• Notes

  Notes by Julia Otto Wallace written April 1, 2000 About Aunt Lillian, she married Charles Plattenburgh, who had studied for the ministry and advanced to be the Minister of the largest Methodist church in Philadelphia. They had two children, Adelaide and Josephine. Adelaide was pretty, Josephine was a beauty with her mother being as partial to this as peaches and cream young woman she produced that poor Adelaide was completely passed over. Josephine married a man with money, who';s name was Rex. However, she had trouble keeping her marriage together. Adelaide's married last name was Ames. She had four children, some of which I believe were adopted. They had a very happy married life and the last I heard had moved to California where they had an Avocado Farm. However, this was an added career since they were retired, I believe that he taught. But, back to Charles Plattenburgh. He had a roaming eye and unfortunately it did not stop there, for they found him up in the balcony with the organist and they weren't in conversation. So he was gracefully retired or asked to leave. So he became a lecturer on a well known circuit (but I don't know which one). He and Aunt Lil would drive from city to city and apparently had a very interesting life touring the country. A correction about my Great Grandmother, Juliette Saphronia . She was not born in Patchogue, but in Ridge and Aunt Ida pointed out the little house to me. There were other laws in the area and Ida didn't now them . Also, her real name as I saw on her baptismal certificate was "Juliette".
