Ralph Baer Statue in Manchester, New Hampshire - 20th Century Americana

Earlier in May a new statue was unveiled in Manchester's Arms Park, on the banks of the Merrimack River.  It honors the inventor, Ralph Baer, who is considered the Father of all computer gaming. This statue is a friendly nod to Mr. Baer, and seems to invite you to sit down next to him to see what he is holding in his lap.  Which is just the kind of thing that Mr. Baer would have loved in life, since he enjoyed sharing his invention with everyone, especially children.

Ralph Baer was a former Sanders Associate employee (now BAE Systems) from 1956 to 1987 with a rags to riches story.  He was an immigrant who escaped the horrors of fascism and terror in Europe as a child, and became an engineer and hero to millions of computer gamers and technology users across the globe.  He held over 150 patents and created the first version of "Pong" and the game "Simon", as well as the first home video game console. While working at Sanders (BAE) he developed "The Brown Box", which was sold by Magnavox in the 1970s.

Born in Germany as Rudolf Heinrich Baer (1922 - 2014) his Jewish family fled in 1938 just two months before Kristallnacht.  He became a naturalized United States citizen and worked in a factory.  He later graduated from the National Radio Institute, and fought in World War II where he was assigned to military intelligence in London.  Through the G.I. Bill he earned a Bachelor of Science in Television Engineering.  After several other jobs he joined Sanders Associates (BAE Systems) in 1956. His projects included military applications, but through this technology he developed the concept of home video game consoles.  The rest is history!  His Brown Box was patented in 1973, jointly held by Baer and Sanders Associates.

Ralph Baer married Dena Whinston and they had three children.  He died in Manchester at his home in the North End on 6 December 2014.  He was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 2006 by President George W. Bush. He was inducted to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2010. Posthumously he was awarded the Pioneer Award by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences at the 2015 Game Developers Conference. Ralph Baer's lab was recreated at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, where he donated his papers and other artifacts. Baer was an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Life Fellow.

A local grassroots effort held an online Kickstarter campaign with support from BAE Systems and the Orbit Group to collect about $65,000 for the statue of Ralph Baer holding his "Brown Box", and for the statue's upkeep.  Names of donors are on the bricks below the statue.  Also, the Baer family has established a scholarship "The Ralph H. and Dena W. Baer Scholarship Fund" at the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation for Manchester Central High School students planning to study a technology related field.  Gifts may be made to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.

This is another post in my series of stories about 20th Century Americana, local history which I use as story starters and for helping with oral histories.  Most of these subjects bring back great memories to the people who lived through the 20th century, maybe even YOU!

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Rev. Thomas Weld and wife Elizabeth, Rev. Nathaniel Prentice, early ministers at Nashua, New Hampshire

NATH'L PRENTICE

SECOND MINISTER OF

DUNSTABLE 1720

DIED FEB. 25, 1737

ELIZABETH

WIFE OF

THOMAS WELD

DIED JULY 29,  1687

AEt. 31

The Old Dunstable Burial Ground is located on the Daniel Webster Highway, not far from the Massachusetts border.  The proximity to Massachusetts makes this part of the tax free city of Nashua a busy shopping area.  This impressive tombstone is in the southwest corner of the cemetery, away from the busy traffic and shopping malls on Daniel Webster Highway.  It was erected by the city more than 250 years after the death of Rev. Thomas Weld, the first minister at Dunstable, which became the city of Nashua.

According to the book The History of Nashua, page 176 “That portion of the above inscription which refers to the Rev. Mr. Weld’s being massacred by the Indians is legendary, and probably mythical, as there was no Indian War waging in 1702, nor for several years before or after that date.  It should be corrected.”    The next paragraph also reads: “Mrs. Elizabeth Weld was a daughter of Hon. Edward Tyng.  Her mother’s native place was Dunstable, England, and our Dunstable received its name in compliment to her.”

Rev. Thomas Weld is my 2nd cousin 11 generations removed.  We are both descendants of Edmund Weld (1559 - 1608), a cloth merchant of Sudbury, Suffolk, England.  Edmund's son Joseph Weld (1598 - 1646) was my 11th great grandfather and a settler at Roxbury, Massachusetts.  Joseph's brother, Rev, Thomas Weld (1595 - 1660) was a minister in Roxbury.  His grandson is the Rev. Thomas Weld who became the first minister of the first church at Dunstable.  This congregation still exists as the First Church of Nashua.

Rev. Thomas Weld was born 12 June 1653 in Roxbury, and died 9 June 1702 in Dunstable.  He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Wilson on 9 November 1681.  She was the daughter of John Wilson and Sarah Hooker (daughter of Rev. Thomas Hooker of Hartford, Connecticut).  His second wife was Mary Savage, the daughter of Habijah Savage and Hannah Tyng.  You can see that the book The History of Nashua was wrong about the wife buried here in Nashua with Rev. Weld.

The inscription about the Indian massacre is certainly wrong.  A diary by John Marshall of Dunstable has an entry for 1702 "Mem. on the 11th day of June last, Mr. Thomas Weld, the pastor of the Church of Dunstable was buryed he was an eminent preacher of the word of god, a man well beloued and much Lamented by them that knew him.  His death is justly to be accounted a great Loss to the pouince in genrall and to the poor town of dunstable in particuler." 

I previously blogged about Rev. Thomas Weld at this link:

Tombstone Tuesday ~ Catherine Fitch, wife of Ovid Houston, at Nashua, New Hampshire

to Mr. Ovid

Houston who

Novr. 17th 1778 In

ye 45th year of her age.

Blessed are the dead

which die in the Lord.

closeup

Catherine Fitch died 17 November 1778 at age 45.  She married Ovid Houston, as his second wife, at Lincoln, Massachusetts on 25 December 1770.  The first wife, Jemima Colburn,  the daughter of Ezra Colburn and Thankful Richardson, born on 19 September 1747 in Dracut and died on 26 December 1765 in Dunstable, aged 27, is buried next to Catherine.  Jemima married Ovid Houston on 6 May 1762. 

Ovid Houston owned a tavern in Dunstable, near what is now the Tyngsborough depot.  The building was previously built by Henry Farwell, Jr. in 1727.   He had two children with Catherine, Lucy born in 1771, and Grant, born in 1772, who removed to Ashburnham, Massachusetts.

There is a surviving letter from Ovid Houston to Cyrus Baldwin, written from Dunstable on 4 August 1780 in the papers of Loammi Baldwin (1740 – 1807), held at the Houghton Library at Harvard University under the call number MS Am 1811.   I have previously written about Loammi Baldwin, soldier and civil engineer from Woburn, Massachusetts, at this link:

Ovid Houston’s name is mentioned several times in The Diary of  Matthew Patten of Bedford, NH: from 1754 - 1788, published 1903. Most of the mentions are of business transactions.   He is listed in the 1790 census of Tyngsborough as “Ovid Hewstin”. 

 A PDF from the Nashua Public Library of The History of Nashua, 1897  epitaphs from the Old Dunstable Burying Ground are on pages 175 – 183.

Weathervane Wednesday ~ A Running Horse

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs I post weekly.  I started by publishing weather vanes from the Londonderry area, but now I've been finding interesting weather vanes all across New England.  Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting. Often, my readers tip me off to some very unique and unusual weather vanes, too!

Today's weather vane  is from somewhere in New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weather vane #214? Scroll down to see the answer!

Today's weathervane is located on the cupola above the Nashua Historical Society.  This Society owns two buildings, next door to each other on Abbott Street in Nashua, New Hampshire.  The building in the photo is the museum and library.  It was donated by Sceva Speare in 1971 in memory of Florence Hyde Speare.   The house next door is the Abbott-Spaulding house, a museum house open by appointment for tours.

Weathervane Wednesday ~ The Cat Doctor

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs I post weekly, usually of weather vanes in the Nutfield, New Hampshire area, but sometimes they can be from anywhere. Occasionally they are elsewhere in New England, or very historical weather vanes from anywhere else. Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, but all are interesting. Often, my readers tip me off to some very unique and unusual weathervanes, too!  Today's weathervane was photographed in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weather vane #156? Scroll down to the bottom to see the answer!

Today's weather vane was photographed on the Merritt Parkway in Nashua, New Hampshire.  I was driving to my dentist, and this building was right next door.  I've been by here many, many times, but never noticed this unusual white weather vane.  This is only the second cat weather vane I've seen.  It seems that dogs and horses are much more popular pets for weather vanes than cats, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for more!

Londonderry Lithia Water

1902 Harper's Bazaar advertisement

Near where I live in Londonderry, New Hampshire there once was a spring for lithia water located near the intersection of Route 102 and High Range Road.  It was first discovered by the Native Americans, and at one time a commercial operation collected the water and had it bottled in nearby Nashua.  Until about ten years ago there was a rest area nearby on Route 102, with a public pump for the spring water.  On weekends there was a wait to collect the water, as motorists brought bottles, jugs and giant containers to fill.  This water was cold and delicious.  We must live on the same aquifer, because our home well water is very tasty. 

The images above and below are from the book

Londonderry, by Acadia Publishing, 2004, pages 109 and110

The pump house at the Londonderry Lithia Spring
This building is no longer standing

The land in Londonderry was originally owned by the Greely family in the early days of Londonderry.  Later it was the Avery family that operated the spring between 1882 and 1920.  The water was brought to the bottling plant in downtown Nashua by horse drawn wagons.   In 1886 the land was sold to the bottling company.  Nearby the spring location you can still see Greely Road and Avery Estates (on Rossini Drive) named for these early families.   The bottling plant in Nashua was located behind the city hall on West Hollis Street, near the Maynard and LeSieur tire company today.

Look behind city hall to see the Londonderry Lithia bottling building

The Londonderry Historical Society and many local bottle collectors have saved the pottery jugs and glass bottles from the Londonderry Lithia Water Company.  The jugs are the oldest, and then glass bottles were introduced.  Most of the water was sold (still or sparkling) and advertised as mixers for alcoholic drinks, so by 1920, and prohibition (1920 – 1933) the company went out of business.  

I find lots of Londonderry Lithia advertising art at the eBay website.  I’ve also found it just by accident in old magazines (my husband loves to collect old magazines like National Geographic).   The following advertising art for Londonderry Lithia water was all found at eBay.    Imageability, a local business in Londonderry (also now located in the spring water neighborhood), sells reproductions of the advertising art.

JFK in Nashua, New Hampshire

Fifty years ago today, on 22 November 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.  I thought it might be a nice idea to have a good memory of JFK instead of dwelling on the murderous act.

On 25 January 1960 the Massachusetts Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy came to Nashua for the first campaign stop for the 1960 presidential elections. It was his first official election speech, given during a snowfall in front of the Nashua City Hall.  This was the first announcement that he was running for president. In those days, the primary was held in March, and the campaigning began just a few weeks ahead of time.  Today the politicians gear up for the New Hampshire primaries years in advance.  In 1960, the New Hampshire Primary was on March 8th, barely six weeks later!

IN MEMORIAM

KENNEDY

ON JANUARY 25, 1960

THIS CITY HALL PLAZA

WAS JOHN F. KENNEDY'S

FIRST CAMPAIGN STOP

IN THE NATION FOR

THE PRESIDENCY OF

THE UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA.

On the back of the pedestal are words from JFK's inaugural address:

LET THE WORD GO FORTH

FROM THIS TIME AND

PLACE, TO FRIEND AND

FOE ALIKE, THAT THE

TORCH HAS BEEN PASSED

TO A NEW GENERATION

OF AMERICANS - BORN

IN THIS CENTURY, TEM-

PERED BY WAR, DISCIPLINED

BY A HARD AND BITTER 

PEACH, PROUD OF OUR 

ANCIENT HERITAGE."

                    JOHN F. KENNEDY

                    JANUARY 20, 1961

Click here for a link to a 2010 Nashua Telegraph article about the 50th anniversary of this event:

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/560476-196/50-years-ago-nashua-greeted-jfk.html 

On 23 November 2011, Presidential candidate Mitt Romney stood right behind this statue during his campaign during the New Hampshire Primary season, but never once mentioned Kennedy.  Both candidates were from Massachusetts, and both experienced religious prejudice.  Perhaps Romney would have been more successful if he had taken a few moments to mention the man on the pedestal?  On 18 February 1992 Bill Clinton made a campaign stop at this very place, and he won his bid for the highest office.  Yes, he mentioned Kennedy's legacy in his speech.

The Soldiers and Sailor's Monument, Nashua, New Hampshire

A tribute for Veteran's Day
(there are no individual names on this Civil War Monument)

In January 1889 the Nashua City council voted "For the erection of a Soldier's Monument and appropriation not exceeding twelve thousand dollars."    By March the Committee appointed chose a design present by T. M. Perry, of the Frederick & Field Quarry in Quincy, Massachusetts.

A cornerstone holding a time capsule was laid on 30 May 1889 by the Grand Master Masons of New Hampshire.  It was Decoration Day (now called Memorial Day).  There was a parade up Main Street to Abbott Square where the monument was to built.  Several long addresses, prayers and speeches were given.  You can read all about the festivities and a transcription of the speeches in the book below (pages 32 - 39).  On pages 39 to 40 you can find a list of the items placed in the cornerstone, too.  This was followed by more orations and speeches!

The Monument was finished and dedicated on 15 October 1889, just 10 months after the vote to build it.  I'm pretty sure that a project of this magnitude would take a bit longer in Nashua today. It was built of Quincy granite with bronze statues and plaques, so I'm also sure that it would cost much more than the $12,000 today, too.  There was another parade, with viewing platforms and more speeches, and you can read them, too, in the book mentioned below on pages 97 - 120.

This photo is from page 68 of the

book mentioned below.
