This listing, in the form of a Directory of Local Businesses, is simply
a list of businesses that were in the Village of Cazenovia during the lifetime
of several older residents. All of the contributors wished to remain
anonymous and some of them are now deceased. I made some minor supplements
to names and proprietors, but the list is essentially as created by one
of the older residents with a number of additions by several other residents.
The businesses and people listed here were not in business in any particular
time except within the memory of the compilers (c.1920 to c. 1990).
Few of them were active in the span of my memory (c.1965+) and several
have direct descendants that are still in business, but all are familiar
to me in some way through my research and talking with older generations.
Since the records of the 20th century seem harder to come by than those
of the 19th century, I felt it fitting to include this listing here, for
posterity, nostalgia, and for the record. It is by no means complete
and surely detailed stories may be compiled for each and every one of them,
but this list is just a start.
