Ella Hall to Sarah Ann Camfield Feb 22, 1873





Fox Lake Ill Feb 22nd 1873

Dear Cousin Annie,

I now take my pen in hand to answer your very welcome letter. I was real glad to hear from you. You said more about your folk than I can about ours for I am almost sick today with a cold today and have been for two or three days. I was to Singing school Thursday night and after two or three pieces had to quit singing I was so hoarse I could hardly speak. Grandpa and Grandma are quite well now or was last night. Grandpa was laughing at me I said I was going to write to you Sunday and Grandpa wanted to know if I was going tell when I was going to stand up and I told him I guessed I would wait till I knew myself before I told anyone else.

page 2

Grandma would write to you only it is such hard work for her to write she has to feel of the paper and then half of the time she does not write on the line after she gets her pen on the paper after she write one word she can hardly see where to write the next word.

Well now Annie I suppose you are very anxious to hear about Wayne and I am going to let you into my secret to. there is only one besides myself that knows all about him and I and she does not know quite all. neither will I tell you all or as much as she knows. that is Deette that knows so much about it. Well to begin with about him I was reading my letter from you down to singing school Thursday night and I was sitting with Wayne and he saw his name on the paper and he wanted

page 3

to see what there was about him and he snatched the letter and came pretty near tearing it and so I let him read it and told me to [illegible] tell you all about him only the rest of his name he said I must not tell that so I dare not for he will be asking me if I told and if I have told he will give me a good scolding I am afraid. Here is his description as near as I can describe him. He is short about 5 ½ feet and pretty middling thick set – but he is not fleshy. he only weighs 141 ½ pounds and he has light brown curly hair a dark blue eye and a light complexion is a splendid dancer and real full of fun and in fact he is a real good fellow I think everything of him. I made him kind of jealous once though this winter. last Tuesday night it was real muddy and Deette and I were not going to singing school (we had twice this week) and about half past seven there was another fellow came along and stopped for us to go down to singing school. there were three girls and

page 4

four boys besides Deette and I and when we got down to the school house Wayne was there and when I went to the closet to take my shawl off I bowed and smiled and he only bowed and he never said a word to me. I spoke to him at recess and he did not answer me and he acted awful mad. when I looked at him he would turn his back to me and Deette said when I was not looking at him he would sit and watch me all of the time and when we went out to come home one of the girls called him out because the boys wanted him and he would not come when they spoke to him. he spoke to Deette but he would not to me that night. He stayed to Mr. Samuel Gilbert’s that night and came to school the next day and stayed till noon and till recess he hardly spoke to me but after that he appeared like himself some but not so much as he did.

Here is something you must not believe nor look for. Wayne said he would write to you and send his name himself he would let me Annie.

Ella


Grandpa and Grandma were William and Elizabeth (Badgley) Wisner. Deette was Ella's sister. I checked the 1870 census for Avon, Lake, IL. and believe that Wane Hawey b. abt 1853, son of Cyrus Hawey may be the Wayne referred to in the letter. Ella married Jacob McKinnon in 1880.

Carlisle - Wisner Letters

With spring finally arriving in my corner of the world I'm finding very little time to transcribe the family letters. (However my garden looks fantastic!) I had planned to wait until I had transcribed all of the ones relating to the Wisner branch of the family before posting any but at the rate I'm going I've decided to post them as I get them done. They may end up out of order but I will put the date of each in the post title. I have connected with three distant Wisner cousins so that is why I decided to start with these letters.

Several years ago I connected with a fourth Wisner cousin, Stanley H. Cumming. The first of the letters was written by his grandmother, Ella Letitia Hall McKinnon. Stan died in 2005 without knowing that these letters existed and I know how much he would have loved to have been able to read them himself.

Back in the beginning of January I posted a group sheet for the Family of William Wisner and earlier today I posted descendant reports for William's daughters, Sarah Ann and Maryetta. If you read them you will see that my source citations are sadly lacking but most entries do have a source and I do know how to relocate them. I could wait until I clean up my entire file but I figure that could take a decade or two.

Sarah Ann Wisner Camfield's daughter, Sarah Ann "Annie" Camfield Carlisle was the recipient of many of the letters in the collection. The letters she received from Wisner cousins were from daughters of Maryetta.

As I transcribe each letter I am adding copies of the digital images right to the MS Word file I am creating for each, along with the source citation I am using online and another for sharing with other researchers that includes my personal information. I am also resizing the digital files before uploading here. Some of the letters refer to people or places that I am spending a bit of time researching so although the typing of each letter goes fairly quickly it still takes me awhile to be ready to post them here. Hopefully as I do more I will get into a rhythm and my pace will pick up.
