 Ellen Warner (Johnson's) Entry

in Madge's 1902 Friendship Book

13 and 14 January 1902
Family member Ellen Warner (Johnson) quotes William Channing Gannett in her entry.
Interestingly Gannett has ties to other research I have done for different projects.
He was a Unitarian minister, named after the American Unitarianism founder, William Ellery Channing.
Gannett was even baptized by Channing.

My other research that ties to Unitarianism is for Mattie Shipley Culver.
Her husband, Ellery Channing Culver, was from the same New England area.,
and obviously named for Channing.

William Ellery Channing had his first parish in Milwaukee, my home town.
His background as an abolitionist and supporter of women's right to vote makes me like the quote that Ellen Warner.

Here is an entry from another autograph book
because 8 January 1902 was another date not included in
Madge Sellers Friendship Book.

Mattie Shipley Culver is a woman I have written
about using home sources which led me to primary sources.

Home sources were the clue to Mattie's history.
This autograph book provided the answers to Mattie's past,
her family and her co-workers.

The Orchard family members from Schenectady, New York
were special friends to Mattie.

J. E. Orchard signed more than once using an artistic hand.
