Last week I scanned 3 different things.

First, was Ninety One Flashbacks, the 1991 yearbook for Churchville-Chili Middle School. I have been scanning yearbooks for many years but only had a couple of ones for middles schools. Then in the last year I have found more from middle schools around the County. This one was for sale at ReHouse which mostly sold old house parts. They closed permanently last week.

The Churchville-Chili Middle School had grades 6 -8 in 1991 but now they have grades  5 – 8 at the school with 1,156 students.


I scanned a 1898 catalog for Green’s Nursery Co. That is a nursery company that doesn’t get recognition in Rochester history but they were formed in 1870 and existed until the 1940s. I previously scanned their 1937 catalog. In this one from 1898 they have some very long descriptions of the fruits that they are selling. If you want to see even more of the company’s catalogs and publication, go to the Internet Archive and search for “Green’s Nursery.”


Lastly, I scanned a program for “St. Mary’s Follies – Looking Good” which was given March 16 & 17, 1984 at Our Lady of Mercy High School. The proceeds for this program went to support the Seton Ambulatory Center at St. Mary’s Hospital. That was a surgery where patients would go in as “Out-patients” and return home the same day. That was new at that time and happens a lot more often today.
