Notes

[H97] Wallace and Emma married after Wallace returned from serving in WW I.

Before Vernie was born they lived on 31st St. A Moline (picture of Emma on front porch there)
When Vernie was born they lived in a house on the north side of 23 Avenue between 34th and 41st Street. (Believe there is a picture of Vernie in the yard there) By the time Lorraine was born, June 16, 1922 they lived on 34th Street across from Baker's Dairy. There are two similar small square houses there and they lived in the one to the south. When Lorraine was little they moved above the grocery store that was run by their brother-in-law, Leonard Nelson (Uncle Lenny) on the NW corner of 32nd Street and 23rd Avenue (later another small building was built between this building and the corner). Lorraine remembers falling down the steps there. Also there was running water but no sewer, so a bucket had to be kept under the faucet at all times. She remembers turning on the water when there was no bucket. Picture of Lorraine on a rocking horse was taken here. Lorraine believes that Uncle Lenny was buying the building the store was in. During the depression he felt sorry for people needing groceries and would allow them to have food without paying. He eventually lost both the store and his home on 32nd Street. The Jamieson family moved to a little brown house at 2356-32nd Street. Bob was born while they lived here. Emma's sister Mary lived across the street and her sister Lyda and her husband Lenny lived two doors down. Lorraine's long time friend Betty Westfall lived next door. The family was thinking of building a larger house when the house at 2341-32nd Street became available. This was during the depression and they got the house at a very good price. Wallace had established his garage on 23rd Avenue and was doing somewhat better than most during the depression. Marilyn was born when the family lived here. Emma lived in this house until the ?1960's?

[H98] Verne met Elaine in Ottumwa, Iowa where he was serving in the Navy. When he was assigned to a ship, Elaine and their baby son Steven moved in with Verne's mother Emma at 2341-32nd Street, Moline.

[H99] After Lorraine and Irvin were married, they lived in a small house in Green Rock. Irvin was drafted to serve in WWII just about the time Betty was born. When Lorraine came home from the hospital she moved back in with her mother Emma at 2341-32nd Street, Moline, Illinois and stayed there while Irvin was in the service.

[H100] Dana and Royle were married in a civil ceremony in 7 October 2005. They held a church wedding on October 6, 2006 at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Waukon, Iowa.

A coachmaker named John Lamb was working in the town in 1710 and 1727. By the later 18th century there were two coachmakers, William Butler in Bore Street and James Butler in Wade Street. James, who took over William's firm in 1766, was still in business in 1779, when he also advertised as a house painter. A coach works owned by Charles Holmes in 1810 may have occupied the Butler premises in Wade Street; certainly the partnership of Holmes & Turnor operated from Wade Street in 1816. Known as Holmes & Butcher by 1829, the partnership was evidently dissolved in 1848 and the works was continued by William Holmes. In 1860 Arthur and Herbert Holmes worked as coach and harness makers in St. John Street, possibly on the north side of St. John's hospital where John Heap had a coach works in 1848. By 1864 they had moved their premises to Bird Street, evidently on the corner with Bore Street. As Holmes & Co. the business continued there until c. 1918. In 1818 William Weldhen was making coaches and coach harnesses, evidently on the east side of Upper St. John Street where he had a workshop and showroom in 1847. Premises there were in the hands of John Weldhen in 1864. The business was sold in 1890 to John Hall, a coachmaker based in Gaia Lane. Hall continued the St. John Street works until c. 1918.

[N106] From: Donald Grosvenors Main E-mail dated 20 February 2010:

The Grosvenors came from Kidderminster in Worcestershire where they once owned a carpet manufacturing business called Woodward Grosvenor. You can Google it as the name continues on. The Grosvenors were pillars of the local establishment being Mayors of Kidderminster and High Sheriffs of the County etc etc.

From: A Brief History of English Carpets and the Stourvale Mill by the J. R. Burrows Company

The town of Kidderminster, Worcestershire, lies about 20 miles southwest of Birmingham in the English industrial midlands. It has been a center of weaving for many centuries, and in the mid - late eighteenth century began to specialize in new forms of carpet weaving, rightfully coming to be called the carpet capital of Britain. The historic Stourvale Mill on Green Street was built in the early 1850's under the guidance of Henry Woodward, who had started his company in 1790, and who was joined by Benjamin Grosvenor to operate the first steam powered carpet mill in Britain on the site. The firm of Grosvenor Wilton Company Ltd. remains the major weaver of Brussels and Wilton carpets, and is the only firm with a complete design archive extant that covers over 200 years in business and over 10,000 patterns. J.R. Burrows & Co. are the agents in the United States for historic designs from this archive, which is marketed as the "Stourvale Mill Collection."

Kidderminster Carpets are a reversible flat weave carpet popular from the 18th century to the early 20th century. This form of carpeting has no pile and the pattern is shown in opposing colors on both faces, making it possible to turn the carpet over when one side was worn or soiled. In North America these carpets were commonly called Ingrain Carpet. None are woven today in the town of Kidderminster, but they are made still in small quantities in the United States, including designs by William Morris.
