Title: Diaries of Mary Ann Ette “Nettie” Converse Lord, of Parker, South Dakota and Long Beach, California, wife of banker Louis Kossuth Lord, 1897-1931
Author: Lord, Mary Ann Ette “Nettie” Converse
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: 22 volumes, small quartos. comprising approximately 7,947 manuscript pp. of diary entries plus approximately 341 manuscript pp. of memoranda, notes, cash accounts and bills payable; dated 1897- 1900, 1903-1905, 1907-1908, 1913, 1917, 1919-1920, 1922-1924, 1926-1931; one day entry per page format; most volumes are bound in either ½ or ¼ red, or black leather, with mainly pebbled cloth covered boards; two volumes lack spines, 1 volume has spine almost detached; another volume has spine badly chipped; the entries in all volumes written in ink, in a legible hand; most volumes stuffed with various ephemeral items, such as newspaper clippings, handwritten notes, thank you notes, some letters, printed programs and circulars, invitations, calling cards, even a couple of swatches of fabric, etc. The collection is notable for the length of time that the diarist recorded the events of her life; the collection comprises nearly a daily record of twenty-two years of her life's experience. Lord wrote nearly every day, except for a brief period in 1929 when she had an eye operation. The diaries recount the everyday domestic life and activities of the Lord family, friends, church friends, etc., life in the town of Parker, South Dakota, and later in Long Beach, California, the entries record and document her various activities: including involvement in a local orchestra, various church organizations (Ladies Aid Society, Missionary Society, etc.). Mary Ann Ette "Nettie" Converse Lord (1853-1933) Mary Ann Ette "Nettie" Converse was born 5 August 1853 in Stafford Springs, Connecticut. She died in 1933 and was buried in Stafford Springs Cemetery, Stafford Springs, Tolland Co., Connecticut. She was the daughter of woolen manufacturer Orrin Converse (1822-1915), of Stafford Springs and his wife Maryetta Smith (1823-1876). Both of her parents were Connecticut natives. Converse, upon the death of his wife, married again, to Ellen Forbes (1835-1906). Converse had two other children with his first wife: Reuben Solva Converse (1845-1920) and Anner Frances Converse Clisby (1856-1936). Anne attended Wesleyan Academy at Stafford Springs; Nettie presumably also attended this school. Nettie's father Orrin was the son of Capt. Solva Converse (1790-1877) and Esther Blodgett (1790-1880). Nettie married banker Louis Kossuth Lord (1851-1930) on 29 October 1872 in Norwich, Connecticut. Lord was born on 31 December 1851 in Connecticut. His father John Knight Lord (1809-1891) was from Maine and had moved down to Stafford Springs; his mother Sarah Spellman (1811-1896) was from Connecticut. Louis predeceased Nettie, dying in 1930. He was also buried in Stafford Springs Cemetery. Louis K. Lord, worked as a printer (1870) when a young man, and later as a clothing merchant (1880), when he first married Nettie. He later went into banking, becoming the president of the First National Bank of Parker, South Dakota. There is a newspaper (Mitchell Dailey Republican – 18 Sept. 1886) article showing that Lord may have moved out to Parker by at least 1886, as he is shown as an officer in a local Parker, South Dakota, fraternal lodge. By 1890 another newspaper (The Daily Plainsman, Huron, South Dakota – 2 April 1890) shows him already involved in banking, and by 1891 he was the president of the First National Bank. The 1900 Census finds Nettie enumerated at Parker Township, Turner County, South Dakota. In 1900 her husband was listed as president of a bank and they owned their home. Nettie was listed as having had two children but both were s dead by 1900. Lord is listed in a business directory for 1906-1907 for "Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Montana," listed as "Lord & Clisby, dealers in First Mortgage Loans, Insurance, Abstractors to all Lands in Turner County, Parker, S. Dakota." The Clisby half of the "Lord & Clisby," partnership is Frederick L. Clisby (1863-1942), he was Lord's brother-in-law. Frederick L. Clisby married Nettie Converse Lord's sister Anner Frances Converse. Clisby's parents were originally from Massachusetts. His father, L. Clisby, was a miller, who moved to Macomb, Illinois, where Frederick was born, he then moved to Waupun, Wisconsin and by the year 1881, he founded the Parker Flouring Mill in Parker, South Dakota. The 1885 South Dakota State Census finds Frederick working as a bank clerk. This would have been Gale & Stone's Bank, which was founded in 1880 and appears to have been the only bank in the town in 1885. The Gale & Stone bank was a private bank and eventually it evolved into the First National Bank of Parker. Clisby was assistant cashier for two years, and then became the cashier, and eventually he and Lord took control of the bank. The town of Parker was only established in 1879 as the county seat for Turner County; it was incorporated as a city in 1883, thus the Clisbys were Parker pioneers. The C. M. & St. P. Railroad was completed to Parker in July 1879, and was a factor leading to the organization of the town. In Moody's Manual of Railroads and Corporation Securities," published in 1906, we find Louis K. Lord listed as president of the First National Bank in Parker, South Dakota; N. Cornish the vice president; J.W. Watson, cashier; with the directors being: N.M. Lord; A.C. Clisby; N. Cornish; F.L. Clisby; and Louis K. Lord; all of Parker, South Dakota. This listing would seem to indicate that both Nettie and her sister Anner and their husbands, were all directors of this bank. Entries in the diary appear to show that the women were not active in making decisions for the bank, but were likely on the board for their votes, as Nettie mentions "This evening went to Bank meeting…took my book and read Lorna Doone." In 1901 Lord & Clisby purchased the Exchange Bank at Menno, South Dakota from Jacob Schnaidt & Son. About the year 1915, the Lord and Clisby families sold the First National Bank, as the bank is found having been taken over by Princeton graduate Fred S. Hill and his brother Rodney. The Hill brothers also bought the Lord & Clisby Abstract Co. of Parker, South Dakota. Louis K. Lord was active in the South Dakota State Historical Society. Mrs. Lord and her sister Anner, and Anner's husband Fred, were members of the Parker orchestra, in which Mrs. Lord played violin, her sister Anner cornet, and her brother-in-law also played cornet. Fred Clisby also served as an alderman of Parker at one time. Mrs. Lord also appears to have been active in the local Parker, South Dakota chapter of the Woman's Missionary Society, Southern Dakota Presbytery, the organization not only did missionary work in South Dakota, but also at Sitka, Alaska, Anadarko, Oklahoma, and Synen Chyen, Korea and Puerto Rico (as per a program laid into the diary of 1908). The 1920 Census shows Nettie and her husband living in Long Beach, California, they apparently moved to California upon Lord's retirement. The city directories list them in Long Beach till at least 1927. Louis K. Lord died at Stafford, Connecticut on 5 August 1930 and was buried there. Nettie died three years later in Stafford and was buried in the family plot. Sample Quotes from Diaries: "Tuesday January 12, 1897 Cloudy. Col. Commenced snowing at 4 o'clock. Anner came for milk this morning. Prof. Stevens called for 2nd violin music belonging to orchestra. Music loaned to Methodist. We had a long discussion as to music, religion, heaven and earth.

This evening spent an hour at the bank with Mr. Cornish, Fred and Koss, it being the annual bank meeting. Came home at eight o'clock and read Ardath until Koss came, when I wasn't talking with Nellie McGlumphy through the telephone." "Sunday, January 24, 1897 Windy and cold. We were up late this morning.

This evening I have finished the vain imaginative visionary book Ardath. I consider was time foolishly spent. Received a letter from Nellie McG & wrote Miss McG this evening." "Wednesday, April 28, 1897 Cold and windy though not dirty.Nell was over here this morning before going to school. Trouble is ended. I have spent the forenoon in practice and since dinner finished reading a book, A Window in Thrums. I think time is thrown away reading such books. I fail to find any thing in the story good, bad, or indifferent. Returned Bell Waterbury's book, but found neither she or Mrs. Danforth at home. Sylvia came again and spent the afternoon. We walked up and met Koss when coming for supper. I attended prayer meeting this eve. There was an attendance of over twenty. The subject was the promises of God."

All for Alice Goddard who was entertained this afternoon at Mrs. Branch with the Sunday school officers and teachers. We had a jolly time as soon as we arrived. There we were given a piece of linen and told to make something. All did so and at its close Anner and I made some poetry; Fishy fishy in the brook Grandpa catch him with a hook Alice fry him in the spider Eddie eat him like a tiger. Linen doilies made in a whirl Some were straight and some in a curl All were busy as busy could be And many good wishes were said for thee.

Gamble, Miss Conklin, Mrs. Harmon, Miss Wilson, Miss Quigley, Mrs. Clisby, Miss Howard, Mrs. Cornish, Miss Warner, Mrs. Oastler, Miss Chase." "Friday, May 18, 1900 Beautiful Day This afternoon went to church to see about the drawing. Attended the Physical Culture Club, the last one of the season. We did not have quite as nice a time as formerly too many strangers were in. This eve I spent at Dr. Robinson's with the other players of the stringed instruments to practice for the commencement music. We were nicely entertained with cake and chocolate. Winds had a nice practice until after nine o'clock." "Friday, September 28, 1900 Warm. Attended missionary meeting this afternoon at Mrs. Conklin's, eight ladies were present.

We went down to breakfast at 7:30. After breakfast I went out to walk to get warm. Walked past the Corn Palace which is a very handsome structure. Soon Mrs. Silsby appeared and we walked up to her house, then she took me to the houses of two of her friends, which are new and very pretty. It gave me some pretty ideas. I came home at 11 o'clock. Miss McCauley, Mrs. Hetrick and Mrs. Wadle came down to Bridgewater. They were very much surprised to see me. Fred met me at the depot and walked home with me. This afternoon I rested. Walked over to Anner's this eve. Sylvia come to remain all-night. Mrs. Kibbe and Mrs. Smith are the names of the new houses I visited in Mitchell with Mrs. Silsby." "Friday, August 11, 1905 Very warm. Went over to Anner's before breakfast. Mrs. Cornish was with me. We watered plants and shipped geraniums. Practiced a long time on violin and took a nap before dinner. After dinner I went to the church and sewed on the new carpet. Mrs. Oastler and Mrs. Cass came.

Koss, Mrs. Danforth, Arthur, and Mr. Gates met me at the depot. We had a fine ride up to the Presb church in Mr. Gates auto, a Buick. I remained at the church and met several ladies. Mrs. Falgatter and Mrs. Cotton were present. Dinner was served in the church basement. It was a delicious dinner. Mr. McCawley acted as toastmaster. The responses were given by men in their native tongue. Bohemian, German, Dutch, Scotch and English. After the afternoon's programs, my part, and Mrs. Gotthelf's, I went home with her and helped her get supper for the crowd. Mrs. Falgatter, Mrs. Cotton, Florence Falgatter, Sylvia and Mary Hirst. I picked our strawberries and made cabbage salad. M had a lovely time all around. Max brought me to the train with his baby in his carriage.

"Friday, March 22, 1929 High fog until afternoon. At 1:30 P.M. Koss & Will took me to the doctor's office. Dr. McKellan & Thompson both say an operation tomorrow on my eyes at Pasadena. Mrs. Crocker went down with us, and returned. She went down on street car for me to Buffum's for me underwear. Rec'd letter from Carl of Lucin's severe illness at Esther's." [After this entry the diary is blank from March 23rd to May 14th, at which time the Nettie begins the diary again, however, her handwriting became increasing shaky, perhaps due to her eye operations. It remains like this until the day her husband died (5 Aug 1930), when the handwriting becomes rather normal again.] "Tuesday, August 5, 1930 L.K. Lord, died at 1:30 P.M. Koss Will, Mrs. B. Crocker, and I drove to the harbor district. We sat there for some time watching them unload lumber and working in the harbor. Koss enjoyed watching them. As the Japs bought fruit and vegetables, Koss and Jap woman bid each other good bye. After we came home, Koss wrote a letter to little junior, sent five dollars for him, and his brothers, also little cousins Priscilla and Louis. I laid on the couch and listened. After dinner Koss sat on the porch. I laid down. In a little while he came in the house sick, sat on the couch, and in ten minutes expired. The neighbors were all in helping. Doctor Atwood was called, but Koss was gone before the doctor arrived. Will and Cora in Pomona couldn't reach them. Bern Webster went over later in the evening and told them…"

Title: Historia do Brasil Progresso e Ordem [History of Brazil Progress and Order]
Author: [Japanese in Brazil]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [Tokyo?]: Kyouiku Kenkyuu Kai [Education and Research Group], 1958. Very good.. [5],5,106,[6]pp. Original pictorial wrappers, marbled paper spine. Spine mostly perished, moderate soiling, staining, and minor scuffing to wrappers. Occasional light foxing to text. First edition of this interesting history of Brazil, printed mostly in Japanese but with section headings and other elements printed in Portuguese. The text is an abridged version of Rocha Pombo's multi-volume Historia do Brazil, probably as a textbook for first-generation Japanese students in Brazil who are also learning native Portuguese. The work is printed in the Japanese style, and mimeographed or printed in a similar stencil-based method. The text is supplemented with numerous maps, illustrations, and portrait drawings related to Brazilian history. Three of the more striking illustrations occur in the first chapter, depicting a pair of indigenous Brazilians and an indigenous housing structure. The text begins with a chapter focused on the "Principais grupo de indigenas" and "A sociedade dos indigenas," and also includes sections on the western discovery of Brazil, the establishment of early colonies, the general government, agricultural history, slavery ("o trafico de negros"), various historical wars and revolts, the dynasty period, Brazilian independence, the early days of the republic, Brazil in the 20th century, and much more. Biographical passages of notable Brazilian figures are peppered throughout the text. This intriguing edition of Pombo's history of Brazil, most likely designed for Japanese students, does not appear in OCLC.

Condition: Very good
Description: New York: William Sloane Associates, Inc, 1946. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Very good/near fine. The first edition of Thunder Out Of China, signed by Theodore H. White and Annalee Jacoby, the first book from Theodore H. White.. Octavo, xvi, 331pp, [1]. Blue cloth, title stamped in copper gilt on the spine. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page. Illustrated endpapers. A few pencil notes and underlined passages. Rubbing along lower edge of boards. Solid text bock. In the publisher's dust jacket, price clipped, light toning along margins of rear panel, a near fine example. Signed opposite the title page: "Hello again / Annalee Jacoby / Theodore H. White." Thunder Out of China is a first-person account of China during World War II, focusing on the Sino-Japanese conflict and the collapse of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. It provided one of the first in-depth American perspectives on the political corruption, military disarray, and popular suffering that plagued China in the 1930s and 1940s. It was both widely read and influential, shaping U.S. public opinion about China's internal struggles and helping to explain the eventual Communist victory in 1949.
