Gilder' s farm (bought in 1848 by Henrietta' s father) was
on the Main Road , south of Soldier' s Monument , near what was
called "the run. " (Jockey Creek) It was less than twenty
acres and ran back to Oaklawn Ave . with the outbuildin-s , I
believe behind and a little north of the house . Gilder' s
son, John Jay, called it a typical Southold farm with the
usual livestock and an orchard. Gilder' s diary mentions that
he carted wood and coal from Greenport , "worked in the creek, "
"Pitched out the hog pen, " "killed grunters , " "salted pork
and ham, " and for days he went seaweeding. It was used to
insulate the foundations of the buildings . He and Etta went
"billberrying" (for huckleberries) , clamming and fishing.
Etta' s first time , she caught 17 fish, so guess she was
"hooked" too . Farmers used boats called sharpies . but in
winter they went eeling out on the ice in the creeks . Gilder
had a sleigh and they enjoyed sleigh rides . They didn't make
a big fuss at Christmas . His Dec . 25 entry; "Helped wife in
the house & worked around home . " And I love his earlier Jan.
lst entry, "lay I spend this year more as I ought than I did
the past year. "

x+76. Benjamin F. and Ella P. Prince House, Hauppauge. (he b. 1850, d. 1928)
Benjamin left Southold and went to work on a farm in Hauppauge. He saved enough
money to buy his own farm and this house on the east side of Wheeler Road.
Benjamin's mother and her second husband, Sam Weeks, probably lived in the small
house just visible beyond the front porch. Carrie Stayley, a niece lived there
after she retired from teaching in New York City. After Carrie's tenancy Banja-
min's son Mervin moved the little house to the west side of Wheeler Road and lived
it there until his death in 1966.
