Toe Fam iIv

Ives, Ivie, Ivys, WINS, Ivison, st.
Ives, and also Eve, Ewes, Eaves, Eve
son and Evans are names supposed to
be derived from the town of st. Ives,
England. This town was thus called
in honor of st. I've, Persian mission
airy of early days.
Drayton, in a poem, thus gives the
story:
From Persia, led by zeal, st. I've this
island sought.
And near our eastern fens, fit place,
finding taught
The faith; which place from him alone
the name derives.
And of that sainted man has since been
called st. Ives.
A person living at st. Ives might be
which was finally shortened to Ives or
I've. The Norman form of the name
was Two. Other near relatives of the
names Ives are Ison, Ivett and watts.
An old Hebrew form of Eve, it may be
mentioned. was Hawai-, which was an
other name for Eve of the Bible. Eve
means, as we are told, the mother
of all.
1t is not impossible, however, to &C
count for all these names by referring
them back to Ivan, meaning John.
The family has its history all along
the ages, and it's romance. There was
the famous antiquarian, John Ives,
who was also the Suffolk herald ex-
traordinary" He was born in Great
Yarmouth, 1851, and "the son of an
opulent merchant" Some of his man.

adorns the pages of its history. For

didn't know any better.
William Ives of London came over
in the Truelove, 1886. He was a free

name is one of the number found in
the civil compact dated June 4, 1859.
One of his sons was Joseph, whose
son Samuel was Maine colonist.. Will

William Bassett. Another immigrant
was Miles Ives, who was also from
England. He was first at Watertown,

been made to the civil authorities.
Just how general the use of the
poppy juice has become is not esti-
mated, but it is admitted to be more
alarming than ever before in the his
tory of the army. Acting Commander
Col. C. Deems said that in all his
career he had never encountered such
general addiction to the drug. and
that at worst his observation had
never disclosed higher percentage
Of opium using than two to three per
cent. 1t was at first estimated that
forty per cent of the men at he
Preside were using the drug, but this
was declared excessive, a more prob
able figure after company and hos
pital statistics had been compiled, be-
ing ten per cent.
Alarmed at this high percentage,
appeals were directed by Colonel
Lundeen, commandant at the post, to
the district attorneys Office and to
the Office Of the chief of police, with
the result that raids on opium dens
by the civil authorities are being
made.

jealous of the kings rights. But
Cruger seems to have accomplished
this task.
In 1902 he married Maria, daughter
Of Hendrick Cuyler of Albany. They
had five daughters, Anna, Maria, Sa-
rah, another Maria, for the first died
of smallpox and Rachel; and three
sons, Tiieman, Henry and John.
Although John left no descendants,
he is by far the most interesting OF
his generation. He showed unusual
ability even as child. From 1854
to 1755 he was alderman and from
1855 to 1765 he was mayor He was
the first speaker and president of the
first colonial assembly, and he was a
member of that body for II years,
from 1859 to 1775. He wrote the IA
nous Declaration of Rights and
Grievances" adopted by the Stamp
Act congress in 1865, the first notable
piece of political writing in our his
tory, and said co be the model on
which Jefferson based the Declaration
of Independence. He also started the
movement which led to the establish
ment, 1853, of the New York chamber
of commerce, modelled on the English
board of trade, and the first mercan-
tile society established in America.
He died in 1891.
The most interesting member of the
next generation is also the one who
left no heirs. His name was John
Harris Cruger, and he married Anne,
daughter of Brig. Gen. Oliver De Lam
cey of New York and tina British
army. When war was threatSued De
Lancey raised a brigade, calfesl "De
Lancey's battalions," for the defense
of Long island and other exigencies; +"
and he commissioned his son-inAaw,
who was strongss in sympathy with
his mother county. lieutenant cello
mel. Cruger's militNS record was
brilliant. Among other Wings he com
manded Fort NinetyNix in South
Carolina when it was attacked, and
he forced the American general, Ma
thaniel Greene, to raise the siege.
After the war he went to Englnd,
and died there.

Cruger Family
By ELEANOR LEXINGTON
Copyright by Mcclure Syndicate,

The Cruger family, as the name
shows, dates back to the time of the
Crusades, Cruger was originally Cru
ciger, and was the Medieval Latin
word for cross-bearer, from the words
"crux," cross, and "gere," carry.
From Cruciger the name became
Creuziger and Creutzinger, and final
ly Cruger, and in Germany and Hol-
land, Kruger.
The name was first given to a
knight in one of the Crusades, at the
end of the eleventh century, and
from him the family spread through
out Germany, Holland, Denmark and
England. One Casper Crucigar, a
German, helped Luther translate the
Bible in 1882. In 1870 Sir Philip de
Crucuger went with Richard l. of
England on the third crusade to
Palestine. Sir Philip is supposed to
