Eagle Lake Revisited 

1920-1930 

Based on the Ticonderoga Sentinel

Eagle Lake - Ticonderoga Sentinel 

The Eagle Lake news for 1920-1923 was created around the dining room 

table at Bedlam Point by the Harris family and Leighton Lodge (Gladys' 

oldest brother) with help from Gladys and youngest brother, Alvin. The 

news was hand delivered to the Ticonderoga Sentinel office. 

The Harris family and their cook spent early June to early October at their 

Eagle Lake house. They traveled to the lake from their home in Buffalo, 

first by train and later by automobile. Their dogs Frantz and Fritzi 

accompanied them. Visitors included Grandmother Haist, Uncle Foster, 

girls' school friends, and Harold Popp. The Kleydorf family visited during 

the summer of 1918. 

l The 

I 

The Harrises had two row boats, one named Tuppy, and a Sponson canoe. 

The Harrises enjoyed hikes to Camel's Head, Eagle Cliff, Potter (for 

blueberries), Pharoah, Rock Pond, Hammondville Mines, Chilson, 

Pyramid Pond, Putt's Pond, Stonylonesome, and the graphite mines. 

following news collection re-creates the Eagle Lake columns found in 

the Ticonderoga Sentinel during the 1920's. As introduction, a Chilson 

column from 1919 is included because of its reference to the Harrises. I 

found no evidence of an Eagle Lake column in the Sentinel for 1919 or 1924 

1928. The column did appear again in 1929 and 1930 under new 

authorship. These local columns were usually submitted by residents. 

This presentation is built around the Eagle Lake news found in the 

Ticonderoga Sentinel during the 1920's. I viewed microfilm of the Sentinel 

at the Ticonderoga Historical Society to identify relevant weekly issues. 

Later, I used microfilm borrowed through inter-library loan from the 

Adirondack Museum library at Blue Mountain Lake, NY, to the Hingham, 

MA, public library. Maps of Eagle Lake follow the news. The pictures 

(enlargements) taken in the Harris yard in August, 1990, show sunset and 

a 92nd birthday celebration for Uncle Edward Archbald - with Caroline K. 

Harris (left), Jean H. Archbald (right), and Bill Baldwin (concealed). 

My thanks to Jean Harris Archbald for the above family history and for her 

inspiration and information gathering assistance. Also, thank you to Jean 

and Margel Harris Hinder for their comments on the re-created Eagle Lake 

news. Their remarks and identifications, added on pages following each 

year's news, enrich the otherwise straight re-writing.

Among the latest to purchase an auto is Raymond Hall. 

Arthur DuRoss wishes to correct a statement in week before last's 

Sentinel. He claims that the Mrs. Arthur DuRoss mentioned in connection 

with the auto accident is a myth and that he is still free and in the 

rnatrimonial market. 

The city people are nearly all at the lake. Among the latest arrivals are 

Wm. Lodge and family and Mrs. Runge and family and Mr. Harris and 

family. 

Fred Hundsdon and Charles Hall were in Port Henry Monday, being 

called there on the law suit pending about the settlement of the George 

Houghtuling estate. 

}4'red Gonyea and family were gucsts of Mr. and Mrs. George Osicr 

Sunday.

1920 EAGLE LAKE 

July 15, 1920 

The Turtle Rock has recently been repainted. 

Our camouflaged car "Morning Glory" which stood in front of Alanson 

Moore's barn all winter, left under its own power and is reported speeding 

southward at a rattling pace, piloted by Colonel Porthos, accompanied by 

Mrs. Rich. The lake is strangely silent now. 

Herbert Moore's pig is still at large. Motorists are requested to drive 

with care in this vicinity. A rewurd of $1.00 (one dollar) iH offered by L. 

Lodge to anyone who will catch said pig single handed. Mr. Lodge must 

witness the caich. $:1.00

A serious accident was narrowly averted Friday night about seven 

o'clock by the presence of mind of Captain Alvin Lodge. Captain Alvin had 

a large party of friends in his speed boat "Tubbo" and while some distance 

from Herbert Moore's dock, while running at a high speed, the boat struck 

a sunken log, tearing a large hole in the bottom. Captain Lodge 

immediately threw himself into the hole and thus stopped the inrush of 

water, as he headed for the dock, ordering his passengers to be calm. The 

commotion attracted the attention of Prof. Fritz Garis, Ph. D., of Union 

College, Schenectady, who frantically rowed to the rescue, removing the 

passengers. The captain preferred to remain aboard as the boat settled to 

the bottom. We are hoping f Carnagie medal for Prof Garris. 

There is one black sheep in the Eagle Lake Inn flock ofboats. 

Mr. Thompson on Charles Island either loves trouble or is very brave. 

He has both the power boat "Tin Lizzie" and the speed boat "lola" in 

commission. 

The outboard motor used by Tom Stowell is so noisy it wakes us up 

mornings. He should hang a tomato can over the exhaust for a muffier. 

"Spike" Foster has discovered that a gimlet will not remove ice cream 

without puncturing the freezer. 

Drusilla Garis has made a wonderful recovery from her recent attack of 

measles, due to the distance from medical assistance. 

It is a matter of record that Mrs. Alanson Moore opened the bathing 

season here. 

Mrs. Mary Moore captured the pig in the chicken coop by the hind leg. 

Trench warfare is being waged by motorists along the road. Notice the 

depth of the diches. 

Some persons on the lake feel they have not received sufficient publicity. 

If they will send their names, age and present occupation to the compiler of 

this column same ill appear in the obituary notices. 

It costs Mr. Crumb of Albany $5 to get a shave and hair cut while at our 

lake. Here are the items: 

Stage fare, both ways $1.50 

Shave .25 

Hair cut .50 

Lunch 2.00 

Sodas? .75 

$5.00 

1920 2


July 22, 1920 

(continued) 

Alden's new motor boat has a hit and miss engine --- mostly miss. 

The candy shortage has been relieved -- Herbert Moore has some new 

stock. 

Unless Herbert Moore gets some gas soon we will have a "gasless" week.

(Too late for last week) 

Messrs. Charles and Herbert Rotterman of Cincinnati are at the lake. 

William Lodge of Albany is an expert at hurdling rocks with a motor 

boat. 

Mr. Hurd has built a new dock. Why the decorative ports on the 

corners? 

Blueberries are getting scarce in this section. Too many pickers. 

Mr. Parker, proprietor of the Eagle Lake Inn, as purchased Alden's old 

motor boat. Yes, it will go once in a while. It is an oil burner. 

Read the bulletin board at Herbert Moore's store. All the knocks that are 

not printed. 

Peter Flint got a pickerel in Moore's Bay on Tuesday, He gave it to Ed. 

Greenman to use for bait. 

Mr. Thompson made Mr. Luthy's outboard motor go for about one 

minute. 

Mr. Godge visited friends at Lake George Monday. 

Everybody on the lake was in Ti ............. last Friday. 

.....................a.healthy climate, yet we have had five doctors here at one 

time this summer. 

Owing to the number of doctors and the scarcity of cooks, one M.D. is 

studying to change his profession. 

Captain "Cork" Lodge has plans for a hydroplane. He hopes to beat the 

Whip-poor-Wil. 

Mrs. Herbert Moore went blueberrying. While going through some 

thick brush, the lake moved round to the other side of the mountain. After 

wondering for some hours she was rescued by Mobo. She got no berries. 

Tom Stowell is rowing again. Has his motor gone bluie too?

August 19,1920 

Ronald Lodge, Miss Gladys Lodge, Miss Fritzi Cameron and John Dunn 

motored from Albany to the lake Saturday. 

We ask Mr. Wickes if it is legal to lock up a strange car found on your 

property in the same way you would any other livestock. 

Mr. George Lancing and grandson left for her home in Albany on 

Monday. 

Some folks are easy. Ed Greenman had picked three quarts of wild 

raspberries when confronted by the "owner" of the land. The lady put up 

such a forceable argument that Ed gave up the berries. 

Mrs. Osmond gave a delightful childrens' party at Yo-Ho camp in honor 

of her daughter lola's ninth birthday. 

It is reported that little Georgie at Goodacres' camp caught a nine pound 

pickerel, using bread crumbs for bait. 

George Fisher of Brooklyn is camping on the north shore with a friend. 

Mr. "Spike" Foster thinks it strange that cream will turn sour after 

standing in the sun on a dock for four hours. 

Every available camp site on the lake was occupied last Sunday. 

George Grenning can object to Harris ' bell but Harris says he has lived 

many years without George but he can't live without the bell. 

Wallace Wimple, a guest at the Eagle Lake Inn, had a narrow escape 

from drowning Saturday. He slipped from Turtle Rock into deep water and 

his struggles carried him away from the rock. It was some little time 

before his danger was realized by the other bathers. Then he was sunk by 

the rush of would be rescuers. Some of the lady spectators suffered more 

from nervous shock than the victim did from water. 

Who put horseradish in the ice cream? 

Alfred Lancing has been giving diving exhibitions on Harris' new diving 

raft all week 

Invitations are out for a mask dance at the Eagle Lake Inn Thursday. 

Herbert Ratterman's strength has increased so that he broke the 

flywheel of Luthy's motor by cranking it. 

"Heavyweight Bunny" Lodge broke the springboard on Turtle Rock. It 

has been rebuilt with 6x6 oak. 

Mr. Lodge is building a new fireplace in the dining room of his camp. 

The contractor had just cut a hole in the roof when it started to rain. Some 

flood. 

Miss Adrian Claude walked off the dock at Ednet Lodge late Tuesday 

night. The water is deep at that point and only the presence of mind of 

Misses Bertha and Bernice Sartwell that averted a fatality.

Jean's Notes 

L. Lodge was Leighton Lodge 

Every summer Mr. and Mrs. Stevens boarded at 'Mother' Moore's (now 

Geisel's) to enjoy fishing. 

John Alden was nicknamed Bounder Highmasher. 

MONel's Notes 

Always loved the Name of Stoneylonesome where Bernice and Bertha lived. 

Remember well about John Alden and the scars. also remember going on a 

"tramp" with him, Gladys and others. He broke into someone's summer 

cottage and we all went in (it wasn't on Eagle Lake). Gladys and I feeling 

very very guilty. 

None of the names on page one bring to mind anything other than 

remembering Old Mother Moore - I didn't like her. 

July 22 

Jean's Notes 

Prof. Fritz Garis owned house now belonging to Jane Stevens. 

Mrs. Mary Moore was Herb Moore's wife. 

Ira was Herb Moore's son. 

Mame1's Notes 

Can't remember much about page 2 and only vaguely remember Herb's 

store - broken steps and lots of kids. Ira asked me if I'd be his girl friend; I 

tried very gently to say "No". 

1920 Notes


August 12 

Jean's Notes 

Messrs. Charles and Herbert Rotterman were Luthy's friends. 

Captain "Cork" Lodge was Alvin Lodge. 

Tom Stowell was from a Chilson family. 

August 19 

Jean's Notes 

Yo-Ho camp is the house now belonging to Buechner family. It was owned 

by Alanson Moore and rented out. 

Misses Bertha and Bernice Sartwell were cooks for the Harris family, first 

Bernice was the cook and then, following her marriage, Bertha became 

cook. 

Ma.r.lel's Notes 

No mention of Carl's birthday? 

Can't remember Mrs. Orman living at YO-HO - only the Fishers: George, 

Eleanor, Hilda, and Maude and vaguely their parents. 

Can't remember Goodacres' Camp, or diving raft at our place but do 

remember Bernice and Bertha and Ida. 

September 2 

Ma.r.le1's Notes 

Remember the "old Bell" and how boats left docks to come and have waffies 

and syrup. Remember Vin's fly wheel ripping off a girl's skirt. Walter 

Stedman was a friend ofVin's, I remember the excitement of the Pileated 

Woodpecker - he didn't stay around for very long. Remember Fritzi 

Cameron - a roly poly friend of Gladys. 

1920 Notes


July 14, 1921 

Capt. Alvin Lodge has again distinguished himself, this time as a 

detective. Some time on the night of July 5th, the motorboat "Gatling Gun" 

disappeared from the Eagle Lake Hotel boat landing. Since there was no 

wind that night, it was supposed to have been stolen. A private detective 

brought from New York to investigate the case, counciled secrecy and after 

a careful investigation deduced that the boat had been towed to the bridge, 

loaded on a wagon or truck and removed to another lake. A search of all 

lakes within a radius of twenty miles revealed no trace of the missing boat. 

The imported sleuth then induced Mr. Madson, the hotel proprietor, to 

procure a "blanket" search warrant and request the presence of a squad of 

state police. while a search of various buildings in this part of the township 

was instituted. In the meantime Capt. "Cork" Lodge and First Mate C. W. 

Harris were carrying on an independent investigation. This included the 

bottom as well as the shores of the lake. The "Gatling Gun" was finally 

located unharmed in a disused bathhouse about a hundred yards from the 

hotel. It is thought that whoever took the boat wished to collect the reward 

offered for its distruction by one of the cottagers because the terrifying and 

eratic explosions disturbed his philosophic calm. 

We all like to go to the Eagle Lake postoffice because Mr. Luthy is 

honorary assistant postmaster, of course 

Please have mercy on the Spring dock, Mr. Alden. 

It is hoped the young men from Ticonderoga will not repeat their 

patriotic demonstration of the Fourth. They disturbed several philosophic 

calm and caused a lot of sputtering. 

Mrs. Luthy's pet woodchuck is still eating flowers in spite of the efforts 

of Boob McNutt. 

Miss Bertha Sartwell wishes there was a bounty on porcupines. Her 

record is 13 112 to date. 

The Bolsheviks wish to apologise to Mr. Luthy. They intended to blow up 

"Billie's Bungle," but the bomb was misplaced in the dark. 

There is very little excitement on the lake this year. No pep a-tall.

July 28, 1921 

July 25 -- Last Thursday night while the Harris family were at 

Ticonderoga this cottage was burglarously entered. The motive for this act 

of lawlessness is in doubt, as nothing but a volume of current fiction was 

taken. The piano, however, showed rough usage. The large track of a 

woman's foot and finger prints are clues which may bring about the arrest 

of the offenders. 

The motorboat "Gatling Gun" again wake the echoes of the lake on 

Sunday. The following suggestions for abating this nuisance are made: 

Injunction -- by our legal light. 

Dynamite -- by the Bolchiviks. 

Sinking -- by the calm and quite lovers. 

The captain of the boat settled the matter by breaking a spark plug while 

fighting off pirates. 

The horseback craze has hit the lake and the surrounding country is 

being searched for saddle horses. One big gray horse has shown Miss Ruth 

Alden how hard the ground is. Miss Alden does not seem so spry the last 

day or two. The horse has been sent back to its owner. 

We regret our inability to furnish a list of the hotel guests this week. 

Our hotel reporter has dropped newspaper work or his horse has dropped 

him. We hope we will not read of Boob McNutt in the hospital news. 

We invite George Adkins to come up and look over the .flock of chickens 

at the lake. 

Herbert Moore is digging a new grave for his gas tank. He struck a rock 

in the first hole. 


Today we have a road to be proud of. For years this important link 

between two great highway systems has been a disgrace to the state, and its 

reputation has traveled from coast to coast. But now all this has changed. 

Alanson Moore has done wonders with the money available. He has cut 

down several grades, straightened some dangerous curves and widened the 

road so two cars can pass safely at any point. In fact, it is better than some 

state roads in this vicinity. Mr. Moore and his men deserve great credit for 

this work. 

A traffic officer will soon be needed at the bridge. 

Mr. and Mrs. Crumb, who were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Luthy, left for 

Albany Sunday. 

John Moore is champion porcupine killer this week. 

Mrs. C. Alden went to New York this week. 

1921 2


July 28, 1921 

(continued) 

Our mighty hunter, Boob McNutt, went after woodchucks Monday. 

After stalking one three times round a stone pile he crept to within ten feet 

of his prey and fired. The woodchuck is still enjoying good health. We 

suggest Boob carry a salt shaker. 

An expert from Podunk has put Mr. Stevens' motor completely on the 

hummer. 

We hope Mr. Flint's rheumatism will not effect his flute. 

Herbert Moore has a more complete stock than ever before. He is also 

digging a grave for his new gas tank. 

Ed. Greenman is trying to find out what makes a motor go when it don't. 

The hotel has so many guests that milk is delivered in a 500 gallon gas 

tank. 

Herbert Moore has a new kind of gasoline. It will start any motor.

It is the opinion of many that since the removal of the dam some seven 

years ago, fewer pike or pickerel are being caught each season. There is 

now little or no marsh where the fish can breed. 

Mr. and Mrs. McNutt and the little Boobs left the lake in desolation on 

Sunday. 

A huge buck recently paid a visit to the Alden Camp. Swimming the 

lake he came out on the point, offering a splendid view of his magnificent 

head with fourteen point horns. 

Herbert Sartwell is building a splendid dock for Mr. Luthy. 

It takes Herb Moore to tart Freeman's car. 

The dock at the spring is in dire need of repair. 

Uninvited guests on a private beach here last Sunday were deprived of 

their clothing by Miss Fritz, chiefof police, -- dogs. 

Ed. Greenman got his car going again and left for home. 

The Lodges have quite a house party. 

Herb Moore's gas tank was buried Saturday with appropriate ceremony. 

Mr. Luthy was to sing a hymn but forgot his book. 

A meeting of the Eagle Lake Property Owners' association is called for 

Aug. 5th. 

Any news not in this column may be heard by lifting your telephone 

receiver every time the bell rings. 

Mr. Harris is in need of a new roller for his tennis court. Motor boat 

owners should watch their flywheel. 

Some car owners, when they can't get into trouble on the Ticonderoga 

road, go on the Corduroy road and get ditched in the swamp.

Conklin's spring was called "aqua salute". We all got drinking water 

there. 

Alvin put off a bomb on a rock by the lake in front ofGeorge's house across 

from our point. 

Manrd's Notes 

Will always remember "Aqua Salute". I remember Alvin planting a bomb 

in our boat house. He was angry because I returned his Fraternity Pin.

1921 Notes


July 27, 1922 

We are glad to welcome the Rogers and Watsons as land owners and the 

Minsters Buechners, Goodacres, Greenmanns Mosses and Thompsons as 

guests. 

Recent visitors to Touchstone camp have been Miss Maude Ludington, 

tennis champion; Miss Fredericka Cameron, bridge fiend; Harry I. 

Winters, the silent Camera maniac; Miss Marjorie Williamson, Ronald 

Lodge, Miss Gertrude Bantham and Richard Getmann. 

Mr. and Mrs. Krumb of Albany have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Edward 

O. Luthy at Ednet Lodge and later guests are the Rattermanns. 

The hotel has blossomed out with a strong force of company -- among 

them the renowned "Peaches and Cream." 

Why the sudden "Sheik" of Bob's costume? We hope he will soon be 

looking "holesome" again. 

We have long been anticipating the arrival of a movie fan and we are 

greatly disappointed to find that he has been in our midst for no less than 

three weeks. 

Mr. and Mrs. Fischer nearly joined Litchfield as a canoe capsized near 

Schmidlapp's Rocks. Death would have been due more to hysterics than 

drowning. 

' 

Captain Cork's hydroplane has been remodeled and now surrounds 

itself with a smoke-screen when in action to prevent the irate land owners 

from firing upon it. 

A thirty foot tripod has been erected on the north shore for the purpose of 

killing off all the fresh divers. We fear it will horizontalize its 

perpendicularity. 

Warning! Telephone installed at Bedlam Point. 

The postoffice has been installed and now the mail is stalled in. 

Those who take stock in Eagle Lake have noticed a great rise and fall in 

water. 

Those wishing to buy stock in onions, lettuce or muddy water at Cherry 

Creek apply to the "Onion King" upon his return to Bedlam Point. 

We hope Mr. Fitzgerald will serve cherries from Athens as well as he 

has served tennis balls here. 

If patience is a virtue the fishermen of this lake will surely pass Saint 

Peter. 

We wish Maxim would make a silencer for Messrs. John and Dance 

Hall. 

Etherial blue for a summer sky, 

But for an old row boat, why, oh why?

The annual camping bug strikes a few comfort seekers, but all signs of 

comfort are removed by mosquitoes. 

The farewell to the Fishers was conspicuous through the lack of 

adornment by tin cans and perplant bouquets. This is unprecedented in the 

departure of any important personage. 

All who ate the Anderson's fish hope they will return again next year. 

It has just been disclosed that a historic landmark was destroyed last 

summer through the dastardly act of some well known Fourth of July 

celebrator. Probably the scratch made by this destructive blast will be 

pointed out by the owner of the land as one made by a Revolutionary bullet. 

Green Ledge, like all green things, has grown up, and has a water 

system. So be a sport and take your "Daily Dosen" at the pump. 

The lake is too dull for certain gay birds. 

Mrs. Luthy and Mr. Lodge spent part of the week in New York. 

Jeff had better take out burglary insurance, as good looking canoes are a 

scarcity on the lake. 

The movie fan has turned out to be a dance maniac also. 

Daddy Jack is in our midst, to say nothing of Mrs. Parker. 

It is very unwise to hold consultations with your bootlegger over the 

telephone. 

The morals of the young people of the lake will be corrupted if the points 

of the hotel pen remain crossed. 

The old timers of the lake are distressed over the serious illness of Mrs. 

Plunghe and hope for her quick recovery. 

Several people went to Mt. lola Monday after blueberries. They came 

back with a few berries and much water. 

There is warm competition between Ford owners of this vicinity for the 

worst looking and most troublesome Lissie. Harris' takes the prize for 

looks and the hotel's for motor condition. 

Jimmie prefers driving a baseball to pushing a Ford. 

The 16th annual meeting of the (Eagle) Chilson Lake Property Owners' 

Assn. will be called on Saturday, Aug. 5th, at "Ednet" Lodge, Eagle Lake, 

Essex county, N.Y., at 2 p.m. 

Ifyou call for a hot dog at the hotel, why do you get hash?

August 10, 1922 

Quite a sensation was created on the lake when an outfit resembling 

Barnum and Bailey's circus established itself in Alonson Moore's pine 

grove. After the Monday investigators, expecting to find cages overturned 

and wild animals at large, were surprised to find a group of cordial 

campers and instead of wild animals a fine catch of wily Eagle Lake 

pickerel, formerly renowned but now so elusive. 

Among the campers at Pine Grove is Miss Georgeine Avery of Troy, who 

has sung for the Victor Co. and was the first person to sing from coast to 

coast by radio. Others are Dr. A. T. Sitterly, mayor (?) of Burnt Hills, and 

his wife and son, Malcolm Ingram of Albany and N.V. Lascher of 

Fultonville. 

Hotel kitchen raided as birthday celebrators confiscate all tinware, 

including Bob's Ford. After a short tuning up at the hotel they tooted to 

Luthy's, where the ovation continued until outclassed by the Boom Bos. 

Mr. Wemple imported a neat chest of wholly worms from Schenectady. 

After being served breakfast at the hotel, the worms, accompanied Messrs. 

Wemple and Crapp to a "Pair a dice" where they caught twenty-two fish 

which, when skinned, supplied breakfast for' all. (Just a little crap game,) 

Irate fisherman to proprietor of hotel. "Your boats rows too heavy." 

Small boy, having witnessed arrival of fisherman. "You bet, Prop., with 

an anchor draging behind." 

Beau Brummel paid the lake a flying visit last week end and his elder 

brother is expected this week. 

Not since the days of the seven keys has the Eagle Lake hotel seen so 

much business. All approve of the new management. 

In a recent baseball game Miss Eleanor Fischer knocked a ball that 

would make Babe Ruth look sick. CYou bet it would. ) Roy: has nothing on 

Lloyd. (Not Harold). 

Inquiries respecting the situation of the lake's historic landmark may be 

addressed to Ednet Lodge. 

Rogers' new boat experienced the roughest trip of its young life when it 

rode up Chilson Hill. 

The annual meeting of the Eagle Lake Property Association was held 

Saturday at two o'clock at Ednet Lodge. This organization has for sixteen 

years been endeavoring to regulate the affairs of the lake. Such an 

organization needs the active support of all land owners and the 

cooperation of everybody. For information as to membership consult the 

secretary, Edmond O. Luthy. Only by full attendance of all members and 

universal interest from all good Eagle Lakers can personal grudges be 

obliviated. 

Essex County Fair at Westport Aug. 22, 23, 24, and 25.

August 17, 1922 

The people of the lake are beginning to wonder if the stage driver will 

charge double rates for carrying their groceries to Schroon and back. 

Lord Mudington, Beau Brummel and his big brother and sister arrived 

in time to take the rest of the party home with the exception of the bill payer. 

A fair canoeist in Sunday best, Saying farewell to a hotel guest, Moved 

her foot and her avoirdupois Fell into the lake with a squawking noise. 

Friends on the shore let out a shout, And merrily laughed as she pulled 

herself out. Then, tied behind her brother's boat, She was forced to take 

another float. Once again in the lake she dove, And swam ashore in 

Lodge's cove. 

A concert was given by Mr. Crapp, a bear-at-tone of Schenectady, 

accompanied by Mrs. Hurd, pianist and composer and, Mr. Flint with "the 

magic flute." 

A curfew is suggested for the lit-lit girls and boys of the lake who go 

blueberrying. 

Privacy in communication on this lake can be better obtained by the use 

of a megaphone than by a telephone. 

An Alpine atmosphere is given to the lake by the presence of a Swiss 

yodeller, a miniature Swiss village and a supply of Adkins & Scott's Swiss 

cheese. 

The lake is unusually thick with children, dogs, mosquitoes and other 

insects. 

Dark is the lake with so few Wickes in evidence. 

A guide for this locality is in demand by campers and guests.

.. 

Jean's Notes 

Touchstone camp was the name of the Lodge's home. 

. 

I' 

Touchstone camp visitors were friends of Gladys. 

Names of Luthy guests mentioned in paragraph 3 are the real names. 

Schmidlapp's Rocks is the name of George Conklin's point. 

Captain Cork was the name for Alvin Lodge. 

Bedlam Point was name for Harris's property. 

The Onion King was Pat Harris. He was involved in a disastrous venture 

in farming near Cherry Creek in western New York state. 

Maxim's surname may have been Silencer. 

Mamers Notes 

Remember Gladys had many friends but the names except for Maude L. 

and F. Cameron. There was a photographer who did take a movie over at 

the mine somewhere back of the North Shore, supposed to be a mystery 

story or something like that. 

, . 

August 3 

Jean's Notes 

Fishers were staying at Buechner's cottage "Yo-Ho" which (at that time) 

belonged to Alanson Moore. 

Green Ledge was home of the Rodgers; it now belongs to the Thompsons. 

Mrs. Plunghe may have been the name for Mrs. Runghe. 

Mt. lola is another name for Fernette Mt., the hill across the road back of 

Graham and Jimmy Davis's houses. 

Ednet Lodge was the Luthy's house between Spaulding's and Conklin's 

boathouse . 

. Mamers Notes 

Daddy Jack and Mrs. Parker I think ran the Hotel. Mama was annoyed by 

Mrs. P. because she was always straightening other men's ties and 

hugging them if I remember correctly.

The"fair canoeist" of Paragraph 3 was Gladys Lodge. 

Adkins & Scott's was a grocery store in Ticonderoga. 

Wickes came from Ticonderoga to a cottage at the west end ofthe lake. 

i' 

,I: 

Mamers Notes 

Hurds? I think I remember them. Mr. Hurd had some terrible bone 

disease. His head was dreadfully misshapen but he was very nice. He 

referred to me as Junoesque. I wasn't quite sure how to take that. 

Knowing that Juno was Jupitor's wife and a bit of a bitch. Remember that 

one of the men at Adkin's who was very nice but he had a very pink skin 

and thin light hair and the pink showed through - I always called him the 

"Pink Man." 

The Wickes were from Ti - I think their father was a lawyer.

year. Of the original thirteen editors, one is enroute to Egypt and another is 

in Russia. Both will contribute to this column regularly. Our readers may 

also expect the usual bright and accurate news items as before. 

Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Haist have returned in haste to Buffalo after a week 

at Bedlem Point. 

From the noise we hear there is a singer at Yo-Ho. 

Dr. and Mrs. Garis have company this week. 

Our foreign correspondent, Miss Gladys Lodge, who is a member of the 

expedition organized by Lord Muddington to explore the Valley of the Kings, 

reports from Rome that the weather in Equatorial Africa is hot. 

The lake is so low Capt. Cork had to bend the shaft of Tubbo to keep the 

propeller under water. 

Are cave dwellers' calling cards appreciated? Ask the Wickses. 

Mr. and Mrs. R. Bunny Lodge and friends spent a noisy Fourth at 

Outside Inn. A Roman candle duel produced no casualties. 

Mr. Mender's new express cruiser, the Issi Running, piloted by Miss 

Wicks, stuck with terrific force on the submerged bar off Bedlem Point. The 

fantic cries of the owner attracted the ever vigilant Capt. Cork of the Outside 

Inn life saving station, who rushed to the spot with equipment for salvaging 

any parts of the vessel which might be valuable. He was disappointed to 

find no salvage was necessary as only the propeller was sheered from the 

shaft. Na tug being available the cruiser was laborously rowed to the repair 

station. 

C.C. Alden has arrived.

Statistics show that this has been a record breaking year in the history of 

Eagle Lake. Two new cottages have appeared on the shores, one being 

rented by Alanson Moore 

All the others cottages are occupied except that of Mr. Watson. 

Mr. Glenn: who last year, ran the hotel, is camping on Herbert Moore's 

property in International Ice Cream tents. 

Some people from Schenectady are clearing Birch Point and are greatly 

improving the surrounding neighborhood in preparation for the erection of 

a garage. The owners expect to live in tents, pending the construction of a 

more formidable structure. 

In spite of the number of campers at the lake this year, pleasing 

precautions have been maintained to preserve the public peace. Although 

the wild animals are numerous, they are not nearly as obtrusive as an 

extremely limited number of the so called "pets." 

The Eagle Lake Inn is being run this year by Miss T. Newhouse of 

Whitehall. 

Herbert Moore has recently replenished his stock of souvenirs and 

groceries. 

Mr. Fillup Space will hereafter write exclusively for the Eagle Lake 

news. 

On Saturday night the occupants of What-is-it camp were scared badly 

by a large animal. Their screams brought R. Glenn around with a butcher 

knife and a flash light. After finding the animal with the light, 

reinforcements in the shape of Lanson Moore and a rifle were brought up. 

Mr Moore commendable consideration, refused to shoot, but drove the 

intruder away. He hopes to trap the coon when the fur is prime. 

A D. Ford ofBuffalo is parked at Papawin. 

A great dane has bought Birch Point. 

The lake is going to the dogs and insects. 

Coons have been entering the Outside Inn chicken coop and have so far 

relieved the owners of two hens. Traps have been set for the intruders but 

all the catches have escaped before the proper authorities could be called. 

Miss Fisher is two laps ahead in the coffee race. Thecornet seems to 

losing ground. 

Capt. Cork had a birthday Saturday. He received gifts from his many 

admiring friends. 

Joseph Feary's son of Albany has been visiting the Jolly Rodgers. 

Mr. and Mrs. R. Benny Lodge are visiting relatives at Outside Inn. They 

were driven to the pond by Mr. and Mrs. Cameron of Albany, who are also 

staying at the Inn. 

It's a shame, the amount of powder some city folks waste on 

woodchucks and the chucks continue to live and grow fat.

NOTICE TO TELEPHONE USERS 

Please throttle clocks, dogs, birds, chickens and ice cream freezers 

when listening in. It drowns the conversation. 

Don't swear when central goes to sleep. Have mercy on the audience. 

Our foreign correspondent has decided to prolong her European tour to 

include England. This will prevent her from appearing personally at the 

lake to give the proposed lecture course on Europe and the Europeans. 

Yes, we have no postoffice.

August 9,1923 

The annual meeting of the C. L. P. O. A. was held on the porch of E. O. 

Luthy's house. The question of lettered camping grounds was broached but 

no definite decision was reached, although a vigilant committee was 

formed with a strong arm squad to protect property owners on the lake from 

all obtrusive campers. 

One of the little, (not so very little) Wicks is a bright and shining light on 

the tennis court. 

"Dead Shot Bill" is in our midst. Many woodchucks have passed on 

recently. 

Considering the lawlessness and utter disregard for privacy by obtrusive 

people, "obtrusive pets" have their value. 

Marine traffic regulations will be necessary on one of the densely 

populated bays of this lake. 

Mr. Waitland, alias "Beans," of Boston slid into the water. After 

changing into his best bib and tucker, he went in again. The remainder of 

the day he wore a bathing suit. 

A dead turtle has been floating majestically up and down the center of 

the pond. Thank you, Mr. Alden. 

Mr. Flock is establishing a fine camping ground, well removed from the 

road. He offers to furnish hot water and hot times. 

Fords wired for eats. Thirteen relatives responded in person. Is 

thirteen unlucky? What? 

A splendid turkey dinner was enjoyed by home of Mrs. Luthy's many 

friends in honor of her (?) birthday. 

How are the mighty fallen? Splash! Mr. Robert Glenn versus Mr. Jack 

Rattiman. 


Mr. Fillup Space's contribution of last week was greatly appreciated and 

received first place. 

R. Bunny Lodge and family left Sunday. 

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ludington and daughter Eleanor of Albany spent 

the week end at Outside Inn. 

We are all delighted to learn that Mrs. Alanson Moore is enjoying better 

health. 

Congratulations are in order... a permanent boarder has arrived at the 

hotel. 

Miss Hilda Fisher and Bill Smith left Sunday night for New York in the 

"drunk special." 

Mr. and Mrs. Boob McNutt and the little Boobs are staying at Outside 

Inn. 

The enthusiasm shown by those who stocked gooseneck with trout was 

only surpassed by those who did the heavy looking on.

There has been a great increase in the herd of Buffalos at the lake this 

year. Mr. Hurd is partly to blame. 

Little George looks down on us once more. 

Louise arrived in two parts, herself and better half. 

Her brother and Helen Mac Womics also arrived. 

Boob McNutt and all attachments have left the Outside Inn for Albany. 

Lanson's Ford knows the road so well that it goes out to look for him 

when he isn't home by midnight. 

Lots of chickens here, Mr. Adkins. 

There seems to be a keen attraction for Missey Fisher. 

The pocket of Alanson's prospective coat has escaped. 

The prize uncle arrived in Billie's birthday present. 

We wonder if the occupants of the tempermental red canoe, who 

experimented so extensively in the sucking wind of the narrows, finds it as 

beneficial as the beauty clay so widely advertised. 

Mrs. Newhorse's method -- have your boarders chop the wood. 

Max should have a medal: He pulled two pilgrims out of the mud. 

The Ruthless arrival of Tompy was remarked with surprise. But "they" 

arrived next day. 

Yes, we have no more woodchucks. 

Miss Doris Spitzmiller, another Buffalo, is visiting at Bedlam Point. 

There were a number of up-sets on the lake this week. Both boats and 

stomachs. 

Dick the Dude is visiting relatives at "Hedgehog Hangout." 

The family of Mrs. Edward Runge of Eagle Lake wishes to thank all the 

neighbors on the lake and also our friends in Chilson and Paradox for their 

kind assistance and help in our recent trouble and bereavement. Ifit had 

not been for the wonderful help of all our neighbors, we would have been 

unable to save the house from destruction by fire.

One young man is living here with a chipmunk for a housekeeper. 

An error corrected -- Thompy is still "Ruthless." 

Why the grave like silence at Bedlam Point? A hike to Rock Pond put 

them to bed early. 

It was rumored that a noisy and boistrous party stole the Eagle Lake

Spiritualistic seances are all right, but if two and two make four and 

four and four make eight, why use a Ouija board? Signed Bill and Rip. 

The sub-debs of Eagle Lake have been recently entertained on 

consecutive evenings by the masculine portion of the "Four Hundred." 

When two perform their annual ablutions they should be granted 

privacy, not publicity. 

If by any chance a scanner of this column should be interested in the 

results of the tournament, the score was 6-1, 6-1, 6-4. Does this look like a 

"life or death" struggle? Isn't green a lucky color? 

It is hoped that in the future the champion will receive his cup. 

The first thing this week we apologize to all who have suffered from 

having names misspelled. Don't cuss the typesetter hereafter. The editor 

of this column takes all the blame, pleading quilty to poor penmanship. 

The annual invitation tennis tournament played this week at Bedlam 

Point court brought to light a future Tilden. Mr. "Rip" Bullen, an 

experienced tournament player of Schenectady, says that undoubtedly 

"Rupe" Wickes will be a contender for national honors if properly trained 

and managed. Mr. Bullen won the hard earned Ivory (soap) cup after a 

hard fight. 

To aid elaborate toilets in preparation for a dance Saturday evening, it 

was observed certain lovers of terpsichore braved the icy waters armed with 

soa p and brush. 

A spiritualistic seance held Saturday night at Bedlam Point, via the 

Ouija board, had startling results. Better watch your step or the Ouija will 

tell on you. How about it Bill and Rup? 

The "long gent" visitor at the lake indignantly claims to have been bitten 

three times by the "obtrusive pet." However, the owner of said pet is not 

worried as the dog shows no signs of poisoning. 

Outboard motors are rapidly becoming as pesteriferous on the water as 

the Fords on the land. It is a pity that the peace and quiet of nature's 

soothing silence, heretofore one of the greatest charms of our lake, should 

thus be disturbed. 

There is a young man very "Balke" 

Who never with ladies will talkee, 

No matter how swell, 

He'll run just like h--ll, 

Whenever they near him do walkee. 

An error corrected by request -- Mrs. Jennie Newhouse says "her name 

is "not" Newhorse, the people chopping wood were "not" boarders but 

campers, and its no newspaper's business what she does anyhow. 

1923 7


August 30, 1923 (continued) 

Humiliating indeed, to excited fisherman, supposedly having caught a 

new species, to have native laconically name it a sucker. 

The unknown fish caught by Dr. Garis has been identified as a daco, a 

mullet, a whitefish, a walleyed pike and an Igknotum Damifino. 

(Too early for next week.) 

The lake and parents are to be highly honored by a short visit of Miss 

Ruth Alden and Master Coolidge. 

Tante Anna, the long gent, and little sister leave Sunday night on their 

favorite train, The Drunk Special. 

Miss Doris Spitzmiller returns to Buffalo and civilization after a visit at 

Bedlam Point.

Mr. and Mr. F. A. Haist were Uncle Foster and Aunt Flo. 

Tubbo was name of Alvin's boat. 

Outside Inn was the Lodge's house. 

Mamel's Notes 

No comment, only a few memories of names. Don't remember Gladys 

going to Egypt.

Jean's Notes 

, Birch Point is across the bay from Harris house, east of Graham Davis. 

The Eagle Lake Inn was where the Spaulding apartments now are. The 

hotel burned in the 1920s. 

Herbert Moore's store for souvenirs and groceries was on the north side of 

the road, about where the other Bob Stevens lives. 

Mr. Dane bought Birch Point.

Jean's Notes 

Little George may have been George Fisher. 

Miss Doris Spitzmiller was a friend of Margel and Jean 

Margel and Jean went by canoe to the Runge's. They got there in time to 

help with a bucket brigade. Old Mrs. Runge died during the fire, probably 

of heart failure. 

Mamd's Notes 

Again so much is a blur, I remember Doris visiting us but not in 

connection with the Runge I s fire. 

As I remember it - no doubt you (Le. Jean) will have a different story. You 

heard the phone ringing every ring on the line. When you answered you 

heard "help, we're on fire" and from the accent you knew it to be the 

Runge's. I think you stayed for a time to ring other people. I don't know 

how you got up to Runge's. I think Carl and I jumped into the canoe, and 

Dad go out the Ford and picked us up on the road or maybe you and I got in 

the canoe and Carl and Dad went by car. Anyway, Carl and Dad 

dismantled an iron bed to use as axes and chopped through the roof and got 

the fire out of the roof. Meanwhile a bucket brigade formed from the dock 

up to the house. Mr. Luthy was so shocked by the news of poor old Mrs. 

Runge's death that he kept dipping a bottomless bucket into the Lake 

watching the water drip out and putting it back for more water over and 

over again. Meanwhile, enthusiastic helpers were throwing furniture out 

of the windows, although the fire was out by then. I'm still terrified by the 

thought of fires to this day as we have thousands of dollars worth of Frank's 

work in the Studios and one car. All timber buildings.

Jean's Notes 

Miss Cowen's house is now Bob and Jane Stevens' house. 

Dr. Garis' house is Jane Stevens' house. 

Mrs. Burrell was the "well known song Bird of Buffalo." 

Fred Hunsdon was from Chilson. 

Rupe was Rupert Wickes. 

Marget's Notes 

Didn't realize that Doris stayed so long. It was great fun having her. 

Could 'Gobriel' be one of the Rogers? 

I remember the fun we used to have with the Ouija board. Alvin always 

stayed so late at night that Mama became very annoyed. He confessed later 

he was afraid to go home by himself.

Jean's Notes 

Were Tante Anna, the long gent and little sister the Fishers? 

Mamers Notes 

Can't imagine who Tante Anna, the long gent and little sister are, unless 

as you suggest the Fischers. 

1923 Notes


July 11, 1929 

July 7 -- Nearly every cottage here has its power boat or attached motor 

appliance, and, as fishing has about ceased with Mrs. George Hurd's 9 112 

pound northern pike catch, summer residents are making this like Lake 

Placid, where a resident declared with considerable emphasis: "You just 

want to come here, this summer, why, we've got fifty auto boats on the 

lake." 

The road men are keeping the boulevard in fine condition for auto 

traffic. It's hard surface does not ruin a new car with tar, as is the case on 

many of the asphalt highways after their spring top dressing. 

The good name of our locality has been injured by the burglaries 

committed during the early fall. It is said that nearly every cottage was 

opened and many valuable articles stolen. There felonies have been so 

frequent and bold that steps are being taken to bring the thieves to justice as 

soon as possible. One cottage along the highway was entered by parties 

during the winter by smashing a pane in a window and "lifting" a black 

bear skin rug, a new axe, blankets and bedding. The burglars carried off 

their plunder in an automobile going east. 

Residents will recall how parties from Warner Hill, who broke into the 

Fitzgerald and Lodge camps some years ago, got county jail sentences for 

their felonies. Things have indeed come to such a pass here that there is 

strong talk of employing detectives to locate these parties and get back their 

household goods taken during last fall and winter. The camp of Mr. 

Conkling was broken open early in the fall, the doors being smashed in by 

the intruders. 

Suggestions that a community storage house be built on the premises of 

an all-the-year resident have already been made by our summer cottagers, 

who are tired of having their properly "pawed over" every winter, as has 

been the case lately; not only here but in other summer resorts. 

Wilson Harris has sailed for Europe for a short stay. 

George Fischer, an old time summer visitor, is at Camp Yo Ho on the 

Moore farm, Moore's Bay, where he and family spent last season, near the 

Indian Ovens and the well known cave. Mr. Fischer is an accomplished 

pianist and, with his two brothers, often played in concerts in New York 

and Brooklyn. He craves to beat Ira Moore's three pound brook trout, 

caught in Putts Creek last year. 

Speaking of trout, some wonderful specimens have been taken lately. 

The anglers are mum as to location, but there is a guess going that these 

fish are the result of some recent planting by the Ticonderoga Fish and 

Game Club in this neighborhood. 

1929 1


July 11, 1929 

(continued) 

Work will soon begin on the new stairway of concrete and the barricade 

to be erected in front of Arden Lodge. Mr. Clark of Ticonderoga has the 

contract for the job, it wasleamed. 

Alanson Moore's addition to his combined home and store is much 

admired and is a general gathering place for the young folks these warm 

evenings. 

Two parties of trout fishing enthusiasts, men and women from 

Schenectady, stayed at Mrs. Moore's cottage Saturday night. They 

complained of high water and small fish where they last tried their luck. 

William Conklin of Los Angeles, Cal., is making extensive repairs to his 

large boat house, opposite his camp on Charles Island, and laying boulder 

walls along the former structure. 

Alanson Moore insists that he and Peter Flint managed to land a six 

pound pickerel in Putts Pond lately, hooked by the latter on a black linen 

thread line and a minnow hook. There's no doubt about this, either.

All the boat fishermen here have to bow to the little daughter of Mr. and 

Mrs. Walter Runge of New York. This juvenile angler coaxed her folks into 

giving her a baited hook and line which she attached to a bamboo pole and I. 

set it at the end of a small pier at the east side of her home on Fox Island. 

, ! I 

Upon her return she found a great fish placidly tethered to the far end of the 

line. Her scream of delight attracted older attention and Glee was soon the 

proud captor of a four pound large-mouth black bass: A case of regular kid 

luck. 

Inquiries made of the Conservation Commission by a resident here how 

best to conserve our fish supply has resulted in a personal reply from Chief 

I 

Llewellyn Legge, of the Department of Fish and Game, in which he states 

that Eaglu Lake and similar waters in this vicinity are best suited for yellow 

perch, black bass and sun fish. He doesn't favor planting trout of any kind 

in these waters. Brought to his attention that thousands of perch are taken 

in winter by ice auger borings through the ice, enabling fishermen from all 

over the county to take as many of these valuable fish as they like at a time 

when the females are full of eggs for the spring spawning period, this 

official suggested that upon application to the commission by those 

interested a hearing could then be had upon evidence submitted and a 

ruling be issued that fishing through the ice be prohibited in order to 

restore the former good summer fishing conditions. The matter is now 

before the local Property Owners' Association for immediate action. 

Commander Louis Wilson, Bishop U. S. N., retired, who is spending his 

second annual vacation at Deerland, Long Lake, motored here with friends 

Wednesday to visit his cousin, Mrs. Peter Flint, at at Arden Lodge, and also 

Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Luthy. Commander Bishop has recovered from a 

fever contracted at Mamilla, P.I. in the Spanish War, during an entire 

summer spent at Eagle Lake. He was accompanied Wednesday by Mr. and 

Mrs. Louis F. Hollenback and Miss Isabel Cheever of Brooklyn, all of whom 

have been former summer residents here, and by Mrs. Warner of New 

Orleans, La. Dr. Bishop was commanding surgeon on the famous 

Battleship Texas and in active service abroad during the World War. He 

was aboard the battleship which brought the lamented President Harding 

to San Francisco just before the latter's death. 

Residents here are much pleased with the very careful attention paid by 

the Schroon stage to our errands entrusted to its care, as well as for the 

prompt delivery of our mail bags and parcel post packages.

Music lovers here will be attracted by a remarkable concert to be given 

Thursday night, Aug. 24th, at Crown Point high school auditorium by two 

talented young artists 20 years of age, Robert Tonney, violinist, of Crown 

Point, and his friend, Stanley Hummel of Albany. Having heard these two 

performers at their memorial first concert, given in the old brick church at 

Hammonds Comers, Crown Point in August, 1927, attended by scores of 

people from Port Henry and elsewhere, I can assure those wishing to hear 

both violin and piano played in a masterly fashion that they will be repaid 

fully for even a long journey to listen to the wonderful program of classical 

and popular high grade music offered by these two musicians. Tickets can 

be secured by writing Mr. Tormey at Crown Point, where he is spending his 

vacation. He was for several years a pupil of Miss Corrine Flint, the 

violinst at Port Henry, and lately has continued his studies with Prof. 

Hummel, father of the pianist assisting at Crown Point Aug. 24th. 

Eagle Lake is honored by the presence of a student who is now writing a 

sonatine for flute and piano. This young gentleman, Mr. Slaver of Albany, 

is a visitor at the residence of Wilson Harris, Mooer's Bay, and is to enter 

Harvard University in the fall. The manuscript of his sonatine was read 

over with him on the flute by Peter Flint at the Harris residence Saturday 

night, who also played a number of other compositions with this talented 

young composer. The work follows the modern French school in its several 

movements and is very pleasing. 

A number of members of the American Legion and their families living 

in the Hill country will attend the tenth anniversary "doings" in honor of 

that event at Port Henry, August 14th, followed by a dance in the high 

school auditorium in the evening. A celebrated dance orchestra will 

provide music, coming from New York in autos over the Whitehall road, 

starting from New York early in the morning and expecting to make the 

run in record time. 

The Champlain bridge has progressed so rapidly that many of our 

summer residents were not aware that its dedication comes off the 26th of 

this month, as set forth so fully in The Sentinel of last week. 

The blueberry crop, owing probably to late frosts, is very small this 

season. Conditions on Buck and Miller Mountains, nearer Lake 

Champlain, are very good. Even Charlie Hall, the expert local picker, can 

find but few, he says. 

William Conklin is making attractive highway walls rebuilding his 

rustic boat house opposite Camp Williola on Charles Island. He has the 

distinction of

having three college sons with him, two in Dartmouth and one just out of

August 15, 1929 

The ancient highway leading from the "Corduroy road" to Paradox head 

and passing through the old deserted Burgley at Flemming Pond, has been 

put into good shape by the town of Crown Point. The Schroon end of it, 

beginning at Lee Knowlton's farm, is still in its former bad condition, 

rough and stony in places, yet passable by autoists using care. When 

Schroon wakes up to its obvious duty, the two towns will have a most 

interesting highway on the north side of Eagle Lake, passing both the 

Hunter and Cowan estates. The first car to make tracks on the new portion 

was driven by William Lodge one afternoon last week. He had with him, 

besides his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Flint of Arden Lodge, Eagle Lake. The 

20 mile trip included the Corduroy road to Ironville (Penfield) then over the 

so-called "Hogback" highway and North road by the old Sage place and a 

headquarters for deer hunters, to the Flemming Pond road and so back to 

"Touchstone," Mr. Lodge's residence. 

A terrific thunderstorm, with rain falling all night, visited our section 

Saturday night and Sunday morning. Lightning flashes were incessant. 

Mr. and Mrs. Haviland and Mrs. Haviland's sister, Miss Hawk, an 

artist residing in Philadelphia, visited Arden Lodge Saturday evening, 

spending the time enjoying the mountain and lake scenery from the 

porches and looking at some oil paintings formerly done by Mrs. Flint, who 

was once a pupil in the Philadelphia Art School, as was the visiting artist 

from that city. 

There's an old pond south of here containing pike of great size. A local 

sportsman, using a rotten old raft cruised over it last week, casting a small 

spoon from time to time from his unusual craft. A great fish seized the 

lure and after a good test of skill the angler had it on its side along side. As 

he reached for it, holding his steel rod, the usual thing happened and that 8 

pounder is still anyone's game. Out with his shotgun, a big "blue darter" 

hawk dashed by making for a thicket. Quick as a flash the "sixes" followed 

it into the leafy refuge. The goshawk had in its talons a live partridge as it 

lay there on the ground, a tribute to the hunter's marksmanship. 

Preparations are under way for a reunion of members of the 

Ticonderoga Chapter Sons of the American Revolution's 20th anniversary 

at a camp on Eagle Lake, August 20th. Members, with their families and 

guests, will arrive from the village about three o'clock and enjoy a corn 

roast by open fire, together with the usual accompaniments and on such 

occasions during the evening.

August 22, 1929 

Men employed by Alec Stowell are sanding bad places in the state road. 

The mornings are very cold, but by noon summer temperature prevails. 

The grass and bracken on the hill sides are already turning red and 

brown. The song birds are rarely heard; the locust sings at noon and 

crickets at night. 

An aquaplane is expected to arrive at Charles Island with guests for Mr. 

and Mrs. William Conkling. 

The many angling and hunting companions of Truman K. Derby, better 

known to them as "True," are shocked at his untimely and tragic death in 

an automobile accident at Ticonderoga lately. He was the first man to visit 

the camp of his Vineyard farm friend, Peter Flint, after the latter's 

marriage and honeymoon vacation at this lake. From Herb Moore's grove 

at Moore's Bay they would often drive his little Mustang, "Trixie," on 

trouting expeditions to Blue Ridge and Boreas country, returning after the 

day's sport, taking turns driving the little mare back, one sleeping on the 

• other's shoulder, overcome with fatigue. The "Forest and Stream" in 1915 

haq a front page account of one ofthose trips under the title "The Mystery of 

Trout Fishing," in which was described the loss of an enormous brook trout 

by "True" in the Sand Pond Brook, caused by breakage of a rod. His father, 

Reuben Derby, was at one time a resident of North Ticonderoga, near the 

old McNeal farm and "True" early sought the speckled beauties in two 

nearby cold brooks.

August 29, 1929 

The Ticonderoga chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, held a social 

meeting at Arden Lodge, Tuesday afternoon and evening, Aug. 20th. The 

guests, members of the society and their families, numbered about 50 

persons, arrived about 5 p.m., and their cars were parked from the lodge 

entrance nearly to the causeway. The visitors were received by Mr. and 

Mrs. Peter Flint of Schenectady and preparations for a good time were soon 

under way. A great fire was lighted in the wide stone fire place in the 

living room. while the various committees appointed for the tasks of 

husking corn, cooking frankforters and making coffee were busily engaged. 

The "foresters" hewed down mighty saplings of oak and ash, whittling out 

roasting sticks for the roasting ears of corn. The evening was cool and all 

preparations for the coming feast were carried on within doors. Many took 

in the intimate five-mile mountain ranges to the west, across the placid 

island studded lake. The invitations issued to camp by Secretary Kirby 

Wilcox contained the following the following comprehensive and appetising 

stanza: 

"Bring your appetites, 

Bring a joke, 

Tell a yarn 

And bring your smoke. 

Corn on the cob, 

And "dogs" without hair 

Will be roasted in the fire place, 

So be sure to be there." 

The living room was ample to take care of the large party and do the 

meat cooking, while the fire place was crowded with corn roasting fans. 

The entertainment, in charge of President Henry Haveland, opened with 

singing of, "America," led by True Helms playing the clarinet. This was 

followed by an old fashioned quadrille, prompted by E.C. D. Wiley, a veteran 

Eagle Lake camper, who also contributed some amusing yarns. A duet for 

saxaphone and flute, "Just a Song at Twilight," was greatly enjoyed by 

assembly joining melodiously in the chorus, led by these two strangely 

different instruments. By request Mr. Flint then played "Tourments 

Adorablee," a gypsie waifs song by the late famous tenor, Enrico Caruso, 

and as an encore rendered the original New Orleans "Jba." The speaker of 

the evening was Isaac A. Serven, an ex-president of Captain Godwin 

Chapter, S.A.R., of Paterson, N.J., a summer visitor at Lake George, who 

spoke at length of the effort of his chapter to acquire an historical residence 

at the so called Sterling Mines of New Jersey, where the iron was dug to 

make the chain across the Hudson River at West Point during the 

1929 8



Revolution. The speaker, who is a member of the New Jersey Bar, 

expressed his delight at the informality and pleasure of the present 

gathering and complimented the management upon the great success of 

the affair. Peter Flint spoke of the work of The Sons of Oriskany of which 

corporation he is secretary, in inducing the state to purchase the Mansionhouse 

at Little Falls, Herkmer county, from which the famous general by 

that name marched with 500 Mohawk Militia to the aid of Ft. Stanwix near 

Rome, N.Y. On the way his entire fore wa ambuscaded, Aug. 6, 1777, by 

about 1400 British regulars, Toncs, Hessians and Indian allies. The result 

of that conflict, the most bloody in the Revolution, made victory at Saratoga 

possible and caused the first American flag to be waved in token of victory 

over the British. He spoke of the names of some 250 soldiers in that 

engagement, including his wn ancestors, that had lately been added to 

those already on the Oriskany Monument. He said that he had been 

somewhat instrumental in the formation of the Ticonderoga Chapter. 

W.W. Jeffers expressed the thanks of the chapter to Mr. and Mrs. Flint for 

their entertainment. The meeting closed with the customary Virginia Reel 

and farewell song. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Serven, 

Paterson, N.J.; Mr.and Mrs. E.C. D. Wiley, Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Jeffers, 

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Moses, Franklin T. Locke, Mr. and Mrs. Myron J. 

Wilcox, Albert E. Phelps, Crown Point; Mr. and Mrs. Theodora Locke, Eva 

1. Locke, Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Locke, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Haviland, Mr. and 

Mrs. Allen Wickes, Luther Moses, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Moore, Mr. and 

Mrs. Charles L. Ross and Mr. and Mrs. Kirby Wilcox.

A beautiful, sunny Sunday; air filled with golden birch leaves, yellow 

thistle finches and- swallows flying, singing and twittering. Thermometers 

on shady porches registering 80 degrees at noon. Some change from the 

cold 40 and 50 ofthe past two weeks. 

A few drops of rain fell Thursday and Saturday nights, but hill sides are 

dry and brown, while old Potter Mountain sports a crown of golden leaves . 

The benefit operetta performances held Monday and Tuesday at Camp 

Williola on Charles Island netted $200 for the Moses-Ludington hospital. 

They were generously attended, many coming from Ticonderoga. The 

original work of the young Eagle Lake players was most enjoyable. Let 

other pens, better acquainted than mine, give details of this novel event, the 

only one since the famous burlesque of "Julius Caesar," given three years 

ago, in which a daring conspirator fell on his formidable webbing short 

sword and lived. 

Peter Flint has received word that Walter Camp, Jr., has just married 

Ruth Elder, the daring aviatrix. Camp declares that he simply "Won't be 

Mrs. Ruth Elder." In this he resembles his distinguished father, the 

"father of american football," Walter Chauncey Camp, Yale 1880, Mr. 

Flint's late friend and classmate with Walter Crafts Witherbee of Port 

Henry. Camp, Sr., married a sister of the famous political economy 

professor, Wm. Graham Sumner, of Yale. 

John Hall's funeral drew a large number of his old friends and 

neighbors this afternoon. He was famous in this section as a "caller" at all 

old fashioned dances and merry-makings, and directed many "catillons" 

among the city folks as well. He called his famous "mustang" dance at the 

housewarming party on Fox Island, owned by Edward Runge of Flushing, 

as well as at an open air dance at "Birchwood." He had also called for 

Fratemaland" at Paradox Lake and last week even invaded Ticonderoga's 

jazzy precincts, conducting old dances there each week, helping along 

Henry Ford's modern dancing ideas. 

An ex-forest ranger informs us that 2000 brook trout were lately 

introduced to a warm water pond south of here and will furnish fine bait 

next year for the various wolves of the fish tribe. He said "York state must 

be rich to feed brook trout to pickerel." 

We hear of a very important land transaction, the sale to a local cottager 

of the entire old Houghtalling property here, formerly the location of the 

Eagle Lake House. The purchaser is expecting to build two cottages on the 

site, the foundations of which will soon be started. Thus the fear that these 

premises might become a road house, with customary connections, is now

happily dispelled for all times. It will be recalled that the hotel property 

was claimed by a daughter of the proprietor, a G.A.R. veteran, who hailed 

originally from Crescent, N.Y., near Schenectady and the hotel and lands 

were awarded to her by Surrogate Pyrke of Port Henry, through a legal 

contest brought by a Schenectady attorney, she having also employed Mr. 

Flint of that city as associate counsel. 

Some of our expert bee hunters are putting up their "stands" among 

likely patches of golden rod and other tall flowers. The writer witnessed 

fully 300 little gray fellows on and about two honey combs Friday. Their 

returns in two minutes for more sweets showed a treasure tree 80 rods off, 

according to bee hunters lore. 

Representatives from the Lodge, Harris, Fisher and Conklin Camps 

motored to Crown Point and helped fill the school house auditorium there 

Saturday evening at the Tormey-Hummel violin and piano recital. We 

certainly are fast becoming a most artistic and music-loving community.

Most of the old cottagers have arrived for the summer and the Schroon 

stage brings from Chilson a bag for each daily. 

The fishing is fair this year, the bait being mostly a small. black minnow 

about a finger long, having a sucker mouth. These tempt the bass, which 

now refuse even shiners. 

George Hand lately caught in one day two ten pound great northern 

pike. 

Among those who attended the Ticonderoga celebration were Mr. and 

Mrs. Peter Flint, who took the Schroon stage at 8 a.m. Thursday, arriving 

in ample time to witness the grand parade at 9:30 a.m., led by Prof. 

Gizzarelli's Citizen Band of Port Henry. In keeping with the true historical 

spirit of the occasion, Mr. Flint secured rooms at the home of Thomas 

Mahar, 89 West Exchange street, which was, before rebuilt, the general 

store of George Thompson, Esq., Mr. Flint's maternal grandfather, the 

large dwelling house adjoining on the west being still in the hands of his 

grandfather's descendants. Mr. Flint assisted the band, playing the flute 

with the large wood wind section of that organization, both during the 

interesting ball game at Weed Park and at the evening band concert, 

opposite the Hotel Burleigh. He had played the clarinet with the 

predecessor of the present band some 40 years ago, under the late Thomas 

L. Witherbee, Esq., up to and including the celebrated Blaine campaign, 

after which he left Port Henry for New York city. 

It's a safe bet that the highway from Paradox here will be completed in 

about 30 days, judging from the great loads of crushed rock sent west from 

Alanson Moore's quarry. This will then made walking a pleasure, the 

loose stones now in the road making pedestrian efforts very difficult. 

We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival on Charles Island of William 

Conkling and family, at present detained by Mr. Conkling's indisposition.

July 24, 1930 

The warm weather ofthe past two or three days has been a relief to those 

who previously found the temperature a little cold. 38 degrees is reported 

creditably for three nights at Sand Pond, Boreas section, and it was about 

that here. 

The lake is rarely as quiet as it was all day Friday - meaning the 

placidity of its surface - not a leaf stirring in the forest, gives one a forecast 

of city temperatures. 

Among the stories vouched for is the care of a young buck deer that 

came along the state road last winter and looked into one of Alanson 

Moore's store windows, appearing very tame. Of course, such an addition 

to his winter larder could not be disregarded by this well known sportsman. 

He also states that a, deer had done the same thing in the two previous 

winters. This is like Jack Bennett's experience at his farm one winter 

lately. He'had been out after venison all day and returned about night fall 

tired and hungry. He leaned his loaded rifle against the wall and sat down 

to supper. Just then Mrs. Bennett spoke up, "why, there's your deer out in 

the barnyard, feeding the cows, now." A conn ection was immediately 

effected with the old Winchester and there was venison aplenty there for 

some time. 

George E. Fischer, an old New York friend of Peter Flint of Arden 

Lodge, is this season at the cottage of Prof. Garis of Union College, located 

near Crown Point Bay. The friends and families had a canoe visit on the 

lake lately. 

It is a pity that the loose cobble stones, dug from the hard road bed here 

by the road machines, cannot be raked off by the highway authorities. They 

make it almost impossible to walk in safety, especially at night. 

The large garage building in connection with the beautiful residence on 

the old hotel site is nearly completed and Mr. Spaulding, its owner is 

expected here in August. 

Mr. and Mrs. Ford and family of Buffalo are at "Napahwin."

August 14, 1930 

Fishing in Eagle Lake has been poor all season, and it's not for want of 

fish. It seems that the finny inhabitants are so surfeited with an abundant 

supply of their natural prey that they are not often tempted to seize the 

angler's hook, no matter how temptingly displayed. In many parts, the 

lake bottom is literally covered with a new species of small fish about three 

inches long, which afford the larger ones abundant food. Thousands of 

white fish have been put into this lake, as late as April last, by the 

Conservation commission aides. . 

The perch, which were formerly abundant along the shore and in 

shallow waters, literally cover the bottom in places on the Sunken islands, 

and rarely will take bait. They seem to have all moved to that locality and 

whether it is the auto boats of food migration no one knows. 

Pickerel here seem to live on air, or rather water. A four pound male 

fish, caught near Adren Lodge on a Buel spoon, had had no breakfast or 

dinner. The pickerel taken in Lake Champlain, opposite Port Henry, 

nearly always had eaten largely of perch, and the great ones were partial to 

the young of their kind there. 

There is no question that the auger-boring practices of ice fishermen on 

the lake have greatly lessened former abundance of perch. They, at that 

time, are about ready to spawn and the females are filled with eggs. 

During the week a number of people have called at Arden Lodge to see 

its large, rough stone fireplace, including Mr. and Mrs. Sid Rosen and Mr. 

and Mrs. Thomas Mahar. Mr. Mahar looked over this cedar log covered 

structure with a view, partly, of building a similar one at the old Vineyard 

farm, in place of the old house lately destroyed by fire. These lodge logs of 

back covered cedar grew in the Boreas River country and were delivered 

here in 1901 by Mr. O'Neil of Blue Ridge. The lodge was then erected by the 

late Pearl Hutchins and Mr. Flint, working together, and camping on the 

site. 

It is quite thrilling to see John Ford manage his little mutton-leg skiff, 

tacking across the broad lake in these recent fresh gales. The sloop "points 

up" wonderfully for such a small craft. 

The trucks from "Rock City" are coating the state highway at a rapid 

rate, and at times are passing almost continuously. The workmen have 

arrived at the bay at the foot of the lake and the trips are much shortened 

daily. 

Hedgehogs, having eaten the tops off some of his young hemlocks at 

Arden Lodge, its owner has devised a series of traps near their dens, with 

the result that no fewer than four large rodents, the last weighing 16 

pounds, have been taken.

The many still nights on the water were broken Sunday morning by a 

tremendous gale with some rainfall, lowering local temperature several 

degrees.The great stillness observed on the lake Saturday evening was due 

largely to the attendance at Treadway's dancing pavilion, where Eagle Lake 

used to meet Chilson on the diamond in days gone by. 

Chilson had a good baseball nine, to the writer's knowledge, as may as 

60 years ago. Some of the old nine are still living, like Abel Moore, Frank 

Sartwell and Tom Stowell, the older.

Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Conklin have been in the Royal Victoria hospital in 

Montreal all summer, where Mr. Conklin underwent a major operation on 

July 3rd. His convalencense has been very slow. Mr. Conklin was injured 

at the beginning of the war in 1915, when he was chairman of the relief and 

investigating committees that were organized in France by Ambassador 

Myron Herrick. He has suffered much of the time from shell and nerve 

shock. 

In 1926 Mr. Conklin, as a member of the World's Committee of the 

Y.M.C.A. attended the World's Conference at Helsingford and afterwards 

studied the New Youth and Educational Movements throughout Europe, 

following which he had a severe breakdown. Since· then he has been a 

semi-invalid. 

It is hoped that Mr. and Mrs. Conklin will soon be able to join the young
