| 21931 | Niagara Gazette - 9/1972 HENRY BEDELL, who is 86, believes he is the oldest resident of Youngstown. Or at least the oldest reside/it of the village (2,200 population) who was born there. In all, Mr. Bedell has spent 65 years of his live in the village and is a valuable living source of Youngstown's history. He is the only surviving charter member of the Youngstown Volunteer Fire Co. on Second Street. Mr. Bedell says that most of his original village friends are dead now, but he enjoys keeping busy - and that apparently agrees with him. "I have only been in a hospital to visit, never as a patient," Mr. Bedell boasted, adding^ that he's in excellent health and eats everything. He has to keep his strength up because he's also one of the most active villagers for his age. Mr. Bedell paints the exterior of homes in a housing development as a pastime, which he started at 78 - 10 years after retirement. The painter continues working from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. five days a week as he has for the past eight years. "I 'hit the sack' every night around midnight and am Up by 5 a.m. - even weekends when I don't work!" For the first five of the eight years Mr. Bedell worked for- the New York State Power Authority which set up the housing project of 111 houses built especially for men employed by the authority. "Before construction began, this area was a swamp filled with cattails," the painter noted. "Three years ago the company sold out to Northfield Properties IIIGVwhich has offices in Niagara Falls." AND IT MIGHT WELL BE that Mr. Bedell is the only survivor in Youngstown and the surrounding area who ever played pool with Robert Leech, a daredevil who went over the falls in a barrel in 1911. Ironically, Mr. Leech died after slipping on a fruit peel in England. - "Bobby owned and managed a pool room on Main Street, andhe liked to play pool with me because he always won," Mr. °Bedell laughs. "I haven't played since because my partners are dead. My other favorite sport is bowling, but I haven't played-in 20 years." The painter who has thinning white hair, and wears dark-rimmed glasses, has resided at 506 Westwood Drive, Youngstown, for the past nine years. He was reared in a house located on Oak Street which was demolished years ago. "MY PARENTS, the late William B. and Nancy Bedell, the former Nancy Phillips, were natives and long-time residents of Youngstown," Mr. Bedell said. "Dad was an area cabinetmaker most of his life, and Mom's mother, the late Mrs. Sadie Wagoner, was born in the old French Casstle at Fort Niagara, where officer's quarters were located at the time." Mr. Bedell attended the village's first schoolhouse for kindergarten through sixth grade, which was then located across from the present First Presbyterian Church on Main Street. He helped his father make cabinets and did odd -jobs until he was 19. "At 19, I jointed the Coast Guard in Youngstown (then called the Lifesaving Crew)," he recalled. "For years before joining, Coast Guardmen's patrols along Lake Ontario used to fascinate me. I'd always wanted to wear spyglasses and go on patrols." He remembered carrying torches if boats were in trouble and reporting it to the station so'the crew could rescue the victims. "There were no motorboats in the early 1900s only rowboats. I recall when I was a member of a nine-man crew and as part of our drill, the captain upset the boat by tilting a ladder that extended across the boat's bottom. Everyone got wet but the captain. "Out of the Coast Guard at 21, I did carpentry work on service quarters in the Quarter master Department at the Fort for six years," Mr. Bedell says. "I still remember swaying back and forth as Fort prisoners lowered me on a bolson chair - inch by inch - as I painted a 125-foot flagpole on the parade grounds. Since then it has been replaced by a smaller one in the same location." "I wouldn't care to paint it now, but I enjoyed it when I was younger," he chuckled. Years later when he and William May, another former Youngstown resident, were digging small trenches for street edge wooden forms for paving Main Street (it then was a dirt road,) Mr. Bedell put his pick through the skull of a buried Indian. He was buried on his back with his knees up. "Willy kept the tomahawk and a string of beads that slightly crumpled when he touched them," he said. "I kept the 12-inch diameter copper kettle which was buried between the Indian's legs. Unfortunately it was filled with arrowheads,'not money." Mr. Bedell kept the kettle, but lent it to his brother-in-law, the late Allen Bevier, of Niagara Falls. Mr. Bedell thinks it is the one on display at the French Castle at Fort Niagara. ANOTHER INTERESTING ITEM Mr. Bedell still owns is a cane in his home which his great-grandfather, William Bedell, whittled out of solid mahogany when he was taken prisoner during the War of 1812. It features a bullet shell at its tip and a knob at the top with a carved figure in between. His dad used to walk with it. "After assisting Dad with carpentry, the late George Winston of Youngstown andl operated the first garage in the Village - formerly a big barn on Main Street - and sold the first Model T's to Youngstown and area residents," Mr. Bedell boasts. When it folded, he worked at General Motors in Baltimore, Md., for 21 years. Mr. Bedell retired 19 years ago at 68, not 65, because the union voted that he stay longer because he was popular and a competent worker. "As soon as I retired, though, I came home to Youngstown." LEANING BACK in an easy chair, Mr. Bedell sighed, "Youngstown isn't as much fun as it used to be." "From Lockport to Second to Main streets was all fruit trees, and Falkner's Park has replaced a large apple orchard," he recalled. "Lockport Street used to feature a wagon shop, two blacksmith shops, a foundry for melting iron for casters, a bake shop and a meat market." Main Street's major attractions were four saloons, three grocery stores, a sawmill, an ice cream parlor, Leech's pool room, and the El Dorado Hotel which was built in 1890 and located on the Niagara River. With deep verandas three stories ^high that faced to the north and east, the structure teemed with tourists in the summertime. The whole edifice was ornately decorated with lattice work, spindles and curlicues patterned^fterihe florid style of architecture in the '90s. The building was torn down in 1935. All the original proprietors of the shops have since died or retiFed, and most of the buildings were knocked down and rebuilt. Youngstown's Main Street today consists of six apartment buildings, about 20 homes, three restaurants,.three.taverns, two churches, two barber shops, two gas stations, a liquor store, a beauty shop and a grocery store and two separate buildings Svhere town and public accountant offices are located. "Lockport Street has a gas station, a drug store, a grocery store, funeral home, dry cleaners, laundromat, bank, post office, library, an insurance office, a Pierce Marine building and several homes," Mr. Bedell said. "Second Street has basically a church, an apartment building, about 30 homes and a fire hall. "There was an old mill yard on Second Street where the'firehall is today," Mr. Bedell said. "Lumber headings used to be piled up to dry in the yard, and men used to float much timber down the Niagara River from Lewiston." He remembers, too, when the weekly Youngstown News was published in an old stone structure at the bottom of the hill on Water Street. Edited by G. Oliver Frick for years, it folded up 67 years ago. Just as the village newspaper is gone, so are the fish which used to abound in the Niagara River. "TODAY THERE'S NOT a fish in the river to catch. Years ago I saw fishermen bring in tons of all kinds," he remembers. "Once I made a mile motor boat run up a section of the river and caught 168 pounds of pike with 125 hooks', an anchor and a large netting. That's what I call fishin,' and I think water pollution and smelt eating the fish eggs is responsible tor killing the fish within the last 20 years." A past noble grand of the Old Fort Niagara Lodge of Odd Fellows to which he belonged for 55 years, Mr. Bedell doesn't belong to any clubs now. But he does enjoy gardening, as shown by his weedless flower garden and two huge, healty tomato plants. "I planted the tomatoes in June and have gotten a bushel off each so far, which is pretty good." Mr. Bedell's wife, the late former Sarah Wagoner, and his two children, the late Douglas Bedell and Dorothy Phillips of Baltimore, Md:, are all natives of Youngstown. He has five granchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. | BEDELL, Henry E (I131079)
