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.
Mr. Sutliff, who developed pneu-
monia, following a cold, had been
a patient in Nesbitt Hospital for
several weeks. 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.
He was born in Waterton, Pa.,
October 14, 1874, the son of Ster-
ling and Mary Killian Sutliff. He
was married to the former Ida
Winters, who preceded him in
death eight years ago. For more
than thirty five years he was em-
ployed at Hillside Farms, retiring
in 1941. 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.” ’
