Mason & Co., Publisher VAN NORTWICK, W. J., was born in the town of Dryden, October 2, 1828. His father, John VAN NORTWICK, son of Simeon, came from New Jersey and they were among the first settlers in the town. W. J. VAN NORTWICK was educated in the common schools, to which he has added through life by reading and close observation. At the age of thirty-six he married Nancy, daughter of Alexander McKINNEY, of Dryden, and they are the parents of two children, one son, William, and one daughter, Lulu May. In 1850, he began to acquire real estate, buying out other heirs and part of his uncle's estate, having sixty-six acres on which he has erected handsome buildings, raising hay, grain and stock, making a specialty of dairying. Our subject is one of the conservative, independent men of his town, where he is recognized as a practical and successful farmer. He takes an interest in the leading events of the day and in advancing the best interests of his town.!
