Minor Maltby (1816-1914)

Minor Maltby of Baldwinsville, NY, married Avaline Vosburgh (1819-1891) of Camillus. About 1866 they moved to the town of Brutus, in Cayuga County, but a few years after his wife's death Minor Maltby moved again, to the village of Jordan.

Syracuse Post Standard, January 10, 1914

JORDAN, January 9 — The funeral of Minor Maltby, 97, was held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Nesbitt, at 1 o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Maltby was one of the oldest residents in this vicinity, moving here from Baldwinsville about fifty years ago.

With his parents, Jacob Maltby and Sally Minor, of Puritan stock from Salem, Massachusetts, he became a settler on the site of what is now the village of Baldwinsville. At that time there were only two other familities in that territory, one the Baldwins, after whom the place was named.

At the age of 50 Mr. Maltby moved to the town of Brutus, Cayuga County, where he followed the occupation of farmer for many years. Ten years ago he took up his residence near this village with his daughter, Mrs. Nesbitt, who with a son, Atchison Maltby of Weedsport and four brothers survive.

Mr. Maltby had been active for a man of his years until last summer, when he had an illness from which he did not fully recover. His mind, however, was exceptionally bright until within a few hours of his death. He did not use tobacco or stimulants. His entire family has lived to reach the age of 70.

Rev. Frederick L. Anderson, pastor of the Baptist Church, officiated at the funeral services. Burial was made at Weedsport Rural Cemetery.

James Joseph Maltby, born on February 23, 1942, in Syracuse, New York to Leon James and Elizabeth (Kinsella) Maltby peacefully passed away on September 7, 2023, in Plano, Texas surrounded by his loving family. 

Jim grew up in Solvay, New York and graduated from Le Moyne College with a BS in Mathematics. It was there that he met and married his wife, Charlotte. He spent 25 years working as a programmer and a developer for IBM at the Glendale Lab in Endicott, New York and the Boca Raton, Florida facility.  He was key to the success of the OS2 deployment in Europe, Middle East and Asia. Upon retirement, Jim relocated to Plano, Texas to be nearer to his family.

Over the years, Jim had a variety of hobbies and interests including chip carving, stained glass, watercolor painting, bird houses, coins, designing and researching things to the max, planning summer programs for his grandkids, brain games, movies, reading, good food, chocolate, playing the lottery and a lifelong love of the Peanuts gang. 

Later in life he could usually be found sitting in his stressless recliner, smoking his pipe, reminiscing about a past trip or planning a future one. He was a devoted and supportive husband and father who loved to hear about the doings of his family and was always ready to have a discussion, dispense thoughtful advice, tell a story, or pass out a $2 bill. His waffles were legendary. Fond memories and his gentle spirit will be with us always.

He is survived by Charlotte (Mahalick) Maltby, his devoted beloved wife of 61 years and his 5 children, Mary (John) Almasy of New Windsor, Maryland, Katherine (David) Lance of Plano, Texas, James (Katherine) Maltby of Tall Timbers, Maryland, Elizabeth (James) Harper of Keller, Texas, and Patricia Maltby of Plano, Texas.

He will be dearly missed by his 10 grandchildren, Julie (Nate) Pfeiffer, Stephanie (Mike) Snyder, Ryan (Shannon) Lance, Andrew, John and Michael Lance, Megan and Joseph Harper, and Karly and Jaden Maltby and 3 great-grandchildren Calvin and Elsie Pfeiffer, and Olivia Snyder. He was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Maureen (Robert) Finn.

A memorial service was held on November 11, 2023, at 11:00am at the Our Lady of Hope Chapel, St. Mary’s Cemetery in Syracuse, New York.

If desired contributions may be made to The Leon James Maltby Endowed Scholarship Fund in Memory of James J Maltby, Lemoyne College 1419 Salt Springs Rd., Syracuse New York 13214 or www.Lemoyne.edu
