texts: <mask>,  (29 April 1938 – 6 November 2004) was an English steeplejack and television personality, with a keen interest in mechanical engineering, who described himself as a "backstreet mechanic". When <mask> was born, Britain relied heavily upon coal to fuel its industry. As a child, he was fascinated by the steam engines which powered the many textile mills in Bolton, but he paid particular attention to chimneys and the men who worked on them. He began his working life as a joiner, before becoming a steeplejack. From age 22, he served for two years in the Army Catering Corps of the British Army, undertaking his National Service. Once demobilised, he returned to steeplejacking but met with limited success until he was asked to repair Bolton's parish church. The resulting publicity provided a boost to his business, ensuring he was almost never out of work.In 1978, while making repairs to Bolton Town Hall, <mask> was filmed by a regional BBC news crew. The BBC then commissioned a documentary, which followed the rough-hewn steeplejack as he worked on chimneys, interacted with his family and talked about his favourite hobby—steam. His Lanky manner and gentle, self-taught philosophical outlook proved popular with viewers and he featured in a number of television programmes. Toward the end of his life, the decline of Britain's industry was mirrored by a decline in his steeplejacking business and <mask> increasingly came to rely on public appearances and after-dinner speaking to support his income. In 1998, he presented a programme on Britain's industrial history and went on to present a number of series, largely concerned with

Childhood
<mask> was the son of Frank and <mask> (née Travis), who were initially both employed at a bleach works.His mother later worked as a charwoman at a gas works. Named after his uncle <mask>, he was born on 29 April 1938 and brought up in the historic Lancashire town of Bolton, then a predominantly industrial town with a history in the spinning and weaving of cotton. As a child, <mask> was fascinated by the sights and sounds of industry and the dozens of chimney stacks visible around Burnden Park, and paid particular attention to the steeplejacks he saw on his way to school. A popular pastime for local children was playing around the many mill lodges (industrial ponds) which once littered the area. An inventive child, <mask> and some friends designed a makeshift diving suit from a crisp tin, a car inner tube and some piping. After being told to remove it from the local swimming baths, they tested it in one of the lodges, but were unsuccessful. The Bolton arm of the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal was one of <mask>'s regular haunts.The canal was by then largely disused (the Bolton arm had been mostly closed in 1924) and <mask> sometimes dredged it with an iron hook on a rope, for what he called 'plunder'. Much of this was stored in the back yard of his mother's house. <mask> and his friend Alan Heap built a canoe from old bicycle wheels (cut in half to make the ribs), slate laths and a canvas sheet from the back of a lorry. Much to the consternation of his mother, <mask> sailed the

 boat along the nearby River Croal. He once astonished his teachers when, following the theft of the school keys, he cut new keys for each classroom door. As a young man

At school <mask> was placed in an art class (his reading and writing skills were judged to be poor), following which he spent three years at art college, where his work was based mainly on industrial themes such as machinery, pithead gear and spinning mills. On leaving college at 16 he was offered a job at a funeral parlour, but left quickly to begin work at a local joinery.<mask> had watched the activities of steeplejacks throughout his childhood, and first witnessed a chimney felling from his father's allotment near Bolton's greyhound track at Raikes Park. The steeplejacks removed the top of the chimney and then created a hole in its base, propped with blocks of wood. They then lit a fire, destroying the supports and causing the chimney to collapse. Unfortunately, on this occasion the chimney fell in the wrong direction, onto the greyhound track's dog kennels, a local café and a series of power cables. His first job that involved ladders was given to him while he still worked as a joiner. He was asked to point a garden wall and then the gable end of the customer's house. He used several short ladders, lashed together with rope and hardboard.This gave <mask> valuable experience and his employer expanded the business to include property repairs. Aged about 17–18 he climbed the  chimney at Barrow Bridge, for a 10 shilling bet. During the night he took two Union flags to the top and secured each to the lightning conductors there.

 reported the incident, with a photograph of <mask>'s feat, but attributed it to the activities of students from Manchester University. At about the same time, <mask> decided to replace the chimney stack at his mother's house on Alfred Street with one of his own design, as his mother used only one fireplace—leaving four of the five chimney pots redundant. As the single opening at the top of the new stack was only about  wide, the flue needed regular maintenance. On one occasion, he was cleaning the flue using a sack of bricks tied to a rope when the sack ripped open, breaking several pipes and flooding his mother's kitchen.After the death of his mother, the house was sold and the council placed a preservation order on the chimney, which remains to this day. National service
Aged 22 <mask> was conscripted into the army to complete his National Service and was given a position in the cook house. He spent six weeks training at Aldershot, before being sent to Catterick to learn the basics of army catering. He was then posted with the 14th/20th King's Hussars and sent to West Germany. There he persuaded his commanding officer to let him repair the regiment's farmhouse (used for stabling horses and hounds) and he was soon given a more permanent position as a builder and handyman. He dug a  deep shaft into which the horse manure and dog faeces would be emptied and he also fed the animals. He impressed his commanding officers by making a weathercock from army kitchen trays, but was also chastised when he was found with a 1914 Luger P08 pistol he had bought from a fellow soldier.He often received parcels of alcohol and tobacco from

 his mother, which allowed him to maintain the habits he had formed when he began his working life. Although <mask> initially resented being called into service, he would later be more positive about the experience:

Steeplejack

On his return from National Service in 1962 <mask> retrieved his tools from storage, bought a 1927 350 cc AJS motorcycle for 21 guineas and looked for more work. Bolton, however, was in the midst of post-industrial decline; between 1957 and 1965 about 70 mills were closed in the town, leaving only 37 mills operational and about 50 disused. Initially he was unable to find much work and existed on smaller, domestic jobs, until he earned enough to buy his own set of ladders and secured his first commission while working at a local mill. He was paid £140 to point a mill tower, which he did at weekends. He struggled, however, to get any more meaningful work, until he met Lonsdale Bonner, one of his teachers from art college. The two agreed a deal whereby Bonner would be paid a commission for each job he got for <mask>.His first job was dismantling a chimney alongside the Manchester and Bolton Railway, a difficult proposition, as a mistake could force the temporary closure of the railway. The two managed to gain commissions for several jobs, but their relationship was terminated when <mask> was called upon to undertake another six months of National Service. He was then commissioned to repair a chimney at a local brewery. While working on this, he met a local welder who also knew the vicar of Bolton (Richard Greville Norburn), who wanted some repairs made to Bolton parish church's weathervanes. The

 vicar drove a 1929 Humber limousine and was impressed by <mask>'s AJS motorcycle; the two quickly became friends. The church was the tallest building in Bolton and once <mask> had repaired the weathervane the vicar asked him to gild it. <mask> appeared in the local newspaper and the publicity and his friendship with the vicar enabled him to gain more work from the local clergy.His next major job was for local firm Hick Hargreaves, the proceeds of which enabled him to expand his collection of ladders to 30. He was commissioned to remove the top half of a  chimney and employed an assistant, Percy Porter. The top of the chimney contained a length of railway line, which had been used for lifting materials during construction. <mask> hacksawed the line into pieces, letting each piece fall to the ground, while his assistant below kept the area clear. He then spent the next six months removing each brick by hand while the chimney was still in use, as the factory could not afford to halt production. First marriage

In 1967, following disagreements over who should be invited to their wedding, <mask> and 19-year-old hairdresser Alison Mary Foster eloped to Gretna Green, to get married. <mask> had first spotted Alison from the top of a chimney and, when one day she walked into the pub where he was drinking, he asked her out; six weeks later, the two became engaged.They left notes for their parents, caught a train to Carlisle and from there on a series of buses to Dumfries. They had initially planned to stay at the house of a friend but as he had returned to Bolton for his holidays, they stayed instead at a local farmhouse. The two

 had to be resident for at least 21 days to be married and so <mask> agreed to point the gable ends of a local hotel in exchange for bed and board. On 19 May, the two married at the church at Gretna Green and returned to live at <mask>'s mother's house. They later moved into a Victorian gatehouse on the Earl of Bradford's estate, just outside Bolton. <mask> spent years restoring the property, including building an extension. The house was a listed building and so he had to source appropriately aged bricks for the extension.A vicar offered him some of the old gravestones from the church graveyard, which <mask> then used to create the stone lintels and mullions, though he later expressed his fear that his property would now be haunted. The couple later purchased the house for £5,000, although it required major repairs to stabilize the rear wall. The couple had their first child, a girl named Jayne, in June 1968. Alison was initially worried about her husband's occupation but learned to deal with the risk and to trust <mask>. She organised his accounts and even collected debts. She also helped him demolish some of the chimneys that he worked on, by lighting the fire to burn away the temporary supports he had put in place. Chimney felling

Having mastered his trade repairing chimneys, <mask> became aware of the demand for a cost-effective method of demolishing them.He offered to remove them without using explosives, by cutting an ingress at the base of the chimney—supporting the brickwork with wooden props—and then burning away the props so that the chimney fell, hopefully in the intended direction. Although this was a tried

texts: and tested method, it was not without its opponents. On one occasion he was contracted by the local council to fell two chimneys. The contract obliged him to dismantle each by hand, but he decided to fell them by cutting away the base. The first chimney collapsed as planned, but the council terminated his contract and refused to pay. <mask> contacted the borough engineer and offered to fell the second chimney for no charge, to prove the effectiveness of his technique. He even offered to let the engineer light the fire, but the wind blew so hard that the chimney did not draw the flames and once the props had been burnt through, it remained standing.<mask> resorted to using a hydraulic jack to apply extra pressure to the intact side of the base and the chimney eventually fell. He later told the engineer that "it was all about fine balancing and counteracting high wind forces." He almost lost his life in 1997, when a concrete chimney he had been asked to fell on Canvey Island began to collapse before the felling team had finished preparing the base. As the team ran from the chimney, <mask> tripped and fell and was greeted by the sight of 2,500 tonnes of concrete leaning toward him, but fortunately the chimney righted itself and then fell in the opposite direction. The last chimney he felled, which was his 90th, was in Royton, in May 2004. <mask>'s interest in steam power stemmed from his childhood observations of the steam locomotives on the nearby railway line, and his visits to his father's workplace—a bleach works in Bolton—where he was fascinated by the steam engines used to drive the line shafting.

 childhood home was sometimes mothballed and <mask> once broke in:

He later became a steam enthusiast, befriending many of the engine drivers and firemen who worked on the nearby railway.As a teenager he met a driver who invited him onto the footplate of his locomotive and who asked him to keep the boiler supplied with fuel. <mask> became so enamoured with steam engines that he eventually looked for one he could buy. He learned of a steamroller kept in a barn near Warrington and which the owners had bought from Flintshire County Council. He had the boiler pressure-tested and, despite its being in poor condition, bought it for £175. He towed it to a friend's house, spent a fortnight making various repairs, and drove it to his mother's house in Bolton. After he had married and bought his own property on Radcliffe New Road, he cut an access road to the garden of his new house and moved the steamroller there. Restoring the engine took many years, as <mask> had to create his own replacement parts, using Victorian engineering techniques and equipment he built in his garden.The boiler was in poor condition and needed serious work, but <mask> fell back on local knowledge and was eventually able to build a new boiler. Once it was restored, he used the 1910 Aveling and Porter steamroller together with a living van he bought and restored, to take his family around the local steam fairs. While driving the vehicle was relatively safe, <mask> had experienced several mishaps, including one instance when he lost control while descending a steep hill and was forced to drive the engine into a concrete barrier to bring it to a halt,

texts: smashing the front fork in the process. Restoring the steamroller placed a heavy burden upon his marriage and Alison would often complain that her husband spent more time in the shed, repairing the engine, than he did in the house. He responded by naming the vehicle Alison, telling his wife "It's not every woman that has a steam engine named after her." Alison eventually developed an affection for the antique vehicle, saying, "We've done without for so many years to get it built up. I couldn't bear to part with it.There's too much of us in it." His next purchase, made in the autumn of 1980, was a 1912 Aveling & Porter traction engine. <mask> paid a friend £2,300 for the vehicle and moved it to the garden behind his home. He built a steam-driven workshop in his garden, salvaging parts from various mills, including line shaft gear and a stationary engine from a mill in Oldham. He gave a conservative estimate of four years to complete the work, but the restoration eventually took 27 years. The engine was sold at auction in July 2010 for £240,000. In 1988 he was asked by Caernarfon Council to make repairs to a chimney at Parc Glynllifon.Beneath the chimney, an engine room contained an 1854 single-cylinder steam engine in poor condition. <mask> repaired the chimney and several weeks later was asked to repair the engine, which he dismantled during the winter of 1988/89 and took back to Bolton. With his assistant Neil Carney, he spent six months repairing the engine. The two sourced a replacement boiler from a local pork pie factory and re-installed the engine in Wales. <mask> later won a prize for the quality of the restoration

<mask>, Steeplejack

In 1978 <mask> was commissioned to make repairs to Bolton Town Hall.Decades of exposure to soot and rain had caused serious damage to the clock tower and <mask> alerted the Clerk of Works to the condition of the 16 stone pillars at the top of the tower. He bought new stone, built a lathe in his workshop and created the replacement pillars. He was given the job of repairing the clock tower and he also gilded the golden sphere at the top of the building. While <mask> was working from his bosun's chair, a public relations officer at the Town Hall informed <mask> that BBC Look North West wanted to interview him. The following week, the film crew arrived and Alistair MacDonald conducted the interview from the top of the building, with <mask> perched outside on his scaffolding. His warm and friendly manner combined with his enthusiasm and broad Lancashire accent proved popular and he was later contacted by producer Don Haworth, with a view to making a documentary. After several meetings over the course of a few weeks, filming began early one morning just as <mask> had climbed to the top of a  chimney at Shaw and Crompton, a mill town near Oldham.Sporadic filming took place over an 18-month period and captured <mask> (with assistant Donald Paiton) working on a range of buildings, spending time with his family and enjoying his hobbies. Giulio Briccialdi's Carnival of Venice (performed by James Galway) was the music chosen to accompany <mask>'s work on Bolton Town Hall. One of the more

Standing only yards away from the base of the chimney as it began to collapse, his retreat to safety and subsequent boyish outburst of "Did you like that?" endeared him to viewers. <mask>, Steeplejack won the 1979 BAFTA award for best documentary, and over the years Haworth returned to film more documentaries. With his newly found fame, however, came distractions from his work.Visitors would arrive at his house, to see his garden. He began to receive fan mail; one individual wrote to offer <mask> a steam-powered machine he no longer wanted. One company, who were apparently disturbed to see <mask>'s matches being extinguished by the wind while at the top of a chimney, sent him a sample of their windproof matches. Filming would also interfere with his work. Cameraman Martin Lightening would climb with <mask> to the top of a chimney—with a 16mm film camera—and film him at work, often hundreds of feet above the ground. Several years later, <mask> and his family went on holiday, to Blackpool. The trip was filmed for television and showed <mask>'s preference for working rather than holidaying.He did however manage to undertake the removal of a small chimney stack from a business in the town, under a distinctly grey sky and aided by his wife, Alison. His payment for the job was a new front plate for the boiler of his traction engine. <mask>, however, refused to take any more holidays and, after 18 years of marriage, Alison booked and paid for a holiday to Greece, taking their three children (Jayne, Lorna and Caroline) with her. <mask> remained at home and was

 surprised when, upon her return, she asked for a divorce. One day in October 1985, <mask> attended a solid fuel exhibition in nearby Bury. Upon his return he discovered that Alison had left the house, taking with her their three children, the dog and some items of furniture. Short of money, he was forced to sell his antique AJS motorcycle.He found life without his family difficult but defended his wife: "There is no doubt whatsoever, she were a good help to me and I'm going to miss her. It was just that all the pressure got too much for her." Second marriage
<mask> met his second wife Susan Lorenz—a 28-year-old social worker—at a steam rally in Cheshire. In The <mask> Story (1996) she recalled their first meeting: "He looked sad and miserable, quite a pathetic sort of figure really, none of the bounce that people knew him for." He later invited her to a chimney felling in Oldham and then a talk he had been invited to give to a group of fans in Halifax, known as The Fred <mask> Appreciation Society. Sue moved into <mask>'s home in Bolton and the two married on 27 February 1987. She encouraged him to grow a moustache and also to give up smoking.Many of the chimneys around Bolton had now been either repaired, or demolished and so <mask> was forced to travel further afield for work. He travelled to the Yorkshire Dales to install a lightning conductor on the parish church in Kirkby Malham. While digging the hole for the conductor, they uncovered human bones, for which a reinterment ceremony was held. Their first son, Jack (named after his father's trade), was born in 1987. <mask> offered to make a weathercock, provided that

In 1996 <mask> repaired the  chimney at Barrow Bridge—the same chimney he had scaled for a bet, in his youth.He was also asked to install a peregrine falcon nest at the top. He was later influential in ensuring the chimney was made a listed building. As a notable raconteur he also became an after-dinner speaker and would wear his trademark flat cap with his dinner jacket. He made an appearance in a 1996 television advertisement for Kelloggs. However, the strain of living with a man so dedicated to his hobbies began to take its toll on his wife:  Susan met another man and moved out, taking Roger with her and leaving Jack with <mask>. Third marriage
By 1997 <mask> was living alone, with little work or money. Competition from Manchester had reduced his income from steeplejacking and filming for the BBC had dried up completely.He had, however, met Sheila Grundy, a former magician's assistant. She had arrived one day with her parents and young son to see <mask>'s back yard, and signed the visitor's book. The two remained in contact and became friends; they shared an interest in steam and Grundy was fascinated by <mask>'s tales of steeplejacking. She and her son moved in with <mask> in 1998 and the couple married on 26 September that year. At their wedding reception in Bolton, <mask> was surprised and moved to tears when his youngest daughter, Caroline, came to see him. <mask> had had little contact with his daughters in the years since his divorce from Alison.

Hall suggested that <mask> would be unlikely to have any further television work commissioned on his life and that he should consider becoming a television presenter. The two worked on new ideas for a programme that would show <mask> touring the country, visiting important historical locations and speaking to the men involved in the maintenance and restoration of industrial machinery and architecture. The programme would also exploit <mask>'s working-class attitude and show him operating some of the machinery he visited. Filming of <mask>'s Industrial Age began in July 1998. The first location was near Bolton, at the Wet Earth Colliery and the crew then moved on to various locations around the country, continuing to film through the summer and autumn of 1998. The series achieved high viewing figures, with positive reviews, and the associated website became the second most-visited BBC website at the time.A complementary book was also published and was one of the top five best-selling history books of the year. <mask> admitted he found speaking to a camera more nerve-racking than climbing a chimney, but the success of <mask>'s Industrial Age was a portent; he later presented several other television series. Before filming began for <mask>'s Magnificent Monuments, he had installed his red ladders on the steeple at St Walburge's in Preston, ready for an inspection. With filming for television now taking up much of his time, however, he was unable to complete the job. He left the ladders at the church

In 2001, to mark the centenary of the death of Queen Victoria, the BBC transmitted a season of programmes based on a Victorian theme and <mask> presented <mask>'s Victorian Heroes. He had long been fascinated by the Victorians, especially Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whom he regarded as his hero.During filming, he visited a number of locations, including the  high Clifton Suspension Bridge and the slipway for the SS Great Eastern. Illness
In early 2001, <mask> was due to begin filming <mask>'s Building of Britain, but suffered severe abdominal pains and was admitted to hospital for tests. He was discharged and began filming at locations around the country, including the Globe Theatre, Ely Cathedral and Glamis Castle. <mask> was the chairman of the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal Society and an episode on the construction of Britain's canal network was therefore of particular interest to him. Toward the end of filming, <mask> went to Bolton Royal Hospital for a check-up, where a tumour was found on his right kidney. The kidney was removed and the tumour was found to be malignant. He went to Christie Hospital in Manchester, where further growths were discovered around his bladder.On the same day, Sheila's father fell from the roof of his house and died. <mask> underwent chemotherapy and once his treatment was finished tests showed that he was free of cancer. Filming for <mask>'s Age of Steam began early in 2003, at the Trencherfield Mill, near Wigan Pier. The film crew visited a number of locations, including a steam rally in Cornwall

 and the Bluebell Railway in Sussex. <mask> was travelling around the country working on a subject that fascinated him, visiting old friends and making money from his hobby. The restoration of his traction engine was almost complete; later that year, however, <mask> had another checkup at Christie Hospital and was told that a large tumour had been found on his bladder. Dig with <mask>
<mask> had another course of chemotherapy, but this time the treatment was unsuccessful.Undeterred, he began to dig a replica coal mine in the back garden of his home. Although the sight of pithead gear may have been considered by his neighbours to be unusual, as a child raised in Bolton, he had been surrounded by pits such as Ladyshore Colliery and had long harboured an interest in mining. He had already assembled the wooden pithead gear and was planning to sink a  brick-lined shaft below this into the hillside. At the bottom of the shaft, a horizontal tunnel would have led out to the steep side of the valley above which his garden sits. The intention was to have a narrow gauge railway running along the tunnel, back up the hillside on a rope-hauled inclined plane, returning to the pithead. The ultimate aim was to be able to demonstrate the basic working of an early colliery. Seven years before his diagnosis, therefore, <mask> had sourced drawings of suitable pithead gear and built a frame from timber and iron bolts.He had applied for and was given planning permission to erect the structure, but made no mention of his wish to dig a shaft underneath it. The BBC decided to make a documentary on <mask>'s proposed mine, which would entail his

Using traditional shaft-sinking techniques and the labour of mining friends Alf Molyneux and Jimmy Crooks, the shaft was sunk to a depth of  and lined with brick. The work had been undertaken without planning permission and, when the council eventually found out what was happening, they insisted he apply for planning permission. <mask>'s Made in Britain
Despite <mask>'s best efforts, planning permission was refused. Although he appealed against the decision, a new series diverted his attention.At the end of 2003 production began for <mask>'s Made in Britain. With his friend, Alf Molyneux, <mask> would tour the country on his completed traction engine, visiting the workshops that still could produce the parts needed for his antique vehicle. His engine, however, was not yet complete and <mask>'s medical diagnosis was not good: he knew he had only a short time to live. His traction engine developed a serious fault, but with the help of friends, it was quickly repaired and its restoration completed. In December 2003, his traction engine was now in working order and planning for the new series commenced. <mask>'s illness necessitated that he sleep in hotels, rather than the living van the engine would tow during the trip. For the long distances between locations, the engine would be transported on the back of a low loader.<mask>'s engine suffered early mechanical problems; it could barely tow the fully loaded living van

As a result of this, every time the piston was fully forward it covered the steam inlet port. The engine was repaired, and with some minor repair work to one of the pistons, was brought up to full power. The team was joined by <mask>'s sons, Jack and Roger. The production crew made every effort to reduce <mask>'s workload. Changes were made to the filming schedule, to allow <mask> more time to rest at home between filming days. The crew visited the Forth Road Bridge and <mask> became the first man to drive a traction engine under its own steam across the bridge.Such pleasures provided a welcome distraction for <mask>, who was by then ill and in pain. By the end of June, he was so ill, he could not continue filming. He was sent home to rest and given medication to alleviate his condition, so that he could collect his MBE. Filming continued at various locations around the country, with sons Jack and Roger, who had become essential members of the tour, providing much-needed support for their father. By the end of July, the crew had filmed only 34 days with <mask>, out of a planned 60. It was becoming more difficult by the day for <mask> to fulfil his filming duties and the crew decided to cut short the schedule. Once home, <mask> decided to creosote the pithead gear in his garden, but fell and injured his back.He was adamant that he would continue filming, however, and made the trip to North Wales to complete filming. He later made a partial recovery and completed his last day's filming at an Ironworks in Atherton.

 Honours
In mid-2000, <mask> was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Technology for his achievement in engineering, by Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, and on 19 July 2004, he was made an honorary Doctor of the university by the University of Birmingham. <mask> was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 2004 New Year Honours for services to heritage and broadcasting. He said "I'm looking forward to meeting the Queen but I shall probably have to get a new cap. And I'd like to meet Prince Charles because we share the same views about modern architecture." On 7 July 2004, <mask> went to Buckingham Palace to receive his award from the Queen.He initially planned to drive his traction engine into the palace grounds, but was refused as the Royal Parks Agency feared that its weight would damage the surface of The Mall. Eventually, he was allowed to drive the engine to Wellington Barracks, a short distance from the palace. He collected his medal wearing morning dress and a top hat. <mask> was the Castaway on Desert Island Discs on 1 December 1991. Death

<mask> died on 6 November 2004, after suffering from cancer for three years. He was 66 years old. Eleven days later, thousands of mourners watched as <mask>'s coffin (on top of which his trademark flat cap was placed) was towed through the centre of Bolton by his restored traction engine, driven by his son.A cortège of steam-powered vehicles followed, as the procession made its way to Bolton Parish Church. During the hour-long service, David Hall told the congregation "He wasn't a posh TV presenter. He was recognised as a working man who had learned

Through his television work <mask> became famous for felling chimneys (by the time of his death he had felled 90), although it was one of his least favourite jobs. As he made more films with Don Haworth, his outspoken views on changing society, work ethics and delinquency, made him the embodiment of the views of many of his fans and epitomised the view of a northern working man. <mask> was praised by many notable British people.After reporting on his death, television presenter Peter Sissons remarked: "They don't make them like that any more". Comedian Peter Kay said: "It's very sad news. He was one of a kind and now he has gone I think there will be no one else like him. He was enthusiastic about a way of life that has virtually disappeared now." Brian Tetlow, chairman of the Bolton and District Civic Trust, said: "He's unique, not just to Bolton but to Britain and the world. Our thoughts are with his wife and children." An  bronze statue of <mask> was unveiled by the Mayor of Bolton, in Bolton town centre, on 29 April 2008.The sculpture was created by Jane Robbins. His home was converted into a heritage centre in 2010 but its contents were sold at auction in March 2018. A play titled The Demolition Man, based on his final years, was staged in 2011 at Bolton's Octagon Theatre.

<mask> (1952  21 September 1983), popularly known in the Mumbai underworld by his moniker <mask> (literally Elder Rajan), was an Indian mobster and underworld don from Mumbai. Originally from Kerala, he operated a gang active in Bombay's eastern suburbs of Ghatkopar, Tilak Nagar and Chembur. On 21 September 1983, he was shot dead by the Pathan gang because he had helped Dawood Ibrahim by instructing a gang member David Pardeshi to shoot dead Amirzada from the Pathan gang. Early years in crime
Rajan lived in a slum in Ghatkopar in the east Bombay. He hails from Kerala. He worked in a small factory in Thane. With mounting expenses and greed for excess money and to get the attention of his love interest, he got into the habit of stealing branded typewriters and selling them in Chor Bazaar.Once he was accidentally arrested by a police team in search of another criminal and served imprisonment. When he was released, he took to full-time crime in Ghatkopar, especially black marketing of cinema tickets, spurious liquor and extortion from shopkeepers. After a few years, a band of daring youngsters from neighbouring Tilak Nagar were released from jail. They were imprisoned on the charges of cinema ticket black marketing and beating up the police who tried to stop them. That group was led by Rajendra Nikalje alias Chhota Rajan. To increase his muscle power and clout in the area, Rajan welcomed Nikalje in his gang and they both were known as <mask> Rajan (Elder Rajan) and Chhota Rajan (Younger Rajan). They soon took over most of the crime in Bombay's eastern suburbs of Ghatkopar, Pant Nagar, Chembur and Tilak Nagar.Rise in the underworld

 activities and Karim Lala was focusing more on his hotel business. The vicious Pathan gang started by Karim Lala was weakened by a split between his nephew Samad Khan on one side and Dawood Ibrahim on the other. The third don, Varadarajan Mudaliar from Dharavi moved in to extend his hold over north-east Mumbai. <mask> Rajan often used his clout with Varadarajan to intimidate his victims and rivals like Abdul Kunju, Yeshwant Jadhav and Philip Pandhre. Just like his mentor, Varadarajan, <mask> <mask> started the Sahyadri Krida Mandal to celebrate the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in his area. In 1982, Samad Khan and his Pathan gangsters Amirzada and Alamzeb murdered Saabir Ibrahim, elder brother of Dawood Ibrahim.Dawood plotted revenge. He offered a big supari (contract for killing) to kill Amirzada but nobody came forward. <mask> <mask> saw his chance to rise in the underworld and accepted the supari. He had one of his junior gang member- an unemployed youth David Pardeshi shoot down Amirzada in the Mumbai sessions court on 6 September 1983. Murder
Malayali don Abdul Kunju had a bitter and long-standing enmity with <mask> Rajan. It all started when <mask> Rajan sent his men to assault some youth in Shell Colony, Chembur, for harassing a woman typist. This incident developed into a deadly rivalry with Kunju.Both Kunju and Rajan had sworn to kill each other. Aware of Rajan's enormous power in the areas between Ghatkopar and Matunga, Kunju realised that he could not fight the Rajan gang on his own. Therefore, he allied himself with <mask> <mask>'s rival, Philip Pandhare. Pandhare's gang was further strengthened when Vijay Sawant and Francis Xavier, also known as "Shorty", from Pestom Sagar enlisted with them. After Amirzada Nawab Khan was killed outside

 the sessions court premises on 6 September 1983 by <mask> <mask>'s hitman, David Pardesi, Kunju switched sides and allied himself with Kalia Anthony and Mahesh Dholakia of the Karim Lala gang to murder <mask> Rajan. Kunju's neighbour, an autorickshaw driver named Chandrashekar Sapaliga, who was looking to make Rs. 5 million for his sister's wedding, was hired for the job.He was introduced to hotelier,
Mahesh Dholakia at Caesar Palace. Dholakia offered around Rs. 5 million as "supari" (murder contract fee) and promised to give the entire money on successful killing of Rajan. Sapaliga left with only Rs. 1,00,000. The next day, Kunju provided Sapaliga with a revolver, and converted an isolated spot near Vikhroli Park site into a firing range. He was trained for the next 15 days by Ramesh Pujari, Mangesh More and Francis a.k.a."Kaliya Anthony" (Blackie Anthony). In a daring operation, Sapaliga dressed as a naval cadet with his gun hidden in the cavity of a thick book, stalked <mask> Rajan outside the Esplanade court and shot him dead. The hit was carried out on 21 September 1983, exactly 15 days after Amirzada's murder. Sapaliga was caught on the spot, but managed to escape while he was being escorted to the Thane prison and was killed by the rivals later (though the police claimed to have him dead). Retribution for murder
The murder of <mask> Rajan dealt a devastating blow to his gang. His right-hand man and successor, Chhota Rajan was shattered at the loss of his mentor and swore retribution against the assassins. It was well known that Abdul Kunju was a cricket enthusiast and often managed a good-sized crowd to come and watch him play.This gave Chhota Rajan the opportunity to use Kunju's own passion against him. During one such match in 1985, as

 Kunju hit a boundary, three young gangsters dressed in T-shirts and sneakers, including Sanjay Raggad, Sadhu and Chhota Rajan himself, entered the arena on the pretext of retrieving the ball. After doing so, they walked right up to Kunju, pulled out their guns and shot him dead at point-blank range. Another report suggests that Chota Rajan sent Sanjay Raggad and Vijay to shoot down Kunju when he was watching a volleyball match. On spotting the two assailants, Kunju fled the match venue with the duo in pursuit. Eventually, Raggad and Vijay sprayed an array of bullets into Kunju's body that left him dead. After Kunju's death, Dolakia went back on his word and refused to deliver the remaining Rs.4.90 million, leaving the now fugitive Sapaliga helpless and on his own. In desperation, he turned to the Thane-based goon Abdul Majid for help. Majid invited him over for a treat at a bar in Thane, which in actuality was owned by Sadhu. Sapaliga got very drunk and stayed at the bar overnight. In the meanwhile, Sadhu tipped off Chhotta Rajan to his whereabouts and Sapaliga was woken up at around 4 a.m. by <mask>'s henchmen. He was then driven in a Fiat car to Dawood Ibrahim's younger brother, Noora's hideout at Nagpada. There he was viciously interrogated, tortured and subsequently murdered the next day.In popular culture
 The 1991 Malayalam film Abhimanyu was inspired by the life of <mask> Rajan; and is loosely based on his biography. In the film, Mohanlal plays a Malayali immigrant who becomes a Mumbai underworld don and is eventually shot dead. References

<mask> (March 22, 1816 – December 14, 1872) was an American
landscape painter and engraver born in Cheshire, Connecticut. A member of the second generation of the Hudson River School of artists, <mask>'s signature works are landscape paintings of New England and New York State, whose clear light and serene surfaces celebrate transcendental qualities of nature, and are associated with Luminism. <mask>'s early work owed much to the influence of Thomas Cole, but was from the outset distinguished by a preference for cooler colors and an interest in less dramatic topography, favoring restraint in both palette and composition. The work of <mask>'s maturity features tranquil scenery depicted with a spare geometry, culminating in series of paintings in which coastal promontories are balanced against glass-smooth water. He was a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Biography
He was born on March 22, 1816. <mask> attended school at Cheshire Academy, and studied engraving with his immigrant father, <mask>, and later with his uncle, Alfred Daggett.He worked as engraver in the New Haven area until about 1838, then went to work as a bank note engraver in New York City. In 1840, along with Asher Durand and <mask> Casilear, <mask> traveled to Europe in order to study painting. There he met and traveled with Benjamin Champney. The two sketched and painted throughout Europe, refining their talents. During this period, <mask> developed an appreciation and affinity for 17th century Dutch landscape painting. <mask> and Champney returned to the United States in 1847. Established studio

texts: extensively throughout the Northeast and the Colorado Rockies as well as making several trips back to Europe.<mask> is best known for his landscape of upstate New York and New England and seascapes of coastal New Jersey, Long Island and New England. He is most closely associated with the "second generation" of the Hudson River School. Along with Sanford Robinson Gifford, Fitz Henry Lane, Jasper Francis Cropsey, <mask> Heade and others, the works of the "Luminists", as they came to be known, were characterized by unselfconscious, nearly invisible brushstrokes used to convey the qualities and effects of atmospheric light. Such effects stemmed from Transcendentalist philosophies of sublime nature and contemplation bringing one closer to a spiritual truth. In 1848 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, and became a full Academician in 1849. In 1851 <mask> painted a monumental canvas of Mount Washington that has become an icon of White Mountain art. Mount Washington from the Valley of Conway was purchased by the American Art Union, made into an engraving by James Smillie, and distributed to 13,000 Art Union subscribers throughout the country.Other artists painted copies of this scene from the print. Currier and Ives published a similar print in about 1860. This single painting by <mask> helped to popularize the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. <mask>'s style evolved gradually, from the traditional Hudson River School manner in the 1850s into the more refined Luminist style in his later years. By the early 1870s <mask> was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island, on Long Island Sound near

 Darien, Connecticut. It was during this time that <mask> painted some of his finest works. Many of these were spare and luminist seascapes, the prime example being Eaton's Neck, Long Island (1872) now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.The artist was widely acclaimed and financially successful during his lifetime. In turn, he was generous in support of the arts and artists. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the founder and president of the Artists' Fund Society, and a founder and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Death
<mask> contracted pneumonia (perhaps during the attempted rescue of Mary Lydia (Hancock) Colyer, the wife of his friend and fellow artist Vincent Colyer in Long Island Sound) and died of heart failure at his New York studio in December 1872. <mask> is interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. In 1874 <mask>'s brother Thomas gave thirty-eight of his paintings to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which half remain in the collection. Legacy

<mask> (1819-1893) was consul of the United States of America in Liverpool during the American Civil War. He was instrumental in leading efforts by the Federal Government to prevent British involvement in the war, and in particular in preventing blockade runners from Liverpool, such as the CSS Alabama, from assisting the Confederate war effort. Early life

Family and childhood
<mask> was born in Burlington County New Jersey on October 9, 1819 to Evan and <mask>. <mask> died when <mask> was two years old. He was raised as a quaker by his mother. <mask> was the youngest of four children. Marriage and children
On March 4, 1846 <mask> married Emaline Matlack.They had four children together named Edward, Mary, Ellen and Henry. The youngest, named after <mask>'s idol, Henry Clay, died at the age of two. Early career
<mask> began his career as a school teacher and later began to study law under William N. Jeffers in Camden, New Jersey. He was admitted to the bar in 1845. As a lawyer he was active in anti-slavery affairs. His first case found him disguising himself as a slave trader to retrieve a free black mother and her children from southern slaveholders. <mask> was successful in his rescue attempt and was assisted by funds amassed by The Society of Friends, a Quaker organization located in Camden.By 1850, <mask> had held more prominent local positions like the city treasurer of Camden, the city solicitor, and chairman of the New Jersey executive committee for the Republican Party. Health
In March 1856, when he was 37 years old, <mask> was involved in an accident involving a fire aboard the Steamboat New Jersey. As a result of this fire, fifty people died. When <mask> was pulled from the steamboat, he was near death. While he did ultimately recover, he was plagued by health and nervous system issues for the duration of his life. These health issues ultimately contributed to his decision to be stationed in Liverpool for his tenure as consul.

 Political contributions
In 1852 <mask> was appointed as a member of the Whig State Executive Committee and contributed to Winfield Scott’s campaign.By 1860 he had become chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee of New Jersey. <mask> was eventually chosen as delegate-at-large for New Jersey at the Republican Convention in 1860. <mask> campaigned for Abraham Lincoln and worked to persuade the delegates from New Jersey to vote for Lincoln. <mask>, a Republican who fought for the protective tariff plank and was against slavery, was pivotal in the election of Abraham Lincoln and according to David Davis, another member of the Republican State Executive Committee stated, “Few men … deserve more at the hands of the administration.”  Another New Jersey delegate, Charles P. Smith, also stated that, “as a fact beyond contradiction, that had it not been for [<mask>’s] services, Mr. Lincoln would not have been nominated.”

American Civil War

Appointment as Consul
After Abraham Lincoln’s election as president he offered <mask> the choice between an official appointment as Minister of Japan or Consul at Liverpool. Lincoln hoped that <mask> would take the post as Minister of Japan because he planned to appoint Gustave Koerner to the Consulship at Liverpool. Ultimately, <mask> chose the Consul at Liverpool because of the availability of superior medical advice that he needed for the duration of his life as a result of the steamboat accident in 1856. <mask> and his family traveled to Liverpool on the steamer Africa and arrived on November 19, 1861.He assumed his duties on November 20, 1861. He appointed Henry Wilding as his Vice Consul. Spy efforts during the War
During the American Civil War (1861–65), consul <mask> made strenuous efforts to prevent ships from Liverpool from breaking the United States Navy blockade of Confederate ports. Upon his arrival to Liverpool, the steamship Oreto was the first ship he noticed that had Confederate ties.

texts: He sent proof that the Oreto was owned by the Confederates to William H. Seward and Charles Francis Adams. Great Britain remained officially neutral throughout the war but there were many Confederate sympathizers in Liverpool. The commerce raider CSS Alabama was a screw sloop-of-war built for the Confederate States Navy at Birkenhead in Merseyside in 1862 by John Laird Sons and Company.She was eventually sunk by the  in 1864. As Consul <mask> was responsible for reporting over 120 suspicious steamers to the United States in addition to a large number of sailing vessels. The British required proof of <mask>’s allegations that there were ships being built to aid the Confederates. One of <mask>'s tasks, as Consul, was to provide this proof and prepare the legal case. He used affidavits as his primary source of evidence. These affidavits specified the features of the questionable ships to determine if they were made for war, and confirmed that James D. Bulloch had a connection with the Confederate government and played a role in the materials that were used on the boats in the shipyards. <mask> also hired a private investigator, Matthew Maguire.In his role, Maguire would locate citizens like Clarence Randolph Yonge, the paymaster on the USS Alabama, to testify as witnesses in the legal cases. Through <mask>’s legal work, he was responsible for the detainment of many prominent Confederate ships housed in the Liverpool shipyards like the U.S.S. Alabama and the gunboat Alexandria. <mask> wished to retire after the war and return to his law practice in New Jersey, but such was his knowledge of Confederate assets in Liverpool that he stayed on as consul, seizing Confederate ships and returning the proceeds of sale to the victorious United States Government. Relations between Britain and the United States were tense after the war, in part because of the role of Liverpool blockade runners and the widespread perception in America that Britain had been

<mask> <mask> died at the age of 73 on April 15, 1893 of a massive heart attack in Broad Street Station in Philadelphia. Upon his death his eulogy, published by the Camden Post stated:Deeply religious in the Quaker sense, which makes each man alone responsible to his Maker and not to conventional ceremony, he was more spiritual minded than a practical prosaic lawyer and man of affairs would be taken to be, but never wore his heart upon his sleeve save to familiars. Hated by many through the prejudice and misconception engendered in political strife (as strong characters often are), misunderstood by many more because he would not stoop to conquer, he pursued the even tenor of his way in the respect and love of his confidants. Rarely heading public subscriptions, he was instant in good ways and works, and most of his generous benefactions were only known to the needy recipients.References

He is a three-time Premier League winner and has made the most Premier League appearances (322) by a German player. Huth was signed for Chelsea from the youth system of German club 1. FC Union Berlin in 2001 by Claudio Ranieri. He struggled to establish himself in the Chelsea first team and with the likes of John Terry, William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho ahead of him in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, he joined Middlesbrough in August 2006 for a fee of £6 million. He spent three years at the Riverside and after the club was relegated in 2009, Huth signed for Stoke City for a then-club record fee of £5 million. After a successful 2010–11 season for Huth which saw him play in the FA Cup Final, he was named as Stoke's Player of the Year.Under the management of Tony Pulis, Huth remained a vital member of the Stoke squad in 2011–12 and 2012–13. He also played regularly under Mark Hughes in 2013–14 before he suffered a knee injury which ruled him out nearly a year. He was unable to force his way back into the team and he joined Leicester on loan in February 2015, helping them avoid relegation from the top flight. Huth then joined Leicester permanently, helping them to win the Premier League title in 2016. Huth was also a German international, earning 19 caps and scoring two goals between 2004 and 2009. He was part of the German squads which came third at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2006 FIFA World Cup, both on home soil. Club career

 Chelsea. He made 20 appearances during that season, stating he was happy to stay at Chelsea. In the 2004–05 season, injuries restricted him to 15 appearances for the Blues. When the 2005–06 season started, Huth's chances of becoming a first-choice player at Chelsea in the near future seemed limited with John Terry, William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho ahead of him in the Chelsea squad. These were the preferred central defenders for Chelsea manager José Mourinho, who had succeeded Ranieri in the summer of 2004.Huth scored twice for Chelsea, with one against MŠK Žilina in a Champions League qualifier and the other against Birmingham City in the FA Cup. At the end of the 2005–06 season, Huth stated that he was unhappy with his lack of first team chances, prompting Middlesbrough, Wigan Athletic and Everton to submit bids for his services. He stated that he would join Middlesbrough after the 2006 FIFA World Cup after agreeing a five-year deal. Middlesbrough
On 13 July 2006, a proposed transfer to Middlesbrough was scuppered when Huth failed a medical. Middlesbrough continued to track Huth, and on 31 August he signed for the club for a fee of £6 million on a five-year contract. Huth had a tough start to his career at Middlesbrough as they lost 1–0 to Notts County in the League Cup. Manager Gareth Southgate stated that Huth was lacking in match fitness and decided to play him in a number of reserve matches.By mid-October, Huth had regained his fitness and played his first league match for Boro against Everton, which they won 2–1. He scored his first Boro goal in a 2–1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on 5 December 2006. Huth's progress in a Middlesbrough shirt, however, was halted when he picked up a foot injury in a training session. Scans later revealed that he had suffered a stress fracture and was out for six weeks. He made his return as a substitute in an FA Cup tie against Manchester United on 19 March 2007, but shortly afterwards he again picked up an injury in a 3–1 defeat against Aston Villa.

He returned to the side in December time and by February the team had been enduring a tough season and were in deep relegation trouble. Boro failed to improve and they suffered relegation to the Championship, losing 2–1 to West Ham United on the final day of the season.He played five league matches for Boro at the start of the 2009–10 season before he returned to the Premier League with Stoke City. Stoke City
On 27 August 2009, Huth signed a four-year contract with Stoke City for £5 million. He made his Stoke debut in a 1–0 win over Sunderland on 29 August 2009, replacing goalscorer Dave Kitson.

He then played in the FA Cup final against Manchester City as Stoke lost 1–0. After a successful season for Huth, he was named Stoke's Player of the Year. In the summer of 2011, manager Tony Pulis signed former England international centre backs Jonathan Woodgate and Matthew Upson, forcing Huth into playing in the unfamiliar right back position. After a series of poor defensive performances by Stoke, however, Huth returned to his centre-back pairing with Ryan Shawcross, going on to score his first goal of the season against Everton. In a match against Sunderland, Huth was sent-off for tackling David Meyler, although replays showed that he pulled out of the challenge. Sunderland took full advantage of the extra man and scored the only goal through James McClean.Stoke attempted to have Huth's red card overturned on appeal, but failed in their efforts. Huth scored twice towards the end of the season against Midlands opponents Wolves and Aston Villa respectively. His performances for the side prompted Pulis to open discussions with Huth over a new contract. In June 2012, Huth signed a new three-year contract with Stoke, keeping him at the Britannia Stadium until 2016. Huth fell ill at the start of August with viral meningitis. He made a full recovery soon after and played against Reading on the opening day of the 2012–13 season. Afterwards, he explained that he caught the virus whilst in the United States on Stoke's pre-season tour.Huth scored his first goal of the season in a 2–1 victory against Reading on 9 February 2013.

On 29 October 2016, Huth fouled Vincent Janssen in a 1–1 draw away at Tottenham Hotspur to concede his first penalty since January 2013. Huth remarked in an interview in November that he thought referees were getting penalty decisions wrong "a lot of the time" and felt he was being judged on "reputation".He admitted in a post-match interview on 2 January 2017 that his side were lucky not to concede a penalty when he brought down Adama Traoré in a goalless draw at Middlesbrough, a view not shared by Pat Nevin, watching the game for BBC Radio 5 live. Huth missed the entire 2017–18 season due to ankle and foot injuries, eventually opting to leave the club in June 2018. He announced his retirement on 11 January 2019, following speculation that he was set to join Derby County. He appeared in 326 league matches on the first two levels in English football.

He deleted his interactions with the game and apologised. Later that month, he was fined £15,000 and banned for two matches by the FA for the interactions, which were deemed "an aggravated breach."

<mask><mask> (March 4, 1867 – November 24, 1908) was the founder and leader of a communitarian group known as the Spirit Fruit Society. <mask> believed that jealousy, materialism, and the fear of losing another's love were at the root of much of the illness in the world. Under his direction, the Spirit Fruit Society sought to model and practice those beliefs. <mask> was born in Ohio and raised in the Lutheran faith. He moved to Kansas when he was 18 and embraced Seventh-day Adventism. He later attended college to become a licensed preacher. Eventually, <mask> came to believe that it was more important to put faith into practice helping others so he left preaching to study nursing and work in a sanitarium.He returned to Ohio in 1899 to start the Spirit Fruit Society, an intentional community based on his experiences, learning, and views. <mask> led the group for nine years before he died of appendicitis and peritonitis in 1908. <mask>'s commune survived for another 22 years making it one of the longest surviving communes in America. Biography
<mask> was born March 4, 1867 in Columbiana County, Ohio to a Lutheran father and a Mennonite mother. The ninth of 11 children, <mask> was raised in the Lutheran church and his early home environment was strictly religious. <mask> did not receive much in the way of formal education. His father died when he was six or seven years old so <mask> attended only elementary school.At the age of 17, <mask> went to work at his brother-in-law's harness shop in southern Ohio and, when they moved to Ottawa, Kansas, <mask> went with them. <mask> left his brother-in-law's home a year later and went to live and work on a sheep farm. The family he lived with were devout Seventh Day Adventists. During this time, he became convinced that their view of the

texts: Bible and its teachings were quite different than what he had been raised to understand, but he accepted their religion entirely. Although it is not known for certain, it is possible that the sheep farmer was the father of <mask> Blow, whom <mask> married in 1887. <mask> and <mask> attended Healdsburg College in California where <mask> received a license to preach. <mask> returned to Kansas to begin a career in preaching.After two years, however, faced with the prospect of being sent to teach in other areas, <mask> left preaching. He maintained that he wanted to do something "besides talk." <mask> felt a strong need to help the sick so he enrolled in a nursing program at the Battle Creek Sanitarium that was run by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Once, while working at the Sanitarium, <mask> was called to the bedside of a young girl for whom doctors had given up hope. When Beilhart prayed for her, she experienced a quick and complete recovery. <mask>'s conviction that faith healing was the remedy for illness put him in disfavor with the sanitarium officials and he was asked to resign. <mask> became friends with C. W. Post, who was a patient at the sanitarium, but Post was healed by a Christian Science faith healer, Mrs Elizabeth K. Gregory.In 1892, Post started La Vita Inn, a sanitarium of his own and brought <mask> on as an associate. The two men took instruction in Christian Science. Both Post and <mask> rejected the doctrine of the religion but they embraced the view that illness was an illusion and could be overcome by mental suggestion, prayer, and self-sacrifice. After the birth of their daughter, Edith in 1896, <mask> revealed that the father of both Edith and her older brother, Harvey (1893), was C. W. Post. Though Post offered him financial interest in La Vita Inn and his

 prospective famous breakfast drink, Postum, provided Beilhart he would stay and work at the Inn. Outraged at his friend's betrayal, <mask> ordered Post out of his house and left Battle Creek for Ohio. <mask>ema left <mask> and took the children back to her family in Kansas in 1897.This experience undoubtedly had a profound effect upon <mask>'s view of marriage. The Spirit Fruit Society

In 1896, <mask> returned to Ohio and settled in Lisbon, close to where he had grown up. In 1899 he decided to create an intentional community in order to practice his newly developed beliefs and to model this practice for others. <mask> also started two newspapers called Spirit Fruit and Spirit Voice that were distributed widely by subscription. The Spirit Fruit Society was incorporated as a religious organization in 1901. The stated goal in the incorporation documents was to, "teach mankind how to apply the truths taught by Jesus Christ". <mask> made no effort to solicit members for his commune other than through his newspapers and sometimes rejected applicants when he felt they were not fit candidates.The commune attracted only about a dozen residents – mostly from outside the Ohio area. <mask> preached in Chicago and elsewhere, but was not known to proselytize strongly; however, although the group typically kept to themselves, their mysterious nature led to misconceptions and suspicion in the press. In 1904, numerous newspaper articles and editorials were written, mostly in Chicago, about the Society. Those articles were often sensationalist and served to put the Society in a bad light. The views and practices of the Society, particularly those against marriage and promoting free love, were not well accepted in the small Ohio community. Thus, in 1904, the group left Lisbon for Chicago where

 they expected their progressive ideas might be better tolerated. Chicago and <mask>'s death
<mask> had preached in Chicago on a number of occasions and felt that the reception of the Society by that community would be better.Unfavorable publicity followed the group to Chicago however, and this period lasted only a relatively short time. In 1906 <mask> purchased the 90 acre "Dalziel Farm" on the shores of Wooster Lake. Owing to his beliefs against personal property, almost immediately after the purchase he had his name removed from the deed because he did not want anything in his name. In November 1908, returning from a meeting in Chicago, <mask> fell ill with stomach pains. He was diagnosed with appendicitis, and a surgeon was brought in. There is some discrepancy concerning the diagnosis once surgery was performed. One doctor indicated that his appendix was healthy while another maintained that it had ruptured.<mask> developed peritonitis and died on November 24, 1908. In accordance with his beliefs, the Society buried <mask> in an unmarked grave on the farm overlooking Wooster Lake. Although most of the area is now covered by a residential development, <mask>'s grave site has been preserved, surrounded by brush. Notes

<mask> was born in the Methodist Hospital in South Philadelphia. He attended Edgar Allan Poe Elementary School, Vare Junior High School, Central High School and Temple University in Philadelphia. <mask> spent his youth in a desolate neighborhood in South Philadelphia, dreaming about moving to New York.He finally arrived there in his late teens to study classical piano at Juilliard.

His first professional appearance was on the Lithuanian Furniture Company Radio Hour (Station WHAT) on which he rendered Irving Berlin’s “So Help Me.”

Wrote Stephen Holden in The New York Times: “While Noël Coward is no longer around to set the standards for a certain kind of sophisticated songwriting sensibility, Mr. <mask> nimbly carries the torch.” He displays his predilection for Coward-like wit and satire on such songs as “Cosmetic Surgery”, in which he sums up the surgical predilections of friends who are “getting younger than ever” with such dexterity.

Henry and Bobbie Shaffner, veteran members of ASCAP, wrote the lyrics and set them to the tune of the old Groucho Marx song, “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady”. <mask> and the Shaffners were inspired to write it after Clinton’s six-hour-long visit to <mask>'s New York studio, where he performed for the former first lady. Later, he translated the Shaffners’ lyrics to Yiddish, to create a version called “Hillary, Oy! Hillary!”
