HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

The buggy wheels are rolling
again. This particular set of bug
gy wheels is wobbly, and threaten
ing to fall apart, and they got that
way from rafting and Gathering
over the street that proceeded what
we now have leading west from the
square in Hagerstown. We have a
street now that the buggy would
have really appreciated, as COM
pared with the "cobblers" that tor
tured the buggies in their day, but
few of the remaining buggies ever
get to see it. Have you, now, ever
seen buggy on West Washington
Street, since the trolley made its
troublesome exit? oh yes, it was
buoy" enough.
But now I'm wondering about an
other traveller, one who | know
travels Wesct Washington Street,
but wonder what he thinks of it.
You know, when we all rode buggies,
a smooth ride was the rare excep-
ton. And SO, when the snow COW
cred the ground, it was with real
glee that the whole family turned
out to ready the wheel-less buggy,
the one on long smooth runners, and
what fun was had by all, as the
sleigh went gliding noiselessly and
lightly over the snow. We, today,
have lost the opportunity of exper-
fencing this thrill, partly because
we don't have sleighs, nor horses
(what fun is it riding a sleigh be-
hind car, with the exhaust fumes
choking you-the horse was much
more romantic), but the big rea-
son we lost the fun of sleighing lies
in the speed and smoothneSs of the
"horseless carriage"
But to get back to this traveller ]
spoke of, he is little bit old fash
ioned-he won't ride a car (wears
a beard too)-but everybody who
knows him is quite satisfied with
his old fashioned ways, in fact they
are downright glad that he is that
way. You see the spirit of friendli-
ness and the spirit of giving and
helping the other fellow, especially
those who are poor, is an old fash
Toned characteristic, and if this fell
low had ever gone modern" along
these lines, well, it would be just
too bad. Yes, Mr.. Claus - first
name by the way is "Santa"-ac-
tually helps to keep alive in this
modern, greedy age, some of the
fine things that made this country
the place all the world wishes they
could live in
And now, since I've told you our
visitors name, don't you agree that
his is one animal" drawn vehicle
that still travels West Washington
Street? Of course any boy or girl
knows that his sleigh is not drawn
by horses, but then Reindeer are a
little more like the old fashioned
horse" than they are like the kind
that tear down that street most of
of the time.
Well. let's all cooperate this Sat-
urday night, and try to keep the
streets and lanes open, so that good
old Mr.. Claus has no trouble get
ting to everybody's house. You
know, there are many other things
that can keep him away too; the
traditional things, like boys and

girls being bad, but let me say, if we
grown ups are bad, that will keep
Santa much farther away than if the
little fellows are naughty. So, let's
see that ALL the streets and alleys
are cleared of such distractions as
selfshness, and thoughlessness.
Now let's get back to West Wash
ington Street once more. wonder
how many of us realize, as we drive
toward the Square, or walk the
south sidewalk, that somewhere in
the first block we go over an old
historical post" that was an early
figure in Hagerstown. 1t is one of
the only remaining marks of beau
tiful garden, that long ago was To-
Gated in the rear, to the south, of
the first block of West Washington
Street, but the location of the post
is not known today. Originally, it
was one of pair of posts that stood
by gateway, an entrance to the
garden mentioned above. One of
these posts was dug up in 1885, and
was described as a massive" gate
post At that time it was found
fully five feet beneath the surface,
indicating that this section was to
great extent filled in to a higher
level. We can get some impression
about the gate post, and the entire
garden itself, by noting who the
owner and original builder was. It
was none other than the daughter
and son-in-law of the founder of
Hagerstown, General Daniel Hester,
and his wife, the daughter of Jona-
than Hager The General had
fine residence in the first block of
this street and the garden was part
of this establishment, in the rear
of the house General Hester was
| man of fine tastes, a wealthy man,
and liberal in his expenditures when
they were for the creating of such
things as a fine home and the gard
en-. The garden was described as
being filled with the finest flowers.
When we get back to the lives and
acts of these people who started
our city, there are many, many in
teresting things that could and ought
to be told. There are many things
about the life of Jonathan Hager's
children, and their families, that will
be told in later issues of this column.
One thing of interest to me is the
question as to whether the Holsters
built the house on West Washington
Street, or if Jonathan Hager built it?
And what became of the post Of the
garden gate that the construction
crew found in 1885? If such a post
could be found today, surely it
would be preserved as an item of
interest. We are told that General
Holsters name was constantly APP
pearing in the history of those times,
and that he was closely identified
with all public affairs; but we don't
read much about him today.
One thing more must be said about
that other person, the traveller, who
comes every year in his sleigh. Way
back there when Jonathan Hager
and the Holsters lived in this town,
the same visitor that we all look
for, came through, and stopped at all
the homes then too. Here is one
fellow that has seen all the changes
in our town, and the people who liv-
