[5366] On the death of her half brother, Edward VI, on July 6, 1553, she became the legal heir to the throne. Lord High Chamberlain John Dudley, duke of Northumberland, however, favored the succession of his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey. He proclaimed her queen on July 10, but the country supported Mary. Mary began her reign by sweeping away the religious innovations of her father. Mass was restored without opposition and the authority of the pope reestablished, but Parliament refused to restore the church lands seized under Henry VIII. Mary, however, restored the property that the Crown still possessed. Even more disastrous was her marriage to Philip II, king of Spain. The engagement was greeted in England by a formidable rebellion under the leadership of Sir Thomas Wyatt (1521-54) to depose Mary and put her half sister, Elizabeth, later Elizabeth I, on the throne. Philip was an uncompromising Roman Catholic and unpopular in England. At his order, Mary joined in a war against France, with the result that Calais, the last remnant of the English conquests won during the Hundred Years' War with France, was lost in 1558. The ferocity with which Mary's personal character has been assailed by certain writers must be ascribed to religious zeal. She was called Bloody Mary because of a large number of religious persecutions that took place during her reign; almost 300 people were condemned to death as a result of trials for heresy. Mary was succeeded by Elizabeth I.

[36140] This person is from the unverified Farmer Family Tree in Ancestry.com in 2014. A note in Ancestry.com in 2014 offers: "John was licensed to preach the gospel by 1809 and was formally ordained in 1819. / In 1837 Jeremiah and Eliza Farmer and two young children moved to Big Creek [Township, Cass County, Missouri]. [Jeremiah] began preaching in 1838 and continued to do so until his death in 1881 in nearby Pleasant Hill.... In 1839, Jeremiah's parents, John and Abigail Farmer moved from Meigs County, Tennessee to join him. / John's second son, William H. Farmer married Dorcas Robinson in 1839. They all settled on Big Creek and there were so many Farmers there that the community was for a time called Farmer." (Terry Jones biography)

[50412] "The Ellsworth American [Ellsworth, Maine]," 2 October 2023: "Aurora - William S. Silsby Jr., 97, died peacefully in his sleep at Ross Manor in Bangor on Sept. 27, 2023. He was born Aug. 28, 1926, in Brewer, to Myrle Coombs Silsby and William S. Silsby Sr. He grew up in Aurora, but his family moved to Ellsworth where he attended Ellsworth High School. He was a three-sport Letterman, graduating in 1943 at the age of 16. In the fall of 43, he began attending Bowdoin College. But after his freshman year, his education was interrupted by World War II as he joined the Navy and fought in the Pacific Theater. In the Navy, he was part of a Higgins boat crew that would drop marines and supplies directly on the shore for amphibious assaults. He also served on one of the first ships to occupy Nagasaki after the second nuclear bomb, nicknamed Fatman, was dropped on that city. He described the devastation there, 'Like hell, all you could smell was death!' Upon his return from the war, he continued his studies at Bowdoin. Although he played basketball, he really excelled at baseball. As a sharp fielding third baseman with an authoritative bat, he thrived as a Bowdoin ball player, still holding several Polar Bear records. After graduating from Bowdoin in 1950, his baseball prowess was noticed by the MLB. The Red Sox, Yankees and Brooklynn Dodgers all expressed interest in Bill joining their farm systems. Since ball players did not make back then the kind of money they do today, he chose to pursue law in the footsteps of his father William Sr. and his brother Herbert. He attended BU Law School as his brother Herb did a couple years before from 1951 to 1953. He never graduated, though, because he passed the bar exam in 1953 and started practicing at the law firm of Silsby & Silsby that same year. During that same year, he became president of the Union River Telephone Company, holding that position until earlier this year. As president of Union River Telephone, he started Rivah.net, which provides internet services to the same area as the phone company and Ellsworth. In his 53 years of practicing law, his talent in the courtroom shined and he became a highly sought after trial attorney. Also specializing in real estate law, he cofounded and ran the Eastern Maine Title Company in 1985 with his longtime friend Diane Burke. His generosity with family, friends, those less fortunate and especially law enforcement inspired him to do a lot of pro bono legal work for those who needed him. In 1969, he married the woman of his dreams, Norene Roderick of Waterville. They were married for 49 years before her death in 2018. She was always by his side and ran several business ventures along with him including Twin City and Waterville Bowling Lanes. In 1983, he was inducted into the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame. Bangor Daily News sportswriter Owen Osborne dubbed him 'Mr. Baseball' in the 50s but his teammates knew him as 'Mr. Clutch.' When the team needed a big play to win the game, he delivered. His baseball career began in 1936 at the age of 11 playing third base for the Aurora Cubs Town Team and he quickly became a hot baseball property after that. Two years later as he was starting high school, he played for the Ellsworth Red Wings, a team that played in what they called the Maine Semi Pro Leagues back then. Over the years, he played for the Blue Hill Badgers, Pittsfield AC in the old Tri-County League alongside fellow Hall of Famer, pitcher Wilson Francis, a two-year stint with Harry Daltons fast Bangor Club, a second run with the Red Wings sharing player/manager duties alongside his good friend Wilson Francis from 51 to 54 and finally back with the Badgers from 55 to 59 where he led the league in hitting with a .462 batting average in 1956. In 1961, nearly a quarter century after playing baseball at a high level, he switched his sports focus to candlepin bowling. As a participant, he quickly became a well-respected competitor, playing in tournaments all over the state. But, probably more importantly, he became an ambassador for the sport, as he did with baseball, promoting the game throughout the state. On the business side, he built Hillside Lanes in Ellsworth, Bangor-Brewer Lanes in Brewer, Waterville Bowling Lanes and he reopened Twin City Lanes in Bangor. After designing a new bowling pin, he started the Scor-Mor Candlepin Manufacturing company with Frank Coombs. On the administrative side, he was president of the Maine State Candlepin Bowling Association and was a member of the World Candlepin Bowling Counsel in which he wrote the rules of the game that are still used today. And on the promotional side, he produced several successful candlepin bowling TV shows, which showcased top bowlers from New England to the Maritimes. He co-hosted with his good friend Dick Stacey doing the play by play and he as the color-man. He was also an avid golfer and he excelled at playing tournaments and Calcuttas across the state. He was a longtime member of Tide Water in Trenton and Kebo Valley in Bar Harbor. He is survived by his sons Jonathan of Gorham, Richard (Rick) and his wife Corinne of Windham, his sister Beverly McLean of Orono, his sister-in-law Ruth Blaisdell Silsby of Ellsworth, his grandchildren Adam of Lee, Mass., Derek and his wife Nish of Auburn, Mass., Kellie of New York City, Olivia, Nevada and Gage of Monrovia, Ind., his son-in-law David Inman also of Monrovia, Ind., and his great-grandchildren Ian and Caroline of Auburn, Mass. He is predeceased by his loving wife Norene, brother Herbert, son Billy the third, daughter Bonnie, and his nephew Bruce Roderick."
