Se, Tro - job is to remove the nails from YOU KNOW ME BY Al, Himself = a. May 1 the United States Post Office is changing the name of our local office at the east end of the lake, from Alderson to Harvey's Lake. Not many in Alderson seem to care one way or the other, not because they are not loyal to the name of Alderson, but because they have an equal regard for the title of Harvey's Lake. We may as well leave the apostrophe out of Harveys from now on as the post- office officials dont’ like it to ap- pear in a name. The persons we have listened to who are not in favor of the change are so, for two reasons. First, they state, in a few years Alderson will be barely mentioned and sec- ond they fear that the office may move to another part of the lake. To back up their first objec- tion they recall that there used to be an office -at Laketon and everybody called that portion of the lake by that name. Since the postoffice was removed from there Laketon is never mentioned any- more. The oldtimers call it West Corners and we ‘Johnny come latelys” mention it as Sandy Beach. It is possible that they are right on that score and their initial fear may be realized, but as to their second worry that the office may be moved we have been informed rumors to that effect are ground- less. Roy Tyson, the present post- master will have something to say about that and we have been told that he favors keeping the office at its present site. Also,” we have been informed by a reliable source, if any one advocates the removal of the office a petition will have to be circulated to Harveys Lake citizens and the Alderson: voters will have the same right as any other person in deciding to keep the mail coming to and moving |. out of Alderson, One of the annoying things that will be overcome, according to Doc Avery, is that the Alderson mail will no longer be sent to the Shaw- nee postoffice at the other end of the lake. Uncle Sam, it appears, had a bad habit of delivering Al- derson resident's mail to Shawnee when letters were addressed to Harveys Lake and citizens of the east end would have to travel half way- ‘round the lake to get their mail. Thinking that some persons, who like us, were not born at the lake, would be interested in knowing some history of Alderson and its postoffice, we called on Amos Kit- chen, who, we were told, built most of the earlier cottages here- about. Mr. Kitchen was born near! where Tony Javers now has his store, 81% years ago, and when telling us his age he put emphasis on the half that was plain to un- derstand that when you reach his age, you start counting the months. Mr. Kitchen is blind in his right eye and can just see the outline of his hand with his left optic. Despite this, he informed us, he is not through with carpentry yet. He has purchased the old blacksmith shop at Alderson and is tearing it down to sell the lumber. He receives some help with this. His the boards. He remembers when the Lehigh Valley Railroad came to the lake, in 1885 and then, he states Alder- son was named. The railroad, he said, built a station and called it Alderson to honor the president of the road. y Mrs. Arthur Stull states that it was the treasurer, not the pres- ident, and his name, she thinks was W. Z. Alderson. Mr, Kitchen bowed to the lady, saying: ‘She probably is correct, but at any rate, we both agree,” he laughed, “Alderson was named after an official of the railroad. In a short time,” he stated, ‘‘the portion of the lake around the station came to be known as Alderson.” Edward Bush was the first post- master and sorted mail in the building that was recently used by A. J. Sordoni as an office. George Young, station agent, succeeded Bush and was instrumental in mov- ing the postoffice to the Lehigh Valley RR. station. George Armi- tage took charge next and suc- ceeded in getting the office moved to a more central location at his home. When he resigned and John Newhart was named as postmaster the mail was sorted at its present site where genial Roy Tyson now reigns. We say genial, because Roy is continually going out of his way to do nice things for people. Mr. Kitchen is an interesting man to talk to. He remembers when the first cottage was built at Har- veys Lake. It stood on or near the lot where Grover Anderson now lives. He recalls it so vividly be- cause he remembers that hem- lock trees were chopped down on the site and used as columns to support the porch roof. The hem- lock wasn’t trimmed, just the limbs were cut off and there they stood for years hardly discernable from the woods surrounding the house. He has a copy of the Dallas Post of May 5, 1909 that was de- livered to his father forty years ago and is still in fair condition. J. H Anderson was editor and he published a four page, 8 column weekly. There are large 3 column advertisements on page one and C. W. Sutliff Buried Monday Employed At Hayfield Thirty-Five Years The funeral of Charles W. Sut- liff, 74, late of Trucksville, was held Monday afternoon from the home at 58 Carverton Road.

Tuesday, he re- turned home and seemed to be im- proving only to suffer several heart attacks a few days later, passing away early Friday morning.

Mr. Sutliff had been a resident of Trucksville for forty- four years, And was a member of Trucksville Methodist Church and Walnut Lodge 953, 1.0.O.F. many of the news items consisted of free advertising, Mr. Kitchen asked us to read the paper to him and one item that we both got a laugh out of was a letter to the editor from a Mr. W. A. Cook in which he asked the paper to in- form its readers: that he had a home for rent in Dallas. Editor Anderson not only printed the letter on page one, but he also adorned it with a head that stated “A Fine Summer Residence for Rent.” ’ —A. G.
