Edith May Face was born on May 28, 1924 to Earlston and Inez Homes Face at their home in Nassau, NY. Inez gave birth to Edith with no one home as Earlston was working as a logger and farmer. Inez had a hospital appointment in Schenectady while staying with her sister Ruth, but the baby did not wait. Edith lived in East Nassau until she was 5 years old.
They moved to Stottville (named after a Mr. Stott) where Edith’s Mother Inez was employed at the Stottville Woolen Mills as a skilled woolen weaver. Edith went to Stottville Grammar School and graduated from Hudson High School during the summer of 1942. After graduation Edith went to work for Montgomery Ward in Albany as a secretary and had an apartment on State Street in Albany.

Letter To The Editor – Hire Residents Only For Town Jobs
Dear Editor:
Earlier this year the city of Albany re-instituted its By-Law banning non-residents from working for the city. This is as it should be. Most cities and townships require their municipal employees to be residents.
In my Town of New Lebanon we always had a similar law on the books. However, on 3-10-2008, the Town Board passed an Amendment to this law that allowed any resident of Columbia County to work for the Town of New Lebanon. This decision was not made out of generosity or a need for employees, it was made as a means to cover the fact that the Town had been violating its own law for two years.
