 Honor Lilbush Wingfield Tracy (1913-1989)

 

 

Life

 

Honor Lilbush Wingfield Tracy was born on October 19, 1913 in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England, the daughter of a dental surgeon Horace Ernest Humphrey Tracy and artist Chrystabel May Clare Miller. She had one sister and two brothers. She was educated privately and at the Grove School in London, Madchenscochschule Dresden Germany and she spent two years at the Sorbonne studying French civilization. In later years, she lived much of her life in rural Ireland, in Achill Island, County Mayo. She was married in 1938 to Rudolph C Liebmann, whom she divorced and had no children. She died 13th June 1989 in a nursing home in Oxford, England, 75 years of age.

 

She started her career as an assistant in a London publishing house. She then became Foreign reader to Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer’s London office. During the war she did intelligence work in the British Women's Auxiliary Air Force from 1939 to 1941, rising to sergeant, and was a specialist on Japan in London's Ministry of Information from 1941 to 1945.

 

After the war, she spent two years in Dublin where she was worked for Sean O'Faolain, subsequently her lover, on the Irish Digest. She was also an editorial assistant with The Bell. In 1947, she went to France and then roamed East Europe for the Observer. In 1948 she went to Japan for eight months and on her return to Ireland wrote ‘Kakemono’, an account of her travels there. She then became a newspaper correspondent in Dublin.

 

She was a correspondent for The Observer, then The Sunday Times and was a longtime contributor of talks and features for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). She was a renowned travel writer, columnist and novelist, who satirized Irish and English society. Her best novels were hailed by reviewers for wittily dissecting the nonsense in which people allow themselves to be immersed. With astringent mockery, she revelled in lampooning false pretensions, snobbery and intellectual muddles.

 

Reviewers and readers repeatedly praised Miss Tracy's incisive travel accounts, particularly those from Japan, Spain and the West Indies, and her newspaper columns in The Sunday Times of London, The Daily Telegraph and other papers.

 

In 1950, she returned to Ireland, and on her leaving after six months, the Irish Times “An Irishman’s Diary”, described her as “a nice person, full of intelligence and with a delicious sense of humour” and also described her as “a Roman catholic of Irish extraction”. During her stay, she had been writing articles for the Sunday Times. The article concludes with the hope that she will not write a book about the Irish.

 

In April 1954, she won considerable damages from The Sunday Times for impugning her journalistic integrity in conceding a libel case passed on her true reportage on the number of priests in Ireland. The newspaper had published her account of a Canon O'Connell's attempt to raise funds for a parish house in Doneraile, Co. Cork. O'Connell took exception and the Sunday Times printed an apology, paying £750 to charity. Tracy in turn sued the Sunday Times for damaging her professional integrity by acting without her permission. She eventually won £3,000 and costs in the London high court. Justice Glyn-Jones instructed an English jury that:

 

"Her views were that there were too many priests, and that they lived on a scale which was quite disproportionately high, having regard to the comparative poverty of the majority of their parishioners; and that, in fact, too much money was being taken from the pockets of the poor to pay for so many priests to live on the standard on which they did live." (8/4/54)

 

In August 1954, in a portrait piece in the Irish Times, she was described as “a brilliant linguist (she speaks French, German, Russian, Italian and some Japanese)”. The article also states that “Nobody can deny her courage. It takes some courage for an individual journalist to take the financial and professional risk of launching legal action against a great newspaper.”

 

Her specialty in more than a dozen novels was mocking English-Irish antagonisms. Her third novel, ‘The Prospects Are Pleasing’ (1958), included this exchange between Tommy, an Irishman, and Felix, an Englishman:

 

''No wonder your empire is crumbling,'' Tommy said. ''Empires do,'' replied Felix cheerfully. ''It's a little way of theirs. Be glad you never got one.'' ''Who says we didn't?'' said Tommy angrily. ''Our empire is spiritual and intellectual and extends all over the world. It existed already when you fellows were running about painted blue. Yours was a little tinpot affair of guns and Bibles and trade.''

 

In an interview, Miss Tracy remarked, “If something interests, pleases or amuses me, I imagine it may do the same for other people and I try to pass it on. Also, I have an orderly mind, and writing is a sort of tidying up and clarifying of life.”

 

Harold H. Watts, quoted in the 1972 book ‘Contemporary Novelists’, concluded that “her novels are designed to be read with a glass of sherry in the hand, preferably in the company of persons as basically sensible as the ideal reader of Miss Tracy's work.”

Norman Tucker Tracy (Great Britain) v. United Mexican States

15 February 1930 VOLUME V pp. 90-95

Nations Unies - United Nations 2006

1. The facts on which the British Government in their memorial base the claim are the following:

Mr. Tucker Tracy was employed as manager of the Compania Minera Jesûs Maria y Anexas S.A. Mines and Hacienda at San José de Gracia, Sin., Mexico. On the 16th May, 1913, a .303 Winchester carbine with 100 cartridges and on the 30th May a .3 Luger automatic pistol with 100 cartridges were delivered personally to Melquides Melendez under threat of search and confiscation. It was impossible to obtain a receipt for them. In May 1913 the Constitutionalist forces occupied the mine after the Federal forces which had been garrisoning the town had been dislodged, and disposed of a quantity of precipitate of cyanide, valued at $ 35,000. They were obliged by Federal troops to evacuate the place after a few days. On the 3rd June, 1913, when the Federal garrison announced its intention of withdrawing from the town for the second time, Mr. Tracy considered it prudent to remove himself and his family to a place of greater safety. When he returned in January 1914 he discovered that a saddle mule, three horses and equipment, part of the household effects and almost all the clothing had been lost.

At the end of November 1913 the mine was seized with the aid of military forces by persons commissioned by the Constitutionalist Government of the State of Sinaloa and in February 1914 the administration was taken over by the Constitutional Federal Government. There was no reason in accordance with the civil laws operating at the time that might be offered as a pretext for the seizure of the Company's properties. There was no previous warning nor civil legal proceedings prior to the seizure. The property was returned to the Company on the 1st September, 1916. Mr. Tracy was refused permission to continue his employment as manager of the mine during the time the Government authorities had control. He consequently lost the salary which he would have earned during this period (annex 4). Information of the salary which Mr. Tracy would have earned is given in the affidavi t signed by Miguel Tarriba, then president of the Company (annex 2).

The amount of the claim is 510 Mexican pesos for the objects and animals which he lost, plus 14,403.68 dollars, United States currency, for the loss of salary, and interest...

Miguel Ángel Velázquez Tracy (1935 - 2016)

 

The last brushstroke of Miguel Ángel Velázquez Tracy

One of the symbols of the culture of Mocorito dies, a municipality once known as the 'Athens of Sinaloa'

Mocorito had a great time, the boom came with the train and with the train he left, but in those years of halves of the 20th Century, the people with dreams of greatness were born poets, painters and great musicians, and among the muralists Miguel Ángel Velázquez Tracy left his mark.

Juan Avilés Ochoa, director of the Municipal Institute of Culture of Culiacán and originally from Mocorito, recalled the roots of the recently deceased painter, creator of the shield of that municipality that saw him born.

"Micky Velázquez, as he is known here in Mocorito by members of his generation and those of us who are later, was the son of one of the most deeply rooted families here. He belongs to the Velázquez family who were public servants for a long time in the City Council of Mocorito, "he recalled.

For the Tracy, he said, comes from a character who came to Mocorito during El Porfiriato, an Englishman named Norman Tracy who came with a mining company, relatives of the mother of the Sinaloan sculptor and muralist.

The artist's mother, Olalla Tracy, was a teacher, poet and shared good manners classes, and her father, Miguel Ángel Velázquez, of family roots in the region.

"Micky studied with people representing muralism, sculpture and painting in Mexico. He studied with important plastic arts figures such as Erasto Cortés, who is one of the top representatives of the plastic arts in Mexico, studied sculpture with Federico Canessi, who in turn collaborated with Siqueiros ".

He emphasized his passage through Difocur as assistant director (now Sinaloan Institute of Culture) at the end of the 70s, where he also taught some Plastic Arts workshops.

Among other things, he stressed, is the creator of the shields of Mocorito and Badiraguato, created in 1974 and 1978, respectively.

"His work is present in many states of the Republic, large-scale works in both painting and sculpture that were its strengths in Michoacán, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Mexico City, Monterrey and even in the United States, I have reference."

In Mocorito, he recalled, he was awarded the Granito de Oro Award for his outstanding work in art.

Although he did not have the opportunity to talk with him, Avilés Ochoa met some of his children and relatives who lived in his hometown.

Painter and sculptor. He was born in Mocorito, Sin. He studied with teachers Federico Canessi, Erasto Cortez Juárez and Nicolás Moreno. He is a founding member of Northwest cultural and plastic associations. In 1977 he was deputy director of Development and Regional Culture of the Government of the State of Sinaloa. In 1978 he directed the Plastic Arts Workshop of Difocur. He has given conferences and courses on history and art in various forums of the Republic. His first solo exhibition, El reto, dates from 1955 at the Asociación Civil Prometeo in Culiacán. He has made around fifty individual exhibitions in different art forums and participated in multiple collective exhibitions. One of the most recent was made in 1996, called Painting mural 96 in the Gallery of Mexican Art in Guadalajara, Jal. He has large-scale work in painting, sculpture and picto-sculpture in cities of Sinaloa, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Quintana Roo, Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City. Also in the United States and Canada.

Harry Hamilton Tracy, recorded as a gold and stick mounter as well as well as a gold and silver worker, continued a business, which was begun by Thomas Walker. The latter was listed in 1841 as a jeweller and whip mounter based at Buttesland Street, Hoxton New Town. Thomas Walker’s business then became known as ‘U. & T. Walker’, which was continued by Thomas Walker (probably junior), recorded at Finsbury London in 1885. On the latter’s death the firm was taken over by Henry Tracy who was recorded at 64 Moorgate Street London in 1897 and at Foskett Works, Shacklewell Lane in Dalston as a manufacturer in ivory. Following Henry Tracy’s death the business was continued by Harry Hamilton Tracy, who worked firstly under the name of ‘Henry Tracy’ (1890 - circa 1904) and thereafter up until 1916 as ‘Henry Tracy & Sons’, when he was partnered by Ronald Wingfield Tracy (who was presumably his son).

George Wingfield Tracy [this is an error that he was the brother of Richard Thomas Tracy]

Sketcher and gold-digger, was born in Ireland, a son of Thomas Tracy, gentleman, and Elizabeth, née Coghlan. He presumably came to Adelaide with his brother, Dr Richard Thomas Tracy (1826-74), and accompanied him when Richard formed a small party (including James Bonwick) to travel to Victoria from Adelaide on news of the discovery of gold. Castlemaine was the first field they prospected and George Wingfield's only known art works are four small, naive paintings of the Castlemaine goldfields: My Tent, 1852, Diamond Gully, 1853, McIvor, 1854 and Anderson's Creek, New Caledonia 1855 (Pioneers and Old Residents Association, Castlemaine). Although Richard Tracy soon gave up the life of a digger, George Wingfield obviously persisted for some time.

By 1841, John and Mary with their eight children, have moved to Upper Brook Street, Ipswich and in 1851 Samuel was a 20 year old student living on Whitton Road, Ipswich with two of his sisters, Mary and Jessie and may have gone to Norwich in 1854 from where he sought election as Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

As well as architecture, he designed church furnishings for Cox and Co in the mid-1860s and did the plans for the restoration of Whatlington church, Surrey in 1862, a church of which he did an oil painting. In 1871 he emigrated to Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, where in the same year the Canadian census shows him living alone with his brother, a farmer. He last appears in the RIBA membership list in 1872 and the only person in Canada of the name in the 1881 census was living at Niagara. If the same, he had not prospered, for he is described as a labourer.

CAPT. JOHN TRACY.

Of the many public-spirited citizens of whom Lambton County can boast none, perhaps, has done more for the advancement of his section or is more widely known and beloved than Capt. John Tracy, of Enniskillen township. His life has been spent in many lands and he has seen many vicissitudes of fortune, but through it all he has remained essentially the same loyal, upright and useful citizen. He was born near London, in March, 1823, son of John and Mary (Fife) Tracy, natives of England and Scotland, respectively, who lived and died in England.

Capt. John Tracy was the eldest son, and was educated for the medical profession. After finishing his course in medicine he immigrated to Australia, and there was put in charge of the gold fields under the British government, a position which he retained three years. When the Crimean war broke out he received a commission in an Osmanli cavalry regiment and served in it to the close of the war in 1856. In December of that year he started for Canada, by way of Port land and Montreal, and then pressed on to Lambton County, where he bought land in Enniskillen township, and began to make his home. While developing his farm he also practiced medicine gratuitously among his neighbors, and was thus occupied until the discovery of oil in this section. Then he moved at once to Petrolia, and acted as land commissioner for various agencies in Canada and the United States. Such employment lasted twelve years, during which period he was a number of times elected to a place on the council of Petrolia, besides acting as school trustee. He was likewise one of the founders of the English Church in Petrolia, and was not only warden for some time but also filled other positions in the church. During his residence in Petrolia Capt. Tracy was instrumental in bringing the branch railroad as well as in securing many other improvements in the place. About 1880 he returned to his farm in Enniskillen township, and there engaged in oil producing on his own account, while he also leased and worked other lands near, and this has been his main interest ever since one. too, in which he has been very successful.

Capt. Tracy has been twice married, the first time to Miss Jane Cox, a native of England, who died in Petrolia, in 1868. No children were born to this union. His second marriage was to Miss Caroline Ramsden, daughter of John Ramsden, who came from Yorkshire, England, and settled at Blenheim, Kent County. The daughter was born and reared in the Canada home. She has been the mother of five children, all of whom received a fair education, mainly in the public schools of Petrolia. Agnes, the deceased wife of William Webb, of Lambton County, left no children. Mary married Simon Baker, an Englishman, and they with their two children, Caroline and John P., reside in Enniskillen township, where Mr. Baker is engaged in the oil business. John grew up in the Petrolia home and still resides in that town; he married Miss Josephine Bailey, of Lambton County, and they have two daughters, Dolly and Lucy C. Isabella, the fourth child of Capt. Tracy, married Thomas B. Mackey, and they reside with her father. Humphrey W. married Miss Mary Ennis, of Enniskillen township, and they have two children, George L. and Jessie May.

In his political ideas, Capt. Tracy has always been one of the old Conservative party. With a keen interest in the public welfare, he has always been active in municipal affairs, and during his residence in Petrolia held many official positions of trust and responsibility. In fraternal circles also he is a prominent figure and began his connection with such organizations before he left England. He joined the Masonic order there and belongs to the Grand Lodge, being one of the leading Masons of Petrolia, and has been the representative of his lodge from its organization, as well as being District Past Deputy Grand. In religious belief the Captain and his family are members of the Church of England in Petrolia, in which he has always taken an active interest, and where he has held many positions. For many years he has been one of the leading citizens of the township and of Petrolia and has made many warm friends throughout that section. None stands higher than he in the general esteem, and he is loved by all who know him for his kindly, genial nature. He does conveyancing for the convenience of his neighbors, and devotes most of his leisure to reading and drawing, being remarkably well read and quite accomplished as an artist. He has a number of oil paintings which he himself executed.
