Of course, Sitting Bull wore these moccasins.

Any postcards of Myrtle Street?

The WOKE morons took away part of Rochester's history by removing the cannons. Shame on you!

Well I'm sure back then any person driving a car would have to be situationally aware because there were no such things as traffic lights probably didn't have any stop signs I don't know. Also the horn you used from your video was from a modern diesel locomotive The horns on steam locomotives back then were powered by steam and had a distinct different sound to them kind of hard to explain since really no one can relate to that sound today unless you go on UA-cam and listen to some old steam locomotive still operating for excursions. Steam horns were all over the place back then from steam shovels to horns used to get the workforce back to the factory and even used on some steam cars so it was a relatively common sound that maybe he heard and didn't think a train was coming.

Well, to be fair it was early technology, but getting blasted by a train takes a special kind of unawareness that luckily not many possess

Train crossings in 1911 were barely marked. It would have been easy for events like this to occur.

Ummmm..........train horn-pfft

Outside of historic Aurora, IL. authorities finally built about a 12 ft mound of earth over the original roadbed for a mile or so near the old ex-roundhouse because of the high number of fatals.

2:00 “He did not hear the whistle of the oncoming train.” **HORN SOUNDS** But seriously though, this is a real tragedy, but sadly history tends to repeat itself way too often.

Class of 1999

A nice, albeit ultimately sad story. I like trams as we call them here in GB - which we are now rediscovering in several big cities here. As people shifters they were unequalled. Did anyone else notice the 'merry Oldsmobile' at 1.47?

Nice to see those old steamers double heading a freight - and look how they gleamed. A sad story though; level crossings (as we call them in GB) have always been a risky business.

Did you know about Dodge motel?

I don't have Facebook. Sorry

Also grew up in Rochester

Would love to tell you things I also know. I'm 68 . I have no pictures but before my dad passed away. He told me things.

Remember German

I remember auger

Remember the torr house

I remember that church dame house Rochester hill

Love it. I'm 68. Your awesome. Thank you

WHAT? The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) wasn't considered a "STORE" to you folks? I know it was there. My Dad worked there in the 1930's!

Great video Bob, we love your content!

It is pretty convenient that the ambulance was owned and operated by Edgerly, AND the funeral home was also operated by Edgerly. Kind of "one stop shopping"! 😂

Im curious on where the Farmington nh tower was located?

Thank you! Great insight!

RIP Zane Chase

I'm 68 lived in Rochester ALL my life. I love to hear and see All of this. Thank you

Bob, thank you so much for all your efforts, on all of your UA-cam videos. Love these, they are all great!!!

Miles Tupper was my Great Grandfather and his daughter who almost drowned at the picnic that day was my grandmother Nellie Tupper. She told me this story when I was a child, and I paid some attention to it. My Great Grandfather, Miles wrote a poem in 1914 about the collision and it's extremely sad to read. My Great Grandmother was injured there in the crash but lived. This gave me much more information than I had from the poem and the information from her. I would like to someday visit the site.

My unionist ggg grandfather was a slaveowner , as was his father in law ( my gggg grandfather). 6 of his sons joined the Confederate army and he told them that he hoped a yankee bullet stopped everyone of them. My Confederate grandfather was a farmer, owned no slaves, was a father of 3 when he joined up and fought with The Army Of Tennessee from Shiloh to the Battle of Jonesboro, where he was taken prisoner. A majority of what we have been told about that war and that era of history is a lie.

These would be excellent areas to metal detect and find old history! Thanks for sharing, we should do a collaboration video where you do the history of a property and we see what we can dig up! Keep up the great work!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

In NH, it's called 'Rottenchester'

Post Script: I, and other people reading know, that there is a provision in place that states ; the City is not required to maintain cemeteries. Is there a private group that helps maintain cemeteries around our area? Thank you, I would like to help the group.

What about all the other Cemetery places in Gonic that are not maintained? The cemetery on Cemetery Road , on the corner of Gear Road ,plus the cemetery on Hansonville Road that connects to Oak Street are neglected. These resting grounds could use some care. Thank you for your valuable video on the Gonic Cemetery.

Makes me so sad to see all the neglet there. It does look like it could be a sweet cemetary if not for the neglet.

I am surpised that the cemetery is not mowed. that is sad. I looks like it could be a very pretty cemtery with those trees.

I enjoyed this but was dismayed with the picture of car 679 on the transfer table inside a car barn. Nice photo, but by omission it appears you attribute this streetcar to Rochester. It is actually in Washington DC.

Plunkerville, N.H. is only a hop and skip down the lain.

Do you have any shots of Joe and Wallys Tulsa station? It was across the street from the Bowlaway and is now the Monster gas.

These videos are wonderful!

Thank you so much for another interesting and informative video. I'm a 'newcomer' to Rochester. ( Only lived her 50 years). I love seeing and hearing about the past history.

Great video. Lots of fun times hanging out waiting for a haircut at Heberts in the late 80s / early 90s. No phones then, but we somehow always knew how to run into friends.

Breathtaking pics, Bob... great video! I remember seeing Fritz's piece on Chronicle a while back about these monuments... Goffstown comes to mind making a rather nice presentation of theirs!! 🇺🇲🗽🇺🇲🎗️🇺🇲

Awesome video, Bob!! Did I mention there were TWO Medal Of Honor recipients in the Tenth!?! Haha....love all History in general, especially our beloved Granite State! Be well!! BK Zahn, SUVCW, Pvt. Lawrence Cooley, Co. F, 10th NH VOL INF REG 🇺🇲🗽🇺🇲🎗️🇺🇲

Dear Mr. Griffin: would you ever consider doing a video on my (Paternal) Uncle : Pvt. Lawrence Bickford? Born in Rochester, NH and is buried on Avenue 9, Olde Rochester Cemetary New Hampshire. Uncloe Larry was KIA in World War II - Italian Coast. My (Rochester, NH born - Father brought Larry's body home once to NH, once it was released by US Military.
