Clara Evelyn Coe - 1887 - page 17 of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe's photograph album

-

 


The fifteenth photo in the album is Clara Evelyn Coe, daughter of Ezra Frank Coe, niece of Elizabeth Ann Coe. 

Clara Evelyn Coe was born on 30 December 1886 in Hiawatha, Brown County, Kansas, the daughter of Ezra Frank Coe (1853-1942) and Sarah Frances Ward (1856-1942). 

She married Ward Coe Bryant (1881-1975), son of Frank E. Bryant (1858-1944) and Eva S. Coe (1860-1949) on 30 August 1906 at the home of her grandparents Albert Coe and Deborah Prentice in Le Roy, Genesee County, New York. Clara Evelyn Coe and her husband were third cousins, sharing Jesse Coe (1769-1843) and Olive Roberts (1880-1854) as their great great grandparents.

Clara Evelyn Coe and her husband Ward Coe Bryant had four children: Frank Ruddy (1907-1934), Charles Warren (1909-1960), Frederick Ward (1913-1991) and Janet Elizabeth (1921-2006). The Bryant family settled in Greenfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts by 1909, where Ward Coe Bryant was an osteopathic physician. 

Clara Evelyn Coe died on 16 October 1972 in Greenfield. Her husband died there on 28 July 1975.





The back of the photograph identifies it as Clara Evelyn Coe, aged 8 months. Since Clara was born on 30 December 1886, the photograph was probably taken in August of September 1887. 

At the time, Ezra Frank Coe and his family were living in Hiawatha, Brown County, Kansas at the time. Newspaper articles mention the arrival of Carrie Evelyn and Clara Addie Coe, Ezra younger sisters, in Hiawatha on September 15.

There is no information about the photographer on the photograph, so no information about where it was taken. It is likely the photograph was taken in Hiawatha or somehwere nearby. There was no mention in the local papers has been found of Ezra Coe and family traveling in August or September 1887.

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
