Place (Feb. 8, 1895) and Nahum Champin (Jan. 21, 1897).  The wreck of the Louis V. Place was particulary horrific, with ice-encased corpses swinging in the rigging, by the time help could finally reach the ship, and only 1 survivor, later also buried here.   
  • John "Rock" Smith's Descendants Recorded on Unique Monument in Lakeview Cemetery, Patchogue (LongIslandGenealogy.com) -- erected by one of Patchogue's "Four Sisters," Ruth Newey Smith, a somewhat delightfuly-caustic poet (daughter of Micah Smith, whose house near the foot of S. Ocean Ave. was built in 1812) -- the entire known family genealogy to that point is on all 4 sides of this monument, something of a mind-blowing wonder to behold (the staures of Faith, Hope, Liberty, and Charity "modestly" represent the four sisters, known locally for their charitable acts and business acumen)

-- Lyceum  

 

           Note:  There were actually two. (Each was usually referred to simply, as "the Lyceum.") 

                     Both featured concerts, minstrel shows, plays, lectures, and benefit shows.

                     (1)  The Old Lyceum (1880's), which began as a roller skating rink

                           (1883), originally built perpendicular to the road, was located on East side of

                           S. Ocean Ave., N. of Terry St.  After a run as the local showplace (theater),

                           the building was turned parallel to the road, the lower floor being converted to

                           shops, the upper floor to apartments. 

                     (2)  The New Lyceum (1890's-1910's), which was intended to replace and surpass

                           the Old Lyceum, as the village showplace, incorporated the former

                           Congregational Church building, located on the N. side of on Lake St., just W.

                           of today's Reeses 1900 restaurant, at today's Lake Street Apartments.  The

                           Church had just moved to its present Main St. location.
