Hickling Prescott by George Ticknor if anyone wants it - large file - notepad - sent as attachment. Janice Elisha Ticknor TICKNOR, Elisha, educator, born in Lebanon, Connecticut. 25 March, 1757; died in Hanover, New Hampshire, 22 June, 1821. He was graduated at Dartmouth in 1783, and was connected with various schools, becoming in 1788 head master of Franklin grammar-school. Boston. After filling this post for several years, he resigned on account of his health. He made one of the earliest efforts to improve female education in Massachusetts, and originated the scheme for primary schools in Boston, proposing them at a town-meeting in 1818. He became a successful merchant in Boston, and founded the first insurance company and the first savings-bank in the city. In 1818 he presented a plan to prevent the causes and perfect the cure of pauperism in Boston.--His son, George, author, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 1 August, 1791 ; died there, 26 January, 1871. From a very early age he showed a passion for reading, which, under the judicious nurture that he received at home, became still stronger as he grew in years. While yet a boy he passed his examination for admission into Dartmouth, where he took his degree in 1807. On returning home he gave three years more to his favorite studies. When he was nineteen years old, Mr. Ticknor entered the office of a lawyer in Boston, and after the usual term of preparation was admitted to the bar in 1813. But he was satisfied that his vocation, or at least his taste, lay in the direction of letters rather than of law. His father's circumstances were, fortunately, such as to enable the young student to consult his taste in the selection of his profession. In 1815 he went to Europe for study. Two years he passed at Gottingen, attending the lectures of the university and devoting himself to philological studies, especially to the ancient classics. Two years longer he remained in Europe, chiefly on the continent, passing most of his time in the capitals, as affording obvious advantages for a critical study of the national literatures. During his absence he was, in 1817, appointed to fill the chair of modern languages and literature in Harvard. In 1819 he returned to the United States, bringing with him a valuable library. This in time grew to be one of the largest private collections in the country, and, for the rarity and importance of the books, was unsurpassed, in some of its departments. This is especially true of the collection of Spanish literature, which rivalled the best private ones in Europe. Mr. Ticknor, during his connection with the university, gave long and elaborate courses of lectures on French and Spanish literature. He also entered into a critical analysis of such writers as Dante, Goethe, Milton, and Shakespeare. The audience of the lectures, instead of being confined to students, was increased by persons without the walls of the college, who were attracted not merely by the interest of the subject, but by the skill of the critic, his luminous and often eloquent diction, and his impressive delivery. After holding his office for fifteen years, Mr. Ticknor resigned it in 1835, preparatory to another visit to Europe, where he proposed to spend several years with his family. His labors had been attended with signal benefit to the university. He was the first professor on the Smith foundation, and the duty devolved on him of giving a complete organization to the department, which includes several teachers. Moreover, during his connection with Harvard, he suggested valuable improvements in the system of discipline, for which he had derived the hints from the German universities. Finally, he had greatly extended the range of intellectual culture among the students at the university, where literary instruction had hitherto been confined to the classics. Mr. Ticknor was a founder of the Boston public library, and president of its board of trustees in 1864-'6, and gave to it his Spanish library. Mr. Ticknor spent three years in his second visit to Europe, and after his return set about the preparation of his great work. At the close of 1849 the "History of Spanish Literature" made its appearance in England and the United States. Humboldt, in a letter dated 19 June, 1850, shortly after its publication, pronounced its panegyric in a single sentence, declaring it "a masterly work." The judgment of the illustrious German was speedily confirmed both in Europe and in this country. The nature of the subject, it might be thought, would have restricted the demand for the book to a comparatively small number of readers. But the extent of the sales proved the contrary, confirming the remark of the "Edinburgh Review" (October, 1850), that, perhaps of all compositions of the kind, Mr. Ticknor's work has the most successfully combined popularity of style with sound criticism and extensive research within its own department. The edition that was published in England met with the most cordial reception from the scholars of that country, while in Germany and in Spain translations soon appeared, under the auspices of eminent men of letters, who have added to the value of their labors by their own annotations. Although purporting to be simply a history of literature, the work exhibits vividly the social civilization of the peninsula; and, independently of its stores of bibliographical information for the use of the scholar, it will be no less serviceable to the student of history who would acquaint himself with the character and condition of the Spaniard, and see in what manner they have been affected by the peculiar institutions of the country. The first edition of the " History of Spanish Literature" (3 vols., New York and London, 1849) was followed by a second (3 vols., 1854) and by a third American edition, corrected and enlarged (3 vols., Boston, 1863). A fourth edition, containing Mr. Ticknor's last revisions, has appeared since his death. To these are to be added the following translations: "Historia de la Literatura Espanola, For M. G. Ticknor; traducida al Castellano, con Adiciones V Notas criticas, por Don Pascual de Gayangos y Don Enrique de Vedia" (4 vols., Madrid, 1851-'7); " Geschichte der schonen Literatur in Spanien, yon Georg Ticknor; Deutsch mit Zusgtzen, herausgegeben yon Nichohms Heinrich Julius" (2 vols., Leipsic, 1852). Mr. Ticknor's great work was preceded by several minor publications, including "Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on the History and Criticism of Spanish Literature" (Cambridge, 1823) ; "Outline of the Principal Events in the Life of General Lafayette" (Boston, 1825 ; London, 1826 ; in French, Paris, 182,5) ;" Remarks on Changes lately proposed or adopted in Harvard University" (Cambridge, 1825); " Report of the Board of Visitors on the United States Military Academy at West Point for 1826" ; "The Remains of Nathan Appleton Haven, with a Memoir of his Life" (1827); and other publications. He also published a "Life of William Hickling Prescott" (Boston, 1864). See his "Life, Letters, and Journals" (2 vols., Boston, 1876). _http://www.famousamericans.net/elishaticknor/_ (http://www.famousamericans.net/elishaticknor/)

We, the members of the LGAR, find this reprehensible and are trying to aid in the alleviation of this matter.

The first convention was held in Indinapolis, IN on Nov. 20, 1866. In 1882 Commander in Chief of the GAR, Paul Vandevoort, had a hearing for the "purpose of effecting an Auxiliary to the GAR," The new Loyal Ladies League would be considered the Auxiliary to the GAR. Of course there was the debate and the Loyal Ladies League, of course, wanted limits put on their membership requiring only blood relatives eligible for membership. The vote was in favor of the WRC. In 1886, the Loyal Ladies League changed thier name to the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic and "struck the words "Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic." The Loyal Ladies League was the "first love ot the GAR and all through the years they refused to permit any other organizations to use their name. This honor was reserved for the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic." Just a couple of years ago, at the National Convention, the LGAR adopted 1881 as the date of origin of the LGAR. If you are interested in the brochure which much of this came from, I will certainly be happy to send you one. The GAR were all veterans of the Civil War. Why should an organization that is the Auxiliary of this great GAR not limit its membership to the descendants of the veterans of the Civil War and members of the GAR? If they did not, it would dilute the principals for the existence of the organization? The DAR was formed after the LGAR as was the Mayflower Society of which I am working on becoming a member. Actually of both societies. Thank you. Janett Calland LGAR Circle #107 Pres. Ohio

After speaking to many "official people" they gave the name of the veterans agent who also knew nothing and was not aware there had been any markers.

I found it hard to believe that this organization, which I had never heard of before, is older than the Daughters of the American Revolution, or the Society of Mayflower Descendants, of for that matter, the Sons of Union Veterans. Curious as to why such an organization did not inherit the name of the Women's Relief Corps, which was the ladies' auxiliary of the GAR at the time veterans posts were still in existence, I Googled them and found the following at http://suvcw.org/gar.htm "With membership limited strictly to "veterans of the late unpleasantness," the GAR encouraged the formation of Allied Orders to aid them in its various works. Numerous male organizations jousted for the backing of the GAR and the political battles became quite severe until the GAR finally endorsed the Sons of Veterans of the United States of America (later to become the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War) as its heir. A similar, but less protracted, battle took place between the Womans' Relief Corps (WRC)and the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic (LGAR) for the title "official auxiliary to the GAR." That battle was won by the WRC, which is the only Allied Order open to women who do not have an hereditary ancestor who would have been eligible for the GAR. But in this case the LGAR retained its strength and was made one of the Allied Orders."

I was there today....up to 1915. Every five years the Registry of Vital Records releases to the Archives records for the past 5 years. They then go for microfilming and within a pretty fast (genealogically speaking) time they are in the Archives. Deaths for 1912 to 1915 still haven't made it yet and they were released early last summer. Perhaps they haven't updated the web site yet.

Several weeks ago I mentioned a story I uncovered from 1918 where a little boy fell through the ice of Spy Pond, but was saved by a young man who drowned in the effort. It made me think about the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" where little Harry Bailey falls through the ice, but his brother George saves him. Later, Harry becomes a war hero and saves a troopship full of soldiers. I began to wonder what became of the little 2-year-old Francis Ahern, saved from a tragic death. Did he grow up and marry and have kids? Did he become a doctor or a fireman and save people's lives? Did he go off to war? I've spent a good bit of time in the past few weeks investigating what became of him and this is what I found. He grew up to be an Eagle Scout in Troop 7, the same troop I was in and my father before me. He was a star athlete at Arlington High School, was on the track and football teams, and President of the Student Council. He went on to Boston University and was a sophomore in the School of Business Administration when he was shot and killed by a police officer in Mexico.
