THE UNITED TELEPHONE LT COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA United Telephone System SI EET FRET GENT DG AW September 20, 1978 At left is Marguaritta Gingrich, president of the Haldeman Mansion Preservation Society; in the middle is Samuel Haldeman in bronze; and right is Joe Hottenstein, artist. In the rear is the mansion. Haldeman’s head is recreated by local artist Samuel Stehman Halde- man was born in Locust Grove, near Bainbridge, in 1812, the oldest of seven sons of Henry Haldeman. His mother was an accom- plished musician. His fa- ther tried to instill in little Samuel a love of learning. However, Samuel grew up to be a college dropout (from Dickinson College). He did, though, continue to educate himself. For ex- ample, he learned to stuff birds from a travelling Methodist minister. He later attended classes at the University of Penn- sylvania, studied natural history, and built up a library. He married and lived in a mansion under Chiques Rock. He prefered bird watch- ing to working in the family business. He made sugges- tions to nis brother and father, who ran the saw mill and steel works, on how they could improve their operations. At the age of 25, Haldeman refuted Locke's Moon Hoax. From that time on, he spent most of his waking hours in the library. Haldeman wrote about nature, geology, and many other topics, attempted to reform the spelling system of English, and became a member of 28 honorary societies. Haldeman died of a heart attack at his desk in 1880, a respected figure in the worlds of science, philology and phonology. i The mansion in which born, known as the Halde- man Mansion, was the site of a fund-raising event last weekend by the Haldeman Mansion Preservation Soc- iety of Bainbridge.

Unveiled at the same time was a cast bronze bust of Samuel Haldeman by Joe Hottenstein of the Locust Grove Art and Photography Studio—the place where Joe does his art and photos and lives. It’s about 100 feet from the mansion. Joe told us that the bronze bust was his third try. The first two tries broke. He and William Negy of Marietta finally got the bust cast at the New Jersey Shell Casting Co. in Marietta, after the first failures. “I couldn’t find any books on this type of casting,” Joe says. ‘“‘So 1 had to work out the techniques along with Mr. Negy.” : (Undaunted, Joe plans to soon cast his own picture frame out of scrap alumin- um.) Starting with an old engraving of Samuel, Joe did his plaster original with the aid of Bob Charles of York. Bob’s head is the model for Samuel’s. After the head was finished, Joe’ put Samuel’s features and long beard onto Bob’s head. Bob doesn’t have a
