,4 Whispering Pine . . . On a cold, still winter night when I was shedding my first coat of needles, a sleigh filled with happy children passed beneath my boughs. In the sleigh I recognized children of many of the families who have settled in Colonie through the years. One of the grandchildren of Isaac Van Valken- burg seemed to be the ringleader of fun. His grandfather had two taverns in the Pine Bushg one at Verreburgh. I noticed one of the Lansings hold- ing court with several of the giddy young girls. He belongs to the Lansings who ran the grist mill at Rudd's Pond. I hear through the Pine-vine that one of his relatives married an Ostrom and Along side of these boys, the McNutt girls made sure everyone knew that they were related to a famous family. Their ancestry included a great grandmother who was related to Benjamin Franklin and two well known aunts who were women doctors. One of the kids listening taunted them with the fact that their aunts were very strict Sunday school teachers! I wonder what these proper ladies thought years later when a bowl- ing alley became part of their property. Not to be outdone by the other braggarts, the Roessle children began to comment on their lin- eage. Synonymous with the Roessle name were the two stone lions that flanked the driveway of few N s- gf i g g an , - , q 7 j ,l , 1 PM gr, N A gi g T: Q S g., i .1lqmle..2M fM. . s. as no they have a real mansion started. Isn't it ironic that years from now their land will become the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery? The children jumped from the sleigh to stretch their legs and I listened to their gay chatter. The Grim boys were bragging to the rest about the huge profit their relatives had realized every year from their toll gate house. At this, one of the Grounds chimed in that his father made just as much money peddling water from his own well to the residents of Albany. He also mentioned that his family was considering moving their house one hundred and fifty feet. Imagine that! the homestead. When some of the sleigh riders suggested that they would probably be stolen, the proud Roessles refuted this by saying that they always had a man on duty at the gatehouse. Little did they know that the whole eleven room mansion would be burned and those lions dis- appear, leaving only one concrete base as evidence of the elegance that once reigned. Theophilus Roessle, a breeder of fine cattle and sponsor of the Delevan Hotel which later was the site of Union Station in Albany, was well know in my Pine Bush and eventually Roessleville was named for him.
