Edith May

Aunt Ede worked for Dr. Wicks for years. Every time we went to the doctor's we got to see her. She would make sure everything was all right before we went home. We would go into the doctor's kitchen and have something to eat or go watch television upstairs in the doctor's livingroom. We never minded going to the doctors.
Aunt Ede died at home (Hoffman Homestead) and is buried in Pine Plains, NY.

Their was a John Louis, David John, and John Leonard in the family. Uncle Irie decided they should be called "Jack, Jake, and John". He was well loved by all family members. I remember him has a big man (he wasn't tall just a little chubby) who wore bib overalls. One year my mother wore his overalls as part of her halloween costume. He own and operated the Hoffman Family Farm and is also buried in Pine Plains.

Interesting Fact on the Hoffman Family:
Henry Hoffman and brother Ira Hoffman live in adjourning houses on Hoffman road. Henry is the proud possessor of the sword owned and worn by Capt. Henry Strever and handed down through the generations. Ira Hoffman is an intellectual farmer and a local historian. He had in his possession an ancient jug, which has come down through many generations:

History of --- "The Little Brown Jug"
Told by Ira Hoffman, son of Leonard Hoffman - Mary Strever, Adam Strever, John Strevle, Jacob Streble, Johannes Streibel (2nd), and Johannes Streibel (1st).
"The Little Brown Jug"
This antique jug came to Pine Plains, New York, December 17, 1894. An inheritance to Mary A. Strever and was at that date two hundred years old. William Enos (1st) brought "the little brown jug" from Euope in the late 1600's. William Enos (2nd) and Mary North, his wife of Linsbury, Conn., gave it to their daughter Baborah who married Johan Westover of Egramont, Mass. They left it to their son, Johann, who married Asenath Loomis. It then passed to their daughter Amanda Westover, who married her second cousin Julius Enos of Richmondville, Schoharie Co., NY. It was then given to their daughter, Eliza Enos, who married Adam Strever of Pine Plains, Duchess Co., NY., where it was inherited by their daughter, Mary Amanda Strever, who married Henry Hoffman. Their son, Leonard, next owned it. He married Eliza Jane Miller. It next passed to their son, Ira Hoffman who married Edith Remsburger, and in 1955 it became in the possession of their son, John Hoffman. This ancient jug is one of the few precious relics of the famly, and is the oldest of its kind in America.
