Notes:

From Ontario County Journal 16 March 1894

Another of Canandaigua's old residents has passed away, Sydney S. Burgher, aged 65 years. Mr. Burgher died at his home on Howell street after an illness of about four weeks. He had been in feeble health for two years past, but it was not until about four weeks ago that he was compelled to remain in bed. Since that time the disease from which he died, consumption, had been closing its grip upon him, and his death was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Burgher was born in the eastern part of this town February 11, 1829, and was the youngest child in a family of nine. He remained at home upon his father's farm until he was eighteen years of age, when he came to this village and began as an apprentice the carpenter trade. After several years of apprenticeship, he went into the business for himself, which he continued for about twelve years. In 1866 he opened a planing mill on Chapin street, which he conducted successfully for about eleven years. He then took as partner George T. Thompson, and a few years later the mill was removed to Bemis street. Eight years ago he sold his interest in the business to Mr. Thompson, who still conducts it. He retired from active life for a few months, when, believing there was an opening in Canandaigua for a grocery store, he purchased the business of the late L. B. Gaylord, then lately deceased. Having had no experience in the business, he took as a partner Martin H. Ferguson, but the partnership was dissolved after a duration of one year and nine months. About three years ago he moved to the store lately occupied by him. In 1852 he married Matilda Wilson, who survives him. He was a member of Canandaigua lodge 224, F. and A. M. The funeral services will be held at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow (Saturday) morning, at his late residence on Howell street, and the interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery.
