A century ago Col Hall of Bridgeport pursued investigations into spiritual knockings and lectured publicly on the art. Forty years back Canton planned a park system from McKinley Monument to Navarre road with $8000 set aside to extend and complete the parks. A 20 year old waiter Arthur Holderman returned from Europe with his bear Alice Teddy and won a $100 wager for not needing extra money from Canton. He trained the cinnamon bear to perform various stunts in Oregon. Twenty five years ago Gertrude Ederle began her Channel swim attempt, leaving from Cape Gris Nez. A lightning strike hit Louis Domer’s home at 963 Harrison Ave SW but did not start a fire. Ten years ago Canton extended parking meters across a district including 3rd St S and Walnut SE Cleveland Ave SW toward Cherry Ave, while Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel of Texas became a U.S. senator after appointing himself to the term.
