Hello Folks:

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Fabius Historical Society is
honored to have Bill Farrell present his research on the origins of the names
of NYS towns and villages.  Bill's presentation will be on Monday Oct 7th,
2002 at 7:30 pm at the new Fabius Community Center.   Bill will be bringing
copies of his book "Classical Place Names in New York State: Origins,
Histories and Meaning" for those that may wish to purchase a copy. Fabius
Historical Society welcomes all that wish to attend.

A little backround and information on Bill Farrell:  Information taken from
Dick Case's article Syracuse Post Standard 3-10-2002.

Bill started gathering information of place names over 40 years ago got
serious after he retired from teaching in 1995.  Bill had been a
Fayetteville-Manlius High School History and Latin teacher.  Over the years
he has searched many references and found that no one had written the
complete history.

Bill can be reached by phone at (315) 637-3905 on on his website:
