On This Day in Yonkers History
Tuesday, October 11, 1941
The Reverend Alexander Leedie was ordained as a Catholic priest and was the first African-American from Yonkers or Westchester County to become a priest. Born in Mt. Vernon in 1912, his family relocated to 27 Culver St., Yonkers where he attended St. Peter's School, Hawthorne Junior High School and Yonkers High School.
He was ordained for the Society of the Divine Word and on October 12, 1941, he celebrated his first Mass, which was served by his father, Mr. Julian Leedie, who had taught his son to serve Mass some twenty years before.

The automobile speed limit in Yonkers was raised from 10 to 15 miles an hour after it was ruled that the 10-mile limit conflicted with state law.
Imagine racing down the road at 15 miles per hour in this beauty!

The lay out
And this happened yesterday...
Delivered and installed a 14' Yellow Pine banquette to a beautiful home in Tarrytown.
But to get it in place took a bit of sweat, LOL
Wouldn't fit through the front door so it had to be hoisted up the balcony.
It took our whole crew and then some, to get the banquette indoors.
Banquette in place
Adding the back board
All good
