“Mr. John C. Gee (1866-1942) of Central Chapel was the owner of the abandoned church building that overlooked the intersection of Shindagin Road and Brearley Hill Road, as late as 1939…. Since childhood he had lived on a farm at Central Chapel. In the early [18]90’s. Mr. Gee sold and repaired bicycles. Often he pedaled to Syracuse, Binghamton, or other central New York towns to purchase parts. Mr. Gee was well educated, well read, and wrote a fine script. He and three other Township residents attended the Centennial Exposition in Chicago in 1892. This trip started Mr. Gee on a record that probably no other residents of this area held. He attended every large Fait and Exposition since the Chicago Bicentennial. This record included the Pan-American, St. Louis, San Francisco and the World Fairs at Chicago and New York City. He visited the Pacific Coast six times by rail, went to Alaska by boat on the 1200 mile inland waterway. He was father of four girls and five boys and related to the Gee family for whom Gee Hill in Cortland County is named. His wife was LILLIS B. GEE (1878-1938).
