Old Fireman Laid First Brick in Bates House
Charles H. Rihl of 339 Lincoln Street, 87 last December, is the second oldest yet active member of Indianapolis’s Veteran volunteer hand engine firemen’s association. A bricklayer by trade, he laid the first brick on the old Bates house in 1852, and has spent 65 years with fire companies across the country. The association’s recent masquerade ball at Tomlinson Hall raised over $250 for aged and needy firemen, with an Apache war dance as a highlight.
