Oakview Cottage, Farley's Point on Cayuga Lake - "The cottage was known as Oakview. It was built in the early 1890's . RRH Galbraith financed the cottage and my Grandfather Frank Cline Paul built it.

"A photograph that was likely taken by RRH Galbraith. It is in Ft. Hill Cemetery. Of the 5 people in the photo, I can positively identify the woman in the dark dress. That is Mary Ann Galbraith. I have this dress still. The other 2 I believe are Mary and Evelyn Galbraith. The man maybe my grandfather Charles Paul or it could be Sherman Salisbury. The child is likely my father Ralph Paul."
