Little Falls, NY

This day in history: October 10

1802

In a letter to Alexander Ellice, William Alexander reported that the saw mill and fulling mill were of little use, the dams, runway etc. are decaying and the bridge over the Mohawk River was impassable.

1941

About 125 magicians were registered at the Hotel Snyder for their annual state convention. One highlight was a daring “suspension act” by Elmer Eckam at Eastern Park.

1952

Headline The Evening Times “Registration Drive Surges Toward Its Climax in City,”

“Early morning newscasts over the national radio networks, have already picked up the news of the community-wide campaign in Little Falls for a record registration and vote. Comment is to the effect that this city may be setting the pace for similar campaigns being carried on in towns and cities throughout the country.”

Another headline on the same day: “Float Used to Urge All To Register”

“A float, bearing a cash register and six girls is touring the city today and tomorrow as a part of the drive to “Register and Vote…The float bears the slogan, “Cash In On Your Citizenship. Register Today!”

1960

The saw mill at Andrew Little & Sons, Inc. on West Mill Street became the last industry in Little Falls to convert from water power to electricity. Andrew Little came to Little Falls in 1874 to build the woodwork at the Methodist church. When the project was completed started his company.

Many thanks to Louie Baum for his research for This Day in History.
