Greeley, Horace - 1897

Strawberries.
------
BY S. D. COONROD, OF HAMLIN.
My first experience with strawberries dates from the setting I got from Horace Greeley in 1852 and were of three kinds, as follows: The Wilson, the Monitor and the Julunda, or Knox's 700.  I gave them equal care and the Wilson gave good crops all the time; the Monitor soon dropped out and gave but little fruit and the Julunda did a little better but was not as good a grower and had not as good crops as the Wilson.  I have tried all kinds but think the Wilson the best for all practical purposes.

The Crescent is a good berry and has to be fertilized to get a crop and then you lose their identity.  The Cotton Jack is a good grower but don't do as well as the Wilson with me.  The Monarch of the West is a good grower but are usually barren with me.  The Cotton Shaker is a good grower and a very large berry and has a large core as all berries have that I know of, and so it is with all the best varities. <sic>  In some way they all fall short of the Wilson with me.

As to quality the Julunda is the best in quality and is fair in size and light red in color.  But for me the Wilson is the best for all purposes.  As to mode of cultivation: Little ground should be used and well worked before the plants are set out.  Then set them eighteen or twenty-four inches apart in rows and keep them free of grass and weeds and they will soon be thick enough.  When they get too thick hoe out every other row and then let the runners re-set strip again.

In the fall when it has frozen a little give a covering of slough or prairie hay to keep them from winter-killing.  Not straw, it will bring mice in the bed and they will do harm.

Shontz, Mary Ann [Hassenplug] : 1860-1885

L. L. Lambert, of the City Real Estate and Insurance Company, 306 Swank Building, Johnstown, is a native of Pennsylvania.  He was born in Somerset County, Nov. 7, 1871, and is a son of Josiah O. and Martha E. (Berkebile) Lambert.

Josiah O. Lambert was born in Somerset County, Pa., July 27, 1842, and during his active career was a farmer.  He was a veteran of the Civil war and was a member of Company G, Twenty-First Regiment, Pennsylvania Cavalry, and served throughout the entire war.  He died Jan. 31, 1875, and is buried in Somerset County.  Mrs. Lambert resides in Buckeye, Texas.

L. L. Lambert received his early education in the public schools of somerset county and the Illinois State Normal School.  He then entered the employ of the Cambria Iron Company of Johnstown as a machinist, where he remained for some years.  Later he was senior member of the Johnstown Real Estate Company, with  Walter C. Swank as a partner.  He was afterward connected with H. C. Cook in the real estate business for three years, during which time Oakhurst Boro, then a suburb, but now part of Johnstown, was promoted.  Mr. Lambert then organized his own company, the City Real Estate and Insurance Company.

Among the many insurance companies Mr. Lambert represents are the following: Hibernian of the Home Insurance Company of New York, U. S. Fire Insurance Company of New York, Westchester Fire Insurance Company, Security Insurance Company of New Haven, Conn., and the Preferred Accident and Automobile Insurance Company of New York.

On July 11, 1900, Mr. Lambert was united in marriage with Miss Emma Goebert of Johnstown, Pa.,
a daughter of Christian and Elizabeth Goebert, natives of Germany, who emigrated to the United States when quite young.  They are both deceased and are buried in Johnstown.  To Mr. and Mrs. Lambert the following children were born:  Charles G., born Nov. 3, 1902, now connected with the Carnegie Steel Company of Pittsburgh; and Alice Rose, born Aug. 28, 1907, a student at Bucknell University of Lewisburg, Pa.  Mrs. Lambert died Dec. 15, 1919, and is buried in Grand View Cemetery, Johnstown, Pa.

Mr. and Mrs. Lambert have resided at the Christian Goebert homestead since July 11, 1900, located at 335-337 Market Street.  The plot of ground on which the Goebert home was built was originally purchased by Mrs. Elizabeth Eichenauer, mother of Mrs. Christian Goebert, from Conrad Suppes, in 1862, for the sum of $360, having a frontage of 40 feet on Market Street, and extending back to Stony Creek Street.  The title of this property remained in the immediate family until 1919, when purchased by L. L. Lambert.

On Jan. 6, 1921, Mr. Lambert was married to Mrs. Carrie S. Sechler, a daughter of J. H. and Anna H. (Hassenplug) Shontz, natives of Union County, Pa.  Before his retirement from business, Mr. Shontz was in the creamery business.  He resides in Mifflinburg, Pa.  Mrs. Shontz is deceased.

Mr. and Mrs. Lambert are members of the Lutheran Church, in which Mrs. Lambert is a very active worker, being secretary to the Women's Missionary Society, besides holding other offices in the church.  He is a Republican, a member of the Knights of Pythias and Sons of Veterans,  he and his wife have a wide circle of friends in Johnstown and are favorably known.
