Lawrence Lens Grinder Made Bill Cody's Specs
Bernhardt A. Keiser, 66, veteran Lawrence lens grinder, made lenses for Buffalo Bill Cody when the famous showman was alive.
Mr. Keiser, who has been in optical work for forty years and estimates that he has ground nearly 100,000 lenses, was at that time employed by the C. L. Merry Optical company (now the American Optical company) in Kansas City, Mo.
"Buffalo Bill was a personal friend of Mr. Merry and we used to do his optical work. His lenses showed that he had a bad pair of eyes and I always wondered how he won a reputation as a good rifle shot." Mr. Keiser said.
He is a veteran of both the Mexican border war and World War L having served in the World War as a band master o the 110th Engineers.
When asked why he decided to settle in Lawrence Mr. Keiser smiled and rubbed his close cropped white hair. "I was raised here," he said. "I can remember when there was a brewery in the 100 block on Maine street. Part of the old brick building is still there. I was within thirty feet of 'Old Sacremento' when she blew up down by the river in 1896."
Mr. Keiser enjoys telling of his early experiences in Lawrence. "Four people had drowned in the river and they were trying to raise the bodies," he recalls. "Someone had the idea that firing the cannon would do it. We had her loaded with mud, cans, and everything else we could find. Then she blew 150 pounds of iron out of her side—clear up through the top of the Bowersock mill."
Mr. Keiser, a student of engineering at the University in '04, '05, and '06, thinks that "all the fire has died in the feud between the lawyers and engineers." He even thinks that the old spirit has gone from the entire school. "We used to have May pole fights on May day and the hostages with barbed wire, then tar and feather them," he said.
Ben, as he is known to Lawrence residents, is an active astronomer. He keeps the telescope that he uses beside his bench at the Lawrence Optical company where he is employed.
For many years Mr. Keiser played the clarinet with bands in this area. "I used to play in St. Joe with Willis C. Maupin, the father of Rex Maupin who directs the band over the 'Breakfast Club.' Rex was just a kid then too" he added.
An average of 141.2 people live on every square mile of land in Europe. According to the World Book Encyclopedia, this is more than three times as many as in the United States, with only 44.2 persons a square mile.
