When you wore a tulip, a big yellow tulip.
And I wore a big red rose........
It is a warm June evening. Maybe the
year is 1912 maybe 1915. The music
drifts down Deer Creek from Kitty Taylor's
to the Pine Street Suspension Bridge.
Draped over the railing listening to the
rinky-dink piano are some very proper NC
ladies from the town's better homes and
gardens. They know that soon the piano
_ playing will stop, the piano player will
pick up the latest rag time sheet music
from SF, join the proper young ladies waitting on Suspension Bridge and be gaily off
toa Piety Hill home for more rag time music
playing. The talented young pianist is Mike
Hyman, son of the pioneer NC merchant.
It was Wilson Mizner who said that a true
man of distinction was one whowas always
welcome.in.the best-homes and houses.
Mike Hyman was such a musical gentleman. There was no stigma that he played
for girls andthe ladies in different parts
OF TOWN ack.
THE MUSIC DRIFTED DOWN DEER . CREEK

The Pine Street Suspension Bridge . However, those are not young ladies on the
bridge but members of the SF Bicycle Team.
Thebad of Spring Street was twice destroyed by firethe good of Spring Street survives to this very day the
first Baptist Church, now the Eddie Powell residence.
Spring, with its view over Piety Hill, was noted for its
excellent residences all destroyed in a series of disastrous fires.
Minerva Lester Powers, the famous beauty who died
but two years ago, used to excitingly describe the Spring
Street of her youth. She was the grandaughter of Zeno
Philosopher Davis, who built part of the National Hotel.
As achild she used to pump the bellows for the forge
used by Lester Pelton in the construction of his world
famous Pelton water wheel. This experimenting and
wheel manufacturing in the basement of Grandpa Davis’
gun shop in the alley down Spring called Cabin Street.
Grandpa Davis donated the land and $500 in 1855 to
start the first Baptist Church. And when the fires came
and other churches were destroyed the Baptists said to
one and all our church still stands it is for all to use
as a place of worship.
Minnie Davis was delighted when Pelton at last perfected his wheel and used one of the first to replace the
bellows for the need air in the forge and Minnie became
happily unemployed.
Allan Foundry still stands on Spring, but No. 90 Spring,
the residence of Henry Plumer was destroyed. History
repeats and to-day the good remains the bad is gone.
Kitty. Taylor ? Alone at last she sleeps
in the pauper's field in Pine Grove Cemetery. One kindly gentleman passed the
hat. for donations so she could be buried
inacommon pine box. And six others volunteeredto carry and lower her into her
finalresting place. But death and time are
the great common denominators. The fine
caskets and monuments of her patrons in
more select parts of Pine Grove will
crumble intocommon dust just as surely as
Kitty in her pine box.
