1520 Some discrepancy in deaths, and Old Kittery and Her Families lists as 27 Oct 1833. Have changed from prior records I had which listed death 22 Jul 1836, which I believe came from DAR records by Olive Fernald / Mabel Drennan. Also, a close look at his headstone reads what looks to be “81” or “811”(!) yrs, so still a bit of a mystery.

Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution, 17 Vols:

Fernald, Archelaus, Pepperellborough. Capt. Samuel Leighton's co.; pay abstract for travel allowance from home to Dorchester Heights in Aug., 1776; also, same co.; company receipts for wages for Aug.-Oct., 1776, dated Dorchester; also, Capt. Leighton's co., Col. Ebenezer Francis's regt.; pay abstract for travel allowance from Dorchester Heights home; warrant allowed in Council Nov. 29, 1776; credited with 7 days allowance; also, same co. and regt.; company receipt for wages for Nov., 1776, dated Dorchester; also, Private, Capt.

From Miriam Fernald Bancroft’s DAR entry:

Hercules Archelaus Fernald, 1776, enlisted in Capt. Samuel Leighton’s company, and in 1777 served under Capt. Elisha Shapleigh. He served at the siege of Boston, in the Burygone campaign, and was detailed to guard prisoners after the surrender. He was a pensioner when he died in North Berwick in 1836, aged eighty seven. 		FERNALD, Hercules Archelaus (I393)
 
1521 Something looks off about circumstances in which James & Laura were married. James has married Lillie Lester in 1896, when both were 21. They are shown as still living together married in 1920 census in Mt. Vernon NY. But in 1930 census, James gives his age when first married as what appears to be 52, which coincides with his 2nd marriage to Laura. When Lillie dies in 1947, she is noted to be widow of James Rawling, though he did not actually die until 1950.

It’s not clear whether James divorced Lillie before marrying Laura. It’s also not clear how long marriage to Laura lasted, as she was not living with him by the 1940 census, and her death/obituary have her as Laura Trapnell, with no mention of marriage to James.

From Chatham Press, Jan 9 1927:

RAWLING-James Rawling-Laura Trapnell-Marriage-1926-NY

1557 Summary on George Austin from Trapper Byrne:

George Washington Austin. born 4-9-1848 in Illinois, died March 14, 1925 in Hollister
of Colon Cancer. He was the 12th of 12 children. In May
1864, when he was 16, he enlisted in the Union Army and served in an
Illinois regiment that saw service with Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman during
his campaign in Georgia. George was in the Army for only 100 days, but that
was not uncommon. There's nothing I've found that says whether George s
actual combat, but I have my doubts.

By 1872, George had found his way to Neodesha, Kansas, where he was
married on the Fourth of July to Anna Marie Rue, commonly known as Anni
She was just shy of 17 years old -- born 7-19-1855 in Ohio. They stuck
around Kansas long enough for Conover to be born a year later. By April 1875
they had made their way to Hollister, where George was listed on the voter
rolls as a carpenter.

By 1886, the next set of surviving voter rolls, George is listed as the
town marshal. In a newspaper interview, Grace said he was the town constable
for 10 years and that she could remember him running for office every year.
Since she was born in 1885, that would have his tenure lasting into the
1890s sometime.

In that interview, Grace recalled living in ""a big house with a big lo
... Bad winters meant that wagon loads of mud had to be taken away. ... This
was grain country the. You could see grain and hay storage bins
everywhere.'' Sounds exciting, eh?

Grace described her mother, Annie, as ""a good and religious woman, but
she did like to watch the race horses every week.'' Grace, by the way, was a
schoolteacher, and said she taught at ""the old Fremont school for over 10
years.''

George died of colon cancer on March 14, 1925. Annie lived to
be 83 before succumbing of something called chronic myocarditis on
10-11-1938. She was living at 840 Washington St. in Hollister at the time.




Hollister News Items on George Austin:

The Hollister Democrat. February 23, 1883

Hard Blows -- Some people may entertain the idea that the position of a night watchman is one of ease and comfort. If any one hereabouts has such a notion, he should try the occupation a few nights. We know not how night officers act in other towns, but we dow know that officer Austin has experienced several rough times in the discharge of his duties as an officer. Last Saturday night he was compelled to use severe force in quelling a turbulent spirit, and in the fracas he recieved a painful injury to one of his hands, which has caused him much trouble since. Last Sunday night he again came in collision with a fighting character, and was forced to throw the man and threaten to use the club before the law-violator would act peacefully. In such cases as these, the officer would be justifiable in giving the resisting men a decoction of hickory and handcuffs. We do noth uphold any officer in abusing a criminal, but we believe that when a man attempts to injure an officer when making an arrest, that a genuine blow over the head should be administered. Mr. Austin is a most careful officer, but he always captures his man, and he fears none.

For two years past B.F. Ross has held the position of Marshal of the Town of Hollister. His term expires in May, at which time a new Marshal will be elected. Mr. G.W. Austin announces himself as a candidate for this important office. Mr. Austin is well known by all our people, and has obtained already a good reputation as an officer. In 1882 he was appointed night-watchman, the following year he was elected Marchal. For 3 succeeding years he was re-elected Marshal.


The Hollister FreeLance. May 10, 1889

***G.W. Austin Elected Marshal***

W.W. McDonald is a first class man, and no doubt would have made a good Marshal but Austin received 190 votes while McDonald could only scare up 101. Frank Ross was elected marshal last year because all the roughs and toughs in town from R.R. Brown down or rather up, through the whole category of dead beats, pimps and drunks supported him. They elected Ross last year, and Mac thought as long as they stood in with him, he could get enough of the respectable element to pull him through. Alas! he reckoned without the cost, and the result is he got soup.

Is Marshal Austin going to run the toughs, or will the toughs run the Marshal? Up to date the Marshal has run the toughs, and it is to be hoped will continue to do so.

***A Drunken Trio***

On Saturday three of Jon Cullen's men came into town and proceeded to get drunk. Marshal Austin arrested the worst one and told Joe Perez to put the team up. When Joe attempted to do this, the two who were left seized him by the legs and made him turn a somesault out of the wagon onto the ground. For this effort the remaining members of the trio were allowed to explore the mysteries of the calaboose.

On Sunday morning John Cullen came to town, paid the fines of his men, and then got drunk, was arrested and locked up in the calaboose along with one of the men whose fine he had just paid.





From The Adjutant General Report, Illinois:

One Hundred-Day Men.

Early in the spring of 1864 the government of the Northwestern States, namely: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, believing that the rebellion was nearing its close, and desiring to aid the Government in every way possible, tendered to the President a volunteer force of 85,000 one hundred-day men, to relieve the veteran soldiers from guard duty at our forts, arsenals and elesewhere. Of this number Illinois furnished thirteen regiments and two battalions.

Speaking of the the service performed by the hundred-day troops, Governor Yates, in his last annual message, paid them a high and deserved compliment in these words:

"Our regiments under this call performed indispensable and invaluable services in Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, relieving garrisons of veterean troops who were sent to the front, took part in the Atlanta campaign, several of them also composing a part of that glorious army that has penetrated the very vitals of the rebellion and plucked some of the brightest laurels that this heroic age has woven for a patriotiic soldier. Five out of the one hundred-day regiments, after their term of service had expired, voluntarily extended their engagements with the Government, and marched to the relief of the gallant and able Rosecrans, who, at the head of an inadequate and poorly appointed army, was contending against fearful odds for the preservation of St. Louis and the safety of Missouri. The officers and soldiers of these regiments evinced the highest soldierly qualities and fully sustained the proud record our vetrans have ever attained in the field, and the State and Country owe them lasting gratitude, and we have in a great degree to attribute our success in Virginia and Georgia to the timely organization and efficient services of the one hundred-day volunteers furnished by all of said States. The President has, by order, returned them the thanks of the Government and the Nation for the service thus rendered, and accords the full measure of praise to them as our supporters and defenders in the rear, to which the regular reserve force of large armies are always entitled."

The One Hundred and Thirty Seventh Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organized at Camp Wood, Quincy, Ill, by Colonel John Wood, and was mustered in June 5, 1864, for one hundred days.

On June 9, 1864, the Regiment left Quincy, and proceeded to Memphis, Tenn., where it was assigned to the Fourth Brigade, District of Memphis, Colonel E. L. Baltwick, Thirty-ninth Wisconsin commanding. On July 9, assigned to Third Brigade, Colonel John Wood commanding, and was stationed on the Hernando road, on picket duty.

The Regiment was mustered out of the United States service at Springfield, Ill, September 4, 1864. 		AUSTIN, George Washington (I172)

1568 Talented artist and painter--inherited gift from his father, Abraham.

Owned the Garden Pharmacy in Hollis, Queens, NY from 1926 to 1957

From Ruth Sheinaus Asimov: "Of the three girls and one boy that Fanny and Abe had, only Louis, my
father, went to college, although the women married a doctor (Esther), a
dentist (Rosie) and a lawyer (Lizzie). My father took a pharmacy degree at
Columbia (they no longer have a college of pharmacy) and a pharm.d. degree at
some New Jersey college which I don't know. Abe's family knew the Scheiner
family in Europe, and when they came here, they lived near each other. (My mother,
Nettie, was a part of the Scheiner clan, 'tho her last name was Pollakoff."

Louis was known as "Foff" because when his daughter, Ruth, was little, she pronounced the word "father" as "foff.'' 		SHEINAUS, Louis (Foff) Pinkas (I736)
 
1569 Talented artist--inherited this gift from her father, Louis (Foff), and her grandfather, Abraham.
enjoyed making pottery on a wheel, painting and sculpting.

At PS 118, where Ruth attended school from grades 1-8 from (about 1928 to about 1936), she and her brother, Harold, and other children planted the trees behind the school on 109th Ave. In 2004, they were still there.

"The earliest movie I went to was King Kong. I remember covering my eyes, I was so scared. I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. I went with my (older) brother (Harold)."

1573 The Asimovs were leading citizens in Petrovichi, socially & economically. There, Judah set up a co-operative organization for buying and distributing food, which he ran for 5 years.

He helped organize a library in the town, and he and his wife, Anna Berman Asimov, took up amateur theatre. She was apparently a good actress.

He also brought the first real doctor to Petrovichi in 1915, named Dr. Gugel. There had been no doctor in Petrovichi at the time -- only a registered nurse called a "feldsher."

Judah's Grandfather Mendel loved him very much. Judah was his first-born grandchild. (There had been a girl born earlier, who died in infancy.) Mendel used to hold Judah in shul, and Judah felt that Mendel would have given his life for him.

Judah was one of eight children, though two died in infancy: a girl in 1894, and a boy in who died at 6 months in 1904.

Judah was born about a block away from Anna Rachel Berman. (See notes in their wedding section.)

Judah and Anna left Petrovitchi for Moscow on Dec. 24, 1922, by a hired horse and buggy. They traveled to the Pochinok Station with their 2-year-old son, Isaac, and their nearly 6-month-old daughter, Marcia, who had a bad cough. The family went to Liverpool and boarded the USS Baltic, which landed at Ellis Island in Feb. 1923.

Judah's recollections, written in 1969, say they arrived on Feb 3 1923 and were allowed to leave the ship on Feb 7. The electronic record of the ship's manifest (ellisisland.org) (https://tinyurl.com/35tsy2sn) erroneously says they arrived on Feb. 13, 1923. But the record itself has a Feb. 3 date. Judah said it took them four days to leave the ship, so they set foot in NY for the first time on Feb. 7, 1923.

The Baltic's manifest lists the family from "Petrowitschi" as follows: Juda, Hana Rochel, Aisik & Manis Asimy. https://tinyurl.com/35tsy2sn

As for the ship:
BALTIC 1903
The BALTIC was a 23,876 gross ton ship built in 1903 by Harland & Wolff, Belfast for the White Star Line.

In "In Memory Yet Green," Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) writes of Judah: "When I was young, my father, who loved to tell me stories and parables designed to improve my mind and spirit, would occasionally expound on a biblical verse. (He knew the Bible by heart -- for he was a very very great scholar, too, in the shtetl sense--but in Hebrew, of course.) He would recite the verse in Hebrew, then translate it into English--or Yiddish, if he couldn't think of an English word..."

1579 The occasion of the marriage ceremony performed Thursday by Rev. L Kirtley, at the residence of Mr. G. R. Byrne on Lansing avenue, was one of the happiest and most pleasant of the season, and was really a brilliant affair. It was the marriage of Eliza, a daughter of Mr. Byrne, to George W. Scotford, one of the Citizen office typos. The rooms of the pleasant residence were beautifully decorated with evergreens and choice flowers, and the marriage ceremony was performed with the couple standing under a large wedding bell of white flowers, and made binding with a ring. The bride was neatly, but not gorgeously, attired in pure white, and Miss Libbie Wilson and Messrs. Esler and Will Hamilton acted as brides maid and groomsmen, making a handsome wedding party. The presents were numerous and valuable, many of these being from friends and abroad. The couple left on the morning train eastward, and will be absent a few weeks visiting friends in Detroit, Port Huron, Toledo and other points. Family: SCOTFORD, George W / BYRNE, Eliza A (F1017)
