  my cat died today... i need consoling...

  by theinfamousone in

  2. friends

  this is the guy that sat on my razor blades the one time i was thinking of cutting myself... this is the guy that everytime my dad beat me, would come to my room and lay with me... this is the guy that one time jumped into the bathtub with me while i was crying after a brutal beating, the cat hated water... this is a cat that was more family to me than my own father and mother combined... this was my best friend... .

  today i had to do the hardest thing i ever did, i had to choose to have him put down... and as he fought the vet, and tried to bite her, i put my hand on his head, and he stopped struggling... and as they put the last needle into his leg, he purred until he died... the vet says she has never seen that before... this was my best friend and i had to kill him... fuck, im a baby, but i miss him soooo much.

  the infamous one.

  Golden Age Goodies

  by Leolaia in

  recently i had the pleasure to examine a stash of 1920s and 1930s golden age magazines, among the rarest of watchtower publications.

  i thought it would be a fun idea to have a thread in which i share with you some of the amazing, ridiculous, hilarious things contained therein.

  hence, this is the first post of a series of excerpts, scans, etc.

  I like that little dig at the beginning of the calendar articles--

  "This is no nonsense, or worse than nonsense from the Great Pyramid in Egypt..." LOL Take that Russell! Rutherford and Company would never put forth any nonsense, now would they!?!

  For all the work they put into it, they didn't really think through the practical every day use of their "Jehovah's Calendar." I wonder if anyone tried to use it. Great for a laugh. Thanks! And yet...it makes me really really sad and embarrassed that my great-grandfather and grandparents bought into this.

  thanks to apostanator i have received copies of the deeds and transfers to beth sarim.

  the pages are not the best quality so i have enhanced them to make sure we can read what they say.

  i have scanned them at 300dpi and initially saved them as tif files.

  Great Van Amburgh run-down, Leo! I wondered about the timing, as to whether or not the Boyds or Paulings could be connected with them in some way. But Ramsey and Rice Counties aren't even adjoining.:-( If there is a family connection, it will take more work to find....

  I just noticed that Van Amburgh was from Minnesota. Perhaps he knew the Boyds and/or Paulings from there...hmmm...

  P.S.--Just found this (it's not much to go on, but...):

  According to an entry at FamilySearch, a Victoria Pauling married a John K.S. Boyd on 04 July 1889, Black Hawk, Iowa.

  Hope I'm not reaching too much, but it just seemed to close to ignore, especially since in the 1930 census Victoria Boyd indicated that her father was born in Scotland--

  Victoria R. Boyd was 56 years old, thus born in 1873-1874 in Iowa, whose father was born in Scotland and whose mother was born in Canada (of English descent). She was widowed by 1930, and was 17 years old when she first was married (i.e. in 1890-1891). We know elsewhere that Bonnie Boyd was born in 1898-1899 (as she was 31 years old in 1930) in Iowa, so this makes her mother a native of Iowa as well. This finding will hopefully open the door to new avenues of research on Bonnie's family history....

  And knowing how accurate some of the census takers' info has been (through other research), it seemed possible to me that the "male" notation for Lenore Rankine/Pauline in the census was mistaken. Especially since John Boyd would have been too young at that time to have a son-in-law. Also, mightn't the R in Victoria R actually be a P? At any rate, I'm happy to let it go if you think it can be safely ruled out.

  Have you checked out the Marjorie Boyd that was in New York in 1920? Probably not her as I think there are a couple listed, but maybe worth checking and ruling out.

  Ah! And it suddenly occurs to me that the barely legible Lanora RANKINE (in a previous census), s-in-law, is actually Lanora PAULING (see Nora PAULING in the 1880 census above), Victoria's sister and, therefore, John BOYD's sister-in-law!

  I know this little tidbit isn't worth much, but I think I found Victoria Boyd's parents in the 1880 census (or did Leo already find them?...my head is still spinning with all the info):

  In Waterloo, Blackhawk, Iowa, 1st Ward, 1880, was a household consisting of--

  John PAULING, a tailor, born in Scotland ~1839
  Anice, his wife, born in Canada ~1845
  May, daughter, born in Canada ~1864
  Georgia, daughter, born in Illinois ~1866
  John, son, born in Iowa ~1868
  Margaret, daughter, born in Iowa ~1870
  Victoria, daughter, born in Iowa ~1872
  Nora, daughter, born in Iowa ~1874
  Charles, son, born in Iowa ~1879
