2 PLAC Washington,D.C.
1 NOTE CHILDHOOD:  I was born at the Hospital in Washington D.C. We were living on Nash
2 CONT Street in Washington, but by the time I was 6 weeks old we moved to a house on
2 CONT Route 1 in Hyattsville, Maryland. There I started school at Riverdale Elementary
2 CONT School. However by the next year we moved a couple miles north and two blocks
2 CONT off the Highway to 4417 Underwood Street, University Park, Hyattsville,
2 CONT Maryland.
1 NOTE MUSICAL ROOTS:  Growing up, I had a lot of artistic encouragement. At age 4 I
2 CONT took ballet lessons. At age 6 I started piano lessons. By age I started violin
2 CONT lessons. I never became a dancer like my father or pianist like my sister, but I
2 CONT am a violinist and am blessed to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather and
2 CONT his father before him. In high school I played second chair in the Northwestern
2 CONT High School Orchestra, Prince Williams County Orchestra, and Maryland State
2 CONT Orchestra.
1 NOTE COURTSHIP:  Our first meeting was at the Seabrook, Maryland, Congregation in the
2 CONT fall of 1959, when he was accompanying his friend Bob Quick and his family to
2 CONT deliver pictures Bob's mother Lillian had done. Our first meeting was
2 CONT uneventful. I remembered the family and their dark-haired friend.  In April of
2 CONT the following year, we met again at a party hosted by my friend, Carol Seckman,
2 CONT who had moved from Seabrook to Arlington, Virginia.  She wanted to introduce her
2 CONT old friends to her new Virginia friends.  Ed was tall and skinny, with a popular
2 CONT "Duck-tail" hairstyle, made popular by Elvis Presley.  He already had a white
2 CONT streak in the center of his forehead.  I remembered his as conversational and
2 CONT interesting to talk to.  However, since he lived an hour away, I never expected
2 CONT to see him again.  Then in May we attended a meeting to teach us how to canvas
2 CONT the local area for accommodation in private homes for delegates to the summer
2 CONT assembly.  I got excited thinking that I might see him again, but I never found
2 CONT him in the crowd.  But the day before the actual assembly began, I ran into him
2 CONT again.  He had been bullied into cutting his hair in a "flat-top" hairstyle, so
2 CONT I didn't even recognize him and brushed him off.  But by the next day I realized
2 CONT who he was, and he was there again.  From then on he was always around,
2 CONT traveling an hour each way at least twice a week for the next 2-1/2 years.
1 NOTE MARRIAGE:  On September 14, 1963, we were married in the same Seabrook Kingdom
2 CONT Hall, near Lanham Maryland where we had first met.  We had a full house of
2 CONT friends from both Maryland and Virginia and many of our family, including his
2 CONT parents, sister, and grandfather.  I had my three aunts (Lydia, Lelia, and
2 CONT Louise) as well as cousin Aloise Yowell and family.  We returned to my family
2 CONT home where daddy laid out a spread of food in the basement wreck room.  There
2 CONT were people everywhere.  My brother Eddie Garcia gave us a send off complete
2 CONT with gravel in all four of our hubcaps.  For our honeymoon we traveled all along
2 CONT Skyline Drive from the Luray Caverns to Natural Bridge.  
1 NOTE FIRST HOME: We lived in Greenwood Apartments at 7-corners in Arlington,
2 CONT Virginia. Soon I stopped working and we began a family. Three days after our
2 CONT second anniversary our daughter Eileen Rachel came along on Friday, 17 Sept
2 CONT 1965. A year later we moved to a townhouse in Manassas where our second daughter
2 CONT Emily Louise was born on Friday, 10 Nov 1967, which was Ed's parents
2 CONT anniversary. In 1974 we moved to Harrisonburg, Virginia, in the Valley and in
2 CONT 1969 to Man, Logan County, West Virginia. It is here that Andrea Marie was born
2 CONT on Wednesday, 10 August 1977 and Steven Edward on Monday, 9 July 1979. Steven
2 CONT was born on my father's birthday, so we took off with our 6-week old son on a
2 CONT 10-hour drive to present Steven to his grandfather who was still living on
2 CONT Underwood Street. Six weeks after we returned home my father died of unknown
2 CONT causes. 
1 NOTE FIRST JOB:  In high school I took short hand and typing which prepared me to
2 CONT land a job with the General Accounting Office. My office was next door to the
2 CONT State Department where I age lunch every day. After lunch my duties required me
2 CONT to stop by the news release room in the State Department before returning to our
2 CONT office next door. Although the new release room was always empty, on Friday 22
2 CONT November 1963 it was packed. As I fought my way to the front, I heard that
2 CONT President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, Texas. Before I could
2 CONT reach my office, the whole office was buzzing about the news. We would soon
2 CONT learn that he would not recover from the shot.

1 NOTE OTHER JOBS:  I was a stay at home mom until our last child started school.  At
2 CONT that point I tried selling Insurance for three years.  Eventually I went back to
2 CONT being a secretary.  This required learning computers.  I continued my training
2 CONT until I became certified as a Certified Professional Secretary.  
1 NOTE OTHER HOMES:  After the birth of our first daughter, Eileen, we moved form our
2 CONT one-bedroom apartment to a two-bedroom townhouse in Georgetown South, Manassas,
2 CONT Prince Williams County, Virginia.  Here our second daughter, Emily, was born. 
2 CONT In May 1973 we moved to Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, Virginia, to help out a
2 CONT congregation that needed Elders.  However, job opportunities were not good here,
2 CONT so after two years (July 1975), we moved to Kistler, Logan County, West
2 CONT Virginia, where a new congregation was being started.  Here our third daughter,
2 CONT Andrea, and our son, Steven, were born.  However, after staying here seven
2 CONT years, it became evident that Ed's parents, Jim and Gladys, needed our
2 CONT attention.  They were still living in Milford, Virginia, while Ed's only sister
2 CONT was living in Bryan, Brazos County, Texas.  So we all moved to Bryan in August
2 CONT 1982.  We lived here for the next 20 years.  Here Emily, Andrea, and Steven
2 CONT graduated from high school.  Emily had settled in Lafayette, Louisiana, with her
2 CONT family.  As Andrea and Steven finished high school, Emily coaxed them to move to
2 CONT Lafayette.  As soon as I was able to take early retirement from Texas A&M, we
2 CONT joined them and are now living at 101 Courtney Dr., Duson, Lafayette Parish,
2 CONT Louisiana, 70529.

1 NOTE His first name had to begin with an "L" like all his siblings after their mother
2 CONT Laura, but his middle names were after his great-great-grandfather, Walter
2 CONT Chisholm, and father, Napoleon Bonaparte Chisholm.  Of the family traits, he had
2 CONT many.  
1 NOTE His father had difficulty providing for his large family, so at 12 years old he
2 CONT went to Charlottesville to work for the local druggist and slept on a cot in
2 CONT back of the store.  He walked home every weekend and gave most of the money he
2 CONT earned to his mother.
1 NOTE Having been told that there were three things feared in Scotland, the Devil, the
2 CONT Pope and the Chisholms, he seemed to take this personally.  He was bullied by
2 CONT his older brother Lindsay, who enjoyed beating him up as a boy.  However, by age
2 CONT thirteen he turned the tables on his brother for the first time.  After that
2 CONT date he said that Lindsay never won another fight with him.  Although he later
2 CONT was adamant that my sister and I not fight to settle an argument, he often spoke
2 CONT of his young daughters.
1 NOTE He was quite a good cook.  He said that he learned to cook from standing by his
2 CONT mother in the kitchen.  Although not a fancy cook, his ability to cook helped
2 CONT him when he was selling cookware during the depression years.  He would put on a
2 CONT free dinner for a group of people with his "waterless cookware," and then show
2 CONT them how he used the special qualities of the cookware to make each delicious
2 CONT item of the meal.  He would complete the dinner with a pineapple upside-down
2 CONT cake baked in one of the pots on top of the stove.  
1 NOTE Although not a fiddle player like his grandfather, father, brother, several
2 CONT nephews, two daughters, granddaughter, and two great-granddaughters, he played
2 CONT the guitar.  He also liked to write poetry and combined this with his musicality
2 CONT to write music.  He wrote, "I'd Like to Tell the World How I Love You."  In his
2 CONT seventies he wrote two books.  The first, entitled "Your Child and You" was
2 CONT about how to revolutionize child rearing. The second, "How to Grow Young after
2 CONT Forty," included his personal philosophies and some sexual discussions.  
1 NOTE His musicality showed itself in his ballroom dancing abilities.  Some might say
2 CONT that he copied the style of Fred Astaire, he would tell you that Fred Astaire
2 CONT stole several of his moves.  He taught his nephew and niece, Andrew and Adelaide
2 CONT Rhodes (twins) to do ballroom dancing while they were young.  He would take them
2 CONT to dances, where he would show them off.  They were a good advertisement for
2 CONT him.  He taught ballroom dancing at night to make extra money.  
1 NOTE He graduated from the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, in June
2 CONT of 1925.  His transcripts show he maintained a B average the entire time he was
2 CONT in school.  According to the June 1925 yearbook he was a member of the Delta
2 CONT Sigma Chi Fraternity, the 100% Club, the Golf Club, and the Athletic Club.  It
2 CONT was said of him:  "He is always happy, never grieved, but, alas, sometimes
2 CONT peeved.  This gentleman from Virginia never misses a chance to trip the light
2 CONT fantastic."  To support himself while in school, he bussed tables and taught
2 CONT dancing.
1 NOTE When he returned home to Richmond, VA, he married Ruby White and began his
2 CONT practice of Chiropractic. His son was born, Lloyd White Chisholm.  He considered
2 CONT him a junior since the middle initial was the same.  However the White was given
2 CONT in respect for his grandfather (who by the way hated his son-in-law).  
1 NOTE At this time, the Commonwealth of Virginia did not recognize chiropractors, so
2 CONT he had to work under a "Practitioners" license.  To make extra money, he
2 CONT performed abortions on the side.  After 15 years, when a girl who had been
2 CONT observed to be leaving his office, bled later that day, he was charged with her
2 CONT death.  To his defense, he claimed that she had tried to perform her own
2 CONT abortion unsuccessfully and then came to him.  However he refused to work on her
2 CONT and sent her away.  In any event, she died and he was sentenced to 3 years in
2 CONT Virginia's penitentiary. Six months later he was pardoned by the governor and
2 CONT released.  
1 NOTE Not being free to continue his practice in Virginia, he now moved to Washington,
2 CONT D.C. with his family to try to start up a new practice in Chiropractic.  In
2 CONT Washington, Chiropractors could be licensed and practice legally. 
2 CONT Unfortunately, he found out that he would have to go back to school and learn
2 CONT pharmaceutical terms and pass a written test on this information before he could
2 CONT get that license.  He felt he was too old to go back to school.  He then tried
2 CONT to practice under another Chiropractor who had a license. It was through this
2 CONT woman that he met Angelina Montano.  Angelina wanted to learn Chiropractic, and
2 CONT had paid Dr. Forte, a woman doctor, $500 to teach her. She was promised a
2 CONT license after a certain number of classes.  
1 NOTE Of course this was illegal, and in fact she never got the promised license.
2 CONT Angelina was a beautiful Opera star who sang the lead part in such operas as
2 CONT Carmen with the Washington Opera Guild.  Dr. Forte had introduced Lloyd Chisholm
2 CONT to Miss Montano since they would be working together.  Miss Montano and her
2 CONT mother were taking in boarders, so Lloyd and his family came to rent from them.
2 CONT Eventually, his first wife left him because he became interested in Angelina. 
1 NOTE He gave up working for Dr. Forte, and went into his true calling -- sales.  He
2 CONT often boasted that he could sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo.  However since he
2 CONT never lived in Alaska, he had to do it his own way.  During the depression he
2 CONT sold a vacuum cleaner to a woman who had no rugs on the floor and he sold an
2 CONT expensive cookware set to a woman who had a wood stove.  With the first woman he
2 CONT noticed that when he tapped on the pad in her baby's playpen out on the front
2 CONT porch, a lot of dust came flying up.  To the second he reasoned that the pans
2 CONT were thick aluminum and they held the heat for a long time.
1 NOTE He eventually opened his own home remodeling company and called it "Cozy Home
2 CONT Improvement Company, Inc."  He had numerous salesmen and a more than one crew of
2 CONT workers with his son as his foreman, Angelina was the receptionist and Miss
2 CONT Edith Metier was the bookkeeper.  The company did very well for about ten or
2 CONT twelve years, when he went bankrupt.
1 NOTE First Angelle and then Agnita were born during the struggling years.  But he was
2 CONT soon successful.  Very shortly after I was born they moved out of Washington,
2 CONT D.C., into the suburbs of Hyattsville, Maryland.  For five years we lived on a
2 CONT busy highway.  He would often lecture us about playing near the fence which was
2 CONT next to the road.  Although allowed to play in the back yard, he scolded us for
2 CONT going out into the alley behind our house.  He was very afraid that a car would
2 CONT come speeding off the highway into the alley and we would be hurt.  Although
2 CONT Daddy didn't believe in hitting us, we were spanked several times over this
2 CONT issue.  Eventually he was thrilled to move again a few short miles up the road
2 CONT into a secluded neighborhood of University Park (a part of Hyattsville) in a
2 CONT lovely three story brick home a block and a half off of the same highway. The
2 CONT address was 4417 Underwood St.
1 NOTE It was while living at our new home that he went bankrupt, but he later became
2 CONT as a successful Real Estate salesman. He even had an appointment scheduled to
2 CONT show a house the day he died.  
1 NOTE After 30 years of marriage, my mother, Angelina Montano Chisholm divorced him. 
2 CONT He was very sad, but eventually married again at the age of 79 to a woman in her
2 CONT forties.  At the time she was only about 5 years older than I was.  He died
2 CONT after a year later. He left his entire estate to his third wife, Nell. It is
2 CONT interesting to note that she married her first husband who was an elderly
2 CONT gentleman from North Carolina.  Upon his death she inherited his estate that
2 CONT included his home in North Carolina.
1 NOTE BIRTH: He was born at home.
1 NOTE BURIAL: Buried in same cemetery with Mother and several siblings, on top of a
2 CONT hill near Charlottesville near Monticello.  His middle name is misspelled on his
2 CONT grave stone.
1 NOTE DEATH: Died in hospital after two weeks illness complaining from undetermined
2 CONT cause. 
1 NOTE Social Security Number:  579-01-9251 issued in Hyattesville, Prince Georges
2 CONT County, Maryland 20784.
1 NOTE NOTE:  Information from recollections of Agnita Byrl Chisholm Moore and Angelle
2 CONT Sylvia Chisholm Steinmetz.

1 NOTE BIOGRAPHY: Born in Tuxpan, Nayarit, Mexico, her mother worked hard to raise her
2 CONT as a single parent.  They left Tuxpan when she was only three and it was evident
2 CONT by then that her father would never marry her mother.  She never sees her father
2 CONT again after that.  
1 NOTE By the time she is nine, they finally make it to the United States.  I believe
2 CONT they start out in Arizona.  Her mother works for the family that supported her
2 CONT immigration.  Eventually when she has met her obligation to them, they move to
2 CONT Los Angeles where she finally enters school again.  They put her right into the
2 CONT 4th grade even though she doesn't know a word of English.  At first she
2 CONT struggles, but is glad when they give her a group of numbers to multiply.  She
2 CONT knew her multiplication tables well from 2-12, which she had learned in the
2 CONT Mexican school she had attended in Mazatlan.  Her first 6-months in her Arizona
2 CONT school are spent in a special class where she learns to read and write.  After
2 CONT this she is ready for the regular curriculum.  Soon she was excelling in all her
2 CONT school subjects. 
1 NOTE Eventually she completes two years of Junior college.  The school she attends is
2 CONT to train the girls to be missionaries.  There she meets a minister whom she
2 CONT marries.  Her voice is a tool to carry the mission to others. They had a son,
2 CONT born Lino.  When he was four they were divorced and she received a house as
2 CONT settlement.  
1 NOTE She studied voice under William Webster who had been a student of Enrico Caruso.
2 CONT  Her singing continued to improve and as a member of the Washington, D.C. Opera
2 CONT Guild, she sang the lead in Carmen in 1942.  She is given the honor to sing for
2 CONT the first Mexican President to visit President Harry Truman in the United States
2 CONT in about 1946.  One highlight of her opera career was when she was asked to sing
2 CONT for two presidents, U.S. President Harry S. Thruman and Mexican President Aliman
2 CONT who was visiting the U.S. for the first time.  She sang for them when they drove
2 CONT through the streets of Washington, D.C. after Aliman landed.  Later that night
2 CONT she sang again at a reception in Aliman's honor.

1 NOTE NAPOLEON (Nip) BONAPARTE CHISHOLM - named Nebuchadnezzar or Nebuchadrezar at
2 CONT birth; he went by the nickname "Nip."  However he never liked his name birth
2 CONT name, so he changed it to Napoleon Bonaparte.
1 NOTE According to one of the stories of Lloyd Chisholm (Nipe's son) young Nip got in
2 CONT trouble with the teacher for killing a bug, so he was punished and sent to the
2 CONT corner of the room.  The bug was bothering him, and he thought he had the right
2 CONT to kill it.  The teacher however, thought it was cruel the way he did it. 
2 CONT Finally when confronted with a knuckle whacking, he ran out of the school and
2 CONT never came back.  Therefore, without the benefit of these well-organized school
2 CONT districts, he hadn't learned to read and write.  However, after his marriage to
2 CONT Laura Belle Mullins, she tutored him to help him with his reading.
1 NOTE According to another story of his son Lloyd, Nip worked hard to learn to play
2 CONT the fiddle.  While still young, his father frequently warned him not to play
2 CONT open strings.  He scolded, "If you don't learn to use your fourth finger instead
2 CONT of the open strings, I will take your fiddle away from you." Eventually he
2 CONT caught him playing open strings one too many times, and made good on his threat.
2 CONT Undaunted, he made his own fiddle out of a cigar box so he could continue to
2 CONT practice.  Eventually, when he mastered the use of his fourth finger, his father
2 CONT gave him back his real fiddle. 
1 NOTE Greg Burrell adds to this a story he heard from Nip's youngest daughter Louise
2 CONT Yowell.  According to her, Nip learned to play the fiddle from his uncle Ben
2 CONT (Giannini -- a younger brother of his mother Catherine).  Ben could play the
2 CONT violin classically, and this is the style he taught Nip.  Nip was so impressed
2 CONT by his uncle's playing, that when only very young he would pick up two corn cobs
2 CONT and try to play them like a violin.  Seeing the boy's enthusiasm, his Uncle Ben
2 CONT got him a 1/4 size violin and began his training when Nip was only a young boy.
2 CONT Nip would go with his uncle and they would perform for many.  Eventually, Ben
2 CONT told Nip, "You've beaten me."  But humbly Nip would always assure him, "No, I
2 CONT will never be able to play like you."
1 NOTE Nip was often called upon to play his fiddle for local square dances.  Everyone
2 CONT was amazed that he was able to call the dances and while playing simultaneously.
2 CONT  According to his son Lloyd, he never learned to read music, although he used
2 CONT vibrato in his music. Once he traveled all the way to Chicago, IL, to enter the
2 CONT "Greatest Fiddler" contest. Despite the needle going off the chart, and being
2 CONT declared the popular winner, he didn't win. The final winner was based not only
2 CONT on skill but also on how many telegrams were sent for that fiddler. Some in the
2 CONT family dispute this contest story.  
1 NOTE However, to his granddaughter Charlotte Yowell, he will always be the best
2 CONT violinist she ever heard.  When she was a little girl, she remembers him sitting
2 CONT in her family kitchen after everyone had left for work, and entertaining himself
2 CONT playing classical violin by brams, chopin, list, tychicolski.
1 NOTE Nip was a carpenter who worked hard to support his growing family.  However, one
2 CONT day when driving a load of freshly cut trees from the field to the market, the
2 CONT wagon wrecked, pinning him between the logs.  When he was freed, the damage had
2 CONT been done, and the doctor had to amputate his leg.  At first, he cut below the
2 CONT knee, but after infection set in he had to amputate above the knee.  He learned
2 CONT to use his wooden leg well, even climbed ladders like the expert carpenter he
2 CONT was. 
1 NOTE A man came through Albemarle County putting to note old folk tunes.  He included
2 CONT a number of tunes that Nip Chisholm hummed to him.  This book was seen in the
2 CONT Library of Congress by my Aunt Louise Yowell, but I don't remember the man's
2 CONT name.  My cousin, Donald Lee Wright, who lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, as
2 CONT a young child, tells me that one day at his grandmother's house (my Aunt Lutie
2 CONT Rhodes), he heard a song played on the radio that the announcer identified as
2 CONT "written by Napoleon Boneparte Chisholm."
1 NOTE He built a lovely brick home for the family, however it eventually burned, and
2 CONT the family had to return to the original log cabin they had lived in before. 
2 CONT Cracks between the logs were so big, rather then get up to throw the cat out, he
2 CONT would often throw the cat out through one of these holes between the logs. 
1 NOTE Lloyd said that his father, Nip, was the local herbalist and that people came
2 CONT from miles around to receive herbs from him.  Need to check this out with other
2 CONT family members.
1 NOTE NOTE:  Information provided by recollections of Lloyd Walter Napoleon Chisholm
2 CONT to his daughters Angelle Sylvia Chisholm Steinmetz and Agnita Byrl Chisholm
2 CONT Moore.
1 NOTE MARRIAGE: His marriage to Laura B. (Nell) Mullins on 27 Dec. 1885 is recorded in
2 CONT the Virginia Marriages, 1851-1929 page 37 according to Ancestry.com Database.
1 NOTE DEATH: He died prematurely, still in good health, in an automobile accident.  On
2 CONT 6 July 1927 the Daily Progress newspaper of Charlottesville, Virginia, printed
2 CONT the following:  
1 NOTE "INJURY FATAL TO RESIDENT OF WOODRIDGE"  
1 NOTE N.B. Chisholm Dies at Daughter's Home on Belmont.
1 NOTE Mr. M. B. ("Nip") Chisholm, a well known resident and ante-bellum fiddler of
2 CONT Woodridge, died at 7 o'clock last evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
2 CONT L[loyd] H. Rhodes, on Belmont, as a result of injuries received in an automobile
2 CONT accident at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the Scottsville Road, about two
2 CONT miles from the city limits.
1 NOTE "It is said that while rounding a curve at a slow rate of speed, the car,
2 CONT containing four occupants, was turned to the side of the road to allow an
2 CONT oncoming machine to pass, but ran up on the bank and tilted over on its side.
1 NOTE "The occupants, Mr. Chisholm, Mr. L.H. Rhodes and a little boy and girl
2 CONT (probably Andrew and Adelaide Rhodes -- son and daughter of Lillian Rhodes),
2 CONT crawled out from under the car apparently unhurt.  Mr. Chisholm went directly to
2 CONT the home of his daughter, where he expired five hours later.
1 NOTE "Mr. Chisholm was 72 years of age and is survived by his wife, two sons and five
2 CONT daughters -- L. W. Chisholm of Richmond; L. H. Chisholm, of Woodridge; Mrs. A.
2 CONT W. Rhodes and Mrs. L. H. Rhodes of this city; Mrs. J.W. Yowell, of Greenwood;
2 CONT Mrs. Roy Yowell and Mrs. M.L. Arey, of Richmond.
1 NOTE "He also leaves one brother and two sisters -- Mrs. James Chisholm, of
2 CONT Greenwood; Mrs. Betty Smith and Mrs. Willie Smith, of this city.  
1 NOTE "The funeral will be held at the old home place near Buckeyeland at 2 o'clock
2 CONT tomorrow afternoon and the interment will take place in the family burial ground
2 CONT there."
1 NOTE According to Greg Burrell, the youngest son of Nancy Chisholm Burrell, Aunt
2 CONT Louise Yowell told him that Nip Chisholm learned to play the violin from his
2 CONT Uncle Ben Gianniny (Catherine Gianniny's younger brother).  Nip enjoyed hearing
2 CONT his Uncle Ben play so much that he would take two corn cobs and pretend he was
2 CONT playing.  Seeing this, Ben bought a 1/4 size violin and gave it to Nip and began
2 CONT to teach him to play.  Ben was an excellent violin player, but eventually he
2 CONT could see that Nip had become a more proficient fiddler than he was.  However,
2 CONT Nip would always say, "I can never play better than you, Uncle Ben."
1 NOTE When Greg was in seminary, training to become a Minister of Music for the
2 CONT Baptist church, he found a book written by Cecil Sharp, an English musicologist
2 CONT who traveled throughout the Appalachian Mountains recording folk tunes.  This
2 CONT was an extension of his studies in England.  Checking the book to see if Mr.
2 CONT Sharp had ever made it to Woodridge, he was shocked to see that he did and he
2 CONT mentioned conversations that he had with Louise Yowell.  According to Greg, Aunt
2 CONT Louise Yowell told him that Mr. Sharp and his assistant, Mrs Karpelas, would
2 CONT often end their day at their home since they loved Laura Chisholm's cooking.

1 NOTE Angelle Sylvia Chisholm was born to parents who were both beginning their second
2 CONT marriage, so she was special to them.  Because they both worked, she spent her
2 CONT days with her beloved "Ma," her grandmother.  Ma taught her many things, such as
2 CONT how to make scrapbooks using home-made paste.  But one of the most memorable was
2 CONT the "Who do you love" game.  She would ask this question, and Angelle would
2 CONT reply, "I love YOU Ma!"  But Ma would correct her, saying, "No!  Who do you love
2 CONT FIRST?"  Then Angelle would think, and say "I love GOD", to which Ma would say
2 CONT "That's right!...and next?"  Then she would say "You, Ma," "and next?"  "Daddy,"
2 CONT "And next?" "Mama."  "Right" Ma would reply.  They played this game often and
2 CONT Angelle never forgot her priorities of putting God first.  Of course it was cute
2 CONT that Ma put herself second!
1 NOTE Soon Angelle's sister Agnita was born, and they both enjoyed dancing lessons and
2 CONT learning songs their mother taught them to sing.  Daddy also encouraged them
2 CONT with piano and violin, so their home was filled with music.  Her fond memories
2 CONT include summer vacations at Aunt Lydia's farm, swimming in the Rappahannock
2 CONT River along with Beverly Anne and Marshall, her cousins.  Then there were the
2 CONT lovely visits to Aunt Lelia's and Aunt Louise's in Charlottesville, Virginia
2 CONT where she would go for ice cream with Nancy Lee and J.B. and sit and watch the
2 CONT square dance parties in the Pine Room with Linda Lee.  Singing and playing piano
2 CONT were always a big part of these visits.  The beautiful blending voices of the
2 CONT Yowell family still ring softly in her ears.  
1 NOTE Angelle is very musical.  She first sang on a local Washington, D.C. TV show
2 CONT when only five years old.  Soon after that she began taking piano and really
2 CONT excelled with it.  As a youngster she accompanied many choirs, including
2 CONT Northwestern High School and the local First Methodist Church.  She began
2 CONT playing the violin in fifth grade.  She excelled with this as well, although it
2 CONT is not her instrument of first choice.  It was during this time that she learned
2 CONT to play some of the old country tunes our grandfather was so well known for. 
2 CONT Through her school years, Angelle enjoyed scholastic achievements, but music
2 CONT stayed at the forefront.  She was involved with the Orchestra, and was chosen
2 CONT for the State Orchestra 3 different years.  In 8th grade her piano teacher Ted
2 CONT Brown took her to audition for his former teacher, Emerson Meyers.  Meyers was
2 CONT at this point the head of the Music Department recommending different teachers
2 CONT for other students Ted Brown had brought to also play for him.  Dr. Meyers said
2 CONT "Now regarding Angelle, I don't really want to recommend anyone.  I want to
2 CONT teach her myself."  Thus began a period of four years during which Angelle was
2 CONT able to take lessons at the University, attend theory classes and give recitals
2 CONT in the Concert Hall.  
1 NOTE During this period of time Angelle's family began an earnest study of the Bible
2 CONT and they became Jehovah's Witnesses.  By the time of her graduation she had met
2 CONT Kent Steinmetz.  His goals of reaching out for privileges in Christian service
2 CONT appealed to her---and so did his blue eyes.  
1 NOTE After their marriage they were able to work with various congregations in
2 CONT Maryland and Virginia, where Kent served as an Elder.  They were also invited to
2 CONT be part of the Watchtower headquarters' staff, and lived in New York for a year.
2 CONT  
1 NOTE Then they moved to Virginia and started a family after 10 years of marriage. 
2 CONT Now they are blesses with two beautiful daughters, Laura and Paula, and two
2 CONT precious grandchildren, Jeremy & Nina.  Their home is still filled with music. 
2 CONT Angelle teaches piano, and now has her own grandchildren included among her 24
2 CONT students.  The sweet lesson she learned from her grandmother, "Who do you
2 CONT Love…First" has helped guide her life.  Her love for God supercedes all and has
2 CONT helped keep her life happy and on a balanced course. 
1 NOTE In later years Angelle has played the piano for a local hotel and currently she
2 CONT plays for a theatre.  She loves to arrange musical skits both for congregational
2 CONT get-togethers and for the local school.  She also plays the violin and has
2 CONT learned several of the old tunes our grandfather played from my father who
2 CONT hummed them to her.  She is a beloved piano teacher with many local students.

2 PLAC Richmond,Hanover County,Virginia
1 NOTE Lloyd White Chisholm was the son of Lloyd Walter Chisholm and Ruby White of
2 CONT Richmond, Virginia. He was always called Lloyd Jr. or L.W.  When his mother,
2 CONT Ruby, separated from our father, he was 13 years old.   She went back to his
2 CONT grandfather's home in Richmond, Virginia.  He never saw his father again until
2 CONT after he graduated from high school and he came to live with him.  He then
2 CONT joined the navy for a while, but came back to live near our father and worked as
2 CONT the foreman in daddy's Cozy Home Insulation Company.
1 NOTE He married Peggy, a girl from Tulsa, Oklahoma.  They had a son whom they named
2 CONT Lloyd Walter Chisholm III after my father.  Even though he was not a true junior
2 CONT himself, he had always been called Lloyd Jr. and my father always called himself
2 CONT Lloyd Sr., so it seemed right to call his first son the third.  Then when the
2 CONT baby was only about two years old, Peggy decided to go back to Tulsa.  Daddy
2 CONT always said that she had been raised as a little rich girl and that my brother
2 CONT just couldn't do enough for her.  With my father's encouragement, my brother
2 CONT decided not to follow her.  He would have had to leave his job and his family. 
2 CONT Perhaps he didn't know what type of job he might do in Oklahoma.  
1 NOTE He was very broken up about it, but soon he found a Francis.  They fell in love,
2 CONT and flew out to Reno, Nevada to get a quickie divorce.  They were married the
2 CONT next day.  After he came home, he continued to work for my father. Francis was
2 CONT eight years older than my brother was and she already had two sons.  One of her
2 CONT sons was a year older than my sister Angelle, while the other was about my age.
2 CONT Soon they had a son together, and what did he name him?  Lloyd White Chisholm. 
2 CONT We couldn't believe it!  No imagination I guess?  Maybe he wanted to replace his
2 CONT first son that he lost.  He never made any effort to get in touch with his first
2 CONT son after that.  In fact he gave away anything that reminded him of Peggy
2 CONT including their dog.  
1 NOTE Soon he even got rid of the relationship he had with my father.  My father
2 CONT didn't seem to like that Francis was older than Lloyd.  I don't know what he
2 CONT said to him about it though.  But something certainly upset my brother.  One
2 CONT morning he walked into my father's office and put the company keys on the table
2 CONT and told my father that he quit and that he didn't ever want to see my father
2 CONT again.  My father was devastated.  He held family ties very strongly.  Since he
2 CONT was told not to talk to them, he wrote them a letter. In the letter he begged
2 CONT them to reconsider or else he said, "some day you will be sorry."  My brother
2 CONT took this statement to be a threat and he sued my father to keep him from ever
2 CONT contacting him again in any way.  My father answered with a counter suit and the
2 CONT battle was on.  The judge soon recognized this for what it was a family squabble
2 CONT and threw it out of court.  My brother had made his point, however, and in the
2 CONT future my father reluctantly kept his distance.  
1 NOTE It certainly was strange that he not only cut all ties with my father, but until
2 CONT this day he has NEVER sought out any of the Chisholm relations.  This quality
2 CONT certainly is not a Chisholm trait.  Everyone said it is the White in him.  So I
2 CONT guess he was named correctly.

1 NOTE Lloyd Walter Chisholm, III, is named after his father Lloyd and his
2 CONT great-grandfather Scott Walter Paris.  
1 NOTE He is now retired and living in Tulsa Oklahoma with his wife Debra.  His mother
2 CONT came from an influential and prominent family in Oklahoma where they had a very
2 CONT lucrative construction business.  He was only three years old when his parents
2 CONT got their divorce.  His mother, Peggy, had returned to Oklahoma and the security
2 CONT of her grandfather Scott Walter Paris.  He was the main character in all that
2 CONT was positive in her life and perhaps Lloyd's as well.  Lloyd describes his great
2 CONT grandfather as the proverbial glue that held all things together.  However
2 CONT within a year Scott Paris died of a heart attack in November of 1955.  
1 NOTE With his death, Peggy's world, her security and her future collapsed.  She fell
2 CONT into a deep psychological abyss from which she never recovered.  She became a
2 CONT violent alcoholic.  She was no longer able to have a normal relationship, and as
2 CONT a result she had many men in her life.  Many of these were merely adventures in
2 CONT lust and pain.  Six or seven times she married, but no one ever stayed with her.
2 CONT  Her life was out of control and she never recovered.  She died at 43 years of
2 CONT age.  
1 NOTE The type of life style Peggy maintained didn't offer Lloyd very much security or
2 CONT stability.  Therefore he was moved about among various family members.  They
2 CONT were both viewed as a hardship to the family that they would have to endure. 
2 CONT Peggy had been so accustomed to being a little rich girl, pampered by her
2 CONT grandfather, that she began to write bad checks to cover her activities and pay
2 CONT for the good times she craved.  At first the family tried to cover these bad
2 CONT checks to avoid a scandal on the family.  Eventually they turned her out.  From
2 CONT that time on she lived in a constant drunken stupor in near poverty.  
1 NOTE Lloyd spent his life on a merry-go-round, never knowing where to go, what to do,
2 CONT and how to act.  The only constant in his life after the death of his
2 CONT great-grand father was his wife, his great-grand mother - Maude M. Paris.  She
2 CONT didn't have much money after the death of her husband.  Her kids had managed to
2 CONT take most of it after he died.  She loved and cared for Lloyd III as much as
2 CONT possible.

1 NOTE HUGH DAVID CHISHOLME:  "In 1846, in accordance with an act of the Legislature,
2 CONT the county [of Albemarle] was divided into twenty-one School districts.  A
2 CONT description of their limits is recorded in the Order Book for that year [1846],
2 CONT page 312.  In Deed Book No. Fifty, occurs the record of the boundaries of ten
2 CONT districts for election purposes, which were constituted in pursuance of an act
2 CONT of the Legislature passed in 1852."  
1 NOTE By the time he was 46 years old, "The last division was effected by an act of
2 CONT the Legislature under the requirement of the new Constitution, adopted in July,
2 CONT 1869.  By this law of the county was laid off into five Townships, subsequently
2 CONT termed Districts.  These were Rivanna, Whithall, Samuel Mill, Scottsville, and
2 CONT Charlottesville.  In 1857 another was added, called Ivy."   It is in Scottsville
2 CONT that the Chisholms appropriately live and rear their family.
1 NOTE Hugh David was an excellent fiddle player and the family still kept alive many
2 CONT of the old Scottish tunes such as "Over the Waves."  He taught his son Napoleon
2 CONT to play the fiddle, but when he slacked in the use of his fourth finger, finding
2 CONT playing an open string easier, Hugh took his violin away.
1 NOTE 1850 Censes:  Hugh (age 27) was living at home with his father John Russell. 
2 CONT Also listed in the household is his wife Catherine [Giannini] and their first 4
2 CONT children, George age 6, David age 5, Nathan age 4, and Willie [Wilhemina] age 11
2 CONT months, and Hugh's brothers Humphrey age 25 and William age 22.
1 NOTE Hugh and his other four brothers, William, Isham, Mukins, Brice, are mentioned
2 CONT in the 1800 census for Albemarle County.  By the time of the 1820 census, he had
2 CONT moved to Chesterfield County.  By 1830 he was found in Hanover County living
2 CONT with and caring for his father John Russell. The name Hugh is unique in the
2 CONT family of Walter Chisholm.  His brothers were named after their uncles.
1 NOTE 1900 Census: At the time of the 1900 census he was still living and listed as a
2 CONT member of his son Napoleon Chisholm who at the time had 6 of his 7 children born
2 CONT and living at home. He is listed as a laborer by profession.

1 NOTE BIOGRAPHY: Eileen was a beautiful baby.  She walked at 11 months and could hold
2 CONT a conversation with just about anybody by the time she was two.  She was very
2 CONT bright and learned well when she wanted to.  Before her second birthday, she
2 CONT could identify most animals.  One day when strolling through the elephant house
2 CONT at the Washington National Zoo, her great grandfather, James Moore, held her up
2 CONT to see the huge elephant, and said, "See the horsey."  He had no idea she knew
2 CONT what she was seeing.  Knowing that she knew that the animal was, her mother
2 CONT asked, "What is that animal?"  She snapped back, "Elephant."  
1 NOTE She was an angel, but had a will of her own.  She would challenge each new
2 CONT taboo, and it would take a week of scolding and hand slapping before she would
2 CONT accept the correction.  When she was caught coloring on the dinning room wall,
2 CONT her mom realized a week of pictures would ruin the lovely townhouse.  So it was
2 CONT decided to collapse time into one afternoon.  Time after time, Eileen endured a
2 CONT spanking and a stern talking to, only to be placed in front of the same wall
2 CONT with a fresh crayon, which she reached for with a glint in her eye, as she
2 CONT planned to continue her original work.  The spanking and talks began again,
2 CONT until she finally, refused the offer of the crayon, shaking her head and
2 CONT promising never to repeat the art work.  And she didn't.
1 NOTE She learned so quickly and well, that her Mom was surprised that she decided she
2 CONT wouldn't learn the alphabet.  From age two they would sing the ABC song
2 CONT together.  But then when she was asked to sing it by herself, she would cry and
2 CONT protest, "I can't, I can't."  Not wanting to upset her, her mom would drop the
2 CONT subject.  After a few months however, she would try again, only to have her
2 CONT again refuse to sing her part.  This continued to occur until she was five.  At
2 CONT that time, when she refused to sing the song solo, there was suddenly heard a
2 CONT little voice in the background, who sung the entire song as requested.  It was
2 CONT Emily who was now 3 years old.  Well, within 5 minutes, Eileen was able to sing
2 CONT the song solo, and within a few months, she could read words as well.   Once she
2 CONT entered school her desire to achieve really took on and she was always the top
2 CONT of her class.  
1 NOTE She took piano, and still enjoys playing piano and singing.  
1 NOTE In high school Eileen stayed busy on the phone answering questions about
2 CONT homework.  Then the questions changed to advise.  Many of her friends treated
2 CONT her like the "Shrink."
1 NOTE She became a pioneer minister as soon as she got out of high school.  She worked
2 CONT for a cleaning service part-time to get gas money.  Eventually she began to bid
2 CONT and work her own cleaning jobs. 
1 NOTE In 1985 she became engaged to Todd Riley who was attending Texas A&M University.
2 CONT He was from Ohio, but was destined never to return.  When we took her younger
2 CONT sister Andrea and her brother Steven to Disney World, she and her sister Emily
2 CONT decided to stay home.  By now they had their own apartment together.  When we
2 CONT called home to check on the girls, she broke the news that she and Todd were
2 CONT engaged.  Within a few months Emily too became engaged, and Eileen decided they
2 CONT would have a double wedding.
1 NOTE In 1996, Eileen and her husband, Todd, attended the 99th class of Gilead in New
2 CONT York and have been serving as missionaries in Mali, West Africa ever since.
1 NOTE MARRIAGE: On August 30, 1986, Eileen and Emily had a double wedding.  After
2 CONT being so close all their life, it seemed natural that they would marry together.
2 CONT  Each had their own maid of honor, three brides maids of honor.  Eileen and her
2 CONT bridal party entered the Kingdom Hall first and her dad brought her in on his
2 CONT arm.  As Emily and her girls entered, her dad returned to the back of the
2 CONT Kingdom Hall to escort Emily down the isle.  Harold Metzer did the honors,
2 CONT giving the vows first to Eileen and Todd, before turning to Emily and Craig. 
2 CONT All went off with only one mistake, when Harold turned to Craig and called him
2 CONT Todd.  He was quickly corrected and proceeded correctly to the finish.  The
2 CONT kisses were given simultaneously, with Craig and Emily lasting the longest.  
1 NOTE At the reception, their best friends, Dianna, Rosie, Orlando Perez, and Bart
2 CONT acted out how the two couples met and courted.  Their mother, Agnita, and
2 CONT Granny, Angelina, sung a duet while their Aunt Angelle accompanied them.   Both
2 CONT couples spent their honeymoon night in local but separate hotel rooms. 
1 NOTE Eileen and Todd stayed in town for the next ten years.  Todd worked driving a
2 CONT county school buss, and helped Eileen in her cleaning business that she had
2 CONT begun when only 17.

1 NOTE Emily has been very strong from birth.  She started at 8 lbs, and then gained 2
2 CONT lbs per month for the next three months.  This put her weighing in at 14 lbs.,
2 CONT which is more than her older sister Eileen weighed at 6 months.  By her second
2 CONT week she turned over in bed for the first time.  This wasn't just a fluke
2 CONT either, because she continued to turn over from her stomach to her back every
2 CONT day after that.  However she had an Achilles heel.  Her first week of life she
2 CONT threw up - it was that horrible "projectile" vomiting.  There was no reason why,
2 CONT but the next week she did it twice.  It wouldn't go away.  Pretty soon it was
2 CONT every day.  
1 NOTE Then at 3 months her it began to impact her health.  When her older sister got
2 CONT the flu, she got the flu also.  By the time she got over the flew, she got a
2 CONT throat infection, then the next week an ear infection, then the cycle started
2 CONT over again.  The most upsetting thing that happened is that during that third
2 CONT month she stopped gaining weight.  Whereas she had been gaining at the rate of 2
2 CONT lbs a month, she had a cushion to fall back on.  At first the doctor didn't
2 CONT believe it was even true when it was called to his attention.  So the doctor
2 CONT began weighing her on the same scale every time she came into his office - which
2 CONT by now was twice a week.  At the beginning of the week she would run a fever
2 CONT from a throat, ear, or stomach infection.  The doctor would give her a
2 CONT penicillin shot and have her return later in the week for a second shot.  As a
2 CONT result by the weekend, she would be pretty good, only to start running a fever
2 CONT again after the weekend was over.  
1 NOTE By the time she was 6 months old, however, she was throwing up two out of three
2 CONT meals a day, she was still weighing 14 pounds as she had weighed at the end of
2 CONT her third month of life, and she had lost all her strength, not even being able
2 CONT to hold her head up out of her vomit. In fact just when it seemed that she was
2 CONT content and asleep in her bed, she would simply be heard to cough, but when
2 CONT checked she would be laying in her own vomit.  Finally, by the end of the sixth
2 CONT month, when she seemed to be near death, her doctor finally decided to take
2 CONT seriously the pleadings of Emily's young mother.  So he put Emily in the
2 CONT hospital for tests.  
1 NOTE To everyone's surprise and relief, her problem, that had by this time almost
2 CONT killed her, was easy to control and she would soon grow out of it.  The x-rays
2 CONT had found that when she ate, her stomach valve, which was supposed to be a
2 CONT one-way valve, accepting food, but not allowing it to return, wasn't working. 
2 CONT So that explained why when she fell asleep the food had drifted back up her
2 CONT throat and she would literally have to cough it up.  On her return home, all
2 CONT that was needed was to feed her while she was propped up in her infant seat. 
2 CONT (Remember she was too week to even hold her head up.)  Then she would have to
2 CONT remain in her infant seat, sitting up for at least 20 minutes so that the food
2 CONT had time to get out of her stomach and into her intestines.  Then she could go
2 CONT on her way.  Within two weeks she was back on track again.  By then she could
2 CONT sit up on her own and there was no more vomit. 
1 NOTE Emily didn't talk until she was three.  There was no need since her older sister
2 CONT Eileen always would speak up to tell what she wanted. For example, they shared a
2 CONT large bedroom.  In the bedroom were the two single beds her mother and aunt had
2 CONT shared when growing up.  Ever since she turned two, and about two months before
2 CONT the birth of her sister, Eileen slept in one of the beds.  The other bed lay
2 CONT empty awaiting the time when Emily would be old enough to occupy it.  Emily
2 CONT occupied Eileen's old crib, which sat adjacent to the vacant bed. By 18-months,
2 CONT Emily had learned to climb in and out of the crib using the vacant bed as a
2 CONT stepping-stone.  One afternoon they were sent to their bedroom for their nap. 
2 CONT When their Mom arrived to tuck them in, she found Emily already tucked in the
2 CONT sleeping in the vacant bed. Quickly big sister Eileen explained that, "She
2 CONT wanted to sleep there today.  Although she seemed too young to sleep in a full
2 CONT sized bed, it wasn't worth the argument since she seemed content with her
2 CONT decision.  At night it was their Dad's job to put them in bed, read them a Bible
2 CONT Story, and say their prayers.  Being busy in the kitchen, Mom had forgotten to
2 CONT warn him of the afternoon incident.  Suddenly Mom heard Emily hysterically
2 CONT crying and ran to the top of the stairs to intervene.  Sure enough there was no
2 CONT way she was going to get back into that crib ever again.  She loved her big bed
2 CONT just like her sister had.  In fact she loved doing everything just like her
2 CONT sister.
1 NOTE Emily continued to show her heartiness.  When she would see Eileen playing with
2 CONT a toy she wanted, she would rush her, crawling all the way, and not stop until
2 CONT Eileen stood up, screamed as though she was being attached, and dropped the toy.
2 CONT But like most babies, she would soon lose interest in the toy and Eileen would
2 CONT have her change to enjoy her toy.
1 NOTE Little mother Eileen was very responsible when asked to watch her sister in the
2 CONT back yard play ground.  By the time they were 18mo. and 3-1/2 years old, Eileen
2 CONT could lift Emily into the swing chair, together they would lower the bar, and
2 CONT then Eileen would sting her.  She would watch to make sure that Emily didn't
2 CONT wander out of the back yard as they played.  She was always very responsible. 
2 CONT But Eileen was very scary.  She would only swing her sister, but she had never
2 CONT attempted to climb the Monkey bar next to the swings.  One day, however, while
2 CONT their Mom was washing clothes, Eileen came running in the back door screaming,
2 CONT "Emily is at the top of the Monkey bars and she can't get down (The Monkey bar
2 CONT was simply a ladder in the shape of an upside down "U").  Together they ran out
2 CONT to her rescue, only to find Emily wasn't upset at all.  She had climbed the
2 CONT ladder to the top, but now she didn't know how to proceed forward, nor did she
2 CONT try to back off.  Since the Monkey bar was only about four feet off the ground,
2 CONT Mom showed Emily that all she had to do was hold on with both hands, drop her
2 CONT body between the rungs, and drop to the ground.  Emily was so excited that she
2 CONT ran back to once again climb the ladder, which she would now do over and over
2 CONT again every day.  Eileen who was scared of the Monkey bars was content to watch
2 CONT her as she climbed up and down, and up and down, and up and down.
1 NOTE When about six we were moving.  Everyone was busy putting furniture and boxes in
2 CONT the truck.  Suddenly, Emily ran through the house in fright asking, "They didn't
2 CONT take the toilet yet did they?"
1 NOTE Emily too took piano lessons, and she learned very quickly, but she never stood
2 CONT still long enough to master it.  She was also quite a good artist, but didn't
2 CONT keep up her talent.  She has a lovely voice, but usually declines performing in
2 CONT front of others.  She actually has many many talents, but doesn't have the
2 CONT confidence to realize how gifted she is.  Her greatest gift is her ability to
2 CONT make others feel appreciated.  She has helped many people and is always doing
2 CONT things for others.
1 NOTE Today she works hard to set a good Christian example for her three beautiful
2 CONT children, Sarah Magen, Heather Ann, and Joshua Alan.

1 NOTE Andrea was supposed to be a boy.  No one really knows why, it just seemed the
2 CONT right thing since there were already two girls in the family.  Her mom had
2 CONT endulged this dream by buying mostly blue outfits.  The most prized outfit was a
2 CONT postman's suit in honor of her grandfather.  However, the boy was to come later.
2 CONT Her Mom's disappointment lasted only for a minute, and was turned at herself for
2 CONT feeling upset even for one moment with the wonderful gift she had received. 
2 CONT Ever practical older sister Eileen said, "Mother, just let her wear the things.
2 CONT Blue is OK for a girl too."  But she was not subjected to that.  
1 NOTE Andrea was always a joy to everyone.  She was easy to keep happy.  All she
2 CONT wanted for the first six months of her life was to be eye to eye with her
2 CONT mother.  So she would sit in her infant seat on top of the kitchen counter as
2 CONT mother cooked and washed dishes.
1 NOTE From the beginning she was a dreamer though.  She had vivid dreams and loved to
2 CONT this day to tell people what she dreamed about the night before.  However when
2 CONT she was little (younger than 6 or 7) she trouble distinguishing between her
2 CONT dreams and actual occurrences.  She woul come in and begin excitedly telling a
2 CONT story that got more and more bazarre with each sentence, until her mom would
2 CONT have to ask, "Is this a dream?"  Staring off into space, she would search her
2 CONT memory and finally admit sheepishly, "Yes."
1 NOTE One thing she did that was aggrevating is that she loved to draw on every tablet
2 CONT in the house.  In fact if I wanted to write something down, I could NEVER find a
2 CONT blank sheet of paper anywhere in the house.  Pretty soon, however, it became
2 CONT evident why she had this bad habit -- once she got in school she began to tell
2 CONT everyone that she wanted to be an Artist when she grew up.  By the time she was
2 CONT 9 years old, she was accepted by a private teacher and soon the family walls
2 CONT began to fill with her beautiful artwork.  Throughout school she won many
2 CONT accolades for her work.  After high school she attended the Art school in
2 CONT Houston Texas sponsored by the Houston Art Museum.  
1 NOTE Fortunately when she was in fourth grade, she had the opportunity to join the
2 CONT string program at school.  In no time it was evident she had the family gift. 
2 CONT Now she teaches beginner students.  She had great feel for music.  She also has
2 CONT a lovely voice.  
1 NOTE When 17 she began to work hard with her congregation as a Pioneer minister.  To
2 CONT help as many as possible with her ministry she has learned American Sign
2 CONT Language.
1 NOTE BREY MEETS ANDREA -- AUGUST 2000:
2 CONT Brey was at Watchtower Farm for 6˝ years.  His roommate was Rocky Trahan.  
2 CONT Eventually, Rocky left for Abbeville to get married.  He asked Brey to be his
2 CONT best man at the wedding on August 5.  Everyone in the Abshire family decided
2 CONT Brey and Andrea were perfect for each other and Rocky's wedding would be the
2 CONT perfect time to get them together.  At one point, Velta Trahan tried to
2 CONT introduce Andrea to Brey, but Andrea explained, "I've already met him."  But
2 CONT Velta insisted, saying, "But I want to tell him, 'You are the one!'" During the
2 CONT weekend, their paths crossed several times.  Once they sat across from each
2 CONT other at lunch.  Andrea was confused because, by the end of the weekend, he
2 CONT hadn't even asked for her phone number.  She had been as bold as she thought it
2 CONT prudent - even telling him about her planned trip in a couple weeks to meet her
2 CONT sister and brother-in-law in France with a stop over at Brooklyn Bethel.   Brey
2 CONT may have been shy, but he was clever.  A few days after he got back to Walkill,
2 CONT much to her surprise he called.  He explained, "I hope you don't mind, I got
2 CONT your phone number from the Abshire family."  Fortunately his further inquiries
2 CONT led him to the discovery of a two-cent a minute phone card, because after that
2 CONT day, their phones were seldom hung up.   Within a short amount of time, they had
2 CONT logged in many hours on the phone.  By August 12th Brey had decided that truly
2 CONT this might be the one so he told her he wanted to date her with the view to
2 CONT marriage.  She was confused, wondering how you could date when all you did was
2 CONT talk on the phone.  After all they were still separated by hundreds of miles. 
2 CONT But, later when he asked if he could pray together - over the phone - and she
2 CONT listened to his sincere prayer, she knew that this was the one for her.
1 NOTE SEPTEMBER:
2 CONT Anxious to see her again, on August 31 he drove for 3 hours just to be with her
2 CONT during her 1-hour lay over in New York on her way to Paris.  He was so exhausted
2 CONT after working that he could hardly speak - or at least that was his excuse. 
2 CONT What a change after all those long phone calls. When she returned to Brooklyn
2 CONT Bethel on her way home from Paris on September 11, he enlisted the help of his
2 CONT brother, Gage, who was at Patterson to make special arrangements to show her New
2 CONT York.  
1 NOTE Granny and Andrea's Aunt Angelle had arranged to take the family to see the
2 CONT Music Man on Broadway.  These plans had been made months in advance and she
2 CONT couldn't turn down the opportunity to go. Wanting to spend every possible minute
2 CONT with Andrea, Brey went along to deal with the scalpers outside the theatre. He
2 CONT found a scalper with a pair of tickets, but he didn't want to break the pair. 
2 CONT With much pleading, the scalper reluctantly gave in to Brey's heart and he paid
2 CONT the scalper's price.  But now the scalper was left with a single ticket that
2 CONT probably wouldn't sell in the minutes left before the show was to begin. So at
2 CONT Andrea's prodding Aunt Angelle got the scalper to agree to trade Andrea's ticket
2 CONT for the matching seat.  Brey and Andrea's hearts began beating louder than all
2 CONT 76 trombones put together.
2 CONT That evening they had dinner together across the street form the Sands at a
2 CONT little Chinese Restaurant.  But all too soon the visit was over and Andrea had
2 CONT to return to Lafayette on September 14.  
1 NOTE OCTOBER:
2 CONT Less than a month of phone calls passed and Brey had to come for a visit.  He
2 CONT arrived on October 20 for a ten-day stay. With service every day they had them
2 CONT plenty of time together.  Now Brey knew what it would like to pioneer together
2 CONT with Andrea, and he liked the idea.  He decided she was really the one.   Andrea
2 CONT didn't want him to go back to New York. When he left he gave her a card that was
2 CONT not to be opened until he was gone.  Excitedly as soon as he walked through the
2 CONT door, she opened it, read it, and began to cry.  
1 NOTE NOVEMBER:
2 CONT Next it was Andrea's turn to go back to New York.  So, exactly one month later
2 CONT on November 20, accompanied by Lindsey Mosing, she boarded a plane to spend 9
2 CONT days at Wallkill. It was wonderful to see Brey in his element.  His friends all
2 CONT told her how wild and crazy he is and made a lot of jokes.  But then each one in
2 CONT turn would take her aside - as if it were a secret, but so that she would be
2 CONT sure to know - they would whisper, "He's really a good guy."
1 NOTE DECEMBER:
2 CONT Between AT&T and Continental, this long distance romance was getting expensive. 
2 CONT Decisions had to be made. Brey felt this relationship was worth pursuing, and he
2 CONT was going to do it in person.  So he turned in his resignation to Bethel, packed
2 CONT up all his belongings, and began making arrangements to move to Lafayette in
2 CONT January.  But they couldn't go more than a month without seeing each other, so
2 CONT in December Brey had to find an excuse to take one more quick trip to Lafayette.
2 CONT He said he had come to search for a job and a place to live.  But in reality
2 CONT Andrea had already found a temporary place for him to stay and gotten Craig, his
2 CONT future brother-in-law, to promise him a job.  But he came in for the weekend to
2 CONT see the little apartment behind the Guidry's house and talk to Craig. 
1 NOTE JANUARY:
2 CONT On January 1 he arrived in Lafayette for good. The friends in Betrand
2 CONT congregation welcomed him with open arms, but no one's arms were as open as
2 CONT Andrea's.  They gave him housewarming presents to help him get started,
2 CONT realizing that these gifts would soon be for Andrea as well.  
1 NOTE FEBRUARY:
2 CONT On February 9, accompanied by Emilie Hardesty, Andrea takes Brey to meet the
2 CONT Texas relatives - Grandma Moore, Uncle Jerry, Aunt Janet and cousin Janine. 
2 CONT They brought presents for the family, but none were as special as the gift Brey
2 CONT had brought for Andrea.  Everyone had been anticipating that they would soon be
2 CONT engaged.  However, he had not given her the ring yet, making it official.  With
2 CONT all this anticipation, Brey was unsure how to surprise Andrea.  So on the first
2 CONT day of their trip to Texas he presented her with a beautiful diamond solitaire
2 CONT pendent.  He hoped this would throw her off and keep her from suspecting what he
2 CONT was about to ask her.  This was a clever idea, however, just knowing that this
2 CONT necklace was the prelude to his asking her to marry him made his heart beat out
2 CONT of his chest.  He knew he had to calm down, or she would suspect something.  So
2 CONT he managed to calm down and get past step one.
2 CONT On February 10, the second day of the trip, he brought along the ring in his
2 CONT jacket pocket as they strolled around Austin, Texas, sightseeing with Andrea's
2 CONT cousin and friends.  He even told Janine, Yvette, and Emilie what he planned to
2 CONT do so that they would move out of the way whenever he found the right moment. 
2 CONT Poor Brey carried the ring in its box around all day without finding that
2 CONT special moment.  This was no easy feat, because the box made a hard lump in his
2 CONT pocket.  He knew if Andrea bumped into that lump, she would guess what it was. 
2 CONT So as they walked along, whenever she would change the side she was on, he had
2 CONT to discretely unzip his jacket pocket, switch the box to his other side, and zip
2 CONT the pocket closed again.  
1 NOTE Finally the moment came as he was saying good night.  Holding her close to his
2 CONT chest, with his heart about to pound out of his chest, he asked her, "Andrea
2 CONT Marie, will you be my wife?"  She desperately but unsuccessfully tried to think
2 CONT of something romantic and meaningful, and after only a minute's hesitation, she
2 CONT stuttered, "YES."  As he asked her, he unzipped his jacket pocket, pulled out
2 CONT the box and held it out to her.  She was so excited that she didn't even see the
2 CONT box.  She just kept hugging him.
1 NOTE MARRIAGE: Married June 9, 2001 to Brey Fleegle in the Abbeyville, LA,
2 CONT congregation with reception in Kaplin, LA at the Kaplin center.

1 NOTE BIRTH: Although it never mattered to us what sex our children were, after having
2 CONT two girls, we thought our third child should be a boy.  When that didn't happen,
2 CONT we thought a son was not to be in our family.  Therefore, Steven came as a big
2 CONT surprise.  After three girls we expected another girl.  What a happy surprise
2 CONT when he came along.  
1 NOTE INFANT:  Steven always played quietly by himself when he was little.  It made
2 CONT him easy to care for as an infant.  And he was certainly cute.  
1 NOTE Ed had always said it would be harder to raise a boy.  And that proved true. 
2 CONT Boys are always more determined to have their way, and Steven was no exception
2 CONT there.  When he would start toward something breakable, he would usually beat
2 CONT everyone to the object, resulting in problems.  
1 NOTE One day, he seemed to be playing quietly, until a single clink alerted of
2 CONT trouble.  Steven was discovered in the middle of the kitchen table, spooning
2 CONT sugar out of the sugar bowl spoon for spoon all over the table, chairs, floor,
2 CONT and it even stuck to the window behind the table. He was just having fun with
2 CONT his discovery process.

2 CONT more underprivileged children needed help with speech therapy.  Certainly such a
2 CONT cute, well-dressed child would figure out to talk by himself.  But that was a
2 CONT mistake that was finally corrected when he was in third grade and a new
2 CONT principal came to the school.  She was a real blessing for Steven, and she got
2 CONT him the help he needed.  It still took time, but eventually, we could see him
2 CONT concentrating on the hard words.  He even slowed his speech down whenever when a
2 CONT problem word would come into the sentence.  Soon, his tongue was moving smoothly
2 CONT over every word -- in fact, WORD was one of his hardest words to say - of course
2 CONT WORLD was impossible for him to pronounce.  
1 NOTE PETS:  He was fascinated with our cat's 6 kittens.  Later when we got Nicky, who
2 CONT grew to be a huge yellow cat, he took it on himself to train him.  Of course you
2 CONT really can't teach cats tricks, but he got him to ride on his shoulders with his
2 CONT long legs hanging over each of Steven's shoulders.  He had a hand in teaching
2 CONT our dauchound dog Mattie to bark on command.  Whenever he would say, "Say yes,"
2 CONT Mattie would respond by barking.  Now he is tired of her loud bark, and tries to
2 CONT shut her up, but that is much harder to teach.
1 NOTE YOUTH:  He was always nervous.  Instead of sucking his thumb, he would twist his
2 CONT ears.  He could even twist and fold each ear inside itself.  He loved to quietly
2 CONT do this in school to the teacher's total frustration.  How could she teach with
2 CONT everyone looking at Steven?  He had other antics that were distracting, although
2 CONT never malicious.  Even though he would frequently get in trouble, he was always
2 CONT respectful to the teacher and would accept any punishment meted out to him and
2 CONT carry it out with a smile on his face. We were all happy when he grew out of his
2 CONT playful tricks when he entered the 9th grade.  Suddenly there were no more
2 CONT antics. 
1 NOTE His biggest surprise came when he was about to graduate from high school. 
2 CONT Parents normally want to present their sons with a new car at this occasion,
2 CONT however this didn't seem possible at the time.  However, his dad came through
2 CONT for him when he won a 1997 Geo Tracker at Churches Chicken.  He was just eating
2 CONT his lunch, as he often did between carpet cleaning jobs.  The game card he was
2 CONT given said, sorry, try again.  As he left a woman came in and demanded, "Give me
2 CONT a winning game card."  To which the woman behind the counter said, "Sure," as
2 CONT she handed her a card.  The idea that you could just demand a "winning" game
2 CONT card, caught his interest, and he paused, looking the situation over.  Seeing
2 CONT his interest, the woman behind the counter said to him, "Here, do you want one
2 CONT too."  So he accepted it and hurriedly scratched it off.  He was further
2 CONT confused to see that the card said, "YOU WON!"  So he turned to the counter,
2 CONT thinking that the prize was a small remote control car.  But he was excited when
2 CONT he was told that it was a full size, $15,000 car.  Steven went with his dad to
2 CONT accept the car from the Churches Chicken people, and eventually the car was put
2 CONT in Steven's name for $1.
1 NOTE QUALITIES:  He was always very good with math and other electronic things. 
2 CONT Before he could read, he figured out how to work the VCR and taught everyone
2 CONT else in the family what to do. When 5 he began to learn computers the love
2 CONT affair grew. It was hard to pull him away from the computer each day. He loves
2 CONT to help others with his knowledge of computers.
1 NOTE He is very methodical, and very organized.  You would never have expected it if
2 CONT you had seen his room when he was young.  But like all messy little boys, they
2 CONT grow up.  
1 NOTE It was no surprise to everyone that he developed a good sense of humor.  He is
2 CONT just like his father in this way.  One of his first jobs combined his two loves
2 CONT -- computers and humor.  He worked for a publishing company that faxed jokes all
2 CONT over town every morning, along with advertisements.  It was his job to organize
2 CONT the daily fax, and it required him to have to search the web for "G" rated
2 CONT jokes.  What a perfect job.  However, his boss went out of business and his
2 CONT dream job came to an end.
1 NOTE He is also very devoted to his family.  He can empathize when they are sad and
2 CONT tries to cheer them up with his concern.
1 NOTE It is inevitable that Steven would grow up to work around computers, and loves
2 CONT his work.  His abilities helped him made him a natural to help out his local
2 CONT congregation with their sound system. In no time he had everything organized.
