LIONIZING by John Casella Friday, April 26, 1996
I had a nice talk the other day with Joe Ellinwood. His name may not resonate with the younger generations today because he is not now the active figure on Main Street he once was. I have known Joe for over 40 years, I have not always agreed with him, but I always knew where he stood. He'd let you know without any uncertainty or quaver in his voice. He was a powerful distinctive basso-profundo and one of the best public speaker I ever heard.
If you were to make a list of the most influential, civic benefactors of Athol in the last half of the 20th century, Joe would be near the top of the list. To try to relate the story of Joe's life in one column would be impossible. I thought I would like to share some things I had not known previously about Joe. A couple things which most of us would consider huge negatives were turned around by Joe and made into great positives in his life.
Joe told me, "My Dad had the uptown Athol mail route. He ran the Post Office substation. This was before World War I. The mail would come up on the trolley from downtown and he'd pick it up and deliver it all over uptown. He was a hale and hardy man. Then he went off to the first war and got disabled. When he came home from the war they wouldn't give him his old job back. I lost my mother at an early age, things were rough for us. That's when Dad contacted his old Army Commanding Officer, Captain Hartwell, who lived in Gardner. The Captain got him a job as an Accountant in a factory there. That's how I happened to be a graduate of Gardner High School Class of '25. I had been nominated to go to the West Point Military Academy, my scholastics were all A-1, but when I went to get my physical it turned out I was color blind. I was refused admittance to the Point, and that was a real kick in the pants to me."
"I became a saleman for the Gardner Gem Crib and Cradle. I worked out of the Midwest in the St. Louis operation. I was then advanced to head up sales in the South from the Baltimore office. Then the Depression hit all of us, and I wound up back in Gardner in 1932, a bottom-of-the Depression year."
" I became an insurance salesman and worked for John Hancock, had a debit and everything. I did that until 1938 when I figured out that I could make money for myself instead of John Hancock. The first office of Ellinwood Insurance was a 498 Main Street above Todd's market. That was the year I also married an Athol girl, Beatrice Clucus. You remember she was the organist at Our Lady Immaculate for almost 50 years." (I do indeed remember that Joe drove his wife to church every week where he waited for her outside in the car and read his Sunday paper. He was not of her faith but always faithful to her wishes.)
Joe has meant a great deal to Athol over the years since he came back from WWII, where he served as a bombardier in the Air Force. He ran a top notch Insurance Agency. He sponsored many great sport teams in softball and volleyball. He was the Chamber of Commerce President and kept that body up to date and competitive with other towns. He was nationally known as the chairman of the American Legion Foreign Relations Committee. All during the years of the Cold War he visited hot spots for the government like Moscow and Vietnam and expressed his opinions forcefully.
The reason why I never doubted his patriotism and zeal is because he practiced what he preached. He was a true friend of any veteran, disabled or otherwise. I know he helped my brother and hundreds of other vets who had financial or personal problems. Any vet could contact Joe and get help about a GI home loan or a job lead or even a few spare bucks. Joe never boasted about the vets he helped. That was just Joe's way, and I never knew until now that his own father was a disabled vet of World War I.
When Joe was rejected by West Point his patriotism might have gotten curdled or he might have become bitter, but Joe never did. He wore his country's uniform proudly in many, any parades. He was a fine figure of an American. I might have personally doubted his politics, but never for one second did I ever doubt Joe Ellinwood's devotion to and love of country.
It was wonderful hearing his voice on the phone the other day. Joe is a great power of example to me. He got belted down by the early death of his Mom, his Father became disabled in the war then he was rejected by West Point. But he picked himself up and got on with his life. And what a life it's been!
Joe Ellinwood-patriot. Second to none!

History of Dearborn County, Indiana by Archibald Shaw
Emigrants from Maine
It is said that about this time there was a large emigration from the state of Maine, the citizens of that state having what they called the "Ohio fever." In the fall of 1817 fifteen families, all from the same neightborhood in the state of Governor Kent, seventy-eight in all, left Cumberland County, Maine. It excited much curiosity and was spoken of by the papers of the time as "the land fleet." Their route was through the cities of Portland, Albany and New York, thence to the headwaters of the Alleghany at Orlean, New York, thence by boats and rafts to Pittsburgh, and on down the Ohio to Lawrenceburg. Most of this band of emigrants settled on what was for years called Greenbrier Ridge, now known as the neat little village of Manchester. They camped down close together until they had their bearings and then proceeded to secure land for themselves. Robert McCracken, in referring to the coming of Daniel Plummer, said "In the section where Plummer located there were no less than five families living on one hundred and ninety-nine or more acres that was cleared, and on the land I sold Plummer only five acres were cleared. Some twenty families were living within a mile of Mr. Plummer after the Maine colony settled there.

TUCSON -- Clare R. Ellinwood, former co-publisher and half owner of The Arizona Daily Star from 1930 to 1965, has died. She was 92. Mrs. Ellinwood, who died Sunday at her home, became co-publisher in partnership with William R. Mathews in 1930 after her husband, Ralph E. Ellinwood, died of heart failure at age 37.
"She was a fine and gracious lady who lost a husband in service to The Star, and a lady who continued the great traditions of journalism that her husband set before her," said Frank E. Johnson, former executive editor of The Star.
'She loved Tucson with her heart and soul, and treated her newspaper colleagues with respect and dignity," said Johnson, who retired in 1987.
After her husband's death, Mrs. Ellinwood played an active role in the planning and building of a plant for the newspaper and in directing the policies of the women's department of the newspaper.
She is survived by three children, Thomas R. Ellinwood of Deming, N.M., Betsey E. Miller of Arivaca, John C. Ellinwood of Tubac and 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
