Hi Scott,
 
David Ennis lived in Lyons, Wayne County, New York. He was  President of the 
Canal Society for many years. He and his wife Sally (native of  Conifer, New 
York..which is a "suburb" of Tupper Lake), lived just around the  corner from 
the Wayne County Museum. After his death Sally worked with the  County Museum 
as Education Director. 
 
Shortly before her death we were helping Sally clean her  barn.....amazing 
accumulation, Palmyra quilt, Rodgers group, cobalt decorated  pottery, and an 
original snubbing post from the Erie Canal....which I believe  went to 
California with her daughter.
 
Let me know if you need more.

Hi, Folks  
A pictorial history of Wayne County  includes a photo of a man with a 
microphone lecturing to some people on a  boat. The caption reads: 
"Trip on the Barge Canal with the Canal  Society. Dr. David Ennis indicates 
points of interest (1961)."  
The "Canal Society" is presumably the Canal  Society of New York State. 
People in the photo are wearing name tags with a  silhouette of New York State 
clearly visible. My question is whether anyone  can tell me who David Ennis is. He 
could be someone connected with the Canal  Society, an historian, or a local 
physician with an amateur interest in the  canal. Would the Canal Society have 
a record of this? 
Best regards, 
Scott Monje
