Bio and Links
I am a retired State of CT Social Worker/Case Manager for the mentally retarded. In retirement I have become very interested in genealogy and researching old cemeteries. Currently I am President of an old Rev War Cemetery in northern New Milford and am in the process, with a small group of associates, in repairing and resetting many of the old stones in the cemetery. In addition, we have 'adopted' three of the "orphaned" cemeteries in northern New Milford (CT).My wife and I belong to the CT Gravestone Network which is comprised of a wide group of individuals dedicated to the preservation of our landmark cemeteries throughout the state of Connecticut.
I do travel and take photos of graves in the northern New Haven, northern Fairfield and southern Litchfield counties in CT
I am interested in locating information regarding the Bradbury(Hartford Co., CT), Ryley(New London Co CT), Keigwin (New London County CT) and Wyatt(eastern Delaware, eastern Maryland) families who are my direct genealogical relatives) for whom we need more information to complete our genealogies.

I have a photograph of a H.H. O'Neill from Connecticut that I would like to get into the hands of one of his ancestors. It was in with my grandfather's things. The man was probably a traveling salesman for Goodyear or Michelin in the early 1900s.
I know this is a long shot, but I had to try.

Hi Michael, I stumbled on your profile while adding photos in Litchfield County cemeteries. For what its worth - I was at a family reunion in Hanover, PA (far southern PA) and we toured a very large cemetery, Mount Olivet, in that town. There were many Wyatts there. Hope this helps. Sorry I did this in the wrong order - I could have done some research for you!

My husband and I are thinking of driving from Austin, TX to the Gulf for Memorial Day weekend. We were thinking of either Galveston or Corpus Christi (we're new to the state and haven't visited either city.)
Does anyone have any suggestions of one city versus the other? If so, can you recommend any places to stay/eat?
Alternatively, if there's another place on the coast that you think is a better idea (especially over that busy weekend) I'd love the input. Thanks!

Galveston or Corpus Christi?
My husband and I are thinking of driving from Austin, TX to the Gulf for Memorial Day weekend. We were thinking of either Galveston or Corpus Christi (we're new to the state and haven't visited either city.)
Report Abuse
It all depends on what you want to do. There is probably a greater variety of options in Galveston because it has some interesting history. Corpus has somewhat clearer water.
I'd probably head to Rockport or Port Aransas. South Padre Island might be a reasonable choice.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your response, travellyn. I'd heard the water was clearer in Corpus; does that mean the beaches are also better? We tend to like vacations that are split between sight seeing and relaxation (e.g. lying on the beach.) Do you think Galveston would be a better option overall if we wanted to do both, but Corpus might be better for more relaxation?
I'll also check out Rockport and Port Aransas. Thanks for the advice.
Report Abuse
I have an admission to make; although I've been to Corpus numerous times to visit family, have taken evening walks along some narrow beaches, and have gone out in the bay in a boat, I've never been to a normal beach there just for swimming or sunning. I can't even tell you where the most popular Corpus beaches are.
As I recall from this past December in Corpus, there was white sand on the beach near where we took a boat trip. Galveston sand is brown, and the beach is a lot more crowded, because you get a lot of people from Houston. If I were planning to spend half the time lying on the beach, I would choose Corpus over Galveston.
Report Abuse
I felt guilty about not knowing Corpus Christi beach specifics, so I looked up a Corpus Christi website. It can do searches for hotels. It lists beaches as "amenities".
Report Abuse
Thanks for the website. You've been very helpful!
Report Abuse
From Austin the drive is probably shorter and easier to Corpus. Corpus beaches are nicer than Galveston, but still not exactly the Riviera. Galveston offers more in terms of off- the-beach attractions such as restaurants. To get to Galveston you'll have to contend with the absolutely horrid traffic around Houston. That right there is enough to make me choose Corpus - and you can always stop in San Antonio for a bit on the way!
Report Abuse
As a Galvestonian for the past two years (lived in Houston before that) and as someone who just very recently made two long-weekend trips to Corpus Christi, I thought I'd add my $0.02.
To me, the clear winner is Corpus Christi. Why? I love scenery and Corpus is just so much more beautiful than Galveston. White sand vs. brown sand. Clear-blue water vs. brown water. Get the picture? The city of Galveston does not demolish buildings when they've outlived any useful purpose, and as a result there are old dilapidated buildings all over the island. The place looks trashy. The traffic you'll encounter to get here should be taken into consideration as well. Also, they are building a new bridge over I-45 at NASA Road One, although hopefully that will be finished by Memorial Day Weekend. If you want a relaxing, leisurely weekend you should go to CC. Galveston has maybe a FEW more "touristy" sites to visit and some good restaurants, but I'd still go to CC. The battleship there is a blast to tour (I say that as someone who does NOT have children.) The aquarium in CC is ok, if a bit over-priced for what it offers. Take a drive out over the causeway onto Padre Island (the north part). It loops around so you don't have to come back to CC the same way. There's a Landry's that sits out over the waterfront in CC. I didn't eat there, but it looks to have a great view. Corpus is not Hawaii, but it is way more beautiful than Galveston. If your plans don't include sitiing on the beach and you like to always be "doing something" I guess then I'd at least CONSIDER Galveston. Lots of old homes to tour (I toured Ashton Villa which was rather intersting.) There's the Strand area (lots of little shops, etc), although I can't see spending more than a couple hours over there. Skip the horrid train museum, which used to be one of my "Top 3" places to visit in Galveston. The place ran short of funds (didn't help that someone bilked them out of a bunch of money) and the place is a dive now. Moody Gardens is ok, but over-priced; I must add though that I think it's a better "value" than the aquarium in CC. Moody Gardens is comprised of an IMAX, aquarium, rainforest pyramid, and a few other things. You can take your car on a free ferry from the island over to Bolivar Peninsula and back, although I'd be reluctant to do it on a weekend when the traffic there gets really backed up. If you insist on coming to Galveston, whatever you do don't stay at the Flagship Hotel. Yes, it sits out over the water, but the place is a dive. The city owns it and has been trying to unload it forever, but nobody wants it. That should tell you something. Whatver you do, have a great time. Since it's your first time to either place, you probably can't go wrong either way. At least you'll know if Galveston or Corpus Christi would be someplace you'd like to return to. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As I eat out all the time, I think I can provide some good restaurant recommendations if you end up making Galveston your destination.

Port Aransas is the nicest little town I've ever experienced in Texas (and Austin is the nicest big town) and the beaches are lovely.

Lucy and Mina
In Victorian England, when Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, the vampire was used as a symbol for, among other things, society's sexual taboos, including overt female sexuality. Nowhere is this idea better explored than in the characters of friends Lucy Westenra and Mina Murray. In Stoker's book, Lucy is symbol of the improper female, the one who is coquettish and flirtatious and sparks sexual interest in the male. Mina is her opposite. She is the ideal Victorian woman whose function is to be chaste and supportive of her future husband. Mina's attraction to men is always one of potential wife or mother. These ideas were somewhat diluted in the 1931 film version to make a horror story with less moral and more thrill, although the flirtatious girl still dies and her less sexual counterpart still survives. In the novel, the line between good and evil tends to be unclear. Even supposedly decent people can make choices which bring about destruction. In the film, these moments of moral ambiguity are removed to make it clear who are the heroes and who are the villains, explaining why Lucy who is potentially the most complex character in the novel is marginalized and why Mina's role in bringing about the demise of Dracuala is equally downsized.
Although they meet the same ends, the Lucy in Tod Browning's Dracula has little in common with the one in Stoker's novel. The film goes as far as to change her name from Lucy Westenra to the more Anglo Lucy Weston. Later that night, the Count enters her bedroom while she is asleep to feast on her blood. In the novel, Lucy leaves her bedroom in a hypnotic trance after the Count calls to her from afar. One of the rules of the vampire legend is that no vampire may enter a residence unless he is invited in. In Stoker's story, this scene is pivotal because, though in a hypnotic state, Lucy is still responsible for her actions. She chooses to leave her bedroom and go to the monster outside. In Browning's film, her culpability is removed because Dracula enters her bedroom through no fault of her own. She is clearly victim and Dracula is clearly monstrous other.
Similarly, the blood transfusions that Lucy must endure at the hands of the males to keep her alive are changed from a series of nights to a single day of procedures. In the novel, all these transfusions take place in Lucy's bedroom. She is extremely weak and laying near death upon her bed, disheveled and in her nightclothes, something no man but her husband should ever be able to witness. In a way, the transfusions are both lifesaving and symbolic of a violation. Weston, on the other hand, has all her procedures on the same day and it is doubtful that those who gave their blood were her suitors. This Lucy dies in an operating theater with several doctors and an audience in attendance. There is nothing intimate about these transfusions.
Once the creature is dead or undead as the case may be, Lucy becomes red-lipped and sensual; a once somewhat pure being now filled with lust both for blood and for sex. Vampire Lucy is first witnessed Dr. Seward and described as having a "languorous, voluptuous grace" (Stoker 188). A woman desirous of a man's touch is as unnatural as a dead woman returning from the grave. She calls out to her fiancee, "Come to me, Arthur. Leave these others and come to me. My arms are hungry for you" (188). It is only permissible to murder the vampire Lucy after we witness her making sexual advances towards Holmwood. When she is killed, her betrothed Arthur stakes her with a large piece of wood, piercing her and making her bleed profusely, such as would have occurred on their wedding night.
Lucy Weston does not have these moments in the film. Rather than see Lucy as vampire, the viewer is presented a newspaper article reporting that a "Woman in White" is attacking children. When questioned about this woman, Mina reveals that it is Lucy and that when the two women met Lucy took on the look of a hungry animal. The end of Lucy's story is told through the words…[continue]

Set in nineteenth-century Victorian England and other countries of the same time, this novel is told in an epistolary format through a collection of letters, diary entries etc. The main characters include Count Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Dr. Van Helsing.

nineteenth century, the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum. Appearing out of an era heavily influence by Victorian ideals and beliefs, it was now a question of whether or not women should be allowed to vote, work, eat, and appear as they wished. At this point in history, women were considered significantly inferior to their male counterparts and were not considered so much as citizens of the United States
Dracula, By Bram Stoker Bram Stoker is considered to be the world's most famous horror novelist. Though he has produced a number of short stories, essays and novels, his classic novel Dracula, published in 1897 remains to be his most praised and admired work. Dracula is a story, which focuses on a Transylvanian vampire that comes to London. One of the most pressing themes in the novel, Dracula focuses on the
Women counted for little, but not everyone agreed with these Victorian standards. For example, J.S. Mill and Harriet Taylor, a couple who flaunted convention of the time, advocated happiness above all and divorce when necessary (which was unheard of in Victorian times). They write, "If all persons were like these, [happy] or even would be guided by these, morality would be very different from what it must now be; or
Dracula There are numerous themes and motifs present in Bram Stoker's "Dracula," such as sexuality, femininity, Christianity, superstition, and ancestral bloodline, to name but a few. However, perhaps one of the most obvious themes surrounds sexuality and femininity. Stoker's "Dracula" can be seen as a sort of Victorian male "Harlequin" novel, filled with adventure, intrigue, and damsels in distress. And much like the Harlequin type novels for women today, Stoker's novel has
The girl is freed from her captor, but only at the cost of the life and soul of the young priest: the power of Christ merely served to anger the devil -- it did not subjugate him; such would have been too meaningful in the relativistic climate of the 70s. The 70's sexual and political revolutions were intertwined to such an extent that hardcore pornography and Feminist politics appeared on

Prams and trolleys improperly parked are a total menace! If you can't keep them out of peoples way, then expect someone to move them!!
I do so frequently, and as far as I'm concerned, if you can't keep your stuff together then tough tittie, someones going to do it for you.
I do imagine the Mum in the room was feeling crap for any number of reasons, but oh well, we all have crap days...
Nothing wrong whatsoever with what you did Tamtam.
I know!! But I dont get people and bugs lol. (Im on fb page) and if they saw how I treated mine they would cry lol.
Ive sent my dad into a baby change before and he came out saying no tbd lady said I had to come out :/ errrr no!!! You can imagine my reaction. I actually stormed in there. Sorry but dont be so judgmental
Sent from my GT-I9195T using The Bub Hub mobile app
Wow! I can't believe the woman acted the way she did. There's no way that was acceptable behaviour and she can't expect to just take up room like that and block a spare change station without someone asking her to move.
Bad day, sleep deprived..whatever her reason may have been for snapping...that's no excuse in my book. I've been sleep deprived and completely out of sorts since DS2 was born a year ago and even when I am having the crappiest of crap days, there is no way I would ever take it out on a stranger. Ever.
Little side story...,,My dad used to be terrible for having a (lighthearted) go at people who looked miserable or angry while driving. He's call out to them and say 'smile' with a cheesy grin on his face. Until one day a particularly miserable looking woman yelled back '**** off you a**hole my mother just died". Dad was mortified and the woman was understandably upset as we drove past her. He's never done it since.
Omg @monnie that's appalling. Change rooms are for everyone who is looking after a baby/kiddie.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using The Bub Hub mobile app
Yes I think it's inevitable that we all will come across people like this in our lives at some point and really the best thing to do it just hold your tongue, breathe and just tell yourself it's not you, but them, and wait it out until they bugger off. It's annoying and you may never be rude like that yourself but others do and it's just not worth taking personally. Just think of it as permission to treat yourself to (nice bottle of wine or chocolate) for being so gracious.
I also said that SOMETIMES we (everyone) can read a bit too much into a persons 'snappy tone' which is true.
I do think this whole thread is way OTT and I actually can't believe how everyone is judging this woman saying how rude she was/is when they WERE NOT THERE. There is ALWAYS two sides to a story, but in true BH form, everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
I also don't really believe that people have any right to be rude to strangers, I'm simply saying that she may have other things going on in her life to cause her to act like that.
Who knows, maybe she's dying of cancer!? Have you ever thought of that? You just NEVER know someone else's story.
I get that everyone judges people at some point, I do too, but this just seems a bit OTT to me. Yes she may have been rude, but there are a lot worse things that happen in life.
I never said or implied that you weren't a nice person, nice people ***** and moan too, I said there was nothing wrong with a 'vent' either. I'm a nice person too. Goodness me, she was changing her kids nappy and didn't want you to touch her pram and snapped at you in a rude tone. Big deal.
I also never said or implied you weren't a good judge of character, again I simply said SOMETIMES we can misinterpret someone's tone (not exactly those words, but that's what I meant)
What's wrong with a bugaboo by the way?
You also said you hope she reads this and realised mums should help each other out
Well if she read this thread I'm sure she would feel awful AND embarrassed and possibly quite upset at everyone saying what a ***** she is.
The same could go for you, you could also help her out you know. Maybe she needs help more than you do?
I'm just giving a different perspective here.

By JOHN F. BURNS
Published: March 29, 1987
TORONTO— IN recent weeks more than one senior executive of the Hudson's Bay Company has set aside a few moments to slip into the company's softly lit board room in midtown Toronto and stand reflectively before a roll of parchment in a glass case along the wall.
By any standard, the parchment, the Royal Charter of May 2, 1670, establishing the Company of Adventurers of England Tradeing into Hudson's Bay, is one of the most famous documents in the history of North America. King Charles 2d assigned to his cousin Prince Rupert of the Rhine and a group of aristocratic associates the right to be ''true and absolute Lordes and Proprietors'' of a vast territory amounting to nearly 40 percent of modern Canada.
Over three centuries, the document has been a source of pride to the investors, explorers and traders who ranged over the vast reaches of the north and west, building Hudson's Bay into what has become one of the world's oldest continuous commercial enterprises. But since a board meeting in January the parchment has served another purpose - that of a reminder of a part of the company's history that its executives have decided to cast aside.
Led by Kenneth Thomson, the 63-year-old magnate whose family holding company, the Woodbridge Company Ltd., is the 74 percent owner of Hudson's Bay, the board met beneath the parchment and voted to sell off the 178 ''northern stores'' that constitute the last direct link with the company's origins as the settler and governor of Canada's remotest regions.
The northern stores, which did approximately $400 million in business last year, represented only a modest part of the $5.7 billion in revenues that accrued to the Hudson's Bay empire. (Figures in this story are in Canadian dollars. A Canadian dollar is equal to 76 cents in American currency.) For $180 million, the stores went to a consortium headed by the Mutual Trust Company of Waterloo, Ontario, and the northern stores' management. The deal is expected to close on Tuesday.
From the viewpoint of Mr. Thomson and his partners on the five-man management committee of Hudson's Bay, selling the stores made sound business sense. The operations were only marginally profitable, and their sale would significantly reduce interest on the huge debt, now about $2.2 billion, that has been a major factor in the heavy losses incurred by Hudson's Bay in recent years.
Elsewhere, however, particularly among long-term employees of Hudson's Bay, the recent sales have been depicted as an abandonment of a historical trust. Although the northern stores will continue to operate under the new ownership, critics fear that Mutual Trust and its partners may lack the resources to keep some of the more remote ones open. And even if they do, there is unhappiness because the terms of sale require Mutual to stop using the Hudson's Bay name within two years.
To Indians, Eskimos and other Canadians living in communities served by the stores, from Labrador in Newfoundland to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, and in dozens of settlements in between, it will mean an end to trips to ''the Bay,'' as the company's stores are universally known. It has been enough to stir protests in some of the affected communities, where the stores have become a symbol of contact with a distant and more comfortable world.
Typical of the adverse reaction was that of Robert Cheshire, 85, who managed the northern stores from 1940 to 1957. ''A priceless heritage is gone forever,'' Mr. Cheshire told the magazine Alberta Report, one of several Canadian periodicals that have given widespread publicity to the Hudson's Bay move. ''I'm very saddened and rather angry,'' he added.
Mr. Cheshire's remarks have been echoed in private by some Hudson's Bay executives. ''A mistake?'' said one manager, musing over dinner in a Toronto restaurant. ''From a historical point of view of course it was, and we may pay for that in ways that we cannot currently foresee. But that wasn't the way our top people saw it. For them, the issue was simple: You can't sell history.''
For many critics, the villain of the piece is Mr. Thomson, the son of the late Roy Thomson, the Ontario high school dropout who turned investments in small-town newspapers and radio stations into a worldwide empire of media, travel and oil holdings. These critics say it was partly bad business judgment by Woodbridge, the family holding company, that pushed Hudson's Bay so deeply into debt, and that the northern stores, traditionally profitable, have been jettisoned as part of the bailout.
Interest on the company's debt, at $265 million in 1986, remains a heavy drag on company performance. But other changes that the Thomson management team has made, mainly in the company's troubled department store division, have convinced many analysts that the ailing giant is finally on the way back to health.
The implication that Mr. Thomson is letting Canada down has a special irony, because his stewardship of the family holdings since his father's death in 1976 has been marked by an effort to reinvest in Canada. In particular, he has sold off several key businesses in Britain, including two newspapers, The Times of London and The Sunday Times. He has also chosen not to use the British title inherited from his father, Lord Thomson of Fleet, in Canada, where he is known as plain ''Mr. Thomson.''

A year and a half ago we completed our first Augment Project (see it here). It was an old condemned house that we purchased very cheap and rebuilt for a lady in Childress who needed one. It was an awesome project that the whole community of Childress helped with.
In March of last year, we began our second house that we've called Augment Project #2. This house is MUCH bigger in size than the first because it will be given to a family of 6 that is currently living in a two bedroom rental. Here's a few pictures to get you caught up…
Here's the front of the house on day 1, March of 2011. The house had to be cleaned out and totally gutted.
After everything is gutted we're down to bare floors and bare walls. Mike Henderson and John Henderson are discussing, "Where do we start first?"
The house needed a new roof. A good turn out to help was essential. Matt, (third from the left) and his wife Leah, will be getting the home. Matt has done a great job putting in a LOT of sweat equity on this home.
Johnny Nail-Gun is hard at work.
Some very kind people volunteered to put up a privacy fence for their back yard.
Janet Word, principal at Childress Elementary School, helped paint. We've had people from all walks of life helping on this house … doctors, CEO's, business owners, young, old, big and small … we've worked them all.
This was taken within the last few weeks. The new kitchen going in.
A pretty recent picture of the new front porch.
I took this yesterday. You can see the new waterlines going in. The outside is almost done.
Our goal date on this house is to be totally finished and have an open house ceremony and walk through on March 18th … one year after the project began. The Augment Project has been a blessing to everyone involved.

Early Bird Registration at Cloud Expo
Cloud Computing in 2010 will be a paradigm-shifting technology trend and Cloud Expo is where the Cloud change will form as the single most significant industry event as we enter a brand new decade.
Since we announced Cloud Expo three years ago in 2007 and launched it in March of 2008 in New York City, I have been personally working with the companies that are in leadership positions as the Cloud technologies form.
We recently presented the 4th International Cloud Computing & Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.
November 2009 - Carmen Gonzalez at the registration desk of the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California.
Sponsorship and exhibitor packages in Santa Clara were priced at an estimated delegate count of 900 attendees. By the time Cloud Expo 2009 West opened Monday morning, there were over 2,200 delegates who showed up at the conference & expo last November.
The Expo Floor was packed for three days. Today, we have close to a 100% re-sign rate among our sponsors for the upcoming Cloud Expo, which will take place April 19-21, 2010, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
I would like to take this opportunity to share some tips with all our valued sponsors, exhibitors, our rock star faculty, as well as our delegates.
First, we will have re-sign contracts available on the Expo Floor for all our sponsors and exhibitors that are participating in Cloud Expo 2010 New York City. On the last day of the show you can sign and turn them in to the show office to guarantee your sponsorship level at the upcoming events.
Since December 2009, many of our sponsors opt in for a single contract that covers the next three events: Cloud Expo New York, Cloud Expo Europe, and Cloud Expo California.
Also, many sponsorship levels are limited to one, two, or three companies.
We had a difficult time in December announcing a number of sponsors on each level, simply because we had more requests than available packages.
As you read my blog entry here, if you are in charge of marketing decisions for your company, you will also receive an updated mailer from me on Monday, January 25, 2010.
Please revise the available sponsorship packages that are still available for our New York event and please contact me by Friday so that we can still accommodate your participation this April.
Even more important, in addition to New York, we will start announcing our Europe and Silicon Valley Cloud Expo sponsors soon.
Those packages for Prague (June 2010) and California (November 2010) are also selling out fast.
Please call me at 201 802-3021 with questions. I will be happy to assist you as you make your decision for the remainder of the calendar year 2010.
I look forward to speaking with you.

The SEC said Anthony J. Bruno, former chairman and chief executive officer of Big B, and his son, James A. Bruno, former executive vice president, have agreed not to violate the commission's antifraud provisions after being cited for disseminating misleading information to reporters and then failing to correct the misinformation in 1996, shortly before Big B was sold to Revco.

Examples of patrician in a sentence
<the Southern patricians who once resided in these stately plantation homes>
Did You Know?
A patrician was originally a descendant of one of the original citizen families of ancient Rome. Until about 350 B.C., only patricians could hold the office of senator, consul, or pontifex (priest). Later, the word was applied to members of the nobility created by the Roman emperor Constantine. As time went by, other nobles, such as those in medieval Italian republics and in German city-states, also came to be known as patricians. Today someone's appearance, manners, or tastes can be described as patrician, whether the person is actually of high birth or not. The actress Grace Kelly, an immigrant's daughter, was admired for her patrician beauty even before she became Princess Grace of Monaco, with classic features worthy of ancient Rome's finest sculptors.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. EDWARD
J. EGAN and the Hon. BENJAMIN NELSON, Judges, presiding.
Rehearing denied September 20, 1973.
An action to recover damages was brought by plaintiff-appellee (hereinafter "plaintiff") in the circuit court of Cook County against defendant-assured (hereinafter "O'Hara") of garnishee-defendant Prestige Casualty Company (hereinafter "Prestige"); the basis for the action below was O'Hara's alleged negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle, which resulted in injuries to plaintiff arising out of an automobile accident on November 2, 1963.
Service of summons was had upon the Illinois Secretary of State pursuant to the Illinois Non-Resident Motorist Act. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 95 1/2, par. 9-301, now, par. 10-301.) In May, 1969, plaintiff apprised Prestige of the pendency of the suit against O'Hara, and immediately thereafter Prestige learned that service of process had been accomplished via the section of the Illinois Non-Resident Motorist Act above-cited. A default judgment against O'Hara was entered by the court on February 24, 1970, and on April 15, 1970, an affidavit of garnishment, based upon said judgment, was filed by plaintiff as part of a garnishment action against Prestige.
Prestige answered "no funds" to the garnishment interrogatories filed on April 28, 1970, and, after a hearing, a garnishment judgment order in the amount of $10,000, plus interest and costs, was entered against Prestige on January 14, 1971.
Thereafter, Prestige and its attorneys presented to the court various petitions, in their own behalf and in behalf of O'Hara, which sought to vacate the underlying judgment, and said petitions were denied.
Subsequently, Prestige and its attorneys brought this appeal.
The principal issues presented for review are: first, whether the trial court had jurisdiction over the person of defendant O'Hara by virtue of service of process on the Illinois Secretary of State under the Illinois Non-Resident Motorist Act; and, second, whether the trial court's finding that Prestige did not prove O'Hara's non-cooperation, and its own diligence in eliciting O'Hara's cooperation, is against the manifest weight of the evidence.
With respect to the first issue, Prestige contends that the allowance of service of process on the Illinois Secretary of State in non-resident motorist cases is "a sham practiced upon the courts," because all the subject Act requires, in Prestige's view, are mere assertions in an affidavit that a defendant is a non-resident and that a defendant's last known address was an Illinois address; further, Prestige urges, the Act does not require proof that a defendant received notice of a pending suit, and thus a defendant is deprived of the proper service of process made a necessity by his right to know that a claim is being made against him.
Plaintiff, on the other hand, simply states, in essence, that all requirements set forth in the Act were met by plaintiff in the case at bar, and, consequently, jurisdiction over the person of defendant O'Hara was accomplished.
To place the proceedings below in perspective, at the time of entry of the judgment against O'Hara on February 24, 1970, the court had before it the affidavit of compliance, drawn by plaintiff's attorney and required by the Act, which stated: "3. On information and belief, defendant was a resident of this State but subsequently became a non-resident of this State. Defendant's last known address is 5712 N. Winthrop, Chicago, Illinois." The affidavit of compliance had been admitted into evidence without objection. The court, in rendering the judgment against O'Hara, recited that the defendant had been "* * * served with summons by service upon the Secretary of State as in the Statute made and provided * * *" and "* * * this Court having jurisdiction of the parties * * * and being fully advised in the premises * * *."
• 1 The constitutionality of "substituted service of process" was determined by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Hess v. Pawlowski (1927), 274 U.S. 352, 71 L.Ed. 1091, 47 S.Ct. 632, and, in Illinois, our Supreme Court had occasion to discuss substituted service and specifically the statute which is the subject of this case in Ogdon v. Gianakos (1953), 415 Ill. 591, 114 N.E.2d 686. Regarding the power to be exercised under the provisions of the Act, the Illinois Supreme Court, following the rationale set down in Hess, stated, at page 597:
"The appointment by the legislature of the Secretary of State as an agent of a defendant for service of process in suits arising from the defendant's operation of a motor vehicle upon the highways of the State has been held a valid exercise of the police power based upon the right of the State to regulate the use of its highways for their protection, and the protection of persons and property within the State. [Citation.]"
It is clear, then, that the sections of the Motor Vehicle Act which allow for substituted service upon the Secretary of State in non-resident motorist cases can be reconciled with the stringent rules regarding service of process upon individuals set forth in the Illinois Civil Practice Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 110, sec. 13.2), to which Prestige refers. See also Nelson v. Miller (1957), 11 Ill.2d 378, 386-87, 143 N.E.2d 673, 677-78.
• 2 There is no doubt that a garnishment defendant, such as Prestige, may move to question the jurisdiction of the court in the original proceeding. (Schnur v. Bernstein (1st Dist. 1941), 309 Ill. App. 90, 32 N.E.2d 675.) The attack upon the court's jurisdiction in rendering the underlying judgment undertaken by Prestige in the instant case was collateral in nature, as more than thirty days had elapsed since its entry. (Barnard v. Michael (1945), 392 Ill. 130, 135, 63 N.E.2d 858; Chiaro v. Lemberis (1st Dist. 1960), 28 Ill. App.2d 164, 169, 171 N.E.2d 81, 84.) Consequently, Prestige had the burden of showing by "clear and strong" evidence that the trial court lacked jurisdiction over the defendant. Espadron v. Davis (1942), 380 Ill. 199, 202, 43 N.E.2d 962, 963.
In attempting to sustain that burden, Prestige first called into question the sufficiency of plaintiff's affidavit of compliance, contesting same on the ground that because it was based on information and belief of defendant O'Hara's non-residency, it was objectionable. However, the strength of that argument is itself put in a questionable light when reference is made to Fitch v. Gray (1896), 162 Ill. 337, wherein the sufficiency of an affidavit for publication was challenged; the court in Fitch, at page 344, stated:
"That a defendant resides or has gone out of the State is a fact which cannot be expected, in most cases, to be known by one about to commence a suit except on the information of others, and where the fact is not to be supposed to rest in personal knowledge, but to depend upon the information of another, there would seem to be no essential difference in swearing to the fact in terms of absolute assertion or upon information and belief."
• 3 Following the rationale espoused in Fitch, we find that the sufficiency of plaintiff's affidavit is unobjectionable, though based on information and belief.
Prestige claims further that typically it need not be shown that a defendant in a non-resident motorist case ever received personal notice of the lawsuit filed against him, and thus, the Act, whose provisions are challenged here, leads to a sham, and also the deprivation of defendants' rights. We do not agree with this position, but agree with Barth v. Nitke (Minn. 1964), 126 N.W.2d 452, which interpreted the Illinois Non-Resident Motorist Act.
In Barth, Minnesota's Supreme Court, in response to a contention that the Illinois Act requires personal service on a defendant, said, at page 456:
"The statute does not require that notice be sent to defendant's actual residence but only to his `last known address.' [citation] All that is required is that plaintiff comply in good faith, based on the best information he has been able to secure." [Emphasis in original.]
• 4 For these reasons, therefore, we find that the trial court had jurisdiction over the person of defendant O'Hara by virtue of service of process on the Illinois Secretary of State under the provisions of the Illinois Non-Resident Motorist Act.
Regarding the second issue whether the trial court's finding that Prestige did not prove O'Hara's non-cooperation and its own diligence in eliciting that cooperation is against the manifest weight of the evidence Prestige asserted below, and calls to this court's attention here, the affirmative defenses of O'Hara's non-cooperation with Prestige, as well as its own diligence and good faith in its attempts to locate O'Hara and to elicit his cooperation.
• 5, 6 The interposition of those affirmative defenses before the garnishment court once again placed upon Prestige, as garnishee-defendant a burden of proof (Chertack v. Santangelo (1st Dist. 1972), 6 Ill. App.3d 201, 205, 285 N.E.2d 209, 211; Penn v. Progressive General Ins. Co. (1st Dist. 1966), 74 Ill. App.2d 32, 36, 219 N.E.2d 857, 859; Cuttone v. Peters (1st Dist. 1966), 67 Ill. App.2d 1, 4, 214 N.E.2d 499, 501; Gianinni v. Bluthart (1st Dist. 1971), 132 Ill. App.2d 454, 463, 270 N.E.2d 480, 486), and the burden to be sustained by Prestige in asserting the defenses was proof by a preponderance of the evidence. (Penn v. Progressive General Ins. Co., 74 Ill. App.2d 32, 36.) The court below found that Prestige failed to sustain its burden, resolving the issues in plaintiff's favor, and this court is not in a position to overturn the trial court's decision unless from a thorough perusal of the record presented here we find the decision to be manifestly against the weight of the evidence admitted in the trial court. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. v. First National Bank & Trust Co. of Pekin (3rd Dist. 1972), 2 Ill. App.3d 768, 772, 277 N.E.2d 536, 539; Duffy v. Ft. Dearborn Casualty Underwriters (1st Dist. 1933), 270 Ill. App. 143, 149.
• 7 The record in this case and the proffered evidence it reflects, both of which this court has reviewed carefully, supports the garnishment court's order, and we therefore accordingly find that the court's decision is wholly supported by the evidence, rather than being against its manifest weight.
Prestige appears to believe that its failure to prove due diligence was bottomed on its failure to appear and defend in the original proceeding against O'Hara. It complains that it did not have and could not obtain the authorization from O'Hara essential to enable it to act, through its attorneys, as O'Hara's "legal representative" in that proceeding. Hence, it had no choice but to do what it did (namely, nothing) in respect of that proceeding. To emphasize its position, it asks us to suggest what else it could have done.
Prestige misapprehends the basis for the finding that it failed to prove its due diligence. The basis is not its mere failure to appear and defend in the original proceeding against O'Hara, but rather its whole course of conduct both before *fn1 and after it received notice of that proceeding in May, 1969. In a sense, its failure to appear and defend is simply a consequence of that underlying course of conduct.
Of special interest in this regard is the lengthy discussion of alternatives available to public liability insurance carriers set down by this court in Apex Mutual Insurance Co. v. Christner (1st Dist. 1968), 99 Ill. App.2d 153, 240 N.E.2d 742.
We recognized in Apex the urgent strategical problem an insurance company faces when an injured party brings an action against an insured and an investigation reveals a breach of condition or essential fact which tends to place a claim outside the policy's coverage; that is, whether or not to defend the insured in court.
• 8 In the case before us, Prestige failed to avail itself of any of the alternatives set forth in the Apex case. This is not to say, though, that Prestige necessarily would have met with success had either course declaratory relief or defending under a reservation of rights been pursued; the question of probable success in those pursuits is not before this court for review. However, Prestige indeed chose a strategy: inaction, looking on while the original action proceeded to the entry of a judgment against O'Hara, which judgment later underpinned the decision of the garnishment court adverse to Prestige.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
