is 1T sHURTLEFFP

is 1T SHURTIEEET
The Shurtleffs are undoubtedly
of English descent, but the name
Shurtleff is not to be found in any
English cognomens. However there
was in remote times an English
family of the name Chiercliffe, and
it has been discovered that the
American Shurtleffs are descendants
of this family. Chiercliffe is, Of
course, a place name. though the
location of this place that gave the
family its name has long since been
forgotten. The surname Chierclffe
became Cherecliffe. then Shiercliffe.
and finally Shurtleff. The founder
of the family here was William,
whose name was spelled in q va
riety of ways. It was his grand
son who took the spelling that has
since then been used universally by
members OF the American family.
William, the founder Of the Shurt-
left family, came as a young man
to Plymouth, Mass, before 1895.
He hied from Ecclesaeld, a village
of Yorkshire, FIVE miles from Shelf
field and twenty miles from Seroo-
by. the early gathering place Of the
Pilgrims before they went to Hol-
and. In Ecclesfield. IN their home
called Whitley Hall. lived the only
family still representing the CHER
cliffe-Shurtleff connection in Eng
land.
William was a carpenter by trade.
In the new colony he was appoint
ed surveyor OF Highwaies." He
also held the post OF constable. IL

MEMORIES
BY ANNA w. WAGNER.

I'm thinking OF the day, Marie.
When we stood side by side.
And the parson said the blessed
words
That made you my little bride,
I can see the love-light in your eyes,
As you made that solemn vow;
The love-light was no brighter then.
Than in your sweet eyes now.
Many years have passed. Marie.
Since our happy wedding day;
We have travelled life together,
Now we are old and gray.
Although your step is feeble,
And your days are almost DER;
You are just as dear TO me, love.
As you were in days of yore.

German Mark Is to Blame for All This

Rappold, singer with the San Carlo
Opera company, had squirrel coat
which she first stated to the oftl-
cials had been purchased on Fifth
avenue, New York. When informed
that she would have to make this
statement under oath which would
render her liable to prosecution for
perjury If it was proved to be untrue,
Miss Rappold admitted that she had
paid between $3.50 to $500 for the coat
while abroad. The appraisers valued
it at 81 500 which she declined to pay
and the coat was forfeited.
Two women passengers bound for
San Francisco, Miss Emma Auspach
and Miss Lena Kober, brought seal
skins, upon which $500 was due,
and as they had no money, the coats
were forfeited.
Mrs. Max Hausemann of Lynbrook,
l.. L, had a fur coat which the GUS
toms taxed at $3.50, and that was also
forfeited. Otto Kirster and his wife
Of Finlay, O., had to pay $142.70 duty
on fur coat and other material. and
T. Malbrain of Johnstown, Pa, was
required to pay an additional duty OF
1926 upon wearing apparel for which
he had neglected to make proper dec
laratiOn.
