The loud-speaker''s bellow died away and there was an answering stir in the big terminal building of the airport. People began to move toward the wide windows that overlooked the landing field. Soon there was a thick wall of humanity packed against the rail that protected the glass.“Too jammed up here. Let''s go outside.” The young man who spoke was slender and slightly more than medium height. Over a neat gray flannel suit he wore a tan trench coat which hung well from broad shoulders. His black hair looked even blacker than usual in the brilliant glare of the well-lighted room.His companion towered over him by almost half a foot. A trench coat, also tan, dropped from massive shoulders that hinted of tremendous power. He lifted his left hand to look at his wrist watch. “On time,” he said. Then, using his shoulders as a wedge, he gently forced a path to the doors. His flaming red hair stood out above the crowd like a beacon.

ELY was born January 6, 1840, in West Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1857, at 17, he enlisted in the Seventh Regiment of the New York National Guard. George William Ely was a soldier in the Civil War and watchdog of the New York Stock Exchange, a towering figure in both fields. Here is how Colonel Emmons Clark describes Ely the soldier, in his History of The Seventh Regiment: "Captain Ely was a thorough soldier, a strict disciplinarian, and a dashing and popular officer. He was remarkably soldierly in appearance, with great physical strength and powers of endurance. He was distinguished for his kindliness and generosity, and he was a social and genial comrade and a steadfast friend." Photograph is of Captain George W. Ely circa 1863 and the Seventh Regiment. Photograph is courtesy of Leonard Ely. On the far right in white gloves sitting down is publisher Daniel Appleton. The Gangs of New York would have faced Ely and friends in July 1863. The Seventh Regiment protected the harbor from angry mobs over the draft imposed by Abraham Lincoln. Ely enlisted in 1857 and went to the front as sergeant of the Seventh Regiment, and his regiment was the first to be mustered into the Civil War by Abraham Lincoln on April 26, 1861. George was named in honor of his uncle George Sidney Camp who wrote a book which was a best seller during the 1800s entitled "Democracy." George W. Ely, as Secretary of the Stock Exchange, was designated generally in outer circles of Wall Street as the man who "owns" the Big Board. When anyone ever violated the strict rules of the Exchange Ely was the man who would apply judgment, a lot like a court of law. Upon his death the New York Times of August 22, 1922 says it all: "No more characteristic figure in the New York Stock Exchange of a quarter century ago could be named than George W. Ely, who died on Wednesday at his country home in Onteora in the Catskills. He became a member of the Exchange in 1869, and in 1874 was elected secretary, serving in that capacity to the end of the century 1900 when he resigned to become President of the Bankers Trust Company. No other institution has had more to do with our world as we know it. The Exchange, in many ways, has shaped our country and, by extension, ourselves. It is important, therefore, to know the minds which formed it. Ely''''s son Henry B. Ely was in charge of forming the first military battery for the United States government by a private citizen which was known as the Astor Battery. This battery fought in the Spanish-American War in 1898. Henry''''s mother was Francis A. Wheeler-Ely, she was a second cousin to Confederate General Joseph Wheeler. Joseph Wheeler is one of two generals who fought in the Spanish-American War in 1898. Confederate General Robert E. Lee said Wheeler was one of his best two calvary leaders during the war. The other was Nathan Bedford Forrest. Joseph Wheeler was the only Confederate general to attain the same rank later in the United States Army. Three decades after he commanded Confederate cavalry forces, he volunteered at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War and was commissioned a Major General of Volunteers in Cuba. He later became a Brigadier General of the Regular Army in the Philippines. Henry B. Ely also worked with his in-law, Abner Bartlett and built the Astoria half of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for John Jacob Astor, IV. Ely was one of three trustees of the Astor Estate with Theodore Robinson, (nephew to Theodore Roosevelt) and James Roosevelt Roosevelt (a half brother to Franklin D. Roosevelt). Henry gave up this position because he developed TB and moved to Southern California where he died in 1911 a year before his old boss Astor died on the Titanic. Henry''''s grandfather-by-marriage Abner Bartlett was a trustee of the Astor Estate for John Jacob Astor III and William Waldorf Astor he was the man who arranged the building of the Waldorf-Astoria. Henry B. Ely married Louisa Easton Kissam who was a cousin to Mrs. William Henry Vanderbilt. All descendants from Comodore Vanderbilt are also descanded from the Kissam family, pronounced Kiss-Sam. For his son William Henry Vanderbilt married a Kissam and all living Vanderbilts are Kissam descendants an old New York Family. Photo to left is Lilliam Kissam Easton and her sister "Grace" who was the first person to sign in at "The Waldorf Hotel" in 1894. She married Harvey Duryee another well known family of New York City and a Seventh Regiment member. Ely married the great granddaughter of Rufus Easton. Easton knew John Jacob Astor in 1800. The photo shows Lillian Easton Kissam and her younger sister "Grace" Kissam the first person ever to signed into the Waldorf Hotel register. Lillian married Henry B. Ely right at the time he began working for J.J. Astor on the Astoria Hotel. The Kissam sisters were very close to actress Maude Adams, (the very first Peter Pan). At the very time the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was being built from 1892-1897, Maude Adams was acting regularly with John Drew! Maude Adams was a cousin to both Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams. The Bush family is not the only U.S. President to have a son as a President. The other President was Adams'''' son. Pun intended. In 1897 Maude Adams, her mother Annie, John Drew and Ethel Barrymore entertained the Astor, Ely and Bartlett families on opening night of the largest hotel in the world, The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The play was Rosemary. Maude Adams and the Ely Family used to spend much time at the Catskills in New York State. Ethel Barrymore kept a room at the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. It seems odd that Drew Barrymore''''s great aunt and great grand uncle John Drew entertained my great grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Ely in 1897 at the opening act of Rosemary.
