THI-: MEANING AND SIGNIFICANC.I:: OF ANCESTRAL NAMES

Humanity has been endowed with one name,then two names,later three names;and sometimes four names. Royalty and nobility are bestowed with a host l')f names. The name of the primitive,savage,barbarian was a secret:a magical treasure. He was not known by his private name,but by a convenient ''public'' name that signified a relations hip,a c haracte riza tion,or even a "nickname."

The name l')f the Biblical Hebrew is a branch of the Family Tree,or descriptive of the infant's birth,or commemorative of family history.or the pl')rtrayal of spiritual ideals to suggest a noble way of life.

The triple-names l')f the Roman were: 1. The personal name of the individual (praenomen). 2. The clan name "f the household (nomen). 3. The family name of the clan branch revealing ancient lineage (cognomen). The Roman military Cl')nquerl')r at times was accorded a fourth line to glorify his victory,and the Roman statesman tn accord appreciation of his civic achievements.

One's Name should uniquely distinguish the Individual. One should be proud of the Family or Surname (last name);of the Baptismal or Christening Given Name (first name);and of the Middle or Secondary Name.

I.This tri-fold name,or three names;are descriptive of one:s heredity: the Genealogy nr History of one's Family.the record of ones Ancestors:or a branch of the Family-Tree.

2. These names also reveal one: s environment: locality ,occupation, geograph­ical setting,relatives and friends.

3. Also these names portray personality:physical characteristics,mental traits,and ideals of character;suggestive of the hopes of parents to be achieved

in the life of the child. One!s Name or three-fold Name may answer one or more or all of the

following queries: 1. What is his original home or pre side nt residence?

2. What is his life-work? 3.Who is his father? His relatives and friends? 4. What is his most prominent personality trait? 5. What is his distinctive:: peculiarity?

The supreme Christian lay leader of the Free,Separatist,Independent, Nnn-Cnnfnrmist,Congregational Church was William Brewster who provided his Mannr fl")r the place of worship for the Free Church of Scrooby,England. As a religinus exile he was Elder or Teacher of the Free Church of Leyden, Hnlland,under the spiritual leadership of Pastor John Robinson. Later he was the Acting Lay Pastrir of the Free Church of the Pilgrims of Plymouth,Mass. still under the guidance of Pastrir Jnhn Robinson,who was refused a passport to the Pilgrim New World by the Old Wnrld Archbishop and King of Britain.

THE AMERICAN PILGRIMS OF 1620

The Pilgrims cc1.rried through the Protestant Reformation to its logical conclusinn: tn restore Jesus' Faith ,tnd Way of Life to its New Testament purity,simplicity,reality,and pnwer. The barnacles of superstitinn,hierarchy, formalisrn,inquisition,and pnwer-politics were tn be abolished. It was not to be J. re-forming of rnediaevalism,but rJ.ther a creative restoration of original eJrly Christianity.

When Jesus called,set part,or ordained the 12 :1nd the 70;that consecra­tinn and dedicatinn was a single and unique type of self-giving,not a series of acts,nor one graded according to the nature of the service. Apostles,prophets, teachers,evangelists,pastors,and healers--all received identical ordination, The later orders nf priests,bishnps,archbishops,metropolitans,patriarchs, cardinals ,and popes we re the result of political evolution, influenced by the R'"'man government: nf the Caesars,and the Hebrew Temple priesthood, The priest as media t0r, middleman between God and the believer ,commissioned by G'"'d tn '"'ffer up a real sac rifice--did nnt exist in the service of the early Chris­

tian Church. The Pilgrims came tn America without a Minister because of the

Anglican Ecclesiastical-R0yal "ban'; and f0r many months were a lay-minis­

5.Unity in Religion: Never apprnving creedal and ceremonial uniformity, nr a regimented prngram,they have ever sh,1red the spirit of 'unsectarian' unity.

6.Prr,gress in Religion: As the Sun brings new light every day,so their faith must grr,w in "light and truth' and ever be dynamic,organic,and atomic in spirit,in pnwer,and destiny. The lightning flash came to their souls from Jesus.

THE CONVICTIONS OF PILGRIM FAITH 1. Tn God Direct (Directly~.: We go to God in prayer,directly taking our

burdens• We believe in the Universal Priesthood oi all believers. We have no ecclesiastical father cnnfessor to penalize regarding our misdeeds.

2. To An Open Bible: We always read, uncle r stand,and interpret the Bible as more Light and Truth illumine the same. We have no chained Bible in a dead language ,censored by a dictatorial ecclesiastical council,or a commanding priest.

3. To a State Free Church: We desire:the separation of Church and State; religious toleration and tnlerance. We need no merger of State and Church,dom­ina ted by a theologic. l inquisition,a book-burning index,and a control of civic political ~fficials.

4. To Reality From Mystery: We seek the creative spiritual value:-the building nf the Kingdom of God on earth in all hearts. We preserve no martyr­bones or saintly bodies under an altar,or officiate at costly services for those

Jesus tn achieve His Way nf Life;nnt the philosnphy of Ambrose,Ignatius, Luther, Calvin, Camp be 11, n r Pa trick. Jesus is the Supreme Leader of the Pilgrim Faith.

The Pilgrim Spirit cnmprises: The lviayflnwer Compact the T0wn Meeting, the C0lnnial Church, the New England Conscience, a Church as br,,ad as Christendom, interdenominational not sectarian in spirit.

Pilgrim Exiles in Holland and America we re ably describes in 1835 by James Thacher in his @History of the Town of Plymouth.

" It was in the reigns of Queen Elizabeth.,King James, and Charles the First,that the wicked domination of tyranny and oppression both in Church and State,had become so intolerable,that a portion of their subjects •.• were compelled to abandon the soil of their fathers,and subject themselves to the miserable condition of exiles in :, foreign land.''

PASTOR JOHN ROBINSON

The Supreme Spiritual Apnstle of the Free,Independent,Separatist, N 1·m-Crrnf0rmist,Lncal,C,..,ngregatinnal Church: Jnhn Robinsnn was the Asso­ciate Pastnr nf the famnus Free Church nf Scrooby,England,meeting in the Mannr of William Brewster;the Pastor of the Church being Pastor Richard Clyftnn. Jnhn Robinson was later exiled to Holland,being called as the sole Pastor of the Free Church nf Leyden,his lay associate and religious teacher being Elder William Brewster.

Althnugh Pastnr John Robinson was forbidden by the English Ki!lg and the Anglican Archbishop to sail with the Pilgrims on the Mayflower in 1620 for the New Wnrld,he was the absentee Pastor of the Free Church in Plymouth, Massachusetts;the acting unordained lay Minister being Elder William Brew­ster,who served in every pastoral capacity,save that of officiating at the Sacrament of Communion.

John Robinson was a graduate of the University of Cambridge;a member of the social class, the Gentry;a great preacher ;a keen theological writer; a noble pastor'and a loyal,personal Friend. His outstanding theological master­piece is: "A Justification of Separation from the Church of England!'

Governor William Bradford,of Plymouth Colony,Massachusetts,a pro­tege of Elder William Brewster,and a member of the Free Church of Leyden, Holland,and nne nf the Mayflnwer Pilgrims,portrayed this citation of Pastor Jnhn Robinsnn:

• 'Mr. Jnhn Rribinson w;is Pastor of that famous Church of Ley­den,in Hnlland. He was a man learned and of solid judgment, of a quick and sharp wit, nf a tender conscience, and very sincere in all his ways •••• very cnurtenus, affable, and snciable in his conservation ••• was ever desirous of any light ( in Christian Faith ),very profitable in his ministry, and comfortable tn his people. He was rnuch belnved of them, and as loving was he unto them. He was much esteemed and reverenced nf all that knew him."

Pastor Jnhn Rnbinson knelt in a Farewell Pastoral Prayer with the Leyden Pilgrim s,about tn sail from De 1ft, Holland, on the ship Sp~edwell. This vessel after leaving England,became unseaworthy,returning to port, and the Mayflower received all Pilgrim passengers, a goodly number not sailing because nf lack nf accommodation for more than 102. Pastor John Robinson and Elder William Brewster were the Guiding Spirits of the Pil­grims from Plymnuth,England to Plymouth,Massachusetts,in 1620,and for n1any later years.

THG RlSE,GROWTH,AND ACHIEVi:-..:MENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The urgent quest for a direct ocean highway to India fron1 Europe un­veiled a new world,the central portion of which was destined to become the Unites States of America. A dream of gold,adventure,trade,colonies,religious, social,economic and p0litical freedom, stimulated Spanish,French,Dutch, Swedish,and English pinneers to explore and occupy North America. The Eng­lish genius for permanent cnlonization,founded thirteen Atlantic seaboard settlemr.nts,cnmpnsed of th0se seeking economic opportunity and religious freedon1.

The unrestrained spirit of the New World gradually weaned away the cnlnnists from 01d Wnrld traditinns,and resenting overseas supervision,es­pecially in the realm of taxatinn,their independence was won from Mother Cnuntry J:::ngland,after a prolf1nged revolutionary conflict, with substantial aid fr0m the French.

The American Cnrnmande r ,George Washington,became ,by election, the first president of the new republic nf thirteen united states,directing the af­fairs of state under a cnnstitution ,which provided a government of three de­partments;executive,legislative,and judicial;specific supreme powers ild«.nin­istered by the central or federal government;and other powers were allocated to the states.

Purchase, state ce ssion,exploration,annexation,conflict,and treaty ,en­abled emigrants by canalboat and covered wagon,to push back the frontiers to the Pacific Coast;conquering forest,swamp,beast and savage;leaving farm, ranch,and town in their train. Later,homestead laws,railways,and irrigation projects wooed an influx of hardy European immigrants to settle the virgin soil and build new communities. Further European colonization and interven­tion in other parts of the New World were sumn1arily and permanently checked by a maxim ennunciated by President James Monroe that •· We should con­sider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hen1isphere as dan~erous to our peace and safety.••

Meanwhile the slave labor system,dominating the cotton and tobacco plantations 0f the Southland,festered into a sanguinary four years of civil conflict, which was w0n by the North,afte r tremendous mutual losses,Pre sident Abraham Lincnln,and General U.S.Grant,being the leaders in the cause to pre­serve the Uni0n plus the amendment to emancipate the slaves. A period of tragic rec0nstruction f0llowed,which only the industrial progress of later decades has erased. American inventive genius forged the re-united nation into the fnrefront,0f business world-power.

In crushing Spanish tyranny, through conflict, the United States becan1e a world colnnial power,by the acquisition of Porto Rico,Guam,and the Philippines; independent Hawaii having been annexed by request,and Alasks some decades pre­viously,by purchase from Russia. The Republic of Panania granted the United States jurisdiction over the Zone boW1ding the Panama Canal,a major engineer­ing prnject, W1iting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.,

The United States entereJ the World War I on the side of the Allied Powers to wipe out military ;1utncracy,to protect the lives of An1ericans,to conserve the rights of snia.11 nations;inheriting post-war problems of agricultural and indus­trial deflation, settlement ot w;i r debts,and reparations ,and the social experiment of alcoholic prohi],ition.

World War 2 ,endeavored, through a 'cold war ;of sabotage, spy-work, military secret plans,thefts,dishonest camouflage and propaganda;to force Communism upon America and the entire world. The cold conflict between the Free World Dernocracies,the United States being the leading rnernber,and the Enslaved Peoples F~1ke Dernncracies,Russia being the supreme controller:has divided the world intn two pnwerful oppnnents:America and Russia. This ideological cold war became quite blnody and hot in Korea,becoming a stale-mate 'loss' for America and the 'United Natinns' of I\ew York City,because of politically dominated-strategy f rnm Washington.

Uncle Sam fnr a gond many years has become a Santa Claus for national grnups as well as fnr 'free' international groups. The Federal Governn,ent has been most paternal in un;:ie rgi rding power p rnjects,agricultural product sub­sidie s,and states aid. The negrn anti-segregation quest made national strides thrnugh a Supreme Cnurt ruling.

Amnng the outstanding achievements of the United States are:the creation of a democratic,political,and racial unity out of a diversity and variety of peoples and races; the development of a universal education through school, press,library,theatre,radin,and television; the increasing freedom granted t.o women; the spirit of religious toleration; the opportunity to make the most of one's talents; and the high standard of living,and noble ideals of life.

SAINT OSWALD

A prince of Nnrthu.mbria,one of the seven sons of King Aethelfrith, was educated at the Christian Iona Mission. During his nine year reign as King ,he adm inis te red a splendid, poor re lief program ,constructed Christian Churches and Monasteries.hoping that all his subjects would accept the Christian Way of Life.

Oswald was enshrined as Saint of the Dunham-on-Trent Parish Church after the Protestant Reforrnation,the Church having been dedicated in Pre-Reformation days:S.S.Peter and Paul.

THE TOWN OF DUNHAM-ON-TRENT

This English village is located on the west bank of the Trent River, thirty miles from Nottingham. The Danes in the 9th century swooped down upon the Trent region,plunderingly raiding the communities. In 1066, William the Conqueror achieved a conquest of the Trent area,and in the survey Domesday Book of 1086 A.D •.. Manor in Dunham is so recorded for taxation purposes. The first recorded owner of Dunham Manor is King Edward the Confessor {1041-1066).

PLYMOUTH AND PLYMPTON,MASSACHUSETTS

Plymouth is the first home of the Mayflower Pilgrims of 1620,in the New World,and a precinct of Plymouth, June 4,170 7, was established as the town of Plympton. The Plymouth setting was not an unknown first discovery of the Pil­grim s,and the Welsh Captain Jones of the Mayflower. Bartholomew Gosnold, first discovered it,May 15,1602,bestowing the name of Cape Cod Harbour,because of the many codfish in the waters. When Henry Hudson anchored here,August 3, 1609,his men found wild grapes and roses ashore,he named the region New Hol­land, the extremity being called White Point,du~ to the glaring sandhills. Then in 1614,Captain John Smith of Virginia,surveyed in region,describing the harbour as "sickle-shaped." ln 1616 he published his rnap of New England,calling the har­bour Plymouth since is resembled the harbour of Plymouth,England. The Pil­grims either accepted Smith's harbour title,or christened it Plymouth because of the kind farewell at their last English port,Plymouth.

This New Plymouth, with harbour,sandy beach,predominant hill or sand­dune,and a landscape of low,gnarly pines,a~ing oaks,acorns aground,sassafras bushes, walnut,ash, beech,birc h trees, groWld herbs and berries: strawberry, rasp­berry, yarrow, sorrel,live rwort, wa terc res s,leeks, onions ,and 'Rild c:ucks and geese in nearby fresh water ponds. An inland exploration revealed Indian corn­fields, with assembled seed for future cultivation, graves ,deserted Indian round huts with the 'remains' of venison,broiled herring,eagles claws,tobacco seed, wooden dishes and trays,crab shell and fiber baskets,heavy mats,and earthen pots, In the brush was found an Indian white birch-bark canoe,ribbed with white cedar,and sewed with fine roots. Then a deer-trap of Indian technique was dis­covered. These forests provided the timber for their Cornmon Meeting House, hill fortress,and family homes of English styled,wattle and daub construction crowned by steep,thatched roofs. The street line was· laid out,first known as "The Street "then "Broad Street" and later "Famous Leyden Street."

The Andrus-Gray Family ancestor in Plymouth was Elder William Brew­ster of Scrooby-Leyden fame;the Perry-Dunham Family ancestor was Mr.Rich­ard Warren of London-Mayflower 1620. Elder Wm Brewster and Deacon John Dunham were from Scrooby and Leyden,whose son Joseph married Mercy Morton whose parents were froni Leyden.

Plyrnpton was created from a precinct of Plymouth,the Free Church or-ganized October 1698,and the town incorporated in 1707. A Joseph DW1ham was a

"first" member of the church. The DW1ha1n Families resident in Plympton were: I:.:leaz.,r, Israel,Ebenezer ,Sr.and Ebenezer, Jr.our American Revolutionary War ancestor who married Sarah Chase at Plyrnpton in 1785,later moving to Vermont. Other Plympton Revolutionary War veterans were:Sylvanus Dunha1n, John Dunham, Silas Dunham,Simeon Dunham,Asa Dunhan1,Israel Dunham,Elijah DWlham,and James Dunham,Jr. Plymouth and Plympton were the two first New World resi­dences of the Dunham Family.

DEACON JOHN DUNHAM (The Separatist, Independent,Non-Conformis t, Congregational, Pilgrim, Exile)

John Dunham was born in Scrooby,England in 1588-89,and his personal religious friend,Elder William Brewster, was born in the same village in 1560. The Scrnoby Separatist Church met in the Brewster Manor home under the spiritual leadership nf the Reverend Rich:1rd Clyfton and later the associate the Reverend John Rnbinson. At about the age of fourteen John Dunham became the prntege of William Brewster,and it is believed that he united with the Scrooby Church. When because nf Anglican religious persecution fomented by ecclesias­tics and royalty,the Scronby Separatists and those frorn other communities, in 1607 attempted to sail as exiles to Holland but British officials 'arrested' the tour,and it is thought that Jnhn Dunham was one of the seven imprisoned because nf that quest for overseas asylum. In 1608 a successful North Sea journey created the Separatise Community and Free Local Church in Leyden, Holland.,the spiritual leadership being Pastor John Robinson,the teacher Elder William Brewster,and Jnhn Dunham became a member of the Separatist Church.

Since the Separatist English farmers were economically forced to be­come city mechanics in Leyden, William Bradford was a fustian-weaver, William Brewster a master-printer,and John Dunham a weaver. John married Susan Kenney and their children were: John,Htunility and Thomas. His wife passed away,and he married Abigail Barlow in October 1622.

The English Pilgrim exiles decided to transfer their residence from Holland to the New World: to continue their spiritual mission for religious freedom and toleration;to return to agricultural vocations;to retain their Eng­lish customs; to preserve an English not a Continental Sabbath; to eliminate the urban moral and commercial problems of their youth;and to achieve a more prosperous way of life for the Separatist community. Governor Bradford,Elder William Brewster,and Deacon John Dunham were the only members of the Scrooby Separatist Church,also members of the Pilgrim Separatist Church of

Plymouth,Mass.

Tradition records that John Dunham and family emigrated from Lancashire,England to America,1630-31 on the vessel "Hope!' In Plymouth Cnlony it is reported that Jnhn Dunham was taxed nine shillings for military

purpnses in 1632.

Plymouth was incorporated in 1633,the town bounds being fixed. In the same year John Dunham was chosen to become a Deacon in the Plymouth Church

a spiritual career the rest of his life,thirty five years from 1633 to 1668. The Governor and Council of Plymouth chose John Dunham in 1638 to be a Deputy of the Colony, which he se rv,id a various times for a civic career of seventeen years;representing Plymouth Colony in the General Court.

The Governor and Council appointed John Dunham to serve on the following committees: To consider trade.

To enact laws. To view land. To lay-out a highway for cattle. To consider war against the Indians. To meet at Connecticut relative to the Confederation

of United Colnn~es. The Plymouth Colony Records appreciate John Dunham: "He was a

man of strict honesty and sterling character,quite prominent in the growth and prnsperity of the Cnlony."

Deacnn John Dunham's home and farm were southwest of Plymouth Village. West of his land was the Slaughter House Pond Swarnp,with an outlet to Town Brnok,the outlet called Dunham Brook. Dunham's land-strip separa­ting Billington Sea frnm Little Pond is called Dunham Neck.

He further served nn many juries,grand juries,and coroners jury. Dartmouth was purchased in March 1652,consisting of thirty-four shares. Several of the subscribers were:

Governor William Bradford ••• one sh;c: re. Captain Myles Standish ••••••••• one share. John Alden ......................... one share. John Dunham ...................... one share. George Morton •••••••••..••...•••. one share. Thon1as Morton •....•••••••..••••• one share.

When Deacon John Dunham passed away,March 2,1668,the Plymouth Colony records his service: "He was an approved servant of God and useful man in his place, being a Deacon in the Church at Plymouth."

WINDSOR COUNTY, VERMONT The Towns: Royalton: :Barnard

Windsor County in Southern Vermont,given boundaries in 1797,is 48 miles long, 30 miles wide ,comprises 900 square mile s,and populated by 24 towns. Two of these towns,Royalton and Barnard,are of special significance because the Dunham,Billings,and Kenney Families were residents,later removing to Northern Vermont,Northwestern Iowa,and Connecticut.

Royalton the hill town with an altitude of 510 feet has one of its hills or peaks christened "The Elephant." The White River about 60 miles in length flows through the town. It was chartered Nove rnber 13,176 9, with the stipulation that within three years or by November 13,1772,thirty families must there be settled,and there must be 900 acres under cultivation in the township. Within three years possibly only a dozen families migrated there,the first family ar­rived September 30 ,1771,and within twenty miles only 1768 acres had been culti­vated. The Vermont charter for Royalton was presented December 20,1781.

Ebenezer Dunharn,in the first census of the United States in 1790, is re­corded as the head of a Royalton family,with wife,2 daughters and no sons.Jesse Dunham,his brother,is listed as a family head,with wife,2 sons and 2 daughters. Ebenezer a farn1er and Veteran of the An1erican Revolutionary War,and Jesse a shoemaker were from Plympton,Mass.,the sons of Ebenezer Dunham,Sr.Jesse came to Vermont in the 1780's,located first in Barnard,and then moved to Royal­ton. Ebenezer,Jr. married Sarah (Sally) Chase in Plympton in 1785,listed in the Royalton 1790 U .S.census where they lived until 1811, removing to Enosburgh, Northern Vermont. In Royalton Ebenezer's son Ira was born in 1795. Also in the 1790 census, John Billings is recorded with wife,one son under 16,two over 16, and two daughters.

Barnard is based upon the Delectable chain of hills or mount.a.in peaks, the highest Bull Hill elevation is a little below that of a northern peak,2460 feet. Locus Creek is the fundamental town stream drainage. The area was originally a hilly forest of hemlock,birch,beech and maple trees. Thomas Freemanthe first permanent settler arrived in March 1775,began the transformation of forest into ;· farm community.several years later,the settlers needed and built a saw mill and grist mill. Barnard was chartered July 17 ,1761,being named Bernard,honor­ing Sir. Francis Bernard,Governor of Mass.,Bay Province.A town clerk mis­wrote the town as Barna rd, the change never corrected. The town is 6 miles North and South,and 6 miles East and West.

The Billings Family residents:Gideon Billings,Sr.son Gideon Billings,Jr. Methodist Minister who married Hannah Stearns Kenney,daughter of Zurishaddai Kenney and Rachel Belding Kenney. Their children: Maryj.Ellen A.Albert and Louisa who married in Uarnard,Almon Smith Dunharn,later migrating to Onawa, Iowa. Jesse Kenney shortly after his marriage in 1776,moved to Barnard,his son being z urishaddai and granddaughter Hannah Stearns Kenney, wife of G.Billings, Jr.j

FRANKLIN COUNTY, VERMONT The Towns: Enos burgh: :Richford: :Montgomery

Franklin County in Northern Vermont, is a composite of comparatively smooth areas,hilly regions,and Green Mountain heights such as Jay Peak. The principal water courses are: the Missisquoi River,the principal tributaries being,Black Creek, Tyler's Branch,and Trout River;the second water course is the La Moille River. The county is 34 miles from east to west, 33 miles from north to south,an area of 600 square miles.

The Enosburgh grant and charter were made in 1780,and the first settle­ment was born in 1796. Governor Chittenden of Vermont named Enosburgh in honor of its chief proprietor,Major-General Roger Enos,Commander of Vermont Militia. The Missisquoi River and Tyler's Branch provide abundant water-power for manufacturing purposes. The eastern part of the town lies upon a Green Mountain spur, while the central and western sections are more level. The timber is maple,productive of many pounds or gallons of maple-sugar. Generally the soil is adapted to the growth of grass rather than grain. The Revolutionary War veteran E..benezer Dunham,emigrated to Enosburgh from Royalton in 1811,where his wife,Sarah (Sally) Chase Dunham,passed away,May 5,1825,where he married Hannah Lawrence,September 6,1825,and where he died January 28,1836.

Richford was chartered by Vermont,March 13,1780,to Jonathan Wells and 59 associates, the first settlement being made in the spring of 1795. "Their (the pioneers) first care was to construct a shelter for themselves and families. This they did by slashing the trees and covering them with boughs and blankets. Then they cleared and burned the smaller trees,and converted the ground between the larger trees into cornfields. There they grew their corn,usually good crops, and as there were no mills accessible for grinding,they converted some of the larijer trees into mortars for pounding or grinding their grain."The timber is hemlock,beech,spruce ,basswood,birch,ash,and maple, with the resultant maple­sugar. Stock-raising and dairying dominate rather than grain raising. Ira Dunham son of Ebenezer Dunham came to reside in Richford,where his son Almon Smith Dunham,was born in 1828,his mother was Cynthia Fay Dunham.

Montgomer·y was granted,March 13,1780,by Vermont,to S.R.Bradley and associates,the charter being received,October 8,1789,and the first settler arrived in the spring of 1793. Part of the surface of this mountainous town is rugged and broken, the chief summit,being Jay Peak,at the altitude of 4,018 feet. The region is valuable both as a farming and grazing territory for herds and flocks. Ira Dun­ham removed from Richford to Montgomery where he engaged in the mid 1850's in the sash and door manufacturing business,his carpenter son,Almon Smith Dun­ham,being a partner in the Hrm. In 1853 Almon married Louisa Rachel Billings of Barnard,and their first child was born in Montgomery in 1854, Mary Abbie Dunham. The second child, William Forrester Dunham, was born in 1857,in Bar­nard, while Almon was making arrangements to emigrate to Onawa,Iowa. = 29:.:

This metropolitan and cosmoJX)litan city of Northeastern Illinois, from the pre-Civil War era,and especially in the 1880's, has been the home of the Powell, Dunham and related families. These Family relatives are: Moses W.

The basic vocations of these families are:composition roofing business,pharmacy,Stock Exchange, Federal Building and Banking Service. The Church affiliations a re: Cong re ga tional, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Christian (Disciples of Christ).

The Phoenix is the spirit of Chicago and the University of Chicago: the sac red bird of Eyptian mythology ,flying every five hundred years to Heliopolis, Egypt, burns itself on the altar, then rises young and beautiful from its ashes. A windy,smelly,muddy,swampy, pioneer settlement.its river dubbed by the Indians the "Checagou," or "River of the White Onion, "and an Indian scalp-massacre to erase all whites from the region forever;the foundation was cert:tinly ashen.

Then there was a great speculative real estate boom,and the going and growing town was christened Urbs in Horto,a city in a garden. But a national de­pression exploded the boom,and the garden niotto was dropped. The pioneer critics rated Chicago as a miserable swamp village,a place to be left to frogs, an impossible harbor because the river's mouth was choked by a sand-bar,and a mediocre town of cheap wooden shanties. There were the pioneer appreciators who appraised Chicago as a name that meant something great or strong.a splendid, growing trading and shipping centre, for retail and whole sale merchandise, since it was the center of north and south water traffic and east and west land traffic, it was destined to become the hub of the continent. Before there was a realization of these values.the city was virtually cremated by a terrible fire. Speedily the Phoenix Spirit of Chicago gloriously resurrected the ashen remains.

We ,Chicagoans ,are justly proud of our metropolis: the hub of railroads and air lines.the grain ,1nd meat packing center.the leading mail-order houses,W.G.N. the Chicago Tribune.the Park Systern,th~

TH£ DUNHAM ANCESTRAL AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL CITATION Chester Gray Dunham

Chester Gray Dunham was born in Chicago,Illinois on February 11,1923,the son of Thelma G. Dunham and Chester F. Dunham.

Three influences molded his character and established his ideals. Most im­portant of these influences was his home which was the center not only of the family but also of the church of which his father was minister. His father ap­peared to him as an intellectual eminence surrounded by an eddying sea of diver­gent and often clashing personalities. His mother understood his father with her heart and sought to mediate between him and the surrounding sea of humanity. The' thoughts,feelings,and attitudes expressed in the atmosphere of his homes and the examples set by his parents probably are the main elements which shaped his character.

A second influence was his elementary and secondary schooling in the Toledo public schools, His teachers and fellow students at Harvard,Newbury,and Libbey taught hi1.i how to live with other people of his own age as well as how to read and write. Nevertheless,probably because of the stimulating and adult influence of his home,he never felt that he was an integral part of the school milieu which,to him, was of far less consequence than his home.

A third influence was travel,particularly travel to foreign countries. The idea of "going places;• meeting people,and doing things" early became fixed in his 1nind mind as an almost essential part of life. Plane,train,and automobile trips to Chicago,Detroit,Fostoria,and Cleveland eventually asswned the aspect of peri­odic pilgrimages, Finally,his childhood travelling came to a magnificent climax when the family visited the Mediterranean area in 1939,cruised around the world in 1940,and vacationed in the Caribbean area in 1941. Sverywhere that the Dun-ham family visited,the father browsed in book shops,inspected architectural achievements ,and sampled exotic foods;the mother especially observed the life and dress of the people in the various areas. These travels undoubtedly consti­tuted a strong third influence.

Ry the time Dunhat11 entered Oberlin College in September 1941,his basic character,ideals,and interests had been formed,but the manner of working toward his ideals and of expressing his interests had yet to be determined. From 1941 until 1943 and from 1946 until 1948 through the teachers and students at Oberlin he gained an introduction to the great thoughts and achievernents of mankind. The lihera 1, uncle rgraduate Oberlin education continued on a more intensive scale the intellectual activity already begun in early childhood within the family. circle.

From l q43 until 1946 and again during U1e fir st half of 1949 Dunham served in the Army,learned much about military organL,;ation and about the role of mili­tary power in international relations,and a)~ain travelled extensively in the United States and l::urope.

Throu~10ut the year 1'148 during grrlduate studies in internation.11 relations 42

at Colulllbia University, Dunham wrestled with the question of an academic life of research and reflection versus a life of action and service among men. There was never any doubt in his mind,however, that his life would be concerned with the relations among the peoples and regions of the world. Finally, in the light of the serious international problems of 1948, he decided that he could be true to his ideals only if he chose the life of activity and service.

In June, 1949 Dunhalll believed that he had at last arrived at the threshold of the most suitable career for a person of his experience and aspirations: he joined the U.S. Foreign Service and was assigned to Austria as a vice consul.

First, in Austria,and,later,in Algeria,he discharged various responsibili­ties connected with the Foreign Service, and his conviction grew that his decis­ions of 1948 and 1949 had been correct. Still, he was always aware that he need­ed something beyond his chosen career by which to make his life complete and "bundant.

On September 13,1955,faced with a sudden and unexpected assignment to the Gold Coast--seemingly a tropical Siberia--Dunham realized that he needed to share his life with a wife and that he needed to share her life. Only thus could his life be truly happy. Furthermore, he simultaneously realized that the only person with whom he would care to share his life was Georgiana Powers, a friend of the family for rnany years. Finally, he realized that immediate action was essential. Fortunately both agreed on all points; they were married five days later by Dunham's father in Toledo; and several weeks afterwards they had settled down together in Accra, capital of the Gold Coast. With his marriage, Dunham made the most important and satisfying move since his birth, and he views the future with an eager optimism about himself, his family, and the world .

TH£ PONC.:RS ANCESTRAL AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL CITATION Georgiana Powers Dunham

Georgiana P. Dunham, born May 15,1928,is the daughter of George A. Powers and Elizabeth C. Powers.

Every family group wields its influence upon its members and so my father,mother,grandfather,three sisters,and Irene influenced my personality and character. Ours was a helter skelter off schedule living,but the understanding, love and warmth provided by my parents and grandfather gave a sense of securi­ty and well-being that is rare in families. My father was temperamental,warm, and affectionate and never did we doubt the love he had for us equally. Mother was calm,understanding,and unusually generous. My parents loved to entertain, were active in the church and in the community and gave us the opportunity to meet and get along with people of all ages. Irene,who worked and lived with us, was truly a lllember of the family and her Hungarian background had an influence which is still apparent in my tastes and attitudes. Papa,rny grandfather,was al­ways the same and to us children was a rock of security and peace. Being the third of four girls,my way in school and community was often opened up to me with little effort on rny part. New situations seemed familiar to me bee.tu.Se of the experiences my older sisters shared with me and this undoubtedly affected my attitude toward new fields of endeavor.

Beverly, Toledo Museum of Art,Harvard,and Libbey Schools offered good teachers and well-rounded group activities. They undoubtedly influenced my attitudes and interest in learning. Miami University offered freedom and indepen­dence and the knowledge that one could live successfully without the protecting influences of home,and family. Miami also gave me the realization that life doesn't come to a person without cultivation on the person':s part. My under­graduate training was completed at Toledo University in education. Some grad­uate work was completed at Wayne University while I was teaching at Highland Park Junior College.

Illness in the summer between the sixth and seventh grades inhibited what little interest I had ever had in sports. I was never a natural or a very successful athlete. Walking up the Maumee River was a favorite swnmer occupa­tion. I shared my family's interest in books. Childhood summers were spiced with visits to friends' homes out of Toledo and family vacations at nearby lakes. Becoming a part of other families during those summer visits was an education in learning how to live successfully with strange groups.

Europe broadened most of all my perspective on life. Independent travel as well as travel with a group occupied the summer of 1953 through most of Europe. Another outstanding influence in my life was that of the church--more particularly the Dunham family. The spiritual guidance of Dr.Dunham and the warm friehdship with both Dr.and Mrs.Dunham often gave me the necessary courage for new ventures. = 77 ::

My lifetakes on a richer meaning in the sharing of experiences and of living with my husband,Chester Gray Dunham, My mind and heart and soul are fulfilled daily in every way and I feel complete,

........................................................................................................... YOUTH SUNDAY ADDRESS

Dorothy Powers Rice

YOUTH--what is it? It is looking ahead to what tomorrow will bring. Youth is based on the spirit more than the years. A person is young as long as he looks forward to what the future will bring. When his span of thought excludes the future and dwells only upon the memories of yesterday,he has become old.

We see new things that seem more wonderful than any other sight. We keep that air of expectancy ever about us. There are several questions which are uppermost in a youthful person's mind. For example--What are my most outstanding talents which I can improve upon to point that I can become a real help to the human race? What enjoyment can I bring to myself and others? What intriguing adventure lies so mysteriously ahead? Enthusiasm is not lack­ing in a youthful person. Energy comes from somewhere to plunge us into some­thing new and exciting. Our thoughts are ever progressive toward some goal. As we strive for this ideal,our lives are shaped. We bend our lives through chosen environments,friends,and activities, As we spell youth we find these

hidden meanings: Y is for the yearning for life which lies ahead. O is for the outer world toward which our steps are led.

U is for the unknown things which beckon us beyond. T is for the trust in self to reach our highest goal.

H is for the happiness which fills the Christ-like soul • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Thus Georgiana Powers Dunham is a descendant of the

Powers Family of South Ireland; and the Cosgray Family of North

Ireland; the allied German Families being: Kalb and Kuder.

THE POW ELL ANCESTRAL RESlDENCES IN THE OLD WORLD. WALES

The Powell Family lived in Llwyn-Du,Llanbrynmair,Machynlleth,and Aberystwyth,the first three in Montgomeryshire County,and the last in Cardigan­shire County. The Powell affiliated Families are:Morgan,Rowland,ap Howell, and Haverd. In 168Z the first distinctive Welsh settlement was founded in Pennsylvania, and in 1804 Cambria County,and in 1805 the town of Ebensburg in Cambria County, were created,where in about 1820 David Powell arrived from Wales.

There are 27 letters in the Welsh alphabet:a,b,c,ch,d,dd,e,f,g,ng,h,i,l,ll,rn, n,o,p,ph, r ,s, t, th, u, w, y.

Wales (Cymru,Givalia,Cambria) is the name given by the Teutonic invaders of England: (Walsch) meaning:' 'the territory of an alien race.'' Old English word: wealh means foreigner.

The Welsh Genealogy includes:probably Pre-Aryan,Pre-celtic Brython with Goidelic and Ivernian elements {barbarian),Celts,Saxon,Angle,Norman,not to omit the Roman. The Welsh possess "high spirit,energy,anirnation,courage,hospitality, ingenuousness,consideration,zealous attention and impressive welcome." They re­veal a ''temperament which is poetical,musical, reverential, religious,and good hearted." One summary description: "What the typical Welshman wants to believe he believ6 ... with intensity and what he does not want to believe,he denounces with equal intensity.'' His environment is mountainous or W1dulating beautified by the landscape of peaks,slopes,gorges,wild rocks,rapid torrents,vales and rivers.

David,the National Saint of Wales,an uncle of King Arthur,served for sixty years the Metropolitan See Chair of Wales as Archbishop. About 500 years after his death,Pope Calixtus II,canonized him.

Llwyn-Du, Wales. Tradition records this small rural village ten miles from Llanbrynmair as

the home of our first David Powell and possibly his wife Gwen Rowland,the parents of our David Powell of Cambria County,Pa.,Mary Morgan being his first wife.

Llanbrynrnair, Wales. This home is in a small mountain town in the Twymyn River Valley in

Montgomeryshire,about ten miles from Mc,chynlleth. The ancient Church of Saint Mary in this village is noted for a famous wooden tower. In the region are the picturesque Wynnstay Bridge,Pennant Waterfalls,and Tyisaf Lake.

Machynlleth Wales. Many of the Powell Family lives today in this example of Mediaeval Town

Planning,the seat of the Parliament of the famous Welsh Prince Owain Glyndwr,of 550 years ago.,the ancient royal house,the Memorial Clock Tower weekly markets, annual fairs,salmon fishing center,and gateway to a magnificent moorland vista.

Aberystwyth, Wales. Sea resort,castle remains,National Library and University,& mountain scenery.

THf·~ POW ELL ANC I:-..;STRAL CIT AT ION Elias D.Powell

I..:lias D.Powell was born in Pennsylvania,and spent his boyhood on a farm,near Colver and Ebensburg,Cambria County, His first non-farm work was that of a cooper,nr a barrel maker.

About the year 1860 he came to Chicago,and joined his brother Moses W .Powe 11 in the roofing business. Col.M. W .Powe 11 had established their business in 1847,and was still a pioneer in composition roofing. Elias entered his employ as a foreman and superintendent,and soon developed into an ex­pert roofer,who knew every angle of the business. 1n the Civil War in 1863, he enlisted in the PennysylvaniaB;1ttalion of Existing Emergency Volunteers.

In 1880 he became president of the Powell and Jones Roofing Company of Chicago,a partnership of twenty-five years. Then Elias returned to the M. W,Powell Company as its president. He was a sterling representative of the old school of gravel roofers--a picturesque and interesting character--a man who saw the composition roofing business at its beginnings,and its development to the modern methods of the present day. He was the donor to the Second Baptist Church of Chicagn,and the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society,the swn of $17,500,00.

THE HEISS-HISE-HICE FAMILY (Ancestors of Rachel Hice Powell)

A tentative theory suggests this American origin of the Heiss-Hise­Hice Family,either migrating from Germany or Switzerland. Further geneal­ogical research may approve,or modify or cancel this thesis. In America the spelling of the name has been changed many times: Heiss,Hise,Hice,Heise,Hais, Heis,Heiz,Heusz,Heisin,Heiszin,Heyss,Haeuss,Haise, nd Hies. The leading genealogist of West Berlin,Germany writes me:' 'Your grandmother apparently followed the custom of many families with German name within English speak­ing areas; when she, to avoid wrong articulation of her surnarne, like haze, using the spelling Hice."

The Atlantic liner, "Charming Nancy',' from Rotterdam,Holland,brought to America,October 8,173 7, the family of Hans Georg.Heiss (Hais), wife ,Dorothea Heiss (Hais), sons, Johan Heinrich Heiss (Hais),Hans Georg.Heiss (Hais) Jr;and daughters,Barbara Heiss (Hais),Catrina Heiss (Hais).

Not only has the Heiss surname been changed but also Christian names have been added or dropped,in ship records,church lists,and census reports.

The will of John George Heyss is dated December 31,1748,and names: wife,Anna Dorothea,grand-daughter,daughter of son Henry,son,George,and duaghter,Anna Catherina.

The will of Anna Dorothea Heiss is dated January 23,1760,and names: son,John George Heiss,son,Henry Heiss,daughter,Mary Catherine,and her daughter's husband,Elias Long.

Assembled at Sheriff Carnahan's ,10 August 1781,commanded by Col. Archibald Lnughry;marched via Washington,Penna,to Wheeling, Va. After a stay of about two days they went down the Ohio River in boats as far as a creek called Loughry's Creek,a few miles below the mouth of the Big Miami River. At this place, August 1781,about 110 men (many having deserted between Whee ling and this place) were attacked by a large number of Indians under the command of Simon Girty, George Girty ,and James Girty, and an Indian called Capt.Brant. The attack was made by the Indians from the shore just as much of the boats had touched for the purpose of landing. Thirty eight of the men were killed,and Col. Loughry was also killed by the Indians on the same day after he had berm taken prisoner."

"Those not killed,including George Hice, were taken to Shawnee towns on the Big Miami. Four days after he was taken prisoner he ran the gauntlet with several others. He was taken to Maumee towns where he was detained by the Indians for about a year,then taken to Detroit,given to the British and held prisoner for another 14 months;thence in an English vessel to Ft.Erie,thence to Montreal,3-.

THE FOWLER TRADITION (Ancestors of Rachael Fowler Hice)

Three British Fowler brothers emigrated from Great Britain to America in about 1633-37. One legend asserts that they were three Englishmen who settled in Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania. Another tradition declares that these three brothers were Scotch emigrants that sailed to the New World to New York, Pennsylvania, and Iowa. The first Fowler given names are: William, Henry, Jeremiah, and David. The first legend: William Fowler ( 1 ) New Haven, Conn.,a magistrate in 1637. The second legend: Henry Fowler ( 1) born about 1633,emigrated from London,England to Roxbur.y,Massachusetts,

Our ancestor,a William Fowler in August 24,1789,had his Horse Valley land surveyed,which was a stony land near a mountain in Letterkenny Township, Franklin County,Pennsylvania. He moved with his family to this farm-land in 1791. Assessment Records list his acres,150 in number, in 1791,1794,and 1796. He drew Depreciation Pay in the Continental Line recorded in the Pennsylvania Archives. He died in 1798,and Letters of Administration were issued to Archi­bald Fowler,April 20,1798,on the estate of William Fowler,Franklin County, Yeoman. Archibald Fowler and his brother William, sold the farm ,and moved to Indiana County,Pennsylvania.

THE GRAY TRADITION

Fulbert, the Chamberlain of Duke Robert of Normandy,is the Founder of the Grey Family. His residence was Croy Castle,in the town of Croy, Picardy,France. The name Croy was changed to Grey in England,and GRAY in Scotland. Paganus de Grey accompanied William the Conqueror in 1066 on his conquest to England. J. de Grey's name is on the Battle Abbey Roll. Auchitillus Grey is listed as a Doomsday tenant in Oxfordshire. Henry de Grey was a Holy Land Crusader with Richard the Lion-Hearted.

Lady Elizabeth Grey, the widow of Sir John Grey, married King Edward tht Fourth of England. The Duke of Suffolk of the Grey lineage, married Prin­.cess Mary, the daughter of King Henry the 7th, and widow of King Louis the 12th of France. Frances, the daughter of the Duke and Princess, married the Marquis of Dorset, Henry Grey, later the Duke of Suffolk. Jane, their daughter, later Lady Jane Grey, was Queen not only for a day, but for several days.

Earl Charles Grey was leader of the House of Commons, and Thomas Grey the poet, was the creator of "The Elegy." One hundred years from 1620 to 1720, twenty Gray (Grey) families emigrated to the New World. John and Thomas Gray purchased the Island of Nantasket from the Indians. There were many Gray patriots in the War of the American Revolution: five Gray brothers from New Jersey, as well as our Nathaniel Gray of Salem,New York, of the present Gray lineage, of Ohio. The Gray Family Men have been characterized as: ''men of stalwart stature, and commanding presence, courageous, natural leaders among men, with all lovers of peace, not given to self-assertion, mode st as we 11 as brave, re served rather than effusive.''

THE GRAY ANCESTRAL RESIDENCES IN THE OLD WORLD. Ar gyllshire ,Scotland.

Before 1612, the Gray Family lived in Argyllshire, the second largest county,on the west coast of North Scotland,an area of 1,990,472 land acres,of 35,311 'water' acres,a total of 3165 square miles. The chief towns are Campbeltown, Dunoon,and Oban. Other principal inhabitants are the Campbells,MacDougals, McArthurs,Macleans,Stewart,and MacDonalds. The leading rivers are the Orchy and the Awe, the mainland highest mountain being Ben Crua.chan,3689 feet high. The remaining forest trees are the Oak,Ash,Pine,and Birch. The inhabitants have been engaged in manufacturing whiskey,making gunpowder,producing coarse wool­lens,herring fishing,slate and granite quarrying,and coal mining.

These Highlands of Scotland gloriously portray some of the most beautiful, and wildest natural scenery of Britain; rivers, lakes, islands ,glens,and mountains. Inverary and other castles ennoble aesthetically the landscape. Argyllshire is de­

scribed as "for the most part mountainous---deeply indented by sea-lochs,and fringed with islands."

The region has been deemed unfit for general grain agriculture save for oats,and most fit for pasturage for mountain sheep and sturdy cattle.

Seeking a more prosperous livelihood,cheaper farm rentals.and a release from high taxes and forced tax for the State Church,of which the Presbyterians were not membe rs:the Gray and other Scottish Families sailed for North Ire land in 1612 where they located near Londonderry,in the province of Ulster.

Londonderry, Ire land.

The Gray Family and their friends from Scotland,ceased to be Scottish Highlanders,becoming Ulster Scotch-Irish,where they lived over a century until 1718. The original name of this county,town,and Protestant northern stronghold,is Derry,derived from Doire,the "place of oaks," The co1nmunity was created by Colurnba in 546 who founded here a Christian Monastery. The region comprises 522,315 ac res,and 816 square miles. The city is situated on an e rninence, rising 120 feet,the summit of the hill being the center of the community. The Walker monu­ment is a statue honoring the hero of the siege of Londonderry in 1689. This is one of the few walled cities in the United Kingdom,with cathedrals,castles,and colleges. Three outstanding products:linen shirts, salmon fishery ,and Derry cured ham and bacon. Excessive rainfall, unce rt:i in climate ,exorbitant fa rm rentals ,and the c oer­cive taxes for the State Church:made unfavourable a prosperous agriculture.

In 1718 the Gray Family and about one hundred other families emigrated from Londonderry to Boston,Mass.,the Grays moving on to Worcester,Mdss.,where they sought freedom from religious per secution,civil liberty ,and agricultural pros­perity. Even here,at first they were 'snubbed' as underprivileged "Irish."

THE GRAY FAMILY Ho1~1e: 1612-1718

JOHN GRAY

Jnhn Gray emigrated !rnm Lrrndonderry,Ireland to Worccstcr,Mass.in 1718. The populatirrn was two hundred dwelling in fifty cight,nnc-story log huts with large stnne-chimneys. A few adnrned their windows with "diamond glass" while the majnrity emplnyed oiled paper fnr "window lighting." John Gray re­ceived an assigned number r,f acres rin the land division.

At the Tnwn Meeting he was chnsen in 1722 ;ind 1724 to be a member of the Bf"lard f"lf Selectn1en,and nn several nccasinns tn be "se;dor of le;1thcr."

When the Massachusetts Indians went on the rampage aided by C:inadian. French allies,Wf"lrcester in 1722 prnvided five men to serve in Major Jnhn Ch,:nd­ler's Scnut Cf"lmpany ff"lr military tnwn defense and forest ranging. The two Scf"luts pnsted at Leicester were Jnhn Gr.:iy and Robert Crdwford.

Religirrns persecutinn was the basic reason which impelled the Gray Family,and many f'lthers tn leave Argylesltire,Scotland in 1612,to leave London­derry,Nf"lrth Ireland in 1718,and a minority 0f the Gray Family to leave Wor­cester,Mass. f0r Pelham,iviass.in 1739-40,

1. The Old Wnrld Cnnflict is described: "The descendants nf a colony of Scnts,rem0ved frf"lm Argyleshire,in the reign of James I,formed a plantation in the n0rth nf Ireland,near Lnndonderry,the pr0vince of Ulster. Adhering with conscientinus fidelity tn the Presbyterian tenets,they endure the persecution which pressed on the Protestants during successive reigns. The accession of William,although it lightened their burdens,did not relieve the dissenting Chris­tians from galling exactinns. Allowed to retain their form of worship, they were cnmpelled tn c0ntribute frnm their resources,to support another church. Loaded with the tythes of the harvests of lands held by tenancy under exorbitant rents, they embarked for a country where religious freedom was united with civil liberty;and neither tythingman nor taxgatherer had oppressive jurisdiction."*

2. The New World Problem is portrayed: "A company of Scots early settled in Worcester,and here suffered illiberal opposition,;ind even active hostility. Having fnrmed a religious society,they con1menced the erection of a meeting house ••• Inhabitants g:i the red tumultuously by night,and demolished the structure ... Differences nf language ,habits ,and ceremonial, laid the foundation of unreasnnable hatred,and the strangers were not treated with common decency by their English neighbnrs. Their settlements,in other places,were approached by bf"ldies nf armed men,and their prnperty,in some instances,wantonly destroyed. They were everywhere abused and mi~represented as Irish,a people then gener­ally but undeservedly nbnnxinus;a reproach peculiarly grievous to the emigrants • ... The jealousy with which they were first regarded,finally yielded to the in­fluence ,-,f their simple vi rues and sterling worth."** Histnry nf Wnrcester:Wm Lincriln {1862) * p.48, ** pp.48-49.

PELHAM,MASSACHUSETTS:THE 2ND NEW WORLD GRAY RESIDENCE.

A number of the members of the Gray Family remained in Worcester, Mass.,while others moved to Pelham.Mass. The Bicentennial Celebration:1743-1946 , rev ea led the basic values of this comm unity named after Lord Pelham. Elinor Genung Allen ably describes and evaluates this colonial village.

"Pelham is a hilly town ... climbs steeply over rocky ridges to the peak on Pelham Hill. A man who took his living from the land must have a will to work. And the men who brought Pelham into existence hat.! indeed some of its rock-ribbed sternness in their own stout hearts. These were Scotchmen living in Northern Ireland.on land the property of the British Crown. They had in them the hunger for acres for their own,rooted in their own way of life;and they looked at the New World across the water."

"These early settlers brought no great wealth to their new home,but they brought good Scotch thrift and they could work. Shiftlessness was some­thing they heartily disliked and they would have none of it in Pelham. They care­fully scrutinized all newcomers before permitting them to settle in the town,to make sure they were of a physical and moral stoutness likely to earn their own living and not become a charge on the community. And any who did not come up to the mark in this respect were marched to the town limits and urged to go elsewhere. They instituted the somewhat drastic custom of auctioning off to the highest bidder any man who found him self unable to meet his taxes, till he had worked them out. This might well discourage anyone who hoped to maintain himself at the expense of fellow citizens, Their thrift extended even to economy

, in names •• John Grey (Gray),William Johnson,James Taylor,James Hood. •.• They saw no reason to waste ink by inscribing long names on their records,or to bur­den their children with them. The founding spirit liked to be unencumbered."

"The urge for lrtnd ownership and self-government goes hand in hand with the desire for self-betternient. As early as 1744 the town voted that school be kept for two months ,one month in the home of Ephraim Cowa.n •. and one month in that of William Grey (Gray). By 1746 the school year had been increased to six months and the modest sum of 36 l. raised for its support."

John Gray ( l ) was born in North Ire land and died in Worcester. Mass. John Gray ( 2 ) was born in North Ireland and died in Pelham,Mass. John Gra.y ( 3) married Martha Savage in Pelham,Mass.,and their Revolution..iry Soldier son,Nathanie 1 Gray (4) was born in Pelham, Mass. ,enlisted in the Continental American Revolutionary Army in Salem,N. Y.,and died in Seville,Ohio.

"Though many names that were on the first Pelham records have ceased to appear,houses planned and built by the first comers still shelter happy families." The basic'Gray Towns' are:Worcester,Mass.,Pelh:1m,Mass., Salem ,New York.Seville ,Ohio.Medina, Ohio.and Fostoria ,Ohio.

SALl:::M, NEW YORK:THE 3RD NEW WORLD GRAY R I-.: S I D £ N C E.

Salem was founded hy two colonial emir~rant groups;one from New I::ni:land of Puritan-S<lxon stock;and the other from the Northern Irish Coast, of Celtic and Gaelic stock. Although our John Gray came from Pelham,Mass., ;ind is listed as ;i New England founding father,his folks came from Northern Ireland.to Worcester,l\,;ass., :ind then to Pclham,Mass.

The Salem Book of over sixty ye:1rs Jgo portrays the characteristics of Salem colonials. "HospiLdity, open-handed, large-hearted hospitality, an attribute .• as known among the Salemites of early years.stands prominently forth. The stranger within its gates never knew his lack. They hardly recognized the fact that they were strangers,so kindly were they received ••. we read of the patriotism and valor which entered so largely into the lives of the early settlers, and without which no colony could stand •... They were good; so good ... Coming as they did to a new country for the sake of religious liberty , battling with their might for the means of subsistence,striving against all manner of discourage­ments,required a strength of purpose and a faith, deep and abiding. Devotion to their God uncle r whatever c ire um stances seemed to have been the purpose of their lives." These traits described both New England and Irish Salemites.

Then the evaluation of Salem homesteads,furnitureand customs. "Travelers pushed on through the wilderness on horseback ... 'l'hen the rude hut, in the form of a dugout, was constructed •. After three years the hut was replaced by a fine log cabin ... The work of clearing the wilderness had commenced and it was gradually transformed into fruitful field.meadow and garden .•.

OBERLIN COLONY,INSTITUTE,COLLEGE Oberlin,Ohio, U.S.A.

Yankees from Vermont,Massachusetts,Connecticut,and New York com­missioned themselves to c.olonize,civilize,and Christianize the Western Fron­tier Dark Valley of moral waste and death, the forest wilderness in South-Cen­tral Russia Township,of Lorain County,Ohio. The Valley was a flat,glacial, swampy forest of muddy clay soil. Such a mission was publicized in 1831 by the pious hill-farmers of Royalton, Vermont.

The College (Institute) was founded in 1833,and the town incorporated in 1846,a religious-educational-agricultural community,based upon piety,morality, benevolence,thrift and economy. The masculine students labored on the farm of the school,while the feminine students worked in the college boarding-house:a school of learning and labor,of study and manual toil. It was named after a rural Alsatian minister,teacher,and philanthropist: Jean Frederic Oberlin.

The goal of Oberlin Institute, later transformed into a college, was to diffuse useful science,sound morality,and pure religion,for the folks of the Mississippi Valley,and the world,to educate ministers and teachers,to elevate the character of woman,and to educate the common people:the education of the whole man: body,heart and intellect.

The modern goal (general requirements and recommendations of the Fac­ulty of the College) listed seven main fields:

1. In a universe built up like materials which undergo like changes under like conditions, upon a tiny changing planet:: THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES.

2. Many forms of life have evolved,including man::THE BIOLOGICAL SC'S. 3. Man possesses a complex and highly integrated organization;:PSYCHOL­

OGY. 4. Living in society with other men,he tries to understand group life, to

adapt him self to it,and to mould it to his needs: THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. 5. He has achieved effective forms of thought and of communication of

thought::LANGUAGE::MATHEMATICS:::: LOGIC. 6. He learns to enjoy the beautiful,and,so far as he can,to create the

beautif.ul::LITERATURE::THE FINE ARTS::MUSIC. 7. He strives to understand the sum total of life,and to live with reference

thereto::PHILOSOPHY::RELIGION. The achievement of the original goal created many problems and instituted

numerous reforms. In the beginning,tobacco,tea,and coffee were barred. Then there must be a complete freedom of speech on all reform issues:the co-educa­tion of white men and women and negroes,missions for .Ainerican Indians,over­seas missions for all world heathen, Temperance and Prohibition,Pacificism VS War,Moral Reform and Civil Rights for Women,Abolitioniiun and Anti-Slavery of Negroes,Propaganda Literature,and Perfectionist Theology,or a revision of the Calvinistic Election and Depravity dog111as. :: 10 9 ==

This town in Northwestern Ohio from the Litter 1830's has been the home of the Gray and related families. These F,imily relatives ;ire: George Marshall Gray, Hannah Eliza Andrus Gray, Merton Brevier Gray, Allen Gordon Gr.iy, Marguerite Eliza Gray Holliday, James G. Gray, Thelm;i Mildred Gray Dunham, George Allen Gray, James Gordon Gray, Clar;i Jane Gray Stone, ThomJs Mer­ton Gray, Robert Allen Gray, David Marshall Gray, Richard Charles Gray, Florence Louise Olmsted Gr:1 y, Clara Teresa Wertz Gray, Ethe 1 Ludemann Gray, Ida Mary Fox Gray, Mary Louise Welly Gray, Nancy Ellen Cameron Gray,Ma·ry J;ine Gray, Susan Jane Gray.Charles Olmsted, Mabel M.Hale Olmsted.George Cameron, Alta Burdette Stearns Cameron, Emma Louise Wangler Welly,and Teresa Ellen Gray. The basic vocation of the Gray Family is printing and en­graving.and the Church affiliations ;1 re: Presbyterian, Methodist and Roman Catholic.

Fostoria w,1s originally in 1832,the twin villages of Rome and Risdon,both platted within a week of each other. The villages were "ni;, rried" July 14,1854, christened or re-n.1med Fostori;i,the patron Lither being Charles W.Foster, a me rch,tnt manager and later partner in his father's store, the mayor of Fos­toric1., the United States Congressman from the distri<:t, and the Governor of Ohio.

The town is considered the largest inland gr.,tin center in America,15,000 carloads of grain and grain products are shipped annually in and out of Fostoria. It is stdtioned by four railroads: The Nickel Plate, The Chespeake and Ohio, The New York Central,and The Baltimore and Ohio. The following outstanding factories were organized in the growing industrial community: The Mennel Co,

1887, The Gray Printing Co,1888, The National Carbon Co,189l, The Seneca Wire Co,1Q06, The Pressed Steel Co, 1916, The Machine and Tool Co,1919, The Auto Lite F'oundry,1923,and the Auto Lite Sparkplug Co,1936. Fostoria is loc;ited in Ohio 1..·ounties:Wood,Seneca and Hancock.

"During the Gas Room day:; of 1888, George M. Gray, (the founder of the Gray Printing Company) moved to Fostoria and built ._i srn.ill frame building at the corner of North and Cadwallader Streets (our present location). Every few years new equiprnent,new processes and new buildings have been added,now making The Gray Printing Company of Fostoria.Ohio, one of the most modern and com­plete Printing and Lithographic plants in the middle west,"writes President A. Gordon Gray.the second president of the cornp:rny,the first being his father George Marshall Gray. While the Gas Boom,the glass companies,;1nd the interurban rail­ways,inflated Fostoriil and then deflated the comlllunity through retirement,the Gray Printing Company remained bringing continued prosperity to Fostoria, the present one hundred ;-ind forty employees serve the printing needs of Ohio,and the nation.due primarily to the genealogicd Scotch-Irish integrity of the Founder,

his sons,employees and friends. ::: 112 --:

THE GREAT LAKES,LAKE ERIE,CATAWBA ISLAND,OTTAWA COUNTY,OHIO.

Catawba Island is the summer vacation home of the Gray Family in the Eagle Beach sub-division;and of the Dunham Family in the Catawba Orchard Beach sub-division. These lakeside recreational residences are enjoyable retreats for: swimming,fishing, rowing, sailing,canoeing, ,notor-boating, and an air-plane ride from isle to isle.

The Great Lakes: Superior,Michigan,Huron,Ontario,and Erie,are the greatest fresh water body in the world;greatest in size,history,commerce,industry, engineering,and beauty. There are 2000 Great Lake bo-its,800 cargo carriers,300 belonging to Canadian Companies. The ship fleets a re: grain,coal, stone ,ore ,oil, lurnber,motor car,farm machinery,and general merchandise 'distributors.' There are some passenger excursion vessels,and many pleasure yachts.

Lake Erie ,is the fourth in the size of Great Lakes,about 10,000 square miles in area,245 rniles long.the major width 65 miles,the minor width 28 miles, deepest soundings 210 feet.mean depth 90 feet,sornewhat larger than the tiny State of Vermont,and smaller than half the size of large Lake Michigan.Erie is the most dangerous of all five lakes:a shallow bowl,swift fierce storrns,and heavy ground swells;sending the ships,lives,and cargoes to Davy Jone's locker. Soil erosion losses are about $500,000 annually, some shores losing 20 feet a year,

The Battle of Lake Erie is the great American naval victory, the conquest of the British Fleet,September 10,1813,near the Island of Put-in-Bay. Co.nmodore Oliver Haza rd Perry, less than thirty years of age, sent his victory report to U.S. General William Henry Harrison: " we have met the enemy and they are ours-­two ships,two brigs,one schooner,and one sloop." The United States could now control the Great Lakes and the North West Territory.

Lake Erie is named after the Erie Indian Tribe,or Cat or Panther Nation, living on the south shores of Lake Erie,one of their 'towns' being Pique,near the site of Erie,Pa. The Erie Indians,although of Iroquoian stock,were not a member of the Iroquois Confederacy,were finally annihilated by the Iroquois in 1665,the remaining Erie Indians being absorbed by the Seneca Indians. The first white man on Lake Erie waters was Louis Jolliet in 1669. La Salle launched the first ship on Erie in 1679. The first steamboat "Walk-in-the-Water" appeared in 1818.

Lake Erie in pre-historic times was divided by a rocky ridge in the wes­tern region of the lake,fro1:1 the present site of C;:inadian Mount Pelee to the site of American Marblehead,Ohio. Centuries of grinding glacier,storrns,winds,and waves have skeletoniz.ed the ridge into a chain of lovely islands: Sister Islands, Bass Islands,Put-in-Bay,Kelley,and Cat;1wba. These twenty western Lake Erie isles we re dubbed frontier names: Ra tlle snake, Mouse ,Ballast,Sta.rve ,Green ,Gull, Sugar,Hen and Chickens. Now isle stepping stones instead of an ancient ridge.

= 115 =

Catawba Island lies between Lake Erie and the bed of the Portage River, originally cut off from the mainland by a marsh,but bridging and draining has made it part of the mainland. Although in a sense in a member of the island archi­pelago from Canada to Ohio,Catawba is really a low limestone point,or land jut­ting arm of a peninsula. The Catawba grape was discovered on the Catawba R:ver in North Carolina in 1802 ,and when it was introduced to the Lake Erie Islands in 1860,the name of this peninsula became Catawba, The Catawba Indians of North anu South Carolina were of the Siouan stock of American Indians,a population of 5000 in the 17th century,of 500 in 1780,and only 60 in 1907. Pontiac was of Catawba descent. The Catawba Island Indians were chiefly members of the Ottawa Tribe,which left for better hunting grounds in 1831. One squaw with seven papooses remained. On Sugar Rock is an Indian burial circular mound,about 15 feet high and over 50 feet in diam­eter. Fur robes,arrow-filled quivers,beads,dyed quills of porcupines,and feathers, glorified the remains in the sepulchre. Sugar Rock and Lookout Point are adorned by fascinating and mysteriuos caves which awed the Indians,.the largest being named Semomic,the most beautiful cave La Cloche,and another one Petite Cloche. A lake shore cliff portrays by Nature sculptor an Indian head war-feathered,named the Watcher, the Ottawa he ro,Nabagon, the eternal destiny guardian of Ca ta wba Island.

The first white Catawba settlers were French Canadian trappers,arriving there in 1795,and until 1840 there were very few permanent pioneers. The vocation­al symbols of the Island have been or are: fish, grape s,peache s,and stone. Fishing boats and nets,grape-vines,peach orchards,and stone quarries,have been greatly supplemented by summer ho mes for recreational vacationers.

Catawba Island and all sister isles we re great glade r cemeteries during the Ice Age,but the ice-carved glacial grooves are best preserved in the Ohio State Glacial Park on Kelley's Island,where some grooves are gouged into solid lime­stone rock 20 or more feet deep.

Gray Bowlder is the huge rock,also termed Boulder, that adorns the entrance of the Gray Summer residence,while huge ton-rocks wall the Lake Erie coast-line of the Dunham Summer home,to provide a Gibraltar-protection against erosion. The lake frontage of 225 feet includes five lake-side lots,and three highway lots, all beautified by decorative, fruit,and nut trees, grape vine s,be rry bus he s,and a gar­den. There is a Gingko,or Maidenhair tree,a sole survivor of early geologic times. Then the re are the birch trees: Cutleaf Weeping, European White ,and the Canoe or Paper Birch. The Purple or Copper and the American represent the Beech Family. There are Weeping and Corkscrew Willows.Fruit trees include:peach,pear,cherry, apricot,nectarine ,apple,crab apple and plum. Nut trees are:walnut,hazle-nut,pecan, and Chinese chestnut. The bushes are:witchhazel,strawberry and raspberry. There are also rows of Chinese Elms and Honeysuckle shrubs.

Catawba Island is an inspiring retreat for recreation, relaxation,and rest. The Dunham and Gray Families enjoy very much this annual super-experience,

TH£ ROOT TRADITION ''Reviresco''

The first records a re found in Ma re sfie ld,Sussex County ,England,and they go back as far as 15 76. At that time the name was spe lied ROOT ES. The evidence reveals Norman and Saxon ancestry.

In the year 163 5 ,at Salem, Mass, records are found of three or more brothers by the name of Roote. In 1640 John Roote came over from Badby, I...:ngland,a little village in Northamptonshire.and located in Farmington,Conn. John Roote and wife were of Puritan Stock,and were members of a Congrega­tinnal Church in Badby, ~ngland. They hud eight children.

John the nldest,was born in 1642,and was also the father of eight children. Caleb,nne nf these eight.had a family of five children. One of the five was named Samuel.and he was the father of seven.

1-:nns,nne nf these latter seven.had a family of nine. The names of these nine were: Mnses,Samuel, •:lizabeth,Levia,Chauncey,Elias,.t.:nos,Prindle, Benjamin.and Martha Delia.

The secnnd chi ld,Samue 1, was my g randfa the r (A. J .Root,compile r of these traditions) born in Waterbury.Conn.in 1810. He was the father of nine children: Martha,Julia,Philomela,Hannah,I...:mmeline,Samuel Homer ( my father) F:liz.a Rebecca.Sally Maria.Benjamin Edison,Mary,and Albert.

In 1870 it was estimated that there were 100,000 Roots and their descendants ,all coming from the stock given above.

The prevailing traits of the Roots: They are ,as a rule ,a devotional people ... a large number of deacons •. some ministers of the Gospel •.. Puritans of the straitest sect. They are Patriotic,many of them losing their lives in the Revolutionary War and in the late Rebellion. They are a good- sized peoples ,many of them quite athletic. They a re an agr.icultural people.

The whole line has been characterized for shrewdness,and noted especially for a strong anti-humbugativeness. Many of them are remarkable as mathematicians and musicians.

THr: ROOT ANCESTRAL CITATION Eliza Root Gray

Mrs.Gray appears in portrait and biography in the large volume entitled: "Prohibition Leaders. "Edited by B.F .Austin (1895) p.17.

Several of the other prominent leaders presented are: Susan B.Anthony, Anthony Comstock, The Hon.Neal Dow,Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips, the Rev.Anna H.Shaw,M.D.and Frances Elizabeth Willard.

"Mrs.Eliza (Root) Gray is the peer of any Ohio women in the peculiar characteristics which figure so largely in the make-up of a successful W.C. T.U. (Women's Christian Temperance Union) woman."

"She was born of sturdy New England ancestry,the second daughter of Samuel H.and Louisa Root. Her education began in the public school and has been supplemented by painstaking self-culture all her life. At 16 years of age she commenced teaching,but at 19,married James G.Gray,then an instructor in Folsom 's Commercial College of Cleveland,Ohio."

''She is the mother of three children. At the time of the Crusade,Mrs.Gray was living in Michigan,and engaged actively in the work there. Moving a little later to her present home,Medina,Ohio.,she has for eighteen years been prom­inently associated with the State W.C. T.U. work. She served as State Treasurer, three and one-half years,also holding the office of District or County President almost continuously.''

"She has been a most efficient superintendent of the Demorest contests in Ohio,and only retired recently on account of failing health. During all these years she has been a supporter of the Prohibition Party,bearing criticism and ostracism with a remarkable Christian spirit. With time and money at her disposal,she uses them for the advancement of the cause to which she has given

herself." Ernest Rob. Root

THE AMERICAN RESIDENCES OF RICHARD MARSHALL DUNHAM

COLUMBUS, OHIO

Dick and Nancy lived in Columbus near the Student Union building while Dick was completing some graduate studies and Nancy was finishing two years of undergraduate courses. Dick entered the Army at Fort Knox,and later he and Nancy established their residence at Eliza be thtown,Kentucky.

Columbus is the capitol of the State of Ohio, the seat of Franklin County, the home of Ohio State University, of the Ohio Penitentiary, of Fort Hayes of the United States Army Reservation, of the Ohio State Fair Grounds, and Camp Chase Civil War Confederate Cernetery,where 2,260 soldiers are enshrined. This site at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers,was platted in 1812, was n ,med Columbus by the State Legislature,February 22,1812., was made the Capitol in 1816, and was chartered or incorporated in 1834. The stately Capitol "mansions" portray the Greek Doric architectural style,costing two million,five hundred thousand dollars.

of the bloody battles between the Indian tribes on these hunting grounds. The Ken­tucky folks have been dubbed "Corn-crackers" referring to the common game bird species the Corncrake, with a peculiar cry ,frequenting the cornfields.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT Senior CL1ss Oration: June 1910, William McKinley High School,Chicago.

Chester F. Dunham,Orator

The viL11ity and progress of a nation depend largely upon the leaders produced during momentous events. The needs of a nation demand that it is as supremely necessary to produce great generals of peace as it is to produce great generals of war.

It was Washington's duty to free this nation from the cruel yoke of tyranny,and to found the republic.

It was Lincoln's duty to eradicate the existing evil of slavery,and to pre­serve and de fend the union.

It was Roosevelt's duty first to inaugurate the era of civic conscience,a mighty bloodless war which shook to the very foundation,the evils of capital and labor,of politiciil corruption,~md of machine politics;seond to raise the United States in nationc;tl dignity,honor,and prestige to a veritable world power,a nation respected and consulted in all international,rnilitary,commercial,industrial,and educational affairs.

Each president successfully and faithfully performed all the weighty problems that confronted him.

Although their experiences and tasks were vastly different,still,each ex­hibited the same trait of charactcr,the same essentials that make the master Amcrican:pure and lofty ideals,steadfast courage,marvelous strength,and prac­tical con1n10:1 sense.

Born in New York,two years before the Civil War,of a wealthy,aristo­cratic family,which traces an illustrious ancestry for more than eight generations, Theodore Roosevelt had two characteristic obstacles to overcome;ill health and an idle life of ease.

He soon fully realized that the men who accomplished great things,arc strong,healthy and vigorous hard workers. He first devoted himself to college athletics,then to ranch life,and then to hunting,with the result that he acquired the iron-clad constitution which serves him so well in his strenuous life of today.

Before completing his law course at Harvard,he made a careful and com­plete study of the government,and the needs and problems of his country,prcpara­tory for his chosen life's work- namely ~•to get into politics and serve the people."

We are all familiar to some extent with his spectacular rise of politics. While at times he may seem dramatic,still his underlying principles of unswer­ving honesty,purity of purpose,and inflexible courage instantly dispel all thoughts of inconstancy.

As a member of the New York State Assembly,he gained the leadership of the Republican minority party within two months and literally forced the Demo­crats to pass his measures because of the fear of an appeal to popular opinion.

= 14 r::

As Chairman of the Committee on Cities,he exposed,and reported the widely spread municipal corruption and succeeded in passing many reform bills.

As a Civil Service Commissioner,he considered the spoilsman as bad as the bribe-giver,and was thr most potent force in destroying the hated Spoils Sys­ten1.

As President of the New York Police Commission,he completely abol­ished all the evils left untouched by the Tweed reformation,pW1ishing the corrupt and rewarding the trustworthy. And so,one might examine every phase of his career;as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy,as the Rough-rider hero of San Juan,as the hunter of every beast of the field,as the author of numerous literary works,as Governor, Vice-Presidcnt,and President,and it may always truthfully be said that he never has failed. He perfor111s his duty without regard to anything but the interests of the people.

Theodore Roosevelt is a man of all energy,in the active voice,and present tense. He is an all round scholar,a conservator of public and private property,and the chief minister of peace in the civilized world. He is the workingman's friend and understands the requirements and needs of the people,and reaches conclu­sions with a deliberative yet wonderful rapidity.

Made President by an assassin's bullet,he entered upon the most difficult years of his life. He was preeminently instrumental in bringing the following great disputes to a successful close:-The Japanese Race Question,the Anthracite Coal Strike,the Venezuela B0W1dary difficulty,and the Russo-Japanese War. He has regulated railroads,throttled trusts,defied labor cliq11es,checked the criminal rich,and by clever diplomacy,has raised the United State!- to a world power.

His home life is ideal. He honors the sacredness of the home,believing that the very foundation of the republic is the home. He is not politician made. From the beginning he has not been a favorite of the bosses because of his insis­tence upon purity in politics. In political life he has been ever unaffected,and in­corruptible, treating all fairly, without racial,color ,or political discrimination.

He is the inventor and chief exponent of the Square Deal,the Big Stick,and the Strenuous Life ;three ideals which prominently characterize the typical Ameri­can,a man with strong lines of defined purpose,and clear logic of fixed principles.

Thus with the justness of an Alexander,with the courage of a Caesar,with the patriotism of a Washington,and the honesty of a Lincoln: Theodore Roosevelt has ever commanded an enthusiastic and rapturous applause,not because of his ability to accomplish deeds,not his high conception of righteousness,but because of his supreme confidence in the people and their faith in him.

Theodore Roosevelt---- one of the three greatest Ainericans,one of the greatest men in the world's history,the inost masterful American of masterful times,and the next President of the United States.

THE PARK CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH TOLEDO,OHIO, U.S.A.

The Pulpit Digest:July 3rd,1949:C,F.D,

"THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE." Luke 12: 32: "To give you the Kingdom." (Text)

The American Way of Life: those five words sum,narize the value of A.ncr~ ica to the world. While it shares the heritages of the ages,the American Way of Life makes a distinctive contribution to humanity,differing from that of any other way of life in history.

1. The basic rock foundation of the American Way of Life is the Christian Idea,Ideal,Person,and Spirit of the Living God, This is a Christian nation and has been so from the earliest days of discovcry,exploration,and settlement. The Foun­ding Fathers,and Mothers,and their Children,believed in God,worshipped God,and builded for God,

2, The Christian Idea of God was the living exarnplc of that idea in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, Th;:, t life-portrayal of God by Jesus lifted Him far above all world religious leaders into J uniquely ide:,l st.it.us. His, Way, Truth,and Life,--were God's Way of Life.

3. The supreme way of sharing Jesus life-revelation of Go.i was through the institution of the Christian Church. Many times Jesus contacted God in solici­tude in the wilderness,that He might be prepared to witness to t 11e 12,the 70,and to thousands of others,the worship,thc care,the love,and the will of God. Jesus founded His Church to be a family of indwelling strength,understanding ,and happiness for all His followers in that Church, The American Way of Life is based on the Church,

4, Freedom, Tole ra tion,and Self-Government have ch:iracte rized the Arner-ican Way of Life. National,state,and local governments,business,social and religious institutions have beenprofoundlyinfluenced by this New World Freedom, Dictators in politics,business,education,and religion have no place in the A1nerican Way of Life, This has been marred at times by economic exploitation of national and human resources,such as slavery, But the ideal has never been lost:freedom and liberty,

5. The Good Samaritan Attitude toward the World and its needs, In the rneasurement of dollars alone ,Arnerica far exceeds the world in world friendship and service:for the famine sufferers in India,flood viclL1s in China, Near East Re­lief in Turkey.the earthquake injured in Japan,Arnerican education for Chinese stu­dents,yea rs of service for the Philippines,and the huge number of Christian missions,

schools,hospitals,colleges,and churches around the world. This does not include war and peace relief after a world conflict.

6. The highest st,indard of living per capita on earth--is inherent in the American Way of Life, Inventive genius,labor-saving devices, comforts for the home, transportation, communication, rec re a tion,educa tion,and health:place America in

= 14 7 =

world leadership.

7. The Supreme Quality of Christian Character:- is the glory and climax of the American Way of Life, George Washington,Abraham Lincoln,Clara Barton, Jane Addams,Helen Keller, Thomas Edison,Ralph Ernerson,Herbert Hoover,and Dwight L,Moody,are but a few of the many great American followers of Jesus.

8, The Splendid Opportunity to train ones talents and achieve the great­est happiness.usefulness,and joy in life:-this is the greatest heritage of Ameri­can youth.

9. Jesus said:''It is your Father's (God) good pleasure to give you the Kingdom." If the Kingdom coincides with the American Way of Life,and the Amer­ican Way is transformed by God's Kingdom--then the American Way of Life has reached its Divine Completion,

THE KALB ANCESTRAL CITATION THE REVEREND MR.JOHN STEVENSON KALB, THE M.E.CHURCH.

"From the be ginning of his ministry he was a diligent student. His means did not permit him to accumulate a very large library;but his books were well selected,carefully read,and well digested. He was a man of superior powers of mind,and giving his powers the benefit of careful discipline,he became disting­uished among his brethren for both comprehensiveness and clearness of thought. He continued to grow intellectually all through his ministry. In general literature he was well informed,in theology he was at home. As a preacher he was a prac­tical,faithful,and impressive expounder of the truth as it is in Jesus. His sermons were always clear and systematic,and often delivered with an unction that told with great power on his c ongre ga tion.

"There was nothing more distinctly marked in the character of brother Kalb than his wiyielding integrity. Principle not policy was his motto. 'What is right? What is duty? What does God require?' were the questions upon his heart,and the settling of these questions determined his course of action. His character was beautiful for its genuineness. He was one of the most modest and unpretentious of men. He was entirely devoid of all ambitious scheming and self-seeking. What he appeared he was. Truth, that kept him above all meanness, that rendered him incapable of deception, that made him always reliable as a friend,that invested him with a nobleness which the selfish and time-serving can never possess, was wrought in every fiber of his being; it stood forth in every utterance and act of his life; not faultless, yet his virtues were so many and com­bined so harmoniously to form a beautiful character worthy to be held in affec­tionate and enduring remembrance by his brethren. As a Christian his convic­tions were strong, his faith firm. He believed with his whole soul the great truths of the Bible. His piety was deep and uniform. He sought and found the profound depths of vital godliness." ••• by D. Rutledge, D.D.

MRS.ELIZABETH KALB,WIFE OF REV.JOHNS. KALB.

"Her temper was quiet, her spirit free from demonstrativeness, whether in joy or grief, her religion deeply devout, but never boisterous, her manner re­tiring •.. Her home was her palace, and the scene in which her virtues were most of all conspicuous. There, whoever came, received a cordial greeting. Her pres­ence brought constant sunshine to her home, which she made ••• a model of neat­ness and taste •.• Her life has been a testimony for Jesus." (A press story)
