‎1934-1964 Pair of Manuscript Minute Books Representing 24 Years of a Boston-Area Women’s Church Charity Organization’s Activities Members Finances and Social Engagements‎

‎Weymouth Massachusetts. Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a pair of club meeting minutes covering a total of 24 years of the Ever Ready Guild a women’s charity club that was initiated in 1928 at the East Weymouth Congregational Church in Weymouth Massachusetts 15 miles south of Boston. These minute books cover the periods of 1934-1944 and 1950-1964. Newspaper records between the 1930s-1960s show that as well as the Weymouth guild there were Ever Ready Guilds operating out of churches in Ohio Illinois Maine Indiana Delaware Nebraska and Pennsylvania. In the 1936-1937 Annual Report Guild secretary Katherine Wright discusses their general activities: “.to promote the spiritual and social life of the young women of the church most of our members are active in the Sunday School and the Choir we donate to the basket at Christmas time which Mr. Newton distributes also the Red Cross the Pilgrim association we contribute our time to the LSU and also to the fair and we pledge $125 to our Church which we earn in various ways…” Dec 1936. These minute books provide a remarkable look into the impressive structure and organization of a 100% women-led long-running charitable club. The record-keeping is impeccable with each meeting being recorded in intimate detail and the names of members the executive officers their activities and finances being meticulously kept. The guild’s activities represent a ‘deep dive’ into the social fabric of the time from the interactions among guild members to the many locations they would visit and how they would allocate their funds. From a genealogy perspective these books include the names and addresses of hundreds of Weymouth and area women born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each meeting’s minutes are long and detailed so excerpts only give a general sense of the type of content: “.Treasurer reported a balance of $39.84. Ethel Sylvester reported on new members. Ruth Newton reported that the Norwegian Glee Club would not be available until fall. Louise Williams reported that $40.60 was realized on the rummage sale. The president asked that a note of thanks be sent to Mr. Reidy who kindly allowed us the use of his vacant store. The sewing for the hospital was turned in to Helen Tirrell and she gave out dish towels to be hemmed” May 14 1940. “.Motions made and seconded the Guild pay $1.20 for a square in the Social Union quilt. Plans for the Xmas party to be held Dec 28…Each member to bring a 10 cent gift also a gift for our mystery palls to the Christmas party…” Nov 23 1943. “.Thelma Chalmers informed us that the Lincoln Ensemble Choir from Brockton would be at our church…This is a colored choir and very well worth hearing. It was decided to have a miscellaneous sale on Feb 14th at the home of Ruth Burrill each member to bring two articles to the value of 50 cents…Berdice Gibson was welcomed as a member of the Guild…” Jan 21 1956. As mentioned there are hundreds of women’s names recorded in these books representing members over the years. Some members seem to have been “lifers” active in the guild from 1934 through the 1960s. A tiny sampling of the many women referenced include: S. Evelyn Lindquist 1896-1977 Ebba Wise 1898-1984 Cora Shores 1906-1969 Mollie Wrin 1903-1995 Marion Fulton 1907-1998 Katherine Wright 1897-1971 Maud Averill 1903-1987 Gladys Robinson 1902-1978 Hazel Haley 1904-1982 Doris Briggs 1905-1995 Olive Briggs 1900-1989 Winnifred Blanchard 1917-1989 Meredith Murch 1917-1980 Beryl Wentworth 1903-1983 among many others. This pair of manuscripts would be an excellent addition to a collection related to the Boston area Christian charities women’s social clubs or women in leadership positions. It would be an exceedingly handy tool for one interested in Massachusetts genealogy or history in general. The books measure 10.5x8 inches and 9.5x8 inches respectively. They are both in overall good condition with normal age wear particularly with a peeling and cracking spine on the earlier book. Pages are all in tact. Both books are about 95% complete. The 1934-1944 book contains nearly 298 pages of manuscript minutes members lists and financial recordings while the 1950-1964 book contains nearly 295 pages of the same.

En su fuga sabía que sólo tenía dos opciones: caminar o reventar.‎

‎ELIAS D SMITH‎

‎1858 HANDWRITTEN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL AND DIARY OF A WELL KNOWN PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY MAN WHO WILL SOON BE A SERGEANT IN THE CIVIL WAR‎

‎PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY NJ. Good. 1858. On offer is an interesting pre Civil War handwritten relic of New Jersey Americana being the original 1858 manuscript journal and diary of Elias D. Smith of Phillipsburg New Jersey who would go on to serve as a Quarter Master Sergeant in the 14th New Jersey Volunteers during the Civil War. In a sporadic manner many days he wrote a full page about what he did and how he felt and about the people places and events of the day. He would also expound on some point of politics or a moment in history and its affect on America or the State. Historians and researchers concerned with the politics of religion American sentiment about their old Colonial masters the British and commerce and trade the social scene the arts and the era in general will find a wealth of opinion and observation by Mr. Smith who begins with a flourish: "Sacred To The Memory of By-gone Days" he writes then dating the commencement at 1858. This is a large 10½ x 8¼ inch page-a-day journal and while Elias is sporadic in entries - he writes almost daily from January 3rd the first page has been excised through March 15th but none until September 22nd and then off and on until the 1st of December - he writes densely filling most pages entirely. Here's a snippet: "Mrs. Harris and Phebe on Tract Society business & I do wonder how she ever made up her mind to come out in such a rain as she did to come here. While she and Mother and Mat were busy with their tracts Phebe Martha Hill Walter and I played Monkey cards and Masqueraders and such like. We also had some singing - tip-top of course - and so we fooled around the evening. I say fooled because it certainly seemed a waste of time and yet I could think of nothing else to entertain the company."

‎Elijah Barwell Impey‎

‎Memoirs of Sir Elijah Impey, Knt‎

‎About The Book : The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed, than upon their own intrinsic merits or defects. This is an axiom, approaching indeed to a truism, applicable to all times and countries, but more especially to our own; where, for so many generations, government has avowedly been carried on upon the principle of balancing party against party; and where, until quite recently, no public man seems to have thought that we could be governed in any other manner. It was the lot of my father to enter the service of his country, at a period when party heat and violence had attained to their greatest height; and it was his misfortune to excite the personal enmity of a man, who became, in a manner, the oracle and prompter of a faction, the most intemperate, and, at the same time, the most able, persevering, and influential, that ever sate upon the Opposition benches: I allude to Sir Philip Francis. This is not the place to descant upon the character of that gentlemen; it will be fully developed hereafter. But I think it highly important, thus early in this work, to premise, in a summary way, what manner of man he was, who originated these proceedings. About The Author : Elijah Barwell Impey (1780-1849); Parents: Elijah Impey, Educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, he served briefly in the dragoons and published poetry. In the course of my work, The author have repeatedly announced my intention of depositing the Family MSS. and other papers (upon which this volume is mainly founded), in the Library of the British Museum. The author have now only to announce that those hooks and papers have been so deposited, and that they are now accessible to every man of letters, that may wish to study an important chapter in Indian history, or to test the correctness of my numerous quotations and references. The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed.‎
