Partridge, David H., was born in alway, Saratoga county, in 1836, a son of Phineas S., whose father was Asa
Partridge, who came from Massachusetts at an early date and settled in Holley, where he died. David H. came from
Saratoga county to Lockport in 1851, and in 1856 removed to Holley, where he has since lived. In 1860 he became
a partner in the grain and produce business with Col. John Berry, which they conducted until the retirement of
the latter in 1890, since which Mr. Partridge has carried on the business alone, having an established reputation
for honesty and fair dealing. He is a strong Republican, and has served on the Board of Trustees, being a member
at the time the Union School was incorporated. He has been repeatedly urged to take the nomination for supervisor
and county treasurer, but refused on the ground that he preferred his business to the field of politics. He has
been an active member of the Baptist Church for many years, and has served as trustee, treasurer, and leader of
the choir. He also took an active part in the building of the new church in 1890. Mr. Partridge is one of the original
stockholders in the Hillside Cemetery, and belongs to the following organizations: A. O. U. W, and Masonic Lodge.
In 1863 he married Helen J., daughter of Col. John Barry, and they have two children: Mildred B., wife of Charles
B. Arnold, of Rochester; and John S., who is in business with his father.
