| 2059 | [EFA4.FTW] Samuel Ashley settled in Westfield. He was a carpenter by trade, but naturally was engaged to a large extent in farming. He also kept the inn at Westfield for a number of years. He was a considerable land owner, and had a quarter interest in a gristmill at Two Mile Brook in company with his brother Dea. David Ashley and Lieut. James Dewey. In 1719 he sold to his brother David half the homelot which had belonged to their father. His name appears either as grantor or grantee in a large number of deeds of land during his residence in Westfield. Samuel Ashley was conspicuous in the management of town affairs and his name is to be seen in the records in various connections. He was elected tythingman in 1697, 1698 and 1703. On November 1, 1700, he was chosen with his brother Deacon David and two others a committee to build the schoolhouse. He was elected a selectman in 1703, 1704 and 1720. In 1709 he was elected town constable, but refused to serve. On March 8, 1713-4, he was appointed one of a committee of three to settle the bounds between Westfield and Springfield. He united with the Westfield church April 15, 1714, and was very active in its interests. He was appointed on the committee to build a new meeting-house in 1719, and, after its completion, was chosen a member of the seating committee in October, 1721. He continued to be interested in the welfare of the church up to his death, and his services were considered worthy of a special vote of the town after his death, which was presented to his widow.(*) | Ashley, Samuel (I28628)

| 2077 | [EFA4.FTW] The need for such a society had impressed Miss Eddy so strongly, while attending the 1890 meeting of the American Library Association, that she decided to discuss the matter with Henry M. Utley, librarian of the Detroit Public Library. He agreed that her idea was good and offered to help put it across. Afterwards Mr. Utley always insisted that credit for the founding of the Michigan Library Association should go to Miss Eddy of Coldwater. In the following months considerable correspondence took place among librarians in the state, and the first meeting of the projected association was arranged. Of the 37 delegates registered at this gathering, five were from Coldwater, the largest single group except that of Detroit. With Miss Eddy were: Franklin E. Morgan and Mr H. P. Collin of the Coldwater Library Board, Miss Florence Holmes, and the Rev. H. P. Collin of Coldwater's Presbyterian Church. As soon as the meeting got underway, F. E. Morgan, author of the above mentioned library law, was appointed on a comittee to frame a constitution for the association This document drawn up and accepted, Mr. Morgan was elected as one of the organization's vice-presidents, with Mr. Utley of Detroit as president. The meeting then turned to a series of talks on various library problems. Miss Eddy, one of the speakers, read a paper on the work the Coldwater Library was doing with study clubs and adult education classes in the fields of history, literature, and botany. Much surprise was shown at the extent of this educational program in Coldwater and considerable discussion followed. The Rev. H. P. Collin, who had lead some of these study groups at the Library, took considerable part in this discussion. Later, Mr. Morgan read a thoughtful and suggestive paper on the relationship between the public library and the public school He showed by statistics that only a very small percentage of students, at that time, ever reached college. The majority of people had only the public library to turn to for education beyond the public schools. The public library, he urged, must become the People's University. In years to come this, of course, was exactly what the American public library did become for a great many people. It is a source of pride to Coldwater to know how early we caught this vision. No one person alone was responsible. It was all a part of the library dream as it grew from the beginning in Coldwater. If we contributed something to; the first meeting of the Michigan Library Association, we also received much, especially from the discussion of the Dewey Decimal System of classifying books, as it had been introduced into the Detroit Public Library. Coldwater decided to follow this Detroit lead. In the next years this was accomplished with the help of Miss Margaret Parkhurst, daughter of General Parkhurst and later the wife of William C. Morey At the second meeting of the Michigan Library Association, in 1892, Miss Eddy was elected a vice-president. Mary A. Eddy, was the daughter of Franklin T. and Elizabeth (Garland) Eddy, who came to St. Joseph County, Michigan, from New York State in the 1840's, settling in Coldwater about 1853. Mary was probably born here soon after the family's arrival. In later years the Eddy's lived on South Fremont St. in the lovely white frame house now belonging to Dr. and Mrs. H.R. Weidner. Franklin T. Eddy was born in 1816, had studied law in Rochester, N.Y. and was admitted to the bar there.In Coldwater he became active in politics holding such public, offices as Register of Deeds (where his beautiful penmanship caused considerable comment), supervisor from the Fourth Ward, and Justice of the Peace In 1857 he helped establish the Branch County Republican, which paper he edited "with a trenchant pen," making it an important Michigan publication. Mrs. Eddy had been born in Kent County, England and came with her parents to Rochester, N.Y. when she was ten years old. She married Mr. Eddy, July 8, 1843 and to this exceedingly happy union five children were born: Caroline G. (Mrs. Mortimer Knowles), Lily L. (Mrs. William H. Donaldson,) Frances, Mary A. and Franklin T. Jr. Mrs. Eddy died in Coldwater, May 20, 1884, aged 59. Mr. Eddy died June 8, 1800. Mary Eddy was appointed first librarian of Coldwater's newly organized Public Library in July, 1881, and continued in this position until July, 1895. Her sister Frances is said to have worked as assistant in the library. The "Eddy girls" moved from Fremont to Marshall street after their father's death. Miss Eddy's first experience as librarian occurred in the little brown house which had been the home of the Ladies' Library. She presided at the opening there, in Nov. 1881, of the Coldwater Free Public Library. She watched this new institution grow in size and usefulness, till its overcrowded quarters seemed ready to burst. During this time Henry C. Lewis, president of the Library Board, died, bequeathing his fine book collection and other items to the 1ibrary. General John G. Parkhurst became the Board's second president. Shortly thereafter, Edwin R. Clarke. came forward with his unexpected proposal to provide the city with a fine new library building. These were years of adventure. On the evening the Clarke building was, dedicated, Dec. 29 1886 Dr. J. B. Angell, President of the University of Michigan, declared that he could think of no Coldwater office he would like so well as that of librarian for the next year. The opportunities, which the new building afforded in extended services, were almost boundless, he pointed out. No one understood this better, or was happier about it, than Mary Eddy. But first there were such practical concern's as the purchasing of the handsome wall clock which O. D. Chapman father of our late librarian, Miss Margaret L. Chapman, let the Library have at less than cost. There were carpets, curtains and, draperies to purchase for the lecture hall on the second floor where plans for adult education already were unfolding. The new building had scarsely opened when the Rev. Collin began his series of history courses which became so popular that he had to repeat them at the Library over the years. The Rev. Herbert Sowerby of St. Mark's offered a course of free lectures on art. A museum collection of mineral and natural history specimens carefully mounted and cataloged by Calvin J. Thorpe, Coldwater teacher and newspaperman, were donated for display in the lecture hall. "Library Hall" became the focal point for a number of educational and cultural projects. Miss Eddy, who encouraged and coordinated, all these activities, is remembered for her intelligence, her rather prim and precise manner, her dark blue dresses relieved by white ruches. But more importantly she is remembered for her dedication as a librarian. While she was rapping with her letter opener for order and quiet in the library, she was also noting the special needs of her public, especially those of the students who crowded the reading room. She was a keen judge of character. Among the young people under her eye was a Coldwater school girl of unusual initiative, character and talents, Frances Alice Kellor who might never have become one of our country's great women, a leader in social and economic reforms, and founder and eloquent spokesman of the American Arbitration Association; but for the encouragement, guidance and practical help given to her by Coldwater's discerning librarian, Mary A. Eddy. Little is known of the later years of Miss Eddy's life. Apparently she left Coldwater soon after 1898, probably for Chicago, where her name appears in the city directories of 1913 through 1917. From that time until May, 1935, she was librarian at Chicago's South Shore Country Club. Her last known address was 5602 Maryland Ave., Chicago. Mary A. Eddy died on Oct. 13, 1940, at the South Side Sanitarium, Drexel Blvd., Chicago, IL. She was buried in the Eddy family lot at Oak Grove Cemetery, Coldwater. The fine work she started in our Public Library was carried on by her successor, Miss. Florence Holmes, who is remembered in later years as Mrs. E. D. Legg of Coldwater. This story of Mary A. Eddy, who started the Coldwater Public Library on a high road, brings to a close the series of articles commemorating 'the 75th anniversary of the dedication of the Clarke Library Building. These have been proud stories of people who dared to dream and were willing and able to make their dreams come true. Stories of citizens eager to give Coldwater their best. Some gave their wealth and the treasures collected through a lifetime. Some offered wisdom, surely as precious as gold. Others gave imagination and enthusiasm and faithfulness And, always there was the gift of appreciation. None of this giving was greater or less than the heart of the giver. And so our library was founded and grew. And so, through the years to come, it will continue to grow in its splendid tradition reflecting the character and dreams of the people who are COLDWATER. | Eddy, Mary A. (I09634)

| 2083 | [EFA4.FTW] The Weyburn Review Veronica Estelle Brock Veronica Estelle Brock passed away January 26, 2002 at the Weyburn General Hospital. Veronica was born November 26, 1926. Predeceased by her parents Charles and Sarah Eddy, infant daughter, sisters Cecilia Eddy and Lois Cross. Brothers James and Leo Eddy, brothers-in-law Jim Wilson, Stanley Franklin, Alvin Cross, Bud Brock, Bill Brock, Doug Brock, Delbert Brock, Doug Campbell, Bob Lauder, Tog Murray and Stan Button, sisters-in-law Hazel Eddy, Jessie Brock, Patsy Murray, Grace Button and Emma Jean Brock. Veronica and her nine siblings attended school at Round Grove. Her parents, believing that their daughter should receive a better education, enrolled her in the Sion Convent in Moose Jaw then the Holy Rosary Convent in Regina. It was during that second year that Veronica tested positive for Tuberculosis. Further testing showed a dime sized spot on one of her lungs. Veronica entered the Sanatorium at Fort Qu'Appelle at the age of 16 years. Five years later she would exit, having 13 operations and one lung removed. This experience with death, at such an early age, strongly effected her attitude on living. She lived life with a passion that was evident in her love of colour, fancy clothes, people, excitement, travel, religion, art and literature. On return home, with orders from her physician to get "lots of rest and quiet," she celebrated by painting the entire inside of her mother's kitchen red. For out of the darkness of death, she would have light. Veronica met Russell through her brother Greg. Russell's first response when meeting Veronica was to ask her to marry him. She laughed. He found her enchanting; she found him wonderfully amusing. On December 26, 1955 they wed. Through this union they created a family. A family which understood that she was a lot like a comet across a night sky, bright and beautiful and not a bit shy, its boldness a treasure as it softly doth die. Veronica's memory will be held dear by her husband Russell, and children: Anna (Keith) Erick of Kenosee Lake, Ava (Ed) Dunham of Creelman, Duncan (Nan) of McTaggart, Sara (Brad) Irwin of Goodwater, and Warren (Bonnie Garvey) of Yellow Grass. Veronica was very proud of her grandchildren: Craig and Sheena Erick, Sean, Ian and Morgan Dunham, Brandon, Amanda, Austin and Leah Brock, John, Gene and Robert Irwin, Tyson Garvey, Cynthia (Cory) Turpie and Crystal Kitchen, great grandchildren Karson and Montana Turpie and Keven Kitchen. Sisters, Fern Wilson of Regina, Myrtle Franklin of Red Deer, AB, Evelyn Erick of Calgary, AB. Brothers, Walton (Helen) Eddy of Weyburn Weyburn, Della Brock of Scarborough, ON, Ethel Brock of Brampton, ON, Verna Brock of Gravenhurst, ON and Margaret Lauder of Weyburn.

Douglas CONDLEY at our first CONDLEY family reunion, held October 7, 2000 in Hector, Pope County, AR... as told by Minnie May CONDLEY-FROST... (1901-1982) Many CONDLEY descendants still live in Hector, Appleton and Russellville, Arkansas. *************************************** "I was born September 1, 1900 to William Drury Condley and Sarah Eddy in Appleton, Arkansas. My father bought his first home in 1898. It was 160 acres of land. It had a large house on it, a big log house, it had 6 rooms and two fireplaces, with a hallway between the rooms. I was born there in that house. At that time I was the fourth girl and one boy. Then later mother had six other children, 3 girls and two boys. The last one were twins born in 1910. We had a good mom and dad, they were good to us. Our home was always a orphans home. We took in two cousins because their mother had died. We always had plenty to eat, a warm house to live in. We had to walk about two miles to school. It was so cold in the winter time our feet would freeze. We had one sad thing in our family, one of the brothers had polio. He was crippled very bad when he was a little boy. Dad got a one horse cart to take him to school. We had an old jackass to pull the cart. My brother could always handle him. We always lived off the farm. My father grew his own wheat and corn to make our bread. He cut his wheat with a cradle, by hand, took it in bundles, shocked it until they could get it thrashed out. Dad and Mr. Frost owned the thrashing machine. They would go from one farm to another thrashing their wheat. Then we had a stone grinding mill that made the grain into flour. Then we grew our cane to make our syrup. Dad had the mill to grind the cane to get the juice out of it, he had the pan to cook the syrup in, it was about 4 feet wide and 6 feet long, it was in sections. You had to stay with it all the time, as one section would get to cooking good you would move it up until it was ready to put in the containers. This pan set on a pit with a fire under it. It was made like a fireplace. I always hated that time for I always had to help my dad. Sometimes we would work until 9:00 at night getting a batch finished. Then Dad built us a new home. It was a pretty house with lots of windows in it. Most of us girls got married in that home. I will tell you about my marriage, we were married by the Justice of the Peace on Dec. 23, 1915, about 10:00 in the morning. The house and yard were full of family and friends. We decided to leave the big crowd and we went to my grandfather EDDY's. When we got there, we learned he was sick so we went to a cousins place. They were gone but the door was open. By that time it was sleeting, snowing and freezing. We went in, had plenty of wood to keep us warm, but the kitchen was locked. Three days we ate roasted potatoes we got in the cellar. no salt, no butter. They got old before we could get out to any place. We were glad to get home. We would not tell the folks how hungry we were. We stayed there with dad helping with the farming. We moved out in July, then in December, Al was born, then in a few months, Dolan came to live with us..then it was not long until there were 7 children and Dolan made 8. Poor Mack, when he was not busy on the farm he worked at a mill for $.25 a day. Then in 1924, we moved to Russellville. Mack worked in the mine. He was there only a year and he became the pump man. Then he got books and studied. He made a fire boss and then he died in 1932. That was the saddest time in my life. I was so scared, 6 children to go to school, had to eat, have a home and I had 2 thousand dollars. Had to pay bills, feed 7 from them. Then I married Fred thinking it was best. It was fine when he was with us. Al went in the C.C. To help out, poor kid, he had been working in the bakery for $.25 a day. Then I got sick, almost lost my life and both my legs, did not walk for three months. Fred moved us up in the mountains in Nevada". (I believe they moved on to CA). *********************** Submitted by: Debbie, So Cal CONDLEYS June 12, 2001 | Condley, Minnie May (I80239)
