Introduction

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

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

The children of Claude have Louisa McCollum, Ethel's mother, as both maternal grandmotherand paternal step-grandmother. When Louisa, widow of William Millard Dailey and motherof Ethel Dailey, married Gentry, Ethel and Gentry's son Claude became stepbrother andstepsister. Ethel and Claude must have hit it off well, since they were married two monthsaf te r the i r paren ts 'ma r r i a g e . C l au d ethereupon had Louisaas both stepmother andmother-in-law.

The Dailey family isresearched by SylviaM a r c o t t e([email protected]),a descendant of W. M.Dailey.

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

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

45

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

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

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

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

6. Enos Francis McCollum9, born 22 Sep 1834 in Randolph Co., NC10; died 16 Aug1926 in Haddam, Brandford Township, Washington Co., KS11. He was the son of 12.William McCollum and 13. Sarah Spoon. He married 7. Anna Vinzant 6 Mar 1859 inHenricks Co., Indiana.

7. Anna Vinzant12, born Abt. 1834 in Indiana13; died 23 Nov 1880 in Lineville, WayneCo., IA. She was the daughter of 14. William Vinzant and 15. Louisa King.

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

During the Civil War, Enos was enrolled as a private on 12 August 1862, in Company H of the99th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers. He was honorably discharged at Indianapolis on 5 June1865. (Declaration for an Original Disability Pension, 1890). He served as a musician.

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

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

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

It appears that all of Anna's older siblings were born in Ohio. Primary reason for identifyingAnna as born in Indiana is the 1850 census, but other data supports a move to Indiana about1832.

From Donna Hunter, Anna's great granddaughter:

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

49

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

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

James William Vinzant; born 7 Feb 1853; married (2) Unknown Moore.

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

Newspaper article: "Gun Used With Deadly Effect - Shooting in Room at St. Regis HouseResults in Death of H.B. McCollum" H.B. McCollum is dead, J.L. Wenger is sufferingfrom serious injuries on the head, and Ed. I. Slagle is held by the criminal authorities toanswer a charge of murdering the former and assaulting the latter. The affray took place onSaturday night in the St. Regis rooming house on shoshone Street South. Statements as tocauses which led to the shooting are conflicting, as made by Slagel, Wenger, and Jensen.Former alleges that an attempt was made by McCollum, Wenger and Jensen, and that heshot to protect his property and possibly his own life. Wenger, who resides with his wife at644 Elm Street, says the assault was entirely unprovoked, and had all the aspects of adeliberate attempt to hold up the three men. In this statement, Jensen gives some support.Wenger was beaten about the head with a revolver, used in the shooting of McCollum.Wenger states he grappled with Slagle after McCollum had been shot down, in an effort tosave himself from a similar fate. All the men implicated admit that they had arranged toplay a game of poker in a St Regis house room engaged by Wenger. The latter, McCollumand Jensen reached the room ahead of Slagle, Wenger and Jensen say. A fire was started ina small stove and other preparations were making for the game when, according to Wenger,Slagle appeared at the door. McCollum, it is said, met Slagle at the door and invited him in,but the latter, after taking note of the number of the room, passed down the hall to alavatory. In a few minutes, according to an account detailed today by Wenger, Slagle

50

returned and as he entered the room drew a revolver from his shirt and ordered the men toput up their hands. Wenger, at the time the order was issued was stooped over picking uppoker chips which he had spilled. McCollum is related to have imemdiately complied withthe order and then was shot. The missle struck immediately under and to one side of theheart, ranging upward in passage through the body until it passed out of the back just belowthe shoulder blade. Jensen, it is said, crawled under a bed, while Wenger attacked Slagle,seizing the revolver to save his own life. In the struggle that ensued Slagle got uncontrolledpossession of the weapon and smashed his victim on the head a number of times, inflicting anumber of bad scalp gashes. While the fight was on Wenger attracted attention of personson the street and in the house by shouting for help. Jensen came to his aid and the two menmanaged to push the fighting Slagle from the room, down the hall to the head of the stairs,where Policeman Frank Austin took Slagle in custody. Wenger, bleeding profusely from hismany hurts, hastened to Dr. Clouchek's office where the injuries were treated. He was laterarrested by Deputy Sheriff H.C. Van Ausdein at his home on Elm Street. Jensen wasimmediately taken in charge as a witness and is being held for the preliminary examination.Following his arrest, Slagle is said to have advised the sheriff that the three men attackedhim as he entered the room and that he pulled the gun to defend himself. He says he carriedthe weapon in his hip pocket. Slagle is a sheep camp tender, and came here some monthsago from Washington state. Wenger is a concrete finisher by trade, but of late, he admits, hehas not had much employment at anythning. He picked apples and topped beets during thefall, and lately has been employed by Dr. Gilbert Telford as janitor, he says. He has onechild, a boy of nine years. Slagle says he was last employed by Case and Schildman ofFiler. Wenger says he had never played a game of cards with Slagle before, but thisstatement is denied by Slagle. McCollum, the dead man, worked at common labor, wasabout 60 years of age and has a son about 25 years old living in Twin Falls. Slagle is 48years of age and Jensen slightly younger. a raid of the St. Regis roomsthe first of the yearyeilded some undesirable men and women in the dragnet of the sheriff's forces.

Notes for Enos A. McCollum:Enos deserted his large family 1 September 1906 after the birth of his seventh child, Hiram,taking seven-year-old Myrtle with him. He later remarried (to Mary) and had two daughtersand one son before leaving her too. About that time Myrtle returned to her mother. It isunknown what became of Enos after that.

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

Obituary, Hamburg Reporter, 5 Feb 1959:

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

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

He also wrote: I have discovered more details of my parents' later years in Douglas whichincludes info as to Aunt Cinny's buying their home in Douglas - paying cash - and with noparticular repayment mentioned. That sure bailed my parents out in a time of urgency sincethat was the only house for sale in Douglas and they were being evicted by the youngorphan owner who wanted to live in his house. I knew before that Charlie and Cinny weregreat people, but that deal was the clincher beyond all doubt (for me at least).

Child of Abraham DeWees and Jane McCollum is:5 i. Mary DeWees, born 24 May 1795 in Greenbrier Co., VA; died 29 Jul 1865 in Knox Co.,

Rio Township, IL; married John Wiley Dailey 17 Oct 1815 in Grandview, OH.

12. William McCollum36, born 1 Oct 1806 in North Carolina; died Sep 1846 inRandolph Co., NC37. He was the son of 24. John McCollum and 25. Margaret Elliot. Hemarried 13. Sarah Spoon 31 Mar 1827 in Randolph Co., NC37.

13. Sarah Spoon37, born 1 Aug 1810; died Aft. 1860 in North Carolina37. She was thedaughter of 26. Christian Spoon and 27. Nancy Chaplin.

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

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

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

Children of William McCollum and Sarah Spoon are:i. Susannah McCollum37, born 4 Aug 1828 in Randolph Co., NC; married Josiah T. Bray 28

Aug 1842 in Randolph Co., NC38.6 ii. Enos Francis McCollum, born 22 Sep 1834 in Randolph Co., NC; died 16 Aug 1926 in

Haddam, Brandford Township, Washington Co., KS; married (1) Anna Vinzant 6 Mar 1859in Henricks Co., Indiana; married (2) Elizabeth W. Hines Abt. 1881.

iii. Lovey Ann McCollum38, born 1839 in Randolph Co., NC39; married (1) Hiram C. York 11Jan 1857 in Randolph Co., NC39; born Abt. 181140; married (2) James Foster 29 Mar 1860in Randolph Co., NC41.

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

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

15. Louisa King

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

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

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

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

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

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

55

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

Child of William Vinzant and Louisa King is:7 i. Anna Vinzant, born Abt. 1834 in Indiana; died 23 Nov 1880 in Lineville, Wayne Co., IA;

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

56

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

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

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

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

This may be the John McCollum who served in Nixon's NC Militia during the War of 1812.

27. Nancy Chaplin49, died 1853 in Henry, IA49.

Notes for Christian Spoon:The 1850 census shows Enos and Lovey McCollum, his grandchildren, in Christian'shousehold. By 1860, when he was 70, Nancy was no longer in his household, but Pertina, age28 was listed there as a "domestic" (which usually meant wife on these census forms). Theyevidently had a 1-year-old son, Isaac E.

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

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

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

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

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

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

59

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

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

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

Jonathan's Revolutionary War Pension was disapproved due to "partisan or tory war notprovided for", more than likely because he had only North Carolina service and no Federalservice.

More About Claude Smith French:Burial: Rosehill Cemetery, Douglas, NECause of Death: Parkinson's DiseaseMedical Information: Suffered from Parkinson's disease, which began about 1935 as smalltremors. Progressed unabated to complete rigidity, as there were no drugs for Parkinson's atthe time.Occupation: Farmer

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

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

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

71

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

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

3. Marvin Maxwell7 French (Claude Smith6, James Gentry5, John Peter4, WilliamLewis3, Henry2, Unknown1) was born 6 Sep 1901 in Douglas, NE, and died 6 Jan 2002 in SanDiego Co., CA. He married Marie Jessie St. Andre 11 Aug 1926 in Waukegan, IL, daughterof Augustine St. Andre and Nora Lajoie. She was born 12 Oct 1906 in Ishpeming, MI, anddied 9 Sep 1999 in San Diego, CA.

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

73

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

74

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

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

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

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

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

Notes for Marie Jessie St. Andre:

75

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

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

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

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

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

AUTOBIOGRAPHY - Orland Dean French

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

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

Ok - here it comes:

LEARNING IN THE HORSE & BUGGY DAYS

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

79

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

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

Amenities and conveniences were scarce. There was no electricity. Watercame from a well near the entrance. Toilet facilities consisted of twoouthouses, one for girls in one corner of the campus and one for boys in anothercorner. Older pupils were assigned to arrive early in the cold seasons to clean theashes from the stove and to get the fire burning in the stove so there wouldbe some heat before classes began at 8 a.m. A water bucket was located on asmall stand in the rear and older boys were tasked to fill it from the wellpump. A long-handled dipper was provided in the bucket so that all could helpthemselves to a drink from that community dipper. Also, there was a small washbasin one could wash his/her hands in cold water dipped from the bucket.Towels were not provided.

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

80

being conducted by the teacher, and recitations by the pupils, which allowedpupils to monitor subjects of their own interest and to soak up the knowledgeregardless of the groupings.

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

The High School class of 1938 comprised 6 boys and 3 glrls. I graduated 3rd in class andearned letters in basketball, our only intramural sport. Summers during high school found medoing farm work at home or hired out to neighbors. After high school, I had a number or oddjobs - blacksmith’s helper, corn shucker, tractor operator, plumber’s & well-driller’s helper,combine operator, etc. At the end of summer 1939, I joined the Civilian Conservation Corpsand was stationed at Weeping Water, NE until I enlisted in the U. S. Coast Guard on August10, 1940.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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