From the 144th Annual Rockwell Reunion Book:
At the time of Samuel Alonzo's diaries dated 1874 and 1882 his parents were living on the road between LeRoy and Granville Center on a site called Mountain Home. Samuel Alonzo was a farmer, teacher, active in the church and the grange, a fairly new organization at the time, was some sort of road supervisor, active in political circles having served in community offices, as Mercantile Appraiser of Bradford County, and was also the Sunday school superintendent at the church in Granville. He was a stern looking man, but a kindly one. He seems to be a man who took a special interest in helping his children and his neighbors, a man who loved to sing and loved music and writing. He did not serve in the Civil War. A certificate of exemption for a drafted person on account of disability was found. It certifies that he had been carefully examined and was found to be unfit for military duty by reason of chronic rheumatism. According to his diaries he had some "bad" days, but nevertheless always seemed to overcome any feelings of illness or depression and continued his daily life.
