I just realized today is my late granny's birthday, so y'all are gonna get some fun facts about her

she was born in the 1910s (she was already almost 80 by the time i was born, so most of this is either from her stories or stories from various relatives)

she was half native american, her father was a wealthy merchant who fell in love, this was not super normal for the time so for my granny's protection he paid off the records keeper to change her birth cert.

her father was wealthy as i mentioned so she lived a posh life, (until the money ran out), when she was 17 she drove a fancy car into a ditch and she didn't drive again for the rest of her life (she may have been drunk) again this was the early 1900s

She was married to 7 or 8 different men (the number is fuzzy)

She had between 14-24 pregnancies, 13 of those made it to adulthood, the youngest of which is my father

my favorite photo of her is her two oldest daughters holding their babies and her holding my father, my father has nieces and nephews that are in fact older than him, they sarcastically call him uncle

she got into a bar fight and ended up hooking one of the guys in the holding cell up with her oldest daughter (they were married for 60ish years before he passed, great guy, he was older than my mother's father lmao)

her and my grandfather (and possibly some other relatives) used to go to ummmm those shows that are x rated, peep shows, i think they're called,

she firmly believed in fairies, (perfect timing with the whole walrus thing) and most things supernatural, a lot of my family has carried that on, myself included (maybe not fairies but ghosts and some other stuff like El Chupacabra)

she was an expert seamstress, all the grandkids have cool dolls she made us, still have mine

She and my grandfather were divorced and remarried 3 different times, they died married

ironically both my grandparents were raised wealthy but all of the money dried up before they were adults (i'm talking generational wealth)

She was very pious, church was important, but she also wasn't judgmental, had no problem with her gay grandkids (again this is hearsay she was extremely old by the time i knew her)

she drank a glass of whiskey a night (sometimes more lmao), she took it neat, lived to be in her 90s! she didn't smoke but my grandfather was a notorious chain smoker, he was in his late 80s when he died (2 months after her)

Extra fun fact, my grandfather was a code breaker during ww2, he wouldn't speak around this certain part of houston where there are a bunch of phone lines and power lines, like he would just go silent, when asked about it he'd say classified soooooo idk, he also believed in aliens something that rubbed off on a bunch of us, he had 2 kids with granny, and adopted one of hers who didn't find out she was adopted by him until his funeral, she thought he was her bio dad

ALSO they both died in a house that is still owned by family, i have 100% heard them talking in the room they died in, the dogs (new ones that weren't around for them i was a teen when they died) refuse to go in that room, and other people have reported hearing them or seeing things in the room

#bunny talks #rip granny happy 1XX bday #hope your ghost is having fun

It’s weird to think that Fanny’s grandparents belonged to the same generation as Thomas and Thomas’s grandparents belonged to the same generation as kitty

*spins around in my chair* aha! Allow me to introduce you to… my headcanon that Kitty’s family were actually a previous generation of Highams and that her full name is actually Katherine Higham.

It is fun to think about how close to each other the ghosts lived. I especially find it cool how the four ghosts who died in the 20th century all would have at some point been alive at the same time as the ghost who came before them. Fanny and the Captain were both alive during the 1900s/1910s. Pat was canonically born in 1945 so he and the Captain would both have been alive for a few years. And Pat and Julian only died 10 years apart so they were basically alive at the same time for most of their lives.

EVALUATION

The brief was to create a photo book from one of the four categories. These categories are now & then, family, local and being young. I chose to base my photo book around local and a little bit of being young. The creative process I followed was going out and taking photographs around my area.I also tried different compositions when taking a couple of my shots. The source of inspiration was from my local area and the history behind it. My family also told me about things that used to be in Long Eaton that have now been knocked down or abandoned. I started creating ideas of what I might like to do. I came up with a few ideas however, I wasn’t satisfied with them. One of my first ideas was fashion, and showing how fashion has changed throughout the decades to now. Some other ideas were buildings in general and showing the architecture but I found that I wanted something a bit more meaningful in my work. I had to think about which was my main issue. I had to make sure that the weather was going to be okay to shoot it although, one occasion it started raining and I had to carry on taking my other photographs the next day. I only did one stylistic shot and this was for one of my swing shots. I chose to focus on one of the chains that you hold on, and have the other swing blurred in the background. I did this because I wanted to show safety and having fun on the park from when I was a kid. It portrays that I was protected by the joy I was having. The other swing shot, I took from straight on. I photographed this one because I always used to go to this park (Grange Park), when I was young and before the new park was built. For the first photo, I took of an original foot-bridge that crossed the lines into the local wagon works. I decided to photograph this as it shows historical importance. As for the next bridge, it has been built for 80 years and this also portrays historical importance. These two bridges keep the past alive today. I took a photograph of the local council house because it was a former farmhouse and to now see that it has changed, is a difference from then and now. The second building was of the clock tower, which in the early 1900s, the clock wasn’t on it, The clock was added in the late 40s, before my parents were born, which shows that it has been there for a while. I chose to capture Antonio’s chip shop because my nana used to work there, as well as Tennants chip shop, so these have a special memory and this illustrates family. The next two are of churches. I took these as they have memories and the first church which was St. Laurence, has been there since Norman times. Cinema one, started as St. Jmes’ Theatre in 1907 then it became Vince Picturedrome in 1910, and then in 1923 it was the Scala cinema and eventually becoming the Galaxy cinema. The other cinema (Ritz) was also built in 1913, around the same time as the other cinema. These both still stand today however, they’re not in use. This shows that people went out and watched films still like today, than watching tv which you couldn’t back then. There were also a couple more cinemas although, they aren’t here today sadly. These are two of the many lace mills dotted around Long Eaton, portraying its importance as a lace manufacturer. The ‘Mill and Brook’ pub was one of the oldest remaining in Long Eaton, this coveys further history in Long Eaton and how many buildings have been knocked down over the years. This goes for the ‘Tappers Harker’ as well. I edited all my raw images into black and white, changing the basic Photoshop skills; exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, blacks and whites. I did this because I wanted to show the history and how much it has changed over the years. My images are about my life in Long Eaton and illustrating memories throughout. I chose black and white to show life in the past and how these buildings have been built before my grandparents moved to Long Eaton. I chose to do this of some personal reasons and how my whole life I have lived in Long Eaton and so much has happened right from when I was little. I think my images do go together as I decided to have two of each photograph, to show different buildings of the same thing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL PHOTO BOOK

I am very satisfied with my final piece as I have shown my idea through photographs from places that mean something to me. My strengths were being able to get the images I wanted and not having any problems when taking these photographs. I am also very happy with how my photo book turned out. My weakness is not being able to come up with the idea sooner, because then I might have had more time to get a lot more photographs. If I was to do this again, I would possibly include little interview conversations from my parents and grandparents, to see what has changed since they lived here and what they miss about it.

Photo: Lillian Gish and Helen Hayes, New York, November 29, 1975

“The First Lady of The American Theatre”

Helen Hayes Helen Hayes MacArthur (née Brown; October 10, 1900 – March 17, 1993) was an American actress whose career spanned 80 years. She eventually garnered the nickname "First Lady of American Theatre" and was one of 12 people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award (an EGOT). Hayes also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor, from President Ronald Reagan in 1986. In 1988, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts. The annual Helen Hayes Awards, which have recognized excellence in professional theatre in greater Washington, DC, since 1984, are her namesake. In 1955, the former Fulton Theatre on 46th Street in New York City's Broadway Theater District was renamed the Helen Hayes Theatre. When that venue was torn down in 1982, the nearby Little Theatre was renamed in her honor. Helen Hayes is regarded as one of the Greatest Leading Ladies of the 20th-century theatre. Helen Hayes Brown was born in Washington, D.C., on October 10, 1900. Her mother, Catherine Estelle (née Hayes), or Essie, was an aspiring actress who worked in touring companies. Her father, Francis van Arnum Brown, worked at a number of jobs, including as a clerk at the Washington Patent Office and as a manager and salesman for a wholesale butcher. Hayes's Catholic maternal grandparents emigrated from Ireland during the Irish Potato Famine. Hayes began a stage career at an early age. She said her stage debut was as a five-year-old singer at Washington's Belasco Theatre, on Lafayette Square, across from the White House. By age ten, she had made a short film, Jean and the Calico Doll (1910), but moved to Hollywood only when her husband, playwright Charles MacArthur, signed a Hollywood deal. Hayes attended Dominican Academy's prestigious primary school, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, from 1910 to 1912, appearing there in The Old Dutch, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and other performances. She attended the Academy of the Sacred Heart Convent in Washington and graduated in 1917. Her sound film debut was The Sin of Madelon Claudet, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She followed that with starring roles in Arrowsmith (with Ronald Colman), A Farewell to Arms (with Gary Cooper), The White Sister (opposite Clark Gable), What Every Woman Knows (a reprise of her Broadway hit), and Vanessa: Her Love Story. But Hayes did not prefer film to the stage. Hayes eventually returned to Broadway in 1935, where for three years she played the title role in Gilbert Miller's production of Victoria Regina, with Vincent Price as Prince Albert, first at the Broadhurst Theatre and later at the Martin Beck Theatre. In 1951, she was involved in the Broadway revival of J.M. Barrie's play Mary Rose at the ANTA Playhouse. In 1953, she was the first-ever recipient of the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in Chicago theatre, repeating as the winner in 1969. She returned to Hollywood in the 1950s, and her film star began to rise. She starred in My Son John (1952) and Anastasia (1956), and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as an elderly stowaway in the disaster film Airport (1970). She followed that up with several roles in Disney films such as Herbie Rides Again, One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing and Candleshoe. Her performance in Anastasia was considered a comeback—she had suspended her career for several years due to her daughter Mary's death and her husband's failing health. In 1955, the Fulton Theatre was renamed for her. In the 1980s, business interests wished to raze that theatre and four others to construct a large hotel that included the Marquis Theatre. Hayes's consent to raze the theatre named for her was sought and given, though she had no ownership interest in the building. Parts of the original Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway were used to construct the Shakespeare Center on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, which Hayes dedicated with Joseph Papp in 1982.[10] In 1983 the Little Theater on West 45th Street was renamed the Helen Hayes Theatre in her honor, as was a theatre in Nyack, which has since been renamed the Riverspace-Arts Center. In early 2014, the site was refurbished and styled by interior designer Dawn Hershko and reopened as the Playhouse Market, a quaint restaurant and gourmet deli. Book written by Helen Hayes in 1971-72 with friend Anita Loos. Hayes, who spoke with her good friend Anita Loos almost daily on the phone, told her, "I used to think New York was the most enthralling place in the world. I'll bet it still is and if I were free next summer, I would prove it." With that, she convinced Loos to embark on an exploration of all five boroughs of New York. They visited and explored the city; Bellevue Hospital at night, a tugboat hauling garbage out to sea, parties, libraries, and Puerto Rican markets. They spoke to everyday people to see how they lived their lives and what made the city tick. The result of this collaborative effort was the book "Twice Over Lightly", published in 1972. It is unclear when or by whom Hayes was called the "First Lady of the Theatre". Her friend, actress Katharine Cornell, also held that title, and each thought the other deserved it. One critic said Cornell played every queen as though she were a woman, whereas Hayes played every woman as though she were a queen. In 1982, with friend Lady Bird Johnson, she founded the National Wildflower Research Center, now the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. The center protects and preserves North America's native plants and natural landscapes. The Helen Hayes Award for theater in the Washington, DC, area is named in her honor. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6220 Hollywood Blvd. Hayes is also in the American Theatre Hall of Fame. Hayes died on March 17, 1993, of congestive heart failure in Nyack, New York. Lillian Gish, the "First Lady of American Cinema", made Hayes the designated beneficiary of her estate, but Hayes survived her by less than a month. Hayes was interred in Oak Hill Cemetery in Nyack. In 2011, she was honored with a US postage stamp.

Putting Belle to Bed

Originally published in The Euphony Review, this article drew significant Facebook commentary and spurred further research efforts, which I felt should be documented here as well

For close to seventy years, now, we’ve grown accustomed to stories about Scott Joplin’s first wife, Belle, with whom he had a child who died in infancy, after which the couple separated, with Belle returning to Sedalia, where she died a short time later. According to Arthur Marshall (as told to Rudi Blesh and published in They All Played Ragtime), she was a widow, and Scott Hayden’s sister-in-law. Blesh quotes Marshall verbatim:

“Mrs. Joplin wasn’t so interested in music and her taking violin lessons from Scott was a perfect failure. Mr. Joplin was seriously humiliated. Of course, unpleasant attitudes and lack of home interests occurred between them.

They finally separated. He told me his wife had no interest in his musical career. Otherwise Mrs. Joplin was very pleasant to his friends and especially to we home boys. To other acquaintances of the family other than I and Hayden and also my brother Lee who knew the facts, Scott was towards her in their presence very pleasing.

A shield of honor toward her existed and for the child. As my brother, Lee Marshall, Hayden and I were like his brothers, Joplin often asked us to console Mrs. Joplin—perhaps she would reconsider. But she remained neutral. She was never harsh with us but we just couldn’t get her to see the point. So, a separation finally resulted.”

Blesh points out the respectful deference both Hayden and Marshall showed Mrs. Joplin, which he attributes to Marshall’s great tact. My own impression was that both Marshall and Hayden treated Mrs. Joplin as if she were someone they didn’t know well, odd for two “home boys” from Sedalia who would, presumably, have known her for many years.

Something very important that is left out of the story, either by Marshall’s omission or perhaps Blesh’s storytelling, is that, at the time the events take place, Joplin had moved in with his brother Will and his wife, Sophorinia….and that Arthur Marshall and his brother Lee, and Scott and Nora Hayden had moved in as well., presumably working to complete “A Guest of Honor”.

There WAS a Belle Hayden, and she may have been Scott Haden’s sister in law, but all of his brothers were still living at the time the stories take place, making a marriage to Scott Joplin highly unlikely. What’s more, Belle died around 1930, in Chicago, not in Sedalia in the early 1900s, as reported by Marshall. We now know that Freddie Alexander, whom Scott Joplin married in 1904 died in Sedalia the same year, but she wasn’t at the house in St Louis with Joplin, Marshall and Hayden.

Interestingly, by 1904 Will and Sophorina had split. The 1904 St Louis City Directory lists her as Will Joplin’s widow (though he turns up elsewhere later, very much alive). I can very much imagine the split was precipitated by having five new people added to the household, at least three of them working musicians.

The newly discovered marriage documents for Scott Joplin and Lottie Stokes indicate that Freddie Alexander was Joplin’s first wife, not his second, and Freddie’s marriage documents give no indication of a previous marriage.

Given the evidence at hand, I believe there was no “Belle Joplin” as such, and that Marshall’s memory, fogged by nearly fifty years of intervening events, was erroneous, merging memories of three women: Belle Hayden, Sophorinia (Mrs Will) Joplin and Freddie Alexander to form “Belle Joplin”, and that Marshall’s comments about Belle Joplin draw elements from all three.

I think the time has come, nearly seventy years after the first publication of They All Played Ragtime, to put our understanding of Belle to bed.

Email from Bryan Cather to Dr Edward A Berlin, about Joe Hayden, purportedly Belle’s deceased husband,and older brother of Scott Hayden:

I'm looking for Scott Hayden's older brother, Joe (Joseph) in census records and I'm confused as hell. I simply cannot find the guy.

Scott Hayden's parents were Marion (or Martin) and Julia Hayden.

The 1870 Census lists the family as follows, living in Sedalia

Marion, M, 33

Julia, F 23

Sarah, F 2,

Mary E, F ten months,

Littie, F age 65

(as an aside, I suspect Littie is actually Julia's mother, as Marion is listed as "Mulatto" while Julia is listed as "Black"....Littie is also listed as "Black" and as being born in Africa.. None of that bears on my question, though)

However, in the 1880 census the family is listed as follows:

Marion M 30

Julia F 29

Sarah F 13

Mary F 11

Nannie F 8

Charlie M 4

Earnast M 1

Scott Hayden was born in 1882, and another daughter, Julia was born in 1884. In the 1900 Census, Julia is listed as having given birth to seven children, four of which were still living. By my count, the seven children born of Julia Hayden as of 1900 are Sarah, Mary, Nannie, Charles, Earnast, Scott and Julia....so where does Joe fit in that count?. I thought for a moment that "Joe" might be "Charles Joseph" or "Earnast Joseph", but both Charlie and Earnest turn up in census records into the 1920s, long after Joe's presumed date of death.

Family history apparently indicates that Joe Hayden was born in 1870, but its strange that he doesn't turn up with the rest of the family in 1880, and his existence would skew the count of how many children Julia had given birth to by 1900. In fact, I couldn't find evidence of Joe in census records at all, which seems very strange, considering all the other family members turn up consistently, well into the 1920s.

To add to the confusion, if Belle Jones was Joe Hayden's widow, why was she not listed as "Belle Hayden, widow" instead of "Belle Jones", a single woman in the 1900 census?

Alonzo Hayden being the son of Joe Hayden and Belle Jones further complicates things. If Belle Jones is Alonzo Hayden's mother, it seems odd to have her living both without her son and apart from the Hayden family in 1900. Alonzo Hayden would have been five years old in 1900, but he's not listed as living with either Belle Jones or Martin and Julia Hayden in 1900....he doesn't turn up at all until the 1910 Census, when he's 15 years old, and living with his grandparents, Martin and Julia. That would mean that Alonzo's parents might have been Charlie, or even Earnest, or maybe one of the older sisters. That said, on his WWI draft record, Alonzo lists a spouse and grandparents, but no parents...shedding absolutely no more light whatsoever on who his parents were, nor on Joe Hayden.

It occurs to me that "Joe Hayden" might not be a brother, but rather some other kind of relative, a cousin perhaps...but that then places Alonzo's status in the family as Marion and Julia's grandson in question.

I'm completely bewildered by the whole thing....the records simply don't indicate the existence of a "Joe Hayden", despite the testimony of Alonzo, Arthur Marshall and, probably others....unless I'm missing something.

Comments [from a Facebook discussion in Ragtimers Club] by Edward A Berlin, in part summarizing comments made by myself, Reginald Pitts and others about the “Putting Belle to Bed” article, edited for clarity

Is the St Louis City Directory listing for Sophronia Joplin in 1904 [as widow of Will Joplin] is proof that Scott Joplin’s brother Will had died? Researcher Reginald Pitts supplies several pieces of evidence that Will had not died and had lived into the 1920s.

Reg found a William Leon Joplin, born 1880, living in Detroit. The documents that Reg offers present several problems and inconsistencies, but these are not unusual in historic documents. For example, in the 1880 census of the Joplin family, Will appears as age 4, suggesting a birth year of 1876 or ’77.This contradicts William Leon’s claim of an 1880 birth . . . but people often lie about their age, suggesting they are younger (Scott Joplin did so consistently). A 1924 marriage record lists William Leon’s parents as Charles Joplin and Florence Hicks. As Reg points out, the name “Jiles” might sound to someone as “Charles”, accounting for an erroneous entry. But I don’t see how “Givens” can sound like “Hicks”. However, overriding these doubts and convincing me that the Detroit Will Joplin was Scott Joplin’s brother is the handwritten draft registration of 1918 on which this Will wrote that his father’s name was “Jiles” and that he lived in Little Rock. It is not likely that there were two William Joplins with fathers named “Jiles”. (I had actually found this document in 2011, but it had not registered in my mind and I had forgotten about it.)

But I came across something a few days ago that awakened the issue. I had been invited to write an article on Arkansas, and in researching came across this entry in the 1906 Little Rock directory: “Joplin Florence, widow Giles (c), res. 1211 Spring”. Is this evidence that Scott Joplin’s father Giles had died by 1906 and could not be the person named in the Detroit Will’s draft registration? Or does it mean that there were two women named Florence with husband’s named Giles (or Jiles) Joplin? (The two spellings are interchanged without distinction in various historic documents.) Such a coincidence would be equivalent to two men named Will Joplin having fathers named Giles.

I find a certain satisfaction in accepting this Florence Joplin as Scott Joplin’s mother. He had announced in Dec. 1903 that he was leaving Chicago to visit relatives in Texarkana (where his brother Monroe & a few others lived) and Hot Springs. His mother being in Little Rock would provide a reason for his having visited that city, also, where he met and married (in June 1904) Freddie Alexander. It might explain, also, why Joplin and Freddie had an AME Zion minister officiate at their wedding, for Florence Joplin lived across the street from the minister’s church (1200 Spring). She also lived next door to Charles Brooks (1209 Spring), who signed the marriage license.

But while this theory provides satisfying explanations, it also has substantial problems. The 1900 census shows Florence in Texarkana, Arkansas, living with her daughters Osie and Myrtle. Why would this 65-year-old woman have left Texarkana and moved to Little Rock? Perhaps Osie or Myrtle had married and moved there with her husband, and Florence went along. Without knowing the married name of the daughter, tracing becomes difficult. But the most significant problem is that the 1906 Texarkana directory has Giles living with Monroe. He was still living in 1905 (when the directory was probably compiled) and possibly in 1906 and later. Dating becomes crucial, for Giles may have died after his name was collected for the volume, but before the Little Rock data had been completed, thereby accounting for Florence’s widow status. Directories probably reflect the resident status of their respective towns and cities in the year prior to publication. [Bryan Cather pointed out that the significant stigma associated with divorce may have been the reason that both Sophorinia Joplin and Florence Givens Joplin listed themselves as widowed, even though they were divorced (or at least separated).]

Further research makes it clear that the Florence Joplin listed in the 1906 Little Rock directory is Scott Joplin’s mother. As I had suggested previously, one of the points supporting that conclusion is that Charles Brooks, a signatory on the wedding license of Scott Joplin and Freddie Alexander, lived next door to Florence. I’ve just found additional evidence linking them: Brooks had married Myrtle Joplin (one of Florence’s daughters and Scott Joplin’s sisters) in Texarkana, Arkansas, on 25 July 1901. So Florence moved to Little Rock to be with this daughter. That Florence listed herself in the directory as “widow of Giles” while Giles was living with their son Monroe in Texarkana, probably reflects (as Bryan Cather pointed out) the stigma attached to divorce.

Does that stigma of divorce also explain Sophronia Joplin’s listing as the widow of Will at a time that Will might still have been living? As to the question of whether William Leon Joplin living in Michigan was Scott Joplin’s brother, I am still bothered by the marriage record, in which his mother is recorded as Florence Hicks, and the death record, in which she is listed as Arene Hicks. However, I’ve just noticed something that supports the proposal that Willliam Leon Joplin was Scott Joplin’s brother: the Sedalia Capital, 11 Oct 1899, has an item about Scott Joplin’s brother performing in Sedalia with the Kentucky Rosebud Quartette. Will’s name is listed as W. L. Joplin.
