- "Double Irish Chain"
Double Rose Double Irish Chain quilt by Ida
Pierson-Elam (1890-1976). Ida lived on a farm in northwest
Missouri and was divorced in 1922. She was left alone to
work her farm and raise and support her 12 year old son. Ida
was an independent, self-made woman, working as a quilter;
driving the school wagon pulled by horses; as a telephone
operator; executive housekeeper and cafeteria worker at a
nursing home for 20 years.
This is a photo of Ida in 1912 with
her son, Gifford Pierson Elam. Tragically, Gifford died at
age 27 on his wife's 21st birthday, when their son, Bill,
was only 3 years old. These quilts were bought from Bill
Elam, who took care of Ida in his home the last few years of
her life. He said the quilts had to have been made in 1935
or before since Ida's eyesight didn't allow her to continue
quilting after that. A copy of Ida's photo will be included
with purchase.
Great triple borders. Wow graphics!!

Jean
passed away in March and was survived by brother George &
Lucille Harpster, Ponca City,Brian
& Louise Harpster of Bentonville, AR
and Val & Margaret Brewer of Tulsa. Jean’s
great uncle (?)
George Beidler and his 11 year old son Chase
left family and friends in their hometown of Middletown,
Pennsylvania on the Santa Fe train to come to the frontier
army outpost of what is now Oklahoma City before the 1889
Land Run as the first Postmaster appointed by President
Harrison. They bought an old Sooner Log Cabin for $5 and
moved it fifty yards west of the railroad at Main and Grand.
His wife had made a huge U.S. flag to fly over the first
Post Office. They hammered together long boards for a table
to sort the mail, which doubled as their bed. They opened
for business five days before the run. Because of the
avalanche of mail, they delivered the mail by calling names
and dumped papers on the floor for patrons to sort through.
They built a new three-story brick building at 111 N.
Broadway, the finest building in town and is still standing.
George was elected the City Registrar of Deeds.
George served four years in the Civil War as First
Lieutenant of the 106th Illinois Infantry and was
active in the Grand Army of the Republic. He died in 1921 at
age 79, survived by his son Chase and daughter Bernice (Mrs.
Frank M. Hughes) George’s
son Chase helped him in the post office until he became a
clerk in the Oklahoma City Abstract office in the early
1900’s . Because he tired of copying documents by hand, he
patented the idea and process of photographing documents and
founded the Rectigraph Company in 1906 which he moved to
Rochester, NY. He was so suspicious of people stealing his
emulsion formula for coating photo copy papers, that he
carried the data in his head and insisted on mixing it
himself. A bit eccentric, Chase was often mistaken for the
janitor in his shabby clothes. His employees loved him
because he believed all work should cease at 3:00 p.m. He
himself worked seven days a week and took no vacation. He
designed and built his own airplane but never got the nerve
to fly it, instead just taxied it around a vacant field. He
hired a pilot to fly it. He sold his business and patent
three years later to Haloid Co, which is now Xerox. |
