Remsenburg Not the Same Since Dewitt Tuthill Left By Willis Tuthill REAISENBURG — Where did Dewitt Tuthill go? That is a ques- tion bothering his many Remsenburg neighbors. They saw him around as usual Sunday when he carted a truckload of articles for last Thursday ' s rummage sale at the chapel . Apparently, this was to be the-** —- last of his many acts of kindness and generosity in time and effort lor the church and community in which he had lived and labored so Jong. On Tuesday morning he took off , boarding the Cannonball , ob- viously for New York City. But to the person who took him to the train he refused to say where he was bound , how long he would be away or when he might return. He traveled light , carrying only a small suitcase and no other lug- gage of any kind. Ever since he sold his little farm of six acres with its cabin and buildings which housed his several hundred laying hens and broilers , his cow and calf , he had said that he was p lanning to go traveling foi a change. But he always re- fused to amplify , preferring to keep his future movements to nim- self , not confiding to anyone . A bachelor living alone , he had no near re.atives here except for a niece and distant cousin or two. The fact that he made no social contacts made him some- what of a recluse. He did go to church quite often and called on neighbors when he had business witn them , which was not often. By unanimous vote it could well be s>aid that Air. Tuthill' s p lace in the communi ty will be nard to till , for so many people depended on him to hel p them out; to mow their lawns , to cart this and that in his little truck and to come to their assistance when emergencies arose. Mr. Tuthill and his car , quite battered up from long use but going- strong, was always on the job regardless of wind or weather. Even in ninety degree temperatures those lawns had to be mowed , his chickens taken care of , cow and calf fed and his garden tended. Although in August he observed his eig htieth birthday, the active life he led belied his age , and few looked upon him as an old man. Ht always said he didn 't have lime to bother with birthdays , be- ing too busy to think about that sort of thing, and any recogni- tion or celebration he did not want. Besides keeping the grass at ihe church and cemetery cut , he found time to carry-on his farm from which every Saturday morn- ing the year round he maintained his delivery route furnishing his customers here and in Eastport dressed poultry, eggs and vege- tables. Feed for his stock he cart- ed from Riverhead. Unless he sold his products a1 retail he could not make a liv- ing, he said , giving as a reason the hi g h cost of transportation , commission , and shipped eggs to the city only when he had a sur- plus above local needs. The farmer buys dear and sells cheap, too cheap to make any money, he always maintained. Of all his farm chores , the one he liked best was taking care of his cow and calf. Parting with them must have been quite a wrench for him because of his fondness for them , his onl y pets. Blackie , the cow , was the most intelligent animal he ever saw , he said. If Blackie didn 't like her feed she would shake her head and paw the ground , quite put out and angry until it was changed. And if the calf was in trouble she would bellow long and loud. At one time he kept goats for milk , which be thought superior to cow ' s milk. Sometimes he would let them ride in the back of his truck , pick- ing them up in his armh so they could get in safely. Other pets were a pair of geese. A man well read who could talk on almost any subject , he had a background of technical training and scholastic achievement gained in his younger days as a graduate of Rensselaer Pol ytechnic Insti- tute , as an engineer at the Is- thmus of Panama , building rail- roads with the Canadian forces , in France during World War I and returning to take up a veteran ' s land grant in Canada. After a few years of homestead- ing in the Canadian wilds he gave up his farm there to return to his native village , Remsenburg, to take care of his aging mother and to provide a home for her until her death some years later. After her death he sold their home and bought the smal- farm which this Fall he sold to Her- bert S. Sorrell of Eastport , who p lans to, build on it. As for Mr. Tuthill , many here believe he may have returned to Canada , perhaps to another ad- venture in homesteading \in the bush , \ where it once was possible , he said , to \ stand in my cabin door and shoot almost any kind oi game I wanted. \ Shirley Man Escapes Serious Injury in Crash AlORICHES — A 47-year-old Shirley man escaped serious in- jury last Thursday night when the car he was driving overturned on Route 27 , about 400 feet eas t of the Moriches-Yap hank Road , Fifth Precinct police said. According to police , Harold Ashworth of 787 Rugb y Driive , Shirley, suffered abrasions of the right face. The car he was driv- ing, police said , was proceeding eust on the highway when it struck heavy wood p lanking for road construction in the center of the hi ghway about 10:20 p. m.. continued about 75 feet and over- turned on the .south side of the thoroughfare. He was treated at the Aloriches Aledical Group, Cen- ter Aloriches , and released to his home. Patrolman Eugene G.

Occupancy is p lanned for September , 1962. A total of 330 persons , of 439 registered , voted , and two ballots $* - . * . ,j ie voided. TI1 2 last bond issue of School D' strict 33 was in 1956 when approximatel y $500, 000 was voted for construction of the ele- mentary school addition including a cafeteria and high school vo- cational bhops. In the October iy proposition , $38 , 000 was asked for the pur- chase of the 3.25-acre site wnere the former St. John ' s parochial ^nooi ttcwids , and $*^o^ , 00u tor the ,six-c ' assroom ddition which will extend trom the present school onto the parochial school' s prop- erty, lying at the corner of Brook- field Avenue and Montauk Hig h- way. In the proposed addition will be four promary grades ' class- rooms , two kindergarten rooms and dressing r 00m and shower facilities for the existing elemen- tary school all-purpose room. \This will enable us , \ said Sup- ervising Principal Stanley Abrams , \to meet our own needs and the need of accomodating students in the junior and senior hig h schools who are not residents of our district. \ Air. Abrams said final disposi- tion of the former parochial school is expected to be decided upon in about two months. The board of education ' s building and grounds committee , headed by John Penny, is studying what will be done with the old two-story wooden struc- ture which was built around the turn of the century as a public school and sold to St. John ' s R. C. parish in 1927. Last year the par- ish completed a new elementary school here and the old school has not been in use. According to Air. Abrams there will be no increase to the tax rate for the present year. The 1960-61 tax rate was $6.92 per $100 of assessed valuation. The 1961-62 rate is anticipated to be between $7.25 and $7.35. It is expected that the $240 , 000 bond issue will add about 25 cents to the 1962-63 tax rate in the fast-growing dis- trict.
