The 2nd and 3rd homes of Gilbert & Fanny both were located on Rte 94 in Vails Gate Orange County NY. Their first home had also been on Rte 94 near the east line of the Village of Washingtonville on the south side of the State road. It was no longer in existence  at the time of EPM's research, and the property was known  as the Matyka farm and grove in 1940.  Gilbert died at their 3rd home (bottom picture) The photo of this home, was taken by EPM March 1937. It was located on Rte 94 two houses in from "5 corners", alongside  the Edmonston house where their son Seneca once lived. (It is no longer standing)
