NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: Twin Witmer brothers led different but distinguished lives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As mentioned in last weekâs article, Town of Niagara pioneer Abraham Witmerâs two youngest sons, Tobias and Elias, were twins. The brothers were born on Oct. 8, 1816, in their fatherâs log house on what is now Witmer Road near Hyde Park Boulevard. Both sons received their primary education at home and later attended the Lewiston Academy in that village. Tobias had the mind of an engineer and as a young man designed many practical inventions including a wheel with spokes made from an old ho
NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: 'Electric' companies occupied Market Street building (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last weekâs column looked at the history of the John Noble Bakery at 69-73 Market Street in Lockport. When that business closed in 1924, the building stood partially vacant for more than a year until Simon Miller moved his Electric Baking & Coffee Co. to that address in 1926. Previously located at 7 Buffalo Street, Miller moved the baking operations to Market Street while retaining a store outlet at the former location. Like John Noble, Simon Miller was an immigrant who came to Lockport to sta
NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: Market Street building was home to several Lockport bakeries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the photo collection at the Niagara History Center, there is a photo of the âElectric Baking & Coffee Companyâ in 1927 at 69-73 Market Street, on the east side of the street between Chestnut and Union.

The company was just one of several bakeries to occupy that building. Before looking at the âElectric Bakery,â letâs examine the businesses that were th
NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: Bristol Fountain a long-time fixture in West Avenue Park (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, this column traced the early history of the Bristol Fountain from its first placement on the bridge near the Judson House to its removal to the City Park (West Avenue was called West Main Street until the early 1890s) in May, 1884. Although no longer at the busy intersection near Main and Cottage Streets, and no longer used as a horse trough, it still saw much activity being right across the street from the Erie Railroad passenger depot (later the International Railway Company station
NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: The Bristol Fountain was originally on 'Big Bridge' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the years, people have inquired about a fountain that was originally located on the âBig Bridgeâ but was later moved to West Avenue Park (now Ida Fritz Park), where it stood until at least 1968. In its nearly 100 years of existence, the fountainâs fortunes rose and fell several times. The story begins in 1872 with Lockport dentist Dr. Lawrence Wade (L.W.) Bristol. Dr. L.W. Bristol was born in Connecticut in 1816, came to Lockport in 1839 and opened a âDental Infirmaryâ on Niagara
