BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

The Blodgett family owned and maintained a large farm in the village of Ingleside in the town of Prattsburg, New York.

His son William Dudley Blodgett (June 6, 1845-March 9, 1920) was a student at the Naples Academy in Naples, N.Y. and attended bookkeeping classes at night in 1865. He was living in a room in Naples with some fellow students at the time, although he still worked on the family farm.
