NOTES: 1 DATE: AUGUST 24, 1997. PAGE: 55. THIS INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED FROM A BOOK BY E. HERMAN SHELLEY, TITLED " GENEALOGICAL NOTES ON THE SHELLY-SHELLEY FAMILY ", DATED MARCH 6, 1955, TO BE FOUND AT THE LANCASTER COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY UNDER NUMBERS 929, S545 OF THE CARD CATALOG, A COPY OF THIS BOOK IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE FOLLOWING WAS RECORDED: MOTHER AND FATHER, SISTERS AND BROTHERS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- --------------------- NOTES: 2 FANNIE AS REMEMBERED BY HER GRANDAUGHTER, ETHEL SHELLEY STEINMETZ: FANNIE BAKER KOLP WAS RENOUNED IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HER BEAUTY. SHE WAS INDEED A VERY STRIKING-LOOKING WOMAN EVEN WHEN I KNEW HER IN HER LATER YEARS. HER COAL-BLACK HAIR WAS PARTED IN THE MIDDLE AND DRAWN BACK NEATLY UNDER HER SNOWY-WHITE PRAYER CAP. SHE WAS ALWAYS DRESSED IN IMMACULATE PLAIN CLOTHES, BEAUTIFULLY MADE TO FIT HER TRIM BODY. SHE CARRIED HERSELF WITH A CONSCIOUS PRIDE IN HER APPEARANCE. SHE DELIGHTED IN HAVING HER HUSBAND TELL ABOUT THE TIME A TRAVELING "DOCTOR", WHO HAD COME TO TOWN WITH HIS MEDICINE SHOW, PICKED HER TO ASSIST HIM IN HIS MAGIC ACT BECAUSE, HE SAID, SHE WAS "THE PRETTIEST WOMAN IN THE CROWD. IN SPITE OF THEIR CHURCH'S PREACHING THAT PRIDE IS A SIN, IT WAS A DOMINANT PART OF FANNIE SHELLY'S PERSONALITY. BESIDES HAVING A DEEP PERSONAL PRIDE IN HER APPEARANCE, SHE ALSO TOOK PRIDE IN HER HOME, HER FAMILY, HER BEAUTIFUL HAND WORK AND HER STATUS IN THE COMMUNITY. FANNIE, WHO WAS HENRY'S SECOND WIFE, WAS EXPECTED TO TAKE OVER NOT ONLY THE MANAGEMENT OF A LARGE FARM HOUSE BUT ALSO THE REARING SEVERAL CHILDREN FROM HIS FIRST MARRIAGE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SHE ASSUMED ALL HER RESPONSIBILITIES WITH HER CHARACTERISTIC CONFIDENCE IN HER ABILITY TO COPE WITH ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT ARISE. ON MAY 17, 1873, MY FATHER, WALTER, A FIRST-BORN SON WAS WELCOMED INTO THIS HOUSEHOLD. AS FIRST-BORN HE WAS FAVORED OVER ABOVE ALL THE REST. HE WAS CATERED TO AND, AS WAS THE CUSTOM IN THE PENNSUYLVANIA-DUTCH CULTURE, WAS REARED TO TAKE HIS PLACE AS THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY AND HEIR TO THE PROPEROUS FARM. I NEVER HEARD WHY ONE OF HIS STEP-BROTHERS WAS NOT NAMED TO SUCCEED HIS FATHER, BUT I HAD A FEELING THAT THERE WAS FRICTION BETWEEN THE CHILDREN OF THE FIRST FAMILY AND THEIR STEP-MOTHER. NEVER-THE-LESS THEIRS WAS A HAPPY HOME. WHEN THE ASSIGNED CHORES OF THE DAY WERE COMPLETED THE FAMILY RELAXED OVER A LIGHT SUPPER. MANY OF THE STORIES I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE LIGHT HEARTED BANTER AND LAUGHTER SEEM TO HAVE ORIGINATED AT THE SUPPER TABLE. FANNIE RAN THE HOUSEHOLD AND WAS NOT PLEASED WHEN HER WALTER TOOK UP WITH A PERT YOUNG LADY FROM 12 MILES OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE HAD ALREADY CHOSEN FOR HER SON A NEIGHHBORING FARM GIRL WHO WAS WELL-TRAINED IN THE SKILLS NEEDED TO RUN A LARGE HOUSEHOLD AND WAS ALSO A FELLOW-MEMBER IN THE DUNKARD CHURCH. MY MOTHER, WHO HAD NEITHER OF THESE ATTRIBUTES, COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A SUITABLE WIFE FOR HER BELOVED SON WHO WOULD NEED A STRONG HARD-WORKING WOMAN TO HELP HIM RUN THE FARM. TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S CREDIT, WHEN IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT MY FATHER WOULD MARRY THIS UNSUITABLE GIRL, SHE ACCEPTED THE FACT MORE OR LESS GRACIOUSLY AND SET ABOUT MANAGING THE SITUATION. FIRST SHE ARRANGED A DOUBLE-WEDDING FOR HER SON AND HIS LILLIE, WITH HER DAUGHTER ALICE AND A NEIGHBOR BOY SOMUEL MECKLEY. MY MOTHER REFUSING TO GO ALONG WITH THESE PLANS, ARRANGED HER OWN PRIVATE WEDDING WITH ONLY WALTER'S BEST FRIEND, PETE GUINTER, AND HIS GIRL AS WITNESSES. AGAIN FANNIE MADE THE BEST OF WHAT SHE COULD NOT CHANGE AND MADE ROOM FOR THE YOUNG COUPLE IN HER HOUSEHOLD. I BELIEVE HER ACQUIESENCE WAS PARTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT LILLIE HAD CHARMED HER FATHER-IN-LAW AND WALTER'S YOUNG BROTHERS WHO WERE DELIGHTED WITH THE WAY SHE JOINED IN THE FUN AT THE SUPPER TABLE. BUT FANNIE DIDN'T GIVE UP. SINCE WALTER HADN'T MARRRIED THE SUITABLE WIFE SHE HAD CHOSEN FOR HIM, SHE WOULD MAKE A SUITABLE WIFE OUT OF THE GIRL HE HAD MARRIED. TO BE ABSOLUTELY FAIR, MY MOTHER ADMITTED THAT FANNIE WAS NO HARDER ON HER THAN ON HER OWN DAUGHTERS, BUT THE DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THEY WERE USED TO THE ROUTINE OF HARD WORK AND KNEW HOW TO PERFORM THEIR ASSIGHNED JOBS, WHILE SHE HAD TO BE TAUGHT EVEN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF HOUSEKEEPING AND FREQUENTLY MADE MISTAKES. AS THE SITUATION BECAME MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATING LILLIE ASKED HER HUSBAND TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM THE FARM AND RETURN TO BACHMANVILLE WHERE THEY COULD LIVE ABOVE THE STORE AND WORK FOR HER FATHER. WALTER DID JUST THAT AND BY DOING SO GAVE UP HIS INHERITANCE. ------------------------------------------------------- AN ADDED NOTE FROM FRANCES PAULINE CURRY BEINBRECH GREAT GRANDAUGHTER OF FANNIE: MY FIRST NAME, FRANCES, WAS PICKED AS NAMESAKE OF FANNIE. MY MOTHER WAS MYRL VICTORIA SHELLY CURRY.
