• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Notes for JOSEPH M. WEIS: Joseph lived his entire life in the house in which he was born (940 Edgewood Avenue in Brighton). He worked for several years as a nurseryman for Chase Brothers Nursery but left the firm to take over the family farm when his father died. [Source: his obituary in a Rochester newspaper] Joseph and his wife Barbara Guck Weis, his sister Margaret K. Weis (Maggie) and her husband John Rodman, and his brother Frank Weis and his wife Margaret Keyes (Maggie) Weis all lived on adjoining farms, each with its own speciality. Joseph's farm was adapted for market garden crops because it had better built-in tile drainage. John's farm was adapted to dairy farming, and Frank's was adapted to field crops such as grains. Joseph was said to be the best sausage maker among the three men, while John was the best carpenter, and Frank considered himself to be the "big operator" of the threesome.
