It is a very moving presentation. The lyrics to the
background music:
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to
bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is
clear and red.
When the summer's ceased its gleaming,
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure's lost its meaning,
I'll be homeward bound in time.
Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you
somehow.
If you find it's me you're missing, if you're hoping
I'll return.
To your thoughts I'll soon be list'ning, and in the
road I'll stop and
turn.
Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears
its end.
And the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound
again.
Bind me not to the pasture, chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you
somehow.
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to
bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing,
I'll be homeward bound again.

Ron and list,
The only thing I can say regarding dates pertain to Allie WAY. The only
census information I've found for her is in the 1880 census. At that time she was
19 and living in St. Louis, Mo., with her husband, Charles WAY. He was a
theatrical agent. My grandfather, Edward C. COLBY, was born in 1880 in St. Louis.
All we know is that that marriage didn't last and she married "Mr. COLBY."
Edward was raised by Charles and Allie. We didn't even know his first name until I
got my grandmother's marriage license application. My grandfather listed his
father as Charles COLBY and his father's place of birth as Connecticut. The
only picture we have of him is of his back - he's seated at the piano and Allie
WAY is posed in her "dancing doll" costume.
I've found newspaper mentions of the act in the 1890s and early 1900s. Edward
COLBY also joined the act doing a "buck and wing" dance. He ended his
vaudeville career in South Africa when the touring troupe he was with had to leave
that country with the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899. Don't know if Allie and
Charles were on that tour. Edward joined the Army and then the Navy. He was 43
and the leader of the Mare Island Navy Band when he died in Vallejo,
California, in 1923, of kidney failure. My mother was 6 at the time and my grandmother
pregnant with my uncle.
My mother, still around at 88, never knew Allie or Charles. Allie may have
been alive at the time Edward married my grandmother in 1915, but don't have any
evidence that Charles was still around. Edward was evidently close to my
grandmother's mothers family, the GOULDs. We have a postcard from my grandmother's
Aunt Jennie (GOULD) BELL in which she refers to visiting the "lion tamer"
(Allie had a pet panther) in Plymouth, New Hampshire. The BELLs bought Allie's
house there, according to the family story. My mother believes that she died in
Plymouth. I wonder if it was the COLBY connection that would have brought her
to New Hampshire. She was born in either Louisiana or Missouri and had spent
most of her life traveling the country in circuses and vaudeville. Plymouth
seems a rather unusual place to end up after that kind of life. She may have
spent time at the house in Plymouth well before her career ended as she used to
practice her slack rope walking on a rope tied between two trees in the back
yard there.
Anyway, that's the approximate time frame. If Charles were around Allie's age
he would have been born around 1860. Her first husband was twice her age so
she may have liked older men, though!
I guess I'm hoping someone knows of a Charles COLBY in their family history
that ran off to join the circus.
I appreciate your attention to my query!
Sincere thanks,
Betsy

From the Fort Wayne Gazette (Ft. Wayne, Indiana) 1896 Jan 12
"The attraction at the Empire the coming week will be Colby's All American Novelty company, composed of the stars of the American vaudeville stage.
Mr. Charles E. Colby is the only warbling ventriloquist on the stage. His latest novelty, the dancing doll, has been the hit of the season. Mlle. Alberta is the only lady in America doing on the bounding wire. ..."
Charles E. Colby was my adopted great-grandfather. "Mlle Alberta," slack rope walker and the dancing doll mentioned, was my great-grandmother, Alberta "Allie" Howard Way. Her son, Edward C. Colby, was my grandfather.
The only information I have on Charles is from my grandfather's marriage license which states Charles was born in Connecticut. I would love to know which Colby line he is from. If anyone has any information please respond!
With sincere thanks,
