Notes par William Geary

Narrative by Linda English, published in the SDJM Newsletter, Vol. 5, No. 3, (Fall 1987), pages 410-414.

"Uncle Bill was born in 1832 and married on 3 July 1854 to Elizabeth V. Brown, better known as Aunt Lib.  They had two children:  George W., b. 1856 and Lucy M. b. 1857 and by 1860 Uncle Bill and Aunt Lib lived in Auburn township, Susquehanna county, where he practiced his trade of wheelwright and wagonmaker.  Uncle Bill later moved to Montrose where he established himself as a carriage and wagon maker on Chestnut street, near Turnpike street.  In THE INDUSTRIES OF PENNSYLVANIA [Vertical file #1347 at the Susquehanna County Historical Society], we find the following article:

"'Mr. Geary has always conducted a fine trade and his workmanship pronounced of the highest order, a fact evidenced by his having during the years 1858 through to 1864 received the highest premium at the Susquehanna County agricultural fair.  Mr. Geary is a first-class workman and uses only the best materials and gives his personal supervisin to all branches of the business, which consists of building buggies, backboards, and carriages of all descriptions, light and heavy wagons to order, and pays particular attention to repairing carriages and wagons, which is always attended to with promptness and dispatch.  Mr. Geary is a native of Luzerne county, and during his 30 years' residence in Montrose has gained an extended popularity, and for seven years was the constable of the borough;  he is the oldest carriage ande wagon maker in this part of the county, and is also the best known and most reliable;  he is highly esteemed by the community and enjoys a high reputation.'

"The year of 1861 brought much sadness into Uncle Bill's life, for on the 1st of December Aunt Lib died of diptheria, and just two days later the same disease claimed the life of their daughter.  Barely a month passed when the same dreaded disease claimed the life of Uncle Bill's son.  The paper said that he was recovering when the disease took the form of Quick Consumption and soon terminated his life. ...

"Uncle Bill married again on 18 June 1865  to Julia A. Labar.  She had a daughter Augusta Labar born in 1861 and they had a son, John W. Geary, born in August of 1867. ...Johnny fell into a cistern and drowned before anyone discovered him. ...By 1875 Bill and Julia had a son, Burton . In the 1880 census, they were shown as married in September of the census year, but by the time the census was taken, they were living apart.  Julia had her daughter, Augusta Labar, 19 years old, living with her and Burton Gary, their son, then 5 years old, along with Julia's niece, Sarah Smith.

"When Uncle Bill and Aunt Julia were divorced [for the second time?] on 23 January 1884, John C. Smith was listed as Julia's 'next friend'. [NOTE:  A different Julia Geary, daughter of Thomas Geary and Mary Fisher, had married John C. Smith in Center County, Pennsylvania, in 1871. John C. Smith might be a brother or cousin of this Julia, but he was not her spouse.]  Julia married Charles E. Potter about 1885 and moved to Binghamton, N.Y. When Amy's estate was settled, they conveyed their interest in the property to her executors to clear the title.

"Uncle Bill died in Montrose and was buried on 26 March 1885 in the Montrose cemetery.  There are no tombstones for him or any of his family in the Montrose cemetery. ; His only remaining child, Burton Gary, grew to manhood, married a girl in Binghamton, N.Y., and lived there until he died.  He kept a store and was quite well-to-do when he died."

Julia and Charles Potter were listed in the 1900 census with her son Burton Geary in Binghamton and they are all buried in a cemetery in Binghamton..
