  • Theatrical Personalities of Old St. Paul Franj^ M
    MINNESOTA HISTORY VOLUME 23 • PUBLISHED IN DEC 1942 • NUMBER 4 Theatrical Personalities of Old St. Paul FranJ^ M. Whiting ACCORDING TO veteran troupers of the modern theater, there are three bad weeks in the show business — Christmas week. Holy week, and St. Paul. Whether Minnesota's capital city deserves such a reputation is largely a matter of opinion, for there is evidence that poor and mediocre companies have often played to empty theaters in St. Paul, while productions of outstanding merit draw packed houses. What­ ever St. Paul's present reputation may be, this much is certain — skepticism regarding the city's ability to support the theater did not arise until after the 1850's, for during that feverish decade St. Paul was one of the best towns for summer theatricals in the entire na­ tion. The financial boom, the flood of summer immigrants, the terri­ tory's reputation as an ideal vacation spot, and the Mississippi, which provided steamboat transportation for theatrical troupes from St. Louis, New Orleans, and Cincinnati, seem to have been primarily responsible for the theatrical prosperity of the period. At the same time the contributions of a few outstanding personalities should not be overlooked, for without them the first chapter in St. Paul's the­ atrical history would lose much of its color and fascination. Perhaps the first to deserve mention is none other than the fron­ tier Jack-of-all-trades, Joseph R. Brown. His achievements as a fur trader, lumberman, land speculator, legislator, politician, newspaper editor, inventor, and founder of cities are well known, but his unique place as an actor has been overlooked.

  • G:\Featherkile in Kentucky.Wpd
    2413 Creekridge Drive McKinney, Texas 75070-7792 April 1, 2004 Featherkile The surname Featherkile [Featherkoil, Featherkyle, Fethercile, Fetherkile, etc] is mentioned in sundry records. Featherkile appears to be an anglicized spelling of the German name Federkiel. Federkiel in German means a feather quill used in writing and comes from the words feder (feather) and kiel (quill or straw). The surname in the United States is extremely rare. Later immigrants from Germany preserved the German spelling of their name as shown in more recent US censuses. For example: Andrew Federkiel was born August 30, 1853 in Lichsbadt, Baden, Germany; died Sandusky, Sandusky County, OH, July 10, 1910. Andrew Federkiel married in Huron, OH, July 7, 1879, Mary Zimmerman. The family of Eulila Featherkile shown below probably arrived in American about 1775- 1780. George Fethergile was a Tithable in Nelson County, Kentucky July 28, 1785. He resided on Coxes Creek and Simpsons Creek in an area easterly to the county line and northerly to Chaplins Fork. He is shown on the Tithable Lists in 1789 in northwest central Nelson County when he paid one Tithe. George Featherkill of Nelson Co., KY, was in court in 1790: 1 County Court of Quarter Sessions, 1790-1791 : May 11, 1790: pages 122-124: Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Georg, Featherkill, on presentment for concealing a tithable [not reporting the same for tax]. Order dismissed. In 1790 George Featherkill is shown near McDonald's Run in Nelson County.

  • Economic&Fiscalassessment
    TENNESSEE NATIONAL GUARD Economic&FiscalAssessment Dr. Murat Arik | Director | MTSU Business & Economic Research Center Tennessee Leaders, I commissioned this Tennessee National Guard Economic and Fiscal Assessment to inform future decision making by increasing our understanding of the synergetic relationship between the Military Department, the communities in which we serve, private sector business, and the state as a whole. Over the ensuing several months, scholars at the Business and Economic Research Center of Middle Tennessee State University gathered and analyzed hundreds of relevant data points to produce this detailed study of the economic and fiscal impact of the Tennessee National Guard and the Military Department. The results were astounding… The Military Department directly employed 14,637 people, and generated a total of over 18,000 jobs across the state We have a significant employment, economic, and fiscal impact in every congressional district, and in 82% of Tennessee counties With $557 million in personal income, our presence generated over $888 million in business revenue, and $24 million in taxes – the rough equivalent in business revenue of General Motors and Nissan combined We provide our state and local stakeholders noteworthy services including emergency management, response, and recovery assistance, robust youth development programs, safety and security at special events, and a substantial contribution to Tennessee’s counterdrug effort and the Governor’s Task Force on Marijuana Eradication Aside from these business related statistics, our citizen Soldiers represent the very best of the Tennessee Volunteer spirit. Whether responding to the call to assist those in need here at home or fighting for our freedom around the globe, our young men and women get the job done in exemplary fashion.

  • Stephen Robinson, Sr. Temperance Hall's First Settler Compiled By
    Stephen Robinson, Sr. Temperance Hall’s First Settler Compiled by Jerry L. Winfrey From the book: Temperance Hall Remembers Book II A Brief History of Temperance Hall, Tennessee Compiled by Marjorie Hayes – January 1990 Published by Temperance Hall Community Club Pgs. 92 – 138 Stephen Robinson, Sr., my great•great•great•greatgrandfather, was the first settler to arrive near the present site of Temperance Hall. Stephen, a native of Virginia, and his wife, Elizabeth “Betty” (Holland) Robinson, sold their land in Cumberland County, Virginia, in 1797 to Field Robinson, his brother. Stephen, Elizabeth, and their family apparently left Virginia at that time to come to Tennessee. For, a son, John Robinson, was born near the settlement at Nashville in the newly organized state of Tennessee, on 27 January 1798. According to the history of DeKalb County, Tennessee, written by Thomas 0. Webb, Stephen Robinson first came to the area which is now DeKalb County about 1798 with Adam Dale, who was the county’s first permanent settler, and Leonard and John Fite, who were brothers. These men were looking for good land and brought the first wagon into the Smith Fork Valley. Stephen Robinson, Sr., returned with his family and house hold goods to become the first settler at Temperance Hall. In an account which was written on the life of John Elbert Robinson, Stephen's grandson, for Goodspeed’s history, it is related that John Robinson, the son of Stephen who was born near Nashville, was brought by his father while still an infant to the farm where John Elbert Robinson later lived.

  • Hawaiians in the Civil War March 2015
    Hawaiians in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This is a working document. The service of the soldiers and sailors listed here has been confirmed and corroborated by various sources. This may be the largest repository of API servicemen in existence, but it is not comprehensive. There are likely more who have been discovered by other researchers, and still others whose stories have yet to be recovered. Note on the term “Sandwich Islands:” In January 1778, sailing from Tahiti to North America while searching for the Northwest Passage, British vessels commanded by Capt. James Cook bumped into the Hawaiian Islands. Cook had his mapmakers label the place “Sandwich Islands” to honor Britain’s Earl of Sandwich, first lord of the admiralty. British maps spread the Sandwich Islands name widely in Europe and eventually America. Kamehameha I, who united the islands in 1795, rejected the British name. From the first written constitution in 1840, the name used was Hawaiian Islands. The same year, a government newspaper editorially proclaimed in an article entitled, “Hawaii versus Sandwich Islands,” that the citizens have ever used ‘Hawaii nei’ as applicable to the islands. Although the Hawaiian Islands government never overtly used “Sandwich,” it would respond to foreign governments’ use of it. Hawaiian citizens entering the United States, some of whom would fight in the US Civil War, traveled on Hawaiian Island, not Sandwich Island, passports. The Hawaiian names of each island were spelled irregularly by speakers of English, French, Spanish, or Russian
