Dun Laoghaire Baths

2010-04-20T17:49:00.000-07:00

Bathing was very popular from the eighteenth century onwards. For example, Blackrock is mentioned in a number of books of the time as being an attractive bathing area for many Dublin inhabitants.

Two separate bathing areas in old Dun Laoghaire have been noted in maps dating from the 1790s. Sources mention baths in Kingstown being built by the Royal Hotel in 1828. They were probably removed to make way for the construction of the railway in 1836.

In 1843, John Croswaithe built baths on the corner of Scotsman's Bay. Originally known as the Royal Victorian Baths, they were only used by those who had the means to afford them. This is the site of today's Dun Laoghaire baths.

Crosthwaite lived in Victoria Cottage, which is now long demolished. It stood where the road now runs, in front of the present-day Dun Laoghaire Baths. Croswaithe Park in Dun Laoghaire immortalises his name.

Kingstown Urban District Council bought the baths in the late 1890s and renovated them between 1905 and 1911 at a cost of £12,000. This is when they became known as Kingstown Baths, and later Dun Laoghaire Baths. The current derelict Edwardian entrance dates from this time. Crosthwaite also built baths at Seapoint, which were privately owned.

Dun Laoghaire beach was also a popular bathing area. The beach was pebbly, but set up with terraces and sun loungers. Many old photographs and postcards show this to be a very popular area for bathing and recreation.

Philip Crosthwaite (1825-1903)

2010-04-06T06:24:00.000-07:00

Over the years, San Diegans have honored many of the early citizens of the area. Strangely, Philip Crosthwaite has received little recognition despite the fact that he played an active role in civic affairs from his arrival in 1845 until 1874, when he moved to his Baja California ranch. Even after 1874 Crosthwaite, who paid numerous visits to the city, continued to enliven the San Diego scene with his tales of pioneer days.

Crosthwaite came to San Diego by accident. The son of Edward and Rachel Crosthwaite, Philip was born on December 27, 1825, in Athy, County Kildare, Ireland, while his parents, residents of the United States, visited their homeland. On their return to America, Edward and Rachel left their young son in the care of his grandmother. At the age of seventeen he entered Trinity College in Dublin. In 1845 he traveled to the United States to visit his mother before completing his course at Trinity. While in Rhode Island, Philip and another student signed aboard the schooner Hopewell for a short voyage to the Newfoundland fishing banks. The college lark turned into a more serious matter when the youths discovered the true destination of the Hopewell, San Francisco. The two adventurers left the ship when it reached San Diego on October 16, 1845. The only eastbound ship in the port had but one berth available so the friends tossed a coin for the space. Crosthwaite lost and remained on the west coast for the rest of his life.

Like other foreigners in Mexican San Diego, Crosthwaite turned to otter hunting and became fairly successful. Sea otter abounded along the coast of Baja California and around the islands, and prime skins brought $40 each to the hunter. While on a hunt with four other Americans in 1846, Crosthwaite learned that war had broken out between Mexico and the United States. The group returned to San Diego and all five enlisted in the service of the United States for a period of three months. Crosthwaite served at the battle of San Pasqual, December 6, 1846, in a company with about twenty other volunteers. The Americans captured one prisoner, Vejar, in the fight. Philip saved the life of the prisoner late that day when an Indian with the United States force tried to kill Vejar.

In 1847 Crosthwaite served as second Alcalde for San Diego. The next year he married Maria Josefa Lopez and leased the San Diego mission property. When news of the gold strike in northern California reached San Diego, Philip went to the gold fields leaving Bonifacio Ignacio Lopez, his fatherin-law, in charge of the mission lands. None of the San Diegans who went north found their fortunes, but Philip did take out forty-seven ounces of the precious metal. When he returned home in August, 1849, Crosthwaite discovered that the infantry had taken possession of the mission despite his 1848 lease which still had two years to run. The census taken in 1850 listed Crosthwaite as Fillipe Cruz, occupation laborer, and showed that Philip, Maria, and their son lived with her family.

San Diego County held its first election on April 1, 1850. Crosthwaite opposed Agoston Haraszthy for the position of County Sheriff. Haraszthy won the election by a vote of 107 to 47. Although defeated for County Sheriff, Crosthwaite became the first County Treasurer when Juan Bandini declined the position. Years later, Ephraim W. Morse liked to relate the following story about Crosthwaite's term as County Treasurer:

... the law then required each county treasurer to appear in person in Sacramento anid pay over the money due the State and settle with the State treasurer, so [Crosthwaite] proceeded to Sacramento at the required time, paid over the funds due the State (somewhat less than $200. His traveling fees amounting to $300. He returned with more money than he took up .... ) But it is said the State treasurer suggested to him that under similar conditions it would be more satisfactory to the State if he should play the role of the embezzler and run away with the State funds before settlement day.

The City of San Diego conducted elections on June 16, 1850. The voters elected Charles P. Noell to a seat on the first City Council. Noell resigned on August 24, 1850, and the mayor called a special election which Crosthwaite won. He presented a certificate of election and took his seat, which carried no salary, at the Council meeting of September 9, 1850. Although Crosthwaite did not propose any significant legislation, he participated in a majority of the weekly Council meetings until the end of the term in January 1851.

In November 1851, after Sheriff Haraszthy gave the Cupenos notice that their herds would be confiscated for non-payment of taxes, the Indians of the back country rose up under the leadership of Antonio Garra. As soon as Jonathan Warner rode into San Diego and reported raids on his ranch and on the Hot Springs, a Volunteer Company formed to put down the uprising. Crosthwaite served as Second Sergeant in the Company. With four other volunteers, he brought a herd of horses, which Joaquin Ortega had offered to the Company, into town from the Santa Maria Rancho without encountering any hostiles.

At the first signs of trouble the San Diegans had appealed to the governor for help. The Hounds of San Francisco, a ruffian group, answered the call. The soldiers stationed in San Diego and the local volunteers restored quiet in the county before this motley crew left San Francisco. The Hounds knew this, but sailed for San Diego anyway as they had already hired a steamer. The citizens of San Diego received the group hospitably, and the Hounds went into camp in Mission Valley. Before long, reports circulated among the residents that the Hounds had begun to collect horses, some said by theft, for an unknown expedition.

The San Diego Volunteers had not yet disbanded when, on New Year's Eve 1851, several of them attended a dance. Around midnight Cave Couts, Captain of the Volunteers, told Crosthwaite that some of the

Hounds had come into town, probably to steal horses. Couts ordered Crosthwaite to take a few men and arrest any thieves they could find. Before long, they caught a man with a mule that belonged to Juan Bandini. The man, a Hound, admitted that the group planned to go into Baja California on a filibustering expedition with Isaac Van Ness as their guide. Crosthwaite detailed one man to guard the prisoner and with the other Volunteers continued to look for horse thieves. At the edge of the river, they found Van Ness and a man who identified himself as Sergeant Thomas of the Hounds. The patrol did not detain Van Ness, but decided to lock Thomas up in the Court House, the temporary jail, with the man captured earlier.

On the way to the jail, the group met the Captain and the First Lieutenant of the Hounds. When they asked why the Volunteers had arrested Thomas, Crosthwaite replied that Couts had ordered the arrest of any Hounds in town because they stood accused of the theft of horses and other property. The Captain tried to have Thomas turned over to him, but Crosthwaite refused, and the two prisoners remained confined for the rest of the night. At daybreak, the Captain went to the court house and demanded the release of his men. Once more, Crosthwaite refused. The Captain then threatened to take over the town and sent a man to Mission Valley to bring in the rest of the Hounds.

At this point, Crosthwaite learned that Lieutenant Thomas Sweeny and a company of United States Infantry had bivouacked at La Playa. Fearing the worst from the Hounds, Crosthwaite rode to the camp and asked for assistance. Sweeny placed his men under arms, then selected a sergeant and eighteen men to accompany him into town. Crosthwaite returned to town ahead of Sweeny.

When they arrived in town, Sweeny and his men found Crosthwaite in the Plaza with Judge James Robinson making arrangements for the court martial of the two prisoners. Sweeny placed his men in a building at the edge of the square and walked into the Plaza alone. At this moment, Lieutenant Watkins of the Hounds approached Crosthwaite and asked if he had not stated the night before that Couts had ordered the arrest of the men. Crosthwaite answered, "Yes". As he replied, Watkins called him a liar and struck at Crosthwaite, but he dodged the blow. Watkins then drew a pistol, leveled it at Crosthwaite and squeezed the trigger. The cap failed to explode. Crosthwaite grabbed a pistol from under his coat and shot Watkins in the thigh. At this, the rest of the Hounds opened fire on Crosthwaite from various points in the Plaza. One of the shots struck him in the pelvis, but he continued shooting until his gun jammed. When this happened, Doctor Ogden ran into the Plaza, picked up Crosthwaite, and carried him into a store. As the Hounds made a rush for the building, Sweeny signaled his men. They charged into the Plaza, and the Hounds slunk away. Watkins' right leg later had to be amputated. On January 24, 1852, the San Diego Herald announced that Crosthwaite "has so far recovered as to be considered out of danger." The Hounds, meanwhile, had returned to San Francisco on another chartered vessel.

After the departure of the Hounds life in San Diego returned to normal and the San Diego Volunteers disbanded. Crosthwaite continued his duties as County Treasurer and as Deputy County Clerk, a position he had assumed on May 23, 1851. His term as County Treasurer was not untroubled. On April 12, 1852, the Herald ran a letter signed "a taxpayer" which demanded an accounting of the fiscal affairs of the county, but no probe resulted. In 1852 Crosthwaite held all the San Diego County offices for a short time. All the other officials deputized him to act on their behalf while they attended a bull and bear fight out of the county.

Crosthwaite ran for County Clerk in 1853 but lost the election. That same year he opened a general store. On September 6, 1854, the voters elected him a School Commissioner. Then, in April 1855, he made a successful bid for the vacant post of Justice of the Peace, winning by just three votes. On October 8, 1855, Sheriff Joseph Reiner appointed Crosthwaite Deputy Sheriff for San Diego County. In 1857 he waged an unsuccessful campaign for the position of County Sheriff.

In addition to his civic and political involvement, Crosthwaite played an active role in San Diego's Masonic Lodge. He entered the Masonic Order on July 28, 1852, passed to the degree of fellow-craftsman on September 17, and to the sublime degree of Master Mason on November 4 of that same year. Late in 1853, San Diego Lodge No. 35 received its charter, after operating under a dispensation for over two years. Crosthwaite became the first Worshipful Master elected under the charter; his installation took place on December 27, 1853. The members of Lodge No. 35 elected Crosthwaite Senior Warden in 1855, when the army transferred Captain George Derby, the first Senior Warden, to the east coast.

In 1861 Crosthwaite left San Diego and took up residence at his newly purchased San Miguel Rancho near Ensenada, Baja California. He remained there, except for occasional trips to San Diego, until 1868 when he returned to the city to re-establish his residence. In the spring of that year, he visited his sister in San Andreas, California, where her husband Jeff Gatewood published the San Andreas Register. Crosthwaite proposed that Gatewood move his operation to San Diego which did not have a newspaper. Gatewood travelled to San Diego and found the people responsive to the idea. His press arrived on September 19, 1868, and the first issue of the San Diego Union went on sale on October 10, 1868.

Crosthwaite took on civic responsibilities soon after he returned to San Diego. On January 21, 1869, George A. Pendleton, the County Clerk, appointed Crosthwaite Deputy County Clerk. Then in September 1869, the City Board of Trustees appointed him Chief of Police at a salary of $60 per month, payable in gold coin.

In February 1869, Crosthwaite bought out the general store stock of Ephraim W. Morse and entered into partnership with Thomas Whaley. On February 27, 1869, the firm of Whaley and Crosthwaite placed an ad in the Union in which they announced themselves as the successors to Morse "at the old stand on the Plaza." That same week Crosthwaite visited San Francisco to purchase goods for the new enterprise. Apparently, Crosthwaite took quite a while to settle accounts with Morse, for the letters which Morse received from his San Francisco agents, Breed and Chase, between March and July 1869, contained many inquiries as to the state of the financial arrangement. Whaley and Crosthwaite did not do well in Old Town and after a year, in March 1870, moved to Horton's Addition. They still did not prosper, and, in April 1872, the enterprise failed.

On February 20, 1871, when he signed the Great Register, Crosthwaite listed his occupation as "under Sheriff". He retained this position until he left San Diego for Baja California in August 1874. He returned to San Diego for a short time and then, in October 1874, moved his family to their Baja California ranch.

Crosthwaite spent the next years building up the ranch, although he did make numerous trips to San Diego. On September 28, 1878, the Union reported that Crosthwaite had 700 head of cattle. In July 1882 he traveled to San Diego to receive a shipment of three white ducks and two peacocks for the ranch, and late in 1883 he had a number of windmills erected. A story in the Union on November 2,1891, stated that Crosthwaite and three of his sons owned 45,000 acres on which they had 5,000 cattle and 400 horses, and that for the past five years the Crosthwaites had furnished all the cattle butchered for the Ensenada market. In December 1894, Crosthwaite appeared before the Equity league as part of a program on early San Diego. He spoke about his arrival in San Diego and about the Battle of San Pasqual. He visited Del Mar on May 29, 1900 accompanied by one of his sons. The next day the Union reported the visit and said:

Mr. Crosthwaite has a family of seven sons and three daughters, six daughters-in-law, three sons-in-law and forty-seven grandchildren. His home is in Lower California and from his house for thirty-five miles every house one sees on the road is a Crosthwaite.

Crosthwaite died in San Diego on February 19, 1903, at the age of seventy-seven and was buried in an unmarked plot in the Masonic section of Mount Hope Cemetery. In 1968 the members of Masonic Lodge No. 35 decided to locate the grave and place a memorial headstone. After a thorough search of old maps and papers they identified the plot as Lot 7, Grave 5, Section M. On June 8, 1968, the Masons placed a rectangular marker of polished rainbow granite on the site in honor of Philip Crosthwaite, the man who had played such an active role in the early history of Lodge No. 35 and of San Diego.

Surname: Crossthwaite (SurnameDB.com )

2010-04-05T14:40:00.000-07:00

This name is of Northern English locational origin from any of the several places thus called, for example, Crosthwaite in Cumberland, Westmoreland and the North Riding of Yorkshire. The latter two were first recorded as Crosthwait in Early Charter Rolls, dated 1190 to 1201, and the former appeared as Crosthwayt in Episcopal Registers of Cumberland, dated 1233, and as Crosthweyt in the 1246 Fine Court Rolls of that county, other variations of the name are Crosswaite and Crossthwaite. The name, in all cases, derives form the Olde Scandinavian "kross" (Old English "cros"), a cross, plus the Scandinavian "thveit", a cleared meadow. The English dialectal term "thwaite" means a low meadow or cleared piece of land hence, "clearing by a cross". The surname was first recorded in the early half of the 14th Century, (see below). On December 19th 1590 Elizabeth Crosthwaite, an infant, was christened in Little Ouseburn, Yorkshire, and on December 8th 1647 Thomas Crosthwaite was christened in St. Michael Spurriergate, Yorkshire. One, Richard Crosthwaite of Kirkby Kendall, was entered in "The Lancashire Wills Records at Richmond". The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John de Crosthuaite, which was dated 1332, in the "Subsidy Rolls of Cumberland", during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling
