Snake Sent By Mail (1861)

Leave a reply

One Philander PIERCE lived unhappily with his wife, and she went alone to Chicago, where she received several sharp letters from him. One afternoon the clerks in the post-office, at the city named, were thrown into consternation by a series of agonized screams, evidently coming from a woman. Hastening to the spot whence the noise proceeded, they found Mrs. PIERCE speechless with terror, but able to point to a green adder, then crossing the floor and seeking the air of perfect freedom. Some of the men fled, but enough remained firm to capture the serpent, which was taken to the City Marshal’s office. There an explanation ensued. It seems that the woman had found a thin pasteboard box and a letter at the office, and had hastened to open the former, not doubting that it was a pledge of returning affection. She was surprised to hear from within at a slight hiss, and was quite transfixed with horror when, from the uncovered, prison, shot the ugly green head of the snake. Just then she dropped the box and the screams came in. The letter accompanying this infernal machine was hideously sarcastic, but not otherwise entertaining.

Archives of the Archdiocese of Chicago

St. Mary of the Lake Seminary
Mundelein, IL 60060

The Archdiocese Archives DOES NOT have ONLY records from inactive parishes. I am aware of Sacramental records they have for 3 very active north suburban parishes.

The problem at the Archdiocese Archives is that the archivist (Sylvia @ ext.722) does not seem to know what records are there, and if you are calling long distance (I have never reached her by my phone call) despite what her voice mail message says about calling you right back, it was always over a week before she would return a call, if ever.

Sylvia will send you a form which requires you to provide virtually ALL the info that is on the Sacramental record that you want. For $20, she will research the records and send you a certified copy.

Julia (@ ext. 728) does seem knowledgeable. She has, while I waited on the phone, checked for me on what Sacramental records and dates for particular parishes, that are in their archives. Julia can make an appointment (very limited availability) for you to come in and research the Sacramental records they have.

My suggestions:
1) I would always first call the parish, if still active.
2) I would go to a FHC and check what parish records are available there.
3) As a last resort, try the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Misc. Voter Records

1864 Alien Voters

“We present the names of a sweet-scented crowd in this issue–sneaks and copperheads — who on the day of the last charter election voted for Sherman.

Just as soon as there was a remote prospect of a draft, this fragrant crowd started straight for the British Counsul’s office, and secured their “exemption papers.”

These are the chaps who have loudly prated in years gone by, of their regard for the Constitution and laws. The Irish element of course largely predominates.
