This is one of a series of "Clan" books that document the genealogical records of the children of James Gentry French (1755-1939), who went by his middle name, Gentry. A "clan" is defined as all the descendants of a child of Gentry's by one of his three wives: Margret Amanda Burgner, Louisa Jane McCollum, and Sadie Nancy Shively. Gentry's sons Archie and Waldon had no children, so they will not have a clan book. That means the clans are Claude, Sabra, Gilbert, Leonard, Emmett, and Fred (children of Margret); Crawford and Presley (children of Louisa); Beatrice, , Viola, and Lu Etta (children of Sadie).

The Claude Clan comprises the descendants of Claude Smith French (1879-1951), Gentry and Margaret's oldest child, and his wife Mary Ethel Dailey (1880-1971), known as "Ethel." Ethel's ancestry is included in this book, while Claude's may be found in the book James Gentry French and His Three Wives. Gentry's ancestry is included in the book Unknown French to Gentry French - Five Generations.

The children of Claude have Louisa McCollum, Ethel's mother, as both maternal grandmother and paternal step-grandmother. When Louisa, widow of William Millard Dailey and mother of Ethel Dailey, married Gentry, Ethel and Gentry's son Claude became stepbrother and stepsister. Ethel and Claude must have hit it off well, since they were married two months after their parents' marriage. Claude thereupon had Louisa as both stepmother and mother-in-law.

The Dailey family is researched by Sylvia Marcotte ([email protected]), a descendant of W. M. Dailey.

43 Ancestors of Mary Ethel Dailey

Generation No. 1

1. Mary Ethel Dailey, born 1 Jun 1880 in Lineville, IA; died 16 Feb 1971 in Douglas, NE. She was the daughter of 2. William Millard Dailey and 3. Louisa Jane McCollum. She married (1) Claude Smith French 2 Oct 1898 in M. E. Church, Parker, SD. He was born 3 Aug 1879 in Norborne, MO, and died 21 Dec 1951 in Douglas, NE. He was the son of James Gentry French and Margret Amanda Burgner.

Notes for Mary Ethel Dailey: From Ethel's son Dean:

My memory of meals my mother made is quite dim. I do know that we had home made bacon, sausage, bread, cake, cookies, and croissants Then too we had other pork cuts, and all the cuts of beef which were usually roasted in the oven; barbecue grilling was unknown. Milk came from our cows, butter was churned from the separated cream, flour came from the mill where we took wheat to be milled into flour. At the store, we bought yeast, shortening (like Crisco), sugar, salt, peanut butter in glass jars, flavorings, etc. In short, because of the very considerable talents of my parents, we were very well fed and almost self-sustaining. We also bought rolled oats (oatmeal) in a round cardboard container, cream of wheat in a box, and flour sometimes in 50-pound sacks.

Breakfast was pancakes with sausage or bacon in season, or cream -of -wheat or oatmeal both of which had to be cooked for several minutes. Great home made soda biscuits were often on the table. Lunch and supper was not that varied - heavy on mashed potatoes and gravy. Always we had delicious homemade bread and butter at every meal. Most of the gravy was 'cream,' i.e., made in a large cast iron skillet with a tablespoon of bacon drippings into which a couple tablespoons of flour was stirred and browned, then whole milk was added and cooked and simmered until the desired consistency was reached. Delicious. Potatoes came from the cellar where a year's supply from a large potato patch was stored every early fall. Also, in the cellar we had turnips, carrots, beets, and all kinds of home canned vegetables and meats. For snacks we had peanut butter and home made jelly sandwiches; our school lunches were commonly peanut butter sandwiches, with a couple cookies or a piece of cake, and sometimes an apple, orange, or banana. In sum, our menus were simple and mostly of home made ingredients; there were no pre-packaged or instant anything available. All bakery items were made from scratch - sift the flour, mix in the yeast and shortening, and salt, knead the dough for 10 or 15 minutes, roll the dough out on a board, shape it into loaves or cake or cookie mode, let it 'rise for half hour or so, place it in the appropriate pan, stick it in the oven of the wood-burning kitchen stove and bake it until 'golden' brown. In the

44 summer time, we often had fresh grapes, peaches, plums, apples and pears from the garden as well as watermelon and muskmelon. For special treats, we made homemade ice cream with a hand-cranked freezer (using ice delivered to the kitchen icebox once or twice a week). In winter we often had home grown popcorn after supper as we played some kind of card games. Our entertainment was very basic as there was no TV, and radio was by crystal set (no electricity) which was of poor and intermittent reception. In the 30's, radios powered by lead-acid batteries (like heavy car batteries) were available and provided 2 or 3 hours of better but not good reception of programs of limited cultural content before the batteries were exhausted. Otherwise, our time was spent growing, gathering, and reaping and storing the fundamental necessities; and preparing the foodstuffs for the table.

Prepare the meals by adding a pinch of this, or a spoonful of that, stirring and mixing and cooking or baking by instinct and experience. There were no exotic dishes.

Notes for Claude Smith French: Claude was a jack-of-all-trades. More than a farmer, he was a blacksmith, carpenter, butcher, cobbler, mechanic, and could do almost anything one might want to do around a farm, e.g., shoe horses.

According to his obituary, he was a resident of the Douglas, NE area for 40 years, and was a member of the Christian Church.

Generation No. 2

Louisa Jane McCollum Abt. 1879 in Missouri?. 3. Louisa Jane McCollum, born 2 Dec 1861 in Hoosier, IN2; died 4 Jun 1909 in Panama, Lancaster Co., NE. She was the daughter of 6. Enos Francis McCollum and 7. Anna Vinzant.

Notes for William Millard Dailey: In 1849 William moved from Ohio to Illinois. In 1869 he was in Wayne County, IA, as indicated by a mortgage dated 23 Mar 1869. On 17 Jan 1877 he paid off mortgage of $1800 for farm. In 1885 he was in Mercer County, Mo. All this information from an unknown genealogist in World Family Tree Vol 1.

Inscription on his tombstone: "Kind angels watch his sleeping dust till angels come to raise the just"

Inscribed on the memorial near his grave is the picture of a dove flying through gates (?). Above are the words "at rest."

45 Notes for Louisa Jane McCollum: Louisa's name was prounounced with a long "I" (Lou-wise-a). According to a note on the back of Louisa's picture, written by either daughter Mary Ethel or by Gentry, Louisa was born in 1861, not 1860, as her tombstone says.

Notes for Ruth Alma Dailey: OBITUARY

Mrs. Ruth Alma Ballon was born July 15, 1888, at Lineville, Iowa, to Louisa (McCollum) and William Dailey. She spent her girlhood at Lineville, later moving with her parents to the Douglas - Syracuse, Nebraska area. Here she was united in marriage to Jay W. Thompson, Sr. Nine children were born to this union. In 1934 she was married to Joseph G. Ballon. She moved with Mr. Ballon to a ranch south of Atkinson, Nebraska, and lived there until 1955 when they retired and made their home in Lincoln, Nebraska. Since 1961 she made her home at Alliance, Nebraska, with her son, Richard Thompson and his family. Throughout her lifetime she was a devoted and wonderful mother to her children. She departed this life September 14, 1972.

Prom early womanhood she held a constant appreciation for all of nature, community involvement, her family and their edacation. She was eager to be involved with teaching Sunday School, dramatics and school plays, creative writing of prose and poetry, art and fancywork, gardening, raising animals and was an outstanding homemaker. She was a past president of the National Iris Society and was widely known for the beautiful flowers which she raised. She especially loved the beauty of Nebraska’s Sandhills.

She had a special interest and concern for the welfare of all children, especially her grandchildren. Her home was always open to friends, the stranger, the weary and the hungry. Community involvement was her forte. As a good mother, she reared her children in the Christian faith, took them to Sunday School and church, and encouraged the reading of the Holy Bible. Many of her children had read this sacred book completely through by her knee by the time they had reached the age of nine. She loved to play hymns on the piano and organ and had her family and friends join her to sing together. She encouraged and helped her children with their education.

She seemed never to grow old and pursued most of her hobbies and interests until the very day the Lord called her home.

46 Mrs. Ballon is survived by six children: Mrs. Ruby Warta, Portland, Oregon, Mrs. Frankie McClees, Lincoln, Nebraska, Mr. Virgil Thompson, Springfield, Illinois, Mr. Darl Thompson, Portland, Oregon, Mrs. Marilyn Skinner, Lincoln, Nebraska and Mr. Richard Thompson, Alliance, Nebraska. She is also survived by three brothers: Mr. Earl Dailey, Smolan, Kansas, Mr. Crawford French, Grand Island, Nebraska, and Mr. Presley French, Central City, Nebraska. She was preceded death by Mr. Jay W. Thompson, Sr., Mr. Joseph G. Ballon; brothers Rev. W. 0. Dailey, Mr. John Dailey and Mr. Austin Dailey; three children, Keith, Joy and Claudia; and by her sister, Mrs. Ethel French. Other survivors include thirty one grand children, forty great-grand children, and six great-great-grand children.

John and his father Peter and some other men went out on patrol, got captured by Indians, tortured, and Peter got burned at the stake. John Wiley Dailey got away and lived to have his grandson pass on the story.

Children of John Dailey and Mary DeWees are: 2 i. William Millard Dailey, born 24 Oct 1818 in Morrow Co., OH; died 7 Dec 1892 in Powersville, Putnam Co., MO; married (1) Mary Collins 10 Oct 1844 in Marioon County, OH; married (2) Eunice Blair Woodman 28 Aug 1851 in Knox County, IL; married (3) Louisa Jane McCollum Abt. 1879 in Missouri?. ii.

6. Enos Francis McCollum9, born 22 Sep 1834 in Randolph Co., NC10; died 16 Aug 1926 in Haddam, Brandford Township, Washington Co., KS11. He was the son of 12. William McCollum and 13. Sarah Spoon. He married 7. Anna Vinzant 6 Mar 1859 in Henricks Co., Indiana. 7. Anna Vinzant12, born Abt. 1834 in Indiana13; died 23 Nov 1880 in Lineville, Wayne Co., IA. She was the daughter of 14. William Vinzant and 15. Louisa King.

Notes for Enos Francis McCollum: Enos's birthplace is shown as "Nashville, Indiana" on his death certificate, which seems unlikely. Date of death on his headstone is incorrect.

During the Civil War, Enos was enrolled as a private on 12 August 1862, in Company H of the 99th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers. He was honorably discharged at Indianapolis on 5 June 1865. (Declaration for an Original Disability Pension, 1890). He served as a musician.

Enos's line is tracked by Patricia McCrae, [email protected], who has copies of his voluminous pension-application file. She believes that Elizabeth Hines and Elizabeth Goodwin were the same person, Elizabeth Hines having had a previous husband named Goodwin.

Notes for Anna Vinzant: Enos's wife is listed as "Anna" in the 1880 census, which shows that her parents were born in Ohio. Going by the census, she was about 46 when she died (from childbirth) in 1880, but Pati McCrae shows her age as 42 at time of death, presumably based on tombstone information. She is buried together with daughter Mary, who died when only 10 days old. A twin brother, unnamed, was probably stillborn.

From Vernon Vinzant, 913 Stafford Casper, WY 82609-3204:

It appears that all of Anna's older siblings were born in Ohio. Primary reason for identifying Anna as born in Indiana is the 1850 census, but other data supports a move to Indiana about 1832.

From Donna Hunter, Anna's great granddaughter:

It was told to the family by an older relative of Grandma Renshaw's [Cinderella McCollum] that her mother [Anna] was Indian, and that grandma's parents were married in a Catholic

48 church at Watson. Her [Anna] Indian name was Rosella Whitehorse. The church burned-- records unknown. Also my dad remembered Uncle Jim [Anna's son James] and a sister. Dad said Jim looked like an Indian Scout. When I was a young girl I remember pictures at grandma's. She said they were relatives, and they were Indian! Don't know more. She was not eager to talk about them.

[Now we have another mystery, as Cinderella's mother is named Mary Raven in her obituary. - mlf]

Children of Enos McCollum and Anna Vinzant are: i. Sarah E. McCollum14, born 28 Dec 1859 in Hendricks Co., IN14; died Aft. 1926; met (1) James William Vinzant; born 7 Feb 1853; married (2) Unknown Moore.

Marriage Notes for Sarah McCollum and James Vinzant: Patricia McCrae says that Sarah and James may not have been married, as they were first cousins.

3 ii. Louisa Jane McCollum, born 2 Dec 1861 in Hoosier, IN; died 4 Jun 1909 in Panama, Lancaster Co., NE; married (1) William Millard Dailey Abt. 1879 in Missouri?; married (2) James Steen Abt. 1894 in Missouri; married (3) James Gentry French 1 Aug 1898 in Missouri. iii. William Sherman McCollum15, born 9 Dec 1863 in Hendricks Co., IN16; died Bef. 1917 in Nevada?17 iv. James Henry McCollum18, born 10 May 186619; died 22 Jan 1921 in Twin Falls, ID.

Notes for James Henry McCollum: Notes from Pati McCrea:

Died in Twin Falls Co, ID 22 Jan 1921, buried 26 Jan 1921, death certificate #33219, State of Idaho, occupation laborer, widowed, age 55 years, 8 months, 20 days, father "Ennis" McCollum. Informant Harry McCollum. Also known as George McCollum

[If the age data is correct, James was born 2 May 1865, not 10 May 1866, which comes from Mary Jane Forney.]

Newspaper article: "Gun Used With Deadly Effect - Shooting in Room at St. Regis House Results in Death of H.B. McCollum" H.B. McCollum is dead, J.L. Wenger is suffering from serious injuries on the head, and Ed. I. Slagle is held by the criminal authorities to answer a charge of murdering the former and assaulting the latter. The affray took place on Saturday night in the St. Regis rooming house on shoshone Street South. Statements as to causes which led to the shooting are conflicting, as made by Slagel, Wenger, and Jensen. Former alleges that an attempt was made by McCollum, Wenger and Jensen, and that he shot to protect his property and possibly his own life. Wenger, who resides with his wife at 644 Elm Street, says the assault was entirely unprovoked, and had all the aspects of a deliberate attempt to hold up the three men. In this statement, Jensen gives some support. Wenger was beaten about the head with a revolver, used in the shooting of McCollum. Wenger states he grappled with Slagle after McCollum had been shot down, in an effort to save himself from a similar fate. All the men implicated admit that they had arranged to play a game of poker in a St Regis house room engaged by Wenger. The latter, McCollum and Jensen reached the room ahead of Slagle, Wenger and Jensen say. A fire was started in a small stove and other preparations were making for the game when, according to Wenger, Slagle appeared at the door. McCollum, it is said, met Slagle at the door and invited him in, but the latter, after taking note of the number of the room, passed down the hall to a lavatory. In a few minutes, according to an account detailed today by Wenger, Slagle

49 returned and as he entered the room drew a revolver from his shirt and ordered the men to put up their hands. Wenger, at the time the order was issued was stooped over picking up poker chips which he had spilled. McCollum is related to have imemdiately complied with the order and then was shot. The missle struck immediately under and to one side of the heart, ranging upward in passage through the body until it passed out of the back just below the shoulder blade. Jensen, it is said, crawled under a bed, while Wenger attacked Slagle, seizing the revolver to save his own life. In the struggle that ensued Slagle got uncontrolled possession of the weapon and smashed his victim on the head a number of times, inflicting a number of bad scalp gashes. While the fight was on Wenger attracted attention of persons on the street and in the house by shouting for help. Jensen came to his aid and the two men managed to push the fighting Slagle from the room, down the hall to the head of the stairs, where Policeman Frank Austin took Slagle in custody. Wenger, bleeding profusely from his many hurts, hastened to Dr. Clouchek's office where the injuries were treated. He was later arrested by Deputy Sheriff H.C. Van Ausdein at his home on Elm Street. Jensen was immediately taken in charge as a witness and is being held for the preliminary examination. Following his arrest, Slagle is said to have advised the sheriff that the three men attacked him as he entered the room and that he pulled the gun to defend himself. He says he carried the weapon in his hip pocket. Slagle is a sheep camp tender, and came here some months ago from Washington state. Wenger is a concrete finisher by trade, but of late, he admits, he has not had much employment at anythning. He picked apples and topped beets during the fall, and lately has been employed by Dr. Gilbert Telford as janitor, he says. He has one child, a boy of nine years. Slagle says he was last employed by Case and Schildman of Filer. Wenger says he had never played a game of cards with Slagle before, but this statement is denied by Slagle. McCollum, the dead man, worked at common labor, was about 60 years of age and has a son about 25 years old living in Twin Falls. Slagle is 48 years of age and Jensen slightly younger. a raid of the St. Regis roomsthe first of the year yeilded some undesirable men and women in the dragnet of the sheriff's forces. Carl Davidson is the proprietor. (copy of newspaper clipping sent by Mary Jane Fortney)

v. Lovey Ann McCollum20, born 15 Sep 1868.

Notes for Lovey Ann McCollum: Lovey was named after her Aunt Lovey Ann, Enos's sister.

vi. Enos A. McCollum21, born 15 Jun 1871 in Iowa22; married (1) Ellen Armina Elizabeth Lamb; born 6 Jan 1878; died Aug 1968; married (2) MaryElla Elizabeth Ekiss Sep 1907; born 26 Jan 1885 in Mercer Co., MO.

Notes for Enos A. McCollum: Enos deserted his large family 1 September 1906 after the birth of his seventh child, Hiram, taking seven-year-old Myrtle with him. He later remarried (to Mary) and had two daughters and one son before leaving her too. About that time Myrtle returned to her mother. It is unknown what became of Enos after that. vii. Cinderalla Ann McCollum22, born 2 Feb 1874 in Lineville, Wayne Co., IA23; died 14 Jan 1959 in Hamburg, IA; married Charles W Renshaw; born 1 Sep 186824; died 28 Jan 1957 in Hamburg, IA25.

Notes for Cinderalla Ann McCollum: Marvin Maxwell French recalls family trips in the car to see "Aunt Cinny" in Iowa. His mother Ethel and Cinny were very close, which accounts for Cinny's giving the name Ethel to her daughter.

Obituary, Hamburg Reporter, 5 Feb 1959:

Cinderella A. McCollum Renshaw, daughter of Enos and Mary Raven McCollum, was born Feb. 2, 1874, at Lineville, Iowa, and died Jan. 14, 1959, at the Community Hospital in Hamburg at the age of 84 years, 11 months, and 12 days.

50 She was united in marriage to Charles W. Renshaw, Nov. 24, 1888, at Keokuk, Illinois, and to this union seven children were born, Mrs. Ethel Aden of Lincoln, Nebr., Mrs. Ada Chambers of Paola, Kans., Lawrence Renshaw of Casper, Wyo., Mrs. Myrtle Cowles of Hamburg, Lee Renshaw of Rock Port, Mo., and Mrs. Oleta Gillete of Gurnee, Ill. She was preceded in death by her husband Charles, and a daughter, Blanche.

Mrs. Renshaw is survived by her six children, 24 grandchildren, 38 great grand children, and one great great grandchild.

Services were held Friday, Jan. 16, at 2 p.m. at the Rash Funeral Home with Rev. Jim Nealeigh officiating. Interment was in the Hamburg Cemetery.

["Blanche" must have been the Mrs. R. E. Scoles listed as a survivor in Charles Renshaw's obituary two years earlier, although it is odd that her last name wasn't included here. -mlf]

Notes for Charles W Renshaw: Orland Dean French recalls: I remember Charlie and Cinny very well--visited them last in the early 50s. They were fairly wealthy for that era. They financed my parents' home in Douglas, NE, in the early 40s. I repaid them in small amounts in the 40s and 50s. They were a fun couple, always jolly and joking, very nice people.

He also wrote: I have discovered more details of my parents' later years in Douglas which includes info as to Aunt Cinny's buying their home in Douglas - paying cash - and with no particular repayment mentioned. That sure bailed my parents out in a time of urgency since that was the only house for sale in Douglas and they were being evicted by the young orphan owner who wanted to live in his house. I knew before that Charlie and Cinny were great people, but that deal was the clincher beyond all doubt (for me at least).

His obituary, The Hamburg Reporter, Feb 14, 1957

Charles W. Renshaw, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Renshaw, was born Sept. 3, 1869, at Keokuk, Ill., and died at the Hamburg Community Hospital Jan. 28, 1957, at the age of 88 years, 4 months, and 27 days.

On Nov. 24, 1889, he was united in marriage to Cinderella McCollum and to this union seven children were born. Mr. and Mrs. Renshaw were married 68 years. He was a retired farmer. Mr. Renshaw was a real estate broker in this community for the past 35 years.

He is survived by his wife, Cinderalla; five daughters, Mrs. R. R. Aden, Lincoln, Nebr., Mrs. Orville Chambers, Paola Kans., Mrs. R. E. Scoles, Waukegan, Ill., Mrs. Archie Gillette, Waukegan, Ill, Mrs. Myrtle Cowles, Hamburg; two sons, Lawrence Renshaw of Casper, Wyo., and Lee Renshaw of Rock Port, Mo.; 24 grandchildren, 37 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.

Services were held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan 31, at the Rash Funeral Home with Rev. Jim Nealeigh officiating. Interment was at the Hamburg cemetery.

Mary Ann Wiley32, born Abt. 1766 in Pennsylvania33; died Abt. 1837 in Washington Co., OH. She was the daughter of 18. Richard Wiley and 19. Rachel Van Meter.

Notes for Peter Dailey II: Peter Dailey served in the Revolutionary War in James Archer's Militia Company of the first Battalion in Washington Co., TN

Some of Peter and Mary's children were born in Washington Co., then Green County, PA. This was not that the family moved, but that the boundaries of the counties were redrawn.

Notes for Mary Ann Wiley: Mary Wiley's ancestry has been traced back to the beginning of the Christian era. This genealogical record was discovered by Kent French, who does not vouch for its authenticity. A file containing this information is available is included in the collection of UFO Books created from this Family Tree Maker file.

Children of Peter Dailey and Mary Wiley are: i. Sarah Sally Dailey, born 12 Sep 1785 in Washington Co., OH34; died 1839 in Muscatine Co., IA34; married Joseph Dickerson 18 Oct 180734.

Notes for Sarah Sally Dailey: Sarah Sally and Joseph Dickerson had 11 children. Their first child, Maria, died in Ohio at age 14. Around 1830 the family moved to Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Joseph died there in 1832. Sally, daughter Nancy and nine sons settled in Bloomington (now Muscatine), Iowa in 1836. My gr grandfather wrote that when they arrived he found but one shack that had been abandoned there. The first white settlers arrived about 1831. Sally died in Muscatine in 1839. Nancy Dickerson Welch wrote in her journals of how she had to care for her nine brothers after Sally died. Nancy married James Welch of Kentucky in Muscatine on 3/12/1840. Her first two children were born in Iowa. The Welches walked the Oregon Trail in 1845 settling in Astoria. They were forced to stay in St. Joseph, Missouri for a year due to Indian uprisings. A third child was born in Missouri. Now picture the scene in 1845. Nancy, age 27, is walking the 2,000 miles to Oregon with two teams of oxen, three children under three, and her 19 year old brother, Luther Dickerson. They survived the trek and Nancy gave birth to her fourth child and first white child born in the Oregon territory Feb 19, 1846.

12. William McCollum36, born 1 Oct 1806 in North Carolina; died Sep 1846 in Randolph Co., NC37. He was the son of 24. John McCollum and 25. Margaret Elliot. He married 13. Sarah Spoon 31 Mar 1827 in Randolph Co., NC37. 13. Sarah Spoon37, born 1 Aug 1810; died Aft. 1860 in North Carolina37. She was the daughter of 26. Christian Spoon and 27. Nancy Chaplin.

Notes for William McCollum: William's two youngest children were living with their maternal grandmother in 1850, and wife Sarah was living in a household with a young man, perhaps a boarder, William having died in 1846.

Notes for Sarah Spoon: The 1850 census shows Sarah (McCellum, obvious misspelling) living in a household with 25- year-old M. Pugh, a laborer who could not read or write. At that time her children Enos and Lovey were in her parents' household. Perhaps Mr. Pugh was just a boarder. At this time the older Susannah was married to Josiah Bray and had 3 children.

The 1860 census shows Sarah living with a young recently married couple, James W. and Laura A. Foster. Since she was not to be found in the 1870 census, she had probably died by then.

Children of William McCollum and Sarah Spoon are: i. Susannah McCollum37, born 4 Aug 1828 in Randolph Co., NC; married Josiah T. Bray 28 Aug 1842 in Randolph Co., NC38. 6 ii. Enos Francis McCollum, born 22 Sep 1834 in Randolph Co., NC; died 16 Aug 1926 in Haddam, Brandford Township, Washington Co., KS; married (1) Anna Vinzant 6 Mar 1859 in Henricks Co., Indiana; married (2) Elizabeth W. Hines Abt. 1881. iii. Lovey Ann McCollum38, born 1839 in Randolph Co., NC39; married (1) Hiram C. York 11 Jan 1857 in Randolph Co., NC39; born Abt. 181140; married (2) James Foster 29 Mar 1860 in Randolph Co., NC41.

Notes for Hiram C. York: A Hiram York in the 1850 census was 39 at the time, married to 25-year-old Mary, with 5 children. If this is the Hiram York who married Lovey in 1857, he would have been 46 and she 17. It is not unlikely that Lovey would have been glad to have some security after being placed in her grandparents' home, which she may have disliked (an illiterate grandmother), by her mother. Or maybe her grandparents just palmed her off on Mr. York, to get rid of the responsibility.

53 14. William Vinzant42, born Sep 1800 in Kentucky; died 3 Oct 1878 in Centerville, Appanoose, IA42. He was the son of 28. James Vinzant and 29. Margaret Unknown. He married 15. Louisa King. 15. Louisa King

Notes for William Vinzant: On April 15, 1832, William and Louisa purchased 16 acres of farm land from the U.S. in Hendricks County, Indiana, SE 1/4 of Section 27, Township 16, Range 1 West. Sold to Thomas H. Bonifielo.

William and Louisa sold the land purchased on June 9, 1832 on Feb. 15, 1834 through his brother, James Jefferson Vinzant, to Thomas Barker for $113.00.

His daughter, Hannah, was born September 9, 1832, in Ohio and he probably moved to Indiana about this time. William's next daughter, Anna, was born in Indiana (ca 1834). Even though he had sold his 16 acres, he was in Middle Township, Hendricks County, Indiana, in 1840 (census).

In 1843, William bought 80 acres of farm land from James and Deborah Vinzant in Jackson Township, Parke County, Indiana. Whether he actually moved to Parke County is not known.

1850 Indiana, Hendricks County, Middle Township census page 2, census taken Sept. 5, 1850 (3 adjacent family homes) (last name error for William, thus an index search for Vinzant does not get him):

Family Number 742 NAME AGE SEX OCC. BIRTHPLACE William Vizant (sic) 51 M Farmer Kentucky Louisa 51 F Virginia Lydia 22 F Ohio James 21 M Ohio Hannah 17 F Ohio Anna 16 F Indiana

Notes for Louisa King: ELIZA, LEWIZA, OR LOUISA?

For William Vinzant and Eliza King's marriage on March 20, 1820 in Highland County, Ohio, the marriage Records of Highland County, Ohio 1805 to 1880 by David McBride give the wife's name as Eliza. In March 27,1832, William and Lewiza Vinzant sold land in Highland County, Ohio. In the 1850 Indiana census, William's wife is listed as Louisa. Her tombstone gives her name as Louisa. It appears probable that this is only one person; that one is either

54 her preferred nick name or middle name; and that different spellings arise because they apparently could not read or write (no known signatures). This is further supported by various census records where the ages for William's wife are consistent (see census information recorded for William). Further, in the 1850 Hendricks County Indiana, census, an older King family is living next door to William. It may be that this is Louisa's (Eliza's) parents who have also moved here from Ohio. Louisa is an oft-repeated name in later generations, is the name given on her tombstone, and therefore is the name of choice. Another point might resolve Lewiza as the pronouncing of Louisa--in the Dawson County Museum in Lexington, Nebraska, in 1995, there was a display for a pioneer family of French-Canadian descent that illustrates pronunciation and spelling of "Louisa" -- it reads in part: "Daniel Freeman and his wife Louisa (pronounced Lew Eye' Za), the first permanent residents of Dawson County...." This museum also has displays that relate to Vinzant families of that area.

Child of William Vinzant and Louisa King is: 7 i. Anna Vinzant, born Abt. 1834 in Indiana; died 23 Nov 1880 in Lineville, Wayne Co., IA; married Enos Francis McCollum 6 Mar 1859 in Henricks Co., Indiana.

24. John McCollum45, born Aft. 1789 in Randolph Co., NC46; died 14 Apr 1868 in Morgan Co., IA. He was the son of 48. Jonathan McCollum and 49. Eleanor York. He married 25. Margaret Elliot Nov 1816 in Randolph Co., NC46. 25. Margaret Elliot, born Abt. 1792 in Morgan Co., IA.

Notes for John McCollum: From Larry Cates, [email protected]:

55 John McCollum (b. c. 1781) moved from Randolph County and died in Morgan Co., IN. I understand that there is a will there for him. I have a copy of it, but can't put my hands on it just now. John died in April of 1868. His son Jonathan went with him to Indiana and he had several additional children who were still rather young in 1850.

Patricia McCrae shows six children of John and Magaret, of which William was the second. She also writes:

John was probably his father's only heir, as by 1813 he was shown on the tax list on his father's land. John gave his sons his Randolph County property through vairous deeds. Jonathan, who later accompanied him to Morgan Co, IN, was given 428 acres on Mt Pleasant Creek, and two slaves: Peggy (21 in1830) and Riley (15). His son William received 273 acres on Mt Pleasant Creek and slaves named Phyllis (39 in 1830) andMilly (13). His grandson Orris recieved a girl named Hala, aged 2. In 1847, he sold his last property in Randolph County in company with his son Jonathan and Jonathan's wife Elizabeth (Staley). John was living in Morgan Co, IN, by that time.

According to the 1850 census, Susannah, Mary and John Jr. would be his children with Polly. Also listed in the census are Margaret, Elizabeth, Wesley and Rachel, all born before he married Polly in 1834. In 1850, John gave his age as 69 and Polly's as 49.

This may be the John McCollum who served in Nixon's NC Militia during the .

Be it known that on the 5th day of November 1868 before me John Hardwick Clerk of the Morgan Common Pleas Court formally came Joseph J. Smith who being duly sworn and examined states that said deceased John McCollum Senr. did in his presence and in the presence of James Dorsett on the 14th day of April 1868 sign, seal, publish and declare the foregoing writing to be his last will and testament. That said James Dorsett an affidavit signed the same as witness in the testators presence and in the presence of each other.

On 1 May 1820, John was shown as a witness to a charge against William Dick, merchant, for retailing liquor without a license.

Child of John McCollum and Margaret Elliot is: 12 i. William McCollum, born 1 Oct 1806 in North Carolina; died Sep 1846 in Randolph Co., NC; married Sarah Spoon 31 Mar 1827 in Randolph Co., NC.

26. Christian Spoon47, born 1788 in North Carolina48; died Nov 1860 in Randolph Co., NC48. He married 27. Nancy Chaplin 9 Jun 1801 in Guilford Co., NC48. 27. Nancy Chaplin49, died 1853 in Henry, IA49.

Notes for Christian Spoon: The 1850 census shows Enos and Lovey McCollum, his grandchildren, in Christian's household. By 1860, when he was 70, Nancy was no longer in his household, but Pertina, age 28 was listed there as a "domestic" (which usually meant wife on these census forms). They evidently had a 1-year-old son, Isaac E.

Later information provided by Kent French is that the IGI shows a marriage for Christian and Peritnea Routh on 20 March 1856. So Christian married a 24 year-old woman at age 68 and produced a child with her three years later. Her name on the 1860 census form was misspelled as Pertina.

Notes for Nancy Chaplin: According to the 1850 census, Nancy (possibly known also as Margaret) could not read or write.

Children of Christian Spoon and Nancy Chaplin are: 13 i. Sarah Spoon, born 1 Aug 1810; died Aft. 1860 in North Carolina; married William

Eleanor York. 49. Eleanor York52, born 10 Apr 1769 in Randolph Co., NC; died 14 Oct 1842 in Mt Pleasant Creek, Guilford Co., NC53. She was the daughter of 98. Thomas York and 99. Elinor Aldridge.

Notes for Jonathan McCollum: From Larry Cates, [email protected]:

Jonathan McCollum, was, of course, the son of Duncan McCollum of Sandy Creek, who died with a will in 1784. His wife at death was named Esther. To my knowledge, no one knows where they came from or who Duncan's parents were, but he was likely a near relation of Levi McCollum (wife Mary) who sold him the property on Sandy Creek in the mid 1770's. (Guilford Co., NC Dbk 1, p. 417.) Levi had purchased it in 1770 from David and Elizabeth Jackson.

There are a number of criminal action cases regarding both Jonathan and Eleanor and matters of assault with neighbors. For a while, they seemed to be really mixing it up with the people around them. It is interesting that Jonathan and Eleanor only seem to have had one child together. At least the 1800 census only shows a single male 10 to 16 in their household. Eleanor MAY be the person buried at McMasters Cemetery near Mt. Pleasant Creek. The stone is made of soapstone and hard to decipher, but the inscription appears thusly, "----n---

58 McCollum, 10 Apr 1769--14 Oct 1842 I wonder if the age of John given in Indiana was accurate. If so, Eleanor is unlikely to be his mother. If his age agreed more with the 1800 census (b. 1784 to 1790), it seems more likely.

[We have made the very tentative assumption that the tombstone was indeed Eleanor's and that their son was born between 1784 and 1790, not in 1781 - MLF]

Shown on the Randolph County, NC, Tax List of 1779 (single man). Listed in the 1785 tax list, the 1799 tax list in Randolph Co, NC. It appears he died before 1813 as he is not on that tax list. No probate records were found for him and all his land passed into the hands of a John McCollum, probably his son.

Jonathan's Revolutionary War Pension was disapproved due to "partisan or tory war not provided for", more than likely because he had only North Carolina service and no Federal service.

69 Genealogy Report - Claude French & Ethel Dailey

Generation No. 1

1. Claude Smith6 French (James Gentry5, John Peter4, William Lewis3, Henry2, Unknown1) was born 3 Aug 1879 in Norborne, MO, and died 21 Dec 1951 in Douglas, NE.

According to his obituary, he was a resident of the Douglas, NE area for 40 years, and was a member of the Christian Church.

More About Claude Smith French: Burial: Rosehill Cemetery, Douglas, NE Cause of Death: Parkinson's Disease Medical Information: Suffered from Parkinson's disease, which began about 1935 as small tremors. Progressed unabated to complete rigidity, as there were no drugs for Parkinson's at the time. Occupation: Farmer

Notes for Mary Ethel Dailey: From Ethel's son Dean:

My memory of meals my mother made is quite dim. I do know that we had home made bacon, sausage, bread, cake, cookies, and croissants Then too we had other pork cuts, and all the cuts of beef which were usually roasted in the oven; barbecue grilling was unknown. Milk came from our cows, butter was churned from the separated cream, flour came from the mill where we took wheat to be milled into flour. At the store, we bought yeast, shortening (like Crisco), sugar, salt, peanut butter in glass jars, flavorings, etc. In short, because of the very considerable talents of my parents, we were very well fed and almost self-sustaining. We also bought rolled oats (oatmeal) in a round cardboard container, cream of wheat in a box, and flour sometimes in 50-pound sacks.

Breakfast was pancakes with sausage or bacon in season, or cream -of -wheat or oatmeal both of which had to be cooked for several minutes. Great home made soda biscuits were often on the table. Lunch and supper was not that varied - heavy on mashed potatoes and gravy. Always we had delicious homemade

70 bread and butter at every meal. Most of the gravy was 'cream,' i.e., made in a large cast iron skillet with a tablespoon of bacon drippings into which a couple tablespoons of flour was stirred and browned, then whole milk was added and cooked and simmered until the desired consistency was reached. Delicious. Potatoes came from the cellar where a year's supply from a large potato patch was stored every early fall. Also, in the cellar we had turnips, carrots, beets, and all kinds of home canned vegetables and meats. For snacks we had peanut butter and home made jelly sandwiches; our school lunches were commonly peanut butter sandwiches, with a couple cookies or a piece of cake, and sometimes an apple, orange, or banana. In sum, our menus were simple and mostly of home made ingredients; there were no pre-packaged or instant anything available. All bakery items were made from scratch - sift the flour, mix in the yeast and shortening, and salt, knead the dough for 10 or 15 minutes, roll the dough out on a board, shape it into loaves or cake or cookie mode, let it 'rise for half hour or so, place it in the appropriate pan, stick it in the oven of the wood-burning kitchen stove and bake it until 'golden' brown. In the summer time, we often had fresh grapes, peaches, plums, apples and pears from the garden as well as watermelon and muskmelon. For special treats, we made homemade ice cream with a hand-cranked freezer (using ice delivered to the kitchen icebox once or twice a week). In winter we often had home grown popcorn after supper as we played some kind of card games. Our entertainment was very basic as there was no TV, and radio was by crystal set (no electricity) which was of poor and intermittent reception. In the 30's, radios powered by lead-acid batteries (like heavy car batteries) were available and provided 2 or 3 hours of better but not good reception of programs of limited cultural content before the batteries were exhausted. Otherwise, our time was spent growing, gathering, and reaping and storing the fundamental necessities; and preparing the foodstuffs for the table.

Prepare the meals by adding a pinch of this, or a spoonful of that, stirring and mixing and cooking or baking by instinct and experience. There were no exotic dishes.

3. Marvin Maxwell7 French (Claude Smith6, James Gentry5, John Peter4, William Lewis3, Henry2, Unknown1) was born 6 Sep 1901 in Douglas, NE, and died 6 Jan 2002 in San Diego Co., CA. He married Marie Jessie St. Andre 11 Aug 1926 in Waukegan, IL, daughter of Augustine St. Andre and Nora Lajoie. She was born 12 Oct 1906 in Ishpeming, MI, and died 9 Sep 1999 in San Diego, CA.

Notes for Marvin Maxwell French: Marvin left Claude's farm in 1919 to join the US Navy on April 21, entering early enough to be officially a veteran of World War I even though it was after hostilities had ended. After 8- 1/2 years in the Navy, rising to Yeoman First Class, he married Jessie and was a civilian until February 3, 1941, before Pearl Harbor but after a National Emergency had been declared earlier by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At that time he reentered the USN as a Chief Yeoman. After serving on a repair ship in the Pacific during World War II, he and Jessie

72 ended up on Guam, where he left the USN on August 27, 1953 and joined Jessie in Civil Service employment, working on Guam for several years before returning to the States.

During his early civilian stint in the 1930s, Marvin walked a postal route in Chicago, delivering mail three times a day and twice on Saturday. All that walking served him in good stead for the rest of his life, and at age 99 he was climbing to the top of a six-story building during his regular morning walk.

After living in numerous places in and around Chicago, they rented a house at 1708 Arthur Avenue, on Chicago's north side, from 1935 to 1941. Marvin then moved the family to the Great Lakes (IL) Naval Training Station, where he was stationed and Jessie was employed in Civil Service. After the war the family moved to San Diego, CA, buying a house at 4412 Del Monte in 1947, where Marvin and Jessie lived until age forced them to sell the house in 1996 and move into the Wesley Palms retirement community. They were well cared-for there in the Assisted Living area ("The Courtyard"). Jessie's Parkinson's disease finally required her to enter a nursing home, where she died in 1999. Marvin pushed on alone, resisting the demands of age to the fullest until finally his body gave up. While he had a pacemaker installed many years earlier to maintain a proper pulse rate, and before that had a pulmonary embolism, his cardiovascular system was strong to the end. Macular degeneration had robbed him of 95% of his eyesight for the last 20 years of his life, which he coped with magnificently.

For over 30 years of their retirement, Marvin and Jessie traveled the world, enjoying their retired life to the fullest. A number of times they bought a car or van in Germany, then traveled around Europe, staying in campgrounds. They spent one winter in Spain, living in an apartment overlooking the Mediterranean. At the end of this period Jessie was bewailing the fact that they had no place new to go, as they had been to every country they had any interest in seeing.

Marvin celebrated his 100th birthday on September 6, 2001, with a family party at Wesley Palms retirement center, 2404 Loring St, in Pacific Beach. Attending were all of his four children, eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and his two surviving brothers.

Here is information he gave about himself in an interview at age 100:

He was born a farmer's son in rural Nebraska, the oldest of nine children. His many chores on the farm included milking cows and caring for pigs, horses, and chickens, besides helping in the fields.

At age six he started school and very early on became fascinated with geography. He still clearly recalls a U.S. map showing Oklahoma as an Indian Nation and southwest Africa covered with just one word "Unexplored." "French," as he is known, walked three and a half miles each way to school, in wintertime through snow. By 8th grade he was head of the class: he was also the only one in the 8th level of his one-room school! He was in love with the teacher, who had been an eighth grader when he first started school.

By the time French had been in high school a few years he knew that farming was not for him. "Watching mules' asses from the seat of a corn separator" was not his life goal, he says. So off he went to the alfalfa mill in town, where he lifted 100 lb sacks over to a man who then stitched them.

73 He learned to drive before his dad did. He paid 25 cents to get a license---no test needed. He practiced with a friend's car. He recalls betting a young farmer he could go 40 miles per hour. The farmer happily accepted the wager, feeling that it was a sure thing. Well, French won by setting the "race course" DOWNHILL.

1918 came along with the opportunity to join the Navy. He was on a west coast cruise when he first saw San Diego. He loved it! But soon thereafter he was transferred to Long Beach. He was sent there by plane, a two-seater with open cockpits. French sat on the lap of a co- passenger, wearing no headgear! After tours of sea duty that included the Panama Canal, he was assigned to the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Illinois, where he met a young secretary, Jessie St. Andre, whom he married in 1926.

French then left the Navy to raise a family of four children in Chicago, where he worked for the Post Office Department. In 1939 President Roosevelt declared a national emergency because of the war in Europe, and French returned to the Navy with the rate of Chief Yeoman. He moved the family to Great Lakes, where he was stationed. After Pearl Harbor French served on a submarine tender in the South Pacific during much of the war, and was able to visit bombed-out Tokyo after the war ended.

After retiring from the Navy, French worked with his wife Jessie in the Civil Service, spending several years on Guam. That gave them the chance to tour the entire Orient during vacations, and started their long love affair with foreign travel. They had bought a home on Del Monte St in San Diego in 1947, living in it for almost 50 years before advancing age prompted them to move into the Wesley Palms retirement community.

French and Jessie, loving to travel, frequently left on long trips. One year it was a circumnavigation cruise of South America. They bought a trailer, and later a motor home, with which they toured the entire United States and Canada. Going to Europe many times, they would buy a car or camper van in Germany, drive it all over Europe, and take it home afterwards. French drove his 1968 Mercedes Benz, for which he paid the huge sum of $6000, for many years, selling it only when his failing eyesight prevented him from driving it anymore.

Notes for Marie Jessie St. Andre:

74 Jessie's given name was actually Marie Jessie, but she was always called Jessie and used that name exclusively, except that her grandchildren called her Nana.

Obiturary, San Diego Union-Tribune, 11 September 1999:

Jessie Marie French, 92, of Pacific Beach died Thursday. She was born in Ishpeming, Michigan. Mrs French was retired after working as a legal secretary. Survivors include her husband, Marvin M. French; daughters, Joan P. Wilcox of Bay Park, Jeanne M. Flynn of Point Loma and Patt French of Riverside; son, Marvin L. French of Serra Mesa; eight grandchildren; and three great-grand children.

This was a slight error, as there were four great-grand children at the time of her death.

Jessie was a secretary during her working career, mostly for US Civil Service as a legal secretary in US Navy legal offices. Retiring from Civil Service, she was employed as a part- time secretary with "Kelly Girls," becoming eligible for social security.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY - Orland Dean French

My birth on September 24, 1921, was attended by Dr. Allen Hostetter, an 1886 graduate of what is now the U. of Chicago Medical School. He came to our farm home 3¼ miles from the village of Douglas, Otoe County, Nebraska, either via horse & buggy or Model T Ford, depending on the muddiness of the dirt roads.

Childhood on the farm included 160 acres, horses, mules, cows & calves, sows, boars & pigs, hens, chicks, roosters, ducks, ponies, corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa, clover, hay, straw, steam engines & threshers, one of the first John Deere tractors (Waterloo Boy), and dozens of horse- drawn farm implements. Always, there was a large vegetable garden, fruit trees, grape vines, flowers, and the ability to can vegetables & meats, and to store onions, beets, potatoes, carrots, tumtps,pumpkins and squash. We were all but self -sufficient in the food department thanks to the hard work and considerable talents of my parents.

Ok - here it comes:

LEARNING IN THE HORSE & BUGGY DAYS

My home town is Douglas, Otoe County, Nebraska. My home was on a farm one mile south and 2.25 miles west of Douglas. The County is fronted on the east along about 25 miles of the Missouri River where Nebraska City, the County seat

78 is located. It's rectangular shape then extends westward about 40 miles. Douglas is about 5 miles from the western end of the county and in the 1930's had a population of about 300. That area of Nebraska was settled in the latter years of the 19th century, property lines and roads were surveyed and established. The terrain is mostly gentle rolling hills with gulleys and creeks providing drainage to the Missouri River watershed. It is an agricultural area and the land is platted in mile square sections with a road on all four sides. Each section contains 640 acres and most of those sections are further divided into four parts which make quarter-section farms of 160 acres. In most cases, each farm had one family home and typical farm out buildings.

With the population thus sparsely scattered, one room county schools were established strategically to accommodate the children of 15 to 20 farm families. Such schools offered grades one through 8 and were located four to six miles apart so that pupils mostly were within 3 miles of a school. The school buildings were in general of a standard design located on about 1 acre of land, with one classroom about 30 x 25 feet, plus aan enclosed leanto porch at the entrance end. The porch was used to hang heavy winter coats and to stow overshoes, and to store other items such as the two softballs and two bats. In my case, in the 8th grade, on the way to school in the winter time, I checked my traps along the way to see if an opossum, mink, skunk or civet cat had been caught overnight which I would shoot and I was required to stow my unloaded .22 caliber rifle on the porch and not to touch it until after school. Just inside at the rear of the classroom a potbellied stove was the source of heat. The far end of the room was equipped with two blackboards along the rear wall, a large wind-up tick-tock clock, and the teachers desk facing the entrance. We were provided arithmetic, reader, geography and history texts pertinent to our grade levels. Two small bookcases were located along one of the side walls with a dozen or so books one could read. Desks for 15 or 20 pupils occupied the middle of the room. Large windows along the side walls provided illumination for the room.

Amenities and conveniences were scarce. There was no electricity. Water came from a well near the entrance. Toilet facilities consisted of two outhouses, one for girls in one corner of the campus and one for boys in another corner. Older pupils were assigned to arrive early in the cold seasons to clean the ashes from the stove and to get the fire burning in the stove so there would be some heat before classes began at 8 a.m. A water bucket was located on a small stand in the rear and older boys were tasked to fill it from the well pump. A long-handled dipper was provided in the bucket so that all could help themselves to a drink from that community dipper. Also, there was a small wash basin one could wash his/her hands in cold water dipped from the bucket. Towels were not provided.

The curricula was mainly reading, writine and arithmetic with some geography and history lessons. Pupils (we weren't students until we went to high school) were gathered into four general groups selected by age and grade level. Thus, the 1st and 2nd graders had the same lessons; likewise the 3rd and 4th, the 5th & 6th and lastly the 7th & 8th. All pupils could overhear the lessons

79 being conducted by the teacher, and recitations by the pupils, which allowed pupils to monitor subjects of their own interest and to soak up the knowledge regardless of the groupings.

In August, 1926, a month shy of being 5 years old, I was enrolled in the 1st grade at the one room Solon School located 4 miles west of Douglas. There were about a dozen pupils and the usual one teacher. The teacher was required to have enough ability to play the piano so that we could sing along such simple tunes as row, row your boat and similar ditties. That was our musical lessons. We also could recite the pledge of allegiance. We memorized the multiplications to 12, and to 14 for extra credit. We learned to read. We did our numbers. We wrote sentences and parsed some, learned some punctuation rules. And so it went pretty much like that until I finished the 8th grade in May, 1934.

The High School class of 1938 comprised 6 boys and 3 glrls. I graduated 3rd in class and earned letters in basketball, our only intramural sport. Summers during high school found me doing farm work at home or hired out to neighbors. After high school, I had a number or odd jobs - blacksmith’s helper, corn shucker, tractor operator, plumber’s & well-driller’s helper, combine operator, etc. At the end of summer 1939, I joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and was stationed at Weeping Water, NE until I enlisted in the U. S. Coast Guard on August 10, 1940.

Military orders took me to Port Townsend, WA for recruit training, and to Southern California for duty in the US CGC AURORA, Pt. Arguello Lifeboat Sta., Arlight, CA, the US CGC PERSEUS and the USCG Air Station, San Diego. Next, via troop train to Baltimore, MD, for assignment to the new USS LST-21. Then, having been advanced from E-1 to E-7 in the record time of 2 years, 9 months and 6 days, I was off to Officer Candidate School at the US Coast Guard Academy, New London,CT, where I was commissioned Ensign, USCG. Next was the new USS BROWNSViLLE (PF-10) commissioned at Alameda. CA, on May 6, 1944.

A young lass named Vivian caused me to jump overboard and she led me to the altar on 31 December, 1944. Then, with VJ day done, I resigned on January 10, 1946, and was discharged into Reserve Status. Recalled in 1950, I completed the U. S. Army Military Police School at Camp Gordon, GA, and was transferred to Honolulu, T.H., to the USCG Captain of the Port. Three years later we moved to the USCG District HQ at Seattle, WA, for a 4-year tour - then to the icebreaker NORTHWIND for 2 years deployment in boths south and north polar regions. While in Antarctica on March 17,1959, Vivian produced our 2 heirs - identical twins Denise & Deborah.

[That is, while Dean was in Antarctica; Vivian stayed home - mlf]

January 1960 found us at the USCG Training Center, Yorktown, VA, for a 3-year tour followed by another 3-year tour at USCG HQ, Washington, D.C., where I retired with the rank of Commander on August 1,1966. Next came employment in U. S. Civil Service at the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington DC., from which I retired again on 30 September, 1983. After 43 years of U. S. Gov’t affiliation I have been resting up at Potomac, MD, while seeking a site to sit rocking for our old age.

14. Marvin Louis8 French (Marvin Maxwell7, Claude Smith6, James Gentry5, John Peter4, William Lewis3, Henry2, Unknown1) was born 13 Apr 1927 in Waukegan, IL. He married (1) Mary Ann Lohnes 18 Feb 1960 in Ensenada, Mexico, daughter of James Lohnes and Ruby Jamison. She was born 1932. He married (2) Alice Christine Leicht 16 Aug 1990 in Rabac, Croatia (Istrian Peninsula). She was born 26 Jul 1932 in Buffalo, NY.

Notes for Marvin Louis French: Marvin worked in many odd jobs after leaving the US Navy and attending some college, finally settling down in (1957) as an aerospace engineer with the Convair Division of General Dynamics, in San Diego, CA. While there he rose from lowly Engineering Aide, an hourly wage position, to Senior Engineer, despite never having taken an engineering course. After 27 years with GD, he took early retirement and obtained a position with Cubic Corporation as a Senior Software Specialist, retiring for good after 8 years there.

Marvin is (or maybe was, when this is read) a Life Master in the American Contract Bridge League, a rank he achieved in 1956. During the 80s he spent 10 years away from bridge, playing blackjack professionally in Reno and Las Vegas. He authored many articles on both card games, in which he became an authority of sorts.

He also wrote many articles for Telicom, the publication of the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE), which he joined in the 1970s. The requirement for membership in ISPE is an IQ falling within the top 1/10 of one percent of the population, which he met easily with his Navy- measured IQ of 181.

82 He has done much work for the United French Organization, descendants of James GENTRY French. For more, see Marvin's web site www.marvinfrench.com

Notes for Alice Christine Leicht: Toward the latter part of her teaching career, Alice specialized in teaching "English as a Second Language" to foreign-born adults wanting to improve their knowledge of English. It is doubtful that anyone has ever done it better. Alice rose to the rank of Life Master in the American Contract Bridge League during the 1990s, sharing a passion for the game of bridge with husband Marvin.
