  • History of Vocal and Instrumental Music '-- in Chautauqua County, New York
    1 HISTORY OF VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC '-- IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, NEW YORK. "" A paper read at the 35th. Annual Meeting of the New York State Histor­ ical Association, at Chautauqua Instltution, by ~ilden R. Broacberry, MUsic Editor of the Jamestown EWBning Journal. In treating of music in Chautauqua County, it will be necessary for us at first, in order to get a clear perspective, to dis-associate in our minds andCOPYRIGHTfrom our consideration, modern music in all its splen- did development, and to hark back to primitive beginnings. In fact, as far as music in the best sense of the term is concerned, the first CHAUTAUQUA fifty years after the oreanlzation of our connty may be fittingly des- cribed as a pre-historia era. And yet, elsewhere in the world, the art had practically reached itsCOUNTYzenith, thru the efforts and labors of a coterie of men with whose names those interested in the art love HISTORICAL to conjure. Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest composer of contra- puntal music, who breathed his last in 1750, was followed across the SOCIETY Styx by the youthful Mozart, who died in 1791, and by papa Haydn, who passed in 1809. These were followed, shortly afterWESTFIELD,the organization of this county, by the greatest of all, the mighty Beethoven, who dled in 1827. Thus, while Chautauqua County was still a wilderness I NY and mus~c unknown here, these constructive giants had almost2012 ex- hausted its possibilities. What has been accompliShed since must be looked upon as an elaboration of their ideas and efforts. While the incidents of blrths and deaths, of business and of material enterprises, of great achievements and of catastrophes in our county are reasonably well set forth,- music, Which until recently was looked upon 8S more or less of a ~riYiality, and as playing - -2- no particular part in life's scheme, has been neglected in our annals, and the records for its proper treatment are extremely meagre.

  • Strange Stories of Chautauqua Lake
    1 STRANGE STORIES OF CHAUTAUQUA LAKE For the Ham Radio Club, October 21, 2016 INTRODUCTION Chautauqua Lake is a favorite topic of many past and present local historians. In addition to the major general historians who have dealt with the lake, a number of specialists have concentrated on it. The ones who come to mind most prominently are the Victor Nortons, senior and junior, Jean Lawson (also deceased) of L-S Aero Marine and the late Martin Arend and Dan Lincoln. Malcolm Nichols is apparently responsible for much of the obscure material about the lake in the Fenton Historical collection. Homer Danielson included lake stories in his highly personalized writings. I tip my hat to these and others, living and dead, as I venture into their cherished territory. 1 CHAUTAUQUA LAKE FOR DRINKING WATER If you look in local history books and collections, you find very little about the history of community water supplies. This is part of the general neglect of technological history. Through most of the 19th century rural drinking water came from springs and later dug wells, sometimes driven wells. Even in larger villages, Jamestown for example, the same situation prevailed. In that period the concern for public water systems arose from the need for fire protection. Domestic water use was something of an afterthought. Around the early 1870's, a private system, windmill powered, began to provide parts of Jamestown with spring and driven well water. About 1874 this was supplemented, particularly when needed for fire fighting, by water drawn from the outlet by Holley pumps driven by two water turbines, six and four feet in size, locally cast.

At its inception, the CLSC was basically a four year course of required reading. The original aims of the CLSC were twofold: To promote habits of reading and study in nature, art, science, and in secular and sacred literature and To encourage individual study, to open the college world to persons unable to attend higher institution of learning. On August 10, 1878, Dr. Vincent announced the organization of the CLSC to an enthusiastic Chautauqua audience. Over 8,400 people enrolled the first year. Of those original enrollees, 1,718 successfully completed the reading course, the required examinations and received their diplomas on the first CLSC Recognition Day in 1882. The idea spreads and reading circles form. As the summer session closed in 1878, Chautauquans returned to their homes and involved themselves there in the CLSC reading program.
