View This Image ACCESSION: LBHS-2022-A-0006	TITLE CAPTION From LBHS Facebook page: "Watt’s Mill in South Beaver Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1798 and operated continuously until it burned on January, 14, 1916. Frank Steele, who grew up in the area during the early part of the century, recorded the following recollections of Watt’s Mill. "In the winter of 1912, my father and I went to Watt’s Mill with 10 bushels of buckwheat and two bushels of corn to get ground. [We had] to go down to the Little Beaver Creek, which we had to ford. The horses did not want to cross as the water was real deep, about two inches from the bottom of the spring wagon. Tom Watt and his brother Jim operated the mill. They also had a sawmill [although] I never saw it in operation. They would not grind buckwheat when the weather was damp, as the buckwheat would not grind well on a damp day. They did not like to change from grinding buckwheat to corn, as they had to operate the mill [empty] a short time to get it cleaned out. Stone grinding wheels were used, turned by a water wheel laid on its side, called a tub wheel. They left the water wheel operate continuously in real cold weather so it would not freeze. In winter there would be pieces of ice come through the water wheel. It would sound like a lot of glass being broken, [or] a bunch of rocks in the wheel. The door of the mill was higher than the wagons, [so] they had a plank to leave down to the bottom of the wagon. You would fasten a rope around two or three sacks of grain and they would pull the sacks up the plank to the mill floor. The rope was fastened to a revolving shaft operated by the water wheel. The Watts Brothers would take part of the flour as toll. I believe it was one eighth. They would rather have flour than cash, as there was a great demand for the flour. Mr. Jim Watt told us about being to the Klondyke (sic) gold rush in Alaska [and] showed us the gold watch and chain made from the gold he had panned. He smoked a corn cob pipe [and] would reach in one chute where the buckwheat hulls came down from the screen and filled his pipe with hulls and smoked it. It did not smell very good to me. In 1915, Frosty Cook and I would take 15 bushels of buckwheat and two bushels of corn in the sled and we had to leave it because there was so many grists ahead of us. We would go back in a week taking 15 bushels more. That year my father raised 120 bushels [of buckwheat]. He sold the flour in Beaver Falls at the Grand Hotel [and] also at a lot of restaurants. We would have buckwheat cakes every breakfast and mush fried every weekend."

The “Old Shot Factory” features prominently in local ghost tales. “The Dustin mansion . . . was built by him. It is certainly quaint and unconventional enough, and on account of its extreme height for a dwelling-house, was dubbed by the people as the old “shot-tower.” It was also sometimes called the old “silk-mill,” as tradition makes the old physician to have been influenced by the craze for the cultivation of the moms multicaulis, or Chinese mulberry, and the production of silkworms and silk, which aroused so much interest in Beaver County in 1836. The old structure was last used by Mr. George Youtes as a wagon factory, and on April 28, 1898, it suddenly collapsed. Mr. Youtes narrowly escaped death by the fall of the building, as he had been sitting on the front door-step and had only arisen and walked away a moment before the collapse occurred.” (Joseph H.

View Larger Image ACCESSION: LBHS-2022-M-0010	TITLE Wollover Oil Refinery CAPTION Wollover Oil Refinery, Smith's Ferry, Pa. Photo CAPTION "County oil strike of importance occurred March 19, 1862 when the Emeline Oil Co., composed of P. M. Wallover, 1. M. Pennoch, and F. Darlington brought in a well at the lower edge of Glasgow. This well was bottomed at 585 feet and produced oil up through the 1880's. With the completion of each successful well in the Smith's Ferry Field, oil speculation and excitement became more intense. During the period from 1860-1875 it was generally established that the Smith's Ferry oil reserves could be found 700-730 feet below feet below the Kittanning Coal or approximately 600 feet below the bed of the Ohio River. Although many wells were drilled in this area, none ever exceeded twenty five barrels per day until a fifty barrel well was completed in March of 1877 near Ohioville. One of the most shallow and short-lived wells drilled at Smith's Ferry was the "Good Intent" which was completed in February of 1891 by the Excelsior Co. It was completed at a depth of only 72 feet and the total production of this well was a mere 400 barrels before it was abandoned."

After the trains stopped the crane was removed and the chute was added and coal mined at strip mines locally was dumped by dump trucks down the chute into barges to be shipped on the Ohio River."

Mansfield was a Darlington area industrialist, naturalist, and coal miner in the Cannelton area (Darlington Township, Pa). Local historian Michael Kishbucher: "This photo, dated 1908, is called "The Last Outing." It includes two of the three original Robin Hood Club founding members, Ira F. Mansfield and Henry K. Morse (a relative). The third man's name is Donnelly. Ira wrote that in the following spring Morse and Donnelly "were called to another world," leaving Ira and Cecil Hines as the remaining members of the men's version of the club. Ira transformed the group into a women's organization, promoting natural science and especially the women's suffrage movement. The first iteration of the Robin Hood club lasted from October 1865 (a few months after Ira returned from the War) to the spring of 1909. The Second Robin Hood club likely ended in June 1919, probably due to the passing of its benefactor. Ira's obituary says that he died in June 1919 following a brief illness. There is no mention of what disease he succumb to, but he died during the great Spanish Flu pandemic. The US ratified the 19th Amendment the following year.

We have access to a private company who will be monitoring our air, starting today. We are thankful to everyone who has stepped up to help us during this unforeseen crisis. Please continue to follow our social media daily for updates on needs. In the meantime, we are asking for donations as we are seeking to purchase additional property for our animals and more equipment for crises such as this. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Potter Township Fire Department who were on site to help us evacuate yesterday, and Hookstown Fire Department who were so kind and helpful at the fairgrounds during the chaos last night! Coincidentally, it was only 2 days ago that Potter FD and Beaver County Emergency Services were on site to discuss re-instating the much needed county Certified Animal Response Team, which will be a vital resource for Beaver County's farm animals in crises such as this one, fires, large humane cases, etc. Thank you, all, for your concern and support.

View Larger Image ACCESSION: LBHS-2022-R-0009	TITLE CAPTION From the Darlington Polo Club: Founded in 1937, the Darlington Polo Club is America's oldest "under the lights" polo team. The Club began playing in the summer of 1937 when Cliff Braden and other interested fans retrieved a ball from under a car at a game in Zelienople, Pa. They began playing the sport in Darlington Borough in a very primitive fashion. Their mounts were plow horses. Their mallets were hand made, they wore coal hard hats for helmets, and used gasoline cans for goal posts. They lit the field with a series of floodlights hung from the surrounding trees to play at night so that polo wouldn't cut into their work day. Darlington Polo has a home field unlike any other in the world. For over 70 years we've played under the lights and keeping with the tradition of our club's founders there has never been a game on Sunday at the Darlington field. Our season runs through the end of August at which point we give way to another tradition, Western Pa High School Football.

Construction began at the site on June 2, 1892, several years before many of Pennsylvania's other Ohio River dams were started. By late 1903, construction was virtually complete; only the lock gates remained to be placed, as well as the necessary buildings that were yet unfinished. Within a year, the gates had been added and the buildings completed. Operations began on August 3, 1904; the entire project had cost $1,123,441.80. The complex was named for William Emery Merrill, an officer of the United States Army Corps of Engineers who had been responsible for the earliest successful Ohio River dam in Pennsylvania.
