Lydia Land and her son Law Land

Lydia Law Land, bought property in Hauppauge/Smithtown in 1899. Lydia's son, Law Land, and his wife, Elizabeth, and their children moved from Jersey City, New Jersey to Hauppauge circa 1900, where they where listed in the 1900 census. They continued to live in Hauppauge until Law's death in 1926.

Lydia Land was born in England and lived in Philadelphia. Why she bought property in Huappauge is a mystery.

Percy Land and Meta Petermann

Percy and Meta lived in Hauppauge/Smithtown/Islip from their marriage in 1908 until circa 1920 when they moved to 101 North Country Road, Smithtown. Percy died in 1950 and Meta continued to live at 101 North Country Road until her death in 1973.

In 1874 Hauppauge was described as a settlement of about 40 houses. It contained a post office, three stores, a school and the Methodist church.

In 1893 the state reported that Hauppauge had built a new school building.

In 1898 Hauppauge has a three feet wide cycling path that extended to Brentwood.

This photo was taken from Smithtown, New York, 1660-1929 where they give credit to the collection of Bud Land. I do not know where the original is. Copies of this image were also published in One Hundred Years of Methodism at Hauppauge published in 1906 where it is stated that the church was built in 1812 ans remodeled in 1895

Behind this church is the burial plot of the family of Law Land and Elizabeth Sykes Land.

Methodist Church of Hauppaugue

There was a Methodist congregation in Hauppauge from the late 1700s which met in private homes or in the little school house west of Donaldson's store. A building fund for the church in 1809 contained nearly a hundred names. The church was build over time with members of the congregation getting timber, sawing planks and helping in the general construction. At first the inside of the church was unfinished and the pews were simple slabs of wood without backs. There was no heat except for the foot warmers that members of the congregation brought with them. Gradual changes were made over the years. The steeple was added in 1895.

The congregation was separated by sex until just after the Civil War. Men and women entered by separate doors and sat on separate sides of the church.

In 1906 Mrs. Law Land was on the board of stewards and was president of the Junior League.

In 1936 Clarence Land was a Trustee of the Church.

Notes

  • I believe that this is the same house as the one that is visible in the image of the second Donaldson Store below.
  • The Hauppauge Methodist Church is visible on the left behind the large tree.
  • Did the Donaldson Store stand between the house pictures above and the church?

The Smithtown Library has three different copies of the image.

  1. A version in postcard format that show only the house and barn but did show more of the road. However, this image did not scan well and was rather hard to read when saved for the web.

    Written on the back was the following information

  2. Another postcard version called "View of Main Road, Hauppauge LI" that was sent to Anna Petermann, 36 Second Street, Hoboken, N.J. in September 1906 and reads
    Dear Anna, I'm having a swell time, Ethel
    This card was donated to the Library by Helen Land in 1993.

    Ethel was the daughter of Law Land and Elizabeth Sykes. Ann Petermann was the sister of Meta Peterman who married Ethel's brother, Percy Land.

  3. The third image was that from the cover of the Long Island Forum. Printed under the image
    Rural scenes and ancient houses still abount on our island and now is the time of year to start exploring. Even rapidly expanding Hauppauge, where this photograph was taken some years ago, still offers such vista.

" The Oaks near the Church, reserved by the late Judge Joshua Smith as a shade for the tying place for horses and used as such until the Church sheds were built."

Hauppauge, Donaldson Store


Donaldson's Store, Hauppauge

Wallace Donaldson's Store and residence. Also the village post office. The building was struck by lightning and burned at 11:30 p.m.

August 10th, 1904. Store broken open on the night of Jul 16, 1907.

The Donaldson property was on the north side of Town Line Road at the intersection of Wheeler Road (Rte 111) and just east of the Methodist Church.

Postcard collection of Helen Land, now in the possession of Maggie Land Blanck

The Smithtown Historical Society says:

Hauppauge LI For thirty-four years the Village Store, Post Office and Residence of Wallace Donaldson. Struck by lightning and burned at 11:30 August 10, 1904
In August 1904 the Brooklyn Eagle reported the large general store of Wallace Donaldson & sons was struck by lightning and "totally destroyed, together with all its contents." The fine old residence of the Donaldsons adjoining was also consumed."

The two buildings were described as being separated only by a narrow wagon way. The loss was estimated at $20,000 insurance was "light".

Helen Land said that Percy Land's company built the second Donaldson store. I think that the 1904 date is too early for Percy to have had his own construction company in time to have built the second Donaldson store. However, according to the Smithtown Historical Society, the second Donaldson store was also destroyed by fire. Percy did rebuilt the Benstock grocery and hardware store in Islip, see Central Islip.

Helen Land gave a copy of this image to the Smithtown Library in Feb 1993. The card she donated was addressed to Miss Meta Petermann 36 Second Street Hoboken NJ but was not sent. The hand writing was not Percy's.

1916: Friday 21,

During the electric storm last Thursday, the Post Office and general store of W. W. Donaldson was struck and in less than an house had burned to the ground. The bolt of lightning entered the rear of the store near the oil tanks. Through the efforts of a bucket brigade the surrounding buildings and the home of W. J. Hubbs, next door, were saved.

Residence of W. W. Donaldson, Hauppauge, LI, no date.

Note: While this images is labeled "Residence of W. W. Donaldson, Hauppauge, LI" it does not match the other images designated as Donaldson. Is this image William Wallace Donaldson's house on Wheeler Road?

Wallace Donaldson born 1837 was postmaster in Hauppauge in 1898 and 1910. Wallace Donaldson was listed in the 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1910 censuses. His son, William Wallace Donaldson, was born circa 1859. He was listed in the 1880 census but not in the 1900 and 1910 censuses according to Ancestry.com.

William W. Donaldson postmaster was listed on Hauppauge Ave in Islip in the 1920 census. Listed with him were his wife wife, Helen J age 60 and his mother Mary F age 87

Wallace Donaldson died in 1911. He was succeeded as post master by his son, William, who had been deputy post master for 35 years. William W. Donaldson born in Hauppauge in 1859 died in Hauppauge in 1925 of pneumonia. He was survived by his widow, Helen and three sons, Clinton of Freeport, N. Y., Wallace W. of Tampa, Fla and Dr. Blake F of Manhattan. William Donaldsons' widow, Helen, was listed on Wheeler Road in Hauppauge in 1930.

Helen Scott Donaldson, widow of William W. Donaldson and beloved mother of Clinton S Wallace and Blake F. Donaldson, died on Monday July 31, 1944 in Hauppauge.

Land Property in Hauppaugue

Becker Hyde map circa 1906 courtesy of the Smithtown Library Long Island Room, C Ball, 2006

In 1902 the Long Islander reported real estate transfers: "Lydie Land to Law Land lot --- highway Hauppaugue" (wrinkle in page)

In August 1902 the Sayville Suffolk County News reported recent transfers of real estate: "Lydie Land to Law Land, lot north of side highway, $200."

The above map circa 1906 showing where the Lands lived (marked with "x"). Mrs C Land (Victoria Grace Land, the wife of Clarence Land) was listed on Town Line Road. L (Law) Land was listed on Blydenburgh Road. I have indicated the Methodist Church with "c", Wheeler Road with "w" Town Line Road with"t" and Blydenburgh Road with "b".

Based on a map circa 1902 the property on Town Line Road was that which Lydia Law Land bought in 1899 and sold to her son, Law Land, in 1901. Law Land bought the property (25 acres) on Blydenburgh Road in 1903.

At the time of this map Percy and Meta Land were not married. The 1910 Census showed them on Hauppauge Road with Wallace Donaldson and Warren J Hubbs on one side and George Cornish on the other which most likely means that they were in the row of houses very close to the Methodist Church.

The 1910 Census shows Law, Elizabeth and younger children in East Hauppauge on Smithtown Landing Road, between Blacklock, then Soper/Chidester, then Law and Elizabeth, then Clarence and Victoria, the Tyler, which means they were in or next to the house listed under Mrs. C Land in the above map. Despite the fact that it is called Smithtown Landing Road, I believe that the neighbors indicate that they were on what was usually called Town Line Road.

Locustdale Brooklyn Home for Children, Hauppauge, LI, no date

In 1907 Joseph Blydenburgh sold his property at the corner of Hauppauge Road and Townline Road to the Brooklyn Industrial School Association who ran a summer program for over 200 children on the site. The facility was in operation for 47 years.

In November 2009 Vera Karger wrote:

From about 1941 through about 1946 I was a resident of the Brooklyn Home for Children which was a new facility in Forest Hills. In summer we came to Locustdale.

On another site I visited there was a statement made that Locustdale housed "wayward children!" I was appalled to read that, as at least during the years I was there, none of the children were wayward, but all came from some type of what was then called a broken home. I

From Locustdale we also walked about 3 miles to Lake Ronkonkoma to go swimming. Those of us who walked there got a ride returning to camp, and vice-versa. On the walk there was a beautiful lily pond, with icy water where we dangled our feet on a hot summer day.

Noted on back: Mrs. Nichols, Hauppauge, no date

There was an old Nichols Road in Hauppauge. In addition there were 16 Nichols buried in the Methodist Cemetery in Hauppauge between 1819 and 1922. Preston Nichols labourer/gardner and his family (including his wife Mary) were in Hauppauge in 1900, in Kings Park in 1910, at Head of the Harbor in 1920 and back in Hauppauge in 1930.

While this photo is not dated it should be noted that the road is paved.

I do not know whose house this is. The Sherrys and Wulperns lived in Jersey City, New Jersey. However, Anna Peterman Wulpern's sister was Meta Petermann Land. The dog, Echo, belonged to Meta and Percy Land. Percy and Meta, Percy's parents, Law and Elizabeth Land, and all of Percy's siblings lived in Hauppayge around the time this photo was taken in 1909.

Hauppauge, Wheeler Family Cemetery


The Wheeler family were among the oldest settlers in Hauppauge. Other early families included: Smith, Blydenburgh, Wood, Rolph, Hubbs, Price and McCrone. In August 2016 Ron Linfonte and his son, Kyle, spent some time cleaning up the Wheeler Family cemetery which had become totally overgrown. Ron shared the following images, before and after.

In September 2016 Ron Linfonte wrote:

Here is an updated plot burial map and listings. Through our research, we uncovered one previously unknown or unmentioned family member which we added as well as name corrections that were mistakes going back years! Two were misidentified as Smiths, but they are in fact Wheelers! By using the LI Surname Geneology site, we were fortunate to match up misidentified burials with birth and death records to finally, after 250 years, have the final resting places of all of the family members with correct name spellings and locations.

Also, since the gravestone of the origional patriarch of the Wheeler family, Thomas, is no longer readable, it is fitting that we replace it with a new stone. We are starting a fund raiser for this in Hauppauge soon!

"This photo is of two of the girls from Camp Locustdale (and therefore, from the Brooklyn Home for Children in Forest Hills, NY)....who are seen sitting in front of Kimbrick's store. At the right of the photo is a large open field where occasionally cows would pass through; and beyond that across the road was Locustdale."

In March 2014 Waren Hubbs wrote:
"Actually the property directly to the right (east) of Kimbrick's General Store belonged to the Olivie's and was originally the early Hubbs Home. I remember this house well and as a child visited Annie Olivie and her daughter Suzzi Olivie often there. Just to the east of the house was an open field (NW corner of Townline Rd. & Rt. 111 as it parts from Townline Rd. heading north to Smithtown) that they may be talking about but I never saw livestock there."
The 1940 census listed Annie D Olivie age 59, widow, on Hauppauge Road and her daughter Susie M age 28. The 1910 census listed Warren J. Hubbs age 67, widow, farmer, private farm, William A Olivie 29, farmer general, Annie D Olivie 29 and Mary Haynes age 75, sister in law on Hauppauge Road.

1933: Doris Anne Kimbrig age 2 the daughter of Jacob Kimbrig was struck by a truck and killed in front of the Hauppauge General Store owned by her parents.

Jacob Kimbrig was born in Romania 22 June 1884. He immigrated to New York and became a citizen in Brooklyn in the U S District Court in 1905. He was the son of Moses Kimbrig a mattress make and his wife, Sophie. His siblings were: Rose, Tobie, and Max. According to his WWI Draft Registration he was of medium height and build with brown eyes and black hair.

Jacob Kimbrig died in Hallandale Florida in 1873.

Was Jacob Kimbrig in the old Donaldson store? In the 1900 census Warren Hubbs, farmer, was listed next to William Donaldson, merchant. In 1910 Warren Stubbs was listed next to Wallace Donaldson, post master, general store. In 1915 Warren Hubbs was next to Edward Smith grocer and Mary Donaldson age 80, not occupation listed. No grocer was listed next to Warren Hubbs in 1920, although Edward Smith was listed next to Warren Hubbs without an occupation given. NO grocer was listed next to Warren Hubbs in the 1925 census.

Wallace Donaldson born 1837, postmaster in Hauppauge since 1867, died in 1922. See William Wallace Donaldson
