DESCENDANTS OF CHRISTIAN GRIMM/GRIM Greene County, Pennsylvania Submitted by Richard Smith. Generation No. 1 1. CHRISTIAN1 GRIMM was born Abt. 1755, and died Abt. 1822 in near Pittsburgh, PA. He married MARY MARGARET MORGAN. She was born Abt. 1758 in Maryland, and died in Aleppo Twp., Greene County, PA. Notes for CHRISTIAN GRIMM: Christian Grimm was the first of the Grimms to settle in the United States. He was uncle to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, authors of the German dictionary and Grimm's Fairy Tales. From Helen Hunt: Christian L. (Ludwig?) Grimm from Hohegeiss, born ca. 1749/51; died about 1723 (sic - must mean 1823); buried Allegheny Church, Cumberland County, PA? He was the uncle to the Grimm brothers of the fairy tales by Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, whose parents were Philipp Wilhelm Grimm and Dorothea Zimmer. Philipp's parents, also Christian's parents were Philipp and Catherine. This Philipp was pastor of a Reformed Church in Steinau for fifty years and also an inspector of churches. His dates 1707-1777. They had eleven children. Fredrich was a son of Hermann Grimm who was son of Heinrich Grimm. He had control of lords and collected taxes on them, a royal post. Christian came to America in 1776 with the Hessians, probably with two brothers. Christian deserted and joined the American Army on February 6, 1777 and then deserted that on March 16, 1777, probably when his first son Charles was born. From Fred Schultz: Mrs. Hunt points out that there is a Christian Grimm listed on the military rolls of Lancaster County, PA, 7th company, 3rd batallion in 1783. There is a Christian Grim registered on the militia rolls of (London)derry Twp. in Bedford County as of Jan. 23, 1789. Fred poses the question; "Are these different Christian Grimms or are the above references to the same man?" Fred goes on to share Jack Poland's proposal: "Christian is possible the son of a German immigrant named Andreas Grim, the son of Frederick and Christiana Grimm. Andreas, or Andrew, came to America before 1758 and was naturalized on April 14, 1762, at Antietam Furnace near Lewistown in Frederick County, MD. Andreas is thought to have the following children: Christian, Peter, Armstrong, Charles, John (Johannes), Margaret, Sarah and Daniel. Poland states that Andreas may have married an Armstrong. The above proposal would rule out the tradition that Christian Grim was a Hessian deserter. There seems to be two Christian Grimms mentioned in the Pennsylvania archives as veterans of the American Revolution. One, Christian L. (Ludwig?) Grimm, may have deserted. Jack Poland indicates that Christian Grimm was born about 1758, while the Hunts give a date of about 1748. In a book entitled German-American Genealogical Research Monographs, Number 1: Brunswick Deserter-immigrants of the American Revolution by Clifford Neal Smith (heritage House, 1973), there is an Andreas Grimm (b. hohegeiss, age 39 years, 11 months), who deserted in Potomas, 1778. Also, there is a Christian Grimm (b. Hohegeiss, age 27 years 0 months) in the service of the American enemy, but no place of date of capture. Given the relatively short span for the Revolutionary War, this Christian could not have been the son of the Andreas also listed. The ages are too close together. Another reseacher Ken Grim wrote, "There's another book that mentions a Christian Grim as a captured Hessian soldier, according to a search for a Christian Grim conducted through the Family Tree Maker web site. it is called German-American Genealogical Research Monography No. 5: Mercenaries from Hessen-Hanau Who Remained in Canada in the U.S. After the American Revolution by Clifford Neal Smith. This Christian Grim was apparently captured at the Battle of Saratoga in October 1777. Lots of clues here.... One researcher has informed me that Helen Hunt's research is suspect, so take that for whatever it's worth. Unfortunately, both the Hunts and maybe Jack Poland are deceased now, so we may never find out their sources for their claims. ................................................ from: Harper G. Grimm, Jr. My father was a fourth generation Grimm from Tyler Co., WV. We believe we came from a Christian Grim, a Hessien soldier who hung around after the American Revolution. We believe he had a son, Charles, either in MD or around Winchester, VA, late in the Revolution, or just after (probably was married to a Mary or Margaret Morgan). They moved to MD, then supposedly to the Greene Co. PA area. Charles had a Joseph who became a blacksmith, and moved to Monroe Co., OH. Joseph had a son, Salem, and moved to the Paden Fork area of Wetzel Co., WV. Salem married a Malissa Van Camp, fought in the American Civil War, moved between Wetzel, Monroe (Ohio) and Tyler (WV). Co's., eventually staying in Tyler County, where he was a farmer and Justice of the Peace. He had a daughter, Sarah Harriet (Etta), who had a son Betrand M., who was my grandfather. My father, Harper Granville Grimm, Sr. was born at Rip 'n Tuck in Tyler County in 1907 (he's still going strong at 90+). Dad practiced law in Charleston, WV for about fifty years and now lives with my sister near Barrackville, WV. ............................................... Who was Christian Grim? (Written by Michael Grimm, mgrimm@edcen.ehhs.cmich.edu) In the course of researching my ancestry, I was led to Christian Grim. Most researchers with whom I've corresponded have given me the same basic data. Christian came to the United States, possibly served in the Revolutionary War with Hessian troops, and married Mary Morgan, sometimes referred to as Margaret. They had 9 children: Charles, Catherine, Adam, Christian, Elizabeth, Thomas, Mary, John B., and Rebecca. Christian and his family may have lived in Maryland for a while, moved to Winchester, Virginia, and eventually to Greene County, Pennsylvania. Beyond these basic facts are a lot of speculation and conflicting data based on research. I am presenting what I know here in the hopes of others finding it and perhaps providing some definitive clues. 1. Olive Grim: "Christian was the first of the Grims to settle in the US. He was uncle to Jacob & William [sic] Grimm, authors of German dictionary and Grimm's fairy tales." 2. Helen Hunt: "Christian L. (Ludwig?) Grim from Hohegeiss, b. ca 1749/51; d. about 1723 [sic; must mean 1823]; buried Allegheny Church, Cumberland Co., PA? He was uncle to Grim brothers of fairy tales, Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, whose parents were Philipp Wilhalm Grimm and Dorothea Zimmer. Phillipp's parents, also Christian's parents) were Philipp and Catherine. This Philipp was pastor of a Reformed Church in Steinau for 50 years." 3. Helen Hunt, again: "Christian Grimm was the son of Fredrich Grimm & Christiane Elizabeth Heilman of Bitberg. Fredrich was a minister of the Reformed Church in Steinau Germany for 50 years & also an Inspector of churches. His dates 1707-1777. They had 11 children. Fredrich was a son of Hermann Grimm who was son of Heinrich Grimm. He had control of lords & collected taxes on them, a royal post...She goes on to say that Christian came to America in 1776 with the Hessians, probably with 2 brothers. Christian deserted & joined American Army 2/6/1777 & then deserted that 3/16/1777 probably when his first son Charles was born in MD." 4. Fred Schultz: "Mrs. Hunt points out that there is a Christian Grim listed on the military rolls of Lancaster Co., ______nour Twp., 7th company, 3rd Batallion in 1783. There is a Christian Grim registered on the militia rolls of (London)derry Twp. in Bedford County as of Jan. 23, 1789." Fred poses the question: are these different Christian Grims or are the above references to the same man. Fred goes on to share Jack Poland's proposal: "Christian is possibly the son of a German immigrant named Andreas Grim, the son of Frederick and Christiana Grimm. Andreas, or Andrew, came to America before 1758 and was naturalized on Apr. 14, 1762 at Antietam Furnace near Lewistown in Frederick Co., MD. Andreas is thought to have the following children: Christian, Peter, Armstrong, Charles, John (Johannes), Margaret, Sarah and Daniel." Poland states that Andreas may have married an Armstrong. The above proposal would rule out the tradition that Christian Grim was a Hessian deserter. There seem to be two Christian Grims mentioned in the Pennsylvania archives as veterans of the Am. Rev. One, Christian L. (Ludwig?) Grim, may have deserted. Jack Poland indicates that Christian Grim was born about 1758, while the Hunts give a date of about 1748. 5. Glenna L. Grim posted a query on FamilyTreemaker regarding Christian Grim. She wrote that Philip (or Andrew) Grim married Catherine Eva Thomas. They were the parents of Christian Grim, b. in Germany, Jan. 30, 1750, and that he was the father of Jahn Grim who was married to Jane Grandon. In an email to me she said that a cousin of her husband, a Gwendolyn (White) Ritchie had passed that information on to her. 6. In a book entitled German-American Genealogical Research Monographs, Number 1: Brunswick Deserter-Immigrants of the American Revolution by Clifford Neal Smith, (Heritage House, 1973), there is an Andreas Grimm (b. Hohegeiss, age 39 years, 11 months), who deserted in Potomac, 1778. Also, there is a Christian Grimm (b. Hohegeiss, age 27 years 0 months) in the service of the American enemy, but no place or date of capture. Given the relatively short span for the Revolutionary War, this Christian could not have been the son of the Andreas also listed; the ages are too close together. When I shared this last paragraph with another researcher, Ken Grim, he wrote back: There's another book that mentions a Christian Grim as a captured Hession soldier, according to a search for Christian Grim conducted through the Family Tree Maker web site. It's called German-American Genealogical Research Monographs No. 5: Mercenaries from Hessen-Hanau Who Remained in Canada and the U.S. After the American Revolution by Clifford Neal Smith.

She was born January 30, 1822 in Richhill Twp., GREENE, PA, and died May 04, 1910 in Wind Ridge, Richhill Twp, GREENE, PA. Notes for ARMSTRONG GRIMM: Armstrong was a farmer. We list a child by his second wife but that may be a grandson. Who was Armstrong Grim? (Written by Michael Grimm, mgrimm@edcen.ehhs.cmich.edu) Armstrong Grim was born in 1810 and died October 21, 1881 [tombstone inscription] in Greene County, PA. He is buried in the Jacksonville Cemetery in Wind Ridge, across from the Presbyterian Church. Armstrong was married to Mary Ann Scott, daughter of John Scott and Susannah Nyswanger, and after Mary's death in 1857, to Matilda S. Lincoln, in 1870. Armstrong was a farmer. In 1845 he, along with John Scott, were administrators of Adam Grim's estate. The big question about Armstrong is: who were Armstrong's parents? There are two thoughts on this point. One says that Armstrong was the son of Adam Grim and Hannah Syphers, the other says that he was the son of Charles Grim and Alcinda Armstrong. Here are the arguments for each side. My intent here is not to create hard feelings, but rather to examine the facts as we know them, and hopefully find others who can add to them. Armstrong's obituary in the Waynesburg Republican, Nov. 2, 1881 does not mention his parents. Neither does his will, which isn't surprising. Some researchers (Lanny Grim and Shirley Lazear, in particular) say that Armstrong is the son of Charles Grim and Alcinda Armstrong. Shirley's rationale is below: "...When I first started into genealogy I latched onto Adam as his father. Probably because of the estate [of Adam] and the fact that he was the only one that I could seem to find out much about around here since the others had moved away except for John. I was firmly convinced. Then as time went on I began to have some doubt. I could find nothing to really tie him to Armstrong. His other children I could find out about, but Armstrong never seemed to tie in. I have seen the estate records personally at the courthouse and as he [Adam] died intestate an executor had to be appointed. Armstrong was educated as well as John Scott. Armstrong lived in close proximity to Adam. Harper Grim's father, Harper, Sr. and I wrote and phoned each other for years about the Grims. As you may know, Harper Sr. was an attorney in Charleston, WV. He told me that if Armstrong was a son of Adam he would have had to sign off on the estate. I never saw anywhere that he did so. That was the first thing that made me a little unsure." Two notes here: Although Shirley says John Scott was educated, he did not sign his name on the administration papers. He only made his mark. And although there is no evidence that Armstrong signed off on Adam's estate, neither did anyone else. The file for the estate includes the letters of administration, an inventory of the estate, and the list of the sold inventory, with prices and the name of the person who purchased each item. The papers do not show any sort of distribution to Adam's family. The following comes from a paper in the possession of Olive Grim. The paper was written by Nelle M. (Grim) Saenz, granddaughter of Armstrong and Mary (Scott) Grim: "[Christian] was the father of Adam Grimm who was born in 1783 at Winchester, Va. Adam Grimm was father of Armstrong Grimm who was born in 1810 and died Oct. 8, 1881. [note the discrepancy in the date of death from his tombstone inscription and obituary] Armstrong Grimm was the father of John Grimm who was born Nov. 7, 1849. John Grimm's children are: Thos. A. Grimm his middle name is Armstrong Clara Grimm Jessie Grimm Nelle Grim, wife of Mr. Saenz, 2816 Abbott Pl - NW Canton 8, Ohio Harley Grimm of Washington, Pa, his wife's name is Nelle, too. The name of Armstrong was given to the Grimm children because when the Grimms were migrating to Greene County they were caught in a blizzard & would have perished but a family of Armstrongs took them in the next male child was named Armstrong after this Mr. Armstrong." Ken Grim, in an email to me in October, 1999, shared with me that he believes this to be accurate for two reasons. One, is the fact that Armstrong was administrator of Adam's estate. The other is the above paper by Nelle Grim Saenz, Armstrong's granddaughter. "Being a direct descendent of Adam and Armstrong, and active in genealogy, she should have known her family line well. Unless I see some better hard evidence somewhere, I think this is fairly conclusive that Armstrong was Adam's son rather than Charles'." Nelle could not have known her grandfather, Armstrong Grim, because he died before she was born. However, her father certainly could have learned of Armstrong's parents from Armstrong himself, and passed that information on to his parents. At this point, I am assigning Armstrong to Adam and Hannah based on his granddaughter's statement. If anyone has hard evidence for either argument, please contact me at: mgrimm@edcen.ehhs.cmich.edu ...................................................................

ANDREW JACKSON3 GRIMM (JOHN B.2, CHRISTIAN1) was born 1837 in Green County, PA, and died in Marshall County, WV. He married NANCY JANE GOOD in Pleasants County, WV, daughter of ABRAHAM GOOD and SARAH (UNKNOWN). She was born 1843 in Center Township, GREENE, PA, and died in Marshall County, WV. Notes for ANDREW JACKSON GRIMM: My mother remembered the brothers and sisters of her grandmother Hulda. That is how I acquired these names. Below is information I have found on the Grimm (Grim) family but it may not be connected with our Grimms. THE GRIM OR GRIMM FAMILY by Luther J. Grimm The Grim name originated from the ancient surname (Grym) of Scandinavia, and from it many similar names have evolved. The story that the family has ancient pedigree was brought to America by Egidius Grim who came to America in 1728. It has been handed down from generation to generation. The authenticity of these statements appears to be verified by some papers he brought with him and verified by later members of the family. The family had long been seated in Normandy, tracing its ancestry back to the Norsemen who made conquest to the south of their county in the tenth century, and family tradition says that the parent stem of the Grim family insofar as the Grims of Germany are concerned originated with the Norseman raider GRYM. In 911-912 Charles the Simple of France gave what is known as Normandy to Hrolf or Rollo, a chieftain or leader of one of these Norse bands because he was unable to overcome these dangerous foemen. The condition was that he, Rollo, would accept the duchy of Normandy as a feudal fife and that he would become his man or vassal. Rollo was married to Gisela, the daughter of Charles the Simple, and this was the start of the Norman Princess. Rollo was baptized into the Christian faith and it is noted that these savage Norsemen became good Normans, a name celebrated in history. These Norse sagas do really embody the true history of the Germanic race. Greeland has many evidences of their settlements and further south there are definite proofs that North American Indians absorbed these races. The name Grim originated from the Scandinavian surname "Grym" meaning fierce. From the 8th to 13th century, Norse sea rovers made raids on the settlements on the coast of Europe. In 787 they began their raids on England and France. The family of Grim is descended from a Norse raider named Grym who settled in Normandy in the 10th century. A coat of arms was granted to the Baron of Normandy who was a Grim serving under William the Conquerer. He came down from Scandinavia with Rudolph, a Norseman. From Normandy the Grims migrated to Alsace and Switzerland and with the persecution of the protestants, went to Germany. from: Washington County Historical Society, Washington County, Maryland The first land patent issued to Andrew Grim was July 26, 1753. There was a grant of land named "The French Vinyard" assigned to Andrew Grim December 10, 1752 for 940 acres. The French Vinyard was resurveyed for Andrew Grim September 29, 1761.

I have no Andrew Jackson Grim, but do have a Jackson Grim. This is what I have on him. Jackson Grim was born either 1834 or 1839. He was the son of John B. Grim and Jane Grandon. The 1850 census of Green Co. lists him with his parents. He was age 16, hence the 1834 birth date. Another source has given his birth date as 1839, which would match what you have. My sources have speculated that he may have died before 1870 when his father died, because he was not mentioned in his father's will. Do you have any clue as to Andrew J. Grimm's father? This could be a match. Some other clues: Jackson had a brother named Isaac Newton Grim. Your Andrew J. had a son named Isaac N. Grimm. Odd name, so it could be a clue. Also, many of the Grims from Greene Co. moved into WV. My direct line moved to Tyler Co. and then to Pleasants Co. before moving back to PA. Let me know what you think.

He and Hulda were married April 21, 1892 by Jessie Lloyd, minister of Friendly, WV Church. They were married at Cluster, WV. We need to check into why Thomas belonged to the ACUW Lodge in Shirley, WV. Could his wife have come from there? Could they have lived there before he moved to Glen Easton? I know that all of his children were not born in Glen Easton. Obituary: Thomas, son of Isaac and Annie Rawson, first saw the light of day on March 28, 1872, and passed in triumph to the invisible world on October 26, 1904, by an explosion of a boiler in which in which his body was hurled more than two hundred feet down the hillside, injuring him so that he died in about two hours. The loved and loving husband, son, and manly citizen is gone. He was stricken down in the thirty-second year, and only lingered for a few hours, after which he was wafted in triumph across the dark river of death. Tom, as he was called, was a successful pumper and machinist in the employ of the South Penn Oil Company, having won the respect and confidence of the company, and was liked by all. He was a member of the A.C.U.W. Lodge No. 46 Tent at Shirley, W.Va. carrying a policy of $2,000, which he leaves to his beloved wife. He had not reached on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point, but fell into that sleep that kisses down his eyelids still. The deceased leaves a wife, seven children, a father, three brothers and two sisters to mourn their lives. We extend to the bereaved family and relatives our sincere sympathy, in their great loss. We all lose our dearest friends on the Golden Shores of time, and while our hearts almost rend at the parting, we must always remember they have gone to a sunnier clime than ours. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Brooks of Waverly. He was laid to rest in the Malone Cemetery on Saturday forenoon, among the flowers he loved so well. Dearest Tom, good bye. A.W.F.

This name given at the time of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bed building in the year of 1847. A contractor in this kind of work - David Easton - came from Rochester, Pennsylvania, to build one section with the sponsors of this undertaking. Naturally, it required a lot of laborer's work, since pick and shovel and blasting powder were the prime movers in those days of road building. Getting back to the name of this quiet little hamlet. When the work had progress far enough, the cross-ties and rails laid, the railroad company wanted a spur track or siding added, which was done. Thus the name - Easton's Siding. This siding was used extensively by the R. R. Company as a distributing point for railroad and other equipment. At that time the nearest post office was on Fork Ridge, three miles distance. However, as is well known, the railroad was declared finished at Rosby's Rock in 1852. The first general store was established at Easton's Siding in 1851 by a Mr. Totten, later an agent for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The ticket office and first post office were established in his store. A short time later J. P. Wayman became the agent. When there became need of a saw mill in this section. J. M. Harris, son of Charles Harris, supplied the want and located same on the creek where the town of Glen Easton now stands. It was operated by steam power and by the good management of Mr. Harris, was made both serviceable to all the people and profitable to him. Next came the demand for a corn-grinding mill and Harris was prevailed upon to install a set of corn-grinding burrs. Soon after this improvement was made, the Civil War broke out and Harris enlisted. During his absence the mill was operated by renters. It was some time after he returned from serving in the Union Army that he installed the flour mill. The establishment of the mill was the beginning of the town of Glen Easton which has long been a business center of that section of the county. At the death of J. M. Harris, the mill was closed for seven years, reopened in 1936, continuing until 1954. The Glen Easton Post Office was established September 9, 1854. Rural delivery was established April 1, 1909. Two rural routes were maintained until February 29, 1952 when the routes were consolidated into one, which has continued to serve the area to the present time. The first family living in the area before the railroad was completed was George Harris. The second family was David Easton, who built a log cabin in 1847. The cabin is still standing on the original site with a cemetery close by, where Easton was buried. The cabin has served as a hotel, a magistrate's office and a private home. Glen Easton once knew a period of glory from 1900, when gas and oil were struck, until 1925; it was a live town that flourished in a business way as much as any other town in northern West Virginia. It consisted of 40 homes, population 200, six passenger trains daily; freight trains every thirty minutes; modern railroad station and telegraph office; four general stores; modern Union Church with Sunday school, resident minister, Rev. Craig; two resident physicians: Dr. J. W. Rickey, Dr. W. F. Crow; stock receiving and dispensing center, W. A. Stewart, Mgr.; W. H. Dowler boarding house; a baseball team; a brass band with twenty-five members, an ice house owned by Bill Wilson; a creamery; threshing machine operated by the Hubbs boys; a two-room school; a fruit stand run by Charley Alberts and brothers. Ben Bonar owned a barber shop and the J. M. Harris Flour Mill. Organizations included the J. Elmer Post No. 77 GAR: IOOF Lodge; Jr. QUAM No. 26; Roy S. Hubbs Post No. 11 (1911-1922), American Legion; the post office with rural free delivery; a confectionery, Balsh Hager proprietor; two blacksmith shops operated by Bruce Richmond and Walter Evans; major oil and gas development. Nine soldiers served in the Spanish-American War: Dr. W. F. Crow, Dan Wilson, Tug Wilson, Albert Ingram, George Lowe, Charley Hubbs, Richard Burkley, Charles Grimes, and Frank Hubbs. Glen Easton today has changed, due primarily to the change in transportation. The railroad has been removed, the school and mill have been town down, with the lone remaining business the general store. The mainstay of the community today is the post office which has grown due to a housing development and other homes being built on the ridges. Glen Easton has survived and is still on the map. ................................................................................ . Children of HULDA GRIMM and JOHN RAWSON are: 95. i.

Mrs. Fox was a native of Waverly, W.Va., where she was born on December 22, 1895, a daughter of Mrs. Hilda Rawson and the late Thomas Rawson. She attended the schools of Waverly where she spent her early years, later residing at Sistersville. She was a member of the Christian Church.

Myrtle was married a second time to George Smith. He was thirty-four years of age and she was twenty-eight years old at the time of the marriage. The marriage did not last very long.

ESSIE ANN5 RAWSON (HULDA ANN4 GRIMM, ANDREW JACKSON3, JOHN B.2, CHRISTIAN1) was born March 05, 1897 in Waverly, WOOD, WV, and died April 03, 1974 in Wheeling, OHIO, WV. She married JOHN (HAPPY) MARTIN. Notes for ESSIE ANN RAWSON: Essie's marriage to John was not successful. I believe she lived for a number of years in Turtle Creek, Pa, near her brother Gay. She later moved to Baltimore, MD and operated a rooming house through the 1930's, 1940's, and early 1950's. She was very successful with the business and was able to create a sizable retirement fund. She moved to Wheeling in the late 1950's when her grandson John Martin, Jr. came to live with her. I believe his parents divorced and John needed to finish high school. Essie later moved to Florida with her sister Hattie. She came to Wheeling in early 1970 and lived in her sister's trailer court. She fell over some rugs in her house and broke her hip. She was hospitalized and later transferred to Peterson Hospital where she died. Norman, her brother-in- law was also in the hospital (stroke) and died one month before her. She told her niece Margaret Ann Smith, "You don't have to tell me. I know Norman is dead." Obituary: Mrs. Essie R.

GERTRUDE MARIE5 RAWSON (HULDA ANN4 GRIMM, ANDREW JACKSON3, JOHN B.2, CHRISTIAN1) was born February 12, 1904 in Glen Easton, MARSHALL, WV, and died January 06, 1972 in Wheeling, OHIO, WV. She married (1) HOMER BYRON SMITH July 11, 1920 in Sistersville, WV, son of ELLSWORTH SMITH and MARGARET BEAVER. He was born February 29, 1904 in New Matamoras, MONROE, OH5, and died July 16, 1981 in Wheeling, OHIO, WV5. She married (2) NORMAN DOAK LONG July 15, 1946, son of RANSOM LONG and MIRA (UNKNOWN). He was born May 25, 1902 in Forty-Fort, PA6, and died May 03, 1974 in Wheeling, OHIO CO., WV6. Notes for GERTRUDE MARIE RAWSON: Gertrude belonged to the Moose Lodge and the Eastern Star (Shrine) both of which were in Wheeling, WV. She liked to crochet and play bingo and belonged to a bunco club. She and Norman, her second husband, founded Long's Trailer Court in 1945. There was an article in the early 1950's which gave the history of Long's Trailer Court. Norman started the business because there were so many soldiers returning from the war who were beginning families and no housing was available. He saw this as a solution to the problem. He and Gertrude ran the business until their deaths; Margaret Ann Smith, daughter, continued to operate the business. Gertrude worked for the WPA food line during the Great Depression. It was during this time that she had to live on a houseboat with her four children. She wall-papered the house boat with newspapers to keep it warm and clean. John and Gay, her sons, used to jump on the coal trains and throw coal down so that they could have heat in the winter. Daughter Margaret remembers standing in line at the Wheeling Hospital for food left that day after serving the patients. Gertrude reared her four children alone when her first marriage dissolved. She attended First Christian Church in Wheeling and later changed to Chapline Street Methodist Church (now called Aldersgate United Methodist Church). She talked about how she had burned flour to make gravy to put over bread for dinners. In their later years, Norman and Gertrude traveled (Winnebago motor home) to California, Mexico, and Florida. Her favorite saying was "It's no sin to be poor, but it is a sin to be dirty." She once told a story about her childhood in Glen Easton. Her mother took the horse and buggy to town and left her alone on the farm. She was so angry, she started to chant... "come, devil. come!" She said she saw a ball of fire appear in the middle of the living room floor. It scared her so badly that she ran out of the house and stayed there until her mother came home. She married young and lived in Sistersville until she needed to raise her children alone. I believe her sister Hattie helped her and that is why they moved to Wheeling, WV. Before Grandmother died, my sister Jackie said to her, "Grandmother, when you die will you come back to us..(spirit)?" Grandmother said, "If I could, I will." She never did come back. She deserves the quiet rest. Gertrude is buried at Park View Memorial Gardens, Wheeling, WV. I walked with her when they bought the lots and she said how beautiful it was and that she could look over the hills of Wheeling. The cemetery is very near Olgebay Park.

He was born October 16, 1920 in Terre Haut, VIGO, IN8, and died April 22, 1988 in Wellsburg, BROOKE, WV8. Notes for MARGARET ANN SMITH: This is the most difficult addition for me to enter. It was my mother who inspired me to research the Smith and Rawson genealogy these past five years. She searched through old Bibles, talked with as many relatives as she could, and recalled old stories and events when she was a child. Last summer, (1997) I returned to Wheeling, WV, and we both travelled through three states collecting as much information as we could find. We visited Wellsburg and my father's three sisters. My Aunt June gave me as much information as she could remember. My other two aunts, Margaret and Reva, supplied old pictures of the family. Afterwards, we visited the cemetery where most of the Smiths are buried. We later went to Cadis, Ohio, and researched the courthouse for William Smith's will. Later we tackled the Rawson side of the family. We spent most of the time near the Parkersburg, WV, area gleaning courthouse information and visiting cemeteries. We even found the grave of her grandfather, John Thomas Rawson who died October 26, 1904. Malone Cemetery is south of Sistersville and many miles into the hills of West Virginia. I finally asked a young man for directions and he took us directly there. The dirt road wound through forests, up hills, and across streams. We finally stopped and he pointed in the direction of a lumber trail. Mother and I started the long climb up that hill to a very small and private cemetery. Since we both had heart trouble we would stop and rest and talk about the family. There we found the graves of her grandfather and great grandfather. It is hard for me to realize that nine months later she would be joining them. I want to keep one memory clearly in my mind. Mother and I travelled from Sistersville, WV to Fly, Ohio on the old Ohio River ferryboat which her father used to pilot. We went onto the captain's bridge and talked with the owner who remembered her father well and they both seemed to enjoy the conversation. I wish I knew what memories my mother was recalling that day. Margaret was married at an early age in the late 1930's. She divorced a few years later and remarried. She worked different jobs including Warwick China Factory, a waitress, a hobby shop, Kraus Stamping Plant, and a secretary and book keeper for City Window Cleaning Company. She later took over her mother's trailer park. She was a member of Aldersgate Methodist Church (former Chaplain Street Methodist Church) for over fifty years. Margaret Ann was divorced since 1951 and devoted her life to her children and her family. She later said that it was her children who gave her the most happiness. She loved to be in her garden where she could cultivate and see things grow. She was especially fond of her rose garden just outside her bedroom window. She would say that she could smell the roses as she was waking. She also loved wild flowers, and when she would return from her daughter Judy's house in Frederick, MD, she would bring back those flowers and she would pamper them in her garden. Margaret was cremated and laid to rest at Parkview Memorial Gardens in June of 1998. Richard had already returned to Germany; Judy, Jackie, granddaughter Michele were present to put her to rest. At Richard's request a little of her ashes were placed in her rose garden near her bedroom window. She will always be part of that ground, still nurturing the roses.

Eulogy: Aldersgate United Methodist Church, May 5, 1998 Hello, my name is Sharon Fondriest and Aunt Marg was my mother's sister. It warms my heart to see all who came here today to celebrate and not mourn her passing. I stand in unity for my father, Pete, Aunt Mary, and David for this comes from our hearts. The reason I say this is because we should be in celebration that Aunt Marg is now with Jesus in a peaceful and wonderful place. We pray someday we will be joined again as family and friends. I would like all of you to take a moment and say hello to your neighbors and shake hands for we are all friends in one union today. I brought these three roses today which represent Aunt Marg's life. We all know red stands for love, yellow for friendship, and white for purity. I don't think there is anyone here today that cannot agree with me that Aunt Marg touched us all with each and every rose in some way. I cannot promise that I will not cry during this but like all here I would not be human if I didn't. Aunt Marg meant so much to so many people. To her children she was and will always be their lifeline whether on earth or in heaven. She taught you well and it shows in you and in your children and grandchildren. It shows in all the nieces and nephews, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, cousins, friends. She taught us kindness, patience and love for family. She was a wonderful companion to Jim and him to her. And to Jim's children sitting here today, she accepted all of you with open arms and therefore you all became part of our family. I guess the memory I have of her is Sally's and Saint Vincents. If that woman didn't go every day, something was amiss. I am sure that we all remember some gift she gave us lovingly even if it was not quite in style or size or our taste, but we accepted it lovingly, knowing it was from her heart. She passed so many things on to so many people: to Christine, the love of gardening; to Shelly, the addiction of soap operas; to myself, she taught me the value of family. She showed this every day by the pictures and stories she told of the good memories. She would come over to our house in Newcomerstown and before she even unpacked she was working on Mom's garden. I never saw such a love for plants and living things. That was one thing I didn't get from her. It you want it to live, don't give it to me. To Keith, she gave the courage to stand up for himself. To Mark, to always keep your gift of helping others. To Pete, my father, and Aunt Mary.... you are now the heads of our family. In you we will continue to look for guidance, wisdom, and love of family ties. My beloved mother, Delores, once gave her sister, Margaret, a small white pillow which said, "Chance made us sisters, hearts made us friends." I know your heart is open today receiving the most precious love and that is the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. To all here there is nothing we could say to make this passing easier except that we now have one more Guardian Angel in heaven to watch over us. As you look around today you will notice all of us (the family united) are wearing a Guardian Angel pin over our hearts. Aunt Marg would always say, "May the Guardian Angel watch over you" when she was saying good bye. It is time to let her be at peace. Her work is done on this earth; our work is yet to be finished. Somewhere high above us right now she is smiling and saying, "May the Guardian Angel watch over all of you." .........................................................................

In August of 2000, I wrote to the National Archives and Records Administration requesting his army records. They sent me a certification of military service from July 16, 1942 to August 16, 1945. His last rank was Private First Class and his military number was 15078494. The letter said that On July 12, 1973 they had suffered from a fire and many of the records were lost.

Darling, you will have to forgive me for not writing more often but Pete, it has been impossible. But, now it is all over, maybe I can write you more often. I am sort of celebrating tonight. I have a quart of cognac. It sure is rough stuff. I am saving my celebration until I come home. Then we will raise hell, won't we. I think I am good for a week drunk anyway. I have so many souvenirs to bring home. I doubt if I can carry them all. Pete, you will have to excuse my writing. I haven't written for so damn long. I have about forgotten how and stop and take a drink every once in awhile. Well honey, hope all the children are fine. Tell them Dad loves them all and hope to see them soon. Please don't expect much. Honey, you know I love you even if you do get in my hair every once in awhile. I guess I will never stop. Well Pete, kiss the kids for me and keep your fingers crossed. Maybe it won't be to long now. Love and kisses, Your husband, Jack May 30, 1945 Dearest Pete, Have been receiving your most welcome letters but honey I haven't been able to answer them. Have been so damn busy. I have taken each of the German soldiers as they come in. But I will write every chance I get. Well honey, about these points... I have 100 on the nose... am expecting to go to the states on the next shipment. It won't be long I hope. I know I am in for a discharge. It won't be too long anyway. You can start fill the ice box with beer and have it good and cold. I am good for a two-week drunk anyway. No kidding, I am expecting to leave about the third of next month. Well Pete, I am in the best of health .. never felt better and ready to go if you know what I mean. Since the war has been over, I have gained about ten pounds. You'll see what I mean. I was notified yesterday that I was getting the bronze star. I don't know what the hell for ... maybe for eating spam sandwiches. I don't know. Anyway honey, I am so damn glad to get out of this army. I don't know what to do. You know eleven months is a long time being shot. I think I am a little gun shy. Honey, I sent home a damn good shotgun about a couple of weeks ago. Take good care of it. It is worth plenty of money. Honey, I don't see why you should all worry so much now that the war is over and I am coming home. Nothing more to worry about, only if they have enough beer in Wheeling to stay drunk for awhile. Well honey, tell all the children I said hello and daddy loves them. You might call up Mother and June if you want to and tell them I am O.K. I haven't written them for a while. Well Pete, keep your nose clean. I don't think you will like my haircut when you see it. I love you Pete, but I guess you already know that. Love and kisses, Jack June 13, 1945 Dear Pete, Well honey, we have moved again. We are now in southern Germany. I can remember the name of the town. We are seventy-five miles from Munich. Well Pete, I am still sweating out coming home. I don't know when I will get to come. Don't worry, I will call you up before I came home or just as soon as I can. Well honey, It is a couple of days later, June 16 in fact. I still don't know what the hell to write. I don't know when the hell I will get to come home. Wish to hell I did so I wouldn't have to seat it out anymore. I sure will be glad to get out of this damn army. Well honey, I got the Presidential Citation. It doesn't count anymore points though. Yes, Pete, I received your picture. You look a little older but still sweet as ever. I am getting more lonely everyday .. even bald headed. Well honey, I have to take off again ... have to go on patrol. I love you. Tell the kids hello for me. Love, Jack June 26, 1945 Dearest Pete, Well Pete, everything is going along as well as can be expected. Am still sweating out coming home. Don't know when the hell it will be... soon I hope. I know I will be home before Xmas. I was told that today. Pete, what the hell is wrong... aren't you getting my mail? Hell fire, I am writing you every chance I get... don't know what is wrong. Honey, there isn't any use to send you a cable gram. Your letter got here quicker than the cable gram. Pete, this occupation in Germany is a hell of a job. Don't like it worth a damn. It beats getting shot at though. We have a lot of guard duty to do and a lot of patrolling. Honey, I have troubles... don't know what to do after I get out of the army. I do know one thing...am not going back to the steel mills...the hell with that. I think I would like to move to California and go in the trucking business. Above all Pete, I am going to get ahead in life... no more pennies for me. I want you and my children to have everything you want. Above all, I want one hell of a nice home.. plenty of doe, a new car every year, and plenty to drink. We deserve it and will have it. Pete, you never say anything about Charles and Ann. Does Charles think he will get out of the army? Hope the hell he does. He deserves the break. Honey, I'm in a town they call Ottobensen..... isn't a bad town..it is suppose to have the most beautiful church in Germany. The beer isn't worth a damn though. Well honey, I love you and miss you very much. Tell the kids Dad loves them. Love, Jack July 11, 1945 Dearest Pete, Well Pete, I am still sticking around. Damn, I would be home before now. Honey, I am supposed to move out of this Division before the 12th of this month. Where I will go, I don't know. I don't know whether or not I will start home or not. I will write and let you know though. Honey, keep on writing to me. Heaven know when I will get home. Keep on writing to this address until I tell you different, but heaven's sakes write! Having got a truck coming through but have expected to leave any day. Well Pete, everything is going along well. I'm even getting a little to drink lately. I threw on a good one the other day. I tried to tear the damn town down. I tried to drown a couple of krauts. I got one black eye ... where the hell I got it, I don't know ... think I was in trouble about four times. Well Pete, I made P.F.C. .... (last page missing) (After Jack returned to the states, he began working with Charles Smythe laying block tile floors.
