Ella McKinnon to Annie Carlisle Feb 22, 1922

(1922)
Mapleton Minn Feb 27th

Dear Cousin Anna,
I know I have been very negligent but not meaning to be but I ought to have kept you informed of Elizabeth. She had her last bad stroke the 8th of Jan and lived only until the 20th and suffered a good deal her girl wrote to me. I thot I had written you some time ago that her gorl was married. she has been for about 6 years I think it is will be this spring and went to Moline Ill. to live and she has a little girl 3 years old now. Elizabeth was 74 the 17th of Jan & her granddaughter was 3 the 19 so their birthdays are pretty close.

Page 2

yes they always lived together would not be separated hardly over night.

Martha’s husband died several years ago they found him dead in his bed he lived alone I believe but some of his children were near him but he went to bed feeling pretty good but passed away some time in the night. her boy has been working for Effie’s husband I do not know whether he is there yet or not. they had not been in Nebr for a good while they were in Ill when Martha died & he has or rather both of them have been all around since they were in Florida with a daughter of his for a while & lived in Iowa a while he was there when he died.

Page 3

Aleena Porter Nelson lives in Libertyville now has for a couple of years they lived in Antioch for a good while she can get around some with crutches but not very well I guess.

We had a terrible ice storm Last Tuesday & Wednesday it just misted in the day but Tuesday in the evening we had a regular summer Thunder storm it thundered & lightened so bad as I ever heard in the summer wednesday it was so icy it was hardy safe to step out door then we had a have shower in the evening again then it snowed some so it was not

Page 4

quite so slippery yesterday it thawed quite a little but the ice is not all off the trees yet and it grew colder again tonight is like a winter night it is so cold.

I have three other boys all married and homes of their own but two of them are so far away that I do not see them very often they were both home last summer tho’

I keep so well this winter have not had much of a cold even nothing to mention the same as some have had

Well I guess I have told you all the news that will interest you & my paper is full so I say Good night & Pleasant dreams
Love to all Cousin Ella

Before this letter I had no death date for Elizabeth or birth date for her granddaughter. As her granddaughter may still be living I will refrain from publishing her name here.

Martha Hall Fairman died in 1893. Her husband was Gallio Hamilton Fairman and I have an unverified death date for him of 7 December 1917. Their only child together was Wirt Hall Fairman 1891-1962. At the time of the 1920 census he was living in Dixon, Lee, IL and in 1930 in Maine, Cook, IL. Wirt married Cathrena Maxwell 1896-1966 and they had at least one child, a son who I believe is still living and in his 90's.

I have not had much luck with Aleena Porter Nelson although I admit I have not tried very hard. I did not find her on either the 1850 or 1860 census for Avon, Lake, IL which is where Ella and Annie would have gone to school together.

Hermon Hall to Annie Carlisle Jan 15, 1912

Waukegan Ill Jan 15/12

Anna and All,
In looking over some old letters last eve I came across one from you dated July 13th no year but know it was about 2 years ago or more

I am ashamed that I did not answer it before but you must excuse and lay it on the Wisner that is in me none of us being noted for our letter writing. I hardly ever write. (to my sisters even) only as I have had to on some business other. I do not know how much of a letter I will make out of this

Page 2

time. were much pleased to get the picture of the 4 generations and think a good picture of all as I saw Joe a few years ago. (By the way he promised to write when he left here have not heard from him direct we Sarah & I came near or was out in Minn a short time after he left there 2 years ago)
and the one of Aunt is such as I remember her of course I never saw the others but think them good ones

It is long since your folks left this state and of course you do not remember many of the people here. so any thing I might write about them would not interest you very much yet I will say for Aunts remembrance about all of the old friends and neighbors are gone mostly all dead

Page 3

Mrs Culver still lives at Grays Lake now Dan & Ruth Avery both live in Chicago Sam & John are both dead Belle (Culver) White and husband are both dead in fact I can not sort out the ones there were here at that time from those that came soon after I could go on a long letter of the changes in the people here since you went away

I was out to Mapleton this fall while there Ella got a letter from you so I heard a little of how you are there but of course only what was told me
Ella’s son John is here now been

Page 4

here about 3 weeks I think he will go back soon there is not much to do here so he is not at work and the last two weeks have been the severest winter weather we have experienced in 20 years The thermometer registering 10 from 14 below up to zero the whole time about all anyone wants to do is to keep fires I did not use to think 10 below was very cold but now it pinches I can tell you
I suppose you know that Elizabeth is in Nebraska Emmits widow lives here in town Lulu with her May is at Wheaton Ill
Marthas boy Wirt is in the west you are in correspondence with some of Ellas folks so know as much about them as I can tell you

I guess this will do for this time and if you will answer this I will try to do better for a little while afterward
Your cousin, H.W. Hall


Top of page 1, upside down

We are all well as usual and hope you are the same through Ella I heard that Aunt was enjoying good health and I hope she will continue to do so until she rounds out a century

Top of page 3, upside down

My address is on the envelope
I forgot to say there is only 3 or 4 inches of snow here nor has there been yet at any one time this winter
Hermon


Hermon Hall 1846-1916 was the son of William Hamlin Hall and Maryetta Wisner Hall. In 1872 he married Sarah Ann Dayton 1850-1935. Anna and Joe were his cousins and Aunt their mother, Sarah Ann Wisner Camfield. Hermon had three children and six grandchildren at the time he wrote this letter. I wish he'd shared something about them!

I believe this is the picture that Hermon refers to. It is a four generation picture of Roland Earl Camfield born 1898, his father, Frederick Camfield born 1874, his father, Joseph Camfield born 1847 and his mother Sarah Ann Wisner Camfield born 1817.

Earl, Fred, Joe and Sarah Ann Camfield c. 1901

John McKinnon was visiting in Illinois in 1912 and must have arrived about Christmas time in 1911. Ella wrote on 16 September 1908 that he would be traveling in Colorodo and Iowa. I have not located him on the 1910 census. It appears that he may have traveled around for quite some time.

Hermon confirms that his sister, Elizabeth Hall Belden is still in Nebraska.

Their brother, Emmit Hall died in 1904. His widow was Eva Bangs Hall 1857-1925. They had two children, Eva May Hall born 1877 and Lulu Belle Hall born 1880. Lulu was still with her mother for the 1920 census and still single at the time of the 1930 census. Eva May is not listed with her mother in either 1910 or 1920 and I have yet to find her, although she may be listed in Chicago in 1910. I believe that both daughters remained spinsters.

Martha Hall Fairman's son, Wirt Hall Fairman, Sr is another member of the family that I have some work left to do for. In 1910 he was listed on the census in Jerome, Lincoln County, ID. On the 1920 census he was living in Dixon, Lee County, IL and his son Wirt' Jr's was listed as age 4 and born in Idaho so for now I assume that he remained in Idaho until sometime between 1916 and 1920.

The Culver family may not have been related but they seem to be important to the Wisner's and Hall's.

Mapleton Minn

June 5, 1904

My dear Couisn

I have promised myself that I would write to you for several weeks but when Sunday came I would be so tired I could not get interested enough in any thing to sit still long enough to get a letter written & if I did was to write to Ray my oldest Boy he is not at home and has not been since Christmas Myrtle was too but she came home at Easter time.

I suppose you have not heard of Emmit’s death it was

page 2

quite sudden the Dr told Hermon that he would only give him six months to live and said that he (Emmit) had “Locomotion Ataxia” or creeping paralysis but it was only about one month after when I goy word he was gone he died the 23^rd of April being in bed only about one week so he did not have long to suffer at the last he left $3,000 life insurance in the Woodsmans Lodge so he has left his family provided for there is his wife & 2 girls the oldest one is married and has a home of her own it will be a year in August since she was married

page 3

so that now there is only Hermon Elizabeth & I left of all of us & we cannot ____ which one will be called next nor ____ _____ and they were all young yet Emmit was 54 last fall Jen was 44 & I think Deette was 40 and Myrtle was only 30 and you know Father & Mother were not very old when they passed away a little over 70.

We have a very cold spring not very wet but every thing is backward my garden is doing well now though if it is cold we had lots of rain lately but today it is cold again we may have a frost again

page 4

crops look well now

This is the last of our school the children or a pert of them have gone this afternoon to the Baccalaureate sermon and tomorrow night the graduating class have their Program & receive their Diplomas there is 6 or 7 I forget which

Well I guess I have told you all I know for this time

Give my love to Aunt Sarah Ann if she is their and tell her I will try & write to her soon.

With love to all I remain your cousin

E. L. McKinnon

Ella's oldest child, Donald Ray was 23 years old at the time of this letter and staying with Ella's sister, Elizabeth, in Poynette, Columbia Co, WI. Elizabeth was a widow, however I do not know when her husband, Ephraim Belden, died; on the 1900 census she is listed as married but it is just here and her daughter, Effie, in the household. She may have moved to Wisconsin to be closer to her sister Deette or she may have moved there after Deette's death in 1898 to help with her children. Then again she may have had other reasons, I am just guessing. I don't know if Ray went to help Elizabeth out or to look for work. Ella doesn't say where Myrtle has been.

Emmit's death has obviously upset Ella, three of her siblings have died quite young. But who was Jen (Jan?). Was there another sibling? I believe she must be referring to Martha who died in 1893 at the age of 40.

I wish Ella had given more information on Emmit's daughters. Eva May Hall was born 10 March 1877 and Lulu Belle Hall 20 January 1880. Beyond this I have no information on either.

I wonder if Ella's son, John Albion McKinnon, was one of those graduating? He was born 14 April 1886 so he would have been 18 in June 1904.

Ella McKinnon to Annie Carlisle Nov 24, 1901

Top of first page, written upside down:

What an odd name you have for your girl where did you find it

Mapleton, Minn

Nov 24^th 1901

My dear Cousin

I have rather neglected answering your letter but the truth of it is I forgot it for a week or two we had not corresponded for so many years we will apt to forget some times I think but I don’t mean to. I have lost track of to many of my old friends & acquaintances to neglect you. I have lost all trace of Uncle Williams family.

page 2

Well Anna I think you must have changed a good deal too. I remember you were some fleshier than I was the last time I saw you but as you have grown fleshy I have grown thinner. I only weigh about 120 and I have been down to 110 in the last few years in the summer time not every summer but two or three times. the most I ever weighed was 141 that was just before I was married.

We do not have a very large amount of fruit out here on the prairie they are getting more now they know better how to protect it from the cold winters but our winters are not so cold that has some thing to do with it they keep bees here we had a swarm lodge on our apple tree one year when we took it up we had about ?0lbs Honey

page 3

You wanted to know when Martha died. it will be 4 years in January she was sick for nearly 2 years that she could not do any thing and most of the time not able to even wait on herself. she left only little boy he was 10 years old now in Sept. Mr Fairman was a widower when she married him with 7 children the oldest girl went to Florida and got an orange grove and wanted an overseer and after Martha was gone she wrote for her father to come there then he went taking little Wirt with him. I have never heard from them only through Elizabeth. I wrote to Mr Fairman once & he never answered any letter so I have not written since and do not know his address

page 4

I don’t know how to ??? anna. I think I should like to do it but I generally have enough to do to get the rest of my work done with out it. I have always done most of our knitting until this winter and I have not done much for we can buy our stockings cheaper than I can buy the yarn and knit them too. they are just beginning to raise sheep here & the wool is all shipped away they do not card the wool as they used to when Mother used to spin & I never learned that. But I do piece quits some. the girls do not like it nor knitting. I learned them but it took them so long to do a little bit they gave it up. Myrtle likes to sew but no fancy work.

page 5

I always like to crochet but I cannot learn them to nor take any liking to it & it seems strange to me that they none of them likes it

I am going to send your mother some calicos some day I will send them to you for her and I want you to tell her that I would like to hear from her if she can write yet and I will try and write to her some time I am not a good writer nor like to write very well but will write to her if she would like me too.

page 6

Well here it is almost Thanksgiving again and I have no one only ourselves to come & eat dinner with me. Deette oldest boy is out here has been since a year ago last March and we count him as one of us he was 20 years old in Sept

The children are around me talking and getting their ??? and I can hardly write tonight but if I put it off it will be just as bad some other time

I am a good deal grayer than Mother was when she died she was nearly 72 then and Jake is not so gray as I am only his whiskers are almost white his hair hardly shows any gray.

Well I will say good night. Write soon. Love to all

Ever your loving Coz,

Ella

Martha's long illness sounds very sad. I wonder who cared for her when she could not care for herself. I did find little Wirt and his father on the 1900 census in Dade Co, FL.

Deette's oldest boy was Earl R Bullen, born 23 September 1880.

Myrtle Hall was Ella's sister. She had not been mentioned much in the letters thus far and I know next to nothing about her. Hopefully Ella will talk about her more in future letters.

Annie named her daughter Tamerson C Carlisle. She was named for Ashley's sister Tamerson Carlisle Evans who in turn was named for her grandmother Tamesin Hall Glover. I wish I could trace Tamesin's line back farther to see if she was named for a grandmother or great-grandmother. I have a cousin that the name was passed on to. It was suggested as a name for me however I was named for my paternal great-grandmother.

Fleshy is so much nicer a term than fat! Below is a picture of Annie and her family that was probably taken around 1900 or so.

July 12^th 1901

Dear Cousin Ella

I seems quite like old times to be writing a letter to you. now if you are wondering who I am just guess. Mother sent me yesterday a letter she had received from Elizabeth. she writes that you would be glad to hear from Annie and sends me your address.

page 2

I have often thought of you and wondered how you were getting along but had lost your address and could not remember the name of the post ofice.

I do not know which of wrote last but I guess we were both busy and just neglected to write.

And so you have four boys and four girls, you are ahead of me as we only have two boys and one girl. Our oldest went to the late war, when they returned from Cuba, his company was discharged, he soon married and is now

page 3

living in Kentucky. his wife visited us this summer. our other two are school children yet. one 16 and one 14. Joseph has five children, two married and three at home. Mother makes me a long visit every summer and stays with Joseph in the winter. her health is good for one of her years 84. she reads and sews and seems to enjoy herself. Father died two years ago last February we miss him so much I was very sorry to hear of Deettes death. I did not know of Marthas until last

page 4

summer. Uncle Wirt wrote us, it is so sad so many of your family gone. I expect Mother here in a few days, she usually comes earlier but this spring she went back to her old home and for a visit and has just got back to Joseph.

My husbands Mother makes her home with us and just now his sister and her son are visiting us so we have quite a family. Now Ella I would like to hear about yourself and husband and children and any of the family. do you live on a farm we live just in the edge of town. I must close now hoping to hear from you soon.

Your Cousin,

Mrs A Carlisle

Box221 Buchanan, Mich

If this was mailed to Ella I have no idea how it ended up in Annie's papers. Ella will respond so either this letter was sent or perhaps it was misplaced and Annie wrote another.

Elizabeth Belden was Ella’s older sister and and there will be letters from her later.

Even though I have been referring to my genealogy file often as I transcribe these letters the news of the deaths of DeEtte and Martha were a sad surprise for me. Previously I had no information about Martha's date of death. A quick check of the rootsweb mailing list archives for Lake County, Illinois gave me dates of 1853-1893 and burial in Hillside Cemetery. I have no idea why she died but besides her husband she left behind a very young son, Wirt Hall Fairman, Sr who was born 23 September 1891. I need to do some more research on Martha's line. I did have a death date for DeEtte, 3 June 1898. She had given birth to twins, Agnes and Angus Bullen on 20 May 1898 so she most likely died of complications after the birth. Photos of Deette's headstone and that of her husband, William Kelsey Bullen were found on the WI GenWeb page for Columbia County. My thanks to the volunteers, Larry & Linda Kopet, who put them there for me to find.

Annie's father, Michael (Mikel) Camfield died 18 February 1899 in Batavia, MI. Annie was there at the time of his death. It was after he died that Sarah Ann moved in with her son Joseph in South Bend, IN. Annie and Ashley Carlisle lived in the Carlisle home at 803 Main St, Buchanan, MI. Ashley's step-mother, Hannah L. Glover Carlisle lived with them (or they with her, depending on perspective) when she was not traveling, which she did extensively.

Martha Hall Fairman to Annie Carlisle June 19, 1887

Hainesville June 19^th 1887

Cousin Mine,

You will doubtless wonder who is writing to you and will go to the end of the letter for the author. let us see if that will tell you anything. It has been so long since I heard from you I do not even know if this will find you but I am going to venture one letter then if you do not wish to write pretend you never got it. It seems so bad for mother to lose trace of her only sister. we have written twice at least since we have heard and then your mother was not well when we last heard but feel sure you would have written if she were

page 2

not living.

I will not write very much now but if you want to know anything of us I will tell you in my next. I will tell you of myself, Martha. I am at present living in Hainesville a grass widow. I was married last December to a widower with seven children, perfectly awful is it not yet I do not feel badly at all. I have no cause to regret this marriage. The oldest child is a girl 23 years old and the youngest a boy of 8 years. 3 girls and 4 boys one of the boys has is the station agent on the C. B. & L. R.R. Southwest of Chicago the remainer are at home although Mabel expects to teach this winter. My husband G. H. Fairman is a merchant but has now gone to Nebraska to go

page 3

into business out there if he is successful we will go there sometimes.

Father and Mother are away on a visit for the summer.

Myrtle is a dressmaking going from house to house.

Now I will close hoping this will reach you and you will send a speedy answer To your cousin.

Mrs. G. H. Fairman

Hainesville

Lake Co

Ill


Martha finally married. I do not have an exact birth date for her, I know only that she was born between 1854 & 1857, so she was close to 30. The Illinois State Wide Marriage index has the date of her marriage as 30 Novenber1886 so that must have been when the license was issued. She married Gallio Hamilton Fairman who was born 23 August 1840, the son of Hamilton Royal and Celestia (Warren) Fairman.


I had to look up the term "grass widow." It refers to a woman whose husband is away for a long period. There is a long gap in the letters after this one. I have no idea if Annie answered Martha's letter or not but I hope she wrote to offer her congratulations.

Missing Years

I have been skimming through the digital images of the letters trying to pull out the ones related to the Wisner - Hall line. As I find them I label them, resize them and place them in a folder to be transcribed. After I transcribe them I do a little research based on any new to me information and then add my comments. For the most part I am reading them for the first time as I transcribe them.

Between 1881 and 1887 I found no letters from Annie's cousins. I don't know when or why the correspondence stopped. I assume that there were some letters that were not saved and perhaps I missed one or two in trying to pull out these particular letters which are mixed in with other correspondence in the file. Certainly there should have been news of the deaths of William & Elizabeth Wisner in 1877. There is only one letter for 1887 and then another 13 year gap when Ella and Annie resume their correspondence. In the missing years there were many births and deaths. Did their lives just get too busy or was there some sort of falling out between the families?

To my surprise there is a letter written by Annie and others written by her cousins to her mother Sarah Ann Wisner Camfield. I believe the letters to Sarah Ann were saved after she moved in with Annie. I have been having a great deal of frustration with blogger the last several days. Several images have disappeared and sometimes line breaks are ignored. If you see anything that looks wrong or notice something that appears to be missing please let me know and be patient if I mess up my feed by republishing.

With summer vacation here I have been working to get a little bit ahead so I can get some fun stuff done around the house - like weeding and painting ;-)

Here is a map showing some of the locations mentioned in the letters. Clicking on any of the markers will give you the name of the town and who was living there.
