First Mayor of Aitamont

No rrwlfpr how Important 'a man, a few yearn after hj» parsing, the

* memory of dim Is buried in oblivion. Great and near-great meet the mimo fate- unless in some future day, dual covered obituaries are djgebverea and presented for the information and enjoyment of the current grm-oration. With our recent attention dl reeled toward electing a new mayor of the incorporated viiiage of Aita­mont, it Js our belief a short history of .our first mayor, 65 years would be interesting,

A man who ago,

,,,„/ could reprmont the Town of GuiJderiand on the Board of

Supervisors for ten years, preside over that body for several years, win the election to the State Assembly for three terms, be chosen first mayor of the incorporated village of Altamont and hold that office for eight years, besides maintaining for 47 year's a successful legal practice, mu»t have been an extraordinary'jndfvidual.

HJram Griggs was born in Esper­anto, Schoharie county, March 18, 3836. His father, John P. Griggs, moved later to the old Col. Peter Vrooman house still standing near the bridge below the Stone Fort at Schoharie, where he ran a mill on the Foxewkiil. He was president of th« Schoharie County Agricultural So ciety when it held a fair in Middle-burgh, one year before either the Schoharie or CobleskiB. fairs Were organized.

The boy, Hiram, •attended the fam­ous Schoharie Academy and in 1860 entered the law office of Hobart Krum of Schoharie as a law student. Already established as one of the most brilliant and successful lawyers in that part of the country, "Hobe" Krum would gate prestige during the years, becoming leader of the Re­publican Party affairs as well as State Senator from that district. To be

. associated with; his law office was al­most a guarantee for .a successful future- Many noted attorneys such as our own townsman, the Hon. P. C. Dugan* began their training there.

Meanwhile-, his parents had pur­chased and occupied a farm at the north end of KnowersviBe (Altamont) on the Bozenkfll road, coinodentally __u__sg/ m at? area |ihe land of our retiring vffltage mayor,, Edwin W.
