February 27 Musette Appley  1874  1891
                     Elizabeth Ann Hankins   1929  8# 1 1/2 oz

John R Kellam was born 26 February 1873 in Hankins, Sullivan County, New York, son of John Ross Kellam (1830-1903) and Frances Maria Shafer (1846-1924), so was Mary Jane Kellam's older brother. He died in 1875. 


Musette Read Appley was born 27 February 1874 at Cochecton, Sullivan County, New York, the daughter of William W Appley (1847-1930) and Mary G Barlow (1849-1926). She died on 5 June 1949 in Callicoon, Sullivan County, New York. Looking at the birthday book, I expected to find an 1891 death date for Musette. According to her obituary shared at FindAGrave, Musette Read Appley, who died in 1949, was born on February 27, 1874. I think it unlikely there were two Musette Appley's born on 27 February 1874, so I don't now what the 1891 refers to.

Elizabeth Ann Hankins was born 27 February 1929 in Dunellen, Middlesex County, New Jersey, the daughter of Francis William Hankins (1897-1983) and Evelyn Clara Call (1895-1962). She was Mary Jane Kellam's only granddaughter. Elizabeth married Richard Carl Wolgast (1923-2012) son of William Carl Wolgast (1888-1980) and Helen Siefert (1893-????). on 26 June 1949. She died on 13 October 2020.

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...
