Interested in the History of, Your Home Town, PATCHOGUE, NY?

Who lived in your house in 1904?

This information is still available, and it is online!

A document called the, PATCHOGUE BUSINESS AND RESIDENTIAL DIRECTORY, was published in 1904 and can still be examined at the URL Link below.

I used this document and found out who the owners of my house were in 1904. I found out who the first two owners of my house were; both now rest in Cedar Grove Cemetery; just two blocks from my home.

An Advertisement from that Directory:

HYGEIA ICE CO. OF PATCHOGUE.

All typhoid's, all malarial, contagious, and organic diseases, are
