GOOD DAYS
Summertime is one of the existing reminders of those "Good Old Days"
in the article below. A few days--or even hours--spent in your
lounge chair or hammock, enjoying the outdoors, perhaps on vacation or
newly retired or just having a relaxing weekend can take away some of
the stress of modern times. We've made cars, computers, e-mail
and text-messaging, and phone calls such a part of our lives today that
communing with nature may seem boring and even a waste of time.
But if you close your eyes and listen to the summer sounds--or fix your
gaze on a cloud or a tree--you may see and hear things that you haven't
experienced since childhood (or, if you're young enough, maybe
never). Try it! And think of your ancestors as you
do. Many of the dreams they had have become reality today.
But you can still dream of tomorrow. Happy summer!

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Where are you now? On vacation in a seaside resort or camping in
the Desert? Or are you sitting on your front porch balancing your
laptop and a cool glass of lemonade? What better time for a piece
on "The Good Old Days" than when you have the leisure hours to think
about them? But wait! Just WHEN were the "good old days"
anyway? You don't have to answer us--but those who do usually
give us a picture of life as it was when they were children and the
world seemed like a better place than it is today. Of course, all
this depends on when they were born. For Granny that may have
been the "roaring twenties," while for us it was definitely the late
1940s and early 1950s. Tim's kids would agree on the
seventies. The oldest grandson would envision the nineties--and
some of the youngest little Selfs are living them right now!
We asked our own family members what they remembered most about "the
good old days." Here are some of the answers by generation:
GREAT
GRANDPARENTS:
"I remember when a soda pop cost a nickel. You sat up on a big
round stool in the Drug Store. The 'soda jerk' (he wasn't really
a jerk--he jerked the handle of the syrup and water dispensers) put a
cone-shaped piece of paper in a metal holder and added some
syrup. Then he put in carbonated water and stirred it up.
Even if he didn't stir it enough, it still tasted good."
"My Dad got up every morning and cranked the car to get it
started. We were the only family on our block that owned a car."
"Everything was fun. It was between Wars. Kids knew that
other kids, not much older than they were, had just lost their lives
for this country--so the theory was to party a lot since it might
happen again."
"Movies were just wonderful. I read every movie magazine I could
get my hands on. If I could scrape up a few pennies during the
week, I would go to the movies on Saturday afternoon. I'd sit
behind my brother and his girlfriend and tease them if they were
holding hands or (yuck!) kissing. Sometimes they would take me to
the Amusement Park after the movie, and we'd eat hot dogs and ice cream
until we had to catch the last trolley back home."
"Grandpa took me hunting and fishing as long as the weather was
good. You could pick anywhere there were woods or waters and
bring home a nice meal for supper. I was so proud when Mama
cooked up my first fish. Everyone at the table said it was the
very best fish they ever ate!"
"My mother made dolls for me out of old rags during the
Depression. I made my own dollhouse out of a cardboard box and
also my own doll furniture."
"Grandma's kitchen smelled so good! And then I would go down
cellar to Grandpa's workshop and smell the wood! I think my
childhood was made up of good smells."
GRANDPARENTS:
"I walked or rode my bike to school. I was taught never to go
with strangers, so I didn't, but then no one ever asked me to,
either. My bike had balloon tires, and you had to push backward
on the pedals in order to stop it. When I was nine, I got an
"English" bike with skinny tires and three speeds. I never
learned how to make the speed lever do any more than I could with my
feet, but the hand brakes were nice."
"We would come home from school, throw our books in the corner, and go
out to play ball in the vacant lot next door. Almost all the kids
on my street were the same age, give or take a year or two, so we
mostly got along okay. I went back to my old neighborhood last
year, and both my house and the vacant lot were gone. There must
be fifty families living there now in 2-bedroom condos. I wonder
if they ever hear the sound of kids playing ball when they can't sleep
late at night."
"I liked to buy scary comic books at the store. Just crossing the
highway to get there was scary enough. Mom wouldn't let me do
that alone until I was at least five years old. She told me that
those magazines would give me nightmares. They did, but I
wouldn't admit it. I gave them up when we got a TV. I think
I was seven. I was fascinated with everything, especially the
quiz shows. I used to write to some of the stars, and some wrote
back to me. I had an ongoing correspondence with one whose name
you would definitely recognize for years and finally met her in person
in 1965."
"My favorite thing was recess. We had a big, big grassy
playground. There were swings and seesaws and a big jungle gym
thing that you could climb and then walk with your hands hanging onto
this ladder thing--pretty advanced for that day. There was a
second playground behind the school. It was dirt. We played
softball and dodgeball there, and hopscotch. I could jump rope
really well. What I really hated, though, was when the boys would
shuffle along and wipe out our hopscotch. Girls had to wear
skirts to school. You could wear pants if it was really cold or
rainy, but they had to be under your skirt! I liked recess
because we could wear pants for an entire half hour before we had to
put our skirts back on in the girls' room."
"I had one of the very first transistor radios. It was great, but
you'd have to turn it different ways to get the various AM stations in
your area. The little triangle symbol for "Conelrad" at the end
of the dial was the only thing that scared me. I believed that
the Russians would probably bomb us any day."
PARENTS:
"I remember that all the kids around me started wearing weird clothes
and having strange hairstyles. All the guys had long hair and no
one called you a sissy for it. I was pretty little, and Mom and
Dad let my hair grow really long. I had curls in the first grade."
"The music was cool. In the seventies, Dad and I listened to the
same groups. I used to wonder what the 'generation gap' was all
about because as I grew older, Dad seemed to get younger."
"I liked going to the store with my Mom. This was about 1968
maybe. Ten dollars bought you a lot of stuff. Hamburger was
the cheapest for a family, just 48 cents a pound for a long time.
The same price for a half gallon of milk. A loaf of bread was a
quarter, and a decent steak cost under $1 total for maybe two
people. Once I saw a show on TV that was making fun of the
future. A woman was shopping in the market, and the checker was
charging her four dollars for a roast and two dollars for bread.
My Mom laughed so hard. She said, 'When bread gets to be a
dollar, that's when I quit buying it!"
"I was a 'latchkey' kid. My parents both worked so we could have
a big house in the suburbs. I figured I might as well get my
homework out of the way before they came home, but it was a
hassle. I tried to get dinner ready when I could. I spent a
lot of time making sure my younger brothers didn't get into trouble."
"When I was sixteen I got my license. Dad let me drive our older
car to school on Fridays. When I got a job after school, I saved
up and bought a car from the guy down the street. It cost me
$150, but it ran great."
TODAY'S
YOUNG PEOPLE (BORN 1980 to PRESENT):
"My grandpa taught me a lot about the outdoors. At home I read
about stuff like that in books. But he had lots of land and
showed me how to hunt game birds. He also knew about this
creek. I never figured out how fish got in there since it was
only full of water after it rained and maybe for awhile in the
spring. He taught me to drive his old truck from the seventies,
too. He let me drive down to the creek. I caught a lot of
snakes on his ranch. You had to know which were poisonous and
which were not. We looked for rocks and Indian arrowheads."
"You know how they tell you to be happy with what you have, not what
you want. I wanted this super-cool video game. Mom was at
home waiting for my little sister to be born, so we didn't have too
much money. One day after I had been pretty cranky, Dad showed me
his first computer. He got it brand new in 1985 to help write his
papers in school. It was so old that it didn't have a hard disk
or even a mouse. He said you got it to do things by typing words
or certain key combinations. Man, did my PlayStation and its old
games look good to me after that!"
"I remember when my grandfather took me to a car show last year.
Some guy had an old truck that was like almost 50 years old. It
was all rusty and rotted out. The guy was going to restore
it. Grandpa told me that his buddy's brother in high school had
the same truck, but it was new then! Amazing! He and his
buddy used to get rides home, and all the kids were jealous of them
riding in a new truck."
"Mommy got sick. Daddy said that if I did more of the chores
after school he would raise my allowance from $10 to $20 a week.
I said OK. He said I should save some of the money for when I go
to city college and need to buy books and stuff. I told him that
what I could save wouldn't buy even one book. He laughed and
said, guess that was so. He also told me that he once got a raise
in his allowance, just like mine. Only it was from 10 cents a
week to 20 cents. Yeah, right. I think he was telling me a
story my granddad told HIM."
"I used to have a lot of friends in school. But now we don't hang
out any more. I found out that my best friend was having sex with
my boyfriend and everybody knew it but me. And then I found two
of my other friends smoking dope in the bathroom. I walked in on
them, and boy were they surprised. They told me not to
tell. But I did anyway. I wrote an anonymous note to the
gym teacher. Hey, they could have offered me a joint, but they
were too selfish, so it serves them right!"
"A few months ago, we moved into a new apartment. It's bigger
than our old one. I share a room with one of my sisters while the
other two have the other bedroom. My parents sleep on the bed
that comes out of the couch. But there still isn't any yard to
play in. Some of my friends live in houses, but mostly they are
too expensive for families with kids. Ma says that their parents
are deeply in debt, they owe everyone and have maxed out their credit
cards. Ma and Pop say they don't owe anything but the regular
stuff like rent and food. I guess that's nice. But we do
without a lot. I would consider us very poor."
"We went to visit my grandparents in Lebanon. It took us four
hours to get through the airport, including baggage checks and passing
through security. I'm only twelve, but I was almost ashamed of my
destination. I'm Armenian, but I think the guards thought I had
something to do with Al Qaeda."
ANALYSIS:
As expected, all these memories focus on childhood or adolescence, and
those involved see themSelfs in many different ways. A child
today feels poor when, in reality, his family is actually doing pretty
well in terms of real dollars and would have been considered
comfortable in earlier times. A child mourns an elusive video
game until he realizes that earlier generations had no electronics, and
often had to make do with homemade toys. The "hot topic" in the
early sixties high school was a new truck. In today's world,
popularity may revolve around illegal drugs or alcohol. Intimacy
has been degraded, and sexual transgressions are the equivalent of
"taking another person to the prom" back in "our day."
Technology appears to be the one big issue that separates the
generations--and more recently, successive years of new
inventions. There have been many times we've turned on a movie
about World War II and wondered just how the Allies carried out their
strategies with such primitive equipment as propellor airplanes and
crank-up radios. Home movies from the 1950s reveal huge
television sets with tiny little screens squatting in most living
rooms, spewing out live performances in black and white. Viewing
anything from the sixties is almost like attending a perpetual costume
party. How did we make do without computers, mp3 players, pdas,
fuel injection, 20-speed bicycles, digital clocks, and credit cards?
Probably none of us would give up our electronic gadgets--except maybe
when we're frustrated trying to learn how to use them. But that's
exactly the conclusion we've come to. We love new things, fancy
things, things that make our work faster and better, things that allow
us to communicate with others and experience people, places, and ideas
that were once as far away as the Moon. What we DON'T love,
though, is the complexity they inject into our lives and the steep
learning curve required to get the most out of each item. And
this is true of all of the world as it is today, not just
technology. We want less crime, but we don't want more
laws. We want to be safe, but we don't want restrictions on our
freedom. We love our cars, but we resent seat belt laws, visits
to the DMV, and insurance increases. We'd like to own a nice
home, or a new vehicle, but we don't want to go through the hassle of
applications, being judged by strangers, and perhaps inevitable
disappointment based on someone else's standards. We love to
shop, but we sure hate those long checkout lines. And don't you
wish that things cost $10 instead of $9.99 and that you didn't have to
put that item back if you lacked the extra 7 pennies to pay the sales
tax.
SUMMARY:
So when were "The Good Old Days"? In our opinion, they were the
days when things were less complicated and relatively
hassle-free. We associate them with childhood because those were
the years when our job was to grow and learn and leave the world's
problems to the grownups in our lives. To us, at least, "The Good
Old Days" equal "The Simpler Days." If only we could enjoy our
world today without having to "pay" for them--we would perhaps find the
peace of our ancestors.

MINOR SELF LINES
part 15
by Barbara Peck and Tim Seawolf-Self
In 2003, we presented an article on the major unconnected Self
lines. Now we'd like to concentrate on the minor lines that are
still not connected to Olde Robert Selfe, even by "best
evidence." In this installment, we've included Self branches from
South Carolina. We hope to
feature more small family lines in the following newsletters.
TENNESSEE
UNKNOWN SELF: We don't
know where he came from, but he lived in Bledsoe County. He had
two children, Martha E. and David. In 1838, these children were
made wards of John R. Irwin--relationship unknown--who lived in
Marshall County, TN.
MARTHA JANE SELF: She was
married twice, first to Unknown Key. They had one daughter,
Josie. Otis, Nellie, and Elmer were her children by her second
husband, Green W. Williams. Who was she? And what happened
to her descendants?
ANDREW SELPH: Born 1845
in Crockett County, TN of TN parents. His wife's name was Sallie,
b. 1857 in TN. They had 4 children: Louis, William,
Florence, and James.
J. J. SELPH: J. J. Selph
was born 1848 in Crockett County, TN. He m. R. J., b. 1847, also
in TN. Their children were W. F. and Thomas. What do the
initials stand for?
ANDERSON SELPH: His
wife's name is given both as Sallie Bradshaw and Sally Jackson.
His parents may have been named Edgar P. and Florence (Brassfield)
Selph. Their son, Louis Edgar, lived to be over 100. Their
other son was named Leander. Both were born in Crockett County,
TN.
NOLIE SELF: Who was Nolie
Self, born Mar. 16, 1878 in DeKalb County, TN. "Nolie" may be a
nickname. We only know of one child, Ellen, born in 1900,
daughter by her husband, Columbus Payne (1874-1952).
JAMES A. SELF: Born in
Dyer County in 1850, James Self's parents were also from Tennessee, as
was his wife, M. T., b. 1853. Their son, Finis C. Self, was born
in 1875.
W. H. SELF: His wives
were L. F. and M. A. Sadly both known children died young in Dyer
County. Era Berton was only 13 months old when she passed away in
1885, and Nellie Otto lived just one month, from June to July
1897. W. H. was born in 1852 and died in 1927.
WILLOUGHBY SELF/SELPH: Our
greatest Tennessee mystery is Willoughby Self. Although he was
born in North Carolina (1810) and lived in Hot Springs County, AR at
the end of his life, he married wife Mary in Gibson County, TN and
lived there for quite some time--enough for us to associate his family
with this location. We have descendants for children John, Nancy,
and Lemuel. We have no further record of Mahala, Mark, Martha,
Mariah, and Susan. It's almost a given that he is descended from
the general Job Self line, but who were his parents? [It's possible
that this mystery may be unraveling, but we'd like to know what you
think]
MARK SELF/SELPH: Mark
Self is probably related to Willoughby, above--most likely his brother
since Willoughby named one of his sons Mark as well. This Mark
Self lived in Gibson County also. He had two children by first
wife, Millia Holder: James and Lucinda. By 1841, Millia had
probably died as he married his second wife, Ann M. Hays, at that time.
AMELIA ANN SELF: Amelia
may have been a much younger sister to both Willoughby and Mark.
Her husband was William L. Brambalow. Her children were Martha A.
and Nancy E. Martha spelled her surname Brumbalow.
JESSE E. BROWN SELF/SELPH:
It would seem that Jesse E. Brown Selph would tie in nicely with the
Willoughby Self family since he lived in Dyer County, but he
doesn't. On the other hand, he was supposedly born in Jefferson
County, AL in 1859 which would suggest the Isaac Self line, but that
doesn't seem to be true either. He is a big mystery
himSelf! It could be that we have him listed as just "Jesse"
somewhere, making the two names difficult to reconcile. He
probably had sisters named Fannie (Selph) Sharp and Tabitha (Selph)
Rawdon. His first two children were by an unknown wife:
Frank and Mary Letty. His last five children were by his second
wife, Amanda Lou Ann Keeling: George Washington, Myrtle Fannie,
Bessie Mae, Albert, and Hollis. We have one cousin actively
researching this line, but Jesse is her "brick wall."
OWENSBY H. SELF: Born in
KY and married 1839 in Lauderdale County, AL., Owensby Self lived in
Giles County, TN after 1839. His wife, Jane L. Howie, was from
Abbeville District, SC. Their children, born in Giles County,
TN., were Hepsibah, Rebecca, Mary Anne, John C., and Sarah F. The
last two children didn't survive very long. Mary Anne grew up and
married. What happened to Hepsibah and Rebecca, and what is their
paternal line?
JOHN A. SELF:
(1866-1927). He m. Sarah Eveline Livingston and resided in Greene
County. Four children were in this family: Will, Bertha, Ronald,
and Helen.
ROBERT SAMUEL HULL: Who
is this? He was born in 1847 in Greene County and d. there in
1925. His wife, Martha Matilda McAlister lived from 1848 to
1904. They had eight children. The third child (1875-1935)
was named Thomas Self Hull. Was it a blood relationship or a
friendship that yielded the middle name "Self"?
JOHN P. SELF: Nicknamed
"Jack," this individual lived in Hawkins County. He was born 1854
of TN parents. His wife, Cidney, was born there in 1862.
Their children were: Robert Lee, William, Edward, Fannie, Mary O.,
Bessie, and Ruthie.
JAMES P. SELF: This is an
interesting Self. He is said to have been born in 1856 and that
his father was French. His mother came from TN. Or was it
(more likely) the other way around. He married Ida A. Bell and
had three children, N. A., Octavie, and Angie May.
MINERVA SELF: Minerva has
been in our files for years. All we know about her is that she
married William Riley Caps in 1838, resided in Marshall County, and had
children named William R. and Francis. Yet we have never been
able to place her in any Self line.
JOHN M. SELF: The tangle
of John Selfs in our files is almost overwhelming. This John Self
married Eliza J. Clark in 1829 in Maury County, TN and lived in Fayette
County. Not only do we know nothing about his heritage, but we
also have never found out what happened to their children, Elizabeth
H., Lucinda, William W., Eliza M., James J., and John A.
JOHN SELF: A resident of
McMinn County, John Self was born in 1822 and married in 1849 to Mary
Ann McInturff, sometimes called "Nancy." We only know about one
child, gender unknown, who was born in 1849 and possibly died young.
SARAH JANE SELF: Another
rootless individual is Sarah Jane Self (1854 -
) who was born in Giles County, TN but married her husband, James Paul
William Daniel Luker in Panola County, TX. Daughters Jessie Mae,
Maud Irene, Jimmie Ruth, and Agnes, all born before the turn of the
20th century, are unaccounted for.
JAMES P. SELF: He lived
in Grainger County, TN. He was born in 1830, and his wife, Martha
C., was born in 1845. They had five children as of the 1880
Census, namely Florence, Corda, Sarah, Charles, and David E.
D. H. SELPH: D. H. Selph
and his wife, Lily, lived in Rutherford County with their two children,
Frank B. and E. who was 16 when he died in 1882.
THOMAS W. SELF: Born in
1852 of TN parents, Thomas W. Self married Alice Griffin in 1872.
In the 1880 Census, the family shows up in the household of T. C.
Hunter of Stewart County, relationship unknown, and with three
children, Florence L., Clarence A., and Marion A.
MARY ELIZABETH SELF: We
know that Mary Elizabeth Self was born Mar. 29, 1869 in Warren County,
TN and d. Jan. 21, 1945. Her husband, Isaac Denton Payne
Cantrell, was a native of DeKalb County where the family lived after
marriage. Their four children were Ora, Elisha C., John Hill, and
Marjorie L. Ora died young.
N. NAPOLEON SELF: This Self was
born in Sullivan County in 1869 and d. 1953 in Knox County. In
between, he and wife Susan(nah) H. Carson, lived in Washington County
where they had six children: Callie Mae, Maude, Ella Kate,
Charlie, Kathleen, and Evelyn.
WILLIAM HENRY SELF: Born
in 1863 and died in 1930, he lived in Weakly County. His wife,
Marthann Darnall, was from Calloway County, KY. They had 3
children whose names and lifespans are unknown, as well as John, Tommy,
Peter Nickolas, and Richard Ray.
CHARLES H. SELF: Also of
Weakly County, Charles Self was born in 1840 and his wife, Susan J.,
was born in 1945. Their three children were Robert F., Anna A.,
and John H.
FRANK BREMBRY SELPH: Who
was this person, born Feb. 27, 1889 in Wilson County, TN? He m.
Kathleen Penuel.
J. W. SELF: Don't you
just love initials? Especially in the Census? The 1880
Census for Wilson County shows J. W. Self, b. 1843 of Tennessee
parents, married to E. A., b. 1848 in TN and their children E. J., J.
M., W. S., J. D. Can you tell us more than the government did?
MARY SELF: Born 1822
somewhere in TN., she married William Edward Hughes of Dinwiddie
County, VA and went to Livingston County, KY. Their children
were: William (d. young), Washington, Peter, William, Isaac, and
Mary Jane.
ALLEN SELF: Born
1860. Married Mamie Boissian. Settled in Logan County, KY
and had the following children: Willie, Ethel, Daisey, Gobel, Arthur,
and Maud M.
JEFFERSON SELF: Another
transplant from somewhere in Tennessee. Born in 1864, he went to
Indian Territory by 1889, then to AR before 1900, and then back to
Indian Territory. Joseph, John, Eddie, and Fannie were born to
Jefferson and his wife, Melvina.
JOHN W. SELF: Born 1840
in TN, he was in Fort Worth, TX before 1887. His wife was named
Emily, b. in 1846. Their 4 children were Elizabeth, James, and
John, presumably born in TN and Robert, born in TX.
MARY FRANCES ("ROSE") SELF:
Wife of James Henry Woods of Pennsylvania, she was born 1835 in
TN. The family lived first in MO and then went to OK. Their
children's names were Margaret, Lewis, Charles, Cyrus, Austin,
Archaelus, Shirley, James, and Willie.
M. JACKSON SELF: He had
children Louisa, Rosa, and Wellington by wife, Amelia, b. 1847 in
NY. He was born 1835 in TN but later went to California.
DAVID H. SELF/SELPH:
David Self (or Selph) was born 1859 in TN. His first wife was
named Nancy, and his second wife was named Nannie. We're not sure
if his son, Elbert N., was born by his first wife in TN, but we know
that his two daughters by his second wife (Nina and Lola) were born in
OK.
WILLIAM D. SELPH: He also
went to OK by 1900 and lived in Payne County. But he was born in
TN in 1857 and married a woman, Mary T., also from TN. They had 2
known children, Harry and Ernest.
CARROLL SELF: Born 1844
in TN and married to Susan Coleman, also born in TN in 1848, he was in
Calloway County, KY by the age of 12. Their children were Samuel,
William, Martha, and Virginia.
WILLIAM T. SELF: William
Self was married twice. Born in 1854 in TN, he went first to
Crawford County, AR and then to Pottawatomie County, OK (Indian
Territory). By first wife, Rebecca C. Reed, he had children
Charles, Henry, and Dovie. By second wife, Martha Rosiene Criss,
he had children Joseph, Daniel, Martha, Birdie, George, and
Isaac. Who were William's parents?
THOMAS SELF: All we know
about this Self is that he had a daughter, Cordelia (1849-1922) who
married William H. Roberts and lived in Baxter County, AR. Their
child was Lois (1880-1966).
E. SELF: More informative
initials: He was born 1814 in TN and married someone whose first
name began with an M. Child "T" was born 1839 in IL and "J. D."
was born in 1860 in TX.
ELIZABETH SELF: She m.
Joseph McCorkel and had a daughter, Martha Frances, who m. Edwin Sidney
Rising.
