• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Notes for LORENZ GEORGE WEIS: Lorenz Weis was responsible for Edgewood Avenue in Rochester, NY being named Edgewood. As a child, he decided to name the road Edgewood because the road passed several woods, and he put up a sign to that effect. [Source: Weis family history compiled by Lawrence P. Weis (Lawry) between 1978 and 1993 and entitled "Early 20th Century - How It Looked to Me"] Lorenz was a volunteer fireman at the 12 Corners station until he died. He was a "polished" man; when he's work in the yard he would always wear gloves. [Source: stories told by Mary Rodman Haefner and Mable Weis Wing to Jean (Bunny) Rodman in the mid-1990's]
