Edward Londo

(1859-1938)​

Abraham Londo

(1913-1928)

Edward was born in Saratoga Springs to a basket maker in an Indian Encampment in Congress Park. Edward and his three siblings learned the art of basketmaking prior to his father’s second marriage, at which point he left the encampment.  Many newspaper articles exist attesting to his guiding two presidents through the wilds of the Adirondacks and explaining his claim to being “The Last of the Mohawks.”  His son, Abraham, attended Rowena School and died of influenza at age 18. Father and son lived on Augustine Rd in Manorville and are both buried in Palenville.
