Clark Daniels - c 1895 - page 33 of Charles Joslin Call and Elizabeth Ann Coe's Photo Album

-

 

The twenty-eighth photograph in the album is Charles Clark Daniels, nephew of Charles Joslin Call. 

Charles Clark Daniels was born 25 April 1892 in Stafford, Genesee County, New York, the son of Walter Scott Daniels (1863-1918) and Elizabeth Alberta Call (1862-1929). He married Charlotte Louise Armstrong (1894-1979), daughter of Obadiah E. Armstrong (1865-????) and Ola Etta (1871-????), on 23 December 1913 in Genesee County, New York. 

Clark and Charlotte had six children: 

  • Ellsworth Scott (1914-2004)
  • Clayton Bage (1917-1986)
  • Walter Armstrong (1919-1949)
  • Lois Anita (1920-1943)
  • Dorothy Rosalind (1921-1988)
  • Alwyn Emmett (1925-2007)
In 1915 and 1917, Clark listed his occupation as farmer in Stafford. In 1920, the family was living in Leicester, Livingston County, New York, where Clark listed his occupation as carpenter in a salt mine. By1925, the family was back in Stafford, where Clark once again was listed as a farmer. In 1930, the family was still in Stafford, where Clark worked as a carpenter in an Insulator factory. And in 1940, he worked as a Packer at Lapp's Insulator. 

Charles Clark Daniels died in September 1983 in Batavia, Genesee County. Charlotte Louise Armstrong died in June 1979 in Batavia. 





This photograph likely dates from about 1895. Clark appears older than he did in the 1894 photograph of Clark and his sister Charlotte. 

The Little Lord Fauntleroy look he is wearing in the photo was very popular in the late 1880s into the 1890s. The wicker chair is very typical of studio furniture of the 1890s. 

The photograph was taken at the studio of  Philos Beecher Housekneecht (1858-1930) where the photograph of Clark and his sister was taken. The centered monogram on the card does date the photograph to 1899-1894. 

Given Clark's age in this photograph, it would seem that Philos Housekneecht used the centered monogram style on his cabinet cards a bit longer than most other photographers.

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...
