Photos from Stafford, New York - Christmas 1916, family photos - pages 50-51

-

  I'm very lucky to have several of my grandmother Evelyn Clara Call's (1895-1962) photo albums. And perhaps even luckier that she labeled many of the photos - so I know roughly when and where they were taken, and who was in the photos. 

My grandmother attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1915-1916, and then Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from 1916-1919.

Photos on pages 50 and 51 appear to have been taken at or near the Call family home in Stafford, New York

Christmas Dinner (1916)
Irving  Floyd Laura Albert   James   Evelyn

Based on the names Evelyn listed in the photo album - my guess is the Call family had Christmas dinner with the Walkely family of Le Roy and the Coe family of Pavilion. Elizabeth Ann Coe's (Evelyn's mother) younger sister Carrie Evelyn married Frank Lincoln Walkley. Ezra Frank Coe (Elizabeth's brother) married Sarah Frances Ward

This appears to be the table with all the unmarried cousins as of 1916

Irving - Irving Joslyn Call (1900-1995) - son of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe
Floyd - Floyd Frank Walkley (1900-1981) - son of Frank Lincoln Walkley and Carrie Evelyn Coe
Laura - Laura Frances Coe (1901-1964) - daughter of Ezra Frank Coe and Sarah Frances Ward
Albert - Albert Coe Walkley (1896-1983) -  son of Frank Lincoln Walkley and Carrie Evelyn Coe
James - James Henry Walkley (1903-1985) - Frank Lincoln Walkley and Carrie Evelyn Coe
Evelyn - Evelyn Clara Call (1895-1962) - daughter of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe 
Male at the rear on the right side of the table could be Fred Rosaman Walkley (1895-1981) - son of Frank Lincoln Walkley and Carrie Evelyn Coe
Male at the front on the right side of the table is Robert Vincent Call (1892-1961) - son of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe 

And I believe that is Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939) - father of Robert, Evelyn and Irving - seen standing at the table in the next room seen through the open door

My Grandmother's Recipes - Sandwiches

Image
   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
