophronia A. Lane. They have been blessed with a happy home over fifty years. They have one daughter, Edith, who married M. W. Becker of Berne, and one son, Frank S., who is on the police force in Hartford, Conn. He was a good citizen, an active and consistent member of the M. E. church, where he will be greatly missed. He was a kind husband and father, therefore he was thoroughly devoted to his home. Mrs. Young and her son and daughter have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. <br />
<br />
Funeral services were held at his late home Wednesday at 4 o'clock. His pastor. Rev. E. Kilpatrick, conducted the services. Burial took place Thursday morning at Knox, were Mr. Young and his son-in-law, Mr. Becker, have joint lot.<br />

<br />
'''Samuel Young, his grandfather, was a native of Connecticut and settled in the town of Berne, near where is now the village of Reidsville, in 1792, where he farmed and practiced law, having for many years an extensive law practice. His wife was Magdalene Warner, a native of Berne, and they had three sons: Philip, David and Silas. He died in 1860 at the age of eighty years; his wife died some years before.''' <br />
<br />
Philip, the father of Elias, was born in Berne in 1809, where he was a lifelong farmer and owned a farm of 160 acres. His wife was Hannah, daughter of Elias Mathias of New Scotland, and their children were Samuel P. (deceased), David P., Mary E., Margaret A. and Elias. He died in 1891 and his wife m 1893. <br />
<br />
Elias Young spent his earlier days on his father's farm, where he attended the common schools and later the Fort Edward Institute; subsequently, by the assistance of his father, he entered as a student Eastman College, from which he was graduated in 1865. When twenty years of age he began teaching, which profession he has followed a goodly portion of the time. For some five years he was engaged in general mercantile business in the village of Reidsville, in partnership with his brother, and was for many years a dealer in agricultural implements. Mr. Young from early manhood manifested a keen interest in the political affairs of his town and county, associating himself with the side of Democracy. He was elected and filled the office of justice of the peace for twelve years, and from 1886 to 1896 has been notary public. In 1881 he was elected school commissioner and again in 1891 and 1893. In 1868 he married Frances, daughter of Hugh Conger of Berne, and they have two children : Eunice (wife of Christopher Michael), and Philip S., M.

Young, Elias, was born in the town of Berne, June 22, 1844. <br />
<br />
Samuel Young, his grandfather, was a native of Connecticut and settled in the town of Berne, near where is now the village of Reidsville, in 1792, where he farmed and practiced law, having for many years an extensive law practice. His wife was Magdalene Warner, a native of Berne, and they had three sons: Philip, David and Silas. He died m 1860 at the age of eighty years; his wife died some years before. <br />
<br />
'''Philip, the father of Elias, was born in Berne in 1809, where he was a lifelong farmer and owned a farm of 160 acres. His wife was Hannah, daughter of Elias Mathias of New Scotland, and their children were Samuel P. (deceased), David P., Mary E., Margaret A. and Elias. He died in 1891 and his wife m 1893.''' <br />
<br />
Elias Young spent his earlier days on his father's farm, where he attended the common schools and later the Fort Edward Institute; subsequently, by the assistance of his father, he entered as a student Eastman College, from which he was graduated in 1865. When twenty years of age he began teaching, which profession he has followed a goodly portion of the time. For some five years he was engaged in general mercantile business in the village of Reidsville, in partnership with his brother, and was for many years a dealer in agricultural implements. Mr. Young from early manhood manifested a keen interest in the political affairs of his town and county, associating himself with the side of Democracy. He was elected and filled the office of justice of the peace for twelve years, and from 1886 to 1896 has been notary public. In 1881 he was elected school commissioner and again in 1891 and 1893. In 1868 he married Frances, daughter of Hugh Conger of Berne, and they have two children : Eunice (wife of Christopher Michael), and Philip S., M.

<br />
==Military Service==<br />
Silas W. Wright enlisted in the 7th Heavy Artillery Regiment, which was very popular with men from Albany County. For the first few months of his service, the Regiment had relatively easy duty guarding the nation's capital, Washington, DC. But in the spring of 1864, the Regiment was sent into battle where they experienced some of the heaviest fighting and saw one of the highest casualty rates of any unit in the Civil War.<br />
<br />
<br>On June 3, 1864, Silas was wounded at [[Cold Harbor]], Virginia and he lost two fingers on his right hand. Robert Keating, in his book ''[[Carnival of Blood]]'', tells of the high number of hand injuries among the 7th HA troops and that officials suspected that many of these injuries were self-inflicted in an attempt to avoid battle. The brutality of the Civil War battles makes such actions understandable. <br />
<br />
<br>After his injury, probably unable to handle a rifle, Silas was transferred to the 3rd Regiment of the Veterans Reserve Corps. The Veteran Reserve Corps allowed soldiers with non-serious injuries to continue to serve their nation by providing guard or clerical services. In August of 1865, Silas mustered out of the Ira Harris US Army General Hospital in Albany, NY, which indicates that he had some injury or disability. This is confirmed by the comment that he was discharged from service by a surgeon's certificate.<ref name="VolHome">Registers of US National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers 1866-1938, www.ancestry.com</ref><br />
<br />
<br>It appears that the stress of Silas' military career would stay with him for the remainder of his life. He became an alcoholic, probably as a result of post traumatic stress syndrome, and lived a tragic life.<br />
<br />
==Physical Appearance==<br />
Silas W. Wright was 5'4" tall with gray eyes, and dark hair and complexion.<ref name="VolHome"/><br />
<br />
==Religion==<br />
Silas was Protestant.<ref name="VolHome"/><br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
Silas was born and raised in Berne where his father, [[Mephiboseth Wright]], was a farmer who owned land.<ref name="1850Census"/><ref name="1855Census"/> Early in Silas' life the family lived in a log cabin.<ref name="1855Census"/> Silas' mother Mercy Simmons died in 1857 when he was 15 years of age.<ref>''The Wright Families of Berne, New York,'' by Douglas Wright Cruger, 2003</ref> Having four boys to care for, Mephiboseth received the help of his older sister Hannah Wright (B. 1805, D. after June 1, 1865), a spinster, who came to live with them after Mercy's death.<ref name="1860Census"/><ref name="1865Census"/> <br />
<br />
<br>Silas applied for a military pension in 1865.<ref>Pension File, Application #97356, Cer. #56465.</ref> In the 1880s Silas was living in Colchester, McDonough County, Illinois, where he worked as a "tile ditcher".<ref name="VolHome">Registers of US National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers 1866-1938, www.ancestry.com</ref><ref name="License"/> At some time before 1888 he married for the first time. Nothing more is known about that marriage at this time. In 1888 he married for the second time to Ida M. Smith. She was 24 years younger than he, having been born in 1868.<ref name="License"/> During their marriage, they lived in a house on the farm of George Eakle in McDonough County, Illinois. Their marriage was short and unhappy, as apparently Silas was an alcoholic. Their marriage ended tragically when Ida committed suicide on May 15, 1888 at their home less than two months after their marriage. She left a suicide note for her husband saying they would both be happier with her dead.<ref name="clipping">"[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~majorville/majtombstones/wright_ida_m_smith.html ''A Sad Suicide,'' Newspaper Clipping from page 8 of May 25, 1888 "The LaHarper."]</ref> Ida, who was not yet 20 years of age, was buried at Majorville Cemetery in Hancock County, Illinois, where beautiful carved gravestone marks her grave.<ref name="Gravestone"/> <br />
<br />
<br>It appears that after Ida's death, Silas' life collapsed. He returned to Berne where his brother [[Frank Wright]] still lived, and there Silas was recorded in the 1890 US Veterans Census.<ref name="1890Census">1890 US Veterans Census, Westerlo, Albany Co, NY</ref> By October 31, 1899, he was receiving his Civil War pension and had a diseased rectum that he was said to have contracted in Illinois in 1865. His physical and mental problems were significant enough by this time to require his hospitalization at the US National Home for Disabled Soldiers at Danville, Vermillion Couny, Illinois. Silas was recorded as living there in the 1900 US Census.<ref name="1900Census"/> He was transferred to the US National Home for Disabled Soldiers at Johnson City, Tennessee on September 11, 1904 where he was discharged on August 19, 1905. However his time outside the Disabled Veterans home was short, as on November 21, 1905 he was admitted to the US National Home for Disabled Soldiers at Bath, Steuben County, NY, where he was recorded as "card hyper". Over the next four years, he would be discharged twice and readmitted both times several months later. Their records show the last admission was December 17, 1907; he there died a year and a half later. During all his admissions, his contact person was his brother [[Frank Wright]] of South Berne, NY.<ref name="VolHome"/><ref name="Slingerlands1909">The Slingerland Bulletin 1909, South Berne, Sunnyside.</ref> <br />
<br />
<br>Note: Information on Silas' life after the Civil War is complicated by the large number of Silas W. Wrights born in NY about the same time.<br />

Samuel enlisted at age 40 in 1864. That was old for a Civil War soldier and the older men found the brutal conditions especially grueling. They often were unable to keep up with the younger soldiers. They were more likely to be sick. <br />

<br />
Richard Wright, the grandfather, was born in Berne, January 28, 1793, where he was a lifelong farmer. His wife was Lydia Vincent. <br />

'''Joshua B., the father of Charles Wright, was born March 28, 1816, where he also was a farmer, coming into possession of his father's homestead of 100 acres. He filled the office for some years of commissioner of highways, etc. His wife, Lucretia Wright, was born in Berne in 1820, and was a daughter of James Wright. Their children were Wesley, Charles W. and Richard (who died when five years of age). Joshua R died in 1878 and his wife in 1894.''' <br />

Charles W.

L, 3d N. Y. Cavalry, and served until the close of the war. He was in several skirmishes and raids in Virginia and North Carolina, and the winter of 1864-65 he was detailed as orderly at the provost marshal's quarters. Soon after his return home he purchased a farm and followed farming summers and teaching winters, until he had taught in all twenty-two terms. During those years he dealt to a considerable extent in clover seed and since then his farming has occupied most of his attention, his farm consisting of seventy acres. Mr. Wright has from time to time filled the office of inspector of elections, tax collector two terms, town auditor, and is now filling the office of deputy sheriff. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Berne Lodge, the Grand Army of the Republic, Post Charles McCullough No. 645 of West Heme, of which he was one of the charter members and of which he is senior vice-commander; he has also tilled the office of adjutant and junior vice.
