Notes:

Wayne and Cindy met about 1963 when she and her sister, Marie came to the home of Willie and Anna Bishop just up the road from where Wayne lived. She came with her Uncle Georgie and Aunt Vivian to help paint the roof of the Bishop home. Georgie was Cindy's great uncle on her mother's side and Vivian was the daughter of Willie Bishop. During the painting hours Cindy remembers Wayne coming up and being introduced and she MAY remember looking down the road some to see if he was coming back. She also remembers that week that Anna made some of the best homemade biscuits and apple butter that she ever tasted! Around January 15, 1965 Wayne came to Cindy's home in Wakefield with 2 of his friends to ask her two older sisters to go to a dance that night. The way the story goes is Cindy's mother said that they could go only if Cindy could go with them! (Picture that!! Her mother must have had a very bad day and wanted them all out of the house!!) Cindy ended up going with Wayne to a dance in Ivor, Va. as a triple date when she was a mere 14!! They danced a couple of times, kissed once and the next morning Wayne did not even remember her name!! But he did ask his friends and the rest is history. They dated on and off - MOSTLY ON for the next four and half years. In 1967 Wayne began 4 years in the United States Navy and a lot of their dating was through letters. Wayne gave Cindy a diamond for her High School graduation in May of 1968 and they married a year later in the Wakefield Christian Church just up the street from her home. They lived in San Diego, California for two short stays while Wayne was stationed there in the Navy. When he was discharged they settled in the house that his parents built - the house where Wayne lived until his family of four brothers and sisters traded houses with his Grandmother Chappell just across the field. Wayne and Cindy have lived in this same house on the Chappell Farm in Surry County and at present they have spent 37 happy years there raising two children and now enjoying two grandchildren with one on the way. Wayne is now retired after 38 years with Honeywell (before was Allied Chemical, Allied Signal) and enjoys his days farming, gardening and fixing up things on the farm.

Thomas married BAILEY Cynthia Lee on 10 Jun 1969 in Wakefield, VA (Wakefield Christian Ch). Cynthia (daughter of BAILEY James Edward and EDWARDS Ethel Winifred) was born on 11 Aug 1950 in Richmond, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Cynthia - known to all as Cindy - grew up in Wakefield, Virginia with her Mom, Dad
and three sisters. Her Dad worked very hard in the 1950's and 60's to raise four girls!
Cindy was the third of the girls having two sisters 2 and 3 years older and one, 10 years
younger. She remembers her Dad going to get the groceries and always bringing back a bag of penny candy for them. Her dad wanted a boy very much and Cindy was the closest that he came to getting one. She remembers going to work sometimes with him as a carpenter and fishing with him which was one of his favorite pastimes. Her dad's friends and many in Wakefield called Cindy "Little Brock". (Brock being her Dad's nickname) She also remembers that her dad often MADE the three older girls go out to clean fish. He could gut them as fast as three girls could clean them! One other job that they would always groan at was unloading wood that he would bring home for their wood stove. As a young girl she was quiet in her ways. She walked to the Wakefield Christian Church which was just about three doors from their home each Sunday and remembers some of the songs that she learned as a young child there. Cindy remembers the Church Revival that she joined her two older sisters and first cousin at the front of the Church to ask Jesus to come into her life and also remembers her baptism and the dress that she wore. She was 11 at this time. Other childhood memories are roller skating and bicycling all over town, Sunday School picnics at Moore's Lake, and summer Vacation Bible Schools.

Notes:

Jessie Merle Chappell. ( Wednesday, February 10th, 1999 I'm 78 years old. We have been married for 58 years as of Saturday the 30th. He is 84 years old and we got married on his birthday. Four children. Two girls and two boys. And I wanted six, because the lady over here across the road, Mrs. Pageant, had 10. And, I thought it was wonderful, and I said one out, of the 10 would look after... you know when you get old. I really had five and lost one, and the last one I had cried so much I said this is it. No more babies for me. I lived up the road two miles and 1 he lived here, and uh, he used to , come up there with the other kids and we played together and I had no idea about him, but he had an idea about me. I remember one time we were out there pumping water and he come and said... he wanted to know... how old I was or something, and he let me know he was interested. And, I could care less. I think I was 13 years old. Well, really we grew up to- gether. I didn't never really know 1 was in love, it just automatically came in there, (with a chuckle). We just started dating and uh, we dated with a coupIe across the road, Vernice and Robert Moore. We dated until we were 16 and 21. At first it was just now and then, but around graduation we got closer and closer. I had no idea that he was gmng ff to ask me to marry him, and we 1 were going to Petersburg and were up in Prince George. I don't know what the name of the road is, some- thing Gumeyville, and he stopped underneath the oak tree and gave me a diamond. They al1 get a big kick out of that... thekids go by there and say, 'which tree?' Wel!, there is no tree there now. I couldn't imagine why he was stopping, (with a hearty laugh). He stopped, and then he wanted a kiss, and then he had the box, and then he gave me the diamond. We really didn't have any romantic, whatever, you know. It was just built on up. He's never brought me flowers or anything. We don't even get each other Christmas presents. We never have. We just buy what we want during the year and when Christmas omes, we spend it on the kids. We built a little house up here: it's that house on the hill, we built thati Well, first we moved over across the road and that house 1 burned out and then we had built this one before that one burned out, so we were livin' on this one on the , hill. And, we came down here when, uh, Sherry was one year 01d. She's 47 now. So we've been right i here in this house ever since then. He's just so good. He's good and I easy and easy to get along with. You can't pick a fuss with him. And, I've tried. Not really. But, you've got to let him know that you're right sometimes. But, he's mostly always right. He's always been real good. I'll tell you... I don't reckon there's anybody been, anywhere i around here, had, as good a time as we had. We used to go drivin' with Vernice nearly every Sunday and then when I kissed him, a long time ago... we used to go on a trip every summer. And when Wayne got married, we did go on a trip with them every August until the last two. I think the happiest moment that we shared would be... I guess when I had each one of my babies. 1 re- ally wanted children. He didn't. He wasn' t raised with children. We had two girls and two boys, but 1 lost a girl. I lost a girl at birth and then I had a miscarriage. One of my kids would cry and cry, and hold her breath. She held her breath till she turned blue. I was doing something and Sherry was seven,' she practically raised her you know, she looked after her. 1 said, 'Sherry, go in there and get some - water and throw it in her face,' I always heard that would do it. So, she went in there and she got some water and she threw it in her face and when she did she was at , the stage that she was gasping air in, and when she did it went down her wind pipe and strangled her. And she was a little bitty thing, but . she knew she was gone and she re- ally stopped in her tracks, but she didn't hold her breath anymore. When Phillip lost his sister was probably one of the saddest mo- ments that we shared. He really thought alot about her. We have so many moments that are funny, I call tell you one thing that happened, but it was really within the family. Our children... he was always after them, you know. And our oldest son had to go to the bathroom every night after supper. Well, we didn't have a bathroom, so, he had to go out there, (point- ing outside). Phillip said, 'I'll fix him.' So, I said, 'What are you going to do?' and he said, 'I'm going to get a white sheet, and I' m going around behind the smoke- house and when they come out, I' m going to scare them,' Well, the little one had to go with the older one, because he couldn't go by himself. So I had to come out to see what was going to happen. So, I came on out here to the side, and they came on from the Johnny house and he got after 'ern, and they took outta runnin' in the house. And this porch won't here then. And they ran in there and locked the 100rs and locked us out- side ~ and we couldn't get in. e had a time in this world gettin' in. Finally one of them came to the door, it musta' been the one that was be- hind the chair in the livin' room- Came and unlocked the door. And, there was a day bed right here. In fact, junior had a brand new shirt on, and he was so scared... (laugh- ing) we couldn't get him from under the bed we had to pull him out - tore his new shirt. We laughed and we laughed and we laughed. It broke him too, he didn't go to the bath- room after supper anymore. No, everything we did, we did. together. We always have. He fanoed and I fanoed with him: Many a day I worked with him ~1.. day long and the next morning he had to pull my feet out of bed to get out. He didn't go his way, and I didn't go mine. We always did things, together, and then when he's farming if I wanted to go off with the girls, I went. But, he never... he was, too busy to go off with any men. Lord... I've had six or seven girl friends at a time. Mercell Blue ano Janet Kyer, we were three muske teers. I used to say, 'I can't see,' I had glasses in my pocket book, and we would go to the doctors together and they would read to me like-I - really couldn't see. It was really comical. I would say to young couples. who are just starting out - they've got to give over. They can't be a one-sided affair. Give over to each other. One can't take it all. It's give and take. Nowadays, everybody's for themself. We don't have any plans for Valentine's Day. He's never even given me a box of candy... nope... I.. really don't know why, he just didn't. I guess it's the type of person he is, I don't know, he never has We've never had much money. '. We used to go to Richmond alid - I we'd carry sandwiches along to eat. Because we didn't have the money, , to go out to eat. We were raised in the poor days. Nowadays, they all want to start out with everything. We couldn't do that. We didn't have any money to do it with. We were I lucky if we had a table and chair to , eat off of; but we did. Still have the table in yonder right now. That'll be the saddest thing that will ever happen... he goes away I and leaves me... I'll tell you right now. I've always said, well if I have to go, I hope that I would go before, he did. It looks like it might be tit for tat, (with a chuckle). It looks like both of us are going down the hill together. We're really lucky that we have four really good children. We've never had a problem with them and they really look after us and the one up on the hill', he's really', well he's here. They really have been wonderful. You know my middle name was Jessie Merle, and I didn't like Jessie. When they write their appointments down, they say (at a high screech) 'Jessie Merle.' Well, I didn't know any Jessie Merle Chappell. The kids would say, 'Momma, they're callin' you.' No, we weren' t really what you'd call a romantic couple. We just grew up together and automatically went into it. He's a better husband than I am a wife. I like to go and mingle with people and play cards and have a good time and he is more or less a home person. He . Iikes to sit. Of course, now, he really doesn't feel like going. But we really have had some good times, ain't no doubt about that. Some of them told us at the party Saturday, 'I'll tell you rig'ht now, ain't nobody around here, had any more good times then ya'll have,' and ain' t that the truth. Phillip Chappell: l've been married for 58 years as of the day efore yesterday. We got married Jan, 30th in 1941. I'm 84 years old, aDd we have four children. Well, I've been knowing her ever since she was a little bitty duck. She was born and raised up he road about two miIes. This was I long time ago now. Must've been hen I was 18, or maybe 17.We're oing back a little bit, you know. I've got a picture in yonder of er taken on a Model-T Ford. She as about this tall then, (holding Us hand out in the air). The picture as taken by her daddy down there In her yard. I thillk, I knew I was in love ound 1937-38. I don't know, I eckon it was sometime in the sum- lIer. That was a long time ago, girl. Lord, I couldn't tell you. Her momma wouldn' t let her go ut so young, so we went to... she had a brother and we went some- 1 where, we came back, and when we got out of the car her and I went to 1 a bat! game over across the swamp over here. Drivin' a Model-T Ford In them days- A 1926 Model-T- We went to the ball game and she got 1 out of the car and left me sittin' in the car, put it that way, (with a hearty laugh). Local people were playing though, you know in those days it was a country ball game not professional. I reckon we dated for about 10 years. I asked her daddy for her. I hink he answered my question. Anyway, she was about 19 or 18 or so. I didn' t get on my knees. Well. I p guess we just set a date to get mar- ried or somethjng like that, we said my birthday. I guess because it was just something to remember. She made me a good wife, hard worker, got along fine together, just a few little spats once in a while. I reckon going on trips was the happiest times, well... the happiest moment was when I got married, but then going on trips after that. We were going to Washington for snowing so we turned around and arne on back to Richmond. I don' t know that we've really lad any sad times. Why what did she say? You can't tell me? Well, 1 on'l know, I've been pretty happy myself. Well, we understood each other, we worked together and we enjoyed it. We knew when we got married it was depression times and e knew we would have to pull together and make a go of it - financially. Well, if you're starting out as a young couple I would tell them, pull together, and love each other and you'll enjoy life. We don't do Valentine's Day or I Chrismas except for our gmndchil- dren, you know. I don't know why we just never have, even since we've been married. I just can't an- swer that. I would have to say that the fun- niest moments that we've shared is our life together. We used to go to lances and stuff like that. We've beenalotofplaces. We enjoy so much being to- gether. Of course, Saturday was our big day too. We had about 130 fam- !ly members and friends at our 58th wedding anniversary. But I reckon that's about all of it. I don't know you're asking mme questlons that... well, it was about 58 years ago, now. I think I've said enough. Merle and Phillip Chappell don't celebrate just one day of love, Valentine's Day, because they have shared something far greater - 58 years together.
