Family Connections - August 27 1901

-
Every now and then I find a mention in a newspaper that shows how closely the Call and Joslin families maintained ties over the years and across the miles. 

On Aug 27 1901, there was a brief article on page 4 about Departure of Guests - if you know who is who - it's fascinating to see who was visiting Robert & Charlotte Call & family that month. 


Mrs Sara Joslin and son George of Wisconsin - are Sarah Adams (1852-1925) wife of Samuel Joslin (1840-1913) and her son George Joslin (1882-1967). Samuel Joslin was a younger brother of Charlotte Joslin (1834-1908), wife of Robert Call (1831-1913). Although not clear from this mention, an article earlier in the month stated the Joslins were visiting at Robert Call's

Mr and Mrs Alfred Jones of Chelsea, Mass - are Alfred Edward Jones (1863-1931) and Martha P.M. Walker (1863-1962). Alfred was the son William Jones (1820-1894) and Ann Joslin (1836-1917), sister of Charlotte Joslin. Alfred and Martha were married on November 21, 1900 in Boston. 

Mr and Mrs Fred Call of Chicago - are Frederick R Call (1865-1926) and Blanche Lee Plew (1877-1920). Frederick was the son of John Paine Call (1817-1895) and Jane Goddard (1823-1879). John Paine Call was Robert Call's older brother. 

Miss Julia Head of Michigan - is Julia Ann Call (1852-1944), daughter of John Paine Call. In 1901, she was the widow of Albert Head (about 1850 - before 1900). She would  marry Andrew Friant (1830-1918) between 1904 and 1907. 

Miss Rose Call - is Rose B. Call (about 1861 - 1939) daughter of John Paine Call. 

Mr and Mrs Walter Daniels - are Elizabeth Alberta Call (1862-1929), daughter of Robert Call and Charlotte Joslin and her husband Walter Scott Daniels (1863-1918)


What I found interesting is the combination of people visiting. The Joslins of Wisconsin didn't visit as often as the Joslins of Chelsea (family of Charlotte's older brother William). The Jones family is rarely mentioned as visting - this is the first time I've found mention of Alfred visiting. And this is the first time I've seen mention of any, much less three, of John Paine Call's children visiting Robert Call and his family members.

My Grandmother's Recipes - Sandwiches

   I recently received a set of recipe cards from a cousin that were written by out grandmother Evelyn Clara (Call) Hankins, probably between 1920 (when she married) and 1962 (when she died). My grandmother was born in Wichita, Sedgewick, Kansas in 1895. Within a few months of her birth, the family moved back to Stafford, Genesee County, New York where her parents, Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939) and Elizabeth Ann Coe (1862-1956) were born. Evelyn lived in Stafford on the family farm until she left for college, first at Northwestern University in Chicago and then at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She graduated from Cornell in 1919 with a degree in Home Economics. After graduating, she worked for a year at Wells College in Aurora, Cayuga, New York, possibly as the Superintendent of a Dormitory, as a housekeeper or as a teacher. She married my grandfather, Francis William Hankins (1897-1963) in 1920 at her parents home in Stafford. Beginning in the 1930s, my grandmother ran the

Adding a Citation to a Document using Photoshop Elements 2023

This is the first is an occasional series of blog posts on using Photoshop Elements 2023 for genealogists. Many of my genealogist friends know I'm also a photographer, so have asked me how I do some things with genealogy-related images. The problem is - I use Photoshop and Lightroom - which are probably overkill for most genealogists, and are a subscription-based package. I used to recommend Irfanview (and still do for some things) but I was finding it hard to do some of what I do in Photoshop in Irfanview.  So enter Photoshop Elements 2023 - it has more features than Irfanview but isn't as user-hostile as Photoshop can be. And it's available for purchase as a stand-alone package - no monthly subscription fees! If you want to buy a copy of Photoshop Elements 2023 - I suggest purchasing it through Amazon using the affiliate link for Cyndi's List. I use Photoshop Elements on a Windows computer so my instructions are for the Windows version. Mac version may be slightly dif
