    1. [RI] Carl Becker and Marie Eva Beier, 19th century Baden immigrants to RI
    2. K H
    3. Greetings, I'm wondering if anyone on the list may be a descendant of 19th century Baden immigrants to Providence then North Attleboro Mass Carl Becker and Marie Eva Beier; I'm trying to determine their town of origin in Baden. Carl Becker was born about 1825 in Baden and his wife Marie Eva Beier (d/o Joseph Beier and Eva Jaeger) in the later 1820s - also in Baden. They immigrated to the U.S. in the middle part of the 19th century and were (I believe) living in Providence, Rhode Island by 1860. They had at least two children in Rhode Island in the later 1850s - Henry and Emilie. Carl Becker was a saloon keeper; they were Protestants. Emilie Becker married Charles William Hempel (s/o Charles Hempel and Augusta Klaproth) in resided in North Attleboro, Mass. Carl Becker died in July-August 1899 in North Attleboro and is buried in Swan Point Cemetery in Rhode Island. Marie Eva Beier died in 1897 and is also buried at Swan Point. Unfortunately the town of origin for both Carl and Marie Becker is unavailable in any census record for the family as well as the couple's death or cemetery records. We have pictures of them but I have yet to locate a ship's log from their emigration. I'm curious if anyone may be descended from them or have any suggestions about finding the name of their town of origin in Baden. Best regards, Kenneth Hempel

LVII. "JOHN MILLER - Died New York city on Sunday, Oct. 15, 1848, after long suffering, from dropsy. He conducted a printing office in Providence before 1813, when he was interested in the publication of the American. In January, 1820, in partnership with John Hutchens, Mr. Miller began the publication of the Manufacturers and Farmers Journal. He relinquished his interest in the paper in 1835, when he removed to Philadelphia, and later to New York city. His obituary in the Journal said: 'John Miller never had an enemy. All the kindly virtues were in him most harmoniously mingled and blended; and amid all the sharp encounters of business and all the asperities of politics, the community saw only the unaffected urbanity of the gentleman, the unostentatious and unfailing generosity of the man.' His funeral took place Oct. 17 from No. 29 Broadway, and 'many of his old friends, those who knew him in his prosperity, came to pay the last tribute of respect to one who is remembered only with kindness.' WILLIAM JONES MILLER - Born Bristol Jan. 19, 1818. His grandfather, Nelson Miller, was at the battle of Bunker Hill. Young Miller attended the Bristol schools and at the age of 15 began an apprenticeship in the office of the Bristol Gazette, leaving at the end of one year. In 1836 he was working at the case in the office of the Providence Journal and for a time was foreman of the composing room. In 1842, during the Dorr excitement, the firm of Low & Miller, of which he was a member, published the Providence Daily Express and also the weekly New Age. These papers stopped in 1843 and he printed for other parties the Providence Gazette and Chronicle. In 1845 he was collector of customs for Bristol and Warren, then an important position. With Welcome B. Sayles in 1850 he started the Providence Daily Post, retaining connection with the paper until after the Civil war. He was delegate to the National Democratic conventions of 1856, '64 and '72; President of the Bristol town council in 1859, '70 and '71; clerk of the House of Representatives in 1853 and '63; Representative in the General Assembly in 1873 and '74, and for many years served on the school board of Bristol. He was connected with the Bristol Gas Works from its organization, first as superintendent and secretary and later as treasurer. In 1874, '75 and '76 he read papers on the Wampanoag Indians before the Rhode Island Historical Society. These led to the placing of a stone, marking the spot where King Philip was shot, at the 200th anniversary of the event. He died in Bristol Jan. 29, 1886." continued in part 128.

"ROBERT S. MENAMIN - Born Newton-Stewart, county Tyrone, Ireland, Dec. 2, 1833. He came to this country with his parents when he was about three years of age, and settled in Washington D. C. At school in that city he had for one of his teachers Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, the famous novelist. His parents removed to Philadelphia, where he was apprenticed to the printing trade with T. K. & P. G. Collins of that city. To be an apprentice in a city office in those days meant long hours, hard work and small pay, and Robert became dissatisfied with his lot and emigrated to New York without saying the customary farewell to his employers. There he developed into journeyman. In 1854 he worked on the Cincinnati Enquirer, and in the winters of 1855, '56 and '57 in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, La. In 1858 he returned to New York city, where he was a member of both No. 6 and the New York Typographical Society. In 1865 he removed to Philadelphia and established a printers' warehouse, which was successful from the start. In 1866 he issued 'The Printers' Circular' as an organ for the craft, and at the session of the National Union in 1867 the 'Circular' was made its official organ, which honor it held for some years. In 1866 Mr. Menamin was elected a delegate from Providence (R. I.) Typographical Union, No. 33, to the 14th session of the National Union, that met in Chicago in June of that year. His services in that body were so acceptable to No. 33 that on Jan. 1, 1867, its members presented him a massive gold ring. He again, in 1868, represented Providence Union as delegate to the National convention at Washington. Mr. Menamin died in Philadelphia April 19, 1887. He was a member of the following societies: Melita Lodge, No. 295, F. and A. M.; Jerusalem R. A.

In the Civil war he served in the 47th Regt., N. Y. V. After the war he established a printing business in Chateaugay, N. Y. Later he removed to Burlington, Ct., where he published the Democrat and Sentinel. June 14, 1879, he began the publication of The Rhode Island Democrat in this city, which he continued until his death. Mr. Merchant was a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellow and G. A.

    2. David E. Cann
    3. I've received a couple of questions in the last few hours over the blank message body such as from Bob Ward earlier this afternoon, so let me clarify it a bit further. The requirement FOR ROOTSWEB LISTS has always been standard text format messages ONLY, and no attachments. Some systems do allow HTML format and others allow attachments, and some allow both, but RootsWeb does not in the interest of diminishing the liklihood of transmitting viruses through the mail. About 18 months or so ago, with the implementation of the new mail system at RW we also installed the capability to convert most (not all) HTML into text for you if you did not send them as text, so that is why many of you here lately are still seeing messages go through normally even though you do send them in HTML. Unfortunately, the system cannot convert properly ALL of the HTML messages sent, and when it gets one it cannot it strips away the HTML anyway but cannot convert it, and that results in the blank message body such as we had this afternoon. It is always better to send the messages in text format in the first place, because that is the only way to be sure it will make it through. Now then, how do you send a message in text format? That depends on your e-mail software, but nearly all of them have some means of doing it either on an individual message basis or else for all messages. I cannot begin to advise you how to set your software to do it because they are all different in one way or another, but there is almost certainly a way to do it with all of them. I use Outlook 2003, and it allows me to set individual addresses (like RW lists) to automatically go out in text, and also to convert an individual message to text manually before sending it, so I am sure most comparable software will do similar. I hope this answers the questions of the people who asked me off list. If not, you should have a way of setting your software to send in text format one way or another. I hope this helps. David E.
