Biographical Sketches of Settlers in the 1880'S Compiled from 1880 MN federal census (Cass Co) and 1885 MN state census, and Park Rapids Enterprize articles through 1883, with some additions from secondary sources, by Peter Wilson, 8 East 25 St, Minneapolis MN 55404. Ph 612-871-4807. E-mail at [email protected]î A hard copy of the 1989 history, with bibliography, and notes on state and natural history, is in Park Rapids public library. Please send additions and corrections to Hubbard Co. Genealogical Society, to update this record. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SETTLERS IN THE 1880'S A. H. Abbott was born in 1859 in Illinois. His wife, Lilly, was born in 1864 in Illinois. Children: Irene was born in 1889 in Minnesota; Vianna (sp?) was born in 1892 in Minnesota; Ina was born in 1893 in Minnesota. Mr. Abbott was a farmer who moved directly to Todd Township in the spring of 1886. On June 18, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated the Abbotts 39th in Todd Township. Cornelius A. Abbott was born in 1834 in Indiana. He was a carpenter and moved to Minnesota in February, 1885, and to the Hubbard Enumeration District in May 1895. On June 5, 1895, E. R. Hinds enumerated Corneluis 27th in Hubbard. George Abbot was born in 1817 in Tennessee. His wife, Abigail, was born in 1837 in Canada. The 1885 state census lists him as a Union veteran, distinguishing him from many of his Tennessee relations. Children: Moses was born in 1860 in Minnesota; Angelina was born in 1872 in Minnesota; George was born in 1877 in Minnesota; and Margaret was born in 1881 in Minnesota. In May 1885 Samuel Churchill enumerated the Abbots eighth in Park Rapids. Irene Abbott was born May 20, 1889, in Hubbard County. Samuel Abbett was born in March 1834 in Indiana. In 1900 he stated that his father was born in New Hampshire and his mother in Vermont, but in 1910 he stated that his father was born in New Hampshire and his mother in Pennsylvania. He may not be related to other Abbot settlers in the 1880's, and I include him tentatively until I can determine if he belongs among the later settlers in volume two. Mr. Adams of Warren Illinois was staying with G. B. King in Straight River while examining farmland, according to the November 23, 1882, Enterprise. Daniel Adams was probably born before 1850. The 1890 census does not give the age of veterans. Mary A. Adams (Dan's sister or wife?) was born in 1849 in Canada. Mary's parents were also born in Canada. Dan served as a private in the 8th Wisconsin Battery from June 1864 to July 1865. According to the July 25, 1882, issue of the Enterprise, Dan ran the stage line which brought passangers, freight and mail from Verndale to Shell City at 6:00 PM on Tuesdays and Fridays and returned to Verndale at 6:00 AM on Wednesdays and Saturdays . In June 1890 M. M. Loring enumerated Daniel and Mary A. Adams 76th in Hubbard. Mary may have previously been the wife (the census taker understood her to be the widow) of veteran Asel Homorel (Howard?). In 1892 Dan built a $200.00 house in Park Rapids. On June 15, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated Mary A. Adams in the house of Acel Howard, 21st in Todd Township. Dennis Adams was born in 1864 in Vermont. His wife, Annie, was born in 1861 in Canada. Children: Maud was born in 1885 in Canada; Madge M. was born July 3, 1890, in Hubbard County. Dennis was a mill hand who moved directly to Todd Township in January, 1889. In 1892 Dennis Adams built a $150.00 house in Park Rapids. On June 12, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated Dennis' family 175th in Park Rapids. G. W. Adams was born in 1875 in Minnesota. On June 11, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated him with the family of Pascall Parks, 164th in Park Rapids. Living with the Parks family in 1895 was a large crew of men, perhaps a lumber crew for Herman Ellersick, including G.W. Adams, V. Bemis, Abe Breenesen(?), John Jeanquenat(?), Frank Kolar(?), Marty Kortjaval(?), Albert Lemke, Mike Loyd, Frank Marshler, M.S. Phelps, Charles Runhollz(?), P.D. Sackett, and Gust Witte. John Adams was born in 1845 in Canada. His wife, Emma, was born in 1854 in Wisconsin. Her father was born abroad, probably in Canada. Children: Ernest was born in 1877 in Minnesota; Ralph E. was born in 1889 in Minnesota; Orrin P. was born in 1892 in Minnesota. John was a Civil War veteran and laborer who moved to Minnesota in 1875 and to Park Rapids in the spring of 1892. On June 11, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated John's family 148th in Park Rapids. Leonard Adams died May 21, 1888, in Hubbard County. Frank Addison came with his wife and two children from Greenfield, Indiana, with Captain Huntsinger, according to the August 24 and October 12, 1882, issues of the Enterprise. The November 16, 1882, Enterprise reported that in Frank's shot a 250 pound deer in his first hunt. Mabel Addison died October 24, 1889, in Hubbard County. Her family was not enumerated in the county in 1885 or 1895, but she may have been the wife of Frank or Wesley. Wesley Addison returned to Indiana satisfied with Hubbard County prospects, acccording to the October 12, 1882, Enterprise. Nickolas (Nick) Aherns was born in 1854 in Germany. His wife, Angeline (Angel), was born in Germany in 1862. Children: Peter was born in December, 1884, in Minnesota; Katie was born in 1886 in Minnesota; John was born October 4, 1887, in Hubbard County; Joseph was born February 15, 1889, in Hubbard County; Mike was born April 29, 1890, in Hubbard County; Margaret was born October 24, 1891, in Hubbard County; a daughter who died in infancy was born July 26, 1892, in Hubbard County; Henry, who probably died young, was born February 10, 1893, in Hubbard County; Mary was born February 9, 1894, in Hubbard County; Christine, who also probably died young, was born May 25, 1897, in Hubbard County; Christine Katherine was born July 31, 1899, in Hubbard County. Nick Aherns was a farmer who moved directly to Todd Township in 1884. In May 1885 Sam Churchill enumerated Nick's family seventh in Park Rapids. On June 17, 1895, B. F. Wright enumerated Nick's family 33rd in Todd Township. Living with Nick's family in 1895 was Theresa Mueller, perhaps Nick's sister or sister-in-law, and her three children. Nick died in 1923, leaving 11 children as heirs. A Mr. Allen had a opening stock of groceries and notions in his general store in Carson, according to the November 16, 1882, Enterprise. Florestan L. (S?) Allen was born in 1852(?) in Maine. His parents were also born in Maine. His wife, Lucinda (Marble?), was born in 1849(?) in New York. Her parents were also born in New York. Children: Florence was born in 1874 in Minnesota; William F. was born in 1875 in Minnesota; Ernie was born in 1877 in Minnesota; Bertha was born in 1882 in Minnesota. On July 2, 1880, William Denley enumerated Floreston's family in township 139/140 of Cass County. The August 10, 1882, Enterprise states that Mr. Allen would soon move his house into Manter. The February 15, 1883, Enterprise reports that Florestan purchased a fine span of ponies, harness and cutter, giving him the finest rig in Manter. In May 1885 Nelson Bement enumerated them 48th in Hubbard. At midnight on the 17th of March a fire in Manter destroyed F.S. Allen's saloon and Wm Bement's hotel, but many hotel furnishings were saved. The fire exploded a keg of powder in the saloon and awakened the hotel guests in time to escape, despite the strong wind. Neither building was insured. (E 83 Mar 29.4) Living with the Allen family in 1885 were E. M. Horton, age 22, William Marble, age 62, and A. O. Brigsley, age 49. Many early settlers had borders, hired hands and chore girls. Working for a neighbor during the harvest was one of the first jobs a young person could get. This shared experience was part of the spirit of the community. Andrew Allen was a vice president in charge of celebrations of the arrival of the first train in Park Rapids on August 1, 1891. Grant Allen's new house in Park Rapids was valued at $500.00 in 1891. Grant played on the Park Rapids baseball team in June 1892. Lester Allen was a charter member of Boy Scout Troop 58 in October 1923. In 1790 there were 87 Allen households in Maine. James Ammerman was mentioned as driving freight wagon teams between Park Rapids and Verndale in the July 25, 1882, edition of the Park Rapids Enterprise. Christian Anderson was born in 1857 in Norway. His wife, Lottie, was born in Norway in 1856. Christian was a farmer who moved to Minnesota in the spring of 1881 and to the Henrietta Enumeration District in October 1885. On June 11, 1895, E. R. Hinds enumerated Christian's family 45th in Henrietta Township. Living with them in 1895 was Hannah Josephson, age 4. Elijah Antoine was born in 1871 in Illinois. Lydia E. R. Antoine (perhaps his wife) died April 8, 1889, in Hubbard County. Elijah was a farmer who moved to Minnesota when he was two and to Akeley Township before 1895 (the year was not recorded in the census). On June 14, 1895, J.

  • Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany
    H-Labor-Arts Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany Discussion published by Patrick Jung on Saturday, October 7, 2017 (Copyright 2008, Society of Industrial Archeology and reprinted with permission) From the author: This article was published earlier in Industrial Archaeology: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology, vol. 34, nos. 1 & 2. It is reproduced here on H-Labor Arts to make it available to a wider audience. I wrote this article while I was in the midst of finishing a book-length manuscript on Erich Mercker, who was, undoubtedly, one of the top industrial artists in Germany from 1919 to 1945. He and his contemporaries (e.g., Fritz Gärtner, Franz Gerwin, Ria Picco-Rückert, Leonhard Sandrock, and Richard Gessner) constituted a school of artists who I have provisionally labeled the “Heroic School” of German industrial art from 1919 to 1945. The Grohmann Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has paintings produced by virtually all of these artists. It also has more than 90 paintings by Erich Mercker, more than any other art museum in the world. Thus, it is fitting this article should appear on the H-Labor Arts site titled “From the Grohmann….” I also hope this essay will spur more research into Mercker and his “Heroic School” contemporaries, all of whom produced some of the most stunning examples of industrial art during the course of the early twentieth century. Those interested in reading the full-length biography on Erich Mercker (for which this article paved the way) should contact the Grohmann Museum at [email protected].

    REVIEWS OF BOOKS History of Stearns County, Minnesota. By WILLIAM BELL MITCHELL. In two volumes. (Chicago, H. C. Cooper Jr. and Company, 1915. xv, xii, 1536 p. Illustrated) These two formidable-looking volumes, comprising some fif­ teen hundred pages in all, are an important addition to the literature of Minnesota local history. The author is himself a pioneer. Coming to Minnesota in 1857, he worked as surveyor, teacher, and printer until such time as he was able to acquire the St. Cloud Democrat. He later changed the name of the paper to the St. Cloud lournal, and, after his purchase of the St. Cloud Press in 1876, consolidated the two under the name St. Cloud Journal-Press, of which he remained editor and owner until 1892. During this period he found time also to discharge the duties of receiver of the United States land office at St. Cloud, and to serve as member of the state normal board. It would appear, then, that Mr. Mitchell, both by reason of his long resi­ dence in Stearns County and of his editorial experience, was preeminently fitted for the task of writing the volumes under review. Moreover, he has had the assistance of many of the prominent men of the county in preparing the general chapters of the work. Among these may be noted chapters 2-6, dealing with the history of Minnesota as a whole during the pre-territorial period, by Dr. P. M. Magnusson, instructor in history and social science in the St. Cloud Normal; a chapter on "The Newspaper Press" by Alvah Eastman of the St.

  • How Britain Unified Germany: Geography and the Rise of Prussia
    — Early draft. Please do not quote, cite, or redistribute without written permission of the authors. — How Britain Unified Germany: Geography and the Rise of Prussia After 1815∗ Thilo R. Huningy and Nikolaus Wolfz Abstract We analyze the formation oft he German Zollverein as an example how geography can shape institutional change. We show how the redrawing of the European map at the Congress of Vienna—notably Prussia’s control over the Rhineland and Westphalia—affected the incentives for policymakers to cooperate. The new borders were not endogenous. They were at odds with the strategy of Prussia, but followed from Britain’s intervention at Vienna regarding the Polish-Saxon question. For many small German states, the resulting borders changed the trade-off between the benefits from cooperation with Prussia and the costs of losing political control. Based on GIS data on Central Europe for 1818–1854 we estimate a simple model of the incentives to join an existing customs union. The model can explain the sequence of states joining the Prussian Zollverein extremely well. Moreover we run a counterfactual exercise: if Prussia would have succeeded with her strategy to gain the entire Kingdom of Saxony instead of the western provinces, the Zollverein would not have formed. We conclude that geography can shape institutional change. To put it different, as collateral damage to her intervention at Vienna,”’Britain unified Germany”’.

    Russia • Military / Security Historical Dictionaries of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, No. 5 PRINGLE At its peak, the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) was the largest HISTORICAL secret police and espionage organization in the world. It became so influential DICTIONARY OF in Soviet politics that several of its directors moved on to become premiers of the Soviet Union. In fact, Russian president Vladimir V. Putin is a former head of the KGB. The GRU (Glavnoe Razvedvitelnoe Upravleniye) is the principal intelligence unit of the Russian armed forces, having been established in 1920 by Leon Trotsky during the Russian civil war. It was the first subordinate to the KGB, and although the KGB broke up with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the GRU remains intact, cohesive, highly efficient, and with far greater resources than its civilian counterparts. & The KGB and GRU are just two of the many Russian and Soviet intelli- gence agencies covered in Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence. Through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, a clear picture of this subject is presented. Entries also cover Russian and Soviet leaders, leading intelligence and security officers, the Lenin and Stalin purges, the gulag, and noted espionage cases. INTELLIGENCE Robert W. Pringle is a former foreign service officer and intelligence analyst RUSSIAN with a lifelong interest in Russian security.
