Ella Flagg Young (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Richard Norton said:
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ella_Flagg_Young She was born in Buffalo, New York to Theodore and Jane (Reed) Flagg in 1845. She didn't attend school until the age of ten, after teaching herself how to read and write at age 10. After only a few months she dropped out because she wasn't being intellectually challenged and the lack of support from her parents. At age 15 Ella took the certification examination to become a teacher and passed but was told she was too young to be a teacher. Ella was told she would never make it as a teacher by her mother but persevered on decided to set up her own practicum to test her potential in the classroom. Ella decided the classroom was right for her and she graduated in 1862 from the Chicago Normal School. She later studied at the University of Chicago under John Dewey at age 55 and received her Ph.D. in 1900.

J.K. Hackett and wife (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    James Keteltas Hackett (1869-1926) was a Canadian-born American stage actor. The first Mrs. J. K. Hackett was Engilsh stage actress Mary Mannering (1876-1953); the couple married in 1897. They had one child, Elise. In 1908, Mary began divorce proceedings, but then called them off; in 1909, James had financial problems enough to make the papers. In time, James Hackett married English actress Beatrice Mary Beckley (b. 1885, married Hackett in 1911), and Mary Mannering married another man, Frederick E. Wadsworth. If this image was made in 1914, that should be the second Mrs. Hackett, Beatrice Mary Beckley. Beatrice and James starred together in a 1913 film of The Prisoner of Zenda. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Keteltas_Hackett www.imdb.com/name/nm0065773/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Mannering

    pennylrichardsca: thanks for the research on James Keteltas Hackett and his wife Beatrice Mary Beckley. Photos of him in younger days can be found at the New York Public Library, such as this one: digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?TH-17856 A portrait by Arnold Genthe of Beatrice is in the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog: www.loc.gov/pictures/item/agc1996007424/PP/ We will expand the description when we update the database.

    NYT of June 26, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0714FD3F5E13738... has Hackett returning from Europe on the Imperator, having left on March 31. NYT of April 1, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B05EFD71730E733A... confirms that Hackett sailed on the Lusitania on March 31, 1914.
