19190009017Meadville Cleveland Youngstown Pennsylvania PA. Good. 1919. On offer is the 1919 diary of Esther A. Walling of Meadville Pennsylvania. She is a very proud and at that time female Railroad Clerk at the Erie Railroad Office. Her brother with whom she lives is Frank. He is also a railroad clerk and a person she loves very much. She goes to church on Sundays and is often on trips to Cleveland Youngstown and Jamestown for fun weekends of shopping and entertainment with her girlfriends or brother. There are just a few entries until late February in which Esther takes a trip to Cleveland with her girlfriends. "Saturday February 22 We went shopping today and purchased this book also the picture "On the River Tiber." We went to the play "The Girl Behind the Gun" this afternoon and in the evening went to the Hippodrome. Aunt Attie met us & we took her to supper in the old arcade. We stayed at the Hotel Winton." She seems to have some pretty strong union sympathies often going to "Brotherhood of Railway Clerks" later known as the Transportation Communications International Union and speaking enthusiastically of the meetings and the new members initiated during the year. The early 20th century was a high time for labor movements in America and it was not uncommon to find strong believers in unions at this time. In May she and Frank go to Chicago to meet their mother who is returning from vacation in California. They spend a few days in the city shopping seeing sights and meeting friends. The entries are fairly irregular in their frequency. They tend to be most regular when Esther is on a trip outside of Meadville. During these trips there are usually entries written everyday until she comes back home in which they resume the frequency of two or three entries every week. July and September are the most consistent with entries almost everyday. The summer is filled with work small weekend trips meetings of the "Brotherhood" and much small town entertainment such as parades fireworks concerts and leisurely drives in her brother's 1919 Ford. In mid-October Esther takes a nice vacation with her girlfriend Hazel They go to Washington D.C. first and take in the famous sights. "Took sightseeing car around Wash. visited Capitol museum etc. In afternoon we went to Arlington VA. saw the wireless station where the time is sent daily over the country and many historical places." They go from Arlington to Mt. Vernon and visit Washington's home then off to to Philadelphia where they see the Liberty Bell and other attractions. From Philadelphia they move on to New York getting in at Grand Central Station. They do not stay long in the city as they have a same day train to Boston. "Monday October 20. We went in Sightseeing car to Lexington & Concord. Most interesting trip we took. Saw Harvard College and went in John Hancock's old home; saw homes of many authors poets and noted people." A few days later they are back home in Meadville. The rest of the year is back to normal for Esther. Esther's handwriting is simple and easy to read done mostly in ink with the exception of a few entries near the end of the year. The front and back cover are slightly detached from the paper. Mild age-toning to pages and some discoloration caused by newspaper clippings pasted to a few pages throughout the year mostly about birth and wedding announcements. There is also a small piece of ephemera in the book a letter from the office of D.G. Snodgrass M.D. that reads "July 27th 1918. Rec'd Esther Welling one dollar for vaccination. D.G. Snodgrass MD." Why this letter is in the book is not noted. Examples of text: "Thursday March 6. A number of other Erie girls & I attended the annual Fried Turkey supper at the Baptist Church this evening. Fine supper. After the supper we went to on Centre St. where an assistant organizer attempted to organize a local lodge of Railroad clerks." ; "Tuesday April 22. Went to lodge "Brotherhood of Railway Clerks" tonight. Good attendance. Nineteen new members were taken in and several names proposed for initiation at next meeting."; "Saturday August 16. The first annual picnic of the Erie RR Shops & Offices was held at Celeron today. Special train of 19 coaches left at 8:15 A.M. returning on special train leaving Jamestown at 11:30 P.M. There was a terrible storm & cyclone at Celeron."; "Sunday September 7. Slept till 10:30. Willie came up to attend the clam bake at Oakwood Park for Bessemen employers. An aeroplane passed over the city this A.M." Background - As related in the August 1919 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine the USRA found that nationwide 101785 women were working at railroad occupations at the high point of female employment October 1 1918. The Erie accounted for 11 percent of that total employing 10274 women in various job categories. On the Erie the largest category employing women by far was clerical: 81 percent of the female workers worked as clerks stenographers draftswomen and assistants and ticket clerks.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ESTHER WALLING FRANK WALLING MEADVILLE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD CLERK ERIE RAILROAD OFFICE BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY CLERKS TRANSPORTATION COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL UNION LABOR MOVEMENT IN AMERICA WOMEN IN UNIONS WOMEN IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT IN AMERICA RAILROAD WORKERS INTERWAR PERIOD IN THE UNITED STATES WOMEN POST WW1 WOMEN WORKING IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY SUFFRAGE SUFFRAGETTE PRE SUFFRAGE FEMINISM WOMEN'S STUDIES GENDER STUDIES PRE FEMINIST ERA POST WORLD WAR 1 AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL AMERICANA ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown
1871List3241Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York 1871. Thirty-two letters two apparently missing final pages; with fifteen pages of incomplete letter material. Excellent to Near Fine. Letters from some of the young ladies of the Hazard family primarily Gertrude Minturn 1843–1877 Anna Peace 1845–1868 and Esther Robinson 1848–d. Hazard with some from other family and friends. The family was descended from Thomas Hazard one of the founding settlers of Newport Rhode Island.1<br /> <br /> The girls were educated and often write from school; Anna and Esther attend the ‘Friends School’ in Providence which is probably the Moses Brown School and Gertrude attends Dr. Dio Lewis’s School for Young Ladies in Lexington Massachusetts. Founded by Diocletian Lewis a temperance and physical culture advocate the school incorporated his exercise system developed to condition weaker individuals. Gertrude describes a regimen of thirty minutes of walking plus an hour and a half of exercise and discusses Dr. Lewis:<br /> <br /> “Dr Lewis gives familiar lectures on any subject which the scholars propose. He is a very pleasant genial man and takes part in the games & dancing with the greatest spirit. There are about 20 scholars. Some of them board in the village but are subject to the rules of the school. This building is very large and is mostly occupied by the patients of Dr Lewis’ ‘Movement Cures’ to whom most of his time is devoted. The scholars and patients associate together. Indeed we are under very little constraint the teachers leaving our actions to be regulated by our own sense of propriety; and they seldom find occasion to reprove the scholars for misdemeanors.†November 23 1864<br /> <br /> Meanwhile Anna and Esther’s education is more on the religious side; Esther writes:<br /> <br /> “We have not been to meeting very often since we returned from our lovely visit to Newport but the first Sunday morning I did think all the time of it as I said I was going to. We were edified this morning by a sermon from Elizabeth Meader or rather a torrent of noise so that I am nearly deafened now. I don’t think I ever heard a more horrible combination of sounds from the mouth of any human being.†January 8 1865<br /> <br /> Though speaking in tongues is most strongly associated with Pentecostalism it is not unheard of in Quakerism. In his book of genealogy and reflections the girls’ father Thomas Hazard 1797–1886 connects the family’s “strong religious tendencies†to his own interest in spiritualism.2 This interest in mediumship comes up several times in the letters first in 1864 when one of the girls reports that “Pa writes us that at a circle which he attended a few days ago a clairvoyant medium described our house at Vaucluse perfectly†February 24 1864 and later when one of the girls attends a circle with their father in Philadelphia:<br /> <br /> “Yesterday morning Pa & I had a sitting with a Mrs. Robinson a trance speaking medium. The communication from mother was the most beautiful I ever heard. She spoke to us just as she used to on earth using the same expressions. It seemed as if I could almost see her – we are going again on Monday.†February 8 1867<br /> <br /> That is the pair spoke to Frances Minturn Hazard who had died in 1854.<br /> <br /> Of interest to researchers of the Hazard family and Rhode Island Quakers.<br /> <br /> 1 Caroline Elizabeth Robinson The Hazard Family of Rhode Island 1635–1894 Printed for the Author 1896.<br /> 2 Thomas R.

1930413180Ypsilanti Michigan / Virginia / California 1930. Softcover. Very Good. Oblong octavo measuring 8" x 6". 59pp. String-tied black leather over stiff paper boards. Contains 218 gelatin silver black and white or sepia toned photographs measuring between 2.5" x 1.5" and 4.5" x 2.75" with captions with additional ephemera from 1924 to 1930. Tears and chips with some pages detached but present thus very good with near fine photographs with tiny tears and creases. <br /> <br /> The photo album contains a plethora of photographs featuring Esther Davis and her adventures. Most pictures are of the three Davis daughters; Alice Rachel and Esther either posed or candid shots with their friends taken at Michigan State Normal College in Ypsilanti Michigan. Esther Davis is seen dancing and smiling with all her glee club members standing outside wearing fancy clothing or costumes and graduating high school and college. Esther Davis lived in the Bessie Leach Priddy House a sorority at Michigan State Normal College. <br /> <br /> While most of the pictures are from Michigan some are labeled from places in Virginia and California. Two of which feature photos of Mary Pickford on the set of Little Annie Rooney which was being filmed in West Hollywood California. Pickford was 33 at the time of filming but played a spry and determined young Irish girl. The movie became one of the highest grossing films of 1925. Pickford is seen smiling with the cast in one photo and then posing in the other. Both photos are fine with "Mary Pickford in ‘Annie Roonie" written on the bottom edge. <br /> <br /> An interesting collection of photographs from a young woman during 1924 to 1930 documenting her adventures with friends and family completing her education and her encounter with Mary Pickford. unknown

"In making a second collection of masterpieces of paintings that have given pleasure and afforded inspiration to many generations of mankind I have endeavoured to represent several great painters who did not appear in my former volume of which this is in some measure a continuation. Crivelli Luini Giorgione Moroni Landseer Mantegna and Perugino are among those who were left out of Great Pictures for lack of space. Even now looking at the two volumes together many favourite pictures will be missed; but it must be remembered how impossible it is to include within the limits of two small books every work that justly holds a firm place in the affections of all who love and reverence great art." ---- from the Preface.

A bright and attractive copy with just a bit of foxing to verso of frontispiece and toning to last few leaves. Contemporary ink gift inscription to upper flyleaf: "Mary Tollmash Clements - A birthday gift from her affectionate father." Very Good<br /> <br /> A collection of six stories by Esther Copley 1786 - 1851 an abolitionist children's author and public health advocate born in London to parents of Huguenot origin. Her tracts included Hints on the Cholera morbus 1832 a guide to remedies and prevention of cholera and domestic tracts for the working class that included information on childbirth and other health topics. Her numerous works for young readers included collections of stories for middle- and working-class children as well as nonfiction like The Young Reviewers 1821 which introduced children to literary criticism; Scripture Natural History for Youth 1828; and A History of Slavery and its Abolition 1836. A History of Slavery was a crucial work "tracing the course of slavery from scriptural times to Copley's own day. Her youthful audience was spared neither graphic descriptions of the sufferings of black slaves in the West Indies nor lengthy accounts of the proceedings of the anti-slavery movement" Oxford DNB. Copley's work remains "a witness to the significant commitment of nonconformist women to the anti-slavery cause" ibid. Very Good . Printed for Houlston and Co unknown
