| 26881 | Town of Niagara Supervisor, Election Commissioner. Lived and farmed Joseph Witmer's homestead. Baptism indicates he was born in 1867 ALSO Niagara Gazette - 1/15/1943 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. | LAUR, Andrew Russ (I9371)

| 26893 | Transcribed from the book, Niagara County, NY . . . 1821-1921 . . . by Edward T. Williams, Vol. IIBiographical, pg. 620. WILLIAM P. MENTZ was for many years a substantial citizen of the town of Lewiston, and owing to the close proximity of his residence to the village of Suspension Bridge, and later the city of Niagara Falls, he had a considerable part in the life of those communities. Mr. Mentz was born in Philadelphia in 1836, son of a clergyman, and located in the town of Lewiston just before the Civil war. The Mentz estate on the Lewiston road was for many years one of the chief farms in Niagara county, and ultimately was divided, the part sold commanding a high price. The power transmission line of the Niagara, Lockport & Ontario Power Company crosses the property, the transmission station being located on the river bank, to which comes the electric current across the Niagara river from the Ontario Power company at Niagara Falls, Ontario. Mr. Mentz married Elizabeth Vogt, now deceased, daughter of Jacob J. Vogt, a pioneer resident of Suspension Bridge, and they had one daughter, Lillian, who became the wife of Walter E. Crandall, now a retired business man of Niagara Falls. To Mr. and Mrs. Crandall was born one son, William. Mr. Mentz was a public spirited man. He served in various positions of public trust, including that of supervisor of the town of Lewiston, was a Democrat in politics. For some time he was the United States Indian Agent for the Tuscarora Indian Reservation, and took much interest in educational matters there. In Masonic circles Mr. Mentz stood high, being the first Worshipful Master of Niagara River Lodge No. 785, F. & A. M. in the then village of Suspension Bridge, which position he held in the years 1882-3. His death occurred May 6, 1899, having been highly honored and respected by a large circle of friends. His daughter, Mrs. Crandall, died Jan. 1, 1917. She had erected several large apartment dwellings in the city of Niagara Falls, notably The Mentz, at the corner of Jefferson avenue and Fourth street. | MENTZ, William P (I17391)
