Re: (erielack) Wilseyville, then, Willseyville, later



All,

My D.L.&W. "List of Officers, Agents, Stations, Equipment, 
Facilities..." from April 1, 1911 shows:
Lestershire at MP 208.54 on the Buffalo Division, where Johnson City is 
today, and
Leicester at MP 349.98 on the Buffalo Division, about 3 miles west of 
Mt. Morris.

The same documentation shows "Wilseyville" on the Ithaca Branch; later 
documentation shows: "Willseyville".

Vinnie

"Peterborough?"
