52 Ancestors Friday: Abbey Ardelle "Della" (Smith) Carringer (1862-1944)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  Here is my ancestor biography for week #4:

Abbey Ardelle "Della" (Smith) Carringer (1862-1944) is #13 on my Ancestor Name List, and is my great-grandmother.  She married #12, Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946). I am descended through:

*  her son, #6 Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976), who married Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977)
*  their daughter, #3 Betty Virignia Carringer (1919-2002), who married Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
*  me, #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)





To create this post, I created an Individual Summary report in RootsMagic 6, then saved it into an RTF file.  I then copied and pasted the Individual Fact List, the Notes, and the Source Citations into this blog post.  Unfortunately, the source citations superscripts did not survive this process as superscripts, so I put them in brackets in the Individual Facts list below, and without parentheses in the Source Citation list.  I have images of many of these records, but have not included them in this blog post due to the length of the post.  Many of them have been transcribed or shown in Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts.  Astute readers will notice that I have changed the format of this report somewhat from the earlier weeks so that the notes are together (with source citation numbers) in a more narrative format, followed by the sources in endnote fashion.

Della kept a scrapbook during her childhood and early adulthood.  The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings (her father's biography, marriage and death announcements, ephemera, local, national and political news, advertisements, etc.). 

Mr. Austin Carringer and Miss Della Smith were performers at the playhouse built in Wano, starring in plays such as "Lady Audley's Secret", "The Dairyman's Daughter", "My Cousin Joe", "My Neighbor's Wife", and "The Secret; or, A Hole in the Wall".  Della Carringer's scrapbook has many notices of these plays and other activities in St. Francis and Wano.

After three years of courtship, they sold their land there and they married on 11 September 1887 in Wano, Cheyenne County, Kansas by Rev. Emanuel Richards.  

The marriage certificate says [22]:

"THIS CERTIFIES:
That on the 11th day of September in the year 188 7
Mr. Henry A. Carringer and Miss Della A. Smith were united by me  in the Bond of Marriage at Wano, Kansas.
Witness:  A.E. Boring                                           Rev. Emanuel Richards                                                                                                              Minister of Congregational Ch."

Della A. Smith (as did her father, Devier J. Smith, her brother, David D. Smith, and her future husband, Henry A. Carringer) received two BLM Land Grants (cash basis) between 1885 and 1890 [10-11]:

*  In Cheyenne County, Kansas, Meridian 6th PM, Township 003S, Range 040W, Section 3, Aliquots SE1/4.  This is 160 acres - the southeast quarter of Section 3 of Township 003W, Range 40W in Cheyenne County, Kansas.  This land is just to the south of Henry A. Carringer's patent in Section 3.

*  Della A. Smith received a BLM Land Grants in Cheyenne County, Kansas, Meridian 6th PM, Township 003S, Range 040W, Section 2, Aliquots W1/2 of SW1/4.  This is 80 acres - the west half of the southwest quarter of Section 2 of Township 003W, Range 40W in Cheyenne County, Kansas.  This land is just to the east of Della's other patent in Section 3.

A month after their marriage, Austin and Della traveled by train to San Diego, California on their honeymoon with $20 in their pockets.  They made their and raised their family in San Diego until they passed away in the 1940s.

The San Diego Union announced in the August 24, 1889 edition that:

"Mr. and Mrs. H.A. Carringer rejoice in the arrival of a bright faced boy, who tips the scales at nine pounds."

Devier David Carringer (named after his grandfathers, Devier Smith and David Jackson Carringer) was born on August 19, 1889.  The joy turned to sorrow when Devier suddenly died on May 10, 1890.  A remembrance card with gold lettering on a black background reads:

"One less at home, The charmed circle broken -- a dear face missed day by day from its usual place.  But cleansed, saved, perfected by grace, One more in heaven.

"One less on earth, its pain, its sorrow, and its toil to share.  One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear.  One more the crown of the blessed to wear, At home in heaven."

The family archives include several letters from the extended Smith family in Kansas and the extended  Carringer family in Pennsylvania that try to reassure the family that it was God's will.  The death of baby Devier apparently caused Austin to renounce his Christian faith.

Her second son, Lyle Lawrence Carringer, was born 2 November 1891 in a house at 16th and H Streets in San Diego.  There are several letters to the Carringer family in Colorado describing Lyle's childhood.  An 1895 family picture shows the family in front of a hat shop with Lyle sitting in a wagon, Austin with a bicycle, Abigail (Vaux) Smith, and Edgar Carringer.

In 1893, the family lived at 28th Street and Logan Avenue in San Diego.  In 1895, Della was an art teacher in a studio at 29th and Logan.

Della seems to have been an astute business woman - she started in-home businesses, bought and sold property, paid the bills, etc. 

On 28 August 1894, Angeline M. and David Seaman granted lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Block 61 in Seaman and Choate's Addition in San Diego to Mrs. Della A. Carringer for $450.  The lot was bounded by Ella (now 30th Street), Watkins Avenue (now Hawthorn Street) and Fern Street in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of San Diego.  

The San Diego Union newspaper, in the 8 June 1897 edition (accessed on www.genealogybank.com), reported that:

"Building permits were issued yesterday to Della A. Carringer for a $600 residence on Watkins avenue and Thirtieth street."  

Austin built the two-story house on the corner of the northeastern block at Ella and Watkins Streets (now 30th and Hawthorn Streets) facing Watkins Street.

A photograph taken in about 1900 shows the house with Austin, Della, Lyle, Austin's parents D.J. and Rebecca, his brother Edgar, Della's mother Abbie (Vaux) Smith, and the family horse.  After the house was built, they used a horse-drawn surrey to transport themselves and their neighbors to the nearest streetcar line at 16th and Broadway.

In the 1900 U.S. census, this family resided on Watkins Avenue in San Diego city, San Diego County, California [12].  The household included:

*  Henry A. Carringer -- head of household, white, male, born Nov 1853, age 46, married 12 years, born PA, parents born PA, a carpenter, owns house with a mortgage

*  Abby A. Smith -- mother-in-law, white, female, born Oct 1844, age 55, widow, 2 children born, 2 living, born NY, father born England, mother born New England

In the 1910 US Census, this family resided on Hawthorne Street in the 4th Ward of San Diego, San Diego County, California [13]. The family included:

*  Henry A. Carringer -- head of household, male, white, age 58, first marriage, married 22 years, born PA, parents born PA, a carpenter, does general work, owns house free of mortgage
*  Della A. Carringer -- wife, female, white, age 50, first marriage, married 22 years, 2 children born, 1 living, born WI, parents born NY
*  Lyle L. Carringer -- son, male, white, age 18, single, born CA, father born PA, mother born WI
*  Harvey Carringer -- brother, male, white, age 59, single, born PA, parents born PA, own income
*  Abby A. Smith -- mother-in-law, female, white, age ??, widowed, 5 children born, 3 living, born NY, father born England, mother born NY, own income

In the 1920 US census, this family resided at 2105 30th Street in San Diego city, San Diego County, California [14]. The family included:

*  Henry A. Carringer -- head, owns home with a mortgage, male, white, age 66, married, able to read and write, born in Pennsylvania, parents born in Pennsylvania/Pennsylvania, a cabinet-maker, works in a furniture store, a worker
*  Della A. Carringer -- wife, female, white, age 57, married, able to read and write, born in Wisconsin, parents born in New York/New York

*  Mary S. Griffith -- a lodger, female, white, age 45, single, able to read and write, born Michigan, father born Delaware, mother born New York, a music teacher, piano, works on own account.

On 3 October 1922, Abbie A. Smith of San Diego granted property in City Heights (identified as Lots 15 and 16 in Block 97 of City Heights, on Map 1007) to her daughter, Della A. Carringer, of San Diego for $10 (Grant Deed in Book 1571, page 219).  On 9 July 1939, Della A. Carringer sold this house at 3537 41st Street in San Diego to Lyle and Emily Carringer for $10.00 (identified as Lots 15 and 16 of Block 97 in City Heights), reserving her right to use, rent or sell the property (Grant Deed recorded in Book 916, Page 299).  On 16 April 1942, Della A. Carringer et al sold the property to Albert J. and Eula C. Dittmar for $1,100.

On 11 April 1925, Henry A. and Della A. Carringer granted all of their property to Georgia K. Auble (son Lyle's mother-in-law) for $10, who granted it back to Henry A. and Della A. Carringer as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, also for $10 (Grant Deeds in Book 1054, pages 291 and 292 respectively).

On 5 May 1925, a trust deed was executed by Henry A. and Della A. Carringer in the amount of $4,000 for the improvement of the east 50 feet of lots 8 and 9 of Block 61 of Seaman and Choate's Addition, on Map 631.  This improvement resulted in the building of the two story apartment house at 2114 and 2116 Fern Street.

The family home was moved to the middle of the block and renumbered as 2115 30th Street in about 1927, and the house front porch was modified so that it faced south.  A second story flat was created by adding to the existing rooms, and an external staircase in front and back was built to 2119 30th Street.  The structure was then stuccoed over so that the original frame of the house could not be discerned.

In the 1930 U.S. Census, this family resided at 2115 30th Street in San Diego city, San Diego County, California [15].  The household included:

*  Henry A. Carringer -- head, owns home, worth $5,000, owns radio set, male, white, age 76, married, first at age 34, able to read/write, born PA, parents born PA/PA, able to speak English, an aviation mechanician, works at Army Air Services, employed
*  Della A. Carringer -- wife, female, white, age 67, married, first at age 25, able to read/write, born WI, parents born NY/NY,able to speak English,  no occupation
*  Abbie A. Smith -- mother-in-law, female, white, age 85, widowed, able to read/write, born NY, parents born England/NY, able to speak English, no occupation.

The San Diego Union of September 11, 1937 has an article headlined "Honeymoon Trip to S.D. Extends Half a Century," with a picture of Austin and Della entitled "True Vowers View Letters on Golden Wedding Day."  In the article, Della says:

 "We have lived here on this corner for 39 years.  We built this house.  On our lot we have planted and grown most every kind of fruit and vegetable that grows in California. Flowers always have been my hobby."  Della designed some of their furniture, and was a painter.  

She was quoted on their philosophy of life: "We have worked hard as partners and tried always to be kind and helpful to others.  After all, we are of the opinion that this is the best religion to make a happy and successful life."  The article says that Austin did all of the finishing on their home and also built some of their beautiful furniture.

Henry A. and Della A. Carringer of San Diego made a Power of Attorney on 9 July 1939 to appoint and constitute their son, Lyle L. Carringer, as their true and lawful attorney.  However, they limited his right to convey, mortgage or hypothecate any real property subject to the written approval of both of them.

Henry A. and Della A. Carringer deeded the entire property on 30th Street (Lots 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Block 61 of Seaman and Choate's Addition) to Lyle L. and Emily K. Carringer on 9 July 1939, reserving the use, possession, rent and income during their lives (Grant Deed recorded in Book 920, Page 242).

Della collected photographs, which were passed down through the years to her son, granddaughter and great-grandson.  One of the treasures found in the large boxes of ephemera passed down was a diary for 1929, which captured one or more highlights for each day of the year. 

In the 1940 U.S,. Census, this family resided at 2115 30th Street in San Diego [16].  The household included:

*  Henry Austin Carringer - Head of household, male, white, age 87, married, 6 years of school, born Pennsylvania, lived in same house in 1935, did not work the last week of March 1940, Unable to work, occupation is millwright, mechanic, and Industry is US Army (Retired), earned $1060 in 1939, made over $50 in other income.

Della (Smith) Carringer died on New Year's Day, 1 January 1944 in San Diego [2, 17-18].  The entry in the "Deaths" section of the Devier J. Smith Family Bible (loose pages) says:
