    My family lived in Geneva and I believe had some connection to Geneva Cutlery. I know my grandfather was a was in security there and carried a .38 pistol which is still in the family. I also have a double set of pearl razors in a case. His name was Glen Page. My uncle Lawrence also worked there but I'm not sure in what capacity. Wallace Page another uncle lived in a very large house on Washington St. which I have a picture of. It is a two story that resembles a Frank Loyd Wright style with a flat roof.I also have a Geneva Cutlery Corp. stock certificate no. 146 with a par value of $100. It certifies that H.L. Henry owns 5 shares of stock at $ 100 each. It is signed by the president's secretary, Wallace W. Page ( who lived in the house on Washington St.) and President H.Henry. It was issued in 1918. So that's what I've got. I'll be glad to hear any feedback. Got a little ornamental iron job to stop and look at next week and thought I' d look for the house. I

    Welcome from SE Washington State USA.

    Impressive to have family history. As previously posted pictures would be very much appreciated.
    Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

    Welcome, nice to know that kind of history about your family. My Dad's family is near you. He grew up in Retsof just up the road from where you are. Actually he spent a lot of his childhood in Geneseo across the valley which is even closer to you. Beautiful country up there.
