CH ARLES W. SOULE POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION OF HERKI MER Reported by Chief Karl W. Gunther of the Herkimer (New York) Police Department We f ormed an association in the Herkimer police department in 1937 and have carried it on. This was named after a member of the department who was drowned in a fishing accident at Candarago Lake, Richfield Springs, New York just f orty years ago - J2 Jun 1928. I am the only active member left who worked with him although another fellow who was with him at the time is now retired. Charl es Soule and I worked to-gether for about two years . He was six feet one or two inches tall, about 185 lbs and straight as could be. Certainly, he was a nice fellow t o get along with and a good officer. Charles had a brother who worked on t he force at one time but he is dead too. There was also a Clauson Soule in Herkimer, now deceased but leaving children now living local ly.

Comment by Colonel John Soule, Family Hist orian From his New York state death cer tifi cate and hi s Massachusetts birth record (421:95) \ore find that Charles William Soule was born at Otis , Ber kshire County, l-1ass­ achusetts on 3 Sep 1892, the son of Eugene & Elizabeth (Lewis ) Soule . \ihen he died at the age of 35 years, 9 months and 9 days he left a wife Ava ( }~ers) Soule living in Herkimer. Earlier Berkshire County research indicat es that Charles William Soule was a great-grandson of Dr. Alden Soule ( 1779-1870), the progenitor of a large branch of the family. Presumably, Alden Soule was about 6th in line of descent from George Soule of the Hayflower but we've never been abl e to cl ose thi s gap despite effort to that end. One correspondent offers unsupported tradition that his name actually was John Alden Soule, Jr. and that the marked gravestone of John Alden Soule, Sr. still stands in West Becket, Iviassachusetts. Hopefully, this marker will again be located and the connection established from the information t hereon. Page 68 SOULE KINDRED NEWSLETTER VOL. II, NO. 3 JULY 1968 lN THIS ISSUE. . . .

Presently, Camp Soule consists of 100 acres, al­ though the Scouts hope to locate a new camp with 1, 200 acres and con­ vert CaTYlp Soule to a beginners camp.

Ridlon who is now living at Kezar Falls, Haine. She has advised us in a recent communication "My husband received no books, bibles or other papers from 'Fiev. Ridlon at his death. We were told that all his personal papers etc were 1ctioned off - to whom we don't know. 11 If this information is correct, it would appear that there is still a possibility that this treasure trove will turn up some where some day. However, we are at a loss to find another clue worthy of tracing.

{ Q U E S T I 0 N S and A N S W E R S By Colonel John Soule, Historian Q. Upon the death of my grandmother four years ago, I inherited all her old family photographs. Among them was a picture taken at Lindahl Studio in Tacoma, Wash­ ington. On the back is written the name "Orin Leroy Soule" and the date "7 years 17 August 1896" which I take to mean that Orin was seven years old on that date. Can you give me any information regarding the above? A. Perhaps a mere coincidence but we do have record of one ORIN L. SOULE (1842-1920), a Union Army veteran from the Civil War. He was born and died in Maine but his Pension File in the National Archives mentions a grandson aged 17 in 1907. Un­ fortunately, that grandson is not named. Our correspondent in Tacoma helpfully and graciously reports calling all of the families named SOULE now in Tacoma but none were connected with Orin Leroy Soule; contact with cemeteries in Tacoma and nearby Puyallup disclose that he did not die there or at least wasn't buried there; check of old city directories shows he was listed as single in 1910 but married with wife named Myrtle in 1911, continuously called "laborer" until 1920 but· "Sec. Engineer Operator" in that year which was the last in which he appear­ ed. Our correspondent has asked the Tacoma News Tribune to put in a notice query­ ing old timers to see if anyone knows what happened to Orin and Myrtle; also suggests that he may have worked for the Northern Pacific Railroad or one of the other railroads serving Tacoma and that communication with the railroads may possibly result in their knowledge of where he went after 1920.

Q. What is the predominant generation from George Soule of The Mayflower? A. We aren't quite sure what you mean by this question. However, we do know of a few in the 8th Generation. So far, no one has appeared on our horizon as 13th Generation but we'll probably have the privilege of reporting that one of these days. Older adults generally are of the 9th and lOth Generations with the latter probably the most common; younger adults are usually of the lOth and 11th Generations. Please try us again if this doesn't answer your query.

Q. I know that Aaron Soule married Mary Wadsworth. Do you have a record who her parents were and when they came to America? A. Duxbury and Pembroke Vital Records establish the fact that Mary Wadsworth was born at Duxbury , Plymouth County, Mass., on 18 Dec 1668; also that she was the daughter of John Wadsworth and Abigail Andrews who were married at Duxbury on 25 Jul 1667. It is a bit beyond our current scope to explore further into 'their background so we are unable to answer the last half of your question. Q. Can anyone give us information on GEORGE SOULE, married at Wardsboro, Vermont on 24 February 1823 to HARIET KELLY. They had sons Elvirus and Eugene, daughter Rose. Harriet died 8 February 1861 in Walworth County Wisconsin. We need birth and death dates for George, also vital statistics on parents.

(Some of the known information above came from Col. John Soule, other was ob­ tained from cemetary visits and relatives - but we're stuck on the questions listed above. Anyone having information should write to the Soule Kindred or Mr. R.P. Nichols, 28Q Lamplite Lane S .E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52403.) SOULE KINDRED NEWSLETTER VOL.
