Täytyypä myöntää että jätin lukematta ja tutkimatta tuon jutun taustat, ja nyt vasta huomasin että itseasiassa kyse ei olekaan Buffalo-Billistä, William F. Codystä vaan hänen "pojastaan".
Sinänsä mielenkiintoinen juttu sadan vuoden takaisesta showbisneksestä:
| Lainaus: | "Samuel Cody" was born March 6, 1867 in Birdsville, Texas, and he married Maude Lee (age 17), daughter of Joseph Lee, when he was twenty-one (21) years of age. Their marriage took place in 1888. There were no civil records showing they divorced. (2) Samuel was said to have married Lela Blackburne Davis, daughter of John Blackburne Davis. Lela was fifteen (15) years older than Samuel. There was no record of this second marriage. On February 1895 in Basle, Switzerland, Lela gave birth to her and Samuel’s only child , Frank Cody.
Meanwhile: William Frederick Cody married Louise Frederici (of St. Louis) on March 6, 1866, just twenty-two years before his so-called "son" married. There are varying views on his reason for marrying Louise. Apparently Louise threatened to sue Bill for breech of promise, a serious issue in his time. He claims he spoke of marriage only in jest. Despite this they married and had children.
Apparently, most people never knew enough about the real William Cody to see through the Samuel Cody deception.
WILLIAM F. CODY'S REAL SON
William Frederick Cody's son, Kit Carson Cody, was born on November 26, 1870. Kit died April 20, 1876, of scarlet fever. His death brought great pain to his father and mother. Bill never got over the death of his only son, and his one daughter, Ora Maude Cody. Both were taken from him as young children.
Adam Forepaugh died in January 1890, in New York, of influenza. After this Samuel “Cody” had to find a new group to join. His new boss would then be Albert Newton Ridgeley.
Apparently Samuel Cody told everyone he was the son of William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody. This impressed many people including Maude. After a while they had a falling out. They had no children.
WILLIAM FREDERICK CODY'S LAWSUIT:
On April 15, 1890, Albert Newton Ridgeley was given a writ served by William Frederick Cody regarding the use of the terms “Wild West” in the new show that Samuel Cody was part of. Apparently William thought that he coined the “Wild West Show” concept and thus it was copyrighted to him. Ridgeley began his show after the death of Forepaugh. Bill Cody was never given satisfaction regarding their use of "Wild West Show" on their marquee, and many think that this was the reason Bill never persued the use of his name by Cowdery. Bill could not afford the legal costs.
Members of his show were billed as “Captain and Miss Cody.” They were billed as the son and daughter of William F. Cody and they earned most of their fame in England and Europe. Since few Englishmen knew Buffalo Bill Cody’s son, Cody, had died, or that Cody’s daughter, Irma was then only nine years old, the fraud continued.
"Colonel Cody" (birth name Franklin Samuel Cowdery), the imposter, then had a love affair with Lela Blackburne Davis, daughter of John Blackburne Davis. They never were legally married in England, as Samuel claimed, and they moved to Texas shortly afterwards. Samuel Cody's second marriage was as much of a deception as his name.
Lela (b. 1852) was married first to Edward King [of Chelsea, England] on January 1873. Lela was then twenty-one (21) years of age. Lela and Edward’s children were:
(1)Elizabeth “Lizzy” King was born in December 1873. Her second husband was Arthur Whitehall. He died August 1906. Arthur and Elizabeth (King) Whitehall's Children were:
(1)Leon Whitehall was born in London, England, in September 1879.
(2)Viva Whitehall was born, in Brighton, in August 1882. He married Eva Copeland in August 1913, and they were on their honeymoon, in London, England, when Vivian’s step-father died.
(3)Leonie Whitehall
(4)Joyce Whitehall
(2)Edward King was born in October 1875.
Lela’s children joined her and Samuel in their Cody Family Act. Elizabeth and Edward soon were sharpshooters.
QUEEN VICTORIA:
Meanwhile, in 1887, William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody performed for Queen Victoria.
Lela was fifteen (15) years older than Samuel. Her family had connections to the Royal Family. Her father, John Blackburne Davis, provided horses for the Royal Stud. The in 1890, after twenty years in the monarch’s service, Lela’s sister Mercedes’ (nee Blackburne Davis) husband, Robert Glassby, succeeded Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm as official sculptor to Queen Victoria. Victoria did not like that her sculptor’s sister-in-law left her husband for an “American Wild West Cowboy.” Queen Victoria denied "Samuel Cody" and his family the right to perform for her because of their arrangement.
FRANK CODY:
On February 1895 in Basle, Switzerland, Lela gave birth to her and Samuel’s only child, Frank Cody. She was now age 43. Their son, Frank Cody [age 18], would later join the 41st Squadron of the Royal Flying Corp (established on May 13, 1912) in Farnsworth, England, in August 2, 1913. Shortly after joining the Corp, he would be fighting in World War I (1914–1918). Frank's military service would begin just five days before his father’s death. By April 1, 1918, the Royal Flying Corp's name was changed to "The Royal Air Force."
Royal Air Force in 1914.
Franklin Samuel (Cody) Cowdery died on Thursday, August 7, 1913 in a plane crash (in his “Flying Cathedral“) at age 46. Samuel left no will. His estate went into probate for seven years. Samuel's money went to his first wife, Maude (nee Lee) Cody. She received 1,000 English pounds.
Lela [now 61 years of age], his second wife, and Samuel’s only child Frank Cody, received nothing! There was no proof of a marriage between Samuel and Lela, in England, or Samuel's divorce from his first wife Maude.
Franklin Samuel Cowdery’s siblings received 250 English pounds each. Amanda, Martha [nee Cowdery] Meckel, and Elizabeth were all recipients, while Samuel's brother Charles Couwdery is not mentioned in the probate settlement.
The thing that Franklin Samuel Cowdery ("Cody") won the most fame for was his airplanes and his experimentation with flying.
THE DEATH OF WILLIAM F. CODY:
William Frederick Cody died on January 10, 1917 [age 71], four years after his imposter son, at the home of his sister, May Cody Decker, in Denver, Colorado. Bill was buried on Lookout Mountain, near Denver, Colorado. |

Mutta ase kuitenkin (oli) aito, ja vieläpä ilmeisesti tehdas"customoitu", joten harmi ettei kenelläkään ole ollut järkeä estää sen turmelemista. |
