T v.d VY. Goddard Retired After Many Years Of Service With I>itf Four Line

"T was bom on the Big Four right of way,” said Fred V/. Goddard to a Banner man. It is a fact, too. His first home was a small house at Kaneas. 111., which, actually, was located on the right of way. between 20 and 30 feet from the tiacK itself. With that as starter in a connection between him and the Big Four company, Mr. Goddard closed his lifetime of work for that corporation on Saturday, his 85th birthday. That age is the limit, these days, and, in addition to that disqualifying fact, he lias had trouble with vision of his right eye, and is obliged to keep it screened trom the light. For that reason, he is not in shape to work now. However, aside from his eye trouble, he is as capable of work as he has been for years. Mr Goddard nas worked for the Big Four 48 years and 7 months. The reporter, on talking to him, hearing the chronicle of his labors for that one corporation, wondered if any other employe of that railroad company ever put in as many hours in their berviee as has Mr. Goddard. This writer once lived not far from a long section of the track over which Mr. Goddard was section foreman, that section lying between Creencastle and Fern, and when the taiiroad worker told of long hours and seven-day weeks he and his gang worked on that part of the track to keep it in condition for traffic, the writer had a pretty good idea, from his own recollections of it, as to what tne men had to contend with. Before Mr. Goddard was placed in charge of that stretch of road, he had first been on a fencing gang which worked from Indianapolis to St. Louis, while living at Mattoon. 111., had been section foreman of the Happy Hollow stretch of road between Oakalla and the west end of Happy Hollow, and then as a specia’

honor coupled with greatly increased hours of work had been put in charge of a consolidated section which included his old piece of track and also part of the section to the east, forming the seven miles of curves and hillsides just referred to, which the Banner man had known about. ”We worked from 12 to 18 hours a day for 31 days that March,” said' Mr. Goddard, referring to one hectic period of his connection with that bad section. "There were slides corning down on the track every day that month, and on top of it. all one of the Big Four trains plowed through n herd of the Lockridge Shorthorn cattle that was on the right of way, killing 17 of them. We had that mess to clean up, too.” He said he was paid $55 for that months’ work. During the period of construction of the new Big Four, Mr. Goddard was at the Ohio and Indiana quarry, west of Greencastle, where he inspectall of the stone shipped from that place for ballasting the new roadbed. When he and Mrs. Goddard resolved all the stone shipped from that selected the place they live now. which was quite a distance from the Big Four of that day, but the railroad followed them, when they constructed their new line, and whereas the Goddards wanted to get away from the noise of trains and from the tracks, they were again within stone throw of the road. It hasn't worked out so very well for Mr. Goddard because, since then, living so close to the tracks, he has been called out to work extra, night and day, whether he felt like working or not. Retiring from his active employ ment on Saturday, for a time he said he would rest from his labors, but would not be idle very long. He has the habit of working. His home is at the north end of Madison street, beyond the city limit, just south of the Big Four railroad station.

MAYOR KERN NOT VAN NUYS RIVAL INDIANAPOLIS, July 31.—Mayor John W Kern of Indianapolis removed himself today from the list of possible candidates for the seat in the United States Senate now held by Frederick Van Nuys. "The way I feel now, I am not a candidate and will not make a fight for that place on the ticket," the 37-year-old Indianapolis mayor said, but he added the statement that “of course” he would run if drafted. Kern, along! with Samuel Jackson, Fort Wayne attorney, and R.

Kerosene was used in this lamp for illuminating. The lamp proper was surrounded by a frame holding sheet glass. These lamps were mounted on posts which were painted with tar. The kerosene lamps were light ed in the evenings by William Callahan, who drove one horse pulling cart-like vehicle in which the filled lamps were carried and the empty ones were taken back to be refilled. This lamp will become the property of Mrs. Louis Hays, who has other historic lamps in her possession.
