She was the daughter of Isaac Shultz who was born July 28, 1740 and Mary Kilburn who was born Dec. 4, 1749, the daughter of James Kilburn, of Glastonbury, Hartford Co., CT.  They settled at New Windsor, N.Y. and soon removed to Geneva, N.Y. where he bought 1,000 acres of wild land, and made one of the best farms in the state, and lived on it until his death.  He probably followed his brother Moses, to that place, and was followed by his brother, James, with his family in September, 1789.  Samuel and wife have tombstones at No. 9, Church Road, Stanley, N.Y.  Either he, or Samuel, son of 2 James Latta, was the founder of the church.  All dates taken from the family Bible.  Samuel is found in the 1790 Census of Ulster Co., NY, Town of New Windsor, 4 free white males and 3 free white females. Greece, Monroe County, NY has a street called "Latta Street" that was named for one of its city founders, Samuel Latta. In 1790, the first deed recorded in present Monroe County was for Samuel Latta.  In 1805 Samuel Latta was appointed Custom's Agent for the Port of Genesee by President Thomas Jefferson.  Latta was also the local agent for Pulteney Estates and was selling lots for $10 each.  At www.rootsweb.com/~nymonroe/french.htm, The French's Gazeteer for Monroe County, NY, by J. H. French (1860) states that the first settlement of Greece had among the early settlers John Love in 1793, at the mouth of the river...and in the winter of 1796 and 97, Eli Granger, Thomas King...and Samuel Latta (40 yrs. old) located in Town.

Stewart so many, many years a well-known and highly respected Christian lady of this community. The strongest evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by those who knew her best, was the very largely attended funeral services held when the weather was inclement and the roads very bad. The funeral was held Tuesday from the home, Rev. McKay, officiating. OBITUARY. The deceased, Miss Susan L. Latta was born in Niagara County, N. Y., on February 10, 1842, and passed away last Saturday, April 8th, making her a little over 80 years old at the time of her death. She was the oldest child of Benjamin and Deborah Latta. When she was four years old the family moved from New York to Bradford, Wisconsin. On September 29, 1859, she was married to William Stewart. She was the mother of eleven children, Janie, William, Frank, Charles, Edward, Hayden, Mark, Ray, Susie, Grace, and Zoa. Three of these children, William, Frank and Grace and her husband have already passed away, leaving five sons, three daughters, five brothers, two sisters and 12 grand children to mourn her death. Mrs. Stewart lived here in town and on the home farm east of town for years, and consequently was well known by the people of this community for many years. She was almost the last of the generation of people who lived in this community for the last half of the past century. She was a woman of a rugged constitution, kind disposition and motherly heart. Good many years ago she united with the Congregational Church of this village, and when the church was merged into the new Presbyterian organization, she transferred her membership to the new organization. The surviving members of the family have the sympathy of all who know them in their time of sorrow.

Stewart, also for the floral offering and to those who took part in the funeral services. THE STEWART FAMILY.

ALFRED LATTA. There are inherent qualities in some men that insure success in almost any undertaking, and this genius of adaptability was well demonstrated in the career of Alfred Latta, whose death occurred in Battle Creek, December 13, 1886. A master of expedients, in his long and intimate association with the history of this section, he did not fail to make the most of opportunities presented, and was known as one of the representative business men and public-spirited citizens of Battle Creek, the scene of his well-directed efforts for more than a third of a century. Mr. Latta was born in the Empire state. being a native of Lewiston, Niagara county, where his birth occurred April 6, 1821, his father, John Latta, being an early pioneer and leading manufacturer of western New York.
    One of a family of ten children, Alfred Latta received the benefits to be derived from a common school education, and subsequently passed two years in the Lewiston Academy. When twenty-two years of age, in 1843, he went to Wisconsin, on his way passing through Chicago, then a city smaller in size than Battle Creek, at the time of his death. He taught school in Wisconsin for a short time, after which lie took up land for farming purposes, but soon returned to New York, where he entered upon an agricultural career. In 1848 lie was married to Miss Martha E. Hill, and in 1853, came west again, settling in Michigan, and purchasing a farm on South Portage street, Kalamazoo. formerly owned by Judge Mitchell Hinsdale, a prominent pioneer of Michigan, and father of the late Hon. E. C. Hinsdale, of Detroit. Moving to this land with his family, Mr. Latta. improved and added to it, and in 1865. on account of failing health, sold the land to D. C. Reed and during the next two years lived retired from active life. He then purchased the Downs farm of 600 acres, located near Ceresco, and entered the agricultural field on a large scale, hut his health again failed and he sold out and came to Battle Creek in 1872, from that time on being engaged in real estate matters and house building. Mr. Latta belonged to that class of men to whom the city is indebted for its present prosperity. A member of the Congregational and Presbyterian church, (now the Independent Congregational church on Maple street), he is remembered by those of the older generation as an excellent neighbor, and as a generous friend to the sick and needy. He was buried in the family lot at Oak Hill Cemetery.
    Mr. Latta was married in 1848 to Martha F. Hill, who died March 25, 1909. at the old home at No. 202 North avenue, where her husband had passed away so many years before. In her eightieth year at the time of her death, Mrs. Latta was esteemed and beloved by all. She was identified with the Women’s Club of Battle Creek for many years, and had been almost continuously on the official board of the Independent Congregational church, where she was recognized by her associates as one of the most useful and valued members. She was also one of the founders of the Independent Movement, under the late Reed Stuart, and as a kindly, lovable Christian woman. her death was sincerely mourned by a wide circle of acquaintances. She and her husband ha
