Monday August 18 ,2008 TroyRecord Article 100years agoTuesday August 18 ,1908 “ Political custom of the era dictates that the party follow their candidate back from the political convention to notify him of his nomination. The Republican party does this by following James S. Sherman back to Utica to tell him he is the running mate of William Howard Taft. Politicians in the 19th and early 20th century weren't supposed to look like they were promoting themselves for office. Taft isn't there but Secretary of State Elihu Root is there .Incoming trains brought throngs of visitors while inter –urban trolleys from points as far west as Syracuse were crowded to capacity. Bands played and the train carrying the nominating committee is given a 19 gun salute. Patriotic decorations are everywhere and a big electrical sign of welcome is hung on an old bridge. Following the official notification by Missouri senator Julius C. Burrows, Sherman delivers "one of the shortest speeches ever put on record by a candidate for so high an office".” **************Life should be easier. So should your homepage. Try the NEW AOL.com.

Saturday August 16, 2008 TroyRecord Article 100years agoSunday August 16 , 1908 “Irving Whitbeck of 79 Bowery Street ,Cohoes,is one of 5 youths camping in Halfmoon for the weekend.The 22 year old carpenters apprentice made camp about ½ mile north of the Cohoes company’s dam on the Saratoga side of the Mohawk River. Close to the boys camp is an electric tower supporting high tension wires,about 50 feet in the air, belonging to the Hudson River Power Company. Several of Whitbecks companions climb a pole and carve their initials, about 30 feet up. Whitbeck climbed higher than the rest,close to the wires and was about to descend whence threw up his hands and fell onto the live wires. A team of linemen finally bring his body down. The Mechanicville coroner arrives and orders the remains taken to Lemon’s undertaking parlor in Cohoes. Whitbeck is survived by his brother and his mother,the widow of former Fifth Ward supervisor Peter L. Whitbeck.” Photo of the day Troy Record Saturday August 16, 2008 1948 photo of Gorsky/Soltys Tavern Cohoes baseball Team; Butch Boyoli pitcher ,Metro Schsick 3rd base, Joe Koval 1ST base, Joe Helnarski shortstop, Willy McGee centerfield, Bing Jacon catcher, Al Colozza left field, Johnny Colozza left field, Joe Soltys right field, Jack Gorski 2nd base, Jack Gorski Jr bat boy **************Life should be easier.

During the year 1885, nearly 170,000 barrels of ale, porter and lager were brewed in Troy. On 9/25/1963 fire wrecked the Stanton Brewing Company and the Fitzgerald Brewery burned on 11/1/1964. People doing research, knowing their ancester worked for a brewery, have a tendency to think of Stanton, Quandts or Fitzgeralds however they could have worked for one of the lesser known; "Samuel Bolton and Sons", "Conway Brothers & Kane", "Donohue,Tierney & Isengart", "Kennedy & Murphy","Stoll's", "Kirchners", "Ruschers", "Troy Brewing Co.", "Cold Spring Brewery" "Daly's", "Gaffigah Brothers", "Hoghen,Thomas" or "Edward Tracy". The last two were "Maltsters", not acutal breweries. This gives you an idea of why there were so many taverns in Troy, someone had to sell and drink what was produced.

Pooley, a North End man who lives just outside city limits at Oakwood and Seventeenth(now 117th ) Street,was showing the newly purchased gun to a friend. He bought it for the purpose of protecting his farm. Charges of carrying a concealed weapon were dismissed since Magistrate Jones notes that there is no other way for the weapon to be delivered to the home unless someone carried it there.

The reason was not only merchants and citizens complained,but pedestrians who say they were stopped for money solicitation and the crowd made an dangerous spot thru presence and actions. Magistrate Abbott Jones takes only one of the story’s seriously, Charles Hughes who it turns out was released from the hospital yesterday and had just stopped to rest when the police made the raid. The six remaining are fined 10$ but unable to pay, will stay in jail for the next 10 days.
