It was begun in 1997, and has drawn heavily from contributions many people have made to The Wheelock Family Genealogy website at www.WheelockGenealogy.com. This website has drawn readers and contributors from all over the world, including the United States, Canada, England, Africa, Germany, and Uzbekistan. It has provided a means to disseminate information about the Wheelock Family, and to draw corrections and criticisms from many sources; and as a result has greatly facilitated the evolution and growth of the Wheelock Family tree. Many people have contributed to the information presented here. First and foremost are the Wheelock genealogists of the past who have gathered, compiled, and published genealogies long before the advent of computers made the job easier. Probably the earliest to compile a genealogy of the Wheelock Family in the United States was Carlyle Capron Wheelock, of Woonsocket, Rhode Founders Monument in the Center of Mendon, MA Island. At the turn of the twentieth century, C. C. Wheelock scoured the primary sources of New England, and corresponded with many Wheelocks across the United States. Anybody interested in Wheelock genealogy at the time probably corresponded with C. C. Wheelock. References to his work are to be found in the archives of many Wheelock family genealogists, and are occasionally found in works of local history. CCW gathered a prodigious collection of Wheelock records, but died before they could be published. In 1955 Winifred (Thomson) (Argersinger) Gonseth compiled the material into a book. 'Wheelock Genealogy', by Carlyle Capron Wheelock and Winifred (Thomson) (Argersinger) Gonseth can be found in the New England Historical and Genealogical Society in Boston, at the Special Collections Library at Dartmouth College, and, no doubt, at many other genealogy libraries. Marcus Warren Waite published a genealogy of the Wheelock Family of Calais, VT, in 1940. This book documents the genealogy of the Wheelock family in that town, starting with the Wheelocks from Charlton, Massachusetts who founded it. He has also compiled a 4 Acknowledgements comprehensive manuscript of Wheelock Genealogy, which is available at the New England Historical And Genealogical Society in Boston. Finally, Walter Tobey Wheelock, of Uxbridge, Massachusetts compiled a genealogy of the Wheelock Family in America, centering on his ancestors who settled in Uxbridge. This genealogy was privately published in 1969, and is available in many libraries. Elizabeth (Wheelock) Davis, daughter of Almon Milo Wheelock and Philomene Bourgeois, has compiled the most comprehensive genealogy of the Wheelock family that I have yet seen. She has done an extraordinary amount of research, and has been a helpful and enjoyable collaborator. Her son now (2006) maintains her database of Wheelock records. Special thanks are extended to those who contributed heavily to the early versions of this work, including Virginia (Rees) Burdick, Persis (Park) Ivett, Larry Danker, Betty (Wheelock) Sullivan, Christine (Bickford) Mclaughlin, and Theresa Ann (Crowell) Bickhart who provided material and inspiration. Finally, thanks go to many readers of and contributors to www.WheelockGenealogy.com, who have generously contributed material for this publication.

Benjamin took care to endow each of his male children with enough land to make a living. Between 1735 and 1740 he granted land to these three sons "in consideration of parental love". The land was in the County Gore, later to be annexed to Charlton. Two of the houses built by these men still stand, over 250 years later. Paul's house, on Gould Road, stands opposite Whee Laddie Pond, serving now (2004) as a religious retreat; Jonathan's house stands on Stafford Road, a few doors down from the Rider Tavern, built by his son, Eli Wheelock. When these houses were built, the County Gore was part of neighboring Oxford, and was poorly represented in town affairs. Unhappy with this situation, residents of the Gore petitioned to separate from Oxford and become part of Charlton. In 1750 Jonathan, David and others signed a petition to this effect. It was rejected, but in 1757 the wish of the petitioners was finally granted, and the County Gore became what is now known as the Charlton Northside. Jonathan, Paul, and David played significant roles in the early history of Charlton. All served on the board of selectmen at one time or another. Jonathan was was one of the first district officers elected in 1758 after the annexation of the Northside. Paul was a Captain in the local militia, and one of the wealthier men in town. David, along with his nephews Peter and Eli (and others) purchased a tract of land in Vermont which later became the town of Calais. His son, Abijah, became the first permanent settler of the town. Though David never settled there, two of his children, and several nephews and nieces did, giving rise to a line of Wheelocks there that still thrive. The Great Sickness In the summer of 1759 severe disease plagued the residents of Charlton. Referred to as the "great sickness", many families were devastated. It is not known for certain what contagion tore through the community that year, but it may have been influenza. Paul Wheelock's family seems to have been spared, but his brothers were not so lucky. David lost his wife and three children in late July and early August. Jonathan lost five children in late July. 6 Introduction The Revolutionary War At least nine Wheelock boys served in the Revolutionary War: Asa, Peter and Eli, sons of The Rider Tavern in Charlton, MA. Built circa 1793 by Eli Wheelock and Leonard Morey

Rieser ’44 Provost and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Jane Carroll Hanover, NH August 15 and 28, and October 22, 1996 Phonotape Nos. 1176 R547/1–5 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Leonard Rieser Interview INTERVIEW: Leonard Rieser INTERVIEWED BY: Jane Carroll PLACE: Leonard Rieser’s office Hanover, NH DATE: August 16, 1996 CARROLL: Today is the 16th of August 1996, and I’m speaking with former Provost and Dean of the Faculty Leonard Rieser here in his office in Hanover, New Hampshire. I was curious when you first came to Dartmouth. That was 1940? RIESER: As an undergraduate. CARROLL: As an undergraduate. How did you choose Dartmouth? RIESER: Your question’s very perceptive, as you’ll see from your answer. It was certainly my intention to go to Harvard, and my family’s intention; and as late as July of 1940 I was sitting at the camp where I was a counselor, talking to a friend with whom I planned to room in freshman dorms. We were picking a room. And I had a phone call from my home that a telegram had come saying something about “Harvard is sorry, but your score on your recent English exam meant that you would have to wait a year to come to Harvard.” That set in motion a search for an alternative. In retrospect, I’m surprised that I wasn’t more discouraged by that, or depressed, but it’s because I really hadn’t thought much about alternatives. I may have, earlier, applied to Reed College, I don’t remember, or whether I did it then.

  • What Is Early Childhood Education?
    preface I became a teacher of young children many years ago, when the field of early childhood education was quite different from what it is today. After graduating from college with an English degree, I got a job as a preschool teacher in a child care center. I will never forget my first day of teaching. One reason I remember it so well is that it was so long! Feeling completely incompetent, I seriously thought about not going back the next day. Then I realized that although I had a choice not to return, the children did not. They deserved a better teacher than I was at that time. As a result, I continued teaching, went back to school, and set out to learn as much as possible about child development and how best to teach young children. And I have been learning ever since. Why I Wrote This Book When I first began teaching, I realized that were too many things I didn’t know about child development, how and what to teach, how to communicate with families, how to positively guide children’s behavior—the list goes on and on. I wrote this book because I wanted to help ensure that every child has a qualified teacher from day one. In this book I share what I have learned about the competence of young children, their desire to learn engaging, challenging curriculum content, and effective ways of teaching. To achieve their potential, children need and deserve highly competent, well-educated teach- ers. My hope is that teachers, whether beginning their professional journey or continuing their professional development, will embrace new knowledge as well as the enduring val- ues of early childhood education, and encounter the sheer joy of teaching young children.

  • Four Sub-Types of Depression: a Self-Treatment Model
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Medical Hypotheses xxx (2008) xxx–xxx Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Medical Hypotheses journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/mehy Editorial A model for self-treatment of four sub-types of symptomatic ‘depression’ using non-prescription agents: Neuroticism (anxiety and emotional instability); malaise (fatigue and painful symptoms); demotivation (anhedonia) and seasonal affective disorder ‘SAD’ summary This article will present a model for how ‘depression’ (i.e. depressive symptoms) can be divided into four self-diagnosed sub-types or causes which might then be self-treated using agents available without prescription. (Another, much rarer, cause of depressed symptoms is the classical illness of ‘melancho- lia’, which when severe cannot be self-treated and typically requires hospitalization.) A self-management option and alternative is now needed due to the an inappropriate emphasis of modern psychiatry on treatment of imprecise syndromal ‘disorders’ which may entail treating ‘depression’ at the cost of making the patient feel and function worse. By contrast, the basic theoretical stance of self-management is that depressed mood should be seen as a result of unpleasant symptoms – and it is the symptoms that require treatment, not the mood itself. Furthermore, drugs (or other interventions) need to be clas- sified in terms of their potential therapeutic effects on these symptoms that may cause depressed mood. The four common causes of depressed mood considered here are the personality trait of Neuroticism; the state of malaise (fatigue, aching etc) which accompanies an illness with an activated immune system; demotivation due to lack of positive emotions (anhedonia); and the syndrome of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 42, 2013 111 Applying Concepts from Historical Archaeology to New England’s Nineteenth-Century Cookbooks Anne Yentsch This article describes a study of New England cookbooks as a data source for historical archaeologists. The database for this research consisted of single-authored, first-edition cookbooks written by New England women between 1800 and 1900, together with a small set of community cookbooks and newspaper advertisements. The study was based on the belief that recipes are equivalent to artifact assemblages and can be analyzed using the archaeological methods of seriation, presence/absence, and chaîne opératoire. The goal was to see whether change through time could be traced within a region, and why change occurred; whether it was an archetypal shift in food practice, modifications made by only a few families, change that revolved around elite consumption patterns, or transformations related to gender and other social forces unrelated to market price.
