Adsit, Samuel B., is the youngest of nineteen children of Sylvanus Adsit, who was reared in Oneida county, of Dutch parentage, served in the war of 1812, and came to Redfield in 1844. He bought and cleared a farm east of the village, where he lived until 1879, when he came to the village and died in 1881. He married twice, first Catherine Cramer, by whom he had sixteen sons and one daughter. His second wife was Hannah Bronson, who was the widow of J. Reed, by whom she had one son, James, now living in Wisconsin. There were two sons by the second marriage, Samuel and Ebenezer C., who died in 1888 from the effects of wounds received in the war of the Rebellion. Samuel married Millie R., daughter of Rolon Fox, who came from Osceola, and they have seven children: Ralph B., Elida E., Minnie M., Delbert S., Effie R., Lura M. and Fern De L. Mr. Adsit has a farm of 200 acres, and a good deal of wood land. He also runs a saw mill. Another line of business is gathering and dealing in spruce gum, of which he has handled no less than three tons in one season. He has been town clerk three years. On the 13th day of January, 1894, he followed three grown black bears, overtook them on still hunt, shot and killed the whole three. They were all kicking at the same time. The three netted him $71.13.
