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 Corwaw's after oats. He met Brum Rorabacher near Cephas Nelson's. Brum wasa 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. Comments Write a public comment…
