One refers to ancestors with the name HULL dating as far back as 1630. The other refers to the name ROOT dating as far back as 1774. I also have a 44 page booklet about the ACHESON family. My blogs include genealogy, photographs (CDV and tintype), useful resources, etc. Inspiration and a little humor. Also, links to worthy causes. A new work-in-progress, so a lot more to add.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger118125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681826644966200320.post-51279537165503935822015-05-27T15:40:00.000-07:002015-05-27T17:20:28.751-07:00Wordless Wednesday ~ Autographs<br />

Here is a copy of a request from him in August 2013. Maybe one of you know something about the Inistioge Cemetery, Ontario, Canada or the Morrow family.<br />
It's a longshot but I'm amazed at what happens on the net! <br />

<i>Hi, my name is Melvin J.Morrow, my gggrandfather is in the Inistioge Cemetery. I visited there about 10 years ago. He was killed in a farming accident in 1860. I was concerned with the condition of his headstone. I saw a picture of it today on the internet that was taken in 2009 and it actually looks better than when I was there. If it is still legible I would appreciate some one dropping me a line. My
email is:<strong> melandmarsha@live.com. Thanks,
Mel</strong>

My paternal grandmother's maiden name was MILLER and her mother's maiden name was BEEGHLY. I know that some of my ancestors lived in or near Atchison, Kansas. My Grandmother's parents lived in Sabetha, which is about 56 miles Northeast of Atchison. The family eventually moved to Beattie, Marshall County, Kansas where my father was born.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately not one of the 28 antique photos has a name. The only clues are the names and locations of the photographers. Six of the 28 have photographers names and addresses.<br />

I have used "Roger Vaughan's Personal Collection - Date an Old Photograph," (click on link) <a href="http://www.rogerco.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/date/main.htm" target="_blank">Roger Vaughan's Personal Collection</a>. I checked several dates 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1890. I have decided that 1880 is the closest according to the photos of the women's dresses.<br />
<br />
My lady has a fitted top with buttons down the front, ruffled trim and matching skirt with a ruffle just below the knees. Her outfit has a light ruffled collar and cuffs. Her toes are just visible.<br />
<br />
I have not researched the man's clothes, however, he had a bow tie, a double breasted vest, a jacket with a very wide collar and boots. The photographer's chair is upholstered with a long fringe around it and has curved wooden legs.<br />
<br />
The back "verso" of the photograph is a miniature work of art. A pink background with a camera, a drape and an artist's palette; below a shield with a banner including the names RAGAN and MUNN. The banner is over a smiling sun with one eye showing. My interpretation: SMILE for the camera! Two little angels holding a banner "PHOTOGRAPHERS." Location: 317 Com. Street, ATCHISON, KAN. Negatives preserved. Copies can be had at any time.<br />

NOTE: I have edited (lightened) the photo and have been able to just barely read the inscription above.<br />
This year, 2012, the headstone would be 174 years old.
D. S. told me that he made a trip to the old section of the Maple Grove Cemetery to take as many photos of the Hull family that he could find. On the lower right of the photo there appears to be another headstone beside it.

Here's my story:<br />
<br />

This quilt was made by my paternal grandmother, Ada May (Miller) Gates. Ada made it for her only sister-in-law, Gertie. Ada and Gertie had married two brothers, they had no other siblings. The centre patch is stitched "Mom Mother 1930" and the red patches in the circle have the names of all of Gertie's twelve children. Grandmother Ada made several quilts, probably numbering in the 30's. Some were tucked away (like the one above) and are still treasured today, others were used until they were worn and thread bare. That's what happened to the one given to my parents, it was a bright sunny yellow. As a child I remember sleeping under it; as a mom, my two daughters played with it.<br />
<br />
<b> Now about Find a Grave:</b><br />
<b> </b>I became a member in September 2009, posted a few of my ancestors from the late 1800's and early 1900's. Now I have posted 58 myself and I have had 109 transferred to my care. Although I thought it was interesting, I just didn't realize the value of it as a resource and research tool.<br />
<br />
Eventually I found that there were some of my relatives that had been posted by other members from various burial records. Some members have added thousands. For instance I found a woman that told me she had transcribed a cemetery record from a library which included my relatives. She willingly transferred them to me, pleased that they had been claimed by someone who was related.<br />
<br />
<b>Now about that quilt:</b>:<br />
It seems like the perfect analogy for what I have accomplished at Find a Grave.
My previous was post about Nancy Frances (Gates) and Ephriam Duke Eslinger. Not only was I interested in her adopting children at the age of about 75, she was also the step-mother to Ephriam's six children. I wondered who their mother was.
From my handwritten Family Tree, I knew about the six step-children and I knew there were two cemeteries, Burns and Osborn, where the Gates and Eslinger relatives were buried.<br />
<br />
So I went to each cemetery on Find a Grave and searched both those surnames. Ephriam and Nancy are buried together in the Osborn Cemetery. They are the only two with that surname. Then I checked the Burns Cemetery and found three Eslinger family members.<br />
<br />
Based on the inscriptions, I could see that there were two women who died about 10 years apart. Hannah died 1862, and Mary Ann died 1871, each about the age of 44 years, both the "Wife of E. D. Eslinger." Mary Jane was already identified and linked to Ephriam Duke Eslinger as his wife. Now I assumed that Hannah, who had died even earlier, was also his wife according to the inscription "Wife of E. D. Eslinger."<br />
<br />
Finally, there was a little boy, 2 years old, as the only other Eslinger in that cemetery. Hannah, and the little boy both died in 1862. Further information from the Member that had originally posted these burials from the Cemetery Book, concludes that all three of these Eslinger family members are recorded together and inscribed on the same headstone.<br />
<br />
So I'm pleased to say that I have linked and "stitched together" this family from so long ago. As well, I have linked together a handful of other families in the same way over the past year.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend Find a Grave as a resource tool. <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/">Visit Find A Grave Here</a>

Nancy Frances (Gates) Eslinger is my paternal third great aunt. My first source of information on Nancy is from a handwritten Gates Family Tree given to my mother in 1986. It was researched and compiled by my father's first cousin. They were both born in Kansas and emigrated to Canada with their parenst in the early 1900's.<br />

Nancy Frances Gates<br />
Born November 17, 1829, Candor, Tioga County, New York.<br />
Died November 14, 1913, Fort Dodge, Webster County, Iowa, aged 83 years, 11 months, 17 days.<br />
<br />
Nancy was married in 1873 to ~
Ephriam Duke Eslinger (a widower with 6 children)<br />
Born June 2, 1885.
Died September 22, 1889, aged 64 years, 8 months, 20 days. <br />
Ephriam and Nancy are buried beside each other in Osborn Cemetery, 2 miles North of Lovilia, Iowa.<br />
<br />
Nancy and Ephriam were married 2 years after his first wife Mary Jane had died.
In about 1904, Nettie was adopted by Nancy (GATES) ESLINGER.
Nancy was a widow at the time and would have been about 75 years old. Her husband Ephriam had died in 1889, 17 years earlier. Probably because of Nancy's own age she referred to herself as Nettie's grandmother instead of her mother.<br />
<br />
I was interested in Nancy due to the fact that she had adopted children as a widow and at the late of about 75 years. The child was thought to have been abandoned. This information is included in the handwritten Family Tree, as well as Nancy's Obituary, dated November 20, 1913.
<br />
<blockquote>
EXCERPT: OBITUARY Lovillia Press, November 20, 1913 :
<br />
She leaves two brothers, Levi GATES of Ottumwa and Edward GATES of Flagler, Colorado, also D. W. Masters, who was received into the home when ten years of age and who now lives on the old farm, and Nettie, who was received into the home when about seven years of age. To these hearts she was a true loving mother, their feelings that they indeed had a mother in the fullest sense.</blockquote>

She was was married to Oliver Uriah GATES (1802-1882 aged 80).
Catherine was the daughter of Freelove KELSEY (1758-1841 aged 83) and Samuel HULL I (1755-1840 aged 85).<br />
<br />
Freelove and Samuel had twelve children: Jonas, James, Samuel II, Lebbeus, Russell, Electa, Hubbard, Phoebe, Curtis, <b>Catherine</b>, Alanson and Hannah. The eld3est child was born in 1782, the youngest in 1804, a span of twenty-two years. Their mother, Freelove KELSEY, would have been age 24 when her first child Jonas was born and age 46 years when her youngest child, Hannah, was born. Freelove died in 1841, at the age of 83 years. Quite amazing for that era.<br />
<br />
Although I have not been able to find a photo of Catherine's tombstone, I know that she is buried at the Burns Cemetery, Center Township, Ottumwa, Iowa - Eddyville Road, two miles West of Ottumwa. (SOURCE: Handwritten GATES and HULL Family Tree; 1984, updated 1986.)<br />
<br />
However, I do have photos of some of her siblings. Today I have posted the tombstone of her eldest brother, Jonas HULL. Jonas was eighteen years older than his sister Catherine.<br />
<br />
Jonas was born 20 April 1782, Killingworth, New Haven, Connecticut; he died 14 October 1854 aged 72, Candor, Tioga County, New York. Jonas married Charlotte (maiden name unknown). <br />

<i><u><b>THE HULL FAMILY IN AMERICA </b></u></i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i><b>INTRODUCTION: </b></i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
The Hull Family in America has three main divisions: George Hull and his descendants; his brother, the Reverend Joseph Hull and his descendants; and Richard Hull and his descendants. George and Joseph were sons of Thomas and Joane Pescn Hull, of Somersetshire, England, the earliest known ancestors of the tribe. George was about five years older than Joseph and came to this country five years earlier, in 1630. The relationship of Richard Hull to them, if there is any, is not known. . . . </blockquote>

<i><b>The Descendants of George Hull </b></i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>#1. George Hull, 1590-1659, surveyor, Indian trader, magistrate, statesman, and founder of a prominent branch of the Hull family in America</b>, the son of Thomas and Joana Peson Hull of Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England. On August 17, 1614, as shown by the original parish records of the ancient church of Crewkerne village, he was married to Thamzen (Thomasene) Michell, daughter of Robert Michell, a well-to-do yeoman of Stockland in the adjoining shire of Dorset. Stockland is about six miles distant of the village of Crewkerne at or near which the ancestral home of the Hulls was situated and it was probably included within the bounds of Crewkerne parish. </blockquote>

<b>George and Emma's tombstone epitaph:</b><br />
<b>LIFE'S WORK WELL DONE </b></div>
<br />
Well a lot of my ancestors were farmers. However, along with farming they also were instrumental in building the communities that they settled in.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Emma CLARK:</b><br />
<b>pianist and music teacher - piano and violin (1891 Census Canada - at age 17 Emma is listed as a pianist);</b><br />
<b>pioneer and settler; </b><br />
<b>Choir Director, Church organist and music director for various community functions; </b><br />
<b>Midwife - she assisted the pioneer doctor, a young 20 year old just starting his practice.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Pianist:</b><br />
In the 1891 Census Canada, at age 17 years old, she was considered to be a piniest. Emma studied music with the Conservatory of Music, Ontario.<br />
In about 1887 or 1888, Emma and George met at a music recital<b>. </b>She was the dainty, educated young pianist; he was the tall, ruggedly handsome Irish farmer, who loved to sing. Opposites attract. In 1899 they were married in Penetanguishene, Ontario, where she was born.<br />
<br />
In 1905, when they settled in their sod house on the barren prairies, her parents shipped her baby grand piano to them. Little did her parents know that the piano would give them shelter when the roof of their sod house was torn off in a tornado!<br />
<br />
In 1911, the Village of Milden was incorporated. For at least 20 years Emma was the only music teacher. She provided music lessons for the children and played the piano and organ at the Methodist/ Presbyterian United Church. She and George were also responsible for the Church choir.<br />
In 1925, silent moving pictures were introduced to Milden. They were shown for five years, until 1930, when the Depression forced the closure of the theatre. Emma played the piano for the silent movies at that time. In 1940, the movies resumed, but now they were 35 millimeter with sound.<br />
<br />
<b>Midwife:</b><br />
In 1912, the second doctor to serve the community was a young man in his early 20's. By then Emma would have been in her mid 30's. My mother told me that Emma was called upon many times to assist the young doctor with pregnancies and births. During the 1918 flu epidemic she also helped to nurse her neighbours. <br />
<br />
<b>Mother and Farm wife:</b><br />
Emma was skilled at knitting and crocheting. My Mother told me that when she or one of her six siblings lost their mittens, there was always a new pair waiting for them in the morning. They had a large garden and had their own livestock. The cold cellar was well stocked with preserves for the winter.<br />
In the 1930's, during the Depression, my Mother told me that there was always a meal for the "hobos" who travelled the rails looking for a days work. During harvesting, Emma always provided their farm hands with substantial meals.<br />
<br />
<b>George Albert JOHNSON:</b><br />
<b>farmer, carpenter, pioneer and settler;</b><br />
<b>School Board Trustee (founding Member); </b><br />
<b>Choir Director (he was an Irish tenor, his wife Emma was the pianist and organist); </b><br />
<b>Telephone Company Board Trustee (1923-1940); </b><br />
<b>President, Milden Local, Grain Growers Cooperative Association Ltd.; </b><br />
<b>well respected neighbour and friend. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Farmer and carpenter:</b><br />
My maternal grandfather, George Albert JOHNSON, only had a Grade 8 education. That was all that was available in the little community where his Irish parents settled. Of course later, after he had grown up, there was more schooling available for his eight younger siblings. Like his Irish parents, he was a farmer and a carpenter. His paternal grandparents emigrated from Ireland in 1839; his maternal grandparents in 1850. both his father and mother were born in Ontario.<br />
<br />
In about 1897 or 1898, George left his parent's farm. He was married to Emma CLARK in 1899, in Penetanguishene, Ontario. <br />
<br />
<b>Labourer:</b><br />
In 1900, at the age of 25 years, he worked on the Locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.<br />
<br />
<b>Carpenter and Labourer:</b><br />
In 1903, he and his wife Emma (CLARK) moved West to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he worked as a carpenter. My mother thought that he also worked on laying the grade for the railroad as it was built Westward across Canada.<br />
<br />
<b>Pioneer and Settler:</b><br />
In 1905, George and Emma with their first two children, traveled further West to Saskatchewan. I'm not sure how far the train would have taken them, but the end of their journey would have been by a settler's wagon to what would become the farming community of Milden, Saskatchewan. The Canadian Government was giving land to the early settlers. The condition being that they worked the land for three years, then they could pay the $10.00 fee to register their land in their own name. In 1908, after living in a sod house for three years, George had "proved up" his quarter section.<br />
<br />
<b>Co-Founder and School Trustee: </b><br />
In 1907, his two oldest children, ages six and eight years needed to attend school. So he and a few other settlers submitted a request to the Saskatchewan Commissioner of Education to establish a school. It was approved in November 1907. George was appointed a School Trustee on the four member Board. He was appointed to travel by wagon to purchase lumber and the necessary school supplies, desks, chalkboards, etc. He served for thirteen years, from 1908 to 1921.<br />
<br />
<b>President, Grain Growers' Cooperative:</b><br />
January/February 1910, the first Local of the Grain Growers' Cooperative
Association Ltd. was formed. George was the first Wheat Pool delegate
for an annual convention to represent the Milden community. <br />
<br />
<b>Board Member, Milden Telephone Company:</b><br />
In 1915, the first telephone switchboard was installed in the town drugstore. In 1918, George JOHNSON and my uncle Edmund GATES, were elected to the six-member Board. <br />
<br />
<b>Survived 1905 Prairie Grass Fire while helping a neighbouring farmer:</b><br />
The pioneers and settlers were a close knit community, helping neighbours in their hour of need. In 1905, there was a major prairie grass fire that swept across Saskatchewan. The flames leap more than twenty feet in the air. Grandpa George had gone about a mile to help another farmer set up his fire guard. The fire overtook him and he had no choice but to run over the burnt ground to get back to his sod house where his wife, Emma, and their two small children were. Fortunately he was not badly burnt, however, his did carry some small scars on his hands and face for the rest of his life.<br />

<u> </u></div>
As much as I think that the convenience of being able to take a "library" of your favourite books with you on the mobile devices available is great, I still like to settle in with a good book and see where it takes me. A mug of a tasty drink, maybe some relaxing music in the background may make it even more enjoyable.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to give your a reading list. I just wanted to show you the new button I've added in the upper right corner. Just click the "little boy reading a book" button to go to pick up the code for your own. Enjoy your next good read.<br />

<b>The Flagler News, Thursday, January 13, 1938:<br />
<br />
Mrs. Sarah White Died Sunday Night</b><br />
<br />
Word was received late Sunday night by George Gates of the death of his sister, Mrs. Sarah White, at a Colorado Springs hospital. Mrs. White had been in failing health for the past year and was taken to the hospital there several months ago where her condition gradually grew worse.<br />
<br />
Wife of one of Flagler’s first business men, Mrs. White had made her home here since 1902 when she and Mr. White came here from Kansas. He passed away in 1931.<br />
<br />
Sarah Gates White was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, on September 4, 1859, and was 78 years of age. At an early age she moved with her parents to Robinson, Kansas, at that time nearly the frontier of <br />
civilization. <br />
<br />
On February 24, 1878, she was united in marriage with John A. White and they continued to live in Kansas until 1902 when they purchased a hardware store in Flagler, at that time a very small village. They operated the hardware store here until after Mr. White’s death <br />
when Mr. and Mrs. George Gates purchased it.<br />
<br />
Mrs. White is survived by her brother, Geo. O. Gates, of Flagler, and a sister, Mrs. Kathryn Spees of Tecumseh, Nebr., as well as two adopted daughters, Mrs. Alice Thorp of Limon, Colo., and Mrs. Myrtle Dennis of Buena Vista, Colo. Two other adopted daughters, Ruth Gates and Nellie White, preceded her in death.<br />
<br />
Mrs. White was a charter member of the Flagler chapter of Eastern Star, and a member of the Arriba Christian church.<br />
<br />
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the Congregational church, Rev. George P. Gibbs giving the funeral sermon. Interment, in charge of the Shaw Mortuary, was made in the Flagler cemetery beside her late husband.</span></div><br />
NOTES BY C. GATES 2010<br />
This Obituary was posted on 5th March 2003. I have found two email addresses for V. Louise. I have emailed both, most recently January 2011. However, all of my emails have come back "undeliverable." <br />
<br />
NOTES BY V Louise <br />
I am sure there are living descendants of the adopted children of Sarah and John WHITE. I would <br />
welcome learning more about this Gates-White family and connecting with relatives. <br />
Thank you,<br />
