Anecdote* My mother, Thelma Gertrude Maybee, was the rock that held us together. Without her fortitude, our family would have dissolved rapidly.
Thelma was born in Rosebush, Michigan, the second child and only daughter of Herbert Maybee and Nina Henrietta Chapman. They had three children, Minard, Thelma , and Ronald.
Thelma was delivered by Dr Benjamin Franklin Patterson Johnston, a cousin who deliver all of the babies in that area for some forty years. He always called Thelma his "Blue Ribbon Baby" because she was the only dark haired baby he had delivered in that bunch of blondes. Her dark hair came from the Maybee side which has some Indian blood scattered in the lineage.
The three children had a rough upbringing. Nina Maybee was quite ill with Tuberculosis and it was felt that the damp climate of Central Michigan was not helping her so they moved to Bartlesville, Oklahoma near a family friend named Billy Boyd. Herbert went to work in the oil fields, which was about the only work available in that area but things slowed down. They felt that the drier climate of Bakersfield, California would be better for Nina so they moved to that area. Thelma remembers that Herbert built them a tent home to live in and they lived on the project, the name given for the oil fields. Nina's health did not improve and she died on July 25, 1911. They shipped the body to Mt. Pleasant, Michigan for burial and also moved the children back to Michigan.
Herbert then left the children with their aunts and returned to California. Thelma 's Aunt Mary and Uncle Fred was going to adopt her. She said,"Uncle Fred was an old Bastard and you had to watch out for him or he would try to get you behind a plant or something and try to rape you."They were talking about putting Ronald in an orphanage and Grandma Chapman took Minard. Thelma 's Aunt Amelia (Thelma always called her Aunt Millie even later when most of the family called her Íkie) did not want to separate Thelma and Ronald so she talked to her husband Pearl Doane and got him to agree to take them.
They lived in Mt. Pleasant and attended the Training School at Michigan State Normal (now called Central Michigan) which was a training school for teachers and most of their teachers were students working towards their Teaching Certificate. Thelma could remember some of the teaching critics, as the supervising teachers were called, from her first few years there.
Pearl and Amelia Doane stayed in Michigan for a few years but Amelia's daughter by her first marriage to Will Graham, Bernice Graham, had a lung disease, called Impaia, that was not getting better in Michigan so they opted to move to Oklahoma where the weather was drier. This meant that Amelia had to move to Oklahoma with her young son, Robert, her sick daughter, Bernice, her other daughter Mildred, her niece, Thelma; and her nephew, Ronald. They moved to Oklahoma in 1920. Pearl stayed in Oklahoma for a while but he got lonesome for his mother and Michigan so he returned to Michigan, leaving Aunt Millie in Bartlesville, Oklahoma with no man to help raise five growing children and no means of support. Bernice's health continued to get worse and someone recommended that they move to New Mexico where the air was much drier along with the higher altitude. So in 1921, Aunt Millie moved the four younger children to Albuquerque, New Mexico and took a job as a seamstress for one of the Jewish Department stores. It was here that she later got her nickname "Ikie" as she would wave her hands while she was talking. She rented a house on the East side of town and eventually was able to put the down payment on the house at 902 W. Roma Avenue and operate it as a boarding house.
At the end of her Junior year at Albuquerque High School, Ikie told Thelma she would not be able to finish her next year. Thelma thought the world had come to an end since she couldn't finish her high school education. She took a job as an operator with the phone company.
Thomas Flanagan moving to Arizona and marrying her was one of the best things that happened to Thelma as it got her out from under the pressure, of being the orphan girl that had to wait on the family.5

Her hobbies included sewing, painting, gardening and she was an avid bird watcher, but her passion was genealogy. She joined the Maybee Society (www.maybeesociety.org) in the early 1990's, sharing her research on the descendants of Catherine Mabie (1768 - >1851) and Nicholas John Van Patten (1769 - 1819)

Fran was a mentor to Jerry W. Wilson in the Van Patten genealogy, who took over Fran's hard work through his ongoing website, Van Patten Ancestry, www.vanpattenancestry.com
He writes about her, "Fran (Van Patter) Hindmarsh was the sole person who had the patience, knowledge and expertise to compile the various ‘V.P.' families into an easy to understand genealogy book with an accompanying index of individual persons to page number for an easy look up. Fran was the first ‘V.P.' family genealogist to incorporate the use of a home computer to compile, collate and organize the various and extensive written family records and photos. Fran produced and published three truly updated books called "Van Patten" before her total retirement in 2005, due to health reasons. Because of her love and enjoyment of ‘V.P.' ancestry, she charged not a penny more than the price of her costs for these books!!! What a great human being !!! Thousands, if not tens of thousands of hours were spent by Fran to make each of her "Van Patten" books into what they are - - Simply Fantastic !!!"4

Anecdote Historian and psychotherapist Carleton Mabee won the Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for his book, The American Leonardo: A Life of Samuel F. B. Morse.
Mabee received his PhD in History from Columbia University. He is Professor Emeritus of History of the State University of New York College at New Paltz, N Y. Retired from teaching, Mabee is involved in the NY Sojourner Truth Institute and leads bus tours of sites historically linked to her. In 1993, he and his daughter, Susan Mabee Newhouse, wrote the first extensive biography of Truth, Sojourner Truth, Slave, Prophet, Legend.
Mabee has said that his inspiration for his most recent work, Listen to the Whistle: An Anecdotal History of the Walkill Valley Railroad in Ulster and Orange Counties, came from hearing the whistles of the trains heading for the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, near where he lives in Gardiner, NY.

Before Carleton Mabee soldiered through six years of basic researcher on Sojourner Truth, authors copied the same overblown myths and mistakes from one book to the next, historians and reviewers say. ... "He's done a beautiful job, says Town of Esopus Historian Dorothy DuMond. I think he is going to be the absolute reference for her. He spent so many years digging out the facts. He made her come alive to me."

oObit20 December 2014  On 20 December 2014 at Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, the obituary of Carleton Mabee read: Pulitzer Prize winner and seasonal Oak Bluffs resident Carleton Mabee died Thursday, December 18, 2014 [after suffering a fall at his home in Gardiner, NY]. The author of numerous books and articles on American history, Mr. Mabee was Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York at New Paltz and had been a seasonal resident of Oak Bluffs since 1950. He was 99 and would have been 100 on Christmas day.
Professor Mabee was born in Shanghai in 1914. His parents were teachers and missionaries.
He was educated at Bates College and Columbia University. His dissertation, The American Leonardo: A Life of Samuel F. B. Morse, won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1944. Writing in the introduction, Allan Nevins said, "It is fortunate that the materials for a complete biography have fallen into the hands of a student so industrious and keen-sighted, and a writer so gifted, as Mr. Mabee."
Other books followed: The Seaway Story (1961), Black Freedom: The Non-Violent Abolitionists From 1830 Through the Civil War (1970), Black Education in New York State from Colonial to Modern Times (1979, winner of several awards), Sojourner Truth: Slave, Prophet, Legend (1993, with his daughter Susan Newhouse).
During World War II, Dr. Mabee took a pacifist position, spending the war years as a conscientious objector in Civilian Public Service. His assignments included working as an attendant in mental hospitals. Immediately following the war he spent a year in Austria working for the American Friends Service Committee relief effort. Subsequently, he led several projects for the AFSC in the US, including a voter registration drive in North Carolina in 1963.
In 1945 he met and married Norma Dierking and the couple had two children, Timothy and Susan.
In 1953, he was awarded a Fulbright fellowship to teach at Keio University in Japan. Over a long academic career, he taught history at Olivet College in Michigan, Clarkson College of Technology in New York, and Delta College in Michigan. He retired from the State University of New York at New Paltz.
He considered his true calling to be research and writing. After he retired, he focused his efforts on New York State history. He wrote Bridging the Hudson: The Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge and Its Connecting Rail Lines (2001) and Listen to the Whistle: An Anecdotal History of the Walkill Valley Railroad (2009.) He served as historian to the Town of Gardiner, where he lived, and wrote Gardiner and Lake Minnewaska (2003). A final book on efforts to protect open space in the Shawangunk Mountains is forthcoming in 2015.
Services were held Saturday at New Paltz United Methodist Church in New York.20 
oObit*22 December 2014  On 22 December 2014 at Washington, DC, the obituary of Carleton Mabee read: Carleton Mabee, a historian who won the Pulitzer Prize for his scrupulous and often-scathing biography of the painter and telegraph inventor Samuel Morse, died Dec. 18 at his home in Gardiner, N.Y. He would have been 100 on Christmas Day.
The death was announced by the State University of New York at New Paltz, where he had been a professor emeritus of history. The cause was complications from a fall, said his daughter, Susan Mabee Newhouse.
The son of Baptist missionary teachers, Mr. Mabee (pronounced "maybe") spent his first nine years in China and later grew up in Maine. He spent his career focused on American social history, while also forging an independent path in politics and scholarship.
He was classified as a conscientious objector during World War II and performed civilian public service work, including a stint as an attendant in mental hospitals. He quit one of his first teaching jobs over his sharp dissent with the college's administration over the purging of faculty for holding left-wing political beliefs.
During the civil rights movement of the 1960s, he participated in sit-ins and voter registration drives in the South.
Mr. Mabee was 30 when he earned the Pulitzer, which grew out of his doctoral dissertation at Columbia University and might have established him on a high-profile, Ivy League career path.
"By choice he never was one to want that kind of status, and he hated to be called ‘Doctor,' " said his daughter. "What was important to him was his ability to do research, his ability to write and pursue social justice causes." For much of the 1950s, she said, they lived on a farm in Potsdam, N.Y., while he taught at the nearby Clarkson College of Technology.
In his graduate studies at Columbia in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Mr. Mabee came under the tutelage of the Pulitzer-winning historian Allan Nevins, who encouraged the student's interest in Morse.
The result was the publication in 1943 of Mr. Mabee's "The American Leonardo," about Samuel Morse, a cocksure painter and prolific inventor best remembered for creating the electromagnetic telegraph and lending his name to the code by which words were transmitted by taps representing each letter of the alphabet.
After long struggle, Morse publicly unveiled his telegraph in 1844 and sent the oft-quoted first message on an experimental line from Washington to Baltimore: "What hath God wrought?
Morse died in 1872 at 80. A few years later, an acquaintance named Samuel I. Prime wrote a hagiographic biography that stood for 50 years as the standard reference work on Morse.
It took Mr. Mabee to ferret out other dimensions to his life. Morse co-founded the Journal of Commerce and was an early master of the daguerreotype. But his personality could be dreadfully off-putting, including his pro-slavery politics, his anti-Catholic vitriol and his run for mayor of New York on an anti-immigrant platform. He was also apparently a horrid husband and father.
Critics hailed the book as darkly illuminating.
"Mr. Mabee whitewashes nothing," science journalist Waldemar Kaempffert wrote in his New York Times review. "He gives us Morse the narrow Calvinist who loathed Unitarians and saw in the Catholic Church only an evil political system; the chauvinist who hated England and raised his voice in political campaigns to plead for the expulsion of foreign-born citizens from the United States; [but also the] businessman who had so high a sense of social responsibility that he wanted to sell his invention to the government and thus prevent the wild speculation that he foresaw.
"It is a very human Morse that emerges from Mr. Mabee's pages."
Mr. Mabee wrote that he titled his work "The American Leonardo" in homage to the Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci because he wanted him to "be known as more than a telegrapher." It won the 1944 Pulitzer for biography or autobiography.
Fred Carleton Mabee Jr. was born Dec. 25, 1914, in Shanghai, where his parents were teachers and Baptist missionaries. His father was from Canada and the family name was of Huguenot origin.
The younger Mabee — who later legally changed his name to Carleton Mabee — was mostly raised in Lewiston, Maine, where his father taught chemistry at Bates College.
Mr. Mabee graduated in 1936 from Bates College and then entered Columbia, where he received a master's degree in 1938 and a doctorate in 1942.
After World War II, he was a relief worker in Vienna with the American Friends Service Committee and then joined the faculty of Olivet College, a school in Michigan with a student body of less than 300.
He seemed drawn by Olivet's reputation for accommodating socialists, pacifists and other idiosyncratic voices among the faculty; for years, it was nicknamed "little Bohemia."
But the arrival of a new president, Aubrey Ashby, a former executive at NBC, provoked conflict when he accused teachers of "indoctrinating students with their peculiar ideas of democracy" and labeled his administration "a period of sanitation."
Ashby dismissed several members of the faculty, and many others left in protest in 1949, including Mr. Mabee and Tucker Smith, who had been the Socialist ticket's vice presidential candidate in 1948.
Mr. Mabee spent the next dozen years teaching at what is now Clarkson University in Potsdam, and he subsequently chaired the department of humanities and social sciences at what is now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Ind. He joined SUNY at New Paltz in 1965 and retired in 1980.
He was married to Norma Dierking from 1945 until her death in 2004. Survivors include two children, Timothy I. Mabee of Naperville, Ill., and Susan Mabee Newhouse of Baltimore; two granddaughters; and two great-grandchildren.
Mr. Mabee wrote a shelf of well-regarded books, including "The Seaway Story" (1961), about the St. Lawrence Seaway; "Black Freedom: The Nonviolent Abolitionists from 1830 Through the Civil War" (1970); and a biography of the 19th-century abolitionist Sojourner Truth, "Sojourner Truth: Slave, Prophet, Legend" (1993), the last co-written with his daughter, who has a professional background as a psychotherapist.
He also wrote several histories focused on the Hudson Valley of Upstate New York. Among the last was "Promised Land" (2008), about Father Divine, the black spiritual leader who started interracial communities in Ulster County, N.Y., starting in the 1930s.
"Intentional, utopian communities fascinate me," he wrote in the preface. "I am attracted to their idealism. I want to understand their successes and their failures." He added that the book shared a theme many of his others, namely "the struggle for racial integration and the application of non-violence to social change."21
