Reorganization of the Minneford Engine Company on City Island in
February, 1891
I continue my efforts to document some of the earliest efforts to
develop organized fire fighting units in the Town of Pelham. I recently
ran across one of the earliest references yet involving the
"re-organization" of the Minneford Engine Company on City Island in the
Town of Pelham in 1891. The brief reference is quoted immediately below,
followed by a citation to its source.
"--The Minneford Engine Co. last Friday evening [apparently Feb. 20, 1891]
re-organized as an independent company, with the following officers:
Jerome Bell, President; C. W. Bell, Secretary; Geo. W. Guest, Foreman;
Thomas Keller, 1st Assistant; Anderson Wilson, 2nd Assistant; Jacob Smith,
Engineer; Daniel Piepgras, 1st Assistant.--Mt. Vernon Record."
Source: The Minneford Engine Co., New Rochelle Pioneer, Feb. 28, 1891, p.
3, col. 2.
