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

Now we can get to another point of confusion -- pronunciation.

Did they follow the example of Worcester, MA (pronounced "Wooster") and call Leicester "Lester?"

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".
