August 4, 1922 Take Barney Google F'rinstance by Billy De Beck

[ID: Barney Google stands on a thick book to raise himself up to look in his bathroom mirror and shave. Jerry stands behind him, pleading his case. /end] Jerry: Barney, the gang's coming over to size up Spark Plug. Barney: They've got a fat chance. I won't let 'em in!

[ID: Jerry leans on his cane while Barney wipes his face off with a towel. /end] Jerry: You're crazy! If they're gonna plunge on your horse, they want to give him the once over. Barney: No chance, Jerry.

[ID: Barney fastens a dickey around his neck, looking up into the mirror, tilted as far forward as it can without facing the floor. /end] Barney: He ain't here now. To tell the truth, I didn't have the dough to pay my board bill this week and I put him to work.

[ID: At a brick yard, a racist stereotype of a black man whips Spark Plug, who's tied up to a circular dynamo, being driven in circles. There's a deep rut in the dirt tracing their path. Barney looks on from the background, sat on a half-finished brick wall. /end] Barney: Don't worry, Sparky. After you win the big Handicap, you'll never see a brick yard.

Brickyard Blues

Brickyard, Lower Garden District. New Orleans. We are headed to New Orleans. What? Already? No. It’s nothing good. A friend of ours just enter home hospice care. She’s been fighting cancer for four years. She’s so sick that she sleeps about 18 hours a day. When the home health care nurse arrived she couldn’t sit up to be examined. She doesn’t have much longer to fly through the stars home. By…

Penn Yan’s two-block brick yard

By Jonathan Monfiletto

Sometimes, when I am researching a specific topic, I go into the project expecting to find a certain thing and come out learning that thing, maybe, and also something totally different. I find that to be quite delightful, actually; it’s like getting that Christmas gift you didn’t expect or even ask for but finding out that something is actually pretty cool.

Here’s a recent case in point: I wanted to learn about the history of 107 Chapel St., which is currently the L. Caroline Underwood Museum – one of the three buildings on the Yates County History Center property – but was a private home long before that. Whenever I begin a tour of the museum, I start out by noting the museum is named after L. Caroline Underwood, who intended to bequeath her home and her belongings as a museum, but this building itself is not Ms. Underwood’s home. And without getting too much into the weeds of my tour talk, I generally have to stop there because, until now, I did not know much of anything about the history of 107 Chapel St.

But, in the process of researching the history of 107 Chapel St., I learned Chapel Street – all two blocks of it in the village of Penn Yan – was the last street in the village to be paved with bricks. In June 1988, according to several newspaper items in our subject files, Chapel Street was torn up and paved with asphalt for the first time. During the project, the existing curb was dug up and village crews installed storm sewers under the street. It is unclear if re-bricking the street was ever considered, but it was noted re-bricking would have been too expensive.

Chapel Street may have been late to the paving game originally anyway. A March 21, 1929 newspaper article detailing a recent village board meeting stated Chapel Street property owners petitioned the board to pave Chapel Street from Main Street to Keuka Street – the entire two blocks of the street – during that year. At the time, the petition was tabled for future consideration, but a newspaper article from the following year puts paving two blocks of Chapel Street on a list of village improvement projects to take place during the summer of 1930. Even then, bricks were to be used to pave Chapel and Court streets – two blocks of Chapel and four blocks of Court.

A typewritten paragraph in our subject files states Chapel Street was surveyed in 1824 – just one year after Yates County was formally established and nine years before Penn Yan was incorporated as a village – and Court Street surveyed the same year. The following year, the site of the Methodist Church – currently on the corner of Main and Chapel streets, across from the Oliver House, but then further down on Main Street – was bought for $5 and a church built on the site in 1826.

Amid my research, I learned the house at 107 Chapel St. has much more in common with the Oliver House, officially located at 200 Main St. in Penn Yan and colloquially just across the stone parking lot from the Underwood Museum, than merely both buildings being part of the YCHC property. Much like the home that was built by the Oliver family and occupied by three generations of Drs. Oliver who lived there and practiced medicine there, the home at 107 Chapel St. was also built for a family of doctors who lived and practiced there.

According to a typewritten item in our subject files, the home was built in 1926 by the father of Dr. Barbara Kuntz Strait, who married Dr. Bernard Strait in 1917. A photocopy of an item from the April 13, 1923 Rushville Chronicle and Gorham New Age states: “Dr. B.S. Strait has purchased the two lots on Chapel street known as the Oliver lots, of the Misses Carrie and Jennie Oliver, and will be a handsome modern home there soon. Dr. Strait’s father, who, before his retirement from active business, was an architect, will draw up the plans.” So, one of the doctor’s fathers designed and built this home.

The Straits’ connection to Penn Yan is unclear; Barbara came from Williamsport, Pennsylvania while Bernard grew up in Rathbone, Steuben County. Bernard practiced medicine in Penn Yan for 50 years with an office on Main Street and as the director of Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital. Barbara hosted her practice right in the home, in fact in what is now the research room.

If you have ever visited our research room, then you can picture the scene as a doctor’s office. The doctor’s desk was located where my desk is located. The pharmacy was located within the area that holds the bookshelves of the research room; the exam room was located in the area of the subject files and family files. The entrance and waiting room were located in the area of the table, computer, and genealogy and vital records materials.

The Straits divorced around 1930 or 1931; the 1930 Census records both Bernard and Barbara residing together at 107 Chapel St., while Bernard married Florence Owens on December 28, 1931. Bernard appears to have married at least four times, while Barbara seems to have married just the one time and to never have had children (Bernard did have children and stepchildren with his subsequent wives). Upon the Straits’ divorce, Barbara continued to live and practice at the Chapel Street home while Bernard resided and worked elsewhere. Barbara retired in 1965 – apparently at the age of about 85 – and died in 1972 at age 91, while Bernard had practiced medicine for 50 years by the time he died in 1965 at age 75. He is described as a surgeon in some newspaper articles; otherwise, the Straits’ medical specialty is not listed.

The Straits were both quite active in the Penn Yan community through various social and charitable organizations; Barbara was a founding member of the Zonta Club, while Bernard was a charter member of the Kiwanis Club. Serving as New York District Governor in 1946, Bernard was also a member pf several other organizations. Barbara appears to have been heavily involved with the local Girl Scouts and the Keuka Delphians as well as a few other groups.

Barbara graduated from South Williamsport High School and Muncy Normal School; Bernard graduated from Addison High School. Both attended University of Buffalo Medical College – possibly where they met and, ironically, where Dr. William A. Oliver (the third Dr. Oliver) also received his medical education. Bernard completed advanced study in New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago and also served as a captain with the Army Medical Corps during World War I.

Following Barbara’s retirement, she essentially donated the 107 Chapel St. home (selling it for $1, according to property transfer records) to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. St. Mark’s used the home for the parish rectory for a period of time, from 1965 until 1971. The Rev. Bill Kirkpatrick, the pastor of the church at the time, lived in the home with his wife, Anne-Marie, and their three daughters. In fact, our archival collection includes an undated Christmas card from the Kirkpatrick family with a sketch of the home on the front.

Two of the Kirkpatrick daughters - Debbie and Kristie - actually visited the home a couple of months ago with their children and some family friends. The group was in town for the 50th anniversary celebration of St. Mark’s Terrace, across the street from the Underwood Museum and one of their childhood homes. While I typically give tours to visitors, in this case Debbie and Kristie led the tour; they pointed out where their living room and dining room were in what is now the gallery, where their family room and father’s office were in what is now the research room, and where the bedrooms and bathroom were upstairs. It was so wonderful to hear their memories of the home, see their excitement at walking through it again, and learn more about the home’s history.

The Kirkpatrick family moved to the Rochester area in 1971, and the church decided it no longer needed a rectory. According to newspaper items, by 1974 107 Chapel St. was occupied by Mrs. Geoffrey Robbins, who hosted meetings in her home of La Leche League to raise awareness of breastfeeding. By 1980, it was the home of Norman and Susan Lindenmuth; Norman was also a doctor and the medical director at Soldiers and Sailors, while Susan was a lawyer and the Yates County District Attorney.

YCHC acquired 107 Chapel St. – because it happened to be on the market at the time and right next door to the existing Oliver House – with funds from the L. Caroline Underwood Historical Museum Trust. The Underwood Museum officially opened in 2004.

Now that you and I both know a little more about Chapel Street as a whole and 107 Chapel St. in particular, I will leave you with a quote about Penn Yan from then-Mayor T.W. Windnagle from the aforementioned 1930 newspaper article on improvement projects, for no apparent reason than I just found the words intriguing and perhaps inspiring. Of Penn Yan at the time, Windnagle said: “It’s now a snappy little place with everyone hustling around to make an honest dollar.”

Are you watching Pit Babe? I'm obsessed and you would definitely recommend it I think!

I have IQIYI, so I put it on just because... Like, ABO has been explained to me, I know what it is, I just ... struggle to comprehend it outside of like... werewolves.

Anyways

I put it on, I'm inching my way through it, but I won't be making a recommendation for it. Not because of the ABO stuff (which, so far it could pass as just gay x-men who like to talk about breeding sometimes as a bit of a verbal kink; you could take 'alpha' in the alpha-male sense), but because it's about racing.

I hate racing.

Vroom vroom go fast. You vroom vroom go fast faster than he vroom vroom go fast. Good for you, I guess?

I cannot comprehend the entertainment value in vroom vroom go fast- and I live in Indiana.

Like, I'm only on episode 4, but it really isn't doing anything to distinguish itself in any way yet. Vroom vroom go fast guy hates evil vroom vroom go fast guy and fucks wannabe (but suspicious) vroom vroom go fast guy. And other vroom vroom go fast guy is in love with the first vroom vroom go fast guy and-

*shudders* vroom vroom go fast is just tedious.

#ask #and yes i call it vroom vroom go fast at work; mainly to annoy the guys i work with who are on camera crews for the 500 and brickyard #i just don't care about sports in general and i work surrounded by guys who are obsessed with them; so i constantly have to hear about them
