Notes:

Emerson J. Eddy, "Syracuse, son of George W. and Betsey (Crane) Eddy, was born in Pharsalia, Chenango Co., N.Y., April 1, 1848, and spent his early life on a farm. He was educated in the common schools of his native town and at the Cincinnatus Academy in Cortland Co., graduating from the latter institution in 1868, and in the fall of the same year came to Syracuse as a clerk in the dry goods store of Bennett Brothers. In the spring of 1869 he entered the employ of J. R. Billings, manufacturer of and dealer in tinware, etc., where he learned his trade. After two years Mr. Billings was succeeded by Smith & Ayers, and one year later Mr. Eddy and Charles Hyden purchased Mr. Smith's interest under the name of Ayers & Co. One year afterward the firm dissolved and the business was closed out. In 1871 Mr. Eddy established his present hardware store in the First ward and has since continued business alone, dealing in hardware, stoves, tinware, etc., and carrying on a general jobbing trade. He commenced in a small building which is still standing and occupied by him, and erected his present large brick block adjoining in 1889. He was supervisor of the First ward in 1885 and 1886, being chairman of the committee on villages the first year and chairman of the supervisors' committee the second year. He is a member of Central City Lodge No. 305, F. & A. M., of Central City Chapter No. 70, R. A. M., and of Central City Commandery No. 25, K. T., being the present commander of the latter body after having passed through nearly all of its chairs. He is also a member of all the Scottish Rite bodies and is now deputy master of the Lodge of Perfection. Mr. Eddy has taken an active interest in Masonry throughout the State and is distinguished by having had conferred upon him the 32d degree. He was one of the originators and a vice-president of the North Side Business Men's Association and prominently identified with the growth and prosperity of that section of the city.
