Our story of the Dusenbury Family continues this week with the third Portville generation. Many of
lived past 1950. They followed many of the family's traditions started by their grandparents and their
parents.
We have some interesting photographs of Edgar G. Dusenbury's home at 49 Maple Avenue. Built
around the 1880's, Edgar G. and his wife Eloise had a huge mansion with elegant furnishings. Many
of our photos include the ornate interior of the home. This home was torn down in the early 1940s.
Anne Dusenbury has provided us with many photos of the Donald M. Dusenbury family in their
automobiles. It must have been muddy back in the early days; they wore protective clothing and
goggles!
