Profile of Caroline Butler Day...

Woman, 'Sweet 16' at 90, Spends Quiet Birthday with Kin

Mrs. David Day, Who Has Lived in St. Paul for 70 Years, Met Most of Presidents Since
Zachary Taylor; Recalls Visit Here of Charles Dickens

"I have no regrets for the dear, dead past. It was good in its time, but I hail with delight
every new thing that comes to this earth of ours. Now, that is the cause of my being 'sweet
16' instead of 90 years old."

That is as Mrs. David Day sees things through a pair of wide, alert, humorous blue eyes.
Tomorrow is her ninetieth birthday. Her remark about being sweet 16 comes nearer the
truth than you would imagine, at least spiritually nearer.

Mrs. Day has spent more than 70 or her 90 years in St. Paul, coming here in 1856 as bride
of the postmaster.

She has met most of the Presidents since old Zachary Taylor, and helped to entertain
nearly all of the celebrities who came to St. Paul during half a century.

She is a daughter of the Old Third Infantry at Fort Snelling, for her father, Major John B.
Butler, a veteran of the War of 1812, the Mexican and Civil wars, founght in that regiment
under Zachary Taylor at Monterey...

...She does doubt that society in St. Paul today has the charm of former times.

Charles Dickens was among the notables who visited here during the early years of her
stay in St. Paul. So did General Hancock, General Pope, and General Grant. "Those
receptions were brilliant occasions," said Mrs. Day...

...Mrs. Day declined to have a birthday in any formal sense, at her home with her
daughter, Mrs. A.E. Boyesen, 796 Fairmount Avenue. Really, she insisted, she would be
no older or younger on her birthday than the day before or day after.

However she could not close the door on the many old friends who called, or on the
postman who came with postcards, letters, and numerous packages from afar. So there
was a kind of birthday after all.

Came From East.

With Mrs. Henry M. Rice, wife of Minnesota's first senator, and Mrs. Alexander Ramsey,
Mrs. Day was one of the little group of women who brought their charming manners and
smart clothes from the East and South to St. Paul, 70 years ago, to form an urbane social
atmosphere.

It was into a muddy little city of 10,000 people that the steamboat delivered Mr. Day and
his 19-year-old bride one rainy Septmember afternoon in 1858.

"The town's one black hack had gone back to the hotel," said Mrs. Day. "We were
standing in the mud wondering how we were going to get there when a gentleman
approached, lifted his hat and said, "Can't I offer you my carriage? I have been waiting for
some guests who didn't arrive."

He proved to be Governor Ramsey.

During most of Mrs. Day's girlhood, her father was commandant of Allegheny Arsenal
near Pittsburgh. It was here that she met General Taylor, later president.

"I wasn't much of a housewife when I came to St. Paul," she said. "I had gone to boarding
school and after that I had returned home and danced around for a year or two before I
married Mr. Day. But he was very patient and never complained of my mistakes in
management."

Liked To Dance.

Having done her own share of dancing, Mrs. Day isn't inclined to view with a severe eye
the merry-making of the present younger generation..."Our ladies dressed in beautiful
velvets and laces, trailing yards on the floor behind them. Their bodices were magnificently
trimmed with laces and jewels."

She smiled. "But I can't say the gowns were any more modest than they are now. What
they trailed along behind was cut off at the top."

Recalls Dickens.

"When Charles Dickens came to St. Paul, he was a little critical of American ways. I
understand he later changed his opinion. At any rate, when a dance was held for him at
Fort Snelling he had such a low opinion of the crude frontier town that he came
downstairs in hunting clothes. He was surprised at the elegance of the occasion and had to
run back upstairs and put on evening dress."

Mrs. Day reads everything that comes her way -- papers, books and magazines. Biography
interests her especially and so do the works of H.G. Wells though she apparently regards
the English author more as a sort of curiosity than as someone to be taken seriously.

"I read a great deal of Wells," she said. "He is such a contradictory combination that he
amuses me much. He is a good deal of a puzzle."

"No, I haven't joined in the craze for detective stories."

"Just now I am most interested in the speeches of the two candidates. I think that Mr.
Smith must be a very attractive man personally, but Mr. Hoover has my vote."

If Mrs. Day should ever feel the need for a career, she might organize and teach some
such subject as "How to be Charming at 90."

No Dull Moments.

There weren't any dull moments interviewing her. Finding a reporter on her hands she
decided to make the best of it and carried the conference along with rapid fire of varied
conversation that defied any thorough taking of notes.

"Oh come," she said presently. "You've written enough of that stuff. You won't want it all
anyway. If you promise not to write any more, I'll give you a cup of coffee."

The coffee was very good and so were the ice-box cookies that accompanied it. Mrs. Day
explained why they are called ice-box cookies.

"Do you know," she remarked later, a propos of a friend who had married late in life, "I
favor late marriages because they always turn out so well. I have noticed five or six such
cases more or less recently."

"In many instances the woman has been working and the man has been without a home,
and so they really appreciate each other."

She was reminded her own wedding at the age of nineteen seemed to have turned out very
well.

"Yes," she responded, but Mr. Day was somewhat older than I and he was very patient."

Among the celebrities of long ago whom Mrs. Day recalls are Charlotte Cushman, Adeline
Patti, Jenny Lind, Edwin Forrest, Lawrence Barrett, Edwin Booth, and Thomas Jefferson.

"History of St. Paul, Minnesota, according to Caroline Butler Day"...

It is unclear when and where this article about St. Paul, Minnesota's history was published
but it is part of a collection of David Day's papers. It appears here courtesy of the
Minnesota Historical Society. I have edited the article for length.

"City Even in '49 Had Nucleus of Cultured Society and Soon Boasted of Brilliant Affairs"

Mrs. David Day, Bride of Town's First Physician, and Mrs. R.M. Cathcart, Only Living
Pioneers of "Forties", Tell How East Gave St. Paul Social Tone Unusual Among Towns
Situated on Frontier.

Some time today will be enveloped in the softening veil of distance and mystery that will
make it a part of the past. And when that time comes, how will it look in retrospect? Will
the willowy brunette who has given such a rush at the University Club hop Saturday night
speak fondly of the good old days drawing a soft lacy white shawl a little closer around
her shoulders the while. And will the old man who was (seen) with the cherry-lipped little
blonde at the Casino bend his gray head a little further over his cane and wonder, "What
the world is coming to?" One wonders!

There was no society section in the first issue of the Minnesota Pioneer, the paper which
was the parent of these papers and which appeared just seventy-five years ago Monday.
Marriages, births, and deaths were recorded in those days by a mere formal notice and the
most exciting of all human events seemed to be the arrival of one of the steamboats that
plied the river between here and St. Louis...

The village of St. Paul boasted a population of 500 when the gold rush of '49 was at its
height in the West, but unlike most cities of the West and Middle West, it never was
marked with the atmosphere of a frontier town, according to Mrs. David Day, who came
here as the bride of the town's first physician and who now lives at The Angus with her
daughter, Miss Alice Day. The reason for this, Mrs. Day explains, is that St. Paul was
settled very largly by men from the East and South, most of them gentlemen of the old
school who later returned to their former homes for their brides. These women were the
daughters of homes of wealth and refinement in the older settlements, and with them they
brought social traditions as well as wardrobes made up of the most beautiful gowns in
vogue in New York and Philadelphia to say nothing of a profusion of diamonds, pearls
and other precious stones.

Any old timer will tell you that the center of activities in the early days was the Sibley
house, then the home of Governor and Mrs. Henry H. Sibley and now an historical shrine
maintained by the Daughters of the American Revolution. But when you ask the nature of
the social affairs of the days that followed the spring of '49 it isn't so easy to get an
answer. Mrs. Day, when asked what the women did for amusement in the days prior to the
advent of bridge and Mah Jong, pictures most graphically a period when women were too
busy to look for any amusement. It was a time, she says, when there was work to be done
and the women, especially the more prominent citizens, felt the responsibility of doing it.
There were churches to be built and furnished, and hospitals.

The social leaders of the town also were responsible for the movement that sponsored the
first State Fair. The women even strung the great garlands of crabapples that decorated
the rafters and the dome of the first building to house the exhibition.

Hospitality, too, was a religion, and if a stranger came to town bearing letters from friends
in the East, he was invited into the home as a house guest instead of being entertained at
dinner at some hotel, as might be done now-a-days. There were no caterers in those days,
neither were there any florists, and when any one gave a party the neighbors all offered to
help. One would rob her garden of all its choicest blooms. for it as a time when was gave
and gave with pleasure; another would help bake the cakes and still another would help
make the salad or bone the chicken. It was a time, in short, of mutual helpfulness both in
times of gladness and sorrow, for in times of sickness the assitance was forthcoming just
as readily.

Functions Grew Brilliant

Such social gatherings as marked the life of the communiy took place at night and usually
in the form of a formal ball, many of which were given for charity and philanthropic work.
As the town grew these affairs became more and more brilliant and continued so on into
the period of the long, high ceilinged drawing room that housed gatherings rivaling the
salons of France.

In the winter time there was cutter racing on the river, for those were the days of fast
horses. There were entertainments too, given to raise money for churches and schools.
These were made up of varied programs, literary and musical, and followed by
refreshments. The refreshments, it seemed, played a goodly part in the life of the day, for
they were rather a sturdy folk, these good old pioneers, and they liked good things to eat.

Mrs. Day recalls with amusement the first afternoon tea given in St. Paul. The custom was
inaugurated by a woman then recently arrived from the East. Much interested speculation
followed the issuing of the invitations, especially as the hour was set for the very late
afternoon. The men didn't quite know what it was all about, but they dressed most
dutifully and went. Up to that time, hostesses had been serving the most sumptuous
dinners under which the tables fairly creaked. Hence, the consternation when tea,
sandwiches and tiny cakes were passed around. Everybody had a good time, no doubt, but
they all rushed home to get something to eat...

...Dr. Day came to St. Paul on the first steamboat to make the trip up the river, landing
here on May 20, 1849...Mrs. Day at 85 is a woman of rare intellect, as lovely as a fragile
bit of Dresden china.

Territorial Days Pioneer Woman Dies at Age 90

Mrs. David Day, Resident Here 70 Years, Was Hostess to Many Celebrities

Mrs. David Day, 90 years old, one of the last of the territorial pioneer women of the state,
died Wednesday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.E. Boyesen, 796 Fairmount
Avenue.

Mrs. Day observed her ninetieth birthday October 31. She was born in Pittsburgh and had
lived in St. Paul more than 70 years, coming here as the wife of the former postmaster in
1856.

During her residence in the city, she had been host to nearly every celebrity who came to
St. Paul. Some of these were Jenny Lind, Edwin Booth, Thomas Jefferson, and Zachary
Taylor.

Her father was Major John B. Butler, a veteran of three wars. Her girlhood was spent at
Allegheny Arsenal, near Pittsburgh, where her father was commandant for a number of
years.

Up to within a few days of the sickness which caused her death from pneumonia, Mrs.
Day had been very active. She was a deep reader and student of modern affairs and always
remarked that she looked at things with the eyes of "sweet sixteen."

Surviving Mrs. Day are a son; Dr. David Day of Duluth, and two daughters, Mrs. A.E.
Boyesen of St. Paul and Mrs. A.B. Ewing of St. Louis.

Funeral services will take place at 2:00 P.M. Friday from the residence, 796 Fairmount
Avenue. Interment will be private. Friends are asked to omit flowers.

Notes on Alice Day Boyesen and Lily Day Ewing...

Some items from the St. Paul Globe indicate that Alice and Lily Day were very much
involved in the social activity of the day.

4 Feb 1886:

"Carnival Chit-Chat."

"Ke-Wi-Din", or North Wind, is the name they bear, and it seems to be appropriate, when
they fly down Ramsey hill on their toboggans. There are twenty-six of them, the oldest
about 13--probably the youngest club in the city; but in their scarlet suits they are beauties
and do their share towards making the carnival a grand success this winter, as they did
also last winter in the popular fan drill. Here they are...Alice Day, Lillie Day..."

22 Jan 1888:

"Berkey-Ashton Dancing Party. The season's social festivities have included no event
which has proved more enjoyable than the reception and dancing party given by Mrs.
Peter Berkey, to Rowand and Berton Ashton, on Friday evening, at the elegant residence
of Capt. Peter Berkey, 153 College avenue...there were about two hundred and fifty
present...after receiving the cordial greetings from the hostess and assistants, the guests
proceeded to the canvassed rooms, where dancing was enjoyed the balance of the evening
to Seibert's appropriate music. At eleven o'clock a delicious repast was served, after which
the remaining numbers of the programme concluded a most enjoyable affair, and the
brilliantly illuminated rooms, with the beautifully dressed young ladies, made a most
charming picture. Among the noticeable toilets were...Alice Day...(in a) becoming
costume of red, with Persian trimming of gold braid."

29 Jan 1888:

Alice is reported to have passed her high school entrance examinations. She was a
graduate of the Webster School.

3 Nov 1888:

"Many Masked Midgets. An Enjoyable Entertainment at Mrs. Hersey's.

One of the prettiest childrens' parties of the season was that given by Mrs. Col. R. A.
Hersey at her home on Holly avenue last evening. Four beautifully decorated apartments
were thrown open to the little merry makers, who, bedecked with masks and unique
gowns, danced to the strains of six pieces of Seibert's orchestra. The nature of the brilliant
affair was a fancy dress and masquerade, and the sixty-two who responded to the
invitations carried out the charecteristics of the occasion to perfection. And the honors
heaped upon Master Bun Hersey, in whose behalf the party was given, were numerous
indeed. At 10 o'clock a grand march, led by Bushon Punnet, in the guise of a Chinaman,
and Lucy Ames as a nun, was the occasion for removing the masks, shortly after which an
elegant spread in a uniquely decorated apartment upstairs was served...among those
attending were...Lily and Alice Day..."

2 Dec 1888:

"The Buds' Dance.

A memorable event in the youngest social circles was the dancing party given by Oscar
and Josie Kalman at their home on Summit avenue on Friday evening. About two hundred
invitations were issued and a large majority of them accepted. Music was furnished by
Will's orchestra and the entire lower floor of their beautiful home was thrown open to the
dancers, an elegant supper being served upstairs. Among the young people who enjoyed
the pleasurable affair were...Lillie and Alice Day..."

2 Mar 1889:

"Midgets in the Mazy. Happy Little Folks Charmingly Entertained By Miss Pope.

Miss Alice Pope gave a large dancing party last evening at her home on Woodward
avenue. The spacious parlors of the Sibley mansion were canvased, and to the lively
strains of Will's orchestra whirled as pretty and happy a crowd of young folks as any city's
400 can boast. Under the spell of Miss Pope's bonhomie every trace of youthful
bashfulness and maiden shyness disappeared, and infested with the high spirits of their
hostess the rising stars of society had what each will earnestly declare this morning to be
"the best time he or she had in their life." The young hostess, attired in a girlish gown of
apple-green crepe with a bouquet of La France roses was assisted in receiving by her
younger sisters, Gussie and Elsie...At 10 o'clock supper was served during an intermission
in the dance which was continued blissfully close to the witching hour of midnight. Among
the pretty girl and gallant youth present were...Alice Day, Lillie Day..."

3 Mar 1889:

"Conspicuous among the bevy of pretty girls (at the Alice Pope party) were Miss Lillie
Day, whose blonde loveliness was enhanced by a gown of white and blue China silk, the
skirt of white silk embroidered with gold, the bodice and sash of blue, gold necklace; Miss
Alice Day, pink surah and Russian net garnitured with black velvet ribbon..."

ball given to celebrate the departure of Messrs. Reuben and Abbie Warner for college and
every one was there...Seibert's orchestra never played better in its history than last night,
nor ever has there been a more unanimous turnout of the young society folk than that
marking last night's event -- the opening ball of the season...Those there were: Misses
Marion Craig, Alice Day, Lillie Day, Josie Kalman..."

bow in society. Misses Day's reception is almost the only important entertainment of the
week, if one excepts the concert for the benefit of the Woman's Christian Home but the
various clubs and societies of the city will make merry."

1 Nov 1891:

"The Day Reception"

The formal event of the week, which was long anticipated, was the coming-out reception
of Dr. and Mrs. Day's eldest daughter, Miss Alice Day. It occurred at Dr. Day's house on
Dayton avenue Thursday evening and was the debut of not only Miss Day, but of a half-
dozen other charming young buds. Miss Day, who is destined to rank among the beauties
of society, appeared in a simple gown of white silk with an overdress of crepe de chine.
The garniture was of cream-colored and gold passementerie and the effect was most
becoming to the debutante's golden hair and brown eyes. Miss Day carried pink roses. The
guests were about 200 in number, and were for the most part of the younger set, the
younger married people and all the "unattached" belles and beaux. Mrs. Day was assisted
in the task of receiving by Mrs. Elmer, Mrs. Ordway, Mrs. Auerbach, Mrs. F. P. Shepard,
and Mrs. John Snapp, and the Misses Lanborn, Gillfillin, Spaulding, Morris, McMillan,
Armstrong, Brisbane, Winslow, Hall and Senkler. The supper table was presided over by

among young women of the East and South. The fame of our hospitality has gone abroad,
and young ladies hail with pleasure an invitation to spend a few weeks or months in our

The little island in the river, on which stands the boat house of the Minnesota Boat Club
and the cool, breezy pavilion that the boys erected for the accomodation of their guests, is
really of all places the most delightful to spend a Fourth of July morning...The number of
friends that witnessed yesterday's races was unusually large, and the arrangements for their
entertainment were as perfect as they always are. The pavilion was erected to the west of
the boat house, and the canvas top shielded the spectators from the glare of the sun. The
boat house was profusely decorated with flags and bunting and the entire place was
crowded with people, all anxious to see how the different events resulted. The number of
young people was unusually large, which proves that the interest taken in new members of
