King Street , North Side

Union Street to Pine Street.-A narrow, two story brick building occupied by Christian Heinrich, a labourer. The gable was toward King Street.

A one and one-half story frame building moved from Waterloo and erected opposite Mt. Hope Street, used as a dwelling. This house is still standing. Back of King Street on the north side there was a pine forest which was gradually lumbered off. The stumps were raised by men who made an occupation of doing this. They had a heavy timber tripod frame with a long screw working through a head mounted on the peak of the tripod. The screw was raised by means of a suitable heavy nut which had a lever arm, extending outward and downward, to which horses were hitched and moved in circular path around the tripod, thus turning the nut and gradually raising the screw. The bottom of the screw had a crosshead from which hung chains which were fastened round the roots of the great pine stumps, and thus gradually pulled the whole stump out of the ground.

At the corner of Pine Street a small frame building occupied by Mr. Hoffman, wood turner, who mostly made small household utensils.

Notes:

Louis Hedderich was one of our well known citizens, and a public man in his way, for he ran the village sprinkling wagon for many years. This tankwagon, usually a bright blue in color, was his own manufacture, and had a number of ingenious contrivances to add to its usefulness or otherwise. A huge umbrella shaded his wagon seat on hot summer days, and he had an arrangement by which a whistle chirped merrily, musically and constantly when the sprinkler was sprinkling. He secured his water supply from the mineral spring where some enterprising villagers one time bored for oil or salt and secured a wonderful flow of mineral water. A bellows attached to the wagon was used to blow a horn that called the village clerks from the shops with their pails and pitchers, to get a supply of drinking water. The same horn was used to call out the bartender, when he operated it at one of the hotels, and the dispenser of drinks, recognizing the signal, came out with a schooner of beer and emptied it into a mug which Mr. Hedderich carried, and this saved an extra trip for him. The sprinkling was paid for by subscription, each business man along the business part of King Street, contributing a certain amount each year. Mr. Hedderich did his collecting in the beginning of the year, and made his call an annual social visit as well.

He was a gun and locksmith, and an expert in repairing clocks and other articles of household use. His workshop on North King Street was an interesting bit of architecture, owing to the fact that Mr. Hedderich used a church in his native village in Germany as a model when he built it, and it had all the appearance of a small church, with tower clock that struck the hours, steeple and all.

His wife was a very useful citizen as well, and was widely known and in great demand as an experienced nurse and midwife. I believe it was her proud boast that she officiated at something like two thousand stork parties during her busy life here. Mr. and Mrs. Hedderich were in Waterloo in the early 50's, or possibly sooner, and resided here for many years until their passing at advanced ages.
