Goodner Family Bible

I'm just posting these here to get them out on the internet. I'll also post them on Ancestory.com. They are pages from a Goodner Family Bible.  The book itself was in terrible shape and, after many unsuccessful attempts to find a home for it, I finally disposed of it - but kept these four pages.  I got the book from dad (James Ray Willis) and am not even sure which Goodner it belonged to.  The first page lists the marriage of Edward Blooming Goodner and Effie Elizabeth Vail and it probably belonged to them. This is not in our own direct line.  Edward was the son of Blooming Cruse Goodener and we are descended from him through his daughter Adeline (Addie).   

Lois Jeanette Wiffin

I have no idea who this is - but the picture was among the many in Aunt Maudes' photo albums that fit that category.  This one, like many, had the name on the back and it's evidently from 1933.  Every now and then I pull out one of these out and see if I can find a descendent.  I was successful on this one.  I sent a digital copy to a grandson after making the contact and the family was very happy.  They had not seen the picture before.  Yesterday the original went in the mail to them in Lincoln, Nebraska.   

Nostalgia overload!!

This little place used to be the library.  I went here a lot! 

So we've driven through Irving several times in the last few years but yesterday Glynda attended a Dulcimer festival that was in, of all places, the First Methodist Church in Irving which is where I went to VBS when I was a kid - they didn't have things like that at the Christian Science Church.  So yesterday I spent a couple hours walking around old downtown Irving and our old neighborhood.  Overload!  Anyway - here's some pictures I took - with captions. 

Irving Shoe Repair - It was just a couple doors down from dads' "Ray Willis Paint Store" in the early 1950's and it's still there now and a guy took in a pair of shoes while I was there.  Who repairs shoes anymore?  Back then you always re-soled shoes at least once!

Not at all as it was then so I just took a photo of the number - 120 S. Main Street.  Used to be dads' store.  Now it's a florist that looks sorta like a head shop once you're inside. 

Big State Drug store - opened in 1948.  Glynda had lunch at their soda fountain and later in the day I had coffee there.  Lots of old folks eating there - looks like their clientele will die off in a few years.  I also took a picture of a shelf of old prescriptions - looks like they have them all from the beginning!

306 High School Lane - Dad had it built while we were living next door at 704 E. Third Street - a house that he had built using concrete blocks.  Both are still there.

704 East Third Street.  I was probably 4 or 5 when we moved here.

On the right - Griff's Hamburgers - they were 5 for a dollar.  Straight ahead - the Irving Theater - movies for a quarter.  And to the right a convenience store - nickle candy bars and nickle cokes.  For $1.00 Linda and I could go to the movies and have a hamburger and coke afterwards.  (No sales tax then either.)

One of my favorite stores was the Army & Navy store.  It's still there only it's now called the Army & Navy Pawn Shop.  I bought my back pack for school there - army surplus - and they still have them and they are close to the same place in the store!

Different building and even a different denomination now - but it used to be the Presbyterian church.  My Cub Scout pack and Boy Scout troop met there and Suzie and I got married there.

A community building - it's where I went to take my tests to get my drivers license.

Around the corner was the fire station

The little white building was a barber shop and was where I got my hair cuts.  The house on the right faced one street and the little building faced another street.  It was just a few blocks from our house on High School Lane.

519 Union Bower Road - Herb and Meree sold it to us when they moved and it's where we lived when Bambi was born.

Dads' lodge - the same sign was there then.

I know I'm sounding like an old guy here but that's the way it is! 
And now I'm learning why old guys act like old guys and don't even care!

More on Aunt Maude's old photographs

Aunt Maude had lots of old (1904-1920) photographs - many of them very high quality and in good condition.  Unfortunately most do not have any identification on them - but some do.  And for the past week or so I've been using my genealogy software to try to find people that might be interested in having these.  A story has developed about the picture above.  Norm, the owner of the tree I contacted looked into it and his living cousin, Helen, is the sister of the two boys.  They are from Michigan.  Helen wanted to know how the picture got to Texas and I told her about Aunt Maude, whose maiden name was Littleford, and that she went to college in Chicago and that we have family there.  She then asked if Maude was related to (brother and sister) George and Lottie Littleford because they were friends of hers.  And, yes, Maude is related.  She's the daughter of another brother.  I'm still not sure why Maude had the picture of two boys whose last name is Weller.  (It's a 1920 Christmas picture.)  Maybe there's a relationship somewhere, I sure don't have it in my tree.  But I'm pretty sure that Aunt Maude would enjoy this "discovery" and the knowledge that the original of the picture will soon be on it's way to Helen!  It's been an enjoyable connection and exchange of information and there are a couple more working now.

On another note, I noticed today that there was one of those little green leafs on my cousin Jerry's (Jerry Ray Zapata) name in the Family Tree Maker software.  When I clicked on it I found his death record - he died last November 25th.  He was the last member of that part of the family except for one child of his and three children of a sister.

Working with Family Tree Maker and some old photographs

And this is one of my favorite old photographs.  Her name was Isabel Jeanette Van Hagan.  Her mother, Margarette,  was a Flanders and was the sister of my great-grandfather Charles Lorenzo Flanders.  I just think it's a great photo that shows how photography was thought of at the time.  And the time was 1906 and Isabel was eighteen.  She was probably named after her grandmother Isabella who emigrated from England.

Old papers from mom

I was looking for something today that led to digging out an old box I'd never gone through before.  There were lots of old papers from stuff mom had kept.  There are a number of report cards from my grandfather (Flanders) showing that he attended both Columbian and Colonial Hill schools in Dallas in the 1900's and that he made B's and C's, seldom tardy but absent a couple days each semester, and was basically a good boy.  But the oldest document is the one here.  It's his mother's (my great grandmother's) report card from North-Western College in Naperville, Illinois, dated December 14t 1878.  That's a rare find!!  There are a number of things I'll need to scan and get into the genealogy software.

OK - this is pretty funny.  After posting the above I started looking at my grandfathers cards.  On this one the last two grades in "deportment" are 4.s - that means bad.  At the bottom of the card there's a note.  It says "If Charles does not stop playing and put his mind to his work, I fear he will fail in June".  If you look at the parents signatures on the card, the last one is different and looks very much like it was written by a child and is in pencil!
 

I'm not sure what the teachers problem was.  He was making mostly B's and even got his first A's in Arithmetic. He did drop down to C's in Reading and Writing.  I think this is the third grade.  Note that the report card is from the Columbian school.  That was a James E. Flanders building.  Check the link for a picture of it in my JEF online book.

Ancestory from Williston, NC

We know our ancestors settled in the area that became known as Williston (the family surname at the time) on the east coast of North Carolina in Cataret County. Here's a photo from 1940 and a little bt of Williston history. The population in 2000 was only 274 and the town has now disappeared from Google map search. Last year I could make a map to Williston. This year the program no longer finds it! It's near the town of Beaufort and the Cape Lookout National Seashore.

1940's left to right Willis Bros potato house, old Lon Willis store, Willis Bros store, post office bldg; Willis Bros clam shucking house; Willis Bros original clam sorting house.

Williston History

Little industry remains in Williston today, but the small waterfront community was once home to several fish houses, boat building operations, stores and even its own school, according to Wayne Willis, a community historian. Like most of the down east communities, Williston was self-sufficient. Residents had only limited need to go into the town of Beaufort. And for those who did, boats were the main mode of transportation through history.

In his DVD “Williston: The First 300 Years,” Mr. Willis said English settlers first came to Williston three centuries ago. “The first white man to own Williston acreage was John Jarrott for whom Jarrett Bay is named,” Mr. Willis said. “John Jarrott received the territory in a land grant from King George I in 1719. John Jarrott passed its ownership on to his sons Abraham and John Jarrott Jr. who sold it to John D. Williston.”

Before the time of machinery or roads life in Williston moved at a snails pace, Mr. Willis said. “Williston folks lived a simple life. They were poor in some ways, but they probably didn’t know it,” he continued. “For the original settlers Williston was a sheltered harbor with a temperate climate. The land would grow a wide variety of vegetables and fruit trees. It had vast tracts of virgin forests teeming with wild game. The early people of Williston thrived on oysters, clams, finfish and fowl they either hunted or raised. Compared to their former homes, Williston was a paradise.”

The most common medium of exchange was bartering, he said, as money was often scarce. Families helped each other, trading crops for fish or home repairs for canned goods from the family kitchen. Many will remember Williston as the home of Elmer Willis, affectionately known as the Clam King who welcomed a variety of governors and dignitaries to the sleepy community for his famous clambakes. While the men handled the business, the fish house was filled with women from the community who spent their days shucking clams, cleaning shrimp and grading fish according to size.

While it was strenuous for every member of the family, it was a good, honest life, Mr. Willis said. And life continues much the same today. Roads and bridges may have connected the community to the outside world, and money may change hands for provisions as needed, but life in Williston is as relaxed as it was during its humble beginnings.

One of the challenges in genealogy research

This is a copy of the transcription record of the 1920 census record for my uncle Charlie. He's listed as Charley Blanders - not Charlie Flanders. Granny is Jarlie O. Blanders - not Verlie, and mom is Ida M. Blanders, not Ida N. Flanders. You could go a long time without ever finding this record!

On the other hand, the genealogical things that are available on line now are truly amazing - as is the software that handles them! I wasn't even looking for the record above - the program found it and suggested it.

My Genealogy File is Online Now

I've been having some problems with my computer and got to thinking about my genealogy file and it's sole place of residence on my hard drive. It's got over 2000 individuals in the file now so I decided that I'd best published my genealogy file to Ancestry.com. Here's the link:

http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=10942125&pid=-553889523

In publishing the file I kept the information to living individuals private so, for example, I'm listed as "Living Willis" and everyone living can be found in the file but only as their relationship to others. The link above will take you to dad's record.

Another Genealogical Bit of Information!

We've had this picture for many years. It was drawn by my grandfather Charles Walmsley Flanders. The picture was framed and recently the glass was broken. In taking the glass off, we found that the picture was dated as well as signed. He drew this in March, 1907 - 102 years ago and he would have been thirteen at that time - looking much like he does in the picture below. (Reminder of the double-click for the larger picture.) The composition is familiar to me and, I think, not because I've seen this all my life but because it's probably a copy of another sketch or painting.

(Here's the name and date from the lower left corner of the picture.)

Adam Methuselah Soloman Samson Washington Lafeyette Ator

Bambi was wondering what the "S.S.W.L." in the previous post on Ator names stood for. I really had no hope of finding that out but a "cut and paste" search on Google turned up one hit - and that one hit did explain it!

"Notes for Adam Methuselah S.S.W.L. ATOR:Complete name: Adam Methuselah Soloman Samson Washington Lafeyette Ator Adam signed his name, "A. M. S. S. W. L. Ator"His father said that A. M. S. S. W. L. "Is the largest boy Ihave raised . . . He is very antic, very stout"

Some More Genealogy - This Time - The Ators

Suzie gave me a name this morning that got me past a roadblock on Meree's side of the family and I've been working on that most of the day. If you're like me you always thought that Herb's middle name "Quick" was a little unusual. The Ators (who have been in the Mineral Wells area since the mid-1800's) have a lot of unusual names in the family. Here, for grins, are some of the best ones (year is the birth year):

1812 - MATHIAS DOUT ATOR
1839 - WARTHADEUS ATOR
1842 - PHARAOH THOMAS ATOR
1849 - GENERAL JOHN ZACHARY TAYLOR ATOR
1851 - OREGON ATOR
1858 - PARROTT ATOR
1859 - PRINCE ATOR
1860 - TENNESSEE WILSON ATOR
1864 - TEXAS ATOR
1868 - NAPOLEON BONAPART ATOR
1870 - MARYLAND E. ATOR
1872 - CALIFORNIA ATOR
1874 - SUSANA MEXICO ATOR
1876 - ARIZONA ATOR
1887 - ADAM METHUSELAH S.S.W.L. ATOR
1889 - SULAR DEXTER ATOR
1891 - SULAR HINDMAN ATOR
1895 - JUST PAT ATOR
1898 - KLONDIKE D. ATOR

Who is Jonathan Carter Cudd?

A few days ago I gave myself a project of finding a Civil War ancestor for the Hayes family. I didn't suceed. I'm at a real dead-end on Jimmy's grandparents and I'm going to have to talk to Jimmy and see what he can tell me to get me by the impasse. I didn't find a Civil War ancestor on Margarets side either but I did work back to Jonathan Carter Cudd which is from Margaret's mothers family. The relationship is:

Jonathan Carter Cudd
> Carter C. Cudd
>> Joshua R. Cudd
>>> Robert Goodloe (Goodlow?) Cudd
>>>> John B. Cudd
>>>>> Elsie F. Cudd
>>>>>> Margaret Ann Miller
>>>>>>> James Roy Hayes

Jonathan Carter Cudd is a Revolutionary War ancestor for the Hayes family. His pay records appear in Loyalists in the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War by Mutie June Clark published in 1981 by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. of Baltimore. In the earliest record, the six month period ending in December, 1780 he was listed as serving in "Colonel John Cotton's Regiment, Stevenson's Creek Militia, Ninety Six Brigade, Captain John Cotton's Company, those who came to Orangeburgh, SC, with Lieut. Colonel John H. Cruger"

The links to him aren't certain enough to get you a membership in the DAR but I'd say they have a better than 90% chance of being correct. The family is from South Carolina and the earliest primary source record I can find is the listing for Jonathan's grandson Joshua Robert Palmer Goodlow Cudd in the 1840 census of Union, South Carolina.

Another Bit of Family Nostalgia

This is about Aunt Maude's house. (Aunt Maude was my mother's father's half-sister. They had the same mother - Ida Deidamia Havens Littleford Kimberlin.) Aunt Maude lived in Dallas at 3221 Wendelkin Street. She taught music at the school right across the street from her home. Two of the fun things about visiting Aunt Maude were the presence of the big playground right across the street and the interesting house that she lived in. It was a big old house with lots of interesting features and rooms. This morning Glynda and I ate breakfast in our little nook and we observed that the nook would be just the right size to hold a twin bed and that reminded me of the room in Aunt Maude's house in the picture above. This room was on the second floor and was attached to the main bedroom. This was a sleeping room and it was filled up by the bed that was in it. This was before air conditioning and the only relief from summer heat was electric fans. This room is where she slept on those hot summer nights, open to the outside air on three sides.

You can see the location of the room in this picture of the whole house. (There are four people on the porch in this picture, one standing and three in a porch swing but the picture's not good enough for me to identify all of them but the one in the middle on the swing is Aunt Maude.) BTW - this picture and the one below are on post cards - something you could have done at the time - maybe an early version of Snap Fish.

And, while were talking about Aunt Maude's house, I'll add this picture. The library table pictured here was in her house. It's now the desk in my study and it's where I'm sitting now as I post this. Supposedly, the desk was made by my great grandfather Charles Lorenozo Flanders. I don't know how true that is. It would seem a bit strange for something he made to be in her house but that's family tradition so I'll accept that. The desk is one of three or four pieces all made at the same time in the same style.

Another Revolutionary War Ancestor

Conrad Goodner's service in the Revolutionary War, though brief, is well documented. His relationship to us is through this line:

Conrad Goodner
> David Goodner
>> Superior Goodner
>>> Blooming Cruse (BC) Goodner
>>>> Adeline Goodner
>>>>> James Ray Willis

He was born Nov. 29, 1756 in Hesse, Darmstadt, Germany and died Aug. 27, 1837 in Nashville, Illinois. He enlisted Nov. 1, 1778, at Hillsborough, Orange County,NC and served under Capt. John Griffy and Col. Thackson. (1). Both of these dates are confirmed in the U.S. Veterans Gravesites records and add the facts that he is buried in Liberty Cemetery, Nashville, Washington County, Ill and that he was a Private in the "Continental Line Revolutionary War". (2) He was placed on the pension roll on July 16, 1833 when he was 76 years old. (3) The book "The Goodner Family", an old but thoroughly researched book (I received a copy from dad), also says that he was a "waggoner" at the encampment of General Lincoln when the Battle of Stone Brier was fought on March 3rd, 1779. It also says that he was hospitalized in the Black Swamp due to an illness during the last three months of his service and that he was discharged in August, 1779. Further information from this souce says that Conrad suffered from a severe case of curvature of the spine that left him in severe pain and bedfast for the last seven year of his life and that he was buried in a vertical position.

(2) National Cemetery Administration, U.S. Veterans Gravesites, ca. 1775-2006.

Conrad also appears in the "Index of the Rolls of Honor (Ancestors Index) in the Lineage Books of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution", the database "Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Illinois", and the "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of St. Clair County" and a number of other sources.

A Short Biography of Montreville Willis - but a really long post!

Montreville Willis was my fathers grandfather. He was the subject of a brief biography that appear in a book entitles Biographical Souvenir of the Sate of Texas, published in 1889. This is a collection of brief biographies of the common man. In 1941, one of his sons Thomas Jefferson Willis took the unusual step of writing an affadivit that was signed by him and notarized. The sole purpose of this document was to state his knowledge of his father's, Montreville's, family. These two documents, along with other genealogical research, enables me to write a brief biography considering Montreville as an ancestor.

Montreville was born in Clay County, Missouri on November 12th, 1833. He was the son of Geroge and Anna Rose Willis, both natives of North Carolina. Thomas Jefferson's affadivit says that George "was born in the latter part of the eighteenth century, was the son of an Irish gentleman who fought for the independence of the United States, and who in early life, was a school teacher". However, the book "Kith and Kin of Eastern Carteret County" by Thelma Pike Sampson and Rebecca Willis Sanders, the most in depth research of original documents of Carteret County , North Carolina, shows that George's father was a man named Benjamin Williston who was born in Carteret County between 1745 and 1750. Benjamin is at least the third generation American in the Williston family and there is, in fact, a town named Williston because they were the earliest settlers there. So the Irish lineage, at least as stated in the affadivit, is incorrect and calls into question, then, the additional George Willis information.

Montreville had three brothers; Levaston, Lewis Hamilton, and Caswell. George died when Montreville was only six years old. Thomas Jefferson's affadivit states that Lewis Hamilton was a Captain in the Confederate Army and was killed in battle. He also states that it's believed that Caswell was also killed in that conflict, leaving only the two brothers Montreville and Levaston. We know for certain that both of these also served in the Civil War but more about that later.

Montreville lived in Clay County, Missouri until 1853, when he was twenty years old. He then went west to Sacremento, California. This was four years after the discovery of gold at Sutters Creek, California which is near Sacremento but it's not known if that contributed to his decision to go there. He stayed in California until 1859 when he returned home to Missouri.

Within a couple years, the War Between the States began. Missouri was a border state between the north and the south was one of the two states that had pro-southern and pro-northern govenments. Clay County is very near the southern border of the state and that's probably why both Montreville and Levaston joined the Confederacy. They both enlisted in the Fifth Division of the Missouri State Guard, Company B, Shank's Regiment, Shelby's Brigade. It is said that Montreville took part in numerous battles including Lexington, Oak Hill, andPea Ridge as well as other battles in Texas and Arkansas.

The following is a story from another Montreville descendent, Mary Louise Shultz:

"My Father, Louis Willis, told me that his father related to him that Montreville joined the Civil War early and then after a time quit and rejoined. Dad said that when Montreville was questioned about this he would get upset but never would explain. Another tidbit was given to me by a cousin in OK was that the Willis boys rode with Quantrell for a short time. That makes sense because of another story my father told me. LouAnn, my cousin in OK, told me that when our Aunt Gladys was a child about 4 years old she woke up one night thirsty. This was in Denton County, TX. She got up and went into the kitchen for a drink and saw one of the James boys, Frank I think. She remembered it because it was in the dead of night and she remembered him saying he did not want to come in the daylight because he did not want to shame the family."

Both of these stories could be true. By the end of 1861, the Missouri State Guard had moved into Arkansas and was fighting there. Montreville married Francis "Fannie" Womble Burkhead in 1862 in Arkansas and their first child, Anna Laura, was born in October, 1862. So it doesn't look like Montreville was fighting the war in 1862 and it does look like he might have been doing something he'd rather not talk about later on.

Francis (Fannie) Womble Burkhead Willis

As for riding with Quantrill and the "James boys" (Google "Quantrill's Raiders" if you need to and see the Wikpedia entry.) - both William Quantrill and the James boys as well as the Younger boys, were all from southern Missouri. William Quantrill "developed a style of guerrilla warfare that terrorized civilians and soldiers alike" and some of the tactics used would be considered atrocities. He operated along the Missouri-Kansas border. The James-Younger gang did ride with Quantrill and that's where they learned some of the tactics they later employed as outlaws. In 1861, Quantrill was considered a hero. In 1863, with a raid in Lawrenceville, Kansas, it came to an end and the group was disbanded. We know that Montreville was released from the Confederate army in Little Rock Arkansas in May, 1865. So it's possible that between 1861 and 1865, Montreville joined the Missouri Guard, ended up in Arkansas and married, left the Guard and joined Quantrill riding with him for some unknown period, left Quantrill and rejoined his old unit, and fought to the end of the war when members of the southern army were "paroled".

By 1869, Montreville had moved to a farm about four miles west of Denton, Texas where he lived until 1906. A daughter Cassa (Cassie) who was born in 1867, died and is buried in the I.O.O.F. cemetery there. Another daughter, Mary, born in August, 1875 lived only six days is also buried there. The other children were John Lewis, 1870; Thomas Jefferson, 1873; Francis Elizabeth,1876; and, finally, James Monroe, my grandfather, 1878.

In 1878 Montreville served as a juror in the murder trial of Robert Morrow in Denton County, Texas. The verdict must have been "guilty" because his brother Levaston was a witness to the execution.

In August, 1882, both Montreville and Levaston traveled to Sherman to attend the Ex-Confederate Missourians Association of Texas" 2nd annual meeting.

By 1900, all of the children had left home. Anna, whose last name was now Scott, had returned home with two daughters, Lucrecia and Winnie. Montreville was 67 and was still listed as a farmer on the census.

Levaston died in 1905 in Clay County, Texas but was taken to Denton for burial.

Montreville and Fannie were said to have moved to Olustee, Oklahoma in 1906 but by 1910, they were in Quanah, Texas. The two towns are only about twenty miles apart. This continues to be something of a puzzle - why Quanah? It does appear that at least one grandchild lived there but it was also the home of the father of James Monroe Willis's wife Addie, B.C. Goodner - my other great grandfather and another Confederate veteran of the Civil War.

Fannie died in Quanah in 1910 and Montreville died the following year. Both are buried in the Quanah cemetery.

1900 Census for Montreville Willis

"Granny" in the Wood County Democrat

I found out recently that the Wood County Democrat is one of the few small town newspapers that have their old editions on line and searchable. I got quite a few hits (10-12) on "Flanders" and most are my grandparents. This one is very typical small town stuff covering a meeting of the quilting club that Granny belonged to. (March 5, 1959)

Family History Lesson - The Revolutionary War

The picture is "The Surrender of Burgoyne" that took place after the Battle of Saratoga. Our ancestor Levi Flanders fought in this battle.


Sometime people want to know if any of their ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War. Just so you know, three of our ancestors took part in that conflict.

On the Willis side - You've probably seen the picture of Montreville Willis that I have. He was my great grandfather. His father was George Willis.

The father of George's wife, Anna, was "from Ireland and fought in the Revolutionary War".

George's father, Benjamin Williston, also fought in the Revolutionary War.

The source for both of these is an account of Montreville that appeared in a book called "Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas" published in 1889. See T-AH2.

The most complete, and recognized, documentation is on the Flanders side - Levi Flanders. His relation to me is a grandfather with four "greats" on it. Levi > Enos > Charles Clark > Charles Lorenzo > Charles Walmsley > Ida Narcissus > me.

Levi Flanders fought from 1775 to 1778 and he took part in The Battle of Saratoga.

The source for this is a 1914 application to the Daughters of the American Revolution for a person down another line from Enos. I've checked out the data on the application and, with minor corrections, it's valid. It includes information about his pension application that was granted based on his war record.

The Oldest Photograph in Our Family

Isabella Walmsley

I ran across this old picture the other day and decided to put it on the blog. This is Isabella Walmsley, an immigrant from Staleybridge England, a village on the outskirts of Manchester. She came to the United States about 1848 when she was eighteem years old. She is a direct ancestor on the Flanders side of the family and, of course, the source of the unusual "Walmsley" name that appears several times in our family.

• Isabella married Charles Flanders


• - Charles Clark Flanders


• - - Charles Lorenzo Flanders


• - - - Charles Walmsley Flanders


• - - - - Ida Narcissus Flanders

There are a lot of "greats" in her relationship to those who call me Grandpa. She looks to be in her fifty's in this photograph so it was probably taken in the 1880s'
