title: Mary Hallock Foote

# Mary Hallock Foote

**Mary Hallock Foote** (1847–1938) was an American author and illustrator. She is best known for her illustrated short stories and novels portraying life in the mining communities of the turn-of-the-century American West.

## Biography

### Overview

Mary Hallock was born November 9, 1847, in Milton, New York, of English Quaker ancestry. A singular girl and youth, she attended the Female Collegiate Seminary in Poughkeepsie, New York, then studied art in New York City at the new Cooper Institute School of Design for Women. By her early twenties she had become established in New York City as an accomplished artist-illustrator for notable publishers there.

In 1876 Hallock married a young mining engineer, Arthur De Wint Foote, then moved cross-continent to live with him at the New Almaden mine near San Jose, California. Subsequently, as Arthur pursued his engineering career, she followed him throughout the West: to Leadville, Colorado; to Deadwood, South Dakota; then to Boise, Idaho, where Arthur originated a major irrigation project on the Boise River; then to Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico; and finally to Grass Valley, California, where Arthur advanced to managing the North Star mine, and retired there.

Arthur and Mary Foote were married nearly sixty years. In the early years of their marriage she gave birth to three children: a son, Arthur Burling Foote, and two daughters, Betty and Agnes.

### Career

As a student Mary Hallock Foote befriended American artist Helena de Kay Gilder. The two maintained a very close friendship throughout their lives, shared a lengthy correspondence via letter, and used each other for critiquing their work. Mary Hallock Foote also benefitted from Gilder's husband Richard Watson Gilder, who commissioned her art while he was an editor for Scribner's Monthly. It was through the Gilders that Mary Hallock Foote was also introduced to a circle of fellow artists including, Mary L. Stone, Mary Birney, Maria Oakey, and several popular writers.

After departing her beloved East with great reluctance, Mary Hallock Foote found herself inspired by the "real West" country and the varying peoples she encountered there. She soon was drawing it, and writing and telling about it. Recording her travels, Foote wrote stories for 'back-East' readers as a correspondent to *The Century Magazine* and other periodicals, illustrating them with wood engravings made from her drawings. She wrote several novels and is best known for her stories of place, in which she portrayed the rough, picturesque life she experienced and observed in the old West, especially that in the early mining towns.

She was one of America's best-known women illustrators in the 1870s and 1880s. She illustrated stories and novels by other authors including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Louisa May Alcott, Bret Harte, and others. Foote exhibited her work at The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.

Mary Foote gained renown as a welcoming and sophisticated hostess to dignitaries and celebrities traveling through the environs of her (successive) homesteads in the West. After 1905, when she and her husband built North Star House (also known as Foote Mansion) and made permanent settlement in Grass Valley, California, she presided for some 30 years over many historic social and civic events there.

After her death, Foote fell into obscurity. Thirty-four years after her death, historian Rodman Paul's 1972 edition of Foote's unpublished memoir, *A Victorian Gentlewoman in the Far West*, helped to spur renewed interest in her life and work. However, her letters—which provide what amounts to a biography of her husband as well as her own autobiography—have never been published except as brief excerpts in various areas of research.

### Death and legacy

Mary Hallock Foote died June 25, 1938, at age 90. Her legacy in American history is as a stalwart of the American Old West and a teller of its stories. Her work—the numerous stories for books and periodicals, with her drawings and woodcut illustrations; the correspondence from western outposts; her novels and nonfiction—gained her notice as a skilled observer of the frontier and an accomplished writer. Her life expressed the civilizing influence of the educated eastern gentlewoman on life in the chaotic mining and "ditch" camps (irrigation-project construction camps) of the early American West and, conversely, the stimulating effect of those "old West" environs on the prepared mind, that is, one educated for illustrating and telling the story.

### Controversy

Wallace Stegner's novel *Angle of Repose* (Pulitzer Prize, 1972) is based directly upon Mary Hallock Foote's extensive personal correspondence. Stegner used the outline of her life ostensibly with permission from members of Foote's family—on proviso that he disguise the source, which, in his judgment, he did. After publication, however, some descendants objected to "the great liberties" taken by Stegner in using Foote's story. On the opposite hand, Stegner used passages taken directly from Foote's letters and her reminiscences without providing specific credit; this resulted in controversy that still today haunts his reputation within the literary community.

Andrew Imbrie wrote an opera based upon Stegner's novel, which was performed in San Francisco in 1976. A collection of prints by Foote is on permanent exhibit at the Boise Public Library.

# P. B. Young

**Plummer Bernard Young Sr.** (July 27, 1884 – October 9, 1962), better known as **P. B. Young** was a newspaper editor, publisher, community leader, and founder of the *Norfolk Journal and Guide*. He was African American.

## Early life and education

Plummer Bernard Young was born July 27, 1884, in Littleton, North Carolina. His father, Winfield Young, was born into slavery in 1848 in Halifax County, but learned to read and write under the tutelage of his master's wife. Between 1870 and 1880, Winfield and his young wife, Sallie Adams, moved from Halifax County into Littleton proper, where he ran a dry goods store. The Young family (Plummer had four older siblings) attended two black churches in Littleton: first Enon Baptist Church and later St. Anna's Episcopal Church, the church of Plummer's childhood. Plummer attended the elementary and secondary grades at Reedy Creek Academy, a Baptist-run private school set up to educate black children. In addition, Winfield tutored his son at the store when business was quiet.

In May 1884, Winfield Young founded the *True Reformer*, a weekly newspaper of Littleton. According to biographer Henry Lewis Suggs, Plummer "credited much of his learning to the *True Reformer* and to his employment as an errand boy for a local white daily."

In 1900, Plummer began receiving higher education at St. Augustine's University in Raleigh, North Carolina. In September 1902 he started classes in the normal department. The following year he was a student in the print shop, which he went on to supervise between 1904 and 1906. During this time, he continued to take classes, like math and history, part-time in the normal department.

While at St. Augustine's, Young met Eleanor Louise White, a preparatory department teacher. Eleanor, the adopted daughter of the college president, graduated from St. Augustine's in 1906, at which time she and Young married. The couple returned to Littleton, where their first son, Plummer Bernard Jr., was born in February 1907.

## Career

In June 1907, Young moved his family from Littleton, North Carolina, to Norfolk, Virginia, where he had accepted a job offer as a plant foreman for the *Lodge Journal and Guide*. Young's first order of business was to compel the *Guide's* owners, the Supreme Lodge Knights of Gideon, to replace their flat-bed, manual press with a slightly more modern, drum-cylinder power press. This, along with other small operational and editorial improvements, helped the weekly's circulation grow from 600 to 1,000 copies by the end of the year.

In 1909, after the resignation of editor J. Henry Cromwell, Young volunteered for and was given editorship of the *Guide*. The 24-year-old Young assumed editorial duties in addition to those of foreman. By 1910, the Gideons decided to sell the business, which Young purchased for $3,050. He made his brother Henry Cheatham a partner and plant foreman. In 1911, the business was granted a charter, with Young as president, Eleanor as treasurer, and Henry as secretary. Young changed the official name of the paper from the *Lodge Journal and Guide* to the *Norfolk Journal and Guide*. In December 1913, the *Guide* suffered a heavy loss, including its archive, when its Church Street plant was heavily damaged by fire. Operations moved twice between then and January 1917. By the end of 1919, the paper had grown to eight pages and circulation reached 4000. In addition to Young's wife and brother, the *Guide* also employed his sons Thomas and P. B. Jr. and his father, Winfield. Per biographer, Suggs, "The *Guide*, in short, was a family business."

## Death and legacy

Plummer Bernard Young Sr. died October 9, 1962, in Norfolk General Hospital, Norfolk, Virginia. Eleanor White Young had died in 1946 and Plummer remarried in 1950 to Josephine Tucker Moseley. Plummer was survived by Josephine and by his sons, P. B. Jr. and Thomas W. Young. At the time, P. B. Jr. was editor-in-chief of the *Guide* and Thomas was president and general manager of the Guide Publishing Company.

Two days after his death, the editorial board of The Virginian-Pilot featured a tribute to Young calling him a newspaper publisher of "stability, courage, and persistence in seeking the betterment of the Negro minority for which he spoke, and a competence of craftsmanship that won him the respect of all newspapermen who read his newspaper."

In addition to receiving honorary degrees from many historically black colleges and universities, Young also served on the board of trustees of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia; St. Paul's College, Lawrenceville, Virginia; Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, North Carolina; and Howard University, Washington, D.C.. Young was also chairman of the Howard University board for six years.

## Honors and awards

In 1995, the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources erected a historical marker on U.S. Route 158 in Littleton, North Carolina, to commemorate Young's life and achievements.

# Proctor, Minnesota

**Proctor** is a city in Saint Louis County, Minnesota, United States. Established in 1894, the town was named after former Kentucky Governor J. Proctor Knott. It is part of the Duluth Metropolitan Area. The population was 3,120 at the 2020 census.

## History

The city was established as *Proctorknott* in 1894, with the name coming from former Kentucky Governor J. Proctor Knott. Knott was famous for delivering the speech *The Untold Delights of Duluth* to the U.S. House of Representatives. The city's name was shortened to Proctor in 1904.

## Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 3.00 square miles (7.77 km2), all land.

Proctor is adjacent to Duluth's Bayview Heights neighborhood, with which it forms something of a contiguous community unit due to Bayview Heights' topographical separation (the hill) from adjacent West Duluth. It is bounded by the city of Hermantown to the north, Midway Township to the west, Bayview Heights to the east, and a mostly undeveloped area of Duluth (officially in the Riverside neighborhood) to the south.

Kingsbury Creek flows through the central Proctor. Knowlton Creek flows through the southeast Proctor.

# Women medical practitioners in Early Modern Europe

Early Modern Europe marked a period of transition within the medical world. Universities for doctors were becoming more common and standardized training was becoming a requirement. During this time, a few universities were beginning to train women as midwives, but rhetoric against women healers was increasing. The literature against women in medicine started in the 13th century, and the Early Modern period gave way to a widespread call for licensing and proper training for midwives, which was largely unavailable.

Within family households, however, women continued heal, as seen in the recipe books many women kept and passed down from generation to generation. Women "were brought up to know how to make medicines and how to use them." The roots of medicine within Europe largely originated from women and their knowledge.

Women medical practitioners were both paid and unpaid. Women were healers whether compensated or not, but harder to separate into specialties as with male healers, because women had no formal guilds. This has resulted in some confusion about what women's roles actually were when it came to medicine.

### Midwives

Midwifery's move was relatively recent to medical standards of practice. In the 16th century, university training became a norm for male physicians and increasing worry started to permeate throughout Europe concerning midwives and their training. Men did not rival midwives in childbirth care until midwives' training was questioned. It would take four centuries for men to be the majority in childbirth.

Supporters of licensing midwives said was that midwives learned the trade of childbirth through trial and error. As well, midwives were consistently accused of practicing witchcraft. Throughout Europe, midwifery and witchcraft had strong ties. Reasons for those ties included midwives' use of empiricism. This, along with their use of herbs and mixtures, including the highly toxic belladonna, made them a target of the church and claims of witchcraft. Women knew that ergot helped in labor and that certain herbs such as pennyroyal or savin "forced the courses", or in simpler terms, caused abortions. Distrust grew of midwives, especially among middle and upper classes.

Despite increasing backlash, midwives continued to play an important role within communities. Countries such as Spain, Italy, and Holland opened schools for midwives. But these were unaccessible for many women, so apprenticeships continued to play an important role. In France, King Louis XV, concerned about the infant mortality rate combined with the deaths of soldiers in the Seven Years' War, commissioned Angélique du Coudray to travel throughout the country and train both men and women in proper labor and childbirth care in the 18th century. Another important French midwife was Marie Anne Victoire Gillain Boivin, who advocated for formal midwifery training, and in addition, "invented a new pelvimeter and a vaginal speculum and was the first to listen to a fetal heart using a stethoscope." In England, efforts to train midwives differed. There was not much literature written on the subject and the works that were accessible in English were often translated and carried a negative connotation. It was not until 1671 that a woman midwife, Jane Sharp, authored a book about midwifery, entitled *The Midwives Book*. In it, she encouraged women to continue to being midwives, as they were in other cultures, which was in response to more man-midwives entering the field.

Increased pressure put on midwives and their defense, also put midwives in a negative light. One work described them as "shy and sulky", arrogant, superstitious, and that they rushed mothers in delivery.

### Healers

Throughout European history, women were taught knowledge of healing, most often from childhood. When medicine as a profession in 13th century Europe, women healers started to be pushed from view. Licenses began to be required to practice medicine, but even so, this was only enforced for some clienteles. Literate women who often shared clients with trained physicians were the most targeted group for these checks.

While literate women were often targeted for lacking a license, poor women who were the most vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft, due in part, to the trust that women, also named "witch-healers", had in their ability to heal. The church disliked that women healers relied heavily on their intuition and that they trusted that new cures could be discovered.

Those cures consisted of different herbal preparations. They looked at herbs and plants for their medical potential and also for the symbolic factor. Different plants carried different meanings. For example, violets symbolized humility and columbine stood for perseverance and steadfastness. There were also women who were alchemists. One such woman, as recorded by Lady Anne Clifford, was her mother who "was a lover of the study of medicine and the practice of Alchimy. She prepared excellent medicines that did much good to many." Anne would go on to use these same preparations in her own family. She was not the only woman who practiced alchemy. Many women would prepare and study medicine and prepare it on a larger scale.

Many women were healers within the home. Healing was seen as a "continuum from domestic caring". Along with healing being universal, so was knowledge of medicinal plants and herbs. Usually, this knowledge was passed throughout a community through word of mouth and also intergenerationally.

### Recipe books

Recipe books were often used to keep track of herbal remedies. These recipe books (also referred to as receipt books) were "highly collaborative, handwritten domestic manuals that included a combination of culinary recipes, medical remedies, and household tips." These recipes were sometimes passed down through generations and continually added to. These cookbooks, in the medieval time period and leading into early modern, were written with a backdrop of famine and failed harvests. As agricultural knowledge developed, recipe books followed it by including more recipes with the "life-saving" vegetables such as carrots that were being turned to. Recipes came from a variety of methods, including personal trial and error. But often, these recipes came from neighbors and others in the community. Some scholars conclude that women's process of finding medical cures influenced the development of science. In fact, herbals, which were books containing knowledge of herbs, had less botanical information than these recipe books did. The recipes themselves followed traditional Galenic medicine, which depended upon the four humors: black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. Although women are known to be the main keepers of these books, male Physicians also participated. In the cookbook of Sir Hans Sloane, multiple recipes were passed down to him from his mother and grandmother.

# Mary Hallaren

**Mary Agnes Hallaren** (May 4, 1907  February 13, 2005) was an American soldier and the third director of the Women's Army Corps (WAC) at the time that it became a part of the United States Army. As the director of the WAC, she was the first woman to *officially* join the U.S. Army.

## Early life

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, the daughter of John Joseph Hallaren and Mary Kenney Hallaren. She graduated in 1925 from Lowell High School and attended Boston University and graduated from Lowell State Teachers College (now University of Massachusetts Lowell). She taught junior high school for 15 years in Lexington, Massachusetts, spending her summers on vigorous walking tours, which she called vagabonding throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Europe.

## Career

In 1942 Hallaren entered the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, which later became the WAC. A recruiter asked the diminutive Hallaren (she barely stood five feet tall), how someone of her size could help the military. She replied, "You don't have to be six feet tall to have a brain that works."

In 1943, as a captain, she commanded the first women's battalion to go overseas. She served as director of WAC personnel attached to the 8th and 9th Air Forces, and by 1945, as a lieutenant colonel, she commanded all WAC personnel in the European theater.

On 7 May 1947, Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson promoted Hallaren to full colonel and appointed her the third director of the WAC. On June 12, 1948, when the WAC was officially integrated into the Army, she became the first woman to serve as a regular Army officer (there had been female members of the Army Medical Corps since 1947). She received Army serial number L–1.

By the end of 1952, Hallaren had completed almost six years as director of the WAC. She had led the effort to obtain Regular Army and Reserve status for WACs. She had directed the procedures for assimilating WACs into the regular and reserve components between 1948 and 1950; supervised the revival of WAC recruiting and the opening of the WAC Training Center; and led the Corps through most of the Korean War. After leaving the directorship, she served on active duty for another seven years before retiring in 1960 at age 53. She was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and the Army Commendation Medal. She served in the United States Department of Labor as director of the Women in Community Service division. She retired in 1978 but continued to serve in an advisory capacity.

## Later life

In the 1990s, she was a leading proponent of the Women In Military Service For America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, which was dedicated in 1997. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1996 and was featured by Tom Brokaw in his book *The Greatest Generation*.

She died at the Arleigh Burke Pavilion, an assisted living facility for retired military personnel in McLean, Virginia. She is buried in Saint Patrick Cemetery in Lowell, Massachusetts.

title: Ohio State Route 734

abstract: State Route 734 is a state highway in Greene and Fayette Counties in central Ohio. The 16.57-mile-long (26.67 km) route runs from SR 72 in downtown Jamestown east to SR 38 near Jeffersonville and Bloomingburg.

# Ohio State Route 734

**State Route 734** (**SR 734**) is a state highway in Greene and Fayette Counties in central Ohio. The 16.57-mile-long (26.67 km) route runs from SR 72 in downtown Jamestown east to SR 38 near Jeffersonville and Bloomingburg.

## Route description

The state route begins at a signalized intersection in Jamestown where Washington Street and Limestone Street (SR 72) intersect. SR 734 heads east out of town and begins to climb a small hill. About halfway up the hill, the route makes a left turn, old US 35 continues straight. Passing through farmlands and small clusters of residences, the route passes over a freeway carrying US 35; no interchange is present at this overpass. After crossing into Fayette County, the route heads east through flat farmlands with occasional homes and bridges over small streams. Upon entering Jeffersonville, the route name carries High Street into the downtown area of the village. At an intersection with Main Street, SR 734 turns right and forms a concurrency with State Routes 41 and 729. Main Street, carrying the three routes, heads southeast, but the road curves to due east and becomes known as State Street. SR 729 breaks away and heads south at South Street but Routes 41 and 734 continue east towards the eastern extents of town. After having a grade crossing with an Indiana and Ohio Railway railroad, the routes pass two industrial facilities and some commercial businesses as they approach I-71's exit 69. The interchange with the Interstate highway is a simple diamond-interchange allowing for full-access between the surface roads and the freeway. Shortly after the interchange, SR 734 turns left off of SR 41 which continues south towards Washington Court House ending the concurrency. For the last segment of the route, the route travels through sparsely-populated farmland and ends in rural Paint Township at SR 38.

## History

SR 734 was first designated in 1937 on an alignment between then-SR 70 (now SR 41) east of Jeffersonville and its present eastern terminus at SR 38. Within two years, the route was extended to the Jamestown area at US 35 and became fully asphalt-paved. The route would remain on this alignment until 2003 when it was extended over the former US 35 into downtown Jamestown when US 35 was routed on a nearby freeway the same year.

# Wometco Home Theater

**Wometco Home Theater** (WHT) was an early pay television service in the New York City area that was owned by Miami-based Wometco Enterprises, which owned several major network affiliates in mid-sized media markets and its flagship WTVJ in Miami (then a CBS affiliate on channel 4, now an NBC owned-and-operated station on channel 6). The signals were broadcast beginning in August 1977 on WWHT-TV (channel 68) and later on WSNL-TV (channel 67) out of Smithtown, New York.

## Overview

Initially subscribers paid $15 for a set-top descrambling box that allowed subscribers to view channel 68's scrambled television signals (a later addressable, 2-channel version of this descrambler was developed under vice president of engineering, Alex MacDonald). The service was similar to Home Box Office (HBO), but a Wometco executive told *The New York Times* that WHT was more likely to select films with a particular interest to the New York City area. Wometco also targeted areas that were not yet served by cable television (although parts of Manhattan had cable television service as early as 1971, the vast majority of the five boroughs of New York City would not begin receiving cable television service until 1988).

Programming consisted of 12 features a month, including movies and entertainment specials. In addition, select home games of the NHL's New York Islanders were broadcast live from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Each program was repeated five times during the month. During the daytime, WWHT was a small commercial television station. The station was originally going to be a general entertainment station with shows that independents WNEW-TV (channel 5), WOR-TV (channel 9) and WPIX (channel 11) passed on. However, the costs were too high to acquire such programs so the station broadcast only a couple hours of low budget syndicated shows, *The Uncle Floyd Show*, public affairs programs, religious programs, stock market reports, and minority-interest and foreign language programs. In 1980, WHT began programming a movie from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. as well, later adding the adult-themed late night service "Nightcap" with its black cat logo.

In the fall of 1980, Wometco Enterprises brought in a new management team. The team consisted of Harold Brownstein as the new president and Robert Borders as vice president of marketing, both of whom had previously worked together at a major BTB direct marketing company. Having operated at $1 million plus loss for over four years, this team turned the operation profitable within 18 months. This was accomplished by consolidating numerous satellite offices/functions into the company's headquarters in Fairfield, New Jersey; producing a bi-monthly program guide (instead of monthly), significantly reducing printing and postage costs; and implementing direct response marketing concepts into the company's multimillion-dollar local television ads, so that the company could determine which markets and promotions generated sales, instead of just awareness.

WHT also employed an MATV division in an effort to expand their viewership by partnering with the real estate community to provide the service to buildings and apartment complexes, using a facility's pre-existing master antenna system.

In the spring of 1983, WHT also began operating 20 hours a day (increasing its subscription rate to $21/month), with only two hours a day of religious and public affairs shows seen on WWHT. Uncle Floyd moved off Channel 68 and onto NJN. However, the station marketed WHT as 24 hours a day, and the two hours of religious and public affairs shows were positioned as part of WHT's lineup. This block of programming was also unscrambled. Also, another two hours of children's shows were marketed as part of WHT, but also unscrambled. It was at this time that Wometco Home Theater and Wometco Enterprises were sold to the private investment firm of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.

By 1984, Wometco Home Theater had ceased its own programming and began carrying programs from California-based pay television service SelecTV. Finally, after losing more and more subscribers over the next two years, WHT ceased operations in March 1986. WSNL and WWHT then switched to an all-music format named "U68", similar to MTV, which lasted for about 8 months before both stations were purchased by an affiliate company of the Home Shopping Network. The stations are now owned-and-operated stations of the Spanish-language network UniMás.

# Old Ningo

**Old Ningo** is a town in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.

## History

Also known as Great Ningo, the inhabitants have always been a fishing and farming community. They form part of the Ga-Adangbe people. The name Ningo has a much more widely known and accepted history as derived from the Ga–Dangme words *nu* meaning water and *ngoo* meaning salt. However, there is compelling evidence pointing to a more interesting naming origin. The *Encyclopædia Metropolitana*, published in 1817, has this entry: "Ningo, near which the second Danish castle, Friedensburg, is placed, is 43 miles from Akra. In Krob6, or Krepe, a large Negro State behind it, there is a very high mountain about 20 or 25 miles distant from the sea, and capped with snow." This provides evidence of a voyager's inspired choice of name, since Ningo in Latin means snow, and the mariners would have seen the mountain in the backdrop of the native settlers and named the place Ningo. Many other early writings and references about Ningo also used the term "Ningo Grande" – *grande* translates from Latin as large or great. The name Great Ningo naturally followed. The people of Ningo refer to themselves as "Nugoli", meaning "People of Nugo" (Nugo being a more locally accepted pronunciation of the name Ningo), and are proud to associate themselves with the name Great Ningo. The history of the people of Ningo is closely linked to that of the Ga-Dangme people.

## Aboriginal name of Ningo

The original name for the people of Ningo is **Lasibi**. This is part of the eight groups of people who are identified as Dangme State: Adaa, Nugo, Gbugbla, Kpom, SƐ, Yilô-Klo, Manya-Klo and Osudoku; anglicised as: Ada, Ningo, Prampram, Kpone, Shai, Yilo Krobo, Manya Krobo and Osudoku respectively.

## Fort Fredensborg

The Danish were the first European settlers here, establishing Fort Fredensborg in 1734. The town was developed as a slave-trading station as part of Danish Guinea. However, with the abolition of the slave trade the town dwindled in size, with the fort staffed by a single person. The fort was already in ruins when the British took over on 8 March 1850 and incorporated the town into the Gold Coast. Christian Glob Dorf was Commandant from 21 June 1740 to 25 May 1743.
