<div id='decryptedDetailsBox' style='display:block;'></div><p>The Mustill Store is well stocked with local history.</p>
<p>Dating back to 1847, the Akron grocery and butcher shop catered to customers from near and far as more than 50 canalboats passed daily through Lock 15 along the Ohio &amp; Erie Canal.</p>
<p>English immigrants Joseph and Sarah Mustill lived in a Greek Revival house at Lock 15 and operated the one-stop shop.</p>
<p>They were succeeded by their son Fred and his wife, Emma, and grandchildren Maria, Frederick, Edwin and Franklin Mustill.</p>
<p>As the Cascade Locks Parks Association prepares to reopen the landmark for the season Saturday at 248 Ferndale St. (off North Street), we decided to dig up some 19th century anecdotes about the store from the Summit County Beacon, Akron Beacon Journal and Akron Daily Democrat.</p>
<p>Be sure to visit the Mustill Store — it’s free to the public — to create anec­dotes of your own.</p>
<p><strong>Floating sale</strong></p>
<p>Local authorities impounded the canalboat May Queen at Lock 15 in October 1857 because its captain owed money to Fred Mustill.</p>
<p>To satisfy the debt, Akron Constable J.J. Wright listed the following property for sale on Oct. 24: One canalboat, one bay horse, one bay mare, two poles, one table, three stools, one boat lamp, one cook stove, two jugs, one oil can, one tow line, one ax and one shovel.</p>
<p><strong>Happy nuptials</strong></p>
<p>The Mustill home was the scene of a grand party Dec. 29, 1875, following the marriage of Maria Mustill and Charles Marquardt at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.</p>
<p>“The entertainment got up at the residence of the bride’s father, for the benefit of the guests, was all in appearance that a person of taste could wish, and in substance and variety that a gourmand could desire, English dishes predominating and in great profusion,” one reporter noted.</p>
<p>“It was at a late hour that the friends and relations left Mr. Mustill’s hospital roof, with many blessings upon its inmates and especially upon the young married couple just starting out on the journey of life.”</p>
<p><strong>Quite a mishap</strong></p>
<p>North Howard Street resident Sarah Cramer suffered “quite a mishap” late Nov. 24, 1877, while returning home from a friend’s house on the west side of the canal.</p>
<p>As she crossed at Lock 15, the shimmering reflection of a light from the Mustill residence caused her to lose her bearings and she stepped off into the lock.</p>
<p>“Her cries for help soon brought one of the neighbors to her assistance and she was quickly rescued from her perilous situation,” the Summit Beacon reported.</p>
<p><strong>A right royal time</strong></p>
<p>Nearly 200 people attended “a gay party of friends and neighbors” as Frederick Mustill celebrated his 57th birthday Dec. 9, 1879, on the same day that his daughter Maria turned 27. Mustill’s children presented him with an easy chair and overcoat while he gave his daughter a $20 gold piece.</p>
<p>“The evening passed most pleasantly and the guests expressed themselves as having a right royal time,” a columnist noted.</p>
<p><strong>Close call</strong></p>
<p>Look out below! The foot bridge at Lock 15 fell into the canal May 18, 1883, carrying portions of the abutments of the lock along with it.</p>
<p>“Navigation is stopped, and some damage done to the canal,” the Beacon reported. “No one was hurt, although a man had just crossed over before the bridge fell.”</p>
<p><strong>What a hooligan</strong></p>
<p>Fred Cooney, “an incorrigible small boy,” was arrested Sept. 7, 1886, after he pried open a cellar window at the Mustill store and stole two boxes of cigars, some plug tobacco, pocketknives, eyeglasses and 35 cents.</p>
<p>An Akron officer followed the boy to his North Street home where he was smoking a stolen cigar. Authorities recalled that the last time the boy was charged with theft, he ended up picking the pockets of all inmates in the city jail. For the latest offense, he was sentenced to the Ohio Reform School in Lancaster.</p>
<p><strong>Partners in crime</strong></p>
<p>Frederick Mustill notified authorities in October 1886 that merchandise was missing after a “frowsy-looking couple” named Albert and Hattie Coulter had been seen lurking around Lock 15.</p>
<p>Authorities tracked the couple to New Portage.</p>
<p>“They were living in a tent made in part from 20 yards of muslin stolen from Mustill,” the Beacon Journal reported. “The other articles, a coat, a pair of pantaloons, a lamp and an oil can were found in the tent, and the couple were put under arrest.” They pleaded guilty to larceny and were sentenced to 30 days in the Cleveland Workhouse and were fined $10.</p>
<p><strong>Watch the birdie</strong></p>
<p>Polly want a newspaper? “Frederick Mustill, who resides at Lock 15, has a parrot which, when the Beacon is thrown on the porch by the carrier, cries out in a loud voice, ‘Beacon,’ ” the weekly edition reported Nov. 26, 1890.</p>
<p><strong>Canal tragedy</strong></p>
<p>The body of Hickory Street resident John N. Evans, 64, was found floating just below Lock 15 on April 30, 1892.</p>
<p>He had gone missing three nights earlier, apparently falling into the canal at Lock 11. The case was ruled an accidental drowning.</p>
<p>“The following property was found on the body of the deceased,” the Daily Democrat reported. “About $9 in cash; two promissory notes, one for $25 and one for $113, a pair of gold spectacles and a pocketknife.”</p>
<p><strong>Muddy sheet</strong></p>
<p>Frank R. Mustill, who operated a cigar box factory near Lock 15, made the mistake of telling his buddies that he was afraid of ghosts.</p>
<p>As a result, a figure in white startled him several times during nighttime strolls on North Howard Street in August 1892.</p>
<p>“The performance has been kept up regularly since Monday night, and the ghost, if it reads the Daily Democrat, should take notice that the sheet used it getting soiled trailing through the wet weeds and grass, and a clean one will make its appearance more presentable,” a reported noted.</p>
