Cape May in Years Gone By

Soon after Cape May Point waa established, John Wanatnaker, of Philadelphia, bought property there and erected a summer residence. When President Harrison was inaugurated, he appointed Mr. Wanamaker his PostmasterGeneral. They ’became warm friends. During a few weeks ■ in June, 1889, Mr*. Harrison and the family were guests of the Wanamaker cottage, and liking Cape May Well, she so expressed herself. The President also oaid one visit During the winter of 1889-1890 the friends of the President built a handsome $10,000 summer cottage, and through Postmaster-General Wanamaker and William V. McKean, editor of the Philadelphia “Public Ledger," presented the cottage to Mrs. President Harrison, by handing her the deed and keys in the White Hpuse, at Washington, on June 6, 189a In three weeks the family took possession, where they resided from June 20 until August 28. The President passed about four weeks of the season with his

family.

Hon. James G. Blaine, the Secretary of State of PresidenU Garfic|d &nd Harrison, visited the Cape during the summer. General William Tecuuueh Sherman visited his daughter, who resided in a Columbia avenue cottage, On the 24th of August, that day being Sunday, the President, accompanied by Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick, his wife's niece, who afterwards became the second Mrs. Harrison, visited the Cojd Spring Church for worship. While on their way home, Cowchman William Turner, who had grown up to the neighborhood, was directed to drive by the cottage of "Uncle Dan” and “Aunt Judy" Kelly, on the "thunpike," to Lower township, to whom the attention of Mrs. Harrison had been drawn by a photograph she had seen of the aged couple, and the vine dad cottage in which they had lived for years. Through Mrs. Harrison the President became interested, and that occasion was taken ft?r viewing It The carriage drove up to the garden gate and the President alighted and entered. Aunt Judy, who was alleep inside the cottage, was aroused, and President Harrison requested a drink of water, which ww furnished dear and cool from the depths of the old wdl, and which was drawn up by the “old oaken bucket,” hung upon a rope. As he stood drinking Judy's bright eyes watched him dosely. As he finished he remarked, “I have a photograph of you and your husband.” “What might you name be?" asked Judy. “I am General Harrison," replied the President “The saints be praised,” cried Judy. “I have lived to see a President and talk to him. Dan’ll Dan’ll Coom out here, old man. Sure an the President has coom to us.” The old man, who was a cripple, hobbled out and, dropping his hat seemed too awe-strUck at the great honor to talk. Judy, however, had her tongue wagging, and, turning to the President said: ' “Sure il you have my picter, can't i have one of youra?” ‘I have no picture of myself with me,” answered the President “But” and his eyes twinkled as he fdt in his pocket and drawing something therefrom, which he landed to Judy, “this is the picture of another President" Judy’s hand closed over the gift, and she grasped the President's hand, shouting her dunks as be moved toward his carriage, which he entered with a farewell, lifting his hat and was whirled out of sight. Ofily then did Judy stop to look at what had been given | her, and her surprise and dfligte can be imagined when she discovered g new and crisp five-dbllar bill, containing the

likeness of President Jackson, itringthe* * - - -

During Ihe summer of 1891 President Harrison and family again passed the. season at Cape. May Point, while the President establislufl his executive office at Congress Hall, to Cape May, which was open from July 3 until Septem-

ber 15.

The President and family Came on July 3 to their cottage, but the President himself did not remain there ail the season. From Augu*l 18 to 29 he was away at Saratoga, M. Y. In the season of 1892 die family did cot come to Cape May Point That fall Mrs. Harrison died. During the summer of 1893 General Harrison, who had on the 4th of March preceding retired from the Presidential chair, passed part of his summer at tne cottage. In 1896 be disposed of the cottage to a Philadelphian.
