The Doxsee Legacy: Growing Up In a Fishing Family

June 25, 2024 |
Tues,
June 25th, the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet and the Islip Public Library
will co-host a program on the Doxsee Family. James Harvey Doxsee was a prominent Islip resident during the second
half of the 19th century. He was a
pioneer in the field of canning clams that were dug by the baymen of the Great
South Bay. His clam products were
distributed nationwide. Harve's great
grandson, Bob, followed in the family's seafood business. Bob's PowerPoint presentation is a
combination of pictures and anecdotes which highlights his family from the
1800's to the beginning of the 21st century. The program will be held at the Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Ave.,
7-9 pm, and is free and open to the public.
