To Reach Roxbury
By Airplane.
There is an excellent airport on the
Kirkside grounds which can be easily located from the air and where you can
make a safe landing.
By Railroad.
From New York City and vicinity take
the West Shore Railroad from Weehawken
to Kingston or take the New York Central
Railroad to Rhineeliff and ferry to Rondout (City of Kingston). From Kingston
take the Catskill Mountain Branch of the
New York Central Railroad to Roxbury.
From Binghamton or Albany take the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad to Oneonta and the Catskill Mountain Branch of
the New York Central from Oneonta to
Roxbury.
Or from Albany (N. Y.) take the West
Shore Railroad to Kingston or the New
York Central to Rhineeliff and ferry to
Kingston.
Timetables and information can be obtained at any railroad ticket office.
By Bus
Take any bus line from New York City
or Albany to Kingston. Take bus from
Kingston to Margaretville and from Margaretville to Roxbury via bus for Oneonta.
It will probably be better to take the
Greyhound Bus Line or the Adirondack
Short Line to Grand Gorge which is only
six miles from Roxbury. And from Grand
Gorge to Roxbury taxis are available. If
you are unable to find a taxi at Grand
Gorge telephone Cousin Kenneth B. Preston, Telephone 2675 or 2251 Roxbury, and
arrangements will be made to come and
get you. Or better still write or telephone
Cousin Kenneth B. Preston, Chairman of
the Reservations Committee, just what
time you are arriving and arrangements
will be made to meet the bus when it
reaches Grand Gorge. Definite information can be obtained at any bus office.
By Auto.
Roxbury is on N. Y. State Route 30.
Route 28 crosses Route 30 at Margaretville Route 23 at Grand Gorge; Route 7
near Central Bridge; Route 17 near East
Branch.
From Kingston, take Route 28 to Arkville, turn right at Arkville and cross on
macadam road to Route 30 and follow that
to Roxbury.
From Oneonta, take Route 23 to Grand
Gorge, then Route 30 to Roxbury.
From Catskill, take Route 23 via Cairo,
East Windham, Windham, Prattsville, to
Grand Gorge, then Route 30 to Roxbury;
or, take Route 23-A from Catskill via Palenville, Haines Falls, Tannersville, Hunter,
Lexington, Prattsville, to Grand Gorge,
then Route 30 to Roxbury.
From Albany, take Route 20 to Duanesburg, Route 7 to Richmondville, Route 10
via Summit and Jefferson to Stamford,
284
Route 23 to Grand Gorge, Route 30 to
Roxbury; or, from Albany, take Route 20
to Duanesburg, Route 7 nearly to Central
Bridge, then Route 30 by way of Schoharie, Middleburgh, Grand Gorge, to Roxbury.

Memorabilia.
The names of the Committee on Memorabilia are printed on page 285 in this
Journal. They are appointed to collect,
arrange, catalogue, exhibit and preserve
articles of family interest and history. At
previous reunions the display of memorabilia has been very interesting, and the
Committee will have a similar display for
this reunion. You will surely wish to give
some time to looking over this exhibit.
John and Betty Stories.
Beautiful Kirkside.
Copies of the John and Betty Stories,
published in 1930, are still to be had.
This book of 94 pages, written by Grace
Van Dyke More and illustrated by Virginia More Roediger and Herman DuBois
More, presents in attractive form the traditions about John and Betty Taylor More.
It is a book preeminently suited to interest children in family history. Readers
outside the family who are interested in
education have commended and purchased
the book.
Copies may be had of Miss Anna Palen,
Treasurer, J. M. A., Roxbury, N. Y. The
price is one dollar.
A Scotch Item.
Cousin Finley J. Shepard, in conformity
with the custom of Mrs. Shepard and himself, has again placed at the disposal of
the Association for the Reunion all the
beautiful Kirkside grounds, including the
golf course. These grounds make a wonderful site for many of the most pleasant
features of our reunion and cannot be
duplicated anywhere. The beautiful park,
the lake, the golf course and every part
of the grounds afford opportunity to add
to our pleasure. The invitation to use
The History of the More Family, published in 1893, belongs now in the list of
rare genealogical works. Our President,
Taylor More, writes as follows by way of
illustration: "A dealer offers a copy of
the History of the More Family for $6.50.
If anyone is interested, communicate with
Taylor More, 2 Rector Street, New York,
N. Y., who will try to get it for less."
As an indication that this is an opportunity it may be noted that Noah Farnham Morrison, dealer in rare books, 314-
SUGGESTIONS TO COMMITTEE MEMBERS:
If the Chairman does not promptly communicate with you, you get after him, and
yourself communicate with other members
of the committee.
REMEMBER the committee members
are responsible for its job.

offers a copy for $12 and a second copy,

Presidency.
To the Members of the More Family:
You have several times honored me by
electing me president of the J. M. A. I
consider it a very real honor and esteem
it more than I can express.
However, I feel the time has come when
you should, at the coming Reunion, choose
some younger member for the presidency
of the Association; someone who can and
will direct the activities of our fine and
unusual organization. Wisdom and good
business confirm the conviction that we
should be training a younger person for
the presidency.
I shall at all times assist and co-operate
in any way I can. I am earnest and serious about this change.
Yours for co-operation,
TAYLOR MORE.
The President asks you further to
Remember
the Committee
Finance
on
You will hear from the Chairman soon
and this is the reason:
Our Reunions have cost about $1,200.00.
Only 63 members pay dues.
More than the amount of such dues has
been required to pay for the printing and
mailing of the Journals, so that there has
been no accumulation from dues or subscriptions.
It mars the pleasure of the Reunion to
be obliged to solicit funds for our expenses during the Reunion.
Won't you make this unnecessary by
responding to the call of the Finance

Facts About Figures.
Note that included in the balance of
October, 1935, was the balance of the special Reunion fund of that year, which
more than paid for the report of the Reunion.
Note that the average cost of the four
other Journals was $275.
Note that the annual dues and subscriptions for four years have not equaled the
cost of the Journals.
Notice of dues for the 50th year have
been sent out to 63 members. Note the
proportion to the total membership.
Since our balance is so small, we may
have to call on our Savings Fund for the
pre-Reunion Journal, due in early July.
It is fifty years since the plan of annual dues was instituted. Since a diminishing number use this method of financing the Association it is hoped that at
the coming together in August some other
plan may be evolved.
A Luncheon Invitation.
Cousin Frank J. Gould, who has this
year as in previous years provided prizes
for the various events, generously asked
also to have the More family as his guests
at luncheon, continuing the gracious custom of his sister, the late Helen Gould
Shepard, at many earlier reunions. The
response of the Association, as made by
the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
Clement S. Keator, is contained in the
following letter:
"June 24th, 1940.
Mr. Frank J. Gould,
Paris, France.
Dear Cousin Frank:
You will, of course, be very sorry to
learn that Cousin Taylor More has been
very seriously ill for the past two weeks.
July, 1940
OF THE MORE FAMILY
We understand today that he is showing
some improvement and we are all praying
that his recovery will come quickly and be
complete.
As Chairman of the Executive Committee I am endeavoring to wind up the plans
for the coming Reunion at Roxbury. Taylor has done such a splendid job in laying the foundation for such plans that my
duties, I believe, will be comparatively
simple.
I notice that you have very generously
offered to defray the costs of prizes as
on past occasions and in addition offered
to take care of the luncheon, which has
previously been provided by Cousin Helen.
These affairs have always been a great
success and looked forward to and enjoyed
by all those who have attended the
luncheons and consequently we greatly appreciate your generosity.
We shall be glad to accept your check
for the prizes, but would suggest that the
funds that would otherwise go toward the
luncheon be designated by you for some
289
worthy cause among your neighbors in
France. This we might suggest be done,
if you please, in the name of the Association in memory of our dear Cousin and
your sister, Helen Gould Shepard.
We appreciate that you personally have
been doing everything within your power
to help those stricken people of France,
but feel that by doing this we all will be
having a definite part in this worthy
work.
On behalf of the John More Association
I should like to sincerely thank you for
your generosity and continued interest in
the More family. Taylor has said to me
that he had hoped it might be possible for
you to attend this Reunion. I am sure
that we all share this desire and trust
that if it is at all possible, you will be
with us.
Most sincerely yours,
(Signed) CLEMENT S. KEATOR,
Chairman of the Executive Committee."
NEWS OF THE CLAN
A Historical Sketch.
In an endeavor to collect material from
which to compile a biographical sketch of
Richard Cole More (833), Cousin Harold
K. Van Alen who has been working on the
revision of the Edward L. line wrote to
one of the senior cousins of that branch
asking for information. This cousin is
Clara More Ransom of Seattle, Wash.,
daughter of Isaac Van Loan More and
granddaughter of Edward L. More. Her
reply is of such general interest that extracts from her letter are here printed in
order that the information contained may
become a part of the printed record. For
the convenience of the reader the genealogical numbers have been added to the
names of the cousins mentioned.
Much has been written of the wonderful memories of some of the earlier Mores.
Here is a sample:
* * * "I note you request that I tell
you what I know of your Uncle Richard's
(833) early life. This is asking me to
call to mind events beginning seventy-five
years ago when I first remember your
uncle (833). We lived at my Grandfather
More's (8) at Marathon, New York.
Father (8 [12]) was his father's (8)
youngest son, the last one to be married,
so stayed at home to care for his parents.
The family at that time consisted of
Grandfather (8) and Grandmother (m 8),
Uncle John (83), who was your grandfather, Cousin Louise Burgess (8[10]1)
and her brother Edward Burgess (8[10]2),
Aunt Eleanor's (8[10]) children; Cousin
Janie More (861), Uncle Duncan's (86)
daughter Marie Corbin, mother's (m
8 [12]) youngest sister—a regular orphan
asylum.
"One day Uncle Richard More (81) appeared with your Uncle Richard (833),
his namesake, saying that he could no
longer care for the boy as he was too
much trouble to his wife. (They had
taken him when your grandmother [m 83]
died. Richard was then about ten years
old. Uncle Richard [81] had no children
of his own). So Father (8[12]) took him
to live with us; but changes were coming.
"The Civil War was on. Edward Burgess (8[10]2) enlisted. Louise Burgess
(8 [10]!) went to her father in Iowa.
Janie More (861) died. Marie Corbin
went to an older sister in Boston. Uncle
Duncan (86) had been speculating and had
lost heavily. Grandfather (8) had endorsed his notes, so the home place had
to be sold. What Father (8[12]) saved
from the wreck he turned over to his sister, Aunt Jane Waller (87), to care for
Grandfather (8) and Grandmother, then
took his wife and two children and came
west to Missouri to begin life again.
"This was in 1866. This left Richard
(833) again without a home. Think Aunt
Betsy Keator (83) and Aunt Maria Seacord (85) took turns looking after him,
although both had large families of their
own. I think Uncle Duncan (86) financed
his schooling.
"It was in the spring of 1876 that Richard (833) again came to father (8 [12]).
He was then about twenty-four years old.
We were living on a farm near St. Joseph, Missouri, at that time but Richard
(833) was not cut out for a farmer, so
in time he went to St. Joseph and learned
the carpenter's trade. He became a very
fine workman and was in demand when
especially fine work was to be done. He
lived there a number of years and married in 1889 Mary Schaeffer, a very fine
woman, member of a high-class German
Catholic family. She only lived about five
years; died leaving two children, the
youngest only a few days old. Her family
took the children and moved to Texas.
* * * Your uncle did not like the idea of
his children being raised Catholic. * * *
When Willie (833,2) the younger boy died,
Richard went to Dallas and took Eddie
(833,1) away with him to California.
* * * Did not hear from him until in 1916
or 1917, telling of his second marriage.
We were then living in southern Arkansas.
In the rush of moving I lost his address
and have never heard from him since.
* * * At that time Eddie (833,1) was
running a restaurant in San Francisco."

Richard More's second marriage proved
a very happy one. It was in 1908 that
he married Amelia Charlotte Huested. He
established a home at Palm City, California, and engaged in the general contracting business in the vicinity of San
Diego. He was very active in community
affairs and especially in musical circles.
Throughout his lifetime he had a very
fine tenor voice and delighted in taking
part in all musical events in his locality.
He had an unusually large circle of
friends among whom he was held in the
highest esteem. He passed away in 1933.
His widow survives him and still occupies
the old home at Palm City.
His son John Edward Sylvester Schaeffer More, above referred to as "Eddie,"
married and had two daughters who spent
the greater part of their early years in
the home of their grandfather Richard.
It was about twenty years ago that J. E.
S. S. More left San Diego saying that
he was going to the oil fields in Texas.
He has never been heard from since, although a recent report has it that he was
seen in Los Angeles some seven years
ago.
After his departure the mother took the
two children and went to San Francisco.
They were completely lost track of until
through an advertisement published in a
popular magazine we gained contact with
the former Mrs. More who is now Mrs.
Nadine Shotwell. Through her kindness
we are now able to present the complete
and corrected record which appears elsewhere in this issue.
Information Please.
In the course of the revision of the Edward L. line it has been impossible to ob-.
tain any information concerning George
Willett More, son of Duncan G. More and
grandson of Edward L. More. In 1893,
when the History was published, he lived
in New York City. On August 12, 1905,
he married Agnes Rose Cairns in London,
England. In 1910, when the obituary notice of his father appeared in the Journal,
1, 272, he was said to be "a publisher in
Pittsburgh, Pa." If still living, he is in
his eighty-second year. Any information
concerning him will be gratefully received
by Harold K. Van Alen, Champion, Mich.,
who is the genealogist of the Edward L.
line.
John Harley More.
The Journal of last year (p. 253) contained some new information concerning
John Harley More, oldest son of Alexander T. More. This related to his ownership of land in Greene County and particularly of a mill in Kaaterskill Clove.
Mrs. Cleveland A. Dunn of Scarsdale,
N. Y., who supplied this information, acknowledged the receipt of a copy of the
Journal with these words: "Your family
are to be envied for what they have done
in this line. I hope my inquiry may produce some further information on the mill
in Kaaterskill Clove. The mill stood opposite an interesting profile rock at the
lower end of the Clove."
Memoirs
MRS. SUSAN DECKER MARVIN.
Susan Decker Marvin, widow of Samuel
W. Marvin, died February 25, 1940, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred
Schrater in Buffalo, Wyoming, at the age
of 89 years. She was born in Margaretville, N. Y., August 16, 1850, the daughter of George Graham Decker and Catharine More Decker. On October 1, 1872,
she was married to Samuel Wesley Marvin of New York City. They had four
children: George Decker, Alexander Brewster, Eleanor Sands and Samuel Wesley,
Jr. Three children, George, Eleanor and
Samuel, survive.
Making their first home in New York
City, the Marvins moved to New Rochelle,
N, Y., in 1888, where they were prominent
in church and social life for 30 years. In
1910 they returned to New York City,
July, 1940
OF THE MORE FAMILY
where they made their home until the
death of Mr. Marvin in 1923. Soon after,
Mrs. Marvin moved to Wyoming to live
with her daughter, Eleanor Marvin Schrater.
Susan and Samuel Marvin were active
in the affairs of the John More Association for many years, contributing in time,
money and effort to make the reunions a
success. They were always deeply interested in the More cousins, far and
near.
Susan Marvin lived a long life of unselfish and devoted service to her family
and friends. Up to the last week of her
life she carried on a large correspondence
and many will miss her cheerful entertaining letters. She was always brave and
gay and of an exquisite beauty of character. She was laid to rest in Greenwood
Cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y., beside her
husband and son in the Marvin family
plot.
Of her passing her son Samuel wrote:
"Here in this quiet place I come to rest,
Beside the one I knew and loved the best.
I will to you that still face strife and
trial,
The hope and faith that made my life
worth while."
MRS. KATE FRISBEE MCKINLEY.
Mrs. Kate Frisbee McKinley, daughter
of John Wesley Frisbee and Phrocina
Whiteside, died on January 28, 1940, in
Southern Pines, N. C. She was born January 9, 1856, in Ogle County, 111., where
her father, a native of Roxbury, was doing pioneer work as a teacher and an organizer of education. On February 23,
1881, she was married to William Brown
McKinley, who was later a member of Congress and a United States Senator from
Illinois. Their home was in Champaign,
111. Mr. McKinley died December 7, 1926.
When the plans for the first More reunion were being formed, Mr. McKinley
served as a member of the committee on
the monument and Mrs. McKinley was a
member of the committee on the program.
She was a member of the Permanent Committee from 1890 until the end of her
life.
In recent years Mrs. McKinley had made
her home with Miss Helen B. Gregory in
Southern Pines, N. C. Replying to a request from the editors of the Journal
Miss Gregory wrote:
"You have the main facts of Mrs. McKinley's superficial life correctly. Of her
real life, the inner one, I can only give
you an indication. She was always a
semi-invalid, but she always wanted to
write. At one time in Chicago she wrote
editorials and got out of bed to carry
them down to the newspaper office, where
they were always accepted. At the same
291
time she wrote amusing skits for the paper, imaginary conversations between a
husband and wife on current topics. She
was told that they were copied from one
end of the country to the other. A severe illness put a stop to that, and soon
after she went to Europe accompanied by
her physician.
"Mrs. McKinley was an excellent business woman. She helped several of her
relatives through life by adding to their
diminutive incomes. And—apropos—she
bore the entire expense of publishing the
Genealogy of the Frisbee Family as a
memorial to her father.
"The sterling integrity of her character
and her intellectual honesty were the factors that attracted and influenced people.
I have had many grateful tributes from
her friends since she went.
"All of this sounds so solemn and I
ought not to send it without telling you
that Mrs. McKinley would never have
done so herself. She was so careful to
conceal the good she did."
These verses by Mrs. McKinley reveal
something of that "inner life" to which
reference was made:
Time is the little space
With which men shroud thy face,
Eternity.
Each life or good or ill
Is but a drop to fill
Eternity.
Death means no coming day,
But ever and alway
Eternity.
Thou, Father, Spirit, Son,
With Thee I find alone
Eternity.
ORVIS MORE GREENMAN.
Orvis More Greenman was born October 23, 1859, on the old Greenman Hill
farm in North East Township, Erie
County, Pa., where he lived till the spring
of 1913. He then moved to Edinboro, Pa.,
which was his residence until his death
on October 19, 1938. He was the oldest
son of James and Clarissa More Greenman, and grandson of Jesse B. More, eldest of the children of James More.
Mr. Greenman married Delphenia Waterman on September 12, 1882. She died
February 26, 1925. Six children were
born to them: Claribel, wife of Louie L.
Manross of Edinboro, Pa.; Orrie M., wife
of Donald L. Wright of Fredonia, N. Y.;
Luella, widow of Fred A. Klenck, whose
death occurred May 7, 1939; Glenn, Orvis
C., and Marion of Edinboro, Pa.
Mr. Greenman was a member of the
Washington Valley Christian Church.

MKS. KATE CHAMPLIN BUTTS.
Kate Champlin Butts, daughter of Ellen
More Champlin and great-granddaughter
of James More, died on November 17,
1939, at her home in New York City
after a long illness. She was born June
19, 1858, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In
October, 1883, she was married to William
Matthews Butts, a native of Cleveland,
Ohio. She is survived by her husband
and her daughter, Delight Butts, also by
a sister, Estelle Champlin of New York
City and a niece, Mrs. Delia Champlin
Van Deusen of Claverack, N. Y. Her
son, John Champlin Butts, died in 1935.
The following tribute is from her
daughter's hand:
"My mother was always intensely interested in the More Family Association,
though the first reunion was the only one
she was able to attend. Indeed I might
say I was brought up on the Bible and
the More Family book, and certainly could
repeat the family genealogy better than
those in the Old Testament.
"My mother had a genius for friendship and always was keenly interested
not only in social affairs but in various
types of social work. Back in the nineties
she helped to establish the first diet
kitchen in St. Mark's Hospital in Grand
Rapids and helped in church work in her
own church and in the Congregational
church there. After she moved to Cleveland in 1906 she was active in the work
of the Associated Charities, and in the
World War she was first a volunteer and
then a staff member of the American Red
Cross in its Home Service Department.
She was very proud of the fact that her
work was considered up to the professional standards, and that she had passed
with credit the required examinations for
such work. In fact she was usually sent
to see people in difficult situations that
needed tact and skill in handling.
"My mother graduated from St. Agnes
Episcopal School in Albany, N. Y., in
1876.
She received a scholarship prize
for faithful and successful study—as
Bishop Doane wrote—in astronomy. Afterwards she attended the Art Institute in
Chicago, and did a great deal of china
painting, being a pioneer in painting the
established and conventional patterns instead of the flowers of the amateur china
painter of fifty years ago. A Dolton chocolate set of hers was exhibited at the
World's Fair in Chicago of 1893. I still
have the set. It is a lovely thing and I
wish I could send it up to the Reunion if
there were an exhibit of things done by
members of the family." 622,1.
MRS. MARIE L. MARSH.
Marie Louise (More) Marsh, eldest of
the five children of Dr. James H. and
Vol. 3, No. 10
Harriet Elizabeth (Frisbee) More, died
at her home, Polo, 111., February 9, 1940.
Mrs. Marsh was born February 20, 1859,
in Polo, 111., and was educated at Cornell
College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa. On December
8, 1880, she was married to George C.
Marsh of Sycamore, 111. They lived in
Sycamore for a short time, then moved to
Chicago, where the most of their lives
were spent.
In the fall of 1928 they moved to Polo,
which thereafter was their home. Mr.
Marsh died in 1930. Three sisters survive, all of whom live in Polo: Anne
More, Mrs. Faith More Keller and Pauline More Wetzel.
Mrs. Marsh was a great lover of trees
and had devoted much time to landscape
gardening. In her early years she wrote
articles for the Chicago papers, the Times
and the Inter-Ocean, and was an occasional contributor to the Youth's Companion. She also published two books, Vic—
The Autobiography of a Fox Terrier, and
The Freckled Boy. 621,1.
GEORGE SINCLAIR FITCH.
George Sinclair Fitch, son of George W.
Fitch and Harriet Sinclair, and a greatgrandson of David More, died at the
Tompkins County Memorial Hospital in
Ithaca, N. Y., on May 5, 1940, after having submitted to an operation for the removal of goitre.
He was born in Walton, N. Y., May
12, 1866. In his youth he was trained
in the mercantile business as his father
was associated with the firm of N. Fitch
& Sons, which at that time operated the
largest store in Walton at the corner of
Mead and North Streets. When still a
young man he went to the state of Washington where he was engaged in the banking business for a few years in partnership with the late John P. White. After
his return from the west he became a
member of the firm of Fitch Bros., Seeley
& Co., successors to the firm of N. Fitch
& Sons. Later George C. Seeley withdrew from the firm and the name was
changed to A. S. Fitch & Co.
About 27 years ago George S. Fitch
took over the interests of his partners in
the A. S. Fitch & Company store. Three
years ago he sold the business to the firm
of Baxter & Wood and retired from active
business.
The Walton Reporter, in commenting
on his life, said:
"George S. Fitch was a man who in
his quiet, unobtrusive manner made a
host of friends. Probably there are few
men of our times who are as charitable
toward his fellow men as he was. His
conduct in his business and family life
was exemplary and no one ever heard him
criticize human failings in others. He
July, 1940
OF THE MORE FAMILY
recognized the good in his fellow men
and overlooked the bad.
"His family life was a model of quiet
and peaceful enjoyment of the companionship of those whom he held most dear and
there are few families which have taken
so much pleasure from each other as has
the Fitch family.
"Mr. Fitch had been a member of the
First Congregational church of Walton
for 57 years and at the time of his death
was treasurer of benevolences of that
church and had held many other church
offices during his lifetime."
He married Blanche E. Ells on November 19, 1902, in Brooklyn, N. Y. He is
survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs.
Joseph H. Scarlett of New York City, and
Miss Agnes, at home, two brothers, Dr.
Edward Fitch of Clinton, N. Y., and Roderick Fitch of Walton, N. Y., and a sister,
Mrs. William J. Cranston of Kingston,
N. Y. 743,3.

More and great-grandson of Edward L.
More, died January 7, 1940, in Cheyenne,

partnership with T. J. McGuire. In 1920
he closed his practice there and on account of his health settled in Torrington,
Wyoming, where he formed a partnership
with Erie H. Reid, a prominent lawyer
of Goshen County. On January 1, 1939,
he moved to Cheyenne, where he joined
James A. Greenwood in practice.
Mr. More's death followed an illness of
about three weeks. He had submitted to
a major operation, and while his condition was serious it was not regarded as
critical. He was a member of St. Mark's
Episcopal Church, a member of the Masonic order, and of the Lions Club. At
the funeral services the members of the
Laramie County Bar were present in a
body.

OF THE MORE FAMILY
Personal and Social
American publications have noted the
splendid helpfulness of Mrs. Frank J.
Gould in connection with war work in
France.
Buying and equipping ambulances is chief among her activities. The
reports indicate that she has devoted herself early and late to a vigorous promotion of whatever form of war work that
she undertakes, m 326,6.
Among the passengers who disembarked
at New York on June 9 from the President Roosevelt was Arnold Smith, European representative of the Monsanto
Chemical Company, who had continued at
his post since the war began. His wife,
Elinor Titus Smith, with her four daughters left England when hostilities threatened and have been staying with her
mother, Mrs. Mary Marvin Titus, in Walton, N. Y. m 741,22.
Miss Helen Jane Seacord, daughter of
Rev. Jay Gould Seacord of Livingston,
N. J., was recently graduated from the
Nurses Training School of St. Luke's Hospital in New York. She is now on duty
at the Medical Center. 854,31.
One of the new appointments to the
teaching staff of the Roxbury, N. Y., Central School is that of Clifton J. Tompkins
as teacher of science. He is the son of
Jonas More Tompkins of Ashland, N. Y.,
and after graduation from Wesleyan University took special work at the State
College for Teachers at Albany, N. Y.
5(10)2,21.
Professor Arthur W. Seacord of the
University of Illinois, who was prevented
by the outbreak of war from spending his
year of sabbatical leave in England, has
been working at Yale and Harvard during
the year. This summer he is teaching at
the University of Minnesota. 857,1.
Mrs. Mary Katherine More Guy, formerly of New Castle, Pa., is now living in
Washington, D. C., at 4119 Nebraska Avenue, N. W. She has been for nearly a
year dietitian and house manager at Hillcrest Children's Village, the oldest and
best endowed home for children in the
city. She mentioned Edwin Gould as the
donor of the generous endowment of the
home.
Quite by chance Mrs. Guy met in Washington Mrs. Walter Torrey More, formerly
of Cheyenne, Wyoming, who since her husband's death in January has been spending some time in Washington. 284,1.
Henry R. Washbon of Morris, N. Y.,
reports that on last Christmas eve he and
his sister, Gertrude E. Washbon, held a
centennial celebration of the building of
the family home, "Mapleside," where they
295
both live. Miss Washbon has been a
teacher in the Morris high school for
nearly thirty years. The brother and sister are the only living descendants of
Eliza Smith Washbon, except for an uncle,
Arthur Washbon, now living at an advanced age in Harper, Kansas. 551,51.
Lorimer Boyd More, whose winter address is Daytona Beach, Florida, has a
position with the Great Southern Trucking Company from September to May.
During the summer months he is at Camp
Vermont, on Grand Island, Vermont, in
Lake Champlain. The camp is an attractive place to spend a summer vacation,
where all kinds of sports, including golf,
may be enjoyed. There is a hotel with
dining room, as well as cabins with
screened porches that overlook the lake.
474,41.
Charles K. Ives, M. D., opened his office
for the practice of medicine in Roxbury,
N. Y., last December. Dr. Ives, son of
Attorney Ralph S. and the late Ruth Keator Ives, was graduated from Cornell University in 1932 and from Hahnemann
Medical College in 1938. At Cornell he
was a member of the swimming team for
three years and captain for the last two
years. At Hahnemann he was president
of his class during junior and senior
years. He married Miss Ruth Mary Allaben, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles M.
Allaben of Binghamton, N. Y., on November 28, 1937. They have two daughters. Mrs. Ives is a member of the
More family on her father's and her
mother's side. 542,131.
Travel in Time of War.
James Bolard More, U. S. Consul in
Nigeria, West Africa, wrote from Lagos,
his post of duty, on March 2, expressing
his interest in the coming reunion and indicating that there is only a slight chance
of his presence in this country this summer. He mentioned the visit which he
had received last summer from his mother,
Mrs. Louise Bolard More, whose return
journey, begun on September 2, was subject to all the delays and disturbances
which may happen in time of war.
Mrs. More's lively account of the return,
which turned out to be by way of the
Cape Verde Islands and Panama, appeared
in the Wellesley Magazine for February.
Here are a few entries from the journal
of travel:
"On the afternoon of Friday, September 1, I was packed to leave on the Dutch
ship Amstelkerk, when James came for
lunch and said, 'Poland has been invaded.
War will come.' "
"The Amstelkerk left Lagos Saturday
morning, September 2."
"October 1, the day I expected to reach
New York, we spent in the harbor of
296
Bathurst, Gambia, opposite the pier from
which the Lindberghs started in Listen!
the Wind. The next day we reached Dakar, Senegal, a fine harbor guarded by
two rows of mines, bobbing like buoys."
"On October 20, we left Dakar again,
this time for the Cape Verde Islands."
"We reached Panama the evening of the
second of November."
"Sunday morning, the new Ancon of
the Panama line left for New York, and
after a smooth and delightful trip I awoke
on the morning of November 11 to find
us anchored opposite the Goddess. Never
was I so glad to see her as after ten
weeks at sea."
Chaplain Alva J. Brasted.
During the 3rd Army maneuvers which
were held in the area of the Sabine River
between Louisiana and Texas from May
5 to 25, Colonel Alva J. Brasted was
chaplain of the 3rd Army, having been
Vol. 3, No. 10
appointed to that important post by Colonel William R. Arnold, his successor as
Chief of Army Chaplains. Between these
two men a close friendship has long existed. Colonel Brasted is a Baptist, Colonel Arnold a Roman Catholic. They stand
and work together on a broad platform
of religious principles. The spirit which
animates their activities comes to expression in the closing words of the letter addressed to the approximately 60 chaplains
who participated in the exercises.
"In all things be sincere, earnest, cheerful and considerate. If unavoidably men
see in you as they see in themselves something of nature's weakness, let them also
see a great deal more of what with God's
help they may become.
"Lead men to think of God and to see
the practical wisdom of His law, and you
will develop in their characters all the
basic qualities of loyal citizens, brave soldiers and devoted sons of the Eternal
God."
EVENTS OF THE YEAR
The Gould Mansion.
The New York Times of March 23,
1940, recorded an interesting case of history repeating itself.
"The historic Gould mansion on the
northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and
Forty-seventh Street, used as a hospital
during the Windsor Hotel fire on St. Patrick's day forty-one years ago, figured
similarly but on a smaller scale yesterday
in another spectacular blaze in which
three persons were injured and four rescued.
"The fire, yesterday, which was discovered at 10 A. M. and raged until noon,
destroyed the interior of a five-story
brownstone building at 1 East Fortyseventh Street, shot through the roof and
spread to a gable on the old mansion,
necessitating two alarms.
"All
traffic
through
Forty-seventh
Street, between Madison and Fifth Avenues, was rerouted and that on the latter
thoroughfare impeded as thousands of
Easter shoppers thronged the neighborhood and were thrilled by the rescue of
two men and two women who, trapped
by flames roaring up a stairwell, were led
to safety down ladders.
"As in the Windsor fire, where fortyfive lives were lost, coffee was served to
policemen and firemen in the mansion
while the victims were being treated or
were resting. Finley J. Shepard, financier
and son-in-law of Jay Gould, and his
adopted daughter, Mrs. Harris Gaines, who.
now occupy the house, personally assisted
in the hastily transformed 'hospital.'"
A Mystery Story.
The "Book Review" of the New York
Times for February 4 contained brief reviews of five new mystery stories, one of
which is Murder Bicarb, by Delia Van
Deusen. It is a book of 310 pages and is
published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company.
Readers of the Journal will be interested to know that the author is the
daughter of Frederick M. Champlin and a
granddaughter of Ellen More Champlin
of the James line.
The strange title of the book is in part
explained in the opening sentence of the
Times review: "There is nothing suspicious about the first sudden death in the
Tideshead Home for the Aged excepting
the disappearance of a can of bicarbonate
of soda, and only a few persons know
about that." After a brief summary of
the plot the reviewer says: "The story
is admirably told."
The Saturday Review of Literature of
February 10 in its "Guide to Detective
Fiction" renders the verdict: "Garrulous
but good." The Boston Transcript calls
it: "A Mystery to delight the feminine
heart," and Books terms it "A recommended item."
Mrs. Van Deusen has earlier published
poems in the magazines and has written
short plays for amateur production. Her
publishers have an option on her next two

stories. Murder Bicarb is included in the
Columbia County exhibit in the New York
State Building: at the World's Fair. Mrs.
Van Deusen's home is in Claverack, Columbia County.
Streeter's Hotel.
Streeter's Hotel in the village of Grand
Gorge, N. Y., which was originally Moresville Hotel in the village of Moresville,
was destroyed by fire on March 25, 1940.
This simple statement has a special significance for the members of the More
family for the hotel had a history.
In 1786, when John More made his final
settlement in the place which came to be
called Moresville, now Grand Gorge, he
realized that his home was situated at a
place where several trails converged. The
settlers who came and went needed accommodations. So he built a log structure to
meet the needs of the time and conducted
a hotel in connection with his farm.
In 1817, John More's oldest son, John
Taylor More, succeeded his father in the
possession of the property. In 1834, John
T.'s son, John Laraway More, bought the
hotel and the farm. Fourteen years later
297
the ownership passed to his son, Wilson
P. More, who conducted the hotel until
1853. In that year the property, which
had been in the possession of some member of the More family for four generations, was sold to Samuel Jenkins.
The frame building which took the
place of the original log structure was
built by John Laraway More. On the
foundation in the cellar were carvings as
follows:
Moresville, J. L. More, 1836 A. T. M.
These carvings were supposed to be in
the stone, and Cousin Charles Harley had
arranged to preserve the stone on which
the carvings were made and present it to
the John More Association to be kept as
a relic at the farm.
When the debris was cleared away it
was discovered that the carving was on
the plaster over the stone and that it had
already begun to crumble. Cousin Richard More Simonson of Grand Gorge very
thoughtfully and generously had a professional photographer take and develop a
picture of the carvings and has presented
it to the John More Association.
298
Beaverdam.
A writer in the Oneonta Star of February 29, 1940, dealt with some part of
the early history of the village and township of Roxbury with special relation to
the early name "Beaverdam." The following paragraphs have a special interest
for the readers of the Journal:
"The village of Roxbury was first
known as Beaverdam, although it is said
the town was always called Roxbury.
The site of the present village received
the name Beaverdam because of the abundance of beavers in the locality. They
had built a fairly large dam in the Delaware river just below the present village
site.
"Roxbury's first settler was Israel Inman, who came here in 1788 to trap beavers. A year later, about 20 families of
'land lookers' came into Delaware County
from Fairfield County, Conn. Most of
them settled in the vicinity of Stamford,
which received its name from Stamford,
Conn. Three men looking for lost horses
were entertained by Inman, who had
found the horses, and the men liked this
vicinity so well they and their families
settled with two other families at the
portion of town now called West Settlement.
"The post office of Roxbury was established in 1806, with Abraham Gold the
first postmaster. It is thought that the
post office was called Roxbury, but it was
also known as Beaverdam, and mail addressed to Beaverdam was received here
until well within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. Nobody knows where the
name Roxbury originated, the most plausible theory being that it was named from
Roxbury, Conn., as practically all the first
settlers came from Connecticut.
"First Settler John More.
"The first settler, though, in the Town
of Roxbury was not Inman, but John
More and his wife Betty Taylor More,
intrepid Scotch pioneers, who came to the
Vol. 3, No. 10
vicinity of Grand Gorge in 1786. That
community was known as Moresville until
well within present memory. About 1870,
when the railroad was built, it was
changed to Grand Gorge, as there were
maiv> other post offices in New York with
names similar to Moresville and Grand
Gorge was appropriate because of the
gorge on the Roxbury road, which is
really 'grand.'
"The name of More is connected prominently with Roxbury history.
Many
Mores lived in both the Grand Gorge and
Roxbury ends of town. The school district of More Settlement north of this
village is the only surviving locality
name. It is here that one of the first
dwelling houses of the community stands,
the old John More house, built of stone.
Badly damaged by fire, it was afterward
restored and purchased by the John More
As;ociation. The family of W. J. Lutz
i.ow occupies the farm.
"The Town of Roxbury at one time
had five post offices, Roxbury, Grand
Gorge, Vega, Denver and Bedell. It still
has the first four, but the Bedell post
office is now in the Town of Middletown,
a short distance below the town line, due
to a change in postmasters' residences."
One paragraph in the article needs revision:
"The entire section of Vega and Denver was once known as Bataviakill. 'Kill,'
of course, was the old Dutch word for
stream.
Batavia is unknown, but it
sour.ds like an Indian name."
Kill is Dutch, and so is Batavia.
When Julius Caesar conquered northwestern Europe he found "Batavians" living
just where the Dutch now live. Batavia
is still used as the Latin name for Holland, and the Dutch in the seventeenth
century of our era named the capital of
their East Indian possessions Batavia.
The Dutch brought the name to Delaware
County, too, along with kill. The early
pronunciation, "Batawvy," witnesses to
its foreign origin.

OF THE MORE FAMILY

GENEALOGICAL RECORD
The following items concerning the members of the family are numbered according to the system used in the Permanent
Record. This system is explained in the
Journal for November, 1935, page 126.
The same explanation is prefixed to the
list of those in attendance at the reunions
of 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925 and 1930. See
Journals for 1912, 1916, 1921, 1925, 1930.
A good way to master the system is to
read your own number backwards. For
example: the number of our president,
Taylor More, is 112,7. That means that
he is the seventh child of the second child
(Taylor), of the first child (John L.), of
the first child (John T.), of John and
Betty Taylor More.

writes: "I hardly know what to say. He
was granted a leave of absence to go

left before the message informing him
of his father's death reached him, intending w surprise his father and mother.
He reached home and rushed into the
front door only to see his father in the
casket. You can imagine the shock he
received. fchortly after that he disappeared and as far as I know no trace
of him has ever been found. Just what
happened is only a guess. I tried to locate some clue through Masonic connections but none was ever found."
