1222	BIOGRAPHY: [3991.ftw] [Brderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3991, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998] Madorah Smith (1884- ? ) was the first child of John Nicolas BailhacheSmith (1854-1910) and Fannie Madorah Strong (1858-1948), and she was born in Shanghai, China. Her parents were missionaries there at that time and for some time afterward. Madorah has written a beautiful biographical sketch about her youth in China, and I will not a ttempt to reproduce it here because of it's length. It would also be unfair to abbreviate it so that it would fit, so I will simply state that if you want to learn about that portion of Madorah's life, locate her sketch in a document prepared by Mary LouiseSmith (Ormsby) which contains input from nearly all the children of Johnand Fannie. After the family returned to the US from China, and the children were growing up, Madorah was granted a scholarship in 1902 at Fargo College, a Congregational school located in Fargo, North Dakota. She graduated from that school in 1907, and when her father moved to Mt. Vernon , Iowa, she taught in rural schools in Iowa and Minnesota. After John, Madorah's father, died in 1910, Madorah took a position teaching in Walnut, North Carolina for a year. A friend offered Madorah a chance to go to China under the auspices of the Methodist Missionary Board, and since Madorah had been rejected in her bid to do the same thing for the Presbyterian Missionary Board, she decided to accept the offer. She arrived in Shanghai, supposedly on her way to West China, but since military conditions were unfavorable, she spent the first year of her stay on the East Coast of China. She arrived in Chunking in January,1913, where she was appointed to Cheng tu. She reached Cheng tu in late February, 1913, and remained there teaching in the school until early1917, when she returned to the US Madorah went to Iowa State University to study for her MA, and she gained that degree in 1918 . She taught in Colorado for the next three years,then returned to Iowa State for further study. She attained her PHD from Iowa State in 1925, then remained in Iowa City teaching for about two years. Madorah heard of an opening at the Normal School in Honolulu while she was in Iowa City, and decided to make application for the position. She was accepted for the position, and in 1927 she moved to Honolulu. Four years later the Normal School was absorbed into the University, and Madorah was one of the few selected to go with the school. She remained there, teaching Psychology and Education courses until her age and WorldWar II forced her to retire in 1943, and temporarily leave the islands. She returned to Hawaii after the end of World War II, and lived the remainder of her life among the many friends she had made, and in the paradise she loved so well. [phelps.FTW] so well.

1223	BIOGRAPHY: [3991.ftw] [Brderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3991, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998] Addison Kellogg Strong (1823-1895) was a clergyman, and he was born at Aurora, N.Y. He serve d in the Civil War as Chaplain for a short time. He married, as his second wife, Janett Elder (1827-1912) who was a daughter of William Elder Jr. and Abigail Mack. William's mother was Sarah Campbell, daughter of Robert Campbell and Deborah Norwood. Robert, a mariner, is presumed to have migrated to this country from Scotland by way of Ireland, in the early 1700s. [phelps.FTW]	Strong, Addison Kellogg (I14124)
1224	BIOGRAPHY: [3991.ftw] [Brderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3991, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998] Fannie Madorah Strong (1858-1948) was the sixth child of Addison Strong and his wife Madorah Janett Elder, and she was born in Monroe, Michigan. No doubt her early interest in foreign mission work was largely due to her Aunt Corinth (sister of her mother's, and widow of Azariah Smith, a former missionary to Turkey) who made her home with them for some time. From Fannie's brief autobiography, we find that as a small child her favorite play was teaching. Fannie taught a country school in the spring of 1882, and enjoyed "boarding around". In September, 1882, she sailed for China, arriving in Shanghai. From there on a small steamer toTientsin, from there up river in a native houseboat, and the last twelve miles in a jinrikish a to Peking, her destination which she reached in November. The next four years were spent in teaching at the girl's boarding school. When she passed through Shanghai on her way to Peking, she met John Nicolas Bailhache Smith, and spent much of the ten days she was inShanghai in his company. The two of them correspond d after she left Shanghai, and in 1884, John made a trip to Peking, ostensibly on missionary business, but in reality it appears he wanted to see Fannie again. He proposed marriage to her either at their meeting in Peking, or soon afterward in the mail, and she accepted his proposal in September of 1884. They established a date for the marriage of March 12, 1885, but weather delayed John's trip from Shanghai so the wedding was performed on March 14, 1885. Fannie immediately took up some of the duties for which John was responsible, and she seemed to enjoy it very much. The two of them produced six children at Shanghai, and two more after moving on to Ningpo. They made one furlough trip back to the United States in mid 1890, with the six children they had at that time. They returned to Shanghai in September, 1891, a little over a year later, and resumed the missionary work. During the years the family was in China, there were always servants to perform the menial housekeeping tasks, do much of the shopping, and prepare most of the meals. There was also an "A mah" to care for the youngest of the children, and at least one guard at the entrance to the compound to keep unwanted persons outside. In 1899, the Boxer Rebellion was in full swing, and most non Chinese people were looked upon with suspicion, and were at some risk of injury or even death in some parts of China. For that reason, and perhaps other reasons too, John decided that it would be best if the family left China, so he submitted his resignation at the annual meeting in Shanghai that year. The resignation was accepted, and the family soon left for theUnited States. The family toured about, visiting various relatives and friends for awhile, and then settled in Carlinville, Illinois, the home of Blackburn University which is the institution from which John had graduated some years before. Eventually, John gained a church calling in Courtenay, North Dakota, and so in November, 1901 , the family moved again. The church was very small, as was the town, and housing was a problem for such a large family as the Smiths were. Over the next several years, John moved the family from one small town to another as he was transferred from one church (or rather series of churches, since each of his postings included at least one other, sometimes three other churches) to another. The family lived in Illinois, several towns in North Dakota, and finally Volga City, Iowa. John died in March, 1910, presumably as a result of an illness following an accident he had with the horses and buggy he used for travel from one church to another. The remaining members of the family moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa where Fannie found work at the Sunshine Mission, where she continued to work for many years following the move. Fannie died in 1948.

1225	BIOGRAPHY: [3991.ftw] [Brderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3991, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998] John Nicolas Bailhache Smith (1854-1910) as a small boy Nicolas had the habit of running away . At one time when a sister had been sent to bring him home, and while the whipping by his mother was being administered, she exclaimed, "Goody, goody, Nic's getting whipped!" But her joy did not last long, for she also received a whipping for gloating over Nic's punishment. A direct quote, "I believe the last time I ran away was when I was about eleven or twelve years old. I was away playing with Charley Wilson, a boy about my age, and father wanted me to go with him to a barn raising, but could not find me, and so I missed seeing it; and I never had another chance to see a barn raising. I remember a few days afterg oing by the barn with father , "Oh there, Papa, " I said, "I see the barn." "Yes," he said, "but you did not see us raise it." So you see what I lost by running away." Nic was handy with tools and made many of his toys, including sleds,cart sand wagons. His first wagon was made with spools for wheels when he was about seven years old. One of the wagon she made was an imitation of a farm wagon. He cut a set of letters for printing the alphabet with one of the numerous pocket knives he had. Nicolas attended only country schools, starting at the age of five years, before his college days. He must have had good teachers, for he had an excellent scholastic record at college. Nicolas attended Blackburn University, where he graduated on June10th,1875 with the A B degree. His marks at Blackburn were almost all 10.0, the highest mark, and only once did he fall below 9.0. That was in Deportment. It is likely that the reason for that relatively low grade was because of his share in a prank of which he talked in later years, when a cow was put into a belfry. The low mark due to so serious delinquency would have had a serious effect on his eventual graduation and the letters of recommendation he received from various members of the faculty, had it not been for his otherwise unblemished record as a student. Nic's college education was before the days of intercollegiate athletics, but he played football (rugby type) and competed in the hop, skip and jump. He was quite active in a literary society, holding an office. His graduating class consisted of three girls and twelve men. Each of the girls read an essay and the men delivered orations. Nicolas' oration was "Our National Duty". When he graduated, he applied for a position at Bunker Hill Academy, but not securing it, he worked as a colporteur for the Presbyterian Board of Publications during the winter of 1875-76. He worked as a surveyor at one time, perhaps the next year, to earn money for his theological training, for although he was received under the careof Alton Presbytery, as a candidate for the Ministry on October 23, 1875, he did not go to the Seminary until 1877. He graduated in 1880. While at the seminary, he preached at nearby towns and began his work at Elmwood, Ill. A church was organized there and he was it's first minister. He was ordained a foreign missionary on October 20, 1880, but continued at Elmwood until April, 1881. It was not until August, 1881 that he sailed for China. Probably the interim was spent in visiting his relatrives, particularly his immediate family who had moved to Colorado, with the exception of his eldest sister , Rebecca, who had married and was living in Illinois. Nicolas arrived in Shanghai on October 6, 1881, and went to the Presbyterian Mission there immediately. He was stationed with a Dr.Farnham at the South Gate of the native city, and was charged with helping Dr. Farnham in his duties there. During the early part of his stay in Shanghai, Nicolas learned the language spoken there so that he could communicate with the people who lived in the area.

But her jo y didnot last long, for she also received a whipping for gloating over Nic'spunishment. A di rect quote, "I believe the last time I ran away was whenI was about eleven or twelve years ol d. I was away playing with CharleyWilson, a boy about my age, and father wanted me to go wit h him to a barnraising, but could not find me, and so I missed seeing it; and I neverhad ano ther chance to see a barn raising. I remember a few days aftergoing by the barn with father , "Oh there, Papa, " I said, "I see thebarn." "Yes," he said, "but you did not see us rais e it." So you seewhat I lost by running away." Nic was handy with tools and made many of his toys, including sleds,cartsand wagons. His fir st wagon was made with spools for wheels when he wasabout seven years old. One of the wagon s he made was an imitation of afarm wagon. He cut a set of letters for printing the alphabe t with oneof the numerous pocket knives he had. Nicolas attended only countryschools, starti ng at the age of five years, before his college days. Hemust have had good teachers, for h e had an excellent scholastic record atcollege. Nicolas attended Blackburn University, where he graduated on June10th,1875 with the A B degre e. His marks at Blackburn were almost all10.0, the highest mark, and only once did he fall b elow 9.0. That was inDeportment. It is likely that the reason for that relatively low grade was because of his share in a prank of which he talked in later years,when a cow was put int o a belfry. The low mark due to so seriousdelinquency would have had a serious effect on hi s eventual graduationand the letters of recommendation he received from various members of th efaculty, had it not been for his otherwise unblemished record as astudent. Nic's college education was before the days of intercollegiate athletics,but he played footba ll (rugby type) and competed in the hop, skip andjump. He was quite active in a literary soc iety, holding an office. Hisgraduating class consisted of three girls and twelve men. Eac h of thegirls read an essay and the men delivered orations. Nicolas' oration was"Our Nationa l Duty". When he graduated, he applied for a position atBunker Hill Academy, but not securin g it, he worked as a colporteur forthe Presbyterian Board of Publications during the winter o f 1875-76. Heworked as a surveyor at one time, perhaps the next year, to earn moneyfor his t heological training, for although he was received under the careof Alton Presbytery, as a can didate for the Ministry on October 23, 1875,he did not go to the Seminary until 1877. He grad uated in 1880. While at the seminary, he preached at nearby towns and began his work atElmwood, Ill. A chur ch was organized there and he was it's firstminister. He was ordained a foreign missionary o n October 20, 1880, butcontinued at Elmwood until April, 1881. It was not until August, 1881 that he sailed for China. Probably the interim was spent in visiting hisrelatrives, particul arly his immediate family who had moved to Colorado,with the exception of his eldest sister , Rebecca, who had married and wasiving in Illinois. Nicolas arrived in Shanghai on October 6, 1881, and went to thePresbyterian Mission there imm ediately. He was stationed with aDr.Farnham at the South Gate of the native city, and was ch arged withhelping Dr. Farnham in his duties there. During the early part of hisstay in Shang hai, Nicolas learned the language spoken there so that hecould communicate with the people wh o lived in the area. In the fall of 1882, Fannie Madorah Strong passed through Shanghai in thecompany of other mis sionaries, on her way to Peking. Nicolas and Fanniemet, and evidently quickly found that they liked one another a great deal, as they spent considerable time together during the ten days Fannie was in Shanghai. Correspondence followed, and Nicolas made a trip to Peking in April , 1884, primarily to see Fannie again. It appears that Nicolas proposed marriage to Fannie by mail, and in September, 1884 she accepted his proposal in a letter she sent to him. The marriage date was set as March 12, 1885. Nicolas embarked on the trip from Shanghai to Peking with sufficient time to be there by March 12, however the weather did not cooperate, and he was late. The wedding actually took place on March 14, 1884. Nicolas now had Fannie's help in some of the duties he performed as a missionary in Shanghai , and she seemed to enjoy that work a lot. Six of the eight children they had were born in Shanghai, the other two in Ningpo. The family made one furlough trip to the United States in 1890,and returned to Shanghai a year later. By 1895, the Boxer Rebellion was well under way, and the lives of "Foreign Devils", as all non-Chinese were called by the natives, were at some considerable risk in the interior of China . Much of the work of missionaries in China before that time included travel to small settlements, and throughout the interior of the country. In 1899, Nicolas submitted his resignation as a missionary, and it was accepted. Shortly after that the family returned to America for the final time. The initial point of settlement was Carlinville, Illinois the seat of Blackburn University from which Nicolas had graduated. All the years spent by the family in China had included servants to perform the menial tasks of housekeeping, shopping and much of the cooking. Now the members of the family were forced to do those things themselves. Over the next several years things did not go so well, and at times the only food the family had for dinner was bread and lettuce, not a very appitizing menu. They moved several times as Nicolas was offered pastoral duties invarious churches in Illinois, North Dakota and Iowa. During these years all the children sought work outside in order to help sustain the family. Nicolas enjoyed his work, took pleasure in being a father to the large family and worked ver y hard to provide the best he could for them. In March, 1910 Nicolas died after an illness, probably brought on by an accident with the horse and buggy he used for travel from one parish to another.	Smith, John Nicolas Bailhache (I14121)

1227	BIOGRAPHY: [3991.ftw] [Brderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3991, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998] Norman Bruce Ormsby (1934-1986) was seven years junior to his brother, nine years junior to his sister. He was therefore almost like an only child. In addition, his father died when Norman was just six years old, and his mother was forced to seek outside employment in order to k eep the family fed. Norman was what could be called a "latch key kid" in that he came home from school to an empty house, and had no one to talk to at home until his mother, brother and sister came home from their verious jobs and school. Norman was a very talented musician, began taking piano lessons when hewas five years old. H e played the piano, pipe organ, marimba and other related instruments. He gave a recital when he was about ten years old,and did very well. He worked as an organist for at least one church when he was in his teen years. He did not pursue music in a career sense however, rather he elected to work in the world of computers when they were very young. Norman was 18 in 1952, and was called into the military to serve in Korea. He did not like his military stint, and left as soon as he could. He worked for the San Francisco Police Department in a clerical job of some sort, using computers, after he completed his training which he attended following his military duty. In 1986, Norman developed an inguinal hernia, which seems to be an inherited trait for the men in this family, and he went to a hospital toh ave it surgically reduced. The night before t he surgery, he got out of bed for some reason, and fell onto the very hard floor, striking his head in the process. He died very soon after that, as a result of the injury to his head sustained in the fall. Norman never married, lived alone after he left the military, and was interested in only a few things. He enjoyed working with computers, liked listening to short wave radio broadcasts , and had a huge collection of classical records which he liked to listen to at concert level.[ phelps.FTW]	Ormsby, Norman Bruce (I253)

1245	BIRTH: [3991.ftw] [Brderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3991, Date of Import: Oct 25, 1998] Mary Louise Smith (1890-1983) was born in Shanghai, China where her missionary parents were located at that time. The family lived in China until 1899, when the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion and other political events forced Mary's father John to resign from his post as amissionary. The family returned to the United States, and lived invarious small towns in Illinois, North Dakota and Iowa where John found pastoral responsibilities. EDUCATION: All of Mary's siblings were offered scholarships of one sort or another at one college or another, and Mary went to Lenox College for one year. EMPLOYMENT: She then taught school in various places for a time, but returned home to help her mother in the care of her father during his last illness in 1910. Mary did housework at various places, and finally joined a family in Cedar Rapids where she found work as a receptionist in a doctor's office for a couple of years. She then went to Chicago to study nursing at Presbyterian Hospital there, however she found the work physically beyond her abilities, and left the nurse's training program after about a year. Mary held down some clerical jobs, without any formal training in the subject, and by taking a correspondence course, was able to pass the Civil Service Clerical Examination. She the found work as a clerk with the Federal Government in Washington, DC, during World War I. Pressure from her mother caused Mary to leave Washington, DC after about a year, and return home again. Subsequently, she travelled to Southern California in a search for work, but after a year she gave up the effort, and returned to Chicago where she worked for Western Electric Company in the payroll department. In 1940, Albert died, and Mary's life became much more difficult. She sought work in Palo Alto, but because of her lack of much formal training, and the fact that she had not worked in many years, she was unable to find anything meaningful in that small town. Mary decided to seek work elsewhere, and in 1943, she moved to Stockton,which is in the central valley of California. Nancy had only a few months left in high school, and she didn't want to move to a new school for graduation. Therefore, Nancy stayed in Palo Alto with friends, and graduated from Palo Alto High School, and then rejoined the family in Stockton. Mary was able to find a reasonable job with a real estate title company,where she did clerica l work, and apparently enjoyed herself a great deal. It is possible that some of the researc h she did in her work thereled her into the hobby she devoted many years to, geneaology. She remained with the title firm for a bit over ten years, and then retired. MARRIAGE: Somehow in all this travel, Mary met Albert Stuart Ormsby, and fell inlove with him as he did with her. He convinced her that Southern California was the place to live, and she again went there. They were married shortly after that, and soon they had a daughter, Nancy Jean, and a son Alan Strong. They remained in or near Los Angeles until shortly after Alan was born, then they moved to San Francisco. After a short time, they had a house built in San Bruno, just south of San Francisco on the peninsula and moved there. Their third child, Norman Bruce was born while they were in San Bruno. They lived there for several years, and then moved to Palo Alto, which is farther south down the peninsula from San Francisco. CHILDREN: In 1945, Alan reached his 18th birthday, and was eligible for the draft. He enlisted in the a my so that he could have more choice about assignments and training, and left home in October . Alan returned home in 1948, worked for a time at a military supply nearby, then went off to college in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Norman stayed at home until the Korean conflict forced him in to the army, in 1952. He spent a relatively short time in Korea, and did not enjoy it very much. He returned home after that. Nancy stayed at home until she married in 1947. RETIREMENT: Mary moved to San Francisco in about 1954, because she had retired fromwork, and didn't need the large house in Stockton any longer. She lived in a couple of different flats in SanFrancisco, and traveled to various libraries to continue her genealogical research. It seems that this was the happiest time in her life, and fortunately for her it went on for several years. Finally, she became unable to cope with the problems of every day life on her own, so she move d to San Jose, about 60 miles south of San Francisco,where Nancy and her husband were living then. They looked after her, and provided a house for her to live in as long as she was able to do that. Eventually she was forced to move into a rest home, because she simply could not manage to fend for herself at all. The last twelve years of her life were spent in the rest home, which was pleasant enough as such places go. She died of nothing more than old age at 93 in 1983. [phelps.FTW] 93 in 1983.
