After Joe went to work, John Muller came to tend bar for us, he used to sleep with me and went home weekends, he stayed with us until Frank was old enough to tend bar. I went to school until I was about 15 or 16 years old at about the 7th grade, a little more schooling would have helped. My first job was in a Department store on Jamaica Avenue, I didn’t last long there, then I got a job at John R. Carpenter's lumber yard, it was where the Gertz parking lot is today, I worked in the back house, I worked there less then a year when I started to tend bar for Dad. https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page15 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/5d9a738f-dd67-4112-b500-1fad57e1f2df/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_15.jpeg Journal - Page 15 He had a big barn in back of the hotel and a lot of ground, about two acres, we had horses, chickens, pigeons, rabbits and a team of goats which I used to deliver beer and collect empty bottles, when I was about 17 years old Dad bought a Steamobile, brother Frank and I had many pleasant days with that old machine, it was built in Keene, New Hampshire, they only made about 10 of them, it used kerosene for fuel, it would take 20 to 30 minutes to get up steam, you could travel about 15 miles on a steady run, you could step it up to 40 miles per hr, for a few block and it would run out of steam, washday, which was on Monday weather permitting was a problem, Frank and I had to turn the wash machine we didn’t like the job https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page16 monthly 0.5 2024-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/f6d5efa4-62b0-4078-80af-cade769e7e2c/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_16.jpeg Journal - Page 16 very much, mother, sisters Elizabeth and Ann done the rinsing and put the clothes on the line. Mother always had to call Frank or me when the wash machine was ready for another turn this took 20 minutes, that is the reason we didn't like the job. Dad got an idea to work the wash machine with the old steamer, we had an open shed back of the Hotel which we called the cement, the reason we called it that, it had a cement floor. We would back the steamer in the shed, jack up the rear wheel, there was a long stick about 10 foot long fastened to the handle of the wash machine also to the steamers rear wheel with a bolt about half way between the tub and the tire, when the wheel turned, being off center worked the handle just right. https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page17 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/1a04fcec-af33-4ba4-9528-8c6074402a93/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_17.jpeg Journal - Page 17 Frank and I didn’t mind wash day after that. When we first started this operation we had a lot of spectators from the bar room, Frank or I would sit in the drivers seat, open the steam throttle and the steamer would do the work. Frank and I often went out to Uncle Ed Mullers farm in Floral Park about 7 or 8 miles from Jamaica, they had a well, we would fill the water tank which held about 50 gallons, with this well water which was soft, on the way out we traveled about 15 miles per hour, on the way back we went almost twice as fast, we made many trips for that good water, no tire trouble these days, the old wagon had solid tires, we had this machine several years, I was on Merrick Road about a 1/2 mile from the house when one of the rear https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page18 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/881c48f4-06c2-4caa-9f77-b2990a5d13a4/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_18.jpeg Journal - Page 18 axels broke, we had a job to get it back to the house, there were few auto mechanics these days, we tried to get an axel but could not locate any, that was the last trip the old wagon made. I still have some of the parts in the basement. The next car was a one cylinder Oldsmobile that brother Frank bought, I have a photo of this machine and one of the goats which I have mentioned previous, we didn’t have the Olds very long when Frank bought a two cylinder Buick, to start it you had to crank it at the side, most cars would be cranked from the front, we had this several years when Dad bought a Ford roadster I used this to take Ann out before we were married they were parking the cars better, this was about 1914.

He built two hoppers on the second floor of the barn directly over the stalls of the brewery horses, he had a trap door under each hopper which led to the feed bins, to open the trap doors he had an alarm clock fastened to the side https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page20 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/063af208-3d1e-47a2-9052-f04b4959b2a8/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_20.jpeg Journal - Page 20 of the hoppers, when you wind up the clock you turn the key clockwise when alarm goes off, the key turn counterclockwise, he used a half inch dowell cut a groove in one end which fastened to the key and strung wound around dowell and fastened to trap doors, when the alarm went off the string would wind around the dowell and pull the trap doors open, the feed would flow through a three inch leader pipe to the feed bins, the horses were always fed on time, when this was in operation, the barn must have been almost 100 years old, it had heavy oak timber which was cut by hand, you could see the ax marks on the side, in the center was heavy frame work 10" x 12" oak, all the frame work was mortise and tenon with oak pins, the roof shingles were also hand cut, there were plenty rats under the barn https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page21 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/fad12d03-366b-464f-b516-d0842eb512d4/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_21.jpeg Journal - Page 21 when the horses were fed you would see them in the feed bins, when we got the automobile we took out some of the stalls and used it for a garage. When we moved to Jamaica we had a pig pen on the side of the barn, the first year here Dad had a hog guess, this was a big time in many of saloons in the fall of the year, you buy a ticket for fifty cents, mark on the ticket what you think the hog will weight when it is killed and dressed, the one who guessed near the weight gets the hog, all the tickets are in a sealed box and is opened when the hog is dressed, some of these hogs weight as much as 500 pounds, there was plenty money bet at these guesses, Ken Rosenkranz was good at this, I remember seeing him in the hog pen with a tape measure, he would pursuer the hog https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/page22 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/80b1e09e-23dc-41a7-89ec-9390d21ab971/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_22.jpeg Journal - Page 22 from the point of the head to the tail, around the stomach near the front feet and also near the rear feet, he went to many of these hog guesses and did very well with the betting. About 1909 I started to tend bar, would open six-thirty in the morning, it was a tough job in the winter, the bar room stove was banked at night so the fire was low when I got up. I would open the draft on the stove, put three chairs around the stove, sit on one and my feet on the other two, it would take some time for the stove to get hot, I would go to sleep and as the heat would wake me up I would move the chairs, there was little business in the morning, if someone came in for a drink, they would wake me. I would work to about one P.M. Dad would take over to six P.M.

Bud I spoke to you last week bout the cemetery there must be, three more buried in Dad’s plot (AUNT ANN MAMA AND I) which is right behind the Church, get up to see Father (Pastor) Hack he was a good Friend of Uncle Joe who took care of things when Mama and Dad died he had the deed for the plot, when Uncle Joe died I seen Aunt Beth and she could not find the Deed. If three cannot be buried in that plot get a plot for Mama and I and put a nice store stone on it and some flowers now and then. There has been harmony in the family always https://www.edwardjgunthersr.com/journal/appendix26 monthly 0.5 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665f0fb630c6a040b3fca604/b2964c7f-9337-40f1-a013-36cda75fa998/Edward_J_Gunther_journal_Appendix_26.jpeg Journal - Appendix 26 and I pray it will always be that way.
