He was a graduate of Yale and an aide-de-camp to General James Coffee under General Andrew Jackson in the Creek Indian War and the War of 1812 from 1812-1815 in Alabama Georgia and New Orleans. He died in Dyer County Tennessee in August 1846.</p><p>The McCulloch family had been wealthy politically influential and socially prominent in North Carolina before the American Revolution but Alexander McCulloch had wasted much of his inheritance and was unable even to educate his sons. Two of his older sons briefly attended a school in Tennessee taught by their neighbor Sam Houston. After several moves the family settled at Dyersburg where one of their closest neighbors was David Crockett who became a great influence on Alexander's sons Henry Eustace McCulloch and his older brother Ben McCulloch who both would later become Confederate brigadier generals during the American Civil War.</p><p>Major Alexander McCulloch married Francis F. Le Noir who was born 11 April 1779 in Virginia. She was the daughter of a planter and slaveholder. Her only brother John Peterson Le Noir died in New Orleans of a wound received in a skirmish the night of 21 December 1814 while serving in the U.S. Army in the War of 1812. She came to Texas after 1846 and lived at the home of her son Captain John S. McCulloch in Ellis County until her death on 10 May 1866. She and her husband had 12 children together.</p><p>One son of Alexander and Francis was Alexander McCulloch who served in the army of Texas in 1836-37 and was an officer in the U.S. Army in the Mexican War. Another son was Benjamin McCulloch who participated in the Battle of San Jacinto as a private served in the Mexican War as a captain and was killed in the Battle of Pea Ridge Arkansas 7 March 1862 while serving as a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army. A third son was John S. McCulloch a captain in the Confederate Army who Francis went to Texas to live with. A fourth son and the line of McCullochs that this archive offered here descended from was General Henry Eustace McCulloch. This archive contains one letter written by Major Alexander McCulloch to his wife dated 1845.</p><p><b>General Henry Eustace McCulloch 1816-1895 and wife Jane Isabella Ashby 1822-1896</b></p><p>General Henry Eustace McCulloch was an early pioneer Texas Ranger and Confederate officer. He was born in Rutherford County Tennessee on December 6 1816. Although he played an important role in military affairs in early Texas he received fewer accolades than his more famous cohorts John S. Rip Ford John C. Jack Hays and his older brother Benjamin McCulloch. In the 1830s Ben and Henry McCulloch carried on several economic enterprises. They traveled the Mississippi River on log rafts to various markets and by the end of the decade they had moved to Gonzales to survey and locate lands. In 1839 in the political struggles at Gonzales Henry McCulloch shot and killed Reuben Ross after the latter intoxicated and obnoxious drew his pistols. The angular-featured gentle-looking McCulloch joined the Texas Rangers in the heyday of their role as citizen soldiers against Native Americans and Mexican troops. In the battle of Plum Creek in 1840 against the Comanches he scouted fought with distinction and was wounded. In addition he served as a lieutenant in Hays's rangers in their military operations against the Comanches and Mexican nationals. In 1842 in the attack on San Antonio and retreat by Mexican troops McCulloch scouted infiltrated enemy lines seeking information and participated in the battle of Salado Creek.</p><p>For the next two decades he mixed his military career with other ventures. In 1843 he was elected sheriff of Gonzales and began a merchandising career there. The following year he moved his business to Seguin. During the Mexican War and afterward he served as a captain of a volunteer company guarding the Indian frontier. He became especially adept at organizing regular ranger patrols in intervals from different camps to cover a designated area. In the early 1850s McCulloch served in the state legislature both houses from Guadalupe County and at the end of the decade he accepted an appointment as United States marshal for the Eastern District of Texas. He served as a high-ranking Confederate officer during the Civil War. As Texas left the Union he assumed command of the posts on the northwestern frontier from Camp Colorado to the Red River and used Texas secessionist troops to accept the surrender of federal forces. Given the rank of colonel by the Confederate Congress McCulloch organized the First Regiment Texas Mounted Riflemen in 1861. This body of troops slowed down penetration of the western frontier by Native Americans through a system of patrols and small-scale engagements. After promotion to brigadier general McCulloch commanded the Northern Sub-District of Texas from 1863 to the end of the war. In this role he faced the threats of Indian raids and the movement of Union forces. He also had to deal with the activities of draft dodgers deserters and bushwhackers. At one time he tried unsuccessfully to arrest William Quantrill for robbery and murder. With the war ended McCulloch went home to Seguin with an armed escort for protection against deserters who swore to take his life.</p><p>After the Civil War he remained in the limelight. In 1874 he assisted the newly elected governor Richard Coke in removing Edmund J. Davis from the executive offices. Early in 1876 as a reward for his years of service McCulloch was appointed superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum later the Texas School for the Deaf. Here his lax and inept administration brought about a legislative investigation that made him resign his position in 1879.</p><p>Henry married to Jane Isabella Ashby on 20 August 1840. She was born 17 September 1822 at Shelby Co Kentucky. She was the daughter of John Miller Ashby and Mary Harris Garnett of Kentucky who had been early settlers in the DeWitt Colony which was centered on Gonzales Texas. The couple had a number of children most of who remained in Texas.</p><p>General Henry Eustace McCulloch died on March 12 1895 at Seguin Texas and was buried in San Geronimo Cemetery. He received a full Masonic funeral having been an active freemason after the War in the Guadalupe County Lodge. His wife died the following year on 18 July 1896 at Seguin Guadalupe Co. Texas. There are 4 letters in this collection related to Henry Eustace McCulloch. Two letters are written by Henry Eustace McCulloch to his son in November 1882 and February 1895 with 2 letters written to him.</p><p><b>Henry Ashby McCulloch 1866-1913 and wife Lola Beatrice Gaylord 1871-1944</b></p><p>One of General McCulloch's sons his namesake was Henry Ashby McCulloch who was born 23 July 1866 at Rangers Horn Geronimo Guadalupe Co. Texas. He married on 18 April 1893 and died 22 January 1913 at Buenos Aires Argentina. The present collection is mainly concentrated on Henry his wife Lola Beatrice Gaylord their daughter Lolita "Lola" Beatrice McCulloch as well as Lolita's second husband William Alexander Sutherland and Lolita's son from her first marriage Ashby McCulloch Howard Sutherland who was adopted by Sutherland and took his stepfather's name.</p><p>Henry A. McCulloch left college in 1884 on account of a shortage of funds and thus did not graduate. From November 1884 to May 1887 he was a surveyor for state lands for Texas and the railways of the western part of the state being headquartered at El Paso. He did some work at this time in the State of Chihuahua Mexico for Davis Brothers of El Paso in 1885. For the last half of 1887 he was transit man and division engineer in charge of estimates for Mexican International Railway for Sabinas to Torreon and on preliminary survey from Torreon to Durango.</p><p>At the beginning of 1889 he was in the panhandle of Texas with William Walter Phelps Co. surveying 5000000 acre land grant in charge of two parties. He went to Mexico in 1890 for the purpose of working for the Wells-Fargo Company who he had been working with previously as a messenger at Eagle Pass Texas being responsible for communications between El Paso and Eagle Pass. In July of 1891 he was appointed "acting" route agent for Wells Fargo at Irapuato Guanajuato and later appointed as the route agent. In 1892 he was transferred to Monterrey and put in charge of all of Northern Mexico.</p><p>During 1892 he married Lola Beatrice Gaylord. And in 1895 he was appointed general route agent with headquarters in the City of Mexico and put in charge of all outside transportation business. While living in Mexico his daughter Lola Beatrice McCulloch was born in Mexico City on 16 August 1896. In 1898 he entered the service of American Surety Company as inspector and served in that capacity and as acting general manager until mid-July 1899 when he resigned because of differences between him and the company. He was immediately given a position as the general superintendent of San Marcos and Tecolutla Railway SM&T RR placed in charge of construction and operation. He stayed in this position a short time again having differences of opinions with his superiors and resigned to take a job in November 1900 with the Mexicana Railway as commercial agent staying only a brief time before taking a job again with the SM&T RR. SM&T RR was bought out by Mexican Eastern Railway. The SM&T was then leased to a corporation called Interoceanic Railway which was owned by stockholders of the Mexican Eastern Railway. McCulloch then became the General Train Master of the Interoceanic and the General Agent of the Mexican Eastern.</p><p>By 1904 he was appointed division superintendent of the Interoceanic Railway and later the same year appointed terminal superintendent for the company. Staying in Mexico he moved over to the Pan American Railroad where he was appointed the assistant general manager and became general superintendent of that company's railways in Mexico. In 1907 he was appointed general manager of Southern Railways of Peru and Dependencies under W. L. Morkill where he remained for several years before taking a position with a group of Argentine railroads. McCulloch died in Buenos Aires in 1913. </p><p>There are a 338 letters and telegrams written both to and from Henry concerning his work in Central and South America with the various railroad companies he was employed by. A number of these telegrams are multiple pages written in code then translated and sent back and forth at great expense in an attempt to keep prying eyes from what the companies were doing in the way of railroads in South America.</p><p>Henry A. McCulloch's wife Lola Beatrice Gaylord was born in October 1871 at Anderson Texas. She outlived her husband by nearly thirty years dying on 12 June 1944 at San Antonio Texas. She was buried at San Antonio's City Cemetery #1. She was the daughter of Edward Gaylord d. 1873 and Cornelia Bernice Milton 1849-1924. She is shown in the 1920 Census as living with her daughter Lolita and Lolita's first husband John Dewees Howard as well as her mother Cornelia Gaylord.

However Lolita's marriage ended in divorce. Howard a salesman remarried and shows up in the 1930 Census as being married. He registered for the WWII draft but it is not clear if he served.</p><p>The first marriage of Lolita produced a son Ashby McCulloch Howard. After her divorce Lolita received custody of the child and then married a second time to William Alexander Sutherland on 2 June 1926. Sutherland legally adopted the boy and the boy was given his surname and was Sutherland's heir when he died unexpectedly in 1929.

Her father was a clergyman at San Antonio on the 1880 Census and this may be how Elliott came to know Lola Gaylord McCulloch. Elliott lived at Sewanee Tennessee with her lifelong companion Marie Truslow a sculptor. Charlotte was described as a "tall dignified and benevolent woman" and Truslow as "stumpy bucktoothed and vivacious." They were said to wear "long dresses black or dazzling white and heavy amber beads and pearls pendant over very ample bosoms." Elliott was friends with the southern writers Walker Percy and his cousin William Alexander Percy and her name shows up in a book about Percy Walker page 285 "<i>The House of Percy: Honor Melancholy and Imagination in a Southern Family</i>" by Bertram Wyatt-Brown New York & Oxford: Oxford University Press 1994 Marie Jermaine Truslow 1871-1958 Elliott's partner was a resident of Sewanee from 1924 until she died at the age of 86 in 1958. Her death came 11 days after the death of her partner Elliott on 17 February 1958.

Truslow became a sculptor of note and had studied in Florence Italy and Dresden Germany. She and Charlotte had been classmates at St. Catherine's School in Brooklyn before both went abroad to study. At the beginning of WWI they were both back in New York City and met again and together opened the Home Studio for young ladies interested in studying music and art. Elliot was a dramatic soprano and once was a member of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus. Elliott is found advertising in the <i>New York Tribune</i> 3 Nov 1918 and the <i>Brooklyn Daily Eagle</i> 23 Feb 1919 as a singing instructor. In 1924 the two women closed their school and moved to Sewanee where they purchased a home and were active in the cultural affairs of the community for many years. Elliott was the granddaughter of Bishop Elliot a principal founder of the University of the South at Sewanee the university where Ashby McCulloch Sutherland attended. After the death of the two women they were buried next to each other at the University Cemetery. The 1940 Census taken for Sewanee lists Truslow as "head" of the household and Charlotte's relationship to her as "friend."

‎Archive of family correspondence consisting of approximately 474 letters totaling 2266 pages of correspondence most with original mailing envelopes plus 34 pieces of ephemera mainly used envelopes all dated between 4 October 1852 to 14 March 1924. Letters are written in ink and pencil written in legible hands in good condition with normal wear. <br /><p>Correspondents in the collection include three generations of the extended Alexander and Harrison families of Litchfield and West Winfield Herkimer County New York including Olive E. Alexander who married Thomas E. Harrison Olive's sister E. Jane Alexander and the children of Olive and Thomas Harrison: Dr. Herbert A. Alexander Leonard Alexander and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Harrison. Other correspondents include the brothers of Thomas E.

Harrison generally when he was away at school in Manhattan studying medicine or doing a residency at a hospital in Washington DC. Lizzie appears to have never married stayed at home and cared for her parents until their respective deaths and became the center point for the family for all relevant news of members who had left home. Many of the letters written to Lizzie were written by her brother Herbert over 45 letters and Hebert's wife Delia over 50 letters who Lizzie became good friends with. Lizzie's cousin Carrie Alexander who moved to Michigan with her parents would later marry the Rev. Albert S. Tedman and reside in Detroit for time as well as other locations in Michigan. Carrie writes 41 letters to Lizzie keeping her apprised of her life and how things are going in Detroit. </p><p> Lizzie also receives letters from many friends and cousins from various places particularly from New York State and Michigan but also as far away as California. There are also letters written to Lizzie from her brother Leonard as well as her father and mother Thomas and Olive Harrison. </p><p> Dr. Herbert A. Harrison receives 59 letters and writes 46.

Alexander Harrison writes 31 letters and receives 13 many from her sister Jane and Jane Alexander who never married writes 3 letters but receives 27. Thomas E. Harrison Lizzie's father in all writes 12 letters receives 15 mostly to and from his children Lizzie Herbert Leonard. </p><p><b>Alexander and Harrison Family History</b> </p><p> Thomas E. Harrison was born in Litchfield New York on 25 February 1836. He was the son of Stephen Harrison 1806-1894 who came from England and settled first in New Hartford and then at Litchfield about 1833. He married Mary Watson 1810-1890 and they had eight children Thomas E. Harrison being one of them. Thomas was a justice of the peace for a number of years. </p><p> Thomas married Olive E. Alexander of Litchfield New York about 1865. She was the daughter of Joseph Alexander 1797-1861 and his wife Eliza Warner 1801-1860. Olive's father had a small farm of about 105 acres at Litchfield where he grew oats and corn and had some milk cows and pigs. Olive became a school teacher and taught at Winfield in 1856 and at Litchfield in 1858. At the time of her parent's death they were buried at the Jerusalem Hill Cemetery in Herkimer County New York. The Alexander's had a second daughter by the name of Esther Jane Alexander 1824-1883 Olive's sister who features in the early correspondence of this collection. </p><p> Dr. Herbert Alexander Harrison was born in 1871 at West Winfield Herkimer County New York. He was the son of Thomas E. Harrison 1836-1920 and Olive E. Alexander 1839-1893. Herbert had a sister Mary Eliza Harrison 1867-1929 and a brother by the name of Leonard E. Harrison 1876-1936; both were living at West Winfield when Herbert died in 1915. </p><p> Herbert's sister Mary Eliza Harrison titled "Lizzie" in the correspondence was educated first at the West Winfield Academy then at the State Normal School at Albany where she graduated in the class of 1888. She became a teacher and for awhile taught at Selden Long Island. She is found living with her parents and her brother Leonard in the 1892 NY State Census and listed with no occupation. Lizzie M. Harrison of North Winfield is shown contributing $25.00 in 1895 to the Daniel Hand Fund for the Education of Colored People. A later letter in the collection shows her to be contributing money to the Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. When the 1905 New York State Census was taken she is shown living with her father and brother Leonard her mother having died. She was not listed with an occupation but rather listed for her occupation as "house work." She is later found to be a charter member of the Society of Middletown Upper Houses. On 3 October 1910 a passenger manifest for the ship Celtic shows her arriving at the Port of New York from Liverpool England. Her father accompanied her to Europe. </p><p> Herbert's brother Leonard E. Harrison attended the West Winfield Union School and Academy. Leonard died of pneumonia contracted after he was hospitalized for a fall. He was a farmer and a graduate of Cornell University. He left a wife Edith Bonfoy Harrison 1885-1973 and a son Walter L. Harrison 1914-1994 a student at Cornell when his father died. There are several letters in this collection written to Lizzie by a woman named Edit. It may be her sister-in-law Edith Bonfoy Harrison. </p><p> Herbert A. Harrison grew up in West Winfield and attended the village school and was graduated from the West Winfield Academy. Deciding to study medicine he went to New York City and took a course in the New York Homeopathic College from which he graduated. A number of letters written to and from his sister Lizzie were written at the time that he studied at New York Homeopathic College. </p><p> After taking his degree in medicine at the N.Y.H.M.C. & H. in 1895 he served two years as an intern at the Washington Hospital and then began practice in Cooperstown N.Y. When he was living at Washington DC there is some further correspondence between him and his sister Lizzie. After several years at Cooperstown he took a special course in eye ear nose and throat diseases at the New York Ophthalmic Hospital which he completed in June of 1903 and remained at NYOH for six months as house surgeon before returning to Cooperstown where he practiced until July of 1905 when he removed to Utica New York and followed his profession residing at 8 Scott Street and having an office in the Evana Building. He was a member of the staff of the Utica Homeopathic Hospital. He attended Plymouth Church and was a member of the West Winfield Masonic Lodge. </p><p> He was a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy the American Ophthalmological Ontological and Laryngological Society the National Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis the New York Homeopathic Society the Central New York Medico - Chirurgical Society and the Utica Homeopathic Club. </p><p> In 1903 he married Miss Delia Ellison 1867-1956 of Utica the daughter of Henry Duane Ellison 1833-1910 and Elnora Josephine Arnold 1837-1888. Together the couple had two sons one Thomas Duane Harrison 1904-1984 and Leonard Harrison b. 1911. Delia wrote 54 letters in this collection to her husband's sister Lizzie who she appears to have become close friends with. There are a couple of letters written to Delia's sons Thomas and one written by Thomas in this collection. </p><p> On May 13 1915 while walking the track on his way to the station at East Creek New York. Dr. Herbert A. Harrison was struck by a train and instantly killed. He had the custom of taking the train to East Creek then walking about ten minutes on the train track to a farm that was owned by his wife nearby. This collection contains several letters of condolence written to Herbert's sister Lizzie. Letters upon the death of Thomas E. Harrison Herbert and Lizzie's father are also included in this collection. He died in 1920. </p>Overall the correspondence collection is interesting in that it shows the changing of one generation to the next. Thomas E. Harrison a farmer sends his children to university to become professionals a teacher and a doctor. The collection also shows the extended family migration west the women keeping in touch with folks back home wishing them to come and move west with them with promises of a better life. Most of the correspondents tend to be women and the conversations of the letters tend to be dominated on the domestic sphere of life that they controlled. <br /> books‎

Written by Calvin Keith agent for Almina Partridge mother of United States Generals Samuel Partridge and John Milton Partridge. Almina is attempting to find out what real estate holdings her late husband has in New Orleans and Smith informs her in small part: ".I found myself in a rather awkward predicament. The Judge informed me the agent he had made the appointment Mr. Parker had admitted in Court that he had been in the State Prison for passing counterfeit money and informed me he could not now be removed without showing his present incapacity to manage her property. This information could only be obtained by depositions from the place where he resides.The last agent has not obtained any of the funds & I have much confidence in believing that his bail will not permit him to remove the funds and certainly not without securing him. On the whole I consider it rather a bad business & wish myself fairly out of it."

He died in San Diego California on October 17 1957 at the age of 88.</p><p><b>Sample Letters:</b></p><p> Ralph Earle Dennett wrote his father Alexander Dennett 162 letters between the years 1909 and 1931. The early letters show Ralph attending school at the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland and received his first command during WWI. He writes his father about the academy and life at the academy and his activities there when he goes out on ships for exercises. He also writes about his various ports of call and the various ships he is assigned to and what he is allowed to tell that the censors won't scrub:</p><p>"USS Washington Hampton Rds. January 2 1912</p><p>Dear Mother and Dad -</p><p> Tomorrow at ten we clear the harbor for another sea trip of uncertain duration they don't have mail boxes at sea the'fore I write while I may. The Admiral expects to take the rest of the little flock with him and join the fleet 400 miles at sea or thereabouts and then we're all going to play horse for little while with the Red Fleet and the Blue Fleet - really a very interesting thing if you can get inside dope on what's going on the only one I really even savvied was the one we were working on when we left Newport last and bad weather bused that up. Later on in the month about 21 the gallant Fifth Seems I never get away from 5th 5th Company 5th Division etc is to go to Key West for the celebration. What celebration I know not just a celebration that's all. I haven't seen an up to date paper since we left the Navy Yard four days ago Old Point is a tiresome sort of a joint at this time of year you can't get your finger on the pulse of affairs down here it doesn't belong the main arterial system of the country. There's life in it still but it's all fungus growth - rooky army lieutenants coast artillery school or "incubators" and their would be or is sweet hearts. Besides Hampton Rds is such a dreary windy place to anchor it hasn't the slightest suggestion of coziness about it but instead the old ship is yawed about in the tide the shore in the dim distance all around the horizon. If you ever sat in a big draughty desolate unfurnished room you can get an idea of Hampton Rds at this time of year. All the time you have the feeling of being somewhere and yet no where.</p><p> Today has been a very enjoyable day for all; we started coaling at day break and finished about 4 p.m. with intermissions for breakfast and lunch having increased our coal supply by 1600 tons. There's a certain exhilaration that the crew takes on when performing useful work that makes everybody happy. I imagine the novelty would soon wear off if we had to do it every day tho.</p><p> After leaving Key West the Fifth is expected to arrive sooner or later at Havana to aid in disposing of the wreck of the Maine if she is then ready. Altogether we have a very pleasant outlook for the coming routes and if our plans are not changed we may have a chance to laugh up our sleeves at the boys who have to spend their time at Guantanamo.</p><p> "Fat" Hicks has fully clinched his job in the Army but he missed connection in getting his orders probably much to Fats disgust. He wanted to be detailed to Fort Riley and run down to Kansas City occasionally to see the girls and perhaps "land" a good one among the latter who had plenty of cash in her jeans but he got a jack-ass mountain paltry out in Fort Russell Wyo.</p><p>Hoping this will find you well I am your affectionate son Ralph Dennett"</p><p>"March 8 1918 New York NY</p><p>My dear Dad</p><p> My attention has been temporarily turned away from the complication of affairs at home by the passing demand which have been made on my time and thought and shoe leather since I arrived in New York but I have during the lapses of evening after all the various naval Hqtrs have done up their business had some chance to think things over I'll come back to that later.</p><p> The change in my own affairs have reached the advanced stage of completion where I am now after two days of toilsome "reporting" back and forth between 280 Broadway and City Park Bklyn sometimes alone and most of the time with my predecessor finally installed aboard the "New York" as the com'dg officer of her Armed Guard detachment. From the face of it it looks like a most excellent billet. Tho I have been aboard the ship only once for a few minutes she looks like a very fine lady to me and I'm glad I got the job. "Stitchy" Paine my pred. was loathe to give it up. Said he'd like to stay aboard for the period of the war. Can't find out why they relieved him. Probably too much rank. He was 1908. Tomorrow I shall take a small share of my household goods aboard for the trip and the rest I shall probably store here in New York somewhere. With all the truck you have to handle just now I shall not send it home besides I might need some of the stuff when I get back.</p><p> My ship sails Tuesday carrying passengers mail and cargo. She is fast and therefore safe. I don't think you need give yourself any worry about me at all Quarters are comfortable and Paine tells me that the officers are congenial. I have a good titled second a lieutenant and 44 men. During the past two days I have worn out my feet and my change pocket hiking and subbing around between different offices of which there are three besides the ship. All in different parts of the city.</p><p> My voyage will last about three weeks if you have need of any of that money of mine in the York Bank and can get it out in my name you are at liberty to do so.</p><p>With much love Ralph"</p><p>"New York June 11 1918</p><p>My dear Dad</p><p> I have not mentioned the name of the ship here because I would be afraid that the censor if there is one would hold up the letter. I am therefore writing in a deuce of a hurry because there is very little time left you may understand why the feverish remodeling of the ship has been finished as far as possible we are still in very much of an uproar. For myself I have been trying very hard to keep a reasonable hold on what would be ordinarily three different jobs. There are only three regular offices on the ship including the Captain this makes it rather difficult since the remaining number are stripers of only a few weeks experience and are still in the process of training sometimes with only an indifferent amount of progress in their new job day by day.</p><p> Boucher and myself have had to share between us nearly all the work of organizing and quartering the new crew and it has been some husky. Both of us have stuck pretty close to the job. Not since I have been in the Navy have I been pushed with so much different kinds of urgent work at one time.</p><p> Leave for me or anybody else connected with the ship was absolutely impossible. I should have liked very much as you must know to come home to see you and the letter you wrote me recently made me home sick but she could not be done this time.</p><p> Probably my lack of time is due more to mismanagement or shortage of grey matter than anything else. But I can say this: that I have this conciliation I have pushed the job and the job has not pushed me which was what I was fighting for. In case it had been the other way around it would have been a case of being invalidated out of the transport service instead of leave of absence.</p><p>Give my love to all the folks at home.Ralph"</p><p>"October 12 1918</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> Have arrived on my new station. Give you my word this is awful. After a year or so of real activity it's like being buried alive or a spirit flight to the moon. The only thing missing is the funeral service. Here in front of the casket containing the remains of many a live man's lost hopes they are holding a solemn requiem day by day over embalmed doctrines of naval efficiency while the current of modern sea life sweeps swiftly past the door and on into the joyous vigorous future. It's a sickening decline from the land of Doing to the land of Being.</p><p> The Bones of this old packet should have been and were laid to rest years ago and there she ought to lie and not rack her poor old frame with the nervous excitement of this day and generation. Nature seems to want to scrap fighting men and fighting machines when they got too large and intricate and unwieldy. She prefers new and growing stock I guess and nothing too good anymore than anything too bad. So it is I see highly trained sailor men in comparative idleness here and amateurs struggling with greater slathers of work elsewhere.</p><p>Hope you in your lack of companionship and help at home do not find it wholly unbearable. It must be difficult and I realize it now more since seeing you last and remaining in close touch. Better times are probably coming for us all tho let's hope so your affectionate son Ralph.Illinois care P.M. NYC"</p><p> The collection also contains letters of both of Ralph's sons when they were students at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. There are 36 letters to Ralph E. Dennett from his son Armistead "Army" Dennett. Twelve of these letters are written by "Army" when he was attending the Naval Academy in 1940. His class graduated early due to the outbreak of WWII. There is much in these letters about sailing for the Annapolis sailing team against other schools Harvard MIT Brown etc the types of boats they use and his studies at the academy as well when he goes out to sea on exercises. The other letters are from 1944-1959 when he was serving in the U.S. Navy on the USS <i>Hansworth</i> 1944 or when he was attending Naval Post Graduate School at Annapolis 1945-1946 and later while serving on the USS <i>Juneau</i> 1949-1951.</p><p>"15 March 1940 Annapolis MD</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> Still sailing down here. Had a meet Saturday with Brown and Sunday with Haverford. Both were fairly easy but this week we sail with Princeton who beat us last fall by about two points. I think we have to keep hot this spring to make a little reputation for the new team. So far we've sailed seven teams. MIT beat us because as usual we sank more boats.</p><p> I sent you a letter received this morning. It came in a blank envelope and I almost threw it away as propaganda when I saw it was addressed to "Memphis Maryland."</p><p> Mrs. Ferrell was here Sunday with no previous word to me. I was out sailing in the races until late and hardly got to see them. She seems to be enjoying herself as usual and hopes you are taking good care of her house.</p><p> Incidentally Danny says in a terse letter that he wants to buy my boat. If you see Danny please discourage that. What is there to sail with the Caribou gone It's so hard to find a sailboat. I want to keep that one even if she is a pee wee. I think she might plane like a 14 with encouragement. </p><p>I got to study bull. I got a 2.2 last week on the Dutch wars. </p><p>Love your son Army."</p><p>"31 March 1940 Annapolis MD</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> We sailed Boston and St. John's yesterday in a fog. We won 61 ½ to 51 ¼ to 23. We go to Boston April sixth to race MIT Boston and Harvard. I have my doubts about being with the team. They say maybe if the team gets hot the NAA might think about a boat house on the America dock new sails more boats bigger squad and so on.</p><p> Be sure if you get a little boat to get one that you can race. Then get Bill to studying Curry and he can really have some fun. He can sail a Dyer by himself if he wants to. The Band X classes are good too. The Tech classes are like the B's loose footed main roomy and don't sink when they roll over. Our 14's are expensive and big and take two men to sail right. So I think either a Dyer or a B would be best. They still cost about $250 and should be hauled up on a float. For pete's sake get a real Dyer. We've got one built by the Annapolis Yacht Yard "exactly like." We can't find any difference in the lines or weight or sail but the thing only sails half as fast as our one good Dyer.</p><p> Well I hope the Caribou has a good owner. She was like a member of the family. Our back yard won't look the same at all without her masts.</p><p> My standings are up a little. I don't know why. I think I study less when we sail because every night I'm too tired to bone. Still my math came up. Think I'll go to the chapel.</p><p>Your son Army"</p><p>"5 April 1940 Annapolis MD</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> Your devoted son didn't make the squad of nine that goes to MIT. I was in the top six for last week's race with Boston here but I dropped to eleventh by Thursday when they made out the list.</p><p> Maybe I can make the next trip in May. Lately I've been averaging about fifth in our ten boats which doesn't mean much. All last fall it was 3.5. Top man has about 2.7 and low man has about 8.5. </p><p> Still I'd like to know where we are going this summer for our destroyer cruise.</p><p> Think I'll go to the formation.</p><p>Love your son Army"</p><p>"17 June 1940 Annapolis MD</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> Here I am back with my sad story about being broke again. Mary came down for June Week and stayed through six days and four hops. That and keeping an apartment stocked with everything for a week just ruined me. Now we are going up to Barnegat Bay for a five day race week in scows and I don't own a quarter.</p><p> We are probably going to be graduated early in three and a half years. They are even making out a new summer schedule and shortening the cruises effective Thursday. Leave and academic year will start early and we will be graduated in February so the officers predict.</p><p>I have been sailing one of our racing stars at Gibson Island each weekend in a star series there. She is a good boat but I'm not used to her yet and haven't been doing well at all. We tow three boats up behind one of the diesel motor-sailer ketches Saturday go ashore race Sunday come back for supper.</p><p> The candidates '44 bless 'em are being seen around the yard. Did Dick Underwood ever make it The poor guys look as bewildered as I felt two years ago.</p><p> Have you got any boat yet Too bad you aren't near one of the real good racing classes. These innocent looking yacht clubs put out some stiff competitors.</p><p>Your son Army"</p><p>Ralph E. Dennett's second son William A. Dennett also attended the Naval Academy at Annapolis. William wrote a total of 32 letters to his father. During the years 1945 - 1946 William is at the Naval Academy. There are also letters on the different cruises he takes during his training to Cuba Panama etc.:</p><p>"Unites States Naval Academy Annapolis Maryland Room 5305 Bancroft Hall 6 July 1945</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> Don't think that I haven't been thinking of home most of the time. This place at times has been almost enough to get me down. </p><p> I felt very much elated at having passed the physical. That was last Wednesday 27 June. Tuesday night 26 June I left and by the next day at 1400 I knew that I had passed. That night 27th I tried to call you with no success. From then on my time was all spent indoctrinating myself. On the 29th I was sworn in. Days 29th 30th June 1 July 2 3 July I was wishing that I had never come to this place.</p><p> That feeling has worn off now after having settled down to a routine. Now that I am resigned to my fate I am content to wait patiently for Christmas leave and want very much to hear from home. Your telegram was a moral inoculation. I need letters now very much.</p><p> I can use up to five of Army's white work uniforms. Tell Clodia to start sending the cookies and other food now.</p><p> Everyone that goes to the NA now is 19 and up has spent much time in the navy or three years at college or both. My plebe summer roommate is Wm. M. Shanhouse of Rockford Ill. I am trying to arrange rooming with a boy I met as a candidate Bill Hall from Ohio. I like him very much. He will take Spanish as a language so that may separate us unless I take Spanish.</p><p> I was required to send all non-reg clothing home. Did you get the laundry bag of clothes Monday I have the watch. Saturday tomorrow we take inoculations and such stuff. There were 600 of the 4th Class here when I came and 600 were to come after 1200 in the class of '49.</p><p> The life here is difficult for me at first. Much harder than when I was helper to the plasterer.</p><p> Where is Army I wish I could have been home when he was. I will be glad to see him when he comes. Be sure and come to see me if you get the chance. I am moderately homesick moderately to lightly.</p><p>Tell me how the farm is working out and what goes on Your loving son Bill"</p><p>"United States Naval Academy Annapolis Maryland Room 5305 Bancroft Hall 5 September 1945</p><p>Dear Dad</p><p> Don't let the bill worry you. It is for the coming college year and I won't be able to attend. I wrote the Registrar and told him to withdraw me from the student body. The letter was mailed 26 August so it should have gotten there by the time they sent out that bill but it is known how slow UNH is on such matters - see my college certificate of late.</p><p> There was liberty on Labor Day and rare dining out privilege was granted to plebe summer plebs. Nancy Leeds Army and I had dinner at Carvel Hale.</p><p> Last Saturday and Sunday I sailed on the Vamarie for an over night race. The weather was rough and all save few were sick. Never let it be said that I was seasick on Chesapeake Bay though - I wasn't.</p><p> Too many headsails rigged so the Vamarie spent the night thrashing around mostly and placed next to last. That's what poor handling does to the Queen of Ocean Racing.</p><p> Marched in a P-rade yesterday in Annapolis. Understand we get more Christmas leave - maybe 10 days.

Just the thing to send to Aunt Florence.</p><p> The biggest flop of Centennial Week so far has been Educator's Day. College Presidents from NROTC Colleges about 55 were invited to explore the NA and express their opinions. About ten presidents showed up from places like Case Inst. Tech and Villanova. NA seems to come in for much criticism these days concerning policy toward expansion to include St. Johns and method of teaching. Having just come from college I notice a big difference in the method. I am afraid that the college student has the greater chance for individual thought whereas the midshipman learns mostly to follow orders or a gauge.</p><p> I like the idea of midshipmen being trained in civilian colleges first and finishing off at this place.</p><p>Kay Kyser is playing tonight for the Centennial Ball.</p><p> The P-rade looked well today - 24 companies - it takes 20 minutes for our brigade to pass in review. There were only 16 companies here when Army was a Mid'n. He was amazed when I told him I was in the 23rd Company.</p><p> Army and his roommate seem to drag a different set of girls each week. I'm going to arrange dining out with Army on a Sunday. That way I can see him and go into town at the same time because we can't have liberty on Sunday unless dining out.</p><p> I'm having a little trouble with Bull and Skinny but a little application will make everything rosy.</p><p>I still need to know about insurance - should I pay for it from personal funds which is the only way or ignore it until I graduate. I'll see the financial adviser and ask Army when I can.Love Bill"</p><p> After his time at the Naval Academy William A. Dennett was honorably discharged due to an illness. After recovering he studied naval architecture and marine engineering at M.I.T. then went to work for Newport News Shipyard. Letters from his wife "Bunny" to her father-in-law Ralph give insight into that chapter of their lives:</p><p>"May 5 1951Cambridge MA</p><p>Dearest Dad</p><p> Since Bill and I have been quite busy tying up little ends we've not had the time that we would have liked to have had to spend on a visit with you. We shall be seeing you very soon though and in the meantime I have lots to tell you.</p><p> Bill has had a number of splendid offers of employment from some of the very best yards and firms. He has considered them all very carefully and has decided that the Newport News Ship Yard holds the most future for a young and inexperienced engineer. The salary is of course not particularly spectacular but it is ample enough to allow us to manage without my having to contribute.</p><p> It has been very difficult for me to get used to the idea of living so very far from home but I have tried not to sway him on that account. I would feel very badly if Bill made a wrong choice because of me because it does seem that it is important to work in the place where one feels most content. We are in any case both looking forward to this summer because it will be marvelous to have a real income and time to enjoy each other.</p><p> Our last weeks here and there are only thee you know will be filled with activity. Bill has to complete his thesis prepare for exams and pass in lots of last papers in each class. His marks are very good and he has been a credit to both of us.

Henry John van Lennep 1815-1889</p><p> Henry John Van Lennep was a noted 19th-century Christian minister missionary writer and educator born in Smyrna in what today is Izmir Turkey in 1815. The first van Lennep in Smyrna was the Rev. Henry John van Lennep's great grandfather the merchant David George van Lennep 1712-1797. David was the chief merchant of the Dutch trading station and Consul of the Dutch Nation in Smyrna. He originally left Holland for Smyrna in 1731 with Philippe de la Fontaine to set up a business. An older brother of de la Fontaine had been in Smyrna as early as 1704 and they joined him. After the de la Fontaines died retired or were bought out the business came to be called Van Lennep & Enslie. After Enslie withdrew from the business it became known as "Jacob van Lennep & Co." when David's son Jacob Van Lennep 1769-1855 the Rev. Henry's grandfather took over the business from his father.</p><p> Eventually the Van Lennep's business had an extensive network of international contacts exporting silk and angora wool thread from the interior of Turkey and figs citrus and other fruits from the islands in the Aegean Sea. They imported rough cotton linen fine cloth silver and gold cloth coffee sugar indigo herbs pepper porcelain and glass. His company was also the most important commercial bank in Smyrna. Van Lennep's firm was joint owner along with others in a vessel for which David George Van Lennep represented the company as agent and broker.</p><p> David George van Lennep became one of the assessors in Smyrna for the Directorate of Levant Trade and Navigation in the Mediterranean whose responsibility it was for the fitting out of all vessels which passed through the Straits of Gibraltar to verify and check their patents and bills of lading and maintain contact and correspond with the various consuls in the Levant and North Africa. He was an assessor from at least 1752 until his death in 1797. David George van Lennep was described as the uncrowned king of the Dutch Colony and his house the rendezvous of the high society of Smyrna.</p><p> David George van Lennep's son Jacob took over the business from his father along with two of his younger brothers. Jacob served as the Consul General for the Netherlands at Smyrna from 1825 till his death in 1855. Jacob's son Richard eventually joined the firm. The Rev. Henry John van Lennep whose archive is offered here was the son of this Richard Van Lennep 1779-1827 and his wife Adele Maria von Heidenstam 1790-1867. Richard was born in Smyrna and became a partner in the firm of his father's Jacob van Lennep & Co. Richard van Lennep withdrew from the firm in 1804 visited the United States about 1808 to enter into new business relations after his trip to the United States he rejoined Jacob van Lennep & Co. Richard was also for a time the consul of Sweden.</p><p> A revolution in Holland in the mid-1790s along with a naval defeat by the British in 1797 made continental trade difficult for the van Lennep family. These events followed by continental trade restrictions introduced by Napoleon normal overseas trade became almost impossible. It is therefore of interest that Richard having left the family firm made his journey to the United States in 1808 to seek commercial contacts there. As a consequence when he rejoined the family firm upon his return to Smyrna the company's business and trade became almost completely directed to the United States and more especially to Baltimore Philadelphia and Boston while the West Indies also became an area of interest.</p><p> The only son of Richard van Lennep who did not pursue a career in business was the Rev. Henry John van Lennep. Together with his younger brother Gustave Adolphe he was sent by their parents to be educated in the United States at Mount Pleasant School in Amherst and the Hartford Grammar School no doubt to learn the ways of America to help with the family's international business.</p><p> Henry John's brother Gustave Adolphe returned to Smyrna in about 1835 while Henry John continued his education at Amherst College. During his college years he decided to become a missionary and after graduation from Amherst in 1837 he spent a year at Andover Theological Seminary. He completed his training under the direction of a theologian and was ordained as a Congregational preacher the 27th of August 1839.</p><p> Shortly after marrying Emma Bliss Henry John left for Turkey together with his new wife as a missionary for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. This board had been created in 1812 as a variant of the Dutch Réveil Movement and had since 1830 begun spreading the "true" gospel amongst Jews Greeks and Armenians in the Near and Far East. Their missionaries also concentrated on education so that under their direction an extensive network of schools was created in the Levant. Henry John's first posting was in his birthplace Smyrna. Unfortunately his wife Emma died in 1840. After travelling extensively in Turkey and Greece Henry John returned to the United States in 1843 where he married for the second time this time Mary Elisabeth Hawes the daughter of his former tutor. Sadly his second wife also died in Constantinople in September 1844 within a year of their marriage.</p><p> During the following ten years Henry John did missionary work from Constantinople and taught at a seminary in that town. During visits to Syria and Palestine he gathered material for a subsequent publication Bible Lands Their 28 Modern Customs and Manners Illustrative of Scripture 1875.</p><p> In 1849 he was again in the United States where he married for the third time Emily Ann Bird 1825-1898. Emily was born in Beirut Lebanon the daughter of Isaac Bird and Ann Parker. Four years after the wedding he was transferred from Constantinople to Tokat a tiny town located along the foothills of the mountains flanking the northwestern part of central Anatolia. There he was to open a missionary post and theological seminary. During his various trips around Tokat he made detailed notes concerning the various archaeological sites he came across which he later published in two volumes as <i>Travels in Little-Known Parts of Asia Minor</i> 1870. He himself made the illustrations for this publication. It was at Tokat that his son Edward J. van Lennep was born in 1856. In November 1858 Henry was visited by the German Orientalist Mordtmann who described Henry John as "one of the very few erudite missionaries in this part of the world who have a solid knowledge of both the country and its languages. He is not only a linguist but also a painter musicologist hunter and botanist in short a universal genius."</p><p> His rather unconventional behavior caused jealousy amongst his colleagues some of whom tried to have him removed from his post. Fortunately Henry John managed to forestall this attempt. In 1861 the couple left Tokat. After a short stay in the United States they returned to Smyrna to teach there for six years. By then the problems with his eyesight and further disagreement concerning missionary policy made him decide to return to the United States and to settle there permanently about 1867.</p><p> In the U.S. he taught natural sciences Greek and modern languages at Ingham University in LeRoy New York for three years after which he moved to Great Barrington Massachusetts about the year 1870 where he became director and owner of the Sedgwick School for Boys also known as the Sedgwick Institute. Henry's son Edward worked with him at the Sedgwick School and eventually took it over after his father's death.</p><p> Besides the two publications already mentioned Henry John also published <i>Oriental Album</i> 1862 and <i>Ten days amongst Greek Bandits</i> 1868. He also executed several drawings for Professor Edward Hitchcock that were included in his <i>Geology of Massachusetts</i> 1841 and <i>Illustrations of Surface Geology</i> 1860. Amherst College has a collection of his artwork several sketch albums and individual pieces and several folders of papers mostly ephemeral items.</p><p> Henry John van Lennep's son William van Lennep was a well-known surgeon and professor at Hahnemann Hospital at Philadelphia a leader in the homÅ“opathic field of medicine.</p><p> Edward James van Lennep 1856-1934 and Alice Norton Shedd 1869-1957</p><p> Edward James van Lennep 1856-1934 was born at Tokat Asia Minor Turkey on 26 July 1856. He first came to Great Barrington after his father relocated from Turkey about the year 1870 when Edward was only 14 years old. He attended Sedgwick Institute his father's school and was prepared for Princeton University where he graduated with two degrees Bachelors and Masters. He took a job as a professor at his father's Sedgwick Institute. Edward worked at the school teaching languages French Greek Armenian Turkish then took over as managing director and proprietor of the Sedgwick Institute after his father's retirement. Edward spent over fifty years 1877-1934 at the Sedgwick Institute. Besides teaching languages he stressed rowing organized crews for regattas and at one time owned a boat house at Lake Buel where the students did their practicing. Many of those tutored by van Lennep continued the activities at college and made a name for themselves. He also emphasized gymnastics and practiced what he preached. When he was 75 years old he noticed some children endeavoring to stand on their heads. He stopped and gave them a demonstration how to do it. At the same age of 75 he was still able to walk upstairs on his hands. Edward was a member of the First Congregational Church and served at one time as superintendent of the Sunday school. Edward John van Lennep died at Great Barrington on 1 April 1946.</p><p> Edward married Alice Norton Shedd at West Stockbridge Massachusetts on 18 July 1895. Alice was born in South Egremont Berkshire County Massachusetts on 3 September 1869 and died at Great Barrington on 29 June 1957. She was the daughter of Luke Shedd and Julia Ada Norton. Luke Shedd was at one time a professor/teacher and in retirement was listed as a landlord. Another name that appears in this archive is Urania Shedd Luke Shedd's sister.</p><p> Edward and Alice had at least four children: Julia Norton van Lennep 1896-1897 who died as an infant Emily Bird van Lennep 1898- Clara Hart van Lennep 1901-1980 and Henry John van Lennep 1902-1989.</p><p> Henry John van Lennep was named for his grandfather and was a famous baseball player at the high school and college level Brown University. An injury appears to have cut short his career. He became an officer in the Post Office at Great Barrington Massachusetts.</p><p> Clara Hart van Lennep married in 1937 to one William Bonnell Nisbet 1902-1976. Nisbet was an interior decorator. He was the son of William Browning Nisbet and Edith Bonnell. There are letters in this collection written by Clara as well as artwork. She was stated to be a painter particularly of horses as well as a photographer and an equestrian.</p><p>Emily Bird van Lennep married in 1922 to Harold K. Allen 1896-2013. Together the couple had at least four children: Harold K. Allen Jr. Peter Allen Charles Ellsworth Allen 1925- who married in 1952 Marilyn Ann Miller and Robert Allen 1927-.</p> books‎

‎Nichols Plumb Norris Family Correspondence‎

‎Archive of Family and Business Correspondence of the Plumb-Nichols-Norris Families of Denver and Fort Morgan Colorado 1856-1960‎

‎<p>Archive consisting of 940 letters 2359 pages of correspondence both manuscript and typescript approximately 76 items of related family ephemera in good clean legible condition.</p><p> Extensivecollection of correspondence pertaining to these three inter-married families who emigrated west from New York State to the mid-west and then on to Colorado in the 1860s. Lafayette W. Nichols was a pioneer in the lumber and building supply industry in Denver. He ran a business dealing in lumber and mill work in the 1870s which helped build the city. He later was an investor in real estate and mining. Much of his correspondence concerns his investments and the "Silver Question" which was of concern to Coloradans in the 1890s. He married Mary Plumb their daughter Josephine married William A. Norris. </p><p> Norris was formerly a lawyer from Kansas who ran into trouble there. Norris later became a cattle broker. He was president of the Cornucopia Cattle Company of Fort Morgan Colorado brokering and selling dairy cattle primarily Holstein and Guernsey cattle but also short horns. He traveled extensively throughout Colorado and surrounding states in the course of his business as far east as Wisconsin and as far west as Oregon buying and selling cattle often by the train car-load. His letters are written primarily on the letterheads of hotels from towns and cities small medium and large in Colorado. His letters form a collection in themselves on the hotels of Colorado in the early 20th century. Norris also was president of The Better Roads Association. Based in Fort Morgan dedicated to improving roads in the state; its motto was: "Everybody for Better Roads Better Roads for Everybody." He was also market manager of the Morgan County Dairymen's Association also based in Fort Morgan.</p><p> Norris seems to have been a troubled man. He worked very hard was constantly on the road but he seems to have perennially struggled economically. Norris and his wife appear to have lived apart much of the time Josephine remained in Denver and Norris was often either in Fort Morgan or traveling. His letters to his wife sometimes several a day describe his travels business and efforts to improve their economic situation. </p><p><b>Nichols & Norris Families</b></p><p> Lafayette W. Nichols 1828-1925 was born 3 September 1928 at Randolph Cattaraugus New York; died 18 May 1925 at Denver Colorado; he was the son of Daniel Franklin Nichols 1800-1883 and Lydia Bishop 1793-1859. He was living at Dutch Creek Iowa by 1856 and is enumerated there on the 1860 Census where he is listed as a farmer and enumerated only four families from his future wife's family Mary Plumb and her father F. M. Plumb. He married Mary Plumb on 17 October 1860 at Dutch Creek Iowa. Lafayette W. Nichols was considered one of Colorado's lumber pioneers he moved to Colorado in the 1860s. Mr. Nichols entered the Denver lumber business in 1872 he ran a dealership in sash doors blinds lumber lath and shingles located at the corner of Larimer and 20th Streets Denver Colorado however by 1880 Nichols was listed as a retired lumber merchant and his wife Mary was keeping house. His address was then 12 Nichols Block Denver. In 1900 he was still residing at Denver and listed with no occupation. When the 1910 Census was taken Lafayette was listed in the gold and silver mining business as an employer. In 1920 he was listed without an occupation again. He died in 1925. </p><p> Mary Plumb was born 15 July 1836 Trumbull Co. Ohiodaughter of Francis Merrill Plumb 1806-1899 and his wife Laura Mary Hyde 1810-1854. She is found in 1850 living with her parents and siblings at Kinsman Trumbull Co. Ohio. When her parents moved to Dutch Creek Iowa she moved along with them as per the 1860 Census where she worked as a teacher. She met and married her husband in 1860 at Dutch Creek. By 1880 she was living with her husband Lafayette and their daughter Josephine in Denver where she lived for the rest of her life. Mary died on 28 December 1931. </p><p> In 1910 Mary was listed as a practitioner of Christian Science on her own account. At one point she practiced clay modeling and one of her pieces was put into marble and exhibited at the World's Fair in Chicago. She and her husband had one child a daughter Josephine M. Nichols.</p><p> Josephine M. Nichols was born in June 1868 at Washington Iowa and died in 1950 in Denver Colorado. She is found enumerated in 1880 at Denver where she was living with her parents. Josephine was listed as a teacher at a university in Denver in 1910. She married William A. Norris in 1911. In 1917 Josephine is found as the President of The College of Speech Arts at Denver. In 1920 although married she lived at home with her parents and was still listed as a teacher. Despite their marital and economic problems Josephine and her husband never divorced. By 1930 she was listed with no occupation presumably caring for her mother who lived with Josephine and her husband. By 1940 after the death of her mother in 1931 she appears to have taken a job again as a teacher at a private school. Josephine lived in Denver until her death in 1950.</p><p> William A. Norris 1862-1954 was the 8th of 15 children born to Andrew Jackson Norris 1825-1893 and Euphany Lewis 1830-1911 of Concord Kentucky. Norris is found living at Concord in 1870 and 1880. On 5 April 1889 Norris was admitted to practice law and is found in Salina Kansas as an attorney where he was elected to the office of County Attorney. In 1897 Norris was accused with at least six counts of accepting money for conducting his official acts. The story made the front page of <i>The Salina Daily Union</i> on 2 September 1898. Norris declared his innocence and hired an attorney and a famous detective Sylvia Marshal to secure evidence of his innocence. He denied all the accusations. The case was investigated and went to the Kansas State Supreme Court. Norris was found guilty and disbarred in 1899 and removed from the office of County Attorney. Norris' guilt was due to a practice of many years by country attorneys of accepting a fee of $250 for cases dismissed while apparently illegal all those years it was never prosecuted but when he was prosecuted and was found guilty Norris was the County Attorney. While not given a jail sentence he was disbarred and lost his job as County Attorney. In 1908 an attempt was made by attorneys to have him reinstated as per <i>The Lindsborg News- Record</i>Lindsborg KS 4 Dec 1908 but it was not successful Norris left Kansas for Colorado where he met and married Josephine M. Nichols on 19 September 1911. The couple made their home in Denver. He lived with his wife at Denver for the rest of his life where he appears to have been an attorney at one point. Later in 1930 Norris was listed as a salesman of livestock and in 1940 was listed as a literary writer. He died at Denver in 1954 outliving his wife by four years.</p><p><b>References:</b></p><p>Ancestry.com compiled genealogies of the Plumb & Norris families as viewed on 8 Jan 2021.</p><p>Newspapers.com as viewed on 9 Jan 2021.

England has attained her present commanding position by employing her laborers profitably and very largely in the manufacture of steel and iron for which articles the United States has been her very best customer. It is now demonstrated by actual working that both iron and steel can be made at less cost in the United States than here even with cheap labor and cheap capital in Englands favor so that in the immediate future not only will the United States cease to be Englands customer but will become her most formidable competitor for the markets of the world not only for their articles but for many others.

Nichols Denver Colorado</p><p> "The Rocky Mt News having an article on the much mooted silver question came duly to hand and is already in my scrapbook to which a lot of literature on that subject has found its way.</p><p> Up to this writing I cannot see that the coinage of silver should be changed in any way except to make it free as is gold coinage. Coining less than all that is mined and not wanted for the arts tends strongly to depress the market price in fact it is difficult to see why it would not go to par if coinage was not restricted. No doubt the objector would say that you would make money too plenty.</p><p> Doubtless it would seem so to the holder of bonds and securities for it would open the power of his holdings but for the great debtor masses such decrease in the power of money would work no harm but on the contrary good and as between these two classes patriotic justice demands that the latter should be served. I take no stock in the idea that silver is not wanted by the people because of its cumbersomness; a silver certificate is no more cumbersome than is a gold certificate and it will pay as many debts and buy as much property as either gold or silver itself. True it may be necessary for the government to provide storage but what of that What is government for if not for the purpose of serving the people who are or at least ought to be the masters of the government.</p><p> It is well to inquire who it is that demands the denomination of silver or the stoppage of coining it even. The whole discussion has been introduced and engineered by the monied class and no one else – True I must often with the average citizen who has heard so often that silver is driving gold from the country that he half believes it and is of course alarmed lest something terrible is about to happen but even such an easily made to see that gold never leaves the country as long as the balance of trade is in our favor as it now is -is likely to be and has been for years. No unless a light from some pinnacle higher than any Wall Street house comes to correct me I cannot aid in disturbing silver – let "the dollar of the daddies" roll from every mint without let or hindrance.

Now if he has such a thing in mind it would be a great mistake to adopt Aurora as a location when Streator is so much better that out of pure regard for Senator Hill's interests I desire to call his attention to Streator as possessing superior advantages to any location for such a purpose in the State of Illinois.</p><p> Smelting requires fuel and the cheaper the fuel the greater the profit. Vermillion coal is unequalled for smelting purposes. It produces bot gas and coke to a degree that no other Illinois coal equals. The railroad facilities of Streator are more than double those of Aurora but I need not enlarge for you know these facts as well as I.</p><p> It may not be true that Senator Hill contemplates such a move but I would ask you to interview him and tell him what you know about Streator.

There are indications of financial trouble throughout those European countries that have adopted the gold standard and are trying to rob silver of its money quality and it begins to appear to thinkers in Europe that the almost universal depression is traceable to the crucifixion of the white metal. Should this sentiment obtain and become a conviction it is probable that the back track will be taken and the great mischief be undone but as the battle now stands there is no hope for help from the other side of the Atlantic nor from those of our own financiers whose opinions are imported from Europe free of duty. As to our own country at this writing the gold bugs are on top. They have the democracy with them through ignorance and enough republicans through greed to control the situation.</p><p> The US could dictate free coinage to the whole world if determined to do so and it is in the power of a compact party of voters enough to hold the balance of power to win the fight but it must act with both wisdom and firmness. Many of the free coiners are demagogs pure and simple – none such are capable of leading on to victory. It requires a revolution among the voters – a throwing off of party allegiance – a devotion to the public good such as is borne of wide spread adversity – The required condition is now supplied and if leaders come to the front sufficiently devoid of political itch for personal preferment the work of reinstating silver can be accomplished.</p><p> But we can't "go it alone" with the balance of trade against us and nothing short of protection will insure us against the adverse balance.

Money is being used in the most disgraceful manner and also intimidation of employers in favor of McKinley.

To say that I was disappointed in the outcome of the election is putting it very mildly although I realized the great power of the money and the Trusts and Corporations but I did not fully realize the dense ignorance of the Farmers of Iowa for instance and even of the farmers of the middle and eastern states. There is no excuse for them. They had no business to be controlled by the power of money. The Laborer in the eastern cities are wholly dependent upon their employers and then they are densely ignorant and don't know their interest. The Negroes voted almost to a man for McKinley simply because he is a republican. I don't know how it will terminate but I think in a revolution before many years. I think that a peaceful solution of the money question is now out of the question <u>unless</u> the American people are content to be ruled by a monied aristocracy and become industrial slaves. A foreign war might change the situation. Of course things may have a different outlook in 1900 but at present the future for America to me looks gloomy. … About the most disreputable performances during the last campaign has been the part the ministers and churches have played. With a few honorable exceptions. It has been very disgusting to me and exasperating beyond measure. I was thankful that Colorado came to the scratch in such fine shape and I am proud of her… When we do have cold weather there will be great suffering by the poor. The Coal Trust raised the price of coal one dollar per ton over the price they sold it for last year in all these eastern cities although they pay their laborers less than one year ago.

They hold the balance of power and <u>expect</u>and <u>are</u> paid for their votes one way and another but largely with cash. It don't take but a little money to buy a Darkeys sic vote. I am disgusted with the politics of Maryland and I am persuaded it is little better elsewhere. Not quite as much ignorance perhaps but rascality and corruption everywhere. The present administration I think is the most corrupt in the history of the Nation. There is jobbery everywhere. The welfare of the common people is not considered at all.

‎Clark Family‎

‎A Collection of Ephemera Relating to the Clark Family of Amity CT‎

‎Amity & Woodbridge CT 1778-1848. General wear. Letter folds some separation at folds. . A collection of approximately thirty-eight 38 pieces of ephemera relating to the Clark family of Amity CT. The the bulk of materials dating from the 1790s to the 1810s. The majority of the collection focuses on the patriarch of the family Lazarus Clark 1795-1818 following his death the remaining materials relate to his sons Jeremiah Andrew and William or one of his grandsons Alinzaor Jeremiah's son.The collection mostly consists of Receipts and payment intent - fourteen 14 in number which were short financial agreements between Lazarus and other gentlemen in which he agreed to pay with ""lawful money"" the debt he owed. Several make reference to a time frame in which he had to pay back the debt such as sixty days or one year at which times there is also reference to paying an interest on the debt. It appears as though once Lazarus would pay of the amount owed he would either rip off or cut out his name from the note so that the note was no longer valid. There are a few notes of this nature between his sons and/or grandsons and their debtors. Measures 6 1/2"" x 3 3/4"" sample. Itemized Invoices for goods and servic -There are approximately a dozen detailed bills belonging to Lazarus in which individual items itemized out varying in length from a few items to to the majority with full page itemizations over 40 itemes Some examples of the items and amounts purchased are: quart lisbon wine silk & thread for Patty Lazarus' daughter 5 yards linen and half a pound of sushen tea. There are some indications in the Woodbridge town history that Lazarus' house was a tavern at on. Woodbridge Citizen Ledger- 42 page booklet bound by thread which appears to be missing its wrappers if not a page or two. Names of Woodbridge's citizens listed alphabetically with some sort of unidentified adjacent checkmarks. It appears that it might have something to do with the town's taxes as on the back of the book is written ""It was voted by the inhabitants of the town of Woodbridge at their meeting in December 18 1786 and for a period thereafter rate to be paid the First of April next."" There are short notes beside some of the names indicating if the amount was paid though sometimes these notes state that it was paid by a different individual than the one named. Measures 6 1/4"" x 3 1/4"". There several loose papers filled out in a similar manner one of the smallest of which does say ""Amity Bill 1795"". On one of these pieces it appears as though the amount owed was divided up between ten men. Their names amount owed and the calculations done in order to figure out the amount owed by each individual are recorded. Another item is a letter dated August 19th 1805 from David Brown of Derby. The letter concerns a tippet that Mrs. Hotchkiss took and destroyed and Brown appears to have been writing Lazarus in the hopes that he would help to resolve the matter before Brown would be forced to ""putting of it in suit without any further delay."" This letter supports along with the possible tax records that Lazarus held some sort of important position within the town however the exact position is never specified either within the items in collection or the research done on Lazarus himself. The collection also contains a second booklet with four pages of content including a similar list of names plus six pges of genealogical records such as marriage birth and death dates. The remainder is blank.The last three pieces of ephemera in the collection are relating to the sale or transfer of land in the area however only one of which names a Clark within the text. In that document it relates the sale of Dible Farm to a William Clark in 1828. Of the two land agreements not naming a Clark one is the deed to the piece of property called Green Farms in Fairfield CT and the other is a copy of the land deed for a property belonging to a Joseph Syler. There is even a short note on the back of this copy which states ""Fees for Searching records & Copy $ 0=25 sic"". Measures 12"" x 7 3/4"" sample. One piece has a small note on the back along with these practice signatures which has the appearance of a short diary entry discussing the day's weather before it ends abruptly. To view the collection please click on the following link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/2FDfC2yTTX6c2Fyd8 Lazarus Clark was among one of the first settlers of the town of Amity in Connecticut and he even swore an oath of fidelity to this end in 1784 along with all the other citizens of the town. The town of Amity is no longer in existence today however it was located in what is now part of Bethany Orange and New Haven with the majority of it located in Woodbridge CT. In fact the house Lazarus Clark built for his family in 1795 which still stands today is in Woodbridge CT. Due to Lazarus' being a part of the founding settlers of the town he was one of its prominent citizens and there are indications in the town records that he was a Deacon at the local parish. Lazarus Clark was born on December 23 1745 in Milford CT to David Clark 1713-1800 and Hannah Peck 1716-1815. He married Dennis/Denise Bradley 1753-1802 in 1771.
