interesting Review of OriginalLiiidenhurst, When PopularOak Island Boniface Wasa Kid in Knickerbockers.

Oftentimes the older residents ofLindenhurst assemble together and re-view the early days of the village, be-ginning with the time of the real es-tate promoters, Schleier and Welwood,very few being able to go back furtherthan that time.

A few evenings ago, Sidney VanNostrand, proprietor of the Oak Islandhotel and pavilion entertained a com-pany of friends in recalling some hap-penings of Neguntatogue, the earlyname given to the then little hamletbefore it took the name of Breslau.

Probably few know that "UncleSid," as he is generally called, wasborn in an old farmhouse below theMerrick road in Lindenhurst , on thewest side of that then bush road , oneyear before the close of the Civil war.

Several years before his parents, Mr.and Mrs. Henry Van Nostrand, movedfrom Brooklyn and settled in Linden-hurst. They tilled the soil as honestfarmers, and were blessed with eightchildren, seven boys and one girl.

"Uncle Sid," when a boy, attendedthe old school which was located in thehigh woods, just west of the newcanal, and which still stands at therear of the residence of GeorgeKnoth's property. *

The children of the hamlet, Negun-tatogue, learned their three R's fromMrs. John B. Scudder, of Babylon."Sid ," as a little lad , often fell asleepin the old one-room school house on thewooden benches during school hours, asthe lads of that day went to school be-fore they were five years old.

Besides the Henry Van Nostrandsthere were eight other families whichmade up the entire population of theplace. Beginning on the west side ofNeguntatogue lane, now Welwood ave-nue, Dan Smith owned the sectionfrom the bay front up the avenue toElbert Ketcham's place. Next came"Sid's" folks and then John Barteauowned a stretch.

Joe Ketcham lived where the oldHeling house now stands on the northside of the Merrick road and IsaacKetcham lived farther to the west in asmall house opposite the old schoolhouse. Adjoining him was anotherparty by the same name in anothervery small house. Elvin Ketcham liv-ed to the east of Joe's place across thelane and next to him came CharlesKetcham and these good people raisedarge families and lived in peace andcontentment until Schleier and Wel-wood endeavored to erect the city ofBreslau and bough t up all the oldfarms.

For a time "Sid's" folks residedfurther up the lane just to the south ofthe Krueger estate. Later this placewas destroyed by fire while "Sid" wasyet a boy, his parents losing nearlyeverything. Some old apple trees arestill left along the avenue wh ichmarks the location of the house.

"Sid" remembers . his father takinghim by the hand one summer day tosee a train arrive from Brooklyn, short-ly after the railroad was put through.As the engine approached Negunta-togue lane the engineer allowed thesteam to escape from the engine, whichalmost scared young "Sid" to death.He ran for the brush about where theHoffman House now stands and sayshe fairly "dug out of sight." At thattime there was only a small freigh tstation at Lindenhurst and trains werevery infrequent.

On the Fourth of July tbe boyswould be given their package of firecrackers and some dried cat-tails forpunk and they would spend the dayroyally. "Sid" tells of his fathermaking him a present of a fine newpair of brass-toed leather boots withred tops and of going up the lane, theenvy of the other lads, tossing a firecracker here and there. Charles Bar-teau, a bigger lad , was barefooted andthe other boys were trying to dropa cracker on Charles' foot. Theywere unsuccessful and Sid took a handand quickly had one sizzling near Char-lie's big toe.but the next moment "Sid"went flying into the brush having tak-en a ride via Charlie's big foot.

One warm summer's day "Sid" wason his way to his uncle's home and whiletrying to squeeze under a rail fence be-came wedged and finally extricatedhimself, but not until he had soiled hisbrand new suit with yellow mud. Hisaunt about that time spied him and thefamily washtub being in use on thatday, "Sid" was tumbled in clothes andall and says he came out in rather a"mussed up" condition.

Many other interesting stories aretold by "Uncle Sid." Little did hethink then in after years he wouldhave a daughter teaching in both theBabylon and Lindenhurst schools,Miss Evelyn having taught at Linden-hurst last year and at Babylon thisyear.

SPADA'S CLOSE CALLFROM CHILLY DEATHWhile Hauling Rope on Scooterin Middle of Bay Craft Upsets

And Lone Sailor Is Keptin Water for an Hour. •

Severo Spada, 26 years of age, ofLindenhurst, familiarly known as Bo-lognio, came near losing his life whenthe boat in which he was sailing toLinden beach on Thursday morningupset.

Spada was village watchman at Lin-denhurst some years ago shortly afterthe railroad station was burglarized.Later he returned to his former homein Italy and served a time in the navy.He was somewhat of an amateur pugil-ist and also took part in "movie"plays.

Leaving Am-merman 's dock at the foot of Wellwoodavenue about 9:00 o'clock yesterdaymorning with a quantity of groceries,etc. , he was unable to lay his course onaccount of the northeast wind and whenin the channel about two and a halfmiles from the dock , he went forwardto take in the sail and the little scootercapsized.

Spada was in the water for nearly anhour before George Dinger and ThomasJ ohnson rescued him. They rushedhim to Ammerman 's dock more deadthan aliye, however rendering firs t aidon the way in.

At the dock Mr. Dinger, W. H. Tem-ple and Thomas Johnson worked overhim for some time. Dr. Rice arrivedin the meantime and administered re-storatives.

Spada was put to bed at Ammer-man 's, where he now lies resting fairlywell and will recover if pneumonia dossnot set in.

George Dinger and Henry Voelkerlater went after the boat and broughtit ashore.
