Anna Eloise Whaley (1832-1913) with her great-granddaughter Margaret Anna Reynolds (1906-1989) in a photo taken about 1908. Margaret was one of three children born to Mabel Whaley Reynolds James, the daughter of Anna Amelia Whaley. Lillian Whaley described Margaret as “bright, observing, alert, affectionate.”

Ventriloquist Doll Found in San Juan River
SHIPROCK, NM - Navajo Police thought they recovered a small human body from the San Juan near the Shiprock bridge on Wednesday.
Navajo Nation Police spokesman Lonnie Yazzie said police found a body in the San Juan River on Wednesday near the Shiprock traffic bridge, " we have no other details at this time but more information may be made available on Saturday night or Sunday morning as crews investigate. We believe this object might belong to someone local or it could be possible it floated down the river from Farmington, NM. The only clue we have at this time is the initial " V.B. 1995," carved into the wooden doll's leg."
Taking names and haunting people.

The Whaley House Complex consists of several historic buildings including an 1870s Mansard style, Victorian-era home known as the Verna House. It was moved to this location from Ash Street in 1965 to save it from demolition, and since 2001 has served as our Museum Shop. In 2004, the Verna House was restored to its original appearance including accurate paint colors, striped roofing shingles, and replication of the long-missing ridge cresting. Pictured above: (left to right) Lori Anne Peoples, Autumn Acker, Mary Jones, Debbie Stuve, Sandé Lollis, and Alana Coons.

Anna Whaley surrounded by family members at Mabel Reynolds’ home in Oceanside, CA, 1911. From left to right: Mabel Whaley Reynolds, Marion Reynolds, Bruce Whaley, Anna E. Whaley, Margaret Reynolds and Lillian Whaley. Lillian recorded in her journal entry of April 3, 1911: “Had a group picture taken yesterday by Mr. Baird. Four generations. Thought I had better before anything happens to Mamma. She has a bad cough.” Upon seeing the result a week later, she added: “I look like the church militant--’fierce.’ Margaret’s face is screwed up, the rest of the group passable. Four generations, anyway.”

"The Whaley Papers, many over 150-years-old, document San Diego's business life, politics and government affairs, weather, Indian troubles, townspeople, and the rivalry between Old Town and New Town, as well as the personal correspondence, notebooks, photos and journals of Thomas and Anna Whaley and their family. These important documents were tightly guarded with only a few select researchers granted access, and even then to only parts of the collection.."
Check out the archive HERE:http://whaleyhouse.org/archives/archives.htm
Shortly after the historic 1857 Whaley House in Old Town was saved from demolition and purchased by the County of San Diego in 1956, a descendant of Thomas and Anna Whaley donated the contents of two old trunks anonymously to the museum.
You mortals may not always see them but yes... there are many of us spirits HANGING around.

In 2000, San Diego’s countywide historic preservation advocacy organization #SOHOSanDiego assumed stewardship of the Whaley House for the County of San Diego Parks and Recreations. Although the museum had already been open to the public for many years, one of #SOHOsd’s goals was to restore the house to its nineteenth-century appearance. Great strides have been made in the last 20 years, and we look forward to showing you even more progress in the near future! Pictured is the oldest known photograph of the Whaley House from 1874 (top) and one from around 2000 (bottom).

Theresa Eloise Whaley (1889-1899) was the daughter of Francis Hinton “Frank” Whaley and his wife Susie. Her Aunt Lillian wrote in her journal on December 3, 1889: “Frank had a letter from Susie. Says the baby weighed 7 ½ lbs. without its clothes, and has sharp, bright eyes. Wish the little thing was here.” Sadly, Theresa Whaley died at age nine on January 8, 1899. She is buried at Hillcrest Cemetery in Mendocino, California.
