Apr 1, 1910: Federal Census for Leadville, Lake Co., Colorado:
Chatfield, Marjory: Lodger, age 16, single, born Colorado, father born Ohio, mother born Illinois
Note: Marjorie is living with the Edward Trowbridge family of six. He is a Railroad Engineer in Leadville.

Excerpts of handwritten family history by Charlotte Mary (Chatfield) Putnam:
My only remembrance of my Mother (Ida Emmeline Hyatt), who died of tuberculosis in Colorado Springs on February 9, 1908, was seeing her just before her burial in Basalt. My Grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Morrow Chatfield, and my Aunt Marjorie, who was 15 years old, moved into our home to take care of my two brothers and me.

On May 28, 1911, my father married (Clark Samuel Chatfield, Jr.) Madge Rosa. Shortly thereafter I accompanied my Grandmother (Mary Elizabeth Morrow Chatfield) and my Aunt Marjorie Chatfield to Chico, California where she attended Chico Normal. Just previous to that, at the age of 8, I started school in a two-room schoolhouse in Cardiff, Colorado. My teacher was my Aunt Marjorie, who was finishing her fourth year of high school on the weekends in Leadville and teaching in Cardiff during the week. She commuted via the Colorado Midland.

After graduating from Williams High School in 1922, there was no money for me to enter college. At that time my Aunt Marjorie Chatfield Tuck and her small son Jack were living in Westwood, California where she was teaching. I went to Westwood, lived with my Aunt and worked for the Red River Lumber Company and saved my money.

As They Were Told:
Mabel Chatfield was quite short, not even five feet tall, whereas her sisters Marjorie and Jacquelin were almost six-foot —Pat Benacquista, daughter of Charlotte Putnam

Jun 4, 1915: Chico Record, Chico, Butte Co., California:
NORMAL GIRL BRIDE OF WESTWOOD MAN
Miss Marjorie Chatleld, a graduate of the Chico State Normal School with the class of June, 1914, was married in Quincy May 24 to Tom Tuck of Westwood, in which city the bride and groom will make their home. During her residence in Chico Mrs. Tuck was popular in social circles. She has been teaching school the past year in Westwood.

Note: A normal school is an institution created to train high school graduates to be teachers by educating them in the norms of pedagogy (the method and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept) and curriculum. Most such schools, where they still exist, are now denominated “teacher-training colleges” or “teachers’ colleges” and may be organized as part of a comprehensive university. Normal schools in the United States and Canada trained teachers for primary schools.

Nov 8, 1917: Colusa Herald, Colusa, Colusa Co., California:
PRINCETON
Mrs. J.F. Mallon motored to Colusa Monday to meet her sister, Mrs. Tom Tuck.
The Missionary Society held a very pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs. N.H. McAuslin Wednesday. Those present were: Mrs. L.C. Smith, Mrs. N.S. Voder, Mrs. Tom Tuck, Mrs. C. Archer, Mrs. F.M. Porter, Mrs. J.F. Mallon, Mrs. Tom Dawson.
J.F. Mallon is in San Francisco on a business trip.

As I Was Told:
1918: The Mallon Blevins company that Thomas Tuck (husband of Marjorie Chatfield) worked for was my grandpa and his partner’s drayage business, in Colusa. It eventually failed, and rather than declare bankruptcy (which Mr. Blevins did) Grandpa endeavored to pay off all his creditors. He was a very proud man, and during the Great Depression, he refused the free red paint the Government offered for his barn and outbuildings—the red buildings would have been a tip-off that he was destitute, and he would have none of that! —Jacqui (Mallon) Ewing.

Jun 18, 1918: Colusa Herald, Colusa, Colusa Co., California:

Jan 11, 1919: Colusa Herald, Colusa, Colusa Co., California:
MRS. MALLON, 3 CHILDREN MOTHER, SISTER, NEPHEW, HAVE FLU IN SAME HOUSE
Mrs. J.F. Mallon and three children, Devere, Marjorie and Neva, of Princeton, have the influenza in Oakland, Mrs. Tom Tuck of Princeton Is also down with the malady in the same house, as is Mrs. Chatfield, the mother of Mrs. Mallon and Mrs. Tuck, and Leslie Chatfield, Mrs. Mallon’s and Mrs. Tuck’s nephew, making seven in the house suffering of the flu. Getting nurses has been a difficult matter. Mr. Tuck conducted a search In the bay cities, and Mr. Mallon In the valley. Finally one was found and a good one. Then Mr. Mallon engaged Mrs. Rose Miller of Colusa as the day nurse, and rushed her in an auto to the house of sickness. When they arrived in the evening, Mrs. Miller was tired and Mr. Mallon sent her to a hotel to rest for the night. Next morning she, too, was sick and had to be brought home at once.

The Influenza Pandemic of 1918
World War I claimed an estimated 16 million lives. The influenza epidemic that swept the world in 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people. One-fifth of the world’s population was attacked by this deadly virus. Within months, it had killed more people than any other illness in recorded history.

The plague emerged in two phases. In late spring of 1918, the first phase, known as the “three-day fever,” appeared without warning. Few deaths were reported. Victims recovered after a few days. When the disease surfaced again that fall, it was far more severe. Scientists, doctors, and health officials could not identify this disease which was striking so fast and so viciously, eluding treatment and defying control. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others succumbed after a few days; their lungs filled with fluid and they suffocated to death.

The plague did not discriminate. It was rampant in urban and rural areas, from the densely populated East coast to the remotest parts of Alaska. Young adults, usually unaffected by these types of infectious diseases, were among the hardest hit groups along with the elderly and young children. The flu afflicted over 25 percent of the U.S. population. In one year, the average life expectancy in the United States dropped by 12 years.

Note: The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as “Spanish Flu” or “La Grippe” the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster.

Photo circa Spring of 1920: standing are Marjorie (Chatfield) Tuck (age 26), Marjorie and Della’s mother Mary Elizabeth (Morrow) Chatfield (age 69), Marjorie’s cousin Elmer Chatfield (age 56, smoking pipe) and Isaac W. Chatfield’s 2nd wife Sarah (Wisenor) Chatfield (age 61). Front row: Tom Tuck (husband of Marjorie, age 41, kneeling), and Jack Tuck (Marjorie & Tom’s son, 3 yrs, 3 mos, born Dec 1916); kneeling at right is Marjorie’s uncle and Elmer’s father, Isaac W. Chatfield (age 83). At this time the Tucks live in Princeton, Colusa Co., California. Mary (Morrow) Chatfield lives in Oakland, Alameda Co., California, Isaac and Sarah live in San Jose, Santa Clara Co., California, and Elmer lives in Worland, Washakie Co., Wyoming. Assuming this photo was taken in California and as Isaac was an orchardist, this may have been on his San Jose property. Elmer may have gone to California some months after the death of his wife Della to visit family. Ages based on the guess that this photo was taken in 1920.

Apr 25, 1921: Death of Stanley Tuck, 2nd of 2 children of Margaret Emma “Marjorie” Chatfield & Thomas Mitchell “Tom” Tuck, in Dallas, Dallas Co., Texas; of encephalitis lethargica.

Apr 25, 1921: Burial of Stanley Tuck in the Old Cemetery of West Hill Cemetery in Sherman, Grayson Co., Texas

Encephalitis lethargica is an atypical form of encephalitis. Also known as “sleeping sickness” or “sleepy sickness” (distinct from tsetse fly transmitted sleeping sickness), it was first described in 1917. The disease attacks the brain, leaving some victims in a statue-like condition, speechless and motionless. Between 1915 and 1926, an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica spread around the world. Nearly five million people were affected, a third of whom died in the acute stages. Many of those who survived never returned to their pre-existing “aliveness”. They would be conscious and aware – yet not fully awake; they would sit motionless and speechless all day in their chairs, totally lacking energy, impetus, initiative, motive, appetite, affect or desire; they registered what went on about them without active attention, and with profound indifference. They neither conveyed nor felt the feeling of life; they were as insubstantial as ghosts and as passive as zombies. No recurrence of the epidemic has since been reported, though isolated cases continue to occur.

1940: San Francisco World’s Fair
The Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE) (1939 and 1940), held at San Francisco’s Treasure Island, was a World’s Fair celebrating, among other things, the city’s two newly built bridges. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937. The exposition opened from February 18, 1939, through October 29, 1939, and from May 25, 1940, through September 29, 1940.
Source: Wikipedia

The Golden Gate International Exposition was one of the grandest parties in San Francisco’s history. It was so big, in fact, an island was built for it.
Held amid the afterglow of the premieres of the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge, the exposition was a world’s fair that opened Feb. 18, 1939, and drew 10 million visitors to Treasure Island. The theme was “Pageant of the Pacific,” and the event featured fantastical architecture and a fabled Gayway boulevard of amusements.
Harre Demoro wrote: “The exposition, with its colorful, fanciful Art Deco buildings, was a last fling of innocence. Gawking visitors marveled at microwave ovens and stared at early television sets.”
With World War II on the horizon, and the Depression still stunting the economy in San Francisco and across the nation, the Golden Gate International Exposition was a fanciful escape for tourists and residents of the Bay Area.
The Golden Gate International Exposition was set to end in October 1939, but its popularity and huge attendance numbers led officials to reopen the doors for an encore on May 25, 1940. It closed for good Sept. 29 of that year. The U.S. Navy and Army moved in and took over Treasure Island, creating bases for military personnel.

MURRAY C. STONE, M.D.
Doctor Stone hails from New England, having been born in the state of Massachusetts, April 22, 1880. He is of English and Welsh ancestry, and is a son of Charles P. and Ella L. (Aldrich) Stone. The father was born in Massachusetts in 1847, and the mother, who was a native of New Hampshire, is still residing in Massachusetts, being now sixty-three years of age. These parents grew to maturity in New England, were educated and married there, and established their future home in Massachusetts, where Mr. Stone devoted his active life to the work of an expert mechanic, working many years as engineer for the Brown Engine Company. His death occurred in 1905. He was a son of Fordyce Stone, a native of Massachusetts, he having been a son of Windsor Stone. Thus the record shows this to be one of our oldest Eastern families.

Dr. Murray C. Stone grew to manhood in his native state and there received his education, first attending the public schools, later taking the course in the medical department of Harvard University, Cambridge, from which historic institution he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, with the class of 1903, and in that year he began the practice of his profession at Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where he remained, enjoying a good general practice until 1910, when he came West, locating in Kansas City. After remaining there eighteen months, he went to Jefferson City, spending two years at the Missouri capital, then, in October, 1914, took up his residence in Springfield, where he intends making his future home. He has devoted many years to a special study of pathology and in due course of time became an expert analyst. Before leaving Fitchburg, his native state, he was a pathologist at the Burbank hospital, and while in Kansas City he held the same position at the general hospital; while in Jefferson City he was the official state bacteriologist, giving eminent satisfaction in all these important trusts. He is now making a specialty of clinical pathology. He has become well established in his work here, and maintains a well equipped and modem laboratory in the Woodruff building, Springfield. His patrons are the leading physicians of this and other cities of southwestern Missouri.

Doctor Stone was married in 1906, at Fitchburg, Massachusetts, to Eleanor M. Taft, a daughter of Benjamin Taft, a leading citizen of that city. There Mrs. Stone grew to womanhood and was graduated from the Fitchburg State Normal. The union of the Doctor and wife has resulted in the birth of two children, namely: Edward W., born in Fitchburg, September 29, 1907; and Windsor, whose birth occurred in that city on October 12, 1908; they are both attending school at this writing.

Politically, Doctor Stone votes independently. In religious matters he is a Presbyterian. He is a member of the Greene County Medical Society, the Missouri State Medical Association, the American Medical Association and the American Public Health Association. Personally, he is a plain, practical, sociable gentleman and has made many friends during his short residence in Springfield.

Hiram Tuck Records

Hiram Newton Tuck volunteered in the Confederate Army in 1861 and was in Co. C, 5th Reg, First Missouri Brigade, known as “Cockrell’s Missouri Brigade.” This outfit engaged in battles in and around Vicksburg. It was in that city that he was taken prisoner and paroled upon giving oath that he would not again bear arms against the North. On his way home he became ill in Arkansas and upon recovering, decided to make his way to Texas, as his home state was so divided in its loyalties.

At the close of the war he was joined by his wife and child, making his home in Grayson County, later moving into Sherman where he lived the remainder of his life. He was active in the religious and civic life of his community. For over thirty-five years, he was on the official board of the Travis Street Methodist Church; for twenty-five years he was in public office as County Treasurer, Deputy County Clerk and Tax Assessor. He also served as Chairman of the Board of Kidd-Key College and as Master of his Masonic Lodge.
