49 DECORATED BLANKET CHEST. Attributed to John M. or Joseph Sala, Soap Hollow, Pennsylvania, dated 1886, poplar. Wedged dovetail case resting on bracket feet. Retains its original paint consisting of stenciled designs on a black over red ground, and with less common green base and lid molding. 24 1/4”h. 42 1/4”w. 18”d.

The stencil around the kite-shaped escutcheon appears to be that of the elder John Sala (1819-1882), but as Muller notes in Soap Hollow: The Furniture and Its Makers, the younger Salas, both of whom were carpenters, purchased virtually all of the shop tools from their father’s estate sale. Joseph and John M. apparently continued to use their father’s stencils, including his name (see Muller, p. 63).

The initials “DK” probably stands for Daniel Kaufman, born in 1874 in Davidsville, Somerset County, Pennsylvania to Sem Kaufman and Christena Johns Kaufman. Daniel’s daughter, Nora (b. ca. 1897), married Ira Stahl (b. ca. 1897), whose great uncle was cabinetmaker Jeremiah Stahl. The current owner, a descendant of Ira and Nora Stahl, purchased the blanket chest from Daniel Kaufman’s estate following his death in 1967. $4,000-$6,000

50 DECORATED PIE SAFE. Possibly LaPorte County, Indiana, dated 1876, poplar.

Peaked backsplash, screened doors and sides, and resting on cutout feet. Retains its original stencil decoration on a black and red grained ground. Imperfections. 53”h. 51”w. 18”d.

Written on the back of the backsplash in an early hand is “H.E. Baseler May the 9th 1876 M Noeth[?] Shele[?]”.

Genealogical research has identified a possible H.E. Baseler in Henry Eetta Baseler of Dewey, LaPorte County, who was born about 1815 in Prussia and married to Michael (b.

1820), also born in Prussia.

In the 19th century, northern Indiana was settled by large numbers of Germanic immigrants, many coming directly from Europe, while some came from established Germanic communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Of particular interest are those settlers that migrated from Somerset County, Pennsylvania, who brought with them a distinctive style of decoration that relied heavily on the use of stencils.

For another example of this understudied regional group, see Garth’s, May 3-4, 2007, lot 69, for a stencil-decorated butler’s chest from Lagrange County. $500-$1,000

51 STENCILED FRAKTUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Sonnenberg (Wayne County), Bluffton (Allen and Hancock Counties) or Putnam County, Ohio, mid 19th century, watercolor on paper. Central heart and floral medallion flanked by pitchers with flowers. Unused, minor imperfections.

11 1/2”h. 20”w., in a molded frame, 17 1/2”h. 26 1/2”w.

51

The central stencil is identical to fig. 7-31 in Locher et al, Decorative Arts of Ohio’s Sonnenberg Mennonites, and is described as having been found in both Sonnenberg and Putnam County. Some of the stencils also bear a striking resemblance to the work of Johannes J. Amstutz (1837-1909) of Sonnenberg, although his work, or closely related works of a contemporary, are also found in Bluffton. See the carnations in figs. 7-26 and 7-27 and the tulips in figs. 7-24 and 7-34. $1,500-$2,500 Details 50 - 51 | 17

Fourteen-year-old Alicia appears in the 1850 Conneaut census, the only child of Hiram Lake (1811-1885) and his wife Lois Gifford (1808-1863).

She was born February 24, 1836, and spent her whole life in Conneaut, marrying Sajito J. Smith (1834-1902). Their son, Hiram Lake Smith was born September 26, 1860. Alicia died May 28th, 1889.

According to Henry Howe’s Historical Collections of Ohio, Conneaut in 1846 had “a fine classical academy, Mr. L.W. Savage and Miss Mary Booth, principals”. Alicia is listed as a student in the census and may have worked her sampler at this school. $400-$800

The large numbers of German-speaking peoples (from northwestern France, Alsace, southern Germany, and Switzerland) that migrated to the Midwest in the 19th century sometimes brought furniture with them.

147 1785 HAND-DRAWN KENTUCKY MAP. Connected Plat of several surveys being part of the 284,000 acres, Located by McCully & Butler on the waters of the Big Sandy River for the Philadelphia Company. Surveyed by Wm. Alexander in March, April & May 1785.

Partition made by the Company in Phila. in July 1785... Light, even toning and fold lines. 16 1/4”h.

The map depicts a 35-mile stretch of the Big Sandy River, including where it divides between its two branches, Levisa Fork (west), which is only partially shown, and Tug Fork (east). The Tug Fork forms the border between Kentucky and Virginia (now West Virginia), thus all the plotted lands are on the west side of the river. At the time, Kentucky was still part of Virginia, though beginning in 1784, a series of conventions were held to draw up a constitution.

This was accomplished in 1792 and Kentucky was admitted as the fifteenth state.

Among the members of the Philadelphia Company listed are a number of prominent Philadelphians, including Michael Gratz, Benjamin Wynkoop, Benjamin Fuller, William Turnbull, Benjamin Say, David Caldwell, William Bell, and Elijah Brown.

Additional research on some of the landholders is included with the lot. $5,000-$8,000

TWO EARLY MAIL POUCHES. Both American, early 19th century, leather. Each unrolls to reveal a compartmentalized interior with sections labeled alphabetically. Wear. 34”l. and 20 1/2”l.

IMPORTANT ID’D BOWIE KNIFE. Marked for Edward Barnes and Sons, England, mid 19th century. Doubleedge blade and stag grip, marked “U*S” on ricasso and leather sheath.

Imperfections. 12 1/2”l.

These pouches were originally used by John Walworth (1765-1812) and his son, Ashbel Woodbridge Walworth (1790-1844). John migrated from Groton, Connecticut, to the Western Reserve, settling in Painesville and then Cleveland. He served in a variety of offices, including inspector of the port of Cuyahoga, collector of the district of Erie, associate judge, and collectors of customs. In 1806, he was appointed by President Jefferson as the first postmaster of Cleveland (a copy of the appointment is included). Ashbel, served as deputy postmaster and then assumed the role of postmaster upon his father’s death (in 1812). He also served as collector of the port of Cleveland, township clerk of Cleveland, justice of the peace, treasurer of Cleveland village, and as a member of Cleveland City Council. He also helped organize a local chapter of Colonization Society, which sought to help establish Liberia, a colony of free persons of color transplanted from America.

This knife was originally owned by William Walworth (1823-1864) of Cleveland, Ohio, and descended in his family. In November 1861, Walworth enlisted in Battery L of the 1st Ohio Light Artillery, and was promoted to 1st lieutenant in May 1863. He saw much during his three years service—Battery L participated at Front Royal, Antietam, and at Chancellorsville. Most famously, Walworth and his comrades were stationed on the right-hand slope and at the foot of Little Round Top at Gettysburg. There, the Battery used canister fire to prevent General Longstreet’s corp from advancing to the left. It was recalled that their cannon fire was so rapid that the guns were too hot to touch.

Included in one pouch are several receipts issued by Ashbel Walworth. Both pouches descended in the Walworth family. $300-$500 46 | GARTH’S May 23, 2009

Following Gettysburg, the Battery L moved south into Virginia. Lt. Walworth took a leave of absence in early 1864. This was likely due to illness, as official Army records have him dying of disease at Camp Barry in Washington, DC. However, his papers, which are in the collection of the Western Reserve Historical Society, including a letter dated May 15, 1864, from Camp Barry’s surgeon, P.D. Leys, that details his numerous visits with the ailing Walworth, but that, tragically “About 6 A.M. Sunday May 8th I

64950_01_48_acg:Layout 1 4/29/09 5:59 PM Page 47

was hastily summoned to [Walworth’s] Quarters and on entering his room I found him lying on his back in bed dead from a Pistol Ball...A Pistol lay just by his right hand...”

Photocopies of some of Walworth’s papers, including letters home and this letter from Leys are included with the lot. $400-$600

William Clark (1770-1838), who would later accompany Meriwether Lewis into the American West, served under General Anthony Wayne in the Ohio Country during the Indian “troubles” of the 1790s. Previously he had served in the Northwest Territory under Generals Arthur St. Clair, Charles Scott, and James Wilkinson, but he enlisted in the Legion of the United States in 1792 and received a commission as lieutenant under “Mad Anthony” Wayne. He spent the early months of 1794 in Cincinnati, but was ordered to Fort Greenville to join Wayne. His company included a number of Chickasaw Indian scouts, and in May, during their march north, they fought their way to Fort Greenville where Wayne was amassing an enormous force. Wayne sought to engage the Indians, led by Blue Jacket, in northwestern Ohio, along the Maumee River, in a field of trees felled by a recent storm. On the August 20th, the Battle of Fallen Timbers was short and decisive, Wayne’s army suffering only minor losses. A year later, the Treaty of Greenville was signed, relegating the Indians to northern Ohio and establishing firm American control of the Northwest Territory, at least until the War of 1812. $6,000-$9,000

COLONEL EZEKIEL FIELD CLAY’S HORN CUP AND SNUFF BOX. American, 19th century. Horn cup with applied silver shield monogrammed for Clay, 4"h. Together with a lacquer and gilt snuff box with a similarly monogrammed silver shield, and signed and dated 1892 on the interior, 3 1/2"l.

Ezekiel Field Clay (1840-1920), the grandson of Green Clay, enlisted in the 1st Battalion Kentucky Mounted Rifles in 1861 and in November 1862 was elected lieutenant colonel of the 3rd Battalion Kentucky Mounted Rifles.

He served in Virginia under Marshall‘s Army and then in Georgia under General Nathaniel Bedford Forrest. He was wounded at Shelbyville and then against Puncheon Creek. There he lost an eye and was captured, and he spent the remainder of the war at Johnson’s Island near Sandusky, Ohio.

Following the war, he served as a bank president, but more importantly, as a very successful horse breeder. His horses won the Kentucky Derby twice, first with Ben Brush in 1896 and then with Agile in 1905. His farm, Runnymede, remains today a source of top-quality racehorses.

Smith (1808-1864) was born in Boston, but moved with his family to Ohio in 1814. He attended Cincinnati College and Miami University and he studied law in Cincinnati and in Connersville, Indiana. He served in the Indiana state legislature and in the United States Congress. In 1850, he returned to his legal practice in Cincinnati and Indiana, but his work on behalf of Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 presidential campaign earned him an appointment as Secretary of the Interior. As Secretary, Smith did not get along well with Mary Todd Lincoln, often questioning her exorbitant bills for redecorating the White House. He, however, was more fervent in his disagreement with members of the administration, including Lincoln himself, on the issue of emancipation. In December of 1862, shortly before President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, Smith resigned.

He returned to a judgeship in Indiana where he died in 1864. Interestingly, still today, there is some question as to the location of Smith’s body. $800-$1,200

It is interesting to note that a Morgan silver dollar is affixed to the bottom of the cup, not unlike the War of 1812 cup presented to his grandfather (see Garth’s, May 2008, lot 56), and that the coin is dated 1896, the year of Ezekiel Clay’s first Derby win. $2,500-$4,500

160 PASSIONATE LETTER TO KENTUCKY GOVERNOR JAMES ROBINSON REGARDING THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. ALS, 3 pp., from former Kentucky governor John Jordan Crittenden (1786-1863) in Washington to sitting governor James F. Robinson (1800-1882), dated January 6, 1863, five days after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Imperfections. 9 3/4”h. 8”w.

Dear Governor, The proclamation of the 1st of Jany: & the proceedings of Congress are of a character to fill the hearts of Kentuckians with discontent & indignation & may lead them to extremities...

Crittenden, a native of Woodford County, began his political career in the Kentucky House of Representatives, before serving as US Senator (four terms between 1817 and 1861), US Attorney General (two terms), and governor of Kentucky (1848-1850). When he penned his letter to Governor Robinson, he was serving in the House of Representatives. Long a Unionist, Crittenden was, however, pro-slavery and, for a time, a Know Nothing. Robinson was also a staunch Unionist and was anti-abolitionist as well.

It is not surprising that the Crittenden wrote the like-minded Robinson, expressing his fear that “Any extreme action that our State should now take, could probably have no other effect than that of aiding the Rebellion...” Crittenden was undoubtedly confounded by Lincoln’s actions but he hesitated to suggest any action that might jeopardize the Union. “What,” he writes, “are we, of Kentucky, to do?” A true politician, Crittenden ultimately suggests that Robinson urge the Kentucky legislature to pass a resolution, “The President’s Proclamations are but words. We can fight them with our Resolutions.” An able writer, Crittenden’s letter is filled with passionate rhetoric: “Firm purposes we must have. And we must all feel that the momentous perils that surround us & the might issues that are involved demand all our courage, all our forebearance, all our prudence, all our wisdom, and all our patriotism,” and he closes the letter apologetically yet sincerely, “Pardon me for this tedious letter & believe me to be a true Kentuckian...”

Together with an engraved portrait of Crittenden, published in New York by Johnson, Fry and Company, 1863. $3,000-$5,000

LEWIS FAMILY CIVIL WAR ARCHIVE. Twenty-three letters, mostly between Libby Lewis of Newark, Licking County, Ohio and her brother Dave, stationed at Johnson’s Island, or her fiance’ Bill Williams of Radnor in Delaware County, and generally dating from 1860 to 1865; also includes an 1852 land deed and a partial essay on the evils of slavery. Various sizes, all with expected fold lines and some toning.

A fine group of letters that include much talk of friends, family and daily life, but also of the Civil War. Much of the best war-related content comes from the letters between Libby and her brother, David Lewis, who was a private in Company A of the 128th OVI, stationed at Johnson’s Island, one of the Union’s principal camps for Confederate prisoners of war. Along with wonderful details of camp life, Dave talks of general war news, but also of the goings-on at Johnson’s Island. In August 1863, he notes that four hundred of Morgan’s officers were transferred there, some where later sent to the Columbus Penitentiary and others to Pittsburgh. Three months later, Dave mentions an attempted escape by Confederate prisoners.

Other war talk is of a political nature, particularly between Libby and her fiance’, Bill, of Radnor, Delaware County. In one letter, dated November 28, 1864, Bill proclaims, “Well Old Abe has been triumphantly reelected. I was on the winning side this time.” $300-$600

162 MANUSCRIPT MEMOIR OF AN OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RIVERBOAT PILOT. Approximately one-hundred pages, all handwritten in pencil by Captain Sobieski Jolly. Also includes Jolly’s 1880 appointment to captain, an ALS from Jolly while on board the James Howard in New Orleans in 1876, photographs of two of the steamers on which Jolly served, and a group of cartes de visite of Jolly, his wife, and some members of her family.

Sobieski Jolly was born in Brown County, Ohio, in 1831. He opens his memoir with the tale of his first riverboat trip, as a cub pilot, in October 1846 and covers the bulk of his career, which included the Civil War.

again, Jolly often served on boats that were running munitions and supplies to the Union forces in the South. He describes the steamer fleets that were typically accompanied by Union gunboats, and he bore witness to several battles and their aftermath, including Shiloh and Fort Pillow. His boats were sometimes fired upon and on one occasion, Jolly describes the bullets as “uncomfortably close, “ and at Vicksburg, as he walked the deck, a shell landed in the pilothouse killing the boat’s captain, Pat Gorman. Jolly closes his wartime remembrances by noting that following the assassination of Lincoln, he talked to a number of Confederate soldiers, who disapproved with such a drastic and violent act and were “unanimous in condemning t he Act of Wilkes Booth.”

Jolly served on dozens of boats, including, though not specifically mentioned in the memoir, the John J. Roe in August-September 1857. On that voyage, according to the Mark Twain Project, the cub pilot was a young Samuel Langhorn Clemens, late known by his penname, Mark Twain.

After the war, Jolly continued to serve as pilot on a number of boats, finally retiring in the late 1890s. He continues to detail riverboat happenings in the closing pages of his memoir, oftentimes eulogizing the business, which was well into its twilight years, as well as criticizing the government for its efforts to “control” the rivers through engineering. The memoir closes, rather abruptly, in September 1900.

The most interesting part of the memoir details Jolly’s service during the Civil War, which begins on page 17 when he notes, “The Election of Mr. Lincoln in November 59 soon began to affect the river business and the war cry was heard on every land.” Affect it indeed, Jolly spent some months at home in Cincinnati, unable to find outgoing boats. When the river traffic began

Through his detailed and colorful memoir, Sobieski Jolly offers us a wonderful glimpse of America’s steamboat age, one that has the potential to paint an even clearer picture once fully transcribed and researched. $800-$1,200

GARTH’S POLICY GUARANTEE: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. continues to be committed to providing thorough descriptions that reflect our belief in service through honesty, integrity and attention to detail. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin as stated in the first bold line of the catalogue description, with the exception of amendments by any oral or written notices or announcements at the time of the auction. “Origin” is defined as the creator, period, culture, or source, as set forth in the first bold line of a lot in the catalog. Exclusions – Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Guarantee, Garth’s Auctions, Inc. does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. Garth’s does not guarantee the authenticity of any item created before 1500. Regarding all jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. Regarding colored stones: purchasers are reminded that colored stones and diamonds may be enhanced by using one or more techniques, including but not limited to: clarity enhancements, resins, and heat treatment. Garth’s makes no warranty express or implied to the buyer as to whether a natural stone has been enhanced. Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call prior to the auction. We would prefer that you examine the items before you place a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed. There is no other warranty, express or implied. Each and every lot is sold “as is”.

BUYING FOR OUR ACCOUNT: The owners and employees of Garth’s Auctions, Inc. never have, nor ever will buy any item at our auction for ourselves.

LIABILITY: Garth’s Auctions, Inc. guarantees the authenticity of origin of a lot for a period of twenty-one days from the date of the auction and only to the original purchaser of record at the auction. If it is determined to Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s satisfaction that the first bold line is incorrect, the sale will be rescinded provided the lot is returned to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction. It is also Garth’s Auctions, Inc.’s policy to have the purchaser obtain, at the purchaser’s expense, the opinion of one (or two in some cases) recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Garth’s Auctions, Inc. and the purchaser, before Garth’s Auctions, Inc. determines whether to rescind the sale under the above guarantee.

The purchaser’s sole remedy in the event of disputed authenticity of origin of any lot shall be the rescission of the sale and return of the original purchase price and premium paid by the purchaser. Garth’s Auctions, Inc. accepts no liability of any kind for an item after the gavel has fallen.

WITHDRAWN LOTS: Garth’s Auction, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any property before the auction and shall have no liability whatsoever for withdrawal of the property.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS: The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer is the buyer. The auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder. Once the auctioneer’s gavel falls, the successful bidder immediately assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased lot.

DISPUTED AND REJECTED BIDS: The auctioneer reserves the right to re-open the bidding on the disputed lot. The auctioneer also reserves the right to reject nominal bids and to withdraw from the auction items that do not receive a bid reflective of an item’s worth. We make every attempt, for the benefit of both seller and buyer, to create lots that reflect the quality of our cataloged merchandise.
