I had just checked the light on a nice graffiti wall in Toronto’s Kensington Market after photographing Kaley (#848 in my project). The light was excellent and I figured if I saw another interesting subject before leaving the Market for home, I would pose them near the wall. He walked toward me on the sidewalk. Ask and you shall be rewarded. His appearance was more formal than is the norm in this artist’s colony neighborhood where dreadlocks and tattoos are more the norm. He also had a face with a lot of character.
I approached him and although he didn’t stop, he did slow to hear my request. People who keep walking are usually avoiding getting tied down to deal with someone they don’t know. Slowing down, however, represents uncertainty - something to be worked with. When I said I could make the photograph in a couple of minutes tops, he shrugged and said “Well, ok.” Meet Seth who told me he was on his way home. He must work nights.
I explained I wanted to use the wall just around the corner as a background and I sense his hesitation again but he followed me and understood my plan. I positioned him and took a quick photo or two and then asked if he would mind removing his sunglasses which he did. I said he dressed well and asked if he always took such care with his appearance. He looked embarrassed and said “Yes. I like to be presentable.” Photo taken he was ready to move on. He said he didn’t need a copy of the photo and declined the card with a subtle smile and was on his way. I asked a quick “Where are you from originally?” and he replied “Ghana.”
Thank you Seth for pausing on your way home to meet and be photographed for The Human Family. Meeting you was brief but pleasant and you did have a nice look on the streets of Kensington Market.

I took a lot of pictures of Skillet at Darien Lake, NY on July 31, 2019. I ended up with over 1,200 pictures when I downloaded them to the computer. So, I'll have to post a bunch of them as I go through them and find the best ones. Here are Korey Cooper and Seth Morrison playing their guitars.
A common question for the new visitor to the Daphne & Seth household: Why do you guys have so many bikes? Answer: See notes. Also, there's another bike not pictured and a bike-to-be also not pictured.
Seth Lakeman performing at Shrewsbury Folk Festival.
Seth is from Dartmoor, in SW England, and has recently been noticed by the media in a big way. Mainstream appreciation for a "folk" artist is very rare indeed. Check him out on iTunes or myspace. His newly re-released album "Freedom Fields" is excellent, but you have to see him live to really appreciate his talent. Not forgetting his band, who are also superb musicians.

Seth Harris Putnam was born in Rumford, Maine to Israel and Ruth Walton Putnam on April 20th, 1830. Located in the foothills of the White Mountains, Rumford is the site of Pennacook Falls, called by historians as the grandest waterfall in New England. Rumford is where the Androscoggin River drops 177 feet over a solid granite cliff and Seth spent much of his childhood fishing and playing below the falls.
Because of the waterfalls and the powerful river, the area was crowded with grist and sawmills and Seth spent much of his teen years working those mills, learning how to turn rough logs into fine lumber. The Putnams were craftsmen, building fine furniture, fancy homes, and barns across Oxford county.
Seth also found time to follow another passion: the fiddle. He was a rockstar of his generation and had a passion for music. He played all the dances and social get-togethers in the Oxford area. By the time he was 14, he was in demand as a fiddle player and seldom a Saturday passed when he wasn't playing a dance. Seth was well-liked by all and his handsome good looks made him a favorite amongst the fairer sex.
When it came time to choose a trade he decided not to spend his life in the mills. Instead, he took up leathercraft and was one of the finest boot, harness, and saddlemakers in Oxford County. Seth also helped on the large family farm where they raised subsistence crops like corn, grain, hay, milk, and cheese. The Putnams were very successful in Maine because the family had so many diverse enterprises, their lumber and furniture were in demand as was their leathercrafts but it was Seth's bee and leather operations that brought in barter goods for just about everything needed for the table.
Seth worked and eventually got his own farm but in his 30's he was still a handsome bachelor living a popular existence...until he met the daughter of a well-to-do family from neighboring Mexico, Maine...the lovely Athlinda Isabel Philbrick Mason. Her husband left her at age 27, she was educated, stunning and had a 5-year old daughter by the name of Emma Mason. She and Seth married on a cold, winter night on the 27th of January, 1861. Putnam set out to build a farm as grand as his bride's family. The following spring he built a house with a large living room designed for fiddle playing and Athalinda's entertaining, she was an accomplished organist. The home was one of the first with indoor running water a large kitchen that featured a covered walkway to the barn 40 feet away. In the harsh Maine winters Seth his bride and step-daughter could harness up their sleigh in the comfort of the barn without getting wet; an unheard-of luxury in Rumford.
The Putnam's were bedrock members of Oxford County's elite. The family prospered in every way but by the spring of 1863, Seth began to explore his spiritually and the lives of the family changed forever.
Mormon missionaries visited the family and after a long courtship with the gospel they converted...the elders saw a lot of potential in the young couple. Seth and Athalinda's musical skills could pack a church on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Bringing the Putnams into the fold was also a coup because they had scores of friends and family including the Walton clan, Seth's uncles, and cousins from his mother's side. The Putnams and Waltons were pillars of the community, skilled and hardworking, well educated, musical, and well to do. They were all biblical scholars, mill workers, farmers, the families so talented that they could make a saddle a fine pair of boots, a fiddle, then build a house or run a dairy. And as hard as they worked, on Saturday night the Putnams and Waltons played the dances, their fiddle work was legendary.
The Putnam's were god-fearing, salt of the earth people, yet lived life with an independent passion. This new Mormon life fit them and many more friends and relatives followed them when they answered the call to Zion.
Seth's Testimony
"When the missionaries came to Rumford their preaching created excitement in our town but had little effect for nearly three years &at first it was a constant bother to my feelings. I became dissatisfied with all religions and myself. In the elders' passing through Oxford frequently stopped at my house, and in discussing with them the principles of the gospel, they would cuff me about like a rag doll. I came to the conclusion that the reason for my being handled so easily was because I did not understand the Bible nor the Book of Mormon.
I prepared myself for their visits by investigating the two books. I furnished myself with the Book of Mormon& commenced the Book of Mormon and the Bible, compared the two and read my Bible from Genesis right through, praying and searching for six months& when I finished the two books I became a believer in the Book of Mormon. I was then taught by the spirit to obey the principles of the gospel. My feelings were not known by any but my wife. I was proud to obey the gospel& labored under those feelings for three months till baptized.
To be called a Mormon was a heavy burden to carry. I lamented this but it was my lot and it was cast. I at last covenanted before the Lord that if he would give me the confidence to face the world in Zion, I would be baptized for the remission of my sins; when I arose from my knees my mind was cleared & feared no man."
Soon word had come from Salt Lake City from the church, beekeepers were needed in the land of Deseret. To say they were destined is an understatement...Brigham Young himself sent word through the mission field that they needed the beekeepers and honey in Deseret. But joining the church was not without controversy Athalinda's parents and many gentiles in Rumford and Mexico and other parts of Oxford county disowned the Latter Day Saints. For many Waltons and Putnam, it was time to make a long journey West for a new start and an exciting way of life.
The Putnam's tried to sell off their belongings but the aftermath of the Civil War had turned the economy upside down, people were out of work in the mills and many starved, Seth, his brothers, and mother sold off their handsome estates for a fraction of the fortune spent a lifetime building. They carefully packed tools that would help in the land of Zion: a few queen bees, carpentry, leather and forging tools, his fiddle, a small pipe organ, his daughter, but few household items neatly packed in six trunks. From Boston, they took one of the first steam engines west to Salt Lake in 1869, where Seth started a new life with his mother, brothers, and family in tow. To get to Salt Lake a single ticket was $126, Seth had to buy at least 3 tickets, in todays dollars that's the equivilent of nearly $15-thousand dollars!
A dangerous transcontinental trip that took 5 months just the year before now took an astonishing 10 days by rail. But it was an exotic and expensive trip that only a few could afford. Despite the staggering expense, railcars were spartan with hard, crowded benches to sit on and it was freezing cold at night, stuffy hot during the days. Stops, both planned and unplanned were frequent...food was wildly inconsistent. Passengers packed their own and bought what was needed at the stops which were seasonal and expensive.
Seth and Athalinda dressed in their Sunday best, he carried daughter Angie, Emma hovered close to her mother. In Seth's vest pocket, he carried two small boxes that contained his prized Italian queen bees. The rest of the Putnam and Waltons settled in but it was Seth that was a hit on the rails. There was nothing to do in the stuffy cars, reading was impossible because of the rough railbeds and lack of suspension in the railcars. Talking was a chore because of the noise...but Seth's fiddle was a delicious luxury for the travelers who crowded around their seats to hear him play, many sang along, some danced, the adulation and applause was intoxicating and Seth played almost non stop and loved every second of it.
Early rail travel was a hardship, an early 1st class passenger riding the same route from Boston to Ogen described the ordeal:
There was, of course, much suffering amongst passengers, and few who could not afford to buy supplies & who were cooped up in ordinary cars. How they managed to eat, live, & sleep with two people in each seat will always be a marvel to me. On one occasion as a matter of curiosity, I walked through one of the cars simply to see how matters were & I can assure you that the condition was even worse than a pigsty. Such a mess of filth, foul air, and dirty people I never want to see again. The railroad people were so lazy that they refused to clean the cars, and, on the few occasions of cleaning, the passengers did it themselves. It is a wonder to me that a pestilence did no go through the trains for there was enough filth to breed one.
When they arrived at Ogden a letter was sent home to the family left behind, only the first part of the letter remains:
"All;
We landed here on the 12th of June, 1869, & took a side trip & heard Brother Brigham Young preach at the great Tabernacle. We sought him out afterward & he said many kind things to our company. The brother is strong in spirit & touch.
On the 14th of June, we were called to the North Canyon Ward a place called Bountiful & this name is appropriate, both because of the city's gardens and orchards and too, because Bountiful, the city from the Book of Mormon, Alma 52:9.
We commenced work with the brethren on the church farm in orchards and then worked on a molasses mill for a gallon of molasses per day. When the work was over we were given a city lot and homestead. We dug a hole in the ground and put atop of eleven logs and called it a dug-out; myself Ath & Emma and little Angie Lee prepared there for the winter, a small cabin and barn was built for ma and Horatio and all quite contented. We bowed down and blessed it and dedicated it for our happy home with great mountains to the east & the Great Lake to the other. We had a splendid supper composed of pork beans, shortcake, Honeycomb, coffee, milk &c &c we all eat vary Harty, Had prayers & retired to bed
On Sunday had quite a lengthy lecture in sacrament about the first principle of the Gospel, what we came to this world to perform what we had prepared our selves to do while in the world of spirits; showing that it was our choice to come in this dispensation and had the choice of our lineage and the whole summed together was edifying.
My brothers dropped off hides, now busy making shoes and boots for trades of horse, ox, cow."
Yours;
Seth
Horatio and Seth Putnam took Bountiful by storm. The newcomers from Maine were handsome, solidly built, and hard workers. They were also devout and proudly held the priesthood. They were active in the Mountain ward, worked on the church farm for tithing, and found many jobs downtown. Horatio landed a job at the lumber yard, which supplemented their small farm, their honey and orchard operation, not to mention their makeshift blacksmith shop. On Friday and Saturday nights the Putnam's played Ward's dances. A feat that didn't go unnoticed in Salt Lake by Brother Young...a music lover himself.
Brother Young called on Seth often to his home in Salt Lake where he played his fiddle many times.
Seth Kinman, 1815-1888
Hunter, frontiersman, saloon keeper, entertainer, and famous chair maker. Five of his chairs were given to U.S. Presidents James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford Hayes, and Grover Cleveland. He appears to have developed a friendship with Lincoln and was part of his funeral cortege. One of the chairs is now in the Rutherford Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, Ohio.
Historically, Kinman was a controversial figure and a teller of very tall tales that varied considerably with each telling. He died of a gunshot wound, having accidentally shot himself in the leg.

Every building surrounding the close is rather special. This is the College of Matrons and its original purpose when set up in 1682 was the following:
The College of Matrons is one of Dr Seth Ward's charitable foundations. He established it in 1682 to provide housing for 10 widows of clergymen in the Salisbury and Exeter diocese (a huge area, since the Exeter diocese then included Cornwall). It was the first charitable foundation by a bishop of Salisbury within the Close since the 13th century. The charity was probably modelled on the matronal college founded by Bishop Moberly at Winchester in 1673 and the title 'college' was similarly chosen to avoid the demeaning associations of 'hospital' in the 17th century. Ward bought the freehold of the site from Thomas Hawkes, a city merchant, and the building work was completed by Thomas Glover of Harnham at a total cost of £1,193 12s 6d. For many years it was thought to have been designed by Wren, but it now seems more likely that Glover was both architect and builder.
According to the original statutes, the residents were to be 'widows at least 50 years old, of good fame and reputation and prudent and religious behaviour'. Each would receive pocket money of 6 shillings a week and would have her own garden but there was a communal pump and privy. The gates were to be closed at 8 p.m. each evening. Generous as these terms would appear, there seems to have been at least one rebellion, for in October 1694 the matrons were summoned before the Dean and Chapter to have the college statutes read out to them.
