'LOCAL HISTORY"

BY DONALD D.' PARKER Brookings, South Dakota "LOCAL HISTORY" -- HOW TO GATHER IT, WRITE IT, AND PUBLISH I'1

(Continued from last week)

The furniture consists of a writ- ing desk, made of a board, horizon- tal in its length and inclined upward in its width, with the upward edge against the side of the house and fastened. For the children, the seats were puncheons, having near each end, on the under side, two auger holes, in which legs were inserted. For the teacher, a small table and an old fashioned round legged chair, seated with split bark in the hickory. Not every community is blessed with an institution of higher learning. Communities which possess' them have a finer cultural life than oth- ers unless other factors enter into the picture. Higher institutions at- tract cultured people who desire to live in the atmosphere of a college town or who wish to send their children to college. Your chapter can be expected to supply only a brief history of the educational institution in your community, for to treat this

subjec adequately a whole volume.

might be devoted to that subject alone.

X. The Newspapers, Periodicals, and Libraries.

1. The early newspapers, their ori-

gin, growth an dinfluence.

Political affiliatioris and part play- ed in local politics.

2. Discontinued newspapers, origin,

growth and influence.

Political affiliations.

Reasons for discontinuance, merg- ing, etc.

3. 'The present newspaper, origin, growth and influence. .

Political affiliations. Its policies for the local commun- ity.

4. Periodicals, magazines and jour- nels.

Origin, growth, influence.

5. Location of the files of present and defunct publications.

6. Libraries-private and public. Nearly every newspaper has been connected with one or another of the political parties. Often a paper was established to champion the political views of a party, or to promote cer- tain ideas. There are probably more defunct newspapers than existing ones. Each played a part during its lifetime. To evaluate the importance and influence of each may not be easy, but it is worth attempting.

News papers often played a major role in influencing public opinion on

other matters besides politics. This might be a good point at wnich to compare this influence with that of other factors-e. g., the pulpit; and, later, that of the movies or the ra- dio. In other words, one might com- ment here on the way in which pub- lic opinion was formed in. general.

The type of periodical usually. called a magazine was often devoted! to a particular interest. Thus there were agricultural journals, church and family magazines and temper- ance periodicals. These might be more appropriately described under such other main headings as, re- spectively, Agriculture, Religion, and Social Reform. General literary magazines or "journals of opinion,"" usually appeared only in the larger cities; but where they existed, they . deserve consideration.

The history of your public library, your local historical society, or your community's private library may be a story worth recording. The date when a community first reached that stage in its cultural life that it felt the need for books might prove of interest in your research. The inci- dents that led tothe organizing of a group to support such a literary ven- ture, the early sruggles, the growth of the institution, the present status, all are facts worth chronicling.

XI. Social and Fraternal Organiza- tions.

1. Origin and growth of each.

2. Purpose and special field of ac- tivity.

3. Relation to whole community. This chapter should take up briefly the history of such organizations as. the Masons, Knights. of Columbus, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Grange, Daughters of the . American Revolution, American Legion, Par-

ent-Teacher Association, Women's

clubs, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary club, and others. In communities of several thousand population, the: number of such organizations is like- ly to be a score or more. It may be- necessary to choose the mor eimpor- tant in each category and give merely a brief history of each, bpt every organization, past and present, should be listed in some manner, giving the facts as to its origin, date, importance and statistics. When possible, note also its general place and influence in the commun- ity. -

You will have to use your own judgment as to whether, in certaire cases, these organizations should be noted in connection with other op- ics .Thus the Masons might be dis- cussed in connection with the story of the Protestant churches or the Knights of Columbus in association with Catholicism.

MAY HART SMITH,

A GOLD STAR MOTHER

Daughter of George W .. and Hat- tie (Barker) Hart born May 22, 1869 died May 29, 1945, in Ontario, Calif. Married (1) Nov. 19, 1889 Frederick A. Gabb , deceased. One child, Geo. Percival Gabb born Dec. 25, 1890; died Nov. 14, 1915, a casualty of World War 1, died unmarried. Mrs. Gabb married (2) Feb. 21, 1910 .W. Hampton Smith. He was one time town clerk of Ontario and dled with- out Issue.

Mrs. Smith's data has been taken from the genealogy of her family, which appears Inthe following book, which might be found in your pub- lic library: Kennedy, Clara Hart (wife of Judge Thomas Kennedy.) Edward Hart descendants and alliei familles; Bloomington, Ill., 1939, 239 pages.

. .

Mrs. Smith gave this library sev- eral of her manuscripts which she designated for this library exclusive- ly. She also, we understand, gave other papers to other genealogical collections which she had used over a period of years.

1 She passed away in Ontario, Calif. at the home of a nurse and had. - previously arranged that nothing of value would be left to be disposed

1 1 of since she had no relatives here. The American Legion (in considera- tion of her son) took care of her, we understand.

: The genealogy of the family indi- cates that she did have a sister of whom she never spoke. The names given are: Bessie Hart Cooke, wife of George Ballard Cooke, mother of Lester Barker Cooke and Esther V. Spieiman. Mrs. Smith's niece, Mrs. Spielman, is listed as having a son, Lester Spielman who in 1939 was liv- ing at Sea Cliff, Long Island, N. Y.

Peter Alden, Jr. was born 1815, Vergennes. I knew Peter. He was my

at least 1 son, for one of the young Alden girls who went west at 4 years of age writes that her cousin, Will Ross, Aunt Eliza's Doy, bisited them. Has any one ever heard of or known of Eliza Alden Ross and her hus- band and Mary, George and Will, or any of their children ? Mary, if alive, would be about 100 and George, 98 or 99. Even though they passed on 10 or 15 years ago, somebody must have known of them or their child- ren.

I have the others pretty well ac- counted for. Kansas sent, in answer to my appeal for help, the census

One, in 1852, married there, bought a farm and raised his family there. Another, in 1873 along with a

nephew and his wife. The reports cover the growths of the families in 1885, so that I was able to locate the whole families. Kansas is a good place o live, it seems.

No one seems to know about Ed- ward, except that there was an Un- cle Edward except that there was an Uncle Edward who enlisted in Ver -. mont in the civil war and deserted in about six months. There is a belief that he enlisted again, this time from N. Y. Sate and served for some one else as a paid substitute. But I am not sure that that is my great uncle. Does anyone know ? I know he had a dau. Minnie, among several other children. At his Vt. enlisement, gave Vergennes as b. p. and 1834 date

You can see I am trying to locate all my family at the same time. I would be very glad too if Peter and Sally (Sharkey) Alden had any sis- ters and brothers .He is said by some to have been born at St. John's,

Canada by others somewhere in Conn. or southern Mass. Some oth- ers and brothers. He is said by some or around Saratoga Springs. No one has any proof that I know of. Mrs. Charles A. Stewart,

249 Mason Terrace, Brookline 46, Mass.

GUNSAUL, GONSAVLUS, CONSALIS

/ Wanted parents and grandparents of John Gunsalus (1800-1880). In 1830 he was living in Crane's Vil- lage, Montgomery county, later mov- ing to Indiana. He married,Mary, daughter of Martin Sparbeck. He had a brother Samuel who was born in Montgomery county Feb. 2, 1812.

DUELL Michael Duell 1750-1830, of Al- burgh, Vermont is believed to have been son of Philip who went from

N. Y. Is there anything to prove or disprove this ?

E. Russell Davol,

Ferguson, Wilson, carpenter.

Q. I am a veteran of World War living there. She had other children, II and I am at present receiving a pension in the sum of $57.50. A judg- ment has been filed against me in the sum of $400. Can the creditor levy against my pension to collect such debts ?

A. No. A veteran's compensation or pension is not subject to seizure by a creditor.

Q. Before I was discharged from the service for medical reasons I was required to sign a statement that my. disability existed prior to my enlist- ment. Will this prevent me from re- ceiving a pension ?

A. No; under the Servicemen's Re- adjustment Act of 1944, as amended, report of the three who went there. any statement of this nature which you may have made at the time of discharge is null and void.

Q. I am about to be admitted to a Veterans' Administration hospital for a non-service connected disability. Will the Veterans Administration pay my travel expense ?

A. If the veteran certifies that he is unable to pay his transportation to the hospital, it will be furnished by the Veterans Administration.

Q. Is a cash down payment in the purchase of a home necessary and if so how much ?

A. In some cases a loan can be made to cover the entire purchase price. However, a 100 per cent loan may place too heavy a burden on the veteran. A down payment will sub- stantially reduce the monthly carry- ing costs.

ALDEN, SHARKEY

My grandfather was John Alden, born 1822, Addison Co., Vt. His par- ents were Peter Alden, born around 1792 or 3 at Vergennes, Vt. and Sal- ly Sharkey (or Starkey) supposed to have come from Panton, Vt. Grand- father was one of 10 or maybe 11 brothers and sisters. There were Jo- seph, Peter, Jr., Mary Ann, John- who was my grandfather-Frank, Eliza, Edward, Henry, William and Harriet. Those are the 10 that the surviving youngest children remem- ber to have heard their parents speak of or have seen and known. There are four of those youngest children that I know of and know. All around 84, 82, 93, 94, 86.
