id 68 firstname Byron lastname Coburn birthyr 1874 deathyr 1935 bio Coburn, Byron, joined the Groveland, NY, Shakers and moved in 1892 to the North F., Watervliet, NY, when the
former dissolved. His mother, Hattie, his brother, Chester, and his sister, Irene, were also Shakers, though they left
before 1919. Much liked by the children, Byron "seemed to be the Shaker who did everything," such as mowing and
painting, and keeping all things generally in repair. He was also famous for predicting the weather correctly, for
keeping bees, and for preparing wooden dovetailed frames for them. He died a Watervliet Shaker in 1935, age 61.
