There was a mailman named Harry Lawler, and he was postmaster at Ensenore and when it closed and moved to Scipio. Stay tuned!Sandie Stoker Gillilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676076901162099270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001555715537490916.post-74627317916225302932012-01-02T18:52:39.389-05:002012-01-02T18:52:39.389-05:00Sandie, it was interesting to learn the history of...Sandie, it was interesting to learn the history of Ensenore, a name that now seems to have sunk into relative obscurity from its local prominence in the late 19th and early 20th century. An example of Ensenore's prominence is given by the fact that some of the old weekly news columns recounting events in the eastern portion of Scipio during the later portion of this period were titled "Ensenore Heights." This area seemed to include at least the area between Wyckoff Road and today's Route 38, extending as far south as the Sherwood Road. I'm not sure how far north the name applied, though. <br /><br />Also, as late as 1917 our respective grandparents near the north end of Wyckoff Road had postal addresses listed as "Ensenore Scipio" in The Farm Journal Illustrated Rural Directory of Cayuga County New York 1917-1922. Perhaps the end of the Ensenore Post Office spelled the end for the name Ensenore being in everyday use in Scipio.<br /><br />Another note with reference to the Lehigh Valley Railroad (LVRR)is that it also extended north to Fairhaven in the town of Sterling on Lake Ontario where at one time coal from Sayre was transferred to ships or barges for transport on the lake. A locally important function of the LVRR was to take the milk produced by eastern Scipio dairy farms to market.Roger A. Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075198121535468781noreply@blogger.com
