Guide to Marianne Moore Series VI Family Correspondence Series VI: Family Correspondence Family correspondence is arranged chronologically. Beginning in 1848, it includes letters to and from the Rev. John Riddle Warner (MM’s maternal grandfather) from the time of his early pastoral work in Pennsylvania. Most of these letters (1848-1859) are written by or to Henry and Mary Warner (his parents), Henry Warner (his brother), and Annie Warner (Mrs. Robert) Armstrong (his sister). Other letters addressed “Dear Brother: ae from his ministerial colleagues. Beginning about 1859 there are added letters to and from Jennie Craig, who became his wife in 1860; her brother, George Craig; and the Eyster family, relative of the Craigs. Many letters are addressed from Laurel Hill, Pennsylvania, home of Jennie Craig and her family near Gettysburg. Jennie and John Warner lived near Gettysburg after their marriage. Mary Craig Warner was born to John and Jennie Warner in 1862. In September 1863, Jennie Warner died as a result of the disease which infested the Gettysburg area after the Civil War battle there. Infant Mary went to live with her Warner grandparents in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). Letters from her to her “Pa” begin about 1870. About 1865, her father moved to Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. When Mary Warner reached high school age, she joined him, and attended the Mary Institute in St. Louis. She married John Milton Moore in 1884 and moved with him to Newton, Massachusetts, where their son, John Warner Moore, was born in 1886. While there, her husband suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mary Warner Moore returned to her father’s home in Kirkwood. Marianne Moore was born there in 1887. Mary Warner Moore’s letters enter the correspondence from about 1890. Her principal correspondents are “Uncle Mermod,” apparently a family friend from St. Louis, and Mary Craig (Mrs. Ira) Shoemaker, her first cousin. John Riddle Warner died in 1894 and Mary Warner Moore and her two children moved to Allegheny to live with their Warner relatives. The following year they resettled in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, not far from several families of Craig relatives who lived in Chambersburg and neighboring communities. In 1904, John Warner Moore left home to attend Yale University. At that time, Mary Warner Moore and Marianne Moore began their lifelong correspondence with him, often sharing the same piece of stationery. Marianne Moore began her years at Bryn Mawr College in 1905, and the three wrote round-robin letters, mailing the letter received on to the next person in line. Included occasionally during this period are letters to and from Mary Jackson Norcross, a very close family friend, daughter of the Moore’s pastor in Carlisle, who had graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1900 and who prepared Marianne Moore for her entrance examinations. In writing to one another, Mary Warner Moore, John Warner Moore, and Marianne Moore used nicknames. From about 1904-1913, the most common are Gater, Fang and Sissy for Marianne Moore; Fawn, Bunny, and Mouse for Mary Warner Moore; and Turtle, Toady, and Biter for John Warner Moore. Two close family friends also have nicknames Beaver for Mary Jackson Norcross and Ben or Benjamin Bunny for Alice Benjamin MacKenzie. After about 1913, when the Moores read Kenneth Grahame’s The wind in the willows, they adopted the names of characters in that book: Marianne Moore became Rat; Mary Warner Mooe, Mole; and John Warner Moore, Badger. These names survived (with others added in) throughout their lives, and became the names used for them by John Warner Moore’s family. Upon graduation from Yale in 1908, John Warner Moore took various teaching jobs at private schools in New Jersey. Marianne, after her graduation in 1909, studied at Carlisle Commercial College for a year, worked briefly in 1910 for Melvil Dewey in Lake Placid, New York, and taught at the United States Indian School in Carlisle (1911-1914), living at home. John Warner Moore attended Princeton Theological Seminary 1911-1913, and was ordained a Presbyterian minister. HIs first assignment was in Baltimore in the church of a Dr. Barr. In 1916, he was called to the Ogden Memorial Presbyterian Church in Chatham, New Jersey; in September of that year, all three Moores moved to the manse there. In 1917, John Warner Moore joined the Navy and by 1918 was a member of the chaplain’s corps, in which he remained until he retired after World War II. He married Constance Eustis in the summer of 1918 and was posted to (among other assignments) San Pedro, California (early 1920s), Brooklyn Navy Yard (late 1920s), U.S. Samoa (early 1930s), and Norfolk, Virginia (late 1930s). During World War II he served on the flagship of the Pacific Fleet under Admiral Nimitz. After retirement from the military, he joined the staff of the Gunnery School in Washington, Connecticut. He had four children, born ca. 1919-1928: Mary Marwick Moore, Sarah (Sallie) Eustis Moore, Marianne (Bea) Craig Moore, and John Warner Moore II. They called their aunt Marianne Rat or Craig. They addressed their grandmother, Mary Warner Moore, as Grandmary. When John Warner Moore joined the Navy, Marianne and Mary Warner Moore moved to 14 St. Luke’s Place, New York City, in September 1918. They stayed there until the autumn of 1929 when they moved to 260 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn. Mary Warner Moore died on 9 July 1947 and is buried in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Marianne Moore moved to 35 West 9th Street, New York, in the autumn of 1965 and died there on 5 February 1972. Her ashes are interred in Greenwood Cemetery, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. John Warner Moore died in 1977 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Series VI: Family correspondence, by date (rev. 12/90) VI:01:01 Family correspondence, March, 1848. 1 folder (1 leaf).

Such is the cautionary tale of the posh Café République, an extravagant enterprise that flourished for just a few years in downtown Washington in the 1910s, serving as a quintessential expression of the fragile exuberance of its times.

  • Some North American Birds in Panama
    422 J•w•, NorthAmerican Birds in Panama. I[AukJuly SOME NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS IN PANAMA. BY L. L. JEWEL, C. E. DUR•5'Gthe greater part of 1911 and up to September,1912, the author lived at Gatfin, Canal Zone, and nearly all Sundays and holidays (luring this period were spent in collectingand studying native birds. Naturally, many birds of the A. O. U. Check-List were observed, some resident in Panama and some transients or winter visitors. After July, 1911, records of the occurrence of suchhave beenkept as completelyas availabletime would allow. In many casesspecimens were taken as recorded.in the annotated list following. Gat fin is situated sevenmiles inland and directly south of Co16n, at the beginningof what are practically the first foot hills of the Isthmus. The coast-lineswings so far in just west of Co16n,how- ever, titat only three or four miles of low fiat land- some of it very marshy-- separatesGatfin from the bay. Indeed, salt water now comesup the old French canal, the East Diversion and the new American eanal, to the very door of Gatfin. The valley of the Rio Chagresis here about a mile and a half wide and is now, of course,filled acrossby the Gatfro locks,dam and spillway. This constructionwork has destroyedmuch cover,but on the other hand, the clearingsmade in and about the town of Gatfin and the partial filling of Gatfin lake have perhapsmade the locality more attractive to certain migrant birds from the north. To the south of Gatfin the ridgesdiverge rapidly with miles of the Black Swamp country stretchingbetween them and only a few thiekly grown knolls lessthan one hundred feet high scatteredhere and there.

  • The Frisco-Man, January 1912
    THE FRISCO-MAN 49 seriously hurt. The train was stopped and the conductor got back in time to hear the old woman say to her husband, as she sat there in a foot or two of mud: "Yon old fool, I told 3-on you couldn't make it!" Anotlicr illustration is a plain case of ignorance. Not long ago n \roman, taking her first ride on the cars, was on one of the Prisco flyers. When her station was called, she picked up her baby, walked out and jumped off the Past-moving train. Neither u-as hurt, but 1 guess the little intelligence she had was considerably shaken up, for she afterwards said "she 'lowed, when they called her town, it wns time to git off." But if there are some accidents that happen to be ludicrous, tlie majority are so very sad that we beg and implore for some movement to be started to get railroad men to be thinking to do away forever with carelessness. Be so determined to put an end to the mangling and maiming of men that in a very short time railroad accidents will be the rarest thing on record. Let us hope and pray that the time has come Pol. Frisco men to realize how much this safety movement is needed, and that it all de- pends on them to make it a grand -,L iccess. Good luck and speed results for safety first. They Are Not "Spotters." E. W. SEGRAVES. I take great pleasure, as a member of the Safety Committee, in writing through TIIEFiusco-MAX an aiiiclc asking your co-operation in the movement.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • (August 1916 and April 1918) the Black Market
    Volume 5. Wilhelmine Germany and the First World War, 1890-1918 The Black Market (August 1916 and April 1918) The black market survived as the competitor to the administered food supply. The forces of supply and demand thrived here, and practically any foodstuff could be found — for a price. The prolongation of the war fed the black market to the point where it became far more than a supplement; in the estimation of authorities, Germans were purchasing one-third of all food on the black market by war’s end. I. There is no doubt that the offences mentioned here currently endanger the interests of the state to a high degree, and are also rightly perceived by the people as especially grave. A mild punishment is thus likely to provoke a feeling of uncertainty and bitterness, whereas a quick and emphatic punishment not only would deter further attempts at the dangerous practice of price- gouging; it is also likely to affect popular morale in a desirable way. II. The merchant Alfred Bürger – who is working without pay in Auxiliary Service at the Statistical Office as a special inspector for the Office of Price Review – is trying to exonerate himself by citing remarks that I made about the black market in a meeting of the Office of Price Review on February 22. My remarks were to the effect that strict measures against the commercial black market are absolutely necessary and would also be enacted in a federal law that will be passed shortly, but that small-scale black-market transactions, usually on the basis of connections among relatives or friends, are today being quietly tolerated within certain limits.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.
