  	The first electric street lights turned on
  	"When the first electric lighting in Phila. (Market street) was installed in 1882 Mother took us two older children to see it the first night. It was a gala affair with a large turn out of the people." - John T. LANDOLT
  Confirmation	1888	Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA   [3, 6]
  	and baptised along with his sister Anna at St. Paul's Luthern Church
  	"I still remember my confirmation clothes. I was 14 years of age  and it was the first clothes either my Sister or I had ever received that were store clothes as Grandmother always made them. I can still recall the argument Dad gave Mother and Grandmother because he wanted store clothes and they didn't, but he won out and that Sunday we were the proudest kids in the class. It was a gala occasion for us when after the services were over we set down the whole class with our Parents to a Confirmation dinner." - John T. LANDOLT
  Education	Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA   [3, 6]
  	During 1896 and 1897, he took a home study course in the Engineering School of the Scranton Correspondence School, finishing the 3 year course in 2 years. "...I had fitted myself by experience and study for my future work, having passed my examination with good marks but without a diploma as the school then was not authorized to issue them and I had made a number of good friends in the Engineering field." - John T. LANDOLT
  School	1890	Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA   [3, 6]
  	Took lessons at a theatrical school
  	"It was during this period when about sixteen years of age that I wanted to become a song and dance artist, knowing my Father's disposition I found a theatrical school located in the then known section as the Bowery, Franklin to 9th and Race and Vine streets and quietly began to take lessons. After four lessons Dad discovered it and gently but firmly stopped it. Thus another celebrity lost to the theatrical world." - John T. LANDOLT

  	The statue of William Penn was placed on top of City Hall

  	farmer and raised cattle on land he purchased
  	He had quit his job in Philadelphia, and moved his family to this farm in Hilltown Township in a major career change. He may have been influenced by his uncle, George A. BAGHURST, Jr., who was farming in the same township. However, he was unsuccessful in this venture. ". . . I bought a lemon, and in 1911 returned to Philadelphia dead broke, but a lot wiser as I lost everything. This was the first tragic mistake I made, and it hurt." - John T. LANDOLT

  	the Masonic Mozart Lodge #121
  	In 1931 he became a Master of the Lodge. "During 40 years of Membership I have enjoyed a wonderful Communion with Brethern and understanding that all human beings are many constituted alike, some are meek, others assertive, some lovable, some hateful and domineering. It is a great blessing to meet men on the level, treat them on the square, and measure them with the plumb line of truth." - John T. LANDOLT

  	He took part in an important event at the Franklin Institute
  	"It was the installation of the Pendulum Rod of the Equipment showing the degrees of swing of the Earth's Rotation through the Universe. This theory has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin by several Historians, but I only accept their account of it as written. This rod, 3/8 inch thick and about 90 feet long, was manufactured in Phila. of steel, coated and polished and was carried by Selected members of both the Engineers Club and Vulcan Assembly of Masonic Engineers. It was carried by the Members, forty in number with white gloves to prevent moisture corrosion, spaced on each side and staggered to prevent tripping. It was carried from Washington Ave. and 22nd streets to the Institute at 19th and the Parkway. The procession was preceded by a mounted Police escort and followed by the Members of both organizations, delivered to the Institute without bend or twist, bolted to the Cupola of the Rotunda and a pointed bob fastened at the lower end at the exact center of a six foot Circle, marked in Degrees. It was certainly wonderful the way it shows the swaying of the Earth. This was a memorable occasion for the Committee work, of which I was Chairman, but also the pleasure of the successful installation of the same." - John T. LANDOLT "Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. BINDER donated the Foucault pendulum at the Franklin Institute. It was installed on 15 February 1934. Eleven men held the 85-foot wire that holds the bob in order to prevent kinks from tangling it. They did so throughout a center city parade as they were guarded by mounted policemen." - Franklin Institute

• Notes

  "I can remember those days of my childhood when I and my sister Anna went to school . . . , and of course indulged in the usual childish pranks of the day, and were whipped at least twice a week by the teacher with a smack across the hands with a ruler and also by Dad if we brought home a misconduct note, with a good clobbering with a hickory stick, and we brought them or else, because either Mother or  Dad had to sign them and return them to the teacher. . . . We learned obedience and respect for authority." - John T. LANDOLT [6, 21] (Research):In the 1880 census his surname was spelled LANDOLL, and in the 1910 census it was spelled LANDOLD. [3] (Medical):Survived a heart attack in the fall of 1938 at age 64. [6, 11]
