The best three regular season wins of the Bruce Bochy era
The future Hall of Fame manager has had a lot of wins in a Giants uniform. Which three stand out?

Share All sharing options for: The best three regular season wins of the Bruce Bochy era
Photo by Will Newton/Getty Images
With the San Francisco Giants' 9-3 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday, Bruce Bochy secured yet another milestone in his illustrious managerial career: 1,000 regular season wins while donning the orange-and-black.
Just how many wins is that, exactly?
*pulls out calculator*
Multiply by π, carry the two, don't forget the decimal, calculate P versus NP…
It's a lot of wins!
It also means a lot of good memories courtesy of our big-domed Sultan of Grumble. But like my mom always says, not all Giants' wins under Bruce Bochy are created equal. In general, a majority of baseball wins are pretty ho-hum affairs where nothing spectacular happens, while a small minority are so aggravating to watch, they don't feel like wins at all.
But among the riff-raff of forgettable box scores, a few games stand out for the best reasons possible.
Before I get to the list, a disclaimer: I tried to focus on games that exemplify some aspect of Bochy's managing style rather than player performances. So, while Matt Cain's perfect game might be the greatest (regular season) game of all time, it's not like Bochy had much to do with it—unless you think subbing in Joaquin Arias for Pablo Sandoval was a move for the record books.
Here is the definitive list of Bruce Bochy's best three regular season wins as the Giants manager. And if you disagree with any of my choices, feel free to send your complaints to my personal assistant at bryanmurphysbn@gmail.com.
May 21, 2011: San Francisco Giants vs. Oakland A's, 3-0
Bochy has earned his fair share of criticism for not getting with the times when it comes to advanced metrics, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of bucking trends. It's just that when he does so, it's usually in favor of an old-school approach.
Few games illustrate that better than this contest against the Oakland A's. It really was a vintage 2011 performance: The Giants went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position; Miguel Tejada and Mike Fontenot started at third base and shortstop, respectively; and Tim Lincecum dominated the A's lineup on his way to a complete-game shutout.
But if Lincecum were pitching today, he probably wouldn't have had a shot at a shutout because he'd give up six home runs by the third inning because of his pitch count. He finished the game with 133 pitches, which at the time was a season-high for all pitchers across MLB.
If there's one hallmark of Bochy's managing philosophy, it's his tendency to give his starting pitchers an extended leash. Sometimes, it's an extra-long retractable leash, as he lets his starters blow past recommended pitch counts.
Still, I remember watching this game at the time and thinking, Why is Bochy letting Lincecum pitch the ninth? The Giants had added a couple of insurance runs in the eighth, and Brian Wilson was ready to go. It seemed foolhardy at best to push his starter for another inning.
But there's a reason I'm sitting in a cozy armchair instead of a dugout, because Lincecum rewarded Bochy's faith in him with a dominant final showing.
After giving up a single, he got Coco Crisp to ground into a forceout. What followed was some of the best pitching I've seen from The Freak. On a 2-2 count, Lincecum got Daric Barton to swing helplessly at a 96-MPH scorcher above the letters. Then, he made Ryan Sweeney do his best Brandon Belt impression, lasering another heater for a called strike three.
I can't say enough about his last pitch of the day. It was a masterpiece. It was so good—so pure, so perfect—I involuntarily power shrieked while rewatching the ninth inning this morning. A crisp 95-MPH fastball that just nailed the black. Seriously, stop whatever you're doing, go to the nearest bathroom stall, and watch for yourself.
Gems like this one just don't happen anymore. In 1998, 212 pitchers ended a game with a pitch count of 125 or more. In 2011, only 40 pitchers repeated the feat, including Lincecum. Last year, that number dropped to a measly three pitchers.
In other words, this game doesn't happen without Bochy's notoriously long leash.
Twenty years down the road, after the robots have taken over baseball and starters are yanked after 50 pitches, we'll look back at this performance the same way we look back at Juan Marichal's legendary 16-inning shutout today. And when our future selves slip away to the bathroom stalls for a quick trip down memory lane, we'll have Bochy to thank.
July 20, 2010: San Francisco Giants @ Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-5
Despite occupying a prominent spot at the top of the dugout stairs, it's debatable how much credit managers really deserve for a team's win-loss record. But every now and then, a manager has an opportunity to play a direct role in a game's outcome.
That was the case here, as Bochy sealed a comeback victory for the Giants thanks to a sharp eye and a keen knowledge of the rulebook.
First, some context: This game was a pitchers' duel for the ages, with a still-in-his-prime Lincecum battling up-and-coming superstar Clayton Kershaw. At least, that was what it was supposed to be. Instead, Lincecum got rocked for five runs in 4.2 innings, while the Giants managed to scrape together four runs (two earned) against Kershaw.
The Giants were trailing 5-4 going into the top of the ninth. Dodgers manager Joe Torre had been ejected from the game along with Clayton Kershaw in the seventh, leaving future Dodgers manager Don Mattingly in charge.
Fortunately for Mattingly, he didn't have to do much. Hung-Chih Kuo made quick work of the Giants in the seventh and eighth, leading to the no-brainer decision to plug in All-Star closer Jonathan Broxton to finish the game.
Except…things didn't quite go as planned. Juan Uribe singled, then Edgar Renteria walked. After a sacrifice bunt by Aaron Rowand and an intentional walk to Aubrey Huff, Mattingly paid a visit to the mound to calm his closer and talk strategy with his infield.
And then, Mattingly did the most Mattingly thing possible, recording what might be the first and only TOOTBLAN ever committed by a manager.
If you can't watch the video, well, I recommend finding a bathroom stall. But if you really can't watch it, here's a description: Mattingly walks away from the mound, but quickly turns around and exchanges a few last words with his players. It appears the umpires have missed what just happened, but not eagle-eyed Bochy. He immediately calls attention to Mattingly's managerial mishap, and with no one warming up in the bullpen, the Dodgers are forced to replace Broxton with a cold George Sherrill to face the modern-day Adonis, Andres Torres.
On the second pitch of the at-bat, Torres smacks a go-ahead two-run double to left-center, securing the comeback.
The word schaudenfreude gets tossed around a lot, but few things are sweeter than the boos of Dodgers fans harmonizing with the dulcet baritone of Jon Miller as he calls Mattingly "a very inexperienced manager."
May 25, 2013: San Francisco Giants vs. Colorado Rockies, 6-5
The last decade of Giants baseball has been a gold mine of highlights that's left us feeling like Tom Waits after he's found Mr. Pocket. But there's one particular highlight that I'll consistently rewatch every few months or so. It's not the no-hitters or perfect game; it's not Sergio Romo striking out Miguel Cabrera; it's not Buster Posey lighting up Mat Latos.
Speaking of…
No, the highlight I'm talking about is none other than Angel Pagan's incredible walk-off, inside-the-park home run.
This game had all the makings of being one of the most infuriating viewing experiences ever. Barry Zito was starting. The home-plate umpire blew two huge calls. And Bochy got ejected in the eighth.
Now, I know what you're saying. "But wait, ShutUpWesley, you said you wouldn't focus on individual performances in compiling your list. How could Bochy have made an impact if he was stuck in the clubhouse?"
Well, first of all, why are you talking to me, peasant. Go bother my assistant. Second of all, while it's true I've been looking for an excuse to post this highlight since coming on as a writer, I have it on good authority that Bochy played a much bigger role in the outcome of this game than it might first appear.
With the Giants down 5-4 in the bottom of the 10th, Bochy sat in the clubhouse grumbling to himself. Anyone watching would just assume it was Bochy up to his Bochy-noises way, but secretly, he was invoking the dark arts of the baseball demons, casting a hex on the Colorado Rockies and allowing spirits to possess the bodies of Pagan and Tim Flannery. All it cost the team was the 2013 season, Pagan's hamstring, and Flannery's common sense.
But that's Bruce Bochy for you, masterfully handling the most forbidden of dark magic for the betterment of us all.
Thanks for the memories, Bochy, you wizard. And here's to 49 more.

Obama Gets Political, Kelly Clarkson Wows 'Em
I'd say that this was a more explicitly political inauguration speech than usual, with lots of shoutouts to specific political goals and partisan disagreements. I expect the Fox News set to hate it. Here are a few key excerpts:
Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.
The commitments we make to each other — through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security — these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.
Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity.
Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it.
Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.
Also: that was a helluva performance of America from Kelly Clarkson, wasn't it?
UPDATE: Sure enough, the Fox News commenters seem distinctly unhappy with this speech. Brit Hume is complaining that the economy is still terrible. Chris Wallace says Obama didn't reach out to conservatives at all. Bret Baer thinks it was basically a challenge to Republicans not to try and mess with the welfare state. Megyn Kelly says that even the Washington Post thinks Obama is too liberal. And so far, we've only heard from the relatively moderate wing of Fox pundits. I can hardly wait to see what Karl Rove and Sean Hannity have to say about it.
UPDATE 2: Now they're chattering about whether it's OK to say that Beyonce is an attractive woman.
UPDATE 3: Now they're back to arguing that Obama is the real obstructionist, not Republicans. I think I'll tune out now. I imagine they can keep up this schtick pretty much forever.

Thoughts on Azure, OMS & SCOM: Hey SCOM! Automatic Alert Resolution Isn't Working?!
Hey SCOM! Automatic Alert Resolution Isn't Working?!
Sometimes SCOM admins from different customers contact me stating Automatic Alert Resolution in SCOM is broken. However, there is something else at play here so I've decided to write this posting.
The Alert Veeam VMware: VM Deploy Failed is 377 days old, and has the Resolution State New. So one might think the Automatic Alert Resolution functionality is broken indeed. But there is more to it.
There are Monitors and Rules. And both are capable of triggering Alerts. However, a Monitor will only generate an Alert once when it changes state, like Healthy > Warning, or Healthy > Critical or Warning > Healthy, depending on what kind of Monitor it is (2 or 3 state).
So a Monitor won't flood the Console with the same Alert. However, a Rule will raise an Alert and keep on doing that when the same critical condition is detected. This is by design. But it has the potential to flood the SCOM Console (and the Notification Model) with many Alerts all about the same issue.
So a Rule uses an Alert Suppression technology. Instead of triggering Alert after Alert, the Rule checks whether it has already triggered an Alert and when it already did, it won't fire a new one. Instead it will raise the Repeat Count by one increment of that same Alert.
So this Alert which is fired for the FIRST time 377 days ago, has a Repeat Count of 22615 (!) times. And here it comes: Every time the Repeat Count is raised, SCOM looks upon that Alert as a fresh one, except for the Notification Model that is.
So every time the Repeat Count is raised by one increment the counting of 30 days starts all over. And after those 30 days SCOM will groom that Alert out of the OpsMgr database.
Automatic Alert Resolution works. But when an Alert is triggered by a Rule and the Repeat Count is raised by one increment every time, it will start the counter for Automatic Alert Resolution all over again. So stay on the ball and in control. Manage your Alerts in a normal manner and you'll see everything works out as intended.
You can add to the view "Last Modified" because that is the field that Automatic Alert Resolution uses as the timestamp to count from.

A new species of running dinosaur has been unearthed in China. The new dinosaur belongs to a group called Alvarezsaurs, which are longed legged dinosaurs adapted for running. They are closely related to the ancestors of all modern birds. Nicknamed the roadrunner, the tiny dinosaur is one of the smallest and leggiest Alvarezsaurs ever discovered. Remains of the newly discovered species, Xixianykus zhangi, were found last year by a local farmer in China's Henan Province, around 250 miles south of Beijing. The dinosaur lived about 85 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. Scientists believe the little dinosaur was no more than 50cm long with legs around 25cm long. It is also believed "roadrunner" had feathers! National Geographic News have more on this story.

Ripon Won't Grant Approval For Poster For 9/11 Memorial [UPDATED]
"Associating that one religious identity with terrorist attacks which go back far before 9/11 and after 9/11— creates for some students here an environment which they feel like they are not able to learn."
By Kassy Dillon
@kassydillon
The original article has been corrected to reflect that Ripon College did not overtly reject YAF's application, but that they did not grant an application; Ripon claims that no application is necessary in the first place.
Ripon College told The Daily Wire that the students are not prohibited from hanging the posters and that the students were not reported, but that "members of the campus community sent notes to the bias group about the posters." Ripon College also says they are "well aware" that the YAF chapter will hang their posters and that "there is no policy that requires pre-approval to hang posters," adding "The YAF students are also Ripon College Students and as such are free to submit complaints to the bias group."
YAF posted a new article titled, "Ripon College's Ban By Any Other Name," alleging that "Ripon College claims that because they never used the word 'ban' in reference to the posters memorializing innocent victims of radical Islamist terrorism, they don't deserve the criticism that's been leveled at them." YAF added, "It seems self-evident but in our view, as well as the view of the larger press, a refusal to grant approval is the equivalent of a ban."
Administrators at Ripon College have not granted approval for a Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) poster publicizing their 9/11 memorial because "students from a Muslim background would feel singled out and/or harassed," according to YAF.
The flyers are provided by YAF for their "9/11: Never Forget Project" and feature pictures from various terrorist attacks including 9/11, the 2017 Pulse nightclub shooting, and the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, among others.
Administrators were critical of the poster, claiming that some of the events "don't have anything to do with 9/11," citing ISIS (which was previously named Al Qaeda in Iraq until 2013) and the Iranian hostage crisis, of which one administrator claimed, "I'm not sure I think the Iran hostage issue was Islamic terrorism."

Poster for YAF's 9/11: Never Forget Project
The administration reportedly told the chapter that objections were brought to the administration and the bias incident team because the posters focus "relentlessly on one religious organization, one religious group, one religious identity," and that "associating that one religious identity with terrorist attacks which go back far before 9/11 and after 9/11— creates for some students here an environment which they feel like they are not able to learn."
Members of the Bias Protocol Board also said that the poster does not add "to the conversation about 9/11, or about the politics of terrorism, or about national security or responses to it that couldn't be done easily and more constructively without it."
Administrators also raised concerns about the poster only displaying terrorism committed by Islamic terrorist organization. "It seems like the only terrorist activities brought up in this poster are those done by extremist Islamic groups, and so if I'm Muslim on this campus, like, ok, it sends the message that all terrorism happens by Muslims," administrators reportedly said.
One administrator also said "the intent is admirable to talk about why we are killing each other," according to YAF, but questioned why the club was focusing on 9/11 instead of school shootings."That's very admirable, and I support that, but what about school shootings?" the administrator asked. "We've had almost a school shooting a day for the last ten days, and we're continuing to up the body count."
The chapter used the same posters for their memorial last year, causing a bias report to be filed and resulting in a review and a meeting ahead of the planned memorial for this semester, according to YAF.
"Just as remembrances of horrific events carried out in the name of Nazism or Communism include honoring other victims of those ideological treacheries, so does the remembrance of the attacks carried out by radical Islamists on September 11, 2001," YAF spokesman Spencer Brown said in an article.
Spencer also points out that while Ripon is a private institution, it is not "immune from criticism of its decisions, especially when they attempt to censor key moments in our nation's history that would be forgotten if not for bold Young Americans for Freedom activists such as those in Ripon YAF."

Early Workers
Gill and Hughes Families
Revised May 28, 2019
LINK to Willie Gill's Funeral
TTT Editor's Notes: As background, Hazel Hughes is the sister of the late Garrett Hughes, who was a Regional Overseer in Eastern USA. Hazel and her brother Garrett were children of Fred Hughes and Mary Ann (Gill) Hughes. The Gill family professed in Ireland in 1898, when Wm. Irvine preached his second mission at Rathmolyon. Early conventions were held on Willie Gill's farm. Willie Gill and his sisters Emma and Jennie all went in the work in 1900. Emma and Jennie were 2 of the FIRST four sister workers to venture out in the group started by Wm. Irvine. Fred and Mary Ann Hughes emigrated to America in the early 1890's. Their relatives gave Wm. Irvine their address in North Dakota and he visited them in 1903. Fred and Mary Ann Hughes left their local church and professed in 1905 through Ralph Bullock and Tom Craig.
June 3. 1951 – Death of William Gill. The Overseer of England and possibly of all Europe, Willie Gill, passed away, aged eighty-eight. His funeral service was held at West Hanney, England. Willie, his sister Emma, and some other Workers are buried in the graveyard at St. James the Great Church in West Hanney, a five-minute walk from the Convention grounds at Oxfordshire (aka Berkshire), England. Jack Forbes replaced him.
Taken From A Tape Made by Hazel Hughes, 1971
Planned by Margaret Siegel
Father (Fred Hughes) and Mother (Mary Gill) moved to Cando [North Dakota] in 1893, (See Footnote #1) and they felt they should have some church service. So they and the neighbors started Sunday School in a school house. Then they felt they should have a church building. So the neighborhood got together and built a church. Later on that church was struck by lightning and burned down. So the neighbors got together and built a second church. The folks taught Sunday School. Father taught the Bible class and Mother the teenage class. But they weren't satisfied, and one time Mother asked the preacher, "What's wrong with me? I feel there's something more that I should know in understanding God." The preacher said, "Oh, you are a good wife and a good mother. You don't need to worry." About that time, in 1898, the gospel came to the relatives in Ireland and a number professed. (See Footnote #2)
A man by the name of William Irvine came. He had been preaching in Tipperary (See Footnote #3) and Jack Carroll had met him there. Jack Carroll was from Rathmolyon, from the same district as our Father and Mother [the Hughes and Gills] came from. (See Footnote #4) And he had heard the gospel and he felt he needed to be born again, so he got William Irvine to come to Rathmolyon. (See Footnotes #5 & #16) Dora Holland had heard it before that in 1895 in Tipperary; (but) there was no fellowship. She never was in a fellowship meeting for five years. (See Footnote #6)
But he [William Irvine] came to Rathmolyon and preached in a hall there. That hall is still standing, and Garrett and I were in that hall when we were back there. (See Footnote 5B) There were 40 people professed and 16 went in the work from that hall. (Footnote #5) That hall was just across the street from the old Episcopal Church, [Footnote #7] where our Mother's folks went to church, and also close by the house where our mother was born (Stone's house. Stone's daughter is in the work in U.S.) (Footnote #10B)
When we (Garrett and I) were back, we visited the old Episcopal Church [Footnote #7] where our Mother used to play the organ. We looked at the graves, and I noticed one grave was especially cared for, most of the graves were just in a weed patch. But this one grave was at the front of the church and very well cared for. So I went and looked at it, and it had a headstone with the name "Reverend Wetherell" on it. W-e-t-h-e-r-e-ll. Our Mother used to talk about Reverend Wetherell. He was the preacher when she taught Sunday School. Our cousin, Herbert Gill, and his wife were with me. They said that when these 40 people professed that the presiding elder had scolded Reverend Wetherell for letting those people go. For letting them go out of the church, that he should have kept them in. But Reverend Wetherell had said, "If people find something better, can you blame them for not drinking out of a stagnant pool?" The preacher himself had called his church a stagnant pool.
Well, the Vicar or preacher took me in through the church because of the background, knowing that Mother had gone there. The whole thing that he was interested in was showing the silver service that they used for communion. They had it since 1759 or something. And that was the whole thing that they were so proud of, this old silver service. This church was built by Captain Fowler, the land owner in that part of the country. He told them he would build a church, but they were not to start their service or ring the bell till he got there, even if he was late. He was the lord of that church. All around in that church were plaques and memorials of this Fowler and that Fowler and the other Fowler. The whole church building was dedicated to the Fowlers. He's dead now.
Well, these people came out of that church. Our Father's people, that would be your grandfather (Hughes), they lived about two miles away from there, but they were Methodist. They had been Methodists for many generations. One of Father's brothers professed at that time, Uncle Sam Hughes, and remained hearty till his death. He died at a Convention in New Zealand in 1925. He owned "Fox Hill", and there were many meetings in that home. (See Footnote #8)
I must tell you how Uncle Willie felt. That's Willie Gill. (See Footnote #9) He was a man that had gone in for race horses. He was living a kind of sporty life, but he wasn't satisfied. But when he heard the gospel, he felt that God could help him. He said he felt like a man standing in a tub and couldn't lift himself in the tub, but if somebody stronger came along, he could lift both him and the tub. So he yielded to the Lord. Then he made up his mind that he would go out in the work. He would sell his farm. That was the same gospel meetings in that building that he went to. (Footnote #5B) Those who had professed met together. Six of Mother's (Mary Gill) brothers and sisters. There were eight of them in the family and six of them met together. Mother was in this country. But one brother never professed, Garrett Gill. (See Footnote #10)
Uncle Willie made up his mind to go in the work, and he sold his farm "Ashmount" to his brother Harry. Harry paid a certain amount of money into the work till the farm was paid for. (See Footnote #11) [Insert by Eunice Hughes Krack on 1/17/92: Harry's son, Herbert and wife, kept the farm an open home until Herbert's death in 1985. Herbert was working with his nephew, John Swanton, in raising cattle, and he willed the home farm "Ashmount" at Rathmolyon to him] (See Footnote #12)
Then Aunt Emma Gill and Aunt Jennie (Gill) went in the work. First Aunt Emma went, then Aunt Jennie made up her mind. They're both dead now. (See Footnote #9) That's the history of Rathmolyon, the background of where the gospel came from to our home.
Then about 1904, I'm not sure on the date exactly, William Irvine came to our home near Cando (North Dakota). (See Footnotes #13 & 16) He was looking up people that he had addresses for from friends in Ireland. So Mother said to him, "I suppose you have a lot of people to look up?" and he said, "Yes, I find them most all living in sin." But Mother thought, "You are not finding us living in sin. We're good people." Then they sang hymns, and the first one he choose was "Amid the Trials Which I Meet." We sang that that night. And then Mother played the hymn, "The old fashioned religion t'was good enough for Mary and Joseph, it's good enough for me". William Irvine said, "That's all right if it's the right kind of religion; not every old fashioned religion, but to go back to the days of Jesus." Then he spoke on the 1st Psalm. The folks always asked the preachers to read a chapter and pray. So they asked him, and he spoke on the 1st Psalm. Father said afterwards, "That preacher got more out of that Psalm than I ever heard any other preacher get out of it." So they were impressed. But he just stayed overnight and the folks continued to go to church.
In the end of 1904, we had a new baby brother (Harry Faucett Hughes). (See Footnote #15 for full list of Hughes family members) But Mother took pneumonia and the doctor didn't think she would live. The baby and I and brother Joe were sent over to Ebners, because Mother was so sick and the house was small. So the three of us were sent to Ebners. Lincoln was allowed to stay at home, and Garrett was sent to another family, the Gehres, where there was nothing but girls, and he didn't enjoy himself. At the end of seven weeks the baby took pneumonia or bronchitis and died in that neighbor's home. It was a big house, but it was cold. Father came over when he knew the baby was sick, and he was there when the baby died. Then when he came home, Mother was still in bed, and she said, "How is the baby?" and Father had to tell her, "He is at rest." That was hard on her because she had pneumonia and was weak.
I'll have to tell you [about] the night that she took sick with pneumonia. Father came and called the three of us, Lincoln, Garrett and I, and said, "Come into Mama's room. She's very sick and I am afraid she is going to die." We stood around the end of the bed. Lincoln was about 14. I was 12 and Garrett 10 or maybe a little younger. Father leaned over and said to Mother, "Do you feel ready to die, Mary?" She whispered, "No." And even though we were young, we felt how serious it was to feel that she wasn't ready to die, and she had worked so hard in the church and taught Sunday School. She could hardly speak because of the pneumonia. The doctor came and he said, "If she has any relations in this country you had better send for them." Aunt Emma [Gill] had just come to New York to start [gospel] work in America. (See Footnote #14) So they sent for her and she came. Mother was in bed for many weeks. But after she was out of danger, Aunt Emma started meetings in a school house about five miles northwest of our home.
She was all alone, no companion, but she had meetings and the school house was just packed. When Father could leave Mother, he took the three of us [Lincoln, Hazel and Garrett] and Dick Nass to those Gospel meetings. We rode along in a spring wagon and team and Father enjoyed those meetings. That was the time that I first began to realize that I was not a Christian. The Lord spoke to me in those meetings. I don't know what she preached about, but the Lord spoke to me.
Garrett and I were sitting in a double seat, an old fashioned school seat. When they sang that hymn, "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be There." I couldn't honestly sing it [so] I sang, "When the roll is called up yonder, I'll not be there." Garrett heard me put that "Not" in and he looked at me kind of surprised, but that's how I felt--that I was not ready. Then Aunt Emma used to visit with us. She asked Lincoln after the meetings, "If you die what would happen to you?" "I'd go to hell," he said. He knew he wasn't saved. We got that much out of the meetings. She used to tell Joe the story about Joseph. He was three years old, something like that. He got mixed up, and when he told it back to her, he said, "My brothers took me and put me in a pit." Because he thought that Joseph in the Bible was himself.
Time went on. George Walker in Ireland was what they call a "lay preacher", just one of the congregation that would kind of speak when the preacher wasn't there. But he was sincere and he had a good job in Dublin in a store. When Uncle Willie told him how preachers went in the Bible, how they sold all, that was the desire. If you have a chance to visit with George Walker, he would tell you that. (See Footnote #16)
Time went on. Mother got stronger and when she was able to go back to church, she told them about how she had been near death's door, and how she felt she wasn't ready to meet God, but that now she wanted to do anything possible to please God. She felt that a lot of what she had done in church work was for her own glory and her own satisfaction, but now she wanted to do it as unto the Lord. She was really trying to seek the Lord. Some of the different people had comments – not kind either.
Aunt Emma had left to go preach at Bisbee [North Dakota]. She had a companion now. No one professed in those gospel meetings at the [local] school. There were a lot of young folks. I remember one night there were 90 people there. People sat on the coal pail, just anything. It was just jammed across. But Aunt Emma had gone to Bisbee and up by Mylo and up that way. She had a companion now, Maggie Row was her name. (See Footnote #16) She didn't continue in the work. She got married and her daughter lives out in British Columbia, out West somewhere, and when Garrett has been out there for conventions, he met this daughter and had a talk. This daughter knew that Maggie Row was one of the first workers in our home.
In the fall, Tom Craig and Ralph Bullock (See Footnote #16) came and they had a few meetings in Cando. It was thrashing time and they helped father some, but the folks couldn't go to the meetings because it was such a busy time. One night we [Lincoln, Hazel and Garrett] followed them. The two men [Tom and Ralph] walked down to the big slough. They had a boat there. We children tiptoed and followed and peeked over the bank to see what they were doing. They were sitting in the boat and were having a talk, wondering how best to help the folks. Then they came back and we children were sent to bed. But there were only curtains in the doorway so we could hear it all. They reasoned with the folks that they had to leave the church, if they were going to serve the Lord. They talked till 12:00 at night, and it wasn't easy for the folks. Finally, Mother said, "We feel you know your Bible and you're men of God. We'll do it because you say so, although we don't fully understand." It meant tears.
The next Sunday they went to church, and after Sunday School, Mother stood up and told that they were leaving the church because they felt it wasn't according to scripture. Oh! The people were horrified. Next Sunday, Father went alone, and all the preacher preached about was how terrible of Mrs. Hughes to say things like that and leave the church. But then Mother talked to the preacher, privately, and told him the reason she had for leaving the church.
There had been a chicken pie supper a short time before. She was making the chicken pies for the supper in the church and the two brother workers were there but she took the pies. When she was in that church and saw that supper and saw how the people carried on and so little love for God, she just was disappointed and disgusted, so she mentioned this to the preacher. He said, "I hope you didn't connect the chicken pie supper with Jesus cleansing the temple of the thieves." But there was a connection. He made the connection. And then he said to her, "You have always been a conundrum to me."
These two brothers, Tom and Ralph, came from Canada. There were no workers in North Dakota then. They came across the line from convention in Canada. This would be the fall of 1905. The first Sunday that we didn't go to Sunday School, Mother cried because all the children that she knew around us that didn't go to Sunday School were playing ball or going wild, and she wondered what to do with us. And then the thought came to her. If I follow this up, maybe some of my children will go in the work. She had other plans. She wanted us to have education and go on in the world, but then she decided that the will of God was to be done.
When Mother had been so sick, Father had said to her, he was trying to help her have courage to get better, get well. He said, "What would you like most of all? What would mean the most to you?" "Oh," she said, "If I could just see my Mother." It had been about 15 years since she'd seen any of her folks. So then they made plans to go back to Ireland. And they took all four of us children. Lincoln, Garrett, myself and Joe. That was in the fall of 1905. We went back in December and came back here in April. When they got back there, there were meetings in Father's brother's (Sam Hughes) home at "Fox Hill", and they saw what a fellowship meeting was like, and they saw fellowship meeting in Dublin, and they also saw a baptism. I saw a baptism. It was winter time and, of course, it's not so cold there, but Annie Hughes was baptized. They heated a boiler of water and poured it into a little hole in the creek and baptized her in January.
We came back in April, and when we came back Robert Darling was there. (See Footnote #16) And we thought he was a hired man when we got there, but we found out he was a worker. A saint man from Canada was doing chores at home, Bill Corcoran, while the folks were gone. And these workers, Tom Craig and Ralph Bullock, stayed in the home and worked around; and then this Robert Darling had come, so there were three workers there when we came back.
The folks did not go back to the church, but some of the church members came and said, "When are you coming back to church?" And Mother said, "We're not coming back." She said, "I have to look after my own children." They said, "A lot of good that will do you, to just teach your children at home." And they were real sarcastic.
Eunice, my sister, was born in July. Before the workers left, between April and July, I don't know just what time, Father asked if he could be baptized. So they took him down to a place where there was water by the railroad just east of the house, and we saw Father baptized. Mother couldn't be baptized because Eunice wasn't born yet.
Then they started in to try to teach us, to get us to read Bible stories and memorize verses. Mother called us and she asked us, "Why do you like to go to Sunday School?" Lincoln said, "I'm ashamed to tell you." But he said, "I like the story papers." Mother said, "We'll find some other papers for you." Then she asked me, "Why do you like Sunday School?" I said, "To see the other girls." Both of us knew that this was a very poor excuse for going to Sunday school. But they tried to teach us, and I wasn't very willing…I had a stiff neck, but I did what I was told. Then Tom Craig came, and he said to me, "When are you going to begin to live for God?" I was a little bit owley and I said, "I'm too young yet." Then he went to Nebraska that winter, and he wrote back and told about a girl that had professed that was 14, and he said in a letter, "Tell Hazel." I knew what he meant. This other girl was young and had professed, and I should know.
A year later we had special meetings in the granary. Mother was baptized, and Lincoln said he wanted to be baptized. Mother said, "He doesn't understand." But the workers talked to him and they felt he did understand. So Lincoln and Mother were baptized a year after your mother (Eunice) was born. That would be in 1907, and oh, that condemned me to think that Lincoln was going to be baptized. I was taking care of Eunice. She was a year old, and I just thought it was very nice to take her outside, out of the meeting. I was glad to have an excuse. Aunt Emma said to Mother, "Hazel should be sitting in that meeting. She shouldn't be going out with that baby." So she was "on to me."
That fall there was a convention in 1907 (See Footnote #17) There had been several in Manitoba. So Mother and Lincoln went up to convention. Convention lasted about three weeks those times. Mother had weaned Eunice from the bottle, and Father was going to look after her while Mother went to convention. So he gave her back the bottle. That was the easiest way to take care of her. Mother came home and Lincoln stayed at convention. Father said to me, "Wouldn't you like to go to convention?" I thought it would be nice to have a train ride. We had to go to Brandon on the train and stay overnight in the hotel, and then take the train to Sidney. But I knew Father wanted me to go on, so I said I'd go. I had just started High School.
I'll have to tell you this too. I was working for my board in Cando, no cars, and I worked in a home and then I came home Friday night. This one Friday night, when I came home, Mother said, "You'll have to look after the younger ones, Joe and Eunice, because we're going to a meeting up by Zion." "Oh Mother," I said, "I've just come home, and I am lonesome for you and you go and leave me." She said, "We're going to that meeting." I cried a little, but they went to that meeting, and I stayed home with the children. They only had a single buggy…room only for two or three.
We went to Sidney to convention, Father and I. I sat in three meetings and at close of the third meeting, I stood up and said, "I want to live for God." I didn't know that they tested the meeting. I just was so troubled and desperate I could see if I didn't begin to live for the Lord, I'd be lost. So I stood up and said, "I want to live for God"; and then Maggie Sandford, an older woman from North Dakota, stood up and said the same thing. So that was my beginning.
Garrett professed at Sidney two years later. The five of us had little meetings every Sunday. We used to have them at 2:00 because that was the hour we used to go to Sunday School. And at first when we were having a little meeting and a neighbor would come, we would think, "We'll wait till they go away."

Footnotes added by Cherie Kropp
Footnote #1: Mary Ann Gill Hughes was the third child born in the Gill family of nine (9) children, who lived in Rathmolyon, Ireland. She was born October 5, 1864 and was baptized November 30, 1864 in the Church of Ireland. Her parents were Garrett Gill and Ann Gill (nee Piggott). Mary Ann Gill and Fred A. Hughes were married on February 25, 1891. They emigrated to America, possibly in 1892. (Unable to find Ellis Island record for them) In 1905, they left their local church in North Dakota and started worshipping in their home.
Footnote #2: Their relatives in Ireland who professed were the Gills, Mary Ann's family; and a brother of Fred by the name of Sam Hughes. In Rathmolyon, Wm. Irvine and John Long held meetings for the Faith Mission for three weeks, from October 10 through 31, 1897. In Accounts of the Early Days, Goodhand Pattison wrote: "...from Nenagh's first visit, William [Irvine] went to Rathmoylon through the Carroll's introduction, where as you know he had another very successful mission, getting hold of nearly all the best type of character in the place, including the Gills, Carrolls, Hastings, Winters and others, and from there back to Nenagh a second time, after which he booked for here." [Cloughjordan].
Jack Jackson stated at Willie Gill's funeral on June 5, 1951, that by his calculations, it was 53 years and 8 months since Willie and some others at Rathmolyon made their choice saying, "Lord what will Thou have me to do?" This dates back to October, 1897.
Footnote #3: It was in August, 1897, that Wm. Irvine preached the Nenagh Mission in Tipperary County, Ireland.
Footnote #4: Rathmolyon is located about 25 miles Northwest of Dublin, Ireland, in County Meath. This is where Wm. Irvine preached the October, 1897 Mission.
Footnote #5: According to John Long, "... a young man named Jack Carroll...had a brother, Bill Carroll, who was a steward at Captain Fowlers, Rathmolyon, County Meath. Through their instrumentality they got the use of the School House in Rathmolyon for a mission for William Irvine, where forty persons got converted; most of them afterwards gave up their situations to go fully on the Lord's work." (From: John Long's Journal, September, 1897). Cherie Kropp toured this school house in August, 2004, and saw the room that would have been used for the gospel meeting, and took photographs.
Garrett Hughes, son of Mary Ann and Fred Hughes, brother of Hazel Hughes, and also a U.S.A. Overseer (deceased), reported a similar account of what he termed as "the beginning" at the October 6, 1987, funeral service for Erling Omdal, held in Eagle Bend, MN: "Ninety years ago, a letter came from Ireland. We heard about those with no home, no name, etc. Forty people made their choice. Sixteen went out in the work - that was the beginning...There is not a country not open to the gospel now. It is the most marvelous thing ever to happen." (Note: 1987 minus 90 years = 1897, the year of the Rathmolyon Mission.)
Footnote #5B: The hall where the meetings were held was demolished around 1990. It was located a 100 yards from the Church of Ireland, and was known by the names, "The Meeting Hall," "The Old Gospel Hall," "The Lecture Hall" and "The Fowler Hall," which was it's most commonly recognized name in earlier years. It was built by the owner of the Estate where Bill Carroll worked, The Fowler Estate of Rahinstown.
Footnote #6: Sydney Holt, nephew of Dora Holland, stated in a letter "Time ran out, so we didn't drive 70 miles on south to Kilrush where Aunt Dora (Holland) met Wm. Irvine and his companion right after they came from Scotland in 1896. She was in her early twenties and working as a tutoress for a wealthy family at the time. She didn't have much fellowship until she started in the work in 1902." (June 27, 1985 Letter) In 1896, Wm. Irvine was preaching with the Faith Mission, with whom he was associated for 6 years, from 1895 to 1901.
Dora Holland is credited with being THE FIRST PERSON TO PROFESS. An extract from a letter written in 1966 by her brother, Harry Holland reads: " My sister, Dora, was 90 on January 1st. She was the FIRST PERSON TO PROFESS in Ireland, but that was before the Gills and the Carrolls decided and before George Walker decided. That was some years before I left Ireland...in 1899." Click Here for more about Dora Holland.
Footnote #7: The "Episcopal Church" referred to above is actually the Church of Ireland, or Anglican. In the USA, it is called Episcopal. So the old "Episcopal Church" where Mary Ann Gill played the organ, is actually the Church of Ireland in Rathmolyon village, which was built in 1797. The address is:
St Michael's and All Angels,
Church of Ireland,
Rathmolyon,
Enfield,
Footnote #8: Fox Hill is a beautiful period home, still standing, and in excellent repair. In the year 2004, it is occupied by Sam and Ethel Hughes, and the address is: Fox Hill, Rathmolyon, Co. Meath, Ireland.
Footnote #9: Willie Gill was Mary Ann Gill's brother, and Emma Gill and Jennie Gill were two of her sisters. Willie was born in 1863, and died in 1951, aged 88, and both he and Emma are buried in a churchyard in West Hanney, Oxfordshire, England. He is pictured on the Bicycle Boys photo taken in October, 1899. Willie Gill was the first from the Rathmolyon mission to go into the work; and he was one of nine brother workers to go out in the work in 1900. Reportedly, he was the Overseer of the 2x2 sect in the British Isles from 1914 until his death.
Emma Gill and Jennie Gill were two of the first four sister workers to go out, and they entered the work in 1900. Emma died in 1945, aged 74 and is buried at West Hanney, Oxfordshire, England. Jennie died in 1939, aged 63, and is buried at Bletchley near Milton Keynes, England.
Footnote #10: The above Account by Hazel Hughes states there were eight children in the Gill family; however, church records show nine children were baptized into the Church of Ireland in Rathmolyon. The family members were:
Father: Garrett Gill (born 1830, Edenderry, Co. Offaly, Ireland)
Mother: Ann Gill (nee Piggott) (born 16th February 1834; Baptised on 9th March 1834
1. Susan Jane; born 14th February 1862, baptized 17th March 1862
2. William John; born 12th June 1863, baptized 8th July 1863
3. Mary Ann; born 5th October 1864, baptized 30th November 1864
4. Garrett (Junior); born 19th February 1866, baptized 6th April 1866
5. Sarah Ellinor; born 25th December 1867, baptized 19th February 1868
6. Philip Henry; born 11th October 1869, baptized 16th November 1869
7. Emma Emily; born 9th October 1871, baptized 6th January 1872
8. Paul Fawcett; born 23rd April 1874, baptized 7th June 1874
9. Janet Goodwin (Jennie); born 24th February 1876, no recorded baptism date.
No baptism date recorded for Janet Goodwin (Jennie).
Garrett Gill built "Ashmount" around 1872 on property he owned. The address of the Gill Family home from 1872 until 1895 was:
Ashmount, (Click for Photo)
Kill,
Co Meath,
Footnote #10B: In 1895-96, Garrett Gill Senior bought a house and farm from John Fox at Dalystown, Castlerickard approximately 6 miles from Rathmolyon, where he moved with all his family, except Philip Henry (Harry), who was married. The original family home in the village of Rathmolyon where Willie and Mary Ann were born, as well as the farm at "Ashmount" became the property of Willie Gill, as well as a farm in Rathmolyon. This farm is where the FIRST two Conventions took place, in 1899 and 1900.
Footnote #11: Willie Gill's brother, Philip Henry, called "Harry" married Lilian and bought Willie's farm. They had a son Herbert who had no children; a daughter named Mary Stewart and a daughter named Olive (Gill) Swanton. She died age 104 on February 1, 2010, mother of John Swanton.
Footnote #12: Herbert's wife died and they had no children so he willed Ashmount to his nephew, John Swanton and he and his wife, Joyce, are the current owners and live at Ashmount (2004). Cherie Kropp visited with Mr. & Mrs. Swanton in August, 2004 and toured the home and grounds, and took photographs.
Footnote #13: The first worker the Hughes ever met was Wm. Irvine, the founder of the sect. Most likely, Wm. Irvine was the first worker to go to North Dakota. A discrepancy exists as to who Fred and Mary Ann Hughes professed through. An account by George Gittins states that it was through Wm. Irvine, while Hazel Hughes in the above account, states they professed through Jack Craig and Ralph Bullock.
Footnote #14: According to the Ellis Island records, Emma Gill came to America, along with seven other workers. They departed from Liverpool, Eng., U.K. on November, 1904, on the Ship Oceanic, and arrived in New York on December 8, 1904. The Ellis Island records show: Emma Gill, 33 yrs of age, Single, Irish, Residence, Meath.

If a tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm it means that a 3 metre column of water can be placed on its surface before any drops will show through the underside of the fabric. (The Ministry of Defence in the UK classifies fabric with a hydrostatic head of 800mm+ as waterproof).
There are many other factors which influence the performance of tent in tough weather conditions. Coleman use the latest technology and a rigorous testing regime to ensure that we keep you protected at all times - whatever the weather.
