² This photograph was originally attributed to the Men-12 Gates-Palmer House; however, photographs of the Gates-Palmer House ruins were found in the Cobblestone Museum archives that verified that the 1883 photograph was not of that house. A subsequent search of the Cobblestone Info Base found that the Weber House was a match. The caption has been corrected thanks to documentation by Karen Crandall. In the article "Mendon - The Early Years The Cobblestone House of Jeremiah Gates Palmer, pg 9, by John G. Sheret, Mendon-Honeoye Falls-Lima Sentinel, THR 12/18/2003, the following was written:
"In the early 1880s, Hiram Palmer sold his farm [Gates-Palmer House inherited from father Jeremiah] to his neighbor, Isaac C. Sheldon, for whom the road was named many years ago. This purchased added the Sheldon farm to the one he had inherited from his grandfather, Isaac Colvin. Hiram then moved his family to another farm located in the Sodus area of Wayne County. He died in Sodus July 26, 1892."
