To the Times:
My father, Rowland Payne Halladay, was born in the town of Lyme in old Jefferson County. He was one of the first boys to volunteer and enlist in the old 94th Regiment when it left Sackets to fight for liberty. He held the rank of sergeant. He was in all the big battles and at last got wounded and got an honorable discharge and returned to the town of Worth, married my mother, Miss Sarah Marvin of the town of Worth. Her father, Horace Marvin, was one of the first settlers when it was a vast wilderness. I am his oldest child. He is a brother of C. V. Halladay of Watertown city. He now resides in Washington, D. C., where he runs the Hotel Patience, 910 E. Street, Northwest, Washington D. C.
