Charlie wouldn't budge. -- M.L.C. Remember the days at Hull's when the bark peelers came to town? There was always blood all over the hotel porch the following morning. -- M.M.G. Remember when we all quit school in april to get a job in the bottle factory up at Ladona? -- D.T.K. Back of West street, on Second street where Benj. Rennells had a barn, was the old ashery where potash was made. A Mr. Rose operated it. Upon the hill lived the Starkweathers, and the old road leading down the river, went up the hill from Third street, near A.B. Mann's, and followed along the hill and came out near the Chestnut street bridge. Again it was changed and came down the hill near Kathleen Stephens' and finally along the Braitling stone quarry. Before the Fair Grounds were built, the horse races were run on the straight stretch from the Eulalia Cemetery, down below Uncle Seth Taggart's (Julius Colcord's). There was a board fence on either side of the road and it was pretty frail. The crowd would go down and sit on the fence to witness the races, when down would go a length or two, and they would move down and get a new seat and then down it would go. By the time the race was over, Uncle Seth's fence on both sides of the road was nearly all broken down. David White, Sol Ross, Mart Larrabee, Will Thompson and Marlin Olmsted all had racers and Ike Dingman a mule he rode bareback. The purse was $10; time 4 or 5 minutes. Most of the time Ike's mule won unless they kept him out. Comments Write a public comment…

BENJAMIN RENNELLS died Wednesday morning, May 16, 1917 at his residence on First Street, after failing rapidly for a week or more, at the advanced age of 95.

Born in Bradford County where Canton now stands, April 5, 1822.
His father, Ezra Rennels came to Potter County when Ben was nine years old, but afterwards returned to Bradford County to care for his parents. He came here to work on the Coudersport and Jersey Shore turnpike, the first outlet for Potter County to the outside world. Of the four boys, Ben, Alvin, George, and Ezra, remained in Potter, which was then a most primitive settlement. Ezra was killed by a fall in the Coudersport stone quarry, while Alvin lived to a good old age as a farmer in Summit Township. They had two sisters, but now all the family are dead.

Even at 95, Mr. Rennells had a clear recollection of his early life and the stirring events incident to the settlement and development of this back woods section. He made his home with Major Isaac Strait while a young man and upon reaching his majority, learned the blacksmith trade, at which he worked continuously, with the exception of three years when he engaged in farming to improve his health. He maintained a shop in Coudersport until his 60th year.

In July 1847, he was married to Maria Nelson and to them three children were born. One died in infancy, and a daughter, Martha, died at 18. The son, W. Cyrenus, married Ella Strait, and they have three children, Cora, a teacher in the Coudersport schools; Edna, wife of Lee Vorhees, a banker in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and William, also of Okmulgee. W. Cyrenus Rennells has held many boro and county offices, and is at present county auditor. He and his good wife have given the aged father the most patient care during his declining years.

Benjamin Rennells has been one of the most highly respected of the many noble pioneers of Potter County, a man of sound judgment, total abstinence, kindliness and rugged honesty. He was a member of the M. E. Church, in which he was for many years, a veritable pillar. He was a charter member of Eulalia Lodge, F. and A. M., of which he was Past Master.

The funeral will be held Friday at two o’clock at the house.

Way Back When
Remember when Charlie Maynard played the trap drum in the West Street Theater and Swingall, the hypnotist, tried to put the "fishy eye" on him? Charlie wouldn't budge.
-- M.L.C.
Remember the days at Hull's when the bark peelers came to town? There was always blood all over the hotel porch the following morning.
-- M.M.G.
Remember when we all quit school in april to get a job in the bottle factory up at Ladona?
-- D.T.K.
There was the old Metzger sawmill that stood at the head of East street where Mrs. A.F. Smith now resides. Owen Metzger was the head sawyer. Cephas Niles on the lath machine. Bill Thomas was fireman and others, now forgotten. The pond was along the side of the street, where Mrs. Howard Stone now lives, and we used to skate on it.

Back of West street, on Second street where Benj. Rennells had a barn, was the old ashery where potash was made. A Mr. Rose operated it. Upon the hill lived the Starkweathers, and the old road leading down the river, went up the hill from Third street, near A.B. Mann's, and followed along the hill and came out near the Chestnut street bridge. Again it was changed and came down the hill near Kathleen Stephens' and finally along the Braitling stone quarry.
Before the Fair Grounds were built, the horse races were run on the straight stretch from the Eulalia Cemetery, down below Uncle Seth Taggart's (Julius Colcord's). There was a board fence on either side of the road and it was pretty frail. The crowd would go down and sit on the fence to witness the races, when down would go a length or two, and they would move down and get a new seat and then down it would go. By the time the race was over, Uncle Seth's fence on both sides of the road was nearly all broken down.
David White, Sol Ross, Mart Larrabee, Will Thompson and Marlin Olmsted all had racers and Ike Dingman a mule he rode bareback. The purse was $10; time 4 or 5 minutes. Most of the time Ike's mule won unless they kept him out.
Bill Brown was going up to Corsaw's after oats. He met Brum Rorabacher near Cephas Nelson's. Brum was a fighter and a strong man. He stumped Bill to trade horses. They finally did so right in the road. Bill went on, Brum came to Coudersport and stopped at Bill's hotel. When Bill returned, Brum said to him "Say, Bill, that horse of yours was blind." "That's all right" says Bill, "so was yours."
-- H.W.N.
