NOTES
1). bobspu.ged BIO The farm where Virgil GILCHRIST was born belonged to his grandfather, Thomas GILCHRIST. This property on the south bank of the Tippecanoe River was part of the original land purchased by James and Mary ANDERSON GILCHRIST and later deeded to Thomasand his brother, James, Jr. James later willed all of it to Thomas. William and Artiemicia made their home with Thomas on the GILCHRIST farm. About 1902 Thomas sold the property and puchased other farmland on the north side of the Tippecanoe River. The family moved into a two story log home on that land shortly before their second son, Byron, was born in January, 1903. From their grandfather and their father, Virgil & Byron learned the skills for farming and carpentry that would later become their means of support. During the years they lived on Thomas farm, the boys helped their father and grandfather erect a huge barn on the property. This barn with its extensive conrete foundation, was admired by the entire community. A few years later, a devatating fire destroyed the barn and killed some of the family s livestock, including Gyp , Virgil s prize winning horse, greatly favored by Byron. Part of the concrete foundation of that barn was still standing when compiler visited the site with her father in the 1950s. Although both sons maintained their love of farming, Virgil and his brother left the family home early to earn their way in construction business. Virgil went to the Chicago area first, however, to work on a race horse farm. There he nurtured a lasting love for trotters and pacers and the sulky races that were featured in most county and state fairs. While Virgil was in IL in 1920, his mother died from a cerebral hemorrhage. William never fully accepted the loss of his beloved wife, but he remained on the farm to care for his aging father until Thomas died in 1926. By that time, both Virgil and Byron were working in construction and boarding in the home of Jim and Emma STANLEY in South Bend. The STANLEYs were the uncle and aunt of the girl Byron was later to marry. After Thomas death, William left the home place and joined his sons in South Bend. The family had attended the South Germany Church until Byron s birth when Byron was very young, they joined the Whippoorwill Church ,later renamed GrandView Evangelical. Virgil s father was Sunday School Superintendent there for many years. Virgil and Byron both enjoyed singing, and both sang in the choir and with various quartets in the area. Virgil was a handsome young man and notunpopular with the ladies. He loved to dance and told of attending parties and dances with Sarah MARSHALL who later married a brother in law of Virgil s , or with his cousin, Alice WRIGHT. Once he danced all evening with a mystery lady who arrived at acostumed dance in a sleek, black chauffeur driven car. The lady refused to remove her mask, and later departed as mysteriously as she had come. Virgil never learned her identity. Virgil followed his brother to greener pastures in the uncivilized Florida Everglades for a short time, but both returned to northern INDIANA and their familiar construction and farming ways of life. Finally in 1927, Virgil s heart was captured by Lizzie O DELL, who had been his neighbor and had attended the same school andchurch for several years. They were married in the fall of 1927. By the time of The Great Depression, the couple had three little girls their first son, given the traditional family name James , was the first baby born in Fulton County in the new year,1933. Times were hard for the young family. Virgil was forced to take any kind of work he could find. He had built a new home for the family in Mishawaka, IN earlier, but rheumatic fever made it impossible for him to work for a long time. This lack of employment, his illness and the poverty imposed by the Depression caused him to lose the new house. During the Depression years, Virgil frequently worked away from home. The family lived on rented properties most had enough land for a garden and one ortwo cows. Most of the young family s food was raised by their own hands. At times when Virgil was working elsewhere during the week, Lizzie always called Betts by her husband did the farming including milking cows, feeding chickens and pigs and whatever was to be done in their vegetable garden. She also cared for four very young children and her house. Virgil came home to relieve her ofsome of the outside work on weekends. Finally about 1939, his construction work with the DuPont Company took himto Greencastle, IN. Virgil detested the time spent away from his family, so he coaxed his wife to bring the children and live in Putnam County. It was there during the spring of that year that compiler was born. That same summer, Virgil was transferredto southern INDIANA. He again preceded his family to the new location, leaving Betts to join him some weeks later, after he had found them a house. The family lived briefly in a rental house beneath a R.R. bridge in Jeffersonville, very near the OhioRiver. The constant layer of black dirt and soot in that house soon became more than Betts could tolerate, so another rental house was found in New Albany, IN. With the outbreak of W.W. II, Virgil s work took him to northeastern OKLAHOMA. Once moreBetts followed, but this trip involved a long train ride with five young children. The trip was long remembered for its stressful events, e.g. when 2 year old compiler s foot became stuck in the railroad ties as Mother and children rushed to change trains. By 1943, the family had returned to INDIANA, this time to the area near Louisville, KY. This would eventually become the first long term home since the family left Fulton County. But before he was able to purchase a home for the family, Virgil wouldmove them into and out of three rented houses. For a brief time, they shared a house on 7th Street in Jeffersonville with the family of a friend and fellow DuPont employee, Ammon KILLEBREW. Ammon s nephew, Frank, would eventually become Virgil s son in law. Finally about 1945, Virgil and Betts were able to buy an older, bungalow style house just outside Jeffersonville. The house was badly in need of improvements, most of which were accomplished, but slowly, in the 30 years they lived there. Because of the nature of the construction business, there were still times when Virgil worked away from home. The GILCHRISTs and their two youngest children lived for nearly two years 1953 1955 in Reidland, KY, near Paducah. There Virgil supervised the rebuilding of the community s consolidated school which had been destroyed by fire the year before. After his long time employers, Erhardt and Knopf Construction Company, closed their business, Virgil worked for a short time for various smaller contractors.The scarcity of work and his advancing age threatened his sense of security, however, and following the construction of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church School in Louisville, Virgil and his oldest son, Jim, established their own small contruction company. Slightly more than a year later, Jim was offered an opportunity to work for the Overhead Door Company of Louisville. Realizing the security involved for his son s future, Virgil bought Jim s share of their business, then continued on his own untilhe he could no longer finance the business. During this period when work was so scarce, Virgil and Betts had difficulty meeting their expenses. Regardless of the state of their bank account, however, one tenth of whatever they had at the end of each week went to the church. Betts was often not in agreement with this practice. Somehow, just when it Yet, just when it seemed there was no way they could meet a monthly payment, the money always seemed to present itself! A few times, this came in the form of anonymous gifts...events that Virgil found extremely hard to accept, even though he was thankful for the assistance. Once during this time, Virgil was asked to submit a bid on a building job which would have solved many of their financial problems. Although he needed the work, and would have welcomed the challenge, when he found out that this building would house a retail liquor business, he refused to bid on it. Virgil s religious principles would not allow him to have any involvement in a project that might cause other men trouble in their family or personal lives. He once explained to compiler why he did not drink alcohol.... I enjoy the taste of it! I really think I could drink when I wanted to, and it would not be a problem for me. But my drinking might influence another man, who is unable to control it, to drink more. I don t want to influence another man to do something harmful to himself or his family. In the mid 1960s, Virgil was hired by the City of Jeffersonville to superintend and maintain public housing facilities. Virgil was held in high esteem by the residents and the city officials connected with this project. In 1967 Virgil received public recognition from Mayor Richard VISSING for his efficient and caring service to the residents and to the city of Jeffersonville. Through the influence of his teenaged daughters, Virgil returned to active church life in the late 1940s. In the years that followed, he held several positions in the Park Place Methodist Church. He sang bass inthe church choir and was the song leader for all evening services, selecting and directing the congregational singing, and arranging for special music for these services solos, duets, etc. After W.W. II, Virgil was asked to teach a Sunday School classof high school students. Several of the young men in this group left to serve in the Armed Forces during the Korean Conflict some returned to this class, but a few did not come home from the battle fields. This class remained intact for many years. They selected The Crusaders as the name of their class. Virgil was known as Pop to all of them, and later, to their children. Pop s Class was still together many years after Virgil s cancer forced him to give up teaching. In December, 1970, a long period of recurring stomach trouble resulted in exploratory surgery. The operation revealed a large inoperable abdominal tumor. A colostomy gave some temporary relief, but the disease progressed rapidly. Virgil s one wish during the last months of his life was that he be able to work with his beloved rose bushes one more time. His wish was granted just a few weeks before he died on Maundy Thursday, 1971. He was buried on Easter Sunday, as the country celebrated the resurrection of Virgil s beloved Savior.

The following are letters written to compiler by her father, Virgil, while she was in deaf education training at Central Inst. for the Deafin St. Louis, MO, 1959 1961. V.J. GILCHRIST & SON GENERAL CONTRACTOR 318 Mary Street Jeffersonville, Ind. Dear Ann September 23, 1959 We received your letter yesterday and it is needless to say we appreciated it an awful lot. We are always looking forward for your letters, but this one did us more good than usual. You knowwe have been praying for a long time that you someway would see things that way. I am glad that you have reconized the guideing hand of God in this circumstance. I have no dought about it, and if you will look for and pray for Gods guidence and direction in every thing you do, you will be surprised and led into great experiences, which you cannot understand now. This is just the begining. What you will experience in the future will depend on what you do about this. God cannot make much use of people who Zechariah 7 11 refuse to hearken, and pull away the shoulder, and stop their ears, that they should not hear. So if you feel that you were led as you said thank God for it, and dont let any thing change your mind or lead you away from it. I intendedto answer your letter last night but the electric pump conked out on us, and frank and I worked on it untill around nine thirty before we induced it to go back to work. By that time I was tired enough to go to bed and just rest. This has been a ratherhectic week so far anyway. Monday the water pump on the truck played out, and Tuesday the clutch went out on the car and then the pump in the house. So you see things just have to hapen some times and all in a pile. That clutch in the car was the aftermath of that noise we were hearing in the car before we left St. Louis. We are very thankful that it waited till we got home to go out. Every thing else around here is running on schedule, We went to prayer meeting tonight, had a good crowd, and a good service Jane Cantor was asking about you, she wants your address. said she was going to write to you. We are going all out for a big crowd next Sunday, rally day you know. They are going to give a banner to the class haveing the most people over their highest attendance in the last year. My class is sure working for it. I guess we ll have to take them out in the yard, we sure cant get them in that class room, if as many comes as says they will. Well Ann it is bed time and I have about told you all I know. After all this is a pretty long letter for me to write. So I better close before I wear out this old type writter. So by now, and God bless you and keep you under the shadow of his will. Lots of love from us all your proud Daddy Sunday March 3 1961 Dear Ann As it is raining outside and I think every one else in the house is asleep, I am going to try to surprise you by writeing a letter. If I cant read it when I get done I know you can t, So I ll tear it up and throw it in the waste basket. It has been raining all day yesterday, last night and still at it at 4 P.M. today. The river is getting awfull high in fact it is nearing flood stage, and still it rains. We are all right here. Sam and Wilma are here today. Frank & Jean went to Claudias. Jimsmother in law is there for dinner today. I guess that places everybody for today. We had a pretty good attendance at church this morning in spite of the rain. Last Sunday we were snowed in, and so was everyone else. They had 44 at first service and 20at second with 50 at sunday School. It is so warm today. it seemes impossible that only a week ago we were snowed in. We havnt had any fire all day. My work is awfull slow so far I have about 3 days work for next week. I have worked pretty good throughJanuary & February, but I had almost nothing through October, November and December. It is all just small jobs. Just 1 man and myself working now. Sure hope things break pretty soon. Did Old Harry come to visit you yet. If you get to see him give himmy regards. But just don t tell him how much I love him. Id kinda hate for him to know. This in reference to President TRUMAN. I m sure glad you are doing satisfactory to your self with your grades. Me and mom think you are doing pretty good. In fact we are just pretty proud of you. I was talking to Helen Gibson this morning and she said Billies application to the Air Force acadamy had been accepted. All that can stop him now is if he should fail to make his grades the balance of this term. Theyare pretty proud of him too. I think Bob has about decided that all basket ball has gone berskirk. berserk Jeff got beat in the sectional by Silver Creek, who went on to the regional, and then got put out by Corydon. Every prediction that he Bob hasmade has been wrong. He even lost his temper and sold his Turney tickets for a dollar. But he still keeps on practiceing. Well Honey, Ive wrote every thing I know, so I ll quit and leave a little space for Mom. By now. With lots of love. Your Daddy REF 1. Personal knowledge of compiler daughter 2. Byron B.

2). bobspu.ged BIO Elizabeth O DELL was the first of her parent s children to be born outside of Laurel Co., KY. Her parents, five older brothers, and older sister, Sarah Hettie, had migrated to Indiana, following the example of her uncle, John Henry or Uncle Bud ashe was called. Although she never lived in KY or TN, the family s strong mountain background greatly influenced Lizzie s growing up. The family seldom lived more than a year in the same house. Frank O DELL was not eager to put down roots in any one spot after he left KY. He traveled to various parts of the country teaching music by shaped notes , leaving his wife and family for weeks at a time. Before spending the last 30 35 years of his life in Marshall and Fulton Counties in Northern Indiana, Franktook his growing family to Craig and Delaware Counties in Oklahoma where Elizabeth s 3 youngest siblings were born. One of these, a twin to her youngest sister, died as a baby and was buried in Craig Co. In spite of her keen mind, her love of learning, and an avid interest in poetry and literature, Elizabeth was forced to end her formal education at the sixth grade level to help her crippled mother with the housekeeping and care for the large family after her eldest sister took work outside the home. After her mother s death in 1924, Elizabeth worked at a local radiator factory in Marshall Co.,IN. While employed there, she suffered heat exhaustion which caused her to be extremely sensitive to very warm temperatures for the rest of her life. Elizabeth s early experience with hard work and housekeeping was valuable to her in raising her own large family. Frequently, Virgil would have to work away from home during the week, returning only on weekends to relieve his wife from responsibility for the care ofthe animals and the garden. Elizabeth was described by her husband as a good looking young lady at the time of their marriage. She was tall 5 10 and thin about 135 lb and walked like a queen. Virgil once told this compiler, You would be very lucky to be half as attractive as your mother was when she was 25 years old! Elizabeth maintained her erect posture until illness bent her shoulders beneath the pain of cancer. After the birth of her youngest child in 1946, Elizabeth lost control of her weight which increased to well over 200 lb. and her height decreased by 1 . Still, Elizabeth never left home without lacing herself into her boned corset, and when dressed up , was a tall and proud looking woman. Probably because of her mountain heritage,Elizabeth was not openly affectionate. Her philosophy was, If you love me, act like it don t tell me! To her this meant deeds of love, not open expressions of affection. She appeared to be stern and demanding, and had a tendency to intimidate most people...especially her daughters beaus and later their husbands. Her reddish brown hair, snapping brown eyes, and Irish temperment contributed to this image however, she had a keen wit and was well liked by the people in the community. She loved music andhad a strong, but untrained soprano voice. Her repertoire of traditional hymns and mountain folk songs was extensive few of her chores could be done without singing. Unlike her husband, she was not confident enough to perform for an audience, but her strong voice was missed in church if she were absent. Although three occurrences of cancer took toll on her body over a period of ten years, she did not submit to its effects until after Virgil died in April, 1971. Eleven months later, she went to join him.The medical cause of death was invasive cancer , but her family knew that grief contributed greatly. A TRIBUTE published in the pages of THE EVENING NEWS Jeffersonville, Indiana MAR 18, 1972 MEMORIAL OBITUARY Entered into Eternal Rest GILCHRIST RITES ARE PENDING Mrs. Elizabeth O Dell Gilchrist, 68, of 318 Mary St., Jeffersonville, died today at Clark County Memorial Hospital.

The family requests that expressions of sympathy take the form of contributions to the Park Place Methodist Church Memorial Fund or the University of Louisville Cancer Research Fund . July, 1994 Wilma GILL and compiler discovered the following poem between pages of the Bible that Elizabeth used during the time of Virgil s illness and death. The source is unknown. SAFELY HOME I am home in Heaven, dear ones All s so happy, all s so bright! There s perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief are over, Every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the Valley of the Shade? Oh! but Jesus love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread And with Jesus arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still Try to look beyond earth s shadows, Pray to trust our Father s will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idle stand Do your work while life remaineth You shall rest in Jesus land. When that work is all complete, He will gently call you home Oh, the rapture of the meeting! Oh, the joy to see you come! The following is a letter Elizabeth wrote to compiler February 14, 1961. Compiler was in her senior year of college, at Central Institute for the Deaf Washington University, St. Louis, MO. and had been offered a summer tutoring position by the U.S. Ambassador to Bermuda, whose son attended CID during the school year. Dear Ann. It is a busy day for me so I m... written at the top of a verse printed inside a Thinking of You greeting card. the verse read, Taking just a moment to send a card your way To say, Hello! how are you? I m thinking of you today! Nothe truth is Im out of envelopes so this was the best I could do this A.M. I really Do have another busy day though I m doing Claudia s washing. I did mine and Wilma s yesterday. Wilma is having back trouble again. I ironed for her Sat. and wash & iron for her this week. Well washing s all done again now I must get at the ironing. It is almost lunch time now though. Your Father & Brother Jim think you should go to Bermuda. I say its your problem to answer for it s you that will or won t be happy.The only thing I can say is, and I don t know how to say it without you taking the wrong meaning. But here it is. We are flat broke or will be when we pay taxes. Our taxes came as quite surprise they are about $900.00. We have enough to pay them andby really skimping and saving Dad can take SMALL jobs till we get caught up again. I m not telling you this to cause you to worry but to let you know we are not going to be able to give you much money. I hope we can figure out some way for your springclothes for graduation and we may hit a streak of good luck for a change. Dad says he refuses to worry for God has taken pretty good care of all of us and he will continue to do so. We really aren t worrying about it. I don t understand MYSELF. but I mnot worried. Now don t say anything about this Dad didn t want any of the kids to know, but of course Bob Deen had to know, he figured the taxes. And Claudia told Jean and she told Jim so that just leaves Wilma not knowing. He just don t want the kidsworring about us. We are in no means suffering. it s just keeping him from bidding jobs of any size. Today is a beutiful day so was yesterday. I just hope it lasts. It was good to talk to you Sat. You are almost as bad about writing as I anymore. Jeanhas a Valentine party at school this afternoon and I think Gladys Killebrew is down there. Well I must fix Dad some lunch and get this in the box. Write soon. Lots of love. Mom. Elizabeth added the following to Virgil s letter to compiler on 3 MAR 1961 Aren t you surprised? I was when he told me he had written this. He has gone to take Bob to church M.Y.F. . Just talked to Jean she is going back on Mrs. Wheeler s case again tonite. I think I told you about her falling down the church steps at Wall Street. Jean took her case from 11 7 the first week then gave it to Doris Maloney. Margaret Collet has the 7 3. Her boy is an officer for Silver Creek Ball Team so she wanted to see them play yesterday. Jean worked for her. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler talked her into coming back 11 7. She says she will try again for awhile. She is so afraid she will neglect her family. I will wash for her tomorrow. It seems Dad has told you all there is to tell so I will just say. We miss you and will be glad when you are home again. Love Mom March, 1996 Hubert O DELL, youngest brother of Elizabeth s, has loaned compiler some Family Record Sheets from his mother s Bible.
