| 6854 | from review of Stienert Hall Recital in "The Boston Herald", 10 Nov 1911 (genealogybank.com) Gertrude Walker-Crowley soprano, give a recital last evening at Steinert Hall... It is the fashion of certain singers to rely chiefly upon their powers of imaginative interpretation; and when this reliance is based upon skillful management of a voice which may not in itself be of great beauty, the result is often effective. Others prefer to lay emphasis up the merely mechanical side of their art, and they are thus uninteresting as interpreters, although correct in execution. But when both execution and interpretation are lacking, it is reasonable to expect that there shall be some effort on the part of the singer toward even occasional correctness of intonation. Mrs. Walker-Crowley's voice is singularly unpleasant in quality. Last evening mismanagement of breath marred her technical proficiency in her singing and there was at all time a madding imperfection in intonation. Except for a few tones which were warm and sometimes brilliant, she filed to impart emotional color to her singing. Her interpretations were without the element of variety, and read laboriously from a book, the effect was that of a lesson being conned. The singer was at her best in "La Chanson der Patre," which gave excellent opportunity for her to show the attention to detail that marks her work. There was a small audience. | Walker, Gertrude (I3880)

| 6899 | From the Biographical History of Clark and Jackson Counties, Wisconsin, published by The Lewis Publishing Co., 1891 pages 197 and 198 (downloaded from Usgennet.org) REV. J. F. VOLZ is the present pastor of Saint Mary's Catholic Church at Neillsville, Wisconsin. Religious services were first held in the present church building in 1878. It is a substantial structure of brick, and was erected at a cost of 3,500. In connection with the church there is a school building, which was completed in 1887. St. Mary's Parochial School has an average attendance of seventy pupils. The parsonage, or priest's residence, is a comfortable dwelling, and the style of it is in keeping with the other surroundings. The congregation of St. Mary's Church numbers about one hundred and twenty-five families, about equally divided as residents of the town and adjoining country. Catholic religious services have been held in Neillsville regularly since 1876 previous to that date they were conducted only occasionally. Among the names prominent in the promotion of the interests of the church throughout its history should be mentioned that of Mr. James Furlong, who was truly one of its chief benefactors. He donated the land on which the church property is located, and was ever a liberal and earnest supporter of the church. He was highly esteemed, was a public-spirited citizen, and one of the honored pioneers of Neillsville his home was formerly in the State of Pennsylvania his death occurred in 1884. The Rev. Father Volz has had charge of this congregation since 1879. He has accomplished a great deal towards improving the church property in his time. When he came here the church was in a rough, unfinished state, and the congregation 1,000 in debt. The church and its surroundings have been much improved and the entire indebtedness removed through the faithful and energetic labors of the present pastor, and the hearty cooperation of the active members. The Rev. J.F. Volz was born at Prattsburgh, in the State of Indiana, January 1, 1857 the same year his father, Melchior Volz, removed his family to LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and they have since made it their home. Melchior Volz is a well-known citizen, and a retried businessman of the place. Father Volz received his earlier education in the parochial schools of LaCrosse, and was graduated from St. John's College at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin in 1873. He took his theological course at St. Francis Seminary near Milwaukee was ordained a priest November 9, 1879, by the late Archbishop Heiss, and was well fitted for the work he has chosen. His present charge is his first one, and he has exhibited a marked ability in its management. | Volz, Joseph Francis (I1210)

| 6900 | From The Corning Journal, 25 Oct 1877 Died, in Corning, N.Y., Oct. 21, 1877, at the residence of her son, Rev. M.L.P. Hill, Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Rev. Conrad Ten Eyck, and wife of the late Rev. Robert W. Hill, of Rochester, N.Y. Mrs. Hill was born in Schenectady, N.Y., June 26, 1803, adn was the last of a large family of children. She was converted at the age of twelve years, and was married to Mr. Hill, July 7, 1827. The daughter of a minister, having for an uncle the beloved Professor Perrine, of Auburn Theological Seminary; her husband pastor at East Bloomfield for twenty years, whence he removed to Rochester to occupy the editorial chair of the Genesee Evangelist, which at his death, twenty years ago, was merged into the American Presbyterian, and since that time living with her oldest son - her whole life has been related to the ministry of the Gospel. In her early life she was eminently social and active and in later years of sickness and suffering developed beautifully the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit; patient and unmurmuring, she feared lest she should not be resigned to the Master's will, yet praying to depart and be with Christ. Loving hands ministered cheerfully to her in her last years, and a kind people added their ministry of rarest flowers and helpful sympathy. "Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus." Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian Parsonage, on Tuesday afternoon. An excellent address was made by Rev. S.W. Pratt of Campbell, who spoke of the uncommon Christian usefulness of the deceased during her active life, and hoof her remarkable patience in the last few years, during most of which time she has been comparatively helpless and has endured severe and often intense and protracted pain. Rev. E.T. Green, Presiding Elder of the M.E. Church, Rev. G.W. Chandler, pastor of the M.E. Church and Rev. F.K. Fowler, Pastor of the Baptist Church, took part in the funeral services. On Wednesday, the remains were taken to Rochester to be buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, where the husband of the deceased was buried. Quite a number of friends from the city were present at the Chapel, at the entrance of the Cemetery, where religious services were held by Rev. S.M. Campbell, Pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church at Rochester. His remarks were exceedingly consoling, and were an admirable tribute to the memory of the deceased. | Ten Eyck, Elizabeth Anne “Betsey” (I1327)
