Contains: 66-page store ledger with surname index 1856-57; 71-page "Accounts of the Firm of Shank & Weltmer" 1857-58; 52-page "Diary by C. H. Shank" Jan. 1868-April 1870. Christian Henry Shank 1834-1895 son of Henry and Magdalena Shank was born in North Annville Township Lebanon Co. Pa. He worked in stores in Annville and Union Deposit; farmed the Shank homestead in North Annville; engaged in timber land speculations in North Carolina; went into the shoe business with John Kelchner; and was the bookkeeper of the Lebanon Stove Works. He married first Leah Landis 1842-1868 with whom he had Alice 1859-1938 Clara 1860-1881 and Ida 1868-1868; and second Barbara Funck 1840-1924 with whom he had Florence 1879-1956 and Henry 1881-1949. In the period covered by the diary he was working the farm and then moved into Lebanon and started working in a store. His non-work activites included: travelling to Virginia for a week; attending camp meetings the state fair political meetings a convention in Lebanon "the Drummer Boy of Shiloh" possibly the play by Samuel Muscraft church conferences and lectures and an organ dedication; serving as a juror; joining a hay fork company; and taking goods to the poor house. His wife Leah Landis Shank "gave birth to a Female child" in Feb. 1868; on Sept. 2 he notes: "Been to the Doctor several times about my wife she died at Quarter past one oclock." Several days after the funeral he rented out the farm and mill. The baby Ida who had been staying with his mother in Lebanon died a month later. In Feb. 1869 he sold his personal property at the farm moved to a house he had purchased in Lebanon and started working in John Rauch's store. He continued to be involved in various other money-making ventures including raising and selling Italian bees; making medicine "under the name of Shank Heiss & Co"; and investing in a hay rake company and in land in the Bay River area of North Carolina which he visited in Jan. 1870. In Nov. 1869 he "Left for Detroit Michigan this morning to have Perry arrested and brought in to Lebanon if Possible but he made his escape to Canada" probably someone who owed him money. In Jan. 1870 he notes that he "spent a few hours after church with Miss Funck" which continues regularly until the beginning of April when he prepared to return to North Carolina. In Good Condition: loss of leather from spine; back board is detached but present; old dampstaining at upper edges of ledgers and into upper half of pages in the diary which is still legible. hardcover

Atlantic City Railroad DisasterBiblio.com

19 Cent. Atlantic City Railroad Disaster Archive of Large Mounted Photos of Wreckage and Clean-up ca. 1896

1896234211896. TransportationIndustrial Disasters Atlantic City railroad disaster photo archive likely documenting the July 30 1896 collision west of Atlantic City New Jersey one of the deadliest American railroad accidents of the 1890s. The wreck occurred when a West Jersey Railroad excursion train carrying members of the Improved Order of Red Men fraternal organization from Bridgeton and Salem crossed the Reading Railroad line and was struck by a Philadelphia express crushing loaded passenger coaches and leaving dozens dead and injured. The local Atlantic City photographer's stamp the beach and pier crowd the open rail junction the smashed wooden coachwork and the dense public gathering around the debris all support identification with the Atlantic City disaster rather than a more inland wreck. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 4 albumen photographs each approx 7.5 x 8 inches mounted on boards measuring approximately 10 x 12 inches Atlantic City New Jersey likely 1896. At the wreck site men in suits caps work clothes and shirt sleeves stand among splintered timbers exposed wheel assemblies broken coach framing twisted metal and scattered railroad debris. A damaged passenger car remains partly upright with its roof torn open and side panels crushed while another wreck scene includes telegraph poles parallel tracks a railroad signal and a wide crowd gathered across the right of way. Workers and onlookers climb over the wreckage stand on overturned components and cluster around the remains of the coaches giving the scenes the character of both recovery work and public witnessing. The fourth view shows the community Atlantic City's shore economy with men women and children gathered along the beach and crowded across a pier many in formal summer dress hats and parasols. Verso stamp reads: "W. Crompton & Co. 132 N. South Carolina Ave. Atlantic City N.J. Duplicates can be furnished at Short Notice."<br /> <br /> By the 1890s Atlantic City had become a major East Coast resort town and railroad access was central to its growth; the same excursion system that filled its beaches also concentrated large numbers of passengers in wooden cars vulnerable to catastrophic collision. The presence of a local commercial photographer's stamp is significant indicating that these disaster scenes circulated as purchasable local views for an audience already accustomed to buying Atlantic City souvenirs. Mounts toned and soiled prints faded with some loss of contrast scattered surface wear and staining to mounts one with slight loss at upper right corner; overall in good condition. The archive preserves the immediate aftermath wreckage and response to a major Atlantic City disaster in the late 19th century. unknown
