This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Expo Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zJB.2ACE/329.2.1 Message Board Post: >From "The Daily News, History of Buchanan County and St. Joseph, Missouri" This is scanned from an OCR reader so there is no doubt a few errors. Early in 1889, when St. Joseph was proud with prosperity, when the spirit of enterprise was upon the people, and when nothing was too big to undertake, it was decided to have an exposition, the magnitude and novelty of which would overshadow not only all previous efforts at home, but elsewhere in the West. Sioux City had astonished the world with a corn palace, Denver with a mineral palace, Fort Worth, Texas, with a grass palace, and Ottumwa, Ia., with a coal palace, but St. Joseph was to eclipse all of these with a New Era exposition. The genius of this undertaking was H. D. Perkey, who had come here during the previous summer and who had but recently established steel car works at Brookdale. Mr. Perkey had been prominently connected with the Mineral Palace at Denver and was therefore in a position to take the leadership of this movement. On April 4, 1889, the National Railway, Electric and Industrial Exposition Association was formed, with a capital stock of one million dollars. The association was to continue for one year and was incorporated under the laws of Colorado, because these laws did not require so large a proportion of the capital stock to he paid up as the laws of Missouri. It was to have a national scope and offices were, to be established in every state capital. The incorporators were G. J. Englehart, John S. Lemon, R. E. Turner, C. B. France, A. M. Saxton, John Donovan, Jr., R. L. McDonald, D. M. Steele, George W. Samuels, Louis flax, Wm. E. Hosea, D. D. flumes, H. R. W. Hartwig, S. C. Woo! dson, F. M. Posegate, T. F. Van Natta, S. A. Walker, A. M. Dougherty, W. B. Smith, Harry Keene, J. Francis Smith, R. T. Davis and Winslow Judson. The directors were John S. Emery, Chas. A. Shoup, W. J. Hobson, Herschel Bartlett, Robert Winning, 3>. C. Bonnell and H. D. Perkey. Alarge tract of land east of the city, beyond Wyatt Park, and surrounding the Steel Car Company’s plant, was secured and prepared during the summer. The Car Company had a building 80x960 feet, which was used as a shop. The western portion of thisbuilding, which was two stories in height, was made the main hail of the Exposition The grounds were dotted with beautiful pavilions, two score in number, of quaint architecture “Korn is King” was the motto of the enterprise and this idea was carried into every decoration The pavilions and buildings were decked with cereals in various colorings and design The effect was entrancing, especially at night when the grounds were fully illuminated with electric lights. The most admired of the pavilions were the “Ladies’ Palace of Delights,” the “Reporters’ Lodge,” “Pomona’s Pavilion,’ “Cupid’s Bower” Pocahontas” 2��Mondamin,” and ‘Horticultural Hall” Aside from the buildings there were artificial lakes! , waterfalls an old grist mill and other picturesque novelties. The architectural triumph, however, was the amphitheatre, which hid a seating capacity of eleven thousands and an arena of two acres. The exposition opened on September 3, 1889 and continued to October 3. Bach’s band, a famous musical organization of Milwaukee was engaged for tivo concerts daily in the amphitheatre Capt. Jack Crawford the “poet scout, was director of entertainments in the arena, and he had, beside a band of cowboys, several hundred Apache Indians General Russell A Alger of Michigan formally opened the exposition. Hon. Jeremiah Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, spoke in the amphitheater on September 18th and on September 23d Governor Larrabee of Iowa and Governor Francis of Missouri spoke there also. The attendance was not what it should have been. If the time had been ten days instead of one month the effort might have met. with better reward. Mr. Perkey doubtless had some good ideas, but they did not fit this case, and there were, consequently, disappointments. However, the difficulties might have been overcome had not an irreparable disaster visited the exposition. On Sunda! y night, September 15, at about 9 o’clock, just as the crowds were leaving the grounds, flames burst from the roof of the main building. The fire was beyond control from the start and the entire building, with all of its contents, excepting two pianos and a carriage in which General Lafayette had toured Virginia, were destroyed. The loss was $193,000, upon which there was only $50,000 insurance. One life was lost. Capt. John Foster, a guard, who had quarters in the building, near where the fire broke out, was burned to death. The fire is supposed to have originated from defective electric wiring. At a meeting of the Board of Trade on the following day it was decided to at once rebuild Machinery Hall, but this was not done. The Exposition continued until October 3, and then there was a benefit week for employees. The buildings stood until the following year and were gradually removed. There is nothing left to mark the location of the brilliant but ill-fated New Era Exposition, and it lives to-day only as a painful memory with those who backed it heavily. There was no race track connected with the New Era Exposition, but this class of sport was provided by the Lake Shore Cornpany. A half-mile track was built at Lake Contrary and a grandstand with a seating capacity of 3,000 was erected: Mayor H. R. W. Hartwig was president of the company and Captain Charles F. Ernst secretary. The first meeting was held September 17, 18, 19 and 20, 1889. Several meetings were subsequently held, but the ventures were not profitable.

Surnames: HARDWICK, BURCH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zJB.2ACE/329.3 Message Board Post: I would be very interested in hearing more about this "wild west show". My uncle was born Leslie BURCH in 1885. He later joined (early 1900's ??) a "wild west show" as a trick-shot artist, and starred in western movies. Family lore says that he used various "stage names" during this period, most notably "Dead-eye Dick". After he married, his wife joined his act, where he would shoot the ashes off a cigarette held in her mouth. He claimed to be from Montana, but was actually born near St. Louis, however, he often visited his grandmother in St. Joseph, Missouri. As we don't have any information about which "wild west show" he traveled with, any information or suggestions for learning more about him or Hardwick's show would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Art Burch

"For more than a quarter of a century Ira Lester Reynolds has made his home in Ogden, where he is now most capably and efficiently filling the position of secretary and manager of the Weber Club, the leading business and social organization of Ogden. Mr. Reynolds was born near St. Joseph, Missouri, on the 1st of June, 1869, a son of Francis Marion and Amanda Rebecca (Bell) Reynolds, both of whom have passed away. The parents were natives of Kentucky, and the father engaged in the raising of high bred stock on his large plantation, removing as he did at the close of the Civil war to Missouri. After attending the public schools of his native state, Ira L. Reynolds continued his education in the State Normal School at Stanberry, Missouri, from which he was graduated with the class of 1888. At the age of eighteen he took up the profession of teaching, which he followed about four years. He then turned his attention to railroading, having served the Burlington and the Union Pacific at St. Joseph, follwing the latter to the general office at Omaha and then to Ogden in 1893. Here he has made his home throughout the intervening years and has been closely and helpfully associated with various features of the city's growth and development. In 1906 he took charge of the Weber Club as secretary and manager. This club is today one of the leading commercial and social organizations of the state, and itss development is largely attributable to Mr. Reynolds' fine executive ability, his administrative powers and his diplomatic manner and tact. He has steadily built up the organ! ization, drawing the membership from the most substantial and leading citizens of the state, until now there is about six hundred names upon the membership rolls. The club has become a power in promoting the policy, advancing the interests and shaping the upbuilding of Ogden. In 1894 Mr. Reynolds was married to Miss Lena DeVorss of St. Joseph, Missouri. They are well known socially in Ogden, the hospitality of the best homes of the city being cordially extended to them. Mr. Reynolds belongs to the Ogden Golf & Country Club; also to the Elks Lodge, No., 719; and in Masonry he has attained high rank, his membership being in Weber Lodge, No., 6; Ogden Chaper. R. A. M.; Knight Templar El Monte Commandery, all of Ogden and El Kaiah Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Salt Lake City. Mr. Reynolds' resourcesfulness is one of the salient features in his sucessful career as a club manager, and his progressive spirit dominates all that he undertakes. He has a fine sense of discrimination in the exploiting of industries helpful to Ogden and Weber county, often times saving his superior officers the embarrassment of backing some enterprise without merit. He has always by nature been modest and retiring, too much so perhaps for his own good, keeping himself in the background so far as possible but tending valuable consel to his associates and then generously bestowing the credit to the other fellow."
