Haldeman’s head

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. A
drawing of the mansion, by
Donegal High grad Linda
Hayden Wilson, was offer-
ed for sale. Ms. Wilson is
an art and crafts teacher at
Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill.
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
