		MARY BARTLETT IRVINE, according to James Clarke Irvine, Mary. B. was the 4^th child and 3^rd daughter of James Callender Irvine and Martha Nevin Bartlett. According to her grand daughter, Mary Ellen nee Dickenson Bogardus, Ellen was 5^th child and 4^th daughter. She was born in Mt. Vernon 10^th Oct., 1833, and was married to Charles Fowler Baldwin, publisher of the Republican News of Mt. Vernon, dying in November, 1871 – nearly 4 years after the birth of her only child, Mary – or Maimee as she was known. Six years later her husband was to marry her younger sister Rebecca. MARY BALDWIN, only child of Charles Baldwin and Mary Bartlett Irvine was born 1^st Feb., 1868, in Mt. Vernon. Her mother’s death in Nov. ’71 left her under the care of her Aunts Matt and Rebecca in the home of her Grandparents at 110 E. Gambier St. Her schooling was through high school, and though no specifics of her girlhood have been forthcoming the lady known to me for 3 years gave evidence of exemplary rearing under happy circumstances – for she was a gentle, refined and loving motherly personage. Rapport with her Aunt-Stepmother Beck and her family created an atmosphere of congeniality and comfort. When 19 years of age (25 Oct., ’87) she was married to Addison C. Dickenson, and old Mt. Vernon family product – but temporarily a fur dealer in Minneapolis, which city was their home until 1890. Other moves are recorded with notes of her husband. Maimee was deeply in love, and many instances are remembered of the regard and respect mutually evident between then. She died 18^th May, 1921. * Addison C. Dickenson, husband of above, was born 15^th Dec., 1864. His parents were an old and well established Mt. Vernon family. Assisted by his father he established a fur business in Minneapolis, Minn. In 1890 he returned to Mt. Vernon and engaged in reportorial and managerial work under his father-in-law (Chas. F. Baldwin) for the Republican News. About 1895, he established and managed a newspaper in Canton, Ohio, while publishing the American Tribune of Newark, Ohio from 1900 to ’05. He later owned and supervised management of papers in New Castle and Sharon, Penn. – owning the latter until his death. After Maimee (or Mamie) died Addison re-married – to an old and close friend of Maimee’s – Mannie Stamp Ogelvie, on 24^th April, 1922, whereupon he moved from the old Irvine home to the Ogelvie property at 401 East Gambier. He died 16^th Oct., 1944 – Mannie having preceded him by several years. Maimee, Addison, and Mannie are buried in Mound View Cemetery. Issue of Mary Baldwin and Addison C. Dickenson: - Mary Ellen Dickenson. Addison Goff Dickenson. Charles Baldwin Dickenson. Bishop Irvine Dickenson. * MARY ELLEN DICKENSON, 1^st child of above was born in Minneapolis, Minn., on 5^th May, 1889. When but a year old the family moved back to Mt. Vernon and Mary’s schooling began. Such a good student – after high school going for a degree to Smith College, special business courses at Wellesley, then matriculated at Western Reserve Medical School in 1918 (to which she couldn’t adjust) – that the opposite gender played little part in her thoughts until, on 31^st Aug., 1921 she was married to Thomas Lowe Bogardus, and old Mt. Vernon orchard owning family. The following 9 years were to produce 5 additions to the household, and Mary was much too busy with home and Episcopal church affiliations to cogitate on what she might be missing because of her withdrawal from a medical career. A casual inspection of her home left little doubt that none of her great grandmother’s "small hand and aversion to housekeeping" had been allotted to Mary. Tom, born 25^th Aug., 1885, was an orchard man – the application of whose education evolved an expertise that produced a prosperous business. A specialty was "quality apples" – accomplished by meticulously demanding the tree of its imperfectly forming fruit, resulting in all nourishing substance going toward development of large and richly flavored specimens. Somewhat the same principles were directed toward the children – a design to guide his progeny toward that decorum of conduct acceptable not alone to himself but of which the community could be proud. The family, after the death of Mary’s step-mother, resided with Mary’s father in the Stamp/Ogelvie home at 401 East Gambier Street, Mary continued to live there for some time – Tom having died 18 Jan., 1960. * WILLIAM DICKENSON BOGARDUS, 1^st child of above was born 21^st July, 1922, in Mt.

With the examples before him of a father and grandfather and uncle in the news gathering business Addison quite logically followed their footsteps., His was largely reportorial work – with the local Republican News and later with his father’s papers in Sharon and New Castle.
