Miss Hastings (1871-1953) was a keen amateur historian, and a great niece of William Seymour, a key participant in the reaper industry, manufacturing the horse drawn farm implements in Brockport. NY, ca. 1840s-1880s. She wrote a number of articles about the history of the Brockport, NY area, and was a talented artist and illustrator ca. 1987-1904 whose large portfolio of art work was unknown until discovered in January of 2016 by the Emily L. Knapp Museum and Library of Local History.
