Notes:

See Herbert for full notes.

When they moved to Richmond, She made Herbert build a high wooden privacy fence around the backyard and she kept chickens. I remember her in her apron chasing a chicken around the yard, so we would have fresh chicken for lunch one Sunday. She made the biscuits and dessert (banana pudding) and Calvin would always fry the chicken in an old high side cast iron skillet. There were family dinners one Sunday a month.

Grandmother slept in an old feather bed that she loved and wouldn't sleep in a regular bed at all. She kept her snuff can under the bed.

Grandmother by Faye Howard:
You asked me about things I remember about Grandmother too. Here it is. Grandmother would always crouch down to use the phone. She could touch her toes at 80ty. Her nick name was "Pinky". She loved to dip snuff, but she hid in her bedroom so we wouldn't see her spit. She loved to play Canasta, which she taught many of us to play, and taught us how to eat King Syrup mixed with butter on bread that was delicious. She was a homebody and kept the home very clean. She made a beautiful quilt with Granddad, Granddad's Dog and mule or horse, Thelma, Calvin, others on it chickens, flowers and so much more. She made it out of the old clothes and scratch material she found laying around. She was a very good sewer. Grandmother loved her flowers and bushes, she was on the quiet side but carried a big bat. When the children at Fox School would kick a kickball, bat a baseball or throw a basketball in her back yard she would run them out of the yard and later return them to the Principal after we played with them for a while. She would be so upset because the children would climb the fence, breaking it sometimes and killing her plants and flowers stepping or jumping on them. The children use to call her the Wicked Witch. Grandmother nor I ever forgot what I am about to tell you and she even talked to Mom about it when she was dying that she never forgot the day I stood up to her with my hands on my hips and told her, "I could be just a stubborn as she was", then I walked out of the house across the street by myself and bought me some candy and ate it before I walked back into the house to get my punishment for not obeying her. You see Grandmother, even when I thought I was too old for naps, made me take one. She would let Joanie go across the street and buy some candy when they thought I was asleep. I finally got tired of just pretending I would sleep and got up when Joanie came back into the house with her candy in hand. I told Grandmother I was going to get me some. Well, she said I was not unless Joanie took me across the street. Joanie decided she would not take me across the street until she was ready too. Then Grandmother said I could not go. That's when I said what I did and did what I did. Would I do it again. "Yes", even though my Daddy gave me the biggest and worse spanking of my life for not respecting my Grandmother and for not doing what she said to do, and I really couldn't go to school and sit down for a week. Grandmother felt so bad that the next time I came over she said, I am really sorry Faye that I told Linwood about everything. I really didn't know he would beat you like that." Of course, I am a Scorpio and we hold grudges for a long time but she knew that day that I was really hurt by the way she and Joanie acted but I forgave her for telling Dad. She wrote articles to the newspapers and I will always remember the one about the verse from the King James Version on, "Spare Not the Rod". I will look up that verse and let you know it as soon as I can. She was very political too and would speak her mind in articles she wrote to the paper. Lynn and Mary were also very political and wrote things. They learned this from Grandmother. She have premonitions. She called Mom early one morning and asked Mom if she had talked to me recently or heard from me. Mom said no and asked why. Grandmother said something is really wrong you should call her. Mom did and I told her I had a miscarriage and was going to tell her about it when I felt better. She told me Grandmother knew something was wrong and that was why she called her and told her to call me. Grandmother told me other times when she knew something was going to happen and they did. Grandmother was Grandmother, I loved her, accepted her and am proud she was my "Grandmother" when I got old enough to understand life a little better instead of through a child's eye that's when I could understand her better.     
         

(Medical):She broke her hip at 88 years old and was up and walking within 2 years.

Notes:

Aunt Stella was always very fond of Calvin Horne and he was her little doll baby. This was before she married and had kids. She always had a nice disposition and was friendly towards everyone. Her children were like sisters and brothers to the Horne family. Aunt Stella always blushed very easily. Mary Virginia Horne remembers that Aunt Stella had a crush on a friend of Herbert Raines Horne's, Myron Benton, that moved to Conneticut and everytime he came down to visit Herbert Raines Horne, Aunt Stella had to rush over to visit and she would stand there and her face would turn red when he would walk in and she would look at Mary Virginia and say 'you little devil you'd better keep your mouth shut and don't say a word', but her face was so red that no one had to say anything.

Notes:

Herbert Calvin Horne, Sr., was born on Jan 8, 1909 at Milton Farms in Disputanta, Virginia. Very little is known about him until his teenage years. *** Check with Landon for younger years In his senior year of high school at Waverly High Schools, he came home one day and told his father that he might as well give him a whipping now because he wasn't going back to school for another day if he had to continue taking chemistry under Mr. Level, because he embarassed the kids that he didn't like and showed favoritism to certain of his cronies children in the class. At this point Calvin Horne quit school and went to work on his daddy's farm for several years. Frank Pulley, a lawyer and businessman came to Calvin and asked him if Calvin would run his store (Lindsey's Store). Calvin took over the running of the store and after a few years, Frank Pulley asked Calvin if he would like to buy the store. Calvin bought this, his first store and ran it for many years. Calvin borrowed the money from his mother and she loaned him the money from what he had been paying her for room and board. She had never spent it but kept in in her trunk in the upstairs bedroom at the farmhouse. The trunk was between the two beds and under the front window. This made a nice down payment on the store and it took Calvin about five (5) years to pay off the rest of the loan to Mr. Pulley. He sold this store and build Horne Sales & service across the road. This new store sold Chrylser/Plymouth cars and tires for the lumber yard people. He had a small grocery, but only sold limited items, mainly for workers to make lunches with. Calvin never mailed a bill. He kept a little notebook that he listed the people he gave credit to. And he never had a customer leave town owing him a bill, even though he never mailed out one. He had one family, with several small children, that he gave credit to, repay him with several musical ukelins to settle their account before they moved to Suffolk. This was Mr. Lupton. One would have paid the bill, but Mr. Lupton insisted he take both. Joan Howard (niece) still has one of these ukelins and Martha Jane (his daughter) has the other one. It should be noted at this point that one of the very few faults Calvin had all his life was a penchant for fast cars. At one point Preston Harrell, the mayor's son, bet Calvin that he could be in Wakefield before Calvin. Calvin then left someone in charge of the store and he and Preston left for Rt. 460 to start the race. Someone squealed to the town cop and he was sitting on the road waiting when Calvin was in front of Preston and saw the town cop. Calvin was able to slow down in time, but Preston hadn't seen the cop and passed Calvin in a blaze of speed, went passed the cop and was going so fast the cop couldn't even clock him, however Preston realized his fat was in the fire and had better stop before things got worse. In another incident, Calvin driving a red car actiually outran the police coming back from Petersburg. He had passed the policeman and the police started chasing him. Calvin managed to take a cutoff on a dirt street behind the old train depot and the cop never saw him and lost Calvin. When he hit the railroad tracks by the depot, Calvin's car went airborne. Calvin never was one to take his time going from one point to another. One one occurrance Calvin Horne was carried upon the wings of angles while driving his car. Preacher Harrell was having a revival in Waverly Baptist Church. Now, Preacher Harrell lived in Claremont and Calvin had arrived at the church ready for the revival meeting, when he was asked where the preacher was. You see, the preacher didn't have a car and certain members were to bring him on given nights. Well, this was Calvin's night and he had forgottten. Calvin made it to Claremont and back and the revival was only 20 minutes late. To this day, people swear that Calvin and the good Lord straightened out all those curves on Rt.40 to get the preacher to the church on time. To this day the 18 to 20 minute run from Waverly to Claremont and back hasn't been beaten. The preacher told Calvin not to worry that the lord was on their side. Calvin didn't remember the ride to Claremont and was 12 miles one way on a crooked curbved road with two small bridges over the Blackwater swamp. In his early teen years Calvin was dating a girl that lived across the road from his families farmhouse, named Evelyn Chesson. She was in love with a boy that had gone in the Navy and Mary Virginia (sister) knew this. She didn't want Calvin dating this girl. One day Calvin came home, put his car keys on the kitchen table and went upstairs to change to take her to a movie in Petersburg. Mary Virginia took his car keys and went out in the yard, yelled up to Calvin to look out the window. She told him she had his car keys and wasn't going to give them back to him since Evelyn Chesson was using him. Calvin yelled for her to hush as he didn't want Evelyn to here Mary. Mary then ran to the outhouse and locked herself and Calvin's car keys inside. Calvin was begging Mary Virginia for the keys and even offered a $5 bill to put the keys on the porch. Mary decided that $5 was worth more than Clavin making a fool of himself over the girl and gave him back the keys. Within a month's time Clavin took Evelyn Chesson to a dance and her boyfriend (Gwaltney Raines) came home on leave, came to the dance, claimed his girl, and Calvin was left standing at the dance, sans girl. Calvin was so mad he tried top run people off the road and when he got home Mary was able to say 'I told you so'. While living in Waverly, Calvin was a member of the Ruritan Club and Rotary Club. Mary Jane Sheffield was born and raised in the house behind the store and Calvin had known her ever since he bought the store. After Calvin bought this store they used to talk over the fence between the store and her house and very soon one thing led to another and they became husband and wife, on June 15, 1940. This was one week before his sister's birthday and her graduation and she was furious with him for not waiting. Of course, Calvin was one of those who used to spoil Mary Virginia. They were married in Waverly Baptist Church, by Rev. Albert Harrell in a small intimate ceremony. Mary Jane didn't have any attendenants and Calvin didn't have a best man. They left and went to New York for the World's Fair for their honeymoon. They stayed with Cyrus & Effie Leap. They also went to Niagra Falls during the honeymoon. When they returned they stayed at Herbert & Mary Horne's farm house until they got an apartment in a house next to the Baptist Church. HC, Jr., was born while they lived in the apt. They then bought a house on West Main Street. It was small brick bungalow with 2 bedrooms downstairs. Martha Jane was born at this house. Mary Jane worked from her teenage years through this time as a waitress and hostess at the restaurant at the corner of Main Street and Rt. 460. She was also choir director at the Waverly Baptist Church. She is remember by everyone as being very beautiful, quiet and loving. During this time Calvin sold H.C. Horne Sales and Service and he and Bob Clark bought Waverly Feed and Seed on Main Street.Note: Mary Jane's father, Cleveland Sheffield was murdered when she was younger. He was the paymaster for Gray Lumber Company and disappeared on a Friday afyternoon, when he was on his way with the payroll to pay the employees. His body was found three weeks later in Blackwater Swamp. The murderer was never apprehended or identified. The family continued to live here until after Mary Jane passed away, shortly after Martha's 3rd birthday. Mary Jane died in January 1951. Mary Jane died from Cirrhosis of the liver, even though she never drank alcohol. This was possibly cancer instead as cancer wasn't widely known at that time and the symptoms were the same as Herbert Horne's stomach cancer. His sister Mary Virginia spend the first six months after Mary Jane's death with Calvin to look after the children and take care of the house. He was able to obtain a Baptist minister's widow from Richmond as a nanny for the children. She was very rough on both H.C. Jr. and Martha, and Calvin ended up having to take HC, Jr. to the store with him. Calvin fired her later. Calvin also sold Massey Ferguson tractors for Surry Implement Co and later sold John Deere tractors for Dudley Robertson Tractor Co. Shirley James Johnson remembers that Calvin could sell anything. He was a born salesman. He met Glayds Bradshaw and married her in 1952. From this marriage was born his third child, Catherine Denise Horne, on September 12,. Calvin then bought the big 2 story white house on Main Street. This had a garage and a side stable that held the pony he got for H.C. and Martha. Of course, all the rest of the nephews and nieces had to ride also. This probably contributed to the pony having a sway back. Every Christmas Calvin and H.C. used to set up a model train that ran all around the living room at this house. This was a tradition for as long as I can remember. We used to put christmas presents on the train and ride them around the room. The parlor of this house was off limits to us kids and was used for company only. The marriage bwtween Calvin and Gladys was not destined to work and they divorced in ?????. Calvin, in partnership with Richard Spain, next purchased a grocery in Petersburg, Va. He stayed there until one of the assistant managers started taking the profits home in groceries. Calvin never prosecuted him and sold the store. He then came to Richmond and lived with Linwood and Mary Virginia Howard. While living here in Richmond he sold Chrylsers and Plymouths at the dealership at Belvidere and Broad St. During this time his son H.C., Jr. went into Demolay and went through the Order and became A Master Councilor of his chapter. It is said that bad things come in three's. This has centainly been the case in Calvin's life; Mary Jane's father died as a young man, Mary Jane died as a young woman and his son H.C. Jr., died as a young man, on Calvin's 68th birthday. For one so honest and caring as Calvin was, he was followed by bad luck with those he loved so much. About a year after coming to Richmond, Calvin bought a grocery store in Thornsburg and the family moved into a house trailer next to the store. I remember that at one point when I was visiting that Calvin decided that H.C. Jr., needed to loose some weight, so he made him dig a drainage ditch all the way around the trailer without stopping. Well, Calvin looked at the ditch HC was digging and decided that it wasn't deep enough, so this drainage ditch turned into being a 3' deep ditch and HC literally sweated buckets digging this ditch. He was so tired that he didn't even think about food that whole day. He did however drink several BIG coke bottles full of water. After this, H.C. started dieting in ernest and lost a most of the extra weight he was carrying around. I guess that he was afraid Calvin was going to make him dig another ditch and he never put the weight back on again. Calvin sold this grocery and moved to Hanover Courthouse where he opened another grocery that was called the Hanover Market. The house was next to the market and had a fenced in yard. His mother lived there with him in 1964 and stayed there for quite a few years. They had a pond out back and an old Packard in the garage that he had received in payment for a customers bill. While there in Hanover Courthouse the great family race took place one year, between Calvin, Linwood Howard, Tommy West and Bob Cowdin. Calvin was driving HC's GTO, Linwood had the old blue Oldsmobile, Tommy had a State Police cruiser and Bob was driving a small sportscar. The race started on U.S. 301 in front of the store and went to the bridge just North of the Courthouse. Tommy, in the State Police cruiser was the winner although Calvin wasn't too far behind.
A finer, more Christian man would be hard to find.

(Medical):He had 3 heart attacks over 20 years and an ulcer

Medical:
Had a cardiac by-pass

Residence:
They had a trailer beside the store. The store is still there. One day Calvin decided that HC needed to lose weight, so he made him dig a 2' ditch around the trailer and then fill it back in. All this was because HC loved his moon pies and cartons of milk (and a lot of other sweets) and put on a lot of weight. HC never went back to a lot sweets again and retained his much lower weight.

George Landon Horne was born September 20th, 1918 on the farm in Sussex County He was delivered by Dr. Stoneham.

He walked to school until his senior year, until transportation was available (this was 1.5 miles each way). His first job was at the D. Pender grocery store in Waverly, Virginia. He attended Smithdeal-Massey Business College in Richmond, Va. His hobbies were baseball, horseshoes and fishing. He was a Phi Beta Kappa president. He served in the US Army in WW-II in the 10th Armored Division. He then went to OCS and was commissioned an officer and went with the Army General Hospital Corp and served in the South Pacific in New Guini and the Phillipines. He later retired as a LTC in the Army Reserve Hospital Corp. He can still, in 1992, fit in his WW-II uniforms. Landon is 5'6 and his avg weight all his life has been between 120-125 pounds and he is 5'6, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Her history from a leter from Doris Jean on 4-4-2006:

Doris Jean Goodrich was born to Benjamin Taylor Goodrich, Jr. and his wife, Mabel Pearl Westbrook Goodrich during the Depression in 1931. Jean was the youngest of five children and the only one born in the house they built on the farm he purchased November 1921. Located across the road from Snow Hill, the farm was once part of Snow Hill Plantation before it was partitioned (divided) among heirs. Before, they lived in a small house near Avery's Mill Pond on a farm Daddy owned called "Gilliam" which was once a part of the B. B. Goodrich farm that was also divided among heirs. In order to care for Mama the heirs sold the farm at public auction in 1964. My husband and I purchased it and in 1965, we moved into the house in which I was born.

Benjamin, known as "Boss" to family and friends died on May 28,1931 of a brain tumor reportedly caused by a head injury incurred by a wooden flywheel spinning off a piece of farm equipment. One of the saddest, most heartbreaking pictures I have ever seen was the one of Mother and her four children, Marvin, Norman, (Bernard Taylor died of flu in 1922 at one year of age) Edith, and me taken shortly after Daddy's funeral. She was wearing her mourning clothes and was holding me, a six month old, on her lap. All wore sad expressions. I am indeed grateful to my older cousins who so generously gave me that picture and many other old family pictures when they cleaned out their parents personal belongings after their death.

In those days, farmers used horses and mules to produce and harvest their crops. The equipment mentioned above was a stationery steam engine with flywheels and belts to power equipment for thrashing peanuts and grain. I remember it stored in under a shed attached to a barn located directly in front of the Snow Hill house. There was also a small corncrib located near the barn but closer to the road. Older family members, probably Daddy's sister, Aunt Stella, and my Mother, told me that both buildings had been part of Snow Hill property and I have always wondered why those farm buildings were in front of the main house. Ella Gertrude Booth, the mother of Stella and Benjamin, Jr., grew up at Snow Hill so Stella should know about such matters as the location of the outbuildings.

In 1974, when I began to gather a little family history, Aunt Stella told me her mother Ella Gertrude Booth left the house one morning to milk cows at the barn across the road. Instead of milking cows, she jumped in the buggy with the waiting Benjamin Taylor Goodrich, Sr. to be married. That was August 26, 1876. Does anyone have a record where the wedding took place? I wish I had taken more time to learn more history our older relatives would have enjoyed sharing with me.

Stored in the same shed with the steam engine were two old cars. One was a Buick and the other a Ford. When I was about seven years old, the family tackled the dusty, dirty job of clearing the barn of old, worn out plow points, cultivator hoes, various parts of unused, worn out equipment and whatever other junk which had accumulated. Little did Mama know Japan would throw the junk she sold or gave away as scrap metal back at this country during World War II.

Mama must have been a special person and manager to hold the family together and to retain possession of the farm without losing everything during the Depression. Fortunately for all of us her two oldest were boys. She taught them that she became BOSS when he died and the boys never stopped calling her that. Marvin was 14 and Norman was 12 when Daddy died, so they were of great assistance in getting the farm work done. One of my elderly neighbors told me a few years ago he often saw my brothers working the fields or in the woods cutting firewood and he wondered how she got them, at such young ages, to do those jobs. The wood was necessary for heating in cold weather and for the cook stove in all kinds of weather regardless of how hot the kitchen got in summer.

All of us learned to carry our share of the load as soon as we became old enough. Edith (Tillie) was about 6 ½ years older than I was, so when Mama's mother, Otelia Florence Westbrook came to live with us prior to her death, Tillie recalls the stacks of laundry necessary to keep Grandma's bedclothes clean. An eleven or twelve year old using a scrub board for the chore would never forget it. We can really appreciate the conveniences electricity brought to rural Virginia when electric lines were constructed when I was a teenager. Grandma died when I was in first grade. My memory of her as being sick in bed and I had to be quiet so as not to disturb her. I also remember her casket in our living room and the unusual activity in the family the day of her funeral.

Marvin managed to get an eighth-grade education, Norman and Tillie graduated from Dendron High School. I rode the school bus to Dendron for eight years, and commuted to Waverly for High School. Mother had learned early, probably before Daddy's death to drive an automobile, so she was not at all reluctant to allow me to drive to school as soon as I was old enough for the license. I do not recall she was ever without an automobile. Transportation was a necessity as we lived five miles from the nearest town. On Sundays, she allowed the boys to drive us into Waverly for Sunday school at Waverly Methodist Church although she stayed home, probably to get some much needed rest and peace.

Prior to graduation, I thought I wanted to become a nurse. Louise Obici Hospital was under construction at the time and their representatives made presentations at the schools recruiting candidates for their nursing school. My interest in a nursing career faded when they took us on a tour of their existing Lakeview hospital, including the conditions in the wards and as far into the surgery area as they could. Nursing is a noble and rewarding career for others but Jean did not have what it required. Another reason for not pursuing nursing, in September 1948, I started dating Shirley Johnson who had been out with several nurses there and had heard from them how difficult working conditions were. I think their demanding schedule interfered with his dating schedule! Anyway, I valued his opinion.

After graduation in 1949, I worked about eight months in the office of East Coast Electric Company, a small company located in Waverly that sold out to Virginia Electric and Power Company in March 1950. VEPCO transferred me to their Richmond Office. The city was too much for this country girl! There was nothing but concrete, masses of people, vehicles and their pollution. I quit after three days and came home. Preparing for vegetable planting, Mama and I were clearing the debris from the garden spot a few days later when the President of the Farm Credit Office in Waverly (known then as Southside Virginia Production Credit Association and the National Farm Loan Association) came to ask if I was interested in applying for a bookkeeping job with them. Their executive committee interviewed me that afternoon and I went to work a few days later.

The work ethic, honesty, and integrity instilled in me at an early age paid off. I continued to learn more and more about as much of the business as I could, took all the courses and training Farm Credit offered. Most related to accounting, loan processing, training and management. Just keeping up with changes taking place in a financial institution was a challenge then as it is today and will continue. Actually, the organization and I grew together. The bookkeeping position in 1950 turned into the position of Vice-President, Financial and Administrative Services. In1988, when the local organization, which served counties in Southside Virginia and the cities of Suffolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach, merged with four other Farm Credit Associations to become Colonial Farm Credit, I retired and became a full-time homemaker and wife, and a part-time Grammy to two grandsons.

The U. S. Army drafted Shirley in January 1951. He served two years and we were married twelve days after his discharge. We went back to our jobs five days later. Our son Jimmy was born twelve months later, the most precious Christmas gift I ever had. He was a joy to raise, and his father was always there and had a positive influence in his life. We had no other children.

Jimmy and his first wife, Gloria, have two boys. Taylor is now a student at James Madison University and Emory is in high school at New Kent.

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.

Notes:

Died on his father's 59th birthday while home on leave from Howard AFB, Panama. It was snowing very heavily and he and his friend (James (Jimmy) Russell Howard from Spottsylvania) crashed head on into a tractor trailer on Rt. 29 in Amherst County. It is unknow which was driving.

Calvin gave Gene HC's Demolay ring after HC's death.

HC was buried with Gene's "original parachute wings" since HC was the one that convinced Gene to go into the Air Force as an Air Traffic Controller (CCT Special Ops)

HC was dating an American dependant while in Panama and it was getting to be a rather serious relationship. Gene met with her while he was in Panama and she was a very pretty girl and very nice.

One time while living in Hanover Courthouse, HC and James (Jimmy) bought an old car in Fredericksburg and drove it all the way back with no brakes, except for the clutch and parking brake. They made it with a few hair raising moments.

Living In:
They had a trailer beside the store. The store is still there. One day Calvin decided that HC needed to lose weight, so he made him dig a 2' ditch around the trailer and then fill it back in. All this was because HC loved his moon pies and cartons of milk (and a lot of other sweets) and put on a lot of weight. HC never went back to a lot sweets again and retained his much lower weight.

Buried:
Paige West Cowden, loving and devoted wife, mother, proud grandmother, aunt and loyal friend, was called home after a long fight with cancer. She passed away Sunday, November 15, 2015 in her home surrounded by family and friends.
Born in Suffolk, Virginia, on November 20, 1941, to the late Thelma H. West and Herman T. West, she was predeceased by her brother, Thomas L. West.
In 1960, Paige met and married her husband and the love of her life, Dr. Robert Cowden. Married for over 54 years, they had three children, two sons and a daughter. Her children and son-in-law, daughter-in-law, soon to be daughter-in-law and beautiful granddaughter, completed what was her most precious possession in life, her family.
To her family, Paige was many things: lawyer, chef, cop, nurse, counselor, confidant, and above all, a fierce protector of those she loved. She loved her family and friends. She found joy in the little things, and her special touch and attention to detail is what made her house a home. Paige had a bottomless font of forgiveness and a huge capacity to love. She made this world a better place and she will be dearly missed.
Following graduation from Suffolk High School, Paige spent many years as a stay-at-home mother.

Justin Landon Horne was born April 24, 1956 in Richmond, VA. He was raised in the family home on Jessup Road where the family moved when he was just 6 weeks old. His sister, Elizabeth "Betsy" Eunice Horne, joined the family 14 months later on July 2, 1957. Appropriately, Justin's father's fishing boat had 2- 18 horsepower outboard motors year models 1956 & 1957. The family frequently would go fishing (almost every weekend, weather permitting) in the 18' long WWII Army surplus 1/2 pontoon boat, that Justin still uses today.
In 1974, Justin graduated from Meadowbrook High School in Chesterfield County, VA, where he was a member of the Math Club Society. He was accepted into both colleges he applied to: Virginia Tech, and Bluefield College. He graduated from Bluefield College in 1976, with an Associates of Science, and that is where he met his future wife, Martha Jean White. They both transferred to Madison College and there Justin earned a B.S. in Physics with a Math minor, and lacked only 1 credit of earning a double minor with high school education. They were in the first graduating class, 1978, of James Madison University, in Harrisonburg, VA. Justin & Martha married, shortly after graduation, on May 20, 1978.

After five years of marriage, Pamela Gayle Horne entered their family on May 25, 1983. Pamela suffered from birth trauma and as a result is severely retarded and experienced over 50,000 seizures in just the first 6 months of her life. Her Neurologist commented that in his now 35+ years of practice, she has had the most seizures of anyone he has known, who lived. She has been a blessing to all who have met her and is usually the center of attention in a gathering. Pamela graduated from Atlee High School in 2005, and continues to live with Martha and Justin.
Justin served in several churches during his ministry in North Carolina and Virginia from 1979 to 1998. The most remote location was on Chincoteague Island, VA, 1983-87 and the longest tenure was 8 years in King George, VA, 1989-97. Justin moved back to Richmond to be close to and take care of his aging parents in 1997. As of 2006, Justin has completed his 8th year with Capital One Financial. Justin and Martha are now working on building their new home, which they designed, in the woods behind the family home on Jessup Rd.

Notes:

Faye is a short petite little thing. Her cousin Tommy West was a strapping young man in the military (Rangers). One day, when Tommy was there on leave, Faye climbed on a desk and karate chopped (she saw how to do it on TV) Tommy on the neck as he came around a corner of a room at the house on Crenshaw. Tommy went down like an ox. Oh yes, and Faye ran and hid.

Faye has raised Poms for years and used to show them.

Faye by Faye Howard:
WHO AM I?

I am now a 64 year old woman and my motto is "Live Well, Love Much and Laugh Often."

I worked for Department Of Corrections in General Services and assisted the Directors and their staff for almost 20 years before retiring. I want to share 3 things I felt extra proud to accomplish:

I organized the DOC mini-pool, assigned units vehicles, and designed the sign-out sheets etc. which are still used today. I changed out copiers, increased not only staff productivity but provided copiers with the newest technology from the time it was given me to do until I left. The first 3 years I save the state over $77,000 a year for the 1^st three years and even more each year after that.

In my free time and at home, I designed and set-up the Distribution Accounting Voucher for computers and had it approved by the Department of Accounts for all DOC State Agencies. I also, made the Supply Room Order form on the computer. This started more forms that could be generated on the computer thus improving staff productivity and saving money for the state by removing typewriters and not having to use multi-part printed forms everybody hated.

I want to share with you some of the most important things that have happened to me. First, I had two sons, Bryant who is 43 and married to Charlee and Tim who is 41 is married to Alice. I have 5 grandchildren, Mathew, Nicholas, Andrew, Emma, and Cameron, and I have 7 step great-grandchildren. I love my family very much.

I always wanted to be an architect so I designed, drew the plans and helped build 3 of my homes that I lived in. The first was built in Cooper City, Florida; it was 3600 sq. ft. The second was built in Powhatan; it was 2072 sq, feet. The third was built in Chester; it was 2800 sq. ft. The teacher at J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College would bring his House Class to watch the construction of our house each week. A couple in the class offered us $30,000 more than what it cost us to build the house. Of course, I couldn't agree to sell it.

On February 14th, 2003 I married my 2nd husband, John Pleasants and I am so happy I did.

I raised and showed Pomeranians. I was 17 when I bought my first Pom and 18 in the show ring. My 3rd Pomeranian had 16 champions in one line and she was also, the great-great-great grandmother to the only Pomeranian that has won the Westminister Dog Show, his name was Great Elms Prince Charming II. This would not have happened without the help of the breeding of Maynard Wood and Ruth Beam and others. The last time I bred my Pom, 8 years ago, Furby sired the only 6 month old Pom, to my knowledge, that completed his championship in a 4 day show called the Virginia Beach Kennel Show in Virginia Beach. This would not have happened if Margaret had not let her female meet Furby. My kennel name is "Magic's Kennel" and my line spreads across the country. Our cousin, Robert "Bob" Goodrich was the one that supported me. He taught me what I needed to know about Pomeranians and was there for me anytime I needed him. We only have 4 Pomeranians now and they are April, Furby, Champion Lovebug, and Cuddles and we also, have 1 Cockatiel named Tweety.

I am an animal lover; I feed the birds of all kinds even humming birds, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, fox and any other critter that comes in my yard to eat. I love flowers, plants and all God's beauty around me.

Since my retirement John has kept me on the go. I am a member of the Virginia Alumni Association for the Blind in Staunton and I have been serving as the Hall of Fame Chairman for the last 5 years and was re-elected to start my 6th year, July 1st.

I have been a member of the Lions Club for 4 years. Our motto is "WE SERVE". The Lion Clubs serve in 206 countries, in regions battered by natural disasters, in hospitals, schools, health programs, senior citizen centers, eyeglass recycling centers and provide eye exams and hearing aids and help people with Diabetes. We serve our communities we live in and we protect our planet and we do so much more.

I have held the offices as Director - 4 years, Lion Tamer - 1 year, Secretary - 2 ½ years, and Zone Chairman 1 year. I will be 1st Vice President of Varina Lions Club and Zone Chairman in my District beginning July 1st .

I have received the following Awards:

The Proud Lion Award and Pin from the Lions of Virginia on 2/19/08. Only a few Lions have received this award.

The Council of Governors for the State of Virginia Award on 11/23/09. The nominated Lions, who are usually nominated by a Past District Governor or the serving Governor, are voted on by the Council of Governors. Each Governor in their District pre-sent them in their term of office when they visit the Club the nominated Lion is in. Five or us received this award for 2009-2010 in our District 24-B.

The International President's Letter of Commendation and his pin were presented to me by the International President Sid L. Scruggs III on August 28, 2010 at our Lions Fall Conference at the Luncheon Banquet. Usually only two are awarded each year to a District but this year four of us received them.

Now, my goal is to be installed at the Lions International Convention in Hawaii as District Governor in 2015. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

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.
