Misc. Notes
In the 1880 federal census, he was living with his father Jesse, stepmother Martha, brother Charles and grandmother Harriet Graham. He was 24, single, a hunter’s guide, and reported that he had been born in New York, his father in Rhode Island, and his mother in Vermont. Jesse said he was born in New York, but that his parents were from Rhode Island, which may explain the discrepancy.24
Spelled Alambert in Pine Ridge Cemetery listings (not personally observed).
Also listed there as Lem L. Corey.
He is listed as Alambert Corey in Bromley’s “Guides of the Adirondacks” as a guide on the Lower Saranac, according to Stoddard and a Saranac Lake reference guide.
Seneca Ray Stoddard’s “The Adirondacks” (19th ed., 1889) says the following (p. 109):
Tupper Lake House is on the west shore of the lake near its south end. It is about 35 miles, as the way goes, from Saranac Lake (station), and can be reached from that direction during the summer only by boat. After June 1st a daily mail is carried via Bartlett’s and the Sweeney Carry. Passengers leaving New York at 7:30 p.m. can reach the Tupper Lake House at about 8 p.m. the following day. It is a source of considerable surprise to visitors who had thought to bury themselves in this far-away corner of the wilderness, to find a daily mail maintained, the news of the world in their familiar evening paper of the day before laid by their plate at tea time, and all the necessaries with many of the perishable dainties from the centres of civilization following them and contributing to their enjoyment of the woodsy things which nature (and “Lem” Corey, the proprietor,) so bountifully provides. And the half has not even then been told for this same “Lem” knows the woods as well as he knows his house, and its waters by intuition, and freely places his acquired knowledge at the service of his friends who ask it, be they guide or sportsman.
This may be fairly called the geographical centre of the wild lake region. It is on the eastern edge of the Mud Lake country which is probably the least known and visited of any part of the wilderness. Dr. Alfred L. Loomis says it is “the best location for sport, and as healthful as any in the Adirondacks,” and the Doctor is good authority on both questions.
The house will accommodate about 100 guests. It is provided with open fire-places in parlor and principal bedrooms, is lighted with gas, has pure spring water brought through pump-logs from a mountain spring, and is furnished comfortably and with the best of beds throughout. Open from May 1st. Board $3.00 per day; $14.00 to $21.00 per week. A. L. Corey is the proper name but a letter addressed to “Lem” Corey, Saranac Lake, cannot go wrong, for every one in the woods knows “Lem.”
A supply and provision store, connected wit the house, is advertised to supply the best goods the New York market affords at New York retail prices, with cost of freight only added.
The “Lakeside Club,” of New York, who own the property, come here annually and occupy their rooms in an adjacent building, eating at the hotel table like other guests.
