1812ref. 19588Flushing Queens 1812. Very good condition. Obligation dated March 24 1812 Flushing Township in Queens County New York. Regarding $300 owed to James Cornwall of the City of New York and signed by Charles P Cornwall although the signature is torn away. Witnessed by Robert W. Rumsey and George Perry. Notes in pencil on verso showing payment of $285.08 in 1826. 7 1/2 x 12 1/2" folded. Charles P. Cornwall was a large landowner in Queens in the early 1800s with Bayside Farm being the most valuable of his properties. In 1838 Cornwall named Thomas Whitson and John Nostrand his neighbors as trustees empowered to sell as much of his real estate as was needed to cover his debts and to lease the rest of it to cover his living expenses. They sold Cornwall's Bayside Farm for $15000 to Samuel Willetts of New York in 1838. The trustees using some of the assets from the sale then made a loan to Elisha Hall of Newburgh NY for $6000. Cornwall died in 1839 Hall failed to repay the interest or principal and the trustees were sued. The case gives an interesting perspective on the value of property in Queens at the time: "His Cornwall's preference for farms over city property differs from the opinion of most well informed and shrewd capitalists; but it may nevertheless be well doubted whether a farm situated in a populous neighborhood and near several great thoroughfares is not safer for a permanent investment than any city property".

Part of the Biographies in Latter-day Saint History series. Emmeline B. Wells 1828-1921 was born in Petersham Massachusetts. She served as the fifth General President of the Relief Society a position which she held for 11 years. When Emmeline B. Wells took on this public role she was 82 years old- an age when most men and women have been long retired. Not only was she was a wife and mother but she was also a prolific writer and a proponent of women's rights particularly during the woman suffrage movement in the United States. Brigham Young University professor emeritus of history Carol Cornwall Madsen writes in her article Emmeline B. Wells: A Fine Soul Who Served Ensign July 2003 "By the end of the 1870s Emmeline was considered one of the 'leading sisters' of the Church. Her association with the Exponent had made her name well known in Latter-day Saint circles and her written contributions to eastern women's papers refuting the misconceptions about LDS women had brought her name to the attention of national suffragists. She reminded the readers of these papers that Latter-day Saint women could vote when most of them could not; that LDS women were educated at local colleges and were engaged in many professions including medicine and law when most other women were not; and that they headed their own organizations and contributed to the economic welfare of their communities.
