THE NAME 'TINGLE' IN YELLOW SPRINGS. OHIOI

Ms . Elaine Mitchell of Lakewood, Ohio has sent another clipping which poses a challenge for Tingle researchers. This involves a news item froll1 the Yellow Springs, Ohio Review of F'eb. 19, 1886. Yellow Spring'S is east of Dayton. It reads:

·· Hr. Brocae (sic), proprietor of the new hotel that will soo n be opened in the T ingle Building on Xenia Avenue, has arrived in town. The building has been thoroughly renovated; the front of the building has also been painted .

Messrs. Tingle and urge have just received noti ce t hat the patent o n their roc king chair has been granted. The back and seat are fastened together so they spring and fit to the shape of the back, and the weight comes on the rockers in three places. A new business is in to wn - a chai r factory to produce the rocking chair recently patented ...

Certainly some of our readers should be able to help us identify the Tingle named in this news release. Please drop a line to Ms . Elai.ne Hit c hell, 14530 Clifton Blvd ., Apt. 105, Lakewood, Ohio, 44107

• • • • • • • • • • HORE ABOUT IRE LARGE TINGLE FAMILY PICTURE APPEARING IN VOL. 9 - NO.

The previous issue of our newsletter carried that large family picture of many Tingle d3scendantu In Geol·gia. Specifically they were descendants, with their spouses , of Daniel Willie Tingle (1796 - 1884) and Parthenia Hatcher Tingle (1803 - 1818). We asked our readers to help identity the 51 persons in the photo.

The picture intrigued one present day descendant, Mrs_ Helen Tingle Adams of Newport News, Vi rginia. Be sure to read her letter or August 10. 1995 to Boyd M. Tlnglf'! o r WimberleY, Tu" who supplied the photo. She proposes that the 'get - toge ther' whi c h pro~pted this picture took place Ln the su~mer o r 1912 or 1913. Furthermore, she believes a certain young lIan , as ,t~scribed in her letter, is her Cather, Daniel Whitney Tingle (189~ - 1962).

Thank you, Mrs. Adalas, for takLng the tillle to help docu.ent this interesting photo.

Mr. Boyd Tingle P.O. Box 15 Wimberley, TX 78676

Dear Mr. Tingle,

Helen T. Adams 7 Paddock Drive Newport News, VA 23606 August 10, 1995

Thank you for your letter of April 24, 1995. Please forgive me for being so late with my response. Short wits and procrastination take a heavy toll on my good intentions. Being an ersatz genealogist, I am flattered that you even took notice of me.

I am really enjoying the pictures you sent, especially the larger one, in which half the young people could pass for one or the other of my children and even a couple of my grandchildren. Now I wonder who they were and if they look the same in the original. Twilight sepia tones can be misleading.

I agree that both of the pictures were taken at the same event because the little girl perched in front of Martha Callie Brownlee Tingle is definitely her youngest child, Mary Jane Tingle. When Mrs. Joan K. Tingle pleasantly surprised me with her phone call last week, we discussed the date of the depicted gathering. Mrs. Tingle suggested that the little girl might be Marie, Mary Jane's older sister. But this assumption does not work because, in 1909, Marie would have been 12 years old (b.Feb 1897). Mary Jane was born in June 1909. Therefore, it is not likely that either Mary or her mother would have been attending a picnic that summer.

I propose that the get-together took place sometime in the summer of 1912 or 1913 and, completely off the top at my head, the young man wearing a dark, brimmed hat who is standing in the center of the back row, right between two trees, looks a lot like my father, Dan Tingle. If this were the case, the picture could be dated no later than 1913 because that was the year he went away and joined the Army.

I asked my Aunt Mary Tingle, about what may have been the occasion that brought all these people together. She said it was probably "one of Uncle SOb's barbecues" that he often provided for relatives and friends during the summer lull that comes between planting the crops and harvest time.

Uncle Bob (Smith) was married to Ida Lou Tingle. In the picture of Archibald Daniel Tingle and his family, Uncle Bob and Aunt Ida are posed next to the right side of Daniel Raymond

Tingle's empty chair. My Aunt Mary said Aunt Ida was adept at organizing and serving as hostess at these events. She described Aunt Ida as one who was constantly "fussing" over (i.e. seeing to) the smooth operation of these parties and the comfort of her guests.

The subject of Aunt Ida came up in the first place when I asked my Aunt Mary who placed the people for the camera. (This sort of thing fascinates me because of the time it takes to get a group shot of my family.) She said it was probably Aunt Ida because Aunt Ida was always in charge when something needed to be done just right. when I look at these pictures I find myself imagining how Aunt Ida probably look~d as she went bustling about commandeering all those chairs from her house, having them placed just where she wanted them, and pointing out where each person was to sit.

When Uncle Bob and Aunt Ida gave a barbecue, everybody who was anybody in the community came. Family and friends were invited, as were the town officials (Uncle Bob was active in local politics). Traveling salesmen and visitors who happened to be in the area at the time were also included.

I appreciate the article about the "Trail of Tears" you shared in Vol. 7, No.1 of the Tingle Descendants newsletter. The story is particularly interesting because my Irish ancestors came to this county at the time of the potato famine in Ireland, too. My family lines settled in Michigan, but a few of U.eir brothers went west to seek their fortunes and eventually were not heard from again.

I am sure you are pleased with your daughter Trieia and her work (Vol.7, No.3, pp.16-17). I have read the article several times and am more appreciative of what she is doing each time I pick it up. This article is also very well written. Thank you for sharing it.

I will enclose a few pieces of trivia which struck my fancy, in case you like that sort of thing. My sisters, Moira and Bonnie Tingle spotted the car in the photo during their travels last summer. They are both retired teachers who are still teaching. At present, Moira is an adjunct protessor of English at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, but her first love is teaching Latin. After many years of teaching, mostly in the public school system, Bonnie now teaches history at our local Catholic high school. As for me, I prefer library work.

Well, Hr. Tingle, I have enjoyed talking to you, and Mrs. Tingle, too, I imagine. It is also great to meet a Catholic Tingle! I am sorry it takes me so long to write a letter.

Sincerely,

HERE'S A TINGLE WHO LOVES TO TELL STORIES!

We Lre indebted to Mrs. Harsha Tingle Cooper of San Marcos, Tex&~ ­for sending the story reproduced herein about Tim Tingle and how he developed the successful jam and jelly business known as New Canaan ~arms. We also thank Diana Finlay, Neighbors Editor, (or the use of t h is article.

Till.'s full name is Timothy Wayne Tingle. He is the son of Archie Daniel Tingle, Jr. and a nephew at Boyd Monroe Tingle of Wimberley, Texas. His grandmother was Minnie Oktoachoma Goode (1895 - 1971), a f u ll-blooded Choctaw, who married Archie Daniel Tingle, Sr. (1887 -1967). They were the parents of Archie Daniel. Jr. and Boyd Monroe , as well as five other children.

As our readers have learned frOID previous issues of the newsletter, this line of Tingles are direct descendants of Solomon Tingle of Craven County, North Carolina whose son. John, married Sarah Purifoy in 1795 and shortly thereafter went to Georgia. From there they and their progeny branched out to Alabama, Mississippi. Tennessee, Louisianna, Oklahoma, Texas and lDany other states.

Mrs. Harsha Tingle Cooper, who sent the story, is the daughter of Harvin Noel Tingle (1911 - 1990). She is of the Alabama line of Tingles descended froc Jesse Franklin Tingle who died in~ddison.

_Alaba~a, date unknown. A calculated guess ot his birth date wouid be about 1820 - 1830. He ~arried Glara Breeden, and they were the

parents of .seven children. Four of these seven were given the illustrious first nalles-o! George Washington, Tholl.as JerCere.JiQA .•

- " -~---- - ~ Andrew Jackson and . Benja.in Frankli~ See Mrs. Cooper's ancesterai chart enclosed.

Most of the in(or~ation in our files Tingles has been furnished by Mr. Richard Alabama. He is a brother of Mrs. Cooper. pp. 11 - 17 of our newsletter.

on the Alabama line of Warren Tingle at Huntsville,

Refer to Vol. 3 - No.4,

At this point in ti~e no Tingle descendant has been able to identify the father of Jesse FranklLD Tingle. One is tempted to think that he was a 80n or grandson at fbe:Tingles who started out in Georgia. It would be great if one of the Alabama or Geogia Tingles could solve this puzzle tor our readers.

AN INTERESTING STORY, IF TRUE. BY THOMAS RADCLIFFE TINGLE!

Some time ago, the late M~s. Dolli Tingle Brackett of Vestpo~t, Connecticut sent to you~ editor, Seege~ Kerns, a copy of the attached letter which she had ~eceived years before from a relative named Dwight Scott. The communication, dated January 9, 1919, was f~om Thomas Radcliffe Tingle of Los Angeles to Walter R. Tingle of Camb~idge, Ohio.

Th~ough the assistance of nUIlllii,erous re.ade~s. Walte~ R. Tingle was identified and a story about hilll appea~ed in Vol. 3 - No.4, pp. 4 - 5 of our newslette~. Considerable ~esearch has developed the fact that Thomas Radcliffe Tingle was a son of Eugene Daniel Tingle, born 4 JuLy 1840 in Wo~ceste~ County, Ha~yland and died in Wellington, Missouri on 1 Ap~il 1905. A b~ief history of the latte~ is pa~t of this a~ticle. He was a direct descendant of Hugh Tingle, the progenitor, in the sixth generation.

Despite yea~s of p~obing it has not been possible to track Thomas Radcliffe Tingle since 1925 in Los Angles, at which time he would have been about age 50 - 55. If any of ou~ readers can shed any light on him please contact: J. Seeger Kerns, Roland Park Place, 830 W. 40th St., Apt. 851, Baltimore, MD 21211-2128. Your inforCiation will be greatly appreciated.

CAMP COMPATIBLE

For sOllie time )rour edItor has been trying to find space to run the story about Boyd and Pat Tingle at Wimberley, Texas and the sumMer camp for boys they operated tor 17 years. We are grateful to Mrs. Marsha Tingle Cooper or San Marcos, Texas for having sent this arti c le, c ourtesy of the Austin American - Statesman for March 2l, 1993.

By now our readers know that Boyd is a direct descendant of So l omon Tingle of Craven County, North Carolina (ell. 1130 - \194/5) . Your editor and his wire had the pleasure of meeting Boyd, Pat and thetr daughter, Tricia, last April when they paid us a visit. They have become avid support e rs of our family newsletter.

CAMP COHPATIBlE (continued) •••

Boyd Ting!. "'" toIl __ stories about children who grew up I little in the two week! they were away from home at camp.

The t"etlm camp director of Rim Rock Boys Camp in Wilnbe.r. lev remembers one 7.ycar-old ruck· named Hoss who was found sitting by himself one day, baseball cap pulled down over his big brown eyes and cryina:.

It was the IaIt day of camp. "You know when I came to

c:amp how homesick I waa," Hca s niffied. " And now I'm c:ampaick."

Tingle. 67, and his .me ht, {onner te&l:hers, ran the W'unber­ley camp from 1967 until 1984:

But sendin, a child to the right camp ia eaaenUal to alknr that kind of growth,

Parenti need to take iDftDtory of the child', "intereltl, penooa1i­ty and lnC~," Won ~ ing from. the m&n1 ~~~.:..... __ able, say. Ruth J..iat,er ... __ noo-­ican CllD'Iplnf AaMK:iatjoo

A quiet child who lPIIada.1ot

of time alone may not be. aood candidate for a camp where every­one ill req~ to compete in team. sporu.

At the same time, Lister DOtell , "There', a little bit of walking. tightrope between finding. camp that i, right for your child and giv­ing your child a pwh into things you think. they need or will. lib and do well at."

Case in point; Lister ', d.ugh­tel" Bethany, woo aa a 9-yeu-old was " terribly appreheuive" about horaebac:k riding her lint yaar at camp, but learned to love it during her second, She had the same IOrl of apprehension about .... ter sporu and learned to utela, them, LUter say..

"To me, that wu IfOWth. She leamed that the ruk of doinc new thinp m.icht be wurth it: the plea­sure might be greater than the apprehension."

Ideally, parent.! should vait. protpective camp while it is in ses­sion, aa _n .. uk Q.ueltiona of the camp ,taff.

prepcu-atjon. They are ina:pec:ta at Ieut oaoe every three yean.

So, Ihould parenti diacount campe that are not accredited by ACA?

No, Lister says. ' 'We do not aay that th.t

But parenta rieed to ask q\le.l­tiou reprdl_ or whether the camp is accredited..

"Jlat becauee ac:amp is ACA doean', al~ mean. everything's A.plua," yYI Tinlle, whoee camp .... -The Tin&leI clO6ed tbeir camp beea"., ' 'VIe _re camped out, .;u.t nbatUted," he says.

But their memorin of the children who Upt the camp busy for 17 III.lDltDerS run as t.h.iclt as the cedar brum that ooven tbe wooded hillI of their property.
