Woodhaven and Ozone Park News
New York, 1895
Counselor Merrill is bound to have his say in some newspaper. He has taken to writing for the Brooklyn Times.
The town board met at Stroh's hotel, Brooklyn Hills, on Monday night and listened to about fifty of the residents tell their tale of woe about the placing of the lights lately erected. After considerable oratory on the subject, the board agreed to replace several of the lights.
Constable Swift, while driving with his wife on the Plank road on Sunday night, was run into by a trolley car and upset. Mr. Swift escaped with a few scratches, but his wife was injured, it is feared, internally. She is confined to the house. The buggy was a wreck.
Valentine Rossbach has been granted a pension of $2 per month for disabilities received during the rebellion. The amount awarded to him is about $700. Mr. Rossbach was an orderly sergeant in Major Jacob Roemer's famous Flushing battery, which fought in thirty-four distinct battles.
The star chamber investigation in the case of Miller selling liquor without a license is over as far as the star chamber proceeding is concerned. Mr. Miller was placed under arrest on Monday evening and taken to Wantagh. Justice Seaman, after reading the complaint against him, paroled him until Feb. 28, to appear for trial at Valley Stream. If Mr. Miller should be convicted and fined, the fine will go to the town of Hempstead and the town of Jamaica will have the bills of the counsel to pay. We have competent justices in this town who are capable of hearing the case and deciding according to the evidence. There promises to be some very pointed evidence given in Miller's favor at this trial. There is considerable behind this case which may explode easily.
The Woodhaven board of education held its regular monthly meeting on Friday. Returns from the collector showed that of the $22,000 to be raised by tax, only $12,000 have been collected. There may be $10,000 remaining unpaid at the close of the present school year. The resignation of Miss Elizabeth Davies as a primary teacher was accepted. Miss Carrie C. Fox, of Toronto, was appointed to fill the vacancy. A resolution was passed requesting the Long Island members of the Legislature to oppose any legislation looking to the adoption of the proposed new basis of district quotas, recently recommended by State Superintendent Crooker. Under the proposed new system, the Woodhaven district would lose $1,500 of its present apportionment.

Woodhaven and Ozone Park News
New York, 1895
Mrs. Frank Luse presented her husband with a son Monday morning.
The snow storm caught the agate ware factory short of fuel oil and it was compelled to close down Monday.
Justice Lott of Woodhaven sent Joseph Sagerer to jail for five days for beating his wife and attempting to kill her with a carving knife.
Hydrant inspectors tested all the fire plugs in the district. Some that were found frozen were thawed out, and put in shape for use.
Americus hook and ladder company had volunteers on duty day and night at the truck house during the recent severe weather. Fortunately they had no calls to duty.
There is one thing about Woodhaven people worth noting — they pay more taxes, and pay more promptly, than the people of any other part of the town, notwithstanding the hard times.
Saturday morning an engine attached to a Rockaway Beach train got out of water and as everything was frozen up, the engine came to a stop at Americus truck house, where the men on duty attached two lengths of hose to a fire pump and filled the water tank.
John Buckley, aged 32 years, a blacksmith, residing at Woodhaven, has for some time shown signs of mental derangement. Saturday he was examined by Drs. Philip M. Wood and T. J. Flynn, who pronounced him insane. He was taken to the Poughkeepsie asylum on Tuesday.
The Democratic association of the Sixth district elected the following officers: President, O. W. Chevalier; vice president, L. Ruoff, Jr.; second vice president, E. Schwick; secretary, H. C. Schnider; treasurer, E. Miller; ballot clerk, F. Loverat, I. M. Lummis; town committee, H. C. Derby, F. Grosse, J. Taylor.
John Solly of Woodhaven has brought suit against James F. Touhey and William H. Fitzpatrick, of Flushing, for $1,800. About a year ago Solly's daughter caused the arrest of Frank Eglie. Eglie has a wife and family in Brooklyn. Judgment was obtained against Eglie and the Flushing contractors became his bondsmen. Eglie has disappeared and his bondsmen are called upon to settle. In the meantime Miss Solly has married.
A will contest which will awaken a lively interest in Ozone Park and Woodhaven will be opened before Surrogate Abbot in Brooklyn on the 27th inst. The will is that of Mrs. Mary Wochtler, who died at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Bonner, at Ozone Park. Mrs. Wochtler was nearly 80 years of age. Her estate is valued at $3,000. In the will her property is equally divided between her daughter, Mrs. Bonner, and the two sons of her second husband, Andrew and John Wochtler. In a concluding clause of the will it stated that Mrs. Bonner had used $1,200 which she and her mother had in the Williamsburg savings bank, joint account, and that unless this amount was paid back to the estate she should receive nothing.
Mrs. Bonner says she never had the money, but that $650 was spent for a monument and one of the step-sons drew $600 from the bank. Mrs. Bonner thinks stories were told to her mother to injure her.
William G. Bennett of Albany was arrested at Ozone Park for bigamy on Thursday and placed under $2,000 bail to await the arrival of the woman who claims to be his first and legal wife. The accusation against him is brought by Mrs. Alida Bennett, a daughter of Conductor William B. Howard of the Long Island railroad. Bennett met Miss Howard in Albany in the summer of 1893. The acquaintance continued after Miss Howard returned to her home. The couple soon became engaged. Bennett's request for an early marriage was opposed by the girl's parents and the ceremony was performed on December 14, 1893, by the Rev. Frederick W. Cutler. After the ceremony the couple went to Albany where they resided for three months. At the expiration of that time the young wife returned to the home of her parents, where she has resided at intervals ever since. Bennett visited there and often took his wife away with him to Albany. On one of these trips the young woman received information which convinced her that Bennett had another wife living when he married her. An investigation resulted in the discovery of another wife.
Justice Lott held Bennett to await the action of the Grand Jury upon a charge of bigamy.
OZONE PARK, Feb. 12.
To the Editor of the Long Island Farmer:
DEAR SIR — In your paper of February 1st, you ask the momentous question, "What has become of the West End Leader?" And echo answers, What? For lack of any reason for, or explanation of, the sudden and sad disappearance of John B. from the editorial eminence he attained by his well known cheek, pluck and ability, I suggest the following: In a late issue of the Brooklyn Times appeared a facetious letter under the heading "The Swift Decision," signed "A Hater of Deception," showing how our great and good ex-school commissioner for personal and political purposes degraded the high and noble office of newspaper editor by making it appear that a victory meant a defeat, there being a trifling difference of $9,987.50 between the damages sued for in the case of "Houssler vs. Swift" for false arrest, and the mere nominal sum given by the jury. The judge, besides, with praiseworthy justice, giving John B. Merrill's client the honor of paying all expenses, about $100, which (as "A Hater of Deception" remarks) "puts the saddle on the other nag." If any one can give a better reason for the sudden demise of said paper, let us hear from him.
A LOVER OF HONESTY.

A very pleasant reception was held on Wednesday night at Ballin's Central Hall under the management of the Park Athletic club. The affair was a decided success from start to finish. Among the faces noticed were Miss W. Wilkens, Mildred Burton, Mrs. Geo. Nones, Miss E. Macknight, the Misses F. Flock, S. Kessner, E. Newingham, C. Lovejoy, P. Farnsworth, S. Turk, M. Singer, E.

For some time the farm of Stephen Ryder, of South Woodhaven, has been used as a dumping ground for a lot of gas house refuse, mixed with tar and chemicals. On Monday morning the stuff in some way became ignited, and threw out a dense volume of black smoke which could be seen for miles. The people of Ozone Park thought that the school building was on fire and sent out an alarm, which brought out the different companies. Highway Commissioner Wolff drove up hurriedly, stopped the firemen, and explained the cause. This place was complained of to the board of health, who notified Mr. Ryder, the executor of the estate, to have the nuisance abated. He claims he has no authority over the matter. It seems that he leased the ground for a dump, drew his money in advance, and packed up and went, with his family, to Florida, where he is at present.

Will Not Return
Missouri, 1923
Cleo J. Flowers, who left about a month ago with his mother, Mrs. D. S. Flowers, for a visit in California, will not return to Albany, but has a position in Los Angeles in a branch of the Bank of Italy at a good salary. The Bank of Italy is one of the large institutions of the West, and it has over 2,000 employes. Cleo's experience in the Gentry County bank here where he had charge of the savings department proved a valuable asset to him. He is capable, ambitious, of good character and habits, and there is no reason why he will make out good there.
