Early | Recéllections of Ardmore
By JOSIAH S. PEARCE,
His family consisted of his wife, who was a daughter of Richard
and Mary Broades and the only surviving sister, of Mrs.
Miles.(to whom reference has been previously mad
ects a good citi-
zen and an excellent neighbor, being altogether unobtrusive f in every-
thing he said or did, never seeking office and holding only such posi-
tions of trust or profit as were thrust upon himg and these he filled
with scrupulous integrity
Beyond his connection with the Lower Merion Building and
Loan Association, of which he was treasurer for many years 3 and to
which position his son succeeded, and his faithful service as a vestry-
man of St. Mary's E iscopal Church, he held no public or private
office in the community. In. politics he was a modest but earnest
_ Republican, always voting and working for the party, but never
| pressing to the front as a leader.
"e have referred to the jar situation of the house on this
property, in that it was built front on the railroad. This is not
remarkable when it is known that at the time, and for years after it
was built, every lot abutting on the railroad right of way had an
entrance gate opening almost) against the tracks, while lots lying
between the turnpike or the old Lancaster road and the railroad were
all traversed by well-worn paths leading irom one road to the oth
Accidents and narrow escapes were, therefore, more than frequent,
a well-remembered case being that of yak" Pratt, late of Pratt's
Express, who was struck by the locomotive of the Niagara Express
when going to the Morgan house in the year 1879.

still living, but does not “walk nor trespass on
the railroad,” for all the old gates are wisely and very securely nailed
shut, and no new ones are permitted,
The lot lying west of the Morgan property, between it and the lum-
ber yard of Smedley & Mehl, was owned in the fifties by Dr. James
Arverson and later by his son, Dr. Joseph W. Anderson, who farmed it
vent Fagan, George
L. Rowland and others, who at once erected the houses still standing.
This lot and the western end of the Morgan Property were both
sold in smaller lots at about the same time, Mr. Willian HY Miller,
Horner Smith, Miss DeHaven and others becoming owners of the
smaller lots and so improving them by the erection and mai

The remaining lot on Montgomery
is now the property of Smedley & Mehl, upon which is built their large
lumber shed and storage house. This lot was originally the property of
H. G. Litzenberg and was really a back lot to

Morgan property to Lehigh ye enue was unimproved until the

purpose of which it is now used, the storage shed being built by J. L.

of his life.
Mr, William Miles has been referred to as being associated wi
Mr Litzenberg for sometime in business at es Plate, then, and toe
years afterward, being known as Litzenberg’s siding, |
. Some time before the death of Mr. teeter (his son-in-law, Mr.
George P. Yocum, having succeeded to business} the Pennsylvania
Railroad, yhaving long before bought the “Public Works” (which in-
cluded the railroad) from the State, gave to the Litzenberg heirs notice
that the siding privileges would be revoked in 30 days, at the expiration
of which time all rights accruing under the original grant must be sur-
rendered and the siding vacated, giving as the reason for the demand
the statement that the je strip of land occupied by the siding was required
accommodate the four tracks about to be laid by te company.
compan declined a reasonable proposition to move the siding back, ate
the reason that the two tracks on the south side of the road were to be
sed exclusively for passenger traffic and no switches or sidings would
be installed excepting on the north or freight side of the road.
The demand was contested on the ground that the right to the sid-
ing had been ‘verted i in the property by the State and, therefore, it was
not in the power of the railroad company to divest the right. However,
at the expiration of the time named the company spiked the‘switch and
SF
tating the destruction of the coal trestle and bins and the tearing down
of the feed store, which stood quite close to the tracks,
The result was a protracted and determinedly-contested la it
to recover both the switch and damages for the total loss to the Litzen-
berg heirs of an excellent business. In both demands the claimants were
successful, the damages awarded being substantial and more than ten
he amount proffered by the company prior to the trial, while the
Murray, it being restored whee the idea of the two passenger tracks on
the south side was abandoned in favor of the present management,
whereby the freight traffic is s confined to the middle tracks, with the
passenger tracks outside.
An old frame house stood | for'many years near to where the new
«| Stone row now known as Murray Place now stands. It was occupied
for years by George Baker, Sr., whose only son was the junior member
of the firm of Stadelman & Baker, It was torn down during the admin-
“| istration of Mr. Litzenberg’s affairs by Mr. George P, Yocum.

purchase of this property by Mr. Murray and its consequent
improvement was of much importance to the village, Me has not only
erected an almost perlect plant for his business, but has demonstrated

and maintained in the very heart of the village as to be altogether
umobjectionable.
"The coal yards of Smedley & Mehl and the old electric light plant
must of necessity be referred to in our recollections, although it may be
claimed that, being west of Lehigh Avenue, our western boundary, they
