|
| 221 | Emily Sibley Watson’s niece, younger daughter of Hobart Ford Atkinson and Zilpha Louise Sibley Atkinson. Her first husband was Gilman Henry Hubbell Perkins; after his death she married Ernest R. Willard. Her first husband’s mother, Caroline Perkins, was the founder of the Rochester Historical Society. After Marie Willard’s death she deeded her childhood home “Woodside” to the Historical Society, and it was the Society’s home for many years. Marie Willard was a charter member of the Children’s Auxiliary of Genesee Hospital and was a member of the hospital’s Board of Supervisors. She had been a member of the Memorial Art Gallery’s Board of Managers from its founding. Her obituary in the October 31, 1940 Democrat & Chronicle concluded: “Many things might be said of Mrs. Willard’s benefactions, which were numerous and were conducted with a rare shyness and modesty. Literally Mrs. Willard was one whose right hand was unaware of what her left hand did. In all her efforts to aid others, from early years until her death, she sought earnestly to make the lives of those she touched happier and more hopeful. The memory of her life is one that long will be cherished.” | Atkinson, Marie Louise (IMLAW)
|
| 222 | Emily Sibley Watson’s son by her first marriage. J.G., as he was called, was a promising architect when he died from typhoid at age 26. From an early age, J.G. accompanied his mother on her travels in the United States and Europe and he participated in the 1893 Trip Along the Nile. He was educated at the Fort Hill School in Rochester, St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, and Harvard College. Throughout, he studied violin, including under the tutelage of Rochester orchestral leader Herman Dossenbach, and performed with various musical groups. Following graduation in 1899, he returned to Rochester and worked intermittently in the architectural firm of Bragdon and Hillman. A course of advanced study in architecture at Harvard was followed by a European tour and then a position with Herbert D. Hale's Boston-based architecture firm. After his death, J.G.'s architecture books were given by his mother, Emily Sibley Watson, to Claude Bragdon. In 1913, Emily Sibley Watson donated the Memorial Art Gallery to the University of Rochester in his memory. His newly-acquired collection of prints formed the beginnings of the print collection at the Memorial Art Gallery. May Bragdon, Claude's sister, writes about his death in her diary entry of November 21, 1904, page 138 of February 26, 1904-June 8, 1905: "Very much shocked to hear of the death of "J.G." Averell yesterday, of typhoid fever, at his Mother's, Mrs. Watson's. He was such a fine strong handsome, athletic such fellow and just boning down to his architecture after a year abroad - with everything before him - it does seem such a pity!"

| 236 | Entrepreneur and capitalist, nurseryman and founder of Western Union, Hiram Sibley was born in North Adams, Massachusetts. He moved to Western New York around 1829-1830, and by 1835 he and his lifelong friend and partner Don Alonzo Watson had opened a machine shop in Sibleyville (now Mendon). He was elected Monroe County Sheriff in 1843 and began to invest in local nurseries in 1844. Before the Civil War he was active in Republican (anti-slavery) politics. After the invention of the telegraph in 1844, Sibley’s interests turned to telegraphy and railroads. He organized and invested in patents and companies, consolidating his interests through the formation of Western Union in 1856. During the Civil War, Western Union consolidated its hold on northern and western telegraph lines. Sibley traveled to Russia in late 1864 to negotiate with the Tsar for an undersea telegraph cable that would cross the Bering Strait from Alaska to Russia, uniting the Americas, Europe and Asia. The plan was stymied by the ultimate success after several failures of an Atlantic cable in 1866. In his later years, he again invested in nurseries, purchasing the largest farm in the country and founding Hiram Sibley & Co., a seed company based in Rochester and Chicago. He was a prominent supporter of both the University of Rochester and Cornell University in Ithaca. | Sibley, Hiram (IHSIB)
