Oh, My Goodness!
Where did the saying “piss poor” come from? They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot and then once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.” (Tanneries were noted for their terrible smell and tanners were not highly thought of in society because the odor was difficult to remove from their clothing, hair and skin.)
But, worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot— they “didn’t have a pot to piss in,” and were the lowest of the low. The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

From The Napoleon Star, 15 Oct 1857
BURGLARY—Last Wednesday, about 1 o’clock, in the morning the Carpenter Shop of Mr. J. GLASS in this town, was entered and several chisels taken. The persons who took them went tb the Grocery Store of G. C. EASTMAN, and attempted to break the lock on the door, as is supposed from marks on and near it, and could not without the noise being heard, took two panes of glass out of the window, for the purpose of securing an entrance. About the time they got this out, a dog, which was on a boat laying on the dock alarmed them and they fled. They next visited the Grocery Store of Mr. J. P. ROWAN, which they entered by tearing the casing from the outside of the door and breaking the lock, with the chisels taken from the carpenter shop entered the store and lighted a candle. Mrs. ROWAN, being at a neighbor’s house where one of the family was sick, on returning home, saw a light in the store and immediately went to and informed Mr. ROWAN, who proceeded to the store and entered with a stick in his hand, found two of the chaps inside, one was behind the counter and the other in the back room attached to the store, searching a desk for money. The candle was in the hand of the one in the back room, who threw it down at the approach of Mr. ROWAN. The one behind the counter jumped over after Mr. ROWAN, passed him toward the one in the back room and fled.
The man in the back room was ordered to surrender, and came out into the front room, which he done, seeing no chance for escape. The one arrested gave his name as CURTISS, he was tied and delivered to the Sheriff for safe keeping. He said his home is near Buffalo, New York. One of them did not enter, but stood outside to give the alarm, who had only time to save his own bacon, Mr. ROWAN coming on him so sudden. No satisfactory description of the other two could be got from CURTISS, who was taken to Maumee City for safe keeping till court, the jail in this place not being finished.
Early Hamler Businessmen
(continued from Sept-Oct issue)
The importance of agriculture to the village is reflected in the presence of grain elevators. An elevator and grist mill were owned by E. E. GARDENER in 1890 located where the fertilizer plant later stood and another elevator operated by John WICKENHISER was located on the site of the BAUR Canning Factory building. Later, an elevator was built by C. O. CRUISKSHANK at the site of the present Hamler Co-op.
P. C. LOWE was the owner of a dray service but was called upon when a “horse doctor” was required. He and Joe EDWARDS were also auctioneers. L. M. FISHER was a sewing machine agent. George PACEY sold pianos and organs. Sadie NEWTON LAREMORE ran a millinery shop, as did Miss L. D. HAYES. Later shops were operated by the MURRAY Sisters (Mary and Alice) and Ada RITZ GUELDE.
A bakery and confectionery was advertised by Mrs. M. DICKERHOFF and later operated by the OVERLYS. A Mr. BOWER was in the PANNING Building and Bill ROBINSON had a bakery in the I.O.O.F building. Bread sold six loaves for 25 cents in the early 1900’s.
George FREDERICKS operated a tinning and roofing shop. Paul FREDERICKS did wallpapering and painting, repaired cloth auto tops, and ran the picture show. Elmer DICKERHOFF also painted houses and signs.
Abner JONES advertised as a tonsorial artist (barber shop) and later barbers were Kit JONES; Martin FISHER, who plied his trade for over 50 years; Wm. ROSSELIT; A. GROLL; Frank HOFFMAN; Carl WIRTH; Harold HAHN; Bill HASHBARGER; Elmer BEAVERS; Cecil SAUL; and Harvey ROSEBROOK.

In 1890 David SHEARER had a furniture and undertaking parlor which he sold in 1896 to J. V. TenEYCK. It was sold again to J. L. ARNOLD in 1900 and later to Wm. McKEE. William HAGEN operated the last furniture store and undertaking parlor in Hamler.
There was a cement block factory which also made fence posts, cement shingles and porch posts. The pioneer in the process was Fred GLUSS who came to Hamler from Germany in 1893. GLUSS BROS. (Fred, August, and nephew William) built many miles of concrete roads and bridges. They later operated a clay tile factory and still later a feed mill. Later operators of the cement factory were Henry BADEN, Herman GUELDE, and Fred LUDEMAN, who started the manufacture of cement field tile. Field tile was also made by Charlie POE and later by Charles GUTMAN.
Livery stables were a common sight in the early days and in the 1870’s Hamler’s first one was operated by Mr. C. W. LOWE, located where BICHAN Chevrolet was later. That livery was later operated by Billy FRENCH. In 1892 John GILLMORE operated one and others were owned by Jacob RENTZ, Sid STEVENS, Ozzie ZIEROLF and D. GEBHARDT. In the early 1900’s many stables became auto repair garages. In 1916 Ben BECHTOL ran an auto supply house and sold Maxwell Autos, followed by Wm. LONG and Ernest BICHAN who sold Hudson, Essex and then Chevrolets. Orlo RITZ operated a garage just south of the Dairy Bell and George FAETH also had one on that site. Henry WOLFE operated a gas station on a site north of the school, later operated by George and Jack FAETH. Fred HONEMANN started his garage and auto sales in 1933, Warner DURHAM also sold autos.
Photo galleries were operated by Jack SPAR, Mr. ARNEY, and Robert FORTUNE. In 1896 J. L. ARNOLD operated a harness and buggy shop, then Alva CLYMER. After the Hamler Hardware was formed in 1915, J. W. RITZ, George ROHRS, and Carl BADEN were the harness repair men until George ROHRS bought the shoe store and moved the repair business to that location. George WASHINGTON was a negro shoeshine boy who lived upstairs in the BLINN Building for many years in the 1920’s.
In the late 1800’s restaurants were operated by Clem HITT and Erv CRAMPTON. N. J. BLINN operated a restaurant for many years in a building where the post office is. Others were located in the bank building having several owners: Mac McDERMOTT, Henry DACHENHAUS, Henry EICKHOFF, H. T. MEYERS, Red ELDER and Frank BURKE, and Dave ROBERTS. Mrs. Frank BURKE worked in the SHIRTS Hotel for many years and made and sold carpets.
In 1892 Herman GUELDE started a shoe store which was later operated by his sons Herman, Henry, Fred and William, then sold to George DETERS and last to George ROHRS.
Variety stores were operated by ARPS and ROHRS and ARPS and SHAW in a building where BISHOP Locker was later located. MEYERHOLTZ Variety Story was located in the building north of the HONEMANN Garage. A jewelry store was operated by Dermy MILLER in a room on the south end of the Guy FREY blacksmith shop in the early 1900’s.
The first hardware in Hamler was owned by J. O. MERRIT in 1888. J. L. ARNOLD started a hardware and in early 1897 sold to Wm. H. McKEE, who later sold to H. F. WESTRICK. Later this store was known as WESTRICK and RITZ. In 1915 it was owned by Wm. F. BADENHOP, J. W. RITZ, and J. A. JACKMAN, by 1935 it operated as Hamler Hardware under the ownership of J. A. and Walter JACKMAN. In 1917 Wm. McKEE owned The Reliable Hardware, later sold to Ernest McVETTA and Fred KOSSOW, then operated by Mr. CHANDLER.
In the early 1900s Henry BENIEN operated a well drilling and plumbing supply business. He was followed by Ted ARPS, Harold HAHN, Henry BURNS and J. W. RITZ, some of whom did plumbing from the Hamler Hardware.
A creamery was located on what was later the school property and owned by Guy MOATS. The Grey and White Creamery Co. had a station and bought cream, eggs and poultry, as did John MILLER and Sons. Foster NUTTER had the same type of business as did Frank DODA, and Glen GORDEN. A. G. JUNGE had a large poultry and egg business and Henry BADENHOP and Chester RITZ also bought eggs from farmers. NEUHAUSER Hatcheries occupied a part of what was later BARHITE’s and was operated by Herman GUELDE and later Henry DAMMAN.
The first pool hall in the late 1800’s was owned by GARRISONS and from about 1900 to 1930 by A1 BRADY. Later pool rooms were operated by Pete BARTELS, Carl FISHER and W. RENOLETT.
Interesting Facts from the 1500s
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good in June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. The custom is still to carry a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last c all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!”
Ken Thompson Translations for German Scrapbooks at Library
Several years ago a three-volume set of family scrapbooks was donated to our society. The items were cut from at least one German-language newspaper from this area, but not dated or identified. It is believed most of the articles came from Der Defiance Herold (1895-1920) and included items regarding families in western Henry County and in townships transferred to Defiance County. Ken Thompson has translated the items for us. An index is being published as space permits.
