| 13003 | Cher's mother, Georgia Holt, born Jackie Jean Crouch, was a show-business small-timer in Los Angeles, a sometime model and actress in commercials. Her biggest chance was being cast for a part in The Asphalt Jungle for a couple of weeks before another fringe performer named Marilyn Monroe took it away from her. Three times Holt married and divorced John Sarkesian, Cher's father, a compulsive gambler and later a heroin addict, although Cher did not meet him until she was eleven ("I hated him"). Between and after these marriages there were five others. Poverty, constant changes of address, a short stay in a Catholic nursing home for the needy were all part of Cher's childhood. Even a three-year burst of prosperity, when her mother wed a banking executive, seemed like just another form of instability.

| 13014 | Children Alexander and Susan are reported in Hanna's "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 42, as being William J. Gaston's children by his first wife. But Hanna also concurs with the 1803 and 1805 dates of William's first two marriages. Several months pregnant, Hannah died of convulsions brought on by news that the British were about to attack her town. Their three children stayed with William's sister Jane in Raleigh for the next three years. William Joseph Gaston and Hannah McClure were first cousins once removed, as he was the grandson of William Gaston (b. 1680 in Ireland) and she was the great-granddaughter of the same William Gaston. | MCCLURE, Hannah (I3395)

| 13020 | CHRISTA PALMER DEC 24, 1933 - JAN 13, 2008 Adams has lost a good friend and great cook. Christa Palmer was a beautiful woman, listener, problem solver, shoulder to cry on. She was a haven of comfort and kindness, from a warn bowl of her famous soup to a heartfelt hug. Christa Palmer known and loved by many, peacefully died of cancer early Sun. Jan.13, 2008 at 3:00 a.m. with family and close friends at her bedside at Villa Pines in Adams. She was blessed with children and grandchildren and one surviving brother in Germany. She leaves a legacy of bravery, honest hard work, compassion and trust. One of her battle cries, "Just Keep Plugging!" Christa was born in Eastern Bloc Prussia now part of Russia. She was a refugee during the war as oldest of four siblings. Secretly she helped many others and herself and family escape from behind the wall to Holland, then West Germany. Eventually Christa relocated to the United States. Christa married Royal Palmer in 1959. She worked as an experienced cook and kitchen manager for several area restaurants. She intensely loved her family, friends, good laughs and good food. Through the years Christa touched countless lives and hearts. She will be dearly missed.

| 13023 | Citing obituary and other sources, the West Virginia Veterans Memory Project at the State Archives reports Earl Stutler's burial at Stanley (aka Antioch) Cemetery, near Sherwood in Doddridge County. His death record states only that burial was at Sherwood, WV. But Ramage's book of Doddridge County cemeteries does not list him at Stanley Cemetery. Rather, Cochran's book of West Union cemeteries does list him as having a marker at Masonic Memorial Park Cemetery at Crystal Lake, near West Union. A search at findagrave.com confirmed that listing, complete with photograph. It thus appears that he was disinterred and reburied. The possibility cannot be discounted, however, that a memorial marker was placed for him with other family members at the Masonic cemetery, while his remains are still interred at Stanley Cemetery. Although his death record and newspaper accounts of his death give Earl Stutler's middle initial as "J", his headstone and the 1900 and 1910 censuses show it as "L". His birth record shows his full name to be Earl Layton Stutler. Nearly identical death records were filed for him in Ritchie and Wood counties, with yet a third much less informative record filed in Doddridge County. | STUTLER, Earl Layton (I67965)

| 13028 | Civil War records at the National Archives (fold3.com) show that Hiram Jennings hired a substitute to serve his military obligation. The substitute was a black man named Vincent Sandy of Co. G, 127th US Colored Infantry (Private). Vincent Sandy died in the Corps hospital at Point of Rocks, Virginia, on 5 Feb 1865. No cause of death listed. However, other records in his military file say that he died on Feb 9th or 10th, his cause of death given as pneumonia. Vincent Sandy's military service is recognized on Plaque D-133 at the African-American Civil War Memorial in Washington, DC. Just like another African-American Civil War veteran, George Revels of Doddridge County, Vincent Sandy's medal remains unclaimed at the West Virginia State Archives. Anyone proving descendancy or close relationship can claim it. He was age 22 in 1864 and born possibly in Stafford County, Virginia. Inscription on Vincent Sandy's Civil War medal: "45th USCT."

| 13029 | Civil War records on file at Doddridge County Court House show that W. E. Crichfield [sic] enlisted in the Union Army on Jan 3 1862. According to his grave marker, he was a member of Company M, 6th West Virginia Infantry, with rank of Private. His death occurred on Aug 10 1864 in Cumberland, MD, and was the result of falling from a window of a hospital building. Circumstances of his death are described somewhat differently in his military records on file at fold3.com and the National Archives, which state that he was killed when a hospital building was blown over by a storm and fell on him. He was buried in the Nutter Cemetery on the Maxwell Farm in Doddridge County. Location of the cemetery was specified as "4.0 miles west of Porto Rico on Route 23. Cemetery 400 ft. north of highway." This corresponds to oral family history provided by Walter Ray "Shiner" Husk, who advised that a headstone does exist for William, but not for his wife Malinda buried beside him. | CRITCHFIELD, William E. (I6518)

| 13030 | Civil War records on file at the Doddridge County Court House indicate that Josiah [sic] Hart enlisted in the Union Army on Dec 2 1861 and was discharged on Dec 1 1864, with the rank of Private. His unit was Company M, 6th Regiment, West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. His birth was reported as 1829 in Maryland, his death as Feb 14 1909 at Joy, Doddridge Co, and his burial at the Hart Cemetery on the Hart Farm in Joy. Cause of death: pneumonia. His residence was listed as Joy, and his next of kin as J. W. Hart (relationship not indicated), Oxford Route 1, WVa. | HART, Josiah Jr. (I318)

| 13031 | Civil War Service Records pertaining to James M. Nicholson state "Died June 15 1863, of disease at Convalescent Camp, Va. A paroled Prisoner of War. Was captured at Greenland Gap, W.Va., Apr 25 1863." (Note: Greenland Gap is in Hampshire County. Regimental history records state "Co. A and a company of the 23d Illinois Infantry fought and defeated a superior force under the Confederate Gen. Jones at Greenland Gap in April 1863, inflicting terrible punishment upon the enemy, who finally surrendered." Total casualties of the 14th W.Va. Infantry during the War included 88 killed or mortally wounded, and 157 who died of disease or accident.) Other records pertaining to James M. Nicholson show that he was at the Confederate prison camp in Richmond from May 4 to May 14 1863, when he was paroled presumably due to illness. He was sent to Washington DC on May 20 1863, and then to the Convalescent Camp near Alexandria, Va., on May 29 1863.) | NICHOLSON, James Madison (I33061)

| 13032 | Clair Bee was a renowned basketball coach who led the team at Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York to two undefeated seasons in 1936 and 1939 as well as two National Invitation Tournament titles (1939, 1941). Bee's teams won 95 percent of their games from 1931 to 1951, including 43 in a row from 1935 to 1937. He also coached the football team at LIU until it was disbanded in 1940. His career college coaching record of 412-87 gave him the highest winning percentage (.826) of any basketball coach in Division I history. At the professional level, he coached the National Basketball Association's Baltimore Bullets from 1952 to 1954. Clair Bee's contributions to the game of basketball include the 1-3-1 zone defense, the three-second rule, and the 24-second shot clock in the NBA. He also authored a series of sports manuals and the fictional Chip Hilton series of books for children. In 1968, he co-founded the Kutscher's Sports Academy. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1968. The Clair Bee Coach of the Year Award, created in 1996 by Coach Bobby Knight and Bee's daughter and husband, is awarded every year to a coach who makes an outstanding contribution to the game of college basketball, and the Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award is awarded to a men's basketball player. | BEE, Clair Francis (I52617)

| 13039 | Clarksburg Parks and Recreation Department officials remember former superintendent John Cooper Logan D. Cottrell STAFF WRITER Feb 12, 2025 CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) - City Parks of Clarksburg is mourning the passing of former Superintendent John Cooper, whose legacy spans more than four decades of service to the park system. Doug Comer, current City Parks of Clarksburg superintendent, reflected on Coopers impact. "It is a sad day for the Parks and Recreation Department," Comer said. "If you look at every park in this city, from the ones that generate revenue to the neighborhood parks, John Cooper has left his footprints on every piece of property the city parks have," Comer said. Kelley Davisson, vice president of the Clarksburg Board of Park Commissioners, shared her heartfelt sentiment about Cooper. "Theres not one person that has met John Cooper that didnt love John Cooper," she said. Davisson considered Cooper a personal friend. "Johns legacy with City Parks is 42 years of service," she said. "When I say 42 years of service, I mean 24/7. That man never took a day off. He always had his phone on him, even if he was on vacation." Davisson emphasized that everything within the Clarksburg park system reflects Coopers contributions. "He was very innovative," she said. John Angiulli, president of the Clarksburg Parks and Recreation Board of Directors, said hes known Cooper for 40 years. "Ive been part of the park system for 25 years," Angiulli said. "Johns footprint is in the Clarksburg City Parks everywhere you look. John Cooper was the superintendent when we built the new pool. John was also superintendent when we built the amphitheater and put AstroTurf on Frank Loria Memorial Field." Davisson said many people who worked for City Parks saw Cooper as a role model. Comer added that Coopers influence extended beyond the Clarksburg park system. "Johns a former president of the West Virginia Recreation and Parks Association," Comer said. "Hes been a part of that since the inception of the program itself." Comer noted that Clarksburgs parks would not have many of their current amenities without Coopers dedication, "because of his grant writing abilities and using that ability to find funding to help build things." The Clarksburg Amphitheater was particularly meaningful to Cooper, Comer said. "Just simply because its bringing tourism to the city and showing off the assets that he laid the foundation for," Comer said. "He was born in Clarksburg, played sports in Clarksburg, and he operated the parks he grew up on." Angiulli highlighted Coopers deep commitment to Clarksburgs parks. "He had a very caring heart for our parks system," Angiulli said. "He believed that our system was there to serve the citizens of Clarksburg." "You cant put a value on what he did for the parks system in Clarksburg," Comer added. Comer also credited Cooper for his own career path. "I wouldnt be in the position Im in today if I didnt have someone like John in my corner," Comer said. https://www.wvnews.com/news/wvnews/clarksburg-parks-and-recreation-department-officials-remember-former-superintendent-john-cooper/article_7c807b40-e985-11ef-a877-eb2de0a89c1a.html . | COOPER, John Homer "Coop" Jr. (I6158)

| 13040 | CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) -- H. Kelley "Bud" Flesher passed away on Sept. 24, 2024. Bud Flesher was born on Dec. 19, 1932 in Weston, West Virginia to Hubert J. Flesher and Mildred L. Kelley Flesher. He attended school and graduated from Washington Irving High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He had an appointment to West Point but chose instead to join the Air Force at the start of the Korean Conflict, He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on April 10, 1951, and after completing basic training at Sheppard AFB, Texas, he completed Radar Mechanic training at Keesler AFB, Mississippi, in April 1952. His first assignment was at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. During this assignment, he was accepted into the Aviation Cadet Program to do what he had always wanted to do- fly. He earned his commission as a 2nd Lt. and his pilot wings at Bryan AFB, Texas, on July 22, 1954, Class of 54N. Lt. Flesher next completed F-86 Sabre Combat Crew Training, and then served as an instructor pilot at Tyndall AFB, Florida, from March 1955 to February 1957. His next assignment was as a Flight Test Maintenance Officer at Tyndall AFB and then at Moody AFB, Georgia, choosing Flight Test to insure he was able to get maximum flying time when the need for flying officers was low. This was followed by an Air Force Institute of Technology assignment to Oklahoma State University, where he completed his bachelors degree in April 1962. Capt. Flesher then served in various positions at Stewart AFB, New York, and Selfridge AFB, Michigan. He qualified as an F-4 Phantom II pilot with the 78th Tactical Fighter Squadron at RAF Woodbridge, England, from March to October 1966, when he deployed to Southeast Asia. Captain Flesher served as an F-4 pilot with the 480th Tactical Fighter Squadron at DaNang AB, South Vietnam, from October 1966 until he was forced to eject over North Vietnam and was taken as a Prisoner of War on Dec. 2, 1966. After spending 2,271 days in captivity, he was released during Operation Homecoming on February 18, 1973. Lt. Col. Flesher then completed pilot re-qualification training at Randolph AFB, Texas, the Freedom Program, in which he was designated as "Freedom Zero One," the first pilot of all services to be requalified. His final flying assignment was in F-106 Delta Darts with the 84th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Castle AFB, CA, from March 1974 until his retirement from the Air Force on Sept. 1, 1976. His 1st (of 2) Silver Star Citation reads: "Captain Hubert K. Flesher distinguished himself by gallantry in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force over North Vietnam on 25 November 1966. On that date, on two separate missions, he conducted air to ground operations against a heavily defended surface to air missile convoy that had been discovered moving South toward the Demilitarized Zone. On the second mission of that day, Captain Fleshers aircraft was hit by hostile ground fire, but he continued to press multiple attacks until his ordnance was expended, then with complete disregard for his own safety and completely defenseless, Captain Flesher continued to make multiple dry passes against the defenses drawing enemy ground fire away from the other aircraft in his flight. This courageous and aggressive act against overwhelming odds resulted in the destruction of an important target. By his gallantry and devotion to duty Captain Flesher has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force." Bud married the love of his life, Pamela Duncan, in 1989. Together they bought a semiconductor company and grew it into a successful business. During this time, they enjoyed traveling all over the world, eating lobster and flying his 601P Aerostar, N57CB, with their beloved dogs and cats. He continued to read and study history, and encouraging any young person to consider his revered military as a career. Bud retired fully from business life in 2005 and he and Pamela settled at a private airport community outside of Fredericksburg, Texas. However, as a retired career military officer, he considered most places as TDY (temporary duty), so they also lived in Pensacola, FL where he served as a Docent at the National Naval Aviation Museum on NAS, Pensacola and in San Antonio, Texas. He continued to seek adventure and enjoy his retirement with Pamela and his pets. He is survived by his wife, Pamela Flesher; stepdaughter, Shannon Szonye and her wife Beatrix Szonye; niece, Shahn McGuire and her husband Dan OBryant; cousins, Don and Lisa Pethtel and their children D in West Virginia and Kaylee and her husband Clay Chipps in the Washington, D.C., area. Buds ashes will be mixed with his beloved pets and ultimately Pamelas, and scattered in their favorite places around the world.

Preparing, Writing and Acknowledging Deeds and Trust Deeds a Specialty. Grant House West Union, W. Va. From the obituary of Margaret Smithson Markey, "West Union Record," Jan 27 1916: "In 1879, Joseph Benson Markey and his wife, Margaret Elizabeth (Smithson) Markey, moved from Macksburg, Ohio, to West Union, where they began a retail business on the corner of Columbian and Pike streets, at the present (1916) location of the First National Bank building. The building was owned by W. H. Cheuvront." Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Jan 4 1917, in its entirety: "On January 1, Squire W. H. Cheuvront retired from the office of Justice of the Peace, a position which he has filled continuously for 44 years. The Squire has never aspired to greater political honors, yet had he been elected to the circuit judgeship, he would doubtless have proven the ablest jurist that has ever filled that position in this district, and men of far less legal ability have worn the ermine in the court of appeals. Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Jan 4 1917: "We are pleased to learn that Squire W. H. Cheuvront will continue in business at his office in the Grant House, making collections, preparing legal papers, and as counselor in Justices' court cases. He will also engage in the loan business, of which he will rather make a specialty. His card will appear in the Republican in the near future. In the 44 years that Squire Cheuvront served the public as Justice of the Peace, he passed on more than 7000 cases and his decisions were only reversed in seven." | CHEUVRONT, William H. (I86007)

| 13045 | Clifford C. Corder was best known as "Jack" Corder, farmer, teacher, soldier, patriot. Despite having four deferments, being an employed school teacher 36 years of age, operating a working farm, and having two sons, he volunteered for the WW II draft. He was drafted on March 23, 1944. He did his basic training at Camp Walter, Fort Worth, Texas. From there he was shipped overseas, disembarking at Le Havre, France. He then became engaged in the European Theater, the Rhineland, Germany, and as far east as the fighting took place. Although he talked very little about the war, he did say a few things. With regard to reaching the easternmost fighting, he said that he could hear the Russian guns shelling the Germans, and he saw the German people with bare belongings running west away from the hated and dreaded Russians. He also commented that whenever in a combat zone and a religious service was offered, it didn't matter whether it was a Rabbi, Priest or Chaplain... he would attend. Jack served in the 97th Combat Infantry Division of the 3rd Army as an ammunition handler and demolition specialist. Regarding his opinion of General George Patton, Jack considered him a "no good --- son-of-a-bitch." Jack's military citations: European Middle Eastern Service Ribbon, American Theater Service Ribbon, World War II Victory Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, Bronze Star, and Combat Infantryman Badge (his most cherished one). He received his "Ruptured Duck" (honorable discharge) on November 20, 1945, at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. In his retirement years, always a true patriot, he always flew in his front yard an American flag. | CORDER, Clifford Carroll "Jack" (I56721)
