"The Indian and the Pioneer" by Rose N. Yawger - published 1893 by W. Bardeen, Syracuse, N.Y.  "The few old landmarks of the early settlers which remain in Union Springs are being rapidly obliterated and it may not be considered out of place to locate a few of the more recent." "When the old, red stone building of Pierson's, on the corner of Cayuga and Mill streets, was torn down, it took some time--even with the help of the date of the building, 1810, found on the corner-stone--for the oldest inhabitant to recall that it was built by William Burling. Asa Burnham kept a store there. "

"In 1929 when the village was celebrating the 150th anniversary of settlement, Mabel Casey wrote:" "Recollections of Early Union Springs"  "The rest of the town was on Main street, reaching from Captain Cozzens' place (afterwards Mr. Arnold's) to John Yawger's tavern, which was on the site of the brick house afterwards built by Daniel Yawger, the brick house at the corner of Schoby and Cayuga Street.). There were four dry goods stores, (no groceries), the first north by Asa Burnham on the southwest corner of the street leading to the grist mill, in a stone building. He lived in the same building; another kept by Isaac Valentine, about half-way between Burnham's and one kept by Laban Hoskins, which was nearly opposite his residence; the fourth was John Mosher's which was about on the site of the Baptist church…" "Some of the first inhabitants were Captain Cozzens, Aunt Amy, then the widow White, and her mother, Aunt Lizzy Mosher. They had a row of poplar trees in front of their house, (about the only shade trees the village could boast. (Mary Jane Webb's home is that house.) Dr. John Mosher, Uncle Esek Mosher, Barney Kirby, a brother Joseph Kirby, Dr. Stephen Mosher, James Barker, Lurad Chamberlin, Jake Carr, Abel Finch, Laban Hoskins, Captain Earl, (Earl and Cozzens were retired sea captains), Wm. Burling, Isaac Valentine, Tim Bush, Asa Burnham, Elisha Southwick (he lived north across the street from Burnham's store), Isiah Fish, John Tayger…"
