Coeymans:

  • Conrad F. Suderley, Jr., leading businessman of Coeymans and Ravena for more than a quarter of a century, died suddenly at his home in Coeymans last Friday night. Since coming to Coeymans in 1887, Mr. Suderley had taken an active part in all business, social and church affairs of Coeymans and Ravena, and his advice and support will be greatly missed in both villages. He had been president of the First National Bank of Ravena since its organization in 1909.
