(Research):Cumberland is a historic county of North West England that had an administrative function from the 12th century until 1974. It was bordered by Northumberland to the east, County Durham to the southeast, Westmorland and Lancashire to the south, and the Scottish counties of Dumfriesshire and Roxburghshire to the north. It formed an administrative county from 1889 to 1974 (excluding Carlisle from 1914) and now forms part of Cumbria.
Cumbria is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county in North West England. The county of Cumbria was created in April 1974 through an amalgamation of the administrative counties of Cumberland and Westmorland after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972. Cumbria's county town is Carlisle, in the north of the county, and the only other major urban area is Barrow-in-Furness on the southwestern tip of the county.
Carlisle is a cathedral city in Cumbria in North West England as well as the administrative centre for both Carlisle City Council and Cumbria County Council. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteril, 16 km south of the Scottish border. Originally in the historic county of Cumberland, it is now the largest town in the county of Cumbria. The earliest recorded inhabitants were the Carvetii tribe of Britons who made up the main population of ancient Cumbria and North Lancashire. According to Boethius and John of Fordun, Carlisle existed before the arrival of the Romans who built a timber fort at the site of present Carlisle Castle in the winter of 73 BCE.

Hugh married Jane Dufton about 1877 in Penrith, Cumberland, England. Jane was born on 14 Feb 1846 in Middlesceugh, Cumberland, England; died on 30 Mar 1893 in Orchard, Antelope Co, Nebraska; was buried about Mar 1893 in Pleasant View Cemetery, Pierce Co, Nebraska. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1892, Robert William Holliday, then a child of 12, kept a detailed diary when he accompanied his father, Hugh Sutton Holliday Sr on an emigration voyage from England to Canada. It's apparent he also intended at least some of it as a letter to his mother back home in Castle Sowerby, Cumberland, England.
Here are some excerpts from that diary entitled My Trip to the New World. [committed to a printed booklet by Merton Beth Cooley]. Note: I have changed punctuation but kept his spellings.
Monday May 16th 1892. [Robert and his father Hugh] came to Liverpool [where he had] a walk through several of the streets. We booked for Winnipeg on Tuesday and sailed on Thursday.
Friday May 20th 1892. Time morning up at 7 passing West Coast of Toe stand, Ship heaving up and down at 10-15 AM in view of Trust Mountains Sea; rather rough waves, like mountains, has been very sick on deck watching the water rolling about. [At 8 pm] the sea still rough been very sick all day about half of the passengers sick and vomiting all over the Deck and I have had nothing to eat all day except one bottle of Soda water.
Saturday May 21st 1892. Fine morning and a calm sea; the ship running very steady but am still rather sick yet but not so bad as yesterday; had some portage for Breakfast. Dad is quite well and has never been sick yet. We are about 600 miles from Liverpool. We are going about 15 miles an hour; we got some terrible heaves yesterday; it was just like a swing Boat up and down But it is very nice this morning; we can walk all over the ship.
[We have] plenty of good things to eat; we can have porridge or Tea, Coffee, Beef steaks, Fish, or Preserves for Breakfast. Our Dinners consist of Roast Beef Fish and Potattoos or Tea if you wish. Your Tea is plane with cold meat.
Sunday May 22nd 1892. Sunday morning Fine with a strong head wind. Dada has just had Breakfast consisting of Ham & Eggs but I could not take any.
Dear Mama when you come to America bring some Tea and a Tea Pot with you. Then you can make your own Tea as I am sure you will not like this Tea. There is a lot of Ladys in our cabin and they all have there own Tea pot. Dada and me is going to church this morning at half past ten.
The White Seagull followed the ship up till last night. Just Finished dinner of Soup, Roast Beef Hot Pot, which was very good; then Plum Pudding and apples. I think Dada had made a good dinner as he has Eaten my Plum Pudding as well as his own. Today we are going to church this afternoon again. Had Tea and Some Fish I am all right now and can eat Plenty. Our Ship Sailed 356 miles on Saturday so we are now 933 miles from Liverpool today.
Monday May 23rd 1892. Just had Breakfast, Porage and milk; Dada had some Beef steak and Onions and Tea. It is a very wet morning hear [and] we have all to remain inside; the ship is not running so study this morning; she is rocking a little and Some of the Passangers has not come to Breakfast. We have two very old Ladys on Board and they are both poorly this morning.
[It is stormy with] side wind the Spray flowing over the Deck and the Ship is rolling about and knocking people about like Cats. Some is very sick and others laughing at them. I do not know how Dada does [it], he has never been sick yet and can go about any way.
It is very funny to see the plates tumbling off the table all up and down the floor; [some people] cry now and again, it is very Laughable yet you dare not laugh for fear it is your own turn next time to fall...the Ship is rocking like a Craddle.
Tuesday May 24th 1892 06:30. Fine morning and the Sea quite calm again with a north west wind it looks like being a fine day as the sky is so clear. We expect to see Land today, the Banks of Newfoundland. Everyone seems to Be on Deck; Some playing at Cards; Some smoking; some singing. It is quite Jolly and the sea is a smooth as a Field. Tell John [John Dufton Holliday, 1882-1961) he will have some fine fun when he comes.
Dear Mama when you come bring plenty of oranges and apples with you as they are Dear on Board. Oranges is 2D apiece, apples, 1 Beer GDP per bottle. You need not be frightened when you come as there nothing to hurt you on a big ship like this. I have been seeing the Germans are on [board; they eat] Potatoes with there Skin on and salt herring. They eat the herring raw, Bones head altogether. They are a rough for People and very dirty.
Our ship has sailed 350 miles today as we are now 1611 miles from Liverpool. It is beginning rain again this afternoon. I hope you are all well at home I often think about you all but I hope that will soon meet again. I am going to send you this book as soon as we get to Winnipeg. Write as soon as you can and address the letters to Dada: HS Holliday, Post Office, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Tuesday May 24th 1892 17:45. Just had Tea and I have been at a concert this afternoon. There was two Fiddles playing and a lot of songs sung; it has been rather wet but the Passengers is all very harty. There is one Lady with a little boy Just like little Hugh [Hugh Sutton Holliday Jr, 1889-1977), he is a fine boy and she has to little girls as well. She is going to her husband in Manitoba.
There has a thick fog come on tonight and the ship is only going half speed So that will keep us Longer of getting to Quebec. She is barely stirring now, almost stopped all together. So I think I will be off to my Bunk for the night hopping that we will have a better morning.
Wednesday May 25th 1892. Our ship has been standing still all night on account of the Fog...They drew the anker at 5 o'clock and we are going ahead now but is terrible cold, that cold you cannot stand on Deck. They say we are passing some Icebergs we expect to see Some Land today. Tell John that I have given a boy a smack on his ear this morn...he would not let me alone.
Dad is not so well this morning he has had a glass of Brandy Hot. He had to pay 4 pence for it. The passengers all Seem to be tired out now and wants to be on shore once more.
The ship is going at a good speed now but we lost about 8 hrs last night. They say we are near Cape Race* now but cannot see anything yet. We have all just been on Deck looking at a Great Iceberg; it is as white as snow and twice as big as Todholes** House floating about.
We have only come 260 miles today; we are passing Cape Clear*** now but cannot see it for the fog; it is very windy and the waves is rolling like mountains again and the ship is heaving up and down. These Icebergs we see is just like a great hall covered with snow. They float about like a Boat. If a ship runs against them it would smash her all to pieces.
Thursday May 26th 1892 08:00. We have seen two or three Vessels this morning. Dada is not so well This morning; he was at the Doctor last night; he has got a cold. We expect to land at Quebec tomorrow morning. 12 o'clock we are 700 miles from Quebec so we will have another 48 hours sailing to put up with yet. I am getting weary of it. Now Dada is in bed today.
[To his mother] mind you be shure to Book Second class cabin, it is more comfortable. The steerage passengers have to put up with a lot of hardships. They are fed like Pigs and knocked about. Anyway People had better pay the extra money and be comfortable.
4 o'clock we have come in sight of Land once more, The Cape St Peter**** they call it (Cape St Pierre). Everyone on Board seems to rejoice at the sight of it in the hopes that They will not be long of landing. We can see on the Hills now. We are getting so near them we can see a lot of Houses. [But they still had a long way to go].
We are entering the Gulf of St Lawrence and have just met another Large Ship loaded with cattle Bound for Glasgow. [Our passengers] are dancing on Deck tonight and all is very merry on Board, Except Dada and he is very Dull. The ship is going very steady now since we have ot out of the Atlantic and it is a great deal warmer. We have traveled 324 miles today so good night again am off to Bed.
Friday May 27th 1892. Friday morning very fine and the Sea is ery smoth, not even a ripple on it. We have passed the Island of Consestin (Anticosti Island) and now we are coming in sight of Cape ______. They say we shall see land all the way to Quebec now up the St Lawrence.
Our ship is running just about half a mile from shore all the way. We can see the people walking on shore. This is the best part of the voyage but we have between 3 and 4 hundred miles to go yet. I have seen America now...it is all forest nothing else but wood. It is what they call the lower part of Canada. There seems to be many thousands of acres of this Forest; we see mountain after mountain; some little place where they are breaking up the land.
2 o'clock we have now got fairly into the river now; there is land on both sides of us; it is a good deal warmer; now we are seeing lots of steamers and other sights.
6 o'clock had Tea which will be the last that we will get on ship Board which is a great Blessing for I do long for a cup of good Tea. The passengers is getting very anxious about getting on shore.

Notes:

The following is from a newspaper clipping, just the story; no source, no dates. I will make an educated guess it was from the Plainview News, Plainview, Pierce Co, Nebraska, in January 1908.

When some beloved voice that was to you
Both sound and sweetness faileth and deny
And silence, against which you dare not cry
Aches round you like a strong disease and new
What hope? What help? What music will undo
That silence to your sense! Not friendship's sigh
Not reason's subtle count. Nay none of these
Speak Thou availing Christ and fill this pause.

Notes:

Ronald Delos Cooley was born in Crofton, Knox County, Nebraska 28 Jan 1906, son of Herbert Merton (Mert) Cooley and Elizabeth Holliday. Late the next year a second child, Merton Beth Cooley, was born (7 Dec 1907) shortly after which Elizabeth died of complications. Ronald went to live with his grandparents Robert Reed Cooley and Beth was taken in and raised by his uncle Robert Berton Cooley and his wife, Carrie Louella Miller. Ronald attended grade school in Crofton, Nebr, and high schools in Flagler, Colo and Otis, Colo. While in Crofton he helped his father, Mert, in his newspaper business then continued to help at his uncle Bert's newspaper, the Otis Independent, in Otis, Colo in 1911. He learned to operate the Linotype at the Independent and with his early immersion in newspapering, Ronald decided to continue in the business. He first attended the University of Denver then the University of Colorado in Boulder Colo where he attained a bachelor's degree in journalism. While at the University, Ronald was a member of Kappa Sigma social fraternity and of Sigma Delta Chi journalistic fraternity where he served as president in his senior year. After graduation he took a newspaper job with Smith-Brooks Printing Company in Denver. In succeeding years he also worked at the Record Stockman, the Denver Post, and one summer, at the Steamboat Springs Pilot. Eventually he returned to Akron, Colo., to work at his Uncle Bert's newspaper, the Akron News-Reporter. In Denver he was married to his high school sweetheart, Irene Skinner, on July 20, 1935. They had two children, Luanne b. 22 May 1940, and a son, James Ronald b. 16 Dec 1943. Luanne was married to Larry Winkelman of Dodge City, Kan., and James married Maria Morrison of Holdrege, Nebr. On February 15, 1937, Ronald and his cousin Dale moved to Limon, Colo., to operate the Eastern Colorado Leader as a partnership set up by Bert. About two years later the paper was combined with the Genoa Sentinal and renamed the Limon Leader. The partnership continued until June 1, 1972, when the newspaper was sold to Norman R. Sunderland and Associates. "During the Eisenhower administration, Ron [was offered] the job of Postmaster at Limon. Before accepting the position Ron lost a lot of sleep while pondering the multitude of details and irritations that would be a part of a postmaster's daily life. 'I got as far as the swearing-in part of it, then decided not to take it', Ron recalled". Ronald served as Mayor of Limon for two terms and as a city councilman for several terms. In 1955, Ronald and Dale, were honored as "Editors of the Year" by the University of Colorado Department of journalism. He was a member of the Colorado Press Association while active in the newspaper business and served on the board of directors, as well as in many different committees. He was a member of the Limon Lions Club of which he was a charter member, a member of the First United Methodist Church of Limon, and an honorary member of the Limon High School "L" Club. Ronald Delos Cooley died January 11, 1980 ae 73. He is buried at Pershing Memorial Cemetery (Limon Cemetery), Limon, Lincoln County, Colorado. Note that Ronald Delos died just 37 days after the death of his cousin Clifford Coyne Cooley (both raised as brothers) who had died on 5 Dec 1979 in Akron Colorado. One's death close to the death of a sibling or close relative is called the bereavement effect. This effect came into play in this family again in 1994 when cousins-raised-as-brothers Robert Miller Cooley and Merton Beth Cooley died just one day apart, Beth 3 Nov 1992, Bob 4 Nov 1992.

(Research):Delos - As a given name for boys it is of Greek derivation, and the name Delos means "from Delos" where Delos is a tiny Greek island that was sacred to the ancient Greeks who believed that Apollo and Artemis had been born there. Its usage peaked modestly in 1904 with 0.007% of baby boys being named Delos. - http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Delos

Ronald married Irene Elva Skinner on 19 Jul 1935 in Denver, Denver Co, Colorado. Irene (daughter of Leonard E Skinner and Ethel Campbell Powell) was born on 29 Jul 1907 in Anabel, Macon Co, Missouri; died on 6 Dec 1990 in Hugo, Lincoln Co, Colorado; was buried on 10 Dec 1990 in Pershing Memorial Cemetery, Limon, Lincoln Co, Colorado.

Notes:

Merton Beth Cooley was born to Herbert Merton (Mert) and Elizabeth Holliday Cooley on Dec 7, 1907, in Crofton, Neb. His mother died in 1908 from complications of childbirth. His father was editor and publisher of the Crofton Journal so Beth and his elder brother, Ronald literally grew up in the newspaper business. On 14 Nov 1914, a car in which Herbert Merton was a passenger plunged off the Yankton pontoon bridge over the Missouri River drowning him and another passenger in the car. His body was never recovered. Robert Berton Cooley (a twin brother of Herbert Merton) and his wife Carrie Louella Miller had homesteaded to a farm near Flagler Colorado in 1910 and in 1912 Bert had started the Otis Independent in Otis, Colo., 59 miles north of Flagler. Upon learning of his brother's death, Bert sold the Independent and he and his wife and two sons moved back to Crofton to take over the newspaper. They immediately took in and raised Beth and his elder brother Ronald as members of the family. Beth was still just a small boy at this time but he was already working in the family business. "I could read upside down when I was about four or five, and I was hand-setting type before I went to school. To get the paper out, we were hand-setting type day and night. Us kids never knew anything else." In 1916, because of a worsening allergy condition, Bert sold the Crofton Journal and the family returned to Colorado to resume operation of the Otis Independent, this time with two more "sons" in tow. Beth attended school in Otis, graduating from Otis High School in 1927. He also proved to be a fine football player. In his younger years, Beth played trumpet in a local dance band called "The Night Hawks" and became an excellent performer. After graduation, Beth attended the University of Colorado for a short time, later moving back to Otis to help Bert with the newspaper. Beth married Viola Myfanwy Kyffin on May 25, 1929, in Otis and they had one son, Herbert Merton. His Uncle Bert continued to operate the Independent until the fall of 1928 when, in a trade, he swapped the Otis Independent for ownership in the Monte Vista Tribune, Monte Vista, Colorado. Within a few months, Bert disposed of the Tribune and the family moved to Akron, Colo., where he bought the Akron Semi-Weekly News and the Akron Reporter combining the two papers on February 28, 1929 into the Akron News-Reporter. Its first edition was published on 7 Mar 1929. Beth was an adept Linotype operator and he had a natural bent for mechanics of all kinds. Through the years he became known as one of the best repairmen on all printing machinery and was sought after by other newspapers in northeastern Colorado for repair work. On the retirement of the original owners of the Akron News-Reporter, his Uncle Bert and Aunt Lou, Beth and his cousin, Coyne Cooley, became the sole owners of the Akron News-Reporter, which they continued to operate until 1979. All in all, Beth had worked in the weekly newspaper business almost 68 years: from a four-year-old kid folding newspapers at the Crofton Journal to the sale of the Akron News-Reporter in 1979. In keeping with his interest in mechanics, he had a life-long love affair with the automobile (his favorite, Buick). Beth was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and a charter member of the Akron Rotary Club. He was honored as a Paul Harris Fellow. Merton Beth Cooley died at Sterling Regional MedCenter on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1992 ae 84. Funeral services were held Friday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. from the First Presbyterian Church in Akron with Rev. Kyle Weir officiating. Interment followed in the Akron Cemetery with Yeamans & Gordon Memorial Chapel in charge of arrangements.

Merton married Viola Myfanwy Kyffin on 25 May 1929 in Golden, Jefferson Co, Colorado. Viola (daughter of Seth James Kyffin and Julia S. Oram) was born on 20 Jan 1908 in Denver, Denver Co, Colorado; died on 1 May 1995 in Brush (Sunset Manor), Ft Morgan Co, Colorado; was buried on 4 May 1995 in Akron Cemetery, Washington Co, Colorado.

*The Red Hat Society (RHS) is an international social organization that was founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but now open to women of all ages. In the fall of 1997, Sue Ellen Cooper, an artist from Fullerton, California, bought a red hat and gave it to a friend as a birthday gift. She was inspired by the Jenny Joseph poem, "Warning", that was popularized by a Reader's Digest article written by Liz Carpenter in which a poem begins: "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me...". Cooper repeated the gift to several other friends who eventually bought purple outfits and held a tea party on April 25, 1998, at which the Red Hat Society began. Cooper facilitated the growth of the organization and now serves as "Exalted Queen Mother" of the organization. She has written two books about the society: The Red Hat Society: Friendship and Fun After Fifty (2004) and The Red Hat Society's Laugh Lines: Stories of Inspiration and Hattitude (2005). With Chapters online and offline across the globe, membership in the Red Hat Society offers powerful interpersonal connections and emotional support systems for women from all walks of life.

(Research):Fatal accident occurs at Limon's Parade of Lights
By Will Bublitz
What was meant to be a joyous holiday event was turned into tragedy as a fatal vehicle-pedestrian accident took place in Limon as its annual Parade of Lights was about to begin last Saturday evening, Dec. 18. The accident took place at the downtown area's main intersection of Main Street and E Avenue about 6 p.m. According to an accident investigation by the Colorado State Patrol, a 2018 Ford Focus was headed eastbound on Main Street as it approached the intersection which has a stoplight. "The Ford slowed down for a red light as it approached E Avenue", Trooper Josh Lewis said. The two pedestrians were walking south across Main Street as the light changed to green. Before they had finished crossing the street they were both struck by the car. The pedestrians were Luanne Winkelman, 81, and her 56-year-old son, Joel both of Limon. Immediately following the accident, they were rushed by ambulance to Lincoln Community Hospital in Hugo. "Due to the seriousness of her injuries, the 81-year-old female was later flown by AirLife helicopter to Swedish Hospital in Denver," Trooper Lewis said. "In the early morning hours of December 19 she was declared deceased." Joel Winkelman suffered "moderate injuries" in the accident. He was later released from the hospital in Hugo. The driver of the Ford Focus was 40-year-old Michael Jantz of Limon. He was not injured in the accident. The Colorado State Patrol is in charge of this case. "This is still an open case and the investigation is continuing." Trooper Lewis said. "Alcohol is considered a possible factor. Charges may be pending". Saturday's accident occurred just as the annual Parade of Lights was about to begin. Floats and other vehicles were lined up on E Avenue in preparation to crossing Main Street into Limon's small downtown area where hundreds of spectators were gathered to watch the parade. The Limon Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Parade of Lights which celebrates the Christmas season. Following this tragic incident, the organizers of the parade immediately canceled the event for this year.
