General Notes: Biography on Gertrude Louise Braunwalder by son Dale:

The only native Californian among the six-member Braunwalder family, Louise was born in Los Angeles April 18, 1908. During her younger years she lived in such far-ranging cities as Chicago, Birmingham, Ala., Los Angeles, and Hollywood as her father, John, had work assignments in different cities in his field of structural engineering. She was named Gertrude Louise after her maternal aunt, Gertrude, and her paternal step-grandmother Louisa. A graduate of Hollywood High School in 1925, Louise went on to earn a Bachelor of Education degree - along with junior high and elementary school teaching credentials - from the University of California in 1930. After graduation, she taught children of migrant workers in the Magnolia District rural school in Brawley, Calif., for a year until her marriage and later did substitute teaching at the Mayo elementary school that her children attended in Compton, Calif. Louise was married to Claude W. May in a ceremony at her parent's home in Los Angeles on Sept. 12, 1931. They had two children - Walder, in 1934, and Dale, in 1936. Much of Louise's activities centered around her children, as she served as president of a school PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) and cub scouting den mother (pack 606 in Compton). During World War 11 she was active in USO (United Service Organizations), which arranges recreational activities for members of the armed forces, and served as Victory Garden chairwoman for the city of Compton, Calif. Gardening became one of her favorite hobbies, as was painting, decorating, and arranging flowers. She frequently did holiday and special-event table decorations for such community groups as Pathfinder Women's Club that she was active in and Kiwanis, that Claude was active in. She taught flower arranging and gave demonstrations, growing and harvesting many of the flowers used. Square dancing was another hobby, and she and Claude formed a life-long bond with several other "Whirlers" who enjoyed this recreation and provided music and arranged for callers. Sewing has been another of Louise's hobbies, making many of her family's clothes. She learned the basics from her mother, Helen (Nelle), who was a seamstress for motion picture costume design for many years during Hollywood's early heyday. During her college years, Louise assisted in costume production. She laughs about the time she was called on to urgently sew buttons on many thick military uniforms that were to be used in a battle film. "I sewed them well so they wouldn't come off, but they were also on so tight that the cast members wouldn't be able to button their uniforms! This had to be remedied quickly, and fortunately Mother covered for me." Louise and Claude lived in Compton for many years while Claude was manager of the Bank of America there. In 1970, seven years after his retirement, they moved to El Toro, Calif., where Louise continued to live after Claude's 1982 death. The year before Claude died, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a family trip to Hawaii. Louise's interest in ham radio led to a special friendship with Harry Siler after he had lost his wife, Roberta - Louise's cousin - from cancer in 1985. Louise and Harry subsequently married Nov. 11,1986 and spent a good life together at Lake Almanor and Chico, Calif., until Harry's sudden death from cancer May 7, 1997. Following that, Louise moved to St. George, Utah, where she lives in a home she had built near that of son, Walder, and family. She has continued active in P.E.O. sisterhood, a philanthropic and educational organization that promotes educational opportunities for women, having joined the Long Beach, Calif., chapter in 1952. She was recognized for 50 years of service to that organization in 2002.

Gertrude married Claude William MAY, son of Charles Rudolph MAY and Clara HERBIG, on 12 Sep 1931 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Cal. Claude was born on 11 Feb 1898 in Marquette, Hamilton, Nebraska, died on 6 Nov 1982 in El Toro, Orange, California at age 84, and was buried on 9 Nov 1982 in Fairhaven Memorial Park, Santa Ana, Orange, California.

i. Walder Charles MAY was born on 20 Oct 1934 in Orange, Orange, California.

ii. Dale Edward MAY was born on 4 Oct 1936 in Compton, Los Angeles, California.

Gertrude next married Harry Cornelius SILER III, son of Harry C. SILER II and Carrie B. HEID, on 11 Nov 1986 in St.George, Washington, UT. Harry was born on 11 Aug 1915 in Glenfield, PA, died on 7 May 1997 in Chico, California at age 81, and was buried on 14 May 1997 in Chester Cemetery, Lassen, California.

Second Generation

2. Johann "John" BRAUNWALDER, son of Johann Jacob BRAUNWALDER and Regula Seline EGLI, was born on 2 Nov 1872 in Arbon, Thurgau, Switzerland, died on 14 Feb 1950 in Glendale, Los Angeles, California at age 77, and was buried on 17 Feb 1950 in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Glendale, Los Angeles, California.

General Notes: Genealogy/Biographical sketch on:
JOHN BRAUNWALDER
By Dale E. May, grandson, April 2002 (updated March 2004)

Born in Arbon, Switzerland, November 2, 1872 of Swiss parents, Johann Jacob and Regula Braunwalder, Johann (John) Braunwalder came to the United States in the winter of 1883 as a 10-year-old, accompanied by his brother, Isaak Adolf, almost 8. The two Swiss boys had lost their mother from typhoid fever, and their father had already emigrated to the United States about two years earlier with the two youngest children, Barbara Selina and Karl (Charles), settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
After the father, Jacob, had married a Swiss woman, Louisa Graf, in Wisconsin, he sent for the two older children, John and Adolf, who were in an orphanage in Wattwil. Of seven children in the Braunwalder family, one daughter (Anna Selina) had died about a month after birth and one son (Niklaus Karl) had died at 1 year of age. The other five children had been placed in the orphanage in 1880 because of Regula's and Jacob's typhoid fever illnesses while they lived in the Gieselbach community of Ebnat-Kappel, a village south of Wattwil. Regula died of typhoid July 9, 1880, while only 30. John, himself, also had typhoid, but recovered, as did his father. But Jacob and Regula's first child -- Johann Jacob -- died while almost 10 of typhoid after being in the orphanage with the other four children.
It is clear from records of the Wattwil municipal council that the father, Jacob -- a master mechanic -- had difficulty meeting medical and other expenses because of the typhoid fever outbreak that so affected members of his family. One item in the council indicated that Jacob's father, Christian, who lived in the Horben community of Ebnat-Kappel, was asked if he could help pay some of the expenses.
The municipal council records indicate that Jacob -- once finally living in good circumstances in Milwaukee -- asked in a letter, dated November 27, 1882, for permission to have his two eldest children, John and Adolf, sent to him from the Wattwil orphanage. The last entry in the council record, the day after Christmas 1882, showed he had received permission and had sent traveling expenses to a Basel agency.
John and Adolf sailed to New York out of the port at Le Havre, France, on a three-masted French Line steamship, the S.S. Labrador. They arrived in New York on Abraham Lincoln's birthday February 12, 1883.
The ship, when built in 1865, was an iron side two-masted, paddlewheel steamer-sailer with the name, "Nouveau Monde." It made most of its voyages from St. Nazaire, France, to the West Indies, booking most of its 211 passengers in first class. When renamed the S.S. Labrador in 1875, it had been lengthened from 346 to 394 feet with an added mast and was converted to single-screw propulsion. It was refurbished to become an emigrant carrier, and accommodated many more passengers, likely in dormitory-type accommodation.
The Labrador was "full to the hatches" with passengers when John and Adolf journeyed to America. John, carrying just one bag for his own and Adolf's belongings, is listed on the passenger roster as number 369 of a total of 629 passengers on the voyage. Adolf, listed as "Isaac," is number 370.
The ship sailed out of Le Havre at 7:30 on a Sunday morning, January 28, 1883, according to a cable listing in the New York Times two days later. The voyage to New York took 16 days. Ted Finch, an emigrant steamship expert in Norfolk, England, said both sail and steam would have been used to conserve coal bunkers. "The less coal loaded, the more passengers, and it was not unusual for ships of this era to run out of coal and finish the voyage under sail!" Finch said the use of sail decreased as engines became more efficient, and was only used in emergency.
Once in New York, John and Adolf made their way to Wisconsin and joined the rest of their family and new mother, Louisa, a former Swiss family governess from Rebstein, Switzerland. In December 1884, Louisa gave birth to one son, Jacob -- later addressed as "Uncle Jake" by John's daughter, Louise, who was named after Louisa. The family then moved, probably in the spring of 1885, from Milwaukee to a farm in Athens in Marathon County, Wisconsin. The father, Jacob, is said to have lived on the farm until 1912, after Louisa's death at 69 on April 13 of that year.
A "John Braunwalder" is listed in an Athens officials index as a Town of Halsey chairman in 1900, and a "Jacob Braunwalder" is shown as being in that same post the following year.
During his younger years, John worked in a lumber mill in Wisconsin and was taking a correspondence course in engineering and drafting.
On one application (the Knights of the Maccabees of the World -- Hennepin Tent No. 73) dated June 18, 1898, John listed his residence as Davenport, Iowa (419 E. Sixth), and indicated he was about to be married to Helen McIntosh. On this same application, he showed his occupation as "stationary engineer" and his birthplace as Arbon in Switzerland. (As of March 2004, no birth certificate has been located to verify the Arbon birthplace.)
Other papers show he was a resident of Davenport as of August 27, 1900, and September 12, 1900. If he was a town chairman in Athens during 1900, he would have had to live at both places during that year, which is possible, but not confirmed.
On October 5, 1901, he married Helen Mabel (Nelle) McIntosh of Goodland (Newton County) Indiana. Helen was of Scotch (McIntosh) and English (Waterman) descent. She had been working in Chicago for a milliner and had become so skilled in her work that her employer planned to send her to Paris as a buyer of the latest fashions. But she decided on marriage instead.
After marriage in Goodland, Indiana, the pair was on the move for several years in John's efforts to find work in his field of structural engineering. They lived in such diverse places as Chicago, Birmingham, and Los Angeles. They had four children as they moved about the country -- John Robert Braunwalder (he later changed his name to Robert B. Walder), born in Chicago August 20, 1902; Helen Virginia, born in Chicago December 7, 1903; Gertrude Louise, born in Los Angeles April 18, 1908; and Phyllis Orr Braunwalder, born in Chicago October 29, 1913. The Braunwalder family residence in Chicago was at 4117 Northwestern Avenue. One photo of the family shows them in front of that house a year or so before daughter Phyllis was born.
John's early work involved, in particular, the design of structures for buildings and bridges. When the family settled on California as a choice of places to live, he had to return to Chicago for work because larger buildings were being built there than they were in earthquake-prone Los Angeles. Daughter Louise recalls that he was proudest of the steel girder he designed for the Chicago opera house, one of the largest ever at that time.
Nelle - as she was known by family members and by co-workers -- helped support the family by working as a seamstress for many years in the early motion picture industry. She was first at MGM, then at Western Costume Co. in Los Angeles (now in North Hollywood), and finally at United Costume Co. when several employees of "Western" formed that company. Western and United provided costumes for the film studios. Nelle's little black book noted her own hand-written measurements for the stars of that era, including Shirley Temple, Irene Dunne, John Wayne, Katherine MacDonald, Wallace Beery, his nephew Noah Beery Jr., Ronald Colman, Tyrone Power, Francis Dee, and many others. Once she had tea with Mary Pickford at her "Pickfair" estate while measuring her for a gown.
During some periods, Nelle continued working in costume production for the Hollywood film studios while John was working in structural engineering design in Chicago. Daughter Louise recalls that at one point her father got a job to design a building structure in Birmingham, Ala., which prompted them to move to that Deep South city. They continued living in Birmingham from about 1918, when she was 10, until 1920, when she was 12. An educational certificate from the state of Illinois, dated July 9, 1920, was sent to John at 1031 - 15th Ave. South, in Birmingham, so apparently that was their address.
Louise also recalls that when her father, John, was no longer able to continue his structural engineer position with the steel mill in Birmingham, they journeyed back out west to California in a seven-passenger automobile with side curtains that snapped on, camping out along the way to save expenses. Robert, about 18, did most of the driving. Once there, they lived with relatives in several places in Kenwood and Hollywood (with Nelle's sister -- Louise's "Aunt Gertie" (Gertrude McIntosh) for a time in an apartment; with Nelle's other sister -- Louise's "Aunt Gladys" and husband, "Uncle Bert" (Byron Morgan Sr., noted Hollywood author and screenwriter); and in an army-type tent on a platform next door to Nelle's brother -- Louise's "Uncle Rob" (Robert Burns McIntosh). Later, they moved to another house near the home of Rob McIntosh and his wife, Elise, and also lived about two years in Redondo Beach until 1924, when daughter Virginia graduated from Redondo Beach High School there. Eventually, they settled into a two-story Swiss-chalet-type home on a hillside at 1346 Waterloo Street in Los Angeles. Daughter Louise and her husband, Claude, were wed at that home in September 1931.
Once back in Los Angeles, John concentrated on various inventions, including design of automobiles and internal combustion engines for autos and aircraft. One of his experimental aircraft engine designs, the Rheem S-10 -- an in-line type engine to reduce drag-producing frontal area so planes can move as fast and efficiently as possible -- is on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona. His machinery designs included everything from typesetting machines to ones that chopped food and that packaged sliced cheese.
Patents he obtained show his address to be 1346 Waterloo St., on January 30, 1929; July 1, 1931; and April 4, 1933. One patent, filed June 16, 1930, shows his address then to be the Hotel Alexandria at the southwest corner of Rush and Ohio Streets in Chicago (when Nelle remained at the family home in Los Angeles), and a letter he sent daughter Louise upon her graduation from U.C.L.A. in June 1930 was sent to her from that Chicago address. Still other patents show Glendale, Calif. addresses, such as one filed April 30, 1945, when he and Nelle lived with their daughter Virginia and her husband Bob (John Robert Feeney) and family at 509 Cumberland Road in Glendale, California -- also several dated
between September 25, 1945, and August 15, 1949, when they had their last home together at 1344 Winchester Ave., in Glendale.
John died on February 14, 1950. He was 77. His wife Nelle then moved to Compton, California, where she resided at 1006 Kay Street with her daughter Louise and husband, Claude, and family until her death at 79 on April 27, 1957. They are both buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.

LIKELY LOCATIONS OF JOHN BRAUNWALDER DURING U.S. CENSUSES:

1880 - Still in Switzerland.

1890 - In Athens, Wis. (Wisconsin records of U.S. census for this year were burned in 1921 fire).

1900 - Resided in Davenport, Iowa (419 E. Sixth), during Aug. and Sept. this year according to records, where he also lived in June 1898 (Maccabees application). May also have lived in Athens earlier in the year because is listed as town chairman during 1900. Located census for Wisconsin (Vol. 39, ED 80, sheet 1, line 20), which shows family in Athens: father Jacob, mother Louisa, brother Adolf -- all born in Switzerland, and half-brother, Jacob, born in Athens. John was not in household at that time. John may also have lived in Chicago during year.

1910 - Possibly living in L.A. Daughter Louise was born there in 1908. But may have been living in Chicago during the census, because daughter Louise says she went back to Chicago, when she was 2. (Was at 4117 Northwestern Ave., Chicago, when Braunwalder family photo was taken--Louise was about 3 and Phyllis not yet born. Framed photo is on Louise's wall showing house and family with wife Helen's father, William McIntosh).

1920 - (Most of census apparently done in January). May have been living in Birmingham at the time or enroute to L.A., or in L.A. with relatives. Daughter Louise recalls the auto trip to L.A. was made about May or June 1920, and they camped between the Mississippi River and California.

1930 - (This census being released April 1, 2002). Was in Los Angeles, Calif., 1346 Waterloo St.

1940 - In Glendale, Calif., probably in household of John Robert Feeney, at 509 Cumberland Rd.

1950 - Died Feb. 14, 1950, before census. Had been living in Glendale, Calif., at 1344 Winchester Ave. After John's death, wife Helen moved to household of Claude and Louise May family at 1006 Kay St., Compton, Calif.

General Notes: MY GRANDMOTHER MCINTOSH- 1829-1913

By Maude McIntosh Major
September, 1980

My Grandmother lived in her later years with my Aunt Addie, Burton Berry's gradmother. Several times a year she came to visit us and helped my mother make my clothes. I loved her visits because she often told stories of her youth. She was born in Inverness, Scotland on April 12, 1829 and named Elizabeth Richards Orr, but called Eliza. She lived in a large castle type house, called Rose Hall, which was later used for a boys school. She attended a private school as there were no public schools at that time. There must have been servants in the household, for once when I was enjoying a stick of gum (a rare treat), she told me that in Scotland only the servant girls chewed gum. My admiration for my grandmother was so great, from that time on I enjoyed that vice in private. Grandmother came to the United States when she was twelve years old. I don't recall how or with whom, but my father often mentioned her brother, his Uncle William Orr. She had a sister married to an attorney and living in Chicago and also mentioned a brother who was last heard from in Rio de Janiero in his youth and was presumed dead. Until she was seventeen years old she was next in line to inherit the first Amber necklace in the British Isles. At that time another Elizabeth Richards Orr, who was chosen in blood line, was born. I can only imagine how disappointed Grandmother must have been. On November 6, 1848 she married George McIntosh, who came from a large family, part of whom were born in Scotland and part in Nova Scotia. They soon went to Michigan to live in what is now Grand Rapids County. There they cut logs and floated them down the rivers with the help of several employees, called lumberjacks. It was a hard life. Grandmother did all the cooking for the lumberjacks with help of an Indian girl. Every Saturday night a barrel of flour was rolled into camp to be used for baking the week's supply of bread. When the lumberjacks' clothes were worn out she had to make new ones for them. She went to bed at midnight and had to get up at four o'clock each morning to prepare breakfast for the men. On one occasion when she arose she found a drunk Indian sleeping by the warm fireplace. During these busy months she gave birth to her first child, William, called "Billy". He was the first white child born in Grand Rapids County. My father, George, was their second child. When he was a year old, the little family went down the Mississippi River to New Orleans where they boarded a sailing vessel going around South America and up the West Coast to Oregon. They settled at or near Eugene, where my grandfather engaged in the lumber business again. They were successful, but Grandfather's wanderlust urged him to make a change. He sold out to his partner who later became a millionaire. While in Oregon the third child was born: Adelaide, my Aunt Addie and Burton Berry's grandmother. I believe there were only three children when they came back by way of the Isthmus of Panama to New Orleans. I wish I could remember more of the details of the trip. I do remember that there were no landing facilities where they left the boat. The natives came out and carried them and their luggage to shore. The trip across the Isthmus must have been rough in a wagon. They made their way to New Orleans. How long they were there and how long it took them to reach Indiana and Illinois, I don't know. I rember my father saying my grandfather bought property in several states and later let it all go for taxes. I don't know in what state of states Isabel, Johnny and Angus were born. My grandfather was injured in an accident and died a few months later, March 28, 1877. At that time the oldest child, Billy, was grown and had become a very fine railroad engineer. Addie, (Burton Berry's grandmother) married Alex Yost, an energetic man of Dutch descent. They acquired farms in Benton County's rich farm land, which Burton still owns. Isabel graduated from Valparaiso University and later taught school. AJohnny, the only redhead in the family, was killed by an "unloaded" gun at the age of twenty-three. Angus, the youngest, became a railroad engineer. When the family was grown, Grandma, George, Isabel and a cousin, John McLeod, took up claims in South Dakota. All four claims were in one section of land. they built a home in the middle of the section, so each could live on his own land, as was required by law. It took four years to prove up on a claim. At the end of that time, my father, George, bought out the others and remained in South Dakota for several years. Grandma went back to Indiana to live newr Addie. Later when Addie was widowed, she moved in with her and her two daughters, Jessie and Mabel. Jessie, a school teacher, married Judge Burton B. Berry. They had two children, Burton and Adelaide. Burton went into tahe diplomatic service and lived in Europe until his retirement. He now lives in San Diego. Adelaide was a teacher of French at Northwestern University, until her early death following an automobile accident. neither had children. After Addie's death in 1912, Mabel and Grandma lived alone in the big house until Grandma's death, a few months after Addie passed away. Then Mabel married Drewry Kassebaum, a Purdue graduate. They lived in Detroit until Mabel's death. They had no children. After Mabel's death, Drewry moved back to Fowler, where he looked after Jessie, Mabel and Burton's farms until his recent death-- after Burton's retirement. William, the eldest son, married Virginia Waterman and had nine children. Walter died in infancy and Bessie died when quite young. The others were John, Robert, William, Gertrude, Helen, Kenneth and Gladys. All were born in Indiana but moved to California over the years. John and Will never married. Robert married Elsie Duffet. They had four daughters:June, Virginia,Roberta and Maaaary. All are still living. Gertrude (Gertie) became a nurse and loved looking after everyone. She never married, but was instrumental in keeping the family in touch, promoting parties and "get togethers". She lived to be eighty eight. Helen (Nell) married John Braunwalder, a Swiss engineer, and had four lovely children. They were very special to me as they ;were living in Chicago when I was attending the University there, and they came each summer to visit us in Indiana when the children were small. They also came to California a few years alater after we had moved there. They were Robert, Virginia, Louise and Phyllis. All but Robert are still living in 1980. Isabel, the fourth child, after selling her claim to her brother, George, went to California to teach school and later married Firman Vorce. They lived in the Fresno area for several years until their retirement when they moved to the Los Angeles area. Their children were Raymond, Inez and Leland. Raymond and his wife owned an automobile agency in Glendale. He died of a heart condition. There were no children. Leland died at about forty, also of a heart condition probably caused by insisting on going to San Francisco to see the U.S. Fleet coming through the Golden Gate, when he was coming down with scarlet fever. At that time Isabel and her family were living in San Jose and George, Flora and their children maude, asge 14 and Blye, age 12, were spending a year in California and were visiting them. We all--both families--took a picnic lunch and an early train to San Francisco. We took a street car to Telegraph Hill, which in 1908 was a high, barren hill with some telegraph equipment. It was rugged walking and Leland, who was sicker than he thought, had to be carried alternately by his father, my father and Raymond, who was about seventeen. He later came down with scarlet fever, as did Inez and Ray. When the doctor diagonosed Leland's illness as scarlet fever, he told us to leave at once or be quarantined. Blye had a very light case several years earlier when our hired girl became very sick with the disease. I did not get it from either exposure. At that time Grandma was in Indiana but later joined us and was with us on the return trip to Indiana, by way of Canada. Inez, being very talented, became a wardrobe mistress for Metro- Goldwin-Mayer, working for the studio for many years. She was married to William Schrodt; there were no children. She died in her seventies while on a trip to Tahiti with a group of artists. Angus, the youngest son of Grandma McIntosh, became a railroad engineer. He and his wife, Clare, lived in Oklahoma. They had three children. Jay, the oldest, graduated from Purdue with Ray Major, my husband, and became a successful engineer in Detroit. He did not keep in touch with the family. Mabel, Addie's daughter, married a Purdue graduate who later became an engineer for A.T.&T. living in Detroit at the time, she did make an effort to keep in touch. Their second son, Carrol, died when young and I don't recall anything about the third son. George, the second son, married in his youth to Jennie Mimmo. They had one son, Wallace. His wife died soon afterward with "quick consumption" now called tuberculosis. Grandma raised Wallace, a small, sickly child until he was fourteen. George then marriecd Flora Stevens. They had two children, Maude and Blye. They lived in Indiana mostly, with the exception of a year spent in California, when the children were twelve and fourteen. Grandma joined them in California and returned with them to Indiana. After Maude's marriage in 1915 to Ray Major, a chemical engineer from Purdue, George, Flora and Blye went back to California to make their home. Grandma had passed away the year before. They lived in Riverside and later in San Diego until their deaths; George in 1931 and Flora in 1954. Blye married Mildred House. They had one son, Bobby, who died of diabetes at the age of thirteen. Maude and Ray Major had two soons, George and Donald. George has three children, Michael, Stephen and Christine. He is now retired and living in San Diego. Don also lives in San Diego and is engaged in business there. He has one son, Tom. When I was a little girl, Grandma was living with Aunt Addie, Jessie and Mabel in a lovely big house in Fowler, Indiana, on a paved street--paved with bricks. I can still remember the delightful sound of Ned's hoofs on the pavement as he pulled the rubber tired buggy! I was accustomed to steel rimmed wheels on gravel roads.There was a big circular driveway in a beautiful lawn with trees, leading to the barn. A long, prolific grape arbor led from the barn to the house--beautiful in Autumn with heavy, frangrant purple Concord grapes. That is one of my earliest memories.
The cherry tree in the service yard was laden with fruit and Robin Red Breasts each spring. At other times of the year, it was a temptation to climb. Little girls were not supposed to climb trees, so I didn't--at least not that one. The house was the most elegant I can remember, with its big open stairway with polished balustrade--another temtation to a tomboy trying to be a lady. I spent my first week at Aunt Addies when I was two and a half years old and one week each summer until I was grown. There were electric lights, a furnace and a telephone. )At home we used coal oil lamps and a base burner for heat--and I'd never heard of a telephone!) There was a large bathroom with the first bathtub in Fowler--made of pounded zinc. The dining room had a "side board" with a silver tea set. The cream pitcher must have held a pint of cream and was used daily. In those days nearly everyone had a Jersey cow in the back pasture, or had a neighbor who had one. The house had a parlor, of course, but the room they used the most was the "sitting room", with its big bay window overlooking the lawns and driveway. It had comfortable rocking chairs and a secretary desk with books above. Grandma fitted in beautifully in the elegant surroundings. By two o'clock every afternoon she was always dressed in a black silk dress--long, of course--with a dainty white apron, often dimity and always decorated with handmade lace.a She sat as upright as her tired shoulders permitted, with her feet planted firmly on the floor. No footstool for her! Although her swollen ankles and vericose veins would have benefited from the elevation. She was very fair skinned with hair a dark honey color, parted in the center and combed into a bun at the back. At eighty she was just getting a few gray hairs around her ears. she read a great deal...said she read Dickens' books as fast as they came out. She also sewed beautifully and made "batenburg lace". I have an exquisite linen handkerchief she made with a fine hemstitched hem and wide, delicate batenburg lace. She had to give up these interests in her last years because of failing eye sight. Grandma was refined and soft spoken. I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone. She always aimed to adjust to any situation or condition. She ate her breakfast egg from an egg cup. If she found it too hard, she softened it with butter; if it was too soft, she hardened it with butter. She was always punctual--ready and waiting. Just once did she miss a train. She was devastated over it, until she learned the train was wrecked in Kansas. The car in which she had reservations was telescoped between two other cars, killing or injuring most of the passengers. She saw the hand of God in that. When I was ready to go to college, I chose the University of Chicago because an older sister of my friend went there and told me about the delights of the big city. My parents had selected the University of Indiana, of course, and finally would have settled for any of Indiana's many colleges. Our Presbyterian minister spent an afternoon trying to prevent me from going to a university that had been built with "tainted money". (It was endowd by John D. Rockefeller.) So it was finally agreed that since Grandma wanted to spend the winter in Chicago, I could live with her off campus. I really got to know and appreciate her many fine qualities in those months. She was eighty-two at the time, had a bad heart and didn't walk well, but never complained. I remember once she wanted to go downtown to do some shopping--Chicago streets were crowded and Grandma was very slow. A young man in a hurry attempted to push her out of his way, but Grandma brought her elbos againsh his chest forcefully! It didn't bother the young man, of course, but it delighted me to see her bright eyes when she told me about the incident. Another day I took her on the Elevated to spend the day with her younger sister and neice who lived in North Chicago. She wasn't really very close to her sister, but looked forward to spending the day with her. That year Grand Rapids County, Michigan, held their Centennial. Grandma was invited to attend and to sit at the governors right hand at the fietivities because she was the mother of the first white child to be born in Grand Rapids County. Grandma was unable to go, so they asked her to write the story of her experiences. I wrote the story for her and it was published in the Grand Rapids newspaper--a copy was sent to her. Aunt Addie passed away while Grandma and I were in Chicago. When the school terlm was over she went back to Fowler to live with Mabel, who was alone after her mother's death. The following year she planned to go to California again to be with Isabel. My family and I had gone to visit her on Sunday, to tell her good-bye. Her reservations were for the following Tuesday. On Monday morning at six o'clock, Mabel telephoned to tell us Grandma had passed away. How wonderful that she left while anticipating another wonderful trip and that she went quickly without an illness--at age 84. A just reward for a beautiful life.

General Notes: from a ledger book written Feb. 7, 1881 by Tina McLeod
WILLIAM MCINTOSH-Grand-father's Family
William McIntosh, a native of Southerland-Shire, Scotland was born about the year 1760; died Apr.27, 1830 aged 70. "His wife" Christy Murray was also a native of Southerlandshire Scotland and was born in the year 1761; died June 27, 1823 aged 63. According to tradition they were married in the year 1785, he being twenty five and his wife twenty four. They lived happily (as we will suppose) at their home in Southerlandshire for eleven years, then in the fall of 1796 set sail for America with a family of six children and many other friends and relatives. Amid all their difficulties they finally determined to settle in a lovely little valley just eight miles from the town of Pictou (Nova Scotia). Its grandeur is beyond my description still I may say a word or two. On one side are the high and beautiful mountains of Fitch Patrick from the summit of which you can look over this valley of Scotsburn and into the distance for many miles. Right at the foot of this mountain lies your Grandfather's farm and home- one of the prettiest places in the whole valley with its crystal stream passing among the tall and graceful willows that line the bank opposite the entire front of the house, which is a neat little cottage consisting of five rooms in which we well know the many who long since have passed away spent a joyful childhood. On the other side of the valley is a gentle hill some two or three miles long called Hardwood hill on account of its hardwood timber; on this hill settled the McLeod and Murray families all of which afterwards became connected through marriage. In our little valley stands a quaint old building with its high walls and round windows where every Sabbath those families met after building it. This building still stands but does not look as it used to having been repaired: nor is it lined with the old and familiar faces; they have all passed away and few there be remaining who can tell of its first dedication to the Almighty. We behold those scenes of 1796 only in imagination. We will now return to the year 1796 when the axe and hoe were first used on the old home, and the father and mother with six children settled on the bank of the crystal stream not to enjoy the privilege of a mansion but a log cabin surrounded by clusters of native trees. Years passed and the little farm flourished, the cot was exchanged for something new and the brilliant young faces numbered eleven. They worked and toiled for their parents dear until one by one each left to fill the sphere in life deemed best for self.
- William McIntosh emigrated from Rogart Parish, Sutherland Co., Scotland to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1803. The name of the ship is unknown, but only 4 ships left the highlands that year and the best possibility is the ship Favorite. His wife Christy and several children came.

General Notes: MOY HALL

Moy Hall where the prince of Wales has been spending a week, as the principal member of the shooting party organized in his honor by MacIntosh, is the home of the chief of the clan of MacIntosh; MacIntosh who is the twenty-fifth chief of his line was born I believe on this side of the Atlantic, his grandfather having been a member of the legislative council or Canada. Moy Hall is a grand old place, where Prince Charles Stuart the young Pretender sought refuge after his defeat at Culloden in 1746. Intending his capturesd, Lord Loudoun set out in Inverness at the head of a detachment of royal troops. But the young prince got clear away by the stratagen of the lord's wife. She instructed one of her retainers by the name of Fraser to collect all the available local men, and to post them in groups about the ap0proach to Moy hall. Lord Laudoun was led by this to imagine that the highlanders were present in considerable strength, and, fearing to risk and engagement with his small force, marched his men back to Inverness. Only two of the chieftains' predecessors were titled. Sir Lchlan was knighted by King James VI, while Aeneas, twenty third chief, had a baronetcy, now extinct, conferred upon him by King George III. Moy hall is said to have come into possession of William seventh chief of MacIntosh, in the year 1336, by gift from David bishop of Murray, and has been in possession of the MacIntoshes ever since. -that is to say, for nearly six hundred years. William fifteenth chief of MacIntosh was treacherously beheaded by the countess of Huntley while on a friendly visit to Huntley castle in 1550, the cook's hatchet being used for his decapitation. It is wrong to prefix the word "the" to the name of MacIntosh, who, by the tye, is lord lieutenant of Invernesshire. Strickly speaking, the chief of the clan of Chisholm is the only Scottish chieftainm, who is entitled to the prefix of "the", and it was proud boast of the members of this clan in ancient days that there were but three persons in the world entitled to the prefix of "the" - namely, the king, the pope, and the Chisholm.

MAC INTOSH
____________
No one questions that, this is a branch of the MacDuffs, Thanes, and Earls of Fife. Tosch in Irish (from Tus, i.e.,first or chief) signified Thane, and MaacIntosh is the Thane's son. (1) Shaw MaacDuff, second son of Duncan, 5th Earl of Fife, who died about 1154, is said to have had a command in the army of Malcolm IV, against the Moravienses about 1160, and that upon quelling that rebellion, the King made him Governor of Inverness, and granted him some lands near to it. This is highly probable; for when Prince Henry, only son of King David I., died about 1152 and the King declared Malcolm the son of Henry successor to the Crown, he committed him to the foresaid Duncan Earl of Fife, to bring him through all the countries, and to have him proclaimed in all the burgs, heir of the Crown (Chron. Melors.). In this tour Shaw MacDuff accompanied his father, and got into the favor of the young prince, who afterwards preferred him as said is. Shaw fixing his residence in the north, and being called Maac-an-toshich, i.e., "the Thanes son"' this became the sirname of the family. By a daughter of Giles Montgomery he left issue (2) Shaw, who was some, say 30 or 36 years governor of the Castle of Inverness, which he bravely defended against the Lord of Isles. By a daughter of Sir Harry Sandyland, he had Ferquhar, William and Edward, ancestor of Monivard, and died 1209. (3) Ferquhar had no issue, and was succeded by (4) Shaw, son of William, and, by a daughter of the Thane of Calder, was father to (5) Ferquhar, who fought at the head of hes clan against Haquin King of Norway, in the Battle of Lrags, about 1263. By Mora, daughter of Angus Oig Lord of the Isles, he had (6) Angus, who married Eva, the only child and heir of Dowaal Dall, chief of the Clan Chattan, 1292. By her he obtained the lands of Locharkeg, Glenluy, and Strathlochie, which remained with the family till they were sold to Lochiel in 1665. Argyl paid the purchase money, and lis Superior of those lands. In consequence of this marriage, the Lairds of MacIntosh were (in royal charters, royal missives, indentures, contracts of amity, etc., of which I have persued many) designed "Captains of Clan Chattan". In a bond of man-rent, dated 4th April 1609, and granted by the MacPhersons to MacIntosh, they name him, "Our Chief as it was of auld, according to the Kings of Scotland, their gift of chieftanry of the hail Clan Chatten" (pen. MacIn). But if there were such a royal gift, it is now lost. Yet it cannot be doubted that the MacIntoshes, MacPhersons, MacBeans, Shaws, MacGilivoraes, MacQueens, MacPhials, Smithss, MacInteers, etc., as one incorporated body, did own MacIntosh for their Captain or leader, for about 300 years. In those times of barbarity and violence, small tribes or clans found it necessary, to come under the patronage of more powerful clans. Those incorporated tribes foressaid, went by the name of Clan Chattan; yet every tribe retained its own sirname and chief. Angus by his wife Eva, had a numerous issue, and dying about 1346, his eldest son (7) William, married a daughter of Rory More MacLeod of Lewis, and had (8) Lachlan, who fought the Camerons at Invernahaven (see my "Military History"), and by a daughter of Fraser of Lovate had (9) Ferquhar. this gentleman being of a peaceable disposition, lived a private life, and resigned the Chieftanry and fortune in favor of his uncle (10) Malcolm Beg, who brought a battalion to the Battle of Harlam about 1411, and for his conduct there obtained the lands of Braclohaber, in 1447 by a daughter of MacDonale of Moidart, he had Duncan, William of Thylachie, and Lachlan Badenach, and died 1457. (11) Duncan, by Florence, daughter of MacDonale Earl of Ross, had (12) Ferauhar, who died 1514, without male issue, and was succeded by (13) William, son of Lachlan Badenochm who married Isable MacNivan, heiress of Dunachtin. He was murdered in Inverness by one of his unruly clan, in 1515; of him came Strone. His brother (14) Lachlan Oig succedded, and married Jean, heiress of line of Gorden of Lochinvar, and was barbarously murdered by some of his clan, in 1524. His son (15) William married a daughter of Findlater, and was treacherously murdered in Huntly Castle by that Earl's orders, about 1550, for which Huntly paid a great assythement or compensation in lands. His son (16) Lachlan More was a gentleman greatly respected, for his behavior in the Battle of Glenlivat, 1594 (see my "Military History"). He married a daughter of Lord Kintale, and died 1606. Of his sons are descended the families of Borlum, Aberarder, and Corrybrugh. His eldest son Angus went abroad to travel, and died in Padua about 1593; by a daughter of the Earl of Argyle, he left a son (17) Sir Lachlan, who was for some time, a gentleman of the bed-chamber to Charles. He married a daughter of the Laird of Grant, and died in 1622 leaving two sons, William and Angus of Daviot. (18) William, by a daughter of Graeme of Fintrey, had a son, and dying in 1660. (19) Lachlan married the daughter of Lindsey of Edzel, dying in 1704, his son (20) Lachlan died in 1731 without issue, and was succeded by (21) William, son of Lachlan of Daviot. This gentleman served some years in the army, and was finely accomplished, and dying in 1740 without issue. Was succeded by his brother (22) Angus, who married a daughter of John Farquharson of Invercaould, and died in 1770 without issue. He was succeded by his nephew Aeneas, son of Alexander, third son of Lachlan of Daviot. (Taken from Shaw's "History of the Province of Moray").
