Gorse Gray
1916-1918 Unique Delaware County NY Manuscript Auto Shop Ledger and Personal Diary of a Young Colchester Man Who Would Become an Elected Official in Laurens
Colchester Laurens Delaware County New York Rural New York. Fair with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a fascinating piece of Delaware County New York history held in one ledger book. The book contains the unique combination of a 1916 ledger kept by the staff of an auto mechanic garage in Colchester New York and the 1917-1918 personal diary of a young Colchester man who may have worked at the shop for a time. The book was used as a mechanic shop ledger between January 24 and July 30 1916. We believe the shop may have been owned by H. M. Barnhart. The ledger contains a ton of names from Delaware County along with notes on the services each person purchased from the shop the cost of gas oil labour car parts rides to and from their destinations and more. A large note at the bottom of the page following entries from June 29 reads: Gorse Gray left today June 29 1916 for Cleveland Ohio. There are then another 1.5 pages of mechanic shop ledger entries ending July 30 1916. The book then jumps to Sept 13 1917 and in Gorse Grays hand is written: Bought car 13 day of Sept 1917. The ledger book then continues as Grays detailed daily diary until December 31 1918. Gorse Simmons Gray 1892-1964 born in Downsville Delaware County New York to Charles and Mary Woodard Gray. Theirs was a farming family and along with his siblings Gorse was actively involved in farming operations. He married Anna Boyd 1900-1980 on Christmas Day 1918. Together they had six children five of whom lived to adulthood. Gorse became a machinist and woodworker. He was also elected to Laurens New York town office on the Republican ticket as collector town clerk and highway superintendent. A mystery of this ledger book is how it came into Gorse Grays possession. While the Gray family are listed as frequent customers at the shop particularly the patriarch Charles Gray and his farmhand Edwin J. Foote our diarist Gorse was still working in his family farming business in 1916 and did not become a mechanic until after he was married in 1918 so it is unclear how he ended up with the business ledger to use as his personal diary. Since he ultimately became a mechanic he may have been apprenticing at the shop in 1916. Grays diary provides insight into life in Delaware County in the early 20th century. In the course of his daily life and tasks Gray discusses Walton Delhi Shavertown Union Grove Ilion Clapton Pepacton Hobart and other nearby towns. He is working on his family farm and discusses the minutiae of that lifestyle as well as discussing the comings and goings of his siblings and other locals. He is dating Anna Boyd 1800-1880. Anna was a teacher who would later become a columnist for the Oneonta Star. As a whole this book is an absolute goldmine of information on the citizens and lifestyle in Delaware County. Some excerpts give the flavour of both the ledger and Grays diary: Geo Hoyt - 5 gallon gas 1.30 1 Gal T. Oil .50
. Archie Campbell - Bushings 0.55
. Ed. Smith 5 Gal Gas Paid 1.30
Gray and Foote 2 Gas Gal. .52
