Excerpt from A History of the Treaty of Big Tree: And an Account of the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Making of the Treaty, Held at Geneseo, N. Y., September the Fifteenth Eighteen Hundred Ninety-Seven At The annual meeting of the Livingston County Historical Society, held in 1896, it was determined that the one hundredth anniversary of the meeting of the Treaty of Big Tree should be celebrated in some appropriate manner under the auspices of the society. Accordingly, at the following annual meeting a committee was appointed to have the entire matter in charge; such committee consisted of William A. Brodie, Chairman; E. Fred Youngs, George B. Adams and Charles D. Newton, of Geneseo; Asael O. Bunnell of Dansville; Chauncey K. Sanders of Nunda; S. Edward Hitchcock of Conesus; and the president-elect, William A. Wadsworth, and the secretary-elect, Lockwood R. Doty, ex-officio. On the 15th day of September, 1897, the anniversary ceremonies took place at Geneseo. A large number of guests representing other Historical Societies in the State, and others, were present, including Mr. Gouverneur Morris, the eldest male descendant and great grandson of Robert Morris, and Mr. A. Sim Logan and Mr. Andrew John, members of the Seneca Nation of Indians, representing the contracting parties to the treaty. A short business meeting was held at the society´s log cabin, presided over by the vice-president, S. E. Hitchcock, in the absence of the President, who was detained in a western state by illness, followed by an informal reception there. At 1:30 o´clock a visit was made in carriages to the site of the Council House and the Headquarters of the Treaty Commissioners. At 2:30 o´clock exercises were held in the spacious chapel of the Normal School building, which had been courteously tendered to the society by the Principal and Local Board. These exercises consisted of choral and orchestral music rendered by students of the Normal School under the direction of Mr. W. W. Killip of Geneseo; Prayer by Rev. J. E. Kittredge, D. D., of Geneseo; address by the Chairman of the Committee, W. A. Brodie; Historical Address by John S. Minard, of Fillmore, N. Y., and presentation of various Historical Documents by Dr. George Rogers Howell, Archivist of New York State Library, who also presented to the society, on behalf of Mr. Gouverneur Morris, a photographic copy of Rembrandt Peale´s portrait of Robert Morris.
