College Friends and Trip to Six Mile Creek - c 1918 - pages 108-111

-

 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. 

The photos on pages 108-110 appear to be photos of Evelyn's college friends at Cornell in 1918, including photos from a trip to Six Mile Creek in the snow. 

Page 108 has photos from a Hike up Six Mile Creek in 1918





Freak

The photo is some sort of multiple exposure - probably a double exposure from when someone forgot to advance the film after taking the first photo. 


R to L: Fisher, Dot Cushman, Evelyn, Mac, Helen Frahts, Russel, Frances

Helen Fraats - Helen Maisie Fraats (1899-1995) daughter of William Best and Lillian Y Fraats. She graduated from Cornell in 1922, and was employed as a dietician at Risley Hall in 1926 when she married Russell Philips (Cornell class of 1916). So that may be Russel Philips next to her in the photo 

Frances - based on other photos in the album - I believe this is Frances Searles - Frances Searles - Frances Elizabeth Willard Searles (1895 - 1970) daughter of Leroy Searles and Carrie Elizabeth Lyon) attended Cornell University from 1915-1918. She earned a B.S. degree.

Copley - Hayden Copley - Dewitt Hayden Copley (1895-1987) son of Charles Alexander Copley and Georgina Hayden. He served in the U.S. Army from November 26, 1917 - April 8, 1919 - so these photos may have been taken while he was in the Army. 

Bernice - from other photos in the album I believe this is Bernice Reynolds - Bernice C. Reynolds (1896-1973) graduated from Cornell in 1920 with a degree in Agriculture. She was the daughter of Charles John Reynolds and Mary Ella Wilder.

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
