‎ALBERT WILSON CONDON‎

‎1892 1893 ORIGINAL PAIR 2 OF MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A TOBACCO MERCHANT AND OWNER OF THE FIRST 5 AND DIME IN FREDERICK MARYLAND‎

‎FREDERICK MARYLAND. Good. 1892. On offer are two 2 original 1892 and 1893 manuscript diaries and 90 ephemeral pieces handwritten and once belonging to Albert Wilson Condon of Frederick Maryland both diaries have his name engraved written and/or stamped on them. Albert March 30th 1874 - May 16th 1940 owned the first 5 & Dime in old downtown Frederick and became sole owner of the Condon Tobacco Store. In the 1892 diary from January 1st to January 15th he has written poems and sayings. Then his trip to Washington D.C. falls in the month of September which he writes about. But he also rewrites a summary of that trip on the first pages of the diary January 16th through February 17th 11 full pages. He talks of surprising his father at the Navy Yard. He tours the Treasury Department Washington Monument Arlington Cemetery Lycern Museum Medical Museum Georgetown a Panorama show of Gettysburg the Capitol and more. Then more poetry and sayings through to June 11th. Then there are 2 pages or 8 days worth that are blank and finally on June 20th his daily diary entries start and he writes full entries for every day after that. Albert also does a fair bit of traveling for the business to the towns surrounding Frederick and also to West Virginia. However the 1892 diary starts out with a trip to Washington D.C. and then in the 1893 diary he attends the Chicago World's Fair but only writes "At Fair." Those are the only days that don't have full entries in the 1893 diary and they are from October 8th to the 26th of October. Otherwise the 1893 diary has a full handwritten entry for every day of the year. Albert does a super job detailing the local and current events and his thoughts: Lizzie Borden axe murder Democratic Conventions the hanging of 4 black men for the murder of a Dr. Hill the Ford Theatre in Washington D.C. collapsing killing many the suicide of a young woman in town and so much more. It's interesting too that on November 25th 1892 he writes "Stopped using tobacco" and yet he runs and owns a tobacco store. Here are some snippets: 1892 "June 21st 22nd 23rd & 24th The Democratic convention commenced in Chicago this morning and politics has been all the go today. Germen men start for the front but will get left��Today this town Frederick is all a stir as to who will be nominated on the Democratic ballot for President. Tyler Davis and Lay Magill are extremely excited. On this day the Democrats nominated their President who will not be elected. Mr. Cleveland was nominated this morning about 3 o'clock in the midst of an exciting mob during a severe thunder storm in which the lightening was extremely vivid�.Was an exciting day in Frederick as it was the day after the nomination of Cleveland and a ratification meeting was held at City Hall. Mckaig J. E. R. Wood Lay Magell and Fred _____ being the speakers." "June 30th On this day I left for my first trip to Sharpsburg. Went by the way of Boonsboro.

It was very dusty and I was feeling badly when I got home." "September 7th & 8th Left the Carter house and started for Middleway. This was the night that the great fight between Sullivan and Corbett was to take place for the championship of the world. Awoke in the morning only to find the Sullivan man feeling quite sore as Corbett had come out victorious in the 21st round. I went as far as Martinsburg. Attended a play at the opera house." "September 17th & 18th Went to Washington D.C. on the 6:05 train. Arrived in that place a little after 8 o'clock. Went straight to the navy Yard and found father there. Went through all the different shops there and down on the wharf�After breakfast father and I walked out in Arlington Cemetery and there saw Uncle Henry Condon's grave. He died in 1864. Also saw several other monuments and things of interest." "September 26th Arrived in Frederick on the 6:45 getting here about 7.

"October 31st I was so stiff and sore from riding on Sunday that I could scarcely navigate. I started on my W. Va. trip and reached Harpers Ferry by night.

I reached Charlestown Tuesday night. Had a fine time with E. C. Grubbs. Political affairs were ablaze in that town." "December 31st The last day of the year. I remained in Frederick all day. Bought a pair of ice skates. It snowed late in the evening and at night. Mr. Rice come home from his West Virginia trip. Mr. Davis is celebrating the last day of 1892." 1893 "January 13th I went to Burkittsville in the sleigh. It was a fine day and the sleighing was good. I had a very good time with Pfiefer girls. Four negros were hanged at Chestertown for the murder of Dr. Hill. I went to the hall at night. Fast mail." The following information in an article about Frank Brown who was the Governor of Maryland from 1892-1896: "The second of these instances was Governor Brown's commutation of the sentences of four Negro youths who had been scheduled to hang for the murder of Dr. Hill of Chestertown. Feeling ran high against the accused men. Brown had to exercise great secrecy in his investigation so that his intervention in the case might not result in further violence. Governor Brown not only visited the boys in person but he also examined the evidence exhaustively. Then he sent a State oyster boat secretly at night to Chestertown to take the four prisoners aboard and bring them to Baltimore. Finally he commuted their sentences. For a time residents of the Eastern Shore were bitter against the Governor for his interference and threatened to lynch the four Negroes. Better judgment however prevailed and the four men responsible for the crime were later apprehended and hanged" "February 7th Was quite cool. I staid in town. Mr. Rice was down to Rockville. At night I went to select dance given by the Rose Bud club and danced with Miss Conner. It was the first time I ever danced." "March 8th I started in my Mt. trip along with Mr. Smith.

Fore Paws Circus was in town. The town was flooded with people from the country. I went to see the circus in the evening. Took May. Saw the American Revolution which was as fine as silk. There was lots of people in town from down around home." "May 12th I stained the bath tub for Mrs. Pope. Went over it twice. Mr. Pope notified me that I could keep in the look out for another job as he could not afford to keep two men on the road. Put up 10000 cigs in the afternoon." "June 7th was a nice cool day. I drove from home to Frederick. The firemen had their large demonstration and there was one of the largest and best parades that was ever in Frederick. Their being from forty five to fifty five companies in line." "June 9th Was a clear warm day. I staid in town all day. The town was dead as all the firemen had pretty well left. The Ford's Theatre building in Washington collapsed and there was about 28 or 30 persons killed and 100 or more injured." "June 14th Charles Baker was in town. I staid around the store all day.

‎ALBION F. BALLENGER‎

‎1912 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A REBEL SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS PREACHER AND THEOLOGIAN‎

‎Sheridan and Winslow Illinois IL. Fair. 1912. On offer is a sensational significant 1912 manuscript diary handwritten by rebel Seventh Day Adventist preacher Edward Ballenger. While the diary does not have a name inside many other family members' names are mentioned plus there are other innumerable clues confirming ownership. Edward and his brother Albion are easily found in a number of online websites for their troubles within the Church and authorship of a number of books and mentions in many more books. Bio notes below details much of their story. The diary begins with Edward living in California and then in the summer he sells his ranch and heads back home to Sheridan and Winslow Illinois. He talks about his brother Albion and mentions Mrs. White. At the end of the diary in December there's a supposed suicide of a friend or family member which is thought to be a murder. BIO NOTES: Research finds that Edward Ballenger 1864-1955 and Albion Fox Ballenger 1861-1921 his brother whose original manuscripts #0001986 we list separately were raised as 7th Day Adventists and later became preachers. Albion started the "Receive Ye the Holy Ghost" movement which helped inspire the Holy Flesh movement in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and later was dismissed from the church. However after a trip to England on missionary work Albion started teaching a "new theology" and because of this and him turning away from the 7th Adventist Church he became somewhat of an enemy of the 7th Adventist movement. That's when he began writing books on the subject one being the original manuscript in the other archive listed and was even involved in a trial because of it. Online sources find "On Trial for Heresy The A. F. Ballenger Story" which is a very detailed history on both of the brothers; Edward and Albion. Another site provides: "Albion and Edward Ballenger were leading critics of the Seventh-day Adventist Church beginning in the early days of the 20th Century and carrying forward to the death of Edward. In Edward's latter years Donald Mote began helping him in his work. After Edward's death Mote continued the work until the early 1990's. The trio were primarily against the sanctuary view commonly held by most Seventh-day Adventists. They also opposed the authority and position of Ellen G. White. Besides tracts and small publications their main voice was "The Gathering Call" magazine." Here are some snippets: "January 1st We are still on the Cypress Ranch trying to sell but don't expect to be able to tell the crop is started. Ida's and Nellie's families are still at Tropico. Albion is traveling among the heretical and his family is at Riverside. Ethel is book keeper at Paradise. Pa is at Rellis for a week. Am taking treatment of Dr. Hoar three times a week. Have a smoke a little twice a night. I have cut down my magazine and expect to read more books this year." "January 9th Finished the water in the chicken yards and filled up the ditch. Mr. W. R. Miller came for me to go over to his place about 6. He and Mrs. M. had been having a racket. He was so drunk that he was foolish. He accused his wife of many things and among them of being familiar with other men. She kept very quiet. I don't think I accomplished anything. Yet I hope he may mention it to me when he is sober." "January 25th Set some gopher traps in A.M. Pa Em and I went with Milton Miller's to aviation park to see them fly. Mr. Miller took us in his auto for $1.50. Lincoln Reachy did some very fine and daring manoeuvrings. It was quite windy so much of the program was not carried out." "February 12th Fog and cloudy but no rain. Mr. Miller has been drinking hard. I went over and helped him feed the horses and got his bottle of whisky. Mrs. M. and her mother came over and slept here for fear of him." "February 17th Mrs. Miller came over before we were up with the baby and took breakfast with us staying till we went to church. He declared he would take the baby to the city with him. Em and I went to Centralia where I spoke on war and money. Had good freedom. Mrs. M. was with us most of P.M. She just insists on my going to the states attorney and helping her to arrange for sending Mr. M. to Patton for drunkenness." "March 24th Attended the conference in A.M. and spoke 30 minutes to the Japanese in the Gless St. Chapel in P.M. on Arming the Nations. My second experience in speaking three and an interpreter. Eld. Warren followed me. Bro. Blunt managed the affair. 13 Japs were present. Em and I came home in eve. Found two letters one from Albie the other from Bro. Pooler telling of Gust's death the 18th. He died very suddenly of apoplexy." "March 26th Had a good rain last week. Planted some radishes and lettuce in morning and then Em and I came to the Convention and to Tropico. Had Dr. Dreffenbacker pull a tooth of me. Dr. Hoare gave me another treatment. The convention closed today. Eld. Andross was elected P.M. convention president Reaser Reg. Lib. Sec. and Prof Lucas Ed. Sec. There was a pull for me but some one said I was unsafe." "April 7th Didn't have to smoke today. Em had a very restless night. Her neck didn't seem to be any better. Didn't do anything but keep house and take care of Em. Pa and Albion came out in eve to stay all night. Albion gave a reading in eve on "Spirit of Prophecy." He certainly has some new light on the subject. It is so foolish for our people to teach that Sr. White is the spirit of prophecy. Everyone has the testimony of Jesus who is a Christian." "April 20th Road my wheel to Artesia and Dr. Oatis took me to Norwalk. Spoke on Matt. 24:14. Had good freedom. Called on Maud Daniel and her father and Bro. Patton. Maud is quite discouraged and almost rebellious. Her father is very poorly. Confined to his bed and can hardly speak in a whisper. Sr. Foster brought me back to Artesia and I rode the way home. Very strong S.W. wind. Haven't had to smoke since the 4th and have gained 5 pounds." "April 29th Had to smoke but once. Mr. Will Miller has been drinking heavily for a few days and he was pretty badly used up today so he wanted me to go to the city with him to see a Dr. I took him to Dr. Leadworth and he gave him an examination. Said there was a little valvular difficulty but no serious organic trouble. Took him to Dr. Diffenbaucher to have a double set of teeth made. He felt pretty bad all day." "May 6th Didn't have to smoke. Had Mrs. King irrigate for me and I went to Bro. Uborall's funeral. He had an operation about a month ago and had a reaction which caused his death. Dr. Fullmer conducted the service and his wife sang two selections. The Dr. only talked about 15 min. and I never heard him do so poorly. I feel that I have lost a very warm friend. Bro. W. was in good condition spiritually. His niece Mrs. Frank Pomeri was there with her father. Albion was down and spent most of forenoon with him. Brought a new pair of rubber boots." "May 8th Irrigated all day or till 5. Then Em and I drove Miller's rig to Centralia prayer meeting where after a good meeting we took up 80 sub. for the 6 weeks. R. L. Signs and the absent members will probably raise it to over 100. United Hiram R. Kay age 48 to Helen Cargill age 50 in marriage. This was Sr. C's 3rd marriage. The church had been expecting it but the particular time was a surprise to them. Bro. Kay gave me $5.00 the first fee I ever received or took." "June 7th had to smoke about every 2 hrs. till after midnight then slept pretty well. Feel much better this A.M. This spell of asthma has been coming on for several weeks. Have been loosing weight for several weeks and my digestion has been poor. I have been greatly disappointed in not being able to sell. The irrigating has been very slow and while it has been easy I have dreaded it every day. I never was so anxious to sell in my life and yet I suppose it is best for me to stick to it for a time as it is poor discipline to run away from a job when it is in a discouraging condition��." "July 11th called to see Sr. Dayton about cancelling the mortgage and then came to Artesia to meet Em and sign the deed but when I came. Em told me the Young's were at our house wanting to back out so we came right home. Had quite a talk with them and finally they decided to take the place and he paid me $500.10" "August 1st Em and I came back to Tropico. I spent the day in the city. Bought my ticket to Sheridan for $47.05 via Denver Kansas City St. Louis and Chicago." "August 4th Spent the day preparing to go east. Took the Salt Lake at 8 P.M. Dave and Litta came to train with us. The partings were all very hard because of the uncertainty of my return but the saddest of all was the farewell to Pa at Riverside. When I saw the tears rolling down his cheeks it broke me all up. I hope I may regain my health so I can make a pleasant home for pa and show him the kindness and love he deserves. He has been more than a father to me. I didn't think Litta thought so much of us till we come to part." "August 5th Had a bad night. Had to smoke every 2 hrs. and then was very restless. I got all fagged out packing and would have had a bad night anyplace. Started out to be a very warm day. Crossed into Nevada a little after 8. It has been a sandy alkali waste with a variety of palm cactus at intervals. As we neared Utah the monotony broke and it got a little cooler. Had to smoke several times during day and felt very stuffy." "August 7th Had to smoke 3 or 5 times. At daylight we were 10240 ft. high in Tennessee Pass surrounded by snow and a heavy frost. The run thru the Royal George was fine. Had quite a thunder shower just before we reached Denver. Lightening struck the Catholic's Church and knocked off the cross. Reached Denver at 4 nearly an hour behind. Em and I went to the Colorado Tract Society 1112 Kalamath St. and then out to see the place. Em went on at 9:45 and I took a room at the Columbia Hotel. Have a large south room at $3.50 a week." He's in Denver until the 29th of August where he attends lots of religious camp meetings "August 29th Took the 7:15. C. B. & A. for Omaha and when I reached there I found I had to go right on or get to Kansas City late at night so I went right thru. Reached K.C. office but they had moved so I took a room and then went out to Electric Park. Saw a man run an auto around a wall 67 ft. in diameter with one wheel on a 90 degree L and the other on 75 degree L. They had a fine ladies band of about 40 nice modest Y.L. young ladies who played very fine. One girl played a comet solo as well as I ever heard. A very hot day." On to St. Louis then Chicago and now back in his home town of Sheridan "September 3rd In old Sheridan again. Didn't have a smoke. Rested fairly well for me. Ate no breakfast and took it easy all day. The folks all look quite natural. Amos is looking fine. Mother hasn't changed but very little. Lyde has turned somewhat grey and Vieve isn't very plump. Allie is about the same. Sheridan is the same old stagnant place only a few residences have been built. It is about as stagnant a place as I ever saw. No paper no water system no electric lights. A very hot sultry day." "September 18th We all went to Ottawa to the fair. Had our dinner on the grass. Rained in the P.M. so it was very sloppy. This is the first fair except World's Fair I ever attended. Em and I went to Clarence Reed's and the rest of the folks retuned on the freight. My left hip kept me awake last night." "October 2nd Jim Ells and I walked to Freeport about 2 � miles and took the freight to Winslow. Took us until about 11 to get there. The Ill. C. runs but one passenger and one freight per day. After walking up town for a few minutes I went over to Aunt Wennie's and then up to Phene Black's where I ate dinner. Neither of them would have known me had they not known I was coming. The old home looks quite natural only the forests are gone. The old white oak tree near the front yard is gone. A number of windows have been taken out. After visiting awhile took a stroll up to Martintown thru the big woods. They are nearly all gone except a little piece on the east side. The sand bank has been deserted. Met old man Deets and his wife. They have been married 63 years. Martintown has grown smaller. The old grist mill and saw mill are still there. Wood Roocker runs them. He furnishes light to Winslow. Road down to Winslow and went up to see Cora Steckel at school. She didn't know me. She looks quite old warn and thin. Went home with her. Aunt Winnie looks about as usual only her right hand trembles quite badly. She still chews her tobacco." "October 5th Didn't get up till nearly 9. Read awhile before dinner and then took a walk thru Cope's farm to Buchannan's pond and to Klasey's Mill and back via of Block's place. But what a change. Both ponds are no more; neither the mills. The ponds are now farm lands. The spring is filled up the barn is torn down and the house is moved down to Sweeley's old place. Took supper with Cora. Went to town in eve. A nice day. Have had a smoke once each night." "October 16th Wrote most of A.M. and went to Freeport in P.M. Called on Clara and Mary Swazey Belle Taggart and Cora Farnum Burnwood. Took supper with Frank Richardson and then spent the eve with Charley Burnwood and family. Mrs. Farnum was with them. Charley is an active Christian worker now. Has two girls who sing nicely. Came back and stayed all night with Frank. He and his wife are the most deluded couple on religion that it has been my privilege to meet. They believe we live on the inside of the earth. There is no fact of science that they will not twist or destroy to carry their point. Didn't get to bed till after 11:30." "October 20th Taught Jelma to make hammocks and then Jim brought me to the I. C. train. Reached Dixon at 11:10. Olive and George met me at the train and took me to the Evangelical Church where Pastor Smith spoke. He invited me to speak in eve so I spoke on Will the Old Book Stand. Didn't have very good freedom tho it seemed to be well received. Received a telephone message from Em telling me to come home as Frank Robertson had killed himself. Olive's home is a sad place. She can't talk five minutes without referring to Elgin's trouble. Rella their eldest girl is a very fine girl and good reader. She recited several selections for me. Amos and Seymour went to Milwaukee to get Frank's body." "October 24th Didn't have a smoke. The remains of Frank R. came on the 10:45 but the folks missed the train in Chicago so they came to Savannah at 1:12 and auto's met them. The funeral was conducted at 2:30 from Grandma R's home. Eld Barash conducted the service. Two girls sang Jesus Savior Pilot and Abide with Me." Amos and Seymour seem to be completely bewitched by the two girls. Frank's wife and her sister they both defend the girls and the only reason they have for their opinion is the testimony of the girls. Amos thinks his death was an accident or done in a delirious dream. It seems that Frank was drinking some again. The girls testified that they were out with men one at least married till 2:45 and drank at least 20 beers. I pity Vieve and Lyde for they are awfully chagrined at his defense of the two beer wretches. Will Kibben and Yada called to see me this morning. He expects to go to Cal to spend the winter." "November 18th Am 48 today. My health is somewhat improved. Have not had to smoke much for a month. Have had a few light spells of asthma. My eyesight is as good as it ever was. Have never had to use glasses. My hearing is normal. In fact I feel pretty good for one my age except some stomach disturbance and the asthma. I am thankful for the health I enjoy. Weight 153. Lowered Knapp's auto floor so he could run his auto in without lowering the top. Worked pretty hard and felt very tired at night. A nice day." "December 4th Rained a little last night. A very pleasant P.M. Went after water cress in P.M. Amos returned from Milwaukee at 11. He has changed his mind regarding the death of Frank. He believes he was murdered and that his wife had a hand in it. Made a couple of sets of cards." "December 17th Rained last night and was threatening all day. Trimmed up some brush and chopped the wood. Finished reading "The Call of Dan Mathew's" by Harold Bell Wright. It is a story of a young minister in the Ozark Mts. His analysis of the condition of the church is very true but his characters are so unnatural and overdrawn that it is almost ridiculous. I can give no reason for its popularity than that it tries to overthrow the church." The covers of the diary have fallen off but are accounted for though really in awful shape.
