'''Lewis W. Sturgess Observes First Anniversary In Business'''

Editor's Note: The following is
from the Unadilla Times of Sept. 16.
Lewis W. Sturgess is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Sturgess of Altamont,
R. D.

The Times extends best wishes to
Lewis W. Sturgess who this week is
observing the first anniversary of his
entry into business. On September
1, 1956, he purchased the local drug
business from Robert T. Kinch. During
his first year as proprietor of
Sturgess Pharmacy he has installed
all new shelving, redecorated the
store and rearranged the entire stock.
The store renders a valuable service
to this community in furnishing a reliable
prescription service and providing
a source for medicines and sundries.
Mr. Sturgess has been very
cooperative in providing medications
in emergencies during the hours
when his place of business is normally
closed.

He was graduated from the Albany
College of Pharmacy, Union University,
in 1953 and licensed by the
state of New York in November of
that year. For a time he was employed
by various drug firms in the
city of Albany. In January, 1954, he
entered the Army Medical Service
and served two years in this country
and abroad.

In August, 1954, he married Miss
Ellen Harper of Jamestown, N. Y.
Mrs. Sturgess is a graduate of P i t t s burgh
State Teachers' College and received
a B. S. degree from the School
of Nursing, Union University, where
she met her husband. She served as
school nurse at Ravena Central school
for one year. The Sturgess family i
also consists of a daughter, Kathleen,
born June 10, 1956.

Mr. Sturgess' chief hobby is flying
and he spends part of his leisure time I
piloting rented small planes over the
countryside hereabouts.

Since coming to Unadilla, Mr. and
Mrs. Sturgess have made many
friends throughout the community
who join with the Times in extending
congratulations for a successful
first year in business here.

'''Flooding in Unadilla'''

To the Editor:

Yes, we had flood water here
in Unadilla, We were on the high
side of the old D&H tracks, so we
were dry.

Everyone from Main Street to
the river had to be evacuated.
There were eight inches of river
going down Main Street. All the
cellars were flooded and the
closer you were to the river, the
deeper the water.

A friends of ours lives on the
river bank and had three feet of
water in his house. Every house
had freezers, refrigerators,
washers, dryers, stoves, carpets,
furniture, wallboard, and insulation
piled out by the street.

Our church lost everything in
the basement — furnace, water
heater, complete kitchen,
pastor's office,' walls, rugs,
furniture — everything.

And, to help things, Oneonta's
sewage is in the river. Now the
mosquitoes and smell are here. I
take at least two showers a day
and still feel dirty.
Keep your feet dry and take
care.

Lewis Sturgess
Unadilla
