NEWS OF DEATH OF NORMAN SCOVE, THIS CITY, AT SANTA ANA, CA IS A GREAT SHOCK

Former Resident who had been in California for Two Years Died Suddenly Saturday When Health Was Thought to be Near
Restoration. Burial There Today

News of the death of Norman O. Scove, formerly of this city, who passed away at Santa Ana, Cal., Saturday, came as a great shock to relatives and friends in the city when the message was received and awakens the sympathy of the community for the bereaved widow and little son left to mourn him. The funeral was held at Santa Ana today. It is not known whether the body will later be brought to this city.

The message carrying the announcement of Mr. Scove's death was entirely unexpected, as recent letters had led to the hope that his health was much improved. In a letter only a few days ago to relatives Mr. Scove spoke of his plans for the future. Mr. Scove was to engage in the citrus growing industry in California, his property here having recently been disposed of with that in view, and the family was planning to complete arrangements to make their permanent home in Santa Ana.

Mr. and Mrs. August Schuette, parents of Mrs. Scove left for California Sunday afternoon in response to the message announcing the death of Mr. Scove. The message gave no details but it is thought that death was very sudden. Mr. and Mrs. Schuette will not reach Santa Ana in time for the funeral but will probably remain with Mrs. Scove until she is able to return with them to this city. Mr. and Mrs. Scove had made their home in California for two years.

Mr. Scove was born in this city May 5, 1879, and attended the schools here. As a young man he entered the employ of Manitowoc Shipbuilding company and at the time of his resignation two years ago, when his health demanded a change of climate, he held the responsible position of engineer of the hulls department of the big company. He was widely known and was universally respected and esteemed in social and business circles of the city. Mr. Scove was married to Miss Irma Schuette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Schuette, 11 years ago. One son, Robert, with Mrs. Scove, survive. One sister, Mrs. Berlin Hall, of this city, and a sister in New York also survive. A brother, George Scove, died recently.

Mr. and Mrs. Schuette visited with Mr. and Mrs. Scove during the winter.

Nicholas Martiau (1597-1657)

A French Huguenot, he lived some period of time in England before being naturalized as an Englishman and sailing for Virginia. He had been born in France according to his own statement in the records of the General Court of Virginia and is believed to have been a protestant as the records of the French Huguenot congregation in London show him to have been a godfather at a baptism there in May 1615. Martiau arrived in Virginia in 1620. The records of the Virginia Company show that by February 1620 the colony had requested that engineers be sent out who were capable of raising fortifications. The Earl of Huntington, who had an interest in lands in the colony, engaged at his own expense two engineers, one a captain from the low countries named Benjamin Blewitt and the other a reputedly skilled French captain who had been long in England, Nicholas Martiau. Huntington specifically engaged them to act as his attorneys in establishing his lands in Virginia. To that end he saw that Martiau was naturalized, a necessary qualification to own land, vote, or hold office in the colony, and he also provided him with a life interest in some lands of the Huntington estate. Martiau arrived on the Francis Bona Ventura in August 1620. After the Indian massacre in March 1622 he commanded a company which sought out and fought the Indians. For a while after that he was at Falling Creek where the colony's iron works had been destroyed and the population devastated in the massacre. From there in 1623 he testified to the exemplary services of Doctor Ed Giften. In 1623 he was a member of the House of Burgesses that signed the completed draft of the First Laws made by the Assembly in Virginia. By the time of the census of 1624, Blewitt was no longer in the Virginia records and Capt Nicholas Martiau of Elizabeth City was the Earl's sole attorney in Virginia. In 1625 he appears in the muster as Captain Martiau, age 33. In March 1623, the Commissioners sent from London to investigate conditions in Virginia questioned where the colony should be fortified, and received from the Assembly the answer that the best defense against Indians would be a 6 mile palisade from Martin's Hundred to Chiskiacke, the future site of Yorktown. In 1630 Governor Harvey and the council voted lands for those who would settle in the first two years in Chiskiacke and upon completion of the palisade Martiau was among those who moved their families to Chiskiacke. In 1632 as a burgess from Chiskiacke and the Isle of Kent, he signed the petition to the crown for confirmation of the title to all of the colonists' lands. Martiau's plantation eventually included 1300 acres among which is the site of Yorktown today. As a prominent public figure Martiau appears frequently in the records thereafter. He was elected burgess from Chiskiacke and the Isle of Kent in 1632 and was a justice of York County from 1633 until his death, often holding meetings of the court in his home. In the prelude to the famous "Thrusting out of Sir John Harvey", a challenge to autocratic rule, Nicholas Martiau was one of three speakers who by their opposition forced the governor to return to London to report to the king. At two other times occasions arose requiring Martiau to prove his loyalty to the crown: in 1627 he was required by the General Court to take the "Oath of Supremacy", and in 1656 it was recorded in Northampton County that "Captain Nicholas Martiau obtained his denizenation in England and could hold any office or employment in Virginia." Little is known about Martiau's wife. In a letter dated December 1625 written in Elizabeth City and addressed to the Earl of Huntington Martiau announces himself as a husband and a father of "little ones". His wife, Jane, of unknown surname had apparently arrived on the Sea Flower in 1621, then been married to Lieutenant Bartley, and widowed by 1625. She in turn appears to have died before 1640. There is some supposition that there had been a first wife before Mrs. Bartley. There was a third marriage before November 1646 to a widow, Isabella Beech, who apparently died before Martiau died about 1657. Nicholas Martiau was survived by three daughters of his second marriage: Elizabeth married to Colonel George Read, Mary married to Colonel John Scasbrook, and Sarah married to Captain William Fuller, the Puritan Governor of Maryland under the Commonwealth.

Nicholas Martiau, wives and children.

Nicholas Martiau was a French Huguenot and came to Virginia in the "Francis Bonaventure" as a personal representative of the 5th Earl of Huntington, a member of the Virginia Company, a Capt. A Huguenot was a Calvinist Protestant against the Catholic Church. Military Engineer. His plantation comprised of 1,300 acres and included the site of the Battle of Yorktown. His wife, Jane Berkley, was a widow of Lieutenant Edward Berkley.

He was the first to patent the site of Yorktown, and to represent Kent Island, York and Chiskiack in the House of Burgresses (1632). He was a settler of Elizabeth City, Charles City and York Counties, VA. He was a Justice of York County and also a Burgess there. In Volume IV of "Genealogies of Virginia Families" we read " Nicholas Martian's name is rendered variously in the records, Marlier, Martue, Martin, Martain. In 1621 a large party of French Walloons applied to the London Company
for leave to settle in Virginia. Permission was granted, but as they received more favorable terms from the Dutch, they sailed to New York in 1622 and constituted the first Dutch colony in America. Some few, nevertheless came to Virginia, and amoung them was Nicolas Martain, who received his denization in England. In the list of Walloons presented in 1621 to the London Company, there is entered "Nicholas de la Marlier, his wife and two children;" and in the census of 1625 "Capt. Nicholas Martue" is named as living in Elizabeth City.
(Hotten, List of Emigrants to America, 99,176,249.)

When Chiskiack, on York River, was opened in 1630 for settlement he obtained the land at Yorktown and was the first representative in the Assembly for Chiskiack and Kent Island. He was one of the first justices of York County, and in 1639 obtained a patent for land at Yorktown due him on account of importing himself, Nicholas Marlier, wife, Jane, Nicholas, his son, Elizabeth Marlier, his daughter, and Jane Berkeley her daughter and several others "the first year to Chiskiack." In 1625 Lt. Edward Berkeley had living with him his wife Jane Berkeley, and daughter Jane. It seems that Martian married his widow.

In 1635 he took a leading part in protesting against the tyranny of Governor Sir John Harvey, and the loss of Kent Island to Lord Baltimore, and was arrested and confined. But Sir John Harvey was deposed by the council and Martian and his friend were released. In the records of York he is mentioned in 1645 as married to Puritan governor of Maryland. These daughters were probably by the second wife Jane, the widow of Edward Berkeley, and Col. Scasbrook had a daughter named Jane. Martain's French wife and children probably did not survie the "seasoning period." He was the commom ancestor of George Washington, Robert E. Lee and many eminent Virginians.

No family suffered more than his in the decimation of the town in 1704. His buildings were all burned and he and his son, Jonathan with them. One son was killed in the Meadows Fight, another saw three daughters captured - two of them killed on the march. The Deerfield massacre occurred as follows: In the middle of winter, the Governor of Canada sent a large war party towards the town of Deerfield, Massachusetts. It was sent, not because of any harm Deerfield could do Canada, but to keep the Indians in the Massachusetts area stirred up against the English and not allow them any time to develop any friendlier connections. The party was made up of 50-60 Frenchmen and 2-300 Indians. Deerfield had only 41 houses at the time, a population of 268 at the time of the attack. It had been a very cold winter and a recent heavy snow covered the ground. The river was frozen to a depth of 3 feet. The French and Indians came upon Deerfield in the early morning hours of the 28th. There was a patrol inside the little fort, but they were not professional soldiers and towards the morning, they went to sleep. It was two hours before dawn that the French leader, Hertel de ROUVILLE, took his men from hiding and descended upon the sleeping community.

They were inside the pallisade before anyone knew they were there. Within minutes buildings were ablaze and the shrieks of inhabitants filled the air. Two houses on the north end of Deerfield were well fortified and many] had gathered here for safety. The Stebbin and Sheldon houses were attacked and a hole was hacked in the Sheldon house and Mrs. Sheldon was shot and killed as she sat on her bed, and her two year old daughter, Mercy, had her head bashed on the door stone. It was in this house that John's wife, Mary, shown as a bright star in a black night. Her husband, son and grandson having been killed, Mary found it within herself to care for a wounded French officer. When he was brought to the house he was in great pain and cried out for a drink. It was Mary who responded to his call and did all she could to comfort him. It was probably because of this that she was allowed to remain behind when all the other prisoners were marched off to Canada. The march to Canada is fully chronicled by the Reverend John Williams in his book "The Redeemed Captive". Out of 120 captives who left Deerfield, only 60 were alive when they were

ransomed from Canada two years later.

Norsk Biografisk Leksikon
utdypning (NBL-artikkel)

Anders Smith, Anders Lauritzen Smith, Andrew Laurenceson/Lawrenceson Smith, død 1692, dødssted Sola, Rogaland, Fødd ca. 1620 i Skottland; el. 1694.0.0. Biletskjerar og målar.

Gift 1) med ukjend; 2) 1669 med Maren Knutsdotter Sola (el. Håland) (august 1641–februar 1695). Farfars far til Axel Smith (1744–1823).

I tida før romantikken og det moderne gjennombrotet kjenner vi i Noreg få kunstnarar som individuelle opphavsmenn til sentrale kunstverk. Eit viktig unntak frå denne regelen er den barokke biletskjeraren og kontrafeiaren Anders Lauritzen Smith.

Den lutherske reformasjonen var retta både mot paven i Roma og mot “affgudiske billeder” i kyrkja. Først på 1600-talet kom arbeidet for alvor i gang med å utvida det nye lutherske biletprogrammet til meir enn bokstavaltertavler med “herlige sentenser aff den hellige skrift”. Blant dei mange utanlandske biletkunstnarane som kom til Danmark-Noreg for å pryda det tomme kyrkjerommet etter den reformatoriske biletstormen, var også skotten Andrew Smith.

Fram til han blei kalla til Stavanger 1658, er dei biografiske opplysningane om Smith få og usikre. Då Lauritz Smith tok borgarskap i Stavanger 1708, heitte det at han var son av bilethoggaren og målaren Andrew Lawrenceson Smith frå Skottland. Ein familietradisjon knyter Andrew til slekta Smiths of Braco, frå distriktet rundt elva Knaik i grevskapet Fife. At Smith har komme direkte frå Skottland til Stavanger er lite truleg. Kanskje er han den sveinen som står oppført i Bergens manntal frå 1645 som elev av biletskjeraren Peter Negelsen. Familietradisjonen fortel også at han kom til Stavanger frå Flensborg i Sønderjylland. Stilmessig er Smiths arbeid i alle fall direkte eller indirekte påverka av nordtysk barokk, slik den særleg blei utforma på verkstaden til Gudewerth-meistrane i Eckernförde. Ut over dette er lite kjent om Anders Smiths bakgrunn og læreår. At Smith har hatt hjelp av ein son i arbeidet med ny preikestol i Sokndal 1666, skulle tyda på at han inngjekk ekteskap for andre gong då han gifte seg norsk 1669.

Med preikestolen i Stavanger domkyrkje kjem den nye “bruskbarokken” for første gong til Sørvest-Noreg og avløyser den vestlandske “snikkarrenessansen”. Preikestolen i Stavangerdomen er kanskje den mest praktfulle barokkskulpturen i landet og hovudverket til Anders Smith (som namnet blei fornorska til). Det er også eit kunstverk der den overlessa stilen blir prega av eit særprega kunstnartemperament.

Bruskbarokken er først og fremst ein ornamental stil, der kniven til treskjeraren vrir, dreiar og krøllar materialet slik at veden i emnet liknar på deig eller leire – eller brusk. Der renessansen framleis viste fram dei konstruktive formene, går barokken over i ein einaste bølgande og bevega masse utan fast oppbygging.

Inne i den overlessa ornamentikken står den gammaltestamentlege kjempa Samson som preikestolfot og ber Guds ord på hovudet. Mellom ornamenta viser hovudfelta på stolen bibelske scenar. Blant groteske masker, erkeenglar og kristne dygder finn ein òg våpenskjolda til Smiths oppdragsgivar Henrik Below. På toppen av preikestolen tronar den sigrande Kristus nesten til taket i det høge kyrkjerommet.

1669 inngjekk Smith ekteskap med Maren Knutsdotter frå Sola på Nord-Jæren. Frå då av var den velakta handverksmeisteren og byborgaren Smith også storbonde på det gamle lensmannssetet på Sola. Eit brev frå 1682 er stila til “Anders Lauritzen Mahler. Solle ved Stafanger.” Han kan vera den Anders Lauritzen som fekk borgarskap som kontrafeiar 12. juni 1676. Ein stor produksjon av religiøs og verdsleg kunst strøymde dei følgande tiåra frå verkstaden hans: møblement til Stavanger-borgarane, kyrkjeinventar og praktfulle epitafar, dvs. borgarlege minnetavler over jordisk gods og gull, makt og ære.

Anders Lauritzen Smith døydde, truleg mellom 1692 og 1694, med ei stor slekt og ei lita formue etter seg. I hans arbeid ser ein korleis den kunstnarlege impulsen frå italiensk renessanse (Cornelis Floris og stilen etter han) via mønsterarka frå nordtysk barokkk blir sett ut i livet i den skandinaviske provins, går over i byhandverket, og går opp i den lokale folkekunsten, der den framleis kan sporast den dag i dag.

Andrew Lawrenceson ( Anders Lauritzen) Smith er født i Skottland i tiden omkring 1620. Som ganske ung er han ( antagelig i slutten av 1630- årene ) kommet til Bergen, hvor han kom i lære i treskjærermesteren Peter Negelsens verksted. Her må han ha arbeidet i flere år. Hele hans senere produksjon viser at det er i Bergen han har fått sin fornemste kunstneriske utdannelse, det er her han har tilegnet seg det særpreg som han senere alltid kom til å beholde. - Senere dro han på vandring sydover og kom fra Flensburg til Stavanger, innkalt av lensherre Henrik Below for å utføre den nye praktfulle prekestolen som denne hadde besluttet å forære Domkirken.

Anders Smiths største produksjon er viet Stavanger. Det blir ikke bare med prekestolen , som regnes for å være det praktfulleste stykke billedhuggerkunst vi har bevart fra barokk tid her i landet- han får også andre oppgaver. Men også utenfor Stavanger by når hans ry og han får oppgaver med utsmykninger av andre kirker. Han laget også møbler og var kunstmaler.

Andrew Lawrenceson Smith also known as Anders Lauritzen Smith (born in Braco ca. 1620, dead ca. 1694 i Stavanger) was a Scottish craftsman, woodcutter and painter. He was married to Maren Knudsdatter.

He is one of the most notable artists from the Stavanger renaissance, well known for his works in the Stavanger Cathedral. When he moved to Norway, he first settled in Bergen, but later moved to a farm in Sola near Stavanger. Andrew Smith is seen as one of the leading representatives of the Cartilage baroque art period. It is known as Cartilage baroque because the woodcarvings resemble the curves in a human ear.

In the 1650s he was appointed to make a new pulpit for Stavanger Cathedral. The stunningly beautiful pulpit was finished in 1658 and is seen as one of the most significant art works in Norway from the baroque art period. He also created the five epitaphs for the some of the priests and their families, in the nave and aisle of the medieval cathedral. He also created a nummber of important works of Christian art and church art in the Stavanger Region of Norway.

Han var innkalt fra Skottland for å lage prekestol til Stavanger Domkirke. Billedhugger og maler. Han bodde på Sole i Haaland.
