SORRY everyone! That was the worst message that I have seen! I finally had
to delete the entire message - after I tried to reply with the typewritten
version!

Here is the typewritten portion of interest:

"MERCHANTS -- The first merchant in Otselic and in the town was George
Coley, who came here with his father, William Coley, an Englishman, who was
a colonel in the American army during the Revolutionary war and settled in
Otselic, where Hiram Dutton now lives, and died there Nov. 30, 1843, aged
85, and Sibyl, his wife, Jan. 26, 1824, aged 66. George Coley, who was
keeping tavern on the site of the one recently burned there, opened a store
in that building in 1812 and traded till about 1830, when he went to Otsego
county. He subsequently returned to Otselic, and engaged in farming, and
afterwards went West."
