Hine Havenar Twentieth Annual Double Birthday Celebration

Susan G. Stanbrough Hine (75) and Mrs. W. E. Havenar (60)’s Twentieth Annual Double Birthday Celebration October 3, 1926. Taken at William E. Havenar’s home. If you are friends with any Hine, Stanbrough, Bucklin, Phenice, Keys, or Havenar descendants on please share this with them.  If you can help with the names, leave a comment.

The first photo I found of this celebration was at Ruth Bucklin Bruchhaus’ home in a frame and had the date written on the back.  Since then, we have found more shots from the get together as well as a newspaper article. You can click each photo and the article to make them bigger. If the newspaper isn’t large enough to read on your screen, it has been retyped in the first comment below. I posted negatives and another print from this celebration, here.

George O. Hine and Friends

George Hine and FriendsTaken around 1902.

Edessa Havenar, George O. Hine, Lucille Ritter, and Harry Harbert are then names of the subjects given on the photo.

Edessa was the daughter of Jennie (Mrs. W. E.) Havenar who was the subject of the Birthday Celebration from 1926.  She married Leonard Keys in 1907 and they had five children, including Edith Keys Segraves, the famed family historian.

George O., better known as Ollie, was a bachelor for most of his life.  I guess he waited until the right one came along.

Lois Lucille Ritter, who I like to call Lucy, married Edessa Havenar’s brother Don Elting Havenar in 1909.  They had three children who were teenagers at the time of the birthday celebration.  Lucy is labeled as “Lucille Havenar” in the birthday post.

Harry is part of a family that came from Illinois. If you looked at the newspaper clipping for the birthday post, you will see a few Harberts named. Harry is the brother to the J. Frank Harbert listed there.  There is more information about the Harbert family here.


July 4, 2017 update by Van

I’ve recently come across more information about the people in this photo.  Come to find out, Edessa and Ollie were an item at the time this photo was taken.  I always thought they looked like two couples, but didn’t want to imply anything that wasn’t based on anything but a hunch.

1902 photo of Edessa Havenar, Ollie Hine, Lucy Ritter, and Harry Harbert.

1902 photo of Edessa Havenar, Ollie Hine, Lucy Ritter, and Harry Harbert.

I was corresponding with a 2nd cousin of my mom’s through the Keys family.  I descend from Daisy Keys and she descends from Daisy’s older brother Leonard (she is the daughter of Edith Keys Segraves spoken about in the original posting).  When I showed her this edited photo, she asked me if Ollie had married late in life or after his mother died.

This puzzled me.  I asked her how she knew that.  She said that her grandmother Edessa had dated a guy when she was younger but broke up with him because he was such a mama’s boy.  She had to have been talking about Ollie who lived with his mom until she died.  I think it was only after she died that he got married.

Raymond School in 1902 with teacher Mabel Keys

Then my cousin brought me some old photos to scan and she had one of the Raymond School that dated from 1902.  The school was taught by Daisy’s younger sister Mabel and these four characters were her students.  I believe Mabel is standing in the middle of the photo with a dark dress and a white collar.  The tallest guy in the class is standing just behind her.  See if you can make out the four from the other photo.   If you want to try without the hint, look now.  I recognized them, but then I noticed that they were wearing the same clothes and they were in front of the same building as in the original photo.  So it looks like the photos were taken in 1902.

 

 

4K Koll Brand

4K Koll BrandEsther Koll told Lola the 4K brand was for the four Koll brothers.  Effie Whittington’s research says that Henry Fredrick Kohl helped four of his sons purchase their own land.  John, Henry, Peter, and Fred each purchased 300 acres.  She didn’t know what Bill and Edward purchased.  Henry gave his daughters cash in the same amount he gave his sons.  The Kolls came to Louisiana February 18, 1900.

This photo shows the letters backwards, but when branded on the cattle, it would appear as 4K.

 

Clement and Bucklins

Clement and Bucklins at Cameron iphoneMy parents and I went to visit cousins in Hathaway. They had some old photos I had never seen before. This one is from 1941 with mom and her sisters in it. My mom was not too happy to see this photo. It was at the beach and she said that she almost drowned when she went swimming and has been afraid of the water ever since. This did not stop her from teaching us to swim and to not be afraid of the water. What a good mama.

Joseph posted a better scan here.

Easter Fun Through the Ages

That crummy, dummy Easter Bunny left no eggs for me,
That crummy, dummy Easter Bunny hopped right by with glee!
I tracked him to my neighbor’s house and stood outside his door,
And when I saw that Bunny head, I knocked it to the floor.
I tied up all his whiskers and macramed his ears.
I sat down in my rocking chair and drank three beers.

———–by Betty Lou Bucklin Landry and Van Landry

 

This is my standard Easter post of a poem my mom wrote many years ago. For those who are paying attention, I have added two lines this year. I always thought it was missing something between hopping right by my house and me tying up his ears. How did I get to his ears to tie them up? Here is the answer! Conflict resolved.


Here are a few photos of my early Easters, before all the conflict with the Easter Bunny!

Ohio Normal University

Louis Charles Bucklin at Military Academy in Ada, Ohio.

Ray Bucklin (former 1st Lt Bucklin) thinks the 4th in the front row is Louis. “The military would have probably lined them up in alphabetical order.  I have spent a lot of my life third or fourth in line.”  I thought that one looked similar to Louis’s later photo so Ray is probably right.

Ada Ohio

Louis came home after his sister Jennie died around June 1893. I Googled the name on the flag and found it was Ohio Normal University (now Ohio Northern University).

I found Louis listed in two year books on ONU’s website:
1892-93
1893-94

Page 71 of both yearbooks list L. C. Bucklin from Calcasieu Co., LA in the Commercial Course Department.

Page 29 gives you a description of the Commercial College.  I always wondered why he went to a military school, but that was just part of it.  That page says, “There is nothing in which you can engage that will not call for a business knowledge.”  That made me realize he must have gone there for the business education which would help him him run the farm.

The first part of the year books about the school are really interesting.  Page 10 tells about the advantages over other schools, including nutritious food and electricity.

You can read about the military department of the university here.
