Aura WATERBURY

                       CONFLICT: 4 Jun and 14 of Jun are both given.

    Later he lived with his parents at Fabius, New York. As a young man he  worked
    in the lumber woods in the Adirondack Mountains, or "the north  woods" as the
    territory was called, cutting heavy logs, piling and binding  them into rafts
    ready to be floated down stream with the spring freshets  to the mills. It was
    a dangerous but exciting task to ride the rafts to  mill, and one requiring
    great skill. The art now exists only as a memory.  In later days Aura
    Waterbury delighted to recall in retrospect those days  "when men were men"
    and to relive for the benefit of the youth the  stirring events of his youth.

    Aura was a contractor and builder in a day when being a "carpenter" meant  far
    more than does such an applelation today. In those days the work now  done in
    mills by machinery was largely done by hand. Included in the hand  work were
    the making of doors and window sash, the shaving of shingles,  etc.

    They lived first in Friendship, then Belfast and later at Cuba.

    CONFLICT: 4 Jun and 14 of Jun are both given.
