From notes compiled by Mrs. S. A. Mangam, the previous historian ofCairo: "William Crooker built a Hotel where Mr. and Mrs. JosephFrancel now live. This was the oldest hotel site before 1838 and wasoriginally called the Calder House. Some of the other owners wereBester Dexter, whose wife was Julia Ann Keller. They had twodaughters, Charlotte, who married a Mr. Hamilton, and Frances, whomarried Mr. Eggleston. The next owner was Martin Eggleston (was thisthe husband of Frances?) Then Stephen Tryon, whose wife was CatherineRichtmyer of Gilboa, was the next owner. Mr. Tryron had two daughters,Adelia, who married a professor of Music, Charles Moritz Leibich. Heleft Cairo to conduct a Conservatory of Music in Cost Rica, where hedied. Catherine Tyron married Jonathan Brown Webster. The next ownerwas Daniel Jennings. Did these men follow one another or were thereothers between? In 1867, Seymour Adams owned and operated this hotel.It must have been a good sized establishment for the records show thatin the freshet around 1880, the hotel barn, which had a 50-teamcapacity, was partly taken away. Since then the dwelling has been usedas a private residence.
