Dell steamboat on Orchard Lale

Object ID: 2003-004-007

Collection:
Subjects:

There appears to be possibly three vessels powered by steam that at one time plied the waters of Orchard Lake. The first and perhaps most prominent was the Pride of the Lake, owned by A. F. Armstrong & Company of Pontiac. Her capacity was variously reported from 100 to a maximum of 150 passengers. The fare was twenty-five cents per person. The others were the Little Beauty, a rival of the Pride of the Lake, and the Dell, of which little is known. Excerpt from Song of the Heron by Charles Martinez.

MMA – Van Surdam, Henderson E. cadet in Wesleyan College football uniform. He was born in Hoosick Falls, New York, on September 28, 1881, the same year the railroads came to El Paso. A talented clarinetist, he won a music scholarship to Michigan Military Academy. His parents would not allow him to play football in high school, fearing he might break his musical fingers. Upon entering Wesleyan, he was made captain of the freshman football team and played varsity the next three years. He returned after graduation in 1905 to play another year – while studying chemistry – in order to fulfill his father’s wish that Wesleyan might beat its long-time rival, Williams. Excerpt from The Founder in NOVA, The University of Texas at El Paso Magazine, March 1978. Upon graduation Harry became coach of the football team at Marietta College in Ohio. In the first game he had his team throw a forward pass for which the team had a penalty called by the officials. In the big game against Ohio University the team threw a 49-yard pass to the surprise of the officials. Harry “devised one of the first legal forward pass plays ever used by a college team,” according to the Oklahoma Daily, in a 1966 article. Among his many honors was the Helms award for completing 70 years of activity in football. He helped organize the Touchdown Clubs of New York and Washington. In 1972, he was placed in the National Football Hall of Fame. On May 4, 1976, at age 95, he presented the award to the Hoosick Falls Central school in front of a cheering student body. It hangs in the foyer of the school.

Object ID: 2003-002-015

The restaurant was called the Rotunda Inn when I was a kid. I remember going there. It was never called the Rotunda Inn when Charlies Crab took over. People referred to it as the old Rotunda Inn, but it was just Charlies Crab until it burned down. There were all kinds of stories about the ‘Pink Lady’ who haunted the place when I worked there. Apparently she drowned in Pine Lake many, many years ago and has actually been seen. Many of the kitchen crew witnessed lights turn off and things dropping etc. after hours when the restaurant was closed. So, the logical conclusion has always been that the Pink Lady started the fire. I would love to know the official cause, if there is one. Offered by Molly Rozycki
