It is remarkable to consider the long history of our congregation, as it indeed had its birth in the same year that closed the French and Indian War. In that same year by the terms of the Treaty of Paris, Great Britain acquired Canada and all the French possessions east of the Mississippi including the Spanish territory of Florida. Spain acquired all French land west of the Mississippi. This congregation had its beginning decades before the first bicycle was invented and nearly a hundred years before the first railroad was put into use in this country. Equipment and devices such as the automobiles, steamboats, typewriters, steel pens, radios, television, telephones, computers and many of the countless devices and luxuries which today are common place items were unheard of by the founders of the congregation. Our congregation has lived through all the wars, both mainland and foreign, in which our Nation has engaged since the French and Indian War. It has endured its struggles and hardships of the Revolutionary War and Civil War. It has experienced such eventful occasions in American history as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, the VersaillesTreaty, the founding of the League of Nations and the organization of the United Nations. It has truly come all the way from the horseback age into the age of space and nuclear power. It has, in fact, experienced every phase of events that has made our Nation the greatest on the face of the earth.
The History of Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Church 1763 to 2013
The Rev. Nicholas Hornell became the pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in York in October of 1763, and at the same time he began to serve our congregation. It i sfrom this information that the year 1763 was established as the beginning of Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. During this time and until the pastorate of the Rev. C .J. Deininger the congregation was a part of the Spring Garden Charge. Pastor Deininger is referred to as the‘founder of Quickel’s Charge’. The first authentic records of Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Church (1) are contained in a baptismal register dated 1765. The first baptism recorded is that of Maria Barbara Weyer, dated April 9, 1765. Three other baptisms appear on the record during this same year. The record is in German script with Latin headings, which would indicate that they must have been kept by the pastor since the members of the congregation were predominantly German. The record, however, does not indicate whether the date used is the date of birth or the date of baptism, and not until 1766 does the word ‘born’ appear in the baptismal register. It is assumed that the dates in the beginning of the register refer to the date of baptism rather than the date of birth. It is believed that the first meetings of the congregation were held in the homes of the early German settlers in the community until the middle of the year 1767. At this time a stone school house was built on lands owned by Frederck Eicholtz, Ludwig Weir and Henry Shank, west of Mt Washington Church. This school house then became the seat of worship for the early congregation. Worshippers came great distances by foot and horseback, which were practically the only means of travel at that time, to assemble for services in the school house. Soon the school house was considered too far west of the center of population and the congregation outgrew the facilities of the school house. These motivating factors induced the building of a new church building. In 1770, on land acquired from Michael Quickel and his wife Barbara, the first church building was erected. Obviously it is from this source that our congregation acquired the name of‘Quickel’. The following is a description of this building as written by the Rev. Dr. Adam Stump and published in March 1911 issue of the ‘Parish Telephone ’which he edited. “It was made of logs and was weather-boarded. It was not made as big as the present building, but was a galleried church. Its longest side faced the road. The gable ends faced eastward and westward. The west end had five windows; two for the room below, two for the gallery and one in the gable. The east end had four windows and a door, which opened to the stairway to the men’s gallery. The side facing the road had four windows for the gallery; and three windows and a door, which was used by the women, were for the lower floor. There was no bell tower and no organ loft. On the inside the Goblet-pulpit with its spiral stairway was on the side toward the creek. The preacher was perched as in a swallow’s nest set against the wall. Four windows on that side admitted light. The walls and ceiling on the inside were plastered. To the preacher’s right was the old women’s corner and to his left sat the elders and deacons. In front of the pulpit was the altar railing with its gates and communion table. Facing the pulpit were two rows of seats or wooden benches, with an isle between them. Above were the three sides of gallery seats, as at present.” The photo shown is an architect’s conception of the appearance of this building, derived from this type of architecture from this period and created by Robert McAlarney, Registered Architect of York, PA. The records indicate that in 1793 this building was enlarged, but details are not available pertaining to the enlargement. This building housed the congregation in its worship and various services for eighty years, when it was replaced by the present building in 1850. The story is told that the more progressive members of the church felt the need for a new building, with better facilities, but they were opposed by the more conservative group in the congregation. In order to persuade the conservative members into building a new church building, they placed large poles against the old building, supposedly to support the structure, and bemoaned the decrepit condition of the old building. After several weeks of this kind of treatment and trickery the support of the majority of the membership finally prevailed and a new building was erected. It is the same building used for worship today, and to which additions and improvements have been made. The building originally was without a bell-tower, bell or steeple. Thirty-one years later, 1881, the building was remodeled and spire and bell-tower with a bell weighing about 1500 pounds were the major items of the remodeling. Financial records show that entire cost of this remodeling was approximately $650.00 of which $417.95 represented the cost of the bell alone. The dedicatory service for this occasion was held on July 10, 1881. At a special congregational meeting called on July 18, 1909 the congregation approved the building of a new sexton house to be erected on the same site as the old sexton house which was to be demolished. There are no records as to the date the first sexton house was erected, however, the financial records indicate that in 1877 a well was dug at that location. The new sexton house was to be twenty-eight by thirty feet of frame construction with a casing of a single course of pressed brick and a slate roof. This house was dedicated at a special service of dedication on April 3, 1910. It served as the dwelling house for the sexton and caretaker until December, 1959, when Mr. George Fink retired as sexton of the church. In 1960 the sexton house was purchased by Mr. Luther Lehr who had the building removed from the church property to a location about a quarter of a mile toward Manchester along the Manchester-Zion View Road on the south side of the road, where it is now used as a private residence. During the first one hundred years of the present building many changes both minor and major were made to the building and surrounding property. The whitewashedpicket fence that surrounded the church and theold whitewashed board fence that enclosed the oldgraveyard were removed. The hitching posts and shelter sheds were removed to make way for the automobile age. Electric lights were installed in 1920. During the late 1920’s the old graveyard across the road from the present church was cleaned of bushes, sumac, and other obnoxious weeds and brushes, the gravestones placed in straight lines and the burial ground was seeded with lawn seed and converted into a spot of beauty. In 1926 the church building had undergone a major renovation and face-lift. This included the installation of new floors, pews and the relocation of the old pulpit. The old pulpit was located at the front wall of the church. It was a desk-like arrangement, elevated and accessible by two flights of stairs leading to the pulpit from both ends. In the front of the pulpit was the altar area surrounded by the altar rail, around which the members gathered to partake of the Holy Sacrament of Communion. On each side of the Altar area were bench-like pews erected in a perpendicular position with the pews in the main sanctuary. This renovation changed the entire front of the church and pulpit area. The entire altar area was elevated approximately three feet above the main floor and a movable pulpit was placed in use. The pews on both sides of the old Altar were removed and small rooms erected in their places. These rooms were used as meeting places for the Church Councils and for various other meetings. The Sunday School utilized them for infant and primary rooms during the Sunday School period. This renovation also included the redecorating of the entire interior of the building. In November of 1937 Stained-glass memorial windows were installed to replace the previous plain glass windows. In the Spring of 1944 Pastors McCarney of the Lutheran Congregation and Olewiler of the Reformed Congregation and Elmer Fink, superintendent of the Sunday School, held a meeting on a Sunday afternoon at the parsonage to discuss and formulate plans for establishing a Building Fund. There were no specific plans at this time for any construction of a new building or an addition. It was felt that since this was during World War II, when appliances, automobiles, etc. were unavailable for purchase, and since many people were getting more money than they knew how to spend, it would be an ideal time to create a fund for future expansion. The plans were submitted to the separate Councils and were unanimously approved by these bodies. Later they were submitted to the Sunday School and it too voted approval. A Building Fund Committee was formed, comprising nine persons; two to be appointed by each of the Councils, two by the Sunday School, and the two pastors and Sunday School Superintendent. Funds for the building fund account were raised by individual and organizational subscriptions and donations, Sunday School Rallies and third pocket in the envelope. In 1946 an addition to the old building was under serious consideration. An architect, Mr. Harry Lenker, was employed and plans, specifications and drawings were prepared. The plans first proposed by the architect called for an extension to the old building to be in the same height, and having two floors and a basement. This type of addition was not well received by the Committee nor the Councils. However, in September, 1946, the plans were submitted to both congregations and the Sunday School, and met with disapproval by all three of these organizations. New plans and drawings were prepared by the architect and were approved by both congregations and the Sunday School in April, 1947. The result of this brought into being the annex to the church building in use today. During this same year a new Furst Organ, designed and built by Furst Organ Co. of York, PA was installed. Dedication services were held on September 7, 1947. The Dedication Address was delivered by Dr. D.F. Putnam, Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, Gettysburg, PA at the 2:30 P.M.service. The evening service was a Choir and Organ Praise service, featuring the Salem Union Church Choir of Jacobus and an organ recital by Mr. Paul Hildebrand. On June 4, 1950, in the one-hundredth anniversary year of the erection of the original building, a Ground-breaking service was conducted.The Rev. Dr. Gerald G. Neely, then pastor of Christ Lutheran Church of York, PA, was the principal speaker. By this time the Building Fund was in excess of $12,000.00. On October 13th of the same year, a cornerstone laying service was conducted, with the Rev, Dr. Allen S. Meck, President of the Theological Seminary of Lancaster, PA as the principal speaker. During the time of the renovations, the rooms under the balcony, no longer necessary, were removed. It was during that time when the Rev. C. Guy Stambach painted the picture in back of the altar. Services for the Dedication of the new addition, carpeting and redecoration of the existing building were held on November 18 and 25, 1951. the addresses of Dedication were given by the Dr. Harry Baughman, President of the Gettysburg Lutheran Theological Seminary, and the Rev. Robert Olewiler, Pastor of the Grace Reformed Church,Washington, D.C. The total cost of the new construction and renovations and remodeling to the existing building was in excess of $ 52,000.00. Early history reveals that the Reformed congregation, which owned jointly with the Lutheran congregation the property and facilities, was organized in the year 1767. This union relationship continued until 1957. For several years prior to 1957, during the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Hoover, many ideas were expressed and discussions held concerning the possible merger of the two congregations, and if this could not be affected then a fair means of dissolution would be sought. In 1956 the decision to dissolve the union relationship was made. This movement was based mainly on the fact that Quickel Lutheran congregation, having attained a membership of 485 communing members, considered it wise to have its own services every Sunday. Through a series of meetings between the Councils and with high officials of both Synods the date of actual dissolution was set. On May 26, 1957 the last union service was scheduled. The consideration agreed upon by both congregations was approximately $24,000.00 to be paid by the Lutheran congregation to the Mercersburg Synod of the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Having made this payment the Lutheran congregation became the owner of all church property and facilities.The majority of the members of the Reformed congregation united with the Evangelical and Reformed Church of Starview, PA. Others affiliated themselves with other congregations. For many years Quickel Lutheran Church was associated with other churches, among which was St. Paul (Wolf ’s) Lutheran Church, in what was then known as the Spring Garden Charge. During the pastorate of the Rev. C. J. Deininger (1852-1885) Quickel Lutheran Church and St. Paul (Wolf ’s) Lutheran Church disassociated themselves from the others churches and united with the newlyorganized Mt. Zion Lutheran Church (1852) andSalem (Paradise) Lutheran Church in what then became known as Quickel’s Charge. This union relationship of the four churches continued until 1922, when Wolf ’s and Salem dropped from the Charge and the union association between Quickel and Mt Zion continued. In 1955 Mt Zion congregation made a proposal to Quickel congregation for the dissolution of the jointure. At a special meeting of the Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Council held on July 20, 1955, the terms of the proposal were discussed and approved by the Council to be submitted for congregational ratification on August 28, 1955. The Resolution to dissolve the Charge was submitted for voting on the stated date, at a Congregational meeting, and the dissolution was approved, to become effective on December 31, 1955. Now for the first time in the long history of Quickel Lutheran Church it began to operate as a single unit. Under the terms of the dissolution agreement Quickel obtained possession of the parsonage located at 1888 Susquehanna Trail, North York, PA. This was the first time in the history of the congregation that it owned a parsonage of its own. Its ownership, however, was short-lived. On February 12, 1956, just a month and a half after acquiring it, it was sold to Phoebe E. Neiman for the consideration of $14,000.00. The erection of a new parsonage soon became the topic of discussion. Shortly after the sale of the parsonage the Council presented to the congregation a proposal for the building of a new parsonage. The congregation voted approval. However, at this time no further action was taken as it was deemed wise to wait until the Lutheran-Reformed dissolution had been consummated. Instead, a property located on the Emigsville hill (in York, RD 5) was purchased from the estate of Paul Charleston by congregational action on August 5, 1956. The consideration paid for the property was $18,000.00. Pastor and Mrs. Roy L. Yund were the first to occupy the newly acquired parsonage. (1) The church has commonly been referred to during the years as Zion Kirche, The German Lutheran Church (Kirche), Quickel’s Lutheran Church, Quickel’s German Lutheran Society. The official name, however, is “Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Church” having been so named by the Articles of Incorporation dated August 13, 1956. In 1960 a move to build a new parsonage in the church yard adjacent to the Church gained more and more momentum. A proposal was presented by the Council to the congregation for approval of erecting a new parsonage at a cost not to exceed $25,000.00 or remodel the existing sexton house and convert it into a parsonage also not to exceed $25,000.00. The congregation approved the removal of sexton house and the erection of a new parsonage on the site. The parsonage was completed in the early part of 1961 and dedicated on April 23, 1961. Pastor and Mrs. Yund also were the first to occupy the new parsonage. The early growth of our congregation was quite rapid. In 1797 the membership was 103, and by 1886 it had grown to 425 communicant members. This may be more easily understood when we consider that at the time of the organization of Quickel Lutheran Church the only other Lutheran churches in York County were the following: St. Matthew Lutheran, Hanover, PA (1732), Christ Lutheran, York, PA (1733), Canadochly Lutheran (1733), Paradise(Holtzschwamm) (1745), St. James Lutheran, south of Hanover near the Maxon-Dixon Line (1750), Friedensaal’s Lutheran, Springfield Township nearSeven Valleys (1752), St. Paul Lutheran , NorthCodorus Township (1754), Salem (Strayers) near Dover (1754), St. Jacob’s (Stone Church) Jefferson (1756), and St. Paul’s (Wolf’s) organized in 1763. This rapid growth is also a testimonial to the will, faith and determination of its members in the discharge of their Christian duties. Since the population during the early period of our congregation was all German, sermons and services were conducted in the native tongue (German). Catechatical instruction was also given in the German language. By October, 1890, when the Rev. Dr. Adam Stump became the pastor of the congregation two-thirds of all services, except for the singing, was in German. The use of the German language was discontinued before the close of the ministry of Dr. Stump, probably around 1912. Old records reveal that for years our congregation has engaged in social activities, such as congregational fellowship suppers, picnics, and other social functions. This practice continues today. Several of these affairs were given in honor of persons who have rendered long and faithful service to the church. On February 2, 1957, a fellowship supper in the form of a covered dish social was held to honor Mr. George Fink, who at that time had completed his thirtieth year as church sexton. This affair was sponsored jointly by the Lutheran and Reformed Congregations. In the fall of 1961 a similarfunction was held in honorof Mrs. Burnelle Baker on the occasion of having served as church pianist and organist for thirty-three years and also for her long and faithful service in the Sunday School and as director of the choir. This was in the form of a“This Is Your Life” program and recalled highlight experiences and events in the life of Mrs. Baker. Another program, in 1975, added the Annie Brenner Narthex and redesigned the chancel. The altar was moved away from the wall to become “free-standing”. The chandeliers were also installed. Late in 1982, a new two manual, thirteen-rank M.P. Moller Opus 11601 organ, replacing the Furst organ, was installed at a cost of $80,000.00. It was installed on the balcony level, over the Narthex and to the rear of the Nave following renovations to accommodate the organ, wind chest, pipes and the choir. The 13 ranks are composed of 61 pipes each for a total of 793 individual pipes plus 1½ octaves of chimes. A zimbelstern was added in 1991 in memory of Lowell Murphy. The organ is currently insured for $260,000 or $20,000 per rank replacement value. During 1987 and 1988, paint was removed from the bricks of the Church building, after which the building was pointed and the bricks were treated with silicone. All exterior and interior woodwork was refinished, the stained glass windows were leaded and permanently protected, and an entrance ramp was built for the handicapped. The carpet was replaced, pew cushions were purchased and the stained glass windows (removed during the 1950renovations) were installed as shadow boxes on either side of the altar at balcony level. In 2001 a new slate roof (slate was shipped from Wales) was installed. A computer program was purchased for the Treasurer and the Secretary in that year as well. In 2002 Council approved installation of air conditioning in the Parish House. Also in that year, Quickel became internet accessible (Quickel@comcast.net).In 2003 and 2004 renovations of the church and parsonage took place. The Social Hall Sunday School rooms were removed, the ceiling lowered, doors were replaced and the floors were refinished. New lighting was installed and all was repainted. Thus it became a Fellowship Hall, Library, Sacristy and handicap bathroom on the first floor. The basement was carpeted and a Nursery Room was installed. A handicap ramp was erected entering the Library and a chair-lift was installed to create easy access between the Sanctuary and the Fellowship Hall. The Parsonage became the Parish House with three large classrooms in the basement. An outside stairway was built to enter the basement. The first floor consists of a game/computer room, a prayer/spiritual room, large conference room, and offices for the Secretary and Pastor. A handicap ramp was installed entering the rear of the house. A new heating system was installed, as well as new lighting throughout the building. New sidewalks were made connecting the Church and the Parish House. A new building was erected across the street from the Parish House for storage of the lawn mowers. Also in 2004, Council approved covering the exterior wood items on the Church and the wood on the bell tower with aluminum at a cost of $12,700.00. The stained glass “Welcome” transoms removed during the renovations in 1975 were sold and later purchased by Howard and Mary Fetrow. They then donated them to the church in 2005 and were once again installed above the doors in the Narthex. In 2009, the church website domain was approved. Quickel Lutheran.com. Also in 2009 Quickel members voted overwhelmingly to hire the firm ofR. R. Kling & Sons to design and install a geothermal heating and cooling system to replace the current aging heating system and, with thoughts for the future, to plan for year round comfort for congregation members with an eye on energy efficiency. This system consists of seven 300 feet deepbores with geothermal loop pipes installed in each well. The earth has a tremendous capacity for storing thermal energy which can be utilized to heator cool a building. The system was completed in 2011 and will offer lower maintenance costs, durability and energy conservation in the future.
The Quickel Picnic Grove, comprising of 29.79 acres, conveyed by John H. Emirch and his wife Ida on May 3, 1955, to the Ministers, Elders and Church Wardens of the German Lutheran and German Reformed Congregations of Quickel Church. On this tract a spacious pavilion with kitchen and facilities, and a large bandstand was erected. A portion of the tract was planted with maple trees. The park was used by the Church, Sunday School and other organizations of the Church for the holding of picnics, Easter Sunrise Services and other social functions. It was also available to outside organizations on a rental basis. In 1996, after discussing the pros and cons of maintaining the Picnic Grove, it was decided that a letter be sent to the Congregation regarding the recommendation from Council to sell the PicnicGrove. In 1997, after approval from the Congregation, Council proceeded with the solicitation of private sealed bids for the sale of the Picnic Grove. Later that year, Council accepted the bid from Laurie Lohss for$165,000. All the proceeds from the Picnic Grove Fund were then transferred to the Building Fund.
Quickel’s Church Cemetery
We have no specific date as to the beginningof the graveyard at Quickel’s, but we would have to assume that it must have had its beginning as early as, or perhaps even prior to, the organization of the church in 1763. Markers indicate burials of persons who died in the late 1700’s. The so-called “New” Cemetery was begun in the early part of 1900, and the first corpse buried on it was an infant. The consecration ceremony was conducted on Ascension Day, 1901. In 1927, a Trust Fund was created to provide for the maintenances of the old graveyards and perpetual care of lots on the “New” Cemetery. The account was funded by donations from friends and families of persons buried on the old graveyards. Perpetual care was provided on the “New” Cemetery by lot owners paying twenty dollars per lot into the Trust Fund. Earnings from the Trust Fund are used for graveyard maintenance and lot care. Until the time of the dissolution of the Lutheran and Reformed relationship, the Cemetery Association was an affiliate of the congregations and subject to their control and supervision. On August 27, 1957, a Deed between The Ministers, Elders and Church Wardens of the German Lutheran and German Reformed Congregations of Quickel’s Church and the Trustees of the Cemetery Association conveyed to the Cemetery Association certain tracts of land including the present graveyards and cemetery and land set aside for burials purposes. On February 17, 1958, Application for Charter of Quickel’s Church Cemetery was approved by the Court of Common Pleas of York County. The Cemetery Association was incorporated as Quickel’s Church Cemetery, and now operates as an independent entity. The Corporation is to be under the management and control of nine directors and a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. On February, 24, 1958 a new (correcting) deed was issued by Quickel Evangelical Lutheran Church to Quickel’s Church Cemetery. After receiving enough donations, a stonemarker at the entrance from Copenhaffer Road was erected by Richard Jacoby, a member of the church, in 1952.
Johann Michael Quickel a Brief History
Born July 20, 1721 in Germany, Michael was the youngest of three brothers. He and his brothers Johann Phillip and Johann George, arrived in Philadelphia in 1736 on the ship Brigantine John. They first settled in Lancaster County where Michael married and remained until 1763, at which time he purchased land in what is now Conewago Township. He was a father, farmer, teacher and soldier. It is said by family that he often taught young people to read and understand the Bible and in 1770 he and his wife Barbara sold 2 acres and 47 perches of land to a group of trustees for the purpose of building a church. For this land the trustees agreed to pay a modest price of 40 shillings which at that time was about the price of a good saddle. Michael also requested that his wife Barbara “shall peacefully during her life have and enjoy one seat or pew in the church built on this land”. Later in 1776, as a Captain, Michael led a group of volunteer infantry to Philadelphia to assist in the Revolutionary War effort as documented by a record book kept by Captain Quickel and a Muster Roll that is now in the care of the York Heritage Trust. Johann Michel Quickel died on December 18, 1787 and is buried in the old cemetery across Canal Road from the present church. His tombstone was carved by his son, John. The inscription is done in German and when translated, it reads “Here rests Michael Quickel. He was born in the year 1721, July, 20, and died in the year 1787, December 18, at the age of 66 years, four months three weeks and two days”.

The charge under Dr. Stump included four congregations-Quickel, Wolf ’s, Paradise, and Mt. Zion.

The Artful Lodger Inn in Historic Newport Rhode Island was built circa 1850 one block from the Harbor, located in the Mansion District. It has been operating since 1992 after being meticulously restored by owners, Rory and Ric Ranucci. The Inn has ample off street parking and a Full breakfast is served in our Conservatory with stunning views of the Newport Harbor.
The year 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of The Artful Lodger Inn and corresponded to the 205th anniversary of our “literary patron saint” Charles Dickens. The original owners (now semi-retired) Ric and Rory Ranucci, both performing musicians, acquired the Inn in 1992, they embarked upon the project that continues to this day.


The Real Junk Food Project Sheffield in conjunction with the Regather Co-op invite you to the enjoy Little Sheffield Feast on Tuesday 29th September 2015. A date and event steeped in history…
A few months since on frolic bent,
On a journey to Little Sheffield Feast I went,
And being as all of you know quite green,
I was mortally pleased with the sigts I’d seen:
There was Betty and Jenny and Factory Nan,
And twenty more girls and they each had a man,
And Sally and Sukey, and Bandy-leg’d Jack,
And the chap that sold pies with his can on his back,
There were donkeys and dog-carts, and lots of fine folks,
With their jaws all a cracking their nuts and their jokes,
As hungry as hunters from biggest to least,
All right for a blow out at Little Sheffield Feast.
Where is Little Sheffield?
In recent times the phrase Little Sheffield has generally meant either the closely-knit community of small cutlers and manufacturers of cutlery auxiliaries in the streets between The Moor and Button Lane, or the streets of little houses around Brunswick Chapel and St. Mary’s Church. To the latter neighbourhood belonged Little Sheffield Feast.
What was Little Sheffield Feast?
To the nineteenth century Sheffielder a “feast” was a fair. The fair of Sheffield dates back at least to 1296; we only know of Little Sheffield Feast from the time when The Moor was completely built up, and to the new and crowded population of the area, Sheffield Fair was quite a long way away.
The Feast was always held on the nearest Monday to 29th September – clearly it was a Michaelmas Fair – and had the annual fairground attractions of booths and stalls of goods for sale, side shows, swings and so on; but its own particular attractions were climbing a greasy pole for a leg of mutton and donkey races from the Hermitage to the top of Bramall Lane. Even in those days the buildings were not entirely close-packed and there was space for the donkeys to run off the main road.
The centre of serious drinking, and of the prize giving ceremonies, was the Woodman Inn on the Moor. The Feast was patronised by all the outlers of the neighbourhood and their families and the children from St. Mary’s National School, and was an occasion of much comparatively innocent jollity and a great spending spree – a cheerful and welcome break in the long monotony of the working year.
Why did Little Sheffield Feast take place?
29 September of course is Michaelmas, one of the four “quarter days” in a year (Lady Day, Midsummer, Michaelmas and Christmas.) These were the four dates on which servants were hired, rents due or leases begun. It was the date that harvest was meant to be completed, and when new servants were hired or land was exchanged and debts were paid.This is how it came to be for Michaelmas to be the time for electing magistrates and also the beginning of legal and university terms.
Hiring fairs can be traced to the fourteenth century with the passing of the Statute of Labourers in 1351 by Edward III and were a way of regulating scarce labour after the impact of the Black Death. Many agricultural communities had them and the feast at Little Sheffield is likely to have grown out of a type of hiring fair when jobs were allocated within the community for working the Little Sheffield field system. (Note that Crookes also has a fair – also probably connected to its medieval open field system).

1.5 The Expansion of the British Rule between 1757 C.E.and 1857 C.E.
By this time, the East India Company was in a race to earn more and more money. As
per the order passed in Bengal, only the Company availed the benefit of tax free
trading; however many officers who were engaged in private trade did not pay the
taxes as well. As a result, the income generated from the tax collection in Bengal
reduced which in turn was opposed by the Nawab of Bengal, Murshid Quli Khan. This
dispute kept on recurring even during the time of Ali Verdi Khan. After Ali Verdi Khan,
his son Siraj-ud-Daulah took charge. He got involved into a major battle with the British. Battle of Plassey Siraj-ud-Daulah became Nawab of Bengal in the year 1756.He had an overwhelming influence over the British. The British helped the competitors of Siraj-ud-Daulah by conspiring against him so that he would not remain on the throne of Bengal. There were frequent conflicts with the British merchants regarding payment of taxes. When the British merchants failed to pay taxes, which were applicable to both Indian and foreign merchants, the situation came to a boil. He ordered that the British should not fortify the factory, pay the taxes as per the rules and trade as per the terms and conditions. This provocation was enough for Siraj to opt for war, and he succeeded in expelling the 1.6 Siraj-Ud-Daulah British from Calcutta. The British counter-attacked under the leader Robert Clive. Clive bribed Mir Jafar, the commander in chief of Siraj-ud-Daulah, with a promise to confer the throne of Bengal to him and convinced him to join their side. With his help, Robert Clive defeated and murdered Siraj-ud-Daulah in the Battle of Plassey. This was the first war fought by the Company in India which marked the beginning of the British rule in India.
Thus,this war is considered to be a turning point in the history of India.


Sutton Curling Club officially began in 1943 with the first curling in
the Sutton Arena. The Original Curling Club was built in 1950 with 3 sheets of
ice and a small club house.
Some important milestones and events:
In 1970 our club house was enlarged, providing an upstairs lounge and a kitchen.
In 1983 the building was rebuilt and a fourth sheet of ice was added.
In 1995 the lounge area was completely renovated and a bar and kitchen were added.
In 2005 the ice making plant was completely replaced and a state of the art dehumidifier was added with the help of The Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Today we have a strong membership and host a number of very successful bonspiels as well as our regular league curling during our October to April season.

"Beagle Lovers, you are invited to attend a meeting at the Canine Centre, Gosnells on Wednesday 29th May 1985 at 8pm. It is hoped that this will be the inaugural meeting of the Western Australian Beagle Club. Enquiries to Mrs M Watson Tel 296 4846"
So read the notice in The West Australian and The Sunday Times for about a month prior. There were 34 people present and a full report can be found in our records, however suffice to say that the W.A. Beagle Club was whelped!
From that General meeting our first Committee was formed and it is important that they be recorded as they had a very difficult road to tread - not all Beaglers or Breeders at that time were in favour of a Club being formed.
First President: Mrs Marion Watson Vice President: Mrs Michelle Roberts Secretary/Treasurer: Mrs Sue Courtland Committee: Mrs Heather Jeffrey, Mr Barry Courtland, Mrs Anita Browne, Mr Clive Bailey.
A second General Meeting was called for 19th June 1985, when 22 W.A. Beagle Club members attended and formally accepted the Committee and also discussed and adopted Club Constitution and Rules.
Our First Edition W.A. Beagle Club Newsletter went out in June 1985, followed in September by No 2. - what a thrill!
This first Committee was equally as enthusiastic as the present one, organising Xmas Street Parades, Fun matches, Grooming sessions and Members Competitions as well as a Point Score Competition for Top Dog and Bitch, also Fund Raising Quiz Nights and other events which are on record. It is interesting to note that the Competition for Top Dog and Top Bitch point score was open to ALL Beagles registered in Western Australia. In June 1986 the position of Secretary/Treasurer was divided and Mrs Daphne Bailey took over as Secretary, a position she held for 5 years. Daphne and her husband Clive were staunch supporters of the W.A. Beagle Club, (note that Clive was on that first committee) helping setting up Displays at the Perth Royal Show. Clive served as President (1990-1991) as well as Huntmaster until the end of 1992. It was Daphne who first got the letter dated 13th June 1988, that announced we were affiliated with The Canine Association of WA effective from 13th August 1988. It was also Daphne who pushed us, for our own protection, to become an Incorporated Body and the Certificate of Incorporation No. A824140 is dated 14th March 1989. A copy of which appears in Newsletter Number 18, in May 1989.
We held three Members Comps before we were finally granted permission to hold Our Premier Open Parade in May 1989 - 4 years after that first meeting!! This was a Landmark!! It had been a rocky road but with the staunch support of dedicated members and supporters that First Show was held with Mrs Mavis Cochrane officiating. Interesting to note that Mrs Cochrane is still one of our staunchest supporters, being Club Patron, and along with her late husband Ron donated one of our First Perpetual Trophies, purchased at The Beagle Club Centenary Show in UK. This was held in 1990, it was also a great thrill for me to represent Western Australia on the Top Table at the Centenary Dinner held at Stowe at the conclusion of this prestigious Show. That first show in May 1989 drew an entry of 34 Beagles and Best in Show went to Sligrachan Fionna with Runner up going to Sligrachan Skean Dhu.
It was in 1988 that the committee ruled that membership of the WA Beagle Club should have some Privileges not available to non-members i.e. As from 1st January 1989 Point Scores for the Top Dog and Top Bitch were awarded to MEMBERS ONLY. The Decision was also made at this time that Perpetual Trophies would only be available to Club Members. This was later clarified to read, "Only Club Members could compete for Perpetual Trophies"
It was also in 1989 that we adopted our Official Letterhead
& Logo and had some badges made. The Beagle chosen was Ch Sligrachan
Drumfearn. "Drum" had won the 1988 point Score, at a time when ALL
Beagles were eligible and he went on to win again in 1989, and also in 1990.
This logo first appeared in the Catalogue of our Premier Open Parade in 1989
along with the Aims of the W.A. Beagle Club :
Over the years there have been many members on Committee who have worked tirelessly and contributed greatly to the growth of the W.A. Beagle Club. Margaret Sale was Treasurer for three years (1988-1991). Steve Guest first joined committee in 1989, finally retiring as President in 1998, due to work commitments Rochelle Gordon first served on committee 1988 and has served intermittently since then, and is still actively involved. Our Social Co-ordinator Rebecca Preston has been organising Beach Walks and other events since1995, not even the birth of baby daughter Georgina in 2001 slowed her up. Carol Herbert took over as President in 1998, having first joined us in 1991. Teri Planken, who joined us in 1998 and is now so involved in Training our Beagles, has completed the Canine Association's "Canine Good Companions" Training course and is now our qualified Instructor as well as Newsletter Editor. Joe Watson, who has served as President for some years and Heather Jones, both of whom have been there since the beginning. Heather has also served as Treasurer and Vice President. Campbell Watson who filled in as Treasurer when Margaret Sale finally left us. Heather Jeffrey was responsible for getting us into Parkerville for our walks. Heather still works at Parkerville. Erika Wallington, Jan Green, Richard Fletcher, Dianne MacDonald, Wayne Brown are just some of the names that come to mind. I'm sure that there are others - Isobelle Drudi who used to make lovely cakes for our regular Cake Stalls! The list of helpers goes on. The generous help of our Club Patrons - tireless helpers. Thank you ALL.
Marion Watson was thrilled to have Life Membership bestowed on her in 1991. Marion has served on committee continuously, first as President, then Secretary, then Treasurer, and then combining both positions in 1997/98.
I have not listed the current Committee members, this is no slight to them, and they are very dedicated and working for the betterment of our beloved Breed, encouraging responsible Beagle ownership. They are listed elsewhere and I know that with such dedication the W.A. Beagle Club can only grow and expand well into the 21st Century.
This is intended as a brief History of the Club. We have put out 68 Newsletters since 1985. We have held 13 Championship Shows to date (2002). We have held 14 Open Shows. There have been numerous Beach Walks and walks at Parkerville as well as many social functions - both with and without the dogs!!
There has been a lot of nostalgia for me personally compiling this History, but I think that we owe a really big debt to the person responsible for prodding me to do it: LUKE PLANKEN. Luke is Teri's son; he does not show a Beagle but lives with two of them, Mesha and Cutie. Luke's expertise with modern technology has not only been of great assistance to me personally - but has moved the W.A. BEAGLE CLUB (Inc) into the realms of Cyber Space.
move has come at a cost to the Club however, and with mounting costs
for Domain Registration and hosting along with Webpage design and
updating it was felt by the committee in early 2005 that we look around
for a less expensive method of promotion.
In February 2005 the Links with Luke and Eagle Star Enterprises
were terminated and an appeal went out in our Newsletter for some help
and/or expertise in organising our webpage.
brought an immediate response from one of our non-showing members , Dennis
Dennis is responsible for what you are looking at now on this
has re-designed our Webpage at NO COST TO THE CLUB!!
How wonderful is that??
He has also offered to help us reduce the cost of hosting in the
GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Dennis. Please,
let him know what you feel about our page, Do you like it? Let him know,
there is nothing worse than spending hours on something and then
spending the next few months wondering if anyone appreciates it, or has
even seen it. Take
the time to sign the guest book

The town of Wa is the regional capitol of the Upper West Region. Baptist Mid-Missions entered this community in the early 1950’s. We were the first group to formally reached out to the Waalii people with the gospel in this area.
With around sixty years of history of the gospel being in this area , there is a developed church and pastor’s fellowship. Yet, many villages need to be reached in this area. New missionaries would be working with the national pastors in new outreach efforts.


On Friday 24 April Springston School had a very special celebration to mark Anzac Day. On this day we had a visitor from our local community - Mr Norton who came to help us with our Anzac Assembly.
Groups of students had been busy during the week putting together our field of remembrance and this also where our kapa haka performed Tiro Tiro and Hareruia. We also laid a wreath to the fallen soldiers.

Micki King, is the 1972 Springboard Diving Olympic Gold Medalist. King, a retired US Air Force Colonel, served 26 years on active duty. Her second career was Assistant Athletic at the University of Kentucky where she served 14 years.
The native of Pontiac, Michigan, graduated from the University of Michigan in 1966, where she was coached by five-time US Olympic Coach, Dick Kimball. King competed in two Olympic Games, two Pan American Games, and won international diving titles in 15 countries. She is an inductee in seven Hall of Fames, including the prestigious United States Olympic Hall of Fame.
The gold medal she won in Munich is one of the Olympic Games’ most exciting comeback stories. In the 1968 Olympics at Mexico City, King was leading the competition going into the final three dives. On the second of her remaining dives, a miscalculation caused King to hit the board breaking her left arm. Despite the mishap she gallantly tried her last dive, but dropped from first to fourth. No medal.
During the four long years between the 1968 and 1972 Olympic Games, she did double duty with her Air Force job and her intensive training program. She earned 10 national US diving titles on the way to her second Olympics. It was in Munich, where Micki King captured her gold medal doing the same dive she did with a broken arm four years earlier.
Following her Olympic victory, King turned to coaching when she was assigned to the then all-male Air Force Academy (1973-77). In 1974, her cadet diver won the NCAA Three Meter title making King the first woman to coach a male to a NCAA championship (in any sport) – a distinction she still holds today. King returned to the Academy in 1983, to become the Assistant Athletics Director, while once again coaching. She was named NCAA coach of the year three times and coached 11 All-Americans, including two women cadets with three national titles between them.
While training for the Munich Games in the early 70’s, King actively supported Title IX which became Law in 1972. Once retired from competition, she turned her focus to Athlete Rights and was elected by her Olympic peers to serve as the first Athletes Advisory Council (AAC) president (1973-78). King also served on President Gerald Ford’s “Commission to Study Olympic Sports.” The findings from this historic commission led to the passage of the Amateur Sports Act of 1978.
In addition to her hands on work with the Girl Scouts Regional Council in Kentucky, King is dedicated to the US Olympians/Paralympians project, World Fit, taking action against Child Obesity. She also serves on the USA Diving Foundation. King has two grown children. She resides in Lexington, Kentucky.

History reveals that for the longest time, baths and toilets were reserved for the rich. But now, it would be absurd if homes in Columbus, IN didn’t have running water and other plumbing fixtures. We often take clean restroom facilities for granted, so it’s worth learning about all the trial and error that went into creating what we have today. Take a quick look at some of the inventions that paved the way for modern plumbing.
The world’s first water pipes
The earliest signs of plumbing date back to roughly 3500 B.C. in what’s known today as Pakistan and India. Mohenjo-daro was a town that drew their water source from wells and emptied waste into drains that lined the streets. Contrary to drainage systems invented centuries later, every single house in Mohenjo-daro had access to these water wells. They were constructed with masonry and don’t look too different from what you might see today.
Roman Empire drainage system
Modern plumbing wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for the drainage systems of ancient Rome. The faucets, toilets and showers in your Columbus, IN home aren’t a far cry from the aqueducts that transported billions of liters of water into wealthy Roman households. Water from the countryside was stored in holding tanks until it was ready for use. Much like what we see nowadays, pipes connected these holding tanks to restroom facilities for instant access to fresh water.
Why toilets are called “the john”
You’ve probably wondered why people say they’re going to use “the john.” The answer is pretty straightforward—all the way back in 1596, a guy named Sir John Harington created the first flushing toilet—and it never would’ve happened if Queen Elizabeth I hadn’t banished him from the palace. Left to his own devices, Sir John built his very own home from the ground up, complete with a toilet design impressive enough to regain the queen’s approval.
A failed design for showers
Technically, the very first shower involved slaves dumping cold water on the heads of royalty around 710 B.C. Fast forward a couple thousand years through history to the English Regency shower patented by William Feetham. In 1767, he created a water tank that would dump water on a person’s head. The water collected in a basin, then a hand pump painstakingly carried the cold, soiled water back into the tank so you could repeat the process. The design wasn’t popular because it proved less efficient than asking someone to dowse you in water.
Public health breakthroughs
The plumbing systems currently in place aren’t due solely to technological advancements. Throughout history, people died from bacteria-related illnesses because no one realized bathrooms were a personal hygiene disaster. Entire civilizations felt the impact of lead poisoning and cholera before England in 1848 finally published the National Public Health Act. It served as a launch point for additional health codes all over the world and forever revolutionized hygiene.
Plumbing has come a long way and continuously changes as discoveries lead to better restroom facilities. Despite all these major breakthroughs, the pipes in our homes still have a tendency to break down. Contact the professionals at Barr Plumbing Service, Inc. in Columbus, IN to get your bathroom back up and running like normal.


Merriam-Webster dictionary defines sacrifice as the “destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else” and further defines as “something given up or lost”. Every November, I, along with most Americans, take the time to say thank you to those veterans that have served or currently serve our great nation in the enduring battle for our freedom. It’s kind of fitting that Veterans Day also falls in the same month as Thanksgiving. You would think it was planned that way. This, however, was not the case. For those that do not know the history of Veterans Day I’d like to offer some historic insight.
November 11th was originally known as Armistice Day. This date marked the unofficial end to The Great War, now known as World War I, in 1918. An armistice was signed between Germany and the Allied nations that went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. November 11, 1918, was generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” Unfortunately, this unusually absurd war which was the first war to mix modern technology and pre-modern war tactics failed to end all wars. Instead, the Treaty of Versailles, the official end to World War I, arguably was the driving force behind the next almost globally encompassing war known as World War II.
Armistice Day was first celebrated in 1919 in America when President Wilson proclaimed, “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”. In 1926, the United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:
Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and
Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and
Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.
In 1938, November 11th was made a legal holiday to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

If ever you wanted to attempt to understand human folly do some research on World War I. I first read about World War I when I was in fourth grade. This led to my fascination of war history and respect for not only our American soldiers but for all soldiers. I read a book about World War I that focused on the Battle of Verdun. The Battle of Verdun was one of the deadliest and longest battles in all of war history with approximately 306,000 deaths and 500,000 wounded over the ten month long battle. What drew me in more than anything about World War I was the courage and bravery of the soldiers on both sides to go “over the top”, which meant to climb out of their trench and assault the opposing side after a hellacious run across what was known as “no man’s land”, over and over again knowing they most likely would be mowed down by an opposing machine gun or blown apart by artillery. It eventually took the Americans getting involved to show how idiotic trench warfare was and to advance through cover while assaulting the enemy instead of lining up on each side and shooting at each other for years with little to no movement in the front lines. To this day I still can’t fully grasp what makes a soldier advance under enemy fire.
Every Veterans Day I try to personally thank all of my family and friends that have served or currently serve. I wish I could do more to thank all veterans and I will continue to live my life the best I can to honor all veterans. So to all veterans, I thank you. From the bottom of my heart and from all I can ever aspire to be, thank you. Thank you for your service. Thank you for sacrificing your time with your family and friends. Thank you for having the courage to advance under enemy fire. Thank you to your families who bear the burden of not knowing if you will ever come home. Thank you for sacrificing your innocence. Thank you for believing in our great country. Thank you for putting yourself in harm’s way so my children can live free. Thank you especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. If there is ever anything I can do for any of you, just ask.
Keep Movin’ friends…it’s the only way to get where you’re going!
