49100. Charles Hoyt Ellingwood
When his father died, Charles and his mother moved to Brooklyn to live with her Hoyt aunts on St. Felix Street. With the recommendation of the rector of the Church of the Redeemer at 5th Avenue and Pacific Street in Brooklyn he was accepted at the Trinity School in New York. He and his mother were living at 83 St. James Place near Pratt University by 1893.
Given that Horatia Cunningham must have also been living near Pratt, where she was teaching wood-carving and perhaps attended the same church, it can be assumed that this is where they met.
Charles was a stockbroker in partnership with his brother-in-law James Cunningham between 1895 and 1901. He was a partner in the creation of the Wolverine Lubricants Co. in 1911. Their most notable product was Wolfs Head Oil, a fine motor oil distributed nationally. It was supposedly a favorite of chauffeurs who drove limousines and although far removed from when the family was a part of the company, it is now used for race cars. Charles eventually headed the firm.
The family lost their positions in the company about 1930 when Charles was removed as a voting board member for misappropriation of company funds.
Charles was fiercely devoted to his daughters. The family lived in a succession of large houses in Montclair and owned a summer house on Groton Long Point, CT. Charles owned a sloop called Diana, which was raced on Long Island Sound.

Horatia, known by the nickname "Tip," was born in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Oral history says that she was given her middle name by the minister at her baptism, apparently without consulting her parents about it.
Her parents decided to move out of the city to a farm of the Hudson River in Tarrytown. Her father died when she was a little over a year old when he was unloading their household goods at the Tarrytown pier. The family ended up in Montclair, New Jersey.
It's possible that Tip attended Pratt University in Brooklyn, because she was teaching there by the time she was 24 (1889), perhaps earlier. Her specialty was wood carving.
Tip probably met Charles Ellingwood in Brooklyn. He and his mother were living in the same neighborhood as Tip. They married at Tip's mother's house in Montclair. After the marriage, the Cunninghams and Ellingwoods lived in adjacent houses at 78 and 80 Clinton St.
Tip taught at Pratt up to the time she married, but she gave up her artistic pursuits to move to the suburbs and raise her two daughters. She became active in gardening. Later in life she and the family spent summers at their house in Groton Long Point, CT.
Generally she seems to have enjoyed a life of leisure, but it was compromised by her husband's drinking and his extramarital affair. Her daughter Evelyn contracted meningitis at an early age, and ended up with nerve damage from a spinal tap. This altered the course of her life and must have affected Tip greatly as well. Tip also lamented the resentment Evelyn felt towards Virginia, placing that animosity among the several things that she wished would be resolved before she died.

Virginia, known as "Ginnie" attended the Dwight School in Englewood, NJ. She had the opportunity to study with an artist in Manhattan, but turned it down. She nevertheless drew and painted various subjects, particularly figures. She had a French pen pal during WW I (through a program called Mon Soldat). She made numerous trips to Europe and was particularly fond of Etretat on the northern coast of France. She gathered a great deal of genealogical information on her family. Her mother and grandmothers provided her with stories that we can now pass down through the generations. She told her own stories as well.
Virginia was also very interested in gardening, creating her own landscapes at her homes in Morristown and Madison, New Jersey, Norfolk, Virginia, and Bristol, Rhode Island. She designed their house in Madison with the help of an architect. An example of the determination she had to create a beautiful environment around her I saw myself. At Bristol, she and John T. "Jack" (also "Gramps") Carpenter, her second husband, bought a small house that would suit their needs in their elder years. It had a tiny, flat yard to the side and back and a strip of asphalt in front. She took a pick-axe and dug up the asphalt and carted soil around the yard to create different levels and walkways. She planned the remodeling of the house with a local preservation architect. The transformation was well-known in town. Her love of Europe appeared all around her in her decorating choices, especially colors.
Virginia lived in Bristol through Johns death, but when she needed health care, her daughter Janie (also known as Ginnie, being named Viriginia Jane) brought her down to live in an addition to her house in Covington, Louisiana. She was in a nursing home in the last years of her life, but never lost interest in her family and her artwork. She was a most loving person and left behind just the sort of wonderful memories that one would want from their granny. Virginia is buried next to John Carpenter in Downington, Pennsylvania.

Franklin, known by the preferred name "Stod," was to be named Stoddart Holbrook Smith. His uncle Franklin intervened, insisting that the oldest son of the family should be named after his father's oldest brother. Thus, he became Franklin Stoddart Smith II.
Stod and his sister Peggy spend a year at Starkey Seminary, by the shores of Seneca Lake. Stod told his family (perhaps not his parents!) that he and Peggy caught a ride on a freight train that was passing through Starkey, clinging to a car to Watkins Glen about 20 miles away.
Stod worked at the family's soap factory in Manhattan when he was young. He recalled the flickering gas lights, and worked at putting the wrappers around the soap bars.
He attended the Cloyne School in Newport and Stevens Institute in Hoboken, but left to enlist in the Navy during World War I. He was the radio officer on the battleship Louisiana, which was a training ship and later used for troop transport from France. He became sick from drugs used to inoculate diphtheria and had fond memories of the time spent with Peggy, who helped him recuperate on Peak's Island.
Stod met Ginnie Ellingwood while playing in the orchestra for the Montclair Players, a local acting troupe. After they were married, Stod became an executive at Wolf's Head Oil, of which his father-in-law was CEO. With Stod's parents and an architect friend of the family, Adrian von Schmid, Stod and Ginnie had one of three houses built on a cul-de-sac off Park Street in Upper Montclair.
Stod's life took a dramatic turn when, due to his father-in-law's indiscretions, he was forced to leave Wolf's Head Oil and he and Ginnie divorced. He went back into naval service during World War II as an officer at a supply depot in Brooklyn.
He married Lue Zimpel and eventually retired to Mt. Lebanon, PA. They enjoyed many years together and continued the family's long tradition of boating in the summer.
