Today In History, June 28:
1894: Labor Day was establlished as a Federal Holiday. However the way the trend is going in present time, it looks like the Holiday will be changed to "Executive Day".
1951: "Amos & Andy" premeired on CBS-TV. Did I tell you my 3rd cousin, several times removed, Niles Trammell, as an excutive with NBC Radio before there was TV signed up "Amos & Andy" Radio Show? Of course I did.

My Claim to Fame
_____.jpg)
My ancestor Joseph Bookhout was born in Holland in the year 1700 and died in Rameur, Randolph Co, N.C., in 1806 – yep, he lived 106 years.
Joseph and his family Americanized their name to Bookout when they got off the boat, so to speak.
But this is not about Joseph. It is the Halloween season. It is about his brother John Bookhout. Here is what notes I have on him:
"The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" (the Headless Horseman) started in the cemetery at the Dutch Reform Church, Tarrytown, New York (near the Hudson River).
John BOOKHOUT, or his son, was serving on the Board of Elders when the legend was born. Later Washington Irvin made the legend into a published story.

According to oral family history Winston applied for the job as school teacher for the plantation Mulberry Plantation, near Savannah, Ga., for the children of Revolutionary War hero General Nathan Greene. When she applied, General Greene had already died. His wife hired her.
Later, a teacher by the name of Eli Whitney came to be interviewed for the same school teaching position but the job was already filled by Winston Tyson.
Before his journey back he spent a few days as a guest of Mrs. Greene. While there, he invented the Cotton Gin with the final touch of Mrs. Greene's comb.

The Headless Horseman
Speaking of Ichabad Crane: It is often amazing what you may turn up doing family research.
In my genealogical tree I have the surname Bookout. The name was changed from Bookhout. My Bookhout/Bookout relatives came from Holland.
The first Bookhouts of my line to arrive to America were three brothers. One went out west, one settled in Ramseur, North Carolina (my ancestor), and one (John) settled in Tarrytown, New York, along the Hudson River.
John was an elder of the Dutch Reform Church in Tarrytown when the Legend of the Headless Horseman was born in the church's cemetery.
Washington Irwin turned it into a good story, and Walt Disney even made it a better story.
Where is my cut?

Amos & Andy and Niles Trammell
Leander N. Trammell had nine children. One was William Trammell. William married Betsy Niles. They had three children. The only one to reach adulthood was Niles Trammell.
Niles grew up in Marietta and ran around with the elite, such as Lucious Clay, Rip Blair, and the Brumby family boys.
Later, how he got there, I do not know, but he was an executive wtih NBC Radio Network in Chicago. He was the person that signed up Amos & Andy to NBC Radio. I don't know if picking a successful show helped his career or not, but probably so, not long after that Niles was president of NBC.
Niles Trammell was president of NBC when the time came in history to include the new invention televison to their broadcasting.
Now, back to Amos & Andy. I have heard the show when they were on radio and probably saw all the Amos & Andy sitcoms. Many times one of the cast, either Amos, Andy, or George Stephens (King Fish) would remember something when they were younger back in Marietta, Georgia. Marietta was mentioned through out all their shows.
I am wondering if the remembering of Marietta was there because that is where Niles Trammell was born and grew up at? Did he get to make any creative suggestions?
