When Elise Marion Farrell was born on September 22, 1879, in Ansonia, Connecticut, her father, Franklin, was 51, and her mother, Lillian, was 26. She married George Augustus Goss on October 10, 1906, in Ansonia, Connecticut. She then married Earl Jackson E.J. McWhirter on May 14, 1919, in Seattle, Washington. She died on September 21, 1971, in King, Washington, at the age of 91.
1828 - Franklin Farrel, Elise's dad, was born.
FRANKLIN FARREL, manufacturer, achieved signal success in varied lines of industrial enterprise and was entitled to a prominent place in the ranks of successful men. He was born Feb. 17, 1828, in Waterbury, Conn. After earning the reputation of being one of the most expert founders and machinists in the country, and establishing several of the largest firms in Connecticut on a successful basis, Mr. Farrel turned his attention in other directions. He embarked in the sugar business in 1879, and from a small beginning has achieved notabls success. He selected capable and energetic associates, and wise co-operation and concerted effort have brought about fine results. The sugar estates are located in Cuba and Santo Domingo, and some idea of their proportions may be conveyed when it is said that three of these estates require in their operation over twenty-five miles of fixed railroad and furnish employment to over three thousand men. Another industry to which Mr. Farrel has directed his attention, and which has prospered under his direction, has been the manufacture of copper. He became identified with The Parrot Silver & Copper Co., of Butte City, Mont., and the first mine was worked in 1877. See Less

Instead of waiting for firemen to arrive, Elise climbed to a ladder as part of the fire brigade. Although she received burns and blisters, she went on to make a full recovery.
1904 - In June it was announced that Elise would leave her father's business because she was engaged to David Huyler Gaines. He graduated from Yale in 1896 and played on the football team. In the first week of June, shortly after their engagement, Elise and David went to Coney Island, New York. There, they rode the "Shoot the Chute" ride. While a boat was pulled up a large slope with a cable, the couple took an elevator to the top. There, they got into the boat along with other passengers and a crew member. Once the cable was released, the boat shot down the ramp and off of a slight curved jump at the bottom. The boat skipped along the water until it came to a stop. Unfortunately, their ride encountered a problem and both fell out of the boat and into the water.

At the time of the wedding, Elise's mother was ill, so the number of guests was limited to 50 relatives and intimate friends. The wedding happened at Tower Hall, the Farrel home and was performed by Bishop Woodcock, of Louisville, Kentucky, formerly of the Connecticut diocese.

If you're thinking of a family road trip up or down I-5, check out some of these ideas. As a Seattle area native who attended college in Bellingham, WA and has family in the San Francisco Bay area, I've driven the stretch between Canada and San Francisco several times. Now that we have little kids, I like to plan stops along the way. Sometimes it's for bathroom breaks, and other times it's to give the kids some space from each other, since road tripping with a sibling can be rough. For everyone in the car.
Some pro tips for the car setup:
When we travel up and down I-5, I plan to stop about every 3 hours or so, for bathroom and/or stretch breaks. These time estimates are rough estimates, as traffic and construction can add to the times. Below, I'll break out pit stop ideas by these segments:
Today, the boys and I returned to one of my favorite easy "hikes." I use quotes because it is just a flat and mostly paved walk around a pond. However, when you're looking for an easy adventure outside with beautiful scenery, easy space for social distancing 2020 style, and less than an hour from Seattle, Gold Creek Pond is nearly perfect.
Gold Creek Pond is beautiful year round. It's hard to believe that this pond was part of the staging ground for I-90 construction, as the site has been restored beautifully. Because it is only a 1 mile loop on mostly paved or crushed gravel trail, this is very accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, making it a wonderful family hike.
A couple of past trip reports to Gold Creek Pond, although we've been more times than I can remember:
When we left Redmond today, the weather was overcast with some sun breaks. Although the boys didn't want coats, much less gloves, I insisted on bringing them, because weather in the Pacific Northwest can change quickly.
One new aspect to adventuring in 2020 is we always bring masks, even when we hope to be far away from anyone else, just in case. Today, Tyler wanted to be a kitty.
As we drove up I-90 towards Snoqualmie Pass, the clouds got darker, and past North Bend it started raining. Since we haven't adventured very much during quarantine, I worried that the rain could make the boys miserable. However, I didn't convey any worry and hoped that snacks and gloves would take care of things.
When we pulled into the parking lot, it was pouring down rain, but thankfully the boys didn't seem to care. We put on coats, hats, and gloves, and they wanted to start racing as soon as the car doors closed. I was so thankful that their PNW roots are strong!
From the parking lot, we turned left on to the trail.
At the first fork in the road, we turned left again, because I think it's fun to start out with a view of the pond.
Before we got to the picnic area, we came across the little bridge over the little stream. I remembered that Jake and I brought Nanna here a couple of years ago, to see the autumn salmon run, so we took a peek at the stream. The boys were excited to see it absolutely full of fish! Tyler is a big Octonauts fan, so any aquatic animals are especially exciting for him.
When Jake and I used to go on adventures when he was little, he always loved caves, tunnels, and culverts. We used to spend a bunch of time, just the two of us, at this particular culvert at Gold Creek Pond, so we had to check it out. It was pouring down rain, but we didn't mind at all. It felt great to be outside!
After they had their fun scrambling on the rocks and watching the salmon, we continued on our way. The next stop: the bank of Gold Creek Pond! To me, the field just south of Gold Creek Pond has to be one of the most perfect picnic areas anywhere. The boys ran around and goofed around. Surprising, I know!
Eventually, we started on the trail to head clockwise around the pond. Under the trees, we could barely feel the rain, so the boys wanted to stop and jump around. There was a little slope downhill from the right side of the trail, so Jake wanted to take a crazy jumping picture, where it looks like he's falling, but really he was in control. It was unprompted, and I still don't know why, other than Jake loves to be silly and have fun. So, we stopped for a mini photo shoot to get the right picture.
Next, Tyler wanted to be filmed. He wanted to hold a toy and run towards the camera while yelling, "Action." I don't know why, but I was happy to oblige.
By stopping for a few minutes to take the pictures, the cold set in. Because both boys were wearing jeans instead of water-repellant pants, they wanted to turn around and head home. My bad. Although we didn't do the loop today, we had a bunch of fun running around together in the rain, so I call today a win!
I'm pretty much always up for a trip to Gold Creek Pond. If you're ever interested in meeting up, let me know! If you want to check it out on your own, here are some tips:
