BADSKY, Lena (Lawrence KS)

LENA BADSKY

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Lena Badsky, BU Graduate 1907"
PHOTO TAKEN: Ringer Studio, Baldwin KS, 1907
PURCHASED: sent to me by Ms. Kleppinger; "friends of her grandmother"

A follower of this blog recently sorted through photos left by her grandmother and found several identified ones of people not related to her family. These were friends and classmates of her grandmother in the early 1900's in mostly Kansas and Iowa. Ms. Kleppinger was very generous in gifting these to me, so I could start the research on them, and hopefully re-unite some of them with their families.

There were two photos of LENA BADSKY in the group. The other is shown at left. A note sent with these two images explains that "BU" is Baker University in Baldwin City, KS. A quick Google search finds that Baker is a Liberal Arts College.

Lena S. Badsky was born Sept 1885 to parents Jacob Badsky (1850-1933) and Nancy Sizer (1859-1949).

The family is found on the 1900 Census in Elk, Osage County, KS, some 20 miles west of Baldwin.

This photo of Lena was likely taken around 1903, and was found elsewhere on the internet at a website called "Slices of Time" which is engaged in the same project that I am.  Slices of Time also has a photograph of Lena's parents Jacob and Nannie.

Lena opened a China Shop after graduating from Baker. This story from the Lawrence Daily Journal was published 05 October 1908.

By the time of the 1910 Census, the family is residing in Lawrence KS.

PURCHASED: 2015 July Brandywine River Antiques, Chadds Ford PA

Lydia Katherine Plotts and her aunt Amy

According to Quaker Meeting records, AMY was born 20 Feb 1869 to parents Jesse Heacock (1820 son of Joseph Heacock and Margaret Kester) and Lydia Parker (1823 dau of Jonathan Parker and Lucina Moore).  

Amy's older sister ANNA (b. 1853 in Greenwood) married George Fletcher Plotts (b. 1846 son of George and Catherine Plotts) and had ten children including daughter Lydia Katherine Plotts (born 1884).

1880 Census > PA > Columbia > Greenwood
HEACOCK, Jesse, 60, head, farmer, born in PA to PA parents
HEACOCK, Lydia, 57, wife, keeping home, born in PA to NJ parents

HEACOCK, Susan, 19, dau, helping in house, born in PA
HEACOCK, Abigail H., dau, at school, born in PA
HEACOCK, Amy, 11, dau, helping mother, born in PA

Anna Heacock (circa 1868-1870)

In Oct 1902, ANNA Margaret Heacock-Plotts' husband George Fletcher Plotts died, leaving ANNA a widow with several children still at home. I am not certain if she remarried. ANNA (born 1853) died at age 80, on Jan 28, 1934.

At age 40, AMY appears on the 1910 Census, living with her older brother Joseph on a farm in Greenwood. She works as a dressmaker.

March 1, 1911 AMY married recently widowed Daniel Ashelman (born 2 May 1855 to parents John Ashelman & Elizabeth Kline). His death certificate in 1946 states he is married to AMY Heacock who is 77 at that time (b. abt 1869).

According to Pennsylvania Certificate of Death, AMY Ashelman died of heart disease 24 Nov 1956, at age 87.

Because this group was a bit confusing as I was sorting it out, and kept confusing Amy and Anna, I found it helpful to create a descendancy list, starting with the parents Jesse & Lydia:

HAUG, Olaf and Emma (Grafton ND)

OLAF & EMMA HAUG

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Venlig hilsen, til Thea Haug, ifra Olaf og Emma"
PHOTO TAKEN: Bindahl Studio, Grafton ND, circa 1909
PURCHASED: 2016 Springfield OR Antique Peddlars Mall

UPDATE - This photo of Olaf and Emma has been claimed by a relative and is going home!
The inscription on the back translates as "Best regards to Thea (or Theo) Haug from Olaf and Emma". While this does not give a surname of the sitting couple, I believe it is the same as the recipient.

There was an Olaf Einarson HAUG and wife Emma MELDAHL-Haug living in Skagen township Minnesota, which is merely 80 miles east of Grafton ND. This Olaf was born around 1873 and Emma (Meldahl), who was born around 1883. 

1920 Census > MN > Roseau > Skagen
HAUG, Olaf E, head, 47, imm. 1880 nat 1897, born in Norway, farmer

HAUG, George, son, 3y2m, born in MN
HAUG, Karl, son, 1y7m, born in MN
MELDAHL, Ole, father-in-law, 72, wd

Based on the ages of their children on the 1920 Census, it is clear that Emma was a second wife. This couple was married 12 Dec 1909 at the Skjeberg Luthern Charch in Drayton ND which is about 20 miles from Grafton. This may have been their wedding photo.

Olaf was born in Aasnes, Solør, Norway on 27 Feb 1872. His parents were Einar Tostensen Nyen Haug (1831-1924) and Mathea Pedersdatter Kokkin (1829-1897). 

He had many siblings, but one of them was an older sister was named Thea Haug and I was able to find that Thea's daughter Olivia relocated to Washington State after the death of her husband in 1940. This may explain how the photo ended up in on the West Coast.

He died 29 Jun 1966 in Badger MN.

His first wife was Nellie Hawkins died in 1904.

This is Edith Margareta Hooker, born in Hardwick VT, 29 Jan 1906 to parents Sanford Holmes Hooker (1876-1930, son of Lorenzo K. Hooker & Elizabeth Balan) and Daisy Walcott (1885-1936, dau of William G. Walcott & Mahala __).

McKOWN-HAWKE, Adelaide (Tunkhannock PA)

ADELAIDE McKOWN HAWKE

UPDATE - Adelaide has been claimed by a great-nephew and has gone home!

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Adelaide McKo__ Hawke"
PHOTO TAKEN: A.P. Miller Studio, Tunkhannock PA, circa 1890
PURCHASED: 2017 August Madison-Bouckville (NY) Antiques Week

The back of the photo bears the hand-written name, in pencil, "Adelaide McKown (partially erased) Hawke"

This is Mary Adelaide McKown-Hawke (born 8 Mar 1867) to parents Nathaniel Aylesworth McKown (1838-1902, son of William McKown and Celestina _ ) and Clarina Robinson (1840-1929, dau of William Riley Robinson and Cynthia Stevens).

I found this lovely little vignette on an Ancestry tree of a young Adelaide McKown around age 10, take around 1877-1878, along with other members of her family. I have included those of her parents as well as the photo of Adelaide for comparison, but not the entire family. (Remember - I do not possess these following images. They are supplied here for informational purposes only.)

(Click for larger)

January 20, 1902, she married Francis Hawke. I am finding very little on him. He appeared on the 1910 Census in which the couple is living in Tunkhannock with Adelaide's widowed mother. But by the time of the 1920 Census, Adelaide is living alone with her widowed mother Clarinda, no husband or children, although she is described as "married." In 1911 he is reported by the local paper as being engaged in business in Maurer NJ.

1920 Federal Census > PA > Wyoming> Tunkhannock
McKOWN, Clarina, head, 80 wd, no occupation
HAWKE, Adelaide, dau, 53 m, teacher in Grade School

Adelaide died 14 July 1952 in Tunkhannock PA. This obituary was carried in the Scranton Tribune 16 July 1952.

As she left no children of her own, I will have to search for descendants of her siblings in order to find any existing family. Her parents had a total of six children, who are as follows:

1867 Mary Adelaide McKown (d. 1952) m. Frances Hawke
1868 Cecil Clay McKown (d. 1929) m. Lelia Good Wolff

GREENE, Willie (Rutland VT)

WILLIE GREENE

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: 'Willie Green"
PHOTO TAKEN: Moore Studio, Rutland VT, circa mid-1890s
PURCHASED: 2018 Aug Glenwood Manor Antiques, Queensbury NY

If the photo was taken around 1895, and if Willie is in his late 20s-early 30s, then we are looking for a man born in the range of 1865-1870. I think his surname has an "e" at the end, as most documents contain it.

There are several "Willie Green"s living in Vermont around the time this photo was taken. However, only one lived in close proximity to Rutland. That was William "Willie" J. Green (b. abt 1868) living in Danby VT (about 20 miles south of Rutland). His parents were Job Green (1823-1898) and Frances C. Perkins (1830-1901). I have found a photograph of his father Job online, and Willie bears a strong resemblence to him.

The children of Job & Frances are:
1850 - Eliza Green (d._)
1853 - Lois Green (d. 1925) m. Charles May Clark
1858 - Hattie Adel Green (d. 1953) m. George E. Townsend
1859 - Charles H. Green (d. 1943) (railroad work) m. Paulina Weiner
1864 - George W. Green (d. 1926) (hotel clerk)
1868 or 1870 - William J. Green (d. 26 June 1928) (Railroad engineer) m. Mary Eva Loyzelle

At the time of the 1880 Census, he was twelve years old.

Their father Louis was an impressive man and a well-known early settler of the region. He was soldier in the Civil War and at the time of his death was the last-surviving of the bodyguard detail guarding the remains of President Lincoln prior to his burial. This biography for Louis Germain was included in the 1882 book "History of Grundy County, Illinois."

This death notice for Louis was published in the 14 Nov 1921 Chicago Tribune.

Children of Louis and Mary Germain were:
 1860 - Carrie Germain (d. 1863, age 3)
 1862 - Lottie Germain (d. 1862, infant)
 1865 - Eva Stone Germain (d. 1933) m. George L. Wilkinson

GUY LOUIS GERMAIN was born 11 Aug 1881 per WWI Draft Registration, (although some documents say March 1878) in Gardner Illinois. He worked on his father's farm, and later in life was a mail-carrier. Guy married 1) Rhoda Syntha Davis, and 2) Hazel Fredrickson.

PURCHASED: 2017 August Madison-Bouckville (NY) Antiques Week

I find historical documents that sometimes spell Edna's name as "Green" and sometimes as "Greene".

There is an L. Edna Greene-Hines (1886-1957) buried at the Brookside Cemetery, in Watertown NY. She was born to parents Charles Henry Greene and Catherine "Cassie" Shorey.

Edna was married in Watertown on 27 June, 1923, to Harry Stanley HINES, a x-ray technician and WWI veteran in the medical corps, (b. 1896, son of Burt Hines & Minnie Birdseye). At that time, Edna was 35 yrs old and working as a High School teacher. (Note - I find historical documents sometimes spelling her husband's surname as "Hines" and sometimes as "Hinds".)

Edna was a member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), successfully tracing her lineage to Thomas Green (1753-1813) a serving private at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

On her headstone, her name is spelled "L. Edna Greene Hines." 

Sadly, Harry's headstone reports that he died at age 30, in 1926, when he and Edna had been married only 3 years. And it appears that the couple had no children, so I won't be finding any descendants. 

Well this is bad news - descendants of her siblings are apparently nonexistent also.

Sister Susie died unmarried in 1920.
Sister Leona died unmarried in 1955.

FRANK & EDNEY GROESBECK

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Frank & Edney Goosbeck"
PHOTO TAKEN: Watters Studio, Eldora IA, circa 1898
PURCHASED: 2017 Traditions Antique Mall, Wildwood FL

This was a toughie! Whoever wrote the names on the back was not familiar enough with the family to spell the surname correctly. What is given as "Goosbeck" actually turned out to be "Groesbeck".

The photo was taken in Eldora, Hardin County, Iowa. Once I accepted that the name could be misspelled, it became an easier task. I have located a Frank "Grossbeck" and his wife Nora Edna, on the 1900 Census for Union Iowa, about 10 miles south of Eldora (the county seat, and likely closest photographer). NOTE - Census taker has spelled the name wrong.

Frank is James Frank GROESBECK, son of James Groesbeck (1837-1916) and Susan Burr (1848-1922).

Edna was born Nora Edna UPDIKE, daughter of William Updike (1849-1906) and Sarah Sweet (1849-1915).

Frank's parents are enumerated next-door:
GROSSBECK, James, head, Oct 1836, 63, born in PA, liveryman

Sept 1918, Frank registers for the WWI Draft, giving his full name as "James Frank Groesbeck", born April 22, 1879, occupation Drayman.

By the 1920 Census, the family has move 20 miles east to the township of Clay in Grundy County, Iowa.

EMERICK FAMILY (Paulding County OH)

JESSE E EMERICK FAMILY

UPDATE - This photo has been sent home to the grand-daughter of Clayton.

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Mrs. J E Emerick, R2, Latty, Paulding, OH"
PHOTO TAKEN: Unknown photographer, presumably Ohio, circa 1916-1917
PURCHASED: 2016 June, Athens KY Schoolhouse Antiques Show

What I thought was identification of the subjects on the back turned out to be a mailing address to the person the photo was sent to.  However, I am beginning to think the photo actually depicts the recipient and her immediate family, as genealogical clues appear to match so far.

Although no year is indicated, this appears to be circa 1916 to 1917 based on clothing.

This appears to be Jesse Edward EMERICK (1873-1949), son of Samuel H. Emerick and Mary Medaugh Hartzog. He was a farmer in Latty Township, Paulding County, Ohio.

His wife is Ellen Jane WRIGHT (1877-1950), daughter of Marcus E. Wright and Sarah Mills Lackey.

They had three handsome sons:
 1899 - Marcus Edward Emerick (d. 1965) m. Lavern E. Mellinger.
          1921 - Carlton L Emerick (d. 1983 in KY) m. Gathyl Downing

EGENBERGER and WOLF (Manhattan, NY)

EUNICE EGENBERGER and ETHEL WOLF

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Taken Sept 1892, Eunice Egenberger, 1 yr, Ethel Dot Wolf, 10 yrs, in front of 128 E. 31st St, NYC"
PHOTO TAKEN: unknown photographer, Sept 1892
PURCHASED: 2020 January, Traditions Antique Mall, Wildwood FL

This photograph was taken in Manhattan, in front of 128 E. 31st Street. This address was helpful in determining the identity of the child in the stroller.

The New York Index to Birth Records shows Eunice Egenberger born 15 Sep 1891 to parents Edward Egenberger and Annetta Egenberger (maiden name WOLF), who resided at 131 E. 31st Street in New York City. That address is directly across the street from where the photograph was taken.

By the time of the 1900 Census, two more children have been added and the family had moved to the Bronx.

1900 Federal Census > NY > NY > Bronx
EGENBERGER, Edward, head, Sep 1865, 34, born in NY of German parents, jeweller
EGENBERGER, Anneta, wife, Aug 1866, 33, born in NY of German parents
EGENBERGER, Eunice, dau, Sep 1891, 8, born in NY, at school
EGENBERGER, Julina, dau, Oct 1892, 7, born in NY, at school
EGENBERGER, Edward Jr., son, Sep 1894, 5, born in NY, at school

At the age of 18, Eunice was married to Harry Myron Taylor, a chauffeur by trade, and both bride and groom were living at that time in New Rochelle. Wedding was Dec 1, 1909. Groom Harry is a son of a jeweller George Taylor and his wife Arloa Eick. Sister Juliana Egenberger was one of the witnesses at Eunice's wedding. Juliana married Ross Ressler in Oct 1911.

Harry died Oct 1966 in Wall Township, NJ. His obit in the Asbury Park Press states he was a widower, his wife being Meda Brown-Taylor. No mention of Eunice. He has two surviving children; Mrs. Richard Dodd (of Wall Township) and George H. Taylor (Orlando FL). Are these children of Eunice or Meda? By the time of the 1920 Census he is married to Meda. Therefore Eunice either died or divorced prior to 1920.

Because Eunice's mother was born a Wolf, and the 10-year-old Ethel in the photo has a surname of Wolf, one can presume that Ethel is either a younger sister of Annetta Wolf, or a niece, more specifically - a daughter of her brother (if such existed).

I am having no luck finding her in Census records. If she was 10 years on in 1892, she was born in 1882 +/- and therefore no born yet for the 1880 Census. The 1890 Federal Census is missing (destroyed in fire) and a bane to genealogists everywhere. By the 1900 Census, she would have been 18 or 19 and possibly married, living under a new surname. Or she could be deceased or moved away.
