Message: I grew up in Preble, NY. And I never really thought I would ever miss that place. However, I do. I don't miss the snow (maybe on Christmas Day.) But my fondest memories are growing up on Corl Drive. I always thought that if I ever had children, that was the street I wanted to live on. My oldest sister Beth, lives in my family home, I guess she beat me to it. But, I am happy to say I have family still there. And I come home as often as I can. Preble, NY is one of those tiny towns that one must visit. When we come home to visit, my husband is amazed at how beautiful a small town can look. Preble will always be my home. It is a memory that I will never forget.

Message: I want to visit Preble, because I met the nicest person from there. She is a wonderful Christian woman, and always brings a smile to every conversation, so I want to meet her in her town. I believe she comes from a town that demonstates the qualities of the Empire state. I look forward to meeting her and her town.

Name: Pennie Call Preble
City/State: Woodworth, Louisiana
E-mail: jp5pc@aol.com
Message: How ironic that my father's family (the Call's) have many family members from the Preble, Cortland, & surrounding areas; I spend the majority of my childhood summers at Lake Otisco only to find myself married to a Preble from the bayou state of Louisiana? I have many fond memories of great times at Otisco, Song Mountain, Labrador as well as Little York Lake. Hello to all my "kin-folk" who still live in the area. I heard the reunion was a blast. My husband's family originated from somewhere in Minnesota & there aren't very many Prebles in Louisiana so perhaps some of the signees on the guestbook might be related to Jonathan Vernon Preble in some way - please email me if that name rings a bell.

Message: I used to live in Preble in the grey house at 1981 Preble Rd for the years 1986-1990. I have lived 4 places since then, and am now in the center of FL, but always recall Preble as my favorite town. I think it's the people that kept me smiling while I lived there. They were all so kind to take me into their church, hearts, and lives. I remember feeling very at home there for my brief time. If anyone is still there who remembers me and my son, Justin, we'd love to hear from you. Justin is 25 now and living in Atlanta, GA. My daughter (I had her the year I left Preble in 1990) is 16. Time flies. I love your website! Kudo's to all the high-sprited, forward-thinking people of Preble!! Regards, Ann

I would love to see some pictures of what it used to look like there, or what it was used for. Also, does anyone have any old pictures or information for the barn on East Homer Baltimore Road in Preble? I heard that it was once a sawmill, and then it housed cows. If anyone has any information on either of these, I would love to hear it, and I would really love to see some old pictures of them both. Please contact me if you have either. Thank you very much.

Message: I have known for some time that our family line includes Commodor Edward Preble. His great-grandfather and great-grandmother are in my direct blood line. His grandfather was Josuah Warner who was Dr. Jonathon Warner's brother. Dr. Jonathon is in my direct blood line. I found out all of this by doing a family history for my 6th grade daughter's school project. I am interested if the town's history includes the reasoning as to what prompted the town to be named after Commodor Preble. Can anyone answer this? Please e-mail me. Thank you.

Message: I'm sure that most of you don't remember me. My dad was Joe Billups, minister to the only church in town. When I think of Preble there are good thoughts. Woody's, Wright's Store, the skating rink behind the firehouse. We lived there between 1959-1964. Mom was a teacher at Tully School, I haven't been back in quite a while. My family and I lived in Otisco for 32 yrs. After my husband's death Oct 2002, I moved to Florida. To continue with the dreams we had. We were married for 34 yrs. and have 2 children, Mark and Kimberly. We are also blessed with two grand-daughters. It's nice to see my old hometown having its own website. The best to all.

City/State: San Francisco, CA
Message: The common ancestor of the Prebles in America is Abraham Preble who traveled with the Men of Kent from England in 1636 to Scituate, Plymoutah Colony. There is a book in the Sutro Library in San Francisco titled "The First Three Generations of Prebles in America" and includes the revolutionary war diaries of Brigadiere General Jedediah Preble who fought with George Washington against the British. The Prebles moved from Normandy province, France to England in the 16th century and the name in France was Preville. Preble is an anglicized version of the original French. All of the Prebles in America are descended from Abraham Preble. So, HELLO COUSINS! ALL OF YOU

Message: My sister, Pat, lives in San Fransisco. She kept getting phone calls for a Pat Preble from people she never knew. As it turned out there was/is another Pat Preble in San Fransisco. The two met and the second Pat brought a family history that traced her ancestry to three Preble brothers who landed in the East in something like the late 1700's and apparently we're all somewhat related. Now if you would happen to have a hardware store called Mike's, all would be perfect and I'd have my next vacation destination. Bye.

My son attended Homer High and still has many friends in the area. I feel like I am still a country girl and kept the land after selling the house, in the hope of being able to return, at least for the summers. Finally sold it, since it seems I will never be in a position to make that dream come true. I have family in Port Crane so I can still visit. Your site is wonderful. Keep up the great work.

Message: Having a town named after an ancestor is an honor and it is good that the town of Preble proudly presents itself here on the internet. I am from Maine where there are many Prebles and now live where there are few of us in the state. I appreciate the brief history of the naming of the town but ask that you consider adding this link http://www.usspreble.org/commodor.html to your web site. Some feel that he saved the American Navy in training many who served as the "Preble Boys"after he retired. Hope the cabbage crop was good this year. Don (formerly of Rochester)

Message: Lots of memories...I grew up just outside the town, but spent time working for the highway department under John Henry and then for the local park in a summer program for a couple of years. In my teen years I became a "raiser of caine" as many would probably remember. :o) As time does however, I outgrew all of that and chuckle now when I think back on it. It's also something I teach my kids not to do. Nice site, fantastic historical background. Would be interested in seeing more information about the town's history including old maps. The swamp was always of particular interest to me. Thanks for the memories Preble.

Message: I was surfing the net and came upon this web site. I see my sister, Barb, beat me to it. The web page is outstanding. Hats off to you folks in Preble. My heart is still in Preble. Used to work for Bill VanPatten, the dairy farm and Bob Knapp on the cabbage farm when I was a kid. I used to work for Salisbury Fire Trucks in Tully. Would like to hear from some of you, so drop me a line.

Message: I grew up in Binghamton, New York; my father's family lived in and around Fulton, New York. I have fond memories of family gatherings near the halfway point between our homes at Dwyer Memorial County Park in the 1960s. I was trying to recreate my boyhood family outings but could not find the park on a detailed AAA map of the greater Syracuse area or in previous internet searches. Thanks for providing some information about the park on your web site.

Message: My brother Roger stumbled on the site. I use to live in Preble from 1958 until 1968 when I got married in the only church in town. The site is fabulous. Great job. Brought back many memories. From Girl Scouts, hanging with the gang, ice skating behind the firehouse and climbing up the hill and looking out over the valley with Fay Simmons, Barb Wetmore, Kathy Baldwin, Wendy Strong, Sharon Van Patten and others. Riding the school bus after home games. We lived in the big white house across the street from Woody's garage and Don Wright's store and motel. I too went to school for one year at the old school house. I remember alot of the people there. E-mail - love to hear from you.

Message: What a treat to happen onto this web site. I lived in Preble as a young boy in 1957-59. My parents rented the big white house on the corner of 281 and the main road thru Preble. I went to the little two room schoolhouse that is now the town hall. My best friend was Warren Wroff (not sure of spelling). And I remember the "Fonzi" of that time being a guy called Buzzy Baldwin. Preble was a great place and I miss it.

Message: Hi to Preble, my Mom's home town. I spent many happy weekends there with my Grandparents, Dave and Frankie Woodmancy. Hope you're all weathering the Central NY winter OK. Chicago's been really mild this year. In fact, they're worried about moisture levels. Anyway, my best to Preble.

Message: I'm the former Cortland County Groundwater Management Coordinator and have recently taken over the duties as Manager of the NYS Federation of Lake Associations, Inc. which will soon be housed in LaFayette...just wondering what the Song and Tully Lake Associations are up to. They've been awfully "quiet" as of late. Don't miss the NYSFOLA conference May 3-5, 2002 at the White Eagle Conference Center in Hamilton.
