FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The Colorado State women's basketball team (23-6, 15-3 MW) concluded one of the program's most successful regular seasons on Friday night with a 58-46 win over Border War rival Wyoming (19-10, 10-8 MW) at Moby Arena in front of 3,119 fans who were in attendance to cheer on CSU's three seniors one last time.
"This was a great win for our seniors," Head Coach Ryun Williams said. "I'm really proud of what they have done for this program and how they have been so important to turning this program around."
With the win, the Rams finished 14-1 at Moby Arena, marking the most home wins for the program since the 2002-03 campaign, and improved their winning streak to 13 games in front of their home fans, fourth most all-time. The 3,119 fans also mark the highest attendance Colorado State has had all season.
Freshman guard Ellen Nystrom led all scorers with 20 points on 9-12 shooting, and also tallied six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Junior guard Gritt Ryder was second on the team in scoring, finishing with 15 points, six rebounds and six assists, while senior forward Sam Martin concluded her playing career at Moby Arena with a 12-point, five rebound effort against the Cowgirls.
"It's been a great four years, and to end it like this just means everything to me," Martin said.
The Rams shot 43 percent from the field against Wyoming, but relied heavily on their great defensive play to propel the team to the victory. The Cowgirls were held to just 35 percent shooting, including 1-10 from three-point distance, and were forced into 19 turnovers which Colorado State converted into 20 points.
CSU was especially effective with its play on junior forward Kayla Woodward, who came into the game ranking third in the conference with 17.4 points per game.
Utilizing the defensive matchups of Nystrom, Ryder and sophomore guard Caitlin Duffy, the Rams held Woodward scoreless for just the second time in her career, as the junior forward went 0-7 from the field.
"To hold Woodward to zero points tonight is impressive," Williams said. "We just wanted to turn ourselves loose and go compete."
Ryder was instrumental on the defensive end for CSU with four steals and two blocks, while Martin tallied four blocks as the Rams made it impossible for Wyoming to get in a groove with eight blocks and nine steals as a team.
Along with points off of turnovers, Colorado State held a significant advantage on the interior, outscoring the Cowgirls 34-24 in the paint.
After the game, CSU's three seniors, Martin, Alicia Nichols and Hayley Thompson were all honored for their key contributions over their careers, and the team was presented with the Mountain West Trophy, after winning the regular-season Mountain West title for the first time since 2001-02.
The Rams enter the Mountain West Conference Tournament as the No. 1 seed and receive a first-round bye before traveling to Las Vegas to take on the winner of the No.8/9 matchup between Utah State and New Mexico on Tuesday at 11 p.m. MT. The game will be streamed on the Mountain West Network.

So much for a boring summer for the stock market -- we might actually have to go into the office. In the meantime, let's get straight to the "selling signal" charts we know you want to see after yesterday's stock market carnage.
This chart shows the most recent combination of microtrends that have existed since Nov. 15, 2012, for stock prices with respect to their underlying trailing year dividends per share, which we're treating as if they were all a single trend by exploiting the fractal nature of stock prices. The one thing that should leap straight out at you is that the daily stock price for June 20, 2013, has fallen well below the "normal" range where we would expect stock prices to be if they were behaving, well, normally. And, normally, we would take that as a signal to sell.
But as we've shown previously, this may not be as clear a sell signal as we might hope. It might, after all, just be an outlier for the overall trend in stock prices, and stock prices might quickly go back to be within their "normal" range. And if that's the case, we would find ourselves in the situation where we sold far too soon, where if we chose to re-invest, we would have to buy back into the market at a higher price than where we exited it. We would effectively be losing money in not being able to buy the same number of shares we once owned and, of course, the transaction costs.
To avoid that potentially costly situation, we'll concern ourselves more with the trajectory of the 20-day moving average for stock prices, which we'll use as our true signal to sell. Here, if we see the 20-day moving average of the S&P 500's daily closing values drop below the normal range where we would expect stock prices to be if the trend were intact, that will be our more conservative signal to sell.
By doing this, we're trading a little bit of additional short-term loss for the potential upside that stock prices might turn quickly around and resume following their previous trend. The important thing to remember, though, is that we might still be saving ourselves quite a bit of loss to the downside if we waited for a sell signal using the macrotrend (the microtrend in our first chart covers the area inside the purple rectangle on the macrotrend chart).
The key thing to remember about this method is that it works under limited circumstances, and applies only when we've had both generally rising stock prices and, more importantly, generally rising dividends per share. Its primary purpose is to help minimize losses after an established trend has clearly broken down. For what it's worth, we don't expect that we'll see the 20-day moving average for the S&P 500 move outside the "normal" range, where we should expect it to be until the middle of next week at the earliest. So certain doom isn't imminent -- it's just lurking around the corner.

That is the question!A question comes up periodically in the various genealogy groups I belong to: whether to keep a single genealogy database, or separate databases for husband & wife, or maybe a separate database for unverified information, or... well, there are endless possibilities here, and I must admit, I've tried a few! On my own computer, I have just had Legacy create a list of available databases for me to open, and I am appalled to see that there are 32 (!) databases in the list. A few, it appears, may be duplicates.

A few are databases which were created by other people and shared with me in their entirety. For example, there are a couple iterations of my cousin's database which includes our common grandparents, and everyone else in her tree. I would never consider adding this to my own database, but it's handy if I want to see whether her data includes anything for our common ancestors which I don't already have. I'm not sure I've actually done so more than once or twice over the years.

Another is a database for one of my lines--a very voluminous line, indeed--which I was able to download from a website. I haven't added this one to my own database either, mainly because a lot of people in it were already in my database, and I don't feel like going through the Merge process for so many people. Sometimes I add individuals manually from that database to my own if, for example, I want Legacy to figure out that Person X is, say, my seventh cousin, once removed.

One database is the family tree of a friend, made when I was trying to interest her in genealogy.

The rest are an assortment of my own lines which include a few separate surname databases and various versions of my main database. Honestly, at this point, I can't tell you which of them are still useful and which are obsolete.

The fact is that I really use only one of these 32 databases on a regular basis. That is the one which contains all of my lines, all affiliated lines that are interesting to me, and all data that pertains to my children and their children (and thus includes whatever I have on spouses past & present). It would be a swell example of revisionist history to remove my ex-husband from my database and put his tree in a separate database, but we were married, we had kids, and consequently he and his relatives are in my children's family tree, and thus they are in mine for better or worse. That's how family trees come into existence in the first place, isn't it?

One tree... so much simpler! I, for one, would not want to waste my time switching between databases all the time. The extra annoyance of that would diminish my enjoyment of the pursuit. And, as others have observed, sometimes you find something unexpected--one lineage being connected to another several generations back, for example, and that adds considerably to the fun and interest value of research.

My personal database is not synced with any online tree, as I regard online trees as an entirely different matter. On Ancestry, I've set up 24 different trees, most of which are marked Private and were set up solely for the purpose of exploring shaky leaves for a particular individual or surname. Any important data found as a result has been added manually to the database on my own computer, and I could probably delete most of those trees at this point without a backward glance.

If I add something questionable to my database, I leave myself a note in the Notes section. I discovered a long time ago that perfectionism takes the joy out of doing stuff, and pretty soon, if you can't be perfect, you don't even want to play anymore. So I have let go of the idea of database perfection, and I just aim for 'as good as it can be right now' and make notes.

I do genealogy. How many times have you heard someone say, in response to that, "ours has already been done." Translation: "There's no reason for me to look into it." That's too bad, because looking into it is the fun part! I'm perfectly happy to say that my database is never going to be the ultimate answer to the world's genealogy, or even to just my kids' genealogy. I think of it more as a tool for my own use in doing my research, and if there are unanswered questions in the Notes field, maybe someday my kids will discover how much fun it is to go looking for their own answers to history. I would hope my database is only the beginning. In other words, it's the road map, not the trip.TKhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212482312288155036.post-83525208645741362852016-04-10T06:37:00.000-04:002016-04-10T06:37:41.014-04:00Royalties?

Some of them come to us when our parents or grandparents pass on. When there are no children to inherit them, many times these personal treasures are handed over to second-hand dealers who sell them, and they end up being purchased by others who may or may not regard them as valuable historical items.

Some people use them in collage or craft projects--yes, I know, we are genealogists here and we are all shuddering at the very thought! We would never do that!

Some people recognize that the items may be of value to someone now or in the future. The first step they take is to digitize the items and post them online somewhere, in hopes that a family member will come upon them and claim them. I've done that myself here at Before My Time, and was able to turn over a couple different items to people who were glad to get them. I have to admit, it's a little bit thrilling to be able to do that, and maybe all the moreso because I waited years for the items to be found!

And what about our own archives that we, as genealogists and family historians, have devoted untold hours of our lives building? What if our own descendants are not interested in inheriting and making a safe and thermally proper home for our real family treasures--great grandfather's portrait and communion certificate, grandma & grandpa's marriage license, that box of tintypes and daguerrotypes and cabinet cards? Etc!

I'm no authority on how to handle this problem, but it seems to me that if there's no family member waiting impatiently to claim these items, maybe the best thing to do with them is to inquire at facilities whose business it is to maintain historical and research materials. The items may be offered to local or state organizations such as libraries and genealogical or historical societies. These are the places you and I would check if we were researching our ancestors, aren't they? It just makes sense to try to find a home for the items at a place where someone would come looking for them someday.

I have found items of interest for my own research in several such places. In addition, I happen to know that a cousin of mine was able to place such a collection at a well-established historical society which welcomed the items, and they'll be available there for generations to come.

In the long run, that may be a much better idea than trying to hand off items to family members whose interest level in family history is unremarkable, which is nothing but a short-term solution to the long-term problem of maintaining historical items.

TKhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212482312288155036.post-87315610204276407612016-02-28T08:38:00.000-05:002016-02-28T08:40:13.810-05:00The Winter of My Genealogical ContentSo, here's what happened...

I've been working on a book pertaining to one of my old New England lines. The family was voluminous, and I must have about 100,000 cousins in that line, counting the dead ones. They're a source of endless fascination, many of them having lived quite public lives, leaving behind a huge paper trail which includes not only the usual and fairly humdrum birth, marriage, and death documents, but also newspapers, magazines, and books written by, for, and about them. Well, because I just don't know when to stop, my book had to be broken into two books... no, wait, three... three books, yes, that should do it... or maybe four? Well, in truth, the collected materials in this line could fill a whole set of encyclopediae or possibly a medium-sized library if winter goes on much longer.

Anyhow, today's little topic begins with what I found a week or so ago. I was looking online for a photograph of one of these particular cousins. He was a well-known magazine editor, so I was sure there'd be a photo of him somewhere. And in the course of my Google-search, I happened to find his full name used as a first and middle name for someone who had an entirely different surname, one I hadn't come upon before. Surely a cousin!, my genealogical experience cried out. I must digress and research this person! (...because around here, that's how we roll.)

Well, yes, of course, he was a cousin on his mother's side, she being a direct descendant of the encyclopedia family. But wait, what about his wife? Her surname slipped into my gray matter like a greased pig, and synapses started firing, and before long, I realized where I'd come upon her unusual surname before. Here, let me explain.

The encyclopedia surname comes to me through my maternal grandfather, who was of English descent. He married (perhaps to his mother's consternation?) a woman of European descent whose ancestry in this country goes back only a couple of generations, her grandparents all having come over in the mid-1800s on various ships.

And it was one of those ships that was sailing around in my gray matter which now called out to me, as it bore the same unusual surname as this new cousin's wife. Could they be related, I wondered, the cousin's wife and the man whose name was immortalized on a ship that carried some immigrants to the New World in the 1800s? I must digress and research this person! (...because around here, as I mentioned, that's how we roll.)

Well, dear reader, would you be reading this story now if they weren't related? No! No, you would not! Of course they were related, she being a direct descendant of the man for whom the ship was named.

Now, I must admit and you probably already surmise, I'd researched this man a year or two ago when I found the record of my maternal grandmother's ancestors arriving upon the ship bearing his name. What did he do, I'd wondered, to have a ship named after him? Of course, I did digress at that time to search for the answer to that question. And although I did not find any specific answer--as in, "A ship was named for him because..."--I did find that he'd built something huge which was extremely useful to the world in its time, and I felt justified in jumping to the reasonable conclusion that someone thought to honor him in a shippy way, and I'd thought the story interesting enough that I put together at least four pages about it for the book I'm making about my grandmother's European lineage.

Thus it was that I had a little jump-start on the research of this new cousin's wife's ancestry, and plenty more help came in the form of a genealogy book pertaining to her family which was conveniently digitized (the book, not the family) and placed online for my quick edification. Glory, hallelujah! It was not this easy in the olden days! You know, back in '92.

For awhile, I thought it odd that the family genealogy book did not mention that a family member had had a ship named after him, which seems quite a big deal to a non-ship-connected person such as myself. After awhile, though, and upon learning more about the family, it occurred to me that perhaps it wasn't such a big deal if this were a ship-connected family, and that possibly it was a family-connected ship. If that were the case, I suppose it would be unnecessary, and probably even a bit gauche, to mention it in the family genealogy book. I guess I could research it more, but that might be a bigger digression than I'm willing to embark upon, having been quite spoiled by Google at this point despite not finding this particular answer there.

Anyhow, with information practically throwing itself at me (much faster than I could have taken notes with a pencil back in '92, I must say), I quickly learned that the movers and shakers of the New World spent a lot of time watching each other and writing about each other and engaging each other in projects large and small. My new-found cousin, for example, had a well-known architect build a summer mansion--um, I mean, a summer cottage, on oceanfront property (where else?)--for him and his ship-connected wife. It had a charming name, of course, and I had to digress and research this mans-... I mean, cottage (...because--well, you know why).

It was quite a grand cottage. To give you some idea how grand a cottage it was, I can tell you one of the things I found out about it: Mrs. John Jacob Astor rented it one season and made it the venue of her daughter's wedding. So, on the scale of How-Grand-Was-It?, you'd have to say its score was Astor-nomical.

This was not the kind of cottage that falls into disrepair over the decades. In fact, it was repair which sparked its unfortunate multi-million-dollar demise a short time ago. Yes, it's toast now. No loss to the family of my research though, having been sold long ago...

...unless, perhaps, the owner at the time of the fire happens to be one of my 100,000 cousins. Maybe I should digress and research that?

How Detroit Got Laid Out. Doin' my best to spice up history and bring your attention to what is quite possibly the best explanation you will ever get about why Detroit is laid out the way it is. Where has this movie been all my life?

You will have a full minute of beginning credits--plenty of time to go hot up your cup of coffee or clear enough room on your desk so you can lean back and put your feet up.

I know, I know... 15 minutes is a huge time commitment. Just do it.

Detroiters will be amused by the narrator's pronounciation of one of the main drags, Gratiot. For those of you who don't live here, the rest of us do not say Grah-zhit. In fact, I'd venture to say that no one in the known universe ever said Grah-zhit except the narrator of this movie. Say Grass-shit. Go ahead, say it. Run it together and don't worry about those esses. It's Grass-shit. And there is no Warrant Avenue. Apparently the narrator of this movie was nearsighted and misread Warren. Just sayin'.

For quick reference on other detroit street topics, here are some links:

I took my 94-year-old dad on a little joy-ride out Grass-shit to Richmond yesterday, and the numbered mile-road signs were very nice for noting our progress.

Or, more specifically, other people's Sedgwick lineage. You see, the line goes all the way back to the 1600s when Cromwell's Major General Robert Sedgwick came over. Long story short: babies were made, and I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that the Major General's descendants, when you include the dear departed, number in the thousands.

Of those thousands, a goodly number have led their lives in the public eye, and of course some of the live ones still do. You surely know of some of them. For example, my 6th-cousin-twice-removed, Tod Sedgwick, was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia in 2010. While there, he was also the keyboard player for the Philanthropy Band. Sedgwick fans will want to see at least the first three videos in the Philanthropy Band playlist I've put together on YouTube, as Tod speaks a bit in the first two (the second is just a short Christmas greeting), and he rocks a great keyboard boogie in the third. You'll meet his spouse too, a nice point for the genealogically inclined Sedgwick fan.

Okay, I was just kidding about you knowing who the Ambassador to Slovakia was. You didn't, did you? No, I thought not. But you'd have to be living under a rock not to know my 7th-cousin-once-removed, Kyra Sedgwick. And of course you know her spouse, my 7th-cousin-once-removed-in-law, Kevin Bacon. Did you know the two of them are cousins? Here, I'll let Henry Louis Gates explain that one:

Actually, even without my direct Sedgwick cousin connection to Kevin Bacon, he and I are pretty tight. My Bacon Number is 2:

I was in "The Last Innocent Man" with Ed Harris.

Ed Harris was in "Apollo 13" with Kevin Bacon.

Okay, I was only an extra, but still. I know you're as disappointed as I am that my scene does not appear in any of the clips featured in this report:

But I digress. We're talking about the Sedgwick line. The most recent Sedgwick in my own lineage was my 3rd-great-grandmother, Tryphena Sedgwick, who married Micajah Pettis. Now, I've noticed in my stalking of the Sedgwick line that it's been a fairly consistent practice over the centuries to use Sedgwick as a middle name when it's been lost as the surname. Such was the case when Micajah and Tryphena named their firstborn son Irving Sedgwick Pettis.

However, Irving was not my ancestor; his brother Darius J. Pettis was. I don't know what the J stands for, but clearly it does not stand for Sedgwick. Darius and his wife Kate Efner were the parents of my great-grandmother Kate E. Pettis, and I think her E stands for Efner.

Kate E. Pettis married Milton E. Kerr, and it was often said that his E stood for Efner, but that's highly unlikely, isn't it? He had no Efner ancestor, and was born and named a full quarter of a century before he married Kate Efner Pettis. Together, however, they named their firstborn son Milton E. Kerr, and I believe that E does, in fact, stand for Efner. However, it was not Milton who was my grandfather. It was the second Pettis son.

My grandma used to call my grandpa R.P. for short. His name was Rosmer Pettis Kerr so, you see, he didn't get the Sedgwick middle name either. He and my grandma had daughters only, so the Sedgwick middle name did not go to them, nor did it go to any of their children.

Now, the fact is that I did have a son to name, but that was long before my interest in family history became a thing. I would no more have thought to name him Something Sedgwick Something than to name him Moon Unit Something. Oh, wait, Moon Unit is a girl's name, isn't it? Well, I guess that proves my point anyhow.

I have five grandchildren, none of whom have the Sedgwick middle name, nor does my great-grandchild have it. At some point there may be other great-grandchildren, but it would probably be unrealistic of me to think that, of all the names in their family trees, Sedgwick would come up as a first choice for a middle name. But who knows? It could happen.

Anyway, as you may know, it's my habit to store pretty much everything I know and some of what I don't know in print-on-demand books that nobody will ever read. To date, I've made more than two dozen titles, at least two of which my children have been instructed to burn without reading in the event that I die without already having burned them as my last final act on earth. I'm sure they'll do that. They don't find me very interesting!

I have at least another dozen titles in progress, one of which has turned out to be a motley collection of Sedgwick stuff that I've happened upon thanks to the wonders of the interwebs and Google Search because, as I said several pointless paragraphs ago, quite a few of the Sedgwicks have led rather public lives of one variety or another, and consequently, there has been much to find--so much, in fact, that I set up an account at Pinterest, which I hate, just so I could make a Sedgwick board to pin all my findings upon. Currently it has 290 pins, and I can assure you, there will be more. I don't know why there's no way to search a Pinterest board, though--that's just stupid! And I'm not crazy about the idea that total strangers can "follow" me. It just seems a lot like... uh... stalking. Public stalking. So I've made the Sedgwick board private... because that's how I do my stalking... in private!

But I have discovered one interesting thing about Pinterest. When I pin a newspaper article I've found at newspapers.com, the people with whom I've shared the Pinterest board (Sedgwick co-stalkers, you might call them) are able to see it even if they don't have a membership at newspapers.com. That's useful! I also like being able to pin a particular page from the historical books I find online at Google or Internet Archive.

And there have been many of those penned by various Sedgwicks through the centuries. For example, there have been a number of Sedgwick doctors, and I'm sure you'll be surprised to know that not just one but two medical advice books were written by Sedgwick doctors, one published in 1827 and one in 1869. They are now not only pinned to my Sedgwick board but also included (in full or in part) in my own book of collected Sedgwick stuff. And, reader, because I am concerned about the health and welfare of yourself and your children, I'll leave you with a steamy paragraph of advice from Chapter XV of Dr. Sherman Parker Sedgwick's 1869 book, The House We Live In:

HINTS TO PARENTS.
 Parents are responsible, in a large degree, for the future of their children. How important, then, that they should teach them the truth. Twenty years ago, you would not find one child out of twenty fifteen years old who knew any more about their existence, only that God made them, and that some of the neighboring ladies or the doctor brought their baby brother or sister. How many thousands of thousands of young persons have been ruined and brought to a premature and dishonored grave on account of the failure of their parents to give them proper instructions in reference to themselves and secret evil habits. They will take special care to keep them from the society of those they think will lead them into these habits, but never give them one word of warning. Far better would it be to point them to the Bible history and curse pronounced upon the sin of onanism, and inform them what it is, than to hope they may never learn these evil habits. You see your child becoming fretful, feverish, pale, avoiding society, becoming sallow, emaciated, loses memory, verging towards the grave, before you understand the cause, and too late you have learned that by your neglect to do a solemn duty you allowed your child to form habits that soon will end in death.
 Find some way of teaching your children the terrible consequences of secret, disgusting habits. Learn them that of all sins, licentiousness and lewdness are, at least, as necessary to be avoided as murder and suicide.
There, now. I think we're done here.

New users were permitted a free test-drive, so I gave it a try. I uploaded a small GEDCOM and generated a biography for my great-great-grandfather, Andrew Jackson Kerr. It was pretty nice, but I'm on a budget so I didn't become a HistoryLines subscriber, and I pretty much forgot about it.

In the meantime, the new iteration of Ancestry has been forced upon its members despite unbridled and voluminous dissatisfaction, and the new Ancestry includes a "Lifestory" view which also met with much disapproval.

This morning, I received an email from HistoryLines informing me that the biography I'd generated has been expanded with a new paragraph about the introduction of the telephone, so I went to have a look.

I have to admit, HistoryLines has quite an impressive product there, and what little I know about my ancestor has been well placed into a story about the history that went on around him. He's called into each paragraph of the story via a mention of how old he was when the various historic events happened. In addition to national events, the narrative includes several local events specific to the place he lived.

In a side-by-side comparison of the story generated by HistoryLines versus Ancestry's Lifestory view, well, really, there is no comparison. HistoryLines has got it all over Ancestry. Check out the biography of Andrew Jackson Kerr at HistoryLines and you'll see what I mean.TKhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212482312288155036.post-58557208528660146002015-12-22T08:45:00.000-05:002015-12-22T08:46:00.414-05:00A Concert for AmyAmy Cohen, who writes Brotmanblog: A Family Journey, recently wrote a post entitled My Grandfather's Notebook: More than Names, Dates, and Addresses. Having posted a few of my grandmother's notebooks here at Before My Time, I found her post particularly interesting. One page that caught my attention was a list of musical pieces which seemingly were particular favorites of her grandfather.

I staged a few YouTube concerts here awhile back based on some newspaper articles I'd researched. The concerts were great fun to do and added considerable interest to my research, so I've decided to surprise Amy with a concert of her grandfather's favorites.

First up is a piece called Dolly's Dream, by Berliner Theodore Oesten. It appears to be a teaching piece.

Second on the list is Brahms' Hungarian Dance. Amy's grandfather didn't indicate which one he meant. I think we'll go with No. 5 here, which is easily recognized even if you're not a classical music buff:

German composer Heinrich Lichner is best known for his teaching pieces. His Opus 169, Die vier Jahreszeiten (The Four Seasons) for violin and piano may have been such. Third on his list, Amy's grandfather listed Winter, which was Op. 169, No. 4. I couldn't find a recording of that, but we'll enjoy some other Lichner compositions shortly.

Fourth, we have Spanish Dance by F. Williams, but... we actually don't have it. There are many pieces called Spanish Dance, but I was unable to locate any by a composer named F. Williams. Since we have no conclusive results on this tune, we'll move along.

The next title appears to be La Ninita, by W. Jhonson. I'm guessing this one might have been a Spanish-influenced tune also, maybe actually entitled La Niñita. I couldn't find out anything about this one either, even if I spelled Jhonson the other way!

I promised you some Heinrich Lichner, and here it is. It's called Gypsy Dance. You won't be sleeping through this one:

Little Minuet in G by Beethoven is seventh on the list:

Edvard Grieg's Elfin Dance is next:

Our ninth piece is called At Home, another by Heinrich Lichner:

German composer Franz Behr wrote this one, called Gypsy Camp:

Belgian composer Henri Van Gael (1860-1918) is best known for Voice of the Heart, our eleventh selection:

The Lazy Man by Angela Diller, like others on this list, appears to be a student piece. I'm sorry I was unable to find a recording of this song. I'm wondering, at this point, whether Amy's grandfather might have been either a student or a teacher of music.

I couldn't find a recording of Happy Hours by Hans Engelmann, another German composer, but I did find his Frolic of the Fairies, and I suppose they were happy enough!

The French composer Georges Bizet gave us The Pearl Fishers, so we'll end our concert operatically!

It was announced in The Fallon County Times on January 10th:

But on January 31st, this unfortunate announcement was made:

Nevertheless, as Gustave stated, the show must go on. The program for an upcoming classical concert featuring Baker's own talent was published in The Fallon County Times on February 14, 1924:

Reader, have you met me? I'm not a big fan of classical music. In college, I met my Humanities requirement with a 3-credit class called History of Rock & Roll. In my 40s, I once dumped a well-educated, well-employed professional guy I was dating because he said anyone who liked rock & roll was immature. Yeah? So be it, then! I rock on! Never too old to rock & roll!

But, sadly for the folks who dwelt in the 1920s, I hear there was some roaring, but there was no rockin' and rollin' goin' on yet. And in any case, Gustave Foret would not have had R&R in his musical kit-bag, coming as he did from the Conservatory of Vienna. So, classical it is, I guess, if opera is considered classical. Is it? Well, whatever. We're droppin' some culture on you this evening!

After an unidentified selection by the Forde Orchestra, the Baker School Girls were first up with Street Boys Chorus from the opera Carmen. I hope they had as much fun with it as this group obviously did:

I suspect Gustave of being more staid, though. If he was, the Baker performance probably resembled this one, where there was really only one girl having fun with it. See if you can spot her:

Next we have the Duett of Micaela and Don Jose from Act I of Carmen. If you'd like to know the backstory, click through to this synopsis of Carmen, and if you're still not sure about that Don Jose guy, Dr. Opera will tell you a thing or two about his dubious charms. In any case, be reminded we're in Baker at a concert, not a fully-staged opera, and our dear Mel Schneider is merely singing the part.

Would there be any point in coming to a concert staged by a violin virtuoso if he wasn't going to fiddle us a tune? Mr. Foret selected a piece originally written especially for the violin, Charles de Beriot's Scene de Ballet. Reader, this is as close as we'll ever get to that Baker concert, because surely Gustave Foret's performance, accompanied by Lucille Wolters on the piano, was just like this one:

Are we having fun yet? Well, this party is just beginning. With apologies to Mrs. Leon LaCross--I'm pretty sure the Lake Theatre didn't have a fake ficus--I chose this from several possible versions of My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice in the interest of keeping in the small-theatre-on-the-frontier spirit. And because it was the most fun you can have with Mon Coeur S'ouvre a ta Voix.

Our choices for a live performance of Krakovienne Fantastique were considerably more limited, i.e., to this one, which is very nicely performed in any case.

I couldn't find a live performance of James Carroll Bartlett's A Dream, but I had two good recorded choices. The first, made in 1920 by heartthrob Enrico Caruso, sounds pretty good despite his supposedly having a head cold at the time, and if nothing else, is in keeping timewise with the era of our concert tonight.

As an alternative, this 1950 recording by Jan Peerce has much better sound, and besides, what a charming sheet music cover to gaze at:

Musetta's Waltz from La Boheme, it turns out, is much more fun with the lyrics translated! And don't be distracted by the gorgeous dress! After all, Mrs. Jesse Hayes was probably wearing something a little more frontiersy... or maybe not!

I don't know why we wouldn't end on that happy, humble note, but Mrs. LaCross is up again with Habanera from Carmen, and since Puccini has increased my previously low interest in opera with something I can sink my teeth into (Thank you, translator!), I'm going to give Bizet another chance... or two, as it happens, since I'm not sure how Mrs. LaCross would have envisioned playing this. Reader, have you ever had Habanero Pepper Jelly? So hot! So sweet! So hot! But I digress. On the one hand, concertwise, we have:

I must admit, I have a little case of the giggles going, although I am now given to understand that Carmen is apparently not a comedy. Misogynist meets sociopath, according to Dr. Opera, and it doesn't end well. But again I digress. We are considering how Mrs. Leon LaCross might have imagined herself in the role of the sociopath... um, I mean Carmen. Do you suppose we nailed it the first time or shall we consider our on-the-other-hand version? Let me just hasten to say that any possible nipple-sightings are not my fault! Cleavage lovers, this one's for you!

Well, either way, I'm sure Mrs. LaCross brought the house down, and whatever the Forde Orchestra played after that was, without a doubt, anticlimactic!

The book is a collection of news stories about family members from the old weeklies of three places where my dad's side of the family had a strong presence in the early decades of the 1900s. I've been proofreading, a laborious chore which requires me to stop getting sucked into the news stories and keep my eye on spelling and punctuation while still paying enough attention to the content to know whether words have been accidentally omitted or in some other way messed up enough to reduce a sentence to gibberish. Maintaining that kind of focus is particularly difficult in the third section of the book because stories from The Fallon County Times were elaborately detailed and thus very entertaining and/or informative. I keep pausing to pat myself on the back for how great this book has turned out, and to wish I could step back in time to thank Karl Pleissner, then owner of The Fallon County Times, and its editor, Frank J. Mains, for the richness of the micro-history they preserved.

I really enjoyed researching the music performed at some meetings and events of the Baker Woman's Club--hence my last few posts--and today I'm going to do my best to stage a whole concert, the program of which appeared in the newspaper and is reproduced on this page in the News book:

In some cases, YouTube has several versions of a song. My intention is to select a version that seems like it might be the best representation of a 1922 performance.

The first selection is actually Where (not When) My Caravan Has Rested. I chose Rosa Ponselle's recording because the Treble Clef choir consisted of female voices, and all other recordings on YouTube were male performances. According to Wikipedia, Rosa Ponselle was an American operatic soprano with a large, opulent voice. She sang mainly at the New York Metropolitan Opera and is generally considered by music critics to have been one of the greatest sopranos of the past 100 years.

Modern-day listeners might prefer this later 1940s version by the silky-voiced Bing Crosby and Jascha Heifetz. I admit the sound is better and the lyrics much clearer:

There was only one version of De Coppah Moon available, but it's quite nice. The crickets are from 2009, but the original recording of the song was from 1922, and thus very timely:

Tally Ho!, described as a hunting song, is listed in the program with the name Petrie, and I was unable to learn anything about anyone named Petrie. It appears the song was actually written by Italian opera composer Franco Leoni. It's possible there was a different song of the same name written by someone named Petrie, or perhaps this song was recorded or arranged by someone named Petrie. In any case, we're going to enjoy this version, and because you'll once again have a hard time understanding the words, the lyrics follow. Happily, our songster abets the fox!

And the lyrics:

I was unable to learn anything at all about I'd Like to Go Down South except that, at some point, it seems to have been recorded by the Vaughan Quartet, according to Country Music Records: A Discography, 1921-1942 by Tony Russell and Bob Pinson (Oxford University Press, 2004).

In the spirit of our concert, which was held in the Congregational Church, I like this performance of A Spirit Flower:

Wikipedia has these interesting remarks about Campbell-Tipton:

Louis Campbell-Tipton (1877–1921) was an American composer; a native of Chicago, Illinois, he was resident in Paris from 1901. He felt that the prospects for performance of large-scale American works in the United States were bleak, and claimed that he had never wished to sacrifice the energy needed to complete a large work. Even so, at his death a number of pieces for orchestra were found among his manuscripts, as were two operas. During his life he was known mainly for his chamber music; he also taught theory for a time in Chicago. One of his songs, "A Spirit Flower", was recorded by the Swedish tenor Jussi Bjorling.
I was unable to find either sheet music or a recording of Indian Mountain Song by Charles Wakefield Cadman. Wikipedia has this, in part, to say about him:

 In 1908 Cadman was appointed the music editor and critic of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. He was greatly influenced by American Indian music and went to Nebraska to make cylinder recordings of tribal melodies for the Smithsonian Institution. He lived with the Omaha and Winnebago tribes on their reservations, learning to play their instruments. He used elements of traditional music in the form of his compositions of 19th-century romantic music.
 Publishing several articles on American Indian music, Cadman was regarded as one of the foremost experts on the subject. He toured both the States and Europe giving his then-celebrated "Indian Talk". But his involvement with the so-called Indianist movement in American music contributed to some critics failing to judge his works on their own merits.
You'll find other music by Cadman on YouTube if you're interested. Meanwhile, let's move on.

Love's Benediction seems to be a closely guarded secret as far as the interwebs are concerned. I can tell you that it was an old Irish tune, the sheet music for which was published in 1916 by J. Fischer and Brother of New York. Transcription of the tune was by James P. Dunn, with lyrics by Philip Edwards. The arrangement was by Alfred J. Silver. If you simply must have it, you can snag the single used copy that's for sale at AbeBooks.com for $14 plus $4.50 shipping. There seems to be no performance of it on YouTube.

Next up in our concert are Messrs. Johnson and Forde, whose first selection, according to the program, is Duet from Norma. I was unable to find a performance by two gentlemen and, as I'm neither an expert on Bellini nor a fan of opera, I'm not going to make an idiot of myself by guessing whether any of the Norma duets on YouTube would be appropriate for our purposes.

Their second selection, Paul de Ville's Swiss Boy, doesn't seem to be on YouTube at all, although I did find a music book by Paul de Ville online. It's an instruction book about how to play the concertina, and it includes this Swiss Boy sheet music which I hereby present in its entirety:

Mrs. Leon LaCross sang at many functions in Baker. I'm sure her performance was every bit as charming as this one, even though she was playing to a much smaller house!

The lyrics for Il Bacio appear here in both Italian and English.

From Musical America, September 16, 1916, page 16:

 Four melodious songs, written with facility and naturalness, are Ralph Cox's Down in Derry, The End of Day, Peggy, and If You Knew. Mr. Cox is one of those composers who interest themselves in the song, built of a melody with a pure accompaniment for the piano. He does not delve into the intricacies of modern art-song.
 If You Knew, dedicated to Evan Williams, is a straightforward melody over an arpegiated accompaniment in sixteenth notes, 4/4 time; Down in Derry, a successful essay in the old English manner; Peggy, a rollicking song in the Irish style, dedicated to Reinald Werrenrath, and The End of Day, a sustained effort in the ballad style. These are songs that singers will find useful and effective and they will also prove worth while in teaching, as they are not difficult.
I'm sorry I couldn't find a version of Down in Derry for us to hear--I think I would have liked it.

Our concert ends with the Treble Clef choir singing Annie Laurie. I couldn't find a version sung by a women's choir. However, I found this incredibly lovely and irresistible performance by Jean Redpath from the April 26, 1986 broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion. It's a perfect finale.

 The Baker Woman's Club gave the annual entertainment of husbands last Tuesday evening at a combined card and dancing party at the Hubbard's Hall. About one hundred people were present and twenty tables of Bridge and Five Hundred were played. Mesdames Yokley and McArthur superintended the card playing. High score prizes for bridge were awarded to Mrs. Comstock and H. S. Proctor, low score prizes were awarded to Mrs. Al Hansen and Chas. LaCross. High score prizes for 500 were awarded to Mrs. L. Wilson and Ped Akers, low score prizes were awarded to Mrs. Lee Biffle and O. Christopher. After the prizes were awarded a lunch of appetizing chicken sandwiches, delicious rocks, pickles and coffee was served by the hostesses, Mesdames Kelling, Neveux, Hough, Ravey, Car Hanson and Ladwig. Mr. Hough held the seat of honor at a table with the three best looking young ladies. It must be said, however, he had to hold the place with the aid of two wicked looking knives. None but the brave deserve the fair.
 After lunch Mrs. Leon LaCross delighted every one with the solo "The Sunshine of Your Smile." She was repeatedly encored until she responded with the refrain.
 Dancing followed until 1:30, Ped Akers furnished the music. Everyone had a real good time and the husbands are satisfied to let the Woman's Club go on for another year.

-----

 The Sunshine of Your Smile was recorded by John McCormack in 1916, and it sounded just like this:

 As sung by Mrs. Leon LaCross at the Baker Woman's Club party, I imagine it sounded a lot more like this version by June Bronhill:

The program was reportedly "much enjoyed by all" and was well detailed in the weekly paper so, dear reader, step into my time machine and let us get in on some of that Woman's Club action.

Dateline: Baker, Montana — 3 April 1924
The Fallon County Times, p. 8:

I believe "Tarantelle Mignon" was actually this very lovely piece by French composer Paul Taffanel, Grande Fantaisie sur Mignon, and I do hope the ladies of Baker enjoyed a performance much like this one:

Maybe Emma McArthur's talk on Modern Kitchen Conveniences included a few words about the Hoosier:

Or the table stove which, sitting on that tablecloth, looks to me like an accident fixin' to happen:

Betty Lentz performed a piece by Beethoven. Rather than "Fuerelife" as stated in the news article, I'm sure it was Fur Elise. If I've found the correct Betty Lentz in the 1920 census of Baker, Montana, she was born about 1912, so she would have been three years older than this young pianist:

I was unable to find anything at all about The Pigmies Parade, not even the first name of composer Preston, but it was also performed at a student recital in Indianapolis in the fall of 1923.

Women's Dress, the subject of Mrs. Blakemore's talk, would probably have been a fun topic in 1924. The ad below was from The Ladies' Home Journal, September 1922 issue:

(But, reader, don't fall for that ad! That is NOT a "PHOTOGRAPH OF HAMILTON CLOTHES ON LIVING FIGURES" as it claims to be! Such blatant baloney casts doubt upon everything I've ever read in The Ladies' Home Journal! Cancel my subscription!)

Musician and composer Dorothy Gaynor Blake published music instruction books for young children. Mary Christopher would have been about nine years old at the time of her performance of In Venice at the Woman's Club meeting. I didn't find In Venice online, but I did find a performance of Blake's Forest Voices by nine-year-old Madeline H. You'll have to use your imagination, but Mary's performance may have gone something like this:

There was nothing at all to be found online about A Perfect Little Lady by Frances Wilson. The search was complicated by the fact that there is a present-day pianist-teacher-writer of the same name. Reader, if you are able to shed any light on A Perfect Little Lady, please do so in the Comments section.

The Fallon County Times, p. 1, col. 1, below the fold:

WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING TUESDAY
 The Baker Woman's Club met Tuesday at 3 P. M., March 8th, Mrs. Marks presiding.
 Plans were reported by committee for serving the dinner for the Farmers' Institute, Monday noon, March 14th, and also for the afternoon's entertainment by the Club.
 After attending to other matters of business the Club enjoyed a good program.
 Mrs. Zook gave interesting current events, especially mentioning the important problems to be met by the new administration at Washington.
 Judge C. J. Dousman then gave an excellent talk on Americanization. He dwelt on the broader aspects of real Americanization, not simply naturalization of aliens.
 One duty of true American citizens is not to shun international obligations such as the promotion of world peace. He predicts that within 50 years, there will be an effective world organization* with power to enforce peace and prevent the depredations of one nation upon another.
 He related some of his experiences in admitting aliens to citizenship which was interesting.
 The club members enjoyed Judge Dousman's talk regardless of politics.
 Miss Beatrice Daugherty then delighted the audience with two well-played piano solos. The first number was "I dreamt that I dwelt in Marble Halls" from Balfe's "Bohemian Girl" and gave opportunity for the hearers to appreciate the delicate touch of the pianist shown, especially in the variations effecting rippling waters. The encore was also pleasing, entitled "Valse Caprice" by Spindler.
 The last number on the program was a fine paper on "Dietics" by Mrs. Ed Carey. Much valuable information was given as to food combinations with an appeal for balanced rations—which would enable one to eat less, thus adding to the feeling of well-being and subtracting from the H. C. of L.
 Good coffee and chicken sandwiches served by Mesdames Ladwig, Neveux, Leo Burns and Miss Scott added to the afternoon's program.

Having transcribed the above for my current book project**, I had a sudden craving for Enya's Marble Halls, so off to YouTube I went. I found instead this very lovely piano version of Balfe's composition--a much better fit for our context.

I'm sorry about Spindler's Valse Caprice. There seems to be neither audio nor video version available online. You'll have to do it yourself. The sheet music is in the public domain and is downloadable at the very good price of $Free from several websites. BYO piano.

-----

*The League of Nations was founded in January 1920, a year before Judge Dousman's talk. WWII happened anyway, so it wasn't as effective as it could have been, after which the United Nations was established in 1945 for the same purpose. The UN doesn't seem to have reached that pinnacle of effectiveness either. Apparently there are always some who just don't want to play nice.

-----

**My current book project, News: A Krentz & Buss Family Album was, for all intents and purposes, done. Just a few clippings about my Montana-homesteading Great-Aunt Emma, I thought, a simple two-page spread ought to do it. One of those clippings, however, reminded me that she was not alone in Montana... there were cousins. And spouses of cousins, and cousins of spouses. Stuff like that. Well, I realize this is a project that could easily go on ad infinitum, but at the moment I'm hoping I can wrap it up in maybe another fifty pages... seventy-five, tops.

You may have noticed, Great-Aunt Emma isn't even mentioned in the clipping above. I know from other clippings, though, that she was a member of the Woman's Club. She would have been at the meeting. Besides, in just a couple of months, Miss Beatrice Daugherty is going to marry the brother of the soon-to-be second wife of Emma's widower cousin George. And George is my first cousin, twice removed. Really, how can I ignore that?

Old Names for Illnesses and Causes of Death

A little over a hundred years ago, it occurred to someone that it would be useful to have a good set of standardized terms for these things. Thus a book was produced containing all the various sorts of deadly maladies. The link below will take you to a Google e-book. In the sidebar to the left of the book, there's a "search in this book" box where you can enter the cause of death from a death certificate. You'll see where that particular cause of death fits within the classification system. Fun with nosology!

Manual of the International List of Causes of Death: Based on the Second Decennial Revision by the International Commission, Paris, July 1 to 3, 1909 (Google eBook)

Author: Cressy Livingston Wilbur; United States. Bureau of the Census.; International Commission for the Decennial Revision of Nosological Nomenclature.

Publisher: Washington, Govt. Print. Off., 1913.

Another old book I happened upon was interesting for its instructions to doctors on how to fill out birth and death certificates. It also has nosology, 1939 style.

Physicians' Handbook on Birth and Death Registration Containing International List of Causes of Death (Google eBook)

When I bought The Genesis of the Memorial Day Holiday by Daniel Bellware and Richard Gardiner, I expected nothing more than to learn where our Memorial Day holiday came from and maybe impress friends and family with my ability to slip some fresh historical facts into my line of party chatter. Okay, I'm kidding about the party chatter. I'm lousy at party chatter and I avoid parties like the plague.

I did, however, learn more than I would have thought possible about the origins of our Memorial Day holiday. It was only made an official U. S. holiday in 1971, for example, although its history goes back more than a hundred years from that point. In fact, as the 150th anniversary of our Memorial Day custom approaches, it's appropriate that the controversy about its origins be resolved. You didn't know there was a controversy? Neither did I! But I know quite a bit about it now!

To my surprise, though, that's not all I got from this book. For example, I was startled to discover that our elected representatives in Washington can be totally clueless about a subject but still pass legislation about it. Okay, maybe "startled" was too strong a word. Should I have said "reassured in my suspicions"? Either way, I'd barely begun reading the Introduction when I was inspired to take up cartooning:

No, dear reader, I'm sure that's not how our Independence Day holiday came to be... or was it? But as for Memorial Day... well, if I said any more, I'd have to issue a spoiler alert.

Also, in the reading of this book, it occurred to me that I'd never really thought about the emotional climate of this country following the end of the Civil War, and what individual people in the north and the south did with their feelings about the other side. With several Civil War era veterans in my family tree, I've looked at a few pension files and regimental histories, so I have a pretty good idea of where my people served and the cost they paid in physical suffering. But I'm surprised it hadn't occurred to me to wonder more about the social aftermath. I found some interesting insights in this text.

Written in scholarly tone, the detailed explication of extensive research in contemporaneous source materials builds an excellent case for the true story behind our Memorial Day holiday. My most important takeway, as an amateur family historian, is the way this study will inform and inspire my own research in the future.

Besides... some myths debunked, some fibbers called out, a little family rivalry, a nose or two out of joint... what's not to like?

But what if...

This book brought up one more line of thought for me, one which is not related to the subject itself but to the research. Much of the evidence used to prove the true origin of the Memorial Day holiday came from newspapers published all over the country at the time the events unfolded. And as I saw how this gathered evidence was used to show what really happened and when, I began to wonder... what if something happened now, in the present, and a hundred years from now someone needed to find contemporaneous news reports to prove the true course of events. Will a paper trail exist? Is there a future for print newspapers? Pew Research Center's State of the News Media 2013 raises some disturbing questions.

Many of my readers are genealogy bloggers themselves; others are obviously computer-savvy and used to getting information from online sources. It's easy for any of us to say that news via the computer is quicker to obtain, easy to find via search engines, and easily bookmarked or linked-to for future reference. But who among us has not clicked a link only to find it's broken? In my experience, news stories in particular are prone to disappearing in short order, as stories evolve and are replaced or updated, or as other news becomes more click-worthy. I've learned the hard way to copy and paste any online story I may want to return to in the future, rather than simply bookmarking it.

Even so, what about my digital copy? There is then the problem of how to store it so it's obtainable in the future. Like my 8-track tapes, the email I saved from my Mac Classic to some floppy disks is no longer accessible to me. I failed to archive the Mac along with the floppies. I use a PC now, and it doesn't even have a floppy drive. Changing technology will doubtless render other digital files useless to me in the future. "Historians will be facing a black hole when it comes to studying the 20th and 21st centuries because much of our digital history is stored on technology that no longer have devices to read them, experts claim," wrote Claire Connelly of News Corp Australia Network in 2012.

Last week the BBC ran an article entitled Google's Vint Cerf warns of 'digital Dark Age' about this same concern. Besides changes in hardware, there are changes in software as well which can also render data unreadable. The solution to this problem is complex, but at least there are people working on it. Still, as a family historian with a quarter-century of computer experience behind me, I assure you I will not make the mistake of discarding my paper files after scanning them!

Cartoon art from ClipArt ETCTKhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212482312288155036.post-24528175403649615262015-02-08T09:02:00.000-05:002015-02-16T15:47:16.341-05:00Beginning with a Bang! My 2015 Genealogy Reading ListI'm the kind of person who can spend whole days sitting at the computer doing research (more or less!) of a genealogical or family history nature. And although my interest began more than a quarter of a century ago, I've never run out of things to look up. I'm pretty sure I never will. But sometimes I just feel the need to step away from the computer and stretch out on the couch for awhile, so I'm always on the lookout for some good reading material with a genealogical theme. The recently-released Seeking John Campbell: Finding pioneers and patriots in the pampas by John Daffurn was a great choice in that vein.

John Daffurn began researching his family history many years ago and discovered, as many of us do, that the really interesting stuff is somewhere beyond the names and dates that fill the blanks on your ancestor chart. And when you get to that point, you may find the research process so enjoyable and so stimulating that it ceases to be all about you and your chart. You realize that you've learned some skills that are fun to use, and one day--reader, has this happened to you?--you begin to research someone who's not even related to you.

Daffurn did this when he found Britain's Bona Vacantia list, a list of deceased persons whose estates had gone unclaimed. Knowing he'd acquired some useful research skills, he decided to try his hand at heir-hunting. He rather randomly selected a name from the list--that of a woman who had died more than a decade before--and set out to discover her family connections and perhaps locate someone who was entitled to inherit her estate.

An illegitimate child, Maria Isabel Pemberton Greig was, Daffurn learned, the daughter of one John Campbell. One, if you think about it, among many! But eventually, Daffurn was able to narrow the field down to three John Campbells. From that point, he researched all three of them in great detail and, reader, from there springs Seeking John Campbell, a fascinating nonfiction page-turner.

I did not expect to learn so much about world history, I did not expect to bump into names I would recognize, and I did not expect to find a John Campbell injured in battle on the west coast of Italy in World War II, where he might have ended up in a hospital bed next to my dad. The world, I learned from this book, is much smaller than I had ever imagined.

I'm sure John Daffurn could not have foreseen the rich and colorful story that would come to him in this project. Maria Isabel Pemberton Greig was just a name on a list--a name with a date of death. There was so much more to be found! Seeking John Campbell is a spectacular example of what might lie beyond the names and dates, and Daffurn's story is an inspiration for researchers.

I really enjoyed this book! Can you tell?

I'm talking about George, Nicholas, and Wilhelm, skeletons that were rattling in The Guardian's closet awhile back. Apparently the speed of sound is a little slow, bouncing across the briny sea and all, but I heard the rattling yesterday.

Honestly, is there anything more intriguing than a multifaceted international family scandal? As a family historian, I was lured in, but what really hooked me was Miranda Carter's apparent enjoyment in telling tales on those royal badboys. For someone who hates to read as much as I do, you'd think The Guardian's eighteen paragraphs would have been more than enough, but as it happens, all that did was whet my appetite. Off I went to Amazon, where I nailed a used copy of George, Nicholas and Wilhelm: Three Royal Cousins and the Road to World War I by Miranda Carter for a penny plus postage. Looks like I'll be booking some couch time in a week or so.

Car stuff was newsworthy enough to make the local stringer's gossip column a century ago, and more than a dozen news bits in News: A Krentz & Buss Family Album are listed under the CARS topic. I got a little curious about this one from 1929:

"Hank Buss was at the county capital last Thursday having some garage work done on his Blitzen Benz."

What the heck is a Blitzen Benz?, I wondered, so of course I Googled it, thinking a picture might be a helpful addition to the book. After all, I'm from the Motor City, and if that was a car, it was news to me and maybe also to anyone else who might read the book.

I did find some pictures--kind of a funny-looking car it was, and probably not the most practical vehicle for a small farm town in North Dakota. I clicked on the Blitzen Benz Wikipedia article about it, which was unusually short. There were only six of them made, it said, and one of the references cited below the article called it "the fastest car in the world."

Really? And Hank Buss had one in rural North Dakota? Was this Hank guy rich and eccentric? He was my second cousin, twice removed... how come I'd never heard of him? More information, please!

Next I found a video on YouTube--eight minutes long, it was--in which it took two guys that entire length of time to get their Blitzen Benz started. It was a long process involving a lot of cranking and choking. For a minute there, I imagined Cousin Hank going out to crank up the Benz on some January North Dakota morning, Mrs. Cousin Hank coming with him in her chenille bathrobe and rubber boots because it takes two to get it going, and in my mind, she wasn't at all happy with the Blitzen Benz.

Well, dear reader, I am nothing if not a quick study, and I am so, so proud to say it only took me two or three more Google-clicks to get the joke! This interesting history of the Blitzen Benz brought me up to speed, so to speak, with the Sheldon Progress readers of 1929, and also jiggled Cousin Hank back into his more appropriate socio-economic niche. And it was good to imagine Mrs. Cousin Hank* staying in bed for another forty winks instead of cranking and choking in the sub-zero prairie windchill.

As for me, I was glad to find a shorter and more informative video to bring you up to speed in case anyone ever asks you about the Blitzen Benz.

*In fact, I don't think there was a Mrs. Cousin Hank until 1939, although that chenille bathrobe was pretty vivid in my mind.

Update: I've just reread the Blitzen Benz history with a little more attention to the fine points. It seems there actually were two of the six cars which, at some point, escaped the ongoing surveillance of the historians and disappeared into the public void (the part with money to burn) during the 1910s. That being the case, I must admit to the possibility that one of them, by 1929, could certainly have been lying low in a barn in Venlo, North Dakota, escaping the notice of the big boys, but not the watchful eye of the local Progress stringer. Still, at 10 gallons/mile, Cousin Hank would have had to humongify his tank to get around Ransom County. You suppose that's what he went to the garage for?

TKhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212482312288155036.post-15111702073993278502015-01-27T14:06:00.001-05:002015-02-08T09:13:13.892-05:00A Coffee What?No doubt you've heard of a coffee klatsch. It's a social gathering wherein the guests partake of coffee and gossip... um, I mean, you know, conversation. The term comes from the German Kaffeeklatsch: Kaffee--yes, you're right, that part means coffee--see? you know some German already--plus Klatsch, which means slap, smack, pop, crack of a whip, or gossip. (Oh, did you think gossip was harmless?) Klatsch can also be used to refer to the person who gossips: a fly-flap or babbler.

See, I did not make that up! It came directly from The Classic Series German-English Dictionary published in 1926 by Follett Publishing Company of Chicago. I don't remember how I came by this dictionary. The name written inside the front cover means nothing to me, so I suppose I bought it at a garage sale. It's in rather worn condition, but of the three or four German-English dictionaries I own, I've found it the most useful by far.

I've been working on a book project for several weeks, and in the course of creating an index, I happened again upon another interesting term which, I've always thought, meant essentially the same thing as coffee klatsch. The term Coffee Krentzgen was used in a couple of short news clips from The Sheldon Progress in 1908. I find the term particularly interesting because one of my family surnames is Krentz, and I've wondered if I might have some sort of ancestral connection to this odd term.

A Google search for Coffee Krentzgen turned up nothing but my previous blog post of the 1908 news clips, and neither Bing's nor Google's translation tools had any translation for Krentzgen. But as I started to look for it in my German-English dictionary, I stumbled rather accidentally upon the meaning of the word. It seems Krentzgen may have been a phonetic spelling by a news stringer who didn't know the German word Kränzchen , for which one of the definitions is small circle, society, or club. Essentially, then, the Coffee Kränzchen is about the same thing as the coffee klatsch... maybe with a little less gossip... or maybe not!

Either way, this dictionary is one of my favorite books. But now I can't help wondering whether somebody will give me some Krapf for this post.

Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
What can cause the taste of blood in my mouth? There is no sign of blood in my saliva. Its like I have a slight sore in my throat which the sore spot moves from the lower throat to the back of the throat.
Hello,Have you had any drainage from the nose?Do you notice it at any particular time of the day?Any heartburn?Dental problems?Medications?Cough?
I notice it more in the afternoon. I wear a mouth splint to bed to stop me from grinding my teeth. The discomfort comes and goes and changes positions in my throat.
Thank you for the additional information.The blood/metallic taste in the mouth could be from many things. Some of which I have listed above:Acid reflux:Irritation of the gums from your mouth guard--make sure you do a close inspection of your mouth for any signs of open sores/cuts/etcUlcers in the throat or oesophagus:Bleeding from the nose or sinuses (even a minute amount draining down the back of your throat can cause this taste)--if you have sores in the nose it can do it too.Medications:I would recommend if you continue to have this, especially since it is associated with a sore throat, that you see an ENT for an exam. The ENT will do a scope that evaluates the nasal passages as well as the oral cavity and area above the vocal cords for any growths/sores, etc.Feel free to ask any follow up questions you may have.Thank you!!
