The Connely family held a reunion at Ludlow, Pennsylvania, August 31, 1912, at the home of James Connely, assisted by his father William A. Connely and his brother Wales. A ledger kept by their ancestor Isaac Connely was exhibited, and showed accounts kept by him in 1793; the entries were made in pounds-shillings and pence, and showed the retail price of wheat was fifty-four cents a bushel and buck-wheat twenty-eight cents a bushel. Officers elected were: Martin Connely of Stow, N. Y., President; Lyman Shattuck of Pleasantville, Pa., VicePresident; Mrs. Margaret Shattuck of Pleasantville, Secretary; Claude Field, Treasurer; O. F. Chase of Jamestown, N. Y., Historian. The committee arranged for a meeting to be held August 11, 1913, on Lake Chautauqua, near Stow, N. Y., where the history of the family from 1747 to 1826 will be reviewed. Among those present at Stowe, N. Y., August 23, 1913, were: Mr. and Mrs. James A. Connely, Luella, Ethelyn, Burnall, Mr. and Mrs. Wales Connely and William Connely of Ludlow; Dr. and Mrs. H. P. Copeland and daughter, Phylis, of Cumberland, Md.; Mrs. Pearl Bowers and three children, of Tulsa, Okla.; Mrs. Margaret Shattuck and daughter, of Pleasantville; Mr. and Mrs. Claud Fields, of South Wales, N. Y.; Max Field, of Guthrie, Okla.; Miss Genevieve Getty, of Cumberland, Md.; Mrs. Ralph Copeland, of Blaine, W. Va.; Mrs. Amelia Connely, of Pleasantville; Charles Brant, of Titusville, and Orlin Connely, of Lima, Ohio. P ADDRESS BY O. F. CHASE AT SYLVAN PARK, Relatives and Friends: Aug., 1913. We had the pleasure of attending the Connelly Reunion last year on August 31 at Ludlow and participating in the unbounded hospitality of James Wales and Wm. Connelly, assisted by their wives and families. We wrote a short account at the time which was published in the Jamestown Journal. The report did not have to be put on ice to keep over one year, historic matters unlike perishable fruit but like wine, the longer they are kept over, the better they become. For the benefit of some who may not have seen it-and at the risk of repetition of what may be offered by the secretary or others-I will read: From the report you will observe that I was chosen historian for this occasion. I am frank to confess that the material I may have had to offer for your entertainment as history or genealogy would have been sadly lacking had it not been for some items furnished me by Mrs. Ettie Smith, daughter of Melissa Knight and grand-daughter of my Aunt Susan McGee Smith, who was the daughter of Isaac Connelly 2d. These records were given her by her grandmother Susan Connelly McGee Smith, excerps of which I take pleasure in giving to you. I have the same picture here of Isaac Connelly, 1st which was exhibited at the reunion one year ago. Of his ancestors I have no record-I am sure there is no Connelly here that is not more than willing to claim the original of the handsome benign face exhibited in this picture as their far away progenitor. On the tombstone of Isaac Connelly 1st, buried at Stewarts Run, there is engraved the following: "Tribute of respect," to the memory of Isaac Connelly who departed this life July 4th, 1823, aged 76 years, an Isrealite indeed, in whom there was no guile. From the above record we learn that he was born in 1747. The biography continues, he was married three times; the first |
