100 Year Old Postcards

6/24/2012

4 Comments

 
Yesterday, I finished sorting the box of letters and photos handed down from Ethel Isabell Nelson (1890-1974). I think the best way to describe the experience is to quote my teenage son who said, "Mom, you sure seem interested in those letters."

Well, yes. I am. It seems like every time I have one question answered, there are several more wanting the same. Here's one example...

Last week's post was 1909: To Noah, A Letter From Home where we read a letter - or perhaps dissected would be a better word - from Noah's father, David Draper. The whole point of the letter was that David was hurt and couldn't run the farm any longer. He wanted Noah to come home to take over the chores and keep everything running smoothly.

If you recall the letter, it starts by saying... and remember, I'm quote it all verbatim...
         Grand Coulee Feb the 21 1909

 
Well Noah... 
You see, I assumed David was sending it to Noah who had gone ahead and applied for a homestead/bought land in Grand Coulee, Saskatchewan, in preparation to his marriage to Ethel.

As I looked at the other letters this week, however, I noticed that most of them had another location after the salutation. David doesn't use a saluation and so he doesn't have the second location.

On all the others, the first location - the one beside the date - is where the letter is from.

And the second location - beneath the saluation is where it's going.

With that thought process, last week's letter is from David, Sarah and Louie, who are all in Grand Coulee already. Of course, that means they didn't move out in the 4 months between David writing the letter and his passing away, but earlier. How much earlier? I don't know. But this is what I do know:

- 1901 Canada census records show the Draper's were still in Ontario.
- 1906 Saskatchewan census shows they hadn't arrived in the west yet.
- 1909 - Dec 29th,  Noah buys land in Saskatchewan.
- 1911 Canada census records show they were no longer in Ontario.

So the mystery is to find out when they moved from Ontario to Saskatchewan, and which members of the family moved with them. *Stay tuned as I will be posting updates as I find them.

I found 3 postcards that fit in this time period. Although they don't answer the question of the westward move, they provide clues toward the answer. First, let's look at a map stretching from Belhaven, Ontario which is where the Draper family was living, to Grand Coulee, Saskatchewan where they ended up.

Postcard #1 to Ethel Nelson

Author of Postcard: Sadye (Sadie) Nelson, 12 yrs old (1895-1970)
Dated: June 26, 1907
Addressed to: Miss Ethel Nelson, Belhaven, Ont.
Mailed from: Huntsville, Ontario, Canada (Green A on map)
Relationship: sister
Profession:  student 
Writing  instrument: Black ink, possibly fountain pen
Stamp: 1 cent Canada

Huntsville June 25
Dear Sister and all the rest.
We are all well. hoping you
are the same. we have
had 5 thunder storms here
since last Wensday. there
was a terrible storm here
yesterday. this picture is
right across the river from
us. Write soon and tell me
the news. Bye Bye now
S. N.

 

 

Miss Ethel Nelson
Belhaven
Ont.

Huntsville is/was where the people from Toronto and area go to vacation for the summer, like cottage country. I've found in other letters that the Nelson Family went up there every summer, so it's nice to see what it looks like.

We can add another piece to the puzzle:
 1907 - 17 yr old Ethel was still living at Belhaven.

Postcard #2 to Noah Draper

Author of Postcard: Percy R. Draper, 25 yrs old (1883-1939)
Dated: December 25th, 1908
Addressed to: Mr. NC Draper, Burks Falls, Ont (North of green A on map)
Mailed from: Ignace, Ont (Green B on map)
Relationship: Brother
Profession:  Farmer
Writing instrument: Pencil
Stamp: 1 cent Canada

NCD   Well you
will see by this that
we are on our way
to Toronto go by
Sudbury.  CPR
Percy

 

Mr. N.C. Draper
Burks Falls
Ont.

This postcard is one of the reasons I began to suspect that Noah's family had already moved from Belhaven, Ontario to Grand Coulee, Saskatchewan. It's Christmas Day.

Twenty-one year old Noah is in Burk's Falls, which is an hour or two north of Belhaven. The Huntsville resort in Postcard #1 is  between Belhaven and Burk's Falls. We don't know why Noah is there, but he's old enough to have gone out to get a job.

Noah's older brother, Percy, is on his way east - presumably to visit the Belhaven family they left behind. Toronto is one hour south of Belhaven. 

I like to think that Percy and Noah will meet at Belhaven for Christmas, but I really don't know. I need to find and decipher more letters. I'll also do more searches in the Burk's Falls area like check the directory/phone book, etc to see what I can dig up.

Another piece to the puzzle:
1908 - Percy is on an eastbound train, so he must be coming from Saskatchewan.

Since we know the Draper's weren't on the 1906 Saskatchewan census, the window of their move is now between June 1906 and Dec 1908.
~~~~~~~

Postcard #3 to Ethel Nelson

Author of Postcard: Ella (?) No further info is known at this time
Dated: February 4, 1910
Addressed to: Miss Ethel Nelson in Toronto, Ontario
Mailed from: Belhaven, Ontario
Relationship: ? possibly a friend
Writing instrument: Blue inked pen, possibly fountain
Stamp: missing
Picture
Picture
Dear Ethel
Hope you are
having a good time
I was to S.S. on Sunday
and Sadie said you
could have them with
fishers and I think that
will be all right if you think so.
Send the sample
if you think best
Don't stay too long.
Bye-bye  Ella (or Eulla)

Miss Ethel Nelson
1123 College St.
Toronto

Postcard #3 is a another puzzle:
- I don't know the author, Ella.
- I don't know what she means by 'fishers'.
- I don't know anything about the 'sample'.

However, this postcard is important because it's proof that Ethel lived in Toronto for a time before marrying Noah. In some of the other letters, mention is made of her time in Toronto, but until I read this, I didn't know any dates. It wasn't uncommon for people in this area to work in Toronto during the week, and go home for the weekends. Neither back then, or now. 

We now have the following information on Ethel:
1905 - age 15 - passed entrance exam for collegiate or high school
1908 - age 18 - worked in Toronto, although we don't know at what occupation

Again, the postcards are raising more questions, but like the letter, they're puzzle pieces in the life of Noah and Ethel.

Have you picked up anything from these postcards that I have missed?

1909: To Noah, A Letter From Home

6/17/2012

16 Comments

 
Two weeks ago, I posted about a box of letters and photos my husband inherited and that we've had in the house for several years - just sitting there. We've decided to share them online so all members of the family and anyone interested in history can read and enjoy them.

That first post was Noah & Ethel 1887 - 1911 where I showed early memorabilia of Noah (1887-1953) and Ethel (1890-1974). 1911 is when Noah and Ethel start exchanging letters upon their engagement, but there are several letters written to each of them prior to that which I wanted to share.  This is the first.

In order to maintain historical accuracy, this letter and others to follow will show the actual spelling and punctuation of the original letter. If there were only a few instances of misspelling, I would use [sic] after the incorrect word. However, that would take away from the authenticity of the letter as well as distract you from the letter's intent. 

So, I will display the original letter, then follow it with the transcription verbatim - as it was written.

Author of letter: David Draper, 1842-1909

Date of letter:
Feb 21, 1909
Addressed to: Noah Draper, 22 yrs old, Grand Coulee, Saskatchewan, Canada
Mailed from: North Gwillimbury, York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Relationship: Noah is David's youngest child
Profession:  Farmer (David's father's profession is listed as a yeoman (British farmer) although he was born in Canada.
Level of Education: Unknown. Usually, farmer's sons attended school for a very short time, if at all, as they were needed on the family farm.
Writing instrument: Blue Ink, but it looks like pencil marks that have been rubbed by age
Mentioned in letter: Persey aka Percy Roy Draper, 1883-1939, David's son, Noah's brother

Grand Coulee Feb the 21 1909
     Well Noah I thought

beter wait for them.
     I remain you D Draper
The letter is written on slightly thick, textured linen-like paper. Each page is 4.5 inches x 6.5 inches like you see above, but when opened, the 2 pages of the above letter are actually the front and back covers as seen below. When opened, the size is 9 inches wide by 6.5 inches  long.
Picture
Since Noah's father, David Draper wrote on the front and back cover, that left room on the inside for a few words by Noah's mom, Sarah, who started the letter, but only wrote one paragraph.  The rest of the letter is written by Louie, Noah's sister...


Part-Author of letter: Sarah Sophia Deverall, 1846-1930
Relationship: Sarah is Noah's mother
Profession: Farmer's Wife  (as listed in the 1901 census)
Level of Education:  Unknown
Writing Instrument: Black ink, looks like Fountain Pen or possibly inkwell


Part-Author of letter: Louie aka Sarah Louisa Draper, 1879-1920
Relationship: Louie is David's older sister
Profession: Farmer's Daughter (as listed in the 1901 census) 
Level of Education: Unknown
Writing Instrument: Black ink, looks like Fountain Pen or possibly Inkwell

David Draper passed away on June 21st, 1909 in Saskatchewan - 4 months to the day after he wrote this letter. He is buried in the family plot in Regina's oldest cemetary in the middle of the city.
Picture
Headstone for David Draper, his wife Sarah, and Noah's wife Ethel. One side reads Jennie F Draper, and the back reads Percy Roy Draper and his wife, Parthena. Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
We don't know if Noah ever made it back to Gwillimbury, Ontario after receiving his father's letter (above). Perhaps David realized that at 22 yrs, Noah wouldn't be back because he was working on his own land. And we don't know why David and Sarah uprooted their family and moved to Saskatchewan, or when they did it during those 4 months. With the survey work done, the new province of Saskatchewan was looking for settlers to work the wide expanse of prairie suitable for agriculture. David relied on Noah's help since the older boys had already left home to start families of their own. Perhaps David and Sarah left the family farm to one of them and decided to follow Noah out west.   

I wish I knew.

The bright spot is that I have many more of Ethel's letters to go through and the answer may well lie in one of those. I also have the internet to help with research. In the coming weeks and months, I'll bring more of Noah and Ethel's story. As I mentioned previously, the letters are simple missives about your average early 20th century Canadian family. I think. We shall see.
Are you familiar with genealogical research?
Would you like me to explain how I go about researching this family?
How I find the citations to prove dates, etc?

I am an amateur and learning as I go, but I'm willing to pass on what I discover as I work my way through the letters. If there's interest, I'll add a Genealogical postcript box to these posts specifically for this purpose.

Award-winning Florida author Louise M. Gouge writes historical fiction, calling her stories “threads of grace woven through time.”
 
With her great love of history and research, Louise has traveled to several of her locations to ensure the accuracy of her stories’ settings. When she isn't writing, she and her husband love to visit historical sites and museums.

Her favorite Bible verse is “He shall choose our inheritance for us” (Psalm 47:4), a testimony to her belief that God has chosen a path for each believer. To seek that path and to trust His wisdom is to find the greatest happiness in life.

 

Vintage Dolls, Vintage Recipe
by Louise M. Gouge

When my father went away to war (WWII), my mother and three older siblings moved in with my widowed, maternal grandmother, Lacy Cain. 
 
Picture
Grandmother Lacy Cain at 104 yrs old
I was born soon after that, and Grandmother was an important part of my life from that moment until she died at 104. Everyone in the family says she spoiled me, and I suppose that’s true. But she also set an example of patience and goodness that has stayed with me all these years. Once when someone was rude to her, she gave a gentle reply. Later I asked her why she
didn’t tell that person off. She quoted the Scripture, “A soft answer turneth away wrath.”  (Proverbs 15:1 KJV). While I must admit her answer annoyed me (I was about ten years old, so
maybe that was conviction about my own unruly temper), I have never forgotten her Christ-like attitude.
Picture
Lacy Cain, 20 yrs old, circa 1895
Grandmother was born in 1875, and she was a true Victorian lady, despite modest means. She was an excellent seamstress and made many of my clothes. She also crocheted. When I was about five years old, she crocheted some beautiful doll clothes for me and put them on small display dolls.
Picture
Picture
While the dolls were long ago broken from being played with often, I still display the clothes on new dolls. I also made a shadowbox containing Grandmother’s picture and a few of her belongings. Each time I pass this little display, I think of Grandmother and the way she
chose to live her 104 years of life for Jesus Christ.
Picture
Another enduring legacy my grandmother left is one I passed on to my children and grandchildren. When she was young, a neighbor gave her a recipe for Lepkuchen, German Christmas cookies. These delicious molasses cookies are best made up in late November, then stored to age.

Grandmother Cain’s Lepkuchen (Christmas Cookies)

Picture
Photo credited to The Opulent Opossum (permission pending)
2 quarts of molasses
1/2 to 3/4 lb. of citron or mixed candied fruits
1  1/2 lb. shortening
1 quart to 3 pints chopped nuts (mixed, pine or walnut)
1 ounce nutmeg
1/2 cup cinnamon
3 tablespoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup soda
2 cups sour milk (or cultured buttermilk)
2 cups hot water
1  1/2 oz. Lemon extract
1 box raisins
10 lbs. of flour (pre-sifted is good)
 

Make dough up stiff at night.

Next morning, divide into batches.

Roll as thin as possible.

Cut into squares.

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes.

 ***Long ripening improves the flavor of these cookies.

If desired, an icing of confectioner’s sugar and water may be spread thinly over
cookies.
 
Loosely translated, Lepkuchen means “sweets of happiness.”
Recipe comes from Grandmother Lacy Aris Neal Cain (1875-1979) and was handed down to daughters and subsequent generations. Original recipe comes from Germany by way of Lydia Pregge, or Prague, (not known to be related to Cain family) in Sedalia, Missouri, on November 12, 1922.

Noah & Ethel 1887-1911

PictureNoah Clement Draper c1917
This week on Author Memories I'd like to introduce you to Noah Clement Draper, the man who owned the Kodak 3A Pocket Camera which I featured on the post, Early 1900 Camera Talk  just 2 weeks ago.

I'd also like to introduce Ethel Isabell Nelson who took Noah as her husband, but that story is for another post.

Ethel was a very special woman who kept every postcard and letter exchanged between herself and Noah, as well as letters from other family members and important records like mortgages, death certificates, etc. These records are a treasure for the genealogist because they not only confirm the family heirarchy and places of residence, they show the actual handwritten signatures which can be used to compare against church and public records, partial or unsigned letters, etc. 

Several years ago, my husband, Nelson, inherited Ethel's box of treasures and began the slow process of discovering his family history. However, he kept the box tucked away for safe-keeping when he didn't need it for research on www.ancestry.com.

A couple months ago while I was searching the box for info on his Uncle Nelson, I discovered Ethel's treasures. Many of the letters are 90-100 years old. An ivy leaf that Noah sent from England is still intact, but not for long if not cared for. Postcard-photos and ink are fading. One letter has mould forming. A rusty pin is staining a document. And a small leather notebook with addresses has the smell and white mould of a damp basement. We cannot leave these things as they are and yet they are not important documents a museum would want. Without temperature-control, they will continue to disintegrate.  Since our basement flooded, I've also begun to worry about disasters out of our control... fire and vandalism, etc.

So, we've come to a decision to digitize everything for preservation. And we're taking it a step farther - Ethel kept those treasures her whole life. Why? I believe she meant to share them with her progeny but couldn't with yesterday's technology. We can do it with what we have today. However, the letters are not exciting reads. They are homey missives about a guy and a gal separated by circumstance. They talk about family members and daily chores, kissing babies and lonely days. And if you ever wanted to know how Canadians really talk, these letters will show it. Just don't laugh too hard. Come on, join us on this journey...

Noah & Ethel 1887-1911

Noah Clement Draper (b1887) and Ethel Isabell Nelson (b1890) grew up in the same small community of Belhaven, north of Toronto, Ontario on the shores of Lake Simcoe. According to the 1891 census, their fathers were both farmers, their mothers worked at home, and the farms were located next door to each other. Noah and Ethel's story is your basic boy/girl next door romance.

This 1897 photo shows Noah and Ethel attending Belhaven School together. Noah is on the far right of the back row (marked Dad), while Ethel is near the centre of the front row (marked Mom).
Picture
Ethel Isabel Nelson is in the front row (marked Mom), and Noah in back right (marked Dad).

The following certificates say that the person named has passed their entrance requirements to a Collegiate Institue or High School. I could be wrong, but I think this means they've graduated today's equivalent of high school and are ready for college/university, etc.

Noah's certificate is dated 1903 which would put him at 16 yrs old when he received it.
Picture

Ethel was 15 years old when she received her certificate a couple years later.
Picture
Education Certificate for Ethel Isabell Nelson, 15 yrs old, dated 1905
At this point, I can't find any written records to cover the years from 1905 to 1910 except for one letter from a sibling which mentions Ethel working in Toronto for part of that time. However, the letters start in earnest in February 1911 when Noah heads west to build a house for his sweetheart, Ethel.

Hopefully, by the time I post the next installment of Noah and Ethel's journey I will have had a chance sort through Ethel's letters more thoroughly. One thing that is sorely lacking in Ethel's box of memories is a photo of herself -- a photo of anyone, really. I've posted the one above of Noah when he joins the British Navy in 1916, but that's about it. So, if any readers are from the Draper or Nelson clans and you have a photo or two, can you please email it to me using the contact form on this site? Thank you.
Your turn:
What would you do if you were given a box filled with 100 yr old letters?

Posts relating to this one:
Noah Clement Draper (1887-1953)  - Early 1900 Camera Talk
Nelson Clement Draper (1916-1986) aka Big Nelson - Uncle Nelson's WW2 Kit Memorabilia 
Nelson Clement Draper (1916-1986) aka Big Nelson - WW2 Ammo-Making Equipment

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And a note on my giveaways - I've discontinued the weekly draw when it pertains to my own posts since it wasn't serving it's intended purpose of bringing in more readers - at least none that left comments.

Authors who stop by with a post and and want to feature their books will still hold giveaways, which will be announced on Facebook, loops and bookclub groups, etc.  So if you're mainly interested in the giveaways, your best chance is to sign up for my email notifications of new posts.

Thank you.
Anita Mae.
