More Batavia History in Literature

Mayor Jeff Schielke wears the mantle of resident historian and is devoted to finding and sharing interesting things about Batavia and its people. This time he will share highlights of John Dillon’s new book, Batavia Water Utility History. Dillon recently retired as superintendent of Batavia’s water and sewer department. The mayor will also share Mary Conde Wilson’s 1894 article on autumn in Batavia. Conde was the daughter of CB Conde, and a local writer in the 1890s
