The Family of Wilfred Jennett and Julia Hall

Part One - Eight people are buried in Range 21, Lot 36 of the Woodlawn Cemetery but only one has a marker

Thank you to

Robin Stewart

for helping me bring their story to life. It is not historical fiction. Some events are not documented such as picnics on the 4th of July. But there were picnics in the next town over so it was more than likely they were having picnics in Nashua. While I don’t have proof the children left home to find jobs (they could have been in jail, the asylum, or traveling through Europe), it was common at that time and in that place that the children left home for employment. So you’ll find qualifying words throughout — possible, might, probable…

I’m telling the story of common people living common lives which your ancestors might have also experienced.

The flat marker is for George Henry Jennett who was born in 1881 and died in 1957. He is buried in Range 21, Lot 36 along with his father Wilfred Jennett, his mother Julia (Hall) (Jennett) Coburn, his stepfather Charles H. Coburn, an unnamed sibling, and brothers first Alfred, Grover, and second Alfred, none of whose graves are marked.¹ George has a grave marker because his sister Mabel (Jennett) Hamlin requested the marker from the Department of the Army.²

George’s father, Wilfred Jennett married Julia Hall who was from the Champlain, Clinton, New York area.³ Julia’s father probably couldn’t support his thirteen children on what he earned as a harness maker, so the older children left the family home to find employment.⁴ When Julia was 14 or 15 years old she possibly went to work in the mills in Nashua, Hillsborough, New Hampshire since it paid better than working as a domestic servant.⁵

She probably traveled with others from her town on the Mail Train leaving Champlain at 5:18 pm and arriving at Ronses Point at 5:30 pm.⁶ There they switched to the Central Vermont Rail Road headed east to Nashua.⁷ Girls tended to work one to three years in the mills before returning home to marry.⁸ If Julia worked for three years, she would have gone home around 1873 and probably met Wilfred and married around 1875.

While Julia’s parents could read and write, Wilfred’s father could not and Wilfred and his mother could read, but not write.⁹ They were a farming family and education probably wasn’t very important to them. At 18, Alfred, the oldest child, worked the farm, attended school at some point in 1870, and was able to read and write.¹⁰ Two of the younger children also attended school in 1870, but Wilfred and two of the other school-aged children did not.¹¹

Alfred probably didn’t intend to stay on the farm. With six younger brothers, there would be someone else to take over. It appears he left the farm in Chazy, Clinton, New York, and went to Nashua, where he boarded at 15 Lock Street and got a job as a clerk.¹² The following year, he married Belle Stone (also from Clinton County) in Nashua and they moved to a house at 99 Vine Street.¹³ Maybe because of Alfred’s success or due to encouragement from his wife, Wilfred also moved to Nashua, got a job as an operative (laborer) at one of the mills, and settled in a house on 94 West Pearl Street.¹⁴

They were in Nashua during the centennial celebration of the United States. Wilfred and a heavily pregnant Julia probably attended church the Sunday before and listened to a sermon “appropriate to the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.”¹⁵ That Tuesday, July 4, 1876, the factory was probably closed so the workers could enjoy the celebration. It began with a prayer meeting at the Park Street Chapel, followed by a salute on the North Commons fired by “a detail of the Lyndeboro Artillery, the ringing of the bells and general discharge of small firearms, explosion of torpedoes and Chinese crackers.”¹⁶

The streets were thronged for the burlesque procession and the military and civic parade, followed by speeches, a historical address, and the reading of the Declaration of Independence.¹⁷ The French children sang the “Marseilles Hymn” (probably the French national anthem) and then the program ended with everyone singing the “Star Spangled Banner.”¹⁸ The afternoon was filled with picnics and young men competing in races.¹⁹ The day ended with a concert and fireworks on the North Common.²⁰

Sometime during this day, Julia gave birth to her first child.²¹ They named him Alfred probably after his uncle. Even though he’d been born on such an auspicious day, his life did not end well. Alfred developed diphtheria at age two and a half. The only treatment was a tracheotomy “cutting open the throat without anesthetic and inserting a tube directly into the trachea. Through this tube, an attendant could maintain consistent airflow by pushing air into the lungs.”²² The procedure had a “low success rate” and the doctor probably didn’t recommend it for the toddler.²³

When Alfred’s neck became swollen, his parents would have known it was diphtheria, and sent for the doctor. At first, they probably hoped it was just a cold when Alfred developed a sore throat, but as the disease progressed, he would have stopped crying and became weak and lethargic.²⁴ Julia probably prayed that he would be one of the children to survive as she watched him struggle for each breath until his airway finally closed off and he suffocated.²⁵ And then she probably wondered if she was going to lose Mabel Helen whose first birthday most likely passed with little notice two days earlier.²⁶

Young Alfred was the first to be buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in January 1879, and the family probably thought he’d be the last when they left Nashua around 1880 and moved to Sciota, a hamlet of Chazy, where George Henry was born in 1881 and Grover was born around 1884.²⁷

Sciota “contains a French Catholic church, a store and post-office, and is the site of the business enterprises of the Sciota Manufacturing Company.”²⁸ The Sciota Manufacturing Company was making bedsteads, cribs, and cradles and Wilfred probably got a job there which allowed his children to visit their paternal grandparents (Julia’s parents had died before she married) who also lived in Sciota.²⁹

But the family didn’t stay put. In 1888 Julia gave birth to their fourth child, Lillian, in Charlotte, Chittenden, Vermont probably near where Wilfred’s sister Julia Gertrude was living with her husband, Albert C. Collins.³⁰ However, the family did not stay long and returned to Nashua shortly after Wilfred’s brother Alfred died in 1889.³¹

The family settled into 197 West Pearl Street and attended the Methodist Church on Main Street.³² In 1892, eight-year-old Grover was chosen to participate in the Christmas program.³³ Julia probably smiled encouragingly as she and Wilfred kept one-year-old Alfred (probably named after his deceased uncle), four-year-old Lillian, eleven-year-old George Henry, and fourteen-year-old Mabel Helen reverent.

During this moment, they may have reflected on how life was better for their children. At Mabel Helen’s age, Julia had already left home to make her way in the world. Julia could not read or write, but Mabel Helen and George Henry could and there was every expectation that the younger children would also.³⁴ But at the same time, there was probably a tiny fear in Julia’s heart – one out of five children in New Hampshire would die before reaching age five.³⁵ She’d already lost one and there were two more in the risk group. But when tragedy struck, it wasn’t Lillian or Alfred, it was Grover.

Grover probably came down with a fever and a cough. Once again, it was easy to say it was a cold, but tuberculosis was responsible for about one-quarter of the deaths in New England at that time, and Julia and Wilfred probably knew they were going to lose their son when the cough didn’t go away and Grover started losing weight.³⁶ That Sunday before Christmas 1896, Julia probably was sitting by her son’s side instead of at church. This time she probably wasn’t thinking about how better life was for her children but about how much they would all miss Grover.

He passed away on Christmas Day at age twelve and was buried in the lot at the Woodlawn Cemetery with his brother.³⁷ But he was not the last child Julia buried. A third child was buried in the same lot as “Jennett, child of W” and was probably born around 1893 and died before 1900.³⁸

Cotton mill built in 1850 where Lillian Jennett probably worked. It is now apartments. “Property Data (WebPro),” database with images, Assessing Department, Nashua New Hampshire’s Gate City (https://assessing.nashuanh.gov/default.asp : accessed 21 January 2025), search for Street Name Front, Street num 30.

After Grover’s death, Wilfred left factory work and found a job with the railroad.³⁹ But TB struck the Jennett household again; Wilfred suffered with it for several months before succumbing in May 1900.⁴⁰ The widowed Julia needed to support herself and her two youngest living children. To make ends meet, Julia took in laundry and two lodgers at her home at 26 Franklin Street, Mabel worked as a sewer at the cotton mill, and George did odd jobs.⁴¹

Then Julia did what many women in her positions did, in 1907 she married again. It was the first marriage for forty-eight-year-old, piano repairman, Charles Henry Coburn.⁴² Since Mabel and Lillian continued to live with their mother, Charles considered them as his daughters but considered George and Alfred as stepsons.⁴³ Charles’ death in March 1917 threw Julia into what was called neurasthenia (“physical and mental exhaustion…often associated with depression or emotional stress”) which contributed to her death in October 1917 from hypostatic congestion (probably fluid in the lungs usually found in patients who are confined to bed).⁴⁴

The timing was especially bad as her son, Private George H. Jennett, Co. K. 103rd Infantry, was serving in the war.⁴⁵ It was a brutal time. In one engagement, George was wounded in the back by shrapnel. In the battle at Appremonte he “got his left wrist furrowed with a machine gun ball.”⁴⁶ “Out of the 250 men in Co. K only 12 are now on their feet and the balance, including all officers are dead or wounded.” At the battle of Chateau Thierry on 18 July 1918 he was wounded so badly, he was sent home.⁴⁷

1. In 1900 Julia (Hall) Jennett reported she had seven children and four of them were living. Evidence was found for six children. The Woodlawn cemetery lists “Jennett, child of W” with no birth or death dates and is probably the unknown seventh child.
