Tales of the Past By Frank Connor of Hemlock NY From the Livonia Gazette, 27 February 1931 Editor’s note: A section of this installment of Frank Connor’s series mentions Helen Mather of Minneapolis and her Grandfather Dr. Willard Doolittle. “Miss Helen Mather of Minneapolis has loaned to the museum a melodion which belonged to Dr. Doolittle. It was made in Hartford, Conn., in 1841. When played upon it was rested across the knees and pumped with the elbows. The story is told that Dr. Doolittle took it to the above mentioned church one Sunday and was refused admittance as it was thought to be a sin to take a musical instrument into a house of God. After a vote was taken the Deacons allowed him to enter and provide music. Times change.”
