- Note*: To My Sisters - Katharine, Helen, Virginia, Eleanor
At the turn of the century, 1900, I was twelve years of age and aware of responsibilities as becomes the 5th child in a family of 9. Our home was unpretentious, yet adequate for our needs. My daily chores included cleaning of lamp chimneys, trimming the wicks, and keeping kerosene in the several lamps. We had no gas or electricity. I also was expected to scuttle coal from the lean-to in back of the kitchen to the sizable kitchen range , which used "pea" coal, and the upstairs hall stove, a "nut" burning Frank-lin, which would supply some heat upstairs for winter days when the hall was dressing room for most of us. 'There was no central heating, but we had a fireplace in the living room, put to good use; also a fireplace in the dining room, but it was more or less blocked off and was rarely used. The kitchen coal range provided heat for the adjacent dining room.
We three boys, Ferris, James and I, occupied a largish bed-room above the dining-room. Jim and I had the double bed with a mattress that sagged and gave us considerable trouble at night keeping one another on side. Older brother Ferris had his own iron frame bed.
Water for bathing had to be brought up from the kitchen; hot water from the big range. We all kept decently clean, using up-stairs pans or the washtub. Saturday was bath day. We took turns of course, and there was naturally considerable to-do about it, to cleanse us all.
Much later a bathroom was installed; also a central heating plant supplying heat as needed throughout and wonderful hot water from the spigot.
A contribution to the improvement in the homestead occurred in 1906 or 1907 for which I take credit. Mother sorely needed better kitchen facilities. The kitchen was two or three steps down from dining-room and the floor was old and difficult if not impossible to keep clean. Also, the lean-to shed which housed the coal bins was ram-shackle. I drew up a plan for remodeling the kitchen and dispensing with the out-shed. In due time it was com-pleted, including town water. I don't recall whether the old kitchen coal range was abandoned at that time in favor of an electric range, but I believe so.
The above recollections are of 112 Ferris Place, formerly Union Place, Westfield. Now that I, Chester, am the oldest of the Edgar Pearsall tribe, events I may recall before 1900 antedate my sisters. I hope to have pep enough to recount events prior to 1900, when our home was with Grandmother and Grandfather Ferris on Broad Street.
But that's another story. I'm sending this recollection to Helen to peruse and perhaps amend. Helen, please pass it on to Katherine, and then to Virginia, and to Eleanor.
Whether the younger generation is interested in "olden times" is a question. We know a great deal about our ancestors, back many generations, but our own Grandmother Pearsall whom I so well remem-ber, has left no trace of her parentage. Presumably she was a "Morgan", yet if not mistaken, I hazily recall someone telling me that she was a VanDerhoeft, or some such dutch ancestry. In any event, I recall her as one of the finest of Christian characters, on a par with our own Mother.
Whatever betides us, we can and will be proud of our ancestry, both Ferris and Pearsall lineage.
I have not attempted to recount the many incidents that all five of us will recall more or less vividly. Perhaps one of my sisters will do this. One reason for this recording is to im-press upon me, and all four of my sisters, plus their children, the change, for better or worse, after seventy-odd years in way of life. And it roils me to hear and read about the critical attitude of much of our citizenry, complaining about this and that, from our President and on down to the garbage collection. This generation is just spoiled-rotten spoiled-myself not excluded. Folks have been rudely awakened to the fact that other countries than dear old U.S.A. have their "druthers" - and money, even the dollar, won't buy everything.
It's just as well that "Americans" must come to accept the inevitable. If we're sound in mind we will profit by it
As a 6 to 8 year old, I recall that men and. women, mostly from Europe, came to America with precious little except willing-ness and ability to work for wages; all to their credit. It paid off - after a generation or two, and for the most part they have become our esteemed citizens and neighbors. Our democracy has made this possible. I think all should realize and acknowledge it with-out 'beefing", especially those who have been aided so magnificently by opportunities America has offered.
I trust you will accept this memorabilia in the spirit written, and add a contribution. - (Witness) Photo Link: RELATED PHOTO(S).

Edgar R. Pearsall, Old Time Resident Succumbs After a Short Illness
Large Church Funeral
Edgar Randolph Pearsall passed away at his home on Ferris Place last Thursday morning, after an illness of three weeks' duration. Mr. Pearsall had been a resident of this town for the past thirty-two years, and was well known as a journalist and military man. He was the founder of the Union County Standard, and all his life had been identified with newspaper work.
Mr. Pearsall was born in Brooklyn on November 3, 1854, he spent his early life in that city until he moved to Westfield.
Mr. Pearsall served as bill clerk in the Assembly when Charles N. Coddling was one of the representatives from Union county. He was an exempt fireman, being one of the original members of the Westfield Hook and Ladder Company. He was also a member of Fireside Council, Royal Arcanum, and of the Immediate Aid.
For many years the deceased was prominent in military affairs. He was connected with the National Guard for eighteen years, enlisting in Company C, of Elizabeth, when that organization was known as the Phil Kearny Guard, under command of Major DeHart. Later Mr. Pearsall joined Company K, of Plainfield, and after serving as a private, was promoted to the rank of corporal. Later he became sergeant, and three years ago was commissioned second lieutenant. He held this rank until his commission expired last February. For several years he had charge of the Boys' Brigade of Westfield.
Mr. Pearsall leaves a widow, three sons, Ferris R. and Chester B. Pearsall of Westfield, and James F. Pearsall of Melrose, Fla. He also leaves six daughters, the Misses Harriet, Helen, Virginia, Eleanor and Catherine Pearsall of Westfield, and Miss Ethel Pearsall, of Jacksonville, Fla.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon in the First M.E. church, the Rev. A.W. Hayes, of Madison, and the Rev. Dr. C.M. Anderson, of Plainfield, former pastors of the church, officiating. The service was largely attended, and included delegations from the fire department, Royal Arcanum and State militia, with which the deceased was closely identified for many years. The bearers were Ferris and Chester Pearsall, sons of Mr. Pearsall, and C.E. Pearsall, L.M. Pearsall, J.H. Pearsall, and R.C. Pearsall, nephews of Mr. Pearsall. Interment took place in the family plot in Fairview Cemetery."
