September & October 1939 from The Calls 1935-1943

-

 Sat Sept 2.  Clara had a dinner at the Robinwood, for her relatives, including nieces and nephews. 

Wed 13. Harry Hunt and helper came to shingle house. Charles had half of it done a few years ago. These replace the original shingles put on when the house was built in 1875. 

Sept 20-23. Eileen went back to Cornell by train, on Wed. Lucille took Marie and Elizabeth on Thurs. 

Wed 27. Irving and his colored man, Sellers, put up the big mahogany doors in the living room. The doors had been up in the barn since war time, 1917, when fuel was scarce and high, and conservation and of patriotism. We burned gas that winter and had trouble to keep warm. It was quite a job to clean and restore (partly) them. 

Sept 30. Edith culling hens, cleaning hen houses, nests, etc., ready to take care of the poultry.

Oct 26. "Carrie called, while Frank went to see Mr Matthews, who is in poor health. Carrie says Mrs Keitel once said if Thelma wasn't good to us she'd "wring her neck." I picked some chrysanthemums for Carrie and Frank said "Always carrying something home!" Frank recalled that once when they had bees Carrie said she would give me some honey. She failed to get it and as we were going, I said "Good by hone!" I got the honey. 

Fri 27. Edith had a Teacher's meeting in Buffalo, and we visited E.F. and Sarah, and after lunch and dinner, good-ones - and a nice visit we visited Arthur's folks until Sunday afternoon. Edith Adelle was home from Brockport. R.O. cam home (from Fort Niagara, I think) "At night he dressed in his band costume" to play at a dance, "and looked very fine. His young lady friend was in, - a nice looking gir. i think Helen is handsome, Jerry is a little beauty, jolly, smiling and dimpled."

Tues 31. "Edith had a Hallow'een party for her school children. They appeared to have a grand time."

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...
