Located in Newington Junction, the Stoddard-Sherwood House was built for John Rozwell Stoddard. He was superintendent for the Russell & Irwin Manufacturing Company and then manager for the Capewell Horseshoe Nail Company. Stoddard and his wife, Lila Marguerite Steele, had seven children and one of them, Lila Steele Stoddard Sherwood, who had married Charles Sherwood, lived in the house after her father’s death in 1936.

I married grandaughter if lila steele stoddard sherwood (bunny) in 1993. Granddaughter Martha Riley [miller:divorced in 1990] [now Martha DiFlorio] was born to John Riley and Lila Steele Sherwood on Dec 12 1941. As an oil painter, I execulted a good quality oil painting of the above shown house in about 1982 or so. I believe the painting is in the posession of Martha DiFlorio residing in Fairport NY 14450.
