Notes for CHESTER JAY BASTRESS:
Chester worked for 27 years as a drop forger at the Keystone Forge, Northumberland, PA. He had the gift of
"water witching" or "dousing." Chester was a member of the August Baptist Church and was a bell ringer for
years.
Chester and Lester were twin brothers.
The brother's got to watch President Herbert Hoover's motorcade come through Northumberland on Duke Street.
While working for Keystone Forging the brothers got to go see President Harry S. Truman's Presidential train. The President's daughter, Margaret, came out on the platform on the back of the train and waived to everyone.
Edible treats were sassafras root, birch bark, and yellow May apples.
The twins earned spending money by selling moleskins for five cents a bundle. At the Blue Hill canal bed, moles were stomped on. A hollow tree was laid on top of canal lock. A wire was strung across inside the tree with fire lot on one end to dry moleskins. Licorice root was bought at a store for one cent a piece with their earnings.
