JOSEPH EMOND HOUSE ON EVANS MILLS HIGHWAY
In spite of the modern exterior appearance created
by the comparatively new open and enclosed porches this
native limestone house owned by T. Bernard Casey and
wife, Marion Casey, is probably approximately 120 years
old. It stands on the north side of the Watertown-Evans
Mills state highway at the east corner of the Sanford's
Corners-Pamelia road and is believed to have been built
by Joseph Emond some time after the mid-summer of
1828.
Joseph Emond, born in France about 1785 served
seven years under Napoleon including the peninsular campaign
of 1813, in which was the battle of Vittorio. He
came to the United States about 1828 and on August 25
of that year contracted to buy an estimated 55 acres of
land in the area where this house is. It is said that he
immediately set about clearing off the forest and on July
18, 1835, a deed of the tract was delivered to him by Moss
Kent, Plattsburgh, from whom he purchased the property.
He died Aug. 19, 1840, his widow, Marie Adelaide, and
children surviving.
A son, John B. Emond, who was born in France in
1820, is said to have later taken over the farm and increased
its acreage to a total of 300, becoming a successful
farmer. His wife was the former Marietta Meeker, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Meeker, and their children
were John F. and Louis N. Emond, both of whom lived to
maturity and several years beyond.
Educated in the common schools of the district John
F. Emond worked on his father's farm until 1874 when
he purchased 160 acres of it. To this he later added a
couple of tracts and became one of the largest dealers and
pressers of hay in the county. In 1872 he married Matilda
Spohn and they had one daughter, Mary Belle Emond who
was twice married: First in 1909 to Walter Lashaw who
died in 1914; and, second to Anthony Webert in 1916,
from whom she separated in a few years.
Her father, John F. Emond, was one of the most
successful farmers in the town of Leray. He was a
staunch Democrat but for six years, 1898-1903 inclusive,
was supervisor of his town. He died April 26, 1909, and on
Dec. 9, 1912, his widow died. Their daughter, Mary Belle,
inherited the stone house and farm. When she died Oct.
25, 1938, the stone house, under the provisions of her will,
went to the town of Leray to be used as a town library,
there going with it a bequest of $500 for the purchase of
books. However, July 5, 1940, the town board passed a
resolution declining to accept the property on the ground
that it was in open country too far from villages and
would cost too much to maintain,
Anthony Webert, her second husband, died April 30,
1939, and on July 24, 1941, Walter Webert, Black River,
his administrator and sole distributee conveyed the stone
house and about two acres of land to Mr. Casey, the present
owner, employe of the New York Air Brake company,
who commutes daily to this city.
