Travels of Linda Wright - continued

Linda's travels from 1990 continues in this issue - continued from page 398, last issue. Picking up in Willimantic CT, visiting with first cousin of mom's, CLARA ANITA (TERRANOVA) DUNTON. Readers have expressed interest in Linda's travel diary and we hope she will share with us her 1991 Journey to Ingalls, AZ, Ingalls Park, ILL, and Ingalls, MI.

We had a very nice visit and after asking her permission, got my pencil and paper out and brought her side of the family up to date and even got to take a picture of her to add to my relative album.

We said goodbye and off I headed for my next stop, Kent, CT. I was spending a couple of nights with my dad's first cousin, Dorothy Leora (Ingalls) Camp B3114-11, and her husband, Ralph Frederick Camp. We spent part of Friday riding around some of northwest CT to see where Ralph and. Dot used to live and to finally drive through the covered bridge at West Cornwall.

They took me to lunch at a local golf club where Ralph plays. We sat out on the veranda to take in the scenery. It's like another world "up here" compared to "flat" Florida. I just love to ride and enjoy the scenery so it's nice to let someone else do the driving periodically.

Sat., Sep 8, saw me making tracks toward Saratoga, NY. I was on my way to "cousin" Sandi's--Sandra Marion (Ouimette) Connell B220-12. Since I had some time to kill before I got to Sandi and Dennis’, I stopped by Tivoli, NY to see if I could catch "cousin" Ella--Ella May (Coons) Kellerhouse B220-10--­at home. Got there, I was told, but she and 2 or 3 others had gone to a church bazaar. Off I went in search of them. Did up the church bazaar, no Ella or cohorts. Back to the house. I remember all this running around, but I can't remember if I ever caught up with them on this go round!! Waiting too long to write this, coupled with dead brain cells, makes for hap­hazard reporting! !

Off to Sandi's. Usually when I get there, it isn't long before we've taken over the dining room...table, floor, chairs ...to spread out our genealogy. A lot of catching up and reg­rouping over the next 1-2 days before we head south to Cheviot, NY (Columbia Co.) and "cousin" Sue's for our annual slumber party. Susan Jane (Ingles) Droege B220-12 and husband, Bill, are our hosts for a couple of days.

Sue, Sandi and I do book-work, catching up on our common line and some branches we might have added to since last year. Then we go off on road trips. Sue's knowledge of the area (Dutchess and Columbia Counties) where our ancestors settled is great and she always seems to have a new nook or cranny to take us to.

Our biz project this year was to do some gravestone rubbings of our Ingalls/Ingles relatives. It's a shame at the vandalism and erosion the stones have had to take. We really enjoy our outings and feel sad that our time together is so short but boy do we make the most of it.

With sad farewells on Wed. Sep 12, Sandi heads north to Saratoga and I buzz over to Tivoli to finally catch up with Ella. We do a lot of catching up, looking at pictures and just visiting. She informs me that 1991 will be an active year for her grands, they'll make her a great grandmother five times

-403-

and that includes a set of twins, which runs in that line. Later that afternoon, I went to see Ella's sister-in-law, Laura Margaret (Masten) Coons, who is in a nursing home near Rhinebeck. We had a good visit. That night, Ella and I went to see Laura's daughter, Connie Claire Coons B220-11. She was excited that we'd come and it was another good visit.

All too soon, my wandering in New England was coming to a halt. Thursday Sep 13 sees me on the road south toward Seaford, DE, but not without a short stop in Wilmington, DE to see my dad. We visit for a little while then I'm off to Seaford which is about two hours south to visit with my brother, Alan Mark Ingalls B220-11; B3115-12, and his family, wife, Ann Marie (Mulrooney) and kids, . . .

I took them out to dinner in celebration of Al and Ann's 10th anniversary, which was the end of August. Al's newest hobby is becoming a ham. He and our dad talk" over the air waves as they upgrade their ratings. I don't know my brother's call letters, but if any of you "ham" it up, my dad's call is WG 30.

Left Seaford Saturday a.m. for Lorton, VA and the auto-train station. It's only a 2-4 hour drive from Seaford depending upon the traffic and construction, so as long as you're at the station by 2:00-3:00 p.m., you can also incorporate a lot of antique shopping or looking. Then I relax and let them "do the driving" and wind up 30-45 minutes from home the next morning in Sanford, FL. What a way to spoil yourself! That's it for 1990. Oh, yeah, three days after I got home I left again for North Carolina with my mother-in-law, Mary Margaret (Atkinson) Wright, for a Wright reunion in Tabor City. Bye.

The preface of the book is enclosed here, for your information. The author explains the purpose of his work is historical but makes some genealogical corrections, or contradictions (sic) of Dr. Burleigh's work.... I found his book very helpful and should be used for comparison of early genealogical data. It may be available as a reprint. Most genealogical libraries carry a copy for reference purposes.

MYRTLE MAY INGALLS (Myrtle M. Adair photo omitted)

Unfortunately, Dr. Burleigh's book is not complete when it comes to data relating to Charles Nelson Ingalls, grandfather of Myrtle May Ingalls. On page 176, under #3249, Dr. Burleigh states: "Charles, b. 1819; d. East Machias, Me., 1852; m. and had
68

-408-

Charles, lives Minn.; Viola, d." This has been corrected on the accompanying chart of Ingalls.

Charles actually had three children, not two: 1. Frank Herbert Ingalls 2. Charles Oscar Ingalls (b.-Aug. 6, 1850­ Machias, Me. m.-- De Ette Gibbs; d.-Mpls., Minn.) 3. Viola Inez Ingalls (b.-Mar. 4, 1853-Machias, Me. d.-Dec. 1, 1864). Frank Herbert Ingalls (whose name does not appear in Burleigh's book) had three children also: 1. Viola 2. Myrtle Mae (May) 3. Frank H., Jr. Myrtle May Ingalls, subject of this book with her husband Fred L. Adair, was born Oct. 27, 1879 in Rich­field, Minn. (a suburb of Minneapolis). She married Dr. Adair on Nov. 18, 1911 in Minneapolis, at Plymouth Congregational Church. She passed away July 27, 1959 at her home in Maitland, Fla.

Myrtle May's father, Frank, was raised on a farm in East Machias, Me. His father, a sea captain, was lost at sea in March, 1855. His mother remarried on June 9, 1859 one Isaac Mosher. During the '50's there was a great deal of migration from the rocky hills of New England to the fertile plains and valleys of the mid-west. So it can be assumed the Moshers moved west, for, on Mar. 28, 1864, young Frank enlisted as a private in Co. 'K', 37th Reg't. Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers at Eau Claire, Wis. At that time he was but a little over 15 years of age, so the Moshers must have made their move between 1859 and 1864.

Because of his obvious youth (official records state he was 18), he was made "drummer boy'. At the time he was described as being 5'7", dark hair, dark complexion, black-eyed.

The 37th Reg't. arrived in Washington, D.C., on May 1st, 1864; thence by steamer to White House, Va., where they joined the 9th Army Corps by order of General Burnside. Entering action at Cold Harbor on June 12, the Reg't. was then ordered onto a forced march across the James River on the 15th and into an infantry assault on the 17th against the trenches of the Confed­eracy at Petersburg. Repulsed with heavy losses, the 37th attacked again on the 18th and secured the first line of works which they fortified. They lost 152 men in this first engagement.

July 30th brought the famed ‘Battle of the Crater' at Peters­burg. It was a turning point for the little 'Drummer Boy' from Maine. As the Union forces rolled through the breach, created by a massive mining operation, the `drummer boy', sounding the

charge, vanished in a sea of Confederate uniforms. Out of 250 men of the 37th, only 90 stood assembly that night; the attack having failed through bungling by the top brass.

Frank the "Drummer Boy" was taken prisoner and was sent to two successive prisons: Libby and Andersonville, where he suf­fered great malnutrition; he being known at the prison as the ‘living skeleton'. Both then, and later after the war, he was still known, however, to exhibit his skill as a drummer.

Paroled on Oct. 17, 1864, he returned to his regiment for the campaign around Appomattox. After Lee's surrender, the regiment served in various capacities, participating in the grand review of the Army of the Potomac on May 23, 1865. They were mustered out on July 26th and returned to Madison, Wis., where they were disbanded.

During the `Battle of the Crater', young Frank was hit by a shell on the left side of his head. This left a bad scar which he partially concealed with a lock of hair. Later, he developed severe headaches and had his skull trephined, which gave some relief. He then married Agnes Emeline Willey on July 30, 1871 in Minneapolis, where he developed a dairy and poultry farm near the famed Minnehaha Creek of Hiawatha tradition. He died in an Old Soldiers' Home in Minneapolis in 1916, his wife having passed on some ten years before that.

Myrtle May lived in Minneapolis with her husband and children until the Fall of 1929, when a move was made to Chicago, Ill., where her husband, Dr. Adair, had just been given the Chairmanship of the Dep't. of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Uni­versity of Chicago, along with Chief of Staff of the Lying-In Hospital. During this period and subsequent, Mrs. Adair became ex­tremely active in community, university and cultural affairs. Her artistic talent became manifest with a series of exhibits and one woman shows. She was prominent in the Women's Medical Auxiliary of the American Medical Association. She sought out and obtained, through personal research, ancestral data essential to membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants. In later retirement in Florida she headed local Garden Club activities, whilst still maintaining her art work. She passed away July 27, 1959 leaving her husband, three children and both grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her three children were: 1. Agnes Jennings Adair 2. Robert Chamberlain 3. Richard Porter Adair.

Obituaries

OLIVE ETHEL INGALLS of Abercorn, Quebec

The community was saddened to hear of the passing of Olive at the Brome Missisquoi Perkins Hospit­al on January 3, 1991, after a short illness, in her 77th year.

She was the daughter of George Homer Ingalls and his wife Alice Payne. She was born and still lived on the Ingalls' farm at Abercorn where her father was also born. Although her health had been slowly failing, she was always ready to help around the home she made with her sister and husband. Olive was known as "Auntie" to family and young close friends.

She willingly cooked for food sales, church suppers and often helped at the rummage sale. She was a member of the Calvary United Church Women, Happy Gang and a Life Member of the Brome County Historical Society. She also took an active interest in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery.

Many hours were spent in her flower garden, knitting, crocheting and making quilts. These homemade gifts will be treasured by her family and friends. She made and decorated many wedding, anniversary and christening cakes. We will always remember her being eager to go out for a meal, and enjoyed the family when they came home for a visit.

She is survived by her only sister Dorothy Ingalls Burnett Reid, husband Benjamin; Basil Sargent, a cousin who was like a close family member as he spent most of his young life on the farm. Also by her only living uncle John and Gladys Payne, nieces Janice and Lester Hawley, Barbara and Christopher Frame and nephew Grant and Pauline Burnett, great-nieces Pamela and Kelly Hawley, Olivia and Christa Frame and great­nephew Jeffrey Hawley.

The family gathered for prayers at the Cowansville Funeral Home, Sutton, followed by the funeral at 2 p.m. from Calvary United Church. Two hymns "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art" were sung by the congregation. Rev. Paul Rumbolt gave a comforting mes­sage.

Bearers were Robert Waterhouse, Arnold Roya, Wesley Larocque and John Willis.

The many people who called, the well filled church, donations in her memory to the church, hospital and Canadian SPCA were an out­spoken token of the esteem in which Olive was held.

Light refreshments were furnished by the United Church Women at the home of Lester and Janice Hawley in Abercorn.

The burial will be held in the spring in Pleasant Valley Cemetery in the family lot.

Those who attended from a distance were Basil Sargent, Hamilton, Ont., his son-in-law Kevin Murphy, Parry Sound, Ont., Mr. and Mrs. Don Novicky, New Fairfield, Conn., Mrs. Sandra Para­dise, West Redding, Conn., Mr. and Mrs. Hayden Waterhouse, Woodsville, N.H. and many others from Quebec and Vermont.

For some years Nettie rented rooms and took in boarders in her home and then afterwards rented rooms to skiers.

Members of the Olivet Baptist Church in Sutton, Quebec, fondly remember Nettie. Besides being assistant organist, she cooked for suppers and supplied flowers for the altar. She was active in the Baptist Mission Circle and entertained many church visitors. One member remembers Nettie help­ing to prepare the young people for a Christmas church entertainment.

When Nettie sold her property in Sutton she returned to Abercorn to reside. She regularly played the organ in All Saints' Church. Years before she was organist in the same church. Many of her baked goodies and beautiful handicrafts were donated to help the All Saints' Guild and Abercorn Women's Institute.

Mary Eugene Stickland was born April 26, 1899, at Creston, lowa, the daughter of George and Elvia Stickland. Her family moved to a homestead in Tripp County when she was ten years old. Mary was 14 when her mother died and she assumed household duties and care of her younger brother and sisters. Although she did not attend school after her Mother's death, her desire to learn brought many skills to this self-educated woman.

She was married to George Engel on October 29, 1919 at Winner and they farmed northeast of town where they began to raise their family. In 1933 the drought and grasshoppers forced them to move to Saunders County, Nebraska, but they returned to Tripp County in 1943, going back to the farm.

Mary and George retired from the farm and moved to Dallas in 1968. This gave Mary many new oppor­tunities in life as she enjoyed being with friends and especially enjoyed activities at the Dallas Social Center. George died in 1977 and Mary lived in Dallas, later in Gregory, and as health required in the Winner and Gregory Nursing Homes, where she died on September 2, 1987, at the age of 88 years.

Mary is survived by her two daughters: Alice Krchnavy of Gre­gory and LeArlie Barry of Dallas, 13 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; her brother, Carl Stickland of Winner; two sisters: Dorothy Hansen of Portland, Oregon and Thelma McLaughlin of Nickerson, Nebraska; a daughter-in-law, Ramoles Engel of Fremont, Nebr. and many nieces, nephews and other relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband George, and one son, Marvin.

"At Rest In Unadilla, Otsego Co. NY" by Shirley B. Goerlich. This is from an announcement of a reference book. "Reaching back 200 years, the author has uncovered previously unknown or forgotten cemeteries and recorded by hand some 6,000 gravestones. She has included genealogical notes on more than 200 early families, a list of some 281 veterans of all wars the 1850 U.S. Census for the Town of Unadilla. There are nearly 10,000 names in the maiden name and regular indexes.

"Unadilla's history in the expanding of America is important. It was to this region that scores of settlers arrived from CT, MA, VT, NH, RI and Europe in 1784. Many of the early settlers made Unadilla their home and descendants of these families still live there. Others lived in Unadilla for a period of time before moving vest to OH, MI and other states.

"Included are directions to and pictures of each cemetery, maps highlighting their location and a description of the condition of each of the 17 cemeteries. Many obsolete gravestones in the oldest cemeteries are coordinated with existing parish records.

"This hardbound edition of 662 acid-free pages is available from: RSG Publishing, PO Bo x 441, Sidney NY 13888-0441 SAN 169300573 for $60 each plus $2 for shipping charge."

Editor's Note: I have not reviewed this reference book. The surname INGALLS appears more than ten times in the index. This may provide some useful information for persons researching this particular NY area. Check with your local library on its availability.

Advertising Stoneware (Antique Journal, May 1974) M. A. INGALLS, ca 1880, Herkimer, NY.

FIGURE 1, above, shows two handled whiskey jug with Bristol slip glaze marked M.A. INGALLS / LIQUOR DEALER / HERKIMER / N.Y., ca. 1880.

An unusually attractive as well as uncommon form was the two-handled jug such as that of M.A. Ingalls, a Herkimer, N.Y., liquor dealer whose container is illustrated in figure 1. (omitted) Ingalls, who was active in the 1880s, marked his name, address and trade on the jug. Whether it was intended to be returnable is a moot question.

Consider Your Interdependence

Take joy in the families that love one another;
The children and parents who live for each other.
Count your blessings in those who are neighbors and friends –
Who are there to stand by you. and on whom you depend.

But pity the man who tries to go it alone.
His days are bleak and his thoughts unknown.
Survival is hard without human exchange.
So the loner is going. Our country's changed.

In this day and age. there's a pattern of sharing –
A reliance on others, a premium on caring.
Wherever you live, whatever you do.
You depend on someone to help see you through.

There are farmers and teachers, the phone company's crew –
The doctors, police, and firemen too.
You count on the butchers, the bakers, the sawers of wood –
And sometimes you bring in the whole neighborhood.

You depend for your food on the Lord's good earth.
And every steward will tell you its worth.
But it needs water and care and intelligent use:
It needs your strong voice in spreading the truth.

When you rely on so many - as they do on you –
That's interdependence. by a million or two.
Be glad that you're needed; be proud of your part.
It means that you're sharing in mind and in heart.
Consider your interdependence. Consider it well.
