One may exist and it may be part of Judith Allison Walters’ collection in Bothell Wash Walters collects old photographs She browses about antique stores and in secondhand shops looking for family treasures such as tintypes daguerrotypes diaries albums Bibles old letters memorial cards autograph albums and school yearbooks In the unlikely place of Leavenworth — an alpine-typ- e tourist village tucked into the Cascade Mountains east of Seattle — she discovered a series of 12 small photographs of Illinois Civil War veterans They are decked out in their uniforms and medals and all identified by name size and Walters enlarged the photos to 8xl0-inc- h tracked down each man’s Civil War records through the National Archives Then she put together a booklet entitled “Brief Biographies of 12 Illinois Men Who Fought in the Civil War Illustrated With Their Photographs" She now has more than 10000 photographs which she has collected since 1967 Walters makes a negative of each photograph then a contact which is affixed to a sheet of paper containing all pertinent data “No one else is doing what I do” Walters said “These family treasures belong back in family Circles not in secondhand shops so I am preserving them and make them available to their rightful Wish you one else is doing what I do These family treasures belong back in family circles not in secondhand shops so I am preserving them and make them available to their rightful families ’ ‘iVo the list and if they discover their family name they can request additional material for a modest fee Walters computerized her data and she can provide inexpensive duplicates of photographs She has her own darkroom Her background in a New York company in portrait studio and at a quick photo-finis-h Seattle helps in her hobby “I’ve always been fascinated by old photographs” she said Her collection dates from 1840 to 1920 Additionally she compiled a booklet which has the names of 1800 different photographers with the cities in which they had studios The information comes from her photo collection About 85 percent of the photographers are American and most of the others are British and German Even if your families never migrated to the West you may discover their pictures were carried across America by relatives and friends only to be discarded years later by uninterested descendants Perhaps 34-pa- families” Walters advertises her collection in such magazines as “The Genealogical Helper” and attends many genealogical seminars When queries arrive about her collection she sends lists containing hundreds of surnames People scan Mick - “Primitive Cool" There’s an urgency in the voice and a kick to the sound that’s been missing from Jagger’s 'recent work The veteran Rolling Stone may have been looking over his shoulder on his first solo album 1985's “She's the Boss” but now he sounds like a man who just got pardoned from a life sentence “I just felt there was a certain point where I had to do something on my own Otherwise I’d never do it" said an upbeat Jagger shortly before the album was released "I felt that I wasn't really fulfilling myself totally within the band” Jagger’s decision to record and tour outside of the Rolling Stones led to a hot and often bitter war of words with Stones Keith Richards but in this interview Jagger insisted that the Stones still had a future “I don't think that the Rolling Stones will never work together as a unit again" he said “I feel strongly that they will and I hope they will make more records and possibly work again live I don’t see it as the end of the road for the Rolling Stones because I feel that I want to make records outside the band “What I really want to do here is stretch out and do my own vision VW rather than just doing this very democratic vision of music which is what the Rolling Stones embody I enjoy doing that but I want to do this now” S admitted that he was to feel trapped by his the Stones rThe Rolling Stones has become such a refined rock band It's become such a classic rock band that you can almost not move outside the boundaries within it” he said “So if you just want to work slightly differently you have to do it on your own I think that's perfectly valid and it's very good for one’s creativity to do that Walters will documents and included in the ambrotypes and So why did he wait over 20 years before making a solo record? “Probably what I felt was that I was doing it within the band” he reasoned “That I didn’t have anything to say that couldn't be said within the confines of the band “Also it's a very safe thing to be in a band so you’re always being supported have a big name and so forth I probably was being a bit lazy creatively as well I wrote a lot but on the other hand perhaps there was a bit of a muchness It's very hard for me to intellectualize and put it into this is what happened this year and this is what happened that year I don't really know The band had their ups and downs and your own - ' r - provide inexpensive photocopies of books she has collected Prices are catalogue She also copies tintypes daguerreotypes To obtain her “Catalog of Genealogical Material” send 80 cents in stamps to Judith Allison Walters PO Box 129 Bothell Wash 98041 o 1907 Lo Angela Tlm Syndicate — on his own personal creativity had its ups and downs" Jagger was unable to pinpoint a particular incident that lea to his decision “I don’t remember that sort of blinding moment” he said “but I guess it was there for a long while those things tend to creep up on you But it’s not such an unusual thing to do The more unusual thing is to not do it and I think that I was just being really lazy “Working with Keith a writer you’ve been working with for a long time you expect other people to put a lot of input into your songs so that you can go into the studio with a song that perhaps isn’t totally finished or you don't have a total vision for Some parts you purposely leave undone because you hope the rest of the band is gonna chip in with ideas “In other words making records with a group should be a group effort as far as arranging and everything whereas with a solo record itTs a slightly different concept because you really want to feel that this is yours and though other people are welcome to cup in ideas you can reject those ideas without feeling anything really You have to have a very clear idea of what you want to do You've got to show the way totally It shouldn’t really be like that with a group” of your she collects In addition to the photographs miscellaneous documents and memorabilia that genealogists love Thumbing through her current catalogue is like being turned loose in a genealogical secondhand store You never know what treasures you’ll discover There’s the 1909 passport of Karl Gustaf Pettersson and wife Hulda Katarina some 1896-9- 7 naturalization papers of Lars Erikson of Brown County Minnesota and a Civil War-er- a autograph album belonging to Emma Jane Fireng of Camden NJ Walters retrieved a 1913 Seattle (Broadway High list of students and School) yearbook a 1917-1- 8 faculty of Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio and a 1931 North Dakota State College (Fargo) homecoming booklet which contains photographs and information on current and former students She also has compiled two small books relating to Jewish genealogy One pertains to some families in Przasnysa and Ciechanow Warsaw Poland the other is the 1846 enumeration of the Jews of Fraustadt Prussia It consists of 159 households with names birth dates places and the maiden names of the women Jagger plays it ‘Primitive Cool’ “A love NEW YORK (UPI) like that is much too good to ever throw away" sings Mick Jagger at the outset of his new solo album has rescued some photographs ancestors Mick Jagger |
