Thomas Crawford Thosburn was born of Scoth-Irish parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 27, 1827, and one of nine brothers and sisters of unusual character and personality, entered the United States voluntary military service from Ohio as an enlisted man in 1862 and was mustered out of the service with the rank of Major at the end of the war between the states, in 1865. Major Thoburn’s brother, Colonel Joseph Thoburn, was killed in action at the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia, in 1864, while in command of the First Division of the Eighth Army Corps in the United States Army. Another brother, Bishop James Mills Thoburn, was the renowed Methodist missionary leader, and a sister, Miss Isabella Thoburn, was a missionary teacher and founder of the Methodist College for Women at Lucknow, India.
The parents of this distinguished family in the annals of
Methodism were Ulster folk, Matthew and Jane Crawford Thoburn of County Antrim, Ireland, who emigrated to America in August, 1825. The family surname "Thorburn", which in turn was derived from the name of a remote Norse ancestor "Thorbjorn" who gave up a seafaring life to settle in Scotland. Jane Crawford Thoburn had joined the Wesleyan Church in Ireland in 1815, as a girl of sixteen years, and for the remainder of her life, a period of fifty-five years, was a zealous, efficient, and self-sacrificing Christian in the work of the Church. Settling in a rural district in the Pittsburg, Conference,
Pennsylvania, the Thobnrns’ home was known far and wide for its warm, cordial welcome always extended Christian workers and for its genial atmosphere and its influence for good in establishing the Methodist Church on a sure foundation in that region.

The National Christmas Tree 2011

Image by Princess Stand in the Rain
The 2011 National Christmas Tree is a 26-foot Colorado blue spruce which was planted in March on the Ellipse, a park that lies between the White House and the National Mall. Strong winds in February toppled the previous tree, which stood in the park since 1978, so this is the first Christmas for this tree. It is surrounded by a "train garden" that goes entirely around the tree and with separate train gardens within the space.
