- A former Bath resident, Dr. B. Edmond Thomas, has been elected president of the North Shore Hospital Medical Staff of Manhasset, NY. The son of David Yes I can receive GEDCOM files and would love to receive your file. I have included the Oldfield family tree I have put together as a Gedcom for you. I can attest that most of the information that is "local" to me (Bath, Hornby, Dansville, Watkins, Corning; all in Steuben or Livingston Counties, New York State) are gathered mainly from primary sources such as birth and death records, marriage records, state census reports, wills and land records. More distant ancestors in years or miles are usually from secondary sources such as books, and other genealogy buffs so they may or may not be reliable, and could possibly be erroneous, as I have not had the time to do more thorough research. I went to David's house (My boyfriend's father) today to tell him about you. No one in the immediate family is interested in genealogy but they all keep telling me that they are glad someone is determined to gather it all up. I can hold Dave's interest with my questions for about an hour every now and then before he gets bored by the whole thing. He doesn't think he is helpful because all of his grandparents died before he was 20 years old and he just doesn't remember much. Anyway, I decided to take advantage of your writing me and went to tell him about it and got him really interested. He and his wife, Barb, sent me home with a box of "goodies" including newspaper clippings and photos that his mother saved (Marian Virginia Thomas) I will have to sort through it all and promise to keep you updated on anything of interest. I know there is several different pictures of the Thomas's which I will scan at the office and send to you if you would like. David says that David W. Thomas was his favorite grandparent. He lived upstairs from them in an apartment in Dansville after his wife Anna died. David died at the age of 90. Dave says he remembers it because they heard a loud noise like something falling and went upstairs to investigate and found David on the floor in the bathroom. I do know that David W. Thomas was the director of the Soldiers and Sailors Home Band. He played the piano I understand from Mike's father, who remembers going to see his band. I can look more into that on my next trip to Bath, probably later this week. To answer your question about Marian's brother Belmont, who was called "Tommie" yes he did marry. Following is a newspaper clipping: Thomas and the late Mrs. Thomas, the physician's appointment was announced by Hospital Board co-chairman William S. Paley and John Hay Whitney. He is an attending physician in the Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology. His father now resides in Dansville with the doctor's sister, Mrs. Willis P. Oldfield, and Mr. Oldfield. A graduate of McGill University Medical School in 1936, Dr. Thomas was the first physician to be admitted to the staff of North Shore Hospital at its opening in 1953. His previous experience included membership on the staffs of St. Clare's Hospital, New York City, and the Flushing Hospital and Dispensary. He served in both institutions as an Assistant Attending Physician. His residencies were served at Montreal General Hospital, New York Post Graduate Hospital, and Burlington County Hospital, Mt. Holly, New Jersey. Dr. Thomas' medical affiliations include the Nassau County Medical Society, the Medical Society of the State of New York, and membership on the Council of the Nassau Obstetrical and Gynecological Society. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Recently elected for a second term as president of the Hobart College Alumni Association, he is a former president of the Hobart Club of New York. He is also president-elect of the Queens Gynecological Society. Other affiliations include the Douglaston Club, Nassau Country Club and Seaview Country Club in Abseson, NJ. Dr. Thomas is married to the former Marie Antoinette Dupre of Montreal, Canada and has one daughter, Mrs. William J. Meyer of Karlsruhe, Germany. "Steuben Courier-Advocate, Bath, NY, August 3, 1961"
