Notes:

There is an Ethelbert L. Raines, 41 yoa in the 1860 census, with a wife Cecia A. age 33 and daughter Ellen A that lived next to Williamson T. Horne in the 1860 census. This is too co-incidental not to be the correct Raines, although it is unknown how John Bart came from Ethelbert L., unless it was a nickname. There is no census info for a John Bart anywhere in Virginia (I would rather be called Bart than Ethelbert). 5/18/2010 Ethelbert confirmed from daughter's marrige records.

The Raines family had $7,000 in Real Estate abd $12,000 in Personal, which made them very well off by the standards of those days. The Horne family only had $500 in personal and no real estate dollars entered which probably means they were renting the farm from the Raines. Both properties were side by side on the 1850 and 1860 census.

1870 census: real estate value $1760; personal Prop$150

Died before 1874 as his daughter's wedding was listed as being at the residence of Celcia A. Raines (his wife). Had he been alive it would have listed it at his residence.

Notes:

Herbert Raines Horne married Mary Elizabeth Goodrich. Herbert was born in Prince George County, Virginia on December 26th, 1880 and died on September 3rd, 1956, at age 75. He was the son of Zachary Taylor Horne and Ellen Augusta Raines. Herbert was one of four (4) children. He has one brother Arthur Lee Horne and two sisters, Effie M. and Blanche L. Horne. Note: Original Farm in Disputanta may have actually been in Sussex County. Mary Elizabeth Goodrich was born in Surry County, Virginia on August 18th, 1884 and died on Jun 10th, 1976 at age 92. She was the daughter of Benjamin Taylor Goodrich and Ella Gertrude Booth. She was one of eight (8) children. She had three brothers, James Elliott, Glen, and Benjamin Taylor Goodrich, Jr. and five sisters, Stella Gertrude, Claudia Leathy and Nannyt T Goodrich. Both she and Herbert are buried in the family plot at the Waverly Cemetary, in Waverly, Virginia. Very little is known about Herbert's early life as a young man. We do know from family members that he was a fun loving, teasing, mischievous and humorous man. He was also a devoted husband, loving and hard working father. He spent his life as a farmer and loved the land. In his earlier years he was engaged to Nanny Goodrich, however this didn't work out and he proposed to my grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Goodrich (Pinkie). He made a mistake and gave Mary the same ring that he had given to Nanny. This didn't set well with Mary and she took the ring and rubbed it on the fireplace stone, thereby putting scratches in the ring. She told Herbert that she wouldn't wear the same ring that he had given to Nanny. Apparently, the scratches made it just slightly different and Grandmother was happy. The way that he and grandmother left to get married is a classic, just like a romantic novel. On a cold, blustery, snowy 28th day of January, 1907, Grandfather, at the stroke of midnight, placed a ladder against the side of the farmhouse and grandmother climbed down to go marry Herbert. They took the horse and carriage that he had waiting through three (3) feet of snow to the train station in Waverly, Virginia. There they took a train to Halifax, NC and stayed at the Roanoke Hotel, where they were married by J. L. Fenner, Justice of the Peace on January 28th, 1907. Mrs. W. A. Sater was both the proprietress and witness. Mary Virginia Horne Howard remembers that one of the kids went downstairs and told their mother, Ella Gertrude Booth Goodrich that Pinkie (Mary Goodrich) wasn't in her room. As the family started to search for her, her father Benjamin Taylor Goodrich, said,' there ain't no need to look for her, she's run away to get married, haven't you seen her making all these new clothes?'. Mary Virginia doesn't remember which of the kids told their mother about Pinkie (Mary) being gone. However it was the one that slept in the room with Mary Goodrich. Herbert and Mary owned a large farm on Rt. 40 in what is now the southern part of the town of Waverly, Virginia. During WW-II, when he wasn't harvesting and planting crops on the farm, he worked as a ship builder at the Willoughby Spit Marina in Norfolk, Virginia. He also served as a Deacon at the Waverly Baptist Church. He also served as a Forestry Service fire warden in Sussex County. We have photos of Herbert's award winning huge watermelons. His ever present dog spot was always at his side. Herbert and Mary sold the farm in 1945 to a man named Sheffield and moved to 318 N. Addison Street in Richmond, Virginia. In 1955, he was diagnosed as having stomach cancer. He was operated on at the Medical College of Virginia and after a lengthy convalescent period at his daughter Evelyn Horne Harris' home, Herbert passed away at MCV Hospital on September 3rd,1956 and was intered at Waverly Cemetery on September 6th,1956. Herbert and Mary's children are : 1. Herbert Calvin Horne, Sr. 2. Thelma Elizabeth Horne (West) 3. Evelyn Mae Horne (Harris) 4. George Landon Horne 5. Mary Virginia Horne (Howard). He was an avid hunter and fisherman and when living on Addison Street, took his grandchildren to Byrd Park lake to fish for bluegills and sunfish. One of my fondest childhood memories is the days we sat on the grassy banks beside Byrd Park lake, using bamboo canes to fish and just relaxing with my grandfather in the sun and waiting for the fish to bite.
Herbert's favorite song was 'The old Rugged Cross'. It is remembered by the kids that Mary Horne had to walk to Otterdam School (a little red school house on Rt. 40). The school was one room and was torn down when Mary Virginia was 8 or 9 years old (early 1930's). Mary Horne learned all the words in the Websters Dictionary, their meanings and how to spell each one, while at this little one room school. This served her later in life, as she played the "cashword" puzzle in the newspaper every week up to her death. She never mailed them in as gambling was on the top of her sins list. However, she never used the dictionary to look up the words, she knew them by heart. The school was just before the 1st bridge on Rt.40 after turning off from Phillip & Merle's road (Rt.312).
HISTORICAL NOTE: Amanda Wilkins was Herbert's black nanny at his birth and she was 1819 years old and spanked his bottom and made him cry at his birth. She used to always tell Mary Virginia this. She attended Mary Goodrich Horne with all five (5) of the kids and told that she had washed her diapers as a baby and had done the same with her father Herbert and that if she could live long enough to wash diapers for Mary Virginia's babies, then she would be ready to go. She did in fact wash Mary's first born daughter Barbara Joan Howard's diapers and lived until Joan was 2 years old. Amanda could remember the Civil War. Back when Mary Virginia was a child, when the farmhouse was new, the house hadn't been even cooked in before the owner died. The old house was moved down to the barn lot and had 2 rooms, one of which held the farm equipment and the other room was used as the kids playhouse with dolls and tea services. Amanda and her husband Jim Wilkins (both in their late 80's) lived on an adjoining farm and the owner expected Jim to get out and work exactly like the young workers. One day Amanda came and talked to Herbert and told him that the owners were going to put them out since Jim couldn't work as much as the other (remember he was in his 80's). This was the Clements farm. Herbert Horne then asked the kids if they would give up their playhouse and he and Mary Virginia took down the house, board by board and rebuild the house on a new cleared lot on the farm for Amanda (Aunt Mandy) and Jim. Herbert did not charge them anything to live in the house and when he sold the farm he insisted on a clause in the sales contract giving Amanda and Jim the right to live there until they died. Amanda would help Mary Horne with the wash and light work that Aunt Mandy thought she could handle. They were given any of the food from the gardens that they wanted free. Jim and Amanda had a son that wasn't worth a hoot, however, Herbert made a room on the 2nd floor for him since they wanted their son with them and he wouldn't work and couldn't live elsewhere. Herbert treated Jim and Amanda like family and they never went without until they died. Across from Herbert and Mary's farm was a small 5 acre farm that belonged to Mary's father (Benjamin Taylor Goodrich). It was an open field surrounded by woods on 2 sides and another farm on the 3rd side. They had chicken house and a barn for the horse, wagon and plows. Behind one of the tree lines was the Grey Lumber yard field that Mr. Grey had built small cottages on for the black workers at the plant to live in. One day while Herbert was harvesting the peanut crop, he had to go back to Willoughy Spit to work on a ship and the peanuts had to be left unstacked on the ground. Mary Horne woke up late at night to a torrential downpour and knew that they had lost all of the peanut crop. She went to the window to look out at the loss and what she saw was a field full of flashlights. The black workers for Grey Lumber had gotten up in the middle of the night and all went out to try and save Herbert and Mary's crop. Both were well liked among the workers in the area and were known for their fairness and open hearts. Many times Herbert and Mary Horne had given these workers boxes and other items to try and insulate their cottages against the drafty cold air that blew in. This little kindness was repaid in full by those that Herbert helped. One of the black neighbors, Rosa Wilkins had two girls and the youngest was named after my mother Evelyn Horne. Both of these girls later went to the Conservatory of Music in New York. The oldest of Rosa Wilkins daughters is Lena Horne, the famous singer. She used granddaddy Horne's last name as a stage name instead of her real name Lena Wilkins. Lena's mother Rosa used to bring all her money over to Mary Goodrich Horne to keep when she went on trips. Mary kept telling Rosa to count the money upon her return and Rosa kept telling Grandmother Mary Horne that if she thought she had to count her money, she wouldn't have brought it there to begin with. Honesty is a family virtue that is deep rooted in the Horne Family. N O T E : Herbert's sister Blanche L. Horne Weibert was killed when her oldest son Linwood Weibert was cleaning a shotgun in the kitchen and it accidentally went off and shot his mother in the arm. She went into the yard where she bled to death before anyone could help her.

Name is of German Descent and was originally spelled Hornie and was of Pensylvania Dutch in this country

Stayed at daughter Evelyn's home until the final hours (his request) when he was taken to MCV hospital, where he died.
