BY PRESLEY K. EWING The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Branches III In Memoriam The Day You Went The day you went my world was done. There came no comfort from the sun Nor from the love of life that lurks In sunlight, nor from all the works Of faith and old philosophy,— Till one young rose leaned down to me And shot my brooding like a wing; The most foolhardy, gallant thing In all this rocking world, conceived Of morning dew . and I believed ! It bannered upward from the sod The visible defense of God. —Beatrice W. Ravenel. After the manuscript of this book was complete and arrangement made for its publication, on April i, 1919, at the family home in the City of Houston, Mary Ellen (Williams) Ewing, one of the authors, as the culmination of a lingering illness, peacefully and with her last expression a smile, passed into eternity, her remains being interred in the family vault, St. John's Cemetery, Thibodaux, Louisiana. The loss in her death to humanity, to services of benefi- cence and philanthropy, was recognized by all familiar with the course of her life. The floral offerings, in number and beauty, were a rare tribute. The Associated Press heralded abroad her untimely departure, while the leading local dailies, The Houston Post, The Houston Chronicle and The Houston Press, recounting her life's services and achieve- ments herein narrated, as with one voice proclaimed her praise. The Houston Press, noting the fact of her being "widely known throughout the State and Nation," referred to the reforms she had effected in the public schools, saying, "A part of Mrs. Ewing's religion was sanitation;" it also re- ^^ IV The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Branches ferred to her efforts to secure women on the school board, adding, "It was due to the campaign she waged that women are on the school board today." Further of her it was said : "The passing of Mrs. Ewing takes from Houston one of the city's most useful women, and her death will be mourned by many a person whom she be- friended. She was a woman of tireless energy, and although she was a society leader, much of her time and effort were spent in helping others and in work for the public good." The Houston Chronicle, with a double-column picture of her, and stating under heavy headlines that death had called "One of Texas' Noted Women Whose Life Was Devoted to Welfare Work for Mankind," declared that in her death, "a life of great usefulness and activity was ended," and further : "The name of Mrs. Ewing was long associated with all affairs of the City and State which had to do with uplift work or civic welfare. She was a woman of strong personality, public spirited, and the life of social events. Her many deeds of public and philanthropic service gave her a place in 'Noted Women of Texas,' published by the Bio- graphical Press." This paper in an editorial thus said : "Announcement of the death of Mrs. Presley K. Ewing brings a feeling of sorrow and sympathy from many Houston hearts. A life that was de- voted to good deeds and that encompassed much for the happiness and uplift of mankind is ended. "In Mrs. Ewing were combined those graces which make for life's finest realizations. Active at all times in the church and social life of the city, she managed to also find time for much constructive work in lightening the burdens and enlarging the opportunities of those whose lines had not fallen in pleasant places. "Her death touches, as did her life, the heart of Houston." The Houston Post editorially spoke as follows : "A host of friends who had known and loved her through the many years of residence here are filled The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Branches v with sorrow over the death of Mrs. Presley K. Ewing at her home in this city Tuesday morning. To her family and her friends she was the embodi- ment of all that was good and noble in Southern womanhood and in their memories she will ever live as a shining example of the devoted wife and mother, the undisputed queen of her home and family circle, the most optimistic and generous of friends. "The influence of Mrs. Ewing extended far be- yond her personal acquaintanceship, however, for throughout the length and breadth of the State she was known as one of the most distinguished and able of the public spirits of Texas. Although pos- sessed of gifts and graces which made her a favo- rite of society circles, she devoted much of her time and talent to the improvement of the public wel- fare. She was connected with innumerable move- ments and organizations for the uplift of the people of Texas economically, mentally, morally and spiritually. Her work for the women and children of the city and the State particularly has been in- valuable, as she has played a distinguished part in ushering in the new era of justice and recognition for women and the welfare of the child. "The forces of progress and righteousness have suffered a great loss in the death of Mrs. Ewing." Let us who knew her best, her husband and her daugh- ters, add only this : Her exalted life, with its sweet helpfulness, will remain as a light for guidance, to inspire and bless the work of others. Though she be dead, it shall not die. For "there is something that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish," We who suflfer from her loss, forgetting doubts and fears, see no\v through the mists of tears and surgings of sorrow the "young rose," leaning down to us, "conceived in morn- ing dew"— "It bannered upward from the sod. The visible defense of God." VI The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate i^kanches PREFACE With affectionate greetings, we dedicate to our posterity these pages, a labor of love and, as we think, of just family pride. The work was at first intended to be only a sketch of the immediate family of the authors, and in a measure that plan has been preserved, especially as concerns the details of per- sonal history; but in other respects the design has been greatly enlarged and the work so arranged that any branch may be extended indefinitely from the point where it enters, going in like manner into the particulars of its personal history as far as desired. The arrangement of blank pages at the end has been adopted to facilitate such a course. Neither cost nor time nor care has been spared to make the contents of this little history portray, not a romance, but the facts as they were, so that they may be relied upon as accurate and accepted as authentic. Birth, marriage and death records have been explored wherever available, both as confirmative and in quest of new light. Records still preserved have revealed to us marriages and births, which will appear herein, occurring more than a hundred years before the War of the Revolution ( 1776- 1 781). In addi- tion, our research has extended to many histories, some now obscure and others out of sale print, and also to the archives of family branches, wherever obtainable. This task has been performed, not because we are pur- suers of phantoms, or fatuous of a useless aristocracy, or given to blind hero-worship, but because we believe that noble aspirations, lofty aims and deeds of exalted service, when found in a family, may properly be perpetuated as a legacy to the generations yet unborn, if not for emulation, at least as a source of encouragement to their efliorts, of inspiration for their endeavors. If then, what we have written shall serve, in other days The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Beanches vu to come, as a light, a landmark or a hope to some weary or faltering feet pursuing the pathway of life, so that, seeing, they may take heart again, we shall have reward enough. Standing as we necessarily do upon the narrow Present, slipping as we speak, there can be only two real sources of happiness—our memories of the past, our hopes of the future. Whether these pages contribute to the fountain of either must be judged by others; at least, the purpose which has animated us will not be condemned, and in the thought of Lord Byron, "What is writ, is writ."

By David Holden Professor Theodore A. Wilson, Advisor The U.S. Army officer corps experienced an intellectual revolution following the experience of WWI that fundamental altered the relationship between man and machines in war. As a result, officers failed to develop the technology gene and began to think of war as being inherently quantitatively and technological based. This dissertation examines the relationship between technology and the U.S. Army and Navy officers specifically between 1900-1925. Furthermore, the treatise addresses the role of Frederick Taylor and the rise of scientific management within the U.S. Army and Navy. iii Acknowledgements In writing this dissertation, I received invaluable assistance and support from a number of people and organizations.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
