Chapter 10—Abraham Honaker

First Generation

1. Abraham[1] Honaker. His was the only Honaker will in Bland County Will Book 1, which covers the period 1861-1901, as abstracted by Bogle.

An unidentified gunsmith book said that his shop was near Plumb Creek, New River area, then-Montgomery Co., Va., on his 510 acres, deeds dated 1823-1836.

He married Sarah Ann Cline, daughter of Peter Cline and Elizabeth Rife (also Riffe) ca. 1803 in Virginia. Born ca. 1784 in Montgomery Co., Va. in the part that is now either Wythe or Bland County. Died after 1870 in Bland Co., Va., as she was living with her son Andrew Jackson Honaker at the 1870 census. In 2010 there existed a Cline Family Assn., 31636 Winners Circle, Avon Lake OH 44012, devoted to study of the descendants of Peter Cline, “Revolutionary War Soldier & Pioneer of the Tug River Region of Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.”

In 2002, family researcher Judith (Gordon) Blackwell found a court case in Montgomery County in which Sarah Ann (Cline) Honaker and her sister-in-law Peggy, wife of Michael Cline, had wielded a weapon against a court official and recovered two saddles he had taken from Michael for indebtedness. The handwritten document:

Commonwealth vs. Salley Honaker—Indictment for a breach of the peace.

Virginia Montgomery County

To wit

The Grandjurors for the Commonwealth and for the body of the County of Montgomery impannelled in the Superior Court of Law held for said County this 3rd day of October 1814 upon their oath present that Salley Honaker spinster & wife of Abram Honaker late of the County aforesaid on or about the fifteenth day of October [sic] July in the year of Christ One thousand and eight hundred and fourteen at the County of Montgomery aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Law appointed by Law to be holden in and for the County of Montgomery aforesaid with force and arms an assault did make in and upon the body of One William Elliott a constable who was then and there duly executing his office as constable by executing an attachment obtained from Ezekiel Howard a justice of the peace in & for Montgomery in favour of James Fuller against the property of Michael Cline an absconding debtor and him the said William Elliott she the said Salley Honaker did then and there beat wound and ill treat and other wrongs and enormities then and there did commit to the evil example of all others in like cases offending and against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth.

Upon the Information of William Elliott a constable in and for Montgomery County prosecutor. A. Lewis, foreman. William Elliott Sworn in Court to give evidence to the Grand Jury upon this Indictment. E. Rawlins, D.C., Oct. 2nd 1814.

Children:

vi. Mary (called Polly). Her husband Claibourn died in 1904.

x. Sarah E. (called Sally). The marriage to Andrew J. Breeding was listed by Vogt, Pulaski County Virginia Marriages 1839-1857. Some sources attribute a second marriage to John S. Ewart 25 May 1852 in Pulaski County. However, Vogt and Smith-Riffe identify that wife as Sarah Jane Honaker, whom we believe to be Sarah Jane[4] (Henry[3], Jesse[2], Henry[1]).

xi. Edith (called Edie). Several researchers reported Edith as a daughter of Abraham. Edith may have been instead the granddaughter of Abraham’s brother Henry. Abraham’s son Jacob married Jane Bradshaw, and Edith married, first, William Bradshaw. The Bradshaw parents are not fully identified, so we can’t tell whether Jane and William were siblings.

Second Generation

2. Samuel C.[2] Honaker (Abraham[1]). Born 20 Aug 1806 in Montgomery (also reported as Wythe) Co., Va. Died after 1880 in Missouri. He was a miller.

Family researcher Mary Alice Culbreath King determined in 2007 that Samuel’s family was enumerated in the 1830 Montgomery Co., Va., census, on the line just below Abraham Honaker. The listing shows two males under 5 years and one female under 5 years. That census did not name the children. We know that Elinder Jane and Peter Abraham were two of the three, but not the identity of the other child, who may subsequently have died, or could have been Hugh M., reportedly born the same year as Elinder Jane.

His family was enumerated in the 1850 Pulaski Co., Va. census. Researcher Joan Nichols reported that in 1849 Samuel appeared in court owing $404, putting up collateral which the court allowed him to keep because it was needed to help him repay the debt, which was satisfied 9 Dec 1852. Things must have improved significantly, because in Nov 1853 he bought 140 acres, with “houses, mills & machinery and fixtures”, for $500 on Chadwicks Creek of the Big Sandy River, Greenup Co., Ky. He appeared on Greenup County tax lists in 1855 (four children), 1856 (four children) and 1857 (three children; John W. is shown separately).

Samuel C. and Hugh M. Honaker

There is a relationship between Samuel C. and Hugh M. Honaker. Hugh’s line is listed in this book’s Unidentified Chapter. He was born the same year that Samuel’s eldest child was born, 1827, which suggests that he may have been a nephew; or he may have been descended from another family line altogether. Hugh M. Honaker preceded Samuel C. Honaker to Greenup County, being enumerated there in the 1850 census.

Research on Greenup Co., Ky. tax lists by family genealogist Joan Nichols showed that there were two lists from 1839 to 1857. “In the early years,” she said, “there was only one list for each year. Later, the list was in two parts, named Part 1 and Part 2 or Upper District and Lower District. Upper and lower were in relation to the Ohio River. Therefore, Upper District was closer to Pittsburgh and Lower District was closer to Louisville.”

Tax list entries from 1851 to 1857 identified Hugh, M.H. and H.M. Honaker, who Joan believed to be Hugh M. Entries from 1855 to 1857 identified Samuel, S.C. and S., who Joan believed to be Samuel C. Most interestingly, Joan found that in 1856 “S. & H.M.” Honaker were recorded as jointly owning eight cattle valued at $1,000.

Joan recorded the following extract from the tax lists: 1851, Part 1—Hugh Honaker, 1 white male, 1 town lot, value $200; 1852, Upper District—M.H. Honaker, 1 white male, 2 town lots, value $450; 1853—no tax book; 1854—no Honaker entries; 1855, Part 1—Charles Honaker, 1 white male; H.M. Honaker, 1 white male, 2 town lots, value $1,500, 1 timepiece, value $5; Samuel Honaker, 1 white male, 4 children, 200 acres Catletts Creek, value $1,000, 1 timepiece, value $10, 1 horse, value $100, 5 cattle, value $25; 1856, Part 1—Will Honaker, 1 white male, Charles Honaker, 1 white male, S.C. Honaker, 1 white male, 4 children, 140 acres Chadwicks Creek, value $500, 1 horse, value $75, 7 cattle, value $30, S.& H.M. Honaker, 8 cattle, value $275, value under equalization law $1,000, H.M. Honaker, 1 white male, 3 town lots, value $2,000; 1857, Part 1—Samuel Honaker, 1 white male, 3 children, 1 horse, value $80, 8 cattle, not valued, H.M. Honaker, 1 white male, 200 acres Campbell Branch, value $500, 2 town lots, value $2,100, timepiece, value $6, John W., 1 white male, 1 child. None of the tax list entries for Hugh listed any children although he had three between 1854 and 1858.

In Sep 1858, Samuel sold his holdings in Butler County for $1,800. Between then and the 1860 census, he moved the family to Missouri, where they were enumerated in the 1860 Cole Co., Mo., census, Jefferson City, Clark Twp., household #405 (all born in Virginia), as Samuel Hormiker, 53, $100 of personal property, farmer; Milly, 50; Chester, 22; Samuel, 18; Harry, 16; Elizabeth, 14.

A granddaughter, Dessie Arden (Honiker) Sestak, said that the Honaker and Morgan families traveled to the Mary’s Home and Eugene, Mo., area together in the same wagon train. The Morgans were from Ohio.

He married, first, Emilina (also Emilia) (called Millie) Unknown ca. 1825 in Wythe Co., Va. The service was performed by Lewis G. Wood/Woods. Born ca. 1810 in England. Her birthplace was recorded in a Missouri census report for her son Samuel L.

There is confusion among three similarly named reported daughters, Elinder Jane, Sarah Ellen, and Eleanor. Census data, which should clarify this, instead complicate it. We are not sure our version of names is correct, but since three different birthdates were reported and are plausible, we assume all three existed. Samuel’s eldest child and daughter was reported as Elinder Jane, Ellen, Elenor, Ellena, Ellander, and Elvira. Two of those names, Ellen and Eleanor, were also reported for sisters. We have determined the eldest daughter’s correct given name is Elinder Jane because it was written so in her own hand, but we do not know what nicknames she (and the others) may have gone by.

He married, second, Brittania Murice Jenkins, daughter of Harrison Harvey Jenkins and Lydia M. Berry, 26 Mar 1871 in Miller Co., Mo. The service was performed by William E. Lurton, justice of the peace. It was also her second marriage. Born ca. 1837 in Tennessee. Died after 1880 in Missouri. Children:

xiv. Robert Lee. Born 27 Aug 1875 in Miller County. Died 19 Nov 1876 in Miller County. Buried in Jenkins Cemetery, Miller County.

3. Margaret J.[2] Honaker (called Peggy) (Abraham[1]). Born 29 Apr 1808 in Montgomery Co., Va. Died after 1880 in Dublin, Pulaski Co., Va. The 1840 and 1860 censusus enumerated her in Pulaski County.

She married William James Journell (also Jenelle and Gherknell), son of John Charles Journell and Polly Unknown, 19 Jul 1827 in Montgomery County. Born Sep 1809 in Augusta Co., Va. Virginia death records show that Margaret reported his death as 15 Jul 1879 in Montgomery County. On-line genealogy records give the death as in Bland Co., Va. He was a farmer. Sherwood, 54th Virginia Infantry, lists him as a private in Co. F, 54th Virginia Infantry, C.S.A. Children:

4. Jacob[2] Honaker (Abraham[l]). He is listed by Hutslar, Gunsmiths of Ohio.

5. Peter Cline[2] Honaker (Abraham[l]). He and his family were enumerated in the 1850 Tazewell Co., Va., census as Honacre.

He married Mary Ann Haven Davidson, eldest child (of eight) of James Cartmill Davidson and Julia Haven Brown, in Rocky Gap, Va. (also reported as unknown city, North Carolina.) Haigler, Davidson Family of Virginia and West Virginia, said that James Cartmill Davidson was recommended in 1823 for lieutenant in the Army of Tazewell [Va.] and refers to him with that title. Haigler said also that Tazewell Co., Va., marriage records show the marriage of Peter Cline and Mary Ann as 23 May 1842, the most authoritative source to date. Children:

iv. Peter C. Jr. Virginia death records indicate he died of diphtheria 22 Sep 1861 at age 7 and a half, and that he was born in Bland County.

6. Henry[2] Honaker (Abraham[l]). Born 15 Mar 1815 in Montgomery Co., Va. The 1840 census enumerated him and Elizabeth on June 1, living in Newbern, Pulaski Co., Va. Subsequent censuses gave variant spellings for the surname, and birth years that varied by up to several years. By way of explanation, spelling and dates were frequently offhand in those days. Even in the present day, enumerators accept estimated dates from adult sources who are not necessarily family members. Because researcher and census dates vary for the family, we’re uncertsain that dates and birth order are correct as given below. We hope that some day family Bible entries may provide more certainty.

The 1850 census enumerated Henry’s family on July 22, living in the Western District, Tazewell Co., Va.: Henry Honeacre, 35, cabinetmaker, b. in Va.; Elizabeth, 30, b. in Va.; William C., 10, b. in Va.; And[rew] J., 9, b. in Va.; Mary J., 6, b. in Va.; Jas. D., 3, b. in Va.; Sarah C., 3, b. in Va. The 1860 census enumerated the family Sept. 11, living in Giles Co., Va.: Henry Honaker, 45, blacksmith, b. in Va.; Elizabeth, 39, b. in Va.; William, 18, farm laborer, b. in Va.; Andrew, 16, farm laborer, b. in Va.; Mary, 13, b. in Va.; James, 11, b. in Va.; Sarah, 10, b. in Va.; Margaret, 7, b. in Va.; Erastus, 5, b. in Va.; Charles, 3, b. in Va.; John, 2, b. in Va.

The 1870 census enumerated Henry’s family August 31 in Beaver Pond, Mercer Co., W.Va.: Henry Honaker, 50, blacksmith, b. in Va.; Sarah, 39, housekeeper, b. in Va.; Caroline V., 9, b. in Va. Robert L., 2, b. in W.Va.; Russel B., 3 mo., b. in W.Va.; and six Hager surname children between the ages of 9 and 12, all born in Virginia (born to Sarah and her first husband)—William W., James M., Archibald B., Alexander, Mary L., and Saulda A.

The 1880 census enumerated Henry’s family June 26 in Peters Creek, Pike Co., Ky.: Henry Honaker, 65, farmer, b. in Va., parents b. in Va.; Sarah, 45, keeping house, b. in Va., parents born in Va.; Victoria, 21, working on farm, b. in Va., parents born in Va.; Robert L., 13, farm laborer, b. in Va., parents born in Va.; Russel B., 11, farm laborer, b. in Va., parents born in Va. Victoria, above, was born Mary L. Victoria Hager, a daughter of Sarah and her first husband.

He married, first, Elizabeth Carbough 15 Feb 1840 in Pulaski Co., Va. The minister was Edward Morgan. The marriage was listed by Vogt, Pulaski County Virginia Marriages 1839-1857. Researchers reported her born 10 Oct 1812. Died before 1867. Children:

38. i. William Carlton[3]. Born 1840 in Virginia.

39. ii. Andrew Jackson. Born 5 Nov 1843 in Radford, Va.

iii. Mary J. Born ca. 1844 in Va. Died 14 Dec 1861 in Bland Co., Va. Virginia death records indicate she died of diphtheria at age 17.

41. iv. James David (called Jim). Born 1847 in Tazewell, Va.

v. Sarah C. Born ca. 1848 in Virginia. Died of diphtheria 17 Dec 1861 in Bland Co., Va. One researcher reported that she married James Gibson, unlikely considering her age.

vi. Nancy S. Born ca. 1852 in Virginia.

vii. Margaret. Born ca. 1853 in Virginia.

viii. Erastus G. Born ca. 1854 in Virginia.

ix. Charles H. Born 10 Sep 1856 in Wolf Creek, Tazewell Co., Va. Virginia state records

indicate that he died 23 Dec 1861 in Bland Co., Va.

x. John M. Born ca. 1858 in Virginia. He married Jeanette Graham (called Jenny) 5 Sep

1883 in Mercer Co., W.Va.

6. xi. Caroline Virginia. Born 15 Jun 1861 in Wolf Creek, Bland Co., Va.

One researcher reported that of their children, ten died of “black diphtheria,” thought to be whooping cough—Mary, Sarah, Nancy, Margaret, and six of the seven sons. Nancy, Margaret, Erastus and John are not listed in the household in the 1870 census. Researchers reported two more children who would have been born during the time that Henry and Elizabeth were married, but the two do not appear on the 1850 census as they should have. They are (1) Alice E. Honaker, b. ca. 1846, m. Isaac P. Scott 1 Mar 1883, one known child, Virginia, who m. Unknown Green; (2) Abraham Honaker, b. ca. 1849, m. Jane French.

Henry married, second, Sarah Stump Hager, daughter of William Stump and Mary Unknown, widow of William Russell Hager, 6 Feb 1867, in Mercer Co., W.Va. West Virginia marriage records gave Henry’s age as 46 years, 10-mo., 22-days, blacksmith, widower. Evan H. Brown performed the ceremony. Sarah, born May 1830 in Tazewell Co., Va., was 35 years, 6-mo., 8 days, widowed. She married, first, William Hager 21 Jan 1847. He died 9 Nov 1864. She brought their six children to her second marriage. She married, third, William Blankenship 7 Jul 1892 in Pike Co., Ky. The 1900 census enumerated her in Blackberry, Pike County: Sarah Blankinsky, 70, b. May 1830, married 8 years, mother of 15 children, 10 living; Victory Hager, 40, stepdaughter [Mary L.Victoria Hager.]

Children (of Henry and Sarah):

xii. Robert L. Born 6 Nov 1867 in Mercer Co., W.Va.

xiii. Russel B. Born 16 Aug 1969 in Mercer County.

7. John M.[2] Honaker (Abraham[l]). He is listed by Hutslar, Gunsmiths of Ohio.

He married Julia Ann Carter. She was enumerated in the 1880 Brown County census with her sons James and John, and her grandson, Thomas [Sheldon] Tucker. Living adjacent to Julia were her daughter and son-in-law, Hannah and Daniel Tucker, and the three other children they had at the time.

In 2002 a descendant, Carole Anderson, reported that she had received a photo of a gravestone from Mt. Orab, Ohio, Cemetery in which the stone was inscribed Wm Honaker Col, 31 USV Inf. 1861–1865. We suspect that this William was John’s stepson, William A. Dean, who was commonly known with the Honaker surname, but whose obituary identified him with the correct surname, Dean. The Ohio Historical Society lists a William Dean who was born 10 Jan 1838, and died 27 Jun 1915 in Middletown, Butler Co., Ohio, buried Mt. Orab, Ohio, 29 Jun 1915. William’s wife provided the information, saying that William was the son of George Dean and Julia Carter, both born in West Virginia.

8. James A.[2] Honaker (Abraham[l]). See photograph. Raleigh County death records indicate he was 78, a gunsmith, died of old age, and his death was reported by [Robert] Lewis Hunter, son-in-law.

On 8 Aug 2007, Honaker Family Assn. chaplain and historian Rev. Albert Elswick, then of Ripplemead, Va., wrote the following article for the Winter 2007 Honaker Family Newsletter:

The First Homestead of James A. Honaker

Among all of the Honaker gunsmiths perhaps the best known—in the family at least—is James A. Honaker, son of gunsmith Abraham Honaker and his wife Sarah Ann (Sally) Cline Honaker. He was born on the New River in what was then Montgomery County, Va., but in that part of the county which is now Pulaski County, on July 6, 1818, and died on July 24, 1897, at Arnett, Raleigh County, W.Va.

He married Minerva Ann Kirk in Pulaski County on Oct. 12, 1845. She was born Sept. 14, 1829 and died at Arnett Feb. 3, 1892. According to our Honaker Family in America, pp. 899-900, James and Minerva had 17 children. Apparently the first eight were born while they lived in Virginia—Sarah Etta, Elizabeth Jane, Olevia Ann, Paulina Obedience, Andrew Abraham, Arminta Mandona, Mary Luther, and William Baxter.

James and Minerva evidently moved across the county line into Giles Co., Va., soon after their marriage since they are listed in the 1850 U.S. Census of that county, living in house no. 825. The record lists: Honaker, James, 32, gunsmith; Manerva, 21; Sarah, 4; Elizabeth, 2; “Allevion” [Olevia Ann], 1; Martha, 2 mo.; Jernell, Franklin, 21, gunsmith.

The last entry is what makes the life of “Uncle” (actually great-great-great Uncle) James Honaker so very interesting to me. “Franklin Jernell” in this 1850 census record, the earliest known record mentioning him by name, is none other than my own great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Journell, son of William J. Journell, and Margaret J. (Honaker) Journell—James A. Honaker’s older sister.

Benjamin Franklin Journell was born in what is now Pulaski Co., Va., about 1828–1829, and as a loyal soldier of the Confederacy, was shot dead, in the back, by Yankee bushwhackers in front of his house in Fayette Co., (now W.Va.), probably late in 1862. Oddly enough he is also listed in the same 1850 Census of Giles County in the household of his parents, house no. 852. The census taker apparently could not spell the unfamiliar name and rendered it “Gerknell!”

Evidently William and Margaret were living a few miles southeast of James Honaker, close to the line between Pulaski and Giles Counties, and near where Little Creek flows through a gap in Walker Mountain and joins Walkers Creek in its northerly course to the New River between Pembroke and Pearisburg.

But of even more interest to me than where Benjamin Franklin Journell was living in 1850 is the fact that he, too, is listed by the census taker as a “Gunsmith.” It is quite apparent that he had been apprenticed to his uncle James to learn the family trade. Now, based on his age, it would seem that this arrangement had become something of a partnership.

My grandmother, Clara Etta Journell Elswick Green, had told me in the mid-1970s that he was indeed a gunsmith and, because of it, was very valuable to the Confederate army. I have never yet found a gun he made, but I have people on the lookout for one! I hope those who read this article will also be on the lookout for me!

James Honaker and Benjamin F. Journell also appear on the Giles County tax list of 1854. Benjamin is charged with one tithable (taxable male over 18) and billed $2. James is also, but his total tax bill is $2.59. The poll tax was evidently more than the real estate tax! Those were the days!

But, just where did James A. Honaker live? Either because someone casually offered an opinion, or because I simply assumed it, I had long thought that he (and, thus, my Benjamin Franklin Journell) lived on, or near, Wolf Creek, in or around what is now Rocky Gap, Va., in present Bland County. Bland County was created in 1861 and the area around Rocky Gap was taken from Giles County. James’ brother, Peter Cline Honaker, also a gunsmith, lived at Rocky Gap, and is buried there in his own family cemetery, which overlooks I-77. Another brother, Andrew Jackson Honaker (in whose home their parents Abraham and Sally Honaker spent their last years) lived further up Wolf Creek, near the present Tazewell Co., Va., line.

Well, I could not have been more wrong! Last December I had occasion to be doing some research on another of my ancestral Giles County families, the Drakes, in the Local History Room of the Pearisburg Library. I am now happily retired and very much at home in Giles County. Quite by chance I happened upon a two-volume historical and architectural survey of the county done by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The WPA was a Depression-era federal employment program.

As I casually browsed through it, much to my amazement, I found a report on the “James Haanaker House” done by one Lula V. White, of Narrows, Va., Nov. 3, 1937. It is a three-page report. The first is a title page, the second contains historical information, and the third an architectural description.

Lengthy correspondence with the Library of Virginia in Richmond (which holds the originals of these records,) and the Alderman Library of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, failed to produce a picture of the house. This was a major disappointment since most of the buildings in the survey were photographed at the time.

This left me with only Ms. White’s description to work with. Page two of her report states that the house was located “¼ mile [south] from Bane, Va., on Route #100 to north [really west] of highway, north [really west] of big Walkers Creek.” At that time what is a two-lane road along the east side of Walkers Creek (now designated as Giles County Route 749) and now a four-lane Route 100, southeast of Walkers Creek, was a narrow road, the old Pulaski-Giles Turnpike. It crossed the creek at a ford where there is now a low-water bridge, and then ran along the west side of the creek out to the Route 100 of 2007, at what is still called Bane.

Ms. White states that the house was built “Prior to 1851” and lists the known owners in succession as “James Haanaker, Oliver Gordon, and Arthur Brown.” She then describes the house as she saw it in 1937: “This is a story and a half log house with two windows and one door which has been torn away. The floors and stairway are also gone. The house has a shingle roof. The chimney is torn away and the logs are badly decayed. The chinking is gone from between the logs, and the building leans to one side.”

Apparently everything in the house which could be put to use had aleady been stripped from it.

Commenting on its “Historical Significance” Ms. White writes (my emphasis) “James Haanaker made muzzle loading rifles here from 1851 until he left. Flood water got in this house in 1878.” She lists her informants as “Mr. Frank Brown and Mr. Arthur Brown, both of Bane, Va.”

On page three of her report, Ms. White gives a more complete description of the house. She states that the “Building Plan” is Square, that the house has a cellar, that it is two stories, built of logs, that it has a Gabled Roof which is Shingle, that no chimney remains, that it has two windows and “Both are gone,” that it has no porch, that the door was “torn away.” She describes what was left of the interior, saying that it had two large rooms, that the ceiling height was “8 ft.,” again that the “Stairway [was] torn away” and that the “Door is gone” and “Locks & hinges [are] all gone” as are the floors and mantel(s). She sums up her report by saying that the house is in “Poor Condition, has never been repaired”—something of an understatement

Having read this sad report about an important Honaker home, and one where my own great-great-grandfather had spent a very significant phase of his life, I reluctantly concluded, considering its condition in 1937,

that it had not survived the passing of these 70 years. But, I was still anxious to find its actual location.

At this point I talked with my neighbor, Gale Blevins, a retired employee of the county highway department, who outlined the changes in the road system in that area over the years (see above.) In addition, he told me that his grandfather had owned and rented large tracts of land in the Bane area and, correctly, suggested where I should look for the house site. He also suggested I speak with Frank Brown, namesake and kinsman of Ms. White’s 1937 informant.

An elderly gentleman, he is Sunday school superintendent and lay leader of Bane’s Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church which I attend occasionally. Ellian Diamond (1825-1899), Benjamin Franklin Journell’s mother-in-law, and thus, my great-great-great grandmother, is buried in their churchyard, on a cliff just down the creek from the homesite.

On the far side of Walkers Creek from present Route 100, across a low-water bridge, the upper end of Route 749, is a small bottom fringed by steep hills. There are presently four houses there, a modern ranch at the head of the bottom, next a very early two-story house part way up the hill, which was surely there in James Honaker’s time, then a small gray cottage, and finally a large new ranch, recently completed. Frank Brown directed me to a level place about halfway between the two latter houses, evidently a collapsed cellar hole. The land is posted so I viewed the site from as close as I dared without running the risk of flying bullets!

However, I wanted to be sure I had really found the homeplace, so off to the Circuit Clerk’s Office I went. Giles County celebrated its 200th Anniversary last year and, except for its incomplete marriage records, it has quite good records beginning in 1806. I quickly found two deeds in the name of James Honaker. The first, recorded in Deed Book I, pp. 87-88, is dated Sept. 22, 1851. It states that Thomas C. Farley and Eliza(beth) his wife are selling a tract of 40 acres, more or less, to James Honaker. It further states that James had actually bought this property Dec. 20, 1850, by means of a “title bond” (i.e. a mortgage) which was now fully paid so the land was being transferred to him. Actually the family had evidently lived there for some time prior to December. The 1850 census had been taken based on the date of June 1, 1850, and the deed goes on to say, “...for the further consideration of one Dollar in hand paid to the said Thomas C. Farley & Elizabeth his wife they do hereby grant unto the said Honaker his heirs & etc a certain free and unlimited right of way to and use of a Spring upon said Farleys land being the Same Spring now used by the said Honaker for water and also the right to erect and keep for his Honaker own use a Spring house at and over the said Spring...”

Incidentally, this spring house is still standing—more of which shortly.

Now I had no doubt I had found the right homeplace, for next after James A. Honaker’s house, no. 825, the 1850 census lists four separate Farley families—in houses no. 826, 827, 828, and 829—Thomas C. and Eliza(beth) Farley being in house no. 829.

Then the question arose in my mind as to low long the Honakers, and my Benjamin Franklin Journell, might have lived on this land before the Honakers moved to Raleigh Co., W.Va., where they lived out the rest of their lives. I knew from the 1860 census of Fayette Co., W.Va., that my Journells had already moved to Fayette County by that year. So, I turned to Giles County Deed Book K, pp. 206–207 and found that James and Minerva Honaker had sold their homeplace, as Ms. White had stated—correctly—in her 1937 WPA survey report, to one Oliver Gordon.

The deed is dated Aug. 14, 1856 and the tract is listed as containing 48 acres more or less. The metes and bounds are the same as in 1851, so James had apparently had the land resurveyed during his time on it. The deed also states that the 48 acres is sold [my emphasis] “with the appertinances thereunto belonging.” This wording normally indicates a house, and perhaps other buildings. This deed of sale, for whatever reason, makes no specific mention of the spring or of the springhouse.

Three days before the deed of sale was drawn up, James had gone to the clerk’s office and picked up his 1851 deed of purchase. His deed of sale, dated Aug. 14, was not recorded with the clerk until Dec. 8, 1856. This may provide a clue as to when he actually moved his family to Raleigh County.

At this point it seemed that I had gone as far as I could with my investigations, since James’ old house had apparently “returned to the earth as it was,” to quote Scripture. I did have a slight hope that I might be able to locate a picture of it, which might have been taken some time before it had disappeared, so, at Pleasant Hill Church one Sunday, I again spoke with Frank Brown. He matter-of-factly replied that a cousin of his, Lena Gail (Brown) Cox, had grown up on the place and still lived there—in the small gray cottage mentioned above!

I was finally able to meet and interview Gail Cox on July 26th. She is the daughter of Wesley Bullard “Skinny” and Lennie Evangeline (Stoneman) Brown. She informed me that Wesley was born in the old log house on Jan. 26, 1916 and that she and her husband, the late Carl Cox, who died in 2000, had lived in it until the 1990s and that it had caught fire and burned to the ground while they were in the process of moving from it into a mobile home which had been set up next door!

I was totally confused by this since her statements contradicted the information about the Honaker house which had been recorded by Ms. White in 1937. I showed her this report and she studied it carefully and shook her head. She had no idea what house was being referred to in it, but said that her “old log house was the gunsmith’s house,” and “the old people” used to say there were gun parts buried in the yard, though none had ever been found.

The house she knew and lived in most of her life, which stood on the very spot where the small gray cottage we were in at that moment stands, had been a two-story log house, originally with a dog trot in the center on the first floor, which was later enclosed and made into a bedroom.

In her lifetime the house had six rooms, three down and three up, with rock chimneys at each end, and a double porch across the front. A wood frame ell had been added at the back for a kitchen. Gail Cox then proceeded to draw me rough sketches of the house’s façade and of its floor plan—as she knew them.

I then asked her about the spring referred to in the 1851 deed. It is still there, and the stone springhouse too—presumably built by James A. Honaker since the deed gave him permission to build one (see above.) Gail informed me that in her younger days the spring was still their water source but was now polluted and the water no longer drinkable. Naturally, I was anxious to go down and see and photograph it. She informed me that it is located down under the hill in a thicket “crawling with snakes,” but I was welcome to go see it! I decided to take her word for its being as she described it.

Gail has no pictures of the old house since many things were lost when it burned in the 1990s. However, she informed me that the Giles County Historical Society used to publish an annual calendar with drawings of historic sites, and that a drawing of it had once been published in one of them.

I visited the Historical Society’s library, and could not find the particular calendar I was seeking, but thanks to Mrs. Temple Lawrence, a local historian who serves there, who searched her own personal collection, found it, and sent me a copy of the drawing, we now have a picture of how it looked in the 1980s.

While I was at the Historical Society, Mrs. Lawrence brought me loose files on the Brown and Cox families. In the former I found a statement written by Gail Cox’s father, Wesley “Skinny” Brown, in his own hand, under date of Sept. 5, 1980. I quote it in its entirety since it sheds light on our story:

“To whom & what this may concern: Nimrod & Sarah Lucas Brown purchased the home and 322 acres of land from Judith Clay Farley—the widow of Thomas C Farley 1809 as told to me by Etta Reynolds a cousin of my father who lived to be 94 yrs old.

“Description of the Old Log house on the west bank’s of Walker’s creek of the old turn pike was erected a double log house with a dog trot in the middle, chinked with wooden Block’s dobed [daubed] with a camel hair & clay mud. 2 rock chimneys one on each end—Original Board Roof, it also had a chicken ladder stair way in the lower Room facing the west end.

“Both lower Room’s had fire place, the lower room facing the creek [the east room, on the right in the drawing] [my emphasis] had a black smith shop in it, as I have been told by my uncle.

“Each year the garden is plowed, disced & after a Rain Indian arrow heads can still be found. I was also told by my Oldest uncle that a field up the hollow [west of the house] was called Indin hollow field that a white man Kiled an Indian there and took him around bured him there, it is called the graveyard field. There is a Rock but no name on it.”

Well, my search for James Honaker’s first homestead began with a mystery, and, so it seems, ends with one! There is no question of its location, that is quite plain from the deeds and the spring and all the informants. The question is which house was James’? This is the question because it seems obvious that two different houses have been found! The house described by Ms. White in 1937 had two rooms, was square, and was one-and-a-half stories high. The house described by Wesley Brown and his daughter Gail, and pictured in the 1988 Historical Society Calender, had five, later six, rooms, was rectangular, and was a full two stories high. The only thing these two houses had in common is that both were located on the same plot of ground, and both were built of logs!

My personal opinion, and this is all it is, my opinion, based on my extensive research into the matter, and noting contradictory as well as patently correct information by all the informants, is that the house Gail Brown lived in until it burned in the 1990s, and not the one described by Ms. White, is the true home of James A. and Minerva Honaker. I have four reasons for believing this:

The first “reason” is really just an observation. Comparing the size of the family with the size of their house makes the five-room house more plausible than the two-room house, especially when one includes a gunsmith’s shop into the bargain. Granted, the two-room log house described by Ms. White was as typical of houses in 18th and 19th century Appalachia as the ranch-style house is in 21st century America. However, by 1856 James and Minerva had eight children, six girls and two boys, adding up to a family of ten, plus my Benjamin Franklin Journell, which makes eleven. And, while there is no proof that Benjamin lived on in the house after he married, he did marry Susan Diamond in Giles County about 1855, and their eldest son, Josephus, was born in Giles County Mar. 5, 1856, five months before James and Minerva sold out and moved to West Virginia. Potentially, then, we could have found a family of 13, including two married couples and nine children, in addition to a gunsmith’s shop large enough for two grown men to work in, all in two rooms. To me, this is most unlikely.

It is possible that the house described by Ms. White in 1937 was the original house on the 40 or 48-acre farm purchased in 1851 and continued to serve as the workshop after James built the larger house. And since the larger house originally had a dog trot, it is quite likely that it had been built in two parts at two different times, as many, if not most, dog trot houses were. However, my second reason for believing that Gail’s house was James and Minerva’s home, rather than the other, is the statement made by her father in 1980 that “the lower room facing the creek had a black smith shop in it (my emphasis.) This was the room closest to the creek, and, especially to the Pulaski-Giles Turnpike, which crossed the creek quite close to it—a great business location! However, it must be obvious to anyone that no one in their right mind would put a black smith shop, with its open forge, its flying sparks and its stifling heat, in a house, especially a log house, which indeed did burn down 140-some years later! A gunsmith’s shop, however, is quite a different matter, and I believe Wesley Brown misspoke and intended to call it a “gunsmith shop” which all other informants locate on this land.

This brings me to my third reason for believing we have found James and Minerva’s house—the question of the ownership of James’ land. According to Wesley Brown, his ancestors, Nimrod and Sarah (Lucas) Brown had purchased a 322-acre farm of Thomas “C.” Farley in 1809 from his widow, Judith (Clay) Farley, the land on which, he assumed, his house stood. I have no doubt such a transaction took place, but it did not include James Honaker’s 40 or 48 acres. For a fact, Thomas Farley Sr. (ca. 1725-1796), a soldier of the Revolution, and Judith (Clay) his wife, had extensive land holdings along Walkers Creek. He seems to have been buried down the creek where the Daughters of the American Revolution later erected a monument in his honor. This land, between Walkers Creek, Route 749, and the four-lane Route 100, is now a small park called “the Farley Memorial Wayside,” but it is some distance from the site of the old Honaker-Brown house, and on the other side of the creek. Most importantly, the land on which Gail’s house stood was not part of the 322 acre 1809 purchase. According to Ms. White, and confirmed by James A. Honaker’s own deeds, his land was purchased not in 1809 from the land of Thomas Farley Sr., nor from the land of his son, Thomas Farley Jr. (1760-1839), but from a third Thomas Farley, apparently Thomas Jr.’s son or grandson! And, James Honaker did not sell this land to any of the Browns but to Oliver Gordon. Oliver Gordon (1827-1897) and his wife, Sarah Johnston Gordon (1827-1899), apparently spent their lives on the Farley-Honaker land, and are buried in Pleasant Hill Methodist Church Cemetery near Ellian Diamond, Benjamin Franklin Journell’s mother-in-law, who may actually have been related to Sarah.

And this brings me to my fourth reason for believing that Gail’s house was indeed James and Minerva’s. I am convinced that Ms. White confused the ruined house with the dog trot house. I am convinced because Ms. White was far from accurate in her conclusions. One glaring example involves a house she identified in another report as the “Old Indian Fort.” In this report she places it on Route 100 between Pearisburg and Bane. On the map of the historical sites she inventoried, she places it a few miles south, off Route 100 on Wabash Turnpike. I researched this property extensively also, for a very personal reason. Susan Diamond, Benjamin Franklin Journell’s wife, was described by my grandmother, Clara Etta Journell Elswick Green, as having been born in Giles County and having been “a full-blooded Cherokee.” Her photograph certainly bears out this claim. Since Ms. White had written of an Indian house in the same area where Benjamin Franklin Journell was living at the time, my curiosity was aroused. When I finally found the site of this house, thanks to Gale Blevins, it was at neither location that Ms. White described, but miles from either, at the southwest corner of Routes 663 and 659, near Little Sugar Run, in the valley over the ridge from Walkers Creek and the Honaker land! Gail actually recognized it (it stood into the 1960s) and remarked that it was “a country mile across the hill” from her homeplace. While I cannot prove it was indeed Susan Diamond’s house, its real location, not Ms. White’s two incorrect ones, makes the possibility greater. It is not at all difficult to picture Benjamin walking “a country mile” across the hill to go “sparking” his “fair Indian maid” as an old song puts it!

On 21 Mar 2008, Al wrote the following article for the Summer 2008 Honaker Family Newsletter:

New Revelations on Honaker Gunmaking

This past fall, I learned of an exhibit, “Into the Wilderness: The Settlement of Virginia’s Frontier,” at the William King Regional Arts Center in Abingdon, Va. Such an exhibit would have been of great interest to me in general since I now live in Giles Co., Va., some thirty miles down the New River (northwest) of Radford, Va., which is quite near where my Elswick sixth great-grandfather, John Elswick Jr., settled in 1745, and some thirty-five miles from Draper, Va., where our common ancestor, Hans Jacob Honaker, settled about 1784 and died and was buried in 1796.

But the exhibit was of much more than general interest. Among the items in it were, apparently, three generations of Honaker rifle guns, one attributed to Hans Jacob (1718-1796), one or two to his son, Abraham (1774-1869) and two to Abraham’s son, James A. (1818-1897), the most prolific and best known of all the Honaker gunsmiths. This was doubly interesting to me since I was even then in the process of writing the article on James’ early career here in Giles County, which was published in our Winter, 2007 newsletter.

On Oct. 6, 2007, the exhibit’s curatorial consultant, Colonial Williamsburg Master Gunsmith Wallace Gusler, was scheduled as special guest lecturer in Abingdon. He restored the Abraham rifle at Colonial Williamsburg and spoke with our group some years ago when we had our reunion there, in order to “visit” the gun, which is on permanent display at Williamsburg’s DeWitt Wallace Gallery. I hoped to talk to Mr. Gusler about his view of the authenticity of the newly-identified Hans Jacob rifle, ca. 1771, and the newly-identified Abraham rifle, ca. 1825.

Murphy’s Law being what it is, I was unable to be there to meet Mr. Gusler on the day he spoke. But I was finally able to get to the exhibit on Oct. 19, and saw all five of the Honaker guns for myself—actually I was in the process of photographing them when I was politely but firmly stopped dead in my tracks! After some persuasion I was granted a brief “audience” with the Arts Center Curator of Decorative and Folk Art, Trisha Maust-Blosser. She listened to the background information on our Honaker gunsmiths which I attempted to give her, and my noting of errors in the exhibit labels—with an air of yankee detached academic tolerance, but was polite. And she did, graciously, give me a copy of the exhibit catalog and arranged for me to receive a quantity of posters advertising the exhibit, which feature a color picture of the stock of the Hans Jacob Gun, the same picture that is on the catalog cover. I have a number of the posters picturing the Hans Jacob rifle gun and will bring them to our August reunion and will be happy to give them to interested family members, first come, first served!

The catalog has a picture of the carving on the butt of the Hans Jacob rifle gun: “Fig. 4—detail—Rifle Gun, ca. 1771, attributed to Hans Jacob Honaker, Shenandoah County, Va.” It also has a full-length picture of one of the James rifle guns: “Fig. 11—Rifle Gun, ca. 1840, signed ‘Jas Honaker for LP’. Lock signed ‘J. Stonesifer’, Pulaski County, Va.”

Then the catalog summarizes the data on the five Honaker rifle guns in the exhibit:

(1) “Rifle Gun Attributed to Hans Jacob Honaker/dated 1771/American, Frederick County, Va./Iron, steel, brass, curly maple, & hickory ramrod”

(2) “Rifle Gun/Signed Jas. Honaker (James Honaker,)/ca. 1845/American, Giles County, Va./Iron, steel, brass, silver, curly maple, & hickory ramrod/Two Turkey Calls, Bullet Mold, Steel Cleaning Wiper, Powder Measure, & Shot Bag/Accessories for Honaker rifle above” [If I might interject, it is exceedingly rare for the whole kit to come down intact for over 160 years, along with the gun.]

(3) “Rifle Gun/Attributed to Abraham Honaker, ca. 1825/American, Pulaski County, Va./Iron mounted, steel, curly maple, & hickory ramrod”

(4) “Rifle Gun/Honaker Family, ca. 1840/American, Probably Pulaski County, Va./Iron mounted, steel, curly maple, & hickory ramrod”

(5) “Rifle Gun/Signed Jas. Honaker (James Honaker),/Pulaski County, Va., ca. 1840/Iron, steel, brass, curly maple & hickory ramrod”

While this information in the exhibit catalog is quite interesting in itself, it is really bare-bones. The information on the exhibit labels in the cases, however, was much more detailed, revealing, and interesting. When I inquired at the main desk about obtaining copies of them, as I was being given the posters, the extremely gracious clerk promised to send them to me and she was true to her word:

William King Regional Arts Center—Abingdon, Va.

Into the Wilderness: The Settlement of Virginia’s Frontier

July 28, 2007 – January 6, 2008

Rifle Gun with brass barrel, dated 1771, attributed to Hans Jacob Honaker, Frederick County, Virginia. Overall length 60¾”, barrel length 45¼”, smooth bore, .62 caliber. ID#6.

The attribution of this example to Hans Jacob Honaker is based on many unusual details it shares with the later work of Jacob’s son, Abraham, and his grandsons.

This rifle is the only known American-made brass barrel from the 18th Century. It is the earliest dated (1771) brass box rifle (an American invention) known. The hind sight (blade broken off) was a “leaf sight,” having a hinged leaf in front of the fixed blade that could be raised for long range shooting. While these were quite common on Germanic rifles, this example is one of only two from 18th Century America. The three-dimensional shaping of the breech stock with massive cheek piece also makes this example extremely rare. Its flint lock is of Germanic origin and remains in its original state. The cock is a ca. 1785 replacement and was salvaged from an English flint lock. The rifle bore was reamed out to utilize the rifle as a shot gun; however, the leaf sight is strong evidence of it having been originally rifled. Many early rifles had their bores altered later in their use, probably due to the lack of big game hunting in the east during the 19th Century.

Rifle Gun, ca. 1840, signed “Jas. Honaker for LP”. Lock signed “J. Stonesifer”, thumb piece signed “J.H. Bentz”. Pulaski or Giles County, Virginia, ca. 1845. Overall length 60½”, barrel length 43 7/16”, rifled with seven furrows, .36 caliber. ID#15.

James Honaker (1810-1898), the maker (in part) of this rifle, was the son of Abraham (1774-1866) and worked in his father’s shop in Pulaski County. In the 1840s James moved to Giles County, Virginia, and later to Raleigh and Mercer counties (now West Virginia.) J. Stonesifer was probably a member of the Stonesifer gunsmiths of Maryland. Stonesifer appears to have been the engraver of all the metal parts, while Honaker did the stocking, carving, and the exceptional trigger guard. Honaker probably restocked the Stonesifer rifle, re-using the inlays, patch box, etc. This is an outstanding work of art by Honaker and Stonesifer and is in untouched original condition. The shot bag, bullet mould, and turkey calls survive with the rifle.

Shot Bag, Bullet Mold, Powder Measure and two Turkey Calls (made from turkey wing bones). ID#15.

These accessories descended with the James Honaker and John Stonesifer rifle in a West Virginia family.

Rifle Gun, ca. 1825, attributed to Abraham Honaker, Pulaski County, Virginia. Overall length 61 7/8”, barrel length 45¼”, rifled with seven furrows, .41 caliber. ID#20.

This rifle has iron mountings finished with fine filed moldings and facets. Its curly maple has a deep red-black color and is in excellent condition. The Honaker family produced the finest iron mounted rifles made in the South.

Rifle Gun, ca. 1840, probably Abraham Honaker shop, Pulaski County, Virginia. Overall length 59”, barrel length 42¾”, rifled with seven furrows, .41 caliber. ID#21.

Rifle Gun, ca. 1830, signed “Jas Honaker” (James Honaker, 1810-1898), Pulaski County, Virginia. Overall length 57 7/8”, barrel length 42”, .37 caliber. ID#39.

In contrast to the Jacob Shaffer rifle shown in this exhibition, this example is quite lightweight and represents the “squirrel rifle.” The patch box finial was a popular design used by James’s father, Abraham; one example has the bird holding a small bird and another is holding a fish in its talons. A similar bird motif was used by George Peterman of Botetourt County and is shown in this exhibition.

At this point I would like to offer some comments and observations on the text of the exhibit labels. Most important, of course, is the first one which attributes the 1771 rifle gun to Hans Jacob Honaker. One thing, there is a confusion between his residence—in one place it is given as Frederick County, Va., and in another as Shenandoah County. Hans Jacob came to Virginia about 1765 and settled on Passage Creek at what is now Waterlick. It was then part of Frederick County, but in 1772 it became part of Dunmore County, the name of which was changed to Shenandoah during the Revolution.

Back to the gun—I am, by no means, an expert on early guns, but I could not help noting that this gun, made over fifty years before Abraham’s, was rather crude in comparison to his or any of James’. The stock was shorter, thicker, and clumsier, and much more reminiscent of European-made rifles of the period.

Of course, since Hans Jacob was born in Switzerland and came to America when he was thirty-one, this would not be unusual. The label notes, “The attribution of this example to Hans Jacob Honaker is based on many unusual details it shares with the later work of Jacob’s son, Abraham, and his grandsons.” The label goes on with a memorable statement about this gun, “This rifle is the earliest dated (1771) brass box rifle (an American invention) known.” If our Hans Jacob was indeed a gunsmith and did make this rifle gun, we have something else about him to be very proud of! More on this below.

The labels for the two James A. rifle guns have a glaring, and possibly significant error, which I pointed out to the curator, without avail—both labels say James A. was born in 1810—despite the fact that the exact date of his birth—July 6, 1818—is known, documented, and published in our genealogy! The label dates his second rifle gun at about 1830—when James would have been twelve. Now, there is no question that he was a superb gunsmith, but there is no evidence that he was a child prodigy! Something is wrong with this date—but there is no question that it is his work, for he signed it.

The label on the first rifle gun dates it at about 1845, and correctly states it could have been made either in Pulaski or Giles County. However, it also implies that he was not the original maker of this rifle gun, but that he made alterations to a Maryland-made Stonesifer gun since the lock bears that name, and the thumb piece the name Bentz. Certainly gunsmiths repaired and altered older guns by other makers, but, as I have been told, they were not averse to using “boughten” parts on their pieces, especially if requested to do so by the customer.

The exhibit label of the rifle gun attributed to Abraham gives an incorrect date of death—as I also pointed out that day, without success. He died on Wolf Creek in Bland County, Va., in 1869, not in 1866, as the label states. On the day of my visit in Abingdon, I brought along the colored print of his rifle gun which is at Colonial Williamsburg, and carefully compared it with the one in the exhibit, apparently made about the same time—about 1825. Again, I do not pretend to be a gun expert, but I was struck by the dramatic resemblance between the two—not only in their overall appearance, but in so many small details. For what it is worth, I have no doubt that he made this one also. This is extremely important to our family history, and to me personally, as I descend from Abraham. Until this exhibit, the rifle gun in Williamsburg was the only one by him that had apparently ever been found, and so, was known.

And now for the most curious of the Honaker rifle guns in the exhibit. The catalog stated that it is from the “Honaker Family” and dates it about 1840. The exhibit label gives the same date, but states that it is “probably Abraham Honaker shop.” Abraham had nine sons and, Jacob (1810-1865), James A. (1818-1897), William C. (1825-1900) are well-documented as having been gunsmiths. I have been told that Peter C. (1812-1874) and Andrew J. (1824-1925) – in whose home Abraham died – also knew the gunsmith’s craft. Jacob and John both moved to Ohio, the first about 1839-1840, the other about 1845. In addition, Henry (born 1815) and John (1816-1879) are known to have been blacksmiths, so they would have likely had some acquaintance with gunsmithing, certainly with most of the tools. So, there can be little doubt that Abraham had abundant “personnel” for his own shop, even if he did not train apprentices outside his own family.

The question remains, though, who made this particular rifle gun. Again I was struck by its resemblance to the Williamsburg rifle gun. In 1840, Abraham was about 66. There was no such thing as retirement at 65 back then, and he did live until he was 95, and still had the mental capacity to write his will! I am no gun expert, but I do not have much difficulty believing he made this rifle gun also, be it with or without the aid of some of his sons!

There are two questions, both very important to our family history, that concern us. First was whether our Hans Jacob Honaker actually made the rifle gun in the exhibit. I have commented on that already. But the second question is, perhaps, even more important. Was Hans Jacob even a gunsmith?

Since I was not able to talk with Mr. Gusler, I called upon a less well-known, local, consultant, my friend and neighbor, Gale Blevins, who deals in guns, and was a considerable help to me when I wrote the article on James A. Honaker’s life and work here in Giles County. Because the old time estate inventories can provide major insights into the lives of our ancestors, Gale and I sat down with Hans Jacob’s to see if we could find any possessions which might indicate whether he was, indeed, a gunsmith, or not.

At the time of Hans Jacob’s death, Pulaski County, the location of Draper, did not exist. That part of old Montgomery County where he lived, which (with additional territory from Montgomery County) became Pulaski County in 1839, had recently—in 1790—become part of the new county of Wythe. Therefore, Hans Jacob’s estate papers are on record in Wythe Courthouse, and I possess photocopies of them. At about age 77, on Aug. 12, 1795 (coincidentally, close to the annual date of our reunions!) he executed his last will and testament, which he signed with an “H” as his mark, though we know he could write. Probably he was too ill or too feeble to write his full name.

The original will is in a file drawer marked “Wills Etc. 1796-1814-1820” in Bundle 2. It was presented for probate before the county justices on May 10, 1796, indicating that he was now dead. In due course, the court clerk transcribed it into Will Book 1 on pages 39 and 40. In short order, on May 21 and 23, an inventory of his estate was taken and duly received during the June, 1796 term of the county court. The court clerk dutifully recorded it in Will Book 1, on pages 42-45. Its value was £434.15.5, which is 434 pounds, 15 shillings, and 5 pence, a considerable sum for that time and place.

Before we began our study of this inventory, Gale explained to me that a gunsmith in that period would have required all the tools and equipment used by a blacksmith. In addition, he would have needed a reamer, steel for the gun barrels, steel for the springs, brass, small screws, and a number of small metal hand tools for the finer work.

Hans Jacob owned “1 old shotgun” valued at 12 shillings, and a good many tools—none expressly designated as gunsmithing tools. However, he had tools such as would have been needed by a gunsmith, Gale pointed out. These included 1 hammer, 4 augers, 2 pair of pinchers (pincers), a sawset, and a vise. Though this is probably inconclusive, I will make one final point. Abraham, in 1795, was yet unmarried and probably still at home. He was then about 21, about the same age as James A. when we have evidence of his working as a gunsmith, and the same age his nephew and apprentice, my great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Journell, was when listed as a gunsmith in James’ household in the 1850 Census of Giles County, Va.

In my humble opinion, it is more likely than not that Hans Jacob was indeed a gunsmith and that when he was too old or feeble to do this intricate work any longer, he gave his tools to his son Abraham, who already had learned, or was in the process of learning, the trade, and thus they do not appear in the inventory of his estate. This opinion can probably not be proved with the records we have available over 200 years later, but it cannot be disproved either!

So, where do we stand with our history of the Honaker gunsmiths after this unique exhibit in Abingdon? We now have the first specific evidence yet found that our immigrant ancestor, Hans Jacob Honaker, was likely a gunsmith, something we have wondered about for many years, as well as actual pictures of his one known rifle gun. Secondly, in addition to the one previously known rifle gun by our Abraham Honaker—the one at Williamsburg—we now know of another, and possibly a third, both previously unknown to us, as well as important information about them.

Finally, we have data on two more extant rifle guns, made by our most prolific gunsmith, James A. Honaker, to add to the list of his surviving creations. I inquired at the museum when I was there about the present owners and locations of these five rifle guns, but I was not surprised—our world being what it is anymore—that they were unwilling and unable to reveal that critical information. It is enough to know that they all still exist, that they are treasured, and that they are safe.

James married Minerva Ann Kirk, daughter of Andrew Lloyd Kirk and Obedience French. The marriage was listed by Vogt, Pulaski County Virginia Marriages 1839-1857. Obedience was a daughter of Mitchell and Phoebe Belcher Clay, pioneer settlers of Mercer Co., (West) Va., whose family were victims of a Shawnee Indian attack in 1783, the so-called Clay Massacre. Beckley [W. Va.] Post-Herald columnist Shirley Donnelly wrote about the event 5 Sep 1979. The column was reprinted in his book, A Keepsake I, II, III. A sculpture representing Mitchell and Phoebe, titled Torment in Stone, was placed on the grounds of the Mercer County Courthouse, Princeton. Children:

8. ix. Laura Josephine. Born 15 Jul 1857 in Mercer Co., (West) Va.

x. Nancy Ellen. Born 26 Jan 1859. She married Allen Workman. [Her cousin by the same name, daughter of William Crockett[2] Honaker, married James Clinton Burgess.]

8. xii. Louemma Jackson (called Sis). Born 6 Oct 1861 in Mercer Co., (West) Va.

9. Andrew Jackson[2] Honaker (Abraham[l]). Children:

iii. Rebecca Jane. Born 3 Feb 1852. Two Rebecca Janes were reported to have married Samuel B. Owens 1 Nov 1863 in Russell Co., Va., this one and Rebecca Jane[3] (Nicholas[1], Samuel P.[2]). We do not know which is correct. A Rebecca Jane was listed by Harman, Harman-Harmon Genealogy and Biography, as having married Arista Gratton Harmon, son of the Rev. Adam Quinn Harmon and Susanna Eaton, 17 Jul 1873 in Bland Co., Va. Arista died in Apr 1876 and there were no children. The identity of the Rebecca who married Arista is presently unknown. There were a half-dozen known Rebecca Janes who were of marriageable age at the time. Bland County was formed from Giles, Wythe and Tazewell Counties. Rebecca Jane[3], daughter of Andrew Jackson, lived in Tazewell County and seems to be the most likely to have married Arista.

10. William Crockett[2] Honaker (called Billy) (Abraham[l]). Born 22 Sep 1825 in Montgomery Co., Va. Died 30 Jul 1900 in Raleigh Co., W.Va. He is listed in gunsmith references as a gunmaker. An unidentified West Virginia gunsmiths book reported that Billy’s gunsmith shop was in Saxon, Brackenridge area, Raleigh County, and that he taught his son James Benjamin the trade.

He married Sarah Ann French, daughter of Hugh Caperton French and Livicia (and Levicie) Love Lambert. Their marriage date has been reported as 20 Apr, 7 May, and 18 Sep 1846 in Giles Co., Va. Born 1822 (also 1823 and 1824) in Giles County. Died 18 Sep 1886 in Raleigh Co., W.Va.

Smith-Riffe records of the French family in Charleston, W.Va., reported by News Notes, Fayette & Raleigh Cos. [W.Va.] Genealogical Society, Spring 2001, show the marriage of William and Sarah 20 Apr 1846 in Tazewell, Va. (the date 7 May 1846 also appears with no explanation; possibly they first eloped and were married a second time in the presence of family. A Honaker researcher needs to visit and interpret this record.) They were married by E. Duncan. Smith-Riffe French family papers, reported by News Notes, Fayette & Raleigh Cos. [W.Va.] Genealogical Society, Summer 2001, contain a 17 Jan 1929 letter by Thomas J. Honaker, Sarah’s grandson, in which he said Sarah’s parents were Hugh French and Bibby Lambert.

Billy’s family was enumerated in the 1880 Raleigh County census living in Marsh Fork District. There were two dwellings, 93 and 94, families 96 and 97. The first dwelling contained William C., 53, mill wright, b. in Va., father b. in England, mother b. in Va.; Sarah A., 55, keeping house; Cintha V., 17, attending school; Lavicy A., 13, attending school; William S., 10, attending school. The second dwelling contained Billy’s son John, 32, farming; Sarah A., 32, keeping house; Bezzle, 10, works on farm, attending school; Jasper, 8, attending school; Jehu, 5, attending school; George T., 3; Mary A., 2.

ix. Louisa Levicey A. (also Lavicy, Levicy and Lovicey). Born 27 Sep 1866 in Mercer Co., W.Va. Died after 1930 in Morris, Ramsey Co., N.D. She married John Whitten Burgess, son of Lavert S. Burgess and Sarah M. Unknown (also reported as John Anderson Burgess and Susan Ziegler, which would make him a half brother of Louisa’s sister Nancy’s husband James), 9 Jan 1883 in Raleigh Co., W.Va. County marriage records indicate she was 16 and John was 22 years, 1 month, 5 days, born in Raleigh County.Born 8 Dec 1860 in Raleigh County. Died after 1930 in Morris, N.D. They were enumerated in 1900 living in Rock, W.Va., but moved to Morris before the 1910 census and lived there for the rest of their lives.

She was reported born in Montgomery Co., Va., and in Draper Valley, Pulaski County.

Third Generation

2.i. Elinder Jane[3] Honaker (Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]. Born 18 Dec 1827 in Virginia. Died in 1897. Buried in Eureka Valley Cemetery, Riley Co., Kan.

In the 1850 census she was recorded as Elenor, living in her father’s household in Pulaski Co., Va. In the 1860 census, she was recorded as Ellena, living with her husband Job Wood in Columbus, Bartholomew Co., Ind. In the 1870 census, she was recorded as Elinder, living with her husband in Clark Twp., Cole Co., Mo., on the same land that her brother lived on in 1880. In 1875, she was recorded as Ellen in Ogden Twp., Riley Co., Kan. In 1880, she was recorded as Ellander, living with her second husband, William Wood. In 1885, she was recorded as Ellander J., living with her brother, Peter A. Honaker, in Manhattan, Riley Co., Kan. Descendant David L. Lies reported in 1999 that the family Bible, in her own handwriting, gives the name as Elinder Jane.

She was reported by one researcher to have also lived in Greenup Co., Ky., after her first marriage.

She married first, Jobe Wood 7 Sep 1854 in Greenup Co., Ky. Born 26 Jan 1816 in England. Died ca. 1876 in Ogden Twp., Riley Co., Kan. He was a laborer. Children:

Buried in Protestant Cemetery, Ogden. He was a policeman, freighter and farmer. He married, first, Sarah Jones in England; and Elizabeth Busby, 21 Aug 1865.

2.iv. Mary Emily[3] Honaker (also Emly) (called Emly) (Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]. Born 1 Oct 1831 in Virginia. Died 18 Jun 1903, probably in St. Louis, Mo. Information about Emly is from research by her descendant Mary Alice Culbreath King.

She married James Cary 10 Jan 1850 in Shepherd’s Church, Newbern, Pulaski Co., Va. Born 6 Jun 1826 in North Carolina. Died 14 Sep 1878 in Missouri.

Birth records for Pulaski Co., Va., show that James Cary, farmer, and his wife Mary Emily [maiden surname not given], had a daughter, Mary Amelia Cary, in Mar 1853. The daughter was listed as Emelia in the 1860 census.

A family Bible is the source for marriage, birth and death information on Emly’s family. An inside page identified it as presented to Mrs. Emly Cary by Rose Cary – Katie Martin, 18 Jan 1893. There is a marriage certification that James Cary of North Carolina and Emly Honaker of New Burn, Va., “Were joined together by me in the Bonds of Holy Matrimony at Shepherd’s Church, Pulaski Co., Va., on the 10th day of January in the year of our Lord 1850.” Witnesses were Jane Honaker and Robert Rogers. The certification is signed George Painter, Minister. Births and deaths entered are James Cary, b. June 6, 1826—North Carolina, d. Sept. 14, 1878—Missouri; Mary Emily Honaker, b. Oct. 1, 1831—Virginia, d. June 18, 1903—Missouri, married Jan. 10, 1850 at Shepard’s Church, Pulaski Co., Va. Children: Hamilton S. Cary, b. Oct. 2, 1850—Virginia; Jane Cary, b.

Sept. 27, 1856—Kentucky, d. Aug. 2, 1861—Missouri, 5 yrs; James Bullard Cary, b. Aug. 10, 1858—Kentucky, d. Jan. 1945; Samuel Cary, b. Oct. 12, 1860—Missouri, d. Oct. 28, 1860—Missouri, 16 days; Virginia A. & America E. “Mollie” Cary (twins), b. Sept. 7, 1862—Missouri; Elizabeth “Bess” Cary Murphy, b. Mar. 10, 1864—Missouri, d. July 18, 1937; Melissa Isabelle “Belle” Cary Childers, b. Aug. 28, 1867—Missouri, d. June 8, 1920; John A. Cary, b. Sept. 17, 1870—Missouri, and Rose Eline Cary Johnson Carlson, b. July 11, 1872—Missouri, d. Mar. 1945.

The 1850 census enumerator found James and Emly on 21 Jul at household #191, 48th District, Pulaski Co., Va., (line 18, p. 235.) James was 21, identified as a laborer born in North Carolina, and Emly was 19, born in Virginia. Their first child had not yet been born. In household #192 was Sarah Cary, 62, presumably James’ mother, born in North Carolina; living with Sarah was Nancy Wright, 28, presumably James’ older sister, born in North Carolina, and three Wright children, Thomas, age 10, James, age 4, and Agnus, age 1. At household #194 was a Honaker man and wife, he 20, a laborer, and she 18. Their given names are difficult to read and might be Peter and Martha J.; proximity suggests the man may be Emly’s slightly older brother. There was a Peter Abraham[3] (Samuel C.[2], Abraham[1]) who married a Martha at that time in Pulaski County. That Peter had an older sister of Emly’s age. The sister has been reported as Elvira, Elinder, Elenor, Ellen and Ellena, none resembling the name Emly, and was living in her father’s household during the 1850 Pulaski County census. Curiously, she moved to Missouri as did Emly. The 1850 census showed that James and Emly lived near Henry and Sallie Colfee Honaker and Abraham Honaker.

The 1860 census found James and Emly on 8 Jun at household #114 in Waynesville, Pulaski Co., Mo. (line 91, p. 18.) James was identified as a farm laborer with real estate valued at $400 and personal estate of $150. The children recorded were Hamilton, age 10; Emelia, 8; Jane, 7; Sarah, 6; Mary, 4, and James B., 2. The first three were marked born in Virginia; the last three in Kentucky. (Three of the children died while they lived in Waynesville—Samuel, Jane and Mary.)

No 1870 census information has been found for the family.

The 1880 census found Emly on 28 Jun at household #443 in Benton Twp., Osage Co., Mo. (line 11, p. 48.) She was then a widow, 49 years old, a homemaker. In the household were her children James B., age 21, occupation farming; Virginia, 17, written in by the enumerator but then crossed out, an indication that she was living elsewhere; Elizabeth, 15; Bell, 12; John, 10; and Rosie, 8.

The 1900 census in St. Louis, Mo., found “Emily” 6 Jun in the 24th Ward on Columbia Avenue. She was 68, widowed, head of household, mother of 13, 10 children living. In the household were her daughter Belle (surname appears to be Heigt, not fully legible), age 28, married 13 years, mother of 1; and Belle’s daughter Mary Emily, age 6.

xiii. Rose Eline. Born 11 Jul 1872 in Missouri. Died in Mar 1945 in St. Louis. She married, first, Unknown Johnson. She married, second, Unknown Carlson.

2.v. Oscar F.[3] Honaker (also Osker F. and S.) (Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]. Born in Jun 1832 (1900 census date; other censuses suggest he was born in 1834) in Wythe Co., Va. His family appeared in the 1860 Mechanicsburg, Giles Co., Va., census, p. 896-7, household #871, as Oscar Honaker, 27, $95 in personal property, farm laborer; Mary, 23; John, 7; Samuel, 5; Margaret, 4; William, 3; Sarah, 1.

Sherwood’s 54th Virginia Infantry says he enlisted in the C.S.A. 9 Sep 1861 at Newbern, Pulaski Co., Va., was present on duty rosters of 1 Jan 1862 and 31 Dec 1863; that he was detailed to drive supply wagons 22 May 1964; that he was age 16 in the 1850 Pulaski County census. Also in Company F were his uncles Abraham[2] Honaker and William James Journell (husband of Margaret J.[2] Honaker, and cousins Henry[3] and James Mitchell[3] Journell, William’s sons. Oscar’s commanding officer commended him after the Battle of Chickamauga, Ga., 1863, because “Private Oscar F. Honaker, Company F, 54th Virginia regiment, captured the regimental flag of the 22nd Michigan regiment.”

The family appeared in the 1870 Newbern, Dublin Twp., Pulaski County census, household #437, as Osker F. Honaker, 37, farm laborer, could not read or write, eligible to vote; Mary, 34, keeping house; Samuel W., 16, farm laborer, could not write; Margaret J., 14; William H., 12, farm laborer; Sarah F., 11, could not write; Seticia V., 7; Emma, 5; Mary E., 3; Sarah, eight months.

In the 1880 census, the family was in Pearisburg District, Giles County, dwelling #339, listed as Oscar Honaker, 46, carpenter; Mary, 43, keeping house; daughters Florence, 18; Tissue, 16; Emma, 13; Mary, 12; Laura, 10; Nannie, 9; Minnie, 8; Edward, 7, son; Dollie, 5, daughter. At dwelling #338 in this census were William and Lizzie Honaker, Oscar’s son and daughter-in-law. Dwelling #331 was a list of prison inmates. The neighborhood was mixed black-white-mulatto.

We do not have an 1890 census for Oscar’s family. The 1900 Pearisburg District Giles County census shows Osker S. Honaker as head of household #24. He was 67, farmer, widowed, born Jun 1832 in Virginia, not able to read or write, owner of home and farm. Resident were Helen [or Heven] C. Honaker, 19, daughter, born Apr 1881, could read and write; May Honaker, 10, daughter, born May 1890, at school. Also in the household were Minnie Dawdy, 29, daughter, born Aug 1870, washerwoman, widowed, mother of four living children, could read and write; Harry Dawdy, 8, grandson, born Jan 1892, at school; Georgia Dawdy, 6, granddaughter, born May 1894, at school; Mable Dawdy, 1, granddaughter, born Jun 1898; Ella Paul, 27, daughter, born May 1873, seamstress, widowed, mother of four living children, could read and right; Helen M. Paul, 8, granddaughter, born Dec 1891, at school; Laura, 6, granddaughter, born Dec 1893, at school; Norman, 5, born Jan 1895; and Earl K., 3, grandson, born Feb 1897.

He married Mary A. Reese, daughter of John Reese and Sarah Unknown, 15 Dec 1852 in Pulaski Co., Va. The marriage was listed by Vogt, Pulaski County Virginia Marriages 1839-1857. Born ca. 1836 in Pulaski County. Died of flux 19 Dec 1893 in Bluff City, Bland County. Virginia death records show her as Mary E. and give her age at death as 57. Various censuses show the following children in the household. The earlier censuses did not identify family relationships. In them we have assumed that the children were those of Oscar and Mary. Later censuses did identify family relationships; we have listed all the names even though there is the possibility that the census enumerator incorrectly listed grandchildren as children. There is a listing problem because some names show up on later censuses but not on earlier ones where the age would warrant. Children:

i. John Waller[4]. Born in May 1853 in Pulaski County. He was not with the family starting

with the 1870 census.

2.v. ii. Samuel Winton (called Winton). Born in Sep 1854.

2.v. iii. Margaret J. Born 8 Aug 1855 in Pulaski County.

2.v. iv. William H. Born ca. 1857.

v. Sarah F. Born ca. 1859. Could have been the Florence in the 1880 census.

vi. Florence M. Born 14 Apr 1861 in Pulaski County. Did not appear on the 1870 census but

was 18 on the 1880 census.

vii. Seticia V. Born ca. 1863. Probably the Tissue in the 1880 census. The census enumerator

may have misunderstood the name.

viii. Emma (also Emily). Born 16 Mar 1866 in Pulaski County.

ix. Mary E. Born ca. 1867.

x. Sarah. Born in Nov 1869. Listed in the 1870 census but not in the 1880 census. May have

been Laura listed in the 1880 census. The census enumerator may have misunderstood the name.

xi. Laura. Born ca. 1870.

2.v. xii. Minnie. Born in Aug 1870

xiii. Nannie. Born ca. 1871. Found only on the 1880 census, she may have been Minnie. The

census enumerator may have misunderstood.

2.v. xiv. Ella C. Born in May 1873.

xv. Edward. Born ca. 1873.

xvi. Dolly. Born 8 Nov 1874 in Giles County.

xvii. Oscar F. Born 6 May 1876 in Giles County.

xviii. Helen [or Heven] C. Born in Apr 1881.

xix. May. Born in May 1890.

2.vi. John W.[3] Honaker (Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]. Born ca. 1836 in Virginia. We do not have a conclusive trail on John W., who was not in his parents’ household on the 1857 Greenup Co., Ky. tax list. His father sold his Greenup County mill and property shortly afterwards and moved with some of the younger family to Missouri, but John was not among them at the 1860 census.

Instead, we find John Wallace Honaker, of appropriate name and age, in the 1860 Catlettsburg, Boyd Co., Ky. census [in 1860, Greenup, Carter and Lawrence counties gave up land to create Boyd County], household #58, listed as John Honaker, 25, $200 in personal property, farmer, born in Virginia; Octavia, 20, born in Kentucky; James M., 3, born in Kentucky; Carter B., 2, born in Kentucky. The fit is very close to our missing John W., and we have continued his line here in the belief that he is Samuel’s son of the same name.

The 1870 District 2 Bolts Fork [ten miles southwest of Catlettsburg], Boyd County census listed household #205 as Jno. W. Honaker, 29, carpenter, $200 in personal property, born in Virginia, all the other residents born in Kentucky; Octavia, 29, keeping house; James M., 15, had attended school that year, could not write; Chester B., 11, could not write; Cynthia A., 9; Jno. W., 8; Margaret A., 6, Hester A., 3.

He married Octavia Arthur, daughter of James Eli Arthur (born in Kentucky) and Margaret Octavia Shockey (born in Virginia), in Greenup Co., Ky. The marriage license may misspell her name as Andonia. Born 1 Jan 1842 in Kentucky. Died 24 Dec 1918 in Denning, Ark. Buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Denning; gravestone inscription, “A tender mother and a faithful friend”. Children:

2.vi. i. James M.[4] Born ca. 1857.

ii. Chester B. (also Chesterfield, recorded as Carter B. in the 1860 census.) Born ca. 1858 in Kentucky. Died 4 May 1885 in Catlettsburg, Boyd Co., Ky. He married Anne Ruff 23 Dec 1882 in Catlettsburg. Born ca. 1867 in Lawrence Co., Ohio. They lived in Catlettsburg.

Honaker Family Newsletter, May-Jun 2000:

“At Catlettsburg last Saturday night, three men, Chess Honaker, Dave Stewart, Pete Canterberry and three others went to a house of ill fame. They were drunk and refused admittance. They tried to force their way in. Near by lived a colored man, Henry Freese, a sort of guard and defender of the baudy house in time of trouble. He was summoned by the frail inmates and rushed to the scene with a couple revolvers, which he fired into the crowd of men who were trying to get in. He fired five times and hit the three persons named. Honaker was shot in the bowels and died Sunday. The other two were shot in thigh and leg. Freese is in jail.”

The Hanging of Henry Freese, by Evelyn Scyphers Jackson

The events of history too often become so hazy with the passage of time that, like concentric circles emanating from the splash of a stone breaking the smooth surface of a lake, they fade into oblivion, or the facts become so distorted as to resemble nothing like the original occurrence. So it is with the hanging of Henry Freese that took place in Catlettsburg, Ky., on a Friday, 14 Aug 1885.

From the meagre available records we know that Freese, a black man, was charged with the wilful murder of one Chester Honaker on 4 May 1885 at the door of the White Bear, an old whitewashed building used as a house of prostitution on upper Louisa Street, above the old Tom Brown home. Since Honaker died on a Monday morning, and the grand jury was in session at that time, Freese was indicted by that body on the same day and his trial set to begin the following week. The criminal records for this period are missing from the court house in Catlettsburg and we know only from the order book that he was found guilty on 13 May, after 28 minutes of deliberation, and sentenced to death.

In a newspaper interview some 45 years afterward, J.C. Richardson, the man who had been sheriff at the time of the incident, stated that it had occurred over jealousy of a white woman, but a newspaper account at the time of the hanging indicates other, vague reasons. With the number of local citizens involved in the scandal, perhaps this was used as justification for hastening Freese to the noose.

The truth may never be learned but we can draw a fairly accurate picture from the reported facts. It seems that a group of “gentlemen” were standing on the platform outside the White Bear on a Saturday night, threatening to “break down the door if they were not admitted.” About this time one of the girls, Annie Johnson, ran to a house occupied by a Dotson woman and Henry Freese, and asked Freese to go and “drive the men away.” Dotson was Henry’s mistress.

Henry Freese armed himself with three loaded revolvers, left the Dotson house by a back exit and reached the corner at the front of the White Bear, to the foot of some steps leading to a small platform about five feet off the ground.

There he found a group of men standing on the platform, still demanding admission to the house. Without having been seen by them, or they even suspecting he was near, he began firing a self-cocking revolver and fired five shots into the crowd as fast as he could pull the trigger.

Chester Honaker was shot in the abdomen, the ball ranging upward and lodging in the spinal column just below the left kidney. He died at 8 o’clock on Monday morning, 4 May. Perry Canterberry (sic) was shot in the left leg just above the knee, and “old man David Stewart” was shot in the calf of the right leg, the bullet passing out in front of the knee.

And so, the deed was done that would cost Freese his life. He fled back to the Dotson house and then went on down into town, perhaps hoping to lose himself among the weekend inebriates. The next morning (Sunday) the women who were occupying the White Bear, and the men who were with them Saturday night were arrested. Detective Millard F. Rule arrested Henry Freese, who first denied that he had any knowledge of the matter until he was told that Annie Johnson had informed on him. He then confessed, it is claimed.

Police Judge McCall set his bail at $5,000, in default—naturally—of which he was committed to jail and immediately indicted by the grand jury. It is reported that he received a “fair and impartial trial” and his case was argued by “an able attorney,” whose name is not revealed.

Those who served on the jury that returned the guilty verdict against Freese were William Davis, Volney O. Davis, Robert Davis, John Simpson, J.P. McGlothlin, Larkin Wells, Charles Williams, Henry White, Addison Bartram, Robert Ford, Charles W. Berger and James Hunt.

Some of those called as witnesses for the Commonwealth were J.M. Chaffin, Richard Webb, Annie Johnson, Mollie Chapman, George Cole, Millard Rule, Early Stockwell, William Clark, Lizzie Carter, Ballard Faulkner, Alice Adkins, T.J. Ewing, Wade Bryant, George Armstrong and Wayne Damron. Five of the above were also called to testify in behalf of defendant Freese. J.M. Ferguson was a member of the grand jury; J.C. Richardson was sheriff and Hiram Runyon and L.L. Kibbe were deputies.

As was usual with hangings in those days, the newspaper played it up big and the public adored it. It gave them some place to go for the thrill of viewing death first hand. Afterwards, the paper had this to say about the hanging:

“On Friday morning before the hour for the execution of Freese, the people began to come in from every nook and corner in the county, on horseback, in wagons and on foot. At 7 o’clock the train on the C&O Railroad brought nearly 200 people from West Virginia. At 8 o’clock the Chattarol Railway and the steamer Lightwood brought down from the Sandy Valley seven or eight hundred people, and thus they came in up to the hour of execution.

“On Thursday night Freese retired about 12 o’clock and slept soundly until 8 o’clock Friday morning, when he arose, ate a hearty breakfast and apparently looked happy. At 9 o’clock members of the press were admitted to the jail to talk with Freese.

“When asked by a reporter if he was prepared to die, he replied, ‘The Lord has pardoned my sins and I am ready to die, willing to die and want to die.’ At 10 o’clock Revs. Jackson and Garred held services with him and at 12 he was taken from the jail to the scaffold, which he mounted with a firm and steady step. On the scaffold the hymn All Must Be to Judgment Brought was sung and Freese was then asked if he had anything to say.

“He arose to his feet and said, ‘I bid you all goodbye and hope to see you on the other shore. That’s all I have to say, goodbye.’ The rope was placed around his neck, the black cap adjusted and the trap was sprung at 12:37. In 18½ minutes Drs. Riffe, Smiley and Gould pronounced him dead. He was then cut down by Sheriff Richardson and placed in a neat, rosewood coffin, nicely finished, with a plate on the lid bearing the words ‘Rest in Peace.’ His remains were given over to his friends and were buried on Sunday afternoon”

Shortly after the execution a poem appeared on the scene, “supposed to have been composed by Henry Freese,” but having all the earmarks of a J.W. Day composition, which, as anyone who has read one of them knows, automatically appeared after every local tragedy, and was concocted as a balm to lull the remaining citizenry back into a sense of guiltless serenity.

10.vi. Mary Luther[3] Honaker (William Crockett[2], Abraham[l]). Born 1 May 1859 (also reported as 13 May 1855) in Mercer Co., (West) Va. Died 18 Nov 1930 in Pine Knob, Raleigh Co., W.Va. She and her family were enumerated in the Raleigh Co., W.Va. census, Marsh Fork District, 4 Jun 1900 as dwelling and family #45: Webb, A. Whitten, 40, married 23 years, b. Sep 1859, farmer; Mary L., 41, m. 23 years, b. May 1859; children all born in West Virginia; Lenini [illegible] C., daughter, 17, b. Jun 1882; Loyd B., son, 14, b. Apr 1886; E. Dow, daughter, 10, b. Sep 1889; Ina A., daughter, 8, b. Jul 1891; A. Brook, daughter, 5, born Nov 1894; Marjy B., daughter, 3, b. May 1897; Minnie, daughter, 5 mo., b. Feb 1900. The family was enumerated in the Raleigh Co., Pine Grove Precinct census 21 Apr 1910 as household and family #63: Webb, A. Whitten, 50, married 34 years, retail store merchant; Mary L., 50, married 34 years, mother of 9 children, all living; Lloyd, son, 25, farm laborer; Ina, 19; Brooke, 16; Marjy, 13; Minnie, 10.

She married Andrew Witten (also Whitten) Webb, son of James Franklin Webb and Mary Jane Cook, 29 Jul 1876 in Raleigh Co., W.Va. Born 4 Sep 1859 (also reported as 4 Sep 1854) in Marsh Fork, Raleigh Co., (West) Va. Died 22 Aug 1950 in Raleigh County. The marriage record gives his middle name as Witten; 1900 and 1910 censuses give it as Whitten.

The loss of 1890 census records in a fire in 1921 poses a problem with Mary Luther’s descendant information. The 1910 census shows Mary Luther at age 50 with nine children, all living. However, the first census records available to us after her marriage show the eldest still at home as Lena C., born 19 Jun 1881 (or Jun 1882), and seven in all, with the youngest being Minnie, born Feb. 1900. The 1910 census reveals that Lena is no longer in her parents’ home; with the other six still there. This means that the two unaccounted for children probably were born prior to Lena. Researchers reported the existence of three more, Cora V., Sara J. and Faye Hindrick.

Although not proved by Mary Luther’s census records, a Raleigh County researcher reported in 2009 the existence of a marriage between Sarah Webb and Isaac Hendricks 26 Apr 1895. The marriage was recorded as Hendrix, subsequently recorded as Hendricks. If Sarah is the Sara J. reported by researchers as a daughter of Mary Luther, and if she were born the year after Mary Luther’s marriage, she could be old enough to be the Sarah Webb to have married Isaac Hendricks in 1895. Her listing has been so reported by some researchers and continues below under that premise. Children:

10.vi. i. Sara J.[4]

ii. Cora V.

10.vi. iii. Lena C. Born 19 Jun 1881 (1900 census gives Jun 1882) in Raleigh County.

iv. Lloyd B. Born Apr 1886.

v. E. Dow. Born Sep 1889.

His middle name was not previously known in the family. It may have been in honor of the Schaffer family who were gunsmiths known to Abraham[1] and William Crockett[2], who may have been instrumental in teaching the Honakers the gunsmithing trade. It could also been in honor of a well-known regional evangelist, Robert S. Sheffey (1820-1902). Sheffey married Margaret Jane Honaker, an Abraham descendant. His picture appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Nov-Dec 2001.

He married Clarie (also Clorie and Cloris) E. Stump, daughter of James Berl Stump and Sara A. Carr, 28 Apr 1897. The wedding was performed by Sheff’s brother John Henry. Born 1876 in Floyd, Va. Died 7 Feb 1968 in Beckley.

Also resident in the household was Chessie Hunter, a 16-year-old granddaughter. The Marsh Fork area Honakers were Abraham descendants, so she must have been a close relative of Luemma Jackson[3] above.

History of the Honaker Church

Prior to the Civil War, a log church was built for worshiping tand schooling. The site of the church is now beneath Interstate 77 on Wolf Creek just pas the Conrad Tuggle home. During the Civil War, the building was used as a clinic for wounded soldiers. The Northern armies came out of Princeton, W.Va. across the mountain and passed through Rocky Gap. The citizens of Rocky Gap who were not in service knew that they were coming and they did not want the Yankees to get their supplies that they had in the church. Because of this, the citizens burned the church.

In 1887, the citizens of the community decided to build the one-room frame building which is located on the Raleigh-Grayson Turnpike, better known as the Camp Road, which was the main road through Rocky Gap at that time. The land was donated by J.D. and Annie Honaker. The deed for the land was dated Aug. 30, 1908. The church was used prior to this time, but the deed could not go into effect until the land was completely paid for. The church was named Honaker Chapel.

Four denominations worshiped here. They were the Methodists, the Baptists, the Presbyterians, and the Lutherans. The Methodists, however, owned the land. It was referred to as a “union” church. Each Sunday of the month a pastor from each of the four denominations held the worship service. Anyone from the four denominations was welcome to attend. Sunday School began at the church sometime prior to 1923. The Sunday School was not divided by denomination.

The structure of the church consisted of only one room with a big potbelly stove in the middle of it and oil lamps on the walls. A porch was added on sometime afterwards. Organizations in the church included the Epworth League (youth organization) and the women’s organization. There was also the Laymen’s Club.

The most famous event held at the church appears to be the quarterly Conference meeting in the summer. There was about 150 to 200 people who attended this event. The Conference lasted for two days; Saturday they held the business part and Sunday, the worship service and dinner. It seems that the dinner is what everyone remembers. It was referred to in those days as dinner on the ground. The food was spread out on blankets to the right and left of a walkway. The reason for this being that there just wasn’t enough room in the church to have a dinner this big. Most of the people came only for Sunday. They would arrive early in the morning. Most had to walk, some had buggies or wagons, and others asked somebody to bring them. It was a great day for fellowship. The people of those days did not have many forms of amusement. This is why everyone looked forward to the day so much.

In 1957, the Methodists decided that they wanted to move out and build their own church. The congregation had just grown too bit. In 1958 when the Methodists moved out, the Baptists decided they also wanted their own church. The Baptists approached the Methodists about buying it from them, and the building was then sold to the Baptists for the sum of $600.

The Baptist women continued their organization. There was also a Laymen’s Revival and singings, referred to as 5th Sunday singings. An organized youth function was held at the church. Members who had not been presently attending came to church. The meal was then held inside the church. Additions had been made to the church sometime after the Baptists bought it. Sunday School rooms were added along with a kitchen and rest rooms. A furnace was also added.

The last worship service was held in the church around 1992. The Baptists felt led to close the doors of the church then. The attendance was down and financially they could no longer keep the doors open.

In the fall of 1993, the Bland County School Board started looking closely at the prospect of buying the church from the Baptists. Sometime prior to 1993, in 1989 or 1990, an agreement had been signed stating that if the church property came up for sale that the school board would make every attempt to purchase it. The price that was negotiated was $12,000. This included the building, land, and various items in the church such as the pews and the piano. At the November 22nd meeting, the purchasing was temporarily scotched. At the next meeting, the Bland County School Board voted unanimously to recommend the purchase.

The purchase had now been made. The building is used as an auditorium for the Mountain Academic Conference Competition matches. There are also plans to use the building for assemblies, Parent Teacher Association meetings and other community purposes.

Honaker Church has a long and interesting history. It served its purpose well as a church, but the time came to close its doors. It is now benefiting the students of Rocky Gap High School. In my opinion, the purchase of the church was a great investment. Note: The Honaker church building is now also the home of the Bland County

A “J.D.” Honaker of Rocky Gap, Bland Co., Va., Republican, served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention from Virginia in 1904. We’re not certain about his identity, but proximity and timeline suggests it was James Davidson.

The 1880 Green Twp., Brown County census enumerated the family as Andrew J., 33; wife Amanda, 29; Addie, 8; John, 6; Maggie, 4; William, 2; Lee, 1; all born in Ohio; the family name was recorded as Honaller, perhaps because the enumerator did not make a legible “k.” The 1900 Pike Twp., Brown County census enumerated the family as Andrew, b. Jan 1846; Amanda, b. Feb 1851, mother of 10 children, eight living; married 28 years; four children at home—Ada, b. Jan(?) 1894, Harry, b. Aug 1891, Julia, b. Sep 1888, and James, b. Feb. 1883.

48. Sarah Etta[3] Honaker (James A.[2], Abraham[l]). Died in Mercer Co., W.Va. See photographs [Mary Redmond]. Born 9 Oct 1846 in Giles Co., Va. Died 17 Mar 1917 in West Virginia. Buried in Red Warrior Cemetery, Cabin Creek, Kanawha Co., W.Va. Cemetery records give Sarah’s birth year as 1848.

She married, first, Armstead A. Hurst, son of William R. Hurst and Susanna Nestor, 27 May 1866. Born Nov 1846 in Pulaski, Va. (also reported as 18 Jan 1847 in Carroll Co., Va.) Died of consumption 24 Mar 1879 in Mercer Co., W.Va. He served with Mercer County’s Co. H, 60th Virginia infantry, during the Civil War. He was a farmer. His brother Thomas Jefferson Hurst married, second, Sarah Etta’s sister Matilda Allice Honaker.

The 1880 Mercer Co., W.Va. Census, for Rock, W.Va., enumerated the family 22 Jun 1880 as dwelling 88, household 88—Sarah E. Hurst, [age illegible], renter, widowed, farming & housewife, born in Va., parents born in Va.; James W., son, 13, works on farm, born in W.Va.; Eda M., dau, 11, works on farm, born in W.Va.; Wattson E., son, 10, works on farm, born in W.Va.; Mary A.M., dau, 7, b. in W.Va.; Arley J., son, 4, b. in W.Va.; Elbert S., son, 3, b. in W.Va.

Some information attributed to a Hurst family history has been reported as incorrect by descendants of Sarah Etta’s daughter Eda and son Arley. We take their version as authoritative since they were close to the principals. The incorrect information showed Arley to have married Ida E. White, who was actually his brother James’s wife, and Eda spelled as Edna.

Children:

48. i. James William[4]. Born Jan 1867 in Mercer County.

48. ii. Eda Melton. Born 8 Mar 1869 in Mercer County.

The 1900 Mercer County Census, Cabin Creek District, enumerated the family 15 Jun 1900 as dwelling 367, household 367, with no mention of William. It gives the family as S.E. Abbott, 53, renter, head of household, b. Oct 1846, married 20 years, mother of 12, ten children living, b. in W.Va., can read & write; Forest, son, 17, b.

The 1900 Mercer County census also records Sarah’s son Joe and his family nearby as dwelling 365, household 365.

The 1910 Kanawha County Census, Cabin Creek District, enumerated the family 5 May 1910 as dwelling 425, household 427. By that time Sarah was living with just one son. The census gives the family as Sarah Abbott, head of household; Crockett, son, coal mine laborer. There is other information on this census but it is illegible. Living nearby is Sarah’s son Joe, at dwelling 435, household 437.

49. Olevia Ann[3] Honaker (James A.[2], Abraham[l]). See photographs. Born 29 Nov 1848 in Mercer Co., (West) Va. Died 30 Apr 1926. Buried in McComas-Crotty Cemetery, Pinoak, Mercer County. She was a large, neat woman who did beautiful needlework, loved flowers, and kept a good home with her husband in Pinoak, near Princeton, Mercer County.

She married Rufus Buren McComas (called Rufe), son of Archibald McComas and Savilla/Servilla/Survilla Frances Bailey, 11 Jul 1869 in Dunn, Raleigh Co., W.Va. Born 11 Feb 1850 in Mercer County. Died 11 Jul 1942 (also reported as 1949) in Mercer County. Buried in McComas-Crotty Cemetery, Pinoak. He was one of the first graduates of Concord College, Athens, W.Va. His father Archibald was a Primitive Baptist preacher who organized the Rich Creek, W.Va. Primitive Baptist Church in Lashmeet, Mercer County, in 1851. Rufe was one of the first two paid schoolteachers in Mercer County. The other teacher was Della Burnside. She taught in a rented stockroom at a Princeton store, and even in a jail cell before a schoolhouse was built for her. Rufe built the first schoolhouse in the county, Rich Creek School, at Pinoak, where he taught. He also built two or three other log schoolhouses. He taught subscription school before that. At age eleven, he spent the winter with his uncle, who taught school, and received what education he had. Afterwards, he had the responsibility of teaching his brothers, sister, and several cousins. He was also a stone mason, made and sold chairs with woven seats, and operated a grist mill located between Pinoak and Spanishbury on Rich Creek. In latter years, he lived with his daughter Dulcie Crotty and granddaughter Erma Fay Crotty, then ten, his youngest granddaughter. About a year before he died, there was an item in Grit feature tabloid newspaper that attributed to him the greatest number of descendants for any living person—264 living (eight children, 51 grandchildren, 164 great grandchildren, 41 great great grandchildren. Only five bore the name McComas; three grandsons were in the U.S. Army.

In 2008 descendant Carolyn (Billings) Shinault reported the following article taken from the worldwide web: The [Rufus Buren McComas] family farm was purchased by Rufus in the late 1800s from William Hearst from nearby Lashmeet, W.Va. The purchase price was $1,600 and a mule and comprised 1,200 acres. The property is located at the beginning of Cline’s Country Road along the left side. Mr. McComas cleared the land and built this original farm house while raising a family. The farm and family prospered and became key members of the Pinoak, Matoka, and Lashmeet communities. Around the turn of the century, Rufus’s neighbor on the right side of Cline’s Country Road passed away and another 400 acres was purchased bringing the

vii. Vera Rosine. Born 25 Jul 1885. Died 1 Sep 1885. She was the first to be buried in

McComas-Crotty Cemetery, Pinoak. The story of the cemetery is that her father Rufe was working in Matoaka, W.Va., when she became sick. After a few days when she did not improve, Olevia sent word to Rufe, who finished the day’s work and came home after dark. On the way, he cut a walking stick. When he crossed the ridge in sight of the house, he heard a strange sound in the woods nearby. He followed it and it seemed to be coming out of the ground. He stuck his walking stick into the ground to mark the location, thinking that he would come back the next day to investigate. Later that night as she died, Vera made the same strange sound. Taking this as an opem, Rufe buried her on the spot wher the first sound originated.

William Baxter married Violet (also Viola) A.F. Sarette (also Sarett and Sarrett), daughter of John Tinsley Sarette and Nancy Combs, 26 Apr 1878 in Arnett. Raleigh County marriage records state the groom was 22 years, 5 months, 7 days and the bride, Violett Sarrett, was 23 years, 4 months; both born in Raleigh County. Born 2 Jul 1853 in Arnett. Died 3 Oct 1934 (a family Bible gives 3 Oct 1936) in Arnett. Buried in Honaker Cemetery, Arnett. She was a sister of Van S. Sarette, who married William’s sister Laura Josephine.

ix. Pheoba F. (also Ferba, Ferbio, Furbee and Phorba) (recorded in the 1900 census as Furbee F., and in Raleigh County marriage records, in her first marriage, as Ferba). Born Jun 1894 in Arnett. She married, first, Lewis P. Lilly 10 Mar 1909 in Raleigh County. The service was performed at her family home by John A. Cook. Lewis was born 1888 in Raleigh County. The 1920 census enumerator found her in her parents’ household and identified her as divorced. She married, second, Ash Cook.

159. xi. Dewey Dwight. Born 1898.

53. xii. Henry. Born ca. 1899.

xiii. Etta. Born in Arnett. She died young.

xiv. Romanza (called Manzie). Born 1889 in Arnett. She lived in Dorothy, W.Va. She married William B. Cook 28 Apr 1906 in Raleigh County. Born 1887 in Raleigh County. Manzie had a daughter who married and was a foster parent to Billy Edd Wheeler until he was 16. Billy became a well known song writer, creating Country Roads and others sung by nationally-known artists.

54. Matilda Allice[3] Honaker (called Allie) (James A.[2], Abraham[l]).

A published history of Allie’s husband’s ancestry gives her parents as William J. and Manerva Honaker. Raleigh Co., W.Va. marriage records give her parents as William B. and Manerva Honaker and say she was 17 years, 14 days, born in Mercer Co., W.Va.; Thomas was 22 years, 5 months, 14 days, born in Mercer County. They were married 24 Mar 1884.

Family researchers who reported Allie’s information to us say that these records are incorrect. However, it is most odd, and inexplicable, that the marriage records give Matilda’s parents as William B. and Manerva, whom we are unable to identify at present.

Her husband Thomas Jefferson Hurst was a brother of Armstead A. Hurst, who married her sister Sarah Etta. (A Hurst genealogical web page gives his birthplace as Floyd Co., Va., and says he married, first, Martha Z. Huffman, born before 1860, died 3 Dec 1883; they had one child, Arvil Venira Hurst, born 1 Oct 1882, died Jun 1949, married Julia Frances Shrewsbury, daughter of James William Shrewsbury and Julia Ann Basham, 25 Sep 1902, born 1 Aug 1887, died 11 Apr 1968.) Children (of Allie and Thomas):

i. Lundy[4]. Born ca. 1890.

iii. Carlos. Born ca. 1898.

iv. Flora. Born ca. 1886.

v. Tommy. Born ca. 1896.

x. Hubert. Born ca. 1892.

55. John Henry[3] Honaker (William Crockett[2], Abraham[1]). Born 13 Sep 1847 (his son William B. gave 9 Jul 1847 as John Henry’s birth date on the death certificate) in Marsh Fork, Raleigh Co. (West) Va. Died 9 Jan 1923 in Montcalm, Mercer County. Buried in Methodist Church Cemetery (also called Herndon Cemetery and as Cheer Cemetery for families buried there, Montcalm. He was a Methodist Episcopal minister at Montcalm Church on Methodist Hill. The death certificate identified him as a retired merchant.

The 1880 census for Marsh Fork, Raleigh County, did not record John Henry, but enumerated Sarah A., wife, 32, b. in Virginia; Bezzle, 10, farm worker; Jasper, 8; Jehu, 5; George T., 3; and Mary A., 2.

He married Sarah Elizabeth Belcher, daughter of Christian Belcher and Mary M. Holstein (called Polly), 18 May 1869 in Mercer County. Born 18 Nov 1848 (headstone gives 11 Nov 1847) in Duhring, Mercer Co., (West) Va. Died of stomach cancer 12 Apr 1927 in Montcalm. Buried in Methodist Church Cemetery, Montcalm. Children:

married Unknown Meadows. Born 1878 in West Virginia.

164. viii. Sallie P. Born 1885 in Raleigh County.

55. ix. Effie May. Born Aug 1886 in Raleigh County.

x. Lawrence (reported by niece Anita in 2014). Died in the 1970s. He was a pharmacist who

never married.

56. James Buchanan[3] Honaker (William Crockett[2], Abraham[1]). His middle name was also reported as Ballard and Benjamin. We have taken Buchanan as authoritative, from the Rev. Denzil R. Daniel, a family historian whose father was a brother to James’s wife. Born Sep 1852 in Saxon, Raleigh Co., (West) Va. Died 28 Feb 1912 in Glen Daniel, Raleigh County. Buried in Saxon. A gunsmith, he also operated a grist mill and general store. He lived near Brackenridge River in Raleigh County, near Marsh Fork. His work as a gunsmith is discussed in two appendices of this book, The Honaker Gunsmiths and The Honaker Riflemakers: Abraham Descendants.

He married Mary Virginia Daniel, daughter of Jesse Edward Daniel and Sarah L. Moore (also reported as Sarah Crabtree) (called Sally) in 1874. Born 20 May 1854 in Raleigh County. Died 1900 in Raleigh County. Smith-Riffe genealogical records reprinted in News Notes, Fayette & Raleigh Counties Genealogical Society, Fall 1998, say that Mary was born in 1854, and that her mother’s name was Sallie Moore. Children:

i. Sarah[4]. Born ca. 1875.

ii. Thomas Jesse. See photograph and music cover. His middle name was also reported as Jefferson. We have taken Jesse as authoritative, from the Rev. Daniel, the death certificate (informant being his wife) and from the gravestone. Born 6 Jun 1876 in Saxon, W.Va. Died of cancer 25 Oct 1942 in Charleston, W.Va. He and his wife are buried in Roselawn section, Sunset Memorial Park, Beckley, W.Va. He married Hettie Jo Laverty Gates 13 Jul 1910 in Raleigh Co., W.Va. Born 18 May 1886 in Raleigh County. Died 14 Jul 1966.

Information originally reported to us about him was that he was trained in gunsmithing by his father, was a state senator, Secretary of State under West Virginia Gov. Connelley (1928-1932) and founded the Raleigh Herald newspaper. A nephew, James R. Honaker, said that Thomas was a poet laureate of West Virginia. The information has not been corroborated. The West Virginia Archives said in 2007 that he was not Secretary of State at the beginning of the Connelley administration, but could have worked in the secretary’s office or in some other capacity in the administration.

He wrote two state songs, West Virginia Hills (not the well-known version sung today) and Hail West Virginia. West Virginia Hills was reprinted by the Honaker Family Association in 2007 and is available for sale from the association.

His cousin, Dr. George Thomas Honaker, a retired surgeon when he applied for membership in the California Society of the National Society Sons of the American Revolution 13 Aug 1951, said that his deceased cousin Thomas J. Honaker had been a member of the West Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution.

West Virginia Hillbilly, Richwood, W.Va., 7 Jul 1988: The Reader Writes—Dear Jim: The poem, “West Virginia,” by the late T.J. Honaker, Beckley, W.Va. (West Virginia Hillbilly, June 16, 1988), called to mind many fond memories of my native Raleigh County, and especially, my birthplace and rural boyhood home community at Saxon. The Hillbilly inquired, “and who was he? (Honaker)”.

T.J. (Thomas Jesse) Honaker (1874-1942), was the oldest of 13 children born to James Buchanan and Mary Virginia Daniel Honaker, Saxon; he and my late father, Ash H. Daniel, were first cousins. Tom Honaker was one of the many distinguished and honored citizens Raleigh County gave to the Mountain State and nation. His early education, such as was available at that time in rural and somewhat isolated communities at that time, was a one-room school at Honaker Mill (Saxon), taught by the late herb Doctor James F. Webb (born Carroll, Co., Va., 1831).

By pulling himself up by the grace of God and his own bootstraps, Tom Honaker at one time or another across his 68 years developed into a distinguished poet, writer, editor, and for some time, owner of the Beckley Post-Herald. Mr. Honaker served as Secretary of the State Board of Education of West Virginia; he was an employee for several years of Mr. Jackson Smith while he was Clerk of Raleigh County Circuit Court; he distinguished himself as treasurer of Beckley City Council, in 1916–1917. Prior to the previously mentioned, at the early age of 31, he was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt, the Postmaster of Beckley, in which office he served from 1905 to 1907.

T.J. Honaker married a widow, Mrs. Hattie Laverty Gates. Widow Gates had children by her previous husband, but none were born to the second marriage. Upon Mr. Honaker’s death in 1942, at Charleston, as I recall, his earthly remains were laid to rest at Sunset, Beckley, W.Va. Raleigh County, and more especially, Saxon, the place of his birth, can take great pride in giving this multi-talented servant to the Mountain State.

In the same issue of Hillbilly appeared a poem originally printed on a penny postcard. Under a state seal were the title, West Virginia, and the following lines:

Magnolias bloom in Southern lands, And the pines wave up in Maine; Pacific tides kiss Western sands, Golden grains grow on the plain. But in grand old West Virginia—Sweetest spot ’neath Heaven’s dome—If there’s love and goodness in you, Oh! How sweet is “Home, Sweet Home.” Here lovers stroll ’mong rocks and hills, Where the streams so sweetly flow; In pleasant shades the wild bird trills, And the Rhododendrons grow. The mountain girls are sweet and true, And the mountain boys are free—That’s why I send this card to you, Hoping that you’ll think of me.

Copyright, 1907, by T.J. Honaker, Beckley, W.Va.

“What better way for Hillbillies to wish each other a happy 125th birthday than by reproducing this card which, eighty years ago, one T.J. Honaker of Beckley, and who knows who he was?, printed up for people to send out with a penny stamp! So, rip off this front page and let it be your state’s birthday greeting in this year Nineteen Eighty-eight. (Reprinted from June 17 Hillbilly)”

A Diamond Jubilee Edition of the Beckley Post-Herald, 2 Aug 1975, marked 75 years of the newspaper’s publication. Researcher Jean R. Monk (jeanrm@) said in 2000 that the issue contained an article and copy of a document showing that T.J. Honaker purchased the newspaper from Dr. J.A. Campbell in 1903. A photograph cutline accompanying the article—

Whereas, T.J. Hanaker, on the 27th day of March, 1903, purchased from J.A. Campbell the printing plant known as the Raleigh Herald, for the sum of $1700.00, and whereas, a certain amount of money has got to be paid on or before the 9th day of April, 1903, to-wit, the said amount of $1700.00, and whereas the said T.J. Honaker has made arrangements to borrow the same from the Bank of Raleigh, Beckley, West Va., and whereas, the said T.J. Honaker agrees to keep the interest due thereon to said Bank paid promptly, and to pay off said sum of $1700.00 as rapidly as practicable, and to run said paper in the interest of the Republican party and it’s principles, in an honorable, clean and decent manner, and whereas the said T.J. Honaker agrees to secure the undersigned by deed of trust on the said plant, and as soon as practible, insure the same in a safe and reputable Insurance Company, to secure and protect the undersigned to the extent of the liabilities of each, hereinafter named, that is to say, we the undersigned, promise and guarantee the amount set opposite each of our names, but each one to be liable, only to the extent of the amount set opposite his name; the amount hereto subscribed is for the purpose of securing and saving harmless, any indorser, or indorsers, on any note, made by the said T.J.

In 2002 James Buchanan’s grandson James R. Honaker said that one of James Buchanan’s daughters married Jackie Star, lived in Skelton, W.Va., had two sons killed in submarines in the South Pacific during World War II, and a daughter, Madeline, who lived in Oceana, W.Va.

Charles Honaker, probably a grandson, married Addie Cozart. Because we cannot presently tie him to James, we have placed him and his descendants in the Unknown Chapter.

57. Andrew Jackson[3] Honaker (Abraham[2], Abraham[1]). Born Apr 1851 in Giles Co., Va.

The 1880 census found Andrew Jackson and his family in Newbern, Pulaski Co., Va. The census recorded him as 31, a widower and farm laborer born in Virginia, father and mother born in Virginia. Also in the household were John L., 8; James W., 7; Charles E., 3; Martha Skelton, 35; Margaret Skelton, 36.

In the 1900 census, he and his family were in the Auburn District, Montgomery Co., Va. He was a farmer.

He married, first, Unknown. Children:

57. i. John Lewis[4] Born 16 Sep 1872 in Virginia.

57. ii. James William. Born 29 Apr 1873 in Radford, Va.

iii. Charles E. Born 1877 in Virginia.

He married, second, Louisa Smith, daughter of Charles Smith and Catherine Unknown., 14 Mar 1878 in Pulaski Co., Va. They were married by George Stewart. Born 1858 in Montgomery Co., Va. Apparently died before the 1880 census, since Andrew was listed as a widower then.

He married, third, Martha B. Skelton, daughter of M. Skelton and N. Unknown, 17 May 1881 in Pulaski Co., Va. They were married by W.H. Price. Born Apr 1850 in Montgomery Co., Va. One researcher reported their two children below were adopted, but we’re not sure. They were raised with the Honaker surname:

iv. Lilly C.[4] Born Dec 1881.

57. v. Bessie L. Born Mar 1896 in Virginia.

58. James William[3] Honaker (called Bill) (Abraham[2], Abraham[1]). See photographs. It was first reported that he was James Walter Honaker, born 26 Aug 1856 in Giles Co., Va., died 7 Jul 1933 in Pocahontas, Tazewell Co., Va., buried in Pocahontas Cemetery. It was later reported by a great granddaughter that his middle name was William, that his birth year was 1858, and that he died in Bluefield [W.Va.] Sanitarium.

James moved his family from Giles County to Bluefield, W.Va. in 1887, where he operated a store. In 1900, after the store burned, he moved the family to Pocahontas, Va. In addition to being a storekeeper, during his lifetime he worked as a coal mine blacksmith, and drove the first streetcar in Bluefield, which was pulled by a team of horses; and in Pocahontas operated a taxicab company. An Aug 1933 obituary in the Bluefield [W.Va.] Daily Telegraph noted that he possessed a wealth of information concerning the area’s early history.

Bluefield [W.Va.] Daily Telegraph , Jul 1933: Pocahontas Man Dies of Wounds—Tazewell County Officials Seek Assailants of J.W. Honaker; Robbery Believed Motive of Crime

Tazewell county authorities late yesterday were without any tangible clues that might lead to the identity of the two persons who Tuesday night attacked J.W. Honaker, 73, of Pocahontas, inflicting wounds that resulted in his death early Friday morning.

Mr. Honaker, one of the early citizens of Bluefield, was attacked by two men near his home. Unconscious, he was brought to the Bluefield sanitarium early Wednesday morning. He died about 6 a.m Friday. In the belief that robbery was the motive of the attack, authorities have traced every possible clue but to no avail.

Mr. Honaker left home about 9 o’clock Tuesday evening with a colored man, Charles Oberton, who worked for him at intervals. They were on separate errands, Mr. Honaker to deliver a wagon part he had repaired for a neighbor, Bob Boone, while the colored man was to deliver a message from Mr. Honaker to another resident in a different direction.

Oberton was endeavoring to light his pipe and had fallen several feet to the rear. After reaching down to strike a match on a rock, he raised himself erect just in time to hear thudding blows and see three figures instead of one ahead of him. There was a loud scuffle, climaxed with Oberton being spied out in the shadows in the next instant. “Get him, too!” one of the men shouted, at which Oberton fled back to the Honaker home. Procuring a shotgun and enlisting the aid of a friend, he returned to find Mr. Honaker unconscious and prostrate in a pool of blood.

Mrs. Honaker supplied authorities with the information her husband was carrying fifty dollars in currency at the time he left home. There was no trace of it on his person when found. Mr. Honaker had resided in Pocahontas since 1900, and before that lived in Bluefield for thirteen years. With a team of horses he pulled the first horse-drawn street car in Bluefield. He possessed a wealth of information concerning the early history of this entire section.

Surviving are his widow, who before marriage was Miss Susan Williams, of Pembroke, and six children—Edgar, Estil and Albert Honaker, all of Pocahontas; Harvey Honaker, of Elkhorn; Mrs. Lon Overstreet and Mrs. Alex Reed, both of Pocahontas. There are thirty-six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church in Pocahontas this afternoon at 4 o’clock, conducted by the Rev. R.H. Bowden, assisted by the Rev. A.V. Rudy. Burial will be in the Pocahontas cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Frazier will sing.

He married Elizabeth Susan Williams (also reported as Susan Elizabeth) (called Sue), daughter of Harvey Andy Williams and Sarah Hodge (also reported as Hoge), 27 Jun 1878. The Rev. Jacob Douthat performed the ceremony at James’ family home in Pembroke, Va. Sue was born 11 May 1854 in Giles County. Died 3 Feb 1941 in Pocahontas. Buried in Pocahontas Cemetery. At the time of her marriage she was a Giles County schoolteacher. Children:

167. i. Edgar Jackson[4]. Born 14 May 1879.

ii. Walter J. Born 12 Feb 1882 in Giles Co., Va. Died in a coal mine accident. He was enumerated in the 1900 census as an 18-year-old teamster living in Bluefield, Mercer Co., W.Va.

iii. John Harvey. Born 14 May 1884 in Giles Co., Va., according to Giles County birth records. One researcher reported 6 Aug 1884. He married Nannie Unknown. He relocated to Michigan.

Fourth Generation

2.i.i. Samuel David[4] Wood (Elinder Jane[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]). Born l8 Jun l855 in Kentucky. Baptized in the Methodist Episcopal Church 23 Oct 1859 in Columbus, Bartholomew Co., Ind. He was a hostler and farmer.

He married Mary A. Unknown. Born 8 Aug 1866 in Kansas. Died 1 Nov 1899 in Riley Co., Kan. Children:

i. George E.[5] Born 4 Feb 1882 in Riley Co., Kan. Died 8 Mar 1884 in Riley County.

2.i.iv. Amelia Elizabeth[4] Wood (also Emila Elisabeth) (Elinder Jane[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[1]). Born l5 Jan 1859 in Indiana. Died 17 Oct 1946 in Ogden, Riley Co., Kan. Buried in Ogden. Baptized 23 Oct 1859 in the Methodist Episcopal Church in Columbus, Ind.

She married her first cousin, James Wood, eldest son of William Wood and Sarah Jones, 18 Apr 1880 in Kansas City, Jackson Co., Mo. Born 27 Sep 1844 in Liverpool, England. Died 5 Sep 1921 in Ogden, Kan. Buried in Ogden. He was a freighter and farmer.

Connelley, Kansas and Kansans: Vol. 4, contained the following profile of him: James Wood.

Among her valued citizens, Kansas can number yet many of her pioneers, not the floating population of her earliest territorial days, but men who came to the state as home seekers, even before the outbreak of the Civil War. These courageous and resourceful men are universally held in honorable esteem for the great progress made by Kansas was founded upon their hardihood and energy. One of these is found in James Wood, a representative citizen and a substantial farmer of Ogden Township, Riley County.

James Wood was born in England, Sept. 27, 1844, the eldest son of William and Sarah (Jones) Wood. They came to the United States in 1850, accompanied by their three sons, James, Thomas and William. After living about five years in Greenup Co., Ky., the family moved to La Salle Co., Ill., thence to Kansas, in the fall of 1857. They settled on the present farm of James Wood, in Ogden Township. Three more sons had been added to the family: Edward and Joseph, both of whom were born in Kentucky, and Charles, who was born in Illinois. The mother of James Wood died in 1862 and the father for his second wife chose Mrs. Elizabeth (Busby) Green, who became the mother of two children: Mary Ann and Ellen Elizabeth. After her death William Wood married a third time but there was no issue of that marriage.

From 1860 to 1866 William Wood was engaged in the freighting business, owning his own outfit and operating between Leavenworth and Fort Dodge. After retiring from this strenuous business he was engaged exclusively until his death in 1883, at the age of 63 years, in farming in Riley County. He was a man of true worth, of strong force of character, and his business efforts were attended with satisfying success. He was a consistent Christian, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was a careful and judicious father and kind and helpful neighbor.

James Wood was but six years of age when his parents cane to America and 13 when they came to Kansas. Children of pioneers had comparatively few educational advantages and James found his time taken up in attending to clearing up his father’s farm while the latter maintained his freighting business. After he was 21 years old he embarked in the same business for himself and during the two years in which he was so engaged had some thrilling experiences including two attacks by Indians on him with other freighters. In 1864, at Cow Creek, between Forts Riley and Larned, about 300 Indians opened fire upon the party of freighters which consisted of about 100 men. The fight lasted seven days and resulted in the killing of two of the freighters by the savages. The second attack from the Indians was made at Downer’s Station, on the Smoky Hill River, when the Indians numbered about 50 and the freighters 12. This was a sharp skirmish and the Indians succeeded in killing one of the party and captured two horses. Mr. Wood finally retired from this dangerous business, one that at the time was an absolute necessity because of lack of other methods of transportation, and then went into the peaceful, if laborious business of farming and stockraising. He has been eminently successful and now owns 640 acres of fine Kansas River valley land, on which are modern improvements including a handsome and commodious residence. Mr. Wood owns additionally 200 acres of ridge land, which he uses for grazing purposes.

Mr. Wood was married Apr. 18,1880, to Miss Amelia Elizabeth Wood, who is a daughter of Job and Eleanor Jane (Honaker) Wood. She was born in Indiana, Jan. 15, 1859. Her father, who was a brother of the late William Wood, was born in England and came to the United States in 1850. He lived first in Kentucky, then in Illinois and later in Missouri, and came to Kansas in 1873 and settled in Ogden Township, Riley County, where he died when aged 60 years.

Mrs. James Wood is one of a family of 12 children born to her parents and was in her 15th year when she came to Kansas and was 21 when she was married to Mr. Wood, he being then almost 36 years old. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are the parents of the following children: William Harry, Elsie Jane, James Clarence, Charles Henry and Job Elbert and Joseph Albert, twins. Job Elbert, Joseph Albert and Charles and William all live with their parents. James Clarence resides at Junction City and Elsie Jane, who is the wife of I.J. Shockley, a farmer, lives in Riley County.

Although nominally a democrat, Mr. Wood has always felt that he had the right to vote independently when his judgment prompted him. He has never desired public office for himself but has been the kind of citizen that has assisted good and competent men for positions of responsibility. He has long been identified with the Order of Odd Fellows. Mrs. Wood belongs to the Christian Church. Having spent the larger part of his life in Riley County and been a man of influence and importance in all that makes for good citizenship he has a very wide acquaintance and friends of many years standing.

Manhattan [Kan.] Mercury, 8 Jan 1902: THE GRAVE. [WOOD]—On Sat., Jan. 4, 1902, at his house near Eureka Lake, Oscar [Wood] died of dropsy. Mr. [Wood] has been ill for the past 15 months and has been confined to his bed and a chair during this time. He was one of Riley county’s best known farmers, having for a long time lived near the Lake. A wife is left to mourn his loss.

Manhattan [Kan.] Nationalist, 9 Jan 1902: Oscar Wood Dead. Oscar Wood died at his residence in Eureka Valley Sat., Jan. 4, 1902, aged 34 years. The deceased was a victim of dropsy, having suffered with this disease for nearly two years. For the past year he has been able neither to lie down nor stand up. His suffering has been almost beyond human endurance. All the assistance that could be rendered by loving hands and medical skill was unable to give relief. Mr. Wood spent practically all his life in this vicinity. He was married in 1891 to Elsie Smith, who with one son survives him. Several years ago he united with the Christian church, of which he ever since been a consistent and conscientious member. His sufferings were bore patiently and cheerfully, feeling that he would be restored. But the suffering was greater than his strength, and death finally gained the victory. The funeral services were held at the house, conducted by Rev. Rosenstein, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Manhattan cemetery. A large number of relatives and friends showed their respect by their presence. The bereaved wife and son have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.

He married Margaret Elsie Smith (called Effie), daughter of Robert Bruce Smith and Martha Ellen Thomas, 11 Jan 1891 in Manhattan. Born 1 Apr 1867 in Iowa. Died 20 Sep 1930 in Howard, Elk Co., Kan. Buried in Sunset Cemetery, Manhattan. Effie was a college dean.

Manhattan Mercury, 22 Sep 1930: MRS. EFFIE WOOD DEAD. Mrs. Effie Wood, resident of Manhattan until about six years ago, died Sunday night in the home of her brother, Ned Smith, at Howard. She had been making her home in Wichita. The body will be brought here for funeral services Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Southern funeral home.

A similar death notice appeared in The Manhattan Republic, 25 Sep 1930.

An account of the couple’s marriage appeared in the Manhattan [Kan.] Daily Report, 12 Jan 1891: Married Sunday, Jan. llth, by Elder A.J. Thomson, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. Oscar Wood and Miss Effie Smith, both of Manhattan.

A brief account was also published in The Manhattan Mercury, 14 Jan 1891. Children:

2.i.x. i. Willis Bruce[5]. Born 24 Oct 1891.

2.iii.ii. Samuel Winton[4] Honaker (called Winton) (Oscar F.[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]). Born in Sep 1854 in Pulaski Co., Va. He was a blacksmith. In the Pulaski County 1880 census, the family was recorded as Winton, 22; Sallie, 21, Robert, 2, son. In the Pulaski County 1900 census, the family was recorded as Wint, 45, born Sep 1854; Sallie, 37, born Jul 1862, bother of 10 children, 9 living; Maggie, 16, born Jun 1883; Laura, 15, born Aug 1884; Annie, 12, born Sep 1887; Mary, 11, born Apr 1889; John, 9, born Jul 1890; Rosa, 7, born Apr 1893; Charles, 5, born Dec 1894.

He married Sarah Freeman (called Sallie), daughter of William W. Freeman and Judy [or Juda] Unknown, 20 Sep 1877 in Pulaski County. Born in Jul 1862 in Wythe Co., Va. Children:

i. Robert Emmett[5]. The 1880 census recorded his age as 2. Pulaski County birth records

give his birth date as 25 Mar 1879.

2.iii.ii. ii. Margaret Jane (called Maggie). The 1900 census recorded her birth as Jun 1883. The

McDowell Co., W.Va. death register gave her birth as 1 Sep 1883.

iii. Laura. The 1900 census recorded her birth as Aug 1884. Pulaski County birth records

give her birth date as 13 Apr 1885.

iv. Nannie May (called Annie). The 1900 census recorded her birth as Sep 1887. Pulaski

County birth records give her birth date as 28 Jul 1887.

v. Mary. The 1900 census recorded her birth as Apr 1889. Pulaski County birth records give

her birth date as 3 Apr 1889.

vi. John. The 1900 census recorded his birth as Jul 1890.

vii. Edward. Pulaski County birth records give his birth date as 15 Dec 1890.

viii. Rosa. The 1900 census recorded her birth as Apr 1893.

ix. Charles. The 1900 census recorded his birth as Dec 1894.

x. Unknown.

She married, first, Unknown Heitz ca. 1887. Children:

i. Mary Emily[3]. Born 28 Jul 1893.

She married, second, James Benjamin Childers.

2.iv.iii. Margaret J.[4] Honaker (Oscar F.[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]). Born 8 Aug 1855 in Pulaski Co., Va. Recorded as Margaret I. on birth records, Margaret in the 1860 census, and Margaret J. in the 1870 census. She did not appear in her parents’ household in the 1880 census, when she would have been 24. However, a Margaret Taylor, wife of William A. Taylor, was enumerated in the 1880 census, p. 36, living in Pearisburg, Va., and a “Maggie” and “Andrew” Taylor were enumerated in the 1900 Giles County census, p. 162B, in Pearisburg; children were John, William, Sallie, Mary Jane, Thomas Andrew, James and Annie. The 1900 census shows Maggie born Aug 1856. (One researcher gave the date as 5 Aug 1856.) The birthdate and proximity suggest that she is our Margaret J. If so, the following are correct.

She married William Andrew Taylor, son of James A. Taylor and Sarah E. Clyburn, 29 Apr 1878 in Giles Co., Va. Born Jun 1858 in Virginia. Died in Virginia. Children:

i. John William[5]. Born May 1879.

ii. Sallie. Born May 1881.

2.iv.iii. iii. Mary Jane. Born 23 Feb 1883 in Giles Co., Va.

2.iv.iii. iv. Thomas Andrew. Born 20 May 1889.

v. James. Born 1893.

vi. Annie. Born 1896.

vii. Daniel. Born 1898.

2.iv.iv. William H.[4] Honaker (Oscar F.[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]). Born in Sep 1856 in Giles Co., Va.

His family was listed in the 1900 Pearisburg District, Giles Co., Va., census as household #28, four dwellings distant from his father. The family was enumerated as William H. Honaker, 43, born Sep 1856, married 22 years, carpenter, could read and write, rented a house; Elizabeth, 41, born Dec 1858, mother of nine children, six children living, could read and write; Osker F., son, 16, born Feb 1884, carpenter, could read and write; John F., son, 12, born Apr 1888, at school; Della, daughter, 9, born Dec 1890, a school; Edward J., son, 5, born Aug 1894; Harry, 2, born Dec 1897.

In the 1910 Pearisburg District census, the family was household #31, listed as William Honaker, 51, one marriage, railroad laborer, had been out of work for three weeks in 1909 and was out of work on 15 Apr 1910 (date used by the government to calculate unemployment statistics), could not read and write, had attended school since 1 Sep 1909, rented a house; Elizabeth, 51, one marriage, mother of nine children, six children living; John, 22, son, railroad laborer; Edward, 16, son; Harry, 13, son; and a boarder, Emil Bauman, 20, railroad laborer. The 1910 census implies William was laid off from his railroad job and differs from the 1900 census because it indicates he was not literate. It also shows that he had attended school recently, unusual for a person of his age. We do not know whether this was enumerator error, whether William was receiving tutoring to become literate, or if there is another explanation.

He married Elizabeth Clyburn (called Lizzie) 24 Apr 1876 in Giles County. Children (there were nine by the 1900 census, six of whom were living, but only five are known):

i. Osker F.[5] Born in Feb 1884.

ii. John F. Born in Apr 1888.

iii. Della. Born in Dec 1890.

iv. Edward J. Born in Aug 1894.

iii. Jane. Born in Mar 1880 in Kentucky.

iv. Carrie or Phoebe. Born ca. 1880. In 2000, researcher Rhonda Nunley Crawford said her

great grandmother was a Phoebe Honaker, parents Jim and Jane, a brother named Wilbure; she married a Poe; was buried in Harmon Cemetery, Lawrence Co., Ky., and so was Wilbure (possibly Charles W. above.) The family lived in Louisa, Buchanan Co., Ky. This might be that Phoebe.

v. James Madison [Deegins]. Born in Feb 1882. He was enumerated 16 Jun 1900 in the Hogan Twp., Franklin Co., Ark., census. James Madison Honaker (may have been James Jr.,) was adopted by his grandparents, Henry Clay and Octavia (Arthur) Honaker Deegins. We do not know the reason for this. An explanation may be that his mother died while he was an infant, which would have made it impossible for his father to raise him and the others. He married Maxie Arthur, daughter of David Lovejoy and Columbia Arthur. Born 7 Sep 1892. Died ca. Oct 1977 in Aurora, Dearborn Co., Ind.

He married, second, Sarah E. Macy. Children:

The 1880 Boyd Co., Ky, census, Precinct 6, Upper Cattlettsburg, White’s Creek, enumerated household #35 (all born in Kentucky), the residence of Arthur Eli, 60, farmer; and his wife Margaret, 60, she could not read or write; their daughters Elizabeth and Columbia; Johnnie Honaker, 17, nephew, working on the farm; and Margaret Honaker, 14, niece.

The 1900 Boyd County census, Precinct 14, enumerated household #152 (all born in Kentucky, all except the youngest able to read and write) as follows—John Honaker, 37, born Feb 1863, married 17 years, farmer, owned (by mortgage) his farm; Emaline, 35, wife, married 17 years, mother of five living children, parents born in Virginia; Lyda, 15, daughter, born May 1885, at school; Freddie, 13, son, born Mar 1887, at school; Lota, 10, daughter, born Jan 1890, at school; Lillian, 4, daughter, born Feb 1896; Lura, 1, daughter, born Dec 1898.

He married Emaline Blankenship 1 Feb 1883, probably in Boyd County. Born 18 Apr 1863 in Catlettsburg. Died 21 Aug 1921 in Catlettsburg, where they lived. Buried in Clarkson Cemetery, Catlettsburg. Children:

2.v.iv. i. Lydia[5]. Born 26 May 1885.

2.v.iv. ii. Fred. Born 31 Mar 1887.

2.v.iv. iii. Lota. Born 6 Jan 1890.

2.v.iv. iv. Lillian (Lily in the 1920 census). Born 13 Feb 1896.

2.v.v. Margaret A.[4] Honaker (John Wallace[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[l]. The 1870 census gives Margaret’s age as 6, indicating an approximate birth year of 1864, born in Kentucky.

The 1880 Boyd Co., Ky, census, Precinct 6, Upper Cattlettsburg, White’s Creek, enumerated household #35 (all born in Kentucky), the residence of Arthur Eli, 60, farmer; and his wife Margaret, 60, she could not read or write; their daughters Elizabeth and Columbia; Johnnie Honaker, 17, nephew, working on the farm; and Margaret Honaker, 14, niece.

Subsequent research has identified a Margaret Amelia Honniker, born 25 Feb 1860 in Kentucky, died 14 Jan 1930 in Arkansas, married John Anderson Plymale. Born in 1861 in Pikeville, Ky. Died 28 Jun 1932 in Arkansas. We do not know whether Margaret A. and Margaret Amelia are the same person. There is a five or six year reported difference in age. One would think the census would not mistake a ten-year-old for a five-year-old. Otherwise, the two appear to be a close fit, and we will report Margaret Amelia’s line as though she were Margaret A., until future research may show otherwise. Margaret Amelia and John had 12 children, only one of whom was reported):

2.v.v. i. William Ernest[5].

6.xi.i. Maggie M.[4] Honaker (Caroline Virginia[3], Henry[2], Abraham[l]). Born Aug 1880 in Rocky Gap, Bland Co., Va. In the 1910 census she was living with her parents in Rocky Gap, enumerated as married. In that census, two of Maggie’s children were also in that household, James F. Evick and Willie F. Evick. In the 1920 census Maggie was still living with her parents, enumerated as a widow. Oddly, neither James nor Willie was in the household, but two different children were, Fred Evick and Pauline Evick. She may have come to her parents’ home with James and Willie, pregnant with Pauline, but what of Fred?

She married Unknown Evick. Born in Ohio. Died between 1910 and 1920. Children:

16.i. Josephus[4] Journell (called Joe Cash) (Benjamin Franklin[3], Margaret J.[2], Abraham[1]). See photographs. Born 5 Mar 1856 in Giles Co., Va. Died 22 May 1932 in Charleston, Kanawha Co., W.Va. He used the name Joseph Journell in legal documents but was known in Clay and Kanawha Counties, W.Va., as “Joe Cash,” his stepfather’s surname. His granddaughter Barbara Louise (Journell) Comer said in 2016 that he lived on the Elk River in Clay Co., W.Va., built a huge boarding house and 16 houses on his several hundred acres. She said that she and her siblings were born and lived on his property there.

Unknown newspaper, 12 May 1932: Death of Joe Cash, Elk River Character, Mourned in County—Widely Known and Likeable Fisherman Succumbs at 85; Many Local Dignitaries Were His Nimrod Friends

The “Elk river fisherman,” Joe Cash, is dead. Eighty-five, dim of sight, Joe Cash passed on Wednesday at his home along King Eddy. His death was speeded when in his declining health he went in a hillside apple orchard and fell out and broke his leg.

The orchard was on the steep side of a hill—so steep, Joe’s friends said, that Joe didn’t pick the apples but waited for them to fall from the trees and roll down into his yard. In his tumble Joe rolled out of the orchard, fracturing a bone in his leg.

Funeral services were bring arranged for him Thursday. He is to be buried near his place, along the Elk, which for years has been a rendezvous of fishermen.

Joe Cash, at 85, was one of the most likeable characters the county perhaps has known. The valley’s fishermen, especially the older heads, were well acquainted with him, and the tales of his prowess and troubles are legion. Perhaps his two most noted friends were former Gov. William A. MacCorkle and Councilman H.L. Wehrle. The latter, on Thursday, became his historian.

“He was known to all us older fellows,” said Mr. Wehrle. “There were Governor MacCorkle, Judge Samuel C. Burdette and Judge Frank A. Guthrie, who spent time frequently at his camp. “But Governor MacCorkle—there was a friend. He got Joe out of seven marriages. “Six times the governor went into court for Joe. When Joe made his seventh request, the governor said to him, “Joe, I’m ashamed to go into court for you. You’ve been divorced from six wives. The court will ridicule me.”

Joe told him: “ ‘Billie’—He always called him that, and his voice would squeak way up high—‘If you get this for me I’ll swear to God I’m never going to marry another as long as I live.’ He held to his bargain. From all of these marriages Joe had three children one of whom is dead. They’re a married daughter and a boy about 10 years old left.

“Joe was always into trouble. A good many years ago he hit a man on the head with a poker. No, he wasn’t prosecuted. They figured they couldn’t prove it and anyway—this man was just like Joe so perhaps society was better off. That’s why Joe moved up Elk.

“Why the stories we know about that man would fill several books. Governor MacCorkle never was an after dinner speaker or a toastmaster that he didn’t refer to Joe Cash and some of the trouble he’d been into. Joe was a good fisherman—about the best these parts have seen. He caught whoppers, as big as the ones that got away. All us fishermen dropped into his place for a yarn.

“Governor MacCorkle represented Joe for 45 years. Every lawyer in town knew him, as a prosecuting counsel usually, and they all liked him. One day the governor took a minister out fishing with Joe. It was the only time he tried that. Joe either ignored or forgot he had a man of the cloth with him.

“If you were Joe’s friend there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you. If he didn’t like you, it was wise to leave him alone. And for his friends he would always point out where the fish were biting best and would help you catch them.

“There are many stories about him. They aren’t just stories, either. Perhaps one of the best was the time Joe was dynamiting fish, and Uncle Dan Cunningham, who was a game warden then, went out to catch him. Joe didn’t let on he knew who Dan was, and he and Dan went out to dynamite some fish. Dan handed him the dynamite to throw in the river. Joe lit the fuse and dropped it into the boat. ‘Now, jump,’ he waid to Dan. Dan threw out the dynamite and gave up trying to catch Joe.

Joe Cash, a Clay County Legend, by Eloise Boggs

Clay County has had quite a few legendary men about whom much has been written, still more told, and, sad to say, much too much forgotten. Such a man was Joe Cash, who lived in my community many years ago when I was a little girl. Born Josephus Journell in 1856 in Virginia, Joe was brought up in West Virginia by a stepfather, William Cash, whom his mother married after the death of Joe’s father in the Civil War. Joe adopted the surname of his stepfather.

Joe Cash lived alongise the [Baltimore & Ohio] Railroad on Elk about a mile or so below Camp Creek Railroad Station (Levi Reed had the Procious Post Office and a general store there between the railroad the the bridge which crosses Elk River. Creed and JoAnna Samples now live where the Levi Reed house was.) One of Joe’s relatives—Frank, as I recall—lived next to Joe and there were other houses there in the bottom often referred to then as “Cash Town.” I don’t recall what Joe Cash looked like, although I must have seen him numerous times since we passed his house every Sunday as we walked from back on the hill and down the tracks to Apex to attend Sunday School. I do remember well his wife Martha, referred to simply as Marth Cash and a character in her own right. She was a Myers and had married a Goff before she married Joe.

Joe and Marth had a son, Howard “Jim” Cash who attended school at Oak Hill and is in the 1928-29 school picture, all smiles, which was his usual expression. “Jim” used to toss snowballs at us little ones at school and we scrambled to catch them because inside the snowball Jim had hidden a piece of hard candy. These details I remember, but not Joe himself. However, for some reason, the sight of tall black leather boots reminds me of Joe Cash. The boots were probably part of Joe’s fishing gear, for Joe was a fisherman if ever there was one. Most of the stories written about Joehad to do with fishing.

Another thing that Joe did well was make moonshine. Some of the fishing stories written about Joe have to do with his hobnobbing with dignitaries from Charleston, taking them fishing and even selling fish to Governor MacCorkle. It has been said that he also used to sell them some of his “white lightning” once in a while, but those are the things that don’t get into print.

Anyway, it was reputed to be of a quality that would sell well in high places, and with this practice as with others in his life, Joe was always able to stay a step or two ahead of the law.

I doubt that anyone in the area knew Joe Cash any better than Howard White, who grew up on his father’s (Brad White’s) farm which joined Joe’s hillside property. In Hickory and Lady Slippers, Vol. I, Howard sums up the legendary Joe Cash in his article, “An Accomplished Witness.”

“Old Joe Journell, alias Joe Cash, came from Old Virginia (he always said) to the neighborhood of

Charleston just after the Civil War. Here he worked around the wharves and sold fish that he took out of the river, and at times he worked with the timber that had been “run” down Elk River. He became adept at handling a jonboat or in making fish traps and nets, but he never learned to read or write. He did learn to talk, however, and could tell the best fish tale imaginable.

“His ability to catch fish—by fair means or foul—and his genial disposition had the effect of making him many friends. Before he was forty, he had four wives, all living, and the elite of the valley came to Joe’s houseboat or to his river shack to hear a fish tale or to go with him after the finny tribe. Governor MacCorkle, Sam and Adam Littlepage, Judge Sam Burdette and others of prominent station were firm friends of Old Joe and often served him a good term in times of need.

“Our hero had many friends in the capital city when he came to the wilds of the Elk in the early nineties. But he seldom returned to see them. One thing, however, never failed to take him back to town—when a wife ran off, everybody knew that Joe would be going to the city next day for another woman.

“In his new home he attended strictly to his own business. He would lend a neighbor any tool he had, and he had more than all his neighbors together, and he would tell a sick friend a story that would make him forget that he was ill; then he would borrow a tree from you before you knew if—if it had logs in it that could be slipped into the river (Joe was a riverman and never had a team.)

“He settled on the bank of the river just below the Tom Rock, a place with plenty of garden space and a long blue eddy to fish in. Here he made a log boom of logs fastened end-to-end with chain dogs. This boom was used to aid him in stopping the logs that came down the river, or to hold those that he had already stopped. You see, at this time the Hardmans, the Waggys, and other lumbermen who had drifted logs out of the river, had thousands of them in the driftwood on the bars and islands from Charleston to Sutton. Some of the logs, of course, would sink when put into the river, and these were the logs that interested Joe. He claimed that a sunken log was a lost log and the man who raised it had the right to use it, sell it, or saw off the end if he wanted to; and when a freshet came, Joe and his woman could be seen darting out into the current and guiding the best logs into the open-mouth boom, Joe working the oars dexterously and tirelessly, with the woman sitting in the stern of the boat with an axe. The cunning old boatman would work his way up the river a little way, and when he saw a log coming, he would meet it at right angles in mid-stream. As he turned the boat in a flash, the old girl nailed the fine log with the axe, and almost before she was in balance, the expert oarsman was towing his catch to the boom.

“Joseph Journell, alias Joe Cash, was charged countless times with ‘bobbing’ logs, but they never got him. He had been ‘struck’ for two years in his young days for appropriating a yoke of cattle, but they never got him after that. He always attended Circuit Court in his own behalf, either to answer to a charge of rafting the wrong logs or to living with the wrong woman. But he contended that a man had a right to hire himself a cook, and he usually got away with it.”

Joe Cash, born Josephus Journell, died in 1932 and is buried in the Reed-Walker Cemetery not far from where he lived.

Clay County Free Press, Clay, W.Va., 19 Nov 1975: Governor MacCorkle Buys a Fish

Once upon a time there lived on the bank of Elk River in the lower end of Clay County one Joe Cash, who made a precarious living catching stray saw logs, and as a guide for Charleston dudes who visited that part of the county for the purpose of trying their hands of the piscatorial art of catching any kind of fish that would fall for the artificial lure offered to it.

One of Joe’s regular customers was William A. MacCorkle, chief executive of the Imperial State of West Virginia. On one of his many trips up Elk River the governor told Joe that if at any time he caught a real fine black bass, a fish for which the river was famous, to be sure and bring it to him at the executive mansion in Charleston and he would reward him liberally. One morning Joe succeeded in landing a very fine bass, one weighing four or five pounds, which he knew would please His Excellency very much. Joe wrapped up the fish in some newspapers, informed his wife of his contemplated trip to the executive mansion, and took his departure for Porters, the railroad station about a mile below his residence, where he expected to catch the morning passenger train for Charleston.

When he arrived at Porters, the train was reported late, and Joe retired to a saloon across Porters Creek, run by one Rarick, to while away the time. He laid his bundle, containing the fish, on the bar and ordered a drink. About this time a man, a stranger to Joe, came into the saloon, carrying a bundle similar to Joe’s and having laid his bundle on the bar alongside of Joe’s ordered a drink.

In a few minutes he had Joe engaged in conversation. After having consumed the drinks already ordered, they each ordered another drink, and still another, until both of them were beginning to feel the effects of the liquor. About this time the locomotive whistle blew for Porters, and each of them seized a bundle, and they both ran to catch the train.

In due time Joe arrived at the executive mansion, pounded on the front door until it was opened by the butler, and demanded of the latter an audience with His Excellency, the governor. The butler eyed Joe closely, scanned his tattered old hat, his unwashed face, his ragged clothes and faded shoes, and asked Joe his name, place of abode, and business. Joe was not accustomed to so much ceremony, and being somewhat ruffled by the cold, haughty politeness of the butler, exclaimed in a loud voice, “You tell that redheaded Bill MacCorkle that Joe Cash is out here with the biggest black bass ever caught in Clay County.” Thereupon the butler carefully closed the door and retreated to the governor’s office and delivered Joe’s message.

In due time, Joe was ushered into the governor’s presence. He laid his bundle on the table, saying, “Governor, here is that black bass I promised you. If I hadn’t had the best fishing tackle in the state, I never would have landed him. He is as strong as Mart Boggs’ mule and weighs at least ten pounds. He’s the biggest black bass that ever swum in Elk River.”

The governor, somewhat excited, pulled out a ten dollar bill, shoved it into Joe’s hand, thanked him profusely for the fish, and commenced to cut the string and open up the bundle. In the meantime Joe had started for the door. When the paper was removed, there lay before the astonished eyes of the governor a large yellow-bellied catfish, which by real sportsmen is regarded as unfit for food. By this time Joe had reached the door, but the governor, being angry, exclaimed, “Come back here, Cash. What do you you mean by playing a trick like this on me?”

Joe came back, puzzled at the governor’s words, and not knowing what it was all about. Having reached the table, he gazed long and intently at the catfish, too astonished to utter a word. He looked at the fish, then at the governor, his face registering astonishment and consternation. Finally he recovered his composure enough to say, “Governor, I’ve caught many a gol-derned black bass in Clay County and sold it in Kanawha County, but this is the first one I ever caught in Clay County that turned to a ‘yeller’-bellied catfish in Kanawha County.”

He married many times, but only one wife’s name was reported. She was Martha Ellen Jones, daughter of Abraham P. Jones and Mary Elizabeth Taylor of Roane Co., W.Va. Born 1880. Died 1949. She married, first, William Goff and in that marriage had two children, Sophronia and Ida May.

He married Nancy Lamar, daughter of James Severs Lamar and Leila McCord (called Ida). Born in Sep 1875 in Nodaway Co., Mo.

In 2000, researcher Heather McClaren Sipes was looking for a great grandfather Fred Honaker who married her great grandmother in Nodaway Co., Mo. Subject to future confirmation, we assume that this is the correct Fred because he was enumerated in Nodaway Co., Mo., as a child in the census, 1 Jun 1880. He is the only Fred that we know of to date who is a likely candidate.

A computer genealogical registry, , in 2000 showed a Fred Honaker who died 9 Mar 1952. His wife was Nancy Lamar, daughter of James Severs Lamar and Leila McCord (called Ida), born in Sep 1875 in Nodaway Co., Mo., died after 1952. It was Heather’s understanding that Leila had Indian blood. Fred and Nancy married 21 Dec 1892 and had nine children.

A query by Ruth Petracek in Orange County California Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 24, No. 2 (Jun 1987), cited the same information in the preceding paragraph, adding that the older children were born in Missouri, but the family moved to Ainsworth, Neb., after 1910, which is where Fred died.

We had a nice, small home where my mother’s folks lived. Dad was a Church of God preacher. I remember he would go on revivals and sometimes I would go with him. Later, when I was about 10 or 11, we went to Montcalm, W.Va., where he pastored a church. It was then that Mom and Dad separated, and I don’t know much about where he was. I remember when my first son was about five or six, we went to visit him and his new wife, Lucille Riggs. He had been working in the coal mines. He was in the Welch, W.Va. hospital and my sister and I went to the hospital to see him. He lived in Kimball, W.Va. He had his leg taken off from an accident in the mines.

Died ca. 1913 in Crumpler (Windmill Gap), W.Va. Her daughter Clarence said her mother had a bad cough for several years before she died; she may have had tuberculosis, which her father died from. Her son Forrest said that although he was only two when she died, he remembered her in her coffin, with a baby; however, no baby is listed in the family Bible.

She married Levi Edward Bailey, son of Wilson Lee Bailey and Elizabeth McComas, ca. 1888 in West Virginia.

Died of prostate cancer 24 Apr 1947 in Bluefield, W.Va. He was a farmer. He also married Anna Ratliffe.

A granddaughter, Mary Redmond, provided this recollection in 2002: “I remember Grandpa Bailey as a tall, very thin man with a fringe of silver hair from ear to ear, totally bald on top. He was a rather cold man who didn’t seem to realize we kids were around, much less show any signs of affection for us. He came through Ashland every Saturday during the late summer and fall with a wagon pulled by his mule, Tobe, from which he sold fruits and vegetables grown on his farm. He had a 98-acre farm on the mountain above Crumpler with a very large orchard where he grew many varieties of apples, pears, peaches and grapes. After grandpa died, dad [Forrest] decided he wanted to live on the farm. When he had the deed searched, he said that the farm had actually belonged to his mother, given to her by her father. Grandpa had let it go for taxes and then bought it back in his and his second wife’s names.”

My dad had a Model T Ford. They snapped the ising glass windows in place, as cars did not have heaters. They took blankets, pillows, food and lots of warm clothing. I think the bad weather was the reason she was not buried beside Peter.” Children:

67. George A.[4] Honaker (Samuel L.[3], Samuel C.[2], Abraham[1]). See photograph, 2001 gift of Terri Parrish of Marshall, Mo., and Louise Cox of Antioch, Tenn. This photograph is marked on the back, in pencil, “George Honaker, Henley, Mo.” It was purchased by Terri Parrish for $1 at a garage sale in case the subject might be a relative of Louise Cox, who had Honakers in her indirect family line. Louise sent it to us to forward to any descendants who may be known. At the time we received the photograph, there were dozens of George Honakers known to us, half of them alive when the photograph would have been made. Henley, population 80 in the 1990 census, is in Cole County south of Jefferson City in central Missouri. Only one George was known to have lived in Cole Co., Mo., and that was this George A. We believe the image is of him.

An article about his son, dean of the College of Education, East Tennessee State University, said that Lombe Sr. had been athletic director of Maryville College for 39 years.

In 2010 Maryville College Director of Communications Karen B. Eldridge was kind enough to provide the following articles from college files:

Unknown source (with photograph): Coach Honaker, 38 Years at MC, Stricken, Dies

Coach Lombe Scott Honaker, who came to Maryville College in 1921 as Director of Athletics and head coach of football, basketball, and baseball, died suddenly at his home in Maryville a few days before the opening of school this fall. Although Coach Honaker had retired in 1959, he remained active in community affairs and was a loyal supporter of the Scot teams he coached for so many years.

For 38 years Coach Honaker was Athletic Director and head coach at Maryville. At the time of his retirement his long service received wide attention. His record is probably not equalled in the United States. He coached each of three major sports for more than 40 playing seasons, and his total career covered 45 years, in which he coached football teams for 42 years, basketball teams for 40 years, and baseball teams for 41 years.

At the time of his retirement at Maryville there was only one other college coach in the country who had been in active service longer at one institution. In January, 1959, Coach Honaker was presented a plaque by the American Association of Baseball Coaches for his contributions to college baseball.

A native of Bland, Va., where he was born in 1888, Coach Honaker held the B.A. degree from Roanoke College, Va.,where he graduated in 1912. Before he came to Maryville he was a high school principal, teacher, and coach. Coach Honaker came to Maryville from Lincoln College in Illinois after coaching there and at Baldwin-Wallace in Ohio and Southwestern University in Texas.

Maryville College’s football field is named in his honor, and a memorial service for him was to be held Oct. 10 at the first home football game.

“The quality and depth of Coach Honaker’s character and manly influence were felt by generations of Maryville students and by all who knew him,” Dr. Joseph J. Copeland, Maryville College president, said. “He was held in highest respect and esteem throughout his long career at Maryville College. His death will occasion sadness in the hearts of the hundreds of young men he coached and those who knew him and worked with him in the College and the community.”

Lloyd, Maryville College, a History of 150 Years: 1819-1969:

Coaches

As reported earlier in this chapter, Maryville College appointed its first full-time coach in 1903. From then until 1921, a considerable number of men served as coaches of the various sports, their terms usually being for only one, two, or three years. Some were young men earning a little money before going on to further study.

In 1921 Lombe Scott Honaker, who had been a coach at Southwestern University, Texas, became

Associate Professor of Physical Training and Director of Athletics, a position he held with some advance in title until his retirement 38 years later, in 1959. Until near the end of that period, he served with marked success as coach of three major sports, football, basketball, and baseball. A coaching staff was assembled and the College’s athletic program was steadily developed and stabilized. One member of the staff, John A. Davis, ’30, has served since 1940. Coach Honaker received a number of national recognitions and trophies, his career being an outstanding one in the nation’s athletic history. He died in 1964, and in 1968 he was elected posthumously to the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

His successor is Boydson H. Baird, ’41, who as a student played under him, returned to Maryville in 1959 from a coaching position at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, and has now served a full decade. Since the 1920s, all permanent full-time coaches have held faculty rank; and their long tenures witness to the fact that the College does not dismiss coaches merely because a team has a losing season and fans agitate for a change, as they sometimes do. They are selected with the same regard for character and dedication to Christian higher education as are other members of the faculty. Their influence on students has been consistently constructive.

He married Helen Brooks. Born ca. 1896. Died ca. 1994. Buried in Grandview Cemetery, Maryville.

Maryville College newspaper, ca. 1995: Helen Brooks Honaker, 98, widow of Lombe Honaker, athletic director and coach at the College for many years, died at Asbury Acres Nursing Home Jan. 20. She came to Maryville in 1921 when her husband joined the College faculty. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her son, L. Scott Honaker, Jr. She was a member of Broadway Methodist Church in Maryville. Survivors include her son, S. Ross Honaker of Maryville, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Burial was in Grandview Cemetery.

One researcher reported that Lee was chief detective for the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency of Bluefield, Va., the well known coal union strike-breaking firm, but this seems a poor fit with Lee’s previously reported history.

He married, first, Rachel Elizabeth Bailey, daughter of Zachariah Henry Bailey Jr. and Elizabeth Dillon (also reported as Dillion). Zachariah was a brother of Aaron Bailey, great grandfather of Walter Martin[10] Bailey (Frederick[1]).

He married, second, Blanche V. Perry 26 May 1915. Born 11 Sep 1880. Died 15 Sep 1994. Buried in Teays Hill Cemetery, St. Albans. Researcher Penny Ramsey Morris said in 2000 that her Grandparents Solomon Franklin Ramsey and Lula Virginia Perry are buried next to the four-casket crypt of W.L. Honaker and his wife Blanche, and Joseph E. Perry and his wife Virginia L. Miller. Penny was told by her mother that those in the crypt were Lula’s relatives. One might conclude that Joseph and Virginia were Blanche’s parents, but this is not known.

Died 22 Jun 1968 in Princeton, Mercer County. Buried in McComas-Crotty Cemetery, Pinoak. In 2012 his granddaughter Rondell Belt, daughter of Everett Lowery, said that Millard built the house in Matoka, Mercer County, where her father was born, and which was still standing in 2012. It had an addition, she said, but if you look carefully you can see the original structure. Everett inherited a rocking chair and clock that his father built, and Rondell inherited a child’s split bottom rocking chair that Millard made with oak slats which he wove into the frame. He was, she said, “a jack of all trades, a master carpenter, a blacksmith, a vet, and a beekeeper…one census has him listed as a coal mine blacksmith…he was in his 60s when I was born but he didn’t talk much and didn’t smile much. I often wondered what drew all of his wives to him. We will never know. His kids were so different from him. They were all talkers. When Aunt Iva was around, no one else got a chance to talk. She had the strongest personality of all. Aunt Verlie was much the same. Uncle Earl was funny but controlling and wanted things his way.  Dad is more relaxed and giving but very personable. Aunt Murrell and Aunt Omega were the mildest of the group but still very personable.  Aunt Omega doted on her nieces and nephews.  She and I corresponded often.  I saved one of her letters and am so glad that I did.”

143. Flossie Louella[4] McComas (Olevia Ann[3], James A.[2], Abraham[l]). Born 4 Dec 1881 in Pinoak, Mercer Co., W.Va. Died 3 Jan 1928 in Lashmeet, Mercer County. Buried in McComas-Crotty Cemetery, Pinoak. She was an outspoken, independent woman and resolute member of Rich Creek Primitive Baptist Church. She lived alone for several years after her children had all left home. She could shoot well and feared no one. She had a fox horn to call her neighbors if she got sick. When her three younger children were grown and could not get along, she left without telling them where she was going and came to a sister’s house for a week, leaving them to fare for themselves. She had no more trouble with them. Her nephew Darrel McPherson said she had whiskers which she usually shaved, but would sometimes grow just to beard the young men, including himself. It took several years, he said, for him to grow enough beard to hold his own with her. She loved to relate family history, which inspired Darrel’s love for the same. Flossie possessed the family’s James A. Honaker dulcimer, which was to pass to the first grandchild who learned to play it. When Flossie’s sister Dulcy was learning to play, Dulcy demonstrated her ability in hopes that it would win her the instrument. After she’d finished, Flossie asked for it, demonstrated her own ability, and claimed it. Their brother Millard made a copy of it which he gave to Dulcy. While Millard was working on it, his son Earl also made one. Like his father, Earl gave the one he made to his sister, Murrel Olive. Several years before she died, Murrell Olive returned it to him so it would remain in his family and to alleviate the problem of her three different grandchildren all wanting it.

Buried in McComas-Crotty Cemetery, Pinoak. A photograph of him with his gun and two bears appeared in a Baily family history book by Richard Baily and a Mercer County history book.

In 2012, Frances’ granddaughter Judy Louise[6] (Honaker) Peck wrote the following notes about Frances.

“She was related to John D. Cook (Cooke) who was the first settler of Wyoming Co., W.Va. He was her great great great grandfather. Her genealogy is as follows: (1) John D. Cooke and Eleanor “Nellie” Pemberton Goodall, her great great great grandparents; (2) William Cook and Catherine Stewart (daughter of Capt. Ralph Stewart and his second wife, Mary “Polly” Clay.) Mary Clay was the daughter of Mitchell Clay and Phoebe Belcher. Mitchell was the first settler in Mercer Co., W.Va. These were her great great grandparents [Captain Stewart’s grave is marked by Daughters of the American Revolution at the Keatley Cemetery, Clear Fork, W.Va., between Oceana and Kopperston. His burial place is the James Mandeville Homestead, at what was formerly known as the Craney post office. The cemetery also has been known as the Cozort Cemetery]; (3) Pemberton Cook and Ruth Shumate, her great grandparents; (4) James Perry Cook and Julie Anne Sarrett, her parents.

“John D. ‘Little Jack’ Cooke was born 28 Jun 1752 in Westminster, London, England. He arrived in Virginia in 1772 at the age of 21. He died 21 Nov 1832 at the age of 80 in Mouth of Laurel, Wyoming Co. (West) Va. He married Eleanor “Nellie” Pemberton Goodall 6 Apr 1773 in Shenandoah, Prince William Co., Va. She also had arrived in 1772. He was the first Cooke to come to America. He was a Revolutionary War soldier, first fighting in Lord Dunmore’s War in 1773, Indian scout, and first settler of Wyoming Co., (West) Va. There are DAR plaques for John Cook and Ralph Stewart (the second settler of Wyoming County, who was also a grandfather of hers) in Wyoming County.

“West Virginia Historical Plaque inscription: ‘John Cooke—First settler of Wyoming County. He was born in London, 1752, and kidnapped and sold to Virginia planter as an indentured servant. He was a revolutionary soldier and fought in battles of Point Pleasant, Monmouth and Stony Point. In lieu of army pay, he was given grant of land in Montgomery County, Virginia, located on Little Laurel, on which he and two sons settled, 1799. He is buried here in the Delilah Chapel graveyard.”

His ashes are interred in Chapel of Chimes, Oakland, Alameda County. He was a physician who graduated Barnes Medical College, St. Louis, Mo., in 1900 and was licensed in California in 1920. He was a member of Alameda-Contra Costa Medical Association and California Medical Association, and associate member of the American Medical Association.

Chapel, Gun Collector’s Handbook of Values, 1947, was dedicated to Dr. George T. Honaker, no explanation given. In Chapt. 25, American Gunmakers of the Flintlock Period, the author included the following: “J. Honaker, of Pennsylvania, was famous for his turkey rifles. His relatives in Virginia and West Virginia also made rifles, and the descendant of one of those pioneers is the man to whom this book is dedicated.”

We cannot determine with certainty the George T. Honaker or J. Honaker referenced, but the only presently-known Dr. George T. Honaker was George Thomas[4], a physician descended from Honaker gunmakers, who lived in California at the time the book was written. There are a number of J. Honaker gunmakers who might have been among those intended above, the most likely of whom would be James A., who made highly regarded mountain rifles but lived in West Virginia, not Pennsylvania.

On 13 Aug 1951, the California Society of the National Society Sons of the American Revolution approved a membership application by George Thomas Honaker, age 74, who stated he was a retired surgeon living at 510 Glenn Dr., San Leandro, Calif. George Thomas claimed lineal descendancy from Matthew French, b. 1734 in Westmorland Co., Va., d. 1814 in Giles Co., Va. French, George Thomas said, served as a private, Montgomery Co., Va. Militia, in 1781 in Capt. Thomas Shannon’s company, Col. William Preston’s regiment, participating in the Battles of Wetzel Mills and Guilford Court House. George Thomas also said that his deceased cousin, Thomas J. [Jesse] Honaker had been a member of the West Virginia Society of Sons of the American Revolution.

An unidentified book on West Virginia gunsmiths reported that Albert was the son of James Benjamin Honaker, and that Albert’s son Denver Abraham had written the author, “My Dad, Albert Honaker, told me they all had to work from daybreak to dark just to survive. He used to spend all day searching the woods for proper and suitable wood for the stocks of his Daddy’s guns. His Dad supposedly worked all the time. He couldn’t remember him not working.”

The main house, where he lived, was his boarding house. He had weekend guests from Charleston, among whom were Governor William MacCorkle, Judges Samuel Burdette and Frank A. Guthrie and Councilman H.L. Wehrle. Around Procious, his closest friends were the Brad White family, especially Howard and Lina, the Boggs family, and the Reeds, to name a few. Granddad named his only son, my father, after Howard E. White, and my father named his youngest son Howard. The name was passed on down to my nephew.

Grandad was married several times, but his only children were by Grandma Martha Jones Cash. Martha came from Roane County, the daughter of Mary Elizabeth Taylor and Abraham P. Jones. Mary later married Isaac Samuel Myers when Martha was three years old. Grandma Martha was married once before Granddad Joe to William Goff. From this marriage came two children, Sophronia and Ida May Goff.

Joe and Martha had three children, Cora Ellen (who passed away at age 17), Golda and my dad, Joseph Howard. Daddy had five children, the only grandchildren of Granddad Joe. Joe passed away in 1932 when my dad was twelve years old.

Daddy met Mommy when the Ratliff family took her in at age eleven. She had run away from home in Fayette County due to abusive foster parents. My parents were married at a very young age. Of their five children, I am the only one surviving.

We enjoyed our childhood at Procious. I loved the stories the older folks would tell me about Granddad Joe, and through the years I have collected a few but have heard there were many more. Thanks to Eloise Boggs for sharing stories she had about him, from her own memory and from publications such as Hickory and Lady Slippers and others.

My childhood memories consist of Granddad’s fruit treets, the homes he built and the beautiful landscaping he had made from the wilderness. My wonderful friends whose memories I have carried throughout my life are Jerri Schoolcraft, Mary Vaughan, Mildred Welch, Shirley Foreman, Lois James and my wonderful teachers at Dulls Creek. Webb White, Mrs. Burnside and Lucille Gillespie. Neighbors I remember fondly are Joe and Freda James, Frank J. Fisher, Mrs. Maston, Eddie Sink, Fred Booker, James Runnions, the Deaners, and Nora Mullins, just to name a few.

We loved walking up the railroad track and across the bridge to Leatha Foreman’s store. Grandma would also take me to Benny Vaughan’s store up at Dulls Creek. When we kids were in school, Grandma never failed to give us a banana flip cake and a Sunkist orange. My memories of Grandma Martha are of her loving ways. She felt blessed having us with Daddy, the only one of her children togive her grandchildren. She taught us how to milk her cow, feed the chickens and how to pluck the chicken for Sunday dinner. We would help her catch the hogs that had rooted their way underneath the fence, when we heard a train coming. She taught us how to cook, can, make soap, boil the white clothes in a wash tub over an open fire and scrub them on a washboard. She taught us how to churn and how to raise a garden.

We loved watching for the passenger train (the Baltimore & Ohio tracks ran past our house). We would go running when we heard it coming because we knew the engineers would throw candies and magazines to us.

I was eight years old when Grandma passed away in 1949. Daddy had been home from the war three years. He picked up where Granddad left off. He got his first job with Evans Lumber, built boats and raised night crawlers. My brother and I would gather moss from fallen trees and keep it in large tubs for the night crawlers. Daddy had a sign across the river which read “Night Crawlers for Sale, $2/100. Customers would holler to us across the river how many they wanted, and we would count them out and take them across the river to them

Daddy was a great fisherman like Granddad, but he didn’t get to spend so much time on the Elk. He got a job with Carbide and Alloy and the long drive took him away from home more. That finally took us all away from the land we loved so much. The homes are all gone now but the memories will forever be with me. I wanted to write these memories to share with others, remembering my grandfather and his life on the Elk.

He left Ashland, W.Va., when I was quite young and moved to Pulaski, Va., where he worked in the Radford “powder plant” [Ammunition Depot.] He was a skilled carpenter and had a house full of items he’d built. He provided a large part of Dad’s [Forrest] upbringing. He told me once that Grandpa Bailey used to bring Dad to his house after the harvest was all in. Dad would be barefoot and practically in rags. Denny would get him cleaned up, clothed, and in school. Come springtime, Grandpa Bailey would come to get Dad and take him back to the farm to help with the planting. This went on for years until Dad became old enough to be on his own. Dad loved Uncle Denny dearly and apparently the feeling was returned. Uncles Denny and Olin came to Ashland every summer to spend their vacations with us. Uncle Denny and Aunt Emmy moved to Roanoke, Va., in their later years and lived with their youngest son, Basil, until their deaths.”

As I grew up, I realized that she was a truly elegant lady but also warm and loving. She and Uncle Fred lived in Montcalm, W.Va. After his death she moved to Florida where she later remarried. The last time I talked to her was in the early 1980s. She then lived in an apartment in Titusville, Fla. I believe she was the last of her generation to pass away.”

Unknown Michigan newspaper, unknown date: Carleton [Mich.]—Forrest E. Bailey, 64, of Treadwell’s Motor Home Park, 11150 Telegraph Rd., Carleton, died Friday in Wyandotte General Hospital of complications of diabetes. Friends may call after 6 tonight at the Arthur Bobcean Funeral Home, Inc., where funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Monday with Lowell Thomas of the Flat Rock congregation of Jehovah’s Witness officiating. Burial will be in [Oak Ridge] Cemetery, Flat Rock. The son of Levi and Edie Bailey, he was born Aug. 19, 1910, in Ashland, W.Va. He married Lillian Hart, Mar. 29, 1930, in Switchback, W.Va. He was employed as a sprayman at the Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn and retired in 1969. He moved his family to Carleton in 1970 from River Rouge and was a member of Local 600, United Auto Workers, and the Jehovah’s Witness congregation of Flat Rock. Surviving are his wife; stepmother, Annie Bailey, of Covington, Va.; four sons, Charles and Donald of River Rouge, Richard of Lincoln Park and James of Carleton; four daughters, Mrs. Mary [Redmond] of Lincoln Park, Mrs. Phyllis [Atwell] of Dearborn Heights, Mrs. Betty Stevens and Mrs. Lillian [Garvin], both of Taylor; three brothers, D.G. Bailey and [Olin] of Roanoke, [Va.], and Blonden of Tampa, Fla.; a half brother, C.F. Bailey of W.Va.; two sisters, Mrs. H.M. Lewis of Tampa, Fla., and Mrs. Harry Hardy of Deland, Fla.; five half sisters, Mrs. Clinton Bailey, Mrs. Lee Ailstock, Mrs. Verla Hart, Mrs. Betty Odell and Miss Frances Bailey; eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mr. Bailey was preceded in death by his parents, a brother and a sister.

He married Lillian Hart, daughter of Charlie Ramon Hart and Donie Emaline Conley, 29 Mar 1930 in Switchback, W.Va. Born 15 May 1914 in Toecane, N.C. Died 5 Jun 1999 in Ecorse, Mich.

In 2002 their daughter Mary Redmond recalled the following:

My father was born in Windmill Gap, W.Va., the youngest of eight children. His mother died

when he was two and he was raised mainly by his older brothers and sisters. He was 6-ft. tall, weighed about 180 lb., and had black hair and gray eyes. Dad’s ancestors moved to southwest Virginia about 1760 from Chesterfield Co., Va., and were the first settlers in Tazewell County, part of which later became Mercer and McDowell Cos., W.Va.

My mother was born in Toecane, N.C. Her birth certificate, signed by Mrs. Martha J. Slagle, midwife, spells her name “Lilion” and says she was born in Bakersville, but Mom always said Toecane. According to my grandmother, Mom was a little thing weighing less than 5-lb. Her parents left Mitchell Co., N.C. when she was six or seven years old and moved to Big Hill, Ky. Then they went to Knoxville, Tenn., and to Clinchco, Va., before settling in Ashland, W.Va. about 1926. Ashland was a coal mining camp in McDowell County, but now, except for a very few scattered houses, it no longer exists.

Mom was a small woman with coal black hair, and her eyes were such a dark brown they looked black. She stood 5-ft. 3-in. tall and usually weighed about 115 lb. She was a very intelligent girl who dreamed of attending Berea College, Ky. Unfortunately, she dropped out of high school in tenth grade because she had to miss so much school she knew she would never graduate. She used to say rather bitterly that she was kept home every Monday to help with the laundry; she was kept home for a week every month when Granny “took to her bed”; and every time there was a new baby she was kept home. Mom was the oldest of ten children. Six survived to adulthood and three are still living.

In addition to being the best cook in the world, which was the opinion of all her children, Mom was a very talented seamstress. I think she could have been a great women’s clothing designer. She could see something she liked, go home and cut her own pattern for it out of a newspaper and make a much better piece of clothing than she had seen in the store, or even a picture in a magazine or newspaper. She also loved to read anything she could get her hands on—it didn’t matter what it was, as long as it was something to read. This was a passion she shared with Dad and all her children.

My parents married in Switchback, W.Va. not long after Dad returned home from serving in the army in Panama for a couple of years. He was 19 and she about six weeks shy of 16. He always said that he fell in love the moment he saw her and knew that he was going to marry her. That love never changed—they still held hands after 44 years together. He always maintained that they never had a fight, and, as far as I know, this was true. Mom would have liked to sometimes, but he wouldn’t. He would go out into the front yard where he knew she wouldn’t follow until she cooled off.

Mom had to be the disciplinarian in the family. Dad had endured a lot of physical and mental abuse by his stepmother as a child and could rarely bring himself to discipline us no matter how much we needed it. I remember getting one spanking from him, and this is because, for some reason, I had tried to hit Mom. It really did hurt him more than it did me.

Dad worked as a cutting machine operator in the coal mine at Ashland until 1953. At that time, the whole family moved to Dearborn, Mich., and he went to work as a spray painter at Ford Motor Co. He never liked working in a factory. He much preferred the coal mine.

Dad was diagnosed as diabetic in 1947. He began losing his sight in the 1960s because of diabetic hemorrhaging behind the eyes and had to take a medical retirement in 1968 at age 58. They sold their home in River Rouge, Mich., and moved into a house trailer in Flat Rock where they lived until he passed away. He died four days after his 64th birthday. Cause of death was uremia caused by total kidney failure as a direct result of diabetes.

Mom continued to live in the house trailer until 1984 when she moved into an apartment in a senior citizens building. That didn’t last very long. She couldn’t stand being with all those “old people.” She bought another trailer and continued to live alone. She valued her independence very much and wouldn’t even think about moving in with any of her children. She bowled in three leagues every week and was about the luckiest Bingo player I’ve ever known. But in 1995 she was hospitalized with cardiac hypertension and was told by her doctors she could no longer live alone. Very much against her wishes, she moved into her son Don’s home where she remained the rest of her life, four years.

She died of cardio-pulmonary arrest. For some reason, she was terrified of being in a dark room with the door shut. I think this is why she insisted on being cremated. We followed her wishes and her ashes were buried next to Dad in Flat Rock.

Mom and Dad had four sons and four daughters over a period of 20 years. As the oldest, I’m 20 years and 20 days older than the youngest, my brother Jim. We joke that Dad left us all a legacy; the daughters are all diabetic and the sons are all pretty well bald or getting there.

His ashes were scattered around the graves of his parents and grandmother in Red Warrior Cemetery, Cabin Creek, W.Va., and a military marker was placed there in his memory.

From 1929 to 1932 he was a truck driver in West Virginia, making store deliveries. He enlisted in the U.S. Army 7 Nov 1938 and served throughout World War II until 18 Oct 1945, becoming a staff sergeant. He was a rifle instructor, anti-tank gun crewman, and heavy weapons specialist. He was non-commissioned officer in charge of an anti-tank platoon, laying minefields, tank traps and roadblocks. His daughter Mary Ann said he had been blown out of a tank and had a hip disability but would not collect his medical pension. He was awarded the American Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal, European, African and Middle Eastern Service Medals, three overseas service bars, and rifle marksman sharpshooter badge. Military records showed him as 5-ft. 11½-in., 184 lb., red hair, blue eyes.

After the war he was a coal miner in West Virginia until a cave-in buried him for three days. He moved to Mesa, Ariz., ca. 1957, working for more than 20 years as a tapper in a steel manufacturing plant.

He married Lucy Ann Horrocks, daughter of Robert Joseph Horrocks and Georgia Anna Doorman, 13 Dec 1945 in Charleston, Kanawha Co., W.Va. They divorced 24 Jul 1962 in Arizona. Born 27 Apr 1923 in Blue Creek, W.Va. Died 6 Nov 2002 in Palatka, Fla. Buried in Palatka Memorial Gardens. She was 5-ft. 2-in., 105 lb., with blue eyes and blonde hair. Her daughter Mary Ann said there wasn’t much that she couldn’t do. She could hunt, fish, garden, play guitar, compose and sing music, and write poetry. She married, first, Bartholomew Perry, a soldier killed in France 12 Jul 1944 during World War II. She brought their son Richard Lee Perry, born 1 May 1943 in Charleston, to her marriage with Emerson. Richard married Brenda Charlene Wilson 13 Nov 1962 in Phoenix, Maricopa Co., Ariz.

A recollection of James was provided by Joan Rose, his granddaughter, in 2007: “I remember one evening after a family get together, Grandpa and Grandma were leaving. We, my sisters and I, had been after him all evening. He had brought his harmonica with him and we wanted to hear him play. Hugs were given all around and Grandpa stepped into the garage. Grandpa pulled out his harmonica and started playing. He was dancing a jig as he was playing. Grandma was smiling so big. It was a wonderful memory.”

A scrapbook, written in ink, was prepared for James and Bessie and presented to them on the occasion of their Golden Wedding Anniversary (10 Jun 1964) [sic]:

Throughout the following pages the story of the Honaker family will be revealed. One can never forget the memories both happy and sad the laughter of the children as they have grown up, and the lasting friendship. Yes, Brother and Sister Honaker this is your life.

[Page 2] Well look here, were in Union, W.Va. at a community social. Why look over there, that looks like Bessie McGuire and a young man looking very wide eyed at her. Well I do believe it’s James Honaker [drawing of two young people.] [Page 3] Now time has passed and look down the road, could that be a horse drawn buggy? But who is in the front sit, well I see they are holding hands or could it be he is asking for her hand in marriage [drawing of young couple in a horse drawn buggy]. [Page 4] On Jun. 10, 1914 a special event. Bessie McGuire, now 15 and her bow Jame Honaker, 18 enter the sacred institutiion of marriage. [Page 5] There is love in the air and days seem short. An a cabin at Lewisbury, W.Va. has become there first home [drawing of one store cabin].

[Page 6] The year was quite a year for the Honakers’ –a year that expanded their corner of the world. And in 1916 they were holding there first child, a daughter: Mary Elizabeth Honaker. They saw her grown, learn and welcome her sister Emma Madeling. On Aug. 30, 1918 the third child, a son, James Ruffas discovered the world. On Apr. 7, 1920 they welcome another sister, Gladys Louise. Minnie Drisal Honaker, their fifth child died in infancy but their memories of heer are ever lasting. Then on Oct. 16, 1923 their second son was named Paul McGuire Honaker.

[Page 7] Their way of life has been influenced by numerous factors, changing times, size of family, depression and war. So the Honaker family has now moved by train from Virginia to Connersville, Ind., on the Potter Farm. With five children and their family still growing they make a new home. [Page 8] Constantly on the go the Honaker family moves from Potters Farm to Hanson Family and then to Brownsville. Their family now includes: Annalee Elna who marries Schlechteg, then later dies a the birth of her son danny. Her memories will be forever with her parents; a son, Quincy John born Mar. 27, 1927; a son, Carl Ezra born Mar. 30, 1929; a daughter, Helen Betty was born Dec. 7, 1931; a son, Raymond Lamont born Apr. 16, 1932; a daughter, Arlene Joyce born May 10, 1934; a daughter Barbara Jean born Apr. 15, 1938; a daughter, Janice Ann born Oct. [number crossed out] 9, 1939; a son, Stanley Golden born Aug. 17, 1942.

[Page 9] “Variety is the spice of Life.” This old proverb has been tested by the Honaker family. With energetic family not a minute must be wasted. [Page 10] Over the years memories are many but one more exciting experience Bessie will recall. The year 1944 as Bessie kneeled at an alter of prayer and excepted Jesus Christ our Lord as her personal Saviour. Her life in Christ was hard at first but as her experience grow deeper, her new life had become easier. Then in 1947, Bessie chosen mate, James Honaker excepted the way as his way. Then hand-in-hand and smiles-a-new-Bessie and Jim Honaker world widen and enabled them to tackle the future.

[Page 11] When tragedy struck the Honaker family in 1964. (The lost of there beloved son Stanley.) The Lord’s Grace was sufficate. Even though they were down hearted there strong faith and trust in God has given them peace of mind. Throughout there past years Bessie and James Honaker dedicated their lives to God. [Page 12] Times has truly changed from 1914. Their mode of living, transportation, Communication and mainly their religious phase of their lives. They work togather and are moving forward. Their family has grown, now with 13 living children, 40 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren. [Photo of James and Bessie with 13 children].

[Page 13] Bessie and James has 55 years of married life behind them. Truly memories must be many and rewarding and yes some said.

A recollection by Donna Mae Stanton, 2004: “Gap Mills’ original name was Moss Hole. Gap Mills had three mills, a Ford dealership and garage. The saw mill was at Rock Azalea in the location of the present Moncove Lake…the road that goes to Moncove Lake’s original name was Devil’s Hollow Road. Bessie McGuire Honaker was born in a house on this road, as well as the rest of the family.”

Over the years, he also preached at Falcons Landing retirement community in Sterling and taught the Bible at the Hermitage retirement community in Alexandria. He was born in Pocahontas, in Southwestern Virginia, and was a Navy veteran of World War II. He then graduated from a business college in Bluefield, W.Va., and was a 1949 finance graduate of the University of Virginia. He received a master’s degree in divinity from Emory University in 1951.

Services were held at Trinity United Methodist Church, McLean, Va., 20 Feb 2007. The program offered a greeting by Trinity associate pastor Rev. Kathleene B. Card; meditation by Trinity pastor Rev. James C. Sprouse; remembrances by Rev. John A. Plummer, Oakton [Va.] United Methodist Church, Rev. Gregory B. West, Grace Harbor United Methodist Church, Suffolk, Va., Al’s spouse Arlin, and his son Richard A. The program offered the following profile of his life:

Albert Newton Honaker, Jr. was born in Pocahontas, Va. on Feb. 25, 1922. His father Albert was a coal miner and his mother Dora was a housewife. Albert attended school in Pocahontas and enlisted in the Navy in 1943 during World War II. He served during the war and then attended the University of Virginia with a major in finance. He married his high school sweetheart Virginia Pearl Fisher when he returned from his Navy service. After college he attended seminary at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. He received his divinity degree in May 1951. He joined the Virginia Methodist Conference and his first church assignment was in Batesville, Va. near Charlottesville. He served churches throughout Virginia during his career as a Methodist minister. He retired in 1992.

In 1971 his beloved wife Pearl died after a 3½-year battle with breast cancer. He and Pearl had four children. Charles David was born in August 1949, Richard Albert was born in April 1951, Robert Jackson was born in July 1955 and Ruth Marie was born in 1961. He had three grandchildren, Michele (Richard) and Delany (Richard) and Kim (Theu and his son-in-law Doug Weinberg.) After Pearl’s death, Albert continued to preach and take care of his children. He met Arlin Gearhart and married her in January of 1975. A fifth child, Theu Mai was adopted in 1978. She came to this country from Vietnam during the war and became friends with Ruth and was adopted by the family. Al & Arlin’s beautiful marriage was a source of joy and peace until he died on Feb. 16, 2007. He died of heart disease and most of his family was with him to comfort him in his passing.

During his fine career he served churches in Batesville, Arlington, Springfield, Roanoke, Hampton, McLean, Woodbridge, Alexandria and Vienna. He was instrumental in the formation of the National Capital Area Walk to Emmaus—and served on many teams, as well as Chrysalis and Kairos. After his retirement he continued to preach at Falcon’s Landing, the Hermitage and various other quest preaching engagements. He was active in Bible study. He also led many tours to the Holy Land and other destinations worldwide.

Reverend Honaker was known and loved for his dedication to his Christian mission, his eloquent style of preaching, his personal commitment to his congregation and his wonderful example as a spouse, father and

grandfather. The legacy he left was one of love, dignity, Christian stewardship, devotion to his Lord and his family.

Al graduated from Pocahontas [Va.] High School in 1941, and from West Virginia Business College, Bluefield, W.Va., in May 1942. He became an accountant at Pocahontas Fuel Company until 30 Nov 1942 when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md.; Norfolk Naval Air Base, Va.; Camp Edwards, Mass.; and aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway. After the war he was aboard the USS Midway in the Labrador Sea off Canada on a mission to determine the feasibility of launching aircraft in frigid waters. In 1946 he left the Navy to care for his father and to work again at Pocahontas Fuel Company.

In Sep 1946, after his marriage to Pearl Fisher, he enrolled at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. He took a B.S. in Jun 1949. While attending the university, Al received the call to preach, and began serving the Woodridge Methodist Circuit. Two of the circuit's churches were 15 miles east of Charlottesville and another was 15 miles northwest, so he and Pearl traveled together in different directions on alternate Sundays.

In the Fall of 1949 he enrolled in Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. While there, he served the Dacula Methodist Charge, five churches 40 miles east of Atlanta. Following graduation in 1952 he returned to the Virginia Methodist Annual Conference and was appointed to a three-church charge at Batesville, Va., 15 miles southwest of Charlottesville, until 1956. He then served Arlington [Va.] United Methodist Church from 1956-57; St. John's United Methodist Church, Springfield, Va., from 1957-65; Huntington Court United Methodist Church, Roanoke, Va., 1965-67; Central United Methodist Church, Hampton, Va., 1967-68; Trinity United Methodist Church, McLean, Va., 1968-72; Calvary United Methodist Church, Alexandria, Va., 1972-74; St. Paul United Methodist Church, Woodbridge, Va., 1974-78; Lincolnia United Methodist Church, Alexandria, Va., 1978-83; Central United Methodist Church, Arlington, Va., 1983-86; and Epiphany United Methodist Church, Vienna, Va., 1986-1992.

He was ordained a deacon in 1950 and an elder in 1951 in the Virginia conference of the United Methodist Church. During his ministry he performed more than 600 marriages, built four educational units and a parsonage, planning two church buildings and an educational wing which were constructed by succeeding ministers, developing St. Johns UMC from 104 persons to 1,600, and other achievements. He was a member of interdenominational ministers' groups and district Methodist minister groups, and served as president of Charlottesville [Va.] District Methodist Ministers and the Virginia Council of Churches, Richmond. He is a member of Emmaus groups and KAIROS prison ministry.

He retired 30 Jun 1992 in Arlington, Va. In retirement, he devoted himself to personal interests including international travel. A tour director, he led groups to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Russia, China, Europe, India, Africa, Alaska, Greece, and other destinations. His tours visited the Holy Land 13 times.

During high school, Al played football. His later hobbies were reading, writing, preaching, teaching Bible classes, and automotive repair. A story about and photograph of him appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Winter 1993. He last lived in Arlington, Va., with his wife Arlin.

He married, first, Virginia Pearl Fisher (called Pearl), daughter of the Rev. Charles MacPherson Fisher (called Charlie) and Effie Virginia Jackson (called Effie), 10 Sep 1946 in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The Bulletin of East Tennessee State University, 1976-77, identified him as a professor and Dean of the College of Education, B.A., Maryville College, 1941; M.A., University of Northern Colorado, 1947; and Ed.D., University of Tennessee, 1953; he joined the faculty in 1954.

Accession No. 318 of the Archives of Appalachia, East Tennessee State, the Edith Keys Papers (1950-1981), contains a file on him [Honaker, Dr. Scott L.: 1-4], but the file has only a copy of his retirement luncheon program, no information about him.

East Tennessee State University Today, Sep 1980 (accompanied by a photograph of him with this cutline—Dr. L. Scott Honaker discusses the wing of the Warf-Pickel Hall that was eliminated before its construction.) Dean Honaker Reminisces

Retirement might eliminate the daily office routine for Dr. L. Scott Honaker, dean of the College of Education, but it certainly won’t stop his work with higher education. Honaker, who retired June 30 after almost 27 years with ETSU, has been a member of Appalachia Educational Laboratory since 1965, when it was established. His educational roots go back a long way to when his father was athletic director at Maryville College for 39 years. After a year of prep school at Baylor in Chattanooga, Dr. Honaker received his M.A. from Colorado State College of Education (now Northern Colorado.)

With an Ed.D. from the University of Tennessee, he set out to teach four years of health and physical education at Henderson State Teacher’s College in Arkansas, and served as assistant football coach, as well as head coach for basketball, tennis and track. He also worked three different years part-time in football and basketball at Maryville College and taught one year at UT before coming to ETSU in 1954 as an associate professor of P.E.

“President Emeritus Burgin E. Dossett asked me to start a graduate program in health and P.E.,” Dr. Honaker said. “We started as a graduate minor and when Dr. Sidney Rice came as chairman, we made it into a major area. I coached tennis until 1961, and from 1954-59 I was assistant basketball coach with Madison Brooks, coached the freshman basketball team and taught a full P.E. load.”

The Warf-Pickel Building hat houses the College of Education was the first facility to hold the total teacher education program. “Prior to this building, the department was scattered all over campus,” Dr. Honaker said. “And when it was built for approximately $1.9 million, the state eliminated a right wing that was to hold a library service center, a reading clinic, a two-floor teaching auditorium with a platform and all electrical and audiovisual aids, in addition to a human performance lab for psychology. “If we were to add it today, it would cost about $2 million just for that one wing.”

Dr. Honaker has seen the university grow from an enrollment of 1,800 students in 1954 to over 10,000 today. In his opinion, “One sign of development in institutional growth was the creation in 1955-56 of internal organization that recognized what we call ‘schools,’ which were the forerunners of the present ‘colleges.’ ” Dr. Honaker is the only dean the College of Education has ever had.

“Campus Briefs,” East Tennessee State University Today, Spring/Summer 1991: Out of Tragedy…Hope

From the tragedy of their untimely deaths, the lives of five members of the ETSU community have gained special meaning with the establishment of scholarships in their memory. …..Friends and family of ETSU’s former Dean of Education Dr. [L. Scott] Honaker established a scholarship award in his honor which will provide a full semester’s fees for one education graduate student. Honaker served as dean from 1963-80. …..

A newspaper story about Gene, by Theresa L. Herron, staff writer for the Community Journal, Loveland, Ohio, appeared in a 10 Feb 1999 newspaper insert. The following story, based on her article, appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Spring 1999, and was accompanied by a photograph: Eugene T. Honaker—Citizen of Year.

Abraham descendant Eugene T. Honaker has been named Amelia, Ohio Citizen of the Year for 1998. Gene is a son of Heber and Rose M. (Day) Honaker, who lived in Amelia, and brother of the Rev. H. Ellis Honaker of Riverside, Calif. An article about Ellis appeared in the Summer 1994 newsletter.

Announcement of Gene’s award came in a proclamation by Amelia Mayor James C. Pemberton, 21 Dec 1998, presented on behalf of city council. The civic award is given to one person annually who’s given abundant time to worthwhile community causes, participated continuously in community projects, and been an exemplary example to fellow citizens. Gene was nominated for the award by the Amelia Recreation Commission, which recognized that his achievements excelled those of all other town residents.

Mayor Pemberton’s proclamation recognized Gene for fine carpentry work in the interior and exterior of the Amelia Municipal Building, ready availability when needed by the town, exemplary church and moral commitment, visits to nursing homes, and by his membership on the first Clermont Co., Ohio, building code committee. The mayor concluded that the community owed Gene a debt of gratitude which it might never be possible to repay.

The proclamation was followed by a special award by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio. Signed by President of the Ohio Senate Richard H. Finan and 14th District Sen. Doug White, it honored Gene in direct, powerful language:

You are, indeed, a remarkable individual, combining civic concern and dedication with selfless initiative to become a dynamic leader in the Amelia area, and this prestigious honor is a fitting tribute to you in recognition of the outstanding efforts which you have displayed in both your community and church. You are an exceptional local carpenter, and by your generosity and devotion to service, you have certainly distinguished yourself as a conscientious and hard-working Ohioan.

Willingly giving of your time, energy, and abilities, you have worked diligently to better the world around you, and through your selfless contributions, you have earned the respect and esteem of the entire community. We are certain that, in the years to come, you will continue to display the same unwavering commitment to excellence for which you have been recently honored, and you are truly deserving of high praise. Thus, with sincere pleasure, we commend you as Citizen of the Year and extend best wishes for ongoing success.

A newspaper story about Gene appeared in the Loveland, Ohio Community Journal, 10 Feb 1999. Reporter Theresa L. Herron cited details of his achievements. A village committee member told her that Gene’s work is everywhere in the municipal building.

“He’s Johnny-on-the-spot and he does it with a smile. I’ve never seen him without a smile and in a good mood.”

“He’s supposed to be retired,” the committeewoman continued. “He’s a very pleasant man.”

“They ask me to do things and I like to do them,” replied Gene, who’s been a carpenter for 60 of his 81 years, and presently helps his son Bill in the family business, Model Builders.

Gene was born in Jarrods Valley, W.Va., but relocated with his parents to Clermont Co., Ohio in 1935 during the depression, because his father was looking for better work. (Gene built a detailed birdhouse for a daughter in the shape of the home where he was born in West Virginia.)

Gene and his wife Hazel live on a parcel of land once owned by his Grandfather J.K. Day. Gene and Hazel raised five children, but only Bill has remained in the area. They have 15 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. The family plans to get together in August to celebrate Gene’s and Hazel’s 60th wedding anniversary. “We’ve had a good life,” Gene said.

The newspaper story about Gene noted that he’s continued the family tradition of building that began in Switzerland in the early 1700s, referring to our immigrant ancestor Hans Jacob Honaker, who was a carpenter near Zurich before sailing to Philadelphia in 1749. In addition to his work for the town, Gene is just as active at home, with gardening and cutting firewood. Hazel said that he was always building something.

“I stay young doing that,” Gene said with his customary smile.

A photograph of Gene and Hazel, commemorating their 60th wedding anniversary, appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, July 1999. The family planned to gather 8 Aug 1999 to celebrate the event, which was 6 May 1999.

(Charleston [W.Va.] Daily Mail, 25 Mar 1987: Spellers Honing Skills for Regional Contest, by James McIntyre

They’re getting ready for the big show. Like a boxer sparring in preparation for a big fight, or a dancer stepping up practice sessions before a major performance, county spelling bee winners are honing their skills and poring over word lists to get ready for the Charleston Daily Mail Regional Spelling Bee next month. Winners and runners-up from 14 counties now have earned their seats at the regional bee, which will be held April 4 at the Capitol Plaza Theater in Charleston.

The regional bee, featuring two spellers each from 16 counties, is sponsored by the Charleston Daily Mail and the Kanawha County Schools Office of Community Education. The winner of the regional bee will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Washington, D.C., for the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee May 20-24.

That’s the top of the spelling heap, where regional winners will try to land the title of National Champion. The winner of the regional bee also will go home with a 9-inch Zenith television set, donated by Zenith Corp. and Eskew, Smith and Cannon, a Charleston Zenith distributor. The regional runner-up will receive a 32-volume edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, courtesy of the Encyclopaedia Brittannica, Inc. The third-place speller in the regional bee will win a copy of the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, courtesy of Random House.

The county winners and runners-up are one step closer to the goal after the recent spate of bees that almost completes the regional field. But it’s not all work and no play for these young whizzes. The leisure activities of the spellers are as varied as the words they have to spell, as a look at the winners and runners-up from the latest five bees will show. …..

The winner of the Raleigh County bee, Meredith Gordon, likes to dance in her spare time. Meredith correctly spelled “militancy” to come out in front of 18 spellers in the 30-minute bee. Meredith, a 14-year-old eighth-grader at Park Junior High School in Beckley, is the daughter of Conley and Beverly Gordon of Beckley. She enjoys typing class and playing in the band and wants to become a pharmacist. She defeated another sports fanatic, runner-up Johnny Honaker, who stumbled on “lushburg.” Johnny, 14, is an eighth-grader at Clear Fork High School in Colcord. He’s the son of Johnny and Sandra Honaker of Colcord, and enjoys football, baseball and basketball. His favorite class is shop and he wants to become a pilot. ….. But leisure activities will take a backseat as county spelling champs prepare for the regional bee. It’s almost time.

Register-Herald, Beckley, W.Va., 13 Jul 2000, reprinted in Honaker Family Newsletter, Jul-Aug 2001, accompanied by a photograph by M.D. Morgan, cutline Help pours in: Dewey Honaker sits with just some of the toys and clothing he is giving away to needy families at the old Mount View High School outside of Arnett.

Arnett man wants to help needy—Gym of old school filled with many donated items, by Annette Z. Fox

A vision and prayers led Ohio missionaries to the small town of Arnett. And they didn’t depart without leaving something behind—enough to practically fill the entire gymnasium at the old Mount View High School on Route 3. The old school is now the home of Dewey Honaker, who calls it a castle. He has opened his doors to the young and offered them alternatives for amusement, such as games and other activities.

Honaker began going to church and, after having a vision to help residents of Arnett and surrounding areas, he began to pray. Those prayers resulted in a visit and now he has plenty to share with everyone. The Mansfield, Ohio, missionaries thought the Appalachian area could use some help, he said.

“I would just like to get everybody involved in it and there’s plenty for people,” Honaker said Wednesday. “There’s a need there and I’d just like for people to know that.”

While many of the residents around Arnett have picked up items they need, there is still more to go around, including clothing which include sizes from toddlers to 5X for both men and women. Other items consist of “all types of books,” appliances, furniture, bedding and household items.

“You name it, we’ve got it,” said Honaker, a member of the Arnett Assembly of God, which is sponsoring the mission. “I would like for some people who don’t have stuff to get it,” he commented. “Plus, I have one room that’s nothing but toys for children. You just don’t know what a good feeling it is to see kids go in there and come out with a toy. They’re so happy, especially when they don’t have any.”

When asked why he thinks things worked out the way they did, Honaker says, “God put us all together. That’s all I can tell you. I just prayed for it and He send them down here to me.”

Honaker urges anyone who may be in need—regardless of race or religion—to stop by and pick up items they may need. “I know there’s things they need and we’ve got it,” he said.

The missionaries are scheduled to visit Arnett again sometime in October, possibly with more items to donate. “It’s almost unbelievable because that’s a big gym and it’s almost completely full,” he said.

The items may be picked up Tuesday through Thursday from 1 to 5 p.m. However, if the case is an emergency, Honaker can be reached at other times at 854-1188.

Roanoke Times, 2 Apr 1999, accompanied by photograph, reprinted in Honaker Family Newsletter, May 1999: Jack Carden dies at 96. He was well-known in the Radford-Pulaski County area as a gospel singer on WRAD-AM for 40 years. By Ralph Berrier, Jr. THE ROANOKE TIMES.

Jack Carden did so much in his lifetime—sang on the radio, cut hair, mined coal and built boats—97 years was barely able to contain it all. A legend in the tiny Pulaski County community of Belspring whose boat-building exploits last year were the subject of a Roanoke Times story “The Boat That Jack Built,” Carden died Thursday morning at Carilion New River Valley Medical Center in Radford. He died after a short stay at a Radford nursing home—just six months after the death of his wife of 71 years, Georgia.

Carden was born Sept. 3, 1901, in Parrott, near the New River. He lived his entire life on the river, fishing it and boating on it in his homemade wooden skiffs. Health problems almost forced him to stop fishing for catfish—doctors told him he couldn't fish unless someone was in the boat with him—but he rallied to spend one more memorable summer on the New River.

Last spring, he told friends he was going to build a new boat to replace the old, worn-out water-logged boat he had used for several years. Working mostly alone except for the help of friends Kay and Gary Doyle, Carden finished the boat in about a week and was soon back on the river.

Carden was well-known in the Radford-Pulaski County area as a gospel singer who had a regular show on WRAD-AM for 40 years. His first job had been as a coal miner in the old mines near McCoy, but he left the mines in the 1920s and worked as a barber. Though he retired from barbering several years ago, he still had one regular customer as recently as last year. Cardoon is survived by daughters Juanita Nolen of Christiansburg and Geneva Akers of Belspring, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Saver-Sanders & Mullins Funeral Home in Radford. Burial will follow in Highland Memory Gardens in Dublin. Ralph Berrier Jr. can be reached at 981-3338 or ralphb@.

At the time of his death, Jack was living at Wheatland Hills Nursing Home, Pulaski Co., Va., where he was undergoing physical therapy after a broken hip.

A major three-part series about Jack, illustrated with beautiful color photos, appeared in The Roanoke [Va.] Times, 13 Sep 1998, 15 Sep 1998 and 21 Dec 1998. It was serialized in Honaker Family Newsletter, beginning with the Spring 1999 issue.

A photograph with cutline and caption also appeared about him in The Floyd [Va.] Press in Sep 1998. Cutline: Jack Carden plays his guitar during the 11:00 morning service at Willis Baptist. Caption: Carden Preaches at 97.

Jack Carden has worn a lot of hats during his 97 years. Last month he came to Willis Baptist Church to sing and preach. According to one church member, the message centered around service, Carden encouraging the people to serve the Lord at a young age. A retired barber, Carden worked in the coal mines in younger years. For over 43 years, he played his guitar and sang gospel music in a radio program in Radford and Pulaski. Carden resides in Pulaski County.

He married Georgia Hess. Born 17 Aug 1907 in Pulaski Co., Va. Died 8 Aug 1998 in Radford, Va. Buried in Highland Memory Gardens, Dublin, Va.

242. Ruth Thelma[5] Honaker (called Thelma) (George Washington Lee[4], Andrew Jackson[3], Henry[2], Abraham[1]). See photograph. Born 22 Nov 1902 on Ashland Mountain, McDowell Co., W.Va. Died 9 Jul 1990 in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio. She and her third husband opened and operated a beauty shop until 1968 when it closed because he was ill. After his death she reopened it and the business continued until 1980 when she donated all her equipment to the Akron Senior Citizens Center. During her years as a cosmetologist she won many awards. She was active in charity works and often set aside one day a week to work for patrons unable to pay. Her retirement years were spent enjoying her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She married, first, James Ellsworth George, son of Sarah Ann McCauley, 1 Dec 1916 in Cumberland Co., Md. They divorced 1921 in Akron. Born 27 Feb 1890 in Barbour Co., W.Va. Died 22 Oct 1975 in Barbour County.

In 2015, Thelma’s granddaughter Judi Spencer provided fascinating insight into how James gained his surname. He was the son of Sarah Ann McCauley, born 23 Mar 1850, died 3 Mar 1944. She first married George Anderson and had three children in that marriage; he died in 1865. She married, second, John R. George, born 1 Mar 1840, died 19 Dec 1881, a Civil War veteran whose battle injuries resulted in his death. Sarah and John married 3 Dec 1875 and had one son, Ephriam. Now bear in mind that James Ellsworth George, Thelma’s husband, was not born until 27 Feb 1890, nine years after his “father” had died. Alas, here enters bureaucracy which is ever challenging and in this case resistant to the facts of the matter. Family legend is that when James was born, his mother tried to register him as McCauley, but since she was the widow George, it couldn’t be permitted. Thus resulted the surname George.

James married, first, Icie Pearl Foster 20 Apr 1910. They divorced 1916. In that marriage there were two children, Arah Augustine George, born 1912, died 2001; and Ernest Taylor George, born 1913, died 1976. James married, third, Margaret Fitzwater (called Maggie), 1922. They had eight children. Children (of Thelma and James):

i. Unknown daughter[6]. Died at birth 1918.

417. ii. William Franklin. Born 7 Feb 1920 in Akron.

She married, second, Clarence Lavern Peters, son of August Peters and Lavesta (also VestaMae) Rearick, 21 Jan 1921. They divorced 1925. Born 28 Nov 1888 in Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio. Died 22 Oct 1962 in Erie Co., Ohio. Buried in Arlington [Va.] National Cemetery. He was a World War I veteran. He married, second, Cloa B. Mottice Newhouse 27 Mar 1926 in Akron. He married, third, Rhea Clinton 8 Jul 1930. Children (of Thelma and Clarence):

242. iii. Lee Roy (called Pete). Born 3 Jul 1922 in Akron.

She married, third, Earl Sherman Elzey, son of Sidney C. Elzey and Ida Janetta Hubbell, 15 Sep 1931. Born 17 Jul 1889 in Delaware, Ohio. Died 21 May 1970 in Akron. They had no children.

In 2007 Pete wrote:

I was born three hollows south of Hamlin, Lincoln Co., W.Va. and then up Big Laurel branch, with no road for another mile. Our mailing address was Hager, W.Va. We lived there for six years, at which time we moved to Mud River and then after another four years to Nine Mile, where our mailing address was Midkiff, W.Va., still in Lincoln County. I attended Midkiff Elementary School and graduated second in my class from Guyan Valley High School, Branchland, Lincoln County.

I enlisted in the army Mar. 29, 1943 and received my diploma while I was in basic training at Ft. Knox, Ky. After basic, I was sent, against my will, to dental tech school at Lawson General Hospital, Atlanta, Ga. Upon completion, I was shipped back to Ft. Knox to realize that my outfit was in Europe. Are you ready for some humor? I was awakened at 3 a.m. and told that I was in charge of the mess [dining hall]. After a week of almost poisoning the battalion, another Honaker, a cook from Honaker, Va., arrived, and I was relieved of the experience of my life.

I ended up in Co. A, 1st Bn., 79th Infantry Div. I spent my first few months in Europe escorting prisoners of war from camps to seaports for transfer to the U.S. I was in combat in France, Belgium and Germany.

I received my mustering out papers Mar. 31, 1946. There is much more about my army life, but I think I’ve said enough. The only thing I have to show for my military experience is a bad back. I also qualified for the World War II Victory Medal, European Theatre of Operations Medal, Combat Infantry badge, and was an expert marksman on different caliber machine guns.

I received a B.S. in Math and Earth Science from Marshall College (now University), Huntington, W.Va., in 1950; and subsequently did graduate work at Miami (Ohio) University and Wilberforce (Ohio) College. I completed a master’s level program in mathematics and earth science at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1961.

After graduating from Marshall in 1950, I taught mathematics back at Guyan Valley High School, from which I had graduated. In 1955, we moved to Cedarville, Ohio, where I taught mathematics at Cedarville High School. In 1961, we moved to Springfield, Ohio, where I taught mathematics at the secondary level until retirement in 1980.

Teaching left my summers free for other employment. Over the years I worked for S.A. Healy Construction Co. out of Chicago and White Plains, N.Y. I drove an engineering truck at the Riverdale Dam, Riverdale, N.D.; was a tunnel mechanic on construction of the underground capitol at Blue Ridge Summit, Pa.; and supervised earth dumping at construction of The Dalles Dam, The Dalles, Ore.

I was initiated and inducted into Gamma Theta Upsilon, Beta Nu Chapter, in 1955. Over the years Betty and I have done a lot of camping, first in tents and then in motorhomes up to 27-feet. Now we’re members of Southgate Baptist Church in Springfield. I belong to Scottish Rite in Dayton, Ohio, and Clark Lodge 101 in Springfield, and the Disabled American Veterans. Betty and I are members of Home City Chapt. 258, Ohio Eastern Star, and received our 25-year pins in 2000. In 2005 I was flown on an honor flight from Dayton, Ohio to Washington, D.C., with a group of World War II veterans to see the dedication of the World War II Memorial.

She attended Midland public schools until her junior year, when her parents moved to Portsmouth, Va. There she had a part-time job and graduated from Alexander Park High School in 1946.

In 2006, she wrote, “After we got married we just loafed until Marshall opened for fall classes. My mother died just after Pete graduated and we took my two younger brothers to raise. I stayed at home and tried to be a sister, mother and wife, taking some extension courses given by Morris Harvey College, Charleston, W.Va. Upon moving to Ohio, I enrolled for night classes at Central State College, Wilberforce, Ohio, and later transferred to Wright State University, Fairborn, Ohio. I became a secretary for Springfield Community Schools for three years. Later I was an elementary school librarian in Springfield until Pete retired. Then we began traveling around the U.S. and Canada.”

Charleston [W.Va.] Gazette, 7 Aug 2014: Everett L. McComas, 93, of Marmet, passed away Tue., Aug. 5, 2014, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Matoaka on March 1, 1921, to the late Millard F. McComas and Pansy Kester McComas. He attended schools in the Matoaka area and took special welding classes at Beckley College at the beginning of World War II. As a result of the classes he got a job building Liberty ships at the Fairfield Shipyard in Baltimore, Md. He was instrumental in the construction of the S.S. John W. Brown, which is now a museum based in Baltimore. When the Brown was in the Cleveland, Ohio, area for repairs, Everett got a personal tour of the ship and he, his son and grandson took a cruise on Lake Erie on the ship. After several deferments, Everett joined the U.S. Navy and served as a gunner on troop transports during the rest of WWII. During his stint in the Navy he traveled around the world once, across the Atlantic five times and was in 17 countries. On one crossing of the Atlantic he was in a convoy of 120 ships which covered 20 square miles. At the time it was the biggest convoy to cross the Atlantic. Everett was part of a group of veterans in the 2000s, through the “Honor Flight Program,” that flew veterans to Washington, D.C., to tour all of the war monuments and met several U.S. senators. After WWII, Everett worked for several coal mining companies and finally joined the Kroger Company as a mechanic. Everett was a member of the Teamsters union and served as a union steward. He retired from Kroger in 1984 and became a neighborhood “fix-it man.” Everett loved to travel with his family and together they traveled to Canada, Mexico, Nova Scotia and all of the states except Alaska. Everett was a member and deacon at Marmet First Baptist Church. He was a dedicated member who spent hours updating and maintaining the church. He was also known for his many parts in the Bible school plays. He was preceded in death by his parents; stepmother, Verda Mills McComas; two brothers, Emmett and Earl; four sisters, Murriel McPherson, Omega Danielson, Iva Harmon and Verlie Midkiff; and son-in-law, Richard Belt. Everett is survived by his loving wife of 72 years, Wilda Bennett McComas; daughter, Rondell Belt of North Ridgeville, Ohio; son and daughter-in-law, Roger Todd and Becky McComas of Pratt; granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Rae Dawn and David Hadinger of Burbank, Calif.; grandson, Ryan Belt of North Ridgeville, Ohio; three great-grandchildren, Henry Hadinger, Reagan and Alyssa Belt; and numerous nieces and nephews. A tribute to Everett’s life will be held at noon, Sat., Aug. 9, at the First Baptist Church of Marmet with the Rev. Tom Burnside officiating. Interment will follow in the Vest Family Cemetery on Mount View Road, Jumping Branch. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the funeral home and one hour prior to the service at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Marmet First Baptist Church, 8716 MacCorkle Ave., S.E., Marmet, WV 25315. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting . Harding Funerals & Cremations, 514 50th St., S.E., Kanawha City, is serving the McComas family.

Everett’s father Millard worked as a coal miner and had Everett quit school at the end of 9th grade to run the family farm. On 11 May 1942 Everett took a Certificate of Welding in Electric Welding from the Welding School of Beckley [W.Va.] College, to obtain work at the ship yards in Baltimore, Md. Because of this war-essential work he was deferred three or four times from service in the U.S. Navy. His first coal mining job was as a pony boy, hitching and unhitching ponies from coal wagons as they went into and out of the mines. Before Everett enlisted in the U.S. Navy, he worked in the shipyards as a master welder, building Liberty Ship hulls in Baltimore, Md. One of the two remaining Liberty Ships was the John W. Brown, which he worked on, which in 2012 was a Baltimore museum. When the museum learned that Everett had helped build it, they invited the family to tour it, and invited him to take a cruise on it.

Everett’s employment chronology: Bluejay Coal Company, punch mine owned by private Flowie Lynch, 1930, followed by employment at privately owned Oakes Coal Company, also punch mining. Springton Kingston Pocahontas Coal Co., late 1939. Whitby Coal Co., 1940 or 1941. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards, Baltimore, Md., 1942 to Oct 1943. Enlisted in the U.S. Navy Oct 1943, trained at Great Lakes Naval Training Station north of Chicago, then completed gunnery school at Gulfport, Miss., home ported at Naval Armed Guard Center, New Orleans, La. Posted for one year aboard the Edgar E Clark liberty ship built as a tank carrier. Transferred to Armed Guard Center in San Francisco as home base. Again assigned to the Edgar E. Clark which was converted to an aircraft carrier without flight deck, loaded with aircraft and sailed to India, returning via the Mediterranean and into New York. Then was assigned to the George W. McCrary, a liberty ship based in Brooklyn, and following that to the Mariposa, a troop transport, where he was posted for the rest of the war. Mustered out of the Navy in Nov 1946 and took a job with Lillybrook Coal Company, but left because of back problems. Then drove for Russell Bear Trucking Co., after which he worked as a mechanic and welder for Piper Corp., which strip mined in Killarny, Mt. Hope, Cabin Creek, Stephenson and Summersville. He became a mechanic for Kroger Co., the national grocery chain, in 1957, from which he retired in 1984. In sum, Everett sailed around the world once; transited the Atlantic round trip five times; and visited England, Italy, France, Sicily, North Africa, Mexico, Panama, Salvador, Canada, Egypt, Arabia, India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Brazil, Guatemala and Cuba.

His service aboard the liberty ships was at a momentous and crucial time for America. Following is a description of the voyages he participated in:

Edgar E. Clark Liberty Ship—Caught it out of Panama City, Fla. It was specially constructed to carry tanks. Everett went around the world on this ship. Left Panama City and proceeded to Guatemala and Salvador to pick up soybeans and raw rubber. Proceeded to San Francisco and unloaded rubber and beans. Proceeded to Long Beach and picked up aircraft to take to India. Enroute stopped in Australia to take on fuel and water. Unloaded the aircraft in Calcutta. Loaded trucks and bombs and went around to the other side of India and unloaded them. (Rondell was born while I was in Long Beach; I was not given leave to go home.) Sailed to Sri Lanka and received orders to go to the Normandy invasion. Went through the Suez Canal. In the Indian Ocean the ship ran into a sandstorm for six days and nights, making no headway, preventing arrival at Normandy. We were not prepared for the storm and wrapped towels around our faces and work glasses. We

He married Wilda May Bennett, one of 11 children of Oliver Serenious Bennett and Caldonia Mae Vest (called Callie). Wilda grew up in Jumping Branch, Summers Co., W.Va. Born 9 Apr 1921 at her family farm in Jumping Branch. Her father owned a lumber mill and Wilda drove his lumber trucks.

Their daughter Rondell said that Everett and Wilda met at a square dance and dated on and off for two years. They finally eloped because her father did not want her to marry. Her mother had died and her father had Parkinson’s Disease. Wilda quit school to care for him. At the time Everett and Wilda married, Everett had a war-essential job at the Baltimore shipyards and could not get time off. He found a doctor who gave him a sick slip so he could take a sick day to get married. He and Wilda went to Gallipolis, Gallia Co., Ohio, with her brother Roscoe, and married there 17 Oct 1942. Her sister moved in to care for their father and Everett and Wilda went back to Baltimore to live until Everett joined the Navy. By that time her mother was expecting their daughter Rondell and returned to her family farm in Jumping Branch to live. Rondell lived there until she was two.

When the war was over, Everett and Wilda bought a farm in Cherry Creek, close to his dad’s farm. Millard gave them a cow and gave Rondell a black angus to raise. When it was sold, it started her college fund. When she was six, the family moved to Marmet, just outside Charleston, Kanawha Co., W.Va., where they still lived in 2012. They were members of Marmet First Baptist Church; Everett was a deacon and for years was on the church maintenance committee. He was a union representative for Kroger’s. After retirement he became the neighborhood fix-it man, as well as maintenance man for the rental property that Rondell’s husband Rick inherited from his parents. “Dad,” she said, “just seems to know how to do and fix everything from cars to electrical and plumbing. He also loves to garden and has tomatoes and peppers growing along the garage wall. He evern grew potatoes in car tires.

“Mom has served on every committee possible at church and started a church library. She worked at Keifer’s Dry Goods and for Bill Reese Realty. Mom is an exceptional seamstress. She can look at something, create her own pattern and make it. She made all of the scarves, etc., for the church. She loves to work in the yard and plant flowers. She was outside doing just that this past week [16– 20 Apr 2012].”

Honaker Family Newsletter, Summer 1994 (with photograph): Meet the Honaker Preachers—Rev. H. Ellis Honaker—Evangelical Pastor, Ret.

I was born Sept. 20, 1912 in Jarrolds Valley, W.Va., descended from Hans Jacob via Abraham, James Abraham, Andrew Abraham, and Heber Honaker. Andrew Jackson Honaker, the Confederate soldier pictured in the Winter 1993 Honaker newsletter, was the cousin of my grandfather, A.A. Honaker.

I was saved as a teen and dedicated my life to the Lord at the age of 35. On Dec. 27, 1936, I was married to Grayce Lytle. We first served at the Galilean Children’s Home in Kentucky. After the Lord called me to preach, I attended Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music, graduating in 1952. We then returned to Kentucky, where we taught Bible in public schools and worked in a Bible camp.

After I was ordained in March 1953, the Lord led us into a ministry of church planting in 1954. Starting with a group of ten people, I organized a church near Cincinnati, Ohio, then later organized two churches in the state of Washington, and was the first pastor of Calvary Bible Church in Flagstaff, Ariz.

In 1974, retiring from the pastorate, we joined United Indian Missions and worked at Broken Arrow Bible Ranch at Vanderwagen, N.M. There we were involved in maintenance, building and other activities which contributed to the Gospel outreach of the camp to Indian youth. While there, I was interim pastor for Navajo Bible Church at Fort Defiance, Ariz., for one year.

Since retiring in May 1985, we have lived in Riverside, Calif. I have served as pastor of visitation for our local church and supplied for pastorates in southern California. At the age of 81, I am chaplain of two nursing facilities, hold Bible classes and do room visitation each week.

Others active in ministry are two nephews, Rev. Robin E. Honaker and Paul S. Honaker. Robin is pastor to Navajos near Gallup, N.M., and Paul is Minister of Music at Bon Air Baptist Church in Richmond, Va. A

niece, Gloria Honaker Fisher, is wife of Dr. David Fisher, pastor of the Park Street Church in Boston, Mass.

Joyce (Treadway) Chiras wrote a few things about her parents and family that she and her sisters Annabel and Estelle remembered. The recollections appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Nov-Dec 1999, together with a photograph of the family taken in Aug 1971 in her parents' back yard at Maxwell Hill (now incorporated into Beckley), W.Va., commemorating her parents' 50th wedding anniversary several months before:

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, we lived in the New River Coal Co. camp at Skelton, W.Va. We

lived beside a neighbor family, the Kavitskys, Hungarian immigrants who hardly spoke English. They had two children, a girl, Leona, and a boy, John. They were a very loving family, creative with wood and other things. At Christmas, everyone came to see their tree. It was suspended from the ceiling and turned, and was breathtaking. (Mr. Kavitsky was brought over to work in the coal mines, but the family was treated badly. They later changed their name to Whitman).

One December a few days before Christmas, Mr. Kavitsky went in search of a tree and cut one on

posted property, which he didn't understand. On his way back, he was arrested by the sheriff. The family was beside themselves and came running over to our house to tell Dad what had happened. Dad went to the Beckley, W.Va. court house, paid Mr. Kavitsky's fine and brought him home. Those people were so grateful. We didn't really have the money to pay the fine, but Daddy said we would get by one way or another. He was always lending a helping hand to anyone who needed it. I think that's why he lived such a long and wonderful life. Shortly after that, we moved from the coal camp to Maxwell Hill.

In the early 1940s when Mom and Dad moved to Maxwell Hill there was only one other house up

there and it was a beautiful place. In a few years the area started building up and a grocery store was built. Patty Jo Wall’s mother, Aunt Opha, ran it. She and my parents started a church service in its basement. After Aunt Opha sold the store they met in Mrs. Broughman's house. Soon they had enough money to buy land and built Maxwell Hill Baptist Church, where my parents later had their funeral service. Mom and Dad kept the church clean and built the fires before people came for services. Dad was a deacon, trustee and on the building committee. He also sang in the choir and loved children.

Soon my brothers Clinton B. Jr. and Howard Albert joined the Navy, and Franklin Eugene joined

the Army. As the story goes, “It's a Small World.” In about 1962, Howard was aboard ship in Japan when his Nephew Bobby Daniels was ferrying soldiers from the ship to shore. Bobby spotted his Uncle Howard. All he could say was “Golly. Golly.” What a reunion. During the Cuban crisis of the 1960s Howard also ran into his Nephew Bobby Treadway.

He served in the U.S. Army during World War II. A brief story about and photo of him appeared during that period in a Beckley, W.Va. newspaper: “Wearing a uniform designed by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, which is adorned by elaborate braid decorations this photograph doesn’t show, is Fred Honaker, of Saxon, who is stationed at Boston with an anti-aircraft unit in the coast artillery. A private first class with a second class specialist rating, the 21-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Honaker, of Saxon, is one of five brothers in the service, which is probably a record for this section. One brother, Thomas J. Honaker, is in the army, too, and three, Randal, Douglas, and Denver, are in the navy. With five of his 11 sons serving, Mr. Honaker, a farmer, declares he wishes he were young enough to go, too. Fred, who enlisted at Beckley on Dec. 8, 1939, was to report back to Boston today after a seven-day furlough. His job, he said, is “to shoot down enemy planes that attack the town (Boston)” and he added that “we do a lot of practicing.”

In 2008, Fred’s son Kevin said that his dad and all ten uncles were in uniform during World War II and that Fred was in the Army 300 miles from Berlin when the war ended.

A story about Woody appeared in The Salina Journal, date not reported, at the end of his newspaper career: Conqueror of cranky machinery to retire, by John Schmiedeler

For 31 years, Woody has worn one of those funny-looking hats pressmen fashion out of a sheet of newsprint to keep printer's ink out of their hair. Most of those years have been spent at The Salina Journal. For quite a few of them the paper hat has been more decorative than protective. As the deadlines mounted, so did Woody's hairline.

Oscar E. Wood—majordomo of The Journal's pressroom, master of the deadline, conqueror of cranky machinery—is retiring Jan. 1. He says he wouldn't change a thing, even if he could.

To the layman, a modern newspaper press may appear a paper-eating monster, a bewildering collection of whirling drums and spinning [illegible] with a hurrying sheet of paper streaking through the maze. Somehow, a newspaper emerges.

It all comes together

The pressroom houses the climax of the newspaper’s daily whirl. That's where it all comes together. That's where the daily genesis is completed. Woody has presided over The Journal's pressroom since 1946. He came here from the Hutchinson News where Cy Tullis had made him a pressman.

Actually, Woody had started a printing career in the composing room and was told to quit the business by a doctor. Tullis convinced him otherwise and Woody's been meeting that deadline ever since. (Sometimes, he beats the deadline, too. Certainly he must have lost count of the news desk men he has saved from wrath by chipping minutes off the pressroom allotted make-ready time.)

Woody has done more than operate newspaper presses. He has put them together. When he joined The Journal in [illegible], his press was an elderly 2-stand rotary with a 32-page capacity, jammed along a basement wall in what had been a post office at 7th and Iron.

Nearby was a pot of molten lead from which heavy, page-sized half-cylinders were cast. These stereotypes were strapped on the press to print the pages. The hot pot competed with an air conditioner to dominate the environment; the pot regularly won. In 1962, The Journal was moved to the 4th and South plant and Woody directed placement of a rebuilt 80-page press in the new plant.

Nine years later, in 1971, that press was dismantled and hauled out the back door as The Journal converted to offset printing from the letterpress system. Again, Woody built a new press. The changeover, carefully planned, was accomplished with a minimum of pain despite the need for Woody's crew to print The Journal on the presses of the Hutchinson News for a short time.

The changeover brought Woody a totally new experience. Compared with offset, letterpress printing is a heavy-handed business. Woody and his crew had to learn a new and complex craft. Woody believes The Journal's system of men and machines has reached a plateau permitting his retirement.

Woody hasn’t done it alone, of course. But as pressroom foreman, he’s also chief teacher-in-residence. Dozens of men have learned the craft under his direction. He has alumni in plants across the land. And he leaves a skilled crew behind.

Woody’s retirement plans involve his 40-acre farm northwest of Salina, but, more immediately, a chance to spend at least part of the winter in the Southland. There also are two sons for Woody and Margaret to visit—Robert at Lincoln, Neb., and Ronnie in Boulder, Colo.—and three grandchildren.

But right now, Woody is “playing it by ear.” You see, he has another press to build. He’s agreed to supervise installation of more press units at The Journal, a job now underway.

Wood will be succeeded as press foreman by Howard Gruber, New Cambria, who has been assistant foreman and who has worked at The Journal since 1961.

He married Margaret B. Thomas, daughter of John Herman Thomas and Mary Bader, 12 Aug 1934 in Wichita, Kan. Born 31 Jul 1912 in Leavenworth, Kan. Died 21 Oct 1995 in Salina. Buried in Roselawn Cemetery, Salina. Children:

2.i.x.i.i. i. Robert Lee[7]. Born 1 Feb1937.

She married, first, Edward Templeton Clayton 7 Feb 1939 in Wichita, Kan. Born 22 Jun 1900 in Pontiac, Kan. Died 22 Feb 1954. Children:

2.i.x.i.ii. i. Nena Corinne[7]. Born 15 Jul 1941.

ii. Deanna Kay. Born 29 Jun 1947 in Wichita, Kan.

Wichita [Kan.] Eagle and Beacon, 30 Dec 1991, Special Athletes to Bring in the New Year, by Lisa Argimonti, accompanied by a two-column photo, cutline—Deanna Clayton, left, and Deborah Pyles plan to race in a special mile run during a New Year’s Eve party at Levitt Arena.

Deborah Pyles, 63, began her running career in Lincoln School in Atchison. She liked to sprint, she always wore high-top tennies. Deanna Clayton, 44, started running more than 10 years ago in the 50-yard dash. Pyles is a Senior Olympian; Clayton a Special Olympian. On New Year’s Eve, they will pool their talents and participate in the inaugural Midnight Madness Mile at Wichita State University. The first race in Kansas that pairs Special Olympians with other athletes. “I’m letting Deanna set the pace,” Pyles said. “I’m just helping her.”

When Pyles was 53, she became interested in Senior Olympics. But when she inquired, she was told she wasn’t old enough. When she reached 55 and qualified eight years ago, she ran in the half-mile and won a gold medal. She also had a coach, her son John, a former cross-country runner at Kapaum Mount Carmel High School. In 1987, she competed in the United States Senior Olympics and won third place in the 400-meter race.

Her partner for the midnight run began participating in the Special Olympics about 10 years ago. She now competes in the 50-yard dash and softball during the summer games and bowling in the winter games. This will be her longest race, and she isn’t sure whether she’ll be able to run the entire way. “I’m looking forward to trying to do my best,” Clayton said. “I’m excited because in the Special Olympics, we try to do our very, very best.”

The race is part of an alcohol-free celebration New Year’s Eve, sponsored by the Kansas Special Olympics and Charter Hospital. There’s also a 10K race/walk earlier in the evening. The party will be held from 8 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. in Levett Arena on the WSU campus. There will be music, magic shows, a pancake feed and other entertainment for children and adults. The entire fee for either race is $12, $14 for both. Admission to the party is $2 for adults and $1 for children under 12.

About 12 Special Olympics members will take part in the midnight run on New Year’s Eve, said Frank Jarrett, associate director of development for Kansas Special Olympics. And for those who are thinking about going, Clayton had a request: “We need cheerleaders,” she said.

She was one week old when her mother died. Billie said her father owned a store in Montcalm and the family was living there while their house was being built. She provided several photographs of her family to the Honaker Family Association.

Bluefield [W.Va.] Daily Telegraph, 18 Nov 2004—Billie Jean Cameresi, 75, of Sarasota, Fla., and formerly of Bluefield, W.Va., returned to Heaven on Mon., Nov. 15, 2004. Born Feb. 11, 1929 in Montcalm, she was the daughter of the late Sam Lawson and Vesta Bailey Lawson. Just a week after her birth, her mother passed on and Billie was raised by Sarah Bailey, the wife of her maternal uncle. Sarah, known affectionately as Ganny, lived her entire life with Billie and, in turn, helped raise Billie’s own daughter, son and grandson. A graduate of Bramwell High School, Billie lived in Bluefield until 1970 when she and her family moved to Sarasota, Fla. At a time when it was uncommon, Billie enjoyed a long career as a businesswoman. For many years she worked as a bookkeeper for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in both Bluefield and Sarasota. Known for her vivacious personality, her outgoing and humorous spirit, Billie “never met a stranger” and whether you met her for 15 minutes or knew her for a lifetime, she left a permanent mark upon the hearts of all who met her. With her penchant for “dressing to the nines,” the love of her home and decorating, her beautiful singing voice and love of all music, dance and entertainment, Billie “took center stage” whenever she entered a room and left all who encountered her with a smile on their face and the knowledge that they had made a friend for life. She was a woman without prejudice or judgement, and long before it was politically correct, she had friends of all faiths, ethnic backgrounds and lifestyles. Whether you were blue collar or white tie, Billie embraced the heart and soul of everyone she met and she treated all on equal ground. She was a devoted mother who enjoyed “spoiling her kids rotten!” Billie’s deep love of West Virginia never left her and she returned frequently over the years to visit family and friends. She and her family were former members of Bluewell [W.Va.] Methodist Church. Billie is preceded in passing by her late husband, Joseph Cameresi. She is survived by her daughter, Connie Short and her son, Tim Cameresi, both of Sarasota, Fla; and her grandson and his wife, Brad and Jodi Short of Riverview, Fla. She is also survived by three sisters and two brothers; Shirley Saunders of Bluefield; Joan Braford of Natural Bridge, Va.; Brenda Stoner of Lexington, Va.; Sam Lawson, Jr. also of Lexington; and Fred Lawson of Salisbury, Md. The depth of her love for her friends was amazing, and among the many friends Billie leaves behind in Bluefield are her brother in law, Jewel Short; and a woman who became a sister to Billie both in spirit and in her heart, her dear friend Ovella Mariotti. A celebration of Billie’s life is being held at 2 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 20, 2004 at St. James United Methodist Church in Sarasota. Her children plan to visit Bluefield in the Spring of 2005, at which time they will announce and invite all who knew her to join them in another celebration of the remarkable life of their Mother. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society in honor of Billie Cameresi. [This obituary was written by her son Tim.]

Remarks by one of Jim’s stepchildren at the memorial service:

On behalf of Helen and the rest of the family, I would like to thank all of you for coming today. I would like to take this opportunity to share some thoughts on the life of Jim Honaker. He was born James Rufus Honaker on Aug. 30, 1918 in Gap Mills, W.Va. Jim was the third of 13 children and spent his childhood years growing up on a farm in Indiana. Jim later served his country in World War II seeing active duty with the Army in Europe.

Most of us here today have only been a part of his life these last ten or so years. I can only assume this was indicative of his character during the first 70 years of his life. It was a bit of a rough start for Jim when Helen first brought him into our lives. He was not exactly welcomed with open arms by the family. This was hard on both of them, but in the end Helen was right in her choice, and over time Jim patiently persisted and overcame all of our stubbornness until we were all able to open ourselves to discover the kind of person Jim really was.

Jim truly lived life to the fullest and took great pleasures in the simplest of things. I will forever be amazed at the energy and vigor he had until his final hour. Whether it was going hunting, fishing, projects around the house or a game of croquet, gld or even sand volleyball, Jim was always up for the challenge. The best single example of this has to be when he decided to try out the jet ski last year at the lake. In case you don’t believe me on this one, check out these pictures.

Jim also had an unbelievable way with small children. If there was a newborn in the vicinity, Jim would be sure to always get some one-on-one time with the infant. He was drawn to children of all ages. He was the stereotypical grandpa that you would see on TV—he always had time for the children.

I think Jim had a valuable lesson for all of us in his positive and youthful approach to life. He lived every day to the fullest and took advantage of every minute of his life right up to his final breath. He still golfed on a regular basis with his golf buddies, Bob, Bill and others, and recently took on a position at Hy Vee. His final day was spent doing some of the things he enjoyed the most—spending the day with Helen attending mass, going to breakfast, stopping by the casino and spending time with neighbors. Jim played a special role in all of our lives and will be missed. I believe two of his most notable roles were as a spouse to Helen and as a grandfather to numerous grandchildren. Jim was steadfast in his support, consistency and commitment to Helen. He was always a gentleman and provided nine wonderful years of companionship. I know she will miss him greatly.

Jim was also an exceptional grandfather to our children. After I explained to them that he had passed away, I asked them to tell me their favorite memories of him so we could always remember the good times. I will share some of them with you: “Remember how Grampa used to call us a Dutchman—‘You’re a Dutchman,’ he would say.” “He taught us how to play checkers and play with us all the time.” “He took us on walks to the park to play hopscotch.” “He played marbles with us.” “He pretended he took my nose.”

Finally, I want to thank Jim for all that he has done for us. After paying my respects to him in the hospital, just after he passed away, he left one final impression in my mind. As I left the room to go home I stopped half way to the door and turned back to get one last look. Just as I did this I could hear in my mind the words Jim always said upon leaving our house. “Stop by and see us!” he’d say. It is my sincere hope and desire that we all have the opportunity to make good on this in heaven.

She remembered sitting on his lap, driving the tractor down the lane from the woods, and going into town with him riding a toy John Deere tractor while he conducted his business. When he died, Joan and her sister’s lives changed. Their mother sold the farm and built a house, wanting them to have what she wasn’t able to have when she was growing up.

Children:

iii. Janette Sue (called Jan). Born 7 Oct 1958 in Rushville. The following profile of Jan’s life was provided in 2007 by her sister Joan:

Jan showed musical promise at an early age and studied piano with Mrs. Otto Moore from the age of five. Her first memory of the world was sitting on her mother’s lap in church, looking up at the painted symbols above the altar at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, so it is fitting that she was drawn to be an organist. She began to study organ with Robert Byrd, professor at Earlham College, and her mother took her every Saturday for lessons, often with her sister Julie, who took voice lessons with Mr. Byrd. Her skills progressed so that she was able to accompany the a capella choir in the Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah at the age of 16; she also attended the national music camp at Interlochen, Mich., where she was awarded the John Wenlund prize for organ performance, enabling her to study a second summer. While in high school she was also an active participant on the Speech Team, was senior class president, and placed in the academic top ten of her senior class.

She continued her musical studies at the Indiana University School of Music, graduating with a Bachelor of Music, magna cum laude, in 1981 and Master of Music, cum laude, in 1982. She was 1979 Young Organist of the Year, an award that changed her life, beginning with a professional debut recital on the then-world’s largest church organ at West Point Cadet Chapel. Since that thime she has gone on to enjoy an international performing career and in 2007 was under management of the country’s most prestigious artist management, Karen McFarlane Artists.

After Indiana University, she obtained valuable teaching experience at Scarritt Graduate School in Nashville and then earned a Ph.d. in Music, summa cum laude, from Northwestern University. After one year of teaching at the University of North Alabama, she joined the faculty of East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., in 1989, where she became chair of the Keyboard Department and head of Organ Performance and Sacred Music studies. She was in 2007 also principal organist and Director of Music at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Greenville, N.C., and an active member of the Episcopal Church. She loved to work with her choir, a largely volunteer group that sings at a professional level. She enjoys a challenge and every year takes on something new. She is learning German with a private tutor and travels to Germany once a semester to study with Ludger Lohmann, one of Europe’s great scholar-musicians.

After almost two decades of work, her programs at East Carolina University are recognized as some of the finest in the country, and she places her students in top jobs and graduate programs, including Indiana and Yale Universities. She worked hard to make possible the installation of the C.B. Fisk, Opus 126 organ at St. Paul’s, one of the finest instruments of its kind in the U.S. It is shared with the community in an agreement she helped design.

In 1989 she married Colin M. Andrews, a fellow organist and teacher. Born 2 Jun 1956 in Bristol, England. Throughout the year, Jan tours the world, performing concerts with him. Both separately and together, they have played some of the world’s great organs. They have an exciting life, recording, concertizing, and seeing the world together. Colin is also an adjunct faculty member at East Carolina University School of Music, so their worlds are totally entwined in music. Their home is on the historic register and will be 100-years-old in 2010. They named it the “Old Rectory,” as it was formerly the St. Paul’s rector’s residence. They are in the process of restoring it to its former glory. [In 2004 they lived in Greenville, N.C.]

Through joys and sorrows, triumphs and challenges, Colin and Jan share a wonderful life together, full of friends, family and music. Although they do not have children, both of them regard their students as their children and take great pride in their accomplishments. They also spend a lot of time with Julie and her daughter Abigail, who has become the daughter they will never have. Jan is a gifted, loving woman who gives tirelessly of herself. She looks forward to the next chapter of her life with Colin as they enjoy their careers, travel and the special thrill of knowing that every new day brings an opportunity to learn something new and make something beautiful.

Unknown newspaper, unknown date: Lewis Harold Schlechtweg Pilot dies in crash

A Fountain Town man was killed when a goodbye gesture to friends caused his single engine airplane to crash into Lake Wawasee in Northern Indiana. Lewis H. Schlechtweg lived on Indiana [Rt.] 9, just inside of Hancock County at Rt. 1 Fountain Town was pronounced dead after police pulled his body from the plane wreckage in about 15 feet of water Monday morning.

Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Detective Tom Kitch said Schlechtweg had come to the lake area for a weekend outing with some of his fellow Optimist Club members. The group spent the weekend at a friend’s lakeside cottage and the Hancock pilot had asked to be taken to Goshen airport about 7:30 am Monday, Kitch said. The detective said that Schlechtweg had climbed into his Piper 110 aircraft and was headed home when the accident occurred.

Some of the Optimist group had remained at the lake and Schlectweg is believed to have made a final pass over the lake to bid his friends goodbye. Kitch said, “He was dipping his wings as a signal to his friends, and the theory is that he dipped and lost his lift and went into the lake.” Witnesses indicated there was no apparent engine malfuntion,” the detective added. Whether the plane fell or whether a wing may have clipped the water is uncertain.

Kitch’s department received a call at about 8:37 a.m. Monday and aided by an Indiana State Police helicopter spotted the submerged weckage shortly thereafter. Using Sheriff department drivers, Schlechtweg’s body was removed at 9:50 a.m., Kitch noted. He said the plane was in about 15 feet of water in the lake’s northwest corner, an area commonly referred to as Kale Island. “It’s not a deep lake,” Kitch said. He noted that Wawasee had a maxium depth of 77 feet and an average depth of six feet.

Schlechtweg was initially taken to Harris Funeral Home. Schlechtweg was later transferred to Applegate Funeral Home in Lawrence where arrangements are pending.

In 2009 his wife Wanda provided the following profile of his life:

As a child Raymond remembers working with his dad, cutting trees and working on the farm. He made extra money mowing yards and shoveling coal which helped him to buy clothing, food and refreshments. Raymond mowed one lawn that took him all day with a push mower and was paid 50-cents for the day. Raymond said his family was poor, that he does not remember having any clothes that fit him until he was able to buy his own. Raymond wore hand-me-downs that were always too large for him. Raymond is very good with numbers, he played baseball and basketball in school. He quit school when he was in high school, he wanted to be a minister, but life did not turn out the way he had hoped. Raymond married and started his family. Many times he had two jobs to support his family. Raymond and his sons shoveled and delivered corn and feed to customers, he also worked on a chicken farm. One time Raymond and his family had to dig for mussels which they used to live on. The day after the last day of the season Raymond was called to work. During the time Raymond worked at the mill at Co-op he had a cat named kittytom. The cat went to work with him and stayed until he went home. Raymond told the story of James Golden Honaker and himself out in the fields plowing. They heard a train in the distance. James told Raymond to watch how he would teach the two horses not to be afraid of the train and noise. James turned the horses to face the track and when the train came by the horses took off across the field. Raymond said his dad received a few cuts and bruises due to the fact the plow came loose from the horses thus preventing James from being dragged too far. Raymond likes to go to tractor and horse pulls, raise a garden and can food, play golf, watch and feed birds, help his daughter Darlene Kaufman mow a cemetery in Brownsville, Ind. He helps his children and wife with many household and yard chores. Raymond had polio when he was young which prevented him from going into the military. He had to learn to walk over again. Raymond had bleeding ulcers; lost a foot of his large intestine due to cancer; open heart surgery; blood clot in the calf of his right leg removed surgery, the doctor cut the muscle across instead of length wise, causing a large knot; appendix removal. He had a terrible time with his feet in his working years, had to buy special shoes to prevent sores on the soles of his feet. He retired from the Co-op, working with feeds, grains, etc. After his retirement he worked at Big Logs as a cashier. Raymond did a lot of manual labor in his life which he contributes to his health today. He said it helped build muscles and bones that had been damaged by polio. Ray is a quiet man. Raymond is an animal lover, especially dogs and cats. He loves to watch sports on TV, he especially likes basketball.

Raymond remembered working with his dad as a child, cutting trees and working on the farm. He quit high school and wanted to be a minister but life did not turn out that way. Beset with polio when he was young, he had to learn to walk again, then had physical difficulties all his life, including complications of diabetes. In 2006 he lived with his wife Wanda in Ft. Branch, Ind.

Jimmy and Crystal had no children.

It is almost always inherited and is found in only a few families around the world. Onset of the disease usually occurs between the ages of 35 and 55. In the early stages, patients may experience varying levels of ataxia (lack of muscle coordination), including clumsiness, unsteadiness, and difficulty walking. As the disease progresses, the ataxia becomes more pronounced and most patients develop dementia. Other symptoms may include…slurring of speech…involuntary movements of the eyes…rigid muscle tone…and visual disturbances, sometimes leading to blindness. Deafness also can occur. In some families, parkensonian features are present…..There is no cure for GSS, nor are there any known treatments to slow progression of the disease…..The disease ultimately causes severe disability and finally death, often after the patient goes into a coma or has a secondary infection such as aspiration pneumonia due to an impaired ability to swallow.” Crystal was afflicted with cancer of the jaw and teeth infections.

6-ft. waves on the lake Wednesday. Marshall Honaker, of Alderson, W.Va., says his boat was tossed into a cliff. Medics were called to the scene, and off-duty Cleveland firefighters rescued Honaker’s fishing partner who had been thrown into the water and had to climb onto the rocks.

The tournament continues throughout the weekend and has a first prize of $60,000.

In his youth, Winston was known as Shelton. After high school, he was known as Ricky. He graduated high school in 1960, then joined a band in Roanoke, Va., where he took the nickname Ricky. In 2008 he lived in the Richmond, Va., area where he was a building contractor.

In 2008 he wrote the following profile about his family:

There are quite a few things of interest that might add to the record of our family history, including mom’s marriage to my dad, Jessie Webb, a direct decendent of Squire Boone, Daniel Boone’s dad, who married Mary Webb, a sister of George Thomas Webb 2nd, one of my great grandfathers. It’s so interesting, the history that you uncover when searching through family trees. Another example on the Webb side is that [famed country singer] Loretta Lynn Webb, from Butcher Hollow, Ky., is also related and  connected to the Boone family.

[It was reported to you] of my having a stroke. The fact is, I fell in the parking lot, after stepping off a curb in 5-in. of snow, going to see my wife Dot, who was in intensive care, getting a blood transfusion after a chemotherapy treatment, which went bad. I had her oxygen and my briefcase, as I was planning to stay with her overnight and work on my paperwork. When I got off the elevator going up to see her, I burst a blood vessel in the back of my neck from slipping on the curb. This let my optic nerves go without blood, causing them to be damaged, they said, beyond repair. I was told they would never heal or see again. I was legally blind, as half of each eye was dead. My eyes were checked by specialists who all concurred. I was released and they brought me home.

Then folks came from our church, Popular Springs Church of God, and prayed for my eyes. The interesting part is, that stating in his report, Dr. Kraus, of Richmond Va, said that through prayer, my blindness changed to a temporary condition, and after re-examination, was corrected. I have now been upgraded to my present status, in which I am at present driving with no restrictions. 

[After my first wife died] I met my second wife, Joanne Laney, on-line through the computer. We also parted because of a computer and the attention she gave to the dark sides of the net. We weren’t yoked right, as I thought of her one way and she was quite another. I discovered I was her fifth husband and our marriage actually didn’t have a chance as it was surely a mistake from the beginning. After many meetings with my pastor, who helped me decide to file for divorce, I decided to let it go and get on with my life.

I have known my present wife since the second grade, 1950, when we were seven years old. Her dad was Ernest Wyatt Kersey, from Alleghany, Va., just across the border from West Virginia. Her mother was Aretta Mae Bostic, from White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. She and I remained friends down through the years. During our school life, they held teachers meetings, we are told, of how to separate us, as where you seen one, close by was the other. Had her folks approved of our engagement as seniors we would have married. Because of that we went our separate ways.      

She was divorced, living in Roanoke, Va. since 1999. Had I known, she would have been my second wife, because when we re-met at our class reunion, we sort of  picked up where we left off as seniors in 1960. We now have children and grandchildren, all of which we are sharing. Our lives went into different directions only to have our paths cross, it appears at perfect timing, as I was separated, filing a no-fault divorce.

My mother and I was very close. I am the youngest, as my brother Howard died at a very young age, and they decided to have another child, which turned out to be me. I am at present working on gospel music, with my guitar, harmonica, piano, banjo, and anything else I can make music on, including a wash tub and spoons. My granddad Honaker taught me the harmonica, from a tot, and I loved to hear him play. He also gave me my first chew of tobacco, which I will never forget. I’m sure he planned it that way.

Ricky also wrote the following recollection:

I was born in a cabin, May, 1943. My Dad, Jessie Harmmond Webb, and his Dad George Thomas Webb, a (circuit riding preacher) built the cabin in Calleghan, Va. Since I graduated in 1960, went to Roanoke, Va., joned a band, playing music. They gave me the nickname, lil Ricky. I have been Ricky Webb, every since. I remember Uncle Golden, Aunt Stella, I was a lil guy then, some of my last memories, of him, is when he came in, and took a nap. He was always so full of himself. Before I remodeled Mom & Dads, in, getting ready to rentivate, it, Uncle Golden, & some folks came in, I think in the late 60’s early 70’s, I have moved from Calleghan, many years ago. Sis is still there, she has the ole home place…I am just passing through all this mess, getting ready for my journey to go Home. I have a music project, working on a country gospel [compact disc], a record, of Mom & Dad’s favorite songs, the ones I have written, also poems, from my wife Dot, in which I turned to music, some I have written since my wife passed, they are all mostly country Gospel, some about my childhood, growing up, most all includes My Savior, Jesus, and our Heavenly Father, giving him the praise, and all the glory, for my very existence on this earth, it’s a single project, me, I have cue base on here, learning the software, putting everything in layers, my guitar, harmonica, banjo, piano, if you wish, I will make it available to you guys, when it is finished. …..

I have come to Richmond [Va.] area, and am a Contractor, I do custom building, remodeling, lot development, etc. I lost my wife, Dorothy, “Dot,” March 29, 04, pancreatic cancer. I then had a stroke, lost my vision, but have recovered, and am now, back in the saddle. I was looking for my moms, family tree, did a 7 year study on Dad’s, so while I was finishing up, then went then, to my Mom’s. That is why I am still be on the site. ….. If there is anything you would I share, I would appreciate it. Please tell every one, I send my Love. Happy Trails, Good Luck, and My Prayer; God Bless you, all our Family, and everyone You Love, Winston/”Ricky” Webb.

Sacramento [Calif.] Bee, unknown date: Sherman Bailey, Roseville’s ‘go-to’ guy, by Steve Gibson, Bee Staff Writer, photo with cutline, “The retired Air Force master sergeant was an avid golfer who sometimes played before he went to work.”

Retired Master Sgt. Sherman Bailey, who repaired Cold War era warplanes before starting a second career as an electronics technician for the city of Roseville, is dead at 62. The award-winning municipal employee died Tuesday of cancer. His 23 years of military service included a seven-year stint at Beale Air Force Base where, among other things, he worked on the complex avionics systems of the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.

After retiring from the Air Force and settling in Rancho Cordova, he was hired by Roseville. He was in charge of the crew that kept the pumps and electrical controls running in the water and sewage treatment plants. During his 19 years with Roseville, he was three times a recipient of the city’s “Pride of Roseville” award for outstanding performance.

Mr. Bailey was cited for his leadership and redesign of part of the sewage treatment plant’s computer control system. “He was our ‘go-to’ guy,” said Mark Cossairt, who worked with him. “Any time there was a problem, we would go to Sherman. He was the one who would get ’em up and running.” Mr. Bailey also was a charismatic fellow with natural leadership skills who made the city’s Environmental Utilities Department—of which he was a part—function more smoothly, said his boss, Derrick Whitehead. “He had this ability to bring people together, the ability to take a group and get them to jell as a team,” Whitehead said. “People flocked to him.”

Born in Crumpler, W.Va., Sherman Huston Bailey was the son of the former Bernice Honaker and Hugh Sherman. Shortly after graduating from high school in Princeton, W.Va., he enlisted in the Air Force. While stationed at Beale, from 1965 to 1972, he and his wife, the former Mary Mattice, decided to settle in the Sacramento region. He was an avid golfer who sometimes would play before coming to work, according to colleagues. He was a member of the Cold Springs Golf and Country Club in Placerville.

In addition to his wife, survivors include sons, Ron Bailey of Lincoln, Neb., and Douglas Bailey of Bremerton, Wash.; daughters, Kathryn Moreno of Folsom and Lisa Bailey of Cameron Park; and seven grandchildren. Services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday in Pleasant Grove Community Church, 1730 Pleasant Grove Blvd., Roseville.

The church belongs to the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches, an organization not affiliated with a denomination. He moved there from a prior pastorate in Rockwood, Mich. A story about him, with photograph, appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Spring 1999. It was based on the following story.

Unknown Michigan newspaper, Sep or Oct 1998: New pastor draws on ecumenical background, by Donna Abramczyk

The Rev. Robin Honaker brings a true ecumenical background to his new job as pastor of Rockwood [Mich.] First Congregational Church. Honaker, 42, was born to an Ohio Baptist family and has served Methodist, Christian Reformed and Presbyterian churches in various forms before his call to the Rockwood church. As a premed student at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, he earned a degree in zoology with minors in mathematics and chemistry, and met his wife, Lavaine, there. His life’s direction changed when he couldn’t get into medical school, and an adviser suggested that he attend a seminary, Honaker said.

Two years at Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Ind., followed. By then, the couple were expecting their first child, and the minister-in-training dropped out to find a job to support his new family. Honaker went on to be ordained an evangelist with the Christian Reformed Church and served for six years as a missionary, then pastor in that church for the Navajo nation in New Mexico.

“We learned the Navajo language, which is very difficult, so we weren’t exactly fluent in it,” he said. “I believe only those who are born to it can be fluent.” They lived in the high mountains of New Mexico, Honaker said, in an area populated by American Indians. “We quickly assimilated, however,” Honaker said. “Our youngest daughter, especially, was immersed in their culture, so that when we left there, she experienced culture shock.”

Four years ago, Honaker was able to return to Grace Theological Seminary to complete his studies, and in June earned a master of divinity degree in counseling. While attending the seminary, he was the Christian education director, the youth pastor and a counselor for the Mentone United Methodist Church in that area of northern Indiana.

He and his wife are the parents of four daughters, Candace, 16, and Mary, 14, students at Carlson High School; Bess, 11, a sixth-grader at Shumate Middle School; and Rose, 7, a first-grader at Chapman Elementary School. The family lives in Rockwood.

Honaker was installed at his new post Sept. 26 in a ceremony that included his brother-in-law, the Rev. David Fisher, minister at Colonial Church in Edina, Minn.; Dr. Greg Rittenhouse, pastor of Fremont (Ind.) United Methodist Church; and Dr. Herb Bateman of Grace Theological Seminary. Also participating in the service were the Rev. Jack Brown, minister at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Bloomfield Hills, and former Rockwood First Congregational ministers the Rev. Marilyn Danielson, pastor of First Congregational Church in Portland; the Rev. Wayne McLeod of the Southeast Michigan Association of Congregational Churches, and the Rev. Wesley Crocker, now retired. Included in the musical program were Honaker’s daughters, Candace, on the piano, and Mary, who sang an opening duet with her father.

He married Audrey Lavaine Ower (called Lavaine), daughter of Robert Carter Ower and Loraine May Scruggs, 24 May 1979 in Flagstaff, Ariz. Born 26 Dec 1958 in Prescott, Ariz.

Charleston [W.Va.] Gazette, 1 May 1991: Woman Held in Slaying Claims Self-Defense

A Raleigh County woman accused of killing her husband says she acted in self-defense, court documents show. Sherry Honaker, 36, of Naoma is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her husband, Ronald E. Honaker. She is to stand trial May 29 in circuit court. Her husband died from a single stab wound to the chest following an argument, Sheriff’s Detective G.R. Gregory said.

“I just poked him and told him to leave me alone,” Mrs. Honaker told police at the time of her arrest last December. “I don’t know what I had in my hand,” she said. “I don’t even know if I had a knife. All I remember is having a fork.” Mrs. Honaker said she and her husband had been drinking the night of the incident. In her statement, Mrs. Honaker also said she had stabbed her husband at least three times in the past “to protect myself because he beat me so bad.”

He married Sherry Silas. Born ca. 1955. On 8 Jun 2011 an obituary appeared in the Green Bay [Wisc.] Press-Gazette for a Mary Lynn Silas, 48, of Green Bay, a daughter of John and Marilyn (Grignon) Silas.

Charleston [W.Va.] Gazette, 17 May 1994: A change of tune turns jock into marching mountaineer, by Mary Sansom

When Sissonville Indians basketball coach David Daniel scheduled morning practices and demanded his basketball players work longer and harder, he didn’t know he was shaping up an All-County tuba player. But the same work ethic Daniel pushed on the court compels former player Bobby Honaker on the marching field.

If bats and balls and racquets were instruments, Honaker would be an accomplished and versatile musician. He played sports year-round, beginning with baseball at the age of 5. He played football from Midget League to ninth grade and tennis from the ninth grade until his senior year. He started out in Biddy Basketball, but by his sophomore year, Honaker decided he needed a change of tune.

The change came about unexpectedly, when Honaker attended Drums Across the Tri-State with the Upward Bound program the summer before his junior year at Sissonville High. It looked like something he wanted to do, though he had no musical experience, unless you count mandatory recorder lessons in fourth grade.

He asked band director Katrina Flanagan if he could join. That fall Honaker enrolled in band class, and Flanagan set him up with tuba lessons from instructor Matthew Walters of Big Chimney. At the same time, he played basketball for Daniel, but realized he would have to chose between the two because the strenuous athletic program took him away from the marching field.

He concentrated on the tuba, but the words of Daniel and of all his other coaches stayed with him like a song he couldn’t get out of his mind. “If you didn’t work, you didn’t get to play,” Honaker recalls them saying. “It wasn’t how much talent you had, it was how hard you worked.”

“I worked longer, I worked harder at getting the notes, at getting the rhythm. I saw how hard I had worked in basketball, and I worked just as hard in music,” he said. He practiced rigorously, and this year, as a senior, he competed with ten other tuba players to earn fourth seat in the All-County Band. After he graduates, he will continue to play the tuba at West Virginia University, where he plans to major in chemistry. Recently, he successfully auditioned for one of nine openings on the 300-member WVU marching band.

He said his parents, Bob and Virginia, of Pocatalico, were leery of his new interest. “They were a little shaky at first and didn’t like me quitting basketball, but I think they’re proud of me,” he said. If his brothers follow his musical lead, the family could have its own ensemble. Eighth-grader Aaron plays the saxophone, and Bobby is hoping fourth-grader, Benjamin, and first-grader, James, will also take up an instrument. He coaches Aaron to beef up his practice because he knows the value of sweat.

“I believe anybody can do what I’ve done with tuba lessons and Mrs. Flanagan helping. I think I’m building on my talent because of how hard I work at it.”

ii. Aaron. Born ca. 1981.

iii. Benjamin David (called Benji.) Born ca. 1985.

iv. James (called Jimmy). Born ca. 1988.

She lived in Haysville, Kan., where she wrote her memoirs, which were published in Honaker Family Newsletter beginning with Winter 2008:

This and That

I have been taking notes and reminiscing about a lot of different things. Decided to put some of these things on paper. Hope luck is better today than yesterday when I typed one sheet [on computer] and then I forgot to save it. If I had an old typewriter I would not have to save. As I typed it would be on paper. So many new things and some are better.

Have you ever wondered how butter was made? Way back then we did not have margarine. We had to make butter. First you need to buy a cow. Forget this if you are a city person. Don’t think you can have a cow in town. Back when I was a kid, about 70 years ago, we had two acres on South Broadway in Wichita. We had two cows and one of my jobs was to bring the cows in from the pasture land just south of us for milking. My dad would bring the milk to the house in milk buckets. My mother would pour this fresh milk into crocks (large clay bowls.) No refrigeration. Let this set until the cream came to the top of milk. Then we would skim the cream off. Sweet cream was used for cereal and whipped cream. What we did not use we made into butter. This was usually my job. I would skim the cream (skimmed milk) and put it into the churn (a large, tall clay pot with a plunger.) Then you would plunge the paddle up and down for what now seems like hours. Maybe only one. But your arm would get so tired. Then the butter would gather (churning talk) and float to the top. I would gather this together and put in a bowl and take to the pump where the water was cold and wash it. Had to get all the milk out or it would sour and cause the butter to be rancid in a short time. Then added some salt and mixed that in the butter. Mom had some nice one pound butter molds and I would put the butter in one of them. After it cooled. Maybe in the cellar. The butter would be taken out of the mold and my Dad would take this to work and sell it. We still had the skimmed clabbered milk. Now we are going to have cottage cheese. Put this milk into a big pan and bring it just to a boil. Stir the milk as you are heating it. Have a piece of cheese cloth or maybe a tea towel ready to pour this hot clabbered milk into. Tie the cheese cloth and pin on clothes line. Let it drain well and stand and watch, for the flies like this too. When drained maybe an hour or so, untie and put in bowl with some good sweet heavy cream and salt. It is so good. Remember “Little Miss Muffet,” she sat on a tuffet and eating her curds and whey? Curds meant the cottage cheese, and whey is the buttermilk that you have left after churning butter.

Did you ever get an orange for Christmas? I have, and glad to get it. When I was a kid we did not have citrus fruit during the winter. If you did have them, the cost was very high. We did not have the big semi trucks shipping in produce that we have now. At Christmas we would hang our stockings. My mom, dad, sister and I. Christmas morning Santa would leave an apple, orange, candy and nuts in our stockings. What a treat. My dad always had plenty of apples in the cellar. He loved peanuts and apples. We grew our own peanuts. Tricky little mounds of dirt as peanuts grow on the roots. Later, about 1936 or 1937, Bill (my husband) and I would go to his parents’ house for Christmas dinner. He had eight sisters. Six of them were always there for dinner. Some of the girls had good jobs or rich husbands. On the menu were sliced tomatoes. I did not know that you could buy tomatoes in Kansas in December. I would think “pass the turkey and potatoes and dressing, just let me have those tomatoes.”

My mom was an excellent cook. She grew gooseberries and currants. These grow on bushes and she made the best jelly and jams. Gooseberries were quite tart. Would not know where to buy any today.

Wonder if the firemen really wore the long red under wear. So many jokes were told about them. When October came up on the calender it was time for the long under wear. No one ever checked the temperature. It was October. They stayed on until March. Of course with an occasional laundering. How I hated them. Legs were always loose around the ankles. I would pleat them and tuck the loose fabric to the back of the leg. Then I could pull up the long black cotton stocking. Black bloomers and black garter belt to hold those stockings up. Of course the under wear had a back flap. This was used when you went out to the two holer. You had to drop the back flap and then try to match the button hole on the flap with the button on the under wear. We never wore slacks. Never. Unheard of. Mom always would starch our dresses so stiff I think they would stand by them selves.

The first car I remember was called a Touring Car. No doubt a Ford. Large wood spoke wheels and a canvas top. It had side curtains made with ising glass, that you snapped in place instead of windows. It had a running board that you stepped on to get in the car. You carried a tool box on the running board. Something always went wrong and you had to be a part time mechanic. The cars did not have a switch that you turned on and the car started. You turned the key on and then you got the crank out and inserted it just under the radiator and turned it over as fast as you could. I suppose the faster you could turn that crank the more likely you would cause a spark and fire up the motor. Later the cars came out with heaters and radios but you paid extra if you wanted them. Air conditioning came much later. Never would I have thought that a car would sell for more today (2003) than houses we worked so hard to build would sell for in 1983. Very sad.

We had a lot of funerals to attend. Five of Bill’s sisters, his parents and two brotheres, Pat and Jim, died before Bill. Always rushed to Bucks or Rorabaugh’s Dry Goods Store at Douglas and Broadway down town. Went to the basement and looked for a new hat. Never went to a funeral without a hat and white gloves. The gloves could not be black, they had to be white. Bill’s mother and I crocheted a lot of white gloves. A lot of years went by before I went to a funeral without these two things. Bill’s parents and brother Pat had no insurance so the family would divide the expense. I don’t know how we came up with $200 for each of these deaths, but we did.

Miss the Burma Shave signs. There would be small signs on stakes and several in a row with a witty saying on each. I also remember a sign west of Wichita telling how many miles to Reno, Nev. Seemed like another world.

Recalling the commode, chamber pot or the plain old slop jar. This was a granite bucket with a lid. That you used at night rather than go out in the dark to the out house. The next morning some one would get to take the pot out to the two holer and dump it. I salvaged an old slop jar about ten years ago at a business that a daughter owned. I plant flowers in it each summer. Shows signs of wear with all of the chipped white granite. I used an old slop jar to soak dirty diapers in until I washed when the daughters were babies.

During World War II everything was rationed. If it wasn’t rationed you could stand in line for hours to get a box of soap, cigarettes and lots of other things. Of course meat was rationed, but we were able to get a hog from a man that lived in the Flint Hills east of Wichita. Black Market. Bill (my hubby) was a city boy and his dad never butchered. Bill brought home this hog. Dead. Put it on the kitchen table, all four legs of the hog were sticking straight up. Out came the butcher knifes and the hone. Bill sharpened all of the knives and just looked. He did not know where to cut. Gas was rationed, but I had to go several miles and get my mother and take her to our house. She told Bill to cut here and there. Then I had to take Mom home. I rendered all of the lard. Fried all the pork chops and stakes and packed them in the lard. We did not have refrigeration. The hams we salted down and cured. We had a little tool shed and since it was winter we kept the meat out there under lock. We have laughed a lot of times about the dead hog.

I still have a blue granite roaster. It is very old. I can’t remember not having it. When I was younger most of my cook ware was blue granite. It chipped so bad. A chip could lead to a leak.

Have not seen any advertisements for Bull Durham chewing tobacco for a long time.

Monday was wash day. Be grateful for the washer that you only push a button to start a load of laundry. I had a big boiler with a lid. I put this on the stove and pumped water into a bucket and then I filled the boiler with water to heat. I put the old wash tub on a big stool and put hot water from the boiler into the tub. Put the wash board into tub with the P&G soap. Run the bar of soap on the ribs of wash board, then you would scrub the garment that you are washing on this board. When you finished this step you would wring out the water and put it into a tub of cool water to rinse the soap out. Might need to rinse twice. Wring it out and put it into a basket and take to clothes line. Always wash the line. Birds liked it when no clothes were handing on it. Grap the clothes pin bag and hand the laundry up to dry. Clothes always smelled so good and clean. White clothes were always put from the wash board into the boiler on the stove, which I had shaved P&G soap into it. I had part of a broom stick handle that we would punch those white clothes until we thought they were bleached white. The clothes were always white. If you had a child in diapers you washed more than just on Monday. The P&G soap had lye in it. That was the secret. But your dish washer soap today has lye in it. I use this soap today to bleach every thing. Just soak it over night (just a little tip.) Keep this soap away from children.

I can remember 1929 and Wall Street crashed. I doubt if my folks new any one with enough money to invest in Wall Street. Terrible to hear that men were jumping out of windows. I did not comprehend what it was all about but knew it must be bad for people to go to those extremes. I was in grade school. Always had home work to do. Spelling and English home work. I have sat under a kerosene lamp to do homework. The oil had a terrible odor. And the lamp had to be filled and the wick cleaned. Since my dad worked at Colemans we were able later, to have a lantern that gave out good light. Later we had a Coleman lamp. It had a brass base which was the gasoline tank. It had a mantle that was tied on stem from the tank. Mantles were used for lamps and lanterns. Still used for lanterns. Use a lantern today when our electric goes out perhaps in a storm. The mantle was so fragile but could be used several times before it had a break. I was in my early teens before we had electricity.

Wonder if kids today play some of the old games that I did. Tag, hide go seek, hop scotch, drop the handkerchief, marbles, jacks, ring around the rosie, spin the bottle and skipping rope. Good games. We did not have TV or radio. We had well water so we did not have sprinklers, but we sure had fun when it rained. I liked to wade in pools of water and mud. Liked to squish the mud between my toes. So much fun. Bill could not do this as his toes were webbed.

Had a frog that lived under the old ice box. It could startle you when it croaked. This frog’s lake was the pan under the ice box that the water dripped into as the ice melted.

When we lived on South Ida, south of Wichita. This is the first house we built. I always put in an acre of garden. This had to be hoed and picked and canned or frozen. Lots of the meals came from the garden. Bread, milk and butter came from the grocery store. I raised about 500 chickens each year. I would sell the roosters and keep the pullets for eggs. Of course I froze a lot of these for our kids and our own use. I had my own incubator. I have set all kind of eggs. Banties, guineas and ducks. We had one chicken that I called Henry. Henry would sometimes top the hens and sometimes it would lay an egg. Then I called it Henryetta. I let this one run loose as the other chickens hated it. Many times I would see our Irish Setter taking a nap in the sun with Henryetta setting on top of him as if on guard. They were great pals. One night this odd chicken got into the chicken pen and the other chickens pecked it to death.

Recall a couch being called a davenport, a divan or a settee.

I have gone to quilting bees with my mom. Usually at some farm house. The women would take a covered dish for the lunch they had. Kids went too and played outside. Today women are still quilting. Quite the vogue. Beautiful work. Many new ideas. Recently quilts made from feed sacks was the in thing. I can remember if it was my turn I would get to go with my folks to buy chicken feed or flour that came in a cotton feed sack. Later my mom would make me a dress out of the feed sack.

When I was a kid we had a water bucket and a dipper. First you would take the bucket out side to the pump and hand pump it full of water. Take this inside and put the dipper in bucket. Everyone would drink out of this dipper.

Vans are not something new. Long ago we had what we called station wagons. Some of these looked like a wood grain. We had one that was real wood and of course it cracked and had to be repaired like any piece of furniture. Bill put his in his brother Jim’s garage and rebuilt it. I am sure it was in that garage for at least a year. I am sure Jim would have liked to thrown it out when it snowed and he had to scrape his car. SUVs are not a new thing.

I have mentioned Coleman’s lamps. Did you know at one time Coleman made gasoline cook stoves? They made irons with a small gasoline tank on one end. When lit it heated the iron. They made an electric waffle iron. They make furnaces and air conditioners. Some times they would hire the complete family. You grew with them. My dad worked there, my mom worked there. Bill worked there for 37 years. I worked in the genral office. Kathy worked in data processing. They let the oldest daughter Mary do her work for pay rool at home for a while.

If we went on a picnic we would most often go to Riverside Park. Have spent a lot of times there as a child and later I took my girls there. Remember going to band concerts and out doors movies in the park. Just take a blanket and sit on the grass. Bill and I have taken the girls to so many of these shows. All free. The zoo was in the same park. The old alligator pit is still there. We had monkeys, lions and tigers. Play ground equipment. Lots of fun.

Every one talks about flat Kansas. Kansas is sometimes called tornado alley. Yes it is flat and we do have tornadoes but we still have beauty if you look. In June or July go out and see acres and acres of ripe wheat. When a little wind is blowing it looks like a sea of wheat. I have always said God made Kansas on the sixth day. He was tired and he rolled it out with a large rolling pin and said “now plant wheat and feed the world.” And we do.

Have traveled a lot. When in Europe people would ask where I lived and I would say Kansas and their eyes would get bright and say, “Oh, that’s where Dorothy lived.” I am sure they did not know where Kansas is located on the map, but they sure knew the movie.

We have always had hotels but we have not always had motels. When I was younger and when you traveled you stayed at a Tourist Camp or a hotel. Remember a place in New Mexico where mom and I stayed that they did not have a key for the room. Said no one ever bothered them. Mom and I put a chair under the door knob just to be safe. On this same trip we stayed close to Flagstaff, Ariz. Up in rugged mountains and did not have sufficient heat in our room. We stayed with the door wide open into the hall for heat to get into room. I had Kathy (about two or three) with me and the three of us slept together for warmth.

I took a vote from the three daughters and son-in-law on the color of the old ’41 Ford we had. This car was the girls car. Two votes for dark blue and two for black, but I think we all agree that the fender that always fell off was green. The right front fender. The girls would take it out and use all of the gas and when we went to bed they would take their dad’s car and push in the clutch and roll the car into the street before they started it. Then they would use all of the gas in it. Their dad would not have enough gas to get to work. One time Shirley lost the fender and her dad made her go find it and bring it back. The old car was a work car too. When we built the first house, money was hard to find. I worked at post office and had a check that we used for down payment on land. Enough money left over for chalk line, stakes and two shovels. We started digging for the footing. After the forms were in place for the footings we were ready to pour cement. Finally back to the car. We had a cement mixer, a pile of sand, cement and a hand driven water well. After the cement was mixed we hitched the mixer on the back of the ’41 Ford and drove it around to where we needed to dump the new load. We continued this until we had the footings all poured. This is doing footings the hard way back in the 50s. Wonder what we did with the old car. No cars were made during war years. Steel was needed for shells.

Back in the 40s and Mary Ruth and Shirley were in grade school, they were in Girl Scouts. I had the honor of being the leader for them. We had a great time. I always thought that I enjoyed it more than the girls. I remember how hard it was to get uniforms for all the girls and how we passed the uniforms down as the girls grew. One time all the Scout troops in Plainview had a big carnival. We had all kinds of games, music and laughter. Another time our troop hiked south on Oliver Street where there was a natural spring. Fun place to go. When we were hiking back everyone’s canteen was dry. We had used all of the water. We stopped at a farm house that had a pump in the yard. I asked the farmer if we could fill our canteens and he said no. I have often thought about that and wondered why. Long before the national scouts sold cookies our troop was making and selling them. We made one recipe and that was peanut butter cookies. Some of the girls worked with me in the kitchen and they would also run over to the grocery store and get supplies as we ran out. Some girls would sack and sell the cookies in our neighborhood. We never seemed to make enough. In the later 90s Plainview had an Alumni reunion. The girls made a float for the parade they were having and I went in to see it. There were a lot of my Scout girls there and I was asked to ride on their float. How nice.

I have made so many trips to the southeast part of Kansas. Since I was a young girl, we have stayed close to relatives in that area. My grandmother Honaker’s maiden name was Wrestler. She had a brother that lived close to Humbolt, Kan. He was my dad’s uncle. I called him Uncle Ben. He lived out in the country. He would talk about when he rode with Jesse James. I know I did not grasp what he was talking about at the time. I do remember him going out to the barn and milking the cows and he carried the big milk cans full of milk to the road to be picked up by some dairy. He would do this and be barefooted all the time. Snow or not. He had to be tough.

Wichita had two newspapers for several years. The Wichita Beacon and the Eagle. They merged and was called Eagle Beacon. We now have only one Eagle.

When I lived in Grove I surprised Bill with a new piano on a birthday. When we moved from Wichita we left his old honky tonk piano behind. He warmed that bench every night. Then the Moose Lodge bought a small organ and Bill became interested in that. I bought Bill an identical organ like the one the Moose had. We hid the organ the Moose had and put Bill’s in its place. Of course it was his birthday again when they called him up to the mike and asked him to play. Then told him that he better learn to play it as that was his birthday present from me. What fun. Later I took lessons from a great teacher. I was told I was good enough to play at church. After Bill died I didn’t seem to be able to touch the music as he asked me to.

Dennis, Kan., is in the southeast part of the state. This is where my mother’s family lived. Just west of Dennis is Benders Mound. A hill that you can drive around. In the 1870s a family named Benders lived on top of the mound. This was an inn for travelers to stop and eat and stay all night. When they had a traveler seated in a chair over a trap door they would spring a trap door, a door opened and they would fall into the cellar and then they would be killed. The Benders would take money, horses and all other possessions. Then bury the bodies. After the Benders were caught, the bodies were dug up for proper burial. My grand father James D. Reed helped dig the bodies. For more on this story go to Cherryvale, Kan., and there is a Benders museum there.

I have several items that I have collected. Implants in both eyes. Of course I wear glasses. I have a pace maker. Screws and wires in my back. Dentures. A big hunk of metal serving as a hip joint. No more parts have been “cloned.” Think they left part of the stitches in my finger.

Five of us go out to eat a lot. Where to go. One night Kathy told us to decide where to go and she would take care of getting us hors d’oeuvres to nibble on for free. Good deal, but she would not tell where. We went past a Chinese we like, went north on Broadway. She passed Doc’s. She passed Savute’s, passed Strouds Corner. We are getting hungry. She turned east on the new 96 hi-way to a dead stop. No place here to eat. Gosh she is turning the wrong way. What is she doing? She turned in to Wal-Mart. We were to each get a basket and follow her. Five of us single file, each pushing a basket. At the end of almost every aisle was a vendor. We were eating our free hors d’oeuvres.

Going to close now. Some day I will write some more. Hope you enjoy. Grandma Courtney, age 88.

He was a minister of the United Church of Christ and chaplain/historian for the Honaker Family Association. He was a founding officer of the Honaker Family Association and his photograph appeared with them in Honaker Family in America. A biographical story about him appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Summer 1997.

In Sep 2008, he wrote the following biographical narrative for official purposes attendant to his office as national chaplain general, Descendants of Washington’s Army at Valley Forge:

The American paternal roots of the Rev. Albert T. Elswick, a native of Bridgeport, Conn., are to be found in Virginia (1622), Maryland (1682), and Pennsylvania (1682), among the English, Scotch-Irish and German immigrants to the new world—except, of course, for his Cherokee great-great grandmother, a native of Giles County, Va., where he now lives happily in retirement, after 37 years in the active ministry.

Educated in the public schools of Bridgeport, Rev. Elswick went on to college in New Haven, Conn., graduating in 1966. Having long felt a call to the ministry, he enrolled in New Brunswick Theological Seminary, a seminary of the Reformed Church in America, perhaps better known as the “Dutch Reformed Church.” This seminary, established in 1784, is the oldest seminary of any denomination in the USA.

Graduating, and ordained to the Ministry of the Gospel in 1968, he accepted a call to a historic Dutch Reformed Church in upstate New York, serving there until 1977, when he was called to a Congregational Church in Massachutts, then affiliated with the United Church of Christ. Here he served until 1986 at which point an opportunity arose which enabled him to sing, “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” and he served a Christian Church of the United Church of Christ, in Shenandoah County, a few miles up the road from the first Virginia homestead of a Swiss immigrant ancestor. In 1994, after a ministry of seven years, he was called to another Christian Church, in Page County, where he served until his health made early retirement necessary in 1998.

He was in retirement in 1999 when a Dutch Reformed Church near Albany, N.Y. invited him to be its half-time pastor, and he moved back to New York until his final retirement to Virginia in 2005. He continues to do supply preaching from time to time.

In addition to his long-term membership in the Descendants of Washington’s Army at Valley Forge, based on the service of three ancestors who spent the infamous winter there, he is also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and several genealogical and historical societies.

Honaker Family Newsletter, Nov-Dec 2000 (with photograph): Al Elswick installed as pastor, by Ethie Moak—

The service to install the Rev. Al Elswick as pastor of Onesquethaw Reformed Church of New Scotland, N.Y., was set for the afternoon of 9 Apr 2000, but on that Sunday morning the area residents of Albany, N.Y. awoke to a swirling 13-inch snowstorm that led to cancelled morning services. My first thought was, “Oh no. What do I do with five dozen eggs worth of egg salad?” Fortunately, the Installation service scheduled for the afternoon was not cancelled. Considering the snowy road conditions and nearby areas getting much more snow than we did, we had a very good turnout. We sent two church members to get Pastor Al so he could attend his own Installation. He said they followed the snow plow down his street. Six ministers from area churches participated in the service, some of whom have known Pastor Al from seminary.

The Rev. Pamela P. Ennis led much of the service, the Rev. Joseph A. Loux Jr. presented the message, and our choir made a special presentation. We videotaped the event so Pastor Al could take the tape to Hungary to show his family. Following devotions, the Installation included an Invocation, Interrogation of the Candidate, Charge to the Minister, Interrogation of and Charge to the Congregation, Declaration of Installation, prayers, a closing hymn, and Benediction. The service was followed by a lovely reception with refreshments prepared by church members.

It is wonderful to know that Pastor Al will be with us for as long as we want; he says “ ’Till the Lord comes and gets him.” Thanks be to God for giving us such a great reward for our 18-month search for our new shepherd. It is such a joy to hear meaningful Biblical sermons each Sunday and to see our flock growing.

Honaker Family Newsletter, Summer 2010, by Rev. Al Elswick

Traveling in Time

As I pause to write this article, I am just getting into planning my summer travels. Probably you are too. I hope your travels will include a trip to Frederick, Md., for our family reunion. We will gather there to visit the area, and hopefully the actual land, purchased by our ancestor Hans Jacob Honaker in 1758. It is very special because of all the land bought, owned, and sold by Honakers in these United States in the past 250 years, this was the very first.

I can still remember my father saying, “Anybody who don’t own his own land is just purely sorry!” Perhaps someone in your family has expressed the same sentiment. I think it is an ancestral memory of life in Europe in times gone by, when relatively few people owned land, and their great hope and dream for America was to find their own place in the sun. Or as Holy Scripture puts it, “But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.” (Micah 4:4)

My own trip north this summer will be a mixture of business and pleasure. In a sense I will be partly retracing the steps of Hans Jacob, since his last home was just southeast of where I now live. I will also partly be retracing the steps of Peter Cline, father-in-law of my Abraham Honaker, Hans Jacob’s youngest son. I will be spending some time with friends in Berks Co., Pa., where Peter enlisted in the American Revolution and went on to spend the terrible and memorable winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge. Hopefully I will be able to pin down his original home in Berks County.

I also hope to do some more research in Frederick Co., Md., not only on Hans Jacob’s years there (1758-1765), but also on my ancestor John Elswick Sr., who came from what is now Calvert, Cecil Co., Md., to what is now Sharpsburg, Md., in the 1730s. He is the ancestor of all American Elswicks. And I hope to do some research on another ancestor, Robert Ratcliff/Ratliff who came to Frederick County in the early 1730s, also from eastern Maryland, and settled southwest of Hans Jacob. Robert is the ancestor of all Ratcliffs/Ratliffs in southwest Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and West Virginia. Both these families have married into the Honakers.

Pennsylvania and Maryland were the first American “homeland” of a great many of the earliest settlers west of the Blue Ridge in Virginia, Kentucky, and West Virginia (originally part of Virginia.)

Many of our forebears were “mountain people.” We may be apt to think they never traveled very far from where they were born. From at least the mid-1800s until World War II, this was largely true. My grandmother, Clara Etta (Journell) Elswick Green (1896-1977) was born at Obrion, in the northwest corner of Clay Co., W.Va., near the Braxton County line, and the farthest she ever traveled was to Madison, Boone Co., W.Va., where she lived out the last 50-some years of her life. Her mother, Melcena Tenell Cunningham Journell White (1869-1957) was also born at Obrion and came to Madison in later life, where several of her children had settled. She did log more mileage than my grandmother because, like many of the old people, she made the rounds of her children and stayed a time with each. She died just over the line from Clay County in Braxton County while visiting her oldest son. Neither of these ladies ever got more than about 100 miles from the houses they were born in.

Of course, things have changed dramatically in our own lifetimes. I was born in Bridgeport, Conn., and, not counting any number of summer trips to my grandmother’s in Madison, I have lived in Connecticut, then in New Jersey (while I was in seminary there,) then in Ulster Co., N.Y., where my first church was, then in Bristol Co., Mass., where my next church was, then in Mint Spring, Augusta Co., Va., while I served churches in Shenandoah and then in Page Co., Va. Then back to Albany Co., N.Y., and now—praise the Lord—back to Virginia, to Giles County, not far down the New River from where my ancestor John Elswick Jr. settled in 1745, and in the area where a good many other ancestors settled, and where, God willing, I will stay, until either the undertaker fetches me or the Lord returns, whichever comes first!

There is an old saying that the more things change the more they stay the same. All we have to do to understand that is to look back at the life and travels of our ancestor, Hans Jacob Honaker (1718-1796.) In 1987, Nadine Larson published a wonderful book, the predecessor of our Honaker Family in America by Frieda Davison. It is entitled Hans Jacob Honegger—From Switzerland to America, in which she traces his ancestry back to the early 1500s.

Hans Jacob was born in the village of Wermetzhausen, in the parish of Hinwil, canton Zurich, and baptized in the Reformed (Calvinist) Church there on July 24, 1718. I have often wondered if his Reformed faith influenced many in later Honaker generations to have an attraction to, and preference for, the Primitive (Old School) Baptist Church which believes and teaches very much the same Calvinist theology.

As a young man he made his first move to canton Basel, to the village of Amt Muenchenstein in the parish of Pratteln. There, on June 20, 1747, Hans Jacob Honegger, carpenter, married Anna Bleyler. The listing of his occupation as “carpenter,” (zimmermann in the German) is very interesting because he is also listed as “carpenter” in his Frederick Co., Md., deeds. Of course, he may have been the first of the Honaker gunsmiths and perhaps his only surviving rifle was on exhibit in Abingdon, Va., a few years back. Honaker Family Newsletter had an article on that at the time.

Hans Jacob and Anna’s only child, Hans Jacob Jr., was baptized in the Reformed Church of Pratteln on Apr. 14, 1748. This area of Switzerland was on the Rhine River, which rises in Switzerland and flows north and west to empty into the North Sea, west of the major Dutch port of Rotterdam. In this period of time, things were not going too well in Europe (when have they ever!) and for nearly three quarters of a century German speakers and Scots-Irish had joined the earlier English and Dutch immigration to the new world, the greatest wave of immigration to America until the late 1800s and early 1900s, and more recently, the incalculable illegal immigration into the USA from south of the border. Of course, these people, as all European immigrants, before and since, were legal immigrants. They had to receive permission from their own governments to leave their homelands, and those who came from outside the British Isles had to take an oath of allegiance to the kings of England (and later to the USA.) These are the people who with their descendants have made America into the “shining city on a hill” which it has been down to our own lifetimes.

Hans Jacob was fortunate to be among those who received permission to leave Switzerland and go to America. The record states that there were three in his party—himself, a carpenter aged 32, his wife, 24, and their year-old son. Because of their poverty they did not have to pay the usual fees and the record lists him as “a good Christian.”

On or about May 8, 1749, they took ship in a convoy of four immigrant ships and set sail down the Rhine to Rotterdam, a trip of about six weeks, passing through 36 customs houses.

Once at Rotterdam, the passengers boarded two sea-going ships, the Honakers aboard the Crown, with 497 other emigrants, and after a brief stop at Cowes, England, set sail for the land of opportunity far across the Atlantic Ocean. The journey in the crowded ship, only a step above the much-publicized slave ships of the time, was unspeakably horrible and it is perhaps little wonder that Anna and little Hans Jacob died at sea and were consigned to the deep. The grieving widower and father arrived alone at the Port of Philadelphia Aug. 30, 1749. It would not surprise me if he wanted to, or actually did, kneel and kiss the ground—I know I wanted to when I came down I-81 and crossed into Virginia on Aug. 11, 2005!

Once on land, Hans Jacob and all the over males over 16 were likely marched up to the Philadelphia County Courthouse to take the Oath of Allegiance to King George and to sign the list of new citizens. This occurred on the day of his arrival—August 30—and he was able (not all were) to sign his own name. He signed as “Hanss Jacob Honegger.” Thus with the stroke of a pen began a whole new life in a new land thousands of miles from his “Vaterland”—the land of his birth, the home of his ancestors for untold centuries.

To pay for his passage, and likely also for Anna’s if the ship had passed the midpoint of the journey before she died, like countless thousands of others, Hans Jacob became an indentured servant. The typical term was four years. No record has yet been found of his indenture, nor of the name of his master. Indentures were private contracts and normally were not recorded in public records, though in Virginia the indentures of children who were “bound out” are part of the public record—as is that of my ancestress Charlotte McKee Pierson in Augusta County. Hans Jacob was, perhaps, more fortunate than many “boundmen” since he would write (and presumably also read,) had a recognized and much needed trade, and possibly a sideline also (gunsmith.)

The only benefits due an indentured servant were room and board and medical care (such as that was) and when he completed his term—a suit of clothes and a horse. Without his master’s permission he could not buy, sell, or marry, and he was not allowed to vote.

It is revealing that Hans Jacob’s second marriage did not take place until a month and three weeks before his indenture would have been up—his master must have liked him!!! At some point in those four years of servitude, Hans Jacob had met his future second wife and the mother of his 14 children. Her name was Maria Goetz, also spelled Goss, and on July 8, 1753, they stood before the pastor of the First (German) Reformed Church of Philadelphia and vowed their love and commitment. The congregation , organized in 1727, is still in existence and still at the same Philadelphia location, though the present building replaced the one they knew, in the early 1800s.

They remained in Philadelphia for several years working and saving in order to purchase their part of the American Dream—their own land. Their first children were born in Philadelphia, but sadly we know nothing of their life there. About 1758 they headed “West” probably on what is now Route 30 to Lancaster, then York, then on to what is now Gettysburg, whence they headed south on what is now Route 15, to Frederick, Md.—a journey of about 165 miles—the first leg of their American journey which ended at Draper, Pulaski Co., Va., for him in 1796, and for her about 1805, a long, long way from his birthplace in Switzerland.

Settling near Frederick, Md., Hans Jacob located three adjoining tracts of land, called in the deeds “Mount Pleasant.” Traditionally in Maryland each parcel of land had its own name. John Elswick Sr.’s 180 acres at Sharpsburg, Md., was called “Elswick’s Dwelling” from its first survey in the 1730s almost up to the time of Lincoln’s War. Sad to say things are not so cut and dried when it comes to the 122 acres called “Mount Pleasant.” And, as they say, thereon hangs a tale, so stay tuned for “the rest of the story.” Or better still, come and see for yourself!

Sylvia’s parents separated and divorced before she was two years old. She was reared by her Creger grandparents in Wythe Co., Va. They lived on a farm raising cabbage and potatoes. At a very young age, she helped out with housework and whatever needed to be done.

She attended schools in the neighborhood of Sand Mountain. She attended Berea Christian Church. At sixteen, she married Walter Robinson and from that marriage were born six sons. While raising these boys, she was employed as a presser in the local shirt factory in Wytheville. She kept house, sewed for the boys and did her canning while holding down a job. Her husband’s health was not good, so often he was unemployed.

Lucille was a wonderful homemaker and sewed, crocheted and did beautiful applique work. She was a good cook and energetic, never complaining or questioning her lot in life. Being very close to her, I realized she had a beautiful inner faith which sustained her to the end.

She married Charles Bridges as her second husband, and they enjoyed several years of companionship. She outlived two husbands and four of her six sons and I never once heard her complain or question these events. She bore them bravely and went on about her life.

She had a great appreciation for the little things in life and was always happy. She died 2 Oct 2000 from an illness that had just been diagnosed that week.

She married, second, Charles Bridges.

Good Housekeeping, May 2000: A Difficult Patient—Garnet and Steven Honaker, with photograph, inset cutline “Nurse and patient in the exam room at Smith Clinic in Marion, Ohio, where they first met.” [The story and photo also appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Winter 2013.]

Steven Honaker was Garnet Cochran’s last patient on what had been a particularly busy Thursday. He was also her least favorite. Ever. For starters, when she met him in the exam room and asked him a routine question about his medical history, he grumbled that nurses who ask the same questions should “learn to make copies.”

“For some reason,” says Cochran, 51, an orthopedic surgical nurse with a honeyed voice, “he just really irritated me on a personal level. Usually, with patients, I just ignore it, but with him…” It was different. Honaker, 50, then a heavy-machinery service technician, had gotten his arm mangled while working on a conveyor belt in a steam generating plant in Manchester, Ohio. By the time a friend drove him to an orthopedic surgeon’s office in his hometown of Marion, he’d suffered through a restless night on her couch.

Cochran, meanwhile, had spent a stressful morning assisting in surgery, and a busy afternoon scheduling patients who would have to be operated on that Saturday. When she slapped Honaker’s x-rays onto the view screen and saw the fracture in his arm, any remaining hope of a weekend dissolved. But when she told him they’d fit him in on Saturday, she got a surprising response. “No,” said Honaker. “I’m not doing this on Saturday. I’m not going to miss the Ohio State football game. What about Sunday?”

“I’m not devoting my Sunday to you,” Cochran replied. A debate ensued. Tempers flared. And Cochran ultimately told her stubborn patient that he had three choices: “We can do it on Saturday. You can find another surgeon’s office. Or you can leave as is and be crippled for the rest of your life.” Then she left to fetch the doctor. “I told him, ‘He’s all yours.’ ”

Honaker and the physician reached a compromise: Surgery would take place on Saturday, but a local anesthetic would allow Honaker to be awake for the procedure and the subsequent game. Two days, one 7-in. metal plate, and six screws later, Honaker’s arm was put back together. But the promised local anesthetic had apparently been a ruse: Honaker slept like a baby through the 4-hour procedure—and the football game.

When Cochran noticed one Steven Honaker listed on the appointment schedule two weeks later, she coached herself to stay calm. “I told myself to put my professional mask on.” But Honaker, it turned out, was a new man. “He walked into the room ahead of me, turned around, and said, ‘Before you say anything I’d like to apologize for my rudeness when we met.’ ” By the time she’d taken out the sutures, all, it seemed, was forgiven. But when it was time for him to go, her patient lingered in the doorway. “I wanted to ask her out,” Honaker explains. Before he could, the doctor suddenly appeared, recognized his testy patient, and asked, “Is there a problem?”

Honaker left. But when he got home, he called the office to try again. After a pause, Cochran agreed to a date, “and it’s been downhill from there,” jokes the twice-widowed Honaker, who lost his second wife in 1992.

Their first date “was a terrible meal, but a great time,” says Cochran, who is divorced. A week later, Honaker invited his nurse to his home for dinner, meeting her at the door with a dozen yellow roses.

“Maybe I was still trying to make up for something,” he says coyly. It worked. After two years of keeping company and a bit of wrangling over the wedding date (“I told him we’d never be able to find a hall or a band on New Year’s Eve”), they were married on Dec. 31, 1999, surrounded by friends and their six grown children. Both report smooth sailing so far. “We just get along so well,” says Cochran. Of course, it helps, Honaker adds, that his wife is so patient—“and forgiving!”

Daily Telegraph, Bluefield, W.Va., 22 Jul 2009, McPherson leaves legacy of preserving Mercer’s history, by Greg Jordan: Princeton—A local historian who spent much of his life rediscovering and preserving the early

history of Mercer County is well-remembered by the people who admired his efforts and worked by his side. Darrel Blaine McPherson of Harmon School Road in Princeton was 75 years old when he passed away July 18 at Princeton Community Hospital. He was among the founders of the Clay Memorial Park Foundation, said Tom Farmer, the foundation’s current president.

McPherson spent much of his time preserving the Calfee-Wall House, a structure that was one of the original homes of Mercer County’s first settlers, Farmer said. Preserving the home meant taking it from its former site on New Hope Road and finding it a new location. “They got a special grant and permission to move the house to Glenwood Park,” Farmer recalled. “He helped put that house back together — they totally dismantled it—log by log, stone by stone, brick by brick.”

McPherson also labored to preserve Mercer County’s written history. He spent a great deal of time at the Mercer County Courthouse and other courthouses to compile information about the county and the descendants of the early settlers. “I met him when he was an educator, a teacher in Mercer County Schools,” Farmer said. “He was a good-hearted man. And probably even greater than the Calfee-Wall house was the work that he and recently deceased attorney William Sanders did. Together they gathered information and research about the first permanent settlers in Mercer County, which happened to be Mitchell and Phobe Belcher Clay.” McPherson and Sanders helped prove that the first settlement was located in what was once “Clover Bottom,” now called Lake Shawnee, and found the location of the settlers’ cemetery off of Route 10.

He was also a member of the Mercer County Historical Society. “He was a very hard worker and very earnest about what he did,” Farmer said. Bluefield Daily Telegraph Managing Editor Samantha Perry said she always respected McPherson’s dedication to historical projects in Mercer County, as well as his humble nature. “He was so instrumental in getting the Wall Cabin moved to its current location at Glenwood Park,” Perry said. “He worked diligently and selflessly on that project, and he made it happen. I also admired his humility. He did not take on these projects for public accolades. He did it to protect and preserve the county’s history.”

He married, first, Patsy Ann Avery (called Pat), daughter of Thurman Alonzo Avery and Mazie Alger, 10 May 1956 in Bramwell, W.Va. The marriage was recorded in McDowell Co., W.Va. Children:

Estelle’s sister Joyce wrote an article about Estelle’s family for Honaker Family Newsletter, Nov-Dec 2001, accompanied by two photographs of Estelle and Bill—Putting Love on Hold

A. William Ayers, my brother-in-law, died 14 Jan 2001 in South Charleston, W.Va. He and my sister lived a life of sacrifice but achievement, a story reflective of their time and place in history. It’s a time which is passing us by, if it hasn’t done so already, and we need to remember, and tell our future generations of descendants, how it was.

Bill was born 4 Aug 1923 at a coal camp where his father worked in Algonquin, Mercer Co., W.Va. He was the only child of Lawrence Clayton and Glada Mae (Pennington) Ayers, and moved with them to other coal camps as his dad followed the available employment. He ended up in Big Stick, Raleigh Co., W.Va., where he graduated from Mark Twain High School, which is no longer there, in 1939. He was in the senior play and a member of the year book staff. U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.) also attended the school.

My sister Estelle Verla (Treadway) met Bill at a Honaker Family Reunion in Beckley, W.Va., introduced by our cousin Pauline and her husband John Eller. In due course, they became engaged, but put the marriage on hold until Bill completed business school in Roanoke, Va.

With the outbreak of World War II, however, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, with thousands of other patriotic young men, in Dec 1942. After basic training, he was transferred to Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., for several months of Signal Corps training, followed by service in Germany. With V-E Day, Victory in Europe, his unit got orders for the Pacific, but by the time the troops were halfway there, the war ended. Bill became part of the historic Army of Occupation in Japan.

When he mustered out as a private first class in 1946, he went back to Roanoke, receiving a Business Administration & Commercial Science degree at National Business College in Roanoke, Va.

Bill and Estelle still waited to marry while he looked for employment. He found it with Carbon Fuel Co., a family-run coal business in the Kanawha Valley Bank Building, Charleston, W.Va. The marriage continued to be delayed until Bill, living in a rooming house, was able to save a little money.

They finally married 17 May 1946 in Pomeroy, Ohio, and moved into Ordnance Park, a tract of modest houses built for naval ordnance plant workers during the war. Because so many were returning from military service, the housing had been hard to find and was sold to veterans on a lottery basis. Theirs was the next to last name drawn and then it was six months before the former occupants moved out.

Their first child, Gregory Lawrence, born 13 Sep 1947, was 18 months old when they finally moved in. Their second, John Clinton, was born 29 Nov 1949, followed by Rebecca Jean, 27 Feb 1953 and William Henry, 26 Aug 1960. The children have enjoyed lives of accomplishment.

Gregory Lawrence graduated with honors from Morris Harvey College, Charleston, W.Va.; and from Ohio State University School of Law, Columbus, Ohio. He was employed by the State of Ohio penal system, then the Ohio Appeals Court. He argued four cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and won three of them. Now he is working for the West Virginia Appeals Court. His wife Linda Sue (LeRose), from St. Albans, W.Va., teaches Spanish at Capital High School, Charleston. Their daughter Natalie graduated from Ohio University in 1999, their son Christopher is working on his master’s degree from the University of Maryland, and their daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie) is a freshman at West Virginia University.

John Clinton graduated with honors in Civil Engineering from West Virginia University, Morgantown. His wife Barbara Jean (Powell), from Parkersburg, W.Va., teaches French in Raleigh Co., W.Va. Their son John, as a Civil Engineering senior at West Virginia University, received the Art Livingood Scholarship from the Pittsburgh, Pa., chapter of the American Concrete Institute; and the university’s Presidential Award for Excellence in Scholarship, having earned a 4.0 gradepoint average in his last semester. In Oct 2001 he was inducted into the Golden Key National Honor Society, and is now pursuing graduate study, with scholarships, in Civil Engineering at the University of North Carolina.

Rebecca Jean attended Concord College and Morris Harvey College, and teaches at First Baptist Church, St. Albans. Her husband Billy Gene Cottle is from St. Albans. Their son Andy graduated from St. Albans High School in 1995 and earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration-Finance from West Virginia University, magna cum laude, in 1999. He is employed by A.B. Dick Corp. in Pittsburgh, currently in Manchester, N.H., working on the A.E.S. granite project as a project accountant/cost engineer. Their daughter Elizabeth (Libby) is attending Marshall University in Huntington.

William Henry attended West Virginia University, Morris Harvey College, and Marshall University, and is a sales representative for York Co. His wife Barbara (Garrison) works part-time for Manpower, Inc. Their daughter Luci Donoughe is a ninth grader at Winfield [W.Va.] School.

When I think back, I remember my sister’s devotion to Bill when I was growing up at home. She would wait every day for the mail, and lock herself in her room to read his letters. They had it rough. They never owned a car until the 1950s. But they withstood hardship, survived, and raised a wonderful and productive family. Bill has been laid to rest, but he will be remembered and missed.

She married Alpha William Ayers (called Bill), son of Lawrence Clayton Ayers and Glada Mae Pennington, 17 May 1946. Born 4 Aug 1923 in Algonquin, Mercer Co., W.Va. Died 14 Jan 2001 in South Charleston, W.Va. Buried in Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens, Prosperity, W.Va. He was Baptist, was interested in investing in the stock market, and enjoyed golf and playing cards.

“I hope we can get to the association reunion this year. I really miss it. My brother Clinton Bryant Honaker, Jr., “Junior,” helped build the New River Gorge Bridge. He took Bob and me for a ride under the bridge and I don’t want to go on that road again.

“Anyway, one day probably 21 years ago, I went home and mom and dad told me to go downstairs. They wanted to show me something. It turned out to be mom’s dad Jake Honaker had made a pie safe and they rescued it from the home . The old farm house was burning down. She said no one else in the family wanted it and she wanted one of us to have it. Well I made her happy. I said yes, I was glad they rescued it. They had it renewed, and I brought it home. I hope a museum takes it. Colonial Williamsburg said they were looking for a piece of furniture from the 30s. This was built in the 30s. Maybe this they don’t want. We can find it a good home.

“My grandparents Jake and Bertie had ten sons in the military and they all came home. I asked my mom when I was about seven or eight, maybe younger, ‘What are all the stars on grandma’s window,’ and she said each star was one of her brothers. I was puzzled.

“Well as you know I have lost a lot of my family. Out of 13 only five of us are left. I am the oldest, 82 now.

“My mother made me promise her that I would keep going to the Honaker reunions. All of them are gone. It was strange. Uncle Jack in Florida passed away there and the very next day Aunt Mary Ann passed away in Oregon. Thus ending mom’s family gone. I miss them all. Patty Wall’s brother Bobby Glen passed. He was a year younger than me. I’m sure she has notified you. I hope she will be at the reunion this year.

“I really like my cousins in Indiana, Donna and Walter Honaker. There are nice people at our reunions.” --Joyce Chiras, 1607 Fir St., Waynesboro, VA 22980

In April 2016, Joyce sent a letter to the Honaker Family Newsletter, which was published in the Summer 2016 issue:

“Grandpa Jake Honaker was a big man. I used to see him coming down the road on a horse and I felt bad for the horse. Grandpa was I think 6 ft. 8-in. or close to it, and grandma was 4 ft. 5-in., very short. They and their children were very patriotic. During World War II all their sons were in the military service, and they all came home.

“One year when I was eight years old I wanted to stay over at grandma’s for a week and mom and dad would come and get me the next Sunday. When I got up the next morning, they were listening to the news. It was December 1941 and the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor. Uncle Jack said the Japs would bomb Beckley [W.Va.] next. He started teasing me, saying ‘You probably won’t see your mom and dad again,’ and of course I believed him. I just knew the Japanese planes were flying up in the sky.

“Well, I ran out of the house with all I had with me, which was the clothes I had on, a blue store-

bought dress. I’m not sure how many miles it was from Beckley to Saxon, but I took off running and Uncle Jack was yelling for me to come back and that I would get lost or a boogie man would get me. My only thought was to go home and see if mom and dad were still there. The next thing I knew, I could see grandpa on a horse and he was calling my name. I stayed down and hid.

“When I finally thought he was gone, I did not go out in the road. I stayed close to the woods. I was so dirty and tired, and knew no one, but I remembered Aunt Lakie lived in Glen Daniels. I finally got on a tar road and knew she lived up this road. I finally got to her house and she was shocked to see me. She kept asking ‘Where is Clinton and Nettie?’ She also ran a tub of water and had me take a bath I was so dirty. She washed my clothes and dried them, and the next day she called our neighbor Mrs. Walker and asked her to get my mom or dad. She told dad on the phone, ‘I think she walked all the way here from Saxon,’ and she was going to put me on a bus to Beckley.

“I was never so happy to see my dad when I got there. And guess what? He kept laughing at me. He said he was going to kick Uncle Jack’s butt.

“Maybe if I make it to the next reunion, I can tell this story there.”

Charlotte [N.C.] Observer, 20 Oct 2002 (with photograph): Mrs. Annette Yvonne Treadway, of Matthews, became an Angel in Heaven, after being one on earth. After a courageous 5-year battle with breast, liver, and brain cancer, she went to be with her Lord on Oct. 15, 2002, while she was in Florida visiting her mother and the beach she so dearly loved. Annette was a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in Beckley, W.Va. in 1958, and then went on to become a Registered Nurse graduating from St. Mary’s School of Nursing in Huntington, W.Va. in 1961. In 1971, Annette, her husband and two daughters relocated to Matthews, N.C. so her husband could finish his 22-year career in the U.S. Navy at Camp Lejeune and then the Navy Reserves in Charlotte. Shortly after moving to North Carolina in 1972 Annette became a devoted and caring nurse at Mercy Hospital Main, in Charlotte for over 30 years. She was dedicated to her profession and her patients. She loved working and taking care of her patients more than anything; even when she was on chemotherapy she pulled herself together and went to work to take care of others. Even at her weakest she wanted to be able to go back to work. She took care of her family most of all, never judging always prepared, always thinking ahead. Never once did she forget a birthday or special occasion; never did she put herself first. She did not want to leave this earth because she did not want to leave her best friend, her husband, Howard. Never once did he leave her side; he would pick her up and together they would face the next day. One day they will be together again eternally. Annette is preceded in death by her father Walter F. Walney. She is survived by her mother Ethel Yvette Walney, of Ocala, Fla. She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband and best friend of 38 years, Howard A. Treadway; two daughters, who will try to carry on her caring and nurturing ways and live life with the memory of a beautiful and loving mother, Theresa Lynne Berry and husband Sam P. Berry of Indian Trail, N.C., and Anita Craig-Bennett and husband David Michael Bennett, of Pineville; three grandsons she so deeply loved, R. Justin Craig, Christopher Lee Caston, and Robert Calvin Craig III (Bobby); two step-grandsons, Brikk M. Bennett and Ethan Gage Bennett; her sister who she loved so much, Rita Yvetta Gwinn and husband Rex Randolph Gwinn of Taylor, S.C.; her nephew and oldest Godson, Timothy Lee Gwinn and wife Lora and their three children, Stephanie, Michael, and her youngest Godson Matthew, of Philadelphia, Pa.; nephews, Anthony Bryan Gwinn and Stephan R. Gwinn, and niece Michelle Yvette Gwinn, all of Taylor, S.C.; and many, many, many more brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces and nephews, and special friends.

Nancy grew up in the Mountain View community, where she spent many childhood summers on Claytor Lake in its early years with her grandparents. She graduated from Dublin High School in 1950. In the 1960s, she managed the Colonial House restaurant in Dublin, a business she owned with her husband and parents. In 1976, she signed on for the adventure of a lifetime when she agreed to work with her husband as a team for Baggett Trucking, hauling explosives and other materials to military bases across the country. Trucking for over 30 years gave Nancy the opportunity to visit 48 of the nation’s 50 states, gathering stories and friends from coast to coast. Nancy personified the definition of spirited. She was vivacious and determined in all of her endeavors. Even in her final months, she was set on living life. She was also incredibly kind and compassionate, being the type of person who sought to find the best in everyone. She loved sharing stories about her many travels, as well as stories about growing up in the local area. Her interest in history and genealogy led her to become a charter member of the New River Historical Society, as well as a member of the Count Pulaski Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution; she was very proud of her heritage. Nancy was also a member of the Dublin Eastern Star chapter. She is preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Duane Farris, and her son, Michael Anthony Vickers. Left to remember Nancy are: her daughter, Sharon Vickers Hardy, son-in-law, David Hardy; granddaughter, Jena Hardy, all of Pulaski; stepson, Dr. Mark Farris of Morganton, N.C.; along with many close cousins and friends. Visitation will be held Mon., Dec. 9 at Seagle Funeral Home from 5 to 7 p.m., followed by a funeral service at 7 p.m. with Rev. Teresa Tolbert officiating. A small burial service will take place Tue., Dec. 10 at 1 p.m. at Highland Memory Gardens in Dublin. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to help cover funeral expenses. Donations can be sent to Thomas M. Seagle & Sons Funeral Home, P.O. Box 602, Pulaski, Va. 24301.

Southwest Times, Pulaski, Va., Aug. 5, 2013: Michael (Mike) Anthony Vickers, 47, of Pulaski, died Fri., Aug. 2, 2013 at Carilion New River Valley Medical Center. He was born July 28, 1967 in Radford, and was a graduate of Marion Senior High School. Upon graduating, he attended East Tennessee State University. Mike was an outgoing man who never seemed to meet a stranger and once you met him, he was hard to forget. He had an incredible sense of humor and could always lighten the mood with a joke. He was also a faithful University of Alabama football fan, so everyone who came to know him soon learned the importance of the statement, “Roll, Tide!” Mike was the son of Nancy Halsey Farris of Pulaski and the late Anthony (Tony) Vickers of Hiwassee, and the grandson of the late Jeff and Vadalene Halsey of Pulaski and the late W.H. and Elizabeth Vickers of Dublin. Left to remember Mike is his sister, Sharon Vickers Hardy of Pulaski and her husband, David and niece, Jena Hardy; brother, Carl (Kip) Vickers of Blue Ridge and his wife, Elaine, and their three children, Jason, Brittany and Toni Carol; stepbrothers Keith Dunagan of Wytheville and his wife, Tammy, and their daughters, Tabitha Duncan and Kelly Dunagan, Dr. Mark Farris of Morganton, N.C., K.D. Farris, Jr. of Pulaski; sister, Lora Evans of Atkins and her husband, Steve, and her children, Jamie Tolliver, Kathryn Keast and Rachel Robinson. Mike also leaves behind his dog, Sally, who he considered just as much a member of his family as his human relatives. Visitation will be held at Seagle Funeral Home in Pulaski on Sun., Aug. 4, from 5 to 9 p.m., followed immediately by a funeral service. Interment will take place on Mon., Aug. 5 at 1 p.m. at Highland Memory Gardens in Dublin. The Rev. Teresa Tolbert will officiate.

On 8 Jul 2001 her family’s mobile home was displaced and seriously damaged by a Wyoming Co., W.Va., flood caused by 11-in. of rain over a 4-hour period, which rendered homeless 700 people. Flooded homes blocked roads in Jesse, Lynco and Wyoming, W.Va. A photograph of Susan’s home appeared in Honaker Family Newsletter, Sep-Oct 2001.

Register-Herald, Beckley, W.Va., 26 Feb 2002: Wyoming Report—Jesse resident takes pride in her work, loves family, enjoys life, by Mary Catherine Brooks, Wyoming County Bureau Chief

Susan Sluss grew up in Oceana, but now lives in Jesse, about four miles away. “I moved a long

way,” she jokes. She entered the banking field just after college, going to work at Peoples Bank of Mullens for the first time in 1985. “My major was office administration.” She recalled a counselor at Marshall University asked her why she wanted to major in office administration, telling her it was only “paper clips and glue.”

In 1989, she became administrative assistant and today, serves as the branch manager of Peoples Bank’s Pineville location. “I guess I got what I wanted,” she adds of her degree choice. Sluss emphasizes the customers are the most enjoyable part of her job. “A satisfied customer is the best part of my job,” she said. “I enjoy being able to help people with their financial needs, and everyone has them.” Her job responsibilities include much more than “paper clips and glue.” She oversees all the employees, handles new accounts, time certificiates and loan applications, the complete gamut of services. Her typical day is “busy, but rewarding.”

“It makes you feel good at the end of the day that you’ve helped people,” she said.

In her leisure time, Sluss enjoys spending time with her family. She and her husband, Greg, have two children, Sunny, a sophomore at Alice Lloyd College, and Matt, a sophomore at Oceana High School. Together, they enjoy NASCAR and football. “For the past 10 or 12 years, we’ve followed the races. We like to go to Charlotte [N.C.] every year and we’ve gone to Bristol [Tenn.] a few times. “You get hooked on this stuff,” she added with a laugh.

Additionally, she enjoys reading. Her favorites are mysteries and suspense novels. “I have a couple of friends and we trade books,” she said. Sluss prefers paperback books as opposed to hardcover. “I want something that if it gets wet, it doesn’t matter,” she said. Working full time and having two children has not been an easy task. “It takes a lot of sacrifices. I’ve had a lot of help from my family with my children.” Sluss notes she is most proud of her children. As for her philosophy of life, Sluss believes, “If you work hard, then good things come.”

She married Gregory Paul Sluss. Born 14 Jan 1960. Children:

Middle row—Aaron Jarvis, Corey Woolung, Andy Kaucher, Kyle Rosenberger. Back row—Alex Kinzler, Jared Moles, Kyle Gillman, Eric Kaufman.”

Union County’s 8th grade boys basketball team had a fun time last week, beating Connersville, 26-17. “I was happy with the win and the kids enjoy beating Connersville,” UC Coach Bill Webb said.

The low scoring game found US having a good night on defense, but struggling on offense with turnovers. “We controlled the boards, but our turnovers were high,” Webb said. UC scoring—Buckland 2, Hughes 5, Wollyung 4, Rosenberger 2, Gillman 2, Woodruff 3, Kinzler 4, Moles 4.

UC beat St. Michaels too. A trip to Brookville last week provided UC’s 8th grade Pats swamped the Trojans, 55-29. The lopsided victory was a pleasing experience for the US coach. “We did a much better job of taking care of the basketball—only nine turnovers,” Coach Bill Webb said. Kyle Rosenberger and Kyle Gillman topped UC’s scoring chart with 10 points apiece. Other UC scoring—Jarvis 7, Hughes 6, Moles 6, Woodruff 7, Kaufman 1, Woolyung 6, Gibbs 2.

Liberty [Ind.] Herald, unknown day and month, 2002: Union County High School Senior paints school mural—Desire meets duty; Art at work—Student puts talent to use to fulfill community service requirement, by Pam Tharp, correspondent

Liberty, Ind.—Deputy school treasurer Grace Atkins wanted a mural in her new office in the Red Brick Building. Senior Sam Kaufman needed 40 hours of communithy service to fulfill Union County High School’s graduation requirement. Desire met duty on the 22-ft. wall above the bookcases in Atkins’ office, producing a mural that when finished will show seven school entrances, both present and past.

The design includes the entrances of Liberty Elementary School, the College Corner School, the Red Brick Building, Union County High School and Middle School, the administration building sign and the front doorway of the demolished Short High School.

“It was a bit overwhelming at first because it’s so big,” Kaufman said of the mural. “I’d come in and look at the wall and then go home. My art teacher helped a lot , encouraging me to take it little by little.” It was high school art teacher Amelia Brier who thought of Kaufman when Atkins asked for a mural.

“I knew Sam would be perfect. He’s an excellent artist. This would be a new experience on a larger surface and it would challenge him. You can’t get far enough away from it while you’re on the ladder, so you have to get down off the wall all the time to look at it,” Brier said.

Kaufman starting painting only a year ago but has been drawing since kindergarten, when he won $10 in the “Just say No” poster contest with a picture of a ninja turtle. He plans to pursue a career in illustration or graphic design. Photos of the mural will be valuable addition to his portfolio as he appplies to art schools, Brier said.

The Class of 2002 is the third Union County graduating class that must fulfill the 40-hour community service requirement. Only one student has failed to graduate because of the requirement, principal Connie Rosenberger said. The service requirement was added so students would become involved in their community, Rosenberger said. There was grumbling at first, but now students seem to accept it, she said.

“In a small community it’s important to learn the value of community service, so when you graduate you already know how to give back. It becomes natural,” Rosenberger said.

Kaufman has more than enough hours now to fulfill the requirement, about 60 hours so far since July. The mural must be completed by November, when the trimester and Kaufman’s schedule changes, he said. He paints in the school corporation treasurer’s office each morning during first period.

“Sam’s doing a good job,” Atkins said. “I wanted something up there to give it color. He’s a lot of fun to have in here.”

An April 14 ceremony in the Pentecostal Church of God at Huntingburg united in marriage Pamela K. Coomer and Paul L. Honaker, both of Huntingburg.

The bishop sleeves and waist were accented by silk venise lace.

A matching picture hat of Schiffli lace was pulled up at the side by flowers and held a fingertip veil. The bride carried a teardrop bouquet of burgundy and pink wildflowers.

Maid of honor was Debbie Gentry, Evansville, a friend of the bride. Best man was James Honaker, Rt. 2, Birdseye, the bridegroom’s father. Ushers were Ronald Coomer, Huntingburg, brother of the bride, and Randy Gibbson, Loogootee, cousin of the bridegroom.

Liberty [Ind.] Herald, 5 Jun 2008: Letters to the Editor

Wake up Union County residents and get yourself educated on CAFOs. Steve and I have

been trying to farm since 1978. Steve and his family before that. We’ve raised two children in this county which both still reside here and a wonderful grandson. Our son is also farminig in this county. We’ve raised grain, hogs and cattle. Our family has always tried to be good stewards and manage these farms we’ve been so blessed with. We are all lifetime citizens of Union County and proud to be part of it.

April 23 when my family was told of CAFO(mega dairy) being planned next door, 990 feet

from my front porch, my stomach dropped. A mega dairy starting with 2069 head of cattle and two lagoons maybe three on 150 acres. Many thoughts ran through my mind.

Water—our well, our creeks, Whitewater State Park, the reservoir. Not enough water or

water contamination. Accidents do happen. Who will this effect? It’s very important to have good laws and ordinances enforced for these CAFOs to abide.

Roads—U.S. Hwy 27 is so busy I can’t image semi loads of milk, feed and manure moving

in and out 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The silage and manure will be hauled on our county roads which the county has enough trouble trying to keep them in good shape now.

Waste and Smell—Cows put out a lot of manure, they can drink 35 gallons of water a day

not counting water for clean-up. Open lagoons bring a strong smell, flies, mosquitos and starlings carrying diseases.

These are just a few of my concerns. We are a community that pulls together in times of need. I thought who can I call to get help with making good regulations and setbacks for DAFOs. My family, friends, true neighbors, Area Planning Board and Union County Commissioners. Which I want to thank you for all your time, hard work, sleepless nights and very longs days. God knows Renay Hoke doesn’t want this mega dairy built next to my home or by anyone else’s home for that matter. I can understand why people from other countries would love to come to Union County. It’s a beautiful place to live and raise a family. As they are planning for this dairy to come to our county there are families planning to relocate because of it. Is this a good choice for Union County? I pray for Gods will, not mine, for he always knows best. signed Renay Hoke, Liberty

Liberty [Ind.] Herald, 29 May 2008 (with photograph, cutline “Several Union County Veterans took part in two community Memorial Day Services on Monday. Pictured above, at the West College Corner service, left to right are: U.S. Navy Veteran Gary Moon, WW II Veteran Paul Weers (Union County’s oldest living veteran), U.S. Army PFC Benjamin Adams and U.S. Air Force Veteran Robert Napier.”

Past, present, future, Memorial DayServices, by Bev Woodruff, staff writer—

Past, present and future came together on Monday for the Memorial Day Services in College Corner and Liberty. The past, Union County’s oldest veteran, 95-year old Paul Weers; the present, U.S. Army PFC Benjamin Adams and the future, several youth including several Scouts attended the services. Weers is a World War II Veteran and Adams returned from a tour of duty in Iraq on Thursday, May 22. Weers and Adams lowered and raised the flags during both services. Another World War II Veteran, 94- year old Ellis Abernathy, was recognized durling the Liberty services.

Although Weers and Abernathy are older than Adams by more than 75-years, the three men and others like them share a dedication to country the nation will be eternally in their debt for. Featured speaker, U.S. Air Force Veteran Robert Napier, addressed the country’s indebtedness to our fallen soldiers in his speech. Napier said each life lost contributed to the evolution of our country. He quoted U.S. Army General Patton.

“General Patton once said during a Memorial Day Service, ‘In my mind we came here to thank God that men like these lived rather that regret that they died.’ ” Napier said, “I ask that today you embrace these words in their entirety.” Napier reminded those attending the service our country stands tallest when we stand together. “As we stand together today on this 142nd anniversary of Memorial Day, we are reminded that the cost of freedom comes with a high price in human terms,” Napier said. “And as we as a nation mourn the lives lost, we celebrate the lives lived and are forever grateful.”

During the College Corner service Napier pointed out the flag flying in the cemetery once flew over the U.S. Capital in honor of the veterans of the VFW Post #1472 in Liberty. More than 100 people attended the College Corner services. Twenty-one boy scouts and cub scouts took part in the services. Among the scouts participating was bugler Eric Ramey of Boy Scout Troop #40. Ramey played taps for both services. A 7- man firing squad fired a volley of shots for the services and a four person honor guard displayed the flags. U.S. Navy Veteran and Chaplain Gary Moon closed the services with a prayer.

Napier dedicated the day to the fallen veterans. “We dedicate this day to you, our comrades, and vow to devote this day wholeheartedly to the preservation of your memory.” Napier said, “For it is you, our fallen, who have made the ultimate sacrifice giving us a past, and in giving us hope and memories that will propel us into the future.”

Iraq Veteran returns home, by Bev Woodruff, staff writer—

In life we often think we have our futures laid out and then something happens that changes everything. Union County resident Benjamin Adams experienced just that with his enlistment in the U.S. Army Reserves. Adams, a 2007 graduate of Union County High School, returned home from a tour of duty in Iraq last Thursday, just in time to participate in the Memorial Day services in Union County. Adams and World War II Veteran Paul Weers were in charge of lowering and raising the flags for the services. Weers is Union County’s oldest surviving veteran.

Adams enlisted in the reserve for two reasons: one, he wanted to play in the Army band: two, he wanted to earn money for college. Although he is eligible for veteran’s benefits for school, the army needed him in Iraq rather than in its band. “I love music and joining the reserves seemed like the only way I would be able to go to college.” Adams said.

After graduation from high school, Adams attended basic training at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina. Following basic, he was sent for job training at Ft. Lee near Richmond, Va. The Army trained Adams as a Supply Specialist. “I knew when I enlisted there was a good chance my unit would be activated.” Adams said.

That chance became reality when Adams’ unit, the 478th Engineering Battalion, was activated on Feb. 2 of this year. The 478th home base is Ft. Thomas, Ky. The unit was sent from Ft. Thomas to Ft. Benning, Ga., for preparation and processing. That preparation and processing took about one week, then the unit was sent to Iraq via Kuwait. In Iraq Adams spent his time inventorying and ordering supplies for the 476th. “Our mission was route clearance,” Adams said.

Although most of his time was spent at a duty station, he did occasionally travel around the area. “The kids there loved seeing us (military) drive by.” Adams said “They would wave at us.” According to Adams, his unit enjoyed passing out extra food to the kids along the routes they traveled. “As far as I could tell the locals loved seeing us there. They were nice to us, and they were going about their lives.” Adams said. Although his unit was about 100 strong, for most of his duties Adams worked with about 15 other Army personnel. During his time in Iraq, he developed a good friendship with five other guys. “The majority of my friends were mechanics,” Adams said. Adams said he felt able to the task of serving in Iraq. “We were well prepared,” Adams said.

Good communications systems in Iraq helped Adams to stay in touch with his family in Liberty. He is the son of Brad and Wanda Adams. His brother, Jacob, is a student at the Union County Middle School, and his sister, Eizabeth is a student at Union County High School. “They have three phone systems you can use. ATT, DSM, and Spa War.” Adams said. “There is also a decent internet system.”

Adams expects his active duty status to revert to reserve status on or about June 6. He hoped to spend the remainder of his six-year enlistment on reserve status. His immediate plans include spending about a month in Michigan then returning to his old job at the Co-op Country Corner. College is still in his future, but he wants to get his feet back on solid ground in Union County before making definite college plans.

Register-Herald, Beckley, W.Va., 20 May 2015—Oak Hill—Curtis Trent Honaker, 37, of Oak Hill, passed away on May 18, 2015. Online condolences can be sent to . Arrangements are being handled by Melton Mortuary and Cremation Center.

Melton Mortuary Obituaries: Curtis Trent Honaker (with photograph)—Burial Date May 22, 2015. Visitation will be at the Freedom Ministries at Daniels from 5 to 6 p.m. for family and 6 to 9 p.m. for friends. Funeral will be Friday at 1 p.m. at Freedom Ministries of Daniels. March 27, 1978–May 18, 2015. Curtis was born on March 27, 1978 at Appalachian Regional Hospital. He was the second son and youngest child of Gladys and David (Davy) Honaker, little brother to Tracy and Tammy Honaker. Curtis was raised a devout Pentecostal and attended Arnett Assemblies of God throughout his youth. He may have fallen away from God in his late teens, but after conviction and the earnest prayers of his mother and grandmother Mary, found his way back to the Father. He was called to ministry as a young man and soon found himself traveling to different churches to spread the Word as an evangelist, once even to Jamaica, a memory he loved to share. He married and fathered four children, all sons whom he adored. He attended Calvary Assemblies of God faithfully and encouraged his children in their spiritual growth. Curtis once even offered his pulpit at a preaching appointment to his eldest son who seized and cherished the opportunity to preach just after his father. Curtis held steady employment at different locations in different lines of work, and made many and good friends everywhere he went. He had a contagious smile, an infectious laugh, and an easy going sense of humor. He was quick to listen and he genuinely cared for his friends and family. After his devastating cancer diagnosis, it became his personal mission to make someone’s day, everyday, and bring smiles to the faces of everyone he met. Following a divorce, Curtis met and married the love of his life, Amanda Rose Honaker. The two began attending Freedom Ministries where he became an assistant pastor and taught adult Sunday school classes. They also opened their home for Bible study once a week with friends where Curtis would always lead the study with powerful knowledge, wisdom, and insight supplied by the Holy Ghost. Curtis always believed a man’s first ministry was his home, and he worked hard to be a spiritual leader for Amanda, his four sons, and two step sons. He fought his battle with a smile, even in the toughest times. He made videos of practical jokes he pulled on friends who came to visit and shared them on Facebook for all to see. He still danced with his wife even after cancer wreaked havoc on his body. He quickly became his nurses’ favorite and funniest patient. More often than not, he would comfort friends and family who came to visit; on his sick bed, he became the comforter instead of being comforted. His ministry will not end. He has touched so many people, and nothing, not even a physical death, can keep his light from shining.

He married, first, unknown. They divorced.

He married, second, Amanda Rose Unknown. She brought two sons to the marriage.

He had four sons, mother(s) unidentified.

564. Judith Ann[7] Gordon (called Judy) (Helen Virginia[6], Nettie Frances[5], George Walter[4], Melvina[3], Margaret J.[2], Abraham[l]). Born 7 Feb 1935 in Belspring, Va., as were her mother, grandmother and great grandfather. She attended Belspring Elementary School and Dublin High School, graduating in 1952 in the upper fourth of her class. In high school, she was a member of Beta Club and others dealing with home economics and Christian values. She was active in the Belspring Methodist Church and a member of its board as a teenager.

In 1954, she and Clyde Blackwell were married in Belspring Methodist Church. Their first daughter was born in 1957 and the next daughter was born in 1968. During this time, Judith did not work, but chose to stay home with her children. She was twice honored with a life membership in the Women’s Society of Christian Service [became United Methodist Women] in two churches—Thrasher United Methodist Church, Vinton, Va., and Huntington Court United Methodist Church, Roanoke, Va. During this time she was active in children’s choirs as well as singing in the adult church choir. She worked in the church office, performing secretarial duties as well. She also became a member of the Roanoke Valley Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as United Daughters of the Confederacy on the service of her ancestor, Robert Andrew Carden, who married Melvina[3] Journell/Jennelle, above.

When her youngest daughter was ready for school, Judith returned to school as well. She finished a two-year secretarial course specializing in the legal field in 1976, the same year her oldest daughter finished high school. Judy applied for a scholarship to take the certified professional secretarial exam, obtained the scholarship and was certified. When the children finished school, she left her job as office manager and secretary to the director of the Roanoke Regional Office of Social Services, Commonwealth of Virginia.

Then she devoted all her time to her best hobby—genealogy. She took advantage of all classes and haunted the Virginia Room at the Roanoke Public Library, and attended family reunions. Her children often laughed and said they were the only children who picnicked in cemeteries while their mother searched for ancestors. Many rolls of microfilm were read and thousands of trips to courthouses were logged, but she never tired and was always ready to go again. She had many records for her husband’s family lines of Blackwell, Hale, Martin, Lampey, etc., as well as her own lines of Creger, Grubb, Carden, Gordon, Hamblin, etc. Originally beginning with typed records, in 2001 she had large data bases on a new computer. She also maintained hard copies. In her search for ancestors, it was necessary for her to become knowledgeable in history, mapping and geography, as well as photography. Genealogy, she felt, was not just about recording facts, but all the little stories and events occurring at the same time.

In 2001 Judith also was occupied with church activities including teaching, singing in the choir, newsletter reporting, and co-chair of Kitchen and Ways and Means Committees. It was her intent to be a better Bible scholar and she devoted time for two classes—one during the week and one on Saturday afternoon. As were her parents, she was employed at the election polls for her precinct in Floyd Co., Va. Her remaining time was given to assisting others and her own genealogy search.

She married Clyde William Blackwell, son of Moses Abraham Blackwell and Lottie Attaway Hale, 11 Jun 1954 in Belspring [Va.] Methodist Church. Born 16 Jan 1929 in Roanoke, where his father was employed with the Viscose Company. When he was four years old, they returned to Floyd Co., Va., and purchased a farm adjoining the Blackwell grandparents. He attended Check Elementary School and graduated from Check High School in 1947. While in school, he was active in Future Farmers of America and helped his father on the farm, leaving little time for extracurricular activities. In 1950 he entered the U.S. Army and served for two years. During that time he was a motor pool clerk with Service Co., 30th Infantry Regiment, Ft. Benning, Ga. He mustered out as a private first class.

After the Army, Clyde became a truck driver and eventually worked for Southern States Cooperative, Inc., supplying dairy and chicken feed to farmers. From there he secured employment with Rowe Furniture Corp., Salem, Va., delivering furniture to furniture stores from Florida to Maine and west to the Mississippi River. He retired from Rowe with nearly 30 years service and an excellent safety record. He then began driving trucks for H.T. Bowling, Inc., and in 2002 had been with them for ten years. He also farmed, raising hay and beef.

He belonged to Stonewall United Methodist Church and was a trustee and an usher. He was heavily involved in an addition to the church, serving as a member of the building committee as well as doing carpentry work. In 2002 Clyde loved to farm and to work with animals and spent most of his spare time in that endeavor living on the land that has been in his family for nearly two hundred years.

While in high school she worked at a retail fabric shop and developed a talent for sewing and related hobbies such as knitting and tatting. In 2002 she was an export order analyst with Elizabeth Arden, Inc., (since 1998); had worked years without missing a day and annually received recognition for this accomplishment. She was a member of Huntington Court United Methodist Church and had sung in the choir there. An avid amateur photographer, she traveled extensively to workshops and photography shoots. She owned several cameras and hoped to eventually be able to process her own film. She was interested in nature and taking care of our resources. She traveled to an orphanage in Brazil with a group from her church; took an

interesting trip to Prince Edward Island to observe and photograph polar bears; and enjoyed visiting her parents’ farm, making pictures and observing nature at its best. She also worked in stained glass, presenting her creations as gifts to members of the family.

565. Frances Virginia[7] Gordon (called Tessie) (Helen Virginia[6], Nettie Frances[5], George Walter[4], Melvina[3], Margaret J.[2], Abraham[l]). Born 29 Nov 1936 in Belspring, Va.

Gordon; honorary pallbearers were Bob Paul and L.T. Dudley. She was a photographer.

In 2002 her sister Judy wrote the following about her:

Frances was born at the home of our grandparents, James A. and Virginia Tabor Gordon. She came 21 months after me. Dr. Robert Chumbley also delivered her as he had her mother Helen and me. Our small family then returned to Winding Gulf, W.Va., where we were living while our father, George Gordon was working in the coal mines.

At the beginning of World War II, we returned to Virginia and Dad worked at the Radford Arsenal making powder during the war. Frances, nicknamed “Tessie” by me, attended Belspring Elementary School, then Dublin High School where she graduated in 1953. She was a cheerleader and a good student. She was an energetic, happy person with a good outlook on life.

She secured a worker’s permit at the age of 14 and worked regularly from that time forward. She enrolled at Radford [Va.] College majoring in Library Science. Due to financial and other problems, she did not complete her education.

She married Garfield M. Ramsey, Jr. Apr. 1, 1955, at Tyler Memorial Presbyterian Church in Radford, Va., now on the campus of Radford University. Garfield attended Photographer School in Jersey City, N.J., and Tess worked full time supporting the family during that time. While he was in school, Tess came home and had their first and only child, Rhonda Lee Ramsey Oct. 7, 1957. She and Rhonda returned to New Jersey, and stayed until Garfield finished his training.

They returned to Virginia, and Garfield accepted a position with a local photographer in Martinsville. He worked there for a few years and Tess retouched negatives for other clients to supplement his income and to be with their daughter, Rhonda. Eventually, they returned to Radford and opened “Ramseys Studio” across from Radford College where they had the contract for many years for The Beehive, the college annual.

They closed this studio and moved to Dublin, Va., opening their last studio, also called Ramsey’s Studio. For many years, they did the Pulaski County High School annuals under Tess’s supervision. She was a born business woman and loved to work with the public. She knew everyone and never forgot a face. She was a member of the Belspring Methodist Church, but transferred her membership to Garfield’s church, which was Tyler Memorial Presbyterian Church. She and Garfield were avid square dancers and belonged to a club that was very active. She was an excellent seamstress as well.

She had not been feeling well for a long time, and on Aug. 8, 1988 was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After much treatment, hospital stays which she abhorred, she lost the valiant fight and passed on Apr., 28, 1989. She left a grieving family and parents who never recovered from the loss.

Kelly and her cousin Aley appeared in a photo feature in The Kansas City Star’s Olathe [Kan.] Neighborhood News, 21 Jul 2001, Sheep show draws youth to fairgrounds

Area youth recently traveled to the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Gardner to participate in the Spring Sheep Show. At left, Kelly [McGuire] (left), 13, of Spring Hill and Alexandria Lies, 7, of Gardner are both members of the Prairie Star 4-H Club. At left, Alexandria Lies took [first] place in the fitting and showing competition with her lamb Micky.

A column, Area 4-H Club Updates (possibly the same newspaper above,) contained the following writeup on the Prairie Star club, by Kelly McGuire, president, and Robert McGuire, secretary, accompanied by a two-column photo, courtesy of Kelly, of her cousin Aley; cutline—Aley Lies, 7, shows her pig at the Johnson County Spring Swine show. Lies is a first-year member of the Prairie Star 4-H Club.

When it comes to helping others out, the Prairie Star 4-H Club does its part, and more. The club has had food and school supply drives for the local food pantry and needy families. Club members even held a country-western dance, which was open to the public. Cans of food were collected as part of the entrance fee. Children learned how to line dance, two-step and waltz. The 4-H club has adopted a needy family at Christmas, and club members bought Christmas presents for the children. Helping out at the Meadowbrook Rehabilitation Hospital haunted house is just one more way these young persons are fulfilling their 4-H pledge by helping others.

Several club members have had success of their own. Jeff Pio won state with his self-deter records, and he is going on a trip to Atlanta. Two club member have become Johnson County Ambassadors—Kelly and Robert McGuire. They helped start a new 4-H club and helped at county club days and the livestock auction.

The club also has an active mini 4-H program, which consists of six children who are too young to be in 4-H but have older brothers and sisters in it. The older 4-H members plan activities for the mini 4-H’ers. The Prairie Star 4-H club has 47 members and several involved parents. Many of the parents were in the club when they were children, and Sue Pio has been the club leader for 20 years. These long-standing and involved members have made the club successful.

Hans Jacob Honaker 1718—1796

This past September I had the pleasure of visiting the Honaker house and farm in Draper. Meagan Pratt graciously gave Jena and I a tour of the grounds; Meagan is presently occupying and renovating the house. The Pratt Family had an estate auction at the house back in August, which I missed. I had wanted to see inside the house for a few years ever since I found out my ancestor was Hans Jacob Honaker who was the original land owner. The farm has been in the family since 1784, it was passed down to Meagan’s grandfather Don Pratt.

Hans Jacob Honaker was born in Hinwil (Canton of Zurich, Switzerland) and was christened on July 24, 1718. He became a carpenter. It had always been hard to earn a living in Switzerland. There was “great talk” about favorable jobs and opportunity in the New World. It is not known when Hans Jacob decided to migrate to America, but sometime before he was 30 he moved to Basel, Switzerland which was the principal place for people migrating from Zurich to America. He married Anna Bleylor on June 20, 1747 in Prattelin (just outside Basel.) Ten months later they had a baby boy and named him Hans Jacob. On May 8, 1749, they left coming to America. The voyage was very treacherous, and there was a great deal of sickness on the ship. Anna and their son died on the trip while crossing the sea.

Hans Jacob arrived on the ship “Crown” in Philadelphia on Aug. 30, 1749, listed under the name of Honnegger. Upon his arrival, he had no money, so to pay off the debt for the cost of his voyage to America, he became an indentured servant.

He married his second wife, Maria (Mary) Goetz on July 8, 1753. In 1755 their first son, Jacob, was born, (he was named after the first child of Hans Jacob) then in 1756 Henry was born, followed by their third child Frederick in 1757. Jacob migrated south; his name appears in Frederick Co., Maryland on a land deed dated Apr. 10, 1758. While living in Maryland, two more sons were born to Hans Jacob and Mary: Peter, around 1762, and Benjamin, around 1764. After approximately seven years Jacob sold his land and headed for Frederick Co., Va. On Aug. 2, 1765 he bought 97 acres of land on the west side of Passage Creek in Powells Fort Valley in the Shenandoah Valley and paid 5 shillings. In 1772 a new county was formed from Frederick County; Jacob’s property now lies in Dunmore County. In 1778, Dunmore was renamed Shenandoah County. The Honaker family had not moved since 1765, but in that time they lived in three counties in Virginia: Frederick, Dunmore and Shenandoah.

Five more children were born to the Honakers in Frederick Co., Va.: Joseph in 1765, Nicholas in 1767, Mary in 1768, Elizabeth in 1769, and Martin in 1770. Two children were born while it was called Dunmore County: Abraham in 1774 and Isaac in 1775; the last two were born in Shenandoah County: Anna in 1779 and Christiana in 1784. This made 14 children in all, ten sons and four daughters (the children’s birth years are approximate).

While living in the Shenandoah Valley, records show that three of Hans Jacob’s sons—Henry, Frederick and Peter—served with George Rogers Clark on his expedition of 1778 during the American Revolution. In 1783, Hans Jacob also served his country during the war by furnishing supplies and equipment; he was about 65 years old at the time.

On Mar. 25, 1784, Hans Jacob sold his 97 acres of land for 76 pounds, which he had paid five shillings for, and made a substantial profit. On July 26, 1784, Hans Jacob Honaker purchased 146 acres of land in Montgomery Co., Va. It is not known the exact date Hans Jacob and Mary, along with some of their grown family, arrived in Draper Valley. In 1790, Wythe County was formed from parts of Montgomery; at this time, the Honaker land was in Wythe County.

Jacob Honaker Sr. sold all his land to his son Henry (called the first) in 1795, and the same year he made out his will which is dated Aug. 12, 1795. The will was probated May 10, 1796, nine months after he had written it. He was about 78 years old when he died.

In 1804 Jacob’s son Henry Honaker (first) built the stone house which still stands today in Draper Valley. The date is marked in a center stone on the east end of the house between two attic windows. In 1839, the property was taken into the newly formed Pulaski County. Today it borders Interstate 81 between Pulaski and Draper. It is not known exactly where Jacob Honaker was residing when he died or where he is buried, and a grave marker has never been found. In his will he mentions that he had disposed of his lands and plantation, (where I now live) by deed in fee simple to Henry Honaker. Many have pondered over this; my thoughts on the subject are that Jacob lived in a log cabin close to where the stone house was built and that he probably passed away there and is buried in an unmarked grave on the Honaker land. There is a very old log spring house which still stands today; I believe he would have lived close to a source of water.

The Honaker Family Association and Count Pulaski Chapter DAR are making plans to place a commemorative marker in honor of Hans Jacob’s service during the Revolutionary War. The marker will be placed at the Honaker Farm in Draper. This event will take place the 2nd weekend of August during the annual Honaker Reunion which is being held in Pulaski County this year. If you would like more info on this event you can email me at hardy.sv@

A memorable, historic, awesome day!

August has been a very busy month at my house. I’ve been preparing for the Honaker reunion and also the dedication ceremony to honor our ancestor Hans Jacob Honaker with a Revolutionary War patriot marker. My two “sister cousins” arrived on August 8. They usually come for their annual visit in the spring, but was postponed so they could attend the reunion and ceremony. We started off the week with our traditional visit to Montgomery County Courthouse; unfortunately we didn’t uncover any family secrets, but I am glad to report I didn’t come away empty handed. I found several marriage records and wills to add to my collection of family files.

For our next outing we visited the Historical Society of Washington County Virginia headquartered in the old Abingdon Train Station. This is another great place to do research, but just plan to stay several hours when visiting this location. While there I found more information on one of my Covey ancestors who settled in Abingdon in the late 1700s.

On Fri., Aug. 12, the Honaker picnic was held at Randolph Park. I met lots of kinfolks who came from all across the U.S. that came for the weekend festivities. I think the family who traveled the furthest was [Larry and Shirley Honaker] from Oregon.

Saturday morning started off with the annual business meeting followed by the “Good Time Auction.” One of my lucky finds was a reprinted edition of a book [Hans Jacob Honaker—From Switzerland to America] with information dating back to the 1500s on the Honaker family written by Nadine Larson. I’ve been searching for this book for quite awhile.

Saturday afternoon, a dedication ceremony was held in Draper on the original land of Hans Jacob Honaker. The land was passed down to his son Henry who built the stone house in 1804. The house and land now belong to Meagan Pratt who descends from Hans Jacob and Henry.

The idea for placing a marker for Hans Jacob Honaker started a couple of years ago. Reverend Albert Elswick, [Honaker Family Association chaplain and historian] mentioned to me that it would be nice to honor our ancestor with a Daughters of the American Revolution marker. Hans Jacob had furnished supplies and equipment to soldiers during the American Revolution, and he also had several sons who participated in the war.

I started the application process soon after. I had to obtain advance permission from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Office of the Historian General to place a marker. Requirements included submitting documentation of dates and places of birth and death, patriotic service, residence of patriot during the war, proof of location associated with the patriot, and a written statement authorizing installation of the marker from the landowner.

Since it is not known the exact location of Hans Jacob’s burial site, family members agreed the original land would be appropriate for a commemorative marker. Once I sent the application off, it took about four months to process and approve. The next step was to select and purchase it from a firm that is authorized by Daughters of the American Revolution. After the order was placed, it took about three months to complete. After I received the plaque, I contacted a monument company in Pembroke, Va. who cut a special piece of granite to mount the plaque on. Meagan Pratt chose to place the marker in front of the original stone smokehouse that is believed to have been built by Hans Jacob. Eventually Meagan plans to make a flower garden around the marker.

Approximately 100 people attended the dedication ceremony; guests included Honaker descendants, officers and members of Count Pulaski Chapter DAR, Fort Chiswell Society CAR members, New River Valley Sons of the American Revolution members, special guests were Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution District IV Director Peggy Keen, and Ralph W. Honaker, founder and former president of the National Association of Hans Jacob Honaker Families, Inc.

Honaker descendants who participated in the ceremony included Pastor Mike Honaker from River of Life Church who gave the opening invocation; Clay Bane, president of the New River Valley Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, who led presentation of colors and musket salute; Judy Gordon Blackwell, registrar of Floyd Courthouse Chapter, DAR, who read a biography of Hans Jacob; Jennafer Hardy, Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution District IV chairman of public relations and media, who helped with the laying of a wreath on the marker; Meagan, Dean, Stuart, and Glenn Pratt, who helped with the unveiling of the marker; Hannah Pratt, who read her original poem; and Rev. Albert Elswick, chaplain of the Honaker Association gave the closing prayer. I dedicated the marker on behalf of all the descendants of Hans Jacob Honaker.

After the ceremony, a banquet was held at the Draper Valley Presbyterian Church. Family members enjoyed great food and good fellowship. Pat Zimmerman from Kentucky entertained the crowd by playing her dulcimer. Everyone had kept their fingers crossed all day Saturday, hoping that it would not rain; there must have been a lot of wishing, because it rained all around Draper Valley just before and during the ceremony, but only a few drops fell at the Honaker House.

Shortly after our arrival at the church, it began to storm and after the storm was over, there appeared the most spectacular double rainbow. I like to think that was Hans Jacob letting his family know he was watching over them. It made a great ending to a very memorable, historic, awesome day.

57.ii.i.iv.ii.ii. Quincy Brandon[8] Owens (called Chris) (Jean Ann[7], Gladys Louise[6], James Golden[5], James William[4], Andrew Jackson[3], Abraham[2], Abraham[1]). Born 5 May 1977 in Rushville, Rush Co., Ind. He graduated from Rush County High School, Rushville, Ind., in 1995. While in high school he lettered in football, track and basketball and was president of Spanish Club. He took a B.F.A. from the University of Indianapolis in 2006. In 2008 he was a teacher of ceramics and drawing at Herron High School, Indianapolis, was working toward an M.A. in Teaching at the University of Indianapolis, and had an art studio in Indianapolis. His media included oil painting, photography, printmaking and clay. His art had been shown in New York, Indianapolis and Louisville.

Visual Art, by Jim Walker, , 5 Jan 2005: Quincy Owens’ “Pop Tartan”, with photograph, cutline “Quincy Owens oversees the work of his sons (front to back): Grady, Robin and Noah. Owens will have his first solo show in Indianapolis this month.”

Quincy Owens grabs a metal bucket of sky blue house paint from a shelf in the tiny Harrison Center studio he selected, for the most part, because it included its own bathroom. When you have three children under 5 years old, as Owens does, close proximity to a toilet is crucial.

Those three honey-blond boys, with brushes in hand, wait for Dad to pop open the paint lid. Owens—a young and energetic father with baggy, paint-splattered clothes and a long goatee—crouches between them, smiling, as they dip their brushes and spread color on the small canvases he hung for them on the wall. A full-time artist, Owens usually brings his boys—Noah, 4, Grady, 3, and Robin, 1—along while he works in the studio and his wife, Nikki, works. A television and stack of kids’ DVDs help occupy the boys. But, just as often, they join in the creative process, painting or coloring their own pictures and offering Owens feedback on his work.

“Noah, especially, gives me nice critiques,” Owens says. “I like to see him think about what he sees. I don’t paint straight-forward pictures of trees or anything. So, for him to see the stuff I do in my work, which happens, is amaziang. It already gives him a different way to look at life.”

The Harrison Center at 1505 N. Delaware St., is hosting Owens’ first solo show in Indianapolis, Pop Tartan, in its gallery all this month with a Jan. 7 opening reception running from 6–9 p.m. Other Scottish-related activities—including samplings of traditional food and music—also happen that night.

Tartans are Scottish patterns that identified particular families. “Those were all about relationships,” Owens says. “That’s what a lot of my work focuses on. I had been incorporating lines that represented the divergent paths people take to get to the same place. This has taken me all the way to the tartans.”

An old chrome toaster Owens found at Value Village helped provide the impetus for the pop half of the show. He’s painted the toaster’s image several times, mixing this with other appropriated pop-culture images and his own family’s tartan patterns. The new work differs in many ways from the abstract splashes of color and texture that Owens created in the past. “People have told me that as different as these new ones are, it’s still clear they are mine,” he says.

The colors Owens chooses for his work are a major link. Just as in his earlier pieces, the new paintings radiate vibrant and happy colors. “I enjoy bright colors,” he says. “I like the kinds of colors kids like.”

Kids aren’t the only people who relate to these paintings. Even though Owens has shown here less than two years after studying at the University of Indianapolis, he’s been able to make a living at his art. Part of that comes from working hard at promoting himself—something he’s not ashamed of doing.

I’ve never had a problem getting a show. It’s not because my artwork is better than anyone else’s. It’s just because I asked,” Owens says. “I don’t want to portray myself as a businessman, but I’m doing this as a living.” And he’d like other artists to begin to see showing and selling art as an important part of the equation. “The worst problem with visual arts in Indianapolis is that so many artists sit in their studios and paint and don’t show their work,” Owens says. “You have to get out there or you’re going to have to have a day job.”

Making a living as a painter in Indianapolis can be challenging for an artist interested in edgy, non-decorative work. But Owens feels his paintings are both inviting and personal—inviting viewers to make their own interpretations and emotional connections while each one also means something specific to him. “I don’t think painting nothingness is possible when there’s so much going on around you—whether you have the kids in the studio with you or not,” Owens says, referring to some abstract expressionists’ claims that they painted nothing.

“Even if a painting was about nothing, there were the thoughts I had while painting it. And I attach those to it. If it doesn’t relate to my relationship with my wife or my family as a whole, then it always relates to being a father.”

Inside Indiana Business, 28 Apr 2005: Indianapolis to Project Artwork Onto Buildings

The Indianapolis Cultural Development Commission will turn the city’s landscape into a canvas for public art when it launches its 2005 Public Art Image Projections Project as a part of Indianapolis 2005, the city’s yearlong cultural celebration. A wide variety of visual art by Indiana artists will be projected onto various buildings around town during major events throughout the year.

The first set of image projections is slated for May 1-5 during the American Association of Museums conference, which will bring more than 4,600 museum experts to the city from across the country. Six images will be projected from sunset to midnight on the exterior walls of the Indiana State Museum, Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown and Hyatt Regency Indianapolis. The spiral parking garage ramps at the Indianapolis International Airport also will be colorfully illuminated. …..

“When we began the planning process last year, we wanted to bring public art to unexpected places,” said Christopher Vice, chair of the Department of Visual Communication. Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI and co-chair of the Indianapolis 2005 Environmental Wow Committee. “We plan to have very large images appearing, disappearing and reappearing on buildings all over the city throughout the year.” …..

The six pieces of artwork represent both contemporary and historic Indiana artists. Two of the five artists whose work will be projected during the AAM convention–John Domont and Quincy Owens–reside in Indianapolis. ….. “We were looking for works that enhance the look and embrace the spirit of Indianapolis in 2005, and these do that,” said Julia Watson, vice president of Indianapolis Downtown Inc., and co-chair of the Indianapolis 2005 Environmental Wow Committee. “We want to share with all of our visitors not only our diverse array of activities and cultural hotspots, but the great artists and artwork created here in this community as well.”

The names of the featured artists, their work and the projection locations [include] Quincy Owens, “Gimme a Kiss,” Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. ….. Quincy Owens has been a professional artist for only two years, but his acceptance and popularity in the Indianapolis art market has risen rapidly due to his passion for process. A strong portfolio, resume and list of collectors (both public and private throughout the Midwest, Southern states and the East Coast) have drawn the attention of the local media and the best designers in town. While he still shows his work at various galleries in the city and around the state, he now spends an equal amount of time aggressively pursuing other markets around the Midwest and in the South.

Author’s profile, , 2015, with photograph):

Jan Tilley was born and raised in northern Ohio. Enticed by the Atlantic Ocean, she later moved to

Wilmington, N.C., and now writes from a cabin nestled in the woods in rural Indiana. She has held a wide array of jobs throughout the years, including newspaper reporter, veterinary assistant, and public information officer for emergency management. But, her most important job has been raising her two daughters, Sara and Brooke. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Kevin, since 1985.

Jan wrote her first novel, Coming About, after her oldest daughter went off to college. It began as a purging of emotions, but as they always do, the characters came alive and took the story down a totally different path that she never expected.

She was then bitten by the bug andf is now admittedly obsessed with writing. Her second novel was a sci-fi endeavor titled Embody. She was a featured guest on The Kevin Smith Show where she discussed the ook in a live two-hour interview to a worldwide [talk radio] audience of over one million people. Rogue’s Hollow was her next release, which is a suspenseful ride, fictionally based on the like-named, spooky town near where she grew up. Next came Jasper’s Gift, which is the highly anticipated sequel to her first novel. Tilley loved revisiting her pals Sadie and Rachel. She said it was like going home to visit old friends again. I’m Not Listening is her latest release. Suspense and steamy romance make this a new adult favorite pick.

Tilley is an award-winning author who has been a guest speaker at multiple conferences and events. More then 100,000 copies of her books have been distributed worldwide. She will continue doing her best to entertain you for as long as you’ll welcome her into your lives!
