  • 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.
