Description: Rising Sun Aurora IN LAUGHERY CLUB CINCINNATI REDS SPRING TRAINING Postcard S413 Description Item ---------> Vintage Postcard Condition ---> Pre-owned ~ See Scan/sAdditional Information --> The name of Laughery Club most likely originated from its beautiful setting on the Ohio River, about half way between Rising Sun and Aurora, almost opposite Laughery Island so near Laughery Creek. The grounds consisted of about four acres of fertile bottom grounds of the O. H. Pate farm, formerly owned by his father, John Hyatt Pate. Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Pate, parents of Mary Pate Jones, had set up housekeeping on the farm in 1887. The land was purchased by George B. Cox, political boss of Cincinnati, and August Garry Herman, then owner of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, who in 1901 erected a fine building. The Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team did their Spring Training here in 1901 and 1902. O. H. Pate built the road from now Highway 56 to the club grounds. Many will remember the large stone post at the entrance with an arch over top, bearing the name Laughery Club. The club became famous in this community for its parties given for members from Cincinnati, Covington, and surrounding cities. Transportation to and from the above mentioned locations where made by river, charting such passenger boats as the Island Queen of City of Cincinnati or by railroad to Aurora where the people were transferred to the club by the Rising Sun and Aurora Bus Line. The Stoll Meat Company and D. B. Teaney Grocery of Aurora furnished the greater part of the meat and groceries for the establishment. Mr. Woods also recalled seeing his first fireworks at Laughery Club on July 4, 1908.
