Cattaraugus was an important station upon the New York and Erie Rail Road. The land for the village was deeded to them, by Joseph Plumb, on the condition that no intoxicating liquors should be sold there. There still are no bars in town. The village has an area of 1.1 square miles.
This picture of Cattaraugus was taken looking west from the driveway of the original farm of Porter Pepperdine. Isn't that a great name! Our house is located up the valley and cannot be seen in this picture.
If you click on the picture you can get a better view of the down town area.

My aunt was married to Porter in 1951 for a very short time. She was a school teacher from Buffalo, NY. She died in 1996 at the age of 74.
I do have some photos of Porter, as does my father.
