Manhattan, 1887
When my great grandparents landed at the Castle Garden immigration depot at the tip of Manhattan in 1887, this is what New York City looked like, at least on one street. It must have been exciting, traveling from the far reaches of Germany in Eastern Europe, likely visiting the cities of Stettin, Berlin and Bremen along the way, and ending up in New York City after crossing the Atlantic before setting out for their final destination, South Dakota.

What was he doing in South America? In Montevideo, Uruguay?
AND WHERE IS YOUR WIFE?
My great grandmother’s younger brother, Leslie Warren Darling, was engaged to a girl named Ruth June Amos. But his death during the First World War changed their plans.
Ruth married another World War I veteran, William Donald Jordan, on August 12, 1919 in Red Oak, Montgomery County, Iowa.
There is a nine year gap in records. I can’f find any records for either of them until January 17, 1928, when William arrived in New York City after taking a ship, the SS American Legion, from Montevideo, Uruguay.
He had already apparently been living in New York City for some time, a residence at 41 Broad Street in the heart of Wall Street.
What he was doing in South America isn’t known, nor what happened to Ruth. He remarried in May of 1928.
Did he divorce Ruth or had she died? Did she die during a misadventure in South America? Or is there something more sinister at work here? Murder?
People don’t just disappear. I intend on getting to the bottom of this.

Hey, Ted Cruz got it right. New York values suck.
So New York “values” Trump and Hillary? Little surprise there. Two egotistical, greedy, self-important nut jobs. How fitting.
New York ain’t the center of the universe, no matter what the Establishment types may think. New York City is just a big, overcrowded city. There’s lots of those.
And those “values” are liberal, very liberal, despite whatever the Trumpsters say now.
By the way, did I mention that I don’t think highly of New York and its big city?
