July 17, 1936 LOUIS DYER Louis Ellsworth Dyer, 59, of 38 Chapman street died of heart trouble last night at the Franklin County hospital [Greenfield]. He had worked as usual at the Millers Falls company the day before yesterday. Born in Wendell, he was the son of Peter and Hannah (Taylor) Dyer.

RICHARD JOHN PAYA, Husband of Elizabeth Kay Fredette, Michael Ariail Family Line. Richard J. Paya Sr., 68, of McMullen Road died at home surrounded by his loving family Friday afternoon, Dec. 15, 2009. Rick was born Sept. 9, 1941 in Williston, the son of the late Edward A. and Elizabeth Dorr Paya. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps then went to work for IBM employed as a facilities coordinator for many years until retiring in the mid-nineties. Rick and his father in law built his house on McMullen Road where he and his wife Elizabeth "Betsy" raised their two sons, Richard Jr. and David. The door to this house was always open to nieces and nephews who would visit in the summer or to other relatives who would come to visit. Rick was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was so proud of his two sons and watching them grow into young men. If you were to listen to him speak of his sons, it was very obvious they had their father's blessings in the success and achievements in their business and personal lives. A member of the American Legion, Post 57 in Milton for over 30 years, he also served as a crew chief with the Milton Rescue Squad for many years. Rick loved the outdoors, hunting for that Buck and fishing for Walleyes or Lake Trout in the winter. He looked forward to his annual trips to Lake Ontario. He would bring back his ice chest full of King Salmon and stories of the ones that got away. As ill as he was and still determined to go, family members made this trip possible this past summer. He got to fish one more time in his boat, "Lucky Pappy,"and say goodbye to the many camping friends he made thru the years fishing in Lake Ontario. His love for racing started at Catamount Stadium where he started as a voluntary EMT with the condition his two young boys would get in to watch the races. In later years, his boys became involved in motocross and local stockcar racing up to the present ACT tour. The decline in his health kept him from attending most races but he was always eager to hear of their results. Being a grandfather was like having a family all over again. He cherished and loved his grandchildren and was always there to listen to them and give his advice and financial assistance. Rick is survived by his loving wife, Betsy, of Milton and their sons; Rick and Michelle Paya and their two sons, Cory and Tyler of Georgia, and David and Penny Paya and their two daughters, Stephanie and Mikayla of Milton; his brother, James and Sandra Paya of Jericho; his two sisters, Sandra and RichardAngolano of Essex and Penny and Mark Russell of Williston, as well as several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Susan Paya and three brothers; Donald, Reginald and Edward.

GEORGE WALDEMAR LINCK, Husband of Jane Elodie Dunham, Lucy Ariail Family Line. George Waldemar Linck, 95, passed away May 5, 2014. Born in the "Finntown" community of Brooklyn, N.Y., on Jan. 17, 1919, he was the only child of immigrants Hanna Ware (Vare) and Walter Wayne (Waldemar Vaino) Linck of Finland and Estonia. In 1924, after moving for a time to a farm in Middle Grove, N.Y., his family resettled along the Mohawk River in Scotia. Despite the Depression and the death of his father from a brain tumor, he and his mother maintained determined, hopeful attitudes through that difficult time. George thrived in the informal athletic club of young Finns, Scandinavians and Germans. He loved to take off with friends to hunt, fish and backcountry ski in the Adirondacks. Smitten by Jane Dunham at Scotia High School, they began dating before George headed to Springfield College in 1938. Known on campus as "the Mad Finn," he became an outstanding javelin thrower, gymnast and football player, and president of the Biology Club. Upon finishing a war shortened senior year with a degree in physical education, George enlisted in the US Navy, and began W.W.II duty as a Chief Petty Officer, teaching briefly in the (Gene) "Tunney-Fish" fitness program. He and Jane were married on Sept. 28, 1943, during this stint in Morehead, Ky. They moved to Newport, R.I., where he was commissioned to fight aboard a PT boat in the South Pacific. As executive officer, then skipper in command of PT 525 in squadron 36, he saw action from New Guinea through the Philippines. His boat was among those to first encounter the Japanese fleet in the battle of Leyte Gulf. In the aftermath of that major US victory, his crew was chosen to transport General Douglas McArthur to the beach at Leyte to fulfill McArthur's famous promise, "I shall return." When W.W.II ended, George returned to Jane and their first son, born during his absence. He earned a Master's Degree in Health Education from Columbia Teachers College, after which he accepted a coaching and teaching position at SUNY College at Cortland, where son number two was born. In late 1947, however, the United States Military Academy lured him to West Point, where he served as a civilian Associate Professor of Physical Education for the Army cadets for the next 33 years. At that beautiful Post on the Hudson River, he and Jane had four more sons, all of whom enjoyed hunting, fishing and other adventures across the Hudson and among the forested hills and ponds of the military reservation. After an Army colonel convinced George in 1955 to take his son on a 600-mile, Albany River canoe trip to Hudson's Bay, George established a camp for boys (and later, girls) in the Adirondacks. For 23 summers, Lynx Camp offered wilderness canoe trips in the Adirondacks and Canada. Once the youngest two Lincks were old enough to be campers, Jane helped run the camp on Big Island, Raquette Lake. "The man with the canoe on his car" (as he was known at West Point) had a lifelong, guiding philosophy: any thorough education of young people should include rugged outdoor adventures. At the Academy, George became the first director of the West Point Ski Slope, and over the years instructed cadets in over 20 athletic activities, from gymnastics, rowing and downhill skiing to boxing and unarmed combat. He established the X-C ski program, and headed both the cadet posture program and West Point's training and reconditioning room, which treated injured officers and cadets. Many came to know George through hunting and fishing outings with the Rod and Gun Club and Archery Club. "G.W." stories became central to his legacy at the Academy and among family and friends. Upon retirement in 1980, he and Jane moved to Lake Pleasant in the Adirondacks, where they lived contentedly for 30 years. George's deer hunting successes continued to age 89, when he dragged his last buck out of the woods and set his "Finn-Light" rifle down for good. George was predeceased by his grandson, Nathan, in 2009; and by Jane, in 2011, causing grief greater than what could be borne for very long. As is said of old PT Boaters, his "last patrol" was clearly at hand, although he probably disregarded protocol and accomplished the trip by canoe. He leaves behind his sons and daughters-in-law, Dave and Jane of Craftsbury, Vt., Jon and Sue of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Alan and Penny of Queensbury, N.Y., Dana and Jenny of Olney, Md., Walter and Vannesa of Saranac Lake, N.Y., and Robert and Leanne of Hinesburg, Vt.; along with his 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. A memorial gathering for both George and Jane will be held Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014, in the Glens Falls area, location and other details to be announced. Those interested in being notified may contact Alan Linck, 16 Forest Lane, Queensbury, NY 12804. In lieu of flowers, donations to Camp DREAM would be appreciated: checks to "The DREAM Program," PO Box 361, Winooski, VT 05404.

Urband “was the lord of my music world,” said the four-time Oscar-nominated Desplat in a statement from London, where he is working on the latest “Harry Potter” score. “Without his bright expertise, his sense of humor, his kindness and his generosity, I would never have become a Hollywood composer.” Urband co-lfounded the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation along with Kamen and served as treasurer for the board of directors. He is survived by his wife, Lynn Ariail Urband; a daughter and twin sons;, and three grandchildren. Donations may be made to the Mr. Hollands Opus Foundation.
04/25/2013 Two Years Later... Today is the second anniversary of my dad's death. I am thinking a lot about him, as I always do. My grief, while still palpable and thick, is different now. I smile and laugh often when I think about him and cry far less frequently. In a moment of quiet contemplation a few weeks ago, I asked myself what I miss most about my daddy. I first answered— his advice (he was such a great advice giver and I still rely on his words of wisdom) and his "I love you's" which were unique and sincere and full of genuine intonation (and it was the very last thing he ever said to me, which I treasure beyond measure). But when I am truly honest with myself, my answer is much more selfish. I miss who I was when I was with him. He made me a better person and I always liked who I was, in his presence, not only through his (bias) eyes, but through my own. I was always at my best with him — he made me (and so many others) feel happy, special, and important. Right after he died, I totally understood one of my favorite author Anne Lamott's words of wisdom about her own dad's death. She wrote, "Sometimes when I've done something fabulous, I feel like a gymnast who has performed a flawless routine in an empty auditorium." Truly, it was my dad I always aimed to please and impress. Two years later and that empty auditorium feeling remains— I still long for him to cheer me on through life, encourage my brothers, and watch my children grow up. But I am also finding some peace with the emptiness, a reframing of grief as a measure of tremendous love. On this second anniversary— I miss him. This I am sure will never change. But I am grateful, so very grateful for him. And this I know will never change either!

Judge John Asbury Frazier Jr., age 85, of 3 North Pointe Drive, Rome, died Sunday Nov. 21, at his son's residence in Savannah from congestive heart failure. A native of Floyd County, he was born Nov. 29, 1918, a son of the late Lennie Callaway Frazier and John Asbury Frazier Sr. A graduate of the Cave Spring High School, Judge Frazier was employed for a time at the Pepperell Manufacturing Company before joining the Cedartown office of the Central of Georgia Railroad in 1937. He was transferred to the Superintendent's Office in Savannah where he was ultimately promoted to the position of Special Agent and became a member and officer of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks. A veteran of World War II, Judge Frazier was a corporal in the U.S. Army Air Corps, serving as secretary of an Army Court Martial Board. Because of this service, he was motivated to study law, in part, because he was angered when he saw enlisted men punished more harshly for relatively minor disciplinary infractions while officers were often treated more leniently after committing more serious offenses. After his discharge from the armed forces, Judge Frazier returned to the Central of Georgia Railroad in Savannah in 1946, and was awarded the Bachelor of Law Degree from LaSalle Extension University in 1950. Judge Frazier passed the Georgia Bar Examination and was admitted to the practice of law in Savannah in 1950, and practiced there until 1952, as well as having taught business law at Savannah Vocational School. Moving to Rome in 1952, Judge Frazier engaged in the general practice of law in Rome from 1952 until 1974, and taught several subjects at the former Carrol Lynn Business School in Rome. He was also admitted to practice before the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, and the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Judge Frazier was appointed as judge of the Floyd Juvenile Court in 1964, and served two terms until 1974. During his tenure as juvenile court judge, he served on the State Advisory Committee of Juvenile Court Judges, the first Georgia Juvenile Law Study Commission, and was a member of the Georgia and National Councils of Juvenile Court Judges. Judge Frazier was elected to his first term as judge of Floyd Superior Court in 1975, and served as a judge there until his retirement in 1988. At the time of his death, Judge Frazier was a communicant of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where he had served as a member of the Vestry. He was a member of the Georgia State Bar, the Sons of the American Revolution, the Shanklin-Attaway Post 5 of the American Legion, the Cherokee Masonic Lodge No. 66 F&AM, the Low Twelve Club and was a charter member of the Rome History Museum. Judge Frazier was a former member of First Baptist Church of Rome, where he taught Sunday school in the Primary Department for 14 years. He was a former member of the Board of Directors of the Rome Boy's Club, the Friends of the Library Association, former member and past president of the Rome Bar Association, was a former president of the Fourth Ward PTA, past president of Post H of the Traveler's Protective Association, past president of the Kiwanis Club of Metro Rome, and was a former volunteer scout worker. Judge Frazier authored two books, "From the Outhouse to the Courthouse," a brief and humorous autobiography that chronicled his life from birth in a family that had no indoor plumbing, to his election later in life to the position of judge of the Floyd Superior Court, published in 1996, and "A History of the Rome Bar Association" published in 1999. Judge Frazier was married to the former Corrie Lurleen Cureton of Cedartown and was preceded in death by her in 1978. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his only sister, Mary Smith in December of 2003. Judge Frazier is survived by his wife, Jane Dulin Pruitt, to whom he was married in August of 1979, three sons, Christopher A. Frazier and his wife, Monique, of Savannah, Gregory Craig Frazier and his wife, Lori, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Jeffrey Walker Frazier, of Roswell, one daughter, Janet Lurleen Frazier, of Breman, one stepson, Fred H. Pruitt Jr., and his wife Janis, of Louisville, Ky., one step-daughter, Mary Catherine Hackney and her husband, Wayne, of Franklin, Tenn.; his only brother, Cary L. Frazier, of Rome. Thirteen grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews also survive. Memorial services for Judge John A. Frazier will be held Monday, Nov. 29, at St. Peter's Episcopal Church at 12:30 p.m. with the Rev. Janice Bracken Wright officiating.

Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Gillette Memorial Chapel. Betty Lou Camblin Woods, 87, passed away November 9, 2013 at the Pioneer Manor in Gillette, WY. She was born August 20, 1926 in Gillette, one of eight children to Christina (Zigler) & Edwin Earl Camblin. She was raised at the Pumpkin Butte Ranch against the backdrop of the Great Depression, which meant raising livestock, growing food, and chores that put food on the table. She attended a one-room school by riding horseback in all types of weather. Betty experienced frost-bit toes on one or more occasions. Attending high school in Gillette meant paying room and board to stay with families in town. She graduated from high school in 1945. Then she entered the Nursing Cadet Corps to train as a nurse in Billings, MT. She became an RN in 1948, and returned to the ranch to help her parents. Her employment as a nurse began at Natrona County Hospital in 1949. Betty married Thomas Edison Woods on Dec. 31, 1951 in Gillette, WY. Tommy was serving in the U.S. Army in Korea when Gary Thomas Woods was born. Tommy returned home in 1954 and the Woods' made their home in Upton, and in quick succession three more children followed: Sheri Lue , Roxanne, and Dennis Lee. The Woods' home at the corner of Pine and Division served as the family home for the next 48 years. Betty resumed employment as a nurse for the Upton Public Schools. Betty also helped start the Upton Clinic with Dr. Hudson. After the clinic closed, Betty nursed peopled in her own home or made visits to their homes. For such service, she was formally recognized by the City of Upton. In 1970 Betty returned to nursing at the Crook County Hospital in Sundance, WY and worked there until a car accident in November 1971. After her recovery her life interests changed. She delved into photography and local history. In the late 1980's she completed two genealogical works: stories of the Camblin and Woods families. She also wrote articles for the centennial celebration books in honor of the pioneers who settled Campbell and Weston counties. Betty continued to live in Upton after Tommy died in 1996. What began as forgetfulness developed into dementia. During this time we owe many thanks to the kind people of Upton. Under their watchful eye, she was able to stay in her home until 2005, when she entered Pioneer Manor. We are grateful to the care she received while at the Manor. Betty was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her two brothers (Earl and William Camblin) and four sisters (Rosalee Johnston, Estelene Williams. Josephine Fortin, and DeLaine Wagner). She is survived by her sister, Alberta Cox, of Moorcroft, WY, her four children Gary (Colleen) Woods of Gillette, WY; Sheri Woods (David Froman) of Corvallis, OR; Roxanne (Mark) Clark of Salida, CO; Dennis (Wendy) Woods of Apple Valley, MN; 6 grandchildren, Zachary & Emily Haas (Oregon); Michael & Trevor Woods (Wyoming) Kyle and Corey Woods (Minnesota); 2 step-grandchildren: Keith (Becca) Clark (Pueblo, CO); and Jaime Clark (Highlands Ranch, CO).

FLORA ELLEN MCCARTHY BRANTLEY, Luke Ariail Family Line – Connecticut Line. Flora Ellen McCarthy Brantley, 76, passed away peacefully at Rex Healthcare on May 14, 2012 with her husband and three children by her side. Flo, as she was called, was born on October 9, 1935 in South Lee, Berkshire, Massachusetts to the late Robert Francis McCarthy and Vera Louise Forrest McCarthy Beckley. She grew up in the beautiful Berkshires and graduated from Searles High School in Great Barrington, MA in 1953. Flo joined the United States Air Force in 1954 and became secretary to the base chaplain at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. While there, she met and married on December 28, 1956, Archie Nelson Brantley of Middlesex, NC, who survives her. Archie served for 20 years in the Air Force, and together they enjoyed traveling the world in their assignments, living in Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Turkey, Washington DC, Hawaii, back to Florida again and then retiring from the Air Force as a Master Sergeant to live in Raleigh, NC in 1974. They moved to Knightdale in 1997. While on military assignment in Izmir Turkey in 1965, Flo and Archie became members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, being baptized in the Agean Sea. Since that time, they have remained very active in their church. Flo and Archie experienced great joy together over the years, serving the Lord in various church assignments, culminating in 2001 and 2002 when they served a full-time mission together in lovely Columbia, TN. At the end of their mission, the mayor of the Columbia presented them with the "Key to the City" due to their faithful and voluntary service. Upon retiring from the Air Force, Flo and Archie found that they missed traveling, but as their three children grew and scattered, they enjoyed traveling again, visiting and spending time with their children and grandchildren in various places around the country and around the world. All three of their children graduated from Brigham Young University, but her basketball loyalty was to the UNC Tar Heels! Carolina basketball season was the most exciting time of every year at the Brantley household. Flo worked for over 16 years as a bookkeeper for the NC Egg Association. She was also a professional genealogist and helped many people find their ancestors. She accumulated a very large data base which included the names and information for over 121,000 of their ancestors. Although she received a commission for her genealogy work, she never charged anyone if they were a relative, and in so doing became very knowledgeable about all of the local Brantleys and the history of our surrounding counties. There is no question that Flo's greatest joy in life came from her family. She is survived by her husband Archie, daughter Debra Darlene Brantley Carter(of Liberty, NC), daughter Tamara Jeanne Brantley Yatteau (of Maple Valley, WA), son Robert Nelson Brantley (of Maui, HI), brother Robert McCarthy (of Phoenix, AZ), and sister Patricia Hinkley (of Wendell, NC).

Marie was born in Shakopee on August 30, 1920, to William and Adah (Dunham) Schmagel. The older of two children, Marie grew up across from the train depot in downtown Shakopee.

Toots attended Shakopee public schools and graduated from Shakopee High School in 1938. She was working in an office in town when she met her future husband Walter “Walt” Brueshoff, who had started a job at the Shakopee Ford Garage.

During the 1960’s, she and Walt owned and operated Riverside Repair, located next to the old river bridge in downtown Shakopee. Toots was engaged in the lives of her five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A service oriented woman, she truly loved people and relished helping them when in need. Toots also loved spending time at the lake cabin in northern Minnesota and delighted in leisurely visits from family and friends. She especially looked forward to those weekly Friday trips to Perkins with her son, after going grocery shopping. And, as everyone who knew her was aware, Toots loved the color red. A life-long dedicated member of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Toots was Baptized, Confirmed, was married and raised her family there.

WILLIAM WAYNE WHEELER, John Franklin Ariail family line. William Wayne Wheeler Listened To Children A memorial service for William Wayne “Bill” Wheeler will take place Saturday, September 29, at 11 am, at the Newtown Congregational Church, 14 West Street. Mr. Wheeler, 53, died April 22 in Key West, Fla., after a long battle with cancer. He was the son of George William Wheeler and the late Mary Louise Wheeler of Newtown. He is survived by his father; three sisters, Darleen Pane of Apopka, Fla., Linda Wheeler of Brookfield, and Jacqueline Wheeler of Watertown, Mass.; one brother, Bryant Wheeler of Charles City, Va.; and several nieces and nephews. Mr. Wheeler was born in Danbury, spending his early childhood in Brookfield. After his family relocated to Newtown, Mr. Wheeler entered Newtown High School, graduating in 1972. He had high hopes of becoming an archaeologist until he met Mary Lucy, the drama teacher at Newtown High School. Mrs. Lucy cast him in Charlie’s Aunt and Bill was then bitten by the acting bug. He attended WestConn, majoring in drama. Mr. Wheeler wrote, produced, directed, and acted in Connecticut, New York State, and New York City. Because of his illness, he moved to Key West for a warmer climate. In Key West, as well as in the Northeast, Mr. Wheeler started many children’s theatrical programs. He and his collaborator of more than 25 years, Jan Callner, wrote musicals for children that were produced in theaters up and down the Eastern Seaboard. They also produced recordings with Broadway actors and received acclaim in publications such as Sesame Street, Parents Magazine, The School Library’s Journal, and Family Fun Magazine. They also received the Early Childhood News Director’s Choice Award in 2000. In a Key West newspaper interview Mr. Wheeler was quoted, “We don’t baby-fy children or let them think they can slide by because they are kids.” In the casting of The Wizard of Oz, Bill cast the Munchkins with children, most of them with autism and Down Syndrome. His favorite line was “Adults never listen to children.” He and Ms. Callner did, and perhaps that was the secret to their success. The Newtown Bee September 21, 2007

ISAAC RANDOLPH FLINT, Husband of Marion Faye Harmon, Luke Ives Ariail Family Line. Isaac Rudolph (Rudy) Flint, 78, of Gastonia, NC, entered the church triumphant on Sunday, June 2, 2013 at Westminster Health and Rehabilitation Center in Rock Hill, SC. He crossed the thin veil that separates this life from the next, surrounded by the love and release of his family and friends. A member of Myers Memorial United Methodist Church, 'Big Rudy' will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He was born in Clover, SC on November 6, 1934, the fourth child of six, to Carrie Rebekah Johnson Flint and Harry Fischer Flint. He finished Clover High School and entered the working world immediately thereafter. A natural and gifted entrepreneur, he lived his life as an accomplished businessman who truly never met a stranger. The proverbial and iconic 'Silver Tongue,' he had an extraordinary ability with words and charm that allowed him to move with ease and poise among many diverse groups over his distinguished life and career. Among his many accomplishments, he was honored with the 1965 Distinguished Salesman Award presented by the Sales and Marketing Executives International, served as President of the Gaston County Homebuilders Association. He was a 32nd degree Master Mason and a member of Oasis Temple Shrine. He loved music in a wide range of genres, from Tom T. Hall's 'I Love Little Rubber Ducks,' (which he sang with gusto to his grandchildren so often it became his theme song,) to smooth jazz, rock, and beach music. His many friends at Westminster will miss his Louie Armstrong impersonations, and his singing old gospel hymns in a compelling voice. 'How Great Thou Art' was his favorite hymn. He leaves many waiting to be reunited with him in the grace of our Christian commitment: The absolute love of his life – his devoted wife of 60 years this August, Marion Harmon Flint. They met on a double date – each with the other person, during which she decided his manners far exceeded those of her date. They became a couple soon after that and soon eloped to Chester, S.C. on August 22, 1953 after graduation from Clover High School. Marion remembers that they had $35 between them for their honeymoon in Bryson City and found a motor court room for the night (after turning in at a Grade A sign that Marion thought was an indicator of quality – they found themselves at a dairy goat farm! They traveled on that night toward their destination and found a small motor court to stay in for the night. Good fortune shined upon them early, when the next day, they were chosen from those staying at the Motor Court for a week- long all expenses paid honeymoon at Fontana Lake resort. Marion has been a devoted wife and companion to him, faithfully caring for him especially during his physical decline. She is the reason he was able to remain at home for so many years following his diagnosis with Parkinson's Disease. Others who cherish knowing they will be reunited with him someday are his daughter, Kimberly Flint Keel, and husband Frank, of Rock Hill, SC; son, Rudolph Harmon Flint, and wife, Genie, of Gastonia; grandchildren Ashley Carpenter Gray and husband, Wesley Gray, of Fort Mill, SC; Aaron M. Carpenter, of Rock Hill, SC; Rudolph Harmon Flint, Jr. & Alyson Lynn Flint of Gastonia; Great-granddaughter, Audra Natalie Carpenter, of Rock Hill, SC; brother G. Patrick Flint and wife Lynn, of Rock Hill, SC, and Melissa Flint Harper and husband John, of Sunset Beach, NC, sisters-in-law Doris Harmon Carson and husband Ray, and Maxine Harmon Jenkins and husband, Bill; and a multitude of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Elsie Johnson Biggers and Emma Flint Parker, and his brother, Robert H. Flint. Following a private burial ceremony, the family will honor Rudy with a Celebration of Life on Thursday, June 6 at 1:00 PM at Myers Memorial United Methodist Church, South New Hope Road, Gastonia, NC. The family will greet friends in the church fellowship hall following the service. The entire Flint Family expresses heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the care and nurturing given him by the Westminster Skilled Nursing Care, especially those serving the 2nd Floor Dogwood Unit, and to the many staff and volunteers of Hospice and Community Care in Rock Hill, SC, all of whom are called to do their work. We are thankful to have had the blessing of so many faithful caregivers who all grew to love Rudy. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to one of three ministries: Mission Possible at Myers Memorial United Methodist Church, 301 S. New Hope Rd., Gastonia, NC 28054; Hospice and Community Care, PO Box 993, Rock Hill, SC 29731; or Westminster Health & Rehabilitation, 1330 India Hook Rd, Rock Hill, SC 29732.

CHARLES MADISON SPEARS, Husband of Wilhelmina Ariail. Charles Madison Spears, Special to The State. Lamar, Aug. 18.---The death of Charles Madison Spears, which occurred Wednesday, August 10, terminated the career of one of the best loved men in Darlington county. He spent his entire life of 48 years here. He took so prominent a part in all affairs, served in many offices and was mayor for three terms. Mr. Spears was a sufferer of Bright's disease for a number of years and retired from the mercantile business in 1910, but until the past few weeks, by exemplary living, he had been able to attend to his business and home interests. He was ill in the Florence infirmary for three weeks and everything known to medical science was resorted to. Monday, August 1, he fell into a deep coma from which he was not expected to recover, but on account of his natural vitality, after 36 hours he regained consciousness and life remained until Wednesday, August 10. Mr. Spears was the son of Joseph Spears and Phoebe Wright. He was educated in the public schools, then went to a school for boys in North Carolina to further his education. He took advantage of every opportunity, taking up the study of law, which he read for many years. At an early age he married Miss Ada Phillips of Lamar, who died five years later, in 1904, leaving a son, Leo, three years of age. A particularly sad circumstance connected with Mr. Spears' life is that he reared this boy as a companion to the age of 16 when he died after a short illness of acute Bright's disease. June 14, 1917, just two weeks before the death of his son, he was married to Miss Wilhelmina Ariail, daughter of the Rev. William Hamilton Ariail, who at that time was pastor of the Lamar Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Spears was a prominent and successful business man and in all his business relations and dealings so exemplified the spirit and principles of practical Christinan9ity as to command the highest respect and good will of all his associates. The remains were laid to rest in the family burying plot at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church Thursday afternoon, August 11, funeral services being conducted by the Rev. Mr. Waugh of the Lamar Baptist church, of which Mr. Spears was a faithful member, and the Rev. R. S. Truesdale of Maine Street Methodist Episcopal Church of Columbia.

MILTON J. PETRIE, Husband of Carroll McDaniel, Climelia Abigail Ariail family line. Milton J. Petrie, the retailer and philanthropist who gave to charities, arts institutions and people he read about in the newspaper, died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 92. Mr. Petrie, who had been ill most of this year, died of lung and kidney problems, his wife, Carroll, said. One of the country's wealthiest men, with a fortune estimated at $940 million by Forbes magazine, Mr. Petrie became known as one of its most generous, using his millions to ease the burdens of everyday people in distress as well as for more traditional causes like cancer cures, the arts, and religious and educational institutions. "He gave to a lot of organized charities," said Joseph H. Flom, a corporate lawyer in New York who was a friend of Mr. Petrie. "That's easy. But there are literally hundreds of people, just regular people, that he takes care of and has taken care of for years." When Officer Anthony J. Venditti of the New York City Police Department was killed by mobsters in 1986, Mr. Petrie sent Mrs. Venditti a check for $20,000, set up a $100,000 trust fund to pay for the education of the three Venditti children and paid off the family's mortgage. He did much the same in 1984 for the Kienast family of Liberty Corner, N.J., after William Kienast, the father of quintuplets and two other children, took his own life. Mr. Petrie helped countless other families and individuals whose plight he learned of while reading The New York Post. He was also a generous donor to Beth Israel Medical Center and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and in 1987, he and Carroll Petrie, his fourth wife, gave $10 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Carroll and Milton Petrie European Sculpture Garden. In 1992, Mayor David N. Dinkins declared June 12 Milton Petrie Day in New York City to honor Mr. Petrie's many philanthropic acts. While his friends from the financial world usually met Mr. Petrie during business deals, they got to know him over the card table at the Regency Whist Club on East 67th Street in Manhattan. There, Mr. Petrie whiled away hours playing bridge with luminaries like Alan C. Greenberg, the chairman of Bear, Stearns & Company; Laurence A. Tisch, the chairman and chief executive of the Loews Corporation and CBS Inc.; A. Alfred Taubman, the shopping center magnate, and Jack Dreyfus, the founder of the Dreyfus Corporation. The son of immigrants from Russia, Milton Petrie was born on Aug. 5, 1902, in Salt Lake City, where his parents had opened a pawn shop. The family later moved to Indiana, and Mr. Petrie dreamed of becoming a baseball player. Instead, he built a fortune from a retailing business that he built over several decades starting in the 1920's, as well as from investments he made for himself and for the Petrie Stores Corporation. Mr. Petrie's first attempt to accumulate a fortune failed when a chain of hosiery stores he founded in 1927 with his winnings from a craps game went bankrupt. But he paid his creditors in full, a fact that he liked to mention in interviews and that apparently stood him in good stead with banks and other financial institutions whose help he needed when he began putting together his retailing empire. His company's stores, which operate under a variety of different names, like Marianne, Stuarts, Rave and G& G, catered to budget-conscious women with inexpensive clothing and accessories. As shopping malls became fixtures of the American landscape, Petrie Stores began to acquire regional specialty store chains, establishing a strong national presence. Mr. Petrie was able to obtain low rents from mall operators, which, coupled with a no-advertising policy and his no-frills store decor, helped the company keep prices low. It also perfected a method of testing new merchandise by buying small quantities and watching sales in a few stores. If sales took off, it would reorder for all its stores, using its size to extract better prices from its vendors. That practice of testing merchandise in a few locations is now used by the Limited Inc. and several other specialty store retailers. But retailing changed. Competition became more intense, shopping shifted away from regional malls and customers began putting a premium on service, which was never a Petrie Stores strength. In the mid-80's, Wall Street urged Mr. Petrie to bring in new management to help the company adapt to the changes that were sweeping the industry, but he never loosed his grip on the business, continuing to run it with the help of trusted lieutenants. While the company's business floundered, its shares continued to attract investors because of a shrewd investment Mr. Petrie made. In 1978, he began accumulating shares of a little-known toy retailer, Toys "R" Us, whose stock traded for what amounted to pennies. Today, Petrie Stores owns 14.1 percent of Toys "R" Us, which today is worth about $1.5 billion. Petrie Stores itself is in the process of liquidating by selling its 1,674 stores to an investor group and distributing its Toys "R" Us shares to its shareholders, most of whom will reap a hefty profit. Mr. Petrie's death is not expected to alter those plans. In addition to his wife, Mr. Petrie is survived by three children, a son, Bernard, of San Francisco, and two daughters, Marianne Miller of Greenwich, Conn., and Patricia Hugenberg of Belvedere, Calif.; his first wife, Yetta, and two grandchildren. Services are to be held today at 11 A.M. at Temple Emanuel in New York City.

Mrs. Carroll Petrie, a major supporter of cultural, educational, and medical institutions, passed away peacefully in her Manhattan home on Thursday, January 22, at the age of 90. The personification of elegance, Carroll was also a force of nature who made a significant impact on the lives of many in New York City and across the country. Carroll was born in Greenville, South Carolina, to Helen Brown and William Carroll McDaniel. After attending Converse College she moved to New York City, where she worked as a model. She lived in Paris with her first husband, Alfonso Cabeza de Vaca y Leighton, Marqués de Portago during the 1950s, until his death in 1957. She spent the rest of her days in New York, apart from a few years living abroad in Hong Kong and Europe. In 1978, Carroll married New York businessman and philanthropist Milton Petrie, and joined him in his tireless support of many of the city's important institutions. Among the ones closest to their heart were New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Museum of Modern Art, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which opened the Carroll and Milton Petrie European Sculpture Court in 1990. Carroll continued supporting these and other organizations after Milton's death in 1994. She had a lifelong love of animals, and through the ASPCA, established the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project. She also devoted much of her energies to Converse College, whose nationally acclaimed music school is now known as The Carroll McDaniel Petrie School of Music. Another of her passions was the Parrish Art Museum, where she established the Carroll Petrie Foundation Wing. Carroll also served on the boards of several medical and cultural institutions including New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Parrish Art Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. Carroll was a member of the Board of the Central Park Conservancy and was The United Nations Association's National U.N. Day Chairperson for three years in the mid-1990s. The Museum of Modern Art recognized her as an Honorary Trustee in 1995, and named the fifth floor café in honor of her and Milton. Carroll received honors from many organizations including The Salvation Army, The American Red Cross, The American Cancer Society, Henry Street Settlement, and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. She was honored in Israel in 1998 with the Israel 50th Anniversary Tribute Award. She held an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from New York Institute of Technology and an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from Long Island University. In 1987, the King of Spain bestowed Mrs. Petrie with the highest honor awarded to foreigners, the Medal of Honor of the Order of Isabel La Católica. Mrs. Carroll Petrie is survived by her granddaughters Theodora Portago, Marquesa de Portago and Carolina Portago; and her nieces Camille Manning and Carroll Wilson. She was predeceased by her son Anthony Portago, Marqués de Portago.

Thursday, Jan. 22, 2015. She was 90. Mrs. Petrie was married to her late husband, Milton Petrie, for 17 years. Together, they established the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation, which supported educational and cultural institutions. She later founded the Carroll Petrie Foundation. Mrs. Petrie was born and raised in Greenville, S.C., the daughter of Helen Brown and William Carroll McDaniel. After attending Converse College, she moved to New York City. Working as a model, Mrs. Petrie traveled to Europe to meet such designers as Christian Dior, who years later designed her wedding gown for her marriage to her children’s father, iconic sportsman Alfonso Portago, Marques de Portago. They lived in Paris for most of the 1950s until his death in 1957. Mrs. Petrie was a supporter of the ASPCA and sent $100,000 to the president of the organization to rescue a dog she witnessed stranded on a house roof during Hurricane Katrina. In July 2012, Mrs. Petrie launched the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, a $1 million initiative administered through the ASPCA.

Carroll Petrie, a prominent socialite and philanthropist who gave hundreds of millions of dollars to museums, hospitals and charities, continuing the largess of her husband, the retailing mogul Milton Petrie, after his death in 1994, died on Jan. 22 at her home in Manhattan. She was 90. Her death was confirmed by Jay Goldberg, the executor of her will and president of the Carroll Petrie Foundation. After Milton and Carroll Petrie were married in 1978, they gave away large portions of his fortune, which Forbes magazine estimated at nearly $1 billion at his death. They gave to the Museum of Modern Art, where a cafe on the fifth floor is named after them, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which opened the Carroll and Milton Petrie European Sculpture Court in 1990. Other major beneficiaries included NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Parrish Art Museum on the East End of Long Island. Mrs. Petrie cut an elegant figure at galas, draped in gowns by Chanel, Valentino and Scaasi, and regularly appeared in society columns alongside boldface names like Barbara Walters, Oscar de la Renta, Michael R. Bloomberg and Michael Douglas. After her husband’s death she was a trustee of the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation, which was endowed with more than $300 million for various charitable endeavors. The New York Times reported in 1994 that she also inherited a $150 million trust fund, “$5 million in cash, two homes, including a Fifth Avenue apartment, planes, cars, jewels, art and antiques — the requisite paraphernalia for life at the high end.” Carroll McDaniel was born on Jan. 25, 1924, in Greenville, S.C. She moved to New York and became a model in the mid- 1940s after attending Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C., for two years. She later financed the Petrie School of Music there. Some years later she married Alfonso Cabeza de Vaca y Leighton, who was a racecar driver and the Marquis of Portago in Spain. They lived in Paris until he died in a crash during a race in 1957. She had two other marriages, both ending in divorce, before marrying Mr. Petrie, the owner of Petrie Stores. Mrs. Petrie also had a home in Palm Beach, Fla. Her survivors include a daughter, Andrea Portago, and three grandchildren. Mrs. Petrie’s foundation, along with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, created the Dog Rescue Project in 2012. The project used $1 million to move dogs from overcrowded shelters to more spacious ones.

DAVID WOLFE MITCHELL, Jean-Baptiste Mathias Ariail Canadian Family Line. MONTEREY - Dave Mitchell, 71, poet and translator, died peacefully in the arms of his wife, Barbara Mountrey, on August 21, 2011. Dave was born in Brooklyn and raised in Yorktown Heights, NY. He met his wife in 1958, and they remained close friends ever after, finally reuniting in 1997 and marrying in 2003. Dave was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2007, but was able to live at home until May 2011. He then moved into The Victorian Residential Care, where he received loving care and comfort. In June he was placed under the care of Heartland Hospice, who kept him calm and comfortable until he succumbed to the effects of Alzheimer's, exacerbated by COPD and heart damage from rheumatic fever at the age of seven. Dave's one book of poetry is now out of print, but most of his poems can be found at motherbird.com. He was always amazed by evidence of worldwide respect for his poems, such as finding that they had been translated into Estonian. He was also excited to have some of his poems used in state graduation exams, because they would be read by thousands of students, an audience few poets achieve. Dave also supported the work of many other writers, artists and photographers by publishing Talus and Scree, an international literary journal. Dave taught himself to read Russian and became a translator of technical journals. He was quite proud of having translated documents related to decommissioning a Russian biochemical plant. He is survived by his sons, Timothy Keene deWard Mitchell, Christopher Daniel Mitchell and Joshua O'Keefe (Adrienne); his brother, James Duane Mitchell (Katherine); brother-in-law and friend, William Mountrey; niece, Anne Mitchell, and great- nephew, William; and former wives, Jeanne deWard and Polly Mitchell. He was predeceased by his parents, James and Helene Mitchell and by his brother, William and sister, Jane Meri. In accordance with his wishes, Dave's body has been donated for medical research.

JEROME WOODRUFF FINNIGAN, Lucy Ariail Family Line. Jerome Jerry W. Finnigan passed away at age 86 on December 6, 2010. He was born February 9, 1924 to Ralph and Camilla Finnigan in Oak Park, Illinois. He served in the Navy during WWII and, after his discharge in 1946, began studying chemical engineering at Northwestern University. During that time he married his wife, Nancy, his spouse for 61 years. After graduating from Northwestern, Jerry and Nancy moved to the Tri-Cities where Jerry was employed at Hanford. His education in chemical engineering continued with a Master's degree from the University of Idaho, a Ph. D from Oregon State University and a career long association with several professional societies: The American Institute of Chemical Engineers, The American Ordnance Association and the American Nuclear Society. He was employed in management positions with General Electric and Battelle before becoming Dean of the Joint Center for Graduate Studies in Richland in 1981 where he served through its transition to the Tri-Cities University Center. In 1989 when TCU became the Tri-Cities campus of Washington State University he retired, taking great satisfaction in the opportunities he had helped create for local students to obtain advanced degrees without leaving the Tri- Cities. Jerry was always active in community service. He served for many years on the United Way Board of Directors, serving as Board Chairman in 1984 and was named United Way's Distinguished Volunteer of the Year in 1985. He was a leader in establishing the Benton-Franklin chapter of the American Heart Association and served a term as President of the Board of Directors. He also provided many years of service on the Board of Directors of the Volunteer Center and on the Citizen's Advisory Board of The Salvation Army. He played a pivotal role in bringing public radio Fine Arts Radio and public television KCTS Channel 9 to the Tri-Cities community. Jerry was named Manager of the Year by the local chapter of AMA and was an active member of The Friends of the Richland Public Library. He also served on the Governor's Nuclear Waste Advisory Council and was an early member of the Board of Directors of Stirling Technology Company and the Tri-Cities Enterprise Association. His commitment to helping one community and one child at a time was especially evident when he became a charter member of the Kiwanis Club of Tri-Cities Industry, serving as that club’s President in 1990-91. Among many Kiwanis club projects two were particular favorites: The Salvation Army Christmas bell ringing campaigns and a program to collect and distribute old spectacles to those unable to afford the eyesight correction they so desperately need. For his dedicated service to the Kiwanis he received the George F. Hixson Fellowship Award and the Kiwanis Legion of Honor medal. Since childhood, one of Jerry’s favorite hobbies was the study and performance of magic. He especially enjoyed working with members of his family and with friends, performing magic shows throughout the community. He also encouraged and mentored a number of young people to develop an interest in magic as a hobby. Many Tri-Citians will remember learning from Jerry how to do rope tricks and the jumping rubber bands. Elementary school principals, clergymen and Blue Angel pilots alike were beheaded in his guillotine and lived to tell the tale. Preceded in death by his parents and his brother Jim, he is survived by his wife, Nancy, their four children, Skip, Patty, Carol, Janet and his son-in-law Matt Sollender. A memorial service will be held at Einan's Funeral Home on Tuesday, December 21st at 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations may be made to The Salvation Army or charity of your choice. Jerry was a wonderful husband, father, friend and mentor to many people. He was one in a million and our hearts are broken with his passing. We love you, Dad.

She received her B.S. in Education from Fordham University in New York City, and her M.A. in English from the College of St. Rose in Albany. After high school, Mary served for 19 years as a Catholic Sister of Mercy, before making the decision to leave the convent to help care for her mother. She married Wesley James Manchester Sr. on July 29, 1967 in St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Tupper Lake. They had one son, Wesley James Manchester Jr., who currently resides in Blairsburg, Iowa. Mary was a lifelong educator and a lifelong learner. She taught for 39 years on the Middle School, High School and Community College levels. She was always actively involved in mentoring youth, encouraging them to pursue their life's goals and dreams. As a teacher, she was proud of developing an award winning student newspaper, and she loved to coach speech and debate. Mary retired from teaching in 1989 to care for her husband, Wes, who eventually passed away on Jan. 27, 1990. In Mary's retirement years, she continued to invest in young people's lives, serving with the Boy Scouts of America. She served as district chairman of the Charles E. Bedford District of the Adirondack Council of the BSA, and volunteered with Troop 911 while living in Evanston, Wyoming. Mary was also very civic minded. She took part in community planning activities in Saranac Lake in the build up to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, and with the Council for Evanston in Evanston, Wyoming, in 1997, as part of the preparation of Evanston's Master Plan 2010. Later in life, Mary learned to use a computer to stay connected and to continue to learn. She loved to research and e-mail; she enjoyed Skype calls with friends and family, and even started a blog, "Letters from Iowa" at the age of 84. At the age of 81, Mary actively participated in an online course through Boston College's School of Theology and Ministry on "Encountering Jesus in the Scriptures." This summed up well, two of Mary's passions: a love for education, and a passionate commitment to her faith. Mary loved to garden, tending to a large vegetable garden each year at her home in Saranac Lake, and a flower garden at her home in Evanston, Wyoming. But most of all, Mary loved her family - moving first to Evanston, Wyoming and later to Webster City, Iowa to stay close to her son and grandchildren. Mary is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Wesley James Manchester Sr., and her brother Morton Joseph Monty. She dearly loved, and is survived by her son Wesley James "Jim" Manchester of Blairsburg, her daughter-in-law Denise Fulin Manchester, her grandson Schuyler James, her granddaughter Elise Chamonix, her sister Julie Ann Forkey and many nieces and nephews.

MELVIN EARLE DERRICK, JR., Husband of Gail Camlin, John Harvey Ariail Family Line. Mel Derrick, 83, nationally acclaimed sportswriter and resident of Maggie Valley, N.C., went home to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, August 28. He is survived by his son, Chris Derrick; daughter, Cami Robinson and son-in-law, Shane Robinson; two grandchildren, Hannah Robinson and Emma Robinson; and five nieces and nephews. A Funeral service will be held at 11:30 am on Friday, September 11, 2015, at Salem United Methodist Church in Irmo, S.C. Melvin Earle Derrick, Jr. was born February 19, 1932, in Columbia, S.C. to Esther Mae Stallings Derrick and Melvin Earle Derrick, Sr. He was a 1954 graduate of Wofford College, where he was the Wofford Sports Publicity director and a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Derrick started his career as a sportswriter for the Atlanta Constitution and worked for his mentor, legendary sportswriter Furman Bisher, who predicted Derrick, would “develop into an excellent newspaperman” and deferred his entrance in the Army so that he could cover the 1954 college football season. Derrick served two years as an Army officer and writer for Pacific Stars and Stripes in Japan, and was hired back by Bisher at the Constitution in 1956. Derrick joined the Miami Herald in the late 1950s, where he covered sports under the guidance of another legendary sportswriter, Edwin Pope. In Miami, Derrick played in an exhibition game against the Miami Marlins and hit a single off Hall of Famer Satchel Paige. Derrick moved to the Charlotte Observer in 1963 and quickly became known throughout the Carolinas for his trademark cigar and colorful columns that provided insight into the sports events and personalities of the day. While at the Observer, Derrick was twice named N.C. Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (in 1965 and 1968). Derrick became the first PR director for the ABA Carolina Cougars in 1969, and after serving as associate editor of the Palm Beach Post, was named sports editor of the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel in 1970. In 1971, he won his third N.C. Sportswriter of the Year award. Derrick left N.C. in 1974, and over the following decade, worked as an editor of the National Enquirer, sports editor of the Virginia Pilot Ledger-Star, and publications editor for the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association. Derrick returned to the Carolinas in 1987 and served as sports editor of the Myrtle Beach Sun News until his retirement in 1997. During a career that spanned five decades, Derrick covered countless ACC and SEC college football games, ACC basketball games, NCAA basketball tournaments, and Masters, US Open and PGA golf tournaments. He also covered the World Series and several world-championship boxing matches. Newspapers throughout the U.S. have carried Derrick’s columns, and his coverage of Hurricane Hugo in 1989 received national acclaim. Derrick knew and wrote about many sports legends including Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Muhammad Ali, Johnny Unitas, Charlie Scott, David Thompson, Dean Smith, Lefty Driesell, Bones McKinney, Lou Holtz, Bobby Dodd, and Frank Howard. Of all the columns he authored, however, Derrick’s favorite was one honoring his father, a Methodist minister from South Carolina. Above his many awards and honors, Derrick regarded his children as his most significant accomplishment.

FRANCIS EUGENE (FRANK) HARRISON, Husband of Phyllis Hendricks Herring, John Harvey Ariail Family Line. Frank E. Harrison, 96, lifelong resident of Millway Road in McCormick and Greenwood Counties, passed away on March 21, 2015. A family graveside service will be held at Horeb Church Cemetery on SC Highway 10, about 3 miles north of Troy SC, on Saturday, March 28 at 2pm. A memorial service will follow at 3pm at Millway, the Harrison family home at 907 Millway Road, Bradley SC. The memorial service will be followed immediately by a gathering of friends and relatives, also at Millway, to remember and celebrate Frank, and to honor the passing of a generation. Frank was born at Millway on December 18, 1918, one of six sons of the late Wade C. Harrison and Lucia "Dolly" Hughey Harrison. Millway was a self-sufficient working farm during his childhood, during which he and his brothers saw the passing of Confederate veterans, the transition from cotton fields to pine timberland, and the effects of the Great Depression. He attended Greenwood High School, and The Citadel, where he studied history and political science and graduated with the Class of 1940. His subsequent training at the University of South Carolina School of Law was interrupted by U.S. Army service in the Second World War, which included an extended post in Alaska, commanding an anti-aircraft battery in the Aleutian Campaign. After World War II, he served in the Army Reserve as a Field Artillery Officer where he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Finishing law school after the war, Frank moved back home and began practicing law in 1947. He remained single until 1957, when he was introduced to Phyllis Hendricks Herring, with whom he fell deeply in love and married. Frank and Phyllis built a home and raised a family on Millway Road. Though they lived in the country, they were active in the communities of McCormick and Greenwood. Frank practiced law in McCormick and was McCormick County Attorney for many years. He was also an active member of the McCormick Chamber of Commerce, and was instrumental in the founding of the McCormick Country Club and the McCormick County Republican Party. He became an outspoken advocate for local and private control of land and water management in the face of federal reservoir projects, and later was instrumental in the establishment of Savannah Lakes Village. He was active in the SC Bar Association, and served on the SC Judicial Review Board. He was a longtime member of the Exchange Club, the American Legion, and the First Presbyterian Church in Greenwood. Frank enjoyed golf, history, politics, music, forestry, and weekends in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He loved his home, his family, and his community, and he clung to his work and his life tenaciously. He kept his McCormick law office open until he was 92 years old, and regularly patrolled the family timberland even longer. A widower since losing his beloved Phyllis in 2013, he spent the last 18 months under skilled nursing care but still sat up at a desk almost every day, paying attention to the world and sharing its history with whoever would listen. He was the last survivor of a large family, and one of the last of what has been called this country's greatest generation. He leaves behind an enduring legacy of hard work, honorable service, devotion to country and family, and respect for the land. He rose to many challenges, won some and lost some, and never lost his ability to laugh at himself. He is survived by sons Francis E. Harrison Jr. of Louisville CO, Wade C. Harrison II of Atlanta GA, and John E. "Jack" Harrison of Somerset WI; daughters-in-law Deborah Johnson Harrison of Louisville CO and Debra Larson Harrison of Somerset WI; grandchildren Christian A. Harrison and Signe Ariail Harrison of Louisville CO, John E. "Jack" Harrison Jr of Minneapolis MN and Luke E. Harrison of Somerset WI. Memorials may be made to Horeb Church Cemetery Fund, PO Box 51, Bradley SC 29819.

DONNA HARTFORD, A Very Dear Friend of Lorraine Patterson, Wife of James Patterson, William Harrison Ariail Family Line. Donna Louise Hartford, 67, had a wonder-filled time living on earth. On October 4, 2016, she left her earthly Seneca, SC home and began sending Aloha greetings from heaven to all friends and family. Born March 13, 1949, in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, Donna was born again on June 21, 1981, and gave Jesus Christ all the credit for her full life. When the daughter of Harriman and Billie (Robichaud) Anderson heard that she had terminal brain cancer and the chances for survival, she responded, "Either way, I win." Donna married Richard Paul Hartford on June 5, 1971, and together they deeply enjoyed life. They always wanted a lot of children, so when their only son Tyler and beloved daughter-in-law Genessa Hartford (Goshen, IN) gave them Cadence, Kyrie, Brayson, Brannen, Bretton, Laken, and Lina, her heart overflowed even more. She also deeply cherished her siblings Terry (Paula) Anderson and Robyn (Kelsey) Simmons and their families. After graduating from Corinna Union Academy in 1967, she enjoyed meeting people through her work at Pierce Insurance Agency, Eastern Maine Vocational Tech, and AJ Cole & Sons (later Bennett Tire & Wheel). Donna's New Hope Baptist Church family brought her great joy and she especially loved visiting with the elderly and shut-ins. And just like her Creator, who takes delight in making new things, she spent hours creating new artwork in multiple media forms. Most all of her artwork was given away or sold to fund mission work. Through her work, church, and family, she always tried to welcome people with a smile and find the beauty in life. A memorial service will be held on October 8, 2016, at 11 a.m. at New Hope Baptist Church, Seneca, SC. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. A December memorial service will be offered in Dexter, ME. The family requests that attendees for either of these events wear Hawaiian or festive theme clothing for our celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Cornerstone Foundation/Loma de Luz Hospital in Balfate, Honduras where Donna had served on several occasions and Sarah's House of Maine, which provides temporary lodging for cancer patients and caregivers.

Miss Me, But Let Me Go.
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone, It’s all a part of the Master’s plan A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me, but let me go.

DANIEL DAVIS ERHARDT, Husband of Mary Theresa Rooney, Jean-Baptiste Mathias Ariail Family Line. Davis Erhardt wasn't born on Long Island, but his life's work was. From the time he was a child, when his grandparents in Coram regaled him with tales, Erhardt was absorbed by the area's rich heritage and dedicated himself to gathering and preserving as much as he could. "He was a collector. He collected anything that pertained to local history," said Paul Infranco, a seventh-grade teacher at Longwood Middle School whose class used materials from Erhardt for a project. Erhardt, a retired librarian and local historian, died of cardiac arrest on June 7 at University Hospital and Medical Center at Stony Brook. He was 76. Erhardt was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to John and Eleanor Davis Erhardt. Because of his father's foreign-service job, the family moved around the world, living in South Africa, Austria, Greece, Germany and England. They eventually settled in Coram, where Erhardt's grandparents had built a house in the 1920s. As a child, Erhardt became interested in local history when his grandparents, whose home was near the landmark Davis town hall, shared historical stories. When he was older, Erhardt began working in a branch of the Queensborough library as a branch manager. After several years, he worked his way to the main library and was named head of the Long Island division, which is responsible for historical information on Long Island, at the Queensborough Public Library. Erhardt, who retired in 1982, was fascinated by Long Island's history and amassed a collection of manuscripts that documented the history of Long Island. In the late 1980s, Erhardt served as a trustee at the Suffolk County Historical Society. He was also a charter member of the Longwood Society for Historical Preservation. He worked on restoring and preserving historical buildings and furniture. Erhardt was cremated and a memorial service will be held on June 23 at Union Cemetery in Middle Island. Infranco said students were planning to plant a tree in honor of Erhardt. Erhardt is survived by his brother, Richard, of Seguine, Texas, and a cousin, Margaret, of Miller Place. Donations can be mailed to the Suffolk County Historical Society at 300 Main St., Riverhead, N.Y. 11901.

JACOB FRANCIS MATTHEWS, Son of Jennifer Marie Fredette, Michel Ariail Canadian Family Line. Jacob Francis Matthews, 18 of Westmoreland NH died Sunday as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He was born in Keene, NH, on September 28th, 1998, the son of Jennifer (Fredette) and Jeffrey Matthews. He attended school in Westmoreland and Keene and was set to graduate this year. He was beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend. He played in a local band, The Steiner Youth and worked at Luca's in Keene. He is survived by his parents, Jennifer and Jeffrey Matthews of Westmoreland, his brother Zachary of Westmoreland, his maternal grandmother, Maureen Fredette of Westmoreland, his paternal grandparents Joanne and Charles Matthews of Swanzey, his best friend Jacob Hitchcock of Keene and dozens of cousins, aunts and uncles with whom he shared a close bond. He is predeceased by his paternal grandfather, James Fredette of Westmoreland. Jacob was an old soul as was evidence for his passion for playing the Blues. He was well known for his kind spirit, charming smile and witty sense of humor. He had many activities of interest but they all paled in comparison with his absolute passion for guitar. If he wasn't at school, work or hanging out with his best friend planning their epic road trip for this coming summer, he could be found hanging out either at Retro Music or in his room playing guitar, often with his brother and often into the early hours of the morning. He would video chat with both friends and strangers jamming, learning and teaching guitar. Music was more than a hobby, it was his passion and a huge part of his identity. Because of his passion for both learning and teaching guitar, a scholarship has been set up to honor it. The Jacob Matthews Guitar Scholarship will be used to help would be guitarists on their way with both equipment and lessons that otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. In lieu of flowers, donations to this can be sent to The Jacob Matthews Guitar Scholarship, c/o Savings Bank of Walpole, 84 Marlborough Street, Keene NH 03431. Calling hours will be from 1:30-3:00pm on Saturday March 18, 2017. The funeral service will be at 3:00pm followed by a gathering of friends and family. This will all take place at Monadnock Covenant Church, Base Hill Road, Keene NH.

CHRISTINE VESTAL ARIAIL, Wife of Maj. William Coke Ariail, Jr., John Harvey Ariail Family Line. time resident of Spartanburg and the Summit Hills Retirement Community, died peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, July 12, 2017. Chris was born November 21, 1917, the youngest (and last surviving) of the six children of May Shemwell Vestal and Dr. Willis J. Vestal of Lexington, NC. After graduating from the Lexington schools, Chris attended Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, in Greensboro. She met her husband on a blind double date and remembered thinking, "I hope my date is the handsome one," as she watched them walk up to the house. He was. Chris married William Coke Ariail, Jr., a young textile executive with Reeves Brothers, in 1940. Their first child was born while Bill was training to fight in World War II. Upon his safe return, she took up her life's work of raising a family and making beautiful homes in each place the company sent them: Woodruff, Rutherfordton, Chesnee and Saxon were followed by a stint in Summit, New Jersey, when Bill commuted to the New York office. Near the end of Bill's career, the Ariails returned to Spartanburg in 1968, where Chris made yet another lovely home and became active in Trinity United Methodist Church. She participated regularly in her Circle, and for many years served on the Wedding Committee helping prepare the church for the joining of many new couples. People interested Chris more than any other aspect of life, and she had the gift of making cheerful acquaintance and lasting friendships. She was loyal, loving and fun-loving, and her friendship was not for a day, but for decades. She loved entertaining her friends in her beautiful homes and had people over frequently throughout her life. Although she endured struggles and the terrible loss of her youngest child, Bonnie Lee Ariail at age 14, she was a happy person, and people flocked around her. When her health began to decline she moved to Summit Hills, where she made many new friends. Chris is survived by her son, William Coke Ariail, III of Durham, NC, and his wife Kate; and by her daughter, Janis Christine Ariail Everson of Richmond, VA. She is also survived by her faithful companion and assistant, Viola Cothran, whose kindness and generosity greatly relieved the burdens of age and infirmity. Chris' youngest child, Bonnie, died in 1969, and her husband Bill in 1987. Chris will be buried with them in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, Spartanburg, SC. A graveside service will be held at 3:00 PM Sunday, July 16, 2017, in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, 1300 Fernwood-Glendale Rd., Spartanburg, SC 29307, with the Rev. A. Mickey Fisher officiating.
