  • The Cemetery Next Door Get to Know Some of Your Late Neighbors Interred in the Little Methodist Episcopal Cemetery on Cherry St
    The Cemetery Next Door Get to know some of your late neighbors interred in the little Methodist Episcopal Cemetery on Cherry St. June, 2019 Chanler/Aldrich Servants In the cemetery three tall tombstones belonging to three servant women stand near the road, and that of a fourth stands almost at the very back. Three white women are buried in a plot purchased by the Chanler family of Rokeby, specifically as a resting place “...for much loved Rokeby servants who had died without relatives or another home place,” according to Chanler descendant and former Red Hook Town Historian, J. Winthrop Aldrich. The fourth, a black woman, is in the back. Today, families having servants sounds problematic at best, but well into the 20th century it was typical for any family who had the funds to have at least one. These paid helpers often resided in the same dwelling as their employers; women to do the wash, make meals, care for children or elders, and men to work the grounds, do the driving, or manage the horses. Small families like the Losees of Upper Red Hook would have an Irish woman to help. Farm families would often take in local children from poor or large families to help with farmwork. The Chanlers were wealthy and could keep several ser- vants in their mansion homes to help them with all manner of tasks, and their devotion to them lasted well after either party had passed on, giving a nice resting place for “...much loved Rokeby servants who had died without relatives or another home place.

  • Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection, Located at 59 East 2Nd Street in Manhattan, As a New York City Landmark
    October 10, 2008 Hon. Robert Tierney, Chair NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission 1 Centre Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10007 Dear Chairman Tierney, We write to request that the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission consider the designation of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection, located at 59 East 2nd Street in Manhattan, as a New York City Landmark. The stately Russian Orthodox Cathedral (at 74’ across, it stands the width of 3 city lots), is one of only three Russian Orthodox Cathedrals in Manhattan. The different phases in the building’s history speak to both the greater immigrant experience in New York, and more specifically to the experience of the Russian Orthodoxy in the first half of the 20th Century. The cathedral, made of rock‐cut Kentucky limestone, was designed in the gothic style by the renowned architect Josiah Cleveland Cady, who would later build such iconic New York City landmarks as the original Metropolitan Opera House, and the West 77th Street frontage and auditorium of the American Museum of Natural History, among others. The history of the cathedral dates back to 1867, when houses stood in its place. That year, the New York City Mission Society converted the house on the easternmost lot into the Olivet Chapel. The church catered to the local immigrant population, offering services in German, Hungarian, Italian, and Russian. In 1891, Cady laid the cornerstone for the current cathedral, which was originally named the Olivet Memorial Church. At this time, the Mission Society was focusing on a new institutional approach, consolidating its programming into churches which provided ample space and resources to serve needy communities.

HENRY’S INFLUENCES AND WORKING METHODS Presented by Gary Kass A candidate for the degree of Master of Arts And hereby certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________ Professor Tom Quirk ________________________________________ Professor John Evelev ________________________________________ Professor Steve Weinberg ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks to Helen Snow, North Carolina Librarian of the Greensboro Public Library, who mailed me a copy of the notes taken by C. Alphonso Smith, O. Henry’s first biographer, when he interviewed Anne Partlan in New York on February 11, 1916. Thanks also to the librarians who helped me locate material from vol. 2 of Success magazine. Those issues, dating from December 1898 through November 1899, are missing from the microfilm record, having apparently never been photographed. I am grateful to Ann Dodge, coordinator of reader services in the Special Collections Department of John Hay Library at Brown University, who located the original issues on her shelves, and to Kathleen Brooks, library technical assistant, who kindly paged through each issue in search of Partlan material. In the process, she discovered “One Woman’s Hard Road to Fortune,” a profile of Partlan which I had not seen cited anywhere and which I was unaware of.
