Thomas Cole painting and the Seward House Museum

[Linda Anderson]

"The state Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments on the Emerson Foundation's appeal of Cayuga County Surrogate's Court Judge Thomas Leone's decision naming Ray Messenger, a descendant of William Seward, as an administrator of the Seward estate.

"The oral arguments, scheduled for April 2014, will be another step in the legal battle over the removal of Thomas Cole's "Portage Falls on the Genesee" from the Seward House Museum in Auburn."
