HIRAM TARBOX
lich a post office at Tremont and was the only postmaster that Tremont ever had, having been appointed through Hon. Sahon 1. Chase, then Secretary of the Treasury under Abraham Lin- colt, to that position in September, 1861, when the Tremont post office was established. Messrs Win. A. Bedell and Jas. F. Bemnes, both long since having passed away, were his bonds- men. When on January 1. 1874. this section was annexed to the City and County of New York, the former Tremont post office became a branch of the New York post office, and Mr. Tarbox was appointed superintendent of the branch office, hokl- ing the position for nine years, thus making twenty-two years of continuous service. He had great faith in the future of upper New York City, and really did much to make the local- ny, by his pioneering work, what it is to-day. For forty years. Mr. Tarbox conducted the watch business in Maiden Lane. Nissan and John Streets and Broadway of this city, and was one of the founders of what is now the American Waltham
Watch Company, he having conceived the idea of producing watch movements by mactimery mistead of by hand. In INS44 le retired, thereafter giving his attention to interests nearer home. Ite was classed by the trade one of the brightest minds in His line. He was a born genius, and made some of the most !- tricate tools and machinery in the carrying on of his business. and being a very skillful mechanic, his mind naturally ran iz mechanical improvements, which resulted in much of his handi- work reaching the patent office at Washington. At the first World's Fair held in - the Crystal Palace on Forty-second Street (now Bryant Park), he exhibited many of his inven- tions which were totally lost in the destruction of the building- by fire in 1856. At the age of nearly 87 he perfected his last invention, intending to have it patented, but his untimely death. as proven later, made it impossible. In his religious views, Mr. Tarbox was a staunch Baptist, with a very liberal, friendly. open and kindly feeling toward all denominations. He, for about forty years, was a member of the Pilgrim Baptist Church of West Farms. of which The was both deacon
and trustee. A very amiable and thoroughly honest man, a gentle- man and a devout Christian, much beloved at home and every- where he was known, he respected himself and commanded the respect and admiration of his associates and acquaintance- Situated as he was, many of the troubles and vicissitudes in the life of other, came to his notice, and his charitable and kindly acts were exceedingly numerous and unnumbered. ex- tending in every direction. His helping hand and heart were always ready to aid the needy. Selfishness and he were total strangers. Mr. Tarbox passed away in July, 1904. in his &S ;: year, the result of a fracture of a hip bone caused by a fall :no months before. He had a wonderful constitution which en- abled him to fight so long for life while suffering terrific agony. and which was due to his temperate life and habits. Just prior to his death one of the leading surgeons in this city examined him and pronounced every organ in his body perfectly sound and in better condition than the majority of men at fifty years of age, proclaiming that he should have lived for over one hundred years. Ile maintained all of his faculties to the end. The Rev. Dr. Coker, who conducted `the funeral services, said that the world needed more men like him, and that there was no need of offering a prayer for such a pure and upright man. and his words were true. With the death of Hiram Tartox the last of the original men who settled Tremont passed away. He was survived by four children, two sons and two daughters : Hiram Thomas, a leading mechanical expert, of Boston. Mass. : Charles Wakefield. a real estate expert of this city; Mary C., and Sarah E .. now retired, but former very successful edu- cational teachers in this city, and one grandchild, Elsa Daven- port Tarbox.
HARRY SCHREYER, the well known director of the New York High School of Music, located at 1103 Boston Road. may be called with full confidence the musical pioneer of the Bronx, as he was the first man to establish a conservatory of music in the Bronx, early in the year 1870. . A great many of the very best musicians and teachers of the Bronx have during that time started with their musical education. under Mr. Schreyer. A tendency to rhapsody and impulse seems to be in . planted in the breasts of most eminent musicians, yet there are possibly very few musicians of his years who can ine upon so rich and interesting a career. Born at Arad. S ... ern Hungary, October 20, 185.4. of wealthy and honored parets he early evinced an abnormal musical inclination which cars great astonishment, most of all to those who followed the je .. fession of music At the age of from four to five years

played, without knowledge of notes or keys, such difficult pieces as Chopin's Waltzes, Mendelssohn's Lieder Ohne Worte, etc., etc., which he had heard his brother (eight years older ) playing. Had his talent been fostered he could easily have been a wonder-child like Mozart or Liszt, but his parents while being fond of music, had a pronounced prejudice against a musical career, therefore, would not consent to their child taking up the study of music until after he had passed his seventh year. From this time, however, he was a constant source of surprise to his teachers, for he proved the truth of the words uttered by Gounod which translated mean "The teacher can only bring out great results with great talent." In a brief space of time young Schreyer had consumed the knowledge of his teachers, and quite often was known to substitute his own fingering for that of the professor, but far more astonishing was his phras -- ing and execution of classical music. At about this time, Carl Taussig, perhaps the greatest pianist of all ages, who alas,
HARRY SCHREYER
died at the early age of thirty years, gave a concert in the boy's birthplace and the little fellow was brought before the great master, who declared, after hearing him play, "he had never heard so gifted a child," and expressed a desire to under- take his musical education, but this the mother would not do, but instead, placed her son who had previously lost his father, in a boarding school in Prague with instruction to prepare him for academical studies. But talent cannot be suppressed, and while young Schreyer made rapid progress in the direction de- sired by his mother, at the same time nothing could keep back the strong love of music, and it happened that one day, instead of attending school he went instinctively to the Sophien-Insel- Saal where Rubinstein was giving a matinee recital. We now pass over the years of Schreyer's scholastic days and come to a period when his mother desired he should take up the study of banking, but all to no avail, for the young man having no financial cares, would; instead of sitting quietly in an office, seck ont the first masters of the time such as Kreyezi and Heger of Prague, and Kullack and Taussig in Berlin. About the year 18to an irresistible power took him to Vienna where Anton Rubinstein was the conductor of a concert association. Rubin- stein, who, except during his early artistic career in Vienna, and later as director of the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music. never gave private lessons, allowed the young man to call at
his studio whenever prepared to play something for him. a favor seldom granted to others. When Rubenstein left Vienna, Schrey- er did the same, joining a concert organization which toured through Austria. At this period of his life, owing to the un- pleasant correspondence with his mother, who was much dis- pleased with the wandering life led by her son, together with an inborn desire to visit foreign countries, he decided to come to America, especially as he heard Rubinstein had been engaged tor a tour in this country, but fate prevented the young man from carrying out his designs until the year 1874, when, of course, Rubinstem had left. Noting the primitive state of musical instruction, the idea first presented itself to him of be- coming a pedagogue, and realizing this intention, a few years of hard work followed. Numerous pupils enjoyed his instruc- tion, among whom are to be found many teachers of repute. Meanwhile Mr. Schreyer himself enlarged his knowledge as a teacher, being aided by such well-known men as Dr. William Mason, Max Pinner and S. B. Mills. Later he was offered the position of Professor at the Grand Conservatory of Music, then the leading school in New York, and where Fradel, Bris- tow, Doppler, Sternberg, Lambert and numerous other cele- brated teachers composed the faculty. At this time, Schreyer, who was a pianist ot extraordinary ability, should have become a virtuoso of the first rank, but his unfortunate penchant to wander. and the fact that he had married a young American lady, ied him to accept the conductorship of a traveling opera company, thinking thereby to secure greater financial success. This no- made life precluded the possibility of practice and of his ever becoming famous as a soloist. . Tiring of this mode of exis- tence after a few years, Mr. Schreyer at the earnest solicita- tion of his mother, who has growing old, returned to Europe. and in 1883 we find him again in Vienna, where he was offered the post of director at a well-known conservatory, but not hav- ing been born in the city it was necessary for him according to law to pass a serious official examination before the State Board of Education which he did with excellence. As a result of this he was approved as director for any conservatory or high school of music controlled by the government. Shortly after he was accepted as an ordinary member of the most exclusive "Wiener Tonkuenstlerverein" an organization of such masters as Brahms, Goldmark. Bruell, Fuchs, Graedener, Rosenthal, Gruenfeld, Paderewski, Madame Esipoff, Schuett, Schytte, etc. There he also met such famous colleagues as Leschetizky, Door, Epstein, Hans Schmidt, etc., etc., with whom he steadily exchanged views regarding teaching methods, etc., which final- ly enriched and perfected his already great experience. Two years later, upon the death of Prof. Smietansky, Mr. Schreyer was offered and accepted the late professor's position in the famous Horak Piano School, where his lectures on piano in- struction were attended by many musical authorities. His suc- cess at this school is attested by the testimonial received by him five years later when he left to become director of a Hungarian conservatory, famous the country over. Here he proved an or- ganizer of great ability. so much so that other schools of the country sent experts to study his methods with a view to their adoption. This latter position was only given up in response to the wishes of his wife and family, who were desirous of return- ing to America. Mr. Schreyer yielded to those desires, but before finally doing so he made a concert journey through Eu- rope with his daughters also eminent artistes. After a trici residence the High School of Music was established and know - ing his experience and conscientiousness it is safe to predict for this institutfen a brilliant future as a mighty educationa! factor in this city, in a word, a success equal to his former en- terprises.
