The Batavia Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY July 1 1887 cont'd MR. TOMPKINS SUES FOR HIS HEDGE Richard G. TOMPKINS, who complained to the Board of Aldermen on June 15th that Health-Officer PALMER had destroyed eighty feet of his hedge fence on Ellicott street that day, and who wanted to know, but didn't Finn out, who gave the Health-Officer instructions, has brought suit for damages against Dr. PALMER and Aldermen EBLING, SHORT and SHULTS. He claims that the Health Officer was working under the orders of the Aldermen named. The suit will come off before Justice CROSBY next Wednesday. * LUXURIES FOR THE FOURTH. Mrs. NORTON will be well supplied with sandwiches, cakes, pies, cookies, etc., at her bakery on Jackson street. Also warm meals, ice cream, and lemonade all day July 4th at Mrs. H.J. DELANO's room, opposite the Opera House. Mrs. Minnie NORTON * BASE BALL NOTES. The Le Roy Gazette devotes a column this week to trying to prove that the base ball people of that village are not the greatest "kickers" in the Western New York League. And there is a man in Brockport trying to prove that the earth is flat. Work has been commenced upon the extension to the grand stand on the Association's grounds. It will be extended 50 feet to the south. A large banner, on which is inscribed "Base Ball To-day", is suspended across Main street. The banner is the work of F. RAMSDELL. Perry versus Batavia at the Swan street grounds this afternoon. * WESTERN NEW YORK PATENTS. Following is the list of patents granted to residents of Western New York for the week ending June 28th, furnished The News by Major O.E. DUFFY, No. 607 Seventh street, Washington, D.C.: G.L. ABBOTT, Corning, globe for electric lamps; J.M. BLAKE, Buffalo, lumber wagon; G.A. BOWEN, Medina, machine for making sand ores; W. BRADFORD, Brockport, potato digger; S.W. LOWELL, Belfast, evaporator; W.H. SEVERSON, Seneca Falls, hose cart' M. WATRON, Rochester, safety check valve. * FRUITLESS APPEAL OF A HOTEL MAN. Bergen, July 1.--B. HARFORD, a proprietor of the Harford House, upon which he has laid out a large sum of money for improvements and refurnishing, making it far superior to any other country hotel in Western New York, called the Board of Excise together last evening to consider his application for a license. The Board met and passed the following resolution: Resolved, That this Board will grant no licenses during the remainder of its official year, ending the first Monday of May, 1888. In accordance with the above resolution, the Harford application was rejected. It seems a little strange that the liquor with which the much-talked-about Dr. VAN ALLEN became intoxicated last Monday night should have been obtained in Bergen, which has been classed as a "dry" town since last May. Probably the "dryness" is more apparent than real. * EVENTS IN PAVILION. Pavilion, July 1.--There has been some talk that the Gilmore A.W. Co. are to enlarge their capacity here and are desirous of purchasing the blacksmith property of Wm. BUCKINGHAM, which lies adjoining. It is now decided that John COLE will at once put a new dwelling on the old Presbyterian church lot, which he recently purchased. A gospel temperance address will be given at the M.E. church on Sunday evening next. It is not decided who the speaker will be. The Baptist society in this place are without a pastor, the Rev. D.C. HERRELL's time having expired. There is found difficulty in raising his salary for another year. Although not of that faith, yet we hope he may be retained, as he is very much respected and an able and interesting preacher. J.Q.D. PAGE has begun the manufacture of apple barrels and his large store house with a capacity for holding several thousand barrels is being rapidly completed. Master Geo. HERRELL is having a tussle with the measles, the only casein town as yet. Mrs. Austin WALKER and daughter of Niles, Mich., are visiting at her brother's, M.S. STARR's. One of our prominent citizens will have a surprise party on Saturday afternoon. No names until next week. * submitted by L.C. Schmidt

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 16, 1925 SAY BLOW ON HEAD SENT CALEDONIAN DRIVING AIMLESSLY Maynard R. DREW Not Seen Since Tuesday Morning - Claimed To Have Been Attacked Sunday Night While on Way Home- Lost Consciousness and Was Robbed- Man of Good Habits, It Is Said. A blow from the back by an unknown prowler is believed to have sent Maynard R. DREW, 21, of Caledonia, wandering aimlessly about the countryside in a fog of temporary mental derangement. DREW disappeared from the farm of James JOHNSTON, where he worked, Tuesday morning in his touring car and has not been seen since. Sunday night DREW was driving home about 10 o'clock when, he says, he suddenly lost consciousness. Before he did so, however, he was aware of a movement in the tonneau of his car which he thought was empty. DREW lived in daze until Monday morning, friends having found him driving queerly in Caledonia the preceding night. Apparently a highwayman had hid in DREW'S car while it was parked and merely waited until DREW, entering it to drive home, reaching a convenient spot before hitting him on the head and knocking him unconscious. The prowler then proceeded to rob the unconscious man at his leisure. DREW'S friends believe, as DREW stated he had a sum of money with him Sunday night. He could not find the money when recollection returned to him Monday. DREW bears the reputation of a youth of good character and was not known to drink. He was dressed in overalls when last seen, has black hair, dark eyes and is about five feet six inches in height. Information as to DREW'S whereabouts will be welcomed by Justice of the Peace E. A. TENNENT of Caledonia. The license number of the car DREW drove is 5F5636 and the motor number 202.491. Monroe county authorities have received no communication about his absence. **** LITIGATION OF 15 YEARS IS STILL ON Judicial Settlement of Estate of Man Who Died 19 Years Ago To Come Up Next Week - Wills Admitted to Probate Litigation over the will of Michael KOLB, which has been continued in court for over 15 years, was adjourned to next Thursday by Surrogate Selden S. BROWN in Surrogate court today. The specific proceedings are concerned with the judicial settlement of the accounts of Leo A. SCHLITZER, formerly of Rochester, now of Buffalo, sole surviving executor of the decedent's estate. SCHLITZER, who is 82 years of age, wishes to give up his administration of the dead man's estate. The widow, Anna KOLB, also an executor of the $150,000 estate, died in 1920. Her husband died 19 years ago. Three Rochester persons are beneficiaries in the will of Frank S. SWAN, who died Jan. 7, in Los Angeles, Calif., leaving an estate of $13,000. They are Anna G. SWAN, widow of the deceased, Claud S. SWAN, brother, and Ada L. SWEET, sister. The will of Charles STRONG, who died June 6, divides his estate of $7,500 equally among three Rochester daughters, Vernie B. VAN VOORHIS, Emma E. PUGSLEY and Alice E. CARTER. The latter was named executor. Grace E. WELDERLY, daughter of Ella ALBERTSON, received in trust the decedent's estate, valued at $1,300.

PRESTON of Avon reserved decision. Mr. MALONEY of Wile, Oviatt & Gilman of Rochester represented the Raz delivery and Scott W. CRANE of Livonia, John FINNEGAN, whose machine CLEARY turned out for to avoid a collision. The first witness sworn was Dr. F. E. SQUIRES of Livonia, who attended the injured boy. He stated that death was due to shock, rupture of the bowels and internal hemorrhages. Frank MYKINS of 64 Huber road Rochester, who accompanied CLEARY on the trip, stated that he went just for a pleasure ride and that they were going only 15 miles an hour when the accident occurred. Dr. W. D. BECKER, who visited the scene shortly after the upset, testified that in his opinion the brake rod on the truck was pushed out before the accident. John FINNEGAN testified as follows: "At the time of the accident I was out to get some gas and was coming down the street and when I got down the street within 25 rods of the corner I looked back to see if anyone was coming. I hadn't gone three rods when that Raz came from behind me with a whiz. When they went by me on right side, I drove on down until it struck the tree. Then I stopped and went there to see if I could do anything for them." he said he wasn't more than 10 feet from the left curb and there was more room for a car to pass on the left than on the right. Other witnesses who testified were: Mrs. Ella SMITH into whose home CLEARY was taken after he was injured. William MINISTER, pedestrian; Earl HERRINGTON; auto mechanic; Sheriff Charles H.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 16, 1925 THREE KILLED BY EXPLOSION IN TANK CAR Niagara Falls, July 16 - Three men are dead and two injured as the result of an explosion in a tank car at the Mathieson alkali plant this noon. Two men were at work putting a rubberized coating on the inside of the car which is used for the shipping of bleaching liquids when they were overcome by the fumes of the coating substance. It is believed they used too much of the solution. Three workmen, learning of their plight, entered the car to effect a rescue, carrying with them an incandescent lamp. The lamp was defective and set fire to the fumes in the car. The car blazed until the fumes burned out. Then a body of workmen equipped with gas masks entered the car and brought the five out. They were all rushed to the hospital where three of them died. The other two are in a serious condition. **** OHIO WOMAN DIES FROM SHOCK; AUTO HIT BY R. & E. CAR Mrs. C. J. HOFFMAN, 48, of 512 East Dember street, Mt.

Her daughter was slightly injured and her two sons, all of whom were riding with her, escaped uncsathed. The accident occurred within a mile of the crossing where, less than a month ago, Ray K.

HOFFMAN'S daughter, Isabelle, 18, received cuts and bruises, and her two sons, Kenneth, 22, driver of the car, and Lloyd, 24, escaped without injury. Mrs. HOFFMAN died within 20 minutes after the accident and before the Highland Hospital ambulance could arrive. Heart trouble brought on by shock is given as the cause of her death. She received treatment from Dr. John VAN DOORN of Pittsford. According to witnesses of the accident and passengers of the car, the automobile, a large sedan, was coming toward Rochester when the accident occurred. The trolley was the Rochester and Eastern, Pittsford bound. Passengers say that the motorman, "Doc" MARTIN blew his whistle several blasts on approaching the crossing. The trolley struck the rear and the sedan, throwing it some 30 feet and whirling it around. Witnesses said that there were no evidence on the road that the brakes had been applied to the automobile and they believed that the driver tried to beat the trolley across the tracks.

Thanks Diane, You are correct about that, I do have many "qualifications" that I have acquired over this lifetime of mine... I too, have not really paid much attention to each birthday, but, this one seems like it could have an effect on me. (I am proud of my age, but, when this next one comes - it is more than six months away - I have the feeling I will be 'cowling' down a bit.) (If my friends and family are smart, they WILL NOT be giving me any of those horrible BLACK baloons!!) As far as the diffinition of what a "Disorderly House" is, thanks "Mfallonr" for the explanation. I have read many old newspaper abstracts, and come across the term myself. I had no idea it meant a house of ill-repute! (I felt sorry for the women getting in trouble, for having a 'messy' house. Atleast I know now). Thanks to both of you Diane and "Mfallonr"! Kathy

The only birthdays I actually paid attention to were my quarter-century and half-century. Just think of all the "qualifications" you've acquired just by staying alive and look forward to the 3/4 century mark. Diane Katanderson25@aol.com wrote: >Hmmm, young?

Batavia Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Friday Evening, July 1 1887 FROM DAWN TO MIDNIGHT. Programme for Batavia's Unparalleled Celebration. One Event will Closely Follow Another--the Races, Balloon Ascension, Base Ball, Calathumpian parade, Fireworks. It is promised that the celebration of American Independence in Batavia next Monday will be the largest, most attractive and positively the best demonstration ever gotten up in Genesee county, or in fact in Western New York, outside of the two large cities. The programme, which is printed below, tells what may be expected, and The News has the assurance of the Executive Committee that everything will be carried out as advertised: At sunrise 111 guns will be fired, bells will be rung, etc., to awake the people, and at 9 a.m. there will be a National salute of thirteen guns to the thousands who will at that hour be pouring into town. At 10 a.m. there will be a grand parade, headed by the Akron Cornet Band of twenty pieces, and including carriages containing the Mayor, Board of Aldermen, Speaker of the Day, Prof. HYDE's Choir, and prominent citizens. At 11 o'clock the exercises in the park will begin. There will be music by the Akron Band, singing the National airs by Prof. HYDE's choir, reading of the Declaration of Independence by Charles W. STICKLE and an oration by the Hon. A.P. BUTTS of Brockport, reputed to be an able, eloquent and entertaining speaker. At 1 p.m. there will be a bicycle race, open to the county, best 2 in 3, the starting point to be at the corner of Main and State streets and the course to be to Washington avenue, to Bank street, to Main street, to the starting point. The prizes will be two gold badges, valued at $15 and $10, respectively. At 2 p.m. a wheelbarrow race for a purse at $5 will be run from Ellicott to Main streets on Jackson street, followed by a sack race for $5 from the Trumbull block to Main street. The greased pole climbing will come next. It will be planted at the corner of Main and Jackson streets, and there will be a $5 bill on top for the man who gets there first. At 3 p.m. the hose race will take place on Main street from Bank to Court streets, a distance of 300 yards. The prizes are $40 to first, $25 to second; three teams to start; teams limited to twelve men, to draw their own carriages. At 4 p.m. the grand balloon ascension will be made from Court street, by ALLEN Bros., the famous aeronauts, with their immense air-ship, which will be used by them for the first time on this occasion. While making the ascension the aeronauts will perform many daring feats from their trapeze suspended in mid-air. At 5 p.m. the Calathumpians will appear on dress parade, headed by the Akron Band. "This parade," the announcement says, "will be the most unique in conception, extravagant in its completeness, mirth-provoking in its hilariousness and amusing in its grotesqueness ever seen in Western New York,, rivalling in gorgeous splendor the Queen's Jubilee Pageant and the combined efforts of Barnum and Forepaugh." A prize of $5 cash will be given to the resident of Batavia who produces the most attractive team in the Calathumpian parade, and a silver watch will be given the owner of the team from out the county that makes the best impression at the same time. Everybody appearing in the parade will be presented with a cigar. At 8:30 the immense display of fireworks will be commenced from two stands on Main streets, one at the corner of Bank street and one at the corner of the Park. During the day--at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.--there will be two games of base ball at the Association's handsome grounds on Swan street, between the Batavias and Akrons. Good order will be maintained and the events will take place punctually under the direction of the Marshal, ex-Sheriff SOUTHWORTH. Everybody and his family, Le Royans included, are cordially invited to come and join in the celebration. submitted by L.C. Schmidt

Hmmm, young? I will be 1/2 of a century old this year. (I am not feeling very young this year. Maybe after 'the big event', I will have a different opinion. (Hopefully)). Okay, I give, what DOES the phrase mean?? Thanks! Kathy (again) :-)

CROUCH, of Engine 13, suffered a bad fracture of the shoulder after midnight last night when he fell through the burning floor of the building at 280 Jefferson avenue, into the cellar. Captain CROUCH was directing his men in fighting a blaze which did about $2,000 damage and drove several persons into the street before it was checked. The injured captain was given first aid treatment by a physician and was taken to his home. The fire started from an overheated oven in the ground floor bakery of Oscar LUERESTER, and ate its way through the floor into the cellar. Captain CROUCH stepped on a part of the charred and weakened floor, falling several feet to the cellar bottom below. Battalion Fire Chief GALLAGHER estimated damage to the building at about $1,000 and to bakery stock at about the same figure. Shortly after 6 o'clock this morning firemen were called to extinguish a blaze in a vacant barn in Aiken alley. It is believed that the fire was started by boys building a bonfire. The barn is owned by John MILLER. Damages was estimated at about $10. **** NUSBAUM WILL CONTEST ENDS WITH PROBATE Reuben Nusbaum, Son, of Philadelphia, Claimed Undue Influence - Receives $709.53 - Bequests to Family The will of Meyer NUSBAUM, who died August 23, 1924, leaving an estate valued at $60,000 was admitted to probate yesterday by Surrogate Selden H. BROWN following his dismissal of objection on a stipulation filed by Wile, Oviatt & Gilmore for the objector and Sutherland & Dwyer for the executor. The decedent was head of Meyer Nusbaum & Company, dealers in linings. Rueben NUSBAUM, a son, of Philadelphia, brought the contest of the will claiming undue influence and lack of testamentary capacity. Reuben NUSBAUM was cut off with an interest valued at only $709.53. Although the terms of the settlement mentioned no further consideration, it is understood other heirs eventually will convey to him a larger portion of the property. The share of Mrs. Rachel NUSBAUM, the widow, is valued at $10,609.20. Maurice NUSBAUM, a son of Pittsburgh, was willed $1,354.43. Several bequests, ranging from $100 to $500, are made to grandchildren and other relatives and there are several bequests to Jewish charities and institutions. The rest is divided equally among three children, Abe, Lesser and Jennie NUSBAUM, who were the testator's partners in the lining business. Each received approximately $12,500. **** RAPID PROGRESS MADE IN PHOTOS TAKEN FROM AIR Lieut. George W. GODDARD of the Army Air Service, and Dr. S. S. BURKA, government physicist, demonstrated to Senator James W. WADSWORTH, Jr., that the development of pictures in an airplane is now an accepted thing, when they took a picture of the senator's home and nine minutes later dropped the finished photograph on his lawn. The two aviators, who are from the Dayton, Ohio, experimental field, used a new reversible paper which gives a print from the negative used in making the picture. The possibilities of this aerial photography are unlimited for scouting purposes in war-time. Other photographs taken in this manner by the army photographers include a picture of Kodak park, which was dropped in front of C. E. Kenneth MEES' office seven minutes after it had been taken. Dr. BURKA believes that within a short time it will be possible to take and develop pictures in three minutes. The pictures were taken from a DeHaviland plane and all types of photographs were made. The plane, which has been here for two days, started for Dayton at noon today and the men expected to make the trip in four hours. They will return to Rochester for further tests in a month. **** PROFESSOR ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON BIBLE The Rev. Dr. John F. VICHERT, who is giving a series of talks at the midweek meetings of the Baptist Temple on questions asked by Bible students will speak this evening on"The Mirror of the Ages."

WASHBURN of Lawrence street and Mr. Harold R. PRINCE, son of Mr. Frederick PRINCE of Meigs street were married on Saturday, June 27th at the home of the bride by the Rev. Ralph H.

BARBER, Miss Margaret McCORMICK and Miss Laura KILMER, all of Auburn. Mr. and Mrs. PRINCE left on a motor trip to Washington, D. C. **** HASBROUCK - SMITH The marriage of Miss Prudence P.
