Dewey, David E., the proprietor of the popular resort known as the "Ark," was born in Cleveland, Ohio,
in 1842. At the outbreak of the late war he was in the south and was conscripted into the Confederate service.
After three years he deserted and came into the Union camp. He was wounded on the first day of the Battle of the
Wilderness. He afterward resided in Wayne County, Michigan, and came to New York State in 1876. In 1880 he purchased
the "Ark " property from Calvin Carpenter, remodeled it and improved it, and made it the popular resort
that it is. The mineral springs here have become almost famous.
