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.

My Grandmother's Recipes - Sandwiches

   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. She married my grandfather, Francis William Hankins (1897-1963) in 1920 at her parents home in Stafford. Beginning in the 1930s, my grandmother ran the

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
