INTERESTING FACTS REVEALING THE TRUE IDENTITY OF INDIA'S 'PARTY OF PERENNIAL SUSPENDED ANIMATION' - THE CONGRESS PARTY! - WAS CREATION OF 'MAHATMA' A ORGANIC INDIAN THING, OR ENTIRELY MANUFACTURED BY BRITISH, AS A PUPPET DIVINITY, AS THEIR SHIELD FOR EMERGENCIES? -BRITAIN'S MOST LOYAL POLICEMAN!

A. Historian Kapil Kumar has official orders of British State Govt of Madhya Pradesh (then Central Provinces), from Sept 1938, 9 yrs before Independence, stating, "HENCEFORTH, ALL DOCUMENTS SHALL REFER TO GANDHI AS 'MAHATMA' "

Incidentally, Feb 1938 is the momentous occasion when Subhas Chandra Bose (btw ,the first & only Indian politician to ever publicly challenge & put to vote Gandhi's rote Dominion status demand,in Cong's 1928 Convention), defeats Gandhi's candidate Sittaramaiah by a thumping margin to assume Presidentship of Congress for the first time, in the Congress Convention in Madhya Pradesh itself! ... Upon which Gandhi writes a infamous telegram to Bose who'd just returned after 5 yr forced exile in Europe, saying "Welcome Home. God give you strength to bear the weight of Jawaharlal's mantle". ..

Gandhi & Nehru, the 2 pre-decided blue-eyed boys, chosen ones of British Govt, were in Gandhi's head, the owners of Congress or what?

Too much to be coincidence all this, eh?

BTW, DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONGRESS PARTY (CONGRESS PARTY FORMED IN ~1886) IN 1910, AS ALSO IN 1889 BEFORE IT, WAS A BRITISH NATIONAL, A SECRETARY OF THE BRITISH GOVT ITSELF, SIR WILLIAM WEDDERBURN! ..... ALSO, THE CONGRESS PARTY WAS FOUNDED IN ~1886 ITSELF BY A SECRETARY TO THE BRITISH GOVT, A BRITISH NATIONAL NAMED SIR ALLAN HUME, WHO SAW 1857 AS A RESULT OF 'BRITISH MISGOVERNANCE', & SOUGHT TO SMOOTHEN BRITISH-INDIA TIES, VIA SUCH BRIDGES!

No colonial Govt would, quite clearly as seen here, go out of it’s way to deify the biggest leader of it’s slave nation, supposedly opposing such colonial rule, unless such person were actually subtly helping than harming their cause.

And 1st time they use this shield of theirs vs Bose, is as Bose wins re-election as Cong Prez defeating Gandhi's man in Nov 1939, when Gandhi publicly states "This is my defeat", & entire CWC, many of whom would've voted for Bose too, mysteriously mass resign, forcing Bose's ouster from Congress!

Bose then writes to his brother Sarat, "This latest phase of Gandhism with its sanctimonious hypocrisy, is sickening to a degree. One is forced to wonder which is a greater menace to India's political future-The British Bureaucracy or The Gandhian Hierarchy". ... Further writing, “The more I think of Congress politics, the more convinced I feel that in future we should devote more energy & time to fighting the High Command. If power goes into the hands of such mean, vindictive & unscrupulous persons when Swaraj is won, what will happen to the country! Another reason why we should fight them now is that they have no idea of national reconstruction. Gandhism will land free-India in a ditch - if free India is sought to be rebuilt on Gandhian, non-violent principles. India will then be offering a standing invitation to all predatory powers.”

That US's CIA/OSS in 1942, in their official internal documents, available with historian Anuj Dhar, confirms our logical belief to, stating 'British influences' infact caused this ouster of 1939 !

Further insight on these 'British Influences' in CIA report, over why Bose ousted from Cong in 1939 available below: K.M. Munshi, Home Min Bombay, writes in his book, how was then sent with British Secret Intelligence Reports to Gandhi, over Bose meeting German officials when in Bombay in Dec 1938, and later contacting German Consul Calcutta, over an arrangement of German help in Indian freedom, in return for being able to rely on Bose if war broke out).

How can a ruling colonial power show sensitive top secret documents on India's national security, to a leader of the political outfit of a slave nation, supposedly meant to oppose such rule & bring freedom from it, unless knew such political outfit to be working in their favor & not harm. in other practical words, a political outfit designed to keep rebellious activity simmering yet never near any certain critical level, taking a leaf outta one of India's oldest idioms - "Saap bhi mar jaaye aur laathi bhi na toote".

And going with the ideology of Congress founder, Allan Hume, namely of looking at the strife of the subjects of a enslaved foreign nation as nothing but bad management by it's owners.

A small but seering eg of the above, presented below- India's 1st Governor-General (changed only in name & not position from his earlier post as Viceroy, as you shall soon find) Mountbatten, in his book 'Reflections on The Transfer of Power & Jawaharlal Nehru', openly admits to his overlording position in so-called Fee India, narrating an incident when PM Nehru comes to him for mandatory approval over some critical legislation, reading which he instantly blurts "has the entire Cabinet gone crazy", hearing which Nehru quietly submits, "I have got the hint. The legislation shall not be passed", calls his Cabinet, relays the communique, & upon entire cabinet not relenting & beseeching him to get it signed, (indicating how it could only have been something very critical), roars "Mountbatten loves India as much as you & me. And his words, frankly, mean much more to me than all of you".

As if not more than enough, further revealing in his book, of events on the day of 'Transfer of Power', Aug 15, 1947, where per (Independence, as told to all India) protocols, was supposed to have The Union Jack lowered from the flagstaff & Independent India's tricolor hoisted in its place, & Mountbatten told Nehru "I will feel very sad if see the Union Jack getting lowered", to which Nehru replied, "We do not want anyone feeling sad today", & has the Tricolor hoisted on different pole parallel to The Union Jack instead! Do you know THERE ARE NO PICTURES ANYWHERE, OF NEHRU HOISTING THE TRICOLOR OF AUG 15, 1947, TILL TODAY! .. AND WE NOW KNOW PRECISELY WHY! Omg!

But Gandhi, before Nehru, as ‘the chosen one’ for this glamorous high profile duty, can be dated back to much before him landing in India.

Below are recounted just 2 brazen contradictory stands taken by the same man who made a name as the apostle of non-violence at all costs. Fist from his time in South Africa, & second much later when in India.

GANDHI - THE CUNNING POLITICIAN . 1. THE SOUTH AFRICAN GANDHI - Shocked to find certain facts about Mahatma Gandhi, from a book titled 'The South African Gandhi', by Desai & Vahed, which has actual quotes from Mahatma Gandhi urging Indians to FIGHT for the British during the Boer war of WW1 when in South Africa, even more ghastly being the reasons purportedly advocated by him for the same, namely, "To give Indians an opportunity at a thorough training in actual warfare"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZOmt7hmd-4 https://twitter.com/rishibagree/status/983600498166128641 __ Further corroborated by these articles, which speaks of the columns written by Mahatma Gandhi when in South Africa, advocating recruitment of soldiers, in the fight against black resistance there, people he went on to call "kaafirs"! (And I'm sure the veracity of these info can be easily established given that it's core is based on actual newspaper editions) IF TRUE, again corroborating the duplicitous bigotry, which comes across as a regular feature, esp as alleged by a certain section of society, in his politics. http://www.mysteryofindia.com/2014/07/gandhi-was-racist-part-2.html __ As also this historians' interview, unraveling several such document-verifiable & many own published letters & printed quotes-verifiable instances, allegedly per them exposing the same continuous duplicity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIiY1xPxPtE & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyRYKj1J_90 __ IF TRUE, this seems to expose all his later non-violent yrs in India, to be some sort of a sham, so as to keep British rulers in India safe from any local uprisings. This, given all the rest of the findings we've already blogged on previously here. https://tooter.in/IndieSole/posts/108611988817146626 https://tooter.in/IndieSole/posts/108887615159759044 https://tooter.in/IndieSole/posts/108941277554901650 ___ ( PS. When we critically appraise our pre-independence leaders, we ofcourse do not nullify their big sacrifice in going to jail for yrs, & several times so, alongside lakhs such freedom fighters. Also in this context > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4lQRX6Cxig&list=LL&index=3 ) But given the heavily contradictory intent displayed in past, try put things in perspective, ofcourse per our perspective based on info available till today, & if more facts disproving above info is brot to light, would be most happy to incorporate the same & amend our critique.

2. KHILAFAT...OF WHAT? A key presentation, by noted historian Abhijit Chavda, on 'The Turkish origins of India's partition'. Also clandestinely & indirectly, continuing to ask the same old qu, that has bothered onlookers for past 75 yrs- "Was Gandhi inherently a pro-Muslim or Muslim-biased British secularist"? All revolving around the invasion & takeover by the great military general Mustafa Kemal ie Ataturk, of the Ottoman Caliphate ie the last of 4 Islamic Caliphates, Islamic Caliphates that ruled & overlorded over the combined region of South-Eastern Europe, North Africa & West Asia, for ~1300 yrs, from early 600's to early 1900's. Gandhi was so seemingly agitated by this world event totally disconnected from his part of the world, that he pushed the entire Indian populace into opposing such a destruction of this supposedly revered Caliphate structure, that almost entire nation of India wasn't even aware of, infact a support that most Hindu accounts of the time divulge as having been procured on the sly, in guise of this "Khilafat (Urdu for 'Opposition') Movement" phrasology, making it sound like some routine anti-British movement. Ironically enuf, twas Mr. Jinnah,a totally diff politician in 1920s to what associated with few yrs later by 1940s, who then opposed Gandhi,for unnecessarily dividing Indian masses along religious lines,& sowing hardline religious positions among the populace. Yet twas blind following of Gandhi, that'd cruelly thrown Jinnah into wilderness,that forced him to change his soulful political style,into the conniving cunning ruthless politician of few yrs later,fashioned ala Ataturk, to be "Father of Pak",as Gandhi had become for Indians,& Mustafa Kemal for Turks. Tis another matter,Kemal,totally transformed his nation,by disbanding every trace of previous Islamic structure,into one o' most curious nations ever-with completely Muslim popn,yet completely non-Islamic system. That's when,curiously enuf,Gandhi's oppn to it too stopped. While Jinnah,based his partition,into Ind & Pak,solely along Islamic lines,& rule of Sharia law,only way for him to justify partition.And ofcourse none know what steps Mr. Jinnah could've taken,being true moderate secularist at heart,as most who knew him all his life vouch for,with dust settled,& his place in pantheon of world leaders permanently estd,to be more along Turkey's exalted lines,a nation he'd come to greatly admire by then,by every known acc,since passed away soon after Pak's founding.. But key contentions- Why did Gandhi support Christian(Turk Ottoman was 1/3rd Chr)defense of Ottoman,but opposed Hindu defense to Muslim aggression in Ind,as seen many times? Why was he openly in favor of Jinnah or Nehru for Ind's PM'ship,but opposed Patel tooth & nail,after Brits left? If he was against violence,why volunteered Ind help to Brits in WWI,& not opposed the war as his morality demanded? Pft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erxm70VGjfE

3. THE QUIT INDIA "SHAM"-

Gandhi as an explanation (read apology) to the British for the violence after his arrest over his 1942 resolution over 'Quit India', which many believe to have been compulsively & competitively triggered, by Bose's moving radio broadcasts to the nation from Germany in 1942 , elucidates in late 1943-

a. The aim of Quit India resolution was to bring about conditions under which India could effectively participate in the war efforts of the Allies. Which would for most part mean the running over of Japan.

b. The Congress had no plan for any big movement. The only person authorized to start civil disobedience (Gandhiji) was arrested before he could issue any instructions. (So you see there was no technical call for 'Civil Disobedience' given by Gandhiji at all, a movement that has been tom-tommed in Indian history books to the hilt!)

And now for the mind-twisting clincher! :

c. Gandhiji had not asked for the physical withdrawal of the British from India. What he had asked for was the withdrawal of British power, not of individual Englishmen!

(Come to think of it, that's same as 'Transfer of power to Dominion of Britain' isn't it, which we finally got in 1947, that too only in part!)

4. THE "PRO-HARIJAN" FARCE ! Despite talking about 'Harijan upliftment' as a goal of Hindu life, there is not a single recorded statement of his in all 30+ yrs in India asking for the labor wage increase of ~99% of Harijans ie Farmers of India! On the contrary, in rallies like in Faizabad to protest clear blatant mass exploitation by landlords, publicly asks all the farmers to bear these atrocities, as "we are fighting a bigger landlord". Hah! Similarly, another of many such stories,in official communique in AICC files,with historian Kapil Kumar,from 1931 Rae Bareli incident,when Cong District office bearer Kalka Prasad,is ousted from his post,by Nehru,designated to it via official letter by Gandhi,for "being irresponsible" in asking for illegally taken over farmlands by Talukdars to be returned back(via recorded silent sit-in protest btw).

Moreover, when the demand for a separate electorate for the depressed classes was raised in 2nd Round Table Conference in 1930, Harijans being foremost, a demand allowing then so-called Untouchables to have separate reserved constituencies, with Untouchable candidates to be selected by Untouchable voters from these seats to look specifically into their issues for alleviation, Gandhi rejected it outright, & refused to budge, even undertaking fast unto death, when after lotsa drama, agreed to a Poona Pact with Ambedkar next year in 1931, that too only to extent of allowing more representation for Untouchables in Legislature ie that these winning candidates didn't have to be from or have won from Untouchable constituencies but from anywhere & elected by anyone, most likely the 'modernized' Untouchable legislators from non-Harijan areas, reasonable to assume not as concerned about Harijan cause. If ever a more anti-Harijan Harijan leader, than Gandhi! Btw,a demand for separate electorate for Muslims, far from depressed class, of course agrees upon! THE MOST FAMOUS ANTI-HINDU LEADER IN INDIAN HISTORY!

COMPARATIVE PRISON TREATMENTS:

(Furthermore, do you know that Gandhi would receive huge sums as prison allowance when in jail, ranging from Rs. 100/month in 1930, increased to Rs. 555 per month by 1943 when imprisoned in the Aga Khan Palace of all places no less! Also would have their own cooks in jail, for cooking special food per their physical necessity.

While Savarkar on the contrary was in Kala Pani jail, had each & every item of his house taken away from his family, with family made to literally beg on the streets of a society that was made to excommunicate them by the clever Congress aided ploy of tagging revolutionary freedom fighters as criminals. And in the 13 yrs of subsequent District arrest in Ratnagiri, had all his means of livelihood incl his degrees taken away from him, & only after long official written deliberations given Rs. 60 per month as family allowance when living with his wife & 3 children for a 8 yr period of that 13 yr house arrest (not jail), far far lesser than his contemporaries similarly house-arrested in Bengal too btw.

Chapter XII: Cyrus, Dora, and the last of the Packards

In April 1878, the life of 26-year-old Plainfield-born man, Cyrus Winfield Packard, less than 10 years before his father, William H., would die, would change. Recently requested photocopies of Cyrus’s marriage records from the Massachusetts State Archives indicate that Cyrus was a farmer living in Cummington, Massachusetts, a town of Hampshire County, marrying a 15- or 16- year old woman named Nellie Mason. [265] Nellie, born in August 1861, was the daughter of Eurotas/Erastus Mason and his wife Jane, had lived in the town of Cummington for her whole life. The following year, the newlyweds were living in Easthampton, Massachusetts, within the same county. Cyrus as a farmhand and Nellie, taking the last name of Packard, as a servant for the Penderwood family. [266] At some point, Cyrus and Nellie decided to have a baby. Less than nine months later, on February 13, Nellie would die at the tender age of 19, from German measles and typhoid fever, while giving childbirth. [267] With the death of Nellie, Cyrus moved on, leaving her in the dust.

On November 21, two months after purchasing 112 acres in Plainfield from William L. Packard and gaining the farm in Plainfield with a stand of maple sugar trees, he married again, like many Packards before him. This was to a woman named Dorothy “Dora” (or Dory) Ann Mills in Glens Falls, New York, the town in which she was born.

Dora, who worked in a shirt factory (1880) and as a teacher (1870) in the past, had lived in Warren County, New York since June 1, 1849, when she was born, approximately. [268] While her gravestone says she was 38 years, 10 months old at the time of her death, the 1850 and 1860 U.S. Federal Censuses show a woman named “Dorothy A. Mills” or “Dory Mills” as born in 1849 or 1850. The reasons for why she would say she was younger than she actually was are not currently known. [269] Dora was the daughter of John Rand Mills and Margaret Bibby and had six living siblings by 1881, living in Chester, Bolton, Glens Falls, within Warren County, New York. [270] Dora’s parents are worth noting. John Rand Mills, born in Ireland, in Sept. 1804, immigrated to the United States by 1830, marrying Margaret Ann Bibby, born in the same part of Ireland.

Over the following years, Dora and Cyrus had seven children with the last name of Packard. They include John Henry (Oct. 15-1882-Oct. 28, 1950), Margaret Alice (Jan. 27, 1884-Aug. 4, 1976), Joseph Winfield (Jun. 17, 1885- Mar. 9, 1910), Charles Edward (May 5, 1887-Nov. 4, 1960) or “Uncle Charlie,” Marion Estelle (Feb. 12, 1889-Jun. 13, 1965), Robert Barnabas (Jan. 19, 1891-Apr. 11, 1956), later becoming Robert Byron Mills II, and Mabel Hattie (b. July 19, 1892) who died on Dec. 1, 1961. [271] John H. would never marry, and Margaret would marry a man named Kenneth Brown in 1913, having one daughter and two sons. As for Joseph, he was an unmarried man reportedly killed while working on the railroad. “Uncle Charlie” married to Bertha Churchill in 1919 with whom he had a child named Douglas M. Packard, and two daughters. In 1940, Charlie remarried to Pearl Gleason. Marion married Edward Dean in 1908, living in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and John Nocker in 1954, and may have had two children from her first marriage (as stated in 1930 and 1940 censuses). Mabel H., buried at West Hill Cemetery in Plainfield, Massachusetts, married first to Giles Whitley with whom she had four children (Giles, Margaret, Harold, and Frances), and second, in 1920, to Joseph T. Landstrom, having six children (Dorothy, Barbara, Phyllis, Joseph (died as an infant at one year old), Alice, and Joan).

Little is known about the early life on the farm for these individuals. This is because the 1890 census was destroyed on January 10, 1921 when a fire swept the Commerce Department building, creating an “archivist's nightmare, with ankle-deep water covering records in many areas” destroying many of the records. [272] There are land records which relate to Cyrus and Dora. In one agreement, he mortgages (or sells?) 112 acres to Henry L. Goodrich. [273] This is likely the Packard farm. Later that month, Henry C. Packard purchases for Cyrus, from Goodrich, the same land. [274]

In 1891, B. Winslow wrote a poem for the 10th anniversary of Dora and Cyrus’s marriage on November 21, 1881. [275] The full poem tells about Dora and Cyrus’s marriage although it is unsurprisingly upbeat, as should be expected at least for the mores of the time:

It was November twenty-first In eighteen eighty one When Love had long enough been nursed Their married life begun.

The vows that then were made and sealed, In eighteen eighty one, From all that yet has been revealed Show all was then well done.

Ten years have passed of married life, And no talk of divorce; Showing a true and faithful wife, And husband, too, of course.

And children, well, there are a few, From union such as thus To bind them in affection true, And crown their wedded bliss.

Four sons, two daughters, fair and sweet, Have blessed this happy home; A present source of pride and joy, Their hope in years to come.

Labor and care have marked their lot, But health hath lent its cheer; So at their toil they've murmured not, Showing their love sincere.

They've shared each scene of joy and woe, And well redeemed the vow They made and sealed ten years ago. And which they honor now.

And their gathered in their home at night, Are friends of youth and age; And all is full of sweet delight, To write on mem'ry's page.

Fond mem'ry's page, on which they stand, Dear memories of the past; Hopes we have had and joys we've planned, That were too sweet to last;

Let us be thankful for them all, Nor at their loss repine And as God's future mercies fall, Hail those for us that shine;

And nobly bear each trial sent, In heart and spirit true; Thus may we have a calm content, Our life' brief journey through.

God bless the bride and bridegroom here, As long as life shall last; May they have memories fond and dear, Such as they have market the past.

Among them all will not be least The memories of this night, When friends invited here were to feast On memories fair and bright.

Despite this lack of records, there is one photograph shared by Dianne Blomquist on the “David Vallender family tree” on Ancestry, showing the family of Cyrus and Dora in Plainfield in 1892. The image shown on the next page shows the 7 children of both of them, providing a snapshot into their life and customs. This shows that the family was at least partially proper, although this image does not hint at their occupations. Other images of Dora and the family cannot be found, but there are photographs of all of their children at later ages, the same being the case for Cyrus as well.

While Cyrus’s face is not totally clear in the photograph, another one taken around the same time at Camp 55, shows Cyrus (along with Joseph Beals Jr.), listed a member of the Plainfield chapter of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW). The SUVCW are direct descendants from those “regularly mustered and served honorably in…honorably discharged from, or died in the service of…regiments called to active service…between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865.” [276] This means that Cyrus was wearing his father’s uniform, hat, & pants, with two medals already on the uniform or given as a part of his membership. Some context is necessary here. Joseph Beals, Jr., who lived with Hattie B. and Joseph Beals in 1900, would be dead by July 29, 1941 after living in Goshen for most of his life. Since Hattie was Dora’s sister, Joseph Beals Jr. would be his nephew. This would also explain why Cyrus was the informant for Joseph Beals, the husband of Hattie, who died in 1900.

Comparing three available photos, the rightmost one coming from another family history, shows that he was clean cut for this 1892 photograph:

On February 5, 1895, Dora died of tuberculosis (pulmonary phthisis) in Plainfield and was buried in Pottersville, part of New York’s Warren County, a town 35 miles north of her birth place, Glens Falls. This burial place was likely chosen to put in her grave in proximity with surviving family members. On May 11, 1895, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and Mountain Miller Women’s Relief Corps hosted a memorial service for Dora in West Cummington. There are religious messages, with some calling her a “devoted wife” and “earnest Christian woman” while those within the Relief Corps call her a “sister.” [277]

At the memorial service, likely all of her children were attending. One individual, Joseph Beals, who was Dora’s brother-in-law since he had married Dora’s sister (and his wife), Hattie, described Dora as “kind to everybody” and said that he knew Dora through her “sickness.” This was further cemented by the fact that he visited with Hattie 2-3 times a week, possibly indicating she was sick from 1889 (when Hattie and Joseph married) to 1895. Also at the memorial service a “Poem by Dora M. Packard” which was written in July 1894 was read. Using the clues noted in this pamphlet, it is clear that Dora was a member of the National Women’s Relief Corps. Specifically she was part of Corps No. 158 (Mountain Miller Corps) which was organized on November 22, 1892 and was based in Plainfield, meeting the first Friday of every month. [278] The National Women’s Relief Corps, which still exists to this day, was an auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War Veterans). It is a secret and “patriotic organization,” meetings held at least once a month, with applications (by those over 16 with "good moral character made in writing and vouched for with two members." [279]

More specifically it had (and has) the explicit purpose to perpetrate memory of the Grand Army of the Republic. As for the latter organization, it came about originally limited to “honorably discharged veterans of the Union Army, Navy, Marine Corps or the Revenue Cutter Service who had served between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865” and departments within the organization generally consisted of the Posts within a state and at the national level, with the organization operated by an elected “Commandery-in-Chief" The rituals at the meetings and induction ceremonies were “similar to the Masonic rituals,” used currently by the SUVCW, along with multi-day encampments (meetings) with the final Encampment held in Indianapolis in 1949. [280]

With Dora’s death, the Packard family split apart. Some were adopted by others, like Robert by Dora’s brother, Mabel by the Cosgrove family in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and Marian and Charles E. by the Beal family in Goshen, Massachusetts. [281] While the 1900 census was issued on June 16, another document claimed he died on June 10. The only reason for this discrepancy in dates means that either the census information was collected before June 10 or that Joseph died on a date after June 16.

With the family going different ways, few stayed with Cyrus. About 6 months after Dora died, he married again to Clementina Cheney. Coming from a well-established New England family, she stayed at home, while Cyrus was a carpenter. He wasn’t done having children. With Clementina he had 5 more children with the last name of Packard, putting his number of offspring at 12. [282] These children would be Olive Martha (October 23, 1896-January 20, 1969), Herbert Miles (October 1898 - August 30, 1966), Rachel May (April 13, 1900 - September 22, 1933), Thomas “Tom” Theodore Packard (May 2, 1902 - 1975), and Harold “Harry” Cyrus Packard (Apr. 24, 1907 – 1975). None ever married.

By 1900, only one of Cyrus’s children from his marriage with Dora would be living with him: John H. Packard who was working as a farm hand. As the head of the household, Cyrus lived on a mortgaged farm and was a carpenter. [283] Later censuses show that none of the children he had with Dora would be living with him. By 1910, he would be mortgaging the farm, but would be a general farmer, living in the same neighborhood as Henry C. Packard’s family. [284] 10 years later, he would own the farm which he had mortgaged for so many years, and be classified as a farmer, just like his sons Herbert & Thomas. Cyrus would later be a cemetery commissioner in Plainfield (in 1907 and 1911). [285]

Ten years later, in 1910, Hattie B., Dora’s sister, was still living in Goshen. [286] She was widowed (evidencing Joseph Beals’ death in 1900) , living with her daughter Edith, from her marriage with Hannibal, and a boarder named George A. Andrews. Two years later, on August 3, 1912, Hattie B. died of chronic vascular heart disease. She was called “Hattie B. Beals” on her gravestone. This same gravestone gives her wrong year of birth, meaning it is off by 11 years! [287]

Before his death, Cyrus would engage in a land transaction with A. H. Allen & Co. involving the 112-acre Packard farm in 1900, mortgage 100 acres of land to a Plainfield resident named Alden L. Torrey in 1905, with the same 100 acres, involved in a mortgage transaction with the Haydensville Savings Bank in 1909, mortgage the property with the same bank (or a different one?) in 1920, four years before his death, and let a company put up powerlines on his property in 1922. [288] In 1924, Cyrus would die, reportedly on April 2, after suffering from a brain tumor, and his wife one year earlier, in 1923. Cyrus, and many of his children, and wives were buried in West Hill cemetery in Plainfield. After Cyrus’s death, Tom took over the “old” Plainfield farm or “home farm” of Cyrus in 1925, buying it for $1,000 from the administrator of his estate, William A. Packard. [289]

Tom kept the farm running, although he wasn’t an “old type carpenter” like Cyrus, until December 1946, when a fire destroyed it, two months after the mortgage on the property was released. After that point, he bought property nearby, the Enoch Sanford homestead, operating it until his death. According to some of those at the Cummington Historical Museum, Tom was quite a character and a potato farmer (with Green Mountain potatoes) but he had a tendency to burn down his barns time and time again. Later he would be a selectman, head the Plainfield Republican Committee, and be a town historian (helping found the Plainfield Historical Society), take notes on local cemeteries. [290] Harold, on the other hand, helped out in the local community, in terms of carpentry and other tasks. The images after this paragraph, in this chapter, show Cyrus, Tom, Mabel, Rachel, Olive, and Marion in later life. In later years, Tom would run “Packard’s store” in Plainfield, still remembering his “late” father, Cyrus. [291]

For the past year I've been promising Harry Kezelian that I would update the essay accompanying the Canary album of the November 1917 sessions of Kemany Minas to reflect new, detailed biographical research he has done that supersedes the narrative that we'd previously published based on work he did with Harout Arakelian .

The arrival of a disc from those sessions including two solo taxims by instrumentalists who appear on the Minas recordings and a bout of insomnia have prompted me to finally follow through on my promise. Below are the revised notes summarizing Harry's amazing work. For a decade, I said that we will never know who Kemany Minas was, since the name Minas is common and “kemany” simply means “great violinist." I said that there was no way to find such a person. Well, that turned out to be wrong.

In 2018, Harout Arakelian and Harry Kezelian located a group of documents that clearly show a great many details of a life that appeared at first to have been Kemany Minas. His biography, based on those documents goes something like this:

He was born in Arabkir, Harput (present-day Arapgir, Malatya, Turkey) on June 15, 1862. He used two names, neither of them his exact birthname. The first, Minas J. Kousanian, is derived from the Armenian for “troubadour,” kousan. The other, Minas K. Jeremy is apparently an Anglicization of his family name. He arrived in New York City on October 20, 1895 and moved to Massachusetts around November 2 of that year. His wife Zanazan (maiden name Ajemian) was also born in Harput around 1858. Their son Harry was born September 22, 1889 and played violin. When he was naturalized on December 1, 1906, he was living in Malden, MA and was a rubber worker (as were both of his witnesses), likely at the Boston Rubber Shoe Company, founded by Marquis Mills Converse. (He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge in Malden.)

He died, aged 58, on June 3, 1918, about six months after these recordings were made pernicious anemia. (His son Harry died of tuberculosis June 23, 1920. Another son, Karekin, born in 1897 died in 1898.)

But then at the end of 2019, Kezelian turned up for information about another Minas entirely.

Minas Chaghatzbanian, born ca. 1887 in Malatya, arrived in the U.S. July 13, 1913 and headed at the time of his arrival to Providence, Rhode Island. By 1914, he was living in Boston and performing at the Arevelyan Srjaran (Oriental Coffeehouse) operated by Bedros Boyajian on Harrison Ave. A June 24, 1914 ad in the Armenian-language newspaper Azk (The Nation) discovered and translated by Kezelian reads: "In the coffeehouse, the famed violinist Mr. Minas Chaghatzbanian will play choice Oriental pieces. Call the Chaghatzbanian Band for weddings, picnics, and other celebrations." That performer coincidentally happens to have died March 14, 1918 in Placer, Fresno County, California, only about four months after these recordings were made.

The two were born 25 years apart in adjacent, regions. Kezelian, who has an exceptional understanding of both late-Ottoman geography and repertoire, is utterly convinced that Chaghatzbanian is the Kemany Minas of the recordings and he has presented a great deal of important detail in support of his feelings. I am deferential to his expertise. Ultimately, the resolution of the question hinges on two factors:

1) Their ages. Are we listening on these recordings to a man who is 30 years old or are we listening to a man who is 55 years old? and 2) Their repertoire. Would a man of 55 have had a repertoire that included what Kezelian has described as the “hit parade of Istanbul ca. 1910?” And then, what exactly is the relationship of the performer to the historical event described in the song “Eghin Havasi?”

The answers to both questions would seem to indicate that 30-year-old Minas Chaghatzbanian made these recordings and moved to California and died in the four months that followed having made them. Minas’s powerful recording of “Eghin Havasi,” the ballad of the September 15, 1896 massacre of Armenians in the village of Egin (present-day Kemaliye) near the Euphrates by the Ottoman military, was an enduring hit and likely one of the two best-selling recordings in Turkish in the U.S. during the early 20th century (along with Achilleas Poulos's 1926 recording "Nedem Gedem Amerikaya"), having gone through several pressings and staying in print for 15 years into the early 1930s. The tragedy it memorializes included the burning of two thirds of the Armenian homes of the village of Egin and the killing of 1,500 of its residents. Egin was not far from where Minas was raised. The tragedy occurred one year after Kousanian arrived in the U.S. and 17 years after Chaghatzbanian arrived; Chaghatzbanian would have been about 9 or 10 years old at the time of the catastrophe.

Kemany Minas first recorded at the December 5, 1916 sessions for the Victor Records sessions of Karekin Proodian, where he made six sides an accompanist and a further half-dozen as a soloist. In November 1917, he and the oudist Garabet Merjanian collaboratively recorded a total of 19 sides over several sessions for Columbia at their Woolworth Building studio, of which we present here 14 sides along with two improvisations by performers who apparently attended the first of the recording sessions and one of who played on two of the Minas-Merjanian sides.

Harry Kezelian has identified the clarinetist Takis Zakas as Mesrob Takakjian who continued to perform on records through the 20s as a duo with the Greek lauto player M. Gaganes and likely performed through the 30s. The other player, credited as Tamoury Looder, Kezelian says, was Looder (Luther) Hampartzoumian who arrived at about age 20 in the U.S. from a village in Kayseri on Dec. 27, 1908, having left behind a wife. His career was in repairing oriental rugs. He served briefly in the U.S. armed services in WWI but was dismissed as an "enemy alien," because he was still a citizen of the Ottoman Empire. His wife died in the genocide in 1915. In 1920, he went to Smyrna and remarried a woman named Sara with whom he had a daughter named Annitsa. The family survived the Great Fire of Smyrna in September 1922 and moved to New York in November of that year, where he changed his surname to Artinian, and settled the family on East 27th St. in the heart of what was then Little Armenia. By 1930, they moved to Queens, where he continued to perform through at social functions. Kezelian points out that his instrument on the only two sides on which he performed was not a classical tambour but a folk variant, generically referred to as a saz. Looder died July 20, 1951.

Commercial Turkish language recording in the U.S. only began in 1912 and by about 1919, both major companies – Victor and Columbia – had ceased recording Turkish-language material. Several independent labels run by Armenians quickly entered the marketplace and continued to present the community's music on discs. These performances, recorded acoustically six years before the invention of microphones, are presented here simply in the order in which they were recorded.

okay y’all, I did some math (while I cannae do math) and came to a conclusion; please support me in finding out Frey’s and McGray’s birthdays!

So on Nov 9 in 1888 Frey is 31yo, means he was born between Nov 10 1856 and Nov 8 1857 (can’t believe I have to write down a whole year, my poor son, we donae ken anything)

On June 24 1883 McGray is 25yo, means he could have been born between June 25 1857 and June 23 1858

This gives us a span of about 4 month in which Frey and McGray could have been born at the same time (June 25 1857 to Nov 8 1857) but on Dec 13 1889 Frey states McGray is 1 year younger than himself, which brings us to a simple conclusion.

McGray can only be born between Dec 14 1857 and June 23 1858 (a span of about 6 month which still is much but better than the whole year I had to note down for Frey).

#frey and mcgray #a case for frey and mcgray #ian frey #adolphus mcgray #oscar de muriel #y'all help me out here did I do the math right #also if ou found anything ANYthing I didn't that could help finding out tell me #I'm sorry it's the obsession #I donae control the SpIn it controls me #mr de muriel gimme some answers pls #to inform y'all I'm still not finished with DotS cause I'm me #I literally cannae bring myself to finish cause it would mean waiting a year

Headcannons about Lilly Mae James

I know nobody really asked about these (apart from the wonderful @sebthur of course) but here’s the first of many headcannons I have about my Red Dead Online oc (Prepare to be bored senseless)

Life before the Van der Linde gang

Lilly's parents met when her father (a 30 something year old conman, but nowhere as talented as Hosea) planned to swindle a 40 something year old widow by marrying and absconding with her wealth. This plan fell apart when he encountered the widow's daughter (then aged about 19) and fell in love. They eloped, with baby Lilly arriving around 9 months later in Dec 1873

She was born Elizabeth Mae (named after her mother - who she was the spitting image of) and was nicknamed Lizzie by her parents. As she grew up though she couldn't quite pronounce it and instead called herself Lilly

Lilly's mother died in childbirth when she was about 4, so was brought up solely by her father

They spent most of her childhood moving about the mid west

When Lilly was about 12 her father was struggling to provide for the two of them - he reluctantly got back in contact with her grandmother (who had since remarried and was living on an old plantation with her new, very rich but very mean husband)

Always one to see an opportunity Lilly's father haggled & effectively sold his own daughter for $50 dollars (but she didn't find this out until she was 15 after going through Grandmother’s letters)

Grandmother doted on & spoilt Lilly, but wished she'd be more of lady (years of roaming the land made Lilly a bit more of a tomboy who preferred adventure rather than a girl sitting demurely around the house waiting for potential suitors to pop by)

When Grandma died around 1889, Step grandfather didn't want to look after Lilly and had plans to get rid of her.

Around the same time Dutch and Hosea had gotten wind of a rich old miser who treated his workers poorly & possibly had a stash of money on his property

They at first befriend him posing as a business partners looking for investors in a mine they're interested in buying (While this was going on Lilly spots Arthur & John scoping out the grounds from her bedroom window)

Lilly enters the room to question Grandfather about intruders just as he's turning down the fake deal.

“I won't part with my money, but if you want an investment take the girl. I'm sure you can earn at least a dollar a night from her - 'cause that's all she'll ever be good for"

A few nights later the gang rob the place and Lilly stumbles across them in the hallway. Frightened she'll alert somebody John goes to tie her up - only for her to offer to show where a the goods are hidden.

Her only request is that they help her escape too.

Unsure what to do, Arthur & John bring her to Hosea & Dutch who are more than happy to accept her into the gang. (“We save them that need saving”)

#the day has come #rdr2 headcanons #my oc: lilly mae james #red dead redemption 2 #red dead online #sorry but I will be boring you all with these #but there maybe more to come #just ignore my ramblings #need to get them off my chest
