"Little York."
Editor Times: Today. May 6,
narks the 84th birthday of the
/riter. Yes, I first saw the
ght on the 6th of May, 1834,
i the city of Little York, down
n Sugar creek, and I suppose
/as a citizen of that place for
our or five years. From some
icidents we remember about it,
ly father had a pet coon which
/as chained to a tree in the
ard and nnp nicrhfr M*
ot loose and went to Uncle .
ack Kimbrell's some half mile
tf and killed eleven chickens
efore he was routed, but the
ogs finally got after him and 1
an him home and he took refuge
i the cellar under our house,
nd the outlines of that cellar
re plain to be seen to this aay. '
'his old cellar is the only sign '
hat there was ever a building :
n that hill. And one day a
lan going east rode into the
reek there and was drowned,
lis horte got out of the creek
ome little distance down stream
nd was caught, I think, by my
ather. I think this man's
ame was McElwain. There
/ere two or three business
louses in Little York, but we
an recall but two now. One
/as run by a Mr. Clark and the
ther by James Johnson who. as
/e remember, was the father of
lajor J. D. Johnson, who died
t Fort Mill cnrrio i""""!
? ? - ~ * ? > uvuiv JCOIO a^u.
)ne other incident of Little
fork was that the first mess .of
watermelon we remember to
lave had was while we resided
here. It was about tbe size of
rubber ball ao$ about as round,
t was given me by my mother. !
iittle York might have lived
anger and done better, but on
he opposite side of the creek in
Lancaster county was Harris?urg
Mills, which ground both
vheat and corn and ginned
otton, and I have heard father
ay that cotton seed was then
:onsidered of but little value
ind that they were thrown in
he creek to get them out of the
way. We learned in later years
hat whiskey was sold at Harris>urg.
The last person we renember
to have lived at Little i
fork was John Slagle. in 1845.
