Little Falls, NY

  • This day in history: November 6

    1901

    John and Patrick Kearney have the contract to complete the St. Mary’s church steeple for $8,300. The original church building was topped at the height of the bell tower. The contracting masons built the handsome 185 foot steeple, and “crowned” the new spire with a massive gilded cross.

    1911

    David H. Burrell laid the cornerstone of the present Y. M. C. A. building which was then called the Presbyterian Parish House.

    1912

    A citizens’ mass meeting was held at the Hippodrome Theatre, sponsored by people not sympathetic with the strikers at the Phoenix Mill. The object of the meeting was: “to take action for the preservation of peace, business stability and the welfare in general to businessmen and wage earners alike, and the enforcement of laws regulating riotous and disorderly acts.”

    1953

    Dr. Mary K. Irving returned to Little Falls and set up a medical practice at 29 North Ann Street, the same location as Dr. J. J. McEvilly. She was the first woman doctor to practice in the city’s history
