RESIDENTS OF FAYETTEVILLE, NY, DURING THE 1940's

Fayetteville in the 1940's was a quiet village with a population of just over 2,000.  The nationwide post-WWII housing boom and improved roads, which made commuting to jobs in nearby Syracuse more practical, caused Fayetteville's population to double over the next three decades.  It is now a bustling and very desirable suburb, noted for its affluent citizenry, excellent schools, and very low crime rate.

What follows is a listing of families who lived in Fayetteville during the 1940's--the period before rapid growth.  This information has been gathered from old newspaper accounts, village directories, census records, various other governmental records, alumni lists, and from personal recollections.  While a good faith effort has been made to verify the accuracy of what is related here, often the records are incomplete or even contradictory, and confirmation is not possible.  Therefore, the information here must be considered as tentative, or suggestive, but certainly not definitive.

Anyone who can suggest changes, corrections, or additions, or who can provide any "clues" to the present whereabouts of those listed, is encouraged to do so.  You can send me email by clicking here.  You can also sign the Guestbook at the bottom of this page.  Thanks very much for your help and your interest.
