1362	Story told by Ellen Carol Cotter about her grandmother, Annie O'Neil Cotter, to Denise Cotter O'Neil. I would like you to know that I am using the anecdotal method and that much; of the material that I am using is hearsay from my father or uncle Eddie or other family sources. I would like to tell you about the time when my father was a very young and unmarried and working for Armour and Company in Lynn, Massachusetts. He came home with his manager who was also from out of town and had no place to go to spend the fourth of July at 126 East Manning Street with his mother, my grandmother, Annie O'Neill Cotter. Dad was quite thirsty and he said to his mother, "Ma I'd give $20 for a good stiff drink" and his mother said, "Yes? Let's see your money and dad pulled out a $20. She quickly tucked it in her bosom and went downstairs to the kitchen and then into the pantry. She soon came back upstairs with three drinks, one for dad, one for the manager and one for herself, which they proceeded to enjoy. Then dad said, "Ma, I'd give another $20 for another drink." "Let's see you money, she said." and she quickly pocketed the next $20 in her bosom. Then she went downstairs through the kitchen to the pantry. This time my father quietly followed. He wanted to see where was her supply source. Just as he came into the pantry, he saw a cloud of flour dust that even got on Gramma's hair as she dug down into the hundred pound bag of flour and came up with a bottle of Uncle Eddie's best scotch. Dad quickly went back upstairs and didn't get caught. Gramma produced the next drink and they had a wonderful afternoon. This is a story of Gramma Cotter when she was a young woman living in Perryville, RI, which is right next to Matunuck. She lived in the big house that the Perry's owned. This was a special privilege as the rest of the help lived in the servants' quarters on the side of the hill. But Mrs. Perry was teaching Gramma to be the family cook and so she lived with the family in the household. Gramma was a truly marvelous cook and she did everything in the best Protestant tradition of Mrs. Perry. Mr. Perry was a wealthy man - they named the town for him and he owned a factory in either Wakefield or Peacedale, I'm not sure which. Edward Cotter, my grandfather, Ned, lived in the servants' quarters on the side of the hill but he had a good eye and he had both eyes on Annie O'Neill. Eventually, Grampa Cotter was the head stable man for Mr. Perry and he used to drive him every morning in his horse and wagon to town to the factory to go to work. Grampa also took care of the horses. When it was time for Gramma and Grampa to get married, they married Gramma, or so the story goes, out of the big house and then they moved to a little place off South road. They entertained all of the Irish kitchen mechanics at their house on their night off. I think the night off was Saturday night and they would do Irish dancing all night and have a wonderful time. One of the Irish mechanics was Annie Stedman but Annie Stedman was Annie then, not Stedman and she came to Gramma and she was very troubled and she said, "Annie, what will I do? Charlie Stedman wants to marry me and he is Protestant . So Gramma said, "Will he raise the children in the faith?" and Annie Steadman said "yes". My grandmother said, "What is your problem? There aren't that many Catholic men around. Marry him and be happy." Annie Steadman married Charlie and they had a large farm on South Road and Dickie and I, your father, used to go and pick blueberries there and then Annie Stedman would cook up a storm and have a big meal because her Annie came to see her. They had a wonderful friendship all their lives. Gramma Cotter never forgot a friend and was loyal to them her whole life. This is a contrast of when two grandmothers, Ellen Mahoney Lennon and Annie O'Neill Cotter. After my mother died when I was four-and-a -half, and Dick was six and la half, my father made it a practice for us to visit Gramma and Grampa Lennon every Sunday after mass when we were still dressed up and looked pretty good. We would go to Pawtucket to Arlington Street which is lovely street right near St. Raphael's Academy. When we would pull up in the car, at the house of my grandparents, I was always impressed because it was a big beautiful gray stucco house with a lovely porch, a side porch, not a porch on the front entrance. When we would get into the house, my grandfather, who was a short, stocky man and very, very warm, would greet us with a great deal of affection. Then Dickie and I would head for the stairway, which was long, to the second floor. Halfway up on the landing, there was a statue of Venus de Milo and my brother just loved that statue and I would say to him, "Dickie Cotter! Don't you look at that dirty statue!" and he would laugh and laugh. Then I would proceed to my grandmother Lennon's bedroom and my brother would visit the rooms of our uncles and aunt Harriet. My grandmother was a tall, very erect woman who had a great deal of dignity. She would kiss me perfunctorily and then proceed to put her earrings on as she looked in the full-length mahogany mirror that I now have in my bedroom. She would say, "Ellen Carol, a lady always checks herself in the mirror before going down to greet other people". Then we would go back down the stairs with Dickie taking full measure of Venus de Milo's proportions and proceed to the first floor where Gramma would ask us if we would like to have soda and cookies. We always said yes and when we did we proceeded into the dining room and sat down in the formal dining room with the linen tablecloth on the table and my grandmother would ring for the maid whose name was Loretta. She would come in in full uniform and ask Gramma what she wanted. Then Loretta would come back with the Coca-Cola in tall glasses with ice cubes, a nappy dish underneath with two cookies each on either side of the soda and we would proceed to devour it. Nobody ever asked us if we wanted more soda or more cookies so that was it (laughs). When we would go to Gramma Cotter's she would always greet us with a great deal of love and she would be standing there covered with her flour bag apron, the hundred pound flour bag apron that she had put tabs on to tie and she would ask us if we wanted some "cookie-cola" and cookies. When we said yes, she would go into the pantry and get two cheese glasses and pour us a cheese glass of "cookie cola" each. She told us that there was dope in it so we could only have one glass but we could have all of the cookies that we wanted. So that gives you kids an idea of the differences between he lifestyle of Gramma cotter where we sat on the plastic covered tablecloth in the kitchen and had our soda in a cheese glass compared to the strained relationships and the formality of the Lennon household. When I was about ten, uncle Eddie bought a lovely house at Sunnybrook farm next door to Howard McGrath who was then governor of the state of Rhode island. But Eddie had one problem - he could not persuade his mother Annie to stay at the house at the beach. So he kept on trying. Finally Gramma said that she would come and stay at the Sunnybrook farm house if Dickie and Carol could come and stay also during the summer months while we were on school vacation. And thus it was arranged that Dick, Dickie and Carol got to stay in this lovely house on salt pond where we had wonderful good times as a family and where Joe Young and Edward Young would visit also. But come to the time of August 14th and there was a regular ritual that Gramma Cotter put uncle Eddie through. She was preparing for the feast of August 15th, the Assumption of Our Lady over the waters into heaven, body and soul on that date. Gramma insisted that uncle Eddie go and get two buckets of salt water from the ocean, not from the polluted waters of salt pond. Uncle Eddie would dutifully go to Scarborough state beach and get two buckets full of salt water for Gramma Cotter. On the eve of the feast, August 14th, Gramma would take off her high-button black shoes and stockings and bless herself and put one foot in each bucket of salt water. She would then say some prayers to herself, take her feet out of the water, dry them and put back on her stockings and high-button shoes. And then she would look up to the heavens and say there was a blessing over the waters when Mary passed into heaven. Dickie and I thought it was a most peculiar custom because we had never read about this in any of our Catholic teaching at Holy Name School but we went along with that as being part of Gramma's customs from Ireland. Gramma was very devout land you respected her ways. It is interesting to note that Gramma died on August 14th. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception was the morning when we found her. Correction: on August 14th, 1941, was the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven and it was on the eve of that feast that Gramma died during the night.	O'Neil, Anna (I104)

1382	The death of Alva Crane, 84, occurred at the H.O. Nelson home last evening, after a serious illness of many months. Part of this time, Mr. Crane was a patient in the Allen Memorial Hospital in El Dorado. Alva Crane will be greatly missed by his many friends in all circles of life. His life was a colorful one. As a young man he was a jockey and horse farmer, and a good one. His love for horses stayed with him his entire life. He was a wonderful man - a kind and indulgent father and grandfather. He was a custodian at the Prairie State Bank, until a few months ago when his health became too poor to allow him to work. Upon his birthday it was his custom to invite the bank officers and employees to an oyster supper. This event was always well attended and gave Mr. Crane a great deal of pleasure. Since the opening of the bank in 1918, Mr. Crane had never missed a day at his duties until illness prevented his remaining on the job any longer. Surviving is one son, James Raymond of Redlands, CA. A son, Herbert, died during the past year, a daughter, Jessie Counsil, died a number of years ago, and another son died in infancy. The Cranes reared their grandchildren, Margie Counsil of Washington DC, and Oran Counsil. Seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren also survive. His marriage to Elizabeth Gallagher occurred September 7, 1879. Before her death in 1930, the couple had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary together. Mr. Crane was a member of the Methodist Church. Funeral services will be held at the Dunsford Chapel Saturday at 4 p.m. with Rev. J.E. Robinson of the Methodist Church, in charge. Burial will be made in Kuster Cemetery.	Crane, Henry Alva (I9800)

1384	The following is an autobiograpy written by Helen Wilson as an assignment her senior year in hiigh school. Autobiography - Helen Wilson My parent's names were John Wilson, originally from Dakota, and Alma Swanson from Minneiska. They were married December twenty sixth, nineteen hundred. At the time of my birth, they lived in Dakota, Minnesota on a farm where I was born August twenty first, nineteen hundred and seven. I had a sister and brother older than myself who were named Stanley and Phyllis. So far as I know, I was baptized at a ladie's aid at my grandmother's house in Minneiska. When I was still a baby, we moved from Dakota to Whitman on another farm. Whitman is between Minneiska and Minnesota City. We lived there about one year; then we moved to Minneiska because Stanley was old enough to go to school. About this time, I must have been a little over a year old. Not very long ago I asked my parents how I looked, making the remark that I would hate to be as fat as my little cousin Harold. "Goodness" exclaimed my mother, "You were worse than Harold. You were so fat that you could hardly learn to walk and we couldn't hardly see your eyes at all." It makes me shiver to think what a sight I must have been. Anyway they say I was a very good baby and hardly ever cried. I cry quite a bit now when I get started. Before I started school, I was very good friends with two girls living up the street whose names were Myrtle and Bernice Hastings. A neighbor boy named Rodney was also a good friend of mine and he is yet. At our house we had a lawn which sloped at the edge toward the sidewalk. My younger sister Lila, Myrtle, Bernice, Rodney, Phyllis and myself used to sit in a dishpan and slide down this slope, jumping off onto the sidewalk when we reached the stone wall. We also had a swing in our one apple tree where we had lots of fun. I can remember one day when Myrtle came down to play with me and their wasn't any board in the swing. We didn't know what to do for the rope didn't feel any too good. Finally I ran into the house and soon appeared with a pie-tin which served very well as a seat. The only damage done was a little bending. We lived in a house right by the schoolhouse so when Stanley got hungry at recess he would run in the house for "bread, butter and sugar". My sister Lila and myself used to like to run away. When we did run away, I always got the blame because I was the "oldest" of the two. It was while we lived in this house, before I started school, that my grandparents in Minneiska died, fourteen months apart. When they died, there were no renters to live in the house so we moved there renting the place from my mother's brothers and sister. Our new neighbors were an old couple named Mr. and Mrs. "Put" Gray. We called Mr. Gray "Put" for short. His full name was Jeremiah Putnam. They made quite an impression on the children of the town for they went there to hear the man tell stories and to hear Mrs. Gray sing. Mrs. Gray hardly ever wore shoes and many people can remember seeing her go to shows in her old rose bedroom slippers. She was so fat and old that she could hardly move and if she fell down, we would have to call a couple of men to lift her up. These people had pet cats. Mr. Gray's cat was "Clover" and Mrs. Gray's cat was Trixie. If their cats would die, they called the new ones by the same names. They lived upstairs in their house and Hastings lived down stairs so now we lived right next-door to Myrtle and Bernice. They moved to Buffalo City, Wisconsin, right across the Mississippi and often I was so lonesome for the girls that I cried. Then I started school. I can't remember the first day nor hardly the first year at all. I think it was in 1913 that I started, and I was six years old. My first teacher's name was Grace Dady and she made me like her very much. One day she sent all to the board; that is, the first grade. Chalk was scarce at the black boards, there being two varities. There was the hard and the soft chalk. Of course we all went after the soft chalk and kept it. One day I noticed a great, big, long piece of soft chalk and I could see Rosella's eyes glisten as she looked at it. The first thing I thought of was to keep that piece in my desk, using it when necessary so that is what I did. Rosella became jealous and told Miss Dady who made me put the chalk back. She (Rosella) looked as if she wanted it but now she couldn't have it at all. When I was in the first two grades, I was a pet of the older pupils who were upstairs. They thought I was very cute because I was so little and plump. I wasn't nearly so fat as when I was a baby. I was six years old and had brown bobbed hair which my mother always decorated with ribbons. I was about six years old when my father took me to the Winona General Hospital where my tonsils were taken out. I had a very nice nurse who made me like her because she gave me some lovely flowers and because she was good to me. I didn't want her to take my patent leather slippers and blue stockings off. The result was that my father kept my slippers, and I wore my stockings. The only unpleasant thing about the operation was having the yellow hood over my face. It smelled so strongly that it seemed as if I would suffocate; so I kicked and cried enough for two girls. When I recovered from the ether they seemed anxious to know how I felt and I told them I felt all right. I don't know if Dr. Nouth or my uncle from Dakota performed the operation. I was sick on the train that night and when I got home that night a whole group of girls and boys were sitting on the steps waiting for me. They regarded me as something wonderful for about a week and then it was all over. My tonsils were taken out during the summer vacation. At school I made pretty good progress. When I was in the second grade Miss Fitzgerald put me in the third grade for reading and spelling. Miss Fitzgerald taught again the next year. When I was in the fourth grade my teacher's name was Margaruite Havorson. I can describe her as being pretty, soft, plump, charming and kind. All the pupils liked her very much. When I was thru the fourth grade downstairs I went upstairs to the fifth grade, and felt very exalted indeed. My fifth grade teacher was Harry White, a young man. This was his second term and also Miss Havorson's. They both acted as if they were in love with each other and many of us still believe it, although she is married to another man. They couldn't be separated with a pin, but I don't know if it was tried or not. My sixth grade teacher was Bridget Lee from Kellogg. She taught in Minneiska two or three years although I only had her for two weeks. I had gone to school only two weeks. One noon I was coming home to dinner and had just reached our barn when suddenly a fierce pain shot thru my left leg. It came so quickly and hurt so much that instinctively I reached out to grab some support. There was nothing to hang on to and the next thing I knew was that I was laying in our garden right by the berry bushes. I picked myself up and found that I had rolled from the barn, over a stone wall and in the berry bushes. I no sooner got up than I fell again for my leg still hurt. Lila came up to me and helped me down to the house and my mother became greatly alarmed. She kind of guessed that it was a mild form of paralysis or something like it. That evening when my father came home they decided that I should go to my uncle who is a docter and who lives in Dakota. So on Saturday morning Stanley and I set out for the depot, I hanging desperately on his arm. Stanley was glad to go for he was fifteen years old and six feet tall, and loved to show off to little sister Helen that he knew all about trains. As we went thru the street I noticed everyone watching me and how I walked. This made me nervous. When we got to the depot we learned that the train was late. I kept asking Stanley all about trains, how to get on, how many seats were there, what would I do if there weren't any empty seats, and how late was the train. This last question I kept repeating for I was sick, nervous and scared. "Stanley, where is the train now?" "Oh 'bout up to Kellogg." Silence. "Stanley, do you know where the train is?" "It's halfway between Kellogg and Weaver." More silence. "Stanley, is the train to Weaver yet? How far away is Weaver?" "Yes, the train just got to Weaver. That's three miles away." There was a long silence (only five minutes). Finally I exclaimed "Ain't the train ever coming here?" Then Stanley was beginning to get nervous, (catching it from me) when the train pulled in and we eagerly climbed aboard. I believe that was the longest morning I ever spent for it seemed as if we never would get to Uncle Clarence's. When we did get there, it was nearly dinner time. Uncle Clarence came in from his office and Stanley told him all about me. Nothing was done, only I had to eat pills and drink medicine for a few days then Uncle Clarence wanted to see me in his office. It was just before dinner and I wasn't expecting to be examined then. I was a little scared, too, for Stanley had gone home Saturday night. Uncle Clarence felt and pressed my leg all over and nothing happened; he was just about to give up when he suddenly pressed my leg accidentally and I jumped as if I were shot. Sunday my father and mother, and Woodrow, came down to Dakota to bring me home again but I told them quite gaily that I had a sore throat, and besides Uncle Clarence wanted me one week more. My folks went home that night, which was one that I never slept thru. I vomited about four times, was sick, and stayed awake all nite. Next morning Uncle Clarence came in and found out I had the "flu". I was the first one in Dakota to get it and also the first Minneiska person to have it and I considered it quite an honor. In about a week and a half I was well enough to be up and Stanley came down again. He asked me if I wanted to come home but I had to go anyway for they were all packed up and ready to move to Kellogg. On the way home that evening it was Stanley's turn to ask me questions - which I gladly answered for now I wanted to show off to him. We got off the train that evening and quite a few were down to meet me. When we got up town I saw old friends who acted very glad to see me again. Most of them were surprised I cried that night, I was so glad to be home once more but I couldn't play at all. I had to sit quiet all the time to keep my leg rested. We moved to Kellogg Oct. 2, 1917 or 1918. School was closed there for five weeks on account of "flu". I had already missed two weeks of school. All of us were sick in Kellogg except Pa who had to take care of us six. We got well and then Pa got sick. This was the second time I had the "flu". I missed two months and a half of school that fall while Stanley and Phyllis entered high school. I started a week later than the others, again on account of my leg. When I was in the eighth grade, we moved back to Minneiska for most of us were lonesome for our old friends. That was in April 1920. Phyllis was a Junior so her and I went to school every day in the morning on the 6:30 train and came back at night on the 6:30 p.m. train. We had hasty breakfasts every day, cold dinners, and seven o'clock suppers. I studied after school in Kellogg and went to bed when I got home for I was always very tired. That fall Phyllis and I went to school the same way. Phyllis graduated that year and I was just a freshman. I certainly was proud when Phyllis was made salutatorian. It was while I was a Freshman that my father wanted me to quit school, for the means of getting there was causing me bad health. I hated the idea of being put a year behind so I kept right on. When I was a sophomore I had to go to school alone every day and I certainly was lonesome. Still, it was fun to travel alone all the time and I was a young girl yet (only 15 years old). After Christmas I started to board with Ledman's and life became much easier for me. It was the summer before I became a Sophomore that I made my trip to Milwaukee. We had built a new house in Minneiska in 1920 when we moved back from Kellogg. In 1921 my uncle Art and his wife and child came up for a visit, in their car. When the returned, they took me along to spend two weeks. Instead of two weeks, it proved to be two months, and it is the best summer I ever spent in my life. I spent my fifteenth birthday in Milwaukee; just a week before school started I came back all alone on the train. In the one little week before I went back to Kellogg, I entertained the Minneiska kids with my stories about Milwaukee and one young girl whose name was Vera Johnson, told me I looked just like a city girl, but I never fully accepted her statement, seeing she didn't know anything about city girls at the time. The following term was my sophomore year. I went back to school as a Junior in 1923-24 and spent the year fairly well. I stayed with Mrs. C. Young. Now I am a Senior. One of my happiest moments this fall was getting my class ring. It certainly made me feel proud of myself, even if I am not a genius nor an extraordinary girl. I think I will graduate in June. Then I will go to Normal school and, if nothing happens, be a school teacher. Probably some day I shall go to college for I am beginning to have a yearning for a broader education. Maybe I'll never get there at all. Who can tell? Finis	Wilson, Helen Lucille (I505)
1385	The following obituary indicates that Larry Grych was born in Vienna, Austira. His second wife's naturalization papers, however, indicate that Larry was born in Hrabin, Poland. This may be a variation of Polish spelling for Grabin, or Grabinny so we are sticking with Grabinny as his birthplace so far. These same naturalization papers also indicate that Larry entered the country in New York on May 5, 1881, but we have not yet been able to find a passenger manifest in 1881 showing him as a passenger. After migrating to Bremond, Robertson County, Texas, where there was a considerable settlement of Polish immigrants and specifically some from the Grych family, Larry did move to Ennis, Texas, and he initially took a job with the railroad there. He apparently lost his leg in a railroad accident and then started his cafe in Ennis. Obituary from Ennis Daily News, 8-21-1959: Headline: Larry Grych, 92, Dies Today In Dallas Text: Larry Grych, 92, who had been residing in Dallas for the past seven years with a daughter, Mrs. Flora Brown, died at 1 a.m. today in a Dallas hospital after a long illness. Grych was born June 22, 1867 in Vienna Austria and came to the U.S.A. at the age of 14 settling in New York. He moved to Bremond when he was 16 years old and started working for the Southern Pacific Railroad. At the age of 18 he moved to Ennis and lived here until seven years ago when he moved to Dallas. He was a charter member of the BofRT. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Joe Vitovsky, Mrs. Brown and Miss Leona Grych, all of Dallas; one stepdaughter, Miss Agnes Grych currently of Paris, France: one stepson, Frank Grych of Chicago; six grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren, one half-brother, Henry Borek of Midland; one half-sister, Mrs. Kate Borkouek of Bremond; a number of nieces and nephews and other relatives.

1387	The marriage records indicate that both Brayton and Margaret were 21 when they got married. This conflicts with Brayton's birth record which would indicate he was only about 19 and Margaret's cemetery inscription which would indicate she was about 24 when they got married.

1393	There is a bit of mystery regarding Charles (Carl). He is listed in various sources differently. 1. He is listed in the 1860 Federal census as Charles, age 2, with his parents, Mathias and Mary, and siblings, suggesting a birthdate in 1858. 2. He is listed in the 1875 Minnesota state census as Chales with his parents, Mathias and Mary, and siblings. 3. He is listed in the 1870 Federal census as Charles, age 12, in Winona with his parents, Mathias and Mary, and siblings, suggesting a birthdate in 1858. 4. He is listed in the 1875 Minnesota state census as Chas, age 17, with his parents in Winona, Mathias and Mary, and siblings, suggesting a birthdate in 1858. 5. He is no longer listed in the 1885 Minnesota state census with his parents and siblings in Winona. 6.In the 1895 Minnesota state there is a Carl E. Staack, age 36, listed in St. Paul as a barber with his wife, Augusta and daughter Sylvia. This would suggest a birthdate about 1859. The census date is 1 May, 1895 so Carl would not have turned 37 until two months later. This would again sugggest a birthdate in 1858. Augusta's age is also listed as 36 so this would suggest her birth date is also aroung 1858 or 1859. 7. Carl E. Staack is listed in the 1900 Federal Census with his family in St. Paul. The birtdate is listed as July 1860. His wife Augusta's birth date is list as Nov. 1861, much later than the 1895 census suggests so, for some reason, these dates seem erroneous. 8. In the 1905 Minnesota census both Carl and Augusta are listed as 44 years old which suggest their birth dates were about 1861. 9. In the 1920 Federal census, Carl Staack and his son, Carl Staack, Jr., are listed together as lodgers. Carl's age is 62 which would imply his birth was around 1858, but the census lists his place of birth as New York for some reason. It also lists his father and mother's birth place as Holstein which would be consistent with the place Mathias Staack emegrated from. 10. Carl E. Staack is listed as a widower in the 1930 Federal census, age 72, which again suggests a birthdate of 1858. 11. Carl E. Staack's death certificate lists his parents as Richard Staack and Mary Patterson rather than Mathias Staack and Mary Peterson. Conclusion: If Charles and Carl are the same person, it appears he changed his name when he moved to St. Paul. It seems strange that his father is listed as Richard on his death certificate, but everything else suggests that they are the same person.	Staack, Charles (Carl) Emil (I68)
