Roseville

THE GLOBE HOTEL.

This old landmark is now occupied as a residence by the venerable Jacob Clemens, who for 25 years conducted it as a tavern. Mr Clemens is now over seventy years of age and is full of interesting reminiscences of Roseville's early days. Nelson Newcombe and John Detweiler, whose remains were consigned to the clay years ago, were among the first landlords of this tavern. The bar traffic of that day was something enormous and it was not an unusual event to see twenty sturdy countrymen step up to the counter and take their toddy on the expenditure of a quarter by one of the crowd. The gesuine old sourmast then could be purchased for eighteen cents per gallon. Teamsters from Washington, Ayr, Galt, Berlin, Waterloo and other points were frequent patrons of the bar. Alas! modern development has changed all this! Here in the good old days of yore, where friend met friend and hilarity and joviality predominated, is now the quiet and peaceful private abode of the venerable owner and his family.

________________

AN OLD CITIZEN.

A few days ago I met the venerable Edward Bourchier, bailiff. Mr. Bourchier was born in Herefordshire, England, in 1810, and if Providence spares him until next July he will have attained the advanced age of eighty-eight years. Despite the many years he has experienced the ups and downs of this life be is still vigorous in mind and body, and is in a fair way to reach the century mark. In his younger days he was one of the boys and spent money with a lavish hand, and at one time would even condescend to light his pipe or cigar with a five dollar bill. But times have changed since then, and the man is lucky now who has the necessary cash to supply himself even with tobacco Mr. Bourchier well remembers the time when Roseville and the Black Horse were in the zenith of their prosperity, when teamsters by the score and others enroute from all directions would stop at these havens of rest and refreshment, and have their bottles or demijohns refilled, or to indulge in a social drink at the bar. On many occasions they would hold high carnival along the public highway, and frequently a halt would be made to give fistic aspirants an opportunity to settle their differences in a general knock-down and drag out encounter. At that time, more than a half century ago, the Black Horse was a busy little hamlet - a pump factory, shingle mill, wagon and blacksmith shop and other local industries being then in full blast. To-day, not a trace of industrial life remains, and save the little brook hard by and the tall and stately poplar that bends and nods in the breeze, is there anything to refresh the memory of him who was in some way identified with its existence in early days. About twenty-five years ago, during the reign of the notorious Louis Mudge, the Black Horse tavern, from which the neighborhood derived its name, was destroyed by fire. This once noted tavern was erected about sixty years ago by a man named Darrow, and afterwards owned and conducted for many years by the late Nelson Newcombe, father of the writer, where the latter first saw the light of day, forty five years ago.

Waterloo County Chronicle 14 Apr 1898, p. 3

Business:
"Black Horse Inn itself was purchased in 1853 by the owner Nelson Newcombe and his wife Fanny. He and his wife and four children lived at the inn while offering room and board for travellers passing through. A man of local history, William Campbell, once told Harley about the inn. He described the building as two storeys with a large front porch and bedrooms upstairs which could be accessed by a stairway that entered into the centre of a long narrow hall. Records held from 1851 and 1861 show that the tavern was a frame building with "five spare bedrooms and stabling for eight horses". The foundations proves that the inn stood at a size of 70' x 40'.

The inn became a popular stop-over area between Galt and Plattsville and not only did it provide a room to rest but also a bar, dining room and sitting room. It was said that it was at the Black Horse Tavern where a group of notorious highway robbers directed under Lou Mudge worked out of. David Goldie, son of John Goldie founder of Greenfield Village, was advised to bring a gun with him as he traveled down the road past the tavern."
