[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] years of age, leaving William and George, who now own the various estates and carry on the most exten-sive milk producing business in the town, if not in the county. They are the owners of some five or six farms, all of which are devoted to the production of milk. One of the brothers remains in New York City to sell the milk produced upon their estates at home. They employ many farm-laborers, generally foreign-ers, and conduct an extensive business. Fronting on the Croton Lake is an old-fashioned farm-house, which has witnessed the flight of many years. Ex-tending back to the northwest and north is a fertile farm. Its owner is Silas Gregory, a prominent and old resident of Somers. He does not at present occu-py his farm, leasing it to other parties and residing with his son-in-law in Yorktown. He has been close-ly identified with the town for sixty years. He was supervisor in 1847-52 and 1857, and has held some town office for over half a century. He was the man-ufacturer of the first iron mould-board plow, and had he obtained a patent thereon, would have been im-mensely weajthy. As it is, however, he is in com-fortable circumstances and leads a quiet life, surround-ed by all that makes life enjoyable and possessing the esteem of his fellow-townsmen. In a curve of the road north of the Gregory place, and nearer Whitehall Corner, is a neat, square, two-story farm-house, which is used as the polling-place for the Second Election District of Somers.
