ALL SET FOR HIS FIRST LEAP is Canadian Paratrooper, Sgt H.R. Bowlby, Yarmouth, N.S. After five jumps he will get his wings. Major Harold R. Bowlby – World War II Veteran
Prologue — Rather than singling out one individual who has made a contribution to our Country, I have chosen to do this project on a group of individuals. This group is all the men and women who served in the Canadian Armed Forces during the Second World War. The person I have chosen to represent this group is Major Harold R. Bowlby, 1st Canadian Paratroop Battalion – Royal Canadian Army – my grandfather.
I was born on September 12, 1917 in the small village of Wilmot in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Here, I grew up on our family farm with my parents, a younger brother and sister, Arthur and Marian, my grandmother and great grandmother. Life seemed great to me even though there were chores, long hikes to school, hand-me-down clothes, and none of the luxuries of life that we have today for work or play. The farm provided us with plenty of good food, including vegetables, fruit, eggs, meat, milk products and honey. This helped our family get through the depression years. School work was a cinch for me and I graduated with honours in 1934 to take up a career in banking with the Royal Bank of Canada.
The out break of World War II in 1939 changed all that. Shortly after this, I resigned from the bank and enlisted in the West Nova Regiment. After completing basic training, I awaited orders to go overseas to England. About this time, volunteers were requested to form Canada’s first ever paratroop battalion. I volunteered among the many and was the second man chosen in Canada to form this battalion. We did initial jump training with the American Army in Fort Benning, Georgia. We then were qualified as instructors and returned to Camp Shilo, Manitoba to instruct other Canadian soldiers.
Our unit arrived in England in July of 1943 and began a long series of advanced combat training. During a training jump in England in late 1943, I had a horrifying experience – my parachute did not open and I thought I was a goner. However, a short distance from the ground, my secondary chute partially opened enough to break my fall. I was laid up in hospital for awhile. After my release from the hospital, I jumped again and transferred to the British Intelligence Service and spent the next few months learning to become a spy.
In early June, 1944, shortly before the D-Day Invasion, in the dead of night, I parachuted into France. part of my mission was to make contact with the French Resistance to establish escape routes for troops of the invasion. With a cyanide capsule drilled and embedded into one of my teeth, I had orders to bite should I be caught by the enemy. It would serve no purpose to discuss any further details of my mission into France. I was merely doing my duty as were hundreds of thousands of other Canadian service men and women. I was luckier than many and was able to return home following the was.
But I did not return home to the same Canada that I left. What was a very young and immature country was now a place of hope and prosperity; it was a land of people who were proud to have stood on their own feet for the first time in history. We had declared war ourselves and fought with the Allies with distinction and honour for freedom. My comrades and I were proud to contribute to this change. We no longer took freedom for granted.

Herman Bedak, also known as Chaim Eliazer Bedak, was the son of Leib Bedak and Pesha Gordorovsky. He was probably born in Augustów, Poland (or Letvia). He married Dora Feigel Bialystok, who changed her name to Dora Petenbaum. During the First World War, they took the Turkish nationality, which made it possible them for to emigrate to the Netherlands without difficulty. Herman Bedak worked as a cinema manager in the Netherlands. He worked at Thalia and Alhambra in The Hague, Roxy in Leiden, and Casino and Roxy in The Hague (in that order). 

Herman was naturalized on 24 Jul 1875 in Boston, Massachusetts. The name Kupfer H[erman] is mentioned in successive editions of the Des Moines City Directory:

DROWNINGS AT DES MOINES.Des Moines, July 5. — This city furnished her quota of victims to the Des Moines river yesterday, a man and a boy. Late in the afternoon a gentleman by the name of H. E. Kupfer, living at 112 Chestnut street, wend down to the river just below the old mill, accompanied by his two boys. The latter went out wading in the edge of the water. One of them went beyond his depth and the father seeing his danger plunged in to save him. Someone on the bank gave the alarm and Elmer Wickham ran around to the other side of the mill while Col. Olmstead jumped into a boat and rowed up to the dam and pushed over. No one was able to reach the man, and Mr. Wickham having his clothes on was compelled to head for the shore in order to save himself. Mr. Fitzgerald who had followed Olmstead to the bank jumped off to save the boy but was taken with a cramp and his daring effort to save the boy’s life nearly cost him his own. Col. Olmstead and Mr. Griffiths got the boy out before he went down for the last time and the colonel returned with Messrs. Hartley and Wickham and picked up Mr. Kupfer. They took him ashore and done all they could but life was extinct. Mr. Kupfer was about 30 years of age and leaves a wife and three children. (Source: Atlantic Daily Telegraph, July 6, 1888.) 

His lifetime career as a printer took him and his family to Albuquerque, NM and later to Lubbock where he formed his own printing business, STR8s Fotographix, staying there until his retirement. He had been a resident of Amarillo for the past 14 months. 

His middle-name was in honor of Rev. Joseph Crandall (Fourth Baptist Church, Sackville, New Brunswick). Joseph Crandall Skinner was a dentist, and member of the Boston Dental Institute. (Source: The Dental Cosmos, S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Co.)

From the Saint John Morning News, March 11, 1861 — We are pleased to notice the name of Joseph C. Skinner, a native of this Province, on the list of members of the Graduatory Class in the medical dept. of Harvard University of March 6th.

From The Medical register for the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Charlestown and Chelsea, Press of J. Wilson, 1873, p. 52 — J. C. Skinner, M.D., Demonstrator of Anatomy.

His name is mentionned in United States Border Crossings from Canada to United States, 1895-1956 as a brother of Walter Scott Burrill. 

His preparatory education was acquired in the public school in the vicinity of his home, and was supplemented by a course in Flushing Institute. He was reared on a farm, and assisted in the work thereof during his early years, thus gaining a thorough knowledge of that necessary branch of work, and he continued along the same line in his native town until January 9, 1888, when he left the farm and removed to Centerport, Huntington Township, Suffolk, New York, locating on a farm there which he conducted for two years, and then entered the employ of James Cockroff, having charge of selling the publication entitled Encyclopedia of Forms, for the Edward Denison Law Publishing Company. Later, for one year, he was in the employ of the Northport Steamboat Company, discharging his duties in an acceptable manner. During his residence in Northport, to which town he went in 1896, he reorganized, equipped and uniformed its Fire Department of sixty men, of which he was the chief for four years, after which, in 1900, he returned to Centerport, following farming there until 1901. He gained his first experience in the Fire Department at Newtown, Long Island, which he joined in 1875 and of which he became foreman, and served for two years. He was one of the prime factors in the organization of the Centerport Fire Department, which he served as chief for a number of years. While chief of the Northport Fire Department, it took the prize at the county fair, and later, when he became chief of the Centerport Fire Department, it took the first prize over the Northport Fire Department. Probably few men in the United States have taken so active and prominent a part in fire department matters, his term of active service extending over thirty years. When Mr. Denton retired from the position of chief of the Centerport Fire Department, his company presented him with a solid gold badge in token of their appreciation of his efforts in their behalf.
 For a period of more than four years, Mr. Denton represented his district on the Republican county committee, took an active part in planning campaigns and in advancing the work of the Republicn party, the principles of which he believes to be for the best form of government. He gave up farming in 1901 to enter the Highway Department at Centerport, town of Huntington, as commissioner of highways and served three terms of two years each. he had two hundred and seventy-three miles of road to supervise, and during his term of office he built thirty miles of stone road. At the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of huntington, at which time President Roosevelt was a guest, and Mr. Denton was grand marshal of the parade. he was also grand marshal and a committee of one at the opening of the Cross Island Trolley. He took a keen interest in the Indian History of New York State, and sought and collected many relics of that once great race.
 In 1910, Mr. Denton disposed of his property at Centerport, Long Island, and removed to his present home on Park Street, West Springfield, MA. Immediately upon coming here, he began to take an active part in political affairs. It soon became known that he had lived in the shadow of Sagamore Hill, the home of ex-President Roosevelt, who at that time was beginning the formation of the Progressive party, and at the first meeting of that party in Hampden county, Mr. Denton was elected as the president of the organization, and during the entire campaign he took a very active part in all things connected with the activities of that party. During the great parade which took place in Springfield, in 1912, Mr. Denton acted as grand marshal and his first aide was the well-known Indian Scout, Jack Crawford, and among the guests of honor was Governor Johnson, of California, well-known as one of the leading Progressives of the United States.
 Mr. Denton also assisted in the organization of the Board of Commerce in West Springfield. Among his other activities, which have been of great importance to West Springfield, are his services in connection with the location of the West Springfield end of the new bridge across the Connecticut River. On December 15, 1914, a commission was appointed, consisting of Frank L. Worthy (since deceased), John C. Brickett, L.F. Ivers, and Henry H. Denton, the latter being the president. After three years of strenuous work, the object for which this commission was formed was accomplished, and when the new bridge is completed its termination in West Springfield will be the present site of the old bridge which was built more than one hundred years ago. He is a member of the Auto Club, which he joined in 1910, and in whose affairs he has since taken an active part. Upon the declaration of war by President Wilson, in 1917, the Home Defense League was formed and Mr. Denton was elected captain of the flying squadron, and he is also a member of the Committee of Public Safety, which acts in conjunction with the Police Department and carries with it the power of constable. On October 24, 1917, he was appointed one of the fuel commissioners, MA branch of the United States Fuel Commission, and served as secretary of this committee. He is also chairman of the Soldiers’ Information Committee of West Springfield, the object of this committee being to obtain information relating to the men at the front, for the benefit of their relatives. For six years he was a member of the National Guard, having enlisted in the Seventeenth Separate Company, in 1882, and each year received a bar for qualifying as a sharpshooter. Mr. Denton is a student of mineralogy, and has spent considerable time in getting together a rare collection of minerals from all over the world.

In 1807, Rev. Manning formed the First Baptist Church of Cornwallis Township at Upper Canard, Kings County. Eaton says that he was ordained over the Cornwallis New Light Church in 1795, and that his physique was powerful, his temper stern, and he carried a certain “majestic air of command”. When he decided to form a Baptist Church, the men who left the New Light Church to join him included William Chipman.
 The family of Peter Manning came to Nova Scotia in 1769 or 1770 either directly from Ireland or, according to family tradition, after a stay in Philadelphia. The 1770 census lists him as a resident of Falmouth Township, at the head of a family numbering nine. Although born Roman Catholic, all the Mannings appear to have become at least nominal Protestants by the 1770s. In 1776 Peter Manning murdered a neighbour, the stepfather of the Reverend John Payzant*. For his crime he was tried, convicted, and hanged.
 Little is known of the Manning family’s life in the Falmouth area after the tragedy. Edward grew into a tall (6 feet 4 inches) and very strong young man, a good farmer, and an excellent woodsman; at the age of 16, armed only with a hatchet, he killed three bears. According to his own later account, he led a “riotous,” wicked life, although it was probably a fairly normal one for the times.
 The Great Awakening, begun in 1776 and led by another Falmouth resident, the charismatic preacher Henry Alline*, had a tremendous impact on Manning. For the rest of his life he retained a vivid picture of Alline, with tears flowing, begging him to flee from the wrath to come. It was not until 27 April 1789, however, that Manning was finally converted, through the ministry of Payzant. Clearly the single most important event of his life, his conversion was an intense experience that came at the culmination of a period of great anguish and would shape his entire future.
 Shortly after his conversion, Manning joined Payzant’s New Light Congregational church in Cornwallis and soon felt the “call” to preach to his fellow Nova Scotians. Although possessing little formal education, Manning began to itinerate in the Allinite tradition in 1789, preaching his first sermon in February 1790 at Onslow. He became part of a dynamic group of young men who had been “awakened” in the revivals that had swept the Maritime colonies since 1776. Over the next 20 years they would do much to transform the religious life of the region. In the New England planter communities already stirred by Alline and in the newly settled and unstable loyalist areas, Manning, his brother James, Harris Harding, Joseph Dimock*, Thomas Handley Chipman, and others carried revival to new heights – and extremes.
 The move toward antinomianism was perhaps a logical development for some of these new religious leaders and their enthusiastic followers. Cornwallis, an area of early support for the Great Awakening, became the centre of the “new dispensation” movement, which insisted that the “new birth” was the means by which God spoke directly to mankind, thus placing the convert beyond church ruIes, ministerial leadership, or even scriptural injunctions. In 1791 this extreme position, championed by the Mannings, Harding, and Lydia Randall, split the Cornwallis church, and its influence spread rapidly outward from there. The following year, according to a distraught Payzant, the Manning brothers “came to the Church meeting, and began to dispute, and condemn the Church Rules, and say that all orders were done away, and that the Bible was a dead letter, and they would preach without it.” The chaos and disorder – both doctrinal and social – brought on by this movement, and the uncontrolled excesses to which some of its people went, showed Manning and other would-be leaders that they had unleashed forces they could no longer control. Over the next few years there would be a rapid retreat by Manning from this extremist position. The “new dispensation” interlude greatly influenced the rest of Manning’s life, forcing him in later years to seek stability and unity within the confines of a more structured church.
 Manning attempted to return to full-time farming in 1792 but could not stay away from preaching. By 1793 he had moved beyond Nova Scotia and preached extensively in New Brunswick, especially in the Saint John River valley, laying the foundations for future Baptist development. There he was arrested for preaching without a licence from the government, but, according to tradition, the case was dismissed because the magistrate was so impressed by Manning’s abilities. In his lifetime Manning would see major strides made toward the removal of such restrictions, making a significant contribution in this field himself.
 On 19 Oct. 1795 Manning was ordained as pastor of the Cornwallis New Light Congregational Church, an uneasy alliance of “awakened” Congregationalists and Baptists. For the next few years Manning baptized adults and infants, by sprinkling or immersion, according to the wishes of those concerned.
 The excesses of the “new dispensation” movement, the erratic and unorthodox behaviour of Harris Harding, and the continuing instability of the evangelical churches in the Maritimes led Payzant and Manning in 1797 to urge the New Light clergy of Nova Scotia to form an association, its first full meeting taking place the following year. “The necessity of order and discipline” continued to be uppermost in the minds of the clergy, if not of their congregations, forcing them to consider a more formal organization by 1799. The late 1790s also saw an important movement toward the Baptist position of believer’s baptism by immersion. Manning was convinced of the correctness of this stand and was himself baptized by immersion in 1798, although he continued to minister to his mixed congregation.
 In 1800, at a meeting at Lower Granville, the association was transformed into the Nova Scotia Baptist Association, organized on the “mixed communion” plan. Although Manning is generally credited with engineering the move, it was actually Chipman who organized it, being opposed by Manning, who felt it dealt unfairly with their New Light–Congregational brethren, especially Payzant. Over the next few years, however, most of the New Light Congregational churches in Nova Scotia were transformed into Baptist churches. In a similar manner, most of the New Light clergy not only accepted the Baptist mode of adult baptism by immersion but also shifted their doctrinal stance away from the free-will approach of Alline and back to the Calvinism of their Congregational forerunners.
 The difficulties of leading a church composed of both Baptists and Congregationalists became painfully apparent to Manning soon after 1800. In 1807 the rupture finally came and Manning, his wife, and seven followers left the Cornwallis New Light Congregational church and formed a separate Baptist church; Manning was ordained as a Baptist preacher the following year. Over the next few years the New Light Congregational church was virtually destroyed as more and more of its adherents left to join the dissidents.
 It is not clear from the church records whether Manning was forced out or left of his own accord. It was perhaps no coincidence that his departure coincided with his acquisition of “some share of worldly property” (from an unspecified source) which enabled him to purchase his own farm and to be more or less financially independent for the rest of his life. He could now follow the dictates of his conscience without having to rely on the support of a large congregation. Whatever the cause or the occasion, Manning would remain, with one brief interruption, the pastor of the First Cornwallis Baptist Church until his death in 1851.
 Manning served as pastor of a very large area – all of Cornwallis Township, Kings County. From his home in Upper Canard, he attempted to minister to an expanding population, mainly of New England origin. In spite of the claims of later Baptist historians, the church records and Manning’s own extensive diary make it clear that the relationship between congregation and pastor was often a rocky one. Manning himself created some of the difficulties through his inability to leave behind completely his itinerant beginnings. In addition, it clearly took far longer than has previously been assumed for the church to accept fully a settled minister and Baptist doctrine. Manning’s years as pastor were tension filled, acrimonious, and at times debilitating, for both pastor and congregation.
 Throughout his long ministry his congregation never managed to pay him an adequate salary, a problem common in most Maritime Baptist churches of this period. Although people frequently gave gifts to their pastor – usually in kind (turnips, a sack of grain, a load of wood), rarely in money – there was no organized attempt to provide for Manning’s support. Forced at various times to farm on an occasional basis, to teach school, and to sell books, he was thus often prevented from devoting his entire time and energy to the spiritual welfare of his people.
 More serious was the difficulty Manning had with his people over matters of doctrine. He himself, through his extensive study and fine intellect, had a clear understanding of Baptist doctrine. There is no indication that this understanding was shared by most of those who joined his church over the many years of his ministry. Whenever a popular speaker, of whatever doctrinal stripe, passed through the township, Manning’s people flocked to hear him. At one stage he complained about “this flood of false fire, and doctrine that is prevailing among the people.” Free-will preachers were especially welcomed, even by Manning’s own deacons, suggesting that Alline’s doctrinal impact was perhaps greater and longer lasting than has been generally recognized.
 In later life Manning wrote that he had spent 35 years attempting “to protect the people from the various kinds of doctrine, and the cunning craftiness of subtle, and designing men.” His frequent lack of success underscored the doctrinal confusion that persisted in the Baptist denomination long after its founding. The willingness of the Cornwallis people to follow new leaders – both Baptist and non-Baptist – and the frequency with which this took place, especially during Manning’s absences or illnesses, would seem to indicate that at heart the people were not interested in doctrine at all. They were Baptists because Manning had given them forceful, dynamic leadership, and he was a Baptist. It was a commitment based on personality, not conviction. If he were not constantly on the spot, they would follow someone else, Baptist or non-Baptist, Calvinist or not. It is no wonder that, in drawing up a list of the things that bothered him about his people, he included as the fifth and sixth items: “a neglect of reading the Scriptures and other good books, so they don’t know when the truth is preached and when not” and “an itching of ears to hear strange preachers.”
 It was this instability within his own church, coupled with the lessons taught by the unfettered enthusiasm of the “new dispensation” movement, that led Manning to seek greater stability for the entire denomination. In this effort are to be found his greatest contributions to the growth and evolution of the Baptist movement. Nowhere is the influence more evident than in the field of education.
 Although Manning possessed only minimal formal education himself, he clearly had a keen, incisive mind and was by no means an ignorant man. For his entire life his reading was both extensive and catholic. As the denomination grew and the number of ministers increased, he became more and more concerned that doctrinal diversity would tear the denomination apart. Education, he felt, was the key to unity for the denomination and to greater usefulness for the emerging clergy. He was really in the forefront of the movement that was transforming Maritime society in the first half of the 19th century. The move from the anti-intellectualism of the Great Awakening and its aftermath to the new zeal for education was not an easy or a rapid one, but the change was indeed being made. His interest in, and efforts on behalf of, education as early as 1819 led to an offer for him to move to Waterville (Maine), where he was to have helped with the development of Colby College, the Baptist college there.
 In 1828 the steady influence of Edward Manning combined with the driving enthusiasm of Halifax Baptists such as Edmund Albern Crawley* and John Pryor* to force a rather surprised Nova Scotia Baptist Association to agree to the founding of a Baptist school as the first step toward providing potential Baptist leaders with the education that Manning so keenly felt they needed. He was elected president of the newly created Nova Scotia Baptist Education Society, a position he was to occupy for the rest of his life. The founding in Wolfville of Horton Academy, a boys’ school that from the beginning was to be open to all denominations, followed immediately. On 15 July 1830 Manning proudly laid the cornerstone of the new academy building (Horton Academy remained in operation until 1959).
 In 1838, in reaction to the exclusive nature of both King’s College, Windsor, and Dalhousie College, Halifax, the education society, presided over by Manning, voted to proceed to the next step – a college. By January 1839 classes at Queen’s (after 1841 Acadia) College had begun. On 16 July 1843 Manning, with his few years of formal education, presided over the first graduation exercises, for a class numbering four. He lived long enough to witness the very real impact that Horton Academy and Acadia College were to have on the denomination as a whole. Through his influence over younger clergymen, and his role in the establishment of Horton and Acadia, he contributed more than anyone else to the creation of a Maritime Baptist orthodoxy.
 Manning was also keenly interested in strengthening the denomination by seeking the removal of some of the legal disabilities under which dissenters laboured in the Maritime colonies. The right to perform marriages by licence and the right to incorporate were two important “rights” sought by Manning and others. Beginning in 1819 he worked in concert with other Baptists, and with the Presbyterians led by Thomas McCulloch*, in an effort to secure equality with the Church of England, an aim finally achieved within his own lifetime.
 Another contribution to the denomination made by Manning, with perhaps mixed results, was the successful wooing of a number of dissidents in Halifax’s St Paul’s Church (Anglican) in the mid 1820s. It was Manning, through his niece’s husband, John Ferguson, who more than anyone else drew that significant group into the Baptist fold. James William Johnston*, Edmund Crawley, John Pryor, and others would add a new and at times discordant dimension to the denomination, with far-reaching implications, politically, socially, theologically, and educationally.
 With Charles Tupper*, Manning was one of the first of the Baptist ministers to sense the significance of the temperance movement as it swept into the Maritime region from Maine in 1829. Immediately convinced of the correctness of the abstinence position, he led in forming a temperance society in Cornwallis and helped articulate the stand that became a virtual article of faith for many Baptist churches for nearly a century and a half.
 He was also the first Baptist leader to take a conspicuous interest in the history of the denomination. As early as 1812 he wrote a short account of the Baptists in the Maritimes in response to questions sent him by the Reverend David Benedict of Rhode Island, who wished to publish a history of the Baptists in North America. It was probably his awareness of history that caused him to retain so carefully his voluminous correspondence and to keep so meticulous a diary, which together form the basis for any present-day understanding of the denomination in that period.
 Manning also gave leadership in the move towards active participation in foreign missions. In 1814 he expressed his concerns for the “heathen in foreign lands” in a circular letter to the churches of the Baptist association, the first important plea for Baptist involvement in foreign missions. In this he was greatly influenced by his reading of American and British Baptist periodicals. He returned to this theme time after time, clearly wishing that he himself could go. His efforts led to the sending of the first Baptist missionary, Richard E. Burpee, to Burma in 1845, the beginning of more than 140 years of involvement in foreign missions.
 In the same important circular letter, Manning also expressed great concern for home missions. It would be at least partly through his influence and efforts that the denomination spread so rapidly in the Maritime region in the first half of the 19th century. As well as encouraging others, he himself travelled throughout the Maritime region and into Maine, founding new churches and reviving old ones. In addition to actual visits, he extended his authority throughout the Maritimes by a vigorous correspondence. When individuals or churches experienced difficulties, it was to Manning that they turned. It was he as well who kept the association in touch with Baptist development in the United States. In all of these matters, he sought to chart a moderate course for the denomination, avoiding what he saw as the twin dangers of excessive enthusiasm on the one hand and “dead formalism” on the other. Such stability as the denomination possessed by the mid 19th century was due in no small measure to Edward Manning.
 It is ironic that he had more success in leading the denomination than he had with his own church or family. The Cornwallis church gave him endless trouble and his family was little better. Manning’s wife, obviously disliking his frequent absences, became “ill” about 1815, suffering almost constantly from “palpitations of the heart” and “the glooms,” as Manning called her afflictions. Mrs Manning was, however, still well enough 36 years later to walk in her husband’s funeral procession. The constant fear of his wife’s imminent death, the lingering deaths of two of his three daughters, and the frequent illnesses that he had to contend with as pastor caused him to become morbidly concerned with his own health. His diary is filled with references to his physical condition and his expected death. At times his own poor health (real or imagined) and that of his wife seriously hampered his effectiveness as pastor and denominational leader.
 Manning’s death in early 1851 marked the end of the formative years of Baptist development. The men of his generation had seen the movement in the Maritimes emerge out of the confusion and uncertainty following the Great Awakening and the American revolution to the position of a large and stable denomination. No one contributed more to that development than did Manning. The Baptist /Christian/ /Messenger/ paid tribute to this remarkable leader in the letters, articles, and editorials on news of his death. The final acknowledgement of his stature came when this paper, pointing out that “the history of his life is the history of the rise and progress of the Baptist interest in these Provinces,” reported that no one was willing to take on the awesome task of writing the usual “memoir” of his life.

In the fall of 1880, H. H. Terwilliger, of Mason, Ingham, became an associate owner of The Clam Lake News, but retired on January 1, 1881, to engage in the banking business at Montague, Muskegon county.

SOLVENT BANK OWNER DISAPPEARS IN MICHIGAN.
Sends Trust Deeds from Detroit to His Home and Says He is Tired of So Much Responsability.
Special to The New York Times.
 MUSKEGON, Mich., Nov. 20. — Henry H. Terwilliger, for twenty years a private banker at Montague, has gone and he says he will not return. According to an investigation by experts the Montague Bank has $15,000 more assets thant liabilities.Terwilliger went to Detroit Nov. 21, and wrote back from here. The letter contained an assignment an trust deeds making W. F. Nufer and C. L. Streng trustees to conduct the business. The deeds strip their maker of everything, and provide $60 a month for his wife and daughter. The trustees refuse the trust.
 Terwilliger wrote to his son, saying the family would never see him again. The bank’s assets are about $80,000. This statement accompanies the trust deeds:
 “Henry Terwilliger, of humble birth and lowly spirit, unhappily finds himself bearing respondibilites which wear him and rob him of time which he feels he ought to have the liberty to spend in more congenial employment. Nobody will be able to understand his difficulties or appreciate the conditions which drive him to adopt a course of action which may be considered cowardly, if not dishonorable. Neither can any one know what pain it gives him or how keenly he realizes what sacrifice he is making or how deeply he regrets the trouble he is making his friends and patrons, but he has shaped matters so as to fully protect every interest, and is absolutely confident that nothing worse than temporary inconvenience can result to any customer of the bank, as he leaves $15,000 in excess of all liabilities.
 “The cashier dos not carry away a dollar of anybody’s money.Therefore let no man say ‘Twig’ is a defaulter, a bank wrecker, or a thief. He has the utmost abhorrence of such a reputation, a fate which impends over every private banker doing business alone, however honest or smart he may be. No one man ought to have the care of the money of a community. Such a care will stagger any man sooner or later, kill him or wreck him, work him do death, or enslave him if he succeeds an blast his life if he fails. Banks ought to be incorporated.
 “The business men of Montague, through ignorance, cowardice, folly and jealousy, turned down a project to incorporate the Montague bank. Let them now awake to the importance of action in this direction. Terwilliger hopes that by assigning and placing himself out of touch that arrangements can and will be made to continue the business with but little interruption. As there is no reason for any anxiety whatsoever about the funds, let all depositors view the matter sensibly and philosophically, and allow the worried banker to go in peace, and take a vacation, the first in twenty years.
 “The gossips will go into hysterics, of course, and there will be plenty of abuse an ridicule, for the milk of human kindness is not equal to all, but there are those whom memory and conscience will compel to speak charitably of the absent banker, and there are others who will loyally efend him out of pure friendship and sympathy.
 “He goes bearing malice toward none, sincerely regretting his weaknesses and errors and repenting his offenses, and remembering gratefully the kindness extended to him and his family during twenty years of life in Montague.
 “H. H. TERWILLIGER.
 “Detroit, Mich., Nov. 23, 1901.”

CASE IS ONE OF ELOPEMENT
So People at Chicago Believe Relative to H. H. Terwilliger
 Chicago, Dec. 3. — That Henry H. Terwilliger, the missing Montague Mich., banker, came to Chicago and met Miss Minnie Schneider either in the city or in some town near its limits is the opinion expressed by the young woman’s uncle, R. D. Tobeck., of 53 Palmer avenue. Miss Schneider, who is a resident of Oceana, Mich., and has known Terwilliger for several years, was a guest at Tobeck’s home from a week ago Saturday until Monday of last week.
 She went away without giving any definite destination, and it is the belief of both Tobeck and his wife that after leaving their house she met Terwilliger. According to the story of Tobeck, Miss Schneider appeared at his house unexpectedly about 8 o’clock on Saturday morning a week ago. She announced that she intended remaining in the city a few days, and then had planned to visit friends in Hammond, Ind., and Grand Rapids, Mich.
 

In the spring of 1942, at the age of twenty, Philip R. Spurr gave up his job in Digby, Nova Scotia to gain a wider experience of life. He joined the Royal Canadian Army and, after basic training, set off for front-line action on the battlefields of Europe. His wish for excitement and adventure was about to be granted. This is the story of the first forty-seven years of Philip’s life, until he emigrated to England and became a permanent resident of Weston-super-Mare in 1969.

Tributes to author who never saw his book published (May 2011)
Philip Spurr began writing his life story a little over a year ago and completed it earlier this year.
 The book covers his life in Canada, where he was born in the village of Tarbrook Mines in Nova Scotia, up until he moved to Hazeldene Road in Weston in 1969.
 It traces his life in the Royal Canadian Army, where he was posted to the Netherlands during the Second World War, his time at university and subsequent jobs in the sales industry, and when he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force where he met his future wife Pam.
 But Philip, whose autobiography is published tomorrow (Fri), died on May 8 in Weston General Hospital, aged 89, after suffering from pneumonia.
 His son Michael and daughter-in-law Heather this week paid tribute to Philip. Heather, aged 48, told the Mercury: “He was quite a character, and eccentric but in a very good way. “He was very pleased he had the book published as it was a great achievement and he was looking forward to the publication date – it is a shame he couldn’t be here to see it.”
 Michael, aged 49, added: “He was a good dad to me even though I didn’t appreciate it at the time. “For me it is really great for people to read about the life story of an ordinary person from Canada who went through the war, came out of it and built himself a new life.”
 Philip and English-born Pam moved to Weston after Pam was diagnosed with liver cancer and they decided to opt for treatment on the NHS. She died in 1972 but Philip stayed in the town as he considered it to be his new home.
 Michael said: “He was very happy in Weston and loved it here. “He used to go to the library everyday and was very interested in both American and English politics, and he loved going for walks around the town.”
 Philip’s funeral was held last Friday at Weston crematorium. He also leaves behind grandchildren Isobel, aged 20, and Jonathan, aged 17.

J. Russell Spalding was a Boston Chemist/Apothecary from around 1851 until 1862. His primary business address was on Tremont Row, initially at #23. The Boston Directory in 1862 listed E. M. Skinner as the successor to J. Russell Spalding at the same address. Spalding sold several other proprietary medicines, in addition to his hair preparations. In 1852 and 1853, along with his other products, Spalding was selling “Twigg’s Hair Dye.”
 The Rosemary was advertised starting around 1852. The product at that time, made all the usual claims for hair preparations, plus it claimed to “cure headache,” and “kill hair eaters.” In 1865, E. M. Skinner was still selling the Rosemary, and he said that it had been selling for 14 years.

Jackson v. Lord Viscount Milsington, for Crim. Con. Judgment in this cause was suffered to go by default, and a jury was on Saturday impannelled before the Sheriff, to assess the damages. Mr. Jackson is an eminent Solicitor, and nephew of the late Sir Wm. Middleton; his lady, one of the daughters of Col. Bishopp, of Sussex, and niece to Sir Geo. Warren. The noble defendant, by whom this lady was seduced, is eldest son to the wealthy Earl of Portmore. After the first intimacy, the intrigue was carried on under the pretence that his Lordship paid his addresses to Miss Bishopp, one of the sisters of Mrs. Jackson. On the discovery of the criminal intercourse, Mrs. Jackson eloped, and has since lived with Lord Milsington. The Jury returned a verdict of 2000£. damages, and costs of suit. It is very extraordinary in the late discovery of adultery with Mrs. M. and adds much to the perplexity of the case that the injured husband, and his venerable father, are, officially, the identical persons to whom, in cases of this nature, it is necessary to apply for redress.

James joined his father in the manufacture of soap at Lawrence, Massachusetts, but at age 21 headed west to Chicago, and Aurora, Illinois, before finally settling in Dubuque, Iowa in 1856 were he purchased a half interest in a small soap factory. He later bought out his partners and expanded the business, with plants in St. Paul and St. Anthony, Minnesota.

Soapmaking had an interesting Dubuque run before being washed up

Beach family: Family does a good job of cleaning up
No one really knows when man first learned to make soap, but before people knew about it, they cleaned themselves with olive oil, plant ashes, bran and sand.In Colonial America, much of the soapmaking was done in the home. Housewives saved their fats and greases from cooking, put them in a large pot and boiled them with a lye made from wood ashes. The result was a useful, but strong, yellow soap. Dubuque’s first soap and candle factory was constructed in 1850 in a small wooden building located at South Locust and Dodge streets, called the F.M. Pleins & Company. In 1856, James Beach, of Dover, N.H., the son of a soap manufacturer, joined the firm by purchasing the interest of James P. Farley. Beach was just 21 years old.
 The candle product was dropped and the company’s name was changed to Pleins & Beach Soap Factory. Pleins sold out to Beach a year later. Twelve years after that, Beach’s eldest son, Edward, joined the company and the name became James Beach & Son.
 Young Beach had graduated from a chemical course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor of arts degree and had a good knowledge of the soapmaking business. To supply the ever-increasing demand for washing and toilet soaps, the company in 1891 built a large three-story brick building on the site and doubled its capacity. Business was very good, and 40 men were employed.Beach’s second son, Jim, came into the firm and the company’s name changed to James Beach & Sons.

 The demand for soap oils increased the use of many new agricultural products. Soap makers used coconut oil, sesame oil and soybean oil.In 1906, machinery was installed for the manufacture of a new product, soap powder. This was the first soap powder mill in the state. The company advertised heavily and presented samples of the new product to Dubuque housewives in order to familiarize them with it.
 Eight million pounds of soap was turned out annually. Six huge kettles were used for cooking the soap, where it was steamed and boiled for six days.Various oils from Ceylon and corn oil were used to scent the finer toilet soaps.By 1910, the factory manufactured several different laundry and toilet soaps. The most popular laundry brand was named “Peosta” and its glycerin hand soap was another favorite. Other kinds made included White Castile and Key City soap powder.
 Although the soap from the Dubuque factory was sold across the country, its principal market was the Midwest.
 In February 1918, James Beach Sr. was accidentally thrown from a horse-drawn sleigh and died. He had been active in civic affairs.
 The soap industry changed. The development of continuous processes for making soap was only one of many steps taken to produce more at less cost.
 Now, synthetic detergents account for about 90 percent of packaged washing products manufactured in the country. New detergents are used to make liquid cleansers and toilet bars for home and industry.

JOHN TERWILLIGER was born on February 24,1827, in Albany, eldest son of George and Nancy (Coughtry) Terwilliger, both natives of that, as was also his paternal grandfather, Simon Terwilliger, who served as a teamster in the Revolutionary War. While Albany County was the home of the veteran during the greater part of his life, he died, at the age of seventy-nine years, in Onondaga County. His wife, whose maiden name was Jane Coon, died when she was seventy-five years old, having reared eight children. George Terwilliger was a carpenter, and also a farmer. He moved in 1834 to the town of Cicero, Onondaga County, where he bought a farm, on which he lived for forty years. He died in Madison County at the age of eighty-six years, his wife at the age of sixty- five. Eight children had been born to them, six sons and two daughters, of whom five are now living: John, the subject of the present sketch, a resident of Sullivan; Elizabeth (Mrs. George Town) and Jane (Mrs. John Edgerton), residing in Michigan; James, who died in the late war at Andersonville Prison in 1864; Henry, who died in 1869, leaving a wife and one child; William, living in Indiana; Richard, who died in the service during the Civil War; Stanley, residing at Manlius Station, Onondaga County. The father was a Republican in politics, and the family were Presbyterian in religion.
 John Terwilliger left Albany County when he was about seven years of age, moving with his father to Onondaga County. In this sparsely settled section of the country the district school was a log cabin, with its puncheon floor and rough benches--a striking contrast to the elegant buildings which are now erected for the youthful scholar. He had to trudge many miles to acquire the simple rudiments of learning, and marvellous were the adventures of the urchins who were "treed by a bear" or scared by an Indian as they journeyed through the woods. Simple and frugal were the manners and customs of those days. The mother was cook, nurse, weaver, and tailor for the family; and our subject was eighteen years of age before ever he wore a suit of "store clothes." When he was twenty-five years of age, he started out to work for himself; and, as salt-making was the principal industry of Onondaga, he became a cooper, and was a long while employed in the making of salt-barrels.
 The first piece of land bought by him was a tract of twenty-five acres in the town of Cicero, which he sold shortly afterward, and in 1866 purchased the farm of one hundred and forty acres which he now owns and occupies. He has increased this to one hundred and sixty-five acres, on which he raises wheat, oats, corn, and hay. He gives a great deal of attention to stock-raising, and in his dairy work, prefers Holstein cattle. Mr. Terwilliger’s buildings stand on the spot mentioned in Mrs. Hammond’s “History of Madison County” as the site of the palisade enclosure where in 1780 a band of Tories and Indians who had come from Canada on a marauding expedition left a guard to protect their boats filled with stores, which they had moored in the creek near by, while they went on, and, under command of Johnson, Butler and Brant, burned Schoharie. Captain Vrooman, acting under the orders of General Van Rensselaer, hastening to this old fort with a small body of men, captured the guards and sank the boats, but was himself, with his prisoners, surprised and taken by a detachment of Butler’s rangers, and marched off to Canada.
 The marriage of John Terwilliger and Miss Margaret Morrison took place in 1853. She was born in the town of Cicero, Onondaga, N.Y., January 29, 1836. Her parents, Archibald and Sarah (Conway) Morrison, are natives of Washington, the father having been born in 1811 and the mother in 1817. Their only child is Mrs. Terwilliger. Mr. Morrison is a carpenter, and has always followed the trade. He is an ardent Republican, and has never missed an election.
 Mr. and Mrs. Terwilliger have two children. Sarah, who resides at home, was born in 1858. Arthur, born in 1854, is married, and with his wife and only son, named John Howard, resides on a part of the home farm.
 Mr. Terwilliger is a strong Republican in his political ideas, and unflinchingly supports his party in every election campaign. He has been Commissioner of Highways and Collector in the town of Manlius, and is a stirring, active worker in the district. In the Masonic Order he is a member of Sullivan Lodge, No. 148, F. & A. M. He is a prominent and deservedly esteemed citizen of his county. By reason of his many years in this region he is fully conversant with its history, and, having keen observation and a fine memory, is a delightful mine of information to those wishing to learn of the days that are gone. He and his wife, in their upright and Christian lives, are a beautiful example to the generation around them; and the earnest wish of their fellow-citizens is that they may be spared long in the land.

John Wentworth Clawson (1881-1964) was born in St. John, New Brunswick. He took his bachelors and masters degrees from New Brunswick College in 1901 and 1905. In between he studied at Cambridge University in England. Clawson came to the department of mathematics and physics at Ursinus College in 1907. He taught at Ursinus and lived in Collegeville the rest of his life, spending the years 1947-1952 as dean of the college. Clawson was a charter member of the MAA in 1916 and was elected chairman of the Philadelphia Section in 1935. Earlier he served two one-year stints on the Program Committee (now the Executive Committee) of the section, in 1930 and 1933. Clawson retired as emeritus professor in 1952 at age 70. He was an inveterate problem solver, beginning with his published solution to a problem in the January 1909 issue of the Monthly, ending with the solution to an Advanced Problem in the June/July 1957 issue, and including solutions to over 50 other problems in between. J W. Clawson died in 1964 after having been an MAA member for 48 years.

J. W. Clawson was probably the first to publish a description of an object in triangle geometry now known as the Clawson point. Born in St. John’s, New Brunswisk, Canada, Clawson received the A.B. degree in 1901 from the University of New Brunswick. In 1905, he received the A.M. degree from Cambridge University. From 1907 until his retirement in 1952, Clawson was Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania. During the last six of these years, he was Dean of the College.

Clawson published a book of 63 pages: Geometry of Three Dimensions (Edwards Brothers, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1938) and several journal articles:

Annals of Mathematics:
20 (1919) 232-261 The complete quadrilateral
23 (1921) 40-44 More theorems on the complete quadrilateral

American Mathematical Monthly:
24 (1917) 71- An inversion of the complete quadrilateral
26 (1919) 63- A theorem in the geometry of the triangle
32 (1925) 169- Points on the circumcircle
61 (1954) 161- A chain of circles associated with the 5-line
63 (1956) 306- A chain of circles associated with the n-line
65 (1958) 32- An n-line property

The Clawson point originates in one of Clawson’s problem proposals in the American Mathematical Monthly: no. 3132, submitted in 1925, and solved in v. 33 (1926), page 285. (Source : Faculty Evansville.)

 When John came to Ursinus in the Fall of 1928 he had two things he had to “live down” — he was a local boy and also the son of one of the professors. Because of perseverance, hard work and ability to get along with nearly everyone, John has succeeded in overcoming any obstacles which may have been in his path, and is today one of the most active and best liked members of our class.
 John is a keen-minded, level-headed chap with efficient executive ability as was demonstrated in his fine work in connection with the 1929 "Y" Handbook and in directing the financial policy of the 1932 Ruby.
 Whenever you are looking for John it is an almost sure bet that he may be found down at the "Tim and Ken’s" Garage. He spends a great deal of his leisure time at this place where he has led may "seminars" on topics of the day. We feel sure that John’s genial smile and his ability to get along with the fellow man are going to be treasured asses in his life after college.

Linda is a Registered Nurse. Born and raised in the Ozark region of Missouri, Linda met Dr. (then 1LT in the Air Force) Palmer in San Antonio, where, eight months later, they were married. Leaving shortly after that for Lieutenant Palmer’s assignment in Greece, Linda started a 39-year journey around the world. Since the start of that journey, Linda has been all through Europe, has lived in both Greece and the Netherlands, and has traveled extensively, making friends around the world. What makes her heart beat fast, now, is her three grandchildren, Zachary and Aiden (from son Christian and his wife Kristin), and Quinn Olivia (from daughter Whitney and husband Patrick). Linda’s travels now pretty much are to be with her grandkids. Linda reads so many books that Dr. Palmer can not even keep up with the titles. She is an amazing cook, and enjoys cooking for friends. She has mostly lost her southern drawl, which Dr. Palmer loved to hear, and now speaks “Yankee” like a native (source).

Lloyd George Elliot was born on 1919 in Clarence of Nova Scotia. He lived in a farm at Annapolis Valley. At the age of 15, Elliott graduated from his high school, and at the age of 19, he graduated from Dalhousie University. In 1943, Elliott got a Ph.D. from the M.I.T and helped advance on the beta ray spectroscopy. At that time, he had already co-authored 10 papers and moved to Montreal Laboratory, where he soon left then moved to Chalk River.
 Elliott helped Bob Bell on accuracy measuring for deuteron binding energy, (deuteron is the nucleus of a deuterium atom and deuterium is heavy hydrogen). The two were also first on measuring shortest gamma ray’s life, which is lesser than a picosecond. Elliott was chosen to be a part of the Royal Society; a group that represents all areas of science, when he was only 30. He became the leader of the physics team when he was 32 for C.R.L, formally known as C.R.N.L [...]

The SS Rhaetia was a transatlantic passenger ship on the Hamburg-American line. She was built in 1882 by Reiherstiegwerft, Hamburg, Germany and was 350.1 feet long and 42.6 feet wide and weighed 3,467 tons. The steamship had a speed of 12 knots and was powered by compound engines that delivered 2000 I.H.P. to a single screw. The steel-hulled ship had three masts (the foremast rigged for sail), and one funnel. She had accommodations for 96 first class and 1100 third class passengers and a crew of 90. She was launched on November 23, 1882 and sailed from Hamburg on her maiden voyage to Havre and New York on April 4, 1883. The SS Rhaetia commenced her last voyage on this service on November 4, 1894 and in 1895 was taken by Harland & Wolff (shipbuilders) in part payment for the new ship Pennsylvania. She was then bought by J. H. Bögel of Hamburg and in 1898 was sold to the US Navy and renamed Cassius. In 1900, she became a US army transport and was renamed Sumner. On December 11, 1916 she was wrecked on Barnegat Shoals, NJ. (source)

Tilsit is the old name of Sovetsk. Before its annexion by the URSS in 1946, it was in Oriental Prussia. (see www.tilsit.com)

Ludwig Franz and his wife Margaret are mentioned in successive editions (1892 to 1922) of the Des Moines City Directory.

L. E. Franz was the first typesetter of the Iowa Volksblatt (source). He was a member of the Des Moines typographical Union No. 118 (source). In 1895 he bought a grocery store in Des Moines (source).

The Iowa Volksblatt served the community of Postville, Iowa, for many years. There was a large influx of German people in this area who could not read or write the English language but most of them could read or write German. They discussed the subject of a German newspaper with their pastor, Rev. J. Gass. In 1891 Rev. Gass began the publication of the Iowa Volksblatt. In 1895 he transferred the management of the paper to his printers, Henry Brechler and Guxtav Dietsch of Milwaukee, Wis. By this time the paper was well established. Mr. Dietsch bought his partners share in 1897 and conducted the paper alone until 1908 when he sold his plant and office building to Paul Ronneburger and Sam Hoesly of Monroe, Wis. (source).

 

Lundi, vers une heure du matin, un drame a mis en émoi la commune d’Arès, située entre le bassin d’Arcachon et la forêt des pins.
 Un journalier, Octave Bienzan, âgé de vingt-huit ans, marié depuis deux ans à une ancienne bonne de café d’Arès, âgée de dix-huit ans, a tué d’un coup de fusil tiré de la fenêtre de sa demeure, un nommé Betrand Devidas, âgé de quarante-deux ans, marin à Andernos, veuf et père de trois enfants.
 D’après le meurtrier, c’est dans une auberge d’Arès qu’il aurait rencontré, dans la soirée, Bertrand Devidas qu’il ne connaisait pas.
 En sa compagnie et celle d’un ami, Bienzan quitta l’auberge pour aller à la pêche à la « piballe ».
 Pendant qu’il changeait de vêtements, ses deux compagnons restèrent devant sa demeure, située dans un endroit désert, puis tous trois se dirigèrent vers le canal.
 En cours de route, Bertrand Devidas aurait quitté ses compagnons sous le prétexte de rentrer chez lui à Andernos.
 Pris de doute, Bienzan abandonna son projet de pêche, rentra rapidement à son domicile et se coucha sans avoir remarqué rien d’anormal.
 Mais cinq minutes plus tard, il aurait entendu frapper à la fenêtre, et à plusieurs reprises dire : « Ouvrez-moi ou je défonce tout. »
 C’est sur cette menace que la fenêtre aurait été ouverte et qu’il aurait fait feu sur l’importun qui fut attent mortellement au cou.
 Le meurtrier est allé lui-même prévenir les gendarmes ; il soupçonnait, a-t-il déclaré, l’inconnu d’être un maraudeur venu pour lui voler ses poules et ses lapins.
 Le parquet s’est transporté sur les lieux et a ouvert une enquête qui, croit-on, amènera de nouvelles révélations.

Macy Millmore Skinner graduated from Harvard University in 1894 (PhD). He attended the University of Heidelberg in Germany, probably studying economics. He apparently became well respected, worldwide, as an economist. From 1895 to 1914, he was professor in the German Department at Stanford University (California). A scandal (see doc1, doc2, doc3, doc4) forced him to resign suddenly in August 1914. He went to China where he was an economic advisor to Sun Yat-Sen. He came back to America, and went on to the University of Washington where he was Business Professor in the Economics Department and Dean of Men.

 After graduation, I continued my work in the Graduate School and made my PH.D. in Semitic Languages and Literature in 1897. I went abroad on a Rogers Fellowship, and spent one year at Strassburg, and one at Berlin. On my return, finding that the prospect of making satisfactory progress in the teaching profession in my line was not a brilliant one, I changed to German, for which I had always had a strong liking. I was appointed Instructor in German at Harvard and remained there for six years, that is, until the spring of 1905, when I was called to Stanford University, Cal., as Assistant Professor of German. My family and I spent the year 1911-12 in Germany. In the months of August and September, 1911, I represented Stanford University at the centennial festivities of the universities of Beslau, Germany, and Christiania, Norway. During my absence, I was advanced to Associate Professor of German at Stanford. Having always had a strong desire to see the Orient, I gave up my position at Stanford in 1914 and sailed for China, where I spent two years in educational work. On my return in 1916, I was appointed to teach Chinese in the University of Washington, where I am at present located.
 Early in the year 1917, when it looked as though the U.S. would enter the war, I joined a Military Company of University Professors and drilled under the instruction of Major Patten, Commandant of the R.O.T.C. at the University. I assisted in the Military work of the Summer School and in the fall of 1917 was appointed Captain and Adjutant of the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau (later merged into the War Service Exchange), I was in constant communication with military and other departments of the Government, and endeavored to help our students find the kind of service they were fitted for and wished to enter.

From the “HARVARD COLLEGE, Class of 1894, Fiftieh Anniversary Report (1944)”:

Top-notch, versatile scholar with a Classical foundation; myriad-minded linguist, turning after his experience in China to economics and business administration with a brilliant professional career; spreader of the gospel of international comity.

Macy Millmore Skinner, 1947

MACY MILLMORE SKINNER was born “in the very center of Boston,” the son of John Skinner, M.D. ’56, and Jeanie Reid Terwilliger. He is now living in Seattle (2006 25th N.), and is teaching at the University of Washington. He tells his own story:
 “My father, who was a graduate of the Harvard Medical School, and my mother, who had intellectual interests and rather unusual literary talent, encouraged their four sons to seek the best educational training attainable. So three of us attended the Boston Latin School and Harvard, and one the English High School in Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 “The Boston Latin School emphasised particularly the study of the classical languages, Latin and Greek, and, with its high standard of scholarship requirements, gave me habits of application and thoroughness that stood me in good stead through a long educational career, and, in particular, determined the direction my interests took at the University. There I continued with my classical studies, but added Spanish, German, and some more French to my répertoire, and later branched out into the Oriental field, taking courses in Oriental history and civilization, and several Semitic languages, Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic, and Phoenician. Eventually I secured a Ph.D. degree in Semitic languages and literature.
 “Sent abroad on a Rogers Traveling Fellowship, I spent two years in Europe, studying at Strassburg and Berlin. During this period, in addition to attending various courses in classical and modern Arabic, Persian, comparative philology, philosophy, and literature, I took the opportunity of working up an acquaintance with the older Germanic dialects, a study which I continued when, on my return, I was appointed to an instructorship in German at Harvard. During the following summers, I went back to Europe for further work at a number of universities – Heidelberg, Leipzig, Marburg, etc. Incidentally, I now added Italian to my linguistic interests.
 “In 1905, I was called to Stanford University as assistant professor of Germanic languages and literature, and in the Spring of my first year there, went through the ordeal of the California earthquake. With my family I spent my sabbatical year of 1911-1912 in Europe.
 “My Oriental interests drew me in 1914 to China, where I spent two years in educational work, incidentally devoting some time to the study of the Chinese, and to a lesser degree, the Japanese language. I returned in 1916 in order to do my part in World War I, for which I saw, that we, too, were heading. I was appointed assistant professor in the University of Washington in Seattle, where I taught German, and also introduced courses in the Chinese language. My six years of military training at the Boston Latin School stood me in good stead at this time, and I was one of a few professors chosen to train our students for service overseas. I was also made Dean of Men at the University.
 “As the war closed I weighted the possibility of securing a position at some eastern university in comparative philology, but accepted an assistant professorship in the College of Business Administration at the University of Washington, where I introduced courses of economic geography. I later headed the Department of Foreign Trade, for which my travels, my life abroad, my knowledge of economics geography, as well as of languages and customs of various peoples, seemed to fit me. In the heyday of international commerce that followed the war, I was instrumental in building up a large and flourishing department, and my students began to go out into the foreign trade field, and the United States consular service, all over the world.
 “In 1921, I was sent to China for two years as exchange professor and director of the department of business administration at Ling Nam University in Canton, being at the same time a representative of the Carnegie Foundation for World Peace. On my return I took up my work again as professor of foreign trade. A few years later I was sorely tempted to accept an offer of some Chinese government agencies to head a projected college of commerce there, but I decided to remain at my post in the United States. Having now reached the retiring age, I am on half-time, although I still conduct the foreign trade courses.
 “In the last twenty years or so I have supervised the work of one Ph.D. candidate and some forty A.M. candidates. My subject has been a popular one in the Northwest, here on the shore of the Pacific, and I have been called upon to deliver many addresses at conventions and to various civic group on topics connected with the international trade field.
 “My profoundest pleasure has been my contacts with eager minds of young men who want to go out into the great world to implement the gospel of international intercourse and amity through the interchange of material goods and services. At the college age they are still impressionable, and accept, with conviction, the social doctrine of ‛the greatest good to the greatest number.’
 “I have no particularly developed philosophy of life, except perhaps that our mission here must be to help others to get started right, and to live fruitfully and happily. There is no joy so great as that which lies in tried and true friendship, and in devotion to ideals of human service.
 “I am firmly conviced that, after the present war, the nations of the world must form a closer family unit, one for all and all for one; individual nations, politically, yet joined together in an organization that will enforce the peace, see justice done for all, and work for the prosperity and happiness of all. This is the kind of world we want our children and our children’s children to live in, and we must not fail to establish it after the work of the soldier is over, and mankind returns to the pursuits of peace.”
 Skinner was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his Junior year. He was graduated summa cum laude, with honors in Semitic Languages. He received an A.M. in 1895 and a Ph.D. in 1897. He was a member of the Episcopal Church. During World War I he was adjutant of the Inter-collegiate Intelligence Bureau (later merged into the War Service Exchange), and captain-instructor in the R.O.T.C. during the same period. He has been elected several times, and is at present president of the Pan Xenia, the International Student Foreign Trade Fraternity.
 He has written various articles on Assyrian an Hebrew linguistic problems and the study of German. His publications include: “Review of Heinrich Keiter and Tonny Keller’s Theorie und Technik des Romans un der erzählenden Dichtkunst,” Modern Language Notes, XXIV, 8 December, 1909; “Brief Notes on the Indebtednes of Spielhagen to Dickens,” Journal of English and Germanic Philology, IX, 4, 1910; “Critical Survey of the Biographies of Friedrich Spielhagen,” Modern Language Notes, March, 1911; “Foreign Trade, its Growth and Importance,” Washington Purchasing Agent and Manufacturer, December, 1927; “Some Aspects of the Trade of the Pacific,” Proceedings, 6th Annual Meeting of the Pacific Collegiate Economic Conference, Vancouver, B.

    “We in America emerged from the struggle [World War I] apparently in the healthiest, wealthiest condition it had ever been our fortune to enjoy. […] A new and glorious start for higher peaks of human satisfaction and dazzling world-supremacy – and then we awoke to find it all a dream. Disillusioned we emerged from this Fool’s Paradise into a world of cold and inexorable reality, where the sight of silenced mill and workshop, haunted by the grim specter of want and the unmerited suffering of millions of fellow human beings, plunged us into the depths of sadness and despair. The evil wrought by man in half a generation cannot be repaired in a year or two. But it will be repaired in time, but only by a fundamental setting of the world’s house in order.” – Business Professor M. M. Skinner, December 1931.

Maynard F. Shaw, a fourteen-year-old high-school student, was delivering newspapers on the morning of December 24, 1919. As he came out of a yard on Broad Street opposite Hale Street he saw a large touring car with curtains down drive into Hale Street and stop so that the back wheels were in the gutter of Broad Street. It was a Hudson or Buick or similar car, dark with greenish tint. Two men got out of the car; there was a third man there, but Shaw did not see him get out of the car. The first man had a gun, the other tow had weapons. From a distance of one hundred forty-five or one hundred fifty feet he got a fleeting glance at the face of the man with the shotgun; he could tell from the way the man ran that he was a foreigner. This man was from five feet six to five feet eight or nine, wore a long, dark overcoat, had no hat on, hair not flowing, dark well-kept mustache, a foreign look in his face, complexion dark. He was rather knock-kneed when running. This man fired at the truck when it was about a hundred feet up ahead of him, and again when the truck was just going around behind the streetcar and was only eight or ten feet away from him. Later he ran down after the truck and leveled his gun, but Shaw heard no report. The second man wore a cap, "not black but sort of light," and an overcoat; he fired his revolver at the truck at least once, maybe twice. Shaw could not be sure whether the third man fired. The men got into the automobile. The man with the mustache was Vanzetti. (Source: The Legacy of Sacco and Vanzetti, The Bridgewater assault: The Plymouth Trial – Eyewitnesses of the Assault.)

Memorial Sketch of Mrs. Mary Ann B. McHENRY — She was born at Nictaux, Annapolis, N.S. the second child and only d/o Rev. I.E. and Isabella BILL. He father had been ordained to the pastorate of Nictaux church on 20th March preceding. On the removal of her parents to Fredericton (York Co.) at the close of 1839 to take charge of the Baptist church in that place, Mary Ann entered the Female dept. of the Fredericton Seminary, then in charge of Miss BENNET who had been brought out from England by late Rev. Frederick MILES to fill that position. On the retirement of Miss BENNETT, her position was filled by Mrs. W. NEEDHAM and the daughter continued to enjoy the best advantages which the Seminary could impart until her father’s return to Nictaux. Having no prospect of a school at Nictaux adapted to her advanced stage of progress, she was placed under the tuition of Mrs. MILES, now the wife of Rev. R.W. CUSHMAN of Boston. On the marriage of Miss MILES, the daughter returned to her parents at Nictaux where she remained until the autumn of 1844 when she was taken by her father to Boston and placed in the Baptist Seminary at Charleston. In the 17th year of age, she opened superior school for young ladies in her father’s house at Nictaux. This, so far as we know, was the first Baptist female school of superior type opened in Nova Scotia. On 14th Sept. 1851, she became united in marriage to Thomas McHENRY, Esq., removed to St. John, N.B. and not long after was received by letter from the Nictaux Church into the Germain St. Baptist Church. In married life, she became the mother of six daughters and a few months before her death gave birth to her first and only son. (Source: Christian Visitor Saint John, N.B., Dec. 7, 1865)

Obituary in Proceeding of the American Society of International Law – 1971:

MAX M. MANDELLAUB
 It is with great sadness and an acute sens of personal loss that I record the passing of Dr. Max Mandellaub in Frankfurt on November 16, 1967.
 Dr. Mandellaub was a member of the Society for over 25 years, and looked forward to pilgrimages from abroad almost every year to attend the sessions of the Society and to renew his cherished association with friends in the international legal profession. Dr. Mandellaub and I were students together at Geneva, before World War II, where he took his Doctor’s degree. He was a gifted writer, a brilliant analyst of European affairs, and a fine international lawyer. The tragic loss of both of his parents in Nazi gas chambers, a blow which seared his existence, his own escape from a German prisoner of war camp, and, subsequently his retributive assignment to the Chief of Counsel for the Punishment of War Criminals (in which capacity he prosecuted the case against the Krupps) marked a life that knew few periods of freedom from stress. His work on Nationalité c. l’État dans la Consitution Fédérale Suisse is still regarded as the authority in its field. Requiescat in Pace

Max Mandellaub was U.S. Associate Counsel in the “Krupp Case” during the Nuremberg Trials (1947-1949) [Source]

Before moving to The Hague, Max Mandellaub lived in Duisburg. (Source: Brief von Max Mandellaub an Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf / Hochschule für Bühnenkunst. Duisburg, 1929)

He also published “La Nationalité et l’État: Étude historique et juridique de la notion de nationalité en fonction des tendances de l’État national-socialiste” (Geneva, Switzerland. 1941).

In May 1940, Max Mandellaub stayed in the Camp de Loriol (Drôme, France) : “[...] In May 1940, at the very end of the Loriol camp, they were joined by Max Mendellaub, a small, blond, almost bald, tanned, very intelligent, German student in Switzerland who had two doctorates in law and litterature, unto the direction of Professor Burkhardt of Geneva. He tells them that he was summoned to the police and imprisoned. He was forced to pass a confession according to which he would maintain relations with the USSR and with Walter Todt in particular; it is exactly the same accusation as the one already made by the Swiss. The CAR of Lyon and Father Chaillet intervened in his favor. He even thinks he can emigrate to the United States.” (Source: Quelques camps du Sud-Est, 1939-1940, par André Fontaine)

It appeared that Lord Milsington was entitled after the death of his father, the then Earl of Portmore, to 5,000£, and 19,350£. 4 per Cents. This latter sum he afterwards assigned to a person named Bruce, as a security for moneys due to him. In 1817, Brownlow Charles Colyear, the only son of Lord Milsington, attained his majority, when he entered into agreements to discharge considerable debts of his father, and being desirous of making a provision for the natural children of his father, he agreed to purchase the interest of Lord Milsington in the sum of 19,350£, and to assign it with some other money, amounting altogether to 20,000£, to Mr. Surman, an attorney, that Lord Milsington, and Brownlow Charles Colyear, should have the power of avoiding the stipulations in the agreement, provided the provision made for the natural children of Lord Milsington was not interfered with. Before these arrangements were carried into effect Mr. Colyear went abroad, and there died in 1819, leaving a will by which he gave all his property to his father and made him his executor. In 1825 Lord Milsington, then Earl Portmore, succeeded in setting aside the deed asssigning the money to Bruce, and in 1834 the present bill was filed, which prayed that the female defendants might be declared to have a lien upon the personal estate of Mr. Colyear for the 20,000£.
 Lord Langdale, in giving judgment, observed that it had been contended that the parties were entitled to no releif from a Court of Equity, insamuch as the agreement to assign the 20,000£ to Mr. Surman for the benefit of the natural children have never been perfected. It had been further argued that Mr. Brownlow Charles Colyear had put himself in loco parentis. He did not think the facts bore out that statement, and had not been able to come to the same conclusion. The point which had been mainly rested upon was that the parties were entitled to a specific performance of the agreement ; but he could not concur in the opinion, as the agreement itself was never completed. It was unfortunate that Mr. Brownlow died before the arrangements were finally settled. His lordship then observed that he did not think a Court of Equity could enforce the agreement, and therefore he felt himself bount to allow the demurrer. (Source: Globe, 1836)

From Harvard college, class of 1897. Twenty-fifth Anniversary Report (1922) :
ROY CHURCHILL SKINNER — Born at Dedham, Mass., Oct. 8, 1874. Son of Joseph Crandall and Alice F. (Gilbert) Skinner. School: Roxbury Latin School. Years in college: 1893-97. AB; DMD 1909 (Tufts Dental School). Married: Ethel Hersey Macomber, Sept. 4, 1909, Boston, Mass. Child: Joseph Churchill, Nov. 15, 1913. Died at Wellesley Hills, Mass., Oct. 10, 1919.
 Roy Churchill Skinner entered Harvard in the fall of 1893. In the years immediately following his graduation in 1897, he held several mercantile positions, but a characteristic super-sensitiveness to the rights of others made the keen competition of business life distasteful to him.
 He consequently determined to follow his late father’s profession of dentistry, and in 1906 entered the Tufts College Dental School. After receiving his degree in 1909, he practiced his profession in Boston, continuing with increasing success until his death, Oct. 10, 1919. He He married Ethel Hersey Macomber Sept. 4, 1909, and their son, Joseph Churchill, was born Nov. 11, 1913.
 Roy Skinner’s genial, sincere, and generous temperament quickly endeared him to those with whom he came in contact both professionally and socially. The remarkable fund of energy he possessed enabled him to accomplish much in his vocation and in his hours of play, which he loved to spend on or near salt water. During his last months, when he suffered from an obscure disease which he knew was incurable, he carried on the daily routine of a busy life with e buoyancy of spirit and quiet courage which enabled him to conceal his condition from all except his immediate family. This was typical of the man whose character earned him the affection and respect of all of us who knew him.

Scott Craft is a direct descendant of Loyalist John T Craft who served in the volunteer cavalry in Col. DeLancey’s Regiment, is commanding officer of the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s) at Sussex, Kings, NB, the oldest armoured unit of the Canadian Armed Forces, originally founded as the New Brunswick Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry in 1848 by the regimentation of a number of independent cavalry troops whose history goes back to cavalry units that served in the American Revolution, in particular to 1775 in the Colony of Virginia, where a Captain John Saunders raised a troop of cavalry (Saunders’ Horse) at his own expense to fight for the Crown against the colonial rebels, which unusual troop included riflemen, grenadiers, artillery and cavalry and never knew defeat until the British surrender at Yorktown in October 1783. In September 1783, Saunders’ horse as an entity was dispatched to New Brunswick where a large number of these Loyalist solders settled in the Saint John and Kennebecasis valleys. The New Brunswick Militia Act of 1825 permitted the raising of cavalry troops by voluntary enlistment for attachment to the various county infantry battalions. Many amongst those who enlisted in these troops were the sons and grandsons of those who served with John Saunders in Virginia. By authority of Militia General Order Number One on 4 April 1848, eleven independent troops were united to from a regiment entitled the New Brunswick Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry. It is this date that is officially recognized as the formation of the Regiment. The regiment was the first volunteer cavalry regiment in British North America. 

Second Lieutenant William R. Bailey was a member of the 305th Bomb Group, 422nd Bomb Squadron. On July 4, 1943, Bailey was the navigator of a B-17 flown by 1st Lt. Frank W. Scott. Scott’s B-17 was hit and set on fire. Seven crewmembers were able to parachute from the flaming B-17. One of those parachutes was burning. However none of the crew survived. The plane was at least five miles out to sea and even those who parachuted safely must have drowned. Based on an investigation that took place after the war, the entire crew was determined to have died that day.

She explains she had promised Kupfer half of anything she won. (The fortune was reunited in marriage in 1937.)

Just after their marriage, Oma and Walter moved to Tacoma, Washington, where they decided to start a new life in Motel Waltoma, 9200 South Tacoma Way, Lakewood. The motel was built in 1938 by Walt and Oma Kupfer, hence its unusual name. It was designed by Fred Michel and Fred Michel and Jos. Brewer were the contractors. The Waltoma consisted of six double cottages. Over 2500 persons attended its grand opening beginning July 31, 1938. The sign in front of the motel indicated that it was approved by Duncan Hines, in 1946, and the Automobile Club of Washington.

Annual Retreat – by Kathleen McGrath Skinner
On a beautiful October weekend, a group of Associates gathered at St. Mary’s Villa in Standfordville for their annual retreat. Once again, Sr. Mary E. Mc Cormick was our retreat director. Using the theme “A Spirituality Named Compassion,” we looked at the stories of two women from the Old Testament – Tamar and Hagar – and analyzed how God showed them compassion. Many valuable insights came from sharing ideas and thoughts about these women and their experiences.We also explored the role of women in the New Testament. Much food for thought! During the retreat, there was plenty of time for long walks, reflection and rest. Late Saturday afternoon, we went to the nearby town of Bangall for Mass. It was truly an uplifting experience to be in a small, country church and feel the welcoming spirit there. Our mealtimes were a wonderful opportunity to enjoy each other’s company. As usual, the food was delicious and plentiful. By the time Sunday afternoon arrived, we couldn’t believe that our retreat was over. Plans were made to return next year and we left feeling blessed to be associated with the Sisters of Charity and with each other.

Simon Mandellaub (born January 18, 1884 in Kolomea; † October 31, 1941 in the Belzec extermination camp) was a businessman. From 1901 he lived in Heilbronn, then with Austrian citizenship. Allegedly he served in the Austrian army during World War I. In 1918, the entire Mandellaub family received Polish citizenship. Simon Mandellaub, a trained businessman, had two daughters and two sons with his wife Adele. The family lived first at Turmstrasse 14, from 1931 at Gartenstrasse 32, from 1936 at Safe Street 9. Mandellaub temporarily ran three shoe stores, one of which he sold in 1932 or 1933, which was located on Klingenberger Strasse in Böckingen. The other two shops were in Sülmerstrasse 105 and Kirchbrunnenstrasse 12. The latter property belonged to Simon Mandellaub. He was forced to sell them during the Third Reich. Simon Mandellaub’s older children emigrated in March 1938, and a few months later he was deported to Poland with his wife and their youngest daughter Silvia. Simon Mandellaub was able to return to his native Kolomea, where a Jewish ghetto was set up a few years later. From there he was deported to the Belzec extermination camp with his wife and their now twelve-year-old daughter Silvia. The date of death on October 31, 1941 was officially set. (Source)
_______

Simon Mandellaub, von Beruf Kaufmann, ist am 18. Januar 1884 in Kolomea / Polen geboren. Die galizische Stadt Kolomea, gelegen in der heutigen West-Ukraine, war seit dem 14. Jahrhundert ein Teil Polens, gehörte dann vom 18. Jahrhundert an bis 1918 zur Habsburger Monarchie und war später wiederum polnisch.

Simon Mandellaub lebte seit 1901 in Heilbronn, seine Ehefrau Adele, geb. 10. August 1893, seit etwa 1912. Beide waren damals österreichische Untertanen; Simon Mandellaub soll während des Ersten Weltkriegs im österreichischen Heer gedient haben – diese Angaben machte Gisela Katz geb. Mandellaub in einer eidesstattlichen Versicherung in Israel im Jahr 1953. Nach 1918 bekam die ganze Familie die polnische Staatsangehörigkeit.

Die polnische Regierung erließ im März 1938 ein Gesetz, wonach im Ausland lebende polnische Bürger die Staatsangehörigkeit verloren, wenn sie nicht bis 30. Oktober 1938 nach Polen zurückgekehrt seien. Das gab der NSDAP Veranlassung, im Rahmen der sogenannten „Polen-Aktion“ am 27. und 28. Oktober 1938 50.000 in Deutschland lebende Polen (darunter viele tausend Juden) nach Polen zu deportieren. Es gelang der abgeschobenen Familie Mandellaub, nach Kolomea zurückzukehren, dem Ort, an dem Simon und seine Frau Adele geboren waren, ebenso auch Tochter Gisela und Sohn Markus.

Die ersten Deportationen der sogenannten „Polen-Aktion“ hatten den jungen Juden Herschel Grünspan dazu veranlasst, in Paris den deutschen Legationsrat vom Rath zu erschießen; er sagte später aus, dass seine Eltern als Ostjuden abgeschoben worden seien – damit steht die „Polen-Aktion“ am Beginn der grauenhaften Ereignisse des Novemberpogroms vom 9. und 10. November 1938.

Simon Mandellaub war zeitweilig Inhaber von drei Schuh-Einzelhandelsgeschäften in Heilbronn. Das Hauptgeschäft befand sich in der Sülmerstraße 105, es verfügte über zwei Schaufenster, ein Büro und ein umfangreiches Warenlager. Es sollen dort drei Verkäuferinnen und eine Sekretärin beschäftigt gewesen sein. Ein zweites Schuhgeschäft lag in der Kirchbrunnenstraße 12; Simon Mandellaub und seine Frau Adele waren Eigentümer dieses Hauses, das sie nach 1933 gezwungener Maßen an einen „Arier“ verkaufen mussten.

Ein weiteres Geschäft in der Klingenberger Straße in Böckingen hatte Simon Mandellaub nach Aussage seiner Tochter Gisela schon im Jahr 1932 oder 1933 verkauft.

Das Ehepaar Simon und Adele Mandellaub wohnte zuerst in der Turmstraße 14, ab 1931 zusammen mit den vier Kindern Gisela, Silvia, Markus und Eugen in einer großzügigen 6-Zimmer-Wohnung in der Gartenstraße 32. 1936 zog die Familie in eine ebenfalls bürgerlich eingerichtete Wohnung in der Sichererstraße 9; es habe sich dort auch ein Klavier befunden.

Im März 1938 ist es den drei älteren Kindern Gisela, Markus und Eugen gelungen, nach Palästina auszuwandern; ein halbes Jahr später wurden Simon und Adele Mandellaub mit der damals neun Jahre alten Tochter Silvia im Zuge der „Polen-Aktion“ am 28. Oktober 1938 abgeschoben. Ihren gesamten Besitz (einschließlich der Wohnungseinrichtung und des Warenlagers in der Sülmerstraße) mussten sie zurücklassen. Die Abschiebung erfolgte über Bentschen (Zbąszyń); offenbar gelang es der Familie aber, an den früheren Wohnort Kolomea zurückzukehren. Eine Heilbronner Bekannte gab an, sie habe Frau Mandellaub drei Monate nach der Abschiebung wieder in Heilbronn getroffen, diese habe sich um ihre Möbel kümmern wollen, die untergestellt sein sollten. Nach den Angaben in den Rückerstattungsakten im Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg ließen sich die untergestellten Möbel jedoch nicht mehr finden.

Nach dem Einmarsch der deutschen Wehrmacht im August 1941 wurde in Kolomea ein Ghetto errichtet, in dem zeitweilig 18.000 Juden lebten; 16.000 von ihnen wurden in das Vernichtungslager Belzec deportiert. Hier verliert sich die Spur von Adele und Simon Mandellaub und ihrer nun 12-jährigen Tochter Silvia; ein exaktes Todesdatum ist nicht bekannt, amtlicherseits wurde der 31. Oktober 1941 festgelegt.

Die drei älteren Kinder von Adele und Simon Mandellaub lebten nach ihrer Einwanderung in Palästina: Gisela hieß nach ihrer Heirat Katz, Max Markus Mandellaub nannte sich später Mordechai Markus Schkedi und aus Eugen Mandellaub wurde Izchak Schkedi. Beide Söhne lebten in einem Kibbuz und waren beteiligt am Aufbau mehrerer Kibbuzim. 2011 war ein Sohn von Eugen Schkedi / Mandellaub mit seiner Familie zu Besuch in Heilbronn.

SKU 16(3)82 Compendium of Biography pages 334-338 South Dakota State Archives 900 Governors Dr. Pierre, SD 57501-2217 WILLIAM HENRY SKINNER, whose portrait will be found on another page, is a pioneer of Brookings, and to him belongs the credit for doing more, probably, than any other individual in the building up of Brookings city and county.
 Mr. Skinner, always a broad minded and public spirited man, has had the interests of his chosen city at heart ever since he first arrived upon the wild Dakota prairie, where Brookings now stands, in 1873. His history is part of the history of South Dakota, and were the early events in which he figured prominently to be written of at length they might easily fill a volume.
 Mr. Skinner was born in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, on the 24th of July, 1851. He is the son of Henry and Ruth A. (Ilsley) Skinner, of whom sketches will be found upon another page of this work. Mr. Skinner received an elementary education in the public schools of Nova Scotia, and later attended Acadia college, which is now the University of Nova Scotia. He taught school for two years in Nova Scotia, and at the age of eighteen came with his parents to Iowa, where he resumed his professional labors.
 In June, 1873. Mr. Skinner came to Brookings, locating at first in Trenton township, where he homesteaded a claim and pre-empted another, making in all three hundred and twenty acres of rich land which he acquired. This was converted into a large farm, and remained in Mr. Skinner’s possession until 1893, when he sold it, his other interests having become so large that they required all of his time and attention. One of the most important services, among the many which he rendered to Brookings county was getting the Chicago & North-Western railway to establish a station at Brookings. This was no easy task, as a railroad in those days was something of a seventh wonder among most of the folk who lived in that region, and they were in the habit of letting the officials do about as they pleased.
 Mr. Skinner purchased about two hundred and forty acres of land at Brookings while the place was; yet virgin prairie. His intention was to make it the site of a future great city; and as a preliminary step, to secure a station on the North-Western road on or near his land and secure the location of the county seat at this place. The whole idea was daring in its’ conception, an still more so in its execution. This projector after securing the assistance and cooperation of the leading citizens of the county went before the officers of the road represented to them the future of the city and it’s advantageous location, and closed by offering one hundred and sixty acres of land to them if they would agree to add Brookings to the line and build a station there. It was thus finally a arranged through Mr. Skinner’s zeal, though the engineers and some of the high a officials protested against the move the county commissioners were at once petitioned to submit to a vote the question of location of county seat, which resulted in Brookings being selected by a good majority. This was merely one of the clever coups which Mr. Skinner executed in the days. His farsightedness and ability showed in his next move. After securing assurances that the railroad station located at Brookings, he advertised the fact very extensively, and also made it known that there was a town named Brookings, and that he had several acres of town lots to sell. So well was the matter arranged that people soon began to inquire about the lots, and finally to purchase them and from that time forth Brookings began from the condition of a hamlet into the proud estate of a city. It was Mr. Skinner and his property that started the city, and to him alone is due the credit of originating and carrying out the project.
 In 1879 Mr. Skinner’s services were partially recognized. and he was appointed to the office of clerk of the district court. The county seat was then at Medary, a very diminutive hamlet, which has since become but a memory. Mr. Skinner immediately took his office paraphernalia upon assuming the office and conveyed it to the new town, Brookings. This startling move had an immediate effect, for all a other county officers forthwith followed in his footsteps, and soon the city which Mr. Skinner had laid out became the official capital of Brookings county, a title which it poss-esses to the present day.
 Mr. Skinner has since devoted most of his time to real estate and business ventures, all of which have been successful, and he is, of course, in very easy circumstances. He has not relaxed his efforts in behalf of the city, however, and is still one of its most active and energetic residents.
 In 1896 he, with a number of others, incorporated the Brookings Cooperative Creamery Company and he is at present one of the largest stockholders. This company was organized, as its name implies, upon the cooperative basis, and for the benefit of the farmers, who thus have a direct and personal interest in all of it’s concerns. Up to the present time it has met with great success. Mr. Skinner was one of the promoters of the Masonic Temple, which is one of the finest brick business blocks in the city. The second floor contains the finest suite of lodge rooms in the state.
 During 1886-87 Mr. Skinner was one of the Trustees of the State Agricultural college. He served two years and it was largely through his efforts that one of the largest and finest buildings on the campus was erected. Mr. Skinner is a free-silver Republican politically, and has held a num-ber of public offices. In addition to being clerk of the courts and a trustee of the agricultural college, he was postmaster of Brookings from 1891 to ’95. He is prominent in secret society affairs, and is a member of the blue lodge, chapter, commandery and council of the Masonic fraternity, also a leader of the M. W. A. and the A. O. U. W.
 Mr. Skinner married Miss Elizabeth A. Laird, April 13, 1873 She was the daughter of James and Margaret Laird, and was a native of Chickasaw, Iowa. Mrs. Skinner died in July, 1886, leaving five children: Ansel 0., who is now manager of the Creamery at Pierpoint, South Dakota; Agnes A., a teacher of Yankton; Charles H., Guy E. and May E.
Mr. Skinner remarried February 29 1888, his bride being Georgia A. Laird a cousin of his first wife. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner a re the parents of four children now living. They are: Catharine, Ruth A., Rae G. and Grant.

Sleeping Giant is awake by Bruce Elliot – Guest Columnist, Monday, May 8, 2006.
 Last Monday afternoon in Mount Vernon, there was a small-town “immigration march” similar to those organized and staged in Seattle and elsewhere around the country. It was a peaceful, orderly procession of people carrying American and Mexican flags, signs, placards, bull horns, etc., making their presence known and briefly disrupting local traffic.
 I had two very mixed feelings: first, a huge pride in this country -- that this great nation is a powerful magnet for people who truly want to be here at huge risk to themselves, and more so, that only in America is it possible for such a gathering to occur, for masses of people who have entered the country illegally to assemble and speak freely of their demands.
 But second, I have an increasing anger and resentment at our government that, by its ineffectiveness and inaction, has allowed this to happen: a de facto invasion by about 12 million foreign nationals (like the number of marchers, no one really knows for sure) who have bypassed the legal immigration procedures, yet who now want -- and blatantly feel entitled to -- equal status, all because of spineless politicians (weak laws and enforcement) and greed for the Almighty Dollar (cheap labor and produce).
 Awaken the Sleeping Giant? I hope so -- including me, and countless other complacent Americans who have become aware of the scope of the problem. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year screening arrivals at international airports and other ports of entry, on the Border Patrol, and on Customs and Immigration Services, etc., for what? These highly visible and expensive efforts do little good if there are huge holes that permit illegal entry that goes unenforced.
 Where were federal immigration officers during these marches? And why aren’t local law enforcement agencies more involved? Don’t they declare an oath to support and defend the Constitution and to enforce the laws of the land, and if so, why aren’t they doing their duty?
 I heard not one instance of an illegal immigrant being arrested or detained anywhere during these demonstrations. Why not? Yet a container load of Chinese nationals arrives by ship recently in Seattle, and Immigration is all over them; they are immediately detained, and processed for deportation. What’s the difference here, other than grossly selective law enforcement?
 I am married to a legal immigrant (Germany). My wife spent years going through all the hoops and hurdles of the legal process to gain entry and become a U.S. citizen. I sympathize with those who have successfully penetrated our borders illegally for a better life, but in the face of avoiding the legal process -- and the serious objectives of Homeland Security and drug enforcement -- they cannot be simply gifted the privilege of amnesty and citizenship.
 It isn’t right and it isn’t fair to all those who have done it the legal way. And as history has shown in the long run, it doesn’t work for us; it works against us.
 We all have to understand and accept the fact there are millions and millions more disadvantaged individuals who would give up everything to gain a better life here, and that we simply cannot absorb them all, legally or illegally. Our borders have to be made secure and impenetrable; the legal immigration procedures have to be made workable and then followed and enforced; and the situations that have created the problems we have today have to be resolved quickly. If we do not do this, and fail to demand that it be done, the flood of illegal immigrants will continue ad infinitum, and we will all pay a much higher price downstream.
 Bruce Elliot lives in La Conner, Wash.

On Sunday 22 May 2005, former Summerlea member Heather (Maxwell) Fedele, husband Derrick and sons Ryan and Michael visited their Lachine stomping grounds to celebrate the 75th birthday of Derrick’s mother Pauline. They took the opportunity to bring with them a Peace Candle for Summerlea from Northwood United Church in their current home of Surrey, BC.
 They arrived at Summerlea during coffee hour after the service and presented the candle to Summerlea minister Howard Clark. Howard took the opportunity to make a brief ceremony in the sanctuary, with Heather’s parents Frank and Judy Maxwell of Wolfville, N.S., also former Summerlea members, looking on. The Candle will be presented to the Summerlea congregation officially next Sunday.
 Following are a few snapshots, which are pickable to see a larger version. 

Source: Memories from the Late Sixties: Frank Maxwell and Daughter Heather, October 2002.
Frank and Judy Maxwell and offspring Heather, David and Jim, lived in Lachine and attended Summerlea from 1965 to 1970 and again from 1975-1977. During their first stay, Frank was Sunday School Superintendant from 1968 to 1970. Frank offers some memories from his Wolfeville, NS retirement location, with help from Heather, who now lives in Vancouver.
 My recollections of Summerlea’s Sunday School are very few, which is surprising [at least...to me (o_o) ]. I’ll try to re-activate some with a phone call to Heather this evening. Her memory of our times in Lachine is usually in diary-like detail, so I’m hopeful...
 I can remember the Sunday morning assemblies in the large room with the stage (Acadia Hall). Eleanor [Warren] Fletcher was our pianist. Her father was Herb Warren, the former airline pilot, who still retained his bright "pilots’ eyes". Her father-in-law was Pat Fletcher, the last Canadian professional golfer to win the Cdn. Open...sometime in the 1930’s.
 Obviously the S.S. pianist made a strong impression on me! However, I do I remember that Huntly Bourne was the superintendent of the Jr. Dept. [and hit a massive home run with one of my pitches in a softball game at a church picnic].
 Cec King taught in the S.S., but I remember his being in the church choir when we returned to Summerlea in 1975-77.
 I recall a debate that I "moderated" between two or three S.S. teachers and our youth group ? It had a huge turn-out, and was an absolute disaster - at least as far as the adult debaters were concerned. The representatives of the youth group really "beat up" on us! Ed Jamieson was one of the adult debaters, and went home "feeling as if someone had hit him over the head with a baseball bat ". Ed was someone whom I liked and respected a great deal: very distinguished looking, with classy half-glasses. (Ed. Note: Ed Jamieson and Huntly Bourne also started the country store in the bazaar around that time.)
 The youth group leader was Bob Bennett, the son of Dick, a really nice guy who died in the late 1970’s. Dick taught in the S.S. as well. Bob was a super guy - very bright and personable, and I still picture them both with high regard.
 I do recall the large mesh cross that Ester Anderson mentioned, with the children coming down the church’s centre isle with their flowers for it. Could this have been part of our Easter services...? (Ed. Note: Nancy and Huntly Bourne also recall a large mesh cross. There is some confusion as to whether it was used at Easter, Mother’s Day or Flower Sunday.)
 I had a great phone conversation with Tom Miles while we were visiting Heather in November. Tom is the interim minister at Duncan and they enjoy their grandparenting opportunities.

Memories from Heather Maxwell, via Frank
S.S. teachers: Bernice Gowdy [and one of her daughters, Meg]. (By the way, I (Frank) used to see Jim Gowdy in Toronto, where he was the corporate secretary for Sun Life.)
Muriel McWilliams [her son Foster is part of Heather’s Vancouver network],
Dorothy Lowe, Hunt Bourne, Don Black [he also was a scout leader], and Lois Steckley.
Other family names from Summerlea: Mary Moreland [remember her younger brother, Peter : the happy-go-lucky imp ?], bruce Chown, Ann Park, Ron MacKay and his son bruce, Karen Saliewitz, the Trites [Heather continues to stay in touch with Sue], the Kiersteads, and the Edwards.
 Our favourite caretaker was Mr. Gillass, and we can remember how pleased he was with the S.S.’s Christmas gift one year. Judy and I once visited with him and his wife, at his home.

Heather also remembers helping me post the S.S. offering for each pupil, in my "big ledger", before turning the proceeds over to Ron MacKay.
Cheers,
Frank

Hi everybody,
First off, we’d like to say that your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you.
Although we have already reserved our stay at a Riviera Maya resort, we thought a honeymoon “excursion/activity” registry would provide our guests an opportunity help us make our perfect honeymoon come true. It is because of the lifetime of memories we will gain from this trip that we decided to include a honeymoon registry. We greatly appreciate and will fondly remember these gifts for years to come. After all, the memories and photos from swimming with whale sharks or climbing ancient ruins will last longer than that blender or towel rack from Target (Although Ali may tell you to go with the towel rack if it gets her out of swimming with whale sharks).
We’ll do our best to document our experience via photo and include it in your much-deserved “thank you” note.
Thanks again and we can’t wait to see you at the wedding (or earlier!).
Love,
Seth & Ali

Article n. 310 by Ronald J. Jack (Public Historian and Web-publisher)

 In the summer of 1954, Sonia Black and David Grant were married in an obscure little church in West Saint John. She was 28 and he was 29. On the provincial registration document, beside "Occupation", each of them entered "Missionary". They had signed up for language courses and were preparing to devote their lives to mission work in the Belgian Congo. What they got themselves into, and who got them out, make for an interesting story. It is history worth preserving.
 [...]
 The pair of star-crossed missionaries were Saint Johners, through and through. Sonia Black was a Valley-girl, having lived at 262 City Road, almost in the shadow of the General Public Hospital. In fact after graduating from Saint John High School she enrolled in the Nursing School at the General, and was Class Valedictorian in 1947. She received her theological training at the Prairie Bible Institute at Three Hills, Alberta., a western institution with links to many churches in the Maritimes. Her Dad had been a gunner in one of the Siege Batteries in WW1 and returned to work with the C.P.R. Her mother had been office staff with T.S. Simms in Fairville.
 David Grant hailed from Red Head, just east of the city. He was a graduate of the Vocational High School on Douglas Avenue, and the practical knowledge he acquired there served him well in Africa where he built a seminary and a school. After graduation he took theological training with the Atlantic Bible Institute at Hampton Station, N.B. After falling for Sonia he proposed twice. The second proposal was that they devote their married lives to mission work, and their application was accepted by the Unevangelized Field Mission. The U.F.M. was a Christian umbrella group utilizing volunteers from multiple denominations and countries.
 Over the years tens of thousands of Canadians have washed up in some of the world’s danger zones, got in trouble, and had to be rescued. There is drama in bad luck, certainly, but precious little heroism. With Sonia and David Grant we have a different story. They were forced out of Congo by revolutionary blood letting, but could not sit on their hands in Canada while their students, patients an friends were under threat. After a period of recuperation in Saint John, consultation with family, and no doubt plenty of prayers, they went back in. They passed the test of character and they do qualify as Canadian heroes.

Akstin (MCSN: 0-9480), United States Marine Corps Reserve, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Commanding Officer of Company K, Third Battalion, Third Marines, THIRD Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Guam, Marianas Islands, 23 July 1944. Skillfully and swiftly launching a surprise attack on a commanding ridge, Captain Akstin seized the objective with a minimum loss to his rifle company and, despite heavy hostile machine gun fire, organized defenses against an impending counterattack. When an enemy machine gun emplacement opened fire on his company, causing six casualties and threatening his position, he courageously led an attack which accounted for thirteen Japanese and silenced the enemy guns. Receiving a serious wound in the head, he refused to be evacuated until the ridge was secured and the defenses firmly established. His leadership, perseverance and gallant devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

 Ian Carleton joined the firm in February 2003 and is a principal of the firm. He regularly represents corporate and individual clients in complex civil and criminal matters in state and federal court, with a particular focus on disputes over intellectual property rights including patent and copyright infringement, breach of contract and consumer fraud.
 Mr. Carleton is a graduate of Yale Law School and Columbia College. He is admitted to practice in the State of Vermont, the Federal District Court of Vermont, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and has been admitted to practice pro hac vice in both state and federal court in Massachusetts. He is currently a member of the American Bar Association, the Vermont Bar Association, and the Vermont Trial Lawyers Association.
 Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Carleton served as law clerk to the Honorable William K. Sessions, III, Chief Judge of the Federal District Court of Vermont. From 2002 to 2007 Mr. Carleton was an elected member of the Burlington City Council, serving as Council President from 2005-2007. From 2005 to 2009 he served as State Chairman of the Vermont Democratic Party. Email: icarleton@sheeheyvt.com.

Source: Ian Carleton, Burlington City Councilor, Ward One – Biography
 Ian Carleton was elected to the Burlington City Council in March, 2002. He currently serves as Chair of the City’s Ordinance Committee, and also serves on the Community and Economic Development Committee. Prior to being elected to the Council, Carleton was a member of the Burlington Planning Commission. He lives with his wife Brooke and their daughter Lila Jane on Calarco Court in Burlington, Vermont, near the Winooski Bridge.
Ian grew up in central Vermont and eastern Massachusetts. He graduated from Columbia College in New York in 1993 with a degree in Comparative Literature. His first job after college was as a kindergarten teacher.
 In 1996, after two years of teaching and one year of graduate study in literature, Carleton entered Yale Law School. During his three years at Yale Law Carleton immersed himself in clinical legal work and public service. As director of the Housing and Community Development Clinic, he helped start a community owned daycare center in a crack infested neighborhood near the law schools campus and taught legal rights classes to teen parents at one of New Haven’s high schools. As director in the Legislative Advocacy Clinic, he worked primarily on the Connecticut Property Tax Relief Project. In that project, Carleton studied property tax systems from all over the country – including Vermont’s Act 60 – in an effort to come up with workable solutions to Connecticut’s inequitable property tax system. Carleton also served as Treasurer and Board member for The Initiative for Public Interest Law at Yale, a nonprofit organization charged with funding start-up legal projects all over the country which focus on representing disadvantaged individuals and groups. In his third year in law school, Carleton taught a student-faculty workshop called Corporations, the Environment, and Human Rights, that examined how American corporate law affects labor, cultures and ecosystems domestically and internationally.
 Upon graduating from law school Carleton clerked for Vermont Federal District Court Judge William K. Sessions, III in Burlington, Vermont. After completing his clerkship, Carleton spent the 2001 legislative session as an affiliate council to the Vermont Public Interest Research Group working on campaign finance reform. After the Session, he then joined the Burlington law firm of Hoff Curtis, P.C. There, Carleton focused on indigent criminal defense, taking on a contract with the state of Vermont to represent a certain allotment of its public defender caseload.
 During that time, Carleton was also appointed to Vermont’s Criminal Justice Act panel, which permitted him to represent indigent clients in federal court. In that capacity, in late 2002 Carleton tried and won the first not guilty verdict in a federal criminal trial in Burlington since Judge Sessions took the bench in 1996.
 In early 2003, in order to broaden his practice to include more civil litigation and transactional work, Carleton took a position as an associate at Sheehey Furlong & Behm P.C., where he works presently.
 Sports and music have always been integral to Carleton’s life. As a young boy, Ian competed in the traditional sport of his rural New England roots, ski jumping.
 As a teenager, tennis became his sport of choice. Throughout his teenage years, Carleton was ranked in the top five for his age in New England. In 1986 he won the New England championships for boys aged 14 and under. In 1988, as Captain of the Brookline High School Tennis Team, he was awarded the honor of national high school All-American.
 After injuries forced him from the sport of tennis, Carleton began long distance running, and ran both the New York and Boston Marathons in 1992 and 1993. Running evolved into an enthusiasm for triathlon, which, in turn, evolved into a love of bicycle racing.
 During law school, Carleton was Captain of the Yale Cycling Team, which, under his leadership, won the Ivy League Championships and placed eighth at the National Collegiate Cycling Championships in Greenville, South Carolina. Carleton himself was ranked 28th overall nationally in 1998. Once he returned to Vermont, Carleton raced for the Green Mountain Bicycle Club on their top amateur squad.
In 2002, with the birth of his daughter, sports took a back seat to fatherhood. However, in 2003, Carleton rediscovered his enthusiasm for triathlon, competing both in the Shelburne Olympic Distance Triathlon and the Firm-Man Half-Ironman Triathlon in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Carleton is presently training for the 2004 Lake Placid Ironman Triathlon.
 Music has also been a critical component to Carleton’s life. Growing up, Carleton sang and played acoustic and electric guitar in garage bands. In the late 1990’s he developed an enthusiasm for bluegrass and traditional American and Irish folk music. His first bluegrass band was The Professors of Bluegrass. Arriving in Burlington, he joined an old high school friend and formed the Ridgerunners, playing several shows at Higher Ground, at weddings, and on town greens around Vermont and upstate New York.
 Carleton and his wife, Brooke Miller Carleton, were married on October 5, 2001 in the West Brookfield Church, where Ian went to church as a boy.Lila Jane Carleton was born on January 3, 2002 in the early afternoon at Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington.
 

Source: Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, 1897. – Bradford H. Skinner was born in Queen’s, New Brunswick, May 15, 1833. In 1849 he moved to Illinois, and in 1853 he went across the plains to California. Two years later he returned and took a course in medicine at Rush College. In 1859 he entered the law office of Lincoln & Herndon. at Springfield, Ill. After being admitted to the bar he traveled a year for a fire insurance company, and then came to Ann Arbor and graduated in the law class of 1863. The disturbed condition of the times again turned him to medicine, and after taking another course in medicine at St. Louis he again took up its practice.

This fine quilt was purchased at the estate auction of Arthur and Evelyn Black, Cambridge-Narrows, New Brunswick, 10 June 2010. On first glance it looks like an ordinary nine patch pattern, however on closer examination it is a pattern called “Contrary Wife” as if to demonstrate the contrariness, every now and then one of the triangular pieces of the pattern goes in a different direction! The white blocks exhibit some of the finest quilting in the museum collection and the overall condition is very good, indicating this was a special piece. The quilt was purchased from the home of the late Arthur and Evelyn Black, Cambridge-Narrows. Given the style of pattern and the type and colour of materials used, we believe this quilt was made about 1940 and could possibly be a trousseau quilt made by or for Evelyn when she married Arthur Camp Black (18 February 1920-29 January 2009), the son of Frank and Susie Camp Black, 18 December 1940. Evelyn Vera Pugsley (6 February 1925-30 November 2004) was born in Cambridge, the daughter of Frederick Gilbert Pugsley and Bessie Edna Reece. She was a Life Member of the Women’s Missionary Society and Women’s Institute, serving as president of both organizations, and was very involved in the activities of the local Baptist Church and the Queens-Sunbury Baptist Association, serving as the first woman moderator of the Association. Evelyn was known for her cooking, especially her pies, and worked for a number of years at various restaurants.

FRITZ E. SKINNER, M. D.
 Dr. Fritz E. Skinner, who is successfully engaged in the practice of medicine in Joplin, is among the more recent arrivals, but already his skill and professional knowledge have won, recognition in a liberal and constantly growing patronage. He is a native of Illinois, his birth having occurred near Jacksonville, Morgan county. The Skinner family were from New Brunswick, and the father of our subject, Dr. B. H. Skinner, was born in Queens, New Brunswick. He became the best known and most prominent physician of Jacksonville, where he located about 1880, and where for a number of years he enjoyed a very extensive and profitable patronage. He married Miss Eliza Stewart, a daughter of Dr. H. M. Stewart, who represented an old Kentucky family. Not only the maternal grandfather and the father of our subject were physicians, but four of his uncles also engaged in the practice of medicine. Perhaps an inherited tendency had something to do with the boy’s choice of a profession, but even so, an inherited tendency is only a latent power which must feel the awakening touch of effort to be of any avail in the active affairs of life. He pursued his early education in the public schools of his native city and afterward entered Illinois College, of Jacksonville, where his literary course was completed. Resolving to make the practice of medicine his life work, his reading was for a time pursued under the direction of his father and later he attended the Marion Sims College, of St. Louis, where he was graduated. with the class of 1892. He then returned to Jacksonville, where he engaged in practice and for a time was also a medical practitioner of St. Louis. In that city in 1898 he pursued a post-graduate course in the Barnes College, and then came to Joplin, where he has since made his home. His college training and practical experience well qualified him to take up his work here, and he soon demonstrated his ability to successfully cope with the intricate problems concerning disease and health. He served as city physician here for one year, was vice-president of the County Medical Society, in which he still retains membership, and is a member of the Academy of Medicine of Joplin.
 In May, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Skinner and Miss Ella B. Burge, of that city, a most estimable lady, whose hospitable home is a favorite resort with the many friends she has made since coming to Joplin. In his political views the Doctor is a Republican and is deeply interested in the growth and success of the party, although he takes no part in its work, owing to the demands of his profession upon his time and attention. Socially he is a member of Mineral Lodge, No. 330, I. 0. 0. F., of Joplin; also a medical examiner of the Modern Woodmen of America, of which he is an active member. In religious faith he is a Presbyterian. He is always courteous, kindly and affable, and those who know him personally have for him warm regard.

“Fate of Nora Harris.” Coroner’s Jury Decides That She Was Murdered.
Jacksonville, Ill., Oct. 7. – Miss Nora Harris, who died Sept. 11, as the reported result of a buggy accident, was disinterred yesterday, and, according to the verdict of the coroner’s jury, was found to have been murdered.
Dr. Fritz Skinner is charged with causing her death by a criminal operation, and Adam Large, her stepfather, and William Hobson, her lover, are declared accessories. Warrants are out for the three men, but they have disappeared.

From The Minneapolis Journal, October 13, 1897.
“One More Unfortunate.”
St. Louis, Oct. 12. – Sheriff Hardin COX of Morgan county reported here this forenoon having in custody Adam LARGE and William HOBSON, against whom warrants are out charging them with murder of Nora HARRIS, stepdaughter of the former and sweetheart of the other man. The prisoners, who were captured in Van Buren, Ark., were taken to Jacksonville, arriving there at noon. A doctor is also under arrest at Jacksonville as an accomplice.

From The Decatur Daily Review, December 3, 1897.
“Turns State’s Evidence. – Norra Harris’ Stepfather Testifies Against Accomplices.”
Jacksonville, Ill., Dec. 2. – This morning in the trial of Dr. Skinner with Large and Hobson for causing the death of Nora Harris, Large, the stepfather of the girl, turned state’s evidence and caused the other prisonners to turn pale with fear. The trial bids fair to fasten the guilt of killing an innocent girl on Hobson and Skinner, thouth there seems to be little doubt that her mother, Mrs. Large, and stepfather were accessory. The affair has caused great excitement and public feeling is very strong.

What’s in a Name?
 Atlantic Baptist University has a rich heritage of family connections. Over the years, many generations of families have been represented on the UBBTS/ABC/ABU campus. Currently there is one family in particular wich stands out.
 Meet the Cougle family who, together represent each possible year of attendance at ABU. Brianne, is in her fourth year of the psychology program, while her younger brother, Stuart, is a third year biology major. Their cousin, Hilary, is a seconde year history major, and Maradeth the youngest family member at ABU, is in here first year of the biology program.
 How did this ordinary Christian family from the small town of Bristol, NB end up dominating ABU? It is a simple story of family connections.
 In fact it seems that this story begins over 30 years ago with a woman name Marsha (McIsaac ’73) Cougle who attended Atlantic Baptist College.
 “I had such a great experience at ABC that I really encouraged my kids to do the same. Because I talked so much about my days at ABC, my kids really did no think of other places,” said Marsha.
 All of Marsha’s encouragement appears to have paid off. With three of her children and one nice already attending ABU, it comes as no surprise to learn that her youngest son Caylen, who will be graduating from high school by the end of the school year, is also applying to ABU.
Does the family see anything spectacular about all of them attending ABU at the same time? It doesn’t seem so. Rather, it seems normal for this family, which has always been a close-knit family, to stick together. As Hilary said, “We lived on the same street most of our lives, and always attended the same schools. Why should university be any different?”
 The Cougle family, with their strong Christian foundation, and one alumnus who was willing to openly share her inspiring ABC experiences with her family members, is keeping ABU’s rich heritage of family connections alive.

Source: Marriage: The Cunningham Family of Antigonish reports the date of marriage as 2 June 1851. From the “Eastern Chronicle” of 27 March, 1851; Married: on Mar. 21 at Antigonish by Rev. Thomas Trotter, Francis S. Cunningham to Isabell Graham.

D.G. Widden, “History of The Town Of Antigonish”, the Casket, Aug 10, 1934 states:

He [Francis Simeon Cunningham] was a carpenter by trade and built a number of buildings in Antigonish. Until the late 60’s he resided at Antigonish Harbour, but bought the Hill property on the east side of Church Street and moved into town. He built Cunningham’s Hotel in Antigonish, in 1859 on the south side of Main Street, between Church and Court Streets, and was leased by John Day Cunningham, who had a small store on the ground floor, in the western end of the building, his wife managing the hotel until her death, when it passed into the hands of Rufus Hale who changed the name to Merrimac House. This house, locally known as “Frank’s Villa”, was built around 1869. The 2-storey structure, a simplified example of Second Empire architecture, features a pitched mansard roof (allowing full headroom in the top floor) and a central chimney. The paired doors with glass are also an identifying feature of Second Empire; at this time large-pane glazing in the door itself supplanted the traditional classical sidelights. The 2-bay facade has a plain front porch and 2/2 windows, some of which are stained glass. The coloured glass glazing, especially the single pane surrounded by smaller panes, are probably later Queen Anne-style additions. There are dormers on all sides of the house as well as bay windows which mimic the projecting pavillions characteristic of Second Empire. The house is covered in clapboard siding. Apart from some basic elements, 105 Church Street has a lightness of form which sets it apart from the richly ornamented Second Empire; it is a simple, understated vernacular interpretation of this style.The builder and first owner of 105 Church Street was Francis S. Cunningham who purchased the 12-acre property for $1,780. He sold the lot in sections and later in 1897 sold the house and 5400 square feet to Alexander Thompson, a bookkeeper for $350. It is possible some of the decorative work in this house can be creditted to Ozias Leduc’s assistants who hired themselves out locally as painters when their commission work at St. Ninian’s Cathedral was completed in 1904. This house has maintained its architectural integrity for there have been few alterations over the years.

RICHARD N. GRAHAM.
 While it is certainly true that every man succeeds better for having acquired a knowledge of anything, the training given the person who aspires to become a lawyer is so rigid and thorough that he is generally prepared to enter almost any line and master it. There are a number of cases where men do so prepare themselves without really intending to enter the profession, but simply to gain the habit of handling their problems in an orderly and methodical manner, and to receive the benefits accruing from the expansion of their intellect which must come from such a course. Richard N. Graham is manager of the railways connected with the Pennsylvania-Ohio Electric Company, and it is a recognized fact that his skillful handling of the affairs of his office comes through his knowledge of the law, and its application to business.
 Richard N. Graham was born at Jackson, Ohio, on November 7, 1876, a son of Christopher and Nancy Jane (Dodge) Graham, both of whom are now deceased. Christopher Graham was a hardware merchant both at Jackson, and later at Joplin, Missouri, to which city the family moved when Richard N. Graham was still a lad.
 Growing up at Joplin, he attended its high school, and then entered the University of Arkansas in 1895 and took both the classical and legal courses, and was graduated therefrom in 1900 with the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. In 1901 Mr. Graham was admitted to the Arkansas and Missouri bars, and that same year established himself in a general law practice with a Mr. Hurst, under the firm name of Hurst & Graham, which was later changed to Grayston & Graham. In 1908 Mr. Graham joined the legal department of the Stone & Webster electrical interests, first being at Dallas, Texas, for a short time, and then, in 1910, taking charge of the claim department of the Houston Electric Company, a property managed by Stone & Webster. He immediately was Transferred to an operating position and continued with the Houston Company in various capacities until 1916. In September of the latter year Mr. Graham came to Youngstown as assistant manager of railways connected with the Mahoning & Shenango Railways & Light Company, and in 1917 was made manager of that department, retaining the position with the Pennsylvania-Ohio Electric Company which succeeded the former corporation. Mr. Graham has had a varied experience and when he began practicing law at Joplin, Missouri, he was a member of the Missouri State Legislature, and recognized as one of the forceful young orators of his district.
 In 1901 Mr. Graham was united in marriage with Miss Robey B. Skinner of Jacksonville, Illinois, and they have five children, namely : Harold, Mildred, Helen, Ruth and Robey.

September 20, 1955: Richard N. Graham, chairman of the board of the Youngstown Railway Co., announces his retirement, the announcement coming exactly 39 years after he came to Youngstown as assistant manager of railways in charge of transportation from the Mahoning and Shenango Power and Light Co.

J. M. (Mac) Ferguson
Profile
 J. M. (Mac) Ferguson graduated from Saint John High School in 1949 after which he worked for Cox Hammett Accounting from where he earned his C.A. degree. Always active and engaging, Mac joined the Sea Cadets serving more than ten years and becoming a Chief Officer. In 1955, Mac married Phyllis Dykeman and together raised a family of 3 boys and one girl.
 Mac joined the Boys and Girls Club’s Board of Directors in 1972 and continues to serve on the Board to this day. Mac became the Club’s treasurer from 1977 through 1979. He served as First Vice-President 1981- 82 and became the Club President in 1982 and served for two terms. His tenure as Past President was 1984-1986.
 During his time on the Board of Directors, he has been chairperson of the Finance, Building, Transportation, Program, and Executive Committees. In 1974, the year of the Club fire, he played an instrumental role in the rebuilding campaign that gave us the Club we are in today. He also assisted in developing a transportation service in 1977, which necessitated the acquisition of 15 passenger vans totalling seven over the years and a 43 passenger bus in 1989.
 While Mr. Ferguson was serving on our Board of Directors, he was also a member of the Saint John Rotary Club, for which he has held various positions, including Vice-President and President. Mr. Ferguson was recognized for his outstanding contribution as a Rotarian with the awarding of the Paul Harris Fellowship, which is the highest recognition bestowed upon a Rotarian.
 Mac has been a very involved, dedicated and conscientious Board member who has been instrumental in major developments within the Saint John Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Ferguson is highly respected by his peers and by the staff and volunteers of the Club. After forty years of dedication, it is most fitting that the Saint John Boys and Girls Club induct Mr. J. M. (Mac) Ferguson in to the Order of the Master Builders, the 20th day of January 2012.

Il était à la formation de la brigade d’artillerie de marine passé au 1er Régiment à Lorient. Il passa avec succès le concours de Versailles et fut nommé sous-lieutenant en 1901, lieutenant en second en 1903, lieutenant en premier en 1906, capitaine le 24 août 1909. Entre temps, il avait fait de nombreuses colonies. Il était à la Direction d’Artillerie de Rochefort quand la guerre éclata en 1914 et se distingua lors de l’explosion d’un poudrière. Envoyé à plusieurs reprises sur le front, il fit la guerre avec le corps colonial. En 1919, il prenait sa retraite avec la Croix de la Légion d’honneur, et entrait en qualité de chef de service à la maison Marcesche où il resta de nombreuses années. Il devait par la suite prendre la direction d’une entreprise industrielle où il fit preuve de réelles qualités d’organisateur. Le commerce lorientais lui avait marqué l’an dernier, sa confiance, en l’élisant juge au Tribunal de Commerce.

 Alice Jacklet has been an important professional in the Department of Biological Sciences for nearly three decades. After serving as research technician in cell biology and research assistant in developmental neurobiology for 11 years, she was appointed to her current position as Instructional Support Specialist.
 Here she coordinates the laboratories for the General Biology program, keeping well organized a cadre of 500 students and 15 graduate teaching assistants. She coordinates all labs and the lectures, places orders for supplies, monitors inventory, supervises the teaching assistants, designs and preps the labs, writes and illustrates the lab exercises, and generally, say colleagues, keeps the entire operation running smoothly — a far cry from the situation she faced when first taking over the job. Her goal of providing an atmosphere that can inspire students to seek the excitement of discovery and the pleasure of solving a problem is realized time and again.
 After more than 25 years she is now prized, not only in the Department of Biological Sciences, but also across the entire campus for her extraordinary energy and determination, excellent organizational skills, and unselfish commitment to students and this institution.
 In addition Jacklet has provided to the external community a stellar array of extra- curricular services. This dedication includes service on seven departmental committees, 22 University-wide committees; service to ten student-related organizations, events, committees, and scholastic endeavors; and workshop presentations for nine classes at five Capital Region elementary schools in five different communities.
 Besides her outstanding work in teaching and mentoring students, she has contributed significantly professionally, publishing four textbooks and laboratory manuals, authoring or co-authoring five scientific articles, and authoring ten reviews of major works in the field of biology.

Alice received her B.A. in Biology from Middlebury College and her M.S. from the University of Oregon in Eugene. She is the overall coordinator of as team-taught Genereal Biology course, specifically teaching and supervising the laboratory sections. Her research interests include mammalian systematics and behavior. (Source : An Analysis of Bone/Muscle Movement. Alice C. Jacklet. 1994).

C’est en l’année 1771 que Lenot nous apparaît pour la première fois, à l’occasion de la célébration de son mariage en cette paroisse. De fait, suivant l’acte officiel, « le 31e jour de may, après les trois publications ordonnées, faites à notre messe paroissiale . . .des personnes de maître, Paschal Jean Lenot, architecte, fils de feu maître Jean Lenot, marchand limonadier à Paris, et de Marie-Thérèse Le Beau, ses père et mère, d’une part, et demoiselle Anne-Thérèse Herkenne, fille majeure des défunts Jean-Ferdinand Herkenne, greffier du Mont de Pieté à Liège, et de demoiselle Marguerite Labotte, aussi ses père et mère d’autre part, nous curé soussigné avons donné la bénédiction nuptiale au dit Lenot. . . en présence de monseigneur le marquis de Voyer, chargé de procuration, de don Deschamp bénédictin, de Madame Rullecourt, du sieur Jean-Baptiste Régnier, etc. ».
 Après la mort de son premier mari, Marie-Thérèse Le Beau avait donné sa main à « Edme-Claude Richard, marchand limonadier à Paris, au coin des rues Saint-Martin et Aubry Le Boucher, paroisse Saint-Jacques de la Boucherie ». Le 8 mai, par devant notaire, elle donnait son consentement pour le mariage de son fils. Le marquis d’Argenson acceptait de la représenter à la cérémonie et accordait ainsi un témoignage de sa haute estime pour Jean Lenot, et la présente célébration du mariage aux Ormes en est une preuve non moins évidente.
 En compulsant les registres « baptistaires », nous y voyons que, le 19 septembre 1771, « est né à.Paris monsieur le comte d’Argenson, fils de M. le marquis de Voyer » ; et que Lenot fut parrain, aux Ormes, le onze décembre de la même année. Mais il y. a plus, et un fils de Lenot fut présenté sur les fonts : « Le 28 octobre 1772, baptême de Jean-René-Paschal, fils de M. Paschal-Jean Lenot architecte, et de Anne-Thérèse Herkenne, son épouse ; parrain haut et puissant seigneur monseigneur Marc-René de Voyer de Paulmy, marquis d’Argenson, lieutenant général des armées du roy, etc., marraine haute et puissante dame madame Marie-Josèphe-Félicité-Constance de Mailly d’Aucourt son épouse », qui signe « Mailly de Voyer».
 Plus tard, le 1er mai 1774, Lenot remplit la fonction de parrain avec sa femme ; puis celle-ci fut marraine avec un officier des haras, selon cet acte : « L’an 1778, le 23 mars, a été baptisé par moy vicaire soussigné Anne-Thérèze née du même jour de Louis Neveu, domestique de M. le marquis de Voyer, et de Marie Brandon son épouse: le, parrain a été M. Grandemaison, inspecteur des haras de Touraine et d’Anjou, et marraine dame Anne-Thérèse Herkenne, femme
de Monsieur Lenot, architecte de Monsieur le Marquis de Voyer. (signé) : Grandmaison, Anne-Thérèse Herkenne Lenot, André, vicaire des Ormes. »
 D’après un contrat relatif à l’abbaye de Marmoutiers, Lenot était encore aux Ormes en 1782, époque à laquelle il dressait « le devis concernant le grand escalier du couvent », qui fut « fait par Lenot architecte, résidant aux Ormes en Poitou ». Une note, de dom Abrassart nous appprend que cet escalier, réputé dans la France entière, « a été fait sur les dessins de M. Pascal Lenot, architecte de Paris,et sous la conduite de M. Étienne Fournier, de Rhetel-Mazarin, appareilleur », choisis par lé grand prieur Dom Quinquet.
 Nous verrons tout à l’heure comment Fournier dut être envoyé à Marmoutier pour exécuter les plans de Lenot.

 5 floréal (24 avril 1794). — Un seul acte d’accusation, rédigé par Darthé, amena devant le tribunal Jacques Philippe Laignel (né à Armentières, 62 ans), abbé de Saint-Éloy, député ordinaire des États en 1789 ; Barthélémy-François Laignel (52 ans), religieux de Saint-Vaast ; Jean-Baptiste Wartelle (72 ans), conseiller honoraire au Conseil provincial d’Artois; Ursule-Angélique Wartelle, veuve de M. de Lannoy de Ranguilly (63 ans) ; André-Pierre Bonnelle (71 ans), domestique ; Adrien-Louis-Joseph Corbeau (58 ans), secrétaire-commis au département. [...]
 Adrien Corbeau s’était vu refuser en décembre 1792 un certificat de civisme. Il avait alors fait valoir son activité dans le service de la garde nationale et son ancienneté dans les bureaux ; il avait représenté « qu’il avait sacrifié à la patrie son fils unique ». On lui délivra le certificat demandé ; mais, le 17 mai 1793, les employés du département le dénoncèrent comme ayant tenu des propos inciviques. « Dans un moment d’humeur, sur ce que l’on avait accordé la signature à un autre qu’à lui, il avait dit que dans quinze jours on verrait qui serait le maître. » Adrien Corbeau, renvoyé des bureaux, était prisonnier à l’Abbatiale depuis le 29 septembre. [...]
 Joseph Le Bon, dans son arrêté de renvoi à l’accusateur public, trouva tout simple de leur adjoindre l’abbé de Saint-Eloy, « accusé d’avoir conservé, disséminé des écrits fanatiques et royalistes », et Corbeau, prévenu « d’avoir envoyé chaque jour aux deux Laignel des écrits contre-révolutionnaires et fanatiques copiés de sa main, et d’avoir, par discours et par actes, outragé et persécuté les patriotes ». [...]
 Au moment du départ, dit un des détenus de l’Hôtel-Dieu, Corbeau vint dans les greniers, se jeta dans nos bras, nous fit ses adieux et se recommanda à notre souvenir. » Cet homme, bien convaincu que vainement il exposerait sa défense, dit à ses juges : « Je sais que vous avez résolu ma mort ; je m’y suis résigné, et n’ai rien à répondre qu’à l’Être-Suprême : plus que vous, il connaît le fond de mon âme ; il vengera ma mort et cette de tous les innocents dont vous avez tramé la perte. »
 Aucun des accusés ne fut épargné.

Stacy Beardsley, a soldier’s wife released this week from the hospital after a grueling surgery, watched two men in pressed military uniforms walk steadily to her front door.
 "Tell me he’s just hurt," the Indiana woman told the pair, according to family friend Marilyn Piersdorf.
 "Well, they couldn’t tell her that," Piersdorf said.
 Her husband, Army Sgt. William "B.J." Beardsley, who recently lived in Coon Rapids, died Monday in Diwaniyah, Iraq, 80 miles south of Baghdad, after a roadside bomb went off near his vehicle.
 The 25-year-old soldier had re-enlisted, in part, for the health insurance to cover his wife’s medical bills. He died the day she left the hospital.
 The surgery had been on his mind until the end, said Beardsley’s biological father, Jim Beardsley, of Blaine. "On Friday, we talked and he said, ’If anything happens, call the Red Cross and they’ll call me and I’ll be there,’ " Jim Beardsley said.
 His son had another request. “He said, ‘If anything happens to me, I want to make sure my kids know who I am,’ ” Jim Beardsley said. “He was afraid that if something happened to him, the kids being as small as they are, they wouldn’t understand why he was gone. They’d think he was just gone. That was his fear.”
 Beardsley was born in Muskogee, Okla., and his parents split when he was a boy. He spent his early years hopping between military bases with his mother and stepfather, a military man himself.
 Jim Beardsley said his son arrived in Coon Rapids in 2002 or 2003 to operate heavy equipment at his father’s excavating business. “He’d outwork anybody. If somebody else would dig, he’d dig faster,” Jim Beardsley said.
 B.J. Beardsley left the Twin Cities in December 2005 to join the Army. His batta lion in the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Ga., left for Iraq last September to provide support for U.S. coalition troops and to help train Iraqi security forces. After Beardsley enlisted, his wife and their two children — a 3-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy — moved to an Indianapolis suburb to be closer to the wife’s family.
 It was B.J. Beardsley’s second term of service. He joined the Army just after high school, was stationed in South Korea and at Fort Campbell, Ky., and met his wife, a soldier at the time. The two married five years ago. After leaving the service, the couple arrived in Coon Rapids and spent three years hopping between there and Indiana, Jim Beardsley said, before family financial and medical concerns and the need for insurance prompted B.J. Beardsley’s re-enlistment.
 Beardsley’s mother, Lavonna Harper, who lives in Oklahoma, said at first her son believed the U.S. cause in Iraq was just. But just a few weeks ago, Harper received an e-mail from him that said he could no longer make sense of why he was over there. “I wrote him back and told him to be careful and keep his head down and his butt covered,” Harper said. “I asked him what he needed me to send and when he was coming home.” She never got a reply.
 Grandfather Jim Beardsley, of Roseville, noted that his grandson was known as a baseball pro on the military bases where he grew up — even joining a military kids’ traveling team while his parents were stationed in Georgia.
 Piersdorf, a former North St. Paul schoolteacher and a family friend, described Beardsley as one of the most polite men she had ever met. “He was rather quiet, respectful — but with a great smile,” Piersdorf said. “He had that Southern politeness about him.”
 “Anybody who would get out of the Army and go back in, with a wife and kids, do what he did, is a hero,” the soldier’s father said.
 B.J. Beardsley was scheduled to return to Indiana in April for his son’s fifth birthday, family members said. They were told he was to leave Iraq for stateside duty in August.
 Beardsley’s wife and biological father say Beardsley will be buried in Indiana, close to his widow and two children. The military will offer a full-honors memorial service in the Twin Cities area, though it has yet to be scheduled.
Beardsley was the 45th military member from Minnesota to die in the Iraq war. 

Stephen Ivan Miller, Sr. was born in 1838 son of Stephen L. Miller 1811-1864 and Mary Miller 1814-1874.
 Stephen was probably born on the family farm in Section 18, which was purchased in 1836. He helped his father on the farm until his marriage to Betsy Rebecca Hosley in 1864. They had two children Isabelle "Belle" Miller and Stephen Ivan Miller, Jr.. The following was given to Martha Hosley Baird Musson (originator of this genealogy) by Emily Knoop Curdy, Vlney Curdy’s wife. Volney was Isabelle Miller’s son. "Grandpa and Grandma Miller left the farm a great many years ago. They bought land that is now downtown Pontiac, Grandpa ran a livery barn there." As related by Charles T. Curdy, Steph’s Great Grandson, "This livery barn was used as a delivery point of negroes in the Underground Railroad."
 "It was in Pontiac that he made a good bit of money when his land was plotted and sold. He and Betsy went to Pasadena, Calif. to live with their son, Stephen Ivan and his wife, Florence. Stephen, Jr. was at the time Dean of Leland Stanford University. Grandpa and Grandma came back to Michigan and rented a house in the southwestern part of Howell, Michigan. Then they moved to West Washington St. They lived there until their deaths in 1918 and 1923. Both are buried in the Van Kuren Cemetery located on the corner of Curdy and Eager Roads.

The Biographical Review noted above says this about Hon. Charles N. Skinner:

“[…] ex-judge of probate for the county of St. John, N.B. and in 1900, Recorder for the city of St. John. Born in St. John, 12 March 1833, son of Samuel Skinner, whose father came from New England to the province just before the Revolutionary war. Samuel Skinner was born in N.S. and during his active life was a leading builder and contractor of St. John. He married Phebe Sherwood, daughter of Robert Golding and grand-daughter of Captain Golding, a Loyalist who commanded a company of dragoons through the Revolution, and afterward emigrated with his family to the Maritime Provinces.
 Charles N. Skinner received his elementary education in the schools in St. John, and after studying law with Charles W. Stockton, was admitted an attorney in 1858, and in 1860 was called to the bar. He began the practice of his profession in the city of his birth, where he had since won a reputation as a keen, clear-headed lawyer, prudent in counsel and devoted to the interests of his clients. For nearly twoscore years, Mr. Skinner has been active in politics, and from 1861 to 1868 he was a member of the Legislative Assembly. In August, 1867, he was appointed Solicitor General, an office which he ably filled until March 1868, when he was made Judge of Probate for St. John County. During the same year, he was appointed Queen’s Counsel by the provincial government, and in 1883, was thus honored by the Dominion government. In 1887, Mr.Skinner, who had previously resigned his position as Judge of Probate, was elected to the Dominion Parliament, in which he served until 1892. He subsequently resumed his position as Judge of Probate, having been reappointed in June 1892, and served until January 1894, when he resigned to accept his present office of City Recorder. For several years he was a member of the St. John Council, and while occupying that position took advantage of every opportunity to advance the welfare of the city and the interests of its citizens.
 Fraternally, Mr. Skinner is a Mason and an Odd Fellow, and he is a member of the Union Club of St. John. In his religious belief he is a Baptist, and contributes generously toward the support of that denomination. In June 1896, he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law from King’s College, Windsor, N.S.”

The D.H. Boyd family migrated from Londonderry, New Hampshire, in the 1870’s, homesteading on a farm north of Ocheyedan. They had a family of eight, of whom Frank J. Boyd was the youngest. Frank farmed the family farm until 1918, when he sold it and bought the mortician and furniture business of William Marshall, and the family moved to town. He worked with the Waltons of Sibley and his son, Robert A. Boyd. An employee of the Waltons at that time, George Wick, recalled that the Waltons had Mr. Boyd furnish the automobile hearse for their funerals, and "Uncle Hugh" Walton did Mr. Boyd’s embalming in the back room of the old store on the east side of the street. As a 19-year-old greenhorn, George Wick sat through many a two- or three-hour session with Mr. Boyd and “Uncle Hugh”, "helping" with the process but mostly listening to Mr. Boyd recounting the early days-the 1800’s. Frank Boyd operated the business for 24 years, and in 1942, it was dissolved.
 Frank married Mary Van Cleve, and they had one son and three daughters. He was intensely interested in the Masonic Lodge and fishing. He died in July of 1943.

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Sergeant William J. Beardsley, 25, of Coon Rapids, Minnesota, died February 26, 2007, in Diwaniyah, Iraq, of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle.Beardsley was assigned to the 260th Quartermaster Battalion, 3rd Sustainment Troop Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Georgia.

TULSA, Okla. — A soldier with Minnesota ties who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq this week was a native Oklahoman who lived briefly in Coon Rapids, Minn., where he worked as a landscape contractor.
 Army Sgt. William “B.J.” Beardsley, 25, a Muskogee native, was seven months into his first tour of duty in Iraq when he was killed Monday, according to the Defense Department. He was due back home next month on leave, family members said.
 “At 25, you got the rest of your life ahead of you, why not enjoy it, right?” said Beardsley’s aunt, Charlotte Guinn of Tahlequah.
 Enlisting in the military at 18, Beardsley was planning to become a career soldier, his family said. He spent three years stationed in South Korea and at Fort Campbell, Ky.
 He left the Army briefly in 2005 to work as a landscape contractor with his father in Coon Rapids but decided the military life was for him, said his mother, Lavonna Harper. So he re-enlisted last May and eventually shipped out for Iraq.
 At first, he believed the U.S. cause in Iraq was just, Harper said. But just a few weeks ago, Harper received an e-mail from him that said he couldn’t make sense anymore of why he was over there.
 “I wrote him back and told him to be careful and keep his head down and his butt covered,” Harper said. “I asked him what he needed me to send and when he was coming home.” She never got a response.
 Beardsley was born in Muskogee. When he was 5, he moved with his mother and stepfather — a career military man himself — to Germany and Georgia. He returned to Oklahoma when he was 16, moving to Tahlequah. He was married at 20 and recently divorced, his family said. Harper said her son was a devoted father to his two kids, enjoyed weightlifting and riding motorcycles.
 “I’ll miss talking to him, hearing his voice, touching him, just hearing me say the words ‘I love you, son,’” Harper said. “When they’re gone, it’s like ‘Oh my God.’”
 Beardsley was assigned to the 260th Quartermaster Battalion, 3rd Sustainment Troop Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division of Fort Stewart, Ga. He was the 52nd person with strong Minnesota ties to die in connection with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The family was enumerated on the 1850 and 1860 Census for Polk, Mo. Lyle Keith WILLIAMS, p. 57, only stated that George married and resided in Adel, IOWA.

In Memory of John Rowe (1929-2014)
Posted: April 8, 2014
 We are saddened to announce the passing of longtime employee and friend of Hope International University, Dr. John Rowe. Dr. Rowe began serving HIU in 1967 and held a number of positions in his time here including Professor, Dean of Students, and Senior Advancement Officer. He was a friend and mentor to many, influencing the lives of generations of students, staff, faculty and members of our community. He passed away on April 7, 2014, just six weeks shy of his 85th birthday, but the effects of his ministry will be felt for many years to come.
 One of John Rowe’s earliest memories was talking to God in the parlor of his Grandpa Rowe’s farmhouse. As a youth, John talked to God through his music, when he became the church pianist at the Church of the Brethren in Dallas Center, Iowa. Later, he talked to congregations as a pastor, to students as a professor, and to troubled souls as a counselor.
 “John was HIU’s ‘Renaissance Man,’” commented President John Derry. “There is not an area of campus where his presence has not been felt.”
 Dr. Rowe began his career at HIU when he and his wife, Katherine, moved to Long Beach in 1967. His positions of service also included a Professor of Preaching and Philosophy, Dean of Students, Athletic Director, Financial Aid Officer, and Housing and Food Services Manager. He wrote in his autobiographical notes that he believed the Lord brought him to HIU to work primarily with young preaching majors, because of his years of experience in various denominations and church-related organizations. He wrote with fondness of his work at HIU and the changes he had witnessed.
 Multiple generations of Hope International University alumni owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Rowe for talk of another kind: the kind of talk that builds relationships and raises funds for a cause.
 “John Rowe was never afraid to ask a prospective donor to invest in HIU,” said Vice President for Institutional Advancement Michael Mulryan. “He has played a significant role in the lives of our campus and students over the course of many decades.”
 Dr. Rowe held a Bachelor of Arts degree in Preaching Ministry from Minnesota Bible College, and both Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Vanderbilt University. He was licensed as a Counselor in Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois, and served in the mental health field during the early 1960s, in addition to his work as a minister and a church musician.
 A memorial service for Dr. Rowe was held on Friday, April 25th in HIU’s Pacific Auditorium. A video recording of the service is available at www.youtube.com/hiuniversity.

D’autres parents laissent leurs enfants en France pour leur éviter, dans un premier temps au moins, les imprévus et dangers de la fuite. Ils les confient à l’OSE ou à d’autres organisations avant de partir. Jankiel et Johanna Bialystock, apatrides en voie de naturalisation hollandaise, ne sont pas venus de Belgique, mais des Pays-Bas à travers la Belgique. Avant l’ultime phase du « voyage », ils laissent leurs deux fils de 6 et 7 ans dans une colonie de la Croix-Rouge suisse – Secours aux enfants, à Pringy, près d’Annecy. Le 23 septembre, ils réussissent leur passage. Il faut imaginer qu’ils ne peuvent pas être sûrs que ces homes d’enfants ne seront pas raflés, car les mesures d’exception de Vichy font rage. En Suisse, ils obtiennent une autorisation d’entrée pour leurs enfants. Six mois plus tard, une femme hollandaise, en route vers la Suisse avec un passeur de la Cimade, reçoit la mission de les prendre au passage à Pringy et de les amener aux parents. Un rapport du commissaire aux réfugiés – dont nous évoquons le rôle plus loin révèle l’état de santé pitoyable dans lequel ont vécu beaucoup des enfants à la suite de leur longue cavale en France, ou même plus tard, cachés : le petit Rafael Bialystock, 6 ans, a eu les pieds gelés et des furoncles sur tout le corps.

On September 4th, following, he was taken prisoner by the British Troups on New York Island, and confined eleven days in close jail.
 Finally on December 25th, 1776, he with two-hundred and twenty-five others was put on board the Glasgow at New York, to be carried to Connecticut for exchange.
 In 1777, Thomas Catlin was voted one of a committee to purchase and provide clothing to the Continental Army, from Litchfield, Connecticut. In 1780 Thomas Catlin of Litchfield was appointed one of the inspectors of rations for the army. (Source: Connecticut in the Revolution, pg. 395)
 Thomas was the son of Thomas Catlin and Abigail Bissell. He married Avis Buell on December 25, 1763 in Litchfield, CT. They had six children, Thomas 3rd, Truman, Abel (Dr.), Levi, Avis, and Ann Catlin.
