I Remember When

by R. Ferris Randall

LARGE

I always seem to do what my friend Bill Palmerton did. For instance my parents went to the Methodist Church in Eden, while I was going to Sunday School at the First Baptist Church of Eden where Bill was going. Our teacher was a pleasant older person, Clyde Horton. He took us on picnic's, and he used to let us drive his car in the field. Pictured here is a trip by our class to the Clarksburg swimming hole.

EDEN FIRE DEPARTMENT 100 YEARS OF SERVICE *** THE START AS IT WAS RECALLED ***

The Eden Fire Department #1 was established in 1923. In the years prior to 1923, veterans returning home from WW I felt a strong need to do public service and serve their community. Farm destroyed barns and cattle in a major blaze. Those fires and others prompted our town leaders, along with a huge influence from Henry Bley, to organize the Eden Fire Department. The department was then formed and chartered under a state charter, with two stations. One located in the Eden hamlet and the other in East Eden.

In the early 1900s, Eden had steam locomoJves rolling through town and Eden was rapidly growing. A major fire in the area of Hemlock Road and Green Street destroyed several buildings. Hamburg Fire Department was requested to help the towns bucket brigade save the hamlet area. Shortly thereaRer, a fire on the Bley

In Memory

One year ago, William H. Whitford ended his earthly journey of 97 years.

He will be forever missed by his wife, Jean McManus; children, Holly, William G. and Alain, Cameron and Amy, and the late Bruce Whitford, as well as stepchildren Laurel McManus, Elliott and Lizbeth Hall, (late Kevin) McManus.

He is lovingly remembered and missed by grandchildren and great grandsons as the most special Poppa who was always ready with a joke or two.

Memories of his loving, witty and generous life will always be with us until we can gather together again.

A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER…

“The planting of trees is the least self-centered of all that we do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.” – Thornton Wilder

As we celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day it’s good to remember that no one plants a tree for immediate gratification. We are making a promise to our environment and a commitment to the future.

We plant so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy the shade of the maple tree we lovingly tended in its first years. We plant so that migrating birds have resting places on their travels and our native birds have nesting sites. We plant so that we can harvest fruit and nuts for nourishment.

Think about planting a tree this spring. It doesn’t have to be huge. With care, even a tiny sapling will eventually grow and provide benefits. Plant a tree for the future.
