Elizabeth Gale Cottle (“Betty”) passed away peacefully at her home in West Tisbury in the early morning of Sunday, June 13, 2021. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Ed Cottle. They were married for 67 years.
Betty was born in Oak Bluffs on Oct. 24, 1929, the daughter of Allen and Mary Gale. She grew up in Tisbury, and spent her adult life living in West Tisbury. Betty was an Island girl, through and through. Betty would often say that she had the best childhood. She loved to tell stories of roaming around West Chop, picking flowers before the summer people arrived. Walking to Bayside and jumping off the pier. Meeting her friends under the streetlights to play, or go to the movies. She would tell how the streets would be closed so the kids could go sledding.

The Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes in partnership with the Geneva Historical Society, will present the virtual program, “How Nestlé Sweetened Life in Upstate New York” by Central New York historian and author Jim Farfaglia on Thursday, April 22 at 7 pm.
For nearly 100 years, Fulton, New York, was known as the city that smelled like chocolate. As home to Nestlé’s first (and largest) United States factory, it was there that Nestlé Quik and the Crunch Bar were invented, and Toll House Morsels poured off assembly lines. The story of why Nestlé’s Swiss founders chose Fulton for their production is one of our country’s most inspiring success stories. This presentation by the author of a book on Nestlé’s history in Fulton combines research from the company’s archives and interviews with its former workers.

The Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes in partnership with the Geneva Historical Society will present the virtual program, “Finger Lakes Scenes in 3-D” by Dan Weinstock on Zoom on Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.
The program will focus on 3-D images called stereoviews. They consist of two nearly identical photographs or prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-dimensional image. When viewed through a stereoscope or 3-D glasses, the image becomes a single 3-D image.
This program will provide a brief overview of stereoviews as collectibles and then examine a few of the region’s stereo photographers and their prints. In order to experience the 3D effect, red/cyan glasses will be made available to participants.
