How Times and Eve Changes Through The Years
Herbert V. Calkins recalls Troy history from 1917 in The Troy Record. The piece notes police junk shop finds at the Third Precinct, a wrecked ladder truck, borrowed equipment, and the arrival of a lighter replacement. It recounts a 1902 coasting accident, 1914 dancing classes, a River Street cloth firm ad, a train accident injuring three railroad workers, and early 1900s Northside Wide Awakes clubs with emblem tattoos. It closes with a World War I era Irving Berlin chorus about reluctance to rise.
