    IN MEMORIAM
    A Tribute to the Late Andrew Laur
    By EDWARD T. WILLIAMS
    Niagara Historian

    The dictionaries define a pioneer
    as "one who goes before, as into the
    wilderness, preparing a way for
    others to follow," and that descrip-
    tion exactly portrays Niagara
    county's earliest settlers. Except
    John Stedman and his brothers, at
    Schlosser in 1760 there were few
    residents of Niagara county, other
    then the Red Man, before 1800.
    Stedman left for Canada in 1796
    after the evacuation of Fort Nia-
    gara, and early settlers began to
    arrive. The primary pioneer settlers
    of Niagara county have been defined
    as those who settled here or were
    born here previous to the War of
    1812. By the same token the secondary
    pioneers were those who
    wre residents previous to 1940. The
    latter date is over 100 years in the
    past. the Niagara County Pioneers
    Association was organized 57 years
    ago next September, and the title
    of pioneer has in that time been
    extended to embrace not only the
    first few settlers but the subsequent
    many.
    Into this latter class falls Andrew

    R. Laur. native and resident for
    j more than three-quarters of a ceni
    tury. With the rapid increase In
    population there are not a large
    number of persons in the class of
    Mr. Laur, native and resident for
    more than three-quarters of a cen-
    tury. We are speaking in the sense
    of time rather than regarding
    character and attainments, but An-
    drew R. Laur was an unusual person
    in both respects. Vitus Laur, his
    father, whose memory old residents
    respect was born 100 years ago and
    settled in the town of Niagara in
    1866. Mrs. Laur, who recently pre-
    deceased Mr. Laur was a descend-
    ant of a primary pioneer family of
    Niagara county. The Wltmer and

    Young families. Mrs. Laur was a
    Wltmer. were among the earliest
    settlers of the Niagara Frontier, in
    the locality where their descendants
    have ever since lived. Both
    the Witmer and Young families
    came by wagon and horses from
    Lancaster. Pa., In 1810. and were
    credited with being the earliest permanent settlers in the town of
    Niagara remote from the river. Both
    families removed to Livingston
    county at the time of the devasta
    tion of the Niagara Frontier in
    1813. and remained there until after
    the ending of the War of 1913,
    men coming back during the sum-
    mer months to attend to their
    farming interests, and going away
    again after the harvest.
    About the first employment that
    Andrew R. Laur had was as a bell
    hop in the Monteagle Hotel, the
    picturesque hostelry that was con-
    temporary with the John A. Roeb-
    ling suspension bridge.
    One of the enterprises of the
    Bellevue Land Company, which was
    organized in 1845 by Col. John Fisk,
    a prominent railroad man of Roch-
    ester; General Charles B. Stuary,
    a prominent civil engineer of
    Schenectady; J. V. Vedder of
    Geneva, and Roswell G. Benedict,
    of Saratoga, which bought most of
    the land that was the site of the
    village of Bellevue was the
    construction
    of the Monteagle Hotel
    which WAS first in charge of General
    Stuart, who secured the capital to
    build ft. Of course, it was some
    time afterwards that.Andrew R
    Laur, in the 70's, was employed At
    the hotel as a bell hop.
    Previous to the establishment of
    the Niagara Reservation In 1885,
    when Prospect Park along the American rapids was lined with various
    buildings housing manufacturing
    and business enterprises Mr. Laur
    was employed in one of these mills
    He has related to the writer
    boyhood experiences of the real vil-
    lage of 60 and more years ago. He
    has witnessed a great transforma-
    tlon in the Industrial Niagara Falls
    of today.
    The details of his long and in-
    terestlng life have been related.
    Some incidents could be emphased.
    Only recently one of these was
    called by the sale of the car
    which he had owned .for years in
    which President McKinley rode on his
    visit to Niagara Falls Just prior
    to his assassination at the Pan-Am-
    erican Exposition in Buffalo in
    September. 1901. The coach in
    which President McKinley rode,
    which was recently sold by
    Laur to Sanford Morden, Jr,|
    engaged in the transportation t
    ness, was one of those owned by
    the Miller & Brundage Coach Co-
    pany. Frank H. Zeiger, for many
    years connected with the
    Brundage Coach Company and
    successor, the Niagara
    Company, headed by John C. I
    says that this coach was one of
    about a dozen purchased by the
    former company of a manufactur-
    ing company In Connecticut, the
    coaches were very substantial
    character and cost about $1300
    apiece. They were used exclusively
    for weddings, funerals and for spe-
    cial occasions like the visit of
    President McKinley.
    On the occasion of the
    entertainment of Mr. and Mrs.
    of Philadelphia, the winners
    of the Niagara honey mooner's
    test, conducted by the Niagara Falls
    Chamber of Commerce, they were
    driven around the Niagara Reserva-
    tion and to the center of the
    Rainbow Bridge by Mr. Laur and
    photographed. Later Mr. and Mrs.
    Laur, Mr. and Mrs. C. F.
    Reichert, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
    Ford, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael
    McGray, 50 year Niagara Falls
    honeymooners, with Mr. and Mrs.
    David Edwards, longest married of
    all of the party, attended the re-
    ception to Mr. and Mrs. Fraul
    the Hotel Niagara. Now both Mr.
    and Mrs. Fraul and Mr. and Mrs.
    Laur have crossed the river.
    Andrew R. Laur took a deep in-
    terest in the history of the ??
    Niagara county of which he and his
    family were worth citizens and
    was president of the Niagara County
    Pioneers Association in 1938, he
    an active interest in the organization
    for years before and has been
    actively as a member of the execu-
    tive committee since.

    Andrew married WITMER, Esther Nancy on 1 May 1890 in Town of Niagara, Niagara County, NY. Esther (daughter of WITMER, Joseph and KAUFFMAN, Catharine) was born on 5 Mar 1863 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, NY; died on 5 Sep 1942 in Town of Niagara, Niagara County, NY; was buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, Town of Lewiston, Niagara County, NY - Left Center.
