Notes:
Alonzo G. Whitcomb was born in Pittsford, Monroe county, N. Y., June 24, 1824, and while still a young man began the business which subsequently made his name a synonym for hospitality throughout the Eastern States. His youthful life was passed in the country. After reaching his maturity he engaged in hotel keeping in Parma, afterward in Clarkson, and later in Brockport, whence he came to Rochester, where he first was proprietor of the old Exchange Hotel at 80 to 84 West Main street. He was afterward for nine years landlord of the old National, which occupied the northwest corner of West Main and Fitzhugh streets. In 1872 he erected the present Whitcomb House and conducted it until his death on December 13, 1880. Here he made a name which has ever since clung to that popular and widely known hostelry, and closed a career that placed him foremost among the landlords in Rochester. No hotel enjoys a better reputation among the vast army of commercial travelers. Since his death Mr. Downs, for a time his partner, has been its active manager. Mr. Whitcomb was supervisor one year and member of the Common Council several terms. He was one of the organizers of the Rochester Driving Park Association, for several years president of the Western New York Agricultural Society, and a member of Genesee Falls Lodge, F. & A. M. February 13, 1844, he married Miss Tursey S. Tillotson, of Parma, who survives him. (ref. style="text-align: left;">Size: 3.5" by 7"
