Its surface rises in gradual slopes from the water to the E. border, where it attains an elevation of 400 to 500 ft. Waterlime, plaster, and limestone used for flagging, are quarried along the shore of the lake and in the adjoining ravines. Two immense springs flow from the ground near the village, furnishing a valuable water-power. The soil is a superior quality of sandy and gravelly loam, in some places mixed with clay. The lake is so deep that it rarely freezes, and the warmth of the water essentially moderates the intensity of the frosts of winter. Union Springs (p.v.) is beautifully situated upon Cayuga Lake, S. of the center of the W. border of the town. It contains several manufactories, a private academy, and many fine residences. Pop. 1,118. The first settlement was made in 1800, by Frederick Gearheart, Thos. Thompson, and Jas. Carr. The first church (Cong.) was formed by Rev. Joshua Lane, the first preacher."

January 18, 1890? Union Springs Advertiser, Union Springs, NY "A Pleasant Call - Last evening a number of the members of the class of which David Salisbury is a member, of Wall street M. E. Church, called at his residence to congratulate him on the 91st anniversary of his birth. A pleasant hour was passed in social converse and several tokens of remembrance were left by Mr. Salisbury's friends with which he is highly gratified. Mr. Salisbury is remarkable smart for one his age. He is also a member of the Victorious Lodge of Good Templars, and is probably the oldest member of the order in the world. The above appeared in the Auburn Daily Advertiser. Mr. Salisbury has resided many years of his long and useful life in Union Springs, enlisting while here, in the late war, he served his time faithfully, and now receives a pension from the government. Mr. Salisbury's wife died several years since and an only daughter, Mrs. James Manchester, followed her about a month ago.

1892 Death Notice GenealogyBank.com Date: November 02, 1892 Location: New York Paper: Northern Christian Advocate Article type: Mortuary Notice "SALSBURY - David Salsbury died in Auburn, N. Y., at the residence of his son George Salsbury, Oct. 16, 1892, aged 93 years and 9 months. Brother Salsbury was born in Aurora, N. Y. - Jan. 17, 1799. He was converted in a meeting held in his native town many years ago and immediately united with the Presbyterian Church. He remained in that communion until his removal to Auburn, where he soon united with the Wall St. Methodist Episcopal church. While he was one of the most catholic-spirited men, he often expressed himself as more at home with the Methodists than he had been in his former relations. He loved the Wall St. church as a child loves its mother. He lived a full mile away and was quite feeble for years, and yet his seat in church was almost always filled on Sunday morning. For several years past he could not hear one word of the sermon, but he would say, 'I like to be in my place for I know what is going on, if I cannot hear'. He loved class and prayer-meetings and attended them till within four weeks of his death. He was not long ill and went into his last slumber as sweetly as a little child. He was ripe and ready for Heaven. M.S. Wells." |

Salisbury, 8 Steel St., on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 10 AM. Crocker Post invited to attend.

Salisbury, No. 8 Steel street, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The claim of the aged veteran seems to have been correct, as no one has disputed it. He was born January 17, 1799 in Ballston Springs, Saratoga county. In September 1862 he enlisted from Aurora in the 160th regiment and went to the front where he made a record in many of the fiercest battles of the rebellion. In July last he joined C. W. Crocker post, G. A. R. - Auburn Journal. The Advertiser begs to correct the Journal as to the place of enlistment, it was at Union Springs where Mr. Salisbury then resided. The Auburn Argus Friday, October 28, 1892 $1 per year “Remains of David Salisbury, who died in Auburn were removed to Union Springs for interment.” The Citizen Advertiser Auburn, NY Saturday, October 17, 1942 FIFTY YEARS AGO “David Salisbury, supposed to have been the oldest living member of the G.A.R., died at the home of his son, George W.
