James Thompson and Norman Rice,
assistant directors; Richard Wroe,
chief pipeman; Owen Middlekaufl
and Edward Butler, assistants; and
James B. McCardell, drillmaster.
A writer states that the company
was Woodworking organization
and that it was ''incomprehensible
how they received the name of
Never Sweats."
At the opening of the year ,1842
the fire department of Hagerstown
consisted of two organized COM
panies-the First Hagerstown Hose
Company and the Antietam Fire
Company-along with the Franklin
Fire Company that was composed OF
all voters residing between Wash
ington Street and Bethel Street -
corporate limits on the north-ex-
cept members of the two organized
companies who resided within those
limits.
The members of the franklin
were enrolled by the moderator
(Mayor) and town commissioners
The "Franklins" met regularly in
annual meeting at the Town Hall
later the Masonic Hall, which was
then the old market house. Here
officers were elected. Other meet
ings were held occasionally on Sat
urday afternoons at the Oak Spring
or at "Middlekauff's Pump" corner
Potomac and Franklin Streets, wher
the engine, after being filled by dip
ping water with buckets from the
spring, was put on trial and if founc
satisfactory was returned with great
enthusiasm to the house, that was
located on the lot upon which st
Paul's Methodist Church now stands
The "Franklins" had no hose anc
the pipe was attached to the top Of
the engine. Captain David Artz was
the last president and Jacob Humric
house the last pipeman of the
''Franklins."
Early in 1912, a number of young
men, among whom were James L
Freaner, Cornelius Artz, Peter Ham.
mond, Joseph D. Updegraff, William
Force, William Biershing, Martin
Suter, William c. Williamson, Johr
Boyd, Daniel G. Mumma, William
Marteney and William Householder
met at the tailor shop of Peter Suter
later occupied by John F. Seiss, or
North Potomac Street. At this meet
ing, a committee was instructed t.
ask the moderator and commission
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-10-04

ers to turn over the apparatus of
the Franklin Company to the appli-
cants, who proposed to organize a
company of young men. Much OPP
position to this proposition was
manifest and brought to bear upon
the corporate authorities by some
members of the organized compa-
MES. Through the influence, how
ever, of David Artz, Frederick Hum
/ richouse, Charles c. Lane, John H.
Hoffman and others, the "boys" sue
ceeded. The company was imme-
diately organized, constitution
adopted, and the organization was
named the Independent Junior Fire
Company"
One section of the Constitution
read that no married men should be
allowed to become members of this
company. However, persons getting
married after they were members
were not disqualified The first cleo
ton resulted in the choice of James
L. Freaner as president. In 1881 it
was decided that a new steamer was
needed, as the "Kensington'' steamer
had seen its best days. The Silsby
engine was then purchased.
The present engine house of the
Juniors on North Potomac Street,
was built in 1892. Three years later
they had one steam engine, two hose
carriages, one hose cart and 1900
feet of hose
In 1869, the Junior Fire Company
/ purchased a steam engine and turned
over to the town the large hand en-
CINE known as big Six"
A number of the citizens of the
West End then concluded to organ
ize a fire company. A meeting was
called in the Court House and the
following officers were elected: pres
ident, Lewis Delamarter; first vice
president, Samuel Johnson; second
vice-president, c. w. Randall, Sr.;
secretary, George P. Lambert; treas
urer, William T, Tice; and standing
committee, B. F. Beck, S. T. Seig-
man, r. G. Mamford and Robert
Warner The new company was
named western Enterprise"
A lease was secured on a piece
of ground from Mcdowell and
Baechtel on the site of the Steam En-
/ CINE Works. A frame building was
erected, two stories high, and their
first engine was big Six" turned
over to them by the town. Then the
boys thought to procure a steamer
and a contract was let to Thomas
A. Pete, Philadelphia, for a Smith
engine, formerly belonging to the
New York Fire Department. An
other obstacle came. The ground
upon which the building stood was
needed by the owners. A site was
then secured on the lot of the Amer

severe burns.
The president of the company
(before there was a company of
which to be presidenD superintend-
ed the erection of a 32-foot ladder
in the dome of the Court House at
the time the former hall of justice
was being burned. Henry Bester
went to the top of the ladder and
opened a half-moon window. Will
liam Gould had gotten half way up
with the hose and Mr.. Armstrong
was following and assisting him.
Charles Spangler and John Frid-
niger were down below steadying
the ladder. Look out, the build
ing's falling" cried Mr.. Bester from
the top, and the dome came down,
carrying Mr.. Bester with it. Mr.
Bester received injuries from which
he hung between life and death for
sometime. Fridinger was crushed to
death. John Smith, known as Bull
Run" who later joined the Pioneers,
distinguished himself by valiant eff
forts to extricate Fridinger, and was
severely burned. The officers of the
Pioneers in 1895 were: w. H. Arm
strong; w. P. Lane, vice-president;
w. B. Mobley, secretary; C. A.
Spangler, treasurer; A. J. Zinkand,
chief director; w. c. Hurley, first
assistant; w. o. Diehl, second; and

In my column last week / gave a
history of the First Hagerstown Hose
Company, and now follows some
thing about the other four COM
panies - the Antietams, Juniors,
Western Enterprise and Hook and
lumbar Chemical Fire Company,
Ladder Company-as well as the Co
lumbar Chemical Fire Company,
later organized.
The Antietam Fire Company was
formed upon the ruins of the old
Lafayette Company, which was first
organized in 1903. A new constitu-
ton was deemed necessary in 1884
and a new name was adopted, that
of "Antietam." The equipment con-
sisted of an engine, purchased in
1915, and a new one that they
bought, with the name Lafayette
upon it. The following were the first
officers: president, w. D. Bell; vice
president, William Hollyday; secre-
tary, ]. H. Heyser; treasurer, Jacob
H. Harry; engineer, Daniel Carver;
assistant, William Johnson; engine
inspector, Henry Biershing; and di-
rectors, G. Boestler, George Shy
rock R. Amman and H Biershing.
At that time the company had no
particular home and it was deter
mined to ask the Hagerstown Bank
for permission to locate on the west
side. 1t was resolved that no men,
Der of the company should drink
Intoxicating liquor. A fine of 1912
cents was imposed on absentees
when an alarm of fire was sounded
On May g.. 1885, the company bought
from the county a lot adjacent on
the south to the Court House, paying
$125 for it. A building was then
erected, costing $3.50
A favorite diversion of the old
company, after the conclusion OF
business, was to adjourn to the old
brew house in the rear of the Market
House for refreshments. In 1852
the company turned out in a ire
mendous funeral demonstration al
the time of the death of Henry Clay
At one time Jonathan Late hauled
up BLUE Dick" with a team OF
trusty nags from Frederick, to which
place it had been transported on the
old B & o strap railroad. The of
ficers of the company in that year
were: J. A. Mason, president; r
Mel. Smith and Wyatte M Keedy
vice-presidents; L. D. Syester, secre-
tary; DR.. S. J. Wishard, treasurer
j. H. Middlekauff, chief director

D. M. Hurley, w. K. Hoffman, w. F.
Rouzer, Frank Miller and Frank
Futterer, executive committee.
Now we come to the last, the
Chemical Company, incorporated in
1894 as follows: c. E. Wise, Edgar
c. frey, C. E. Shifler, v. w. Ran
dali, George M. D. Brewer, George
R. Hutson, Charles E. Middlekauff,
Alexander A. Lechlider, T. A. Pof-
fenberger, Amos c. Keener and Ben
jamin F. Newcomer. The engine was
handsome, double, 50-tank affair
and was temporarily in the shed of
E. G. Fiery on Foundry Street. The
officers were: E. c. Fiery, president;
George Hutson, vice-president; N.
E. McClery, secretary; James Shill-
ing, assistant; B. F. Newcomer, treas
urer; Harry NALL, foreman; and c.
D. Spigler, assistant.

lean House property. Then another
removal came along. A lot was Sc
cured on West Franklin Street from
M. M. Gruber. This was two-story
brick.
The officers in 1895 were: presi-
dent, Charles Feldman; vice-presi-
dent, Edward Beck; corresponding
secretary, H. K. Hoch; financial sec
rotary, j. c. Braungard; treasurer,
D. S. Boyer; standing committee, H.

worth, William H. Dunn and William
Hammersla; chief director, Charles
w. Alexander; assistants, Hugh Ma
lone, William Clarkson, John W..
Good, o. w. Clewes and Raleigh
Hoch.
The Pioneer Hook and Ladder
Company was formed in 1872. They
got fine truck, which was quartered
in the Market House. Fifty mem
bers were allowed to belong and w.
H. Armstrong was president. The
company then moved to new quar-
tiers in the Junior Hall. The ladders
of the Pioneers saved the lives of
half a dozen people at the time of
the Washington House fire. Samuel
H. Dorsey, a member of the COM
any, went up a threatened stairway
in the hotel and brought to safety
two ladies, although he sustained
