Rodney Wilcox, president of the bank since 1905, was born at Schuylerville, Saratoga, NY, 24 Aug 1832, son of John and Lucy (Adams) Wilcox. He was educated in the district school and at the Academy at Schuylerville. In 1848 he became a clerk in a general store at Victory Mills and six years later removed to Cohoes, NY, then a village of about 7,000 inhabitants, where he was engaged in the dry goods business for about a year. After a year in the West he returned to Cohoes and in 1859, with Philip E. Marshall as a partner, engaged in the dry goods business under the firm name of Marshall & Wilcox. In 1870, Mr. Wilcox purchased his partner's interest, and has since conducted the business under his own name. He was for a number of years a member of the Business Men's Association, and, with Mayor Strong, was deeply interested in the commission which had charge of the erection of the Cohoes City Hall. He is a member of the Board of Hospital Commissioners, a trustee of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, a member of Cohoes Lodge No. 116, F&AM, and of the Cohoes Masonic Club. He married Adeline Coons. They have one daughter by adoption, Mary E. Wilcox, now Mrs. Winthrop Mincher. Mr. Wilcox resides at No. 290 Remsen Street, Cohoes. http://books.google.com/books?id=elpYAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA575&dq=%22cohoes+lodge+no.+116%22&cd=4#v=onepage&q=%22co hoes%20lodge%20no.%20116%22&f=false page 574. Dr. Charles Edward Witbeck, one of the foremost citizens and most prominent physicians of Cohoes, passed away at his home on the morning of Thursday, 13 May 1909, after a brief illness. On Sunday he went the round of his patients as usual. His condition became rapidly serious and his family, who were absent at the time, were hastily summoned. They were at his bedside when the end peacefully came. Dr. Witbeck was born in the old village of West Troy, on 22 Feb 1844. He came of sturdy Dutch parentage, tracing his ancestry back to the year 1630. From them he inherited a vigor and fine physique which withstood the passing years of a strenuous and active professional career. Dr. Witbeck spent his boyhood in West Troy (now Watervliet). He attended the public schools there until the age of fifteen years, when he entered a private grammar school in Troy, where he remained three years. He then went to Trumansburg, NY, where he was a student in the office of Dr. Gregory. He then entered the Albany Medical College, and after completing the regular course was graduated and received his diploma in 1866. He came to Cohoes and began his practice in 1867. That he made no mistake in choosing the medical field for his life-work was more than evidenced in after years, as he became one of the foremost physicians of his day. His practice had in no long a time become extensive and lucrative. He acquired in the profession the status of one skilled in diagnosis and his counsel was sought after by the younger physicians as of the greatest value. At all periods of his career Dr. Witbeck's life has been inseparably associated with the history of Cohoes' growth and development. On 8 Oct 1872, Dr. Witbeck was united in marriage to Miss Ella Lansing of Waterford, and of this union one son was born, Dr. Charles L. Witbeck, of this city. In medical circles he devoted himself assiduously to his work. In the city of Cohoes in which the most valued years of his life were spent, he always took the deepest interest and in many ways contributed to its progress in material, social and moral directions. 175
