Excerpt: NEWFIELD, NY (WENY) -- On Saturday, October 14th, Miss. Kate Dean was recognized as a Newfield native for her singing talents and contributions during the Civil War. The William G. Pomeroy Foundation dedicated the placard with a synopsis of Dean's life.(Submitted on March 16, 2024.)
"She used her talent to help during the Civil War to help men, they would volunteer and she would go through her patriotic duty and took it very seriously," said Rosemary Rowland, author of Women as Bright as Stars - the 19th Century Women of Newfield, New York. "She traveled through different camps and kind of helped with morale and helped at hospitals."
