|
| 21611 | Orphaned by age 12 and still residing in his native Austria when the Nazis overran his country in 1938, Fritz L. Kramer came to the United States in late 1939. (Earlier in the year, his passage on the ship Europa from Bremen, Germany, arriving in New York on April 7 1939, was canceled according to the original ship's manifest.) He worked on a farm in New Jersey the first summer. In the winter, he taught skiing at Vermont's highest mountain, Mount Mansfield, near Stowe. He was, in fact, the first paid patrolman of the Mt. Mansfield Ski Patrol, which was the nation's first ski patrol. His colleague there was Charles Minot "Minnie" Dole, who not only formed the National Ski Patrol, but also conceived the 10th Mountain Division of World War II fame, in which Fritz was an early enlistee. Fritz spent the winter of 1940-41 living in the Stone Hut on Mt. Mansfield's summit, making occasional trips to the base lodge for provisions and a hot shower. He gained notoriety by being the first patrolman to lead a toboggan down the Nose Dive Trail single-handedly. He is a member of the Vermont Ski Museum Hall of Fame. In an article in "Mt. Mansfield Skiing," April 6, 1942, the author observes: "How Fritz Kramer, anchorman for the Mt. Mansfield patrol, manages to keep so good natured is amazing. Despite having to lug around toboggans four times his size, and skiers four times his weight, he continues to remind us of a benevolent fieldmouse -- until he is called to help a hysteric woman. Hysteric women are an anathema to Fritz. He doesn't like them. But they like him." https://www.vtcng.com/stowe_reporter/on_snow/a-stowe-pioneer-remembered-fritz-l-kramer-1918-2013/article_75b34e26-7149-11e2-9e76-001a4bcf887a.html https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/at-this-place-in-history/this-place-in-history-mt-mansfield-ski-patrol/ https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2016/02/26/stowe-mount-mansfield-ski-patrol-vermont-skiing/80879510/ Drafted into the Army in 1942, he was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington. He was a skiing and mountain-climbing instructor with the 87th Regiment of the 10th Mountain Division at several locations, including Camp Hale, Colorado and Seneca Rocks in Pendleton County, West Virginia. In 1944 he was transferred to the division's medical unit and was sent to Italy. He was instrumental in his unit's capture of 3700-foot Monte Belvedere in the Apennine Mountains in a two-sided assault. During the Po River campaign, he received the Bronze Star for the rescue of an officer who was wounded on a patrol about two miles behind enemy lines. In November 1945, he was discharged in Vienna, remaining there to work with Army intelligence doing de-nazification work. On 22 Oct 2023, President Biden signed a proclamation creating the Camp Hale - Continental Divide National Monument in Colorado. A White House fact sheet stated "The rugged landscape of Camp Hale - Continental Divide serves as a testament to a pivotal moment in Americas military history, as these peaks and valleys forged the elite soldiers of the famed 10th Mountain Division -- the Armys first and only mountain infantry division -- that helped liberate Europe in World War II." Fritz Kramer was one of those elite soldiers. https://www.fs.usda.gov/visit/camp-hale-continental-divide-national-monument https://youtu.be/V_qnR9avkGc https://youtu.be/Z_TNXvfCpoM https://archives.denverlibrary.org/repositories/3/resources/4362 After returning to the United States in July 1946, he enrolled at Seattle College and began studies in business and foreign trade. He later transferred to the University of Washington, where he was awarded an A.B. degree in 1950. Doing his post-graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley, he was awarded a Master's degree in geography in 1953, and a Ph.D. in historical and cultural cartography in 1957. Academic positions he held during his career included the following: Allegheny College (Meadville Pa) 1953-1955; Univ. of Nevada 1956-1960; Univ. of Oregon 1960-1962; Colorado College 1962-1964; Sacramento State College 1964-1966. He went on to be a renowned professor of geography at Portland State University in Oregon, remaining there from 1966 until retirement. In conjunction with his position there, he also served several years in Europe as Director, European Studies Institute, Zagreb, Yugoslavia 1972; and as Resident Director, Oregon Study Center in Germany, Stuttgart and Tubingen, 1977-1980, 1982-1983. He was named Professor Emeritus of Geography at Portland State University in December 1983. http://stowe.com/upload/photos/Ski_Patrol_Article.pdf http://www.skimuseum.org/page.php?cid=doc145 http://oldweb.geog.berkeley.edu/PeopleHistory/History/60YrsGeog/Kramer,%20Fritz.html | KRAMER, Fritz Leopold Louis Max (I7936)

| 21613 | Orva Davis' entry in "History of Doddridge County," (1979): "April 26, 1918 I had to kiss my wife and mother goodbye and report to the draft board. I was sent to Camp Meade, Maryland for 2 months, then was shipped abroad aboard the Leviathin to Brest, France. After 6 weeks more training, we were sent to our first battle, which was Meuse Argonne Forest. The war ended November 11, 1918, and we happily thought we would be home for Christmas. Instead we spent the winter in France sleeping in barns with livestock or in pup tents on snow covered ground. Arrived home June 1, 1919." | DAVIS, Orva (I53260)

| 21615 | Oscar Shull did not serve in the military during the Civil War. In August 1862, he was accused of disloyalty and collaboration with Rebel soldiers. In the draft registration of Doddridge County in Oct/Nov 1863, an entry for Oscar J. Shull, age 24, single, contained the annotation "Prisoner at Johnson Island." | SHULL, Oscar J. (I100374)

|
| 21624 | Other than an article in the local newspaper indicating that he had departed for training on Sep 6 1918, there is no evidence that Everett M. Knight ever served in the U.S. military. The article stated that he was part of a group of thirteen Doddridge County recruits in the so-called Limited Service class, indicating that they had certain physical limitations that would preclude full-scale military combat training and duties. This is consistent with his WW I draft registration card of June 1918, which indicated that he had a broken arm. In the 1930 Census, in response to the question as to whether he was a veteran of the U.S. military, his answer was No. His obituary also makes no mention of military service. | KNIGHT, Everett Morrison (I58392)
|
| 21625 | Other than her birth record, no reference to Patience Brown as a child of Benjamin Brown & Hannah Benjamin has been found. Some versions of the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records report Jun 11 1776 as Patience's birth date, some report that as her death date, and some as both. We consider it possible that Patience is the same person as Benjamin & Hannah's daughter Thankful, who married Jirah Peabody and for whom no birth record by that name has been found. Thankful's age in the 1850 and 1860 censuses would put her birth in or about 1776. | BROWN, Patience (I72143)

| 21626 | Other than the 1880 Census when it appears as Trough, the spelling of his surname is consistently Traugh. | TRAUGH, Augustus "Gus" (I92077)

| 21627 | Other than their marriage, the only record we have found of Asa and Margaret is the 1840 Census of Harrison Co, (W)VA: 1 male, age 20-30 1 female, age 20-30 They were not found in the 1850 Census, in which their sons Richard and William were in the household of Asa's parents in Doddridge County. | BEE, Asa (I52310)

|
| 21629 | Our efforts to identify the parents of Bazil Rowe were made difficult by the various spellings of his name, both first and last. Based strictly on census records, starting with 1900 and working backward, we found the following: In 1900, Bazil was with wife Nancy and one child. 1900 Census, Columbiana Co, OH (Town of East Palestine), enumerated on Jun 6 1900 at Clark Street: Basil Raugh, 65, b. Jul 1834 in Ohio (father b. Pennsylvania, mother b. Ohio), occupation presser in pottery, married 25 yrs; wife Nancy, 46, b. Apr 1854 in Indiana (both parents b. Ohio), married 25 yrs, mother of 4 children (all still living); son Charles A, 16, b. Mar 1884 in Ohio, occupation stable hand. In 1880, he was with wife Nancy and their children. 1880 Census, Columbiana Co, OH (Middleton Twp), enumerated in June 1880: Bazzem Rowe, 48, b. Ohio (both parents born in Virginia), occupation sawyer; wife Nancy, 26, b. Indiana (both parents b. Ohio); dau Laura G, 7, b. Ohio; dau Mary, 4, b. Ohio; son Walter, 6 months, b. Ohio; boarder John Macauley, 48, b. Ohio, married, occupation miller. (Note: The next household was that of Nancy's parents and siblings.) In 1870, we couldn't find Bazil, but we did find someone else who would prove to be relevant. 1870 Census, Columbiana Co, OH (Liverpool Twp, Wellsville post office), enumerated on Jun 1 1870: Pleasey Rough, 79, b. Virginia; David H. Russell, 27, b. Virginia, laborer; Amanda Russell, 20, b. Ohio. In 1860, he was with his first wife, Elizabeth, and their children. 1860 Census, Columbiana Co, OH (Liverpool Twp, East Liverpool post office), enumerated on Jun 7 1860: Bazel Rough, 25, b. Ohio, occupation (blank), value of real estate (blank), value of personal estate $30; Elizabeth, 26, b. Ohio; Enma, 7, b. Ohio; Therrssa, 4, b. Ohio; Darrah, 4, b. Ohio In 1850, he was with his parents: 1850, Columbiana County (Liverpool Twp), enumerated on Jul 11 1850: John Raugh, 73, b. Pennsylvania, farmer, value of real estate $2,000; Placey, 57, b. Virginia; Bazaleel, 18, b. Ohio, boatman; Philip, 20, b. Ohio, boatman; Matilda McCullough, 35, b. Ohio; Amanda McCullough, 6 months, b. Ohio. So Bazil Rowe's original name was apparently Bazaleel Raugh, which varies slightly from the Biblical name Bezaleel. http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/bezaleel/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bezalel Although relationships are not stated in the 1850 Census, it appears evident that John Raugh (or Rough) and Pleasey are Bazil's parents. The ages fit, and their birthplaces more or less match those given by Bazil in 1880 and 1900. Birthplaces in census records can be very helpful, but also are not always completely accurate. In this case, the 1850 Census (in which the information was provided by the individuals themselves) clarifies the minor discrepancies of the 1880 and 1900 censuses. So John Raugh was definitely born in Pennsylvania. And Pleasey was born in Virginia, which may actually be present-day West Virginia, which was still Virginia until 1863. | Family: Bazil ROWE / Nancy GASTON (F16008)
