As noted in previous pages, this blog is for the purpose of inventorying every page in my maternal great-grandfather's many-paged <b>TERWILLIGER SOUVENIR ALBUM</b>, covering the years from 1840 to roughly 1900.<br />
<br />
Today's post is Page 43, which is a bit of a mish-mash. There are two Old Guard Military receptions, one ticket for an Opera "Grand Bal," and a colourful oddity of a card. Eleven small hotel 'seals' images are pasted around the tickets.<br />
<br />
Who went to those hotels? When? Why? So many questions with few if any answers.<br />
<br />

Fanciful image of <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arion" target="_blank">Arion with a harp</a></b>, leading a parade down a street.<br />
There is no writing, details, place, time - nothing. Just a very colourful carnival-like image on very heavy paper, glued heavily on this page. I suspect there is a satirical aspect to it, when looking at caricatures of people in the parade and on the sides, don't you? It is signed by J. Keppler. and produced by Mayer, Merkel & Ottmann, Lith. 24 Church St. N.Y.<br />
<br />
Finally, there are <b>3 sets of seals,</b> likely cut from stationary, most in NY. Perhaps he simply liked the images. Here they are, top middle, top right, and then bottom middle. Eleven seals in total.<br />

As noted previously, this blog is for the purpose of inventorying my maternal great-grandfather's <b>SOUVENIR ALBUM</b>, from 1840 to roughly 1900. <br />
<br />
Today's post is Page 46 is another hodge-podge of events which Grove TERWILLIGER carefully saved. I see a few fascinating items - the Dance Card filled out in different hands [inside], and the out-of-this-world Christmas Menu from Weddell House restaurant in Cleveland Ohio. There are other events which indicate a relationship, perhaps friendship or associates. Most of these items open up, so the images below will be the open image.<br />

<b>Berkshire Hills / MANSION HOUSE / Williamstown, Mass. / Sunday, July 4th, 1875 / A. G. Bailey, Proprietor </b>This is a fairly simple menu with 9 options of a meat/fish dish, everything with a sauce! I'm hungry looking at these choices. It's interesting that Grove was in <span style="color: #073763;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamstown,_Massachusetts" target="_blank">Williamstown</a></span> - it's a few years before his marriage to Clara Augusta GRAVES. Perhaps Grove went with his parents, as his father was active in politics. There are lovely buildings in Williamstown, but I could not find "Mansion House."<br />
<br />
<b>Bottom left: </b><b>Union Boat Club / <i>Sixth Annual Ball / Metropolitan Opera House / Tuesday, February 9th 1886. </i></b><i> </i>I wonder who was a member of the Union Boat Club. The only information I could find is that the UBC [as it was termed] was centred in Boston MA. Searching through newspapers of the times, it is noted that they chose the Metropolitan Opera House this year. "There will be in attendance representatives of the principal boat clubs in the United States and the Musical Programme includes 100 instruments." <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>[Rochester Democrat And Chronicle, Saturday, February 6, 1886; accessed through OldFultonNewspapers]</i></span><br />

<br />
From Oysters to French Coffee or English Tea - this two page menu is absolutely filled with food choices. Too many to type out, unless you email me with a request! It would take pages of this blog to list all the entrees, from 5 different ways to have Oysters on the shell, to any/every kind of meat, inluding Rocky Mountain Antelope with Cranberry Jelly, Cold Dishes, Boiled items, Vegetables, Sauces of all kinds, Pastries, Jellies and Creams, Fruits and Desserts, and Confections. The variety is absolutely amazing. Grove TERWILLIGER would be 19 years of age this Christmas.<br />

The Williams Chapter is in Williams College, Williamstown MA. Alpha Delta Phi chapter in Williams College was active from 1851-1969. Grove TERWILLIGER attended Williams College in 1873, but did not continue.<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n_ZLy5q-oc8/XIbBPEPe0eI/AAAAAAAAl40/i9GO2OQVbAc4yjvx75qOFlA3guJjwX9dQCLcBGAs/s1600/Page%2B46%252C%2Btop%2Bright%2Binside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1123" data-original-width="1600" height="224" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n_ZLy5q-oc8/XIbBPEPe0eI/AAAAAAAAl40/i9GO2OQVbAc4yjvx75qOFlA3guJjwX9dQCLcBGAs/s320/Page%2B46%252C%2Btop%2Bright%2Binside.jpg" width="320" /></a><b>Top right: Syracuse Graduating Exercises, / of the Class of '76, / Syracuse High School, / Friday, June 30, 1876, / 2 1-2 o'clock, P.M. [inside] </b>The Programme lists various solos, speeches, Valedictory, Music, and more, as the graduating pupils received their Diplomas. The motto on the right side is in Latin: Suscipere et Finire - roughly, accept and limit [end]. I'd love a better approximation, since it seems rather passive as a motto! Feel free to help me out with this translation. Six young men and fourteen young women graduated this year. I'm assuming some in this group may be friends of 20 year old Grove, or children of his parents' friends.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2lAHK4jZAyU/XIbD1aGMcII/AAAAAAAAl5A/92K64YQrsmEwmMbzEaCL6jyGxElNiM6BQCLcBGAs/s1600/Dance%2Bcard%252C%2Bcover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1161" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2lAHK4jZAyU/XIbD1aGMcII/AAAAAAAAl5A/92K64YQrsmEwmMbzEaCL6jyGxElNiM6BQCLcBGAs/s200/Dance%2Bcard%252C%2Bcover.jpg" width="145" /></a><br />
Finally we come to the bottom right which is a very small Dance Card, only 4.5" x 3.125". I've uploaded both the cover as well as the full card [inside]. <br />
<b>Bottom right: Dance Card Closing Hop, / Mrs. J.P. Goettel's / Monday Evening Class, / Empire Hall, / March Thirty First, 1884. </b>And inside 18 listed dances - Quadrille, Waltz, Lanciers, Galop, in various orders, with 6 waltzes. CEH Hubbell had 3 dances plus the Dinner, and HEC Clapper had two dances. Whoever the woman was with this dance card, Hubbell must have been a strong interest, fiancé, or husband. At this point, it's hard to know without more research. Fascinating to me.<br />

As noted in previous pages, this blog is for the purpose of inventorying my maternal great-grandfather's <b>SOUVENIR ALBUM</b>, from 1840 to roughly 1900.<br />
<br />
Today's post is Page 45, and the highlights here are two marvellous Masque Balls tickets. Clearly Grove TERWILLIGER and his wife Clara loved social events such as these - there are a number of Masque Ball tickets in the Album.<br />

I am curious who they might have gone with to these balls and receptions. Perhaps my 2nd great-grandparents were members of these various organizations. But, no information is added, all tickets are glued down forever.<br />

This page shows some of the activities of James G. Terwilliger and his wife particularly in providing names of a group of friends, including the Windeckers, Loefflers, Boorman, and Lockwoods.<br />
<br />
I looked up the name <i><b>George W. Dilks,</b></i> and found he was an Inspector with the New York Police Force in 1880 [census]. Note that James' father was active on the Board of the Police Force.<br />
<i><br /></i>
If any of these people are familiar to you, or are ancestors, do let me know, so I can add information to this Souvenir Album. And if I've somehow mistranscribed the fancy lettering, I'm happy to receive corrections!<br />

Today's post is Page 41, with three items: an undated unidentified Graduation Program, an 1883 Commencement Class program and, an 1872 Class Day [Graduation?]. By clicking on the links, you may learn more about these places and events.<br />
<br />
Left, <b>Union Business College</b>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With a little digging, I was able to find more information on the unidentified item and some details. This is a Graduation Program of <b> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce_College" target="_blank">Union Business College</a></b>, later named for the Principal and Founder, <b>Thomas May Peirce,</b> Peirce College. The <b><a href="http://www.stokowski.org/Germania_Orchestra.htm" target="_blank">"Germania Orchestra"</a></b> mentioned is the precursor to the Philadelphia Orchestra.<br />
The opening Prayer was given by <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Simpson" target="_blank">Rev. Bishop Matthew Simpson</a></b>, a Methodist Bishop, who travelled widely, and was well regarded. The Methodists strongly favoured the Freedmen (former slaves) post the Civil War.<br />
The Hon. John Welsh had a remarkable history, which can be read <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Welsh_(diplomat)" target="_blank">with this link</a></b>. His son, Herbert, also had a strong influence on Indian affairs during the late 1800s, as may be <b><a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1886/12/9/mr-welshs-work-in-indian-reform/" target="_blank">read here</a></b>.<br />
The Annual Address was given by the <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eaton_(general)" target="_blank">Hon. John Eaton, LL.D.</a></b>, the US Commisioner of Education from 1870-1886, through five US Presidents.<br />
And the Address to the Graduates was given by <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_B._Fisk" target="_blank">Gen. Clinton B. Fisk</a></b>, the President, Board of U.S. Indian Commissioners. He was an Abolitionist and, after the Civil War was Ass't Commissioner for the Freedmen's Bureau for Kentucky and Tennessee. Whew - quite the list of speakers!<br />

I'm unclear whether my great-grandfather actually was present at this time, or simply had a copy of the program because of education connections. Note the little owl sitting on the two books in the middle of the photo.<br />

Here is Page 40, with more Commencement Exercises invitation cards, occuring from 1881-1883. There is nothing written on the outside/front side of the invitations, so no clues as to why the Terwilligers were invited to these events. I will cover these 6 invitations from left, across the top, then across the bottom.<br />

<br />
Here is Page 39, with more Commencement Events occuring from 1878-1883. Goodness, my great-grandparents went to many diverse educational events and commencements... from the Eclectic Medical College to the Phrenocosmian Society(!). Links will lead you to further information, so do click and follow them through.<br />

Here is Page 38, which has several Commencements, plus meetings, and a card of a woman who is completely unknown to me. Research shows there were several Lendrum families, but no one with the name Margaret/Maggie that I have found as yet. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is Page 37 - with almost 30 calling cards of various acquaintances. They are put in rather oddly, with cards turned sideways on both sides, going into the middle card. Odd. What can I say, my great-grandfather filled the page thoroughly. Note the stain on the bottom middle of the group - it looks like a liquid was spilled and wiped off. Coffee? Wine? The ink is fading quite badly on many of these cards, so the image is not the best, I'm afraid.<br />
<br />
When I opened the page, the first known name I saw is the one on the left side of the bottom, Gaylord P. Clark, an old friend of my great-grandfather. I will simply list these cards, starting at top left, and advancing more or less across the page from side to side, back and forth roughly by row. Some cards are partially covered, and the glue is phenomenal - I am unable to peek underneath the card to find more information!<br />

After a number of pages of Wedding Cards of various sorts, we suddenly find a much more personal page:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Judging by the chins and other details these are shadow silhouettes of an older couple and a somewhat younger woman, plus a handwritten Valentine, an 1897 Christmas Programme, a few cards from friends as well as another couple's wedding cards, all from around the 1890s.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYPlv7VkkbdXSMA020eC50rlraGY4iZ3zhxoS10JwLcZG9snKkzUSjPQB7N5hy7D_X_YTxxcjJmO0yGICG-9UvIDDVmx0Y1GocaQDg1xjx9zMvU4i1qTn3kGIH2-49MsSwGTXwDhKeaoe/s1600/Page+36%252C+Man+Silhouette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYPlv7VkkbdXSMA020eC50rlraGY4iZ3zhxoS10JwLcZG9snKkzUSjPQB7N5hy7D_X_YTxxcjJmO0yGICG-9UvIDDVmx0Y1GocaQDg1xjx9zMvU4i1qTn3kGIH2-49MsSwGTXwDhKeaoe/s200/Page+36%252C+Man+Silhouette.jpg" width="121" /></a>I'll take the three shadow silhouettes first, and assume they were done in late 1800s. I'm tentatively assuming they are of my Grandmother's Grandparents and my Great-grandmother.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aqqGqdaeb6s/Vd_hMkp32WI/AAAAAAAAL4k/Y8Cytjbiveo/s1600/Page%2B36%252C%2Byounger%2BWoman%252C%2BSilhouette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aqqGqdaeb6s/Vd_hMkp32WI/AAAAAAAAL4k/Y8Cytjbiveo/s200/Page%2B36%252C%2Byounger%2BWoman%252C%2BSilhouette.jpg" width="91" /></a>Such silhouettes were popular in the earlier part of the 1800s, but died out when photography began to be more used. This TERWILLIGER family seems to have been very interested in art and music, so I could think they carried on making silhouettes for their own enjoyment. If made in the late 1800s, the older couple <i>could </i>be her mother's parents: Charles Giles GRAVES & Hattie ORMSBEE (b. 1824, 1827). While possible, these <i>could </i>be her father's parents: James M. TERWILLIGER (except there is no beard or sideburns, which he normally sported) & Harriet BUELL (b. 1825, 1829). I'm assuming the ages of the older couple by the chins, hats, clothing. The somewhat younger woman might possibly be Clara Augusta (GRAVES) TERWILLIGER, b. 1857. It is definitely a puzzle to analyze.<br />
<br />
I'll take any thoughts from you readers about these silhouettes. Of course, it is possible they are simply commercial silhouettes, having nothing to do with any particular family member! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jKBlwcaEaJM/Vd_cIijK1JI/AAAAAAAAL4U/UkhVVjbSXlo/s1600/20150822_131328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="174" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jKBlwcaEaJM/Vd_cIijK1JI/AAAAAAAAL4U/UkhVVjbSXlo/s200/20150822_131328.jpg" width="200" /></a>On the top row is a torn bit of envelope (white pieces, see large photo at top) with a written label <i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Valentine Wish"</span></b></i>. This seems to have come from a friend, a Mrs. Frost, in New Jersey. The Valentine itself, hand-made with a pretty turquoise ribbon, states the following in the person's handwriting:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> "Love in a hut,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> with water and a crust, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Is - Love, forgive us,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Cinders, ashes, dust."</span><br />
Isn't that an odd verse? <i>[Update, Sept.6, 2015. Thanks to a reader, Kathy, who knew this was from a John Keats poem, </i>Lamia<i>. Details and the entire long poem may be <b><a href="http://www.online-literature.com/poe/2055/" target="_blank">read here,</a></b> scrolling down, you will find the quote begins Part 2.]</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the bottom right is a calling card: <br />
<i>Mr. & Mrs. Norton B. Andrews,</i> with an attached small card: <b>Norton Herrick Andrews</b>. <br />
Odd. It is clearly printed with those names and initials. Is the attached little card a notice of their son's name? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
To the right of the calling card, is a wedding invitation of <b style="font-style: italic;">Anna Harvey Smith </b><i>to </i><b style="font-style: italic;">Mr. William Richings Hill, May 27, 1894, eight o'clock, First Presbyterian Church, Roselle, N.J. </b> I have no idea what the relationship is of these two young people to my TERWILLIGER relatives, and have not yet found any links. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JlIzzAFhnqA/Vd_m7nmQkXI/AAAAAAAAL5U/Vk5cczAWJs0/s1600/Page%2B36%252C%2BProgramme%252C%2B1897.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JlIzzAFhnqA/Vd_m7nmQkXI/AAAAAAAAL5U/Vk5cczAWJs0/s200/Page%2B36%252C%2BProgramme%252C%2B1897.jpg" width="143" /></a>On the right side of the man's silhouette is a <b>Programme </b> for a Christmas entertainment, 1897. The songs, instrument solos and other pieces listed, do not seem to be a religious programme, and I do not recognize any of the other names in the programme. The embossed lettering on the front cover is very attractive. I do wonder why it does not state where this entertainment is being held? Perhaps it is printed on the back cover which is heavily glued to the page! <br />

<br />
As noted in previous pages, this blog is for the purpose of inventorying every page in my maternal great-grandfather's TERWILLIGER SOUVENIR ALBUM, covering the years from 1840-1900 or so. See<b> </b><a href="http://terwilliger-souvenir-album.blogspot.ca/2015/01/page-32-wedding-cards-1860-1893.html" target="_blank"><b>Page 32</b> </a>, <b><a href="http://terwilliger-souvenir-album.blogspot.ca/2015/02/page-33-2nd-page-of-wedding-cardsnotices.html" target="_blank">Page 33</a>, </b>and <b><a href="http://terwilliger-souvenir-album.blogspot.ca/2015/07/page-34-3rd-consecutive-page-of-wedding.html" target="_blank">Page 34</a></b> for the previous of 4 consecutive pages of wedding cards and notices. While Page 32 contained items for our TERWILLIGER & GRAVES family members, the next pages seem to be primarily of their friends.<br />
<br />
Because of how these cards are organized, I will start at the top and list them horizontally.<br />
<br />
<b>1. CROHEN - ALVORD</b><br />
<i>Mr. Hermann Crohen / requests the pleasure of your company / at the wedding reception of his daughter / Julia / and / Thomas G. Alvord, Jr. / Thursday evening October ninth / from eight until ten o'clock / No. 14 Sidney Place / Brooklyn / 1884 </i><br />
This place is still standing, with a pretty turquoise-painted door entryway. <br />
<br />
<b>2. COOMBS - FOX</b><br />
<i>Mr & Mrs. William Jerome Coombs / announce the marriage of their daughter / Mary, / to / Dr. Sidney Allan Fox, / Tuesday, April twelfth, 1887. / Brooklyn, N.Y.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>3. HOTALING - HITCHCOCK</b><br />
<i>Mr. George P. Hotaling, / Miss Jenny A. Hitchcock, / Married / Thursday, October eighteenth, 1883 / New York City.<br />At Home Fridays, / The Seward, / 175 East 93rd Street</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The middle horizontal row is of visiting cards:<br />
<br />
<b>4. Mr. & Mrs. George S. Hier</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. Dr. & Mrs. Gaylord P. Clark </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>6. Mr. & Mrs. Fred Frazer</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The bottom horizontal row, continues:<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eTq_AyQQhvo/VZhbQr5KQgI/AAAAAAAAL0M/34dlZRfqn8I/s1600/West%2BPresby%2Bchurch%252C%2Bbefore%2Bdemolished%2B1912.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eTq_AyQQhvo/VZhbQr5KQgI/AAAAAAAAL0M/34dlZRfqn8I/s200/West%2BPresby%2Bchurch%252C%2Bbefore%2Bdemolished%2B1912.jpg" width="153" /></a><br />
<b>7. EDDY - LEGGAT</b><br />
<i>Mr. & Mrs. Robert H. Eddy / request your presence / at the marriage of their daughter / Emma Sutherland, / to / Mr. Walter Romaine Leggat / on Tuesday evening, May twenty fourth, / at eight o'clock. / West Presbyterian Church, / Forty second Street between 5th & 6th Avenues.</i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[The church was demolished before 1912 - see image on the right]</span><br />
<br />
<b>8. FLUKE - WADSWORTH</b><br />
<i>Mr. & Mrs. John Fluke / request your presence / at the marriage of their daughter / Caroline Burleigh / to / Edward L. Wadsworth, / Wednesday evening Sept. 8th / at eight o'clock. / Trinity Church / Renovo, Pa. / 1886</i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[Renovo PA is a tiny town in central PA, so likely my great-grandparents didn't attend.] </span><br />
<br />
<b>9. LAMB - TAIT </b><span style="font-size: x-small;">[1925 marriage invitation - only late-dated one in the album] </span><br />
<i>Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rollinson Lamb / announce the marriage of their daughter / Katharine Stymets / to Mr. Trevor Spottiswoode Tait / on Saturday, the fourteenth of November / One thousand, nine hundred and twenty-five / at The Fold / Cresskill, New Jersey</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
The next page in the TERWILLIGER SOUVENIR ALBUM is a mixture of family profiles, and other ephemera. Eclectic.<br />
<br />
If any of the above individuals are known to you, or if you would like a good copy of the photos of their married cards, please let me know via calewis at telus dot net, or leave info in comments below.<br />

On this next page, Page 33, appear more wedding cards and marriage notices, likely of their good friends. There are two more of such pages to come. A very social couple, these TERWILLIGER great- grandparents!<br />
<br />
I am copying information from these cards by starting top left, then top right, then 2nd row: i.e., doing horizontal pairs to the bottom:<br />
<br />
<b>1. HOLDEN & NOTTINGHAM</b> This is an At-Home card: <i>Mr & Mrs. Wm Nottingham</i>, with a smaller card inside: <i>Miss Eloise Holden</i> [wife or daughter?]. At Home Thursdays Dec 1st and 8th, at 63 East Fayette St., Syracuse, N.Y.<br />
<br />
<b>2. </b><b>FYLER & </b><b>HOLDEN </b> Willis A. Holden / Idelle L. Fyler / <i>Married / Tuesday, September Twentieth, / Syracuse, N.Y. / 1881 // </i>With smaller card inside: <i>Mr. & Mrs. W.A. Holden. Brooklyn.</i><br />
<br />
<b>3. HOLDEN & CURTIS </b>Clearly the Holden family was well known to my great-grandparents! <i>Charles D. Holden, / Elizabeth A. Curtis, / Married / Thursday, June tenth, 1880. / Syracuse, H.Y. / At Home / After July 1st. / No. 5 W. Adams St.</i><br />

<br />

<i><br /></i>
<b>8. ELMENDORF & JUDSON</b> <i>Mr. & Mrs. Edward Barker Judson, Jr. / Syracuse, New York. // </i> With smaller card: <i>Miss Elmendorf</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
By the way, there are a number of different stationers who printed out all these envelopes, mainly from Syracuse, a few from New York. Perhaps I will do one posting "soon" with their names. <br />

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">My great-grandfather James Grover "Grove" TERWILLIGER filled his late 1800s Souvenir Album with a miscellany of ribbons, invitations, stamps, cards, tickets, cut-outs from hotel letterheads, newspaper articles, and other items from his travels and affiliations. </span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><br /></b></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>P</b></span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">age 32</b><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <br />contains cards of the Terwilliger family weddings, invitations as well as cards stating they are now married. Several are of their cousins in the Terwilliger or Graves families. Note I am happy to copy any of these cards for those descendants who would like a better quality photo for their records. </span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">All are carefully labelled, but I am not certain whose handwriting this is. From the top down are the following: </span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>GRAVES-WISNER 1877</b> (2), My great-grandmother, "Gussie" (see below), was the middle of three sisters, and this is the marriage notification card of her eldest sister, Lilian Adele Graves to lawyer, Gabriel W. Wisner on 11 July 1877, in Syracuse, Onondaga, New York. They had 3 boys, Charles Kenneth, John Lawrence, and Rae Burton (known as Burt), plus daughter Florence Ethel (known as Ethel). All four married, with one or two children, except for Florence. </span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>

Gussie & Grove married 2 Oct 1879 in Syracuse, Onondaga, New York. They had three children: one daughter, my maternal grandmother Marguerite "Daisy" Josephine [also known as "Pepita/Peter"], and two sons, George Walter and Harold "Hal" Graves Terwilliger. All three married, Daisy with 5 living children, George and his "Duchess" Hazel (more nicknames!) with 2, and Harold "Hal" & his Baroness Carola with no children.</span><br />
<br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>HERRICK-WILBUR 1879</b>, This is the only couple's marriage where the couple are no relation to the family, and I am assuming they are likely good friends of my greatgrandparents' families. Florence Herrick married Hiram M. Wilbur, in Syracuse, on 4 Sep 1879, a month before my great-grandparents' wedding. Hiram was a lawyer, and the young couple may be seen on the 1880 census living about 70 miles north of Syracuse in Watertown, Jefferson, New York. Florence was 22, Hiram 28.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>GRAVES-TYLER 1893</b>, As mentioned above (Graves-Wisner) my great-grandmother, Clara Augusta "Gussie" GRAVES, was the middle of three girls, and this is the marriage notification/At Home card for her younger sister, Florence "Flo" Estelle Graves to Ernest F. Tyler. They were married in Jordan New York on 6 sep 1893; living after October 5th in Muncie, Indiana, where Ernest had a jewellery store. They had the one child, Lillian G. Tyler (named for Flo's oldest sister), who married Tony Petrucelli, a wonderful artist. I remember my mother at Christmas receiving painted Christmas cards from her cousin Tony - I have no idea where those cards are now. I seem to recall that Mom called Flo "Aunt Toto"... </span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>CHAPIN-TERWILLIGER 1884</b>, My great-grandfather had one younger brother 12 years younger, named Harry Reid (likely for his paternal grandmother, Margaret Reid, although I have also seen his middle name spelled Reed) Terwilliger. He married the daughter of Edwin E. Chapin, Minnie W. Chapin on 4 Nov 1884 in Syracuse, New York. Harry died in 1917, while Minnie lived until 1936 in Syracuse. They had one living son in 1886, James Edwin, and their descendants live now in Florida.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>

Mary E. Terwilliger is my great-grand-aunt, the aunt of James Grover "Grove" TERWILLIGER. She married Roswell O. Brown in 1860, and this pretty envelope encloses a small visiting card with their names:<i> Mr. & Mrs. R. O. Brown,</i> and a very difficult-to-read name ending in Terwilliger. I'm assuming this is her, even though her first name is extremely faded. She and Roswell can be found on several censuses, and had at least one child, a boy, named Daniel O. Brown, b. abt 1873. I have done little research on this couple.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My great-grandfather, James Grover "Grove" TERWILLIGER, filled his late 1800s Souvenir Album with a miscellany of ribbons, invitations, stamps, cards, tickets, cut-outs from hotel letterheads, newspaper articles, and other items from his travels and affiliations. </span><br />

These are dated 1873, '74, '75, '76. Note that as Grove TERWILLIGER was born in 1856, he would have been 17 in 1873. I wonder what particlar classes he took? No records seem to exist of such details, unfortunately.</span><br />

<br />
In 1900, the School moved to <b><a href="http://archives.syr.edu/buildings/renwick_yates.html" target="_blank">Yates Castle </a></b>(part of Syracuse University) for 6 years. Click on the link to see the incredible building, which is no longer there, being demolished for an expansion of the medical school.<br />

Grove Terwilliger, Secretary. Jas would be his father, James M. Terwilliger. Such a neat tidy signature, isn't it? Interestingly, the 1875 address for his father, at 139 Warren Street, is new to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each invitation included a programme of speeches, music, oratory, and supper. An example may be seen here, for the reunion in 1876. Each of the glued-down momentoes opens up with details of events planned for each re-union. Note spelling at this time - we now use 'reunion' as correct spelling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have further information or have questions about the people listed in any of the programmes, I would be happy to share what I have, and to add details to this post. Contact me via calewis at telus dot net, or in the Comments below. Thanks for visiting; I hope to finish inventorying each page of the Souvenir Album within 2 years! </span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is virtually unreadable by now, with gold lettering on very dark purple silk, much faded. Because of the dates of other items, I may assume it took place between 1870 and 1885. The menu seems highly detailed, from Soups to Wines, with a large variety of foods for each course. The dark marks you can see on the silk is bleed-through from the original glue. The glue spots also show in the following white silk menu, below. <i> [See <a href="http://terwilliger-souvenir-album.blogspot.ca/2014/04/page-20-7-event-tickets-1865-1883.html" target="_blank"><b>p.20</b> </a> small ticket of 3 along the side, for the entry ticket for this event. </i></span></span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">- thanks again to Albert Riezebos]</i><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My great-grandfather, James Grover "Grove" TERWILLIGER, filled his late 1800s Souvenir Album with a miscellany of ribbons, invitations, stamps, cards, tickets, cut-outs from hotel letterheads, newspaper articles, and other items from his travels and affiliations. <b>P</b></span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">age 27 </b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shows a page full of names on calling cards.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My great-grandfather, James Grover "Grove" TERWILLIGER, filled his late 1800s Souvenir Album with a miscellany of ribbons, invitations, stamps, cards, tickets, cut-outs from hotel letterheads, newspaper articles, and other items from his travels and affiliations. </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Page 26 </b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shows 16 denominations of paper currency glued down forever! Wouldn't it be interesting to see the back side? The images are in very poor shape, and are difficult to decipher...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Down the left hand side are 3 larger denominations:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. Saybrook Bank, Five Dollars.</b> Along the top can be seen "State of Connecticut"; "On Demand" below the image of a woman waiting for a sailing ship. This appears to be a bank draft made out for $5 to "J. Hall or Bearer". Nov. 1, 1860. Signed by E. Redfield, Cash. and C.R. Doane, Pres. Why on earth would my great-grandfather receive this bank draft? and why decide to glue it down? Mysteries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. Confederate One Dollar. </b> The top left corner: "RICHMOND", top right: April 6th, 1863. I don't recognize the man's image in the middle. In small italics on each side of the image: "Six months after the ratification of a Treaty of peace / Between the Confederate States & the United States of America" </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the middle, CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA / Will pay to the bearer on demand ONE DOLLAR. Serial No. 10293. Signed on the left, S. Bernard (for Register), and on the right, N. Semple (for the Treasury). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Update: The image is of </i></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Clement C. Clay, who served in the Confederate Senate as a Senator from Alabama during the Civil War. Plain back. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Thanks to Albert Riezebos for the link!)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. Two Dollar Bill, Bank of Washtenaw </b>No. 42836 (or, 42876).

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The right hand section of fractional currencies will be briefly described, as placed in short rows from left to right; note some of the men depicted on these paper currencies are not identified.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note that Fractional Currency was introduced by the US Federal government following the outbreak of the Civil War... in use between 21 August 1862 and 15 February 1876.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whew! I wish I knew who the individuals were - the images are so bad I have difficulty dropping them into Google searches - only George Washington seems familiar to me, a Canadian</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Most of the monies seem to be from 1835 to 1865, but that is an estimate only. <i style="font-weight: bold;">I have Updated the information above to the best of my ability. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_currency_%28United_States%29" target="_blank">detailed Wikipedia link </a>with images and links to faces, showing backs of currencies as well </i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(scroll down).</i></span><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have any information about these paper currencies from the 1800s, I would love to be corrected, or be able to add more details about them. Of course, they have no value currently, as they are glued down permanently to the paper stock. I do wonder what the glue was made of... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>Update: </b>Thanks to Albert Riezebos, a very helpful Canadian genealogist, I now have proof of my great-grandfather's membership in Sigma Phi, in the Alpha of Massachusetts. Grove (James Grover TERWILLIGER) had been a student at Williams College in MA in 1873, and joined Sigma Phi in 1877. See listing below in "Catalogue of the SIGMA PHI with the THESAURUS", printed 1891, showing his current residence at the time (<span style="font-size: x-small;">found online, Google Books) :</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My great-grandfather, James Grover "Grove" TERWILLIGER, filled his Souvenir Album with a miscellany of ribbons, invitations, stamps, cards, tickets, cut-outs from hotel letterheads, newspaper articles, and other items from his travels and affiliations. <b>Page 23</b> has 7 invitations: 6 are for Sigma Phi social events, and the last is for a Yale College Glee club event. Meeting at 6, dancing at 7:30, for several Sigma Phi events. However there are only a few years printed on the invitations; many have only the month, weekday, and date. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much searching through examples of perpetual calendars has ensued... my mind glazed over eventually. I found many pretty examples of how to find the day of the week from the year and date, but only mind-blowing versions of how to find the year for a date and day of the week... It did not compute for me. I'm clearly missing an obvious step. So I'm putting it out here, and anyone who can figure it out, please let me know. Most likely, these events are from 1870 to 1895. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I expect it would be reasonable for me to write to Sigma Phi in New York and request information on whether or not my greatgrandfather was a member. Although, it is possible he received these invitations via his colleagues or friends. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5.</b> Top right invitation has an embossed old English S on the front, with the same type of lettering inside for the name.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-style: italic;">7. </b>The final bottom right invitation has its own envelope, glued down carefully, so I cannot read to whom it is addressed (sigh), and in the usual style and manner, states: <b><i>The pleasure of your company is requested at Sigma Phi Place, Wednesday July fourth at six o'clock P.M.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hmmm. Does anyone have knowledge of the histories or details of any of these events? Or know any of the names mentioned? I'm assuming the names are officials in charge of the events, or of the chapter. The next page, <b>Page 24</b>, has more invitations and notices from Sigma Phi, so I'll do another page next Saturday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Page 22 has 8 At Home cards, centred around an invitation to a Wooden Wedding celebration - a 5th Wedding Anniversary. Since the celebration is the only dated item - 1871 - I'll assume the other cards are from roughly the same period. And, since he and his wife were not married until 1879, it is possible that some cards may be from his parents' collection. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are the top 4 cards, left to right each horizontal row:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GK8Rc87xlIU/U21zNBjD4rI/AAAAAAAAEhM/yebtNRvkmmo/s1600/IMG_0454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GK8Rc87xlIU/U21zNBjD4rI/AAAAAAAAEhM/yebtNRvkmmo/s1600/IMG_0454.JPG" height="140" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. Mr. & Mrs. E.M. Dudley</b> Mr. E.M. Dudley apparently was involved in the setting up of the Bryant Association Library in Syracuse NY, according to several articles found in the Syracuse Daily Journal in the mid-late 1870s. This link takes you to a rather challenging-to-read page, 3rd column from left, partway down the column, from <b><a href="http://fultonhistory.com/Newspapers%20Disk3/Syracuse%20NY%20Daily%20Journal/Syracuse%20NY%20Daily%20Journal%201879.pdf/Syracuse%20NY%20Daily%20Journal%201879%20-%200258.PDF#xml=http://fultonhistory.com/dtSearch/dtisapi6.dll?cmd=getpdfhits&u=7aace42c&DocId=8289021&Index=Z%3a%5cIndex%20I%2dE%2dV&HitCount=6&hits=5c1+5c2+5c3+110b+110c+110d+&SearchForm=C%3a%5cinetpub%5cwwwroot%5cFulton%5fNew%5fform%2ehtml&.pdf" target="_blank">February 18, 1879.</a> </b> I also found a reference in the Syracuse Standard, November 25, 1884, of "E.M. Dudley, basso" taking part in an entertainment, as part of St. Mary's Fair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. Mr. & Mrs. T.W. Dalton</b>, with bottom left corner details possibly indicating they were taking up their new residence as a married couple - <i><b>At Home, 144 South Salina St., after December 1st 1881.</b> </i>Mr. Dalton apparently was a druggist, owning his own store in Syracuse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. Mary T. Jackson </b>Also printed in the same very ornate lettering as the Dudley's card, was apparently a teacher, running the <a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyononda/SYRACUSE/KEBLESCH.HTM" target="_blank"><b>Keble School</b></a>, an English & French Boarding and Day School, with Kindergarten, as noted in the Daily Standard, 1873. In the 1880 Census, a Mary T. is the wife of E.M. Dudley, #1 card above, and might be the same person -? Possibly, or possibly not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4. Mattie E. Smith </b>I was able to find a few references to Mattie E. Smith - e.g., taking dancing lessons in Brooklyn, in 1883, and attending dances. Also mentioned in the Sunday Saratogian, August 29, 1886: <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Miss Mattie E.Smith, whose readings </span></i></span><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and songs have been heard with pleasure </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in the parlors of various hotels during </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the week is a guest at the Pleasant </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Home, Federal street."</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Next, Wooden Celebration - printed on a thin slice of actual wood: </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5. Mr. & Mrs. Frank E. Marble, </b>request the pleasure of your company, at the celebration of their <b>Wooden Wedding</b>, Tuesday Evening, Feb 14th, 1871, 205 Shonnard Street [Syracuse NY]. Frank Marble had been a Captain in one of the NY Civil War battalians; and apparently also owned several homes, according to several advertisements in Syracuse area newspapers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next 4 cards also appear to be at home cards, read left to right, in two horizontal rows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_HYBEqU_39Y/U22DhLqn-NI/AAAAAAAAEh0/4EKqN8CoKDg/s1600/IMG_0455.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_HYBEqU_39Y/U22DhLqn-NI/AAAAAAAAEh0/4EKqN8CoKDg/s1600/IMG_0455.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>6. Dr. & Mrs. James Willis Candee </b> Dr. Candee was a homeopathic physician, one of the representatives of the State Medical Examiners Board of New York. He and his wife seem to have had a very social life, with many notices in the newspaper of various parties given.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>7. Mr. & Mrs. Owen D. Perry 19 Plant St. Utica N.Y. </b> Utica is east of Syracuse NY. Owen Perry owned a clothier store with his brother. He married Miss Nellie Burrill, (card on bottom right), in 1881. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>8. Eva Fredrika Smith</b> A 1916 Brooklyn newspaper notes a Miss Eva F. Smith, a long-time employee of the Customs Service, acting as Chairman of the Library Committee. This committee worked to open a small library as part of the Barge Office Building Social Welfare League. It provided a space for men waiting between jobs to read or play "innocent games". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>9. Miss Nellie Burrill</b>, who married Owen D. Perry in 1881, see #7 above. I found a reference to her attending the First Baptist Church in Syracuse, along with Mrs. Charles Graves, my great-grandmother; also a reference to a mutual friend who attended the same school as my great-grandmother, Mt. Holyoke. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whew! Some of these cards appear to be more relevant to Grove & Gussie TERWILLIGER, some to Grove's parents, James & Harriet TERWILLIGER. Both couples appear to have been very social, and participated in many social events in Syracuse and New York city. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
