Re: HALLOWELL Dan 1920-1959

Bruce_Hallowell — 2013-01-15 01:46:24Z

Dan was son of Daniel Lloyd Hallowell and Helen J. Haggard.
His lineage to the PA immigrant John Hallowell of 1683 is:
(Daniel Lloyd, Daniel, George W., Benjamin F., Benjamin, Samuel, Thomas, John). He and his wife (m. 27 Jun 1942) Rena Winona Downey had 4 children.

Dan grew up in Farmer City, Illinois. He graduated from Moore Township High School and then attended the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois. He studied metallurgical engineering. He had always wanted to fly and in his junior year joined the Army Air Corps. He subsequently received his wings and commission. He trained in B-26 (Marauder) Bomber school in Lakeland, Florida. Later, he served as a trainer for B-26 pilots in Berksdale Field, Louisiana. Towards the end of his military service, he flew B-29s and trained other airmen as B-29 pilots.

Dan was ashore in North Africa as soon as the air fields were usable. In Casablanca, he ran into Tom "Junior" McConkey, also from Farmer City who was a pilot in the Army Air Corps. In Dan's tour in the Mediterranean/European Theater, he covered targets in Tunisia, Pantalleria, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy and France. On most of these missions, he was the flight leader, responsible for not only his own plane, but the others also. As flight leader, he was responsible for guiding flights to target and back to base
regardless of ack-ack, fighter attacks and hazardous weather. He had completed forty bombing missions and ten anti-submarine parols by his twenty-third birthday.

In September of 1943, on a mission north of Naples, his plane was damaged, necessitating an emergency landing. He let the crew bail out behind American lines, and then crash landed offshore, near Salerno. During the crash, he received a slight leg injury which earned him a Purple Heart - from crash landing, not from the flack that caused the damage and made the landing necessary.
Dan led the first Air Force mission into southern France in early 1944, with Solon Airfield, outside Marseilles, as the target.
After his hitch in the Mediterranean Theater, Dan had a furlough at home with his wife and then went directly from the relatively small B-26 to the colossal B-29, first as a trainee and later as a trainer of other pilots.

After the war, he became a pilot for Baniff Airlines and lived in Euless, Tarrant County, Texas. He died on a warm and humid night when the Braniff Lockheed L-188A Electra that he was flying crashed at 23:09 CST, killing a crew of six and 28 passengers. The plane disintegrated in flight over East Texas at an altitude of 15000 feet while on an IFR flight-plan (BN flight 542) from Houston to Dallas, Texas. The plane, built in 1959, was Registration N9705. It had only 132 hours of flight time. It had four big turboprops. Parts of the airplane rained down over an area four miles long. Witnesses on the ground described a glow like a meteor -- bright, then fainter, then bright again -- a screaming sound like a jet engine, and a boom.

It was determined that the Electra turboprop experienced structural failure of the left wing generated by "un-dampened propeller whirl mode". This caused the wing to separate and the plane to crash. "Whirl mode" refers to the results of the application of a force to gyroscopic characteristics of a rotating propeller. When such a force is applied, precession occurs; that is, like a gyroscope, the propeller reacts ninety degrees out of phase to the applied force. This causes the structural resistance of the engine mounting system to apply a nose-down pitching moment. This forces the propeller disc (as viewed from the rear) to turn to the left due to precession. This in turn causes a nose-down propeller disc yawing to the right, which causes a nose-up pitch, completing the cycle. This combination of effects results in a direction of rotation opposite to that of the propeller.

In normal aircraft, the whirl mode operates within the limits of the flexibility of the engine mounts. If, however, some structural element of the power plant, the power-plant mounting system, or the nacelle was in a damaged or weakened condition, the whirl mode would not damp out, but could become more violent, increasing damage to the structure, and could approach the natural frequency of the wing. This would perpetuate the whirl mode in a form of induced flutter and lead to catastrophic failure. It was determined that the Electra's fatal flaw was in the three member structure connecting the gearbox and the engine, a paart supplied by the engine manufacturers. When one member of that structure failed, the engine mount became flexible. On an outboard engine, at the Electra's original cruise speed, failure of the strut induced immediate, violent flutter that tore the wing off.

As a result of the findings, Lockheed redesigned the wing structure so that it would not flutter when such a failure occurred. The strut was also redesigned so that it would not fail. In additon, the wing skins were thickened. All Electras were modified at a cost of just under $25 million. Following the crash, Lockheed established LEAP - "Lockheed Electra Action Program"

---------------------

I have this William Hallowell, b. 25 Sep 1796, son of Jesse Hallowell and Sarah Lukens Hallowell, he died 6 Jul 1850 in Montgomery Co. PA. He married Margaret Slivers c1826 and they had Joseph, Sophia, Tamyson, Samuel, Sarah, Maria, William, and Howard. The William Hallowell who was son of Amos Hallowell and Elizabeth Roberts was born in PA in 1805 and his middle initial "R" probably stood for Roberts. He was born in PA but moved his family to Baltimore, then Indiana, then eventually Kansas. Contact me at hallowellb@aol.com for complete info.

1829 HALLOWELL death: newspaper story online

Hi,

I just posted an old newspaper story reporting the accidental death of Luther HALLOWELL of Framingham, MA, who was killed while digging a well at Ipswich.
This was scanned from an original issue (NOT microfilm!) of The Lynn Mirror newspaper (Lynn, MA) dated Sept. 26, 1829, and you can see it online here:

Re: Jesse Reynolds Hallowell

Bruce, you are correct my grandfather Charles Fredrick Hallowell's (Fred) 1st wife was Edna Riggin they had 2 daughters Helen I (born Feb 5,1912 died Dec 21,1995 she married a Frank Winans)and Madge died soon after birth, Edna also died soon after Madge's birth. My grandfather had hired Lizzie Satterman to take care of his young daughter Helen this turned into a marriage, Fred & Lizzie the following children:Sam,George,Arlie(my Dad)and Glady Elaine she goes by Elaine and she married a Fritz Jackson. My uncles & Aunt Elaine are all still alive.
What is somewhat strange, my grandfather had a sister Mary Eva Hallowell, Edna's father Millard Riggin's first wife died then Millard married Mary Eva Hallowell, I guess my grandfather wasn't very happy about it.

Re: Jesse Reynolds Hallowell

Frank apparently had some people with nicknames or that are half siblings to you. I would appreciate it if you could clarify as you don't mention some of the names in his obituary to include a second wife perhaps?:
[from St. Joseph News-Press (MO) - October 28, 2004]
Frank H. Hallowell
1923-2004
MUNDEN, Kan. -- Frank Harold "Tut" Hollowell. 81, Munden, died Oct. 23, 2004.

I was able to find all of the above named children in the obituary and I have birth dates from mylife.com (except for Jeffrey who I guess was born about 1960). Which one are you?

Lena was Albert's first wife, I believe they were divorced. Estella is my great grandmother, my grandmother had a professional genealogist search her lineages for possible membership in DAR. This was back in the 90's so I have bit of info on Hallowells would love to swap info.

Re: Albert Hallowell - Estella Johnson

Bruce_Hallowell — 2011-12-03 03:37:37Z

I only have the 1900 census on them, so know nothing more about Lena. Did they have issue? I see 7 children with Estelle. I am trying to compile lines for all Hallowells in North America for eventual publication (2013?). If you (or anyone) has any information to share on this surname I would greatly appreciate it. I have over 5,000 Hallowells (with sources) at this time. As you probably know, this Albert Hallowell descends from William Holloway who immigrated to Plymouth prior to 1638.

Albert Hallowell - Estella Johnson

lilgoomer — 2011-12-01 17:46:49Z

As seems to be the case with this particular generation in all my lines there is an amazing lack of records. Albert was born in Newburgh NY 25 Sept 1873. If anyone has more knowledge. Albert was previously married to a Lena and would like to find out more about her.

Re: Hallowell family members of american indian descent.

ValerieL — 2011-01-22 20:34:05Z

You may be right. I can't find any proof of Indian heritage on the Hallowell side. Maybe it is from the Morton side. Is it possible that Mary Clara Morton was of indian descent? Mom swears that she was told that her great grandmother was indian. I'm having a hard time tracing the Mortons. Especially Mary Clara Morton. I know her parent's names but not much else. All I have to go on are rumors.

Re: Hallowell family members of american indian descent.

Bruce_Hallowell — 2011-01-21 01:23:36Z

William Talmage Hallowell (b 17 Nov 1834) and married to Mary Clara Morton descends from John Hallowell (Nottinghamshire Eng. -> immigrant to PA in 1683) via Thomas (b 1679), William (b 1707, Matthew (b 1733), Abel Cadwallader (b 1777), and then Eli Berrel (b 1808). None of these men are known or thought to have Indian blood. It might be possible that a wife of incompletely unknown descent had Indian blood, but I think you are the only person I have ever encountered who has heard this might be the case. Their heritage (adding in known marriages) seems to be a combination of English, German, or Welsh/Irish, and some Dutch. That's it as far as any records go, and no secondary histories related to the family have ever suggested otherwise. Maybe the Indian rumor came via the Morton clan?

Hallowell family members of american indian descent.

ValerieL — 2011-01-20 20:21:39Z

Rumors in my family say that some members of the Hallowell family have indian blood. Would like to know if anyone could prove that claim or has heard this too. My line decends from Eli Berrell Hallowell brn 1808 in Pa. wife Eliza Talmage. His son William Talmage married Mary Clara Morton and named a daughter (my great grandmother) Mary Clara also. any leads would be helpful.

I was getting a bit confused Bruce. I figured out that this Eli Hallowell is not the same as mine. Thank you for your input. But if there are photos of My Eli Berrell Hallowell out there I'd sure like a copy.

Thank you - with the help of this information, I have placed this Bill Hallowell in the Hallowell's of PA that descend from John Hallowell the immigrant of 1683 and have his Hallowell lineage
