From the Waterville Times, January 17, 1996
Past 50 Years Have Been Busy for Vet
"Last week The Waterville Times published an article by Capt Edward C. Am (U. S. Army retired) about a soldier in his regiment Sgt Charles Miner of Oriskany Falls, who saved the lives of several of his comrades in Germany in 1944.Past 50 Years Have Been Busy for Vet
Miner, after his honorable discharge from the Army, married Millie Clair in 1945. The couple recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Dec. 23, with a dinner at the Landmark in Bouckville, a tradition they have followed for many years.
Miner recently recalled how the couple fell in love with the former Neil Jeffers farm, and in 1947 purchased the land. They spent the next 20 years developing the farm into a
nine hole golf course before selling it to its present owners, Dave and Judy Keshler, in 1984. Before establishing the Barker Brook Golf Club, Miner worked for ..... machine shop, Mather, Evans and Diehl, in Utica. Miner said that he and his wife, Millie, spent a great deal of time designing the golf course, which had its beginnings in the fact that Millie used to like to go outside their house to hit a few balls for practice.
Miner said that he has kept in touch with his commanding officer, Major Am, whom he described as a"great officer." Miner said that he liked the service, but really wanted
to get back home after the war. He is a graduate of Oriskany Falls Union Free School, and attended Cornell University for a year before going to work in Utica.
The Miners have always worked very hard for many community organizations, and are still very active in the community."
- add-on at 7 o'clock - it's getting light out and I can still see the 1' (one foot) mark on my "snow stake," so the storm has not brought us as much snow as had been predicted.
It also appears that there WILL be school in Waterville!

Have a great day, everyone!
