George Selby and Mary Josephine (McDuffee) Junkins [were] born 10, 1846 and February 12, 1848, at South Berwick, Maine, and Rochester, New Hampshire, respectively. They were married at Lawrence, Mass., April 12, 1870 (4/2/70) and, with the exception of the first year of their married life during which Mr. Junkins was in charge of a woolen factory at North Berwick, Me., lived continuously in that city, of which he was twice Mayor, up to the time of his death on November 12, 1900. Some three years after his death and after her daughters Helen and Marian had graduated from the Boston University School of Medecine and Radcliffe College respectively in 1903 (1903), Mrs. Junkins removed with her daughter Helen to Lowell, Mass, where they resided upt to the time of the latter’s marriage to Edward J. Beach at her sister Marian’s home on the grounds of Leland Stanford, Jr. University at Palo Alto, California, in April 1909.
 Having previously sold her home on Tower Hill, Lawrence, (110 Bodwell street), Mrs. Junkins thereafter became a considerable traveller, making frequent visits to her daughters in Brooklyn, N.Y., Dubuque, Iowa, and Leland Stanford, Jr., University, California, taking occasion to see such natural wonders as The Yellowstone, The Yosemite, and The Grand Canyon of Arizona en route, a tour of Alaska in 1911, and one of Europe extending through Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belgium, in 1912. She last visited her eldest daughter at Brooklyn on her return from Europe in September, 1912, at which time she took the pictures of her grand-daughter Helen seated in her baby chairs and bath-tub on the roof of the apartment house at 128 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, with the tower of the Christian Science Church accross the way in the background, which appear in Helen’s baby album. Leaving for Dubuque on this occasion, Mrs. Junkins made the trip up the Hudson on one of the Day Line steamers and opined that, except for the castles, the real Rhine which she had traversed a few weeks previously had nothing on its American prototype! Shortly after her youngest daughter Marian’s third child (Carlton Skinner) was born at the hospital in Palo Alto, California, in April, 1913, Mrs. Junkins herself was forced to become a patient in the same hospital where she underwent two operations for the stomach trouble from which she had long been a sufferer! She rallied sufficiently to make the trip to Dubuque, Iowa, in the early Summer of 1913, but suffered a relapse shortly after her arrival and died in the hospital to which she had been removed in Dubuque on August 6, 1913. Both she and her husband sleep in the lot which he had provided in the Extension to Bellevue Cemetery at Lawrence, Mass. Prior to his election to the Mayoralty, Mr. Junkins had been in the Meat and Provision business. After his second term as Mayor had expired he became associated with the Stanley Grain Company of Lawrence as its Treasurer! It is now owned and conducted by George A. Stanley, whose father was the original founder of the business!

Josephine married George Selby JUNKINS on 2 Apr 1870 in Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts. George (son of Daniel JUNKINS and Louisa Hartwell WEYMOUTH) was born on 10 May 1846 in North Berwick, York, Maine; died on 12 Nov 1900 in Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts; was buried in Bellevue Cemetery, Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts.

From The Kneeland Miscellany, Compiled by Bertha J. and Frank E. Kneeland, 1914-1917.

Page 206. – Frank Elmer Kneeland, born at Searsport, Me., July 27, 1870. Married December 24, 1910, to Bertha Louise Junkins of Brooklyn by the Reverend Doctor Newell Dwight Hillis, Pastor of Plymouth Church, in the parlor of his home at 23 Monroe Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. For eleven years preceding and six months succeeding her marriage, she was the teacher of Latin and Greek at the Berkeley Institute, 183 (181-3-5) Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, N.Y. Her parents were George Selby and Josephine (McDuffee) Junkins – (her mother was named Mary Josephine) –, born 10, 1846 and February 12, 1848, at South Berwick, Maine, and Rochester, New Hampshire, respectively. [...]
 Mr. and Mrs. Junkins’s eldest child, Bertha Louise, had taken the degree of A.B. at Boston University with the class of 1898 and that of A.M. at Radcliffe in 1899, in September of which year she assumed her duties as one of the Faculty of The Berkeley Institute and became on the the occupants of a table for four in what is now known as “The Victoria” at 42-44 Seventh Avenue, Brooklyn — which last is only some three miles removed from the north’east corner of the Manhattan tower of the old Brooklyn Bridge!

Frank E. and Bertha (Junkins) Kneeland have two children:
 (1) Helen Elizabeth Crockett Kneekland – (except for birth certificate purposes the “Elizabeth” has been dropped) –, born at the Prospect Heights Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Washington Ave. and ST. John’s Place) – on December 24, 1911, her mother having been attended byr DR. J.P. Pendelton, 90 Sixth Ave., Broklyn. As I write this (3/12/17) she is scurrying around “The Hill” in Searsport, dragging a sled made for Hal by her Great-Grandfather Crockett and with “Don” as her companion!
 (2) Frances Hichborn Kneeland, born June 20, 1916, at the Methodist Episcopal – (“Seney”) – Hospital, Seventh Ave. and Seventh street, Brooklyn, N.Y., where her mother was attented by Dr. Harold Bell of President Street, Brooklyn, acting for Dr. Louis M. Dusseldorf, 392 Union St., Brooklyn the family physician who had recently lost his right hand in an automobile accident.
 Before she was two weeks old the Infantile Paralysis Epidemic of 1916, in which there were something like 10,000 cases and 2500 deaths in the City of New York alone, had gained full headway in Brooklyn, its place of origin, whence her father, upon learning from Dr. Bailey Sunday evening that seventeen cases had that day been taken from a few blocks in Union Street, had fled the next day, Monday, July 3rd, to Maine with her sister Helen, leaving her and her mother to be brought home from the hospital the next day by “Grammie” Shaw (Mrs. Florence C., the wife of the Rev. Edward B. Shaw of Monroe, N.Y.)–, and on which “Flight into Egypt” he was followed by her and her mother just two weeks later – they arrived at Searsport on July 19th and they’re there yet! She is now (3/12/17) busily, and noisily, engaged in cutting some teeth, two of which are already in evidence! The “Frances” is as near as she could come to being named for her “Daddy” and the “Hichborn” was the middle name of both her Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother Kneeland, on whom it had been bestowed in respect to that Hon. Robert Hichborn of the “Boston Tea Party” who had brougth her Great-Great-Grandfather Edward Kneeland to Cape Jellison from Boston when the American Republic was so young that its Constitution had not yet been adopted nor Washington elected President! — and but for whom our particular branch of the Kneeland family probably never would have landed in Maine! Perhaps they wouldn’t have landed anywhere! Quien sabe?
 A propos of names: – Her elder sister was first called “Helen Elizabeth” but when, upon attaining to the age of about four weeks, she frowned upon her “Daddy” so migthily that he remarked that “she looks just like her Great-Grandfather Crockett!”, her mother seized upon the incident as a good and sufficient reason for making her middle name “Crockett”! I tried to have the name changed in the Brooklyn office of the Registrar of Births for New York but was told that this could not be done — that in the event she should ever wish to obtain a birth certificate, she shoud ask to have it issued in the name of Helen Elizabeth Crockett Kneeland. This curcumstance is set down here – (I forgot to write it under her own name) – for her information in the event that she should need it when her father and mother have “gone away from here”! I may also remark that the “Helen” is for her Aunt Helen MacDuffee (Junkins) Beach, who “improved” on her mother’s spelling of her maiden name by adding an “a“ to it!

Barbara graduated from Carnegie Tech. (1927, 1928?). She resided in Alexandria, Virginia about 1935.

Barbara Skinner was the private secretary to Lowell Mellet when he was administrative assistant to President Roosevelt. With her husband Max Mandellaub, a State Department employee, she went to Germany where she was Chief of Archives and later acting secretary general to the United States military tribunals in Nuremberg. In 1950 she was appointed special representative to the United States High Commissioner for Germany, John J. McCloy.

She has been chief of the Nuremberg Trials Court Archives from 21 February 1947 to 15 November 1949 [Source]. She married Max Mandellaub, who was also listed in the Nuremberg Military Tribunals’ Personnel in January 1948 :

Garnier Coignet neemt de inventarisatielijst van Barbara Skinner Mandellaub (vertegenwoordiger van de Hoge Commissaris van de U.S.A. in Duitsland) in ontvangst, Den Haag 8 mei 1950.

From Nazi Medicine and the Nuremberg Trials, by Paul Julian Weindling (p. 160): “[...] The mounting piles of documents necessitated establishing procedures for their consultation so that nothing shoud go astray and alos to prevent deliberate destruction of evidence. The IMT prosecution had in fact lost the one surviving copy of the vital Wannsee Conference minutes (it was rediscovered in March 1947). Fortunately, all trial documents had been duplicated en masse. The defence was provided with a reading room. A small industry supported translation and duplication of the documents.
 The Court established an archive on 21 February 1947, keeping track of original documents under conditions of high security. The archivist, Barbara Skinner Mandelaub, serviced the prosecution and defence, maintaining a definitive set of trial transcripts. The staff was subject to a rigorous efficiency rating to maintain output and quality of work. A requirement for an archives assistant was meticulous presentation and order, as These elements a of importance in prepration or records such as indexing, cataloguing and classifying of material which is to be of permanent value for legal an historical reference for generations to come. Mandelaub increased the security and made sure that only archives staff retrieved or filed records, and the archives issued certified copies rather than originals so that nothing could be lost or destroyed. The Trial Documents achieved what amounted to sacrosanct status, once they had gone through the stages of authentication and been presented to the Court, where their authenticity could be challenged.

From “Marblehead Community” — December 14, 2000.

Marblehead man not afraid to make waves at sea
By Stephen Decatur, Special to the reporter

 We who live in Marblehead are fortunate to be surrounded by a fascinating universe. But never mind the harbor, the boats, the wonderful architecture and the myriad other things: one of the most important aspects of this town is its people.
Today we meet a man who has demonstrated a wide range of talents: captain of the world’s largest sailing yacht (though it had no masts at the time), friend of one of this country’s great black artists, governor of the island of Guam, resident of Paris every summer, and owner of a good measure of social conscience.
 Carlton Skinner is our man. Born in California and educated at a venerable New England prep school, he now resides in Marblehead. After college he went to work for the Wall Street Journal. Later he almost joined the Republicans in Spain fighting the fascists during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. He decided against it, however, because he disapproved of the behavior of the Communists who had infiltrated the anti-fascist forces allied against Franco. Then along came the beginnings of World War II.
 As a sailor and boat racer, Skinner’s preference was the Navy or Coast Guard. He was commissioned a lieutenant, junior grade, in the Coast Guard Reserve and ordered to sea as executive officer aboard the cutter “Northland”. Just several months before the Pearl Harbor attack, the “Northland” landed a shore party on the coast of Greenland. Young Lt. Skinner was in command.
 It seems the Nazis had set up a weather station there. We were not at war with Germany at the time, of course, but the United States had very friendly and “cordial” relations with the Danish government in exile. (Denmark had been overrun by the Germans in 1940.) The weather station was captured and put out of operation with no shots fired or casualties.
 Thus ended what could be considered the first land action by U.S. forces in the coming war, although technically we were still at peace. America had by this time become extremely pro-British and extremely anti-German, even to the extent of our warships protecting Britain-bound convoys. In fact, we had several skirmishes with U-boats, including a most serious one when one of our destroyers was actually sunk.
 After a short stint as commander of an LST landing craft, Skinner became captain of the USS Sea Cloud. She was (and still is) an interesting ship, indeed. Officially a U.S. Navy ship, she was manned by the U.S. Coast Guard. Sea Cloud was owned by the cereal heiress Marjorie Post Hutton Davies and her husband, Joseph Davies, the ambassador to the Soviet Union and later to Belgium.
 The ship was the largest privately owned sailing yacht in the world. Built in Germany as a four-masted bark, she’s 316 feet long and displaces 3,600 tons. (She is still active to this day as a cruise ship in the Mediterranean.) Sea Cloud’s masts had been removed, only enough remaining for radio and communication purposes. Armaments were two 3-inch guns, depth charges and a slew of antiaircraft weapons. Her duties were weather and anti-submarine patrols between Greenland, Iceland and Bermuda, with home ports in Boston or Newfoundland.
 USS Sea Cloud was decommissioned out of the service in late 1944. The Navy fixed her up somewhat and returned the ship to Mrs. Davies, along with $750,000 to complete the restoration. The U.S. government had paid $1 per year to use the ship in the first place.
 After the war Sea Cloud passed through several owners, one of whom was Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican Republic. When he was assassinated in 1964 she was resold to a consortium which eventually converted her to a cruise ship.
 Long before boarding the Sea Cloud, Skinner had become aware of the terrible waste of manpower and talent in the Coast Guard and Navy. While aboard any ship at sea, African-American seamen were relegated to being stewards waiting upon white officers, or were mess mates or cooks. This was true no matter what a man’s potential and abilities were.
 Not only that, but the unfairness of it all bothered Skinner, now a lieutenant commander. Skinner wrote to many higher-ups in Washington and finally was allowed to experiment with some of his black crew. Men were at last allowed to study and to achieve ratings such as machinist’s mates, quartermasters, gunner’s mates, or whatever their bent may have been.
 Along the way this would mean a further integration between the black and white crews aboard ship. Skinner had “found the artificial distinction between race and color can disappear,” he said.
 One of the stewards aboard Sea Cloud was Jacob Lawrence. Skinner learned immediately that Lawrence was one of America’s great “social realist” painters. Born in 1917 in Harlem, he had already become famous with his narrative and thematic series of paintings telling of the black experience. Using representational imagery and brilliant colors, his works are reminiscent of the mural and wall paintings so popular in the 1930s. Lawrence is particularly noted for his monumental 41 paintings titled “The Migration Series” of 1940-41. Another series portrayed the lives of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass.
 In keeping with Skinner’s plans to integrate his crew, Lawrence was put to painting the wartime activities of the Coast Guard. Those works served a valuable function in bringing the war to the American public. Many still survive today in museums and private collections.
 Lawrence painted only two portraits. One is of Carlton Skinner and is now at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Incidentally, Jacob Lawrence died this past June at age 82. His memorial service at the Riverside Church in New York City was attended by 2,500 people.
 So it was that the Navy and Coast Guard fully integrated their ships by 1945, due in major part to Carlton Skinner’s efforts. As a result of his leadership, Skinner was asked to be the first post-war governor of the island of Guam in the Pacific.
 Guam had at that time about 30,000 indigenous people, along with thousands of temporary American civilian and military personnel. Guam was a major wartime base in the Pacific during the war. Few problems arose during Skinner’s leadership of the transition from a military to a civil government between 1949 and 1953.
 After that, Skinner worked in the shipping business and for corporations in the eastern United States. Now retired, he appears still to have a lot of salt in his veins. These days he regularly enjoys the best of two worlds: he and his wife divide their time between Paris in the summers and Marblehead the rest of the year.

This is one of a series of occasional articles about Marblehead people, past and present, and their relationship with the sea.

In June 1943 Lieutenant Commander Carlton Skinner’s proposal that the U.S. Coast Guard establish an entirely integrated force eventually led to the commissioning of the first integrated ship in the armed forces, the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Sea Cloud. Skinner commanded a 200-man crew that included 4 African-American officers and 100 black enlisted men. Decommissioned in November 1944, this ship’s crew helped break down military segregation at sea.
After World War II, he was a public relations officer in the Department of Interior, and was selected by the Interior Department, nominated by the Navy Department and then appointed by the President to serve as Guam’s first civilian Governor. He took the oath of office on September 17, 1949. (Picture1, Picture2 taken during the 50 years celebration).

Belvedere Man Is Appointed to Tourist Commission By Brown
 Cartlon Skinner, of Belvedere, was named today by Governor Edmund G. Brown as chairman of the Tourism and Visitor Services Commision. The Commission, which was created by the 1964 Legislature, has a total of 15 members. Skinner was named as a general public representative to the Commission. The appointment requires Senate confirmation.
 “Carlton Skinner, a man of international reputation, is highly qualified for this new post.” the Governor said. “I am proud that the State of California can attract men of his talent, knowledge and ability as our new tourism and visitor services program begins to move into high gear. With an agressive and imaginative program we can help attract new tourist spending in our state and new tourist industries that can provide a major stimulus fo our state economy.”
 A graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles, Skinner presently heads Skinner and Company, a management consultant firm in San Francisco. He was director of the Virgin Islands Corporation and was formerly employed by the United States Maritime Commision. Skinner is a former trustee of the United Seaman’s Service.
 A former governor of Guam (1949-1953), Skinner was appointed by the late President Kennedy as senior commissioner for the United States on the South Pacific Commission. This Commission is responsible for non-selfgoverning territories in the Pacific. He was formerly executive assistant to the President of the American President Lines, and was vice president of the Fairbanks-Whitney Corporation. (source : Sausalito News, 23 Februray 1966)

Nauru Appoints Honorary Consul
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An airline official has been named honorary consul to the United States by one of the smallest independant nations in the world – Nauru. The government of the South Pacific island Monday named Carlton Skinner, 57, as its consul in San Francisco. Skinner is board chairman here of Air Micronesia and the title was given him as a courtesy. Nauru is 1,300 miles north-east of Australia, measures eight miles square, has a population of 7,000 and is rich in phosphates. (source : Charleston Daily Mail, Tuedsay, December 7, 1971).

Girl Nearly Hit By Train In Tiburon
 What might have been a tragic accident at an unauthorized crossing on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad tracks near Tiburon Reed School resulted in minor bruises Friday when a 10-year-old student at the school tripped as she crossed the tracks, apparently unaware that a freight train was bearing down on her. Andrea Skinner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Skinner of Edgewater road in the lagoon area of Belvedere, was pushing her bicycle across the forbidden crossing toward the school when she tripped and fell. She had enough presence of mind to roll away from the rails as the train bore down on her, completely demolishing her bike, reported Belvedere Police Chief Etogene Meyer. As soon as the train could be stopped, the crew rushed back to the spot but the youngster had vanished. “In this case, we were lucky,” Meyer reported. “We know that many youngsters have been walking across this unauthorized spot rather than take a longer, safer way to school.” Meyer joined with Reed School Principal Lloyd R. O”Connor in appealing for the help of parents in forbidding children to cross the railroad tracks avospt at authorized crossings. (Source: Daily Independant Journal from San Rafael, California.
