Carrie Evelyn Coe and her son Fred Rosman Walkley - 1895-1896 - page 14 of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe's photograph album

-


 


The twelfth photo in the album is of Carrie Evelyn Coe Walkely and her son Fred Rosman Walkley, Elizabeth Coe's sister and her oldest son. 

Carrie Evelyn Coe and her twin sister Clara Addie Coe were born on 10 November 1864 in Pavilion, Genesee County, New York to Albert Coe (1827-1907) and Deborah Prentice (1833-1910). 

Carrie married Frank Lincoln Walkley (1867-1961), son of Rosman L Walkley (1838-1930) and Maryetta Peck (1843-1922) on 21 June 1894 in Le Roy, Genesee County.

Carrie and her husband had five sons, Fred Rosman (1895-1981), Albert Coe (1896--1983), Clarence Willard (1898-1983), Floyd Frank (1900-1981) and James Harry (1903-1985). 

They lived in Le Roy until Carrie's death on 5 August 1948. Frank died on 13 July 1961. 

 Fred Rosman Walkley was born on 18 May 1895 in Le Roy, son of Frank Lincoln Walkley and Carrie Evelyn Coe. 

He married Marjorie Doris Aldrich (1896-1973), daughter of Clark Mason Aldrich (1875-1962) and Glennie Louis Shattuck (1875-1928) on 20 June 1918 in Castile, Wyoming County, New York. 

Fred and Marjorie had three children, Glenn Evelyn (1919-2011), Frank Aldrich (1921-2009) and Betty Jane (1923-2012). They divorced in 1953. 

Fred later married Norma Eiseman (1912-2004) daughter of George Edward Eiseman on 8 August 1953 in Perry, Wyoming County, New York. 

Fred lived in several locations as an adult. In 1917, he was teaching agriculture in Castile, Wyoming County. In 1920, he was the Assistant Manager at a Farm Bureau in Wampoville, Madison County, New York. In 1930 and 1940, he was back in Castile where he was a merchant at a farm supply store. 

Fred Rosman Walkley died on 8 April 1981 in Osceala, Florida. 





Based on Fred's age in the photograph, it was likely taken in late 1895 or early 1896, since he was born in May 1895. 

The photographer was George M. Hoffman (1867-1952), son of Wesley Hoffman (1824-1900) and Elizabeth McMartin (1824-1896). In 1900, his occupation was listed in the census as photographer. By 1910, his occupation was listed as painter.

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

-

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
