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

Two "Ruths"

Possibly Ruth Edna Cole, wife of Albert Henry Covell and their daughter Ruth Phyllis Covell

Ruth Phyllis Covell (1916-2013) daughter of Ruth Edna Cole (1893-1969) and Albert Henry Covell (1890-1975). Her parents were married in Le Roy, Genesee County, New York in 1915. 

Ruth Edna Cole (1893-1969) daughter of Winfield William Cole (1859-1931) and Bessie Smith (1864-1956). She married Albert Henry Covell (1890-1975) in 1915. Census records for 1900 and 1910 have the Cole family living in Le Roy

Long Line - From England to the United States - Week 3 of #52Ancestors

-

This week's prompt for  Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks project  is Long Line. I had a couple of ideas for this week and finally settled on the long line of extended Call and Joslin family members who immigrated from Devonshire to the United States between the 1830s and early 1900s.  I have to wonder if in 1851 when my great great grandparents Robert Call and Charlotte Joslin were both servants on the farm of Robert Reed in Chawleigh, Devonshire, England if they had any idea how many members of their extended families would immigrate to the United States.  As far as anyone knows, Robert and Charlotte met at the Reed farm. Within two years of the 1851 census, Robert had immigrated to the Boston, Massachusetts area. A year later, Charlotte followed and they were married in Fitchburg, Massachusetts on July 16, 1854.  1835 The first member of Robert's family to immigrate that I've identified was his maternal uncle William Paine .

Charles Joslin Call's Business Ventures in Wichita, Sedgewick County, Kansas, 1889-1895

My great grandfather, Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939), lived in Stafford, Genesee County, New York for most of his life, except for a few years when he and his family lived in Wichita, Sedgewick County, Kansas. I’ve always been curious about the family’s Kansas years, since my grandmother, Evelyn Clara Call (1895-1962) was one of four children born to Charles and his wife Elizabeth Ann Coe (1862-1956) in Wichita. Like many other families, the Call family went west in search of greater economic opportunities. According to Elizabeth, “In the Spring of ’89 Papa [Charles] went West to find a business to engage in. He went to Denver where Uncle Frank and Aunt Sarah were, but decided to go to Wichita and locate. We were very happy there, but business did not pay. We went Apr. 17, 1889, arriving the 19”. 1 Charles’s first business venture in Wichita was with the Wichita Steam Pipe Covering company. On 6 April 1889, C.J. Call of Stafford, New York was listed in a newspaper article as one of...

So Far Away - Christmas Day 1887, Somewhere on the Atlantic - Week 5 of #52Ancestors

-
Image
I can't imagine what Christmas Day was like for my great-grandfather Wilhelm Friedrich Georg Schickler in 1887. What I do know is that he was 14 years old. His parents were dead.  He was on the ship Rotterdam a day out of the port of New York. And that he was traveling alone to a new life. Was he thinking of his family so far away in Stuttgart? Was he wondering how his younger brother Georg - his only living sibling - left behind in Stuttgart with their grandparents was doing? Was he remembering his father and five siblings who had died in recent years? Was he thinking about his mother who had died just a month ago on November 24? Or did he see the Statue of Liberty as his ship arrived? Was he looking forward to a new life with his mother's sister and her husband? Wilhelm was born on November 6, 1873 in Ludwigsburg, Wurttemberg, Germany, the son of Gottlieb Wilhelm Schickler (1848-1885) and Marie Frederike Haufler (1846-1887). He was baptized on November 23 1873. His pa...
