Hi: I saw this on the DC old news list. I am looking for the surname Tilton in DC. Does anyone know anything about the Eerson Institute? June 2, 1908 - Wanted - private pupils - college preparatory and other work. Address Mr. TILTON, Eerson Institute, city. Thanks, Debi

That baffled me as well [I transcribed it]. A google search turned up one hit involving Georgetown beating Eerson at football.

You should be able to find that data at the Naylor Ct. Archives unless things have changed in the past year since I was there.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Charles Byron FORD and Bessie Irene FORD which was taken at the J. D. Merritt Studio in Washington D.C. The photograph is dated 1889 and includes the inscription "With Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas". I'm guessing that Charles was in his 20's at the time and that Bessie was about 9 years old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to find this family in the 1880 census for Washington DC including Byon A. FORD age 37, born in NY, his occupation noted as Printer, his wife Elizabeth F. FORD age 36, also born in NY, and their son Charles B. FORD age 14, born in NY. This would suggest that Bessie was likely Charles little sister, and was born after this census report and that Charles B. was probably in his early 20's at the time and that Bessie was 9 years old or younger. I'm hoping to locate someone from this FORD Family, so that this wonderful old photograph could be returned to its rightful please with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

When I sent my initial message a couple weeks ago, entitled "SORRELL/GRIGSBY/MURRAY/WINDSOR/GEYER/RHODES - In DC & VA", I was hoping that one of Ethelene Pearle (nee Grigsby) WINDSOR's descendents might read it and respond. Pearle was married to Lemuel Henry WINDSOR (born ~ 1892); he was my Grandfather's first cousin. Pearle and Lemuel lived for many years with Pearle's Father-in-Law (John Henry WINDSOR) as his wife died long before he did. During part of this time, they lived at 145 E St., S.E. (Pearle's Husband's Grandfather died across the street from 145 E St., S.E., at 136.). Pearle died on June 15, 1967, at her residence at 6922 33rd St., N.W.; Washington, DC. Since Pearle lived with her husband's Father and was with the family for so many years and during their latter times, I was hoping that someone in her family may have our Windsor Family Bible or some other information or photographs. Since my Windsor relatives who lived near Pearle in DC were all males (who don't normally appreciate or gather family information as much as us females do), I was hoping that maybe Pearle had collected and saved some Windsor family information. My descendents from this Windsor family never knew, or passed down, anything about their family. Our families at least once a year (so we had been told by my Grandfather) had a family gathering and, of course when there was a funeral or such. This was not often enough for my Mom (whose maiden name is Windsor) to know or ask anything about the family, plus some of the family had passed away before she was born or when she was a young child. I have photos of young Pearle; the caption reads: E. Pearle Windsor, President 1929-30. And a photo of her husband; caption reads: Lemuel H. Windsor, Grand Master. I know that many in the WINDSOR family were members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in the District of Columbia. As stated in his obituary, young Henry Grigsby WINDSOR was Chief Ruler of the National Capitol Junior Lodge of Odd Fellows. He attended McKinley High School student. Three generations of these WINDSOR's worked at the Navy Yard in Washington DC as did some of the other family members. Lemuel, Pearle's husband, retired with 47 years with the Federal Government at the Navy Yard. Again, I have just been trying to "throw out" tidbits of family information in hopes that someone may still be living who can provide a link of valuable information to my family. I feel if any of Pearle's sisters or other descendents were still living when she passed away that they would have collected/fallen heir to her possessions. I would greatly appreciate anything you can contribute to this family mystery ... Thank you, Betty ---------- P.S. As is said in my previous message: I have photos which I took of a LARGE monument in Congressional Cemetery (in DC) that has the following names on it: 1st Side - E. Pearle (Grigsby) WINDSOR; her husband, Lemuel Henry WINDSOR; and their son, Henry Grigsby WINDSOR. 2nd Side - R. H. SORRELL; Mary E. SORRELL; and, Emma J. MURRAY*. 3rd Side - GRIGSBY ... Milton T.; Richard S.; A. Mae (according to age listed in the 1900 census, this is Pearle's sister ... listed as Annie M.); Annie E. (according to year born, this is Pearle's Mother). I have a copy of the newspaper article describing the auto crash in which young Henry Grigsby WINDSOR died. This article states that he was killed in a car accident in the vicinity of Colonial Beach, Virginia; that he was staying with his family at their summer place near Fredericksburg. The article also mentions that Henry's cousin, Miss Joan GEYER, of West Point, Virginia, was killed. Pearle's sister, Emma, married a Geyer. So I expect that it was Emma's daughter, Joan, who was also killed in this crash. Upon reading this article again, I see that young Miss Geyer was a survivor of this crash. Sorry! I have the information from Pearl's obituary which named her sisters, Mabel E. GEYER and Emma L. RHODES. She passed away on June 15, 1967, at her home in Washington, DC. I also have a copy of the 1900 DC Census showing GRIGSBY, Annie E.*, Head, Widowed, born in Virginia; her four daughters ... Pearle (married name WINDSOR), 14; Mabel E. (married name GEYER), 12; Annie M. (from picture of gravestone, it appears that she died 2 years after this census at age 12), 10; and, Emma L. (married name RHODES), 8. All four daughters were born in DC. (This census showed two SORRELL and one GRIGSBY families all on this one page, meaning that they lived very close to each other.) *I believe that MURRAY was Pearle's Mother's maiden name (Annie E. MURRAY GRIGSBY).

If you are descended from any of the following, please contact <mailto:[email protected]>me. Ethlene Pearle Grigsby WINDSOR married into my Mother's family. I have pictures of Pearle, her husband, and her father-in-law. If you are interested in these, let me know and I'll attach them to a message. I also have a copy of the 1900 DC Census showing GRIGSBY, Annie E.*, Head, Widowed, born in Virginia; her four daughters ... Pearle (married name WINDSOR), 14; Mabel E.
