I've been running hectic as usual but was pleased to find something on ancestry.com that I had overlooked (or they've added). Gussie Judith Gorin was born in 1873 in Decatur (Macon), ILL; died 7 May 1959 same. She was the daughter of Orville Browning Gorin and Ella McClellan; granddau of Jerome Rinaldo Gorin and Eleanor Elizabeth Fawcett; gg-dau of John Darns Gorin and Martha Thomas and ggg-dau of Henry Gorin and Sarah Pell. Gussie was an only child and enjoyed many priviliges that most of us will never know. Her father, as I've posted in the past, was the president of Millikin National Bank in Decatur. Orville took Gussie all over the world on cruises and I found some of them yesterday. It's a little snapshot of the past. In random order: Sailing on the Breman 27 July thru 1 August 1931, they sailed from Omerbough to NY on their way home. Gussie is shown as age 37, female, single, resident of Decatur IL, 328 West Prairie Ave. Her date of birth is shown as 10.22.73.Now I have a full date! Orville is shown as 82, , male, married, born Taylorville (Christian Co) IL (great!), same address. A picture of the liner is shown. On an undated list they are shown sailing on the St. Paul. This time her mother went with Gussie and not her father. Ella is shown as 47, female, wife, born USA, resided Decatur and Gussie J was shown as 21, female, indicated wife (of course an error). If Gussie was born in 1873; this would have been 1894. No destination is shown - I'll have to find that, it's there; I forgot to print that information. Aboard the SS Queen Mary on the leg of the trip back from Omerbough (spelled differently this time), departed 2 Aug 1929; no arrival date was indicatged. Gussie took this trip alone; shown 65, female, single, Decatur IL, same birth date, same residence. A picture and write-up of the Queen Mary included. Gussie and both parents sailed on the Lusitania from Liverpool on 29 July 1911. Orville is 62; Ella is 672 and gussie J is 37. Again a photo of the Lusitania is included. And, finally, on Mauretania, departing Omerbourg 12 Sept 1925 and arriving in NYC 10 Sept 1926 (again an obvious error on the ship manifest), is Orville and Gussie. Orville is 76 and Gussie is 51. Photo attached. The Decatur IL newspapers - of which I have posted, normally carried stories about their trips as Orville sent articles back. On one trip they were in Paris and visited with a "cousin" Gorin there. It was noted that both men felt they were related but didn't know how, but treated each other as family. Just for your info!
