What was my grandfather running away from?

When John Sutherlands grandfather drowned himself, he left behind chests of ancient banknotes, a fractured, angry household, and the revelation that he had gone by three surnames during his lifetime. The riddle contributed back to the 19 th century

On 4 February 1958, the body of a 70 -year-old man was spotcheck bobbing in the river Colne, below Middle Mill pond, in Colchester. He had been in the ocean for six days, by a frequented, paved track. Stones in his pocket( as my mother much eventually told me) signify my granddad aimed his mas to remain started for ever- but postmortem gas made it back to the world he wanted to leave.

The death record was terse:” SALTER or KNOPP Kenneth Leonard Vernon of 12 West Street Colchester, who was last examined alive on 28 January 1958 and whose dead body was found 4 February 1958 … Impressions PS805 8s .”

There were a couple of superficial reasons why Kenneth Salter/ Knopp should have committed something that, in his earlier Victorian daylights, was called the crime of “self-murder”. His wife, Daisy, had gone into hospital. It was not terminal- she would outlive him by eight years. But he was alone in the house. His last recorded statements were, as he watched trafficking in human beings:” Everybody drives nowadays .” Not him.

After his death, the mystery about Salter/ Knopp thickened. Although he had worked as a manual labourer for 40 times, he owned got a couple of homes elsewhere in the country. Boxes substance with cash discovered in his shed- often of it ancient observes. The currency and property were discreetly laundered. Daisy modernised her house and lived her last years comfortably off- comfort disclaimed her for all her small life.

The reason Kenneth opted the death that he did was, I believe, to escape from what he was. He was born outside of matrimony( perhaps) and “hes been” Jewish( most probably ).

I knew him closely for two years of my childhood. I was, from persons under the age of 10 to 12, mad on angling. He was formidably knowledgeable about the rivers. He could catch fish in a rain puddle. Two particular favourites, in our fishing expedition, were the Stratford and Dedham mills. These old-fashioned websites, in 1949, were virtually unchanged since Constable decorated them.

However, we never fished around Middle Mill pond. A sidekick, he announced, had submerge there. He pronounced little. His paraphernalium was 30 or more years old. As was his bicycle. Those Saturdays were among the happiest of my life.

Until relatively recently, Knopp was a name wholly unknown to me. My mother, the smartest of “their childrens”, declined occasional remarks, in passing, that her father was Jewish. No details.

I couldn’t start to make sense of it until a acquaintance( declared below) did a ” Who do you think you are ?”~ ATAGEND for me.

Kenneth’s mother, Alice Knopp, was carry in 1866 in Frating, Essex, a few cases miles from Colchester. Most Jewish communities knotted in London but a number inclined to Essex. Alice went into domestic service aged 14. Her life thereafter is obscure.

The next registered detail is Alice giving birth to Kenneth Vernon Leonard in 1887, in Hackney, east London. On the birth credential, she applied her reputation as Alice Wheatley( nee Knopp ), although she was not, in fact, wedded. She opened the father’s appoint as Arthur Wheatley, carman( ie go-cart motorist ). My hunch is Arthur never existed. It was a legitimation ruse. For the next four years, Kenneth was ” Wheatley “.

Four years later, this resourceful lady, whose disdain for official documentation was incorrigible, renamed herself Lillie Knopp, spinster( exit the invisible Wheatley ), and married Frederick Salter, in Camberwell, south London. Salter was a soldier. He had connected the military forces after being imprisoned of mugging- better khaki than tables. He was 13 years older than Alice. But he had visualized “the worlds”, smelled gunpowder, and cut a manly chassis. He had been stationed in Colchester about the time Kenneth was envisioned. Kenneth Knopp/ Wheatley now became Kenneth Salter- the reputation he used for the rest of his life. Frederick died 5 years later, in 1896.

John Sutherland as a boy.

The widowed Lillie is recorded in 1901 living with her son( Frederick is now registered as “his fathers”) in Colchester. Colchester is a garrison town, and in 1903 she seduced George West, a sergeant-at-law in the Suffolk regiment, into matrimony. She clearly had a desire of men in garb and they for her. There is a vitality about what little one knows about her that is warming.

Kenneth, her only child, was now 15. He became a trouser presser, a skilled business in Edwardian England. He was a whiz with his irons and spraying. There were queues of Colcestrian dandies at his door at weekends. At 22, he wedded 17 -year-old Daisy Agnes Hamilton. She was heavily pregnant. Evidences were William Knopp, Kenneth’s uncle, and his mother Alice West.

Daisy was pretty, diminutive, and( that valued act) “dainty”. She was also a good seamstress; capable of mending trousers and , when required, good with the irons( I met her using them dashingly, heated on gas rings not the hob, as belatedly as 1950 ). The pair lived in a handsome residence( how did Kenneth buy it ?) in Colchester, with a originating family.

Kenneth was 27 when battle broke out. His army service, insofar as one can infer, was brief, and ignominious.” Salter K” enlisted on 12 January 1917 and was exhausted from the Royal Architects on 19 July 1917. The reasonablenes given is “sickness”. It was its first year England almost lost the crusade, and men were desperately needed. But not Private Salter. The sickness was, I suppose, mental. He did, however, have an disabled, utterly whitened see which- I accepted- was a campaign wound. He may have watched war and fallen apart.

Whatever, he came back a difficult mortal. His eldest daughter, Daisy, is pregnant and was shuffled off to Australia. His son, Arthur, on his death bottom, in 2004, told me that Kenneth had trounced him savagely as a child and that he was convinced that he was not “his fathers”. He added that, after the battle, Kenneth was drunken and merciless to his wife. Daisy’s friend would come round and pierce him into better behaviour.

Kenneth’s pressing sciences were unwanted in the 20 s, and he sank to being what his death credential calls a” general labourer “. But mysteriously, he still had coin enough to buy another nice terraced room. The wherewithal was coin left by his mother, Alice, who may have got it from household contacts in London. The times of the tones knew after his death indicate he began boxing up coin in the late 30 s( when, I guess, Alice died) and did not splash it around. Doing that would have made drawing attention to himself. An “illegitimate” Jewish Knopp. Loneliness closed in. To launch his sole claim to Alice’s money, nonetheless, he had had to identify himself as Knopp- hence the surname oddly popping up on his death detect. It is practicable he was not Jewish, or half-Jewish. But I guess my mother was right.

I assure the self-chosen outcome of Kenneth Leonard Vernon Wheatley/ Knopp/ Salter as the last, conscious keep it moving a long flight from the personal history embedded in those three surnames. Kenneth’s dismal burial was attended merely by two daughters. I was instructed to keep away. His wife chose not to tour. She said she was glad the cold February sun had briefly shone:” He didn’t get much in his lifetime .” He had not left her any memo , nor- apparently- believed to be softening potential impacts of his death.

I see a lot of Kenneth’s last-place hours, before his lungs crowded. The persona has recurred me for weeks now. And, to escape that, I think of those other, happier mill ponds we fished in.

The Gandhi Customer Service Quote or How I Learned to Fear The Internet

In an age of endless information perpetually being created, re-calibrated, rethought, and reworked, history is often thought of as a static subject in our collective consciousness - something relegated to dusty library shelves until someone feels the need to fact check whether World War II started or ended in 1945. Of course, this understanding is as false as many of the lies perpetuated on the internet today, as academics continually attempt to understand what happened through new lenses.

One of the many false quotations found on the internet features the man known as the ‘father of India’ talking about the importance of good customer service. The quote itself is typically presented with a benign image of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Or ‘Mahatma’ for the honorifically and spiritually inclined) with the text written as follows:

Of course, these words were never spoken by Gandhi. Rather, they paraphrase an interview by Kenneth B. Elliott, Vice President of a now-defunct automobile company. In fact, the original quote has been reworked repeatedly, moving seamlessly through banks, fuel companies, retail operations, and newspaper articles, until finally winding up in the journal Foreign Trade of India to advertise Indian films. By this time, the passage of time facilitated the idea that Ghandi’s disciplined self-denial and his adherence to nonviolent civil disobedience were somehow applicable to customer service. 

A cursory Google search of the words “Gandhi Customer Service” presents the quote on a site called Service-Ability, which focuses on the desire to “Create a Customer Centric Culture & Achieve Competitive Advantage”. Though the top comment at the bottom of the page is a counterclaim referencing a Quotefinder page, most of the comments are more focused on the post’s message about alleviating the deep frustration and suffering of the modern customer. Many of the other pages found through this Google search will also reference the quote from a speech that never happened in 1890.

Most critical thinkers with any knowledge about the life of Ghandi would immediately find this quote strange, as he was not a known businessman, but a lawyer-turned-human-rights activist/ religious leader / living deity. In fact, Gandhi’s connection to the service industry was often fraught with conflict. His first fast, which would become a common tool of anti-oppression in later years, was done to spark the resolve of mill workers that were involved in a workers’ strike in Ahmedabad, Western India. The workers, galvanized by this act, went on to secure a 35% pay increase. This philosophy of peaceful defiance was similarly used when Gandhi marched 12 miles a day for 24 days to defy the absurd British tax on salt, and essentially set in motion the end of British rule in India. At this particular moment in time, it is doubtful that Gandhi was thinking about the disruptions this may have caused to the individual salt purchaser, but who knows? Perhaps behind the facade of a great spiritual and political leader was a man who simply wanted the customer to have access to the very best sodium chloride prices.  

The idea that Gandhi’s legacy could so easily cross over to the realm of customer service requires a fair stretch of the imagination, but that has not stopped the general public from attributing his name to a plethora of quotes, typically small enough in length to be put on an inspirational poster or a bumper sticker. These quotes can be found on sites that promote anything from physical fitness, animal rights, to the alt-right - and even fashion. In fact, the more you look on the internet for bogus quotations, the easier it is to find them, often with hilarious results.

Why does this happen? The misquoting of Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Winston Churchill, Machiavelli, Frederick Neitzsche, and Sigmund Freud all indicate that people enjoy the idea that great leaders, thinkers - the movers and shakers of the world! - all had great punchlines and pithy comebacks, even though reading any of their books and interviews would rarely elicit cheap Hollywood-esque acclaim.

The widespread access of media creation tools readily allows users to create an image (more frequently referred to as a meme) and use it to rapidly convey attitudes to their receptive audience. Although often intended as a humorous device, these memes can be problematic, as the signs and symbols they employ are often used to misconstrue statements or impart values that are not necessarily the thoughts or values of the speaker. When words are juxtaposed with a figure of immense moral, intellectual, or spiritual integrity, it often gives weight or gravitas to an idea.

As Hua Hsu of the New York Times wrote, “ Memes don’t circulate because they’re true. They circulate because they’re funny. They’re about re-appropriating the culture around us and short-circuiting meanings.” This type of thinking was also discussed on a This American Life podcast episode which focused on a motley crew of professional meme creators who believe they helped Donald Trump win the American Presidential election. This is extremely significant in a world that is dominated by click-bait, social media, and short attention spans. Hsu’s words were chillingly prophetic, and set the tone for why now, more than ever, we need to be aware of the implications of falsities. 

“From Baldwin to Luckey, from dank-meme magicians to people cracking wise on Twitter: it’s a shoot-the-moon logic that’s come to define this moment. The possibility that a joke might cohere into a seeming movement. Maybe a joke could even win the Presidency.”
