His house was on the site where Hazel Edwards lives today. In the nineteenth century there was a hotel on the site that had a saloon in the basement that sold whiskey by the drink, by the bottle, or by the gallon. Many people in those days kept a jug at home for medicinal purposes. A gallon could be bought in a jug or the customer could supply his own container. If someone ordered a gallon the bartender always asked, "Do ye want it in a jug or not?"
