Message Board Post:
hello Ed, and thanks for your reply. I have since discovered the step-daughter of the great uncle I was seeking. She is almost 90 and has been a wealth of information. What I have learned is that a nun took it upon herself to change the family's name from Cristofolini to Christopher because she was not in favor of Italians due to the notorious Al Capone. I have not seen the name Annie in my research, so there are probably many, many Italians that have "become" Christophers since immigration. On some web sites I have found many variations of my surname. Good luck in your searches. mike

Page 263 WILLIAM LANCASTER
The life of the late William Lancaster, for many years general agent
of the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Mass., affords
a conspicious example of an honorable and useful career self-wrought.
Beginning life humbly, without capital, and unaided by influential
friends he attained a position of prominence among the businessmen of
Worcester solely through his own ability and the exercise of energy and
unconquerable determination. Throughout his career his labors and
responsibilities were discharged with the greatest efficiency,
testifying to his splendid capabilities as a man of affairs.
John and Catherine (HAWORTH) LANCASTER, parents of William
LANCASTER, were of English birth, the former having died in England in
1861, and the latter in Worcester, Mass., in November, 1874, aged 61
years, and her remains were interred in Hope Cemetary, Worcester. In
1864, 3 years after the death of her husband, Mrs. LANCASTER and 6 of
her children came to the United States, settling in Dodgeville, Mass.,
where they remained till 1866, when they moved to Lonsdale, Rhode
Island, from whence they removed to Worcester, Mass., 1870. The children
of John and Catherine (HAWORTH) LANCASTER were: James; Ellen, deceased;
William A., died in early life; Susanna, deceased; William, see forward;
Daniel, deceased; Nancy,whose death ocurred in England; George Y., a
resident of Worcester, at the present time (1905) conducting a ticket
agency in the State Mutual building; and Sarah.
William LANCASTER, born in Lancashire county, England, July 11,
1845, received but limited educational advantages in his boyhood,
attending the common schools in the neighborhood of his home half a day
from the age of 8 to 11, working the other half day in a carding room,
and subsequently learned all the branches of weaving, becoming a
thorough and expert workman. At the age of 9 years he lost one of his
fingers at his work. When 11 years of age he commenced working full
time, and thereafter for a number of years attended night school,
thereby supplementing the knowledge gained during his earlier years. He
accompanied his mother to this country, and upon their location in
Worcester, as stated above, secured employment at the Worcester Bleach
and Dyeworks located in South Worcester, remaining 18 months. In 1870 he
became an employee of the firm of C. Foster & Company, dealers in
hardware and builders supplies, successors of the Duncan & Goodell
Company, and for 14 years served in the capacity of bookkeeper.
In 1884 he engaged in the life insurance business, in which line he
was engaged at the time of his death, and during the intervening time
gained for himself a reputation and was generally recognized as one of
the most successful men in this line. He was the general agent of the
State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester. Mr. LANCASTER was well
known in the Masonic fraternity of Mass., and was popular in the social
circles of Worcester. He was a member of Athelstan Lodge; Hiram Council;
Worcester Lodge of Perfection; a life member of Worcester Chapter, of
which he was formerly secretary, and was a 14th degree Mason. From 1898
to 1905 he was secretary of the Worcester Lodge of Elks, # 243. He was
also a member of the Gesang Verein Frohsinn, or the Frohsinns, as it is
familiarly called, the Lakeside Boat Club, and the Hancock Club, and was
a former member of the Commonwealth Club and of the Worcester County
Mechanics' Association. Mr. LANCASTER was the 1st treasurer of St.
Mathias Episcopal Church of Worcester, and his family are members of St.
John's Episcopal Church of Worcester.
Mr. LANCASTER married in 1883, Catherine A. CHRISTOPHER, daughter of
Henry CHRISTOPHER, and the children born to them are: Edith Clare, born
Dec. 12, 1883, graduated from Adam Square Classical High School in
Worcester, and from Vassar College June, 1905; she married Dec. 1, 1905,
Edward William KINGSLEY, of the firm of Kingsley & Adams, successors to
Kinnicutt & Dewitt, bankers. Richard Christopher, born in Worcester, May
9, 1887, a student in the English High School. Olive Haworth, born in
Worcester, Jan. 5, 1891, a student in the Classical High School. Mr.
LANCASTER died very suddenly, Sunday, Oct. 21, 1906, of apoplexy.

I have a wonderful old small photograph of two ladies, wearing large hats, labeled on the back only with Gertrude's full name. The photo was taken in probably 1925, give or take a few years. I would like to get the photo back in the hands of family members.
I believe this may be the same Gertrude Christopher, born in 1903, wife of Samuel P. Christopher, and who lived in Quincy, Adams Co., IL One of the ladies in the photo is about 20 and one about 40.
If you feel you may be related to Gertrude, please email me at margerice(a)prodigy.net and I can scan the photo to you.
Linda, I am still here working on other surnames.
I've made no new progress on my CHRISTOPHER line.
