[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] occupations of farmer and store-keeper. He was clerk of the town for the first six years of its existence as a township. He also became the owner of the prop-erty afterward owned by Harvey M. Todd. William Horton's daughter Mary was born here, and married Samuel Teed. This branch of the Horton family afterwards removed to North Salem, where they still reside. Charles G. Teed now owns the estate. It is a large and valuable property. The location was for many years known as Teed's Corners. It is at the in-tersection of Lovell Street with the Peekskill road, two miles from Somers village and one-quarter of a mile from Somers Centre depot. The residence is a fine, large, square, two-story and attic dwelling, sur-rounded on three sides by a broad verandah, situated-in the centre of an ample, well-shaded lawn, and kept constantly in the best possible condition. The farm is a most excellent one and is highly cultivated. For many years a store and blacksmith and wheelwright shops were located here, but these have all passed away. The view from the piazza of the residence is beautiful, embracing the Plum Brook Valley, the village of Somers, two miles away, and the North Salem hills
