Sunday’s Obituary Charles Corliss Shackford, Jr (1910-1937), a Newburyport Native (Blog 468)

Newburyport Daily News and Newburyport Herald, 24 February 1937

Funeral services were held yester-
day at 2 o’clock for Charles Corliss
Shackford, Jr. son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Corliss Shackford at their
home, 217 Boston avenue, Medford.
He was born in Newburyport and was
26 years of age. Besides his parents
he leaves a wife, Pauline; a sister
Mrs Ruth Holstrom of Worcester, a
brother Robert and other relatives.
Committal services were held in Law-
rence.

Although Charles Corliss Shackford’s obituary states he was born in Newburyport, his birth record reflects that the son of Charles Corliss and Florence (Hey) Shackford  was born April 25, 1910 at 76 Tremont St in Lawrence, Massachusetts which was the home of Frances’ parents.  Interestingly he is listed as the NoName Son, age 0/12 on the 1910 Census at 46 Bromfield St in Newburyport, Massachusetts which is dated 18 April indicating that the census was probably taken a few days after April 15th.

In 1920 nine-year old Charles was in Philadelphia with his family where his father was working as a lumber inspector and in 1930 twenty year old Charles living with his parents and working as a clerk for a furrier.  In 1936 he married Pauline Grace McNaught and sadly died shortly thereafter at the age of 26 on February 10, 1937.  He was buried at the Bellevue Cemetery in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Wedding Wednesday – Carrie Marie Shackford in the 1900 Census on the Same Page Twice — with Her Parents as Single and 10 Lines Later as Married with Her New Husband (Blog 466)

Carrie Marie Shackford, the daughter of Edward Warren and Georgiana (Lee) Shackford was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts on March 15, 1880.  On June 5, 1880 the census taker recorded the 2/12 year old Carrie as living with her parents, her three year old brother Charles.

On April 15, 1900, twenty year old Carrie who was listed as 21 on her marriage record, married William M Healey, a widow who was listed as 39 years old on the marriage record. We’re not sure of William’s age as he is listed in the 1860 census as 3, the 1870 census as age 14, the 1880 census as age 21, in his first marriage in 1892 as age 34, and in the 1900 census as age 37.  We’d assume the earlier records are correct and that William was 44 when he married Carrie.

One June 7, 1900 Carrie was listed in the census records twice, once as the single daughter of Edward W Shackford living at 3 Hazelwood Street and later on the same page as the wife of William M Healey, living at 38 Munroe Street.

We don’t know who the census taker spoke to when they listed Carrie as single living with her parents – was it a neighbor who didn’t know she was now married or was it her parents who she hadn’t told that she’d gotten married?  What we can tell is that the two residencies were 1/3 mile from one another.

Two weeks after the census was taken, Carrie gave birth to a son, Lee S Healey, born on on June 26, 1900 who died of meningitis six months later.  Her second son, Stanley Kenneth Healey was born on December 10, 1901.

In 1910, Carrie had returned home to live with her parents while William was living elsewhere in Boston.  We haven’t learned what happened to William.  Carrie moved to Maine and married Ancel Dawson Brewer, a carpenter from Canada on July 23, 1919 who was eight years her junior.  They were married two years until she died of peritonitis at the age of 41 on May 11, 1921.  Mr Brewer married again in 1924 and died at the age of 83 on Dec 24, 1971.

CHILDREN:

Lee S Healey (1900-1901)

Stanley Kenneth Healey (1901-????) – married Mary Ellen Wilson and Alice Edith Southworth

Sunday’s Obituary – Mrs Melvina (Currier) Shackford (1840-1917) – Died on her 77th Birthday (Blog 465)

Mrs. Melvina C. Shackford, widow
of the late Granville Shackford, and
a highly esteemed lady, died Monday
morning at 4 o’clock in this city, at
the age of 77 years. Mrs. Shackford
made her home in Saco for many
year and went from there to Old
Orchard where she took an active
part in the Methodist church. She
was of a loving and kind disposition,
and her friends speak of her in glow-
ing terms for her many acts of kind-
ness.
Mrs. Shackford died on her birth-
day.
She is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Howard Gilpatric of Hingham,
and one grandson, Howard Gilpatric,
also of Hingham.

 

Melvina Currier was born to Oren and Patience (Hanson) Currier on July 30, 1840 in Dover, Maine.   Her mother died in Dec 1856 when she was 16 and father remarried in September 1857.  In 1860 Melina was living at home in Athens working as a factory hand and her father died in 1864.  By 1870 she had moved to Biddeford where she was running a boarding house for a cotton mill.

On June 12, 1872 Melvina married Granville Shackford, a civil war veteran.  They moved to Saco and lived on Boom Road where Granville had a farm and served on the city council.  By 1900 they had moved to Old Orchard where they resided until Granville’s death on December 11, 1916.  Granville’s pension was transferred to her on January 5, 1917 but she died six months later on July 30, 1917 in Biddeford.  She was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Saco.  We’re fortunate to have found her obituary which lets us know that she was very involved in the Methodist church and was loved by many in her community.

CHILDREN:

Jesse Maria Shackford (1873-1939) – married Howard Gilpatric in 1899.
