The richest man in the city, and in the world, is John D. Rockefeller, a native of Tioga county, New York.

The greatest after-dinner orator, a politician, a railroad man, a lawyer, and United States senator, Chauncey Mitchell Depew, was born in Peekskill, N. Y. and was not a New Yorker until 38 years old.
In surgery Dr. Lewis Albert Sayre stands at the top. He was born at Battle Hill, N. J., and began practicing here at the age of 22. He was intended for the church, but got to be such a swearer that the cloth would not fit him.
