Canon 5D Mark IV - Fallen Birch Tree, Whipple Hill, Lexington, Mass.
Example image from Canon 5D Mark IV Experience guide to the EOS 5DIV
Annette has had the Whipple procedure to remove a cancer mass from her pancreas. It started with some abdominal pains and blood-work. Liver enzymes were high, then an ultrasound, which was negative. She was jaundiced then a liver biopsy and CT scan. Next an endoscopic exam finding a blocked bile duct. From the CT scan a mass was seen and the specialist surgeon was contacted by the GI surgeon who in turn called Annette as soon as he returned from Europe from being on vacation. We saw him quickly and he cancelled a scheduled endoscopic ultrasound and ordered an operating room as soon as possible.
Staff had said originally that the first appointment available with this surgeon was October 17. The surgeon later said that if we had waited for that appointment it would have been too late to do anything for her.
You have to believe in miracles and guardian angels. Maybe it is what she does for work, she is the director of religious education at our church. Having connections to God might be an advantage. We have to be thankful for our health plan, Kaiser Permanente for their proactive
For those of you who knew what was happening and kept Annette in your thoughts and prayers, I thank you each and everyone profusely. She is my gift from God.
St. Cornelia's Episcopal Church at the Lower Sioux Reservation near Morton, Minnesota.
In 1860, Dakota Chief Wabasha and two other Dakota men, Good Thunder and Taopi had asked Episcopal Bishop Henry Whipple to start a church and school on the reservation. In 1862, a cornerstone for the church was selected by Chief Wabasha and laid by Whipple. Most Minnesotans should know what happened next; the U.S./Dakota Conflict of 1862. The work on the church was almost finished, but it was destroyed during the conflict. After the conflict, hundreds of Dakota were exiled and it was over 20 years before they came back.
When the Dakota returned, church construction began on land that Good Thunder donated. The same cornerstone that was laid in 1862 was laid again, and construction began around 1889. The new church, named St. Cornelia's after Bishop Whipple's wife, Cornelia, was consecrated in 1891. Most of the construction was done by locals on the reservation.
According to the Minnesota Historical Society in their NRHP application,
"St. Cornelia's Episcopal Mission Church is a small Gothic Revival structure of granite native to the area. The cruciform plan building includes a crenelated tower at the north transcept and a small narthex extension at the entrance (west facade). Battered buttresses mark the bays of the nave of the church. Memorials include a rose window on the upper front gable for Bishop Henry Whipple's wife, Cornelia, and an arched window over the altar for Rev. S.D. Hinman, who began mission work with the Dakota during the Agency period. Interior walls are of brick and rafters are exposed."
The church is still being used in 2018, although recently a section of the granite on the outside of the back of the church collapsed. I am unsure if the damage compromised the building or not.
St. Cornelia's is listed to the National Register of Historic Places.

Vignetted portrait, possibly a copy of an earlier image, with "Whipple's Patent" stamped on the mat.
"Ladies, PLEASE! Don't squeeze the Charmin!" Character actor Dick Wilson played store owner George Whipple in TV commercials for Procter & Gamble's Charmin bathroom tissue from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s, obsessing over his customers squeezing the displayed packages of toilet paper, often bringing his obsession to absurd heights. In one commercial he even brought in a robot to enforce his rule, but of course that too backfired.
This picture is from a 1970 print advertisement.
"'Blasting stumps' on the Isted Farm. Whipple Photo."
A dramatic real photo postcard showing the detonation of dynamite or some other explosive in an apparent attempt to clear tree stumps from a field.
Evidently, though, the blast didn't look impressive enough, so the photographer drew on the negative to add large pieces of fake debris flying high into the air. It also appears that the photographer crossed out an earlier caption and wrote the words "blasting stumps" over it.
I haven't been able to determine the location of "Isted Farm" or the identity of the "Whipple Photo" photographer.

Under the proposed land exchange, state lands within the wilderness area would be transferred to the BLM to be managed for conservation purposes.
Scanned old negative from the 1970s. Amazing, but all these buildings still appear to be there. There were no clues to where this was, but it was on the same negative strip as the other photo from Irving Park, as well as the Commodore Theater that I previously posted, so I figured it might be nearby....Google Street view: maps.app.goo.gl/3DR9Xsn9evFBJbie9
Vintage, found CDV of an unidentified young lady from Boston.
Photographer: Whipple (96) Washington Street Boston
There was Boston photographer John Adams Whipple (September 10, 1822 – April 10, 1891) an American inventor and early photographer. He was the first in the United States to manufacture the chemicals used for daguerreotypes; he pioneered astronomical and night photography; he was a prize-winner for his extraordinary early photographs of the moon; and he was the first to produce images of stars other than the sun.

Any comments or observations are much appreciated!
In the 1930s, electric starter motors were available but were an optional extra as they were expensive in those depressed times, and in any case drivers had used their muscle power with a starting handle to start engines for many years.
But with the coming of diesel engines, that wasn't so easy any more. Diesel engines have a much higher 'compression ratio' than a petrol engine. What that means in practice is that it's far harder to turn a diesel engine by hand on the starting handle - you're trying to squeeze a lot of air in the cylinders and it's very difficult indeed. Also, the early diesel engines were quite temperamental especially when cold - they could be quite difficult to start especially in chilly weather.
The response was this fiendish-looking contraption. It's a 'Whipple starter', a petrol-driven machine made by a company named the Rushden Engineering Company. The process was to start its little petrol engine - by hand of course - and then connect the shaft at the end to the starting handle socket on the bus. The Whipple starter's engine was running, a clutch in the machine was released, and the engine would rotate the shaft which in turn would turn the diesel engine on the bus.
It sounds terrifying and in practice its use wasn't without hazard - the bus engine could 'kick back' or the starter might slip and disengage the rotating shaft. The shaft has no guard, and in general it's a safety nightmare.
It's no surprise that eventually bus operators gave in and fitted all their buses with starter motors. In any case, if a bus was out on the road and stalled for any reason, there was no Whipple starter there and the driver would have to hope that he stopped on a slope to enable a 'bump' start. If not, he would need a strong right arm which is why, in this period, a driver would be issued with a bus with a running engine and was expected to keep it that way!
No Whipple starter survives that we know of, and that's probably a good thing. But a similar bus to the one shown being started, Manchester Corporation Transport number 436 of 1934, survives in unrestored condition at the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester.

Notes: Josiah Quincy III (February 4, 1772 – July 1, 1864) was a U.S. educator and political figure. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1805–1813), Mayor of Boston (1823–1828), and President of Harvard University (1829–1845). The historic Quincy Market in downtown Boston is named in his honor.
Boston daguerreotypist John Whipple invented an albumen-on-glass negative process independent from those published by Niépce de St. Victor or the Langenheim brothers. Whipple used the term crystalotype to refer to these albumen plates as well as to the salted paper prints made from his glass negatives. Many of Whipple’s prints were stamped with the term crystalotype on the paper mount. When Whipple eventually switched to the collodion process to make his negatives, he continued for a short time to call the prints crystalotypes, a reference to the glass negative support.

John Adams Whipple (September 10, 1822–1891) was an American inventor and early photographer. He was the first in the United States to manufacture the chemicals used for daguerreotypes; he pioneered astronomical and night photography; he was a prize-winner for his extraordinary early photographs of the moon; and he was the first to produce images of stars other than the sun (the star Vega and the double star Castor and Pollux). Whipple was born in Grafton, Massachusetts, to Jonathan and Melinda (Grout) Whipple. While a boy he was an ardent student of chemistry, and on the introduction of the daguerreotype process into the United States (1839-1840) he was the first to manufacture the necessary chemicals. His health having become impaired through this work, he devoted his attention to photography. He made his first daguerreotype in the winter of 1840, "using a sun-glass for a lens, a candle box for a camera, and the handle of a silver spoon as a substitute for a plate." Over time he became a prominent daguerreotype portraitist in Boston. In addition to making portraits for the Whipple and Black studio, Whipple photographed important buildings in and around Boston, including the house occupied by General George Washington in 1775 and 1776 (photographed circa 1855, now in the Smithsonian). Whipple married Elizabeth Mann on May 12, 1847. Between 1847 and 1852 Whipple and astronomer William Cranch Bond, director of the Harvard College Observatory, used Harvard's Great Refractor telescope to produce images of the moon that are remarkable in their clarity of detail and aesthetic power. This was the largest telescope in the world at that time, and their images of the moon took the prize for technical excellence in photography at the great 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition in London. On the night of July 16-17, 1850, Whipple and Bond made the first daguerreotype of a star (Vega). In 1863, Whipple used electric lights to take night photographs of Boston Common. Whipple was as prolific as an inventor as a photographer. He invented crayon daguerreotypes and with his partner, James Wallace Black, he developed the process for making paper prints from glass albumen negatives (crystalotypes). His American patents include Patent Number 6,056, the "Crayon Daguerreotype"; Patent Number 7,458, the "Crystallotype". (Source: Wikipedia)

Homer W. Porter, Porter County School Superintendent
Date: Circa 1890
Source Type: Photograph
Printer, Publisher, Photographer: Whipple Photo Art Studio
Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: This photograph of Homer W. Porter was taken at the Whipple Photo Art Studio in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. It is known that this photograph was taken prior to 1893 since Whipple moved away from Valparaiso that year. Written on the reverse of this photograph is "Supt Porter Valparaiso Ind"
Homer W. Porter was born March 9, 1841, in Apulia, Onondaga County, New York, and died on November 16, 1917, in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. He is buried at Graceland Cemetery near Kouts, Porter County, Indiana.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOMER W. PORTER, County School Superintendent, was born in Onondaga County, N. Y., March 9, 1843, the only child of Hiram and Lucy (Ayres) Porter, natives of the same state and of English descent. Mr. Hiram Porter died when Homer W. was but two years old, his widow afterward marrying Abner Tillabaugh. Homer was reared by his grandmother Porter, and was educated chiefly by members of the family, and in his nineteenth year began teaching school at $8 per month; the next year he received $11. In the spring of 1863, he moved to Somonauk, Ill., where he engaged in the drug trade with an uncle for six months, taught another term of school, and in the spring of 1864 came to Valparaiso, and entered the Freshman year of the old Male and Female College. At the end of the summer he again taught school and clerked until the fall of 1868, when he married Miss Caroline Haste. He was next employed as first teacher in the grammar department of the high school; then farmed for some time, and continued farming and teaching until the spring of 1881, when he moved to Valparaiso, and was elected County School Superintendent in December of the same year, now filling the unexpired term of Reason Shinabarger, resigned. Mr. Porter is a Republican, and he and wife are parents of two children - Willie H. and Edith.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOMER W. PORTER, a prominent farmer of Porter county, and in his earlier life identified with the educational interests of this favored section of the state for many years, is a native of the Empire state, born in Onandaga county, on March 9, 1842. He is the son of Hiram and Lucy (Porter) Porter, both natives of the state of New York, where the father followed agricultural pursuits all his life. They were the parents of nine children -- four sons and five daughters, of which number Homer W. of this review was the first born. The others were Jane, Isabel, William, Helen, Hial, Loretta and Orlando.
In common with other members of his family, Homer Porter attended the district schools of Apulia, New York, and later he became a student in the Syracuse high school, after which he taught two school terms in New York, receiving as his salary the first year the sum of $8.00 a month and his board. His second term he received an advance in wages, which aggregated him $11.00 and board per month. After teaching two years the young man came to Valparaiso, Indiana, where he took a complete course of instruction to fit him for the life of a teacher, between intervals of study being employed as a clerk in the store of Bartholomew and McClelland. His education completed, Mr. Porter began teaching, and before he finally withdrew from the profession he had taught forty terms of school in Porter county. In the winter of 1863-4 when he was just beginning his lifework, he taught in Kouts, at that time being only one house in the village. Later he taught in the grammar school of Valparaiso, and it would be hard to estimate the amount of practical good that Mr. Porter had been able to accomplish in his long professional career, for he is one who has recognized to the full the wonderful opportunity given to the conscientious teacher to inculcate in the growing mind principles of honor and integrity, as well as the fundamental principles of book lore, which is but one of the duties of the real and successful teacher. In 1881 Mr. Porter was elected to the office of county superintendent of schools, a position which he held for eight years and in which he accomplished much for the schools of the county. That his work as teacher and superintendent was appreciated is evidenced in various ways, but the one testimonial which Mr. Porter feels most proud of is the gift of a fine album containing the portraits of thirty-nine teachers who were one time pupils of his, and who presented the album to him during one of the county institutes held by him.
In 1894 Mr. Porter withdrew from educational work and engaged in mercantile business, continuing for four years, when he sold out his store and purchased a fine farm of eighty-seven acres located one mile west of Kouts, and there engaged in farming. In the years that have elapsed since that time Mr. Porter has made many improvements on his farm, and has enlarged upon the many possibilities which the farm offered. He has gone into the raising of Holstein cattle and has a splendid dairy farm. His dairy products are shipped daily to Chicago, and have a reputation for excellency that is most pleasing. He also raises a fine lot of Shropshire sheep annually, which are especially productive in a wool bearing way, nine to ten pounds being clipped from each. On the whole Mr. Porter's success is of an order of which he may well be proud, in view of the fact that he passed his entire life up to the age of about fifty-five in educational work.
Mr. Porter is a staunch and true Republican. He cast his first vote for "Abe" Lincoln, and has given his allegiance to the party since that time. He was for thirteen years a justice of the peace in Kouts, and has always been a highly esteemed citizen. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, affiliating with Lodge No. 229, of Hebron.
On October 17, 1868, Mr. Porter was united in marriage with Miss Caroline A. Haste, born near Toronto, Canada. She is the daughter of Richard and Catherine (Shoemaker) Haste. Mr. Haste was a farmer in his occupation and he immigrated to Illinois from Canada while his family was still young. Mr. and Mrs. Haste were the parents of the following children: Henry, Aaron, George, Richard, Moses, Mary, Nancy, Catherine, Caroline and Ageline, twins, Lovina and Angela. The older members of the family attended school in Waukegan, Illinois, and later the family removed to Wisconsin, and the younger children attended school there. Richard became a student at Valparaiso and later graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Aaron became a soldier in the Civil war, and a wound in the shoulder received at the hands of a sharp-shooter in the southern army necessitated the amputation of his arm, which later resulted in his death.
After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Porter at Valparaiso, where he was engaged in teaching, they remained there continuously until in 1894, when Mr. Porter gave up his teaching work and entered mercantile business, which he later exchanged for a farm. A son and a daughter were born to Mr. and Mrs. Porter -- William Haste and Edith A. Both were given every educational advantage available, the son finishing with a thorough course in business training and the daughter specializing in music. She became a successful teacher of that branch in Porter county, and continued in that work until her marriage with Glenn Crosby, who died some little time after, and she later became the wife of Ralph Knoll, who is connected with the grain elevator at Kouts. The son, William, married Blanche McDowell, a student at Valparaiso. She is the daughter of General McDowell of Civil war fame. For a number of years they lived in North Dakota, where Mr. Porter was engaged in mercantile business, but he is now a prosperous and successful rancher in Montana. He has a fine ranch of three hundred and twenty acres, well improved and equipped. They have one daughter, Lucille Gladys, now a student in the University of Valparaiso, who will graduate in music with the class of 1912.

Edward and Henry T. Anthony were brothers as well as photographic partners. Edward, born in 1818, was a civil engineer until the daguerreotype debuted in the United States. Immediately stricken with "daguerreotypemania," he took lessons in the fledgling medium from Samuel Morse and in 1841 joined a survey expedition of the U.S.-Canadian border as a photographer. He partnered with Jonas M. Edwards in Washington, D.C., for his first professional studio venture, specializing in portraits of congressmen and other Washington notables. In 1847 Edward began to collaborate with his older brother Henry, photographing and publishing cartes-de-visite and stereographic views. Together they founded the firm of E. and H.T. Anthony in New York in 1852, which was unquestionably the period's leading manufacturer and marketer of photographic supplies and equipment. The Anthonys provided financial support to Mathew Brady to photograph the Civil War and in return Brady gave them all of his duplicate negatives, which they published under his name in 1865. Following Henry's death in 1884, Edward continued to work; upon Edward's death four years later, the firm was willed to a nephew. It eventually became Agfa, one of the best known photographic companies today. (source: The Getty Museum)
Daniel Webster (January 18, 1782 – October 24, 1852) was an American politician who represented New Hampshire (1813–1817) and Massachusetts (1823–1827) in the United States House of Representatives; served as a Senator from Massachusetts (1827–1841, 1845–1850); and was the United States Secretary of State under Presidents William Henry Harrison (1841), John Tyler (1841–1843), and Millard Fillmore (1850–1852). He and James G. Blaine are the only people to serve as Secretary of State under three presidents. Webster also sought the Whig Party nomination for President in 1836, 1840, and 1852.
