Aged Chatham Resident Wanders Here: Believed Amnesia Victim

Believed to be a victim of amnesia, James Rawling, 73, was taken to his home in Chatham from Edgewater today after spending the night in a cell at the Borough police station.

Rawling was found by the police shortly after 9 o’clock last night wandering aimlessly through the Ferry Plaza in Edgewater. He was unable to tell where he lived but he said he thought it might be in Chatham. He said he had frequent lapses of memory.

Chatham police notified Edgewater Police Department this morning that Rawling lived in that town and that one of his friends would call in Edgewater and bring him home. He was taken home before noon.

John Austin Byrne Birth Announcement

VIVIAN & JOHN D. BYRNE
(A Holding Company)
396 Mission Street
Santa Cruz, Calif.

NOTICE OF STORK DIVIDEND

The Directors of the above Company have declared a 100 per cent STORK DIVIDEND as of 7:30 P. M. February 21, 1933, in the form of Preferred, Fully Paid, Non-Voting (excepting after 21 years) shares of a newly created subsidiar which will hereafter be known as

JOHN AUSTIN BYRNE

the management and control of which is vested in the parent company.

History - The Parent Company was incorporated November 17, 1929, and has shown consistent progresss since its inception; therefore the Directors have deemed it a sound policy to declare a dividend at this time. The satisfactory position of the company is indicated by the fact that in a period of world-wide depression, it has shown marked expansion, particularly in the last three quarters.

This new issue is offered to the public at Santa Cruz Hospital. It has shown great activity, opening strong at SEVEN, EIGHT (7' 8") F/s and giving promise of tripling that figure during the coming year. Being an infant industry, it is readily recognized as a liquid investment, and its sponsors expect it to be a howling success.

This issue grants the parent company an exemption of $400.00 under the Federal Income Tax Law.

Reports, appraisal, delivery and certificate of title by Mahlon D. McPherson, M.D.

The above facts are from a reliable source and are guaranteed.

Joseph Trapnell III letter to Thomas Tidball Trapnell
Joseph Trapnell III letter to Thomas Tidball Trapnell
Aug 4, 1910

My dear Tom,

When I reached my office about noon today, I found yours of yesterday announcing the birth of your son. It was a great relief, for we, especially Mamma, have felt not a little anxiety on account of the long delay. We unite most heartily with you in returning Thanks to our Father in Heaven and prayers that all may continue well with the trio.

I am not well enough to write you at length but, no doubt, Mamma, when she has read your letter will write Edna our congratulations in extenso.

I think your baby is about, or fully, up the average so fars as averdupois is concerned and, as for looks, I believe a newly born infant is, to a a man's eyes, the most disappointing production in natural history. Fortunately they develop rapidly and in, say 30 days, you will hardly credit the statement that it is the same individual.

I am glad to know that Mother and child are doing well and since Edna wanted a boy (which I concur in) that she has it.

My best love and warmest wishes for all hands. Meanwhile keep us posted if you can. As ever,

Yours A f'ly
Joseph Trapnell

Judah Asimov Memoir
Judah Asimov Memoir
Here are recollections that Judah Asimov wrote in his final year. The grammar isn’t perfect. But it’s worth noting that Judah didn’t begin learning English until he was nearly 30. English was his fourth language and the only one to use the Roman alphabet. He was already fluent in Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian. Copied verbatim, these stories convey the cadence of his voice and the loving person that he was. — Nanette Asimov

Dear Barbara,

Of course xxxx Uncle Ryland and I were delighted with your letter - and your paper was wonderful. The pictures to say the least were not flattering.

I'm sure if you are lucky enough to have the purse returned to you -you will at once put it aside to spend in China.

I'm sure you would be very busy and interested here - when it is cooler I'm going to explore every street. But with the thermometer at nearly hundred every day I find it much pleasanter to do nothing.

Every night we take an auto ride for an hour or so and go through many Chinese villages - you ride for blocks among fine homes then you come to a cluster of Chinese houses - often with stone walls surrounding their and hundreds of men, women and children about. At present they seem to eat out door same at babes where just squatting on any convenient place, and of course eating with chopsticks. No one wears many clothes - many children none at all and some just a little pair of pants that have no seat in them -- cool and convenient too.

We pass hundreds of graves, some in huge mounds grassed over, which went little buck houses built around the casket, and still others with gowns unto wrapped about and often just the wooden casket sitting in a vegetable garden. They never disturb a grave but cultivate around it and seldom is the land used -- so in the first residence distance you see graves xxx no they are many.

The dresses you seen in the shops for the Chinese children are awfully cute. buy at colored coats and pants are such fancy xxx xxx hats that sit on the top of their heads. Of course these things are for the wealthier class.

The flowers here are lovely, many the same as at home -- you see many water lilies and wonderful lotus blossoms in pink and white. My gardener brings my flowers at present - those zinnias, snap dragon and French marigolds. Ferns are pretty here - I have two parts of macder felouis fers in the house - paid .90 xxx for them - that's about .55 our money - so you see they are cheap too. Later on I'm going to get some poinsettas - you see a great many here - they are just budding out now.

There's a Chinese school near here - the children go about 8 and are dismissed about 4 - they see m to do all the xxx things American children do - make plenty of noise and sing in a peculiar falsetto voice and occasionally I see them fighting when they greet their teacher in the street they make a most defexxx bow -- nearly touch the ground.


Well I must write to xxx too - maybe you have some fuschias ... -- I'll do my best to find one for you by the time you must be in school again - glad of course and she dying and fracturing head. Give my love to the rest of the family .

With Love,
Aunt Lois

Richard Trapnell Letter to Edna Valentine Trapnell 25 Sep 1914
Point of Rocks MD, 9/25/1914

Mrs. Thos. T. Trapnell

My dear Niece Edna,

I wish to assure most positively that it was a pleasure for Thos' Uncle Dick to accord his wife all the information I gave him. It was no trouble at all as I have the most of in stored in my brain and the flow of the pen brings not as rapid a memory. The close of my letters usually indicate the same when I am in a hurry to keep up. I don't quite recall did I send you a booklet of The Course Psaxxx(?) of Holy Trinity Church this place. If not I'd like for you to possess it & I'd like to know xx xx Mr. Cxx's find. I have given a Memorial Altar Cross to the Church here...the...made by Gosham of yr city. The inscription upon it is To The Glory of God and in Memory of John Tropenell who suffered death at the stake for the denial of the Roman Dogma of Transubstantiation at Bradford on Avon Wiltshire England. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church 1518. This I may have told you in my letter. My great Grandfather was John also and so is or was the one Mr. Cope speaks of John, & Tom has a brother John. It's all a delightful endeavor to me. I understand that Ben Trapnell has some of the Trapnell plate with the coat of arms. I'd like to know if it's so where he picked up in England. There is at Statesboro GA a Firm Trapnell Mitchell & Co. Ladies ready to wear Goods Gents & Boys Furnishings Dry Goods, Notions & Shoes. B.A. Trapnell write him but don't mention yr informant & let me know results.

Faithfully Yr Uncle R.W. Trapnell

Dear Barbara

Many thanks for your kind letter and believe me I was glad to hear of your doings at home. Also tell Fernald I think he is a somewhat lazy young lad not to drop us a line or is he too much interested in the Milk Whats Sterd

That you are also riding I am glad to hear. It sure must be fun exercise. Almost all the English people ride here in the morninggs. Today one of my business associcates had a bad fall from his horse and his wife told us he could not enter a beauty contest now.

I play tennis and golf for my exercise and enjoy both very much. Your Aunt Lois says I am rather helpless in getting around to look at the sights and I guess she is right but then I keep my eyes open when I am out and have noticed many strange customs of the people and different castes.
(Uncle Ryland didn't have time to finish so I'll end this with his best love to you all - Aunt Lois)

The Great Eastern Hotel LD
Telegrams "Greastern Calcutta"

Calcutta Dec 12 1920


Dear Barbara:

Needless to say both Uncle Ryan and I were delighted to receive you letters and to hear of the various episodes that take place in your family.

India is very interesting there are so many different sects and castes of the people that are very distinctive.

You see so many different markings upon their bodies. From xxlly the face and chest in colored daubs that denote the various sects. The xxx two differs from the almost naked coolies to the veiled ladies. I saw one of the ladies the other day she looked like a Halloweeen spook as evidently she was of the lower class and had just cut holes in a white sheet which she wore over her whole body. In the movies here they have special boxes for them and a thin net curtain hangs up from the top of the box to hide the ladies from the the public gaze.

Today Uncle Ryland and I spent a couple of ours in the Indian Museum - we were fortunate in getting a very close glimpse of Clemenceau the noted French Statesman as he was inspecting the exhibits. In this museum are many fine specimens of the xxx Buddha - that have been taken from the old temples. They are so hideous in face and form that you wonder how they could worship them and yet they do even now. We saw an old mummy about four thousand years old and much of the body was exposed and the teeth all showed and seemed perfect.

The finest things in the the museum were to our minds the beautiful fabrics, both cotton and silk, and also the fine brass trays and metal art xxx that are very old and such as I have never seen any where.

The market place here is very interesting it covers about four city blocks and little shops are crowded one after another and you can buy fruit, vegetables, groceries, drugs, xlat many flowers, art curios. In fact almost everything from lions to elephants and love birds, small animals of course the live things are in a space by themselves.

Uncle Ryland plays a good deal of golf and I'm sure you'd like his outfit. It consists of short khaki pants & long stockings and of course six inches of bare legs shows but it's quite the fashion. He must be in style - I hope to get his picture so you can see how cute he looks and perhaps your father would like to copy him.

I have not forgotten your Xmas present - in fact I have here swell things for each of you girls and some time will find a way to send them.

There are lots of beggars here - and many religous mendicants - or holy men - they appear only a breech clout their long hair matted with dirt and they rub their bodies all over with ashes. We often see two in the early morning going to their regular begging places - one carries a long iron staff, the other one a brass one.

I'm going to write Louise a letter too, and if you can read hers for I am going to tell her different things.

With love to you and your brothers and sisters.

Aunt Lois

St George Tucker Poem
St George Tucker Poem
Among papers of Nathan White, presumably written in his hand (though not sure). Poem by St. George Tucker of Virginia:

Days of my youth! Ye have glided away;
Locks of my youth! Ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes of my youth! Your keen sight is no more;
Cheeks of my youth! Ye are furrowed all o'er;
Strength of my youth! All your vigor is gone;
Thoughts of my youth! Your gay visions are flown!
Days of my youth, I wish not your recall;
Locks of my youth, I'm content ye shall fall;
Eyes of my youth, ye much evil have seen;
Cheeks of my youth, bathed in tears have ye been;
Thoughts of my youth, ye have led me astray;
Strength of my youth; why lament your decay!
Days of my age! Ye will shortly be past;
Pains of my age, but a while can ye last;
Joys of my age, in true wisdom delight;
Eyes of my age, be religion your light;
Thoughts of my age, dread ye not the cold sod;
Hopes of my age, be ye fixed on your God!

Lines written by George Tucker Virginia
