Logansport Pharos-Tribune from Logansport, Indiana • Page 3

SUNDAY, JULY 2, 1961. 'fjn fh-v THE PHAROS-TRIBUNE and LOGANSPORT PRESS, LOGANSFORT. INDIANA PAGE THREE This Changing World (By Will Ball, Cass County Historical Society President.) Part BBS Readers may remember a letter lo the writer of this column from Mrs. Clara Mehaffie Enders (Mrs. Ira of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

In her letter Mrs. Enders mentioned Eva Peters Reynolds, niece of Judge Horace P. Bkldle, whom this column had discussed a few weeks previously. In her letter she r.lso told that a Logansport friend sends this column to her, (she and her husband are both former Logans- porlers) that she in turn sends it lo her sister in Arlington, Virginia, who keeps it going by sending it to her sister-in-law in Philadelphia. Last Monday evening we answered our telephone, to be greatly to have a feminine voice say: "This is Clara Mehaffie Eners." who.

with her husband, is visiting in her old home town. We made a dale for the following afternoon at the Museum. The next afternoon Mr. Enders came in alone, explaining that Mrs. Enders was unavoidably detained, so the two of us got down to business and "fanned the breeze," as only two old-timers can do when the going gels really good.

We had never met before, but have hosts of mutual friends, so we found plenty to talk about. He told us that Mrs. Enders' sister, Mary Mehaffie, had mar- JACOBY ON BRIDGE HOW TO PICK OPENING LEAD KOETH AKS4 VK38 'WSS'S 109653 VJS SOUTH VA95 Sto one Sooth West North East 1N.T. JPass -SKT. Sass lass Openine This week's articles will dea' with principles involved in choosing your opening lead.

You aren't going to make the killing lead all the time, or even the great majority of the time, but if you follow these principles you will make i' nften enough so that you will be a popular partner. The first principle to learn is that in general you should attack Thus, with today's hand you auto matically open your fourth bes heart against South's three no trump contract. This lead cost you a trick, but it is also likely to set the hand if you catch your partner with one honor in the suit. Why do you lead your fourth best and not the third or fifth It just happens that 100 years ex perience in whist and its succes sjrs has proven that the fourtl best lead is most effective. Your partner produces the jacl nf hearts.

Declarer probably wil duck in both hands, but a seconi heart lead will knock out one his stoppers. He will lead either a diamont or spade and you should gral your ace immediately and knocl out the other high heart. Even tually, you will beat the hand om trick. Robert Gemmill, another Logansport boy, whose grandfather, 'homas H. Bringhurst, had sold lis saw-mill on the south side of Markel street, east of Eel river, where he made black walnut ve- icer, in order to found the Lo- jansport Journal in 1849; had en- isted in the 46th Indiana, Ihe regiment that was recruited on West Side just one lundred years ago this summer, and had been a prominent citizen mtil his death in Ihe 1890's.

His lome was at 730 East Broadway. Robert Gemmill has passed on, but his son, Henry, is Washington representative of the Wall Street Journal; he just recently returned 'rom Europe, where he had accompanied President Kennedy's jarty, having gone on to Ssveden on other matters. Mrs. Gemmill's sister-in-law is lulia Gemmill Cumins (Mrs. Le- Soy) who lives in Yeadon, one of many Philadelphia suburbs, and who, incidentally, is a life member of the Cass County Historical Society.

It's interesting to that she gets this column. Just now, Mr. Enders told us, Mrs. Gemmill is recuperating rather serious surgery, and Mrs. Crimins is with her until she recovers.

It's a small world, isn't it, and Logansport people and their descendants do get around don't they? Readers may also remember another letter received by this and also published by the Press, from Mrs. Jessie MeMul- len lies, in which she told how the neighborhood kids used to call on Judge Biddle, and how he would invite them in and talk to them. She recalled that she would sometimes cross the bridge in town to get the Judge a loaf of bread. We've had another note from Mrs. lies in which she tells us that the bread she bought for the Judge was a special kind to be found only at Hoppe's, on the southeast corner of Third and Market.

These loaves were round, instead of the kind we buy today, and the crust was very dark, almost black in color. The loaves weren't wrapped, as bread, and practically everything else we buy today is, but were dumped out on the counter, where they lay until sold, when Henry Hoppe would wrap them in a piece of the dark brown straw paper made by the South Side paper mill on the Hamilton Taber mill race on (he South Side. Mrs. lies wasn't sure about there being any bakeries down town then, except that she had a vague recollection of one east of Greensfelder's store on Markel slreet. The number would be 317 today.

She is right; (here was a bakery on that site, located in a small two story frame building that was replaced by the present brick building fifty or sixty years ago. The bakery was owned and operated by John D. Ferguson, whose family, so Mrs. Bertha Ferguson Foskelt told the writer the other day, lived in the apartment up- Ferguson's foreman was John Niederberger father of a cute six-year-old red-headed boy, who wore that brilliant red hair in shoulder-long curls. He was only about half, the age of the writer when we knew him, but we accompanied him one day when he went into the bakery to see his father about sometfling.

It was our first visit into a manufacturing establishment of any sort, and we were thrilled by the sight of so many least a half- busy at specified tasks. The Niederberger home was at 617 North; the writer lived at 128 Sixth, just around the corner. While we didn't play with Willis Niederberger, We were 12, so didn't play with was generally somewhere around when we came home from school. There were a half-dozen or so other bakeries scattered around town at the time; there always have been, since the very early days, but they apparently were out of the range of Jessie McMullen's travels. We have in the Museum a copy of the Logansport Canal-Telegraph dated June 20, 1835, which is about seven years after Chauncey Carter platted the town, on April 10, 1828; so the town was pretty new.

One side of the ads in that old paper on which it is printed being as white as the sheet at which you are reads like this: FRESH BREAD. The subscriber having attached a Baking house to his Grocery, will at all times be prepared to furnish families others, with good fresh bread. John Dgdd. April 15, 1835." Dodd doesn't give the address at which his new "Baking house" was to be found; it-was hardly necessary, for the town limits were the two rivers on the north and south, with Fifth street the boundary on the east. Very few lived on the far sides of either stream.

However, Hugh McKeen, whose place of business was near the "Point" about where Small's bakery is now, at the foot of Eel River avenue, McKeen had moved to the suburbs, on the north side of Eel river, about where the bridge is now. And an old plat, which we acquired last week, shows a house, near the south bank of the Wabash, on the Matlock farm. That may have been the home of Ann, Matlock, who, eleven years later, married Horace Biddle. Auto Rolls Down Hill, Hits Two Other Cars A car owned by Gerald Williams, 16 rolled down an incline and crashed into two other cars at 12:12 a.m. Saturday after he had parked it on Wilkinson street between Bates and Miami.

He was cited by police for leaving a vehicle unattended with the motor running. Two passengers in the car, Laura Llewellen, 721 Bates, and Mrs. Harvey Sorenson, 609 Washington, were uninjured. Considerable damage was done to the other cars, owned by James M. Insley, 809 Wilkinson, and Matilda Pennington, 805 Wilkinson.
