Box 1778 July 1, 1974;;;h, flxe 2L;};3'La Jolla, Calif. 92037 THE COLLINS FAMILY My first information about our Collins ancestors and family came from my mother, Mrs. Emma Collins Curray, who was a daughter of JAMES HARRAHCOLLINS, a granddaughter of ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr., and a great­ granddaughter of ELISHA COLLINS I. In the late 1930s or the early 1940s she directed me to the home of Mrs. Mae Reynolds at 2818-—l/2Eucalyptus Avenue, Long Beach, Calif., who had the ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr. family Bible. The entries in that bible gave us the birth and death dates of ELISHA COLLINS I, JENNIE FARLEY, ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr., ELIZABETH GRANSTAFF and the birth dates of most of ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr.'s children. We are sure now that Mae Reynolds was a daughter of Elijah Collins, Jr. (See page 11A). I should have asked more questions and taken notes but knew very little about the Collins family at that time and nothing about genealogical searching. Mother talked about visiting Uncle William and his family near La Plata, Mo... We stopped at La Plata but could find no Collins relatives. She also talked about Uncle Jake, Aunt Lucy and Uncle Lydge. She must have told us that some of Elijah Collins, Jr.'s descendants lived in Southeastern Kansas because we stopped there and talked to them but at that time I was trying hard to trace the ancestors of ELISHA COLLINS I, so did not preserve notes about relatives. They had no data about ancestors. Mother knew that her grandfather, ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr. had come to Iowa from Ohio and had been a soldier and had received a pension. So on my next trip EAST I went to the Pension Department in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.. I learned that ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr., had been a soldier in the War of 1812-14 from Guernsey County, Ohio, and that he died at Chariton, Iowa, although buried at Batavia. This led me to an obituary, which said ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr. was born in Virginia. I began to visit the Iowa State Historical Library in Des Moines, where I learned about census returns and found a little book entitled "Early Records, Hamp­ shire County, Virginia". Eventually I made a trip to Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio and later to Hampshire County, Va. (now Mineral County, West Virginia.) It has taken a lot of searching of land records, census returns, cemetery tombstones and other records in Virginia, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. Many devoted people have helped me. I thank especially Mrs. Mary Prill and her husband for facts and records in Jefferson County, Iowa, and for reading tombstones in Jefferson County and Lucas County in Iowa and Macon County, Missouri. Also I thank her for finding another obituary of ELIJAH COLLINS, Sr., which told me more about his family. I thank Mrs. Carl Main for research in the Western Historical Society Library in Cleveland, Ohio. I thank Mrs. Ruth Slevin for many hours of intelligent research in the Indiana State Historical Library in Indianapolis, Indiana. ROY E .

In these times of tight budgets, it can be a challenge to find ways to support worthy causes. But here’s an idea: Why not brown bag it,and pass some of the savings on to TU? I Eating out can be an unexpected drain on your finances. By packing your lunch, you can save easy dollars, save commuting time and trouble, and maybe even eat healthier, too. (And, if you still have that childhood lunch pail, you can be amazingly cool again.) I Plus, when you share your savings with TU, you make a tremendous difference.Gifts to our Annual Fund support a wide variety of needs, from purchase of new equipment to maintenance of facilities. All of these are vital to our mission. I So please consider “brown bagging it for TU.” It could be the yummiest way everto support the University. I Watch the mail for more information.

DAVIS. NEW YORK: JOURNEYMEN PRINTERS’ CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION, No. 30 Beekman Street. 1871. REPORT OF Proceedings of the Twentieth Anniversary, AND OF THE RECEPTION HELD AT THE ST. JAMES HOTEL. In August, 1869, it was announced in a Convention held in Newport, R. I., that the second Decade of the National Women's Rights Movement would occur on the 19th and 20th of October, 1870, and that a committee must be appointed to prepare for its celebration. Such committee was appointed; and a call, embracing the important points of the one issued in 1850, was sent out in all directions. The invitation, cordial and earnest, was accepted by large numbers. The committee held a reception in the parlors of the St. James, and a collation was served at seven o'clock P. M. From the New York Sun. -WHAT THE PAPERS SAID ABOUT THE ST. JAMESRECEPTION. The parlors of the St. James Hotel were the scene of a delightful reception and reunion of the advocates of woman suffrage on Tuesday afternoon, between the hours of three and five. It was especially a meeting of reminiscences, recalling to many of the pioneers in the woman's cause hours of severe toil and labor, and some bitter experiences, not unmixed with times of rejoicing.

    BETWEEN THE COVERS RARE BOOKS CATALOG 199½: WOMEN A BRIEF NOTE: Why Catalogue # 199½? Because this catalogue is being sent only to a select group of people or institutions who have either frequently purchased books by and about women, or who otherwise seem to have expressed an interest in the topic. So consider yourself “select.” If this had ended up being Catalogue #200, all of our other collectors would wonder why they had missed the numerologically significant Catalogue #200 , leading to sadness, recriminations, and depression. Maybe even suicide, although we rather doubt it. While this mis-numbering might confuse future bibliographers, we are unapologetic. So now go forth, oh ye select few, and browse.

  • DOWNTOWN LAKE CITY BUSINESS HISTORY VOLUME 1 Lakeshore Drive and Washington Street
    DOWNTOWN LAKE CITY BUSINESS HISTORY VOLUME 1 Lakeshore Drive and Washington Street Researcher: Sharon M. Nelson Editor: Don Schwartz This survey records the evolution of downtown Lake City businesses from about 1860 to 1950. All possible efforts were made to place businesses in the correct location despite some incomplete and conflicting information. Current stores, if existent, are listed with 2017 date. Since Main Street was changed to Lakeshore Drive and Pearl Street changed to Lyon Avenue this survey is using Lakeshore Drive and Lyon Avenue for all businesses listed on these streets. The text included in this survey was taken from information found in Lake City newspapers, almanacs, telephone directories, and books (Lake City, Minnesota Vol. 1&2, Lake City, Our Historical Journey, and Lake City Remembers, Vol. I & II). Direct quotes are italicized with the source listed. All photos are all courtesy of the Lake City Historical Society. The survey divided into two volumes. Volume 1 contains the businesses located on Lakeshore Drive and Washington Street. Volume 2 contains the businesses located on Lyon Avenue, Center Street, Marion Street and Franklin Street. Volume 2 also has an Appendix containing a Lake City newspaper history, various articles about Lake City history, and a downtown Lake City business Index North Lakeshore Drive Northeast Side Between Chestnut Street & Lyon Avenue 122 N Lakeshore Drive Ed J.

Sanborn Collection 1. Biographical Information Franklin B. Sanborn (b. 1831 B d. 1917) was an influential American author, editor, journalist, abolitionist, and social reformer. He was born in Hampton, New Hampshire, on Dec. 15, 1831, the son of Aaron and Lydia (Leavitt) Sanborn. He graduated from Harvard in 1855 and became very active in the abolitionist movement, befriending Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Julia Ward Howe, William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Tubman, and others. He was close to John Brown, but prudently distanced himself for some years following the Harper=s Ferry raid and Brown=s execution. He was especially active in the free-state cause, and made several trips into the West. He was chairman of the Massachusetts Board of State Charities from 1874 to 1876, and inspector of charities from 1879 to 1889. In addition, he was a lecturer at Cornell, Smith and Wellesley Colleges, and at the Concord, Mass. School of Philosophy. He was a founding member of the American Social Science Association, the National Prison Association, the National Conference of Charities, the Clarke School for the Deaf, the Massachusetts Infant Asylum, and the Concord School of Philosophy. He was secretary or president of most of these organizations. From 1876 to 1897, he was the editor of the Boston Commonwealth, the Springfield Republican, and the Journal of Social Science.
