ROLLS’ COURT, Aug. 5.
COLYEAR V. MULGRAVE
 This case came before the Court upon a demurrer to an original bill, and a bill of revival and supplement, filed by Harriet Frances Colyear, one of the natural children or the late Earl Portmore, praying that certain agreements entered into between the late Earl and hisi only son, Brownlow Charles Colyear, in favour of herself and three sisters, might be carried into execution. 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 – Report V (June, 1917) :
ROY CHURCHILL SKINNER
Born at Dedham, Mass., Oct. 8, 1874.
Parents Joseph Crandall, Alice F. (Gilbert) Skinner.
School: Roxbury Latin School.
Years in College: 1893-97.
Degrees: A.B.; D.M.D. 1909 (Tufts Dental School).

Child: Joseph Churchill, Nov. 15, 1913.
Occupation: Dentist.
Address: (business) 29 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Mass.; (home) 10 Heckle St., Wellesley Hills, Mass..
The advent, in 1913, of a prospective Harvard man has been the most important event in my affairs since the publication of the last report.
 A fairly prolific garden has occupied my leisure hours in an endeavor to reduce the High Cost of Living. I have alos been interested in dental affairs as a whole, and have served for the last three years, as secretary of the Metropolitan District of the Massachusetts Dental Society.

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.

September 1932 brings a story on a Depression lottery winner, when 22-year-old “Crete girl” Oma McIlnay wins a $50,000 “Shrine prize” and gives half to Crete Mills receiving clerk Walter Kupfer. 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. Duncan Hines was a travelling salesman turned food and lodging critic who published a book called “Lodging for a Night” in 1938, extolling the best places to stay while on the road.

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.
Kathleen Skinner, a former member of the Congregation, has been an Associate since 2004. She is currently training as a Hospice volunteer. One of her two children works for the College of Mount Saint Vincent as Director of Annual Giving.
