Scholars Do Him Homage and All 14 Wear Black Gloves

After I posted my December 1st post, Doctor, Medicine, Undertaker and Marshall Field Dress Bill, 1894,  Carol A. Bowen Stevens of Reflections from the Fence blog, wrote and inquired about the 16 pr. of black gloves that was listed on the Undertaker's bill of services. She mentioned perhaps I could find out if wearing black gloves was the custom in 1894. I did a few easy searches, because I happened to have the time, and got seriously interested in the search for information.

Then remembered my subscription to Fold3 that I get with my Connecticut Society of Genealogists subscription, which I had never used before. See post about my Fold3 subscription. My search words were: William Frederick Poole + pallbearers. It was so easy and wow, what results. A nice long report about his funeral and the names of all 14 honorary pallbearers.

The deceased was my 2nd great-grandfather, and the person of whom I wrote about in the Longest Obituary I've Ever Seen.

SCHOLARS DO HIM HOMAGE.

They Pay the Last Meed of Affection to

Librarian W. F. Poole.

     Funeral services for Dr. William F. Poole, librarian of the Newberry Library, were held yesterday afternoon at Evanston, where he had lived for many years. A short service of prayer and song was held at the family residence preliminary to the more formal rites held at the First Congregational Church at 3 o’clock. At that hour the large edifice was crowded, distinguished men from all ranks in life, professors from both the Northwestern and Chicago Universities, officials of both the Newberry and Chicago public libraries, as well as members of the many literary and cultured organizations with whom Dr. Poole had been associated, uniting to show their respect for him by their presence.

     At 3 o’clock the funeral procession entered the church to the strains of Beethoven’s funeral march. The honorary pallbearers preceded the casket. They were President Henry Wade Rogers of Northwestern University, Dr. Daniel Bonbright, President William R. Harper of Chicago University; H. J. Willing, trustee of the Newberry Library; Daniel L. Shorey and James L. High of the Chicago Literary club; Edward G. Mason, President of the Chicago Historical Society; Norman Williams, trustee of the Crerar Library; Emil G. Hirsch, President of the Board of Trustees of the Chicago Library; Librarian Frederick H. Hild; and Edward S. Isham, Franklin MacVeagh, George E. Adams, and John P. Wilson, the present Board of Trustees of the Newberry Library. Representatives of the Public Library Board who were present were: John G. Shortall, Pliny B. Smith, Bernhard Moos, and Secretary W. B. Wickersham. The active pallbearers were Charles Evans, Dr. Carl Pietssch, and Dr. G. F. Wire, assistants of Dr. Poole in the Newberry Library, and J. R. Patterson, W. A. Purer, and Reidar Arentz, who had formerly been assistants in the Chicago Public Library.

     The services were opened by the church choir with the hymn, “Beyond the Sighing and the Weeping.” Dr. J. F. Loba read the scripture funeral service and offered prayer. When “The Homeland” had been sun by the choir Dr. Loba said in part:

     “Every man lives a twofold life; one is that inner life of the heart with the aims and hopes, the sorrows and joys, the godward life which no one can see. The other is the manward life, the fruit, the product which the man gives to the world and on which his reputation rests. These two do not always coincide—sometimes lack much of it. But the perfect harmony of the two gives to the whole life the force of truth, harmony in the soul, and power to the work of man. The life of our dear friend was peculiarly great in the

Harmony between the ideal and the real. He was a great worker on the highest plane of human activities. He enriched the world of thought, he ruled in the realm of books, and like some great spirit he presided over the very source of human learning. In the midst of our sorrows and through our cares we may thank God for such a man.”

Dr. Franklin Fisk’s Tribute.

     Following Dr. Loba an address was given by Dr. Franklin Fisk, President of the Chicago Theological Seminary and a former classmate of Dr. Poole at Yale. He said:

     “The sorrowful event that has brought together this large congregation of friends to do honor to one who has for years occupied so large a place in our thoughts and in our esteem is to me peculiarly sad. Dr. Poole was my classmate at Yale. Our acquaintance, which began when we entered that ancient university in 1845, ripened long since into affectionate reward, and through nearly half a century has borne delightful fruitage. When he joined our class a few months after we entered college I well remember the marked impression he made. Although somewhat reserved in manner he had a genial nature and soon made many warm friends. He was old enough when he entered college to appreciate the value of a liberal education, and addressed himself to his studies in a manly way. But while faithful and successful in the studies of the college curriculum, he did not limit himself to them, but pushed his reading and study in all directions, especially in the domain of periodical literature. He early evinced a great love of books and revealed in libraries, and his love and knowledge of books led to his selection by ‘Brothers in Unity,’ a literary society in the college, as librarian of its library of some 12,000 volumes. In this capacity he early discovered a great need  of an indeed to general periodical literature—for the supply of which he even then, while yet a college student, addressed himself, and persisted in the great work with marvelous industry and energy through nearly half a century to the very close of his life. The development of his index from its inception is a genuine instance of evolution.

His Work for the Public Library.

     “In 1873 he was called to take charge of and to form the Public Library that had just then been organized amidst the ashes of Chicago. He fulfilled expectation. Under his supervision the Public Library of Chicago rapidly increased in well-selected volumes and in adaptation to public use till it became an equal of the foremost public libraries of our land. The eminence of Dr. Poole as a librarian led to his selection by the trustees of the Newberry Library fund when they sought for a competent person into whose hands to commit the great task of organizing and selecting a reference library that should stand through the ages; at once a monument to the generosity and foresight of its founder and a perpetual blessing to the millions who shall live in the great central city of the continent.

     “Of Dr. Poole’s personal characteristics as a man and a Christian I need not speak at length, for he lived among you many years. In heart he was a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and in life he tried faithfully to follow him. He was most highly esteemed and most loved by those who knew him best. This is a sad day for Evanston when two such eminent, honored, and beloved citizens as the Rev. Dr. Patterson and Dr. Poole and Dr. Poole are borne away to their burial. But though they will not again walk these beautiful streets and go in and out among you, yet the thought of what they were will abide with you and be a constant inspiration to noble living. Had Dr. Poole lived till next summer it was his purpose and my own to meet with our classmates at New Haven to celebrate the forty-fifth anniversary of our graduation from Yale. More than on-half of our class of nearly 100 have passed from earth, and now this dear classmate and friend has joined those who had gone before him. With a sore heart the ‘Farewell’ must be spoken in the sure hope of a blessed greeting at no distant day.”

     The services closed with the hymn “My Jesus as Thou Wilt,” by the choir. The remains were taken last evening to Salem, Mass., for interment.

     At a meeting of the members of the Newberry Library staff resolutions were unanimously adopted expressive of the esteem in which they held Dr. Poole.

The Stories Maps Tell Exhibit

Several weeks ago, we went to Lexington, Massachusetts to the:

Supreme Council Headquarters Northern Jurisdiction

Scottish Rite

Masonic Museum and Library (also called National Heritage Museum)

I usually refer to it as the Masonic Museum, and am especially fond of it because it is located a mile from where I grew up. Over the years, they have had some excellent exhibits my husband and I have seen. There used to be large exhibit devoted to the Revolutionary War, but it was removed because more office space was needed.

We were the only visitors in the current exhibit, Journeys and Discoveries: The Stories Maps Tell, and we were amazed at the maps on display and their age. A description  of some of them may be seen in the link above. All were protected and I took many photos with plans to share, until we left the room and saw the sign with the "No Photographs to be taken." I debated what to do, because the majority were close-ups and of the place cards describing the map and date. The following week, we went back, and I talked to some of the staff and told them what I did (one laughed and said he didn't want to hear it). I said I'd like to use a few of the grouped maps to put on my blog, he waved me on. Since I can't show the place cards, you unfortunately are missing out on the stories of the maps.

If you love maps, and are in the area, I recommend this FREE exhibit to you. They weren't sure how long it would run, but I hope you find time to check it out. Note: there are many museum pieces which I will show in a future post.

Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge, Lowell, Massachusetts

PEARL HARBOR MEMORIAL BRIDGE

DEDICATED TO

ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL

WHO WERE ON THE ISLAND OF OAHU, HAWAII

ON 7 DECEMBER, 1941

A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

The sign is on East Merrimack Street, on the opposite side of the canal is the Lowell auditorium.

December 7, 2015---From the Lowell National Historical Park facebook page.

"Lowell National Historical Park added 4 new photos.

1 hr · 

At Lowell National Historical Park, and all across the country, flags fly at half staff in honor of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. On December 7, 1941, some fifty Lowell natives were stationed in the Pearl Harbor area. Sadly, three became the city’s first casualties of World War II.

Private Arthur Boyle, a 23 year-old aviation mechanic from the Highlands and son of famed Lowell boxer "Phinney" Boyle, was lost at Hickham Field while trying to get U.S. airplanes out of their hangars. Seaman First Class Clifton Edmonds, a 24 year-old motorcycle enthusiast from Centralville who worked at the gas station at Bridge and 4th Streets, was lost aboard the USS Curtiss as it fought off attacking planes just outside of ‪#‎PearlHarbor‬. Chief Water Tender John Targ was born and raised in Lowell and moved to California in the 1930s, though much of his family remained in Lowell. He was working on the boilers of the USS Arizona when it exploded, and Targ, along with 1,102 of his shipmates, is entombed in the wreck of the ship at the USS Arizona Memorial.

We honor their memory and sacrifice and the memory of all who perished that day."

I Have to Share...You Might Just Benefit

Those of us who do genealogy often just stick to the regular methods of doing research, whether it be same library, same database, and other methods that are familiar to us. However, the other day I moved away from my comfort zone and tried Fold3. I used to subscribe to Footnote.com (and didn't like it) that was before it was renamed Fold3. What I want to share with you is, I didn't have to pay for Fold3. Why? I knew it was part of my membership with the Connecticut Society of Genealogists (CSG). Okay, you might not have Connecticut ancestors, but you will benefit from their benefits, one being a subscription to using Fold3 through their website, plus receive two publications throughout the year.

You can save money by joining. How is that possible? The membership into the CSG has several levels, see HERE. Membership for Fold3 is $47.95 (on sale now). The first two membership classes for CSG are much lower than subscribing directly to Fold3!

You may not be interested in Fold3, I sure wasn't until the other day when I decided to see if there was any mention of my ancestor + pallbearers. I struck it rich when up came a newspaper article from March 1894 listing all 14 names of the honorary pallbearers for my ancestor! Now, I am hooked with Fold3.

There are probably other databases or great benefits with your membership in a genealogy society. Why not check out what they have. The Connecticut Society of Genealogists was the second society I joined, I would guess it was in 1993.

I contacted the CSG this morning to get their approval to post this. They had no problem with my posting this.

Doctor, Medicine, Undertaker and Marshall Field Dress Bill, 1894

The below bills were submitted to probate after the death of my 2nd great-grandfather. There were a few other submissions, but I thought these were the most interesting.

The first one (figure 1) shows his doctor's visit cost $20, this was five days before his death. The medications he was given, and probably for his widow are shown in figure 2. The third bill is from the undertaker and embalmer. It gives you an idea of what the costs were in March 1894. I am not sure why 16 pr. of black gloves were needed (figure 3). Mr. Poole's body was then moved from Chicago to Salem, MA for burial. Figure 4 is a bill from Marshall Field and Co., a clothing store in Chicago. It shows a few items and costs for January and February, 1894 purchases, including a five dollar dress.

The death of William Frederick Poole was written about in my post, The Longest Obituary I've Ever Seen.

Westover, A New Branch To Me -- Surname Saturday

During the past several months, I've been working with several individuals on their lines. One was for the Westover surname. The reason Jack Westover contacted me was because he saw my RootsWeb site had over 1,000 of that surname. I was delighted when he offered to share his Amasa's lineage, since I didn't have anything more than just the name. Jack is allowing me to share and hopefully, it will help somebody. Amasa's father, Moses was my 5th great-grandfather, and was both a Revolutionary War Patriot from Massachusetts who became a Loyalist and settled in Quebec, Canada. (Moses is listed below as the father to Amasa.)
