Marriage - The Calls 1896 - 1915 - 1934

-

 We were married Nov. 5, 1884 at home. Nearly one hundred of our relatives and nearest friends were present. Mr. Byron Sherwood and Mr. Hiram Horton, with Aunts Clara and Carrie, “stood up “ with us.

After we took a week’s trip stopping at Albany where we saw Governor Cleveland who was elected President Nov. 4. We admired the beautiful white marble Capitol. As we passed along the street the cannons fired in honor of Cleveland’s election. A nice looking gentleman stood tying his horse which jumped at the noise. Her master said “Never mind, Jennie, it’s for Cleveland” It made us smile, he was so pleased. We visited Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and spent a short time with my schoolmate and friend Mrs. Milton Covelle, a Baptist Minister’s wife at White Plains. We saw the battle field from my friend’s dining room widow, and passed the plain old house that was once Washington’s Headquarters.

Papa taught school again that winter at “Jug City.” We went to house keeping in the Spring. Grandpa had a new dining room built, and that house was very comfortable and pleasant.

   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.

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
