From the Delaware and Hudson Company Bulletin, December 1, 1929
At all stages of life people are continually recalling incidents which happened where they lived some years before. It frequently happens, too, that the "old timer", when he retires, goes back to his "home town" to spend the aftermath of an active life. Such was the experience of Bazeen R. Gaige, pensioned train baggage man, who after 26 years of service on the Saratoga division returned to Delanson, where he began to work for our company 46 years ago, to live after his retirement.
Mr. Gaige was born at Quaker Street, the little village overlooking Delanson, New York in 1862. He attended the grade school which then stood on a plot of ground almost opposite DJ tower today. After finishing his elementary school work the boy was sent to the Academy which was then located at Quaker Street. An Academy at that time corresponded to a high school of today. Delanson now has an up-to-date high school and the Academy has been discontinued...
