The One Hundred and Twenty-seventh NY Infantry, known as the National Volunteers or Monitors, was principally recruited on Long Island

and in New York City, where it was mustered into the U. S. service Sept. 8. 1862, and left

two days later for Washington. It served during the siege of Suffolk in the spring of 1863

in Hughston’s (3d) brigade, Gurney’s division, and in June was engaged in minor affairs

at Diascund bridge and at Nine-mile Ordinary, Va. In August it was ordered to South

Carolina, where it participated in the various operations about Charleston harbor in 1863,

including the siege of Fort Wagner and the bombardment of Fort Sumter, attached to the

1st brigade, Gordon’s division, 10th corps. It was present during the actions at Bull’s island

in March, 1864, and at Fort Johnson in July, sustaining its first severe loss at the battle

of Honey Hill, S. C. in November, its casualties in this action amounting to 7 killed, 49

wounded and 15 missing. It was then serving in Potter’s (1st) brigade, Hatch’s division, and

was again warmly engaged at Deveaux neck in December, losing 14 killed, 67 wounded,

and 3 missing. Shortly after the evacuation of Charleston, the regiment was detailed by

order of Gen. Sherman for permanent city garrison, on account of its good reputation for

discipline, Col. Gurney being appointed post commander. It was there mustered out on

June 30, 1865. The regiment left for the war about 1,000 strong, and returned home with

25 officers and 530 men. It lost by death during service 35 men killed in action; 1 officer

and 94 men died of disease and other causes, a total of 130.

“BIG BUSINESS IN A SMALL TOWN” through NOVEMBER 27The Southold Historical Society presents “Big Business in a Small Town” — an exhibit of historic photographs of local businesses taken at the time the businesses opened, in the Society’s Reichert Family Center’s Cosden Price Gallery. 54127 Main Road, Southold. The exhibition will be on view Thursdays through Sat-urdays 1-4pm, additional hours upon inquiry. For additional info: 631-765-5500. Do you remember Bush’s Department Store in Greenport, Stepnoski’s Sugarette in Southold, Cliff’s Garage in Cutchogue, Smith’s Food Market in Peconic or the original Mattituck Bowling Alley? This exhibit features memorable photographs from the Society Collection as various 20th century stores and shops appeared in our town. Two local photographers captured these images. Charles Meredith (1889 - 1966) residing in Cutchogue was a photographer of daily life in Southold Town. His images from the 1930s through the mid-1960s, led to the creation of an archive containing thousands of images, including parades, accidents, funerals, and locales. Frank K Harley (1881 - 1943) was a photographer based in Green-port, NY. Hartley captured images of everyday life on the North Fork, with a par-ticular focus on Greenport. The majority of the glass-plate negative images in this collection date from about 1890 through 1910.

POETRY fOR PEACE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 15For the 9th year youngsters of the North Fork are invited to submit an original poem related to Peace. Teachers at schools from Orient to Mattituck and Shelter Island are invited to have their classes write and submit poems. Judges will be pub-lished poets Vivian Eyre, Billy Hands and LB Thompson. Readings by outstanding young poets will be held in the Community Room of the Floyd Memorial Library, Greenport at 2:00 p.m. The sponsoring organizations, North Fork Reform Syna-gogue and Congregation Tifereth Israel, hope to bring the focus of youth on peace and harmony as expressed in their own poetic language.

ESTATE PLANNING, ELDER LAW AND WEALTH MANAGEMENTSUNDAY, NOV. 15

The Men’s Club of Congregation Tifereth Israel in Greenport invites the public to attend a program focused on estate planning, elder law and wealth management at 11:30 a.m., in the community room of the synagogue. Guest speakers are H. Lee Blumberg, managing partner of the 75-year-old law firm of Blumberg, Cherkoss, Fitz Gibbons and Blumberg, LLP, of Amityville, New York, and Joshua Blumberg, a part-ner in the firm. Following the presentation, the speakers will respond to questions from the audience. Light refreshments will be served. H. Lee Blumberg has nearly 50 years of experience in the areas of wills, trusts and elder law, among other legal fields. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and its law school. His son, Joshua Blumberg, who represents the third generation of Blumbergs in the firm, is experienced in a wide array of legal fields, including elder law and wealth protections. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Tu-lane Law School. The synagogue is located at 519 Fourth St., immediately south of the intersection of Fourth and Front Streets in Greenport. For more information on the program, call the synagogue at 631-477-0232.

“WATERCOLOR ARTISTS Of THE NORTH fORK” EXHIBITThe Suffolk County Historical Society is pleased to announce the opening of Water-color Artists of the North Fork, a special exhibition of the work of local watercolor artists Bernard Springsteel from Southold and Ralph Fanning of Riverhead at the So-ciety’s Weathervane Gallery beginning on Wednesday, November 18 at 10:00 a.m. The show, which will run through mid- to late January 2016, will feature watercolors depicting Long Island’s beautiful North Fork and other subjects. Bernard Springsteel taught himself to paint with watercolors as a young man when he went to Nantucket on a vacation. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute, where he received a BFA in illustration and graphics. He went on to a successful career in the art direction business, working for Good Housekeeping magazine (1969-1980) as well as Mothers Today, Working Parents, and McCall magazine. Ralph Fanning (1889-1971), a watercolor artist and art historian, was born in Riv-erhead. A Quaker, Fanning served in France in compassionate non-military service during World War I. In the 1920s, he joined the Ohio State University Art Dept., becoming a full professor in 1924 after having earned master’s degrees in both art history and architecture. A skilled artist, Fanning taught the history of American and European art at Ohio State for 37 years. Often referred to by colleagues and students as “Mr. Art Historian,” Fanning had an energetic and stylistic approach to lectures, and in between lectures, he could be found in his office doing quick 12-minute paint-ings before his next class. Many of Fanning’s paintings give a historic perspective, taking us back to an earlier time. Fanning is quoted as once saying, “With a sketch pad, you learn more about people and places that you would find it hard to learn otherwise.” Fanning was recognized for his artwork and teachings as well as his hu-manistic and articulate personality.The show will be on display in the Weathervane Gallery of the Suffolk County His-torical Society, located at 300 West Main Street in Riverhead. The Gallery is open to the public on Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm. Admission is free. For further information please contact the Society at (631) 727-2881.


MENORAH LIGHTING SUNDAY DECEMBER 6Continuing a lovely tradition, North Fork Reform Synagogue [NFRS] is invited to light the Chanukah Menorah at the Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Society on Cutchogue Green on Rt. 25. The event takes place at 4:00 p.m. and the public is invited to attend. A brief ceremony including an explanation of the holiday and a prayer to accompany the lighting will be led by Barbara Sheryll after which all are invited to bring their own Menorahs across the street to the synagogue for a group lighting. Sing some songs and enjoy light refreshments. To continue the ‘oil’ theme it is customary to serve fried foods such as donuts. NFRS is located in the home it shares with the Cutchogue Presbyterian Church. The holiday honors the memory of the re-dedication of the Holy Temple which had been desecrated in the 2nd century BCE. Only enough oil to burn for a single night was found but the lamp burned for 8 nights and was considered a miracle.

HOLIDAY fAIR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5The Southold Historical Society Annual Holiday Fair will take place at the Peconic Recreation Center, 970 Peconic Lane, Peconic, from 9am to 4pm. All proceeds from the fair will go toward the repair of the Merganthaler linotype machine, housed in the Society’s Robert E. Long Print Shop. Specially selected vendors will have a variety of holiday gifts and cards available for purchase. In addition there are a number of different activities planned. The Railroad Museum of Long Island will erect a elaborate model train display. For children, there will be face-painting, a craft room, and Santa Claus will be on site – distributing small gifts to the children. Children can have their photo taken with Santa and will receive a print free of charge. The day’s activities will be rounded out with a bake sale of homemade delicacies and a café for those who get hungry during their visit. A raffle of prize items and baskets will feature goods donated from variety of local merchants, farmers, and local artists. Among the raffle items are gift certificates to local restau-rants and stores, baskets of Long Island wine, selections of hand-made candies and treats, as well as specially prepared items from local farms, including Catapano’s and Krupski’s. For more information on this or other Society programs, please contact the Southold Historical Society at (631) 765-5500.

HANUKKAH MENORAH LIGHTING SUNDAY DECEMBER 6Congregation Tifereth Israel invites Jews and non-Jews to Mitchell Park at 5 p.m., to witness the unveiling and lighting of a new menorah, constructed by artisan furniture maker David Nyce. The lighting will take place on the first night of the eight-night observance of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. In the spirit of ecu-menism, the menorah will remain lighted throughout the holiday season, sharing the park with Greenport Village’s Christmas tree. Rabbi Gadi Capela, spiritual leader of the synagogue, will lead those attending the menorah lighting ceremo-ny in prayers and songs of the holiday. Scheduled to participate in the Mitchell Park program are Greenport Mayor George Hubbard, synagogue president Alan Garmise, and other local dignitaries. Following the ceremony, all are invited back to the synagogue for refreshments, including traditional potato latkes (pancakes), dessert and beverages. The new menorah is constructed of red cedar, known for its durability and resis-tance to harsh weather. The piece is approximately seven feet tall, four and a half feet wide, and stands on a base of steel tubing that has been cut, heated and bent into its present shape. The steel will be powder coated, making it impervious to weather. In describing the new menorah, David Nyce said, “I am inspired by the beauty in nature that surrounds us, and this appreciation influences the work I do. To me, this menorah represents a blooming plant, with the lighted portion open-ing at the top of the metal base, almost as a flower.” For more information call the synagogue at 631-477-0232.

THANKSGIVING IS A WORD Of ACTIONThis November, many families in the East End are thankful for something special: the gift of their friendship with a New York City child. Each sum-mer, close to 4,000 New York City children from low-income communities visit suburban, rural and small town communities across the Northeast and Canada

through The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program. By volunteering as a host family for summer 2016, the spirit of Thanksgiving can continue in your home throughout the year. Fresh Air children are boys and girls who live in New York City. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips. Through the eyes of Fresh Air children, families often rediscover the beauty of their own communities. Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has pro-vided free, enriching summer experiences and academic programs for more than 1.8 million children from high needs New York City neighborhoods.

I became very serious about photography after retiring from my 40-year career in communications and mov-ing from Columbus, Ohio to the North Fork in 1998, where my wife had owned a house in Jamesport since 1978. Almost two years ago, we moved to Mattituck with our 10 cats and one dog. I have been showing my work at the library for more than 10 years.”
