GILLESPIE, Virginia ("Ginny") Rader

Virginia 'Ginny' Rader Gillespie (Mrs. Edward D.), age 96, passed from this life to the next on Tuesday, September 30, 2014 after sustaining a broken hip in a fall.
Ginny was born in Parkersburg, WV on July 24, 1918, the third of nine children. She always remembered her childhood as one filled with fun, companionship and love. In this atmosphere, she grew to become a very strong and independent woman, putting herself through secretarial school and when WWII broke out, joining the Women's Army Corps (WACs). This began what would become a life-long love affair with travel. While with the WACs she lived on the Ivory Coast of Africa, in London, in Paris and in Japan. While in Japan, she met the handsome and charming Lt. Ed Gillespie, who swept her off her feet. Their romance bloomed and when Ed was transferred back to the States, Ginny went back as well. They were married on September 17, 1949.
Their early family life was spent in the Air Force, where Ed rose to the rank of Colonel. Ginny loved military life and was an active in many base activities and organizations. Ed retired from the military in 1964 and went to work for Hughes Aircraft Company. His career there had the family on the move between California and Europe every couple of years, with stays in Belgium, Germany and Greece. During this time, Ginny indulged her love of travel and, in addition to family trips on the continent and to the Holy Lands, traveled on her own to Scandinavia, divided Berlin and communist Russia, among other places. During their later stays in Europe, Ginny rejoined the work force, working for the US Dept. of Defense in Germany and in Greece.
Upon retirement from Hughes Aircraft in 1979, Ed and Ginny moved back to Montgomery, where they bought a home on 10-acres where Ed could garden and raise bird dogs and horses. During this time, they traveled extensively in their Airstream trailer with the local Airstream club, something that they both enjoyed immensely. Ginny became active in several organizations and returned to playing bridge, which she dearly loved. She also began working for the Alabama legislature when it was in session. She loved being part of the working world and continued to work for the legislature until she was 85 years old.
After Ed's death in 2010, Ginny began traveling again � this time with her daughter Janet. They went on several adventures in Janet's truck camper but mostly they went on cruises. There were still a few parts of the world that Ginny hadn't seen but over the next two years she managed to cruise to most of them: Nova Scotia, the southern Caribbean, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Egypt, the Suez Canal, Dubai, the coast of India, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. And as much as she enjoyed the traveling, she enjoyed dressing up for dinner � always in the formal dining room � and taking part in the onboard entertainment even more, often closing out the bar when a good band was playing.
Her last trip was this past summer, when she went to Santa Fe, NM to be near her granddaughter Jenny and her first great-grandchild Raphael. While she enjoyed the New Mexico weather and the scenery, she truly delighted in spending time with Raphael and always asked "Where is that baby boy?" whenever he wasn't around. It was a wonderful way to close out her life.
Ginny is survived by her son Edward D. Gillespie, Jr. of Pike Road, AL, her daughter Janet D. Gillespie of Austin, TX, her grandson Tristan Gillespie Rhodes and his wife Amanda Winkles of San Marcos, TX, her granddaughter Jennifer Gillespie Rhodes, her husband Michael Shedler and great-grandson Raphael Rhodes Shedler all of New York City, NY, her sister Velda Sangalis and her husband Dean Sangalis of Merrilville, IN, her sister Veda Shank of Washington, WV, her sister-in-law Marguerite Meadows and her husband Dudley Meadows of Chattanooga, TN, her brother-in-law John F. Gillespie of Savannah, GA and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral arrangements are being made through Gallant Funeral Home, Fayetteville, TN. A funeral service will be held at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Petersburg, TN at 12:30 PM on Saturday, October 18th followed by burial in the Old Orchard Cemetery in Petersburg, next to her beloved husband Ed. Condolences may be sent to 814 St. James Place, Pike Road, AL 36064.

Theo Harris died last Friday
Pittsburg (Tenn.) News
On the 14th of April, 1922, Theo. F. Harris, Esq. 78 years old, a prominent citizen of Lincoln County, died at his home near Petersburg of pneumonia. While his health had been feeble for some time he was sick only a few days before his death, therefore it was a surprise and shock to his many friends.

A. and was a good and brave soldier in active service until severely wounded in the shoulder at Rasacea, Georgia, that disabled him for further service. While convalescing at his father's home in Montevalle, Ala., he met and married Miss Mollie C. Harris in 1864, they have lived happily together all their fifty eight years and reared a family, five sons and one daughter: three sons, Phillip, Gus, of Columbia, Ms., and Ulver and the daughter, Mrs. Frank Fowler, with his wife, survive him. At the time of his death he was and had been for about twenty years, Magistrate of the 11th Civil District of Lincoln County, and as a member of the County Court, he was ever mindful of the best interests of the county. He was President of the 8th Tennessee and Consolidated Regiments Confederate Veterans since 1916 and was First Vice President of Shackelford and Fulton Bivouac and Camp 114, Confederate Veterans. His Funeral was preached at his beautiful country home by his lide-long friend, comrade and brother in the church, Elder T. C. Little. He was a member of the Christian church for nearly fifty years, and was one of the original members of the Friendship congregation near Blakeville. In politics, he was a Democrat.
Theo. F. Harris was polite, affable and genteel; a true and devoted husband, a kind and patient father; a true friend and good citizen; the county will miss him. Peace be to his ashes. The News extends sympathy.

HART, Benjamin Franklin 

Gospel preacher.

Sketch Of The Life Of B.F. Hart (1849-1941)

To write about self sounds like blowing your own horn, but as requested I will try to do so. My parents were Samuel and Emily Motlow Hart. I was born January 16, 1849, in Marshall County, near Petersburg, Tenn., and have lived all my life on a farm in that same community. My father died when I was three years old, leaving mother with five children and a debt of seven hundred dollars. Be it said to her honor, she reared the children and paid the debt before her death. As to my education, I went to school very little. I hated the schoolboy declamation part of school, and have not gotten over that yet. I was too stupid to realize the value of a school until the Civil War came and broke up the school. After the war, there was work to do. I did go to the T. B. Larimore School, at Mars Hill, Ala., one term and learned the best lesson of my life. That lesson was, if I preached the Book, I must study and learn it for myself. I obeyed the gospel at the age of seventeen, knowing but little about the Bible; but when those old brethren said, �We take the Bible wholly and solely as the man of our counsel,� that appealed to me then and still appeals to me. I preached my first sermon in September, 1872, at old Cane Creek. I cannot tell how awkward I was nor how many mistakes I made, but the brethren were kind and encouraged me to go on. I have had but few additions since. Most of my preaching has been to the church and nearly all in my own community. I am glad now this is true, since I have lived to see the church grow from three congregations to eleven within the radius of ten miles of my home, and I know my people and they know me. I have the distinction of baptizing eight old people over eighty years of age, one man ninety-three years of age. I have no idea how many funerals I have conducted nor how many marriage ceremonies I have performed. I am thankful to my Maker that, though nearing ninety-one years, I am still able to drive my own car and go and preach. I have been a reader of the Gospel Advocate since 1872.�-Gospel Advocate, January 4, 1940, p. 17.

A tribute to Mrs. C. P. Marsh, 1897-1980, was written by Mrs. McRae White, president of the Petersburg Garden Club, and read at the February meeting held in the Elk Valley Bank at Petsrsburg

It was "The Petersburg Garden Club has lost a valuable member and dear friend. Mrs. Lillian was an artist. Her medium was flowers. Her unerring sense of color harmony and her meticulous care in placement of material won for her a remarkable number of blue ribbons and tri-colors in both council and in fairs. Miss Lillian was both a challenge and and an inspiration to us - a challenge because of her uncompromisingly high standards of excellence that accepted nothing less than perfection and she was able to achieve: an inspiration by her unfailing willingness to help all of us grow in ability and appreciation of the fine arts of gardening and flower arranging. We shall miss her deeply and sincerely, but her legacy of strength, purpose, and achievement is ours forever."

Cheery, a former pastor and close friends of many years standing. Eld. R. A. Largen, a former student, paid a touching and sincere tribute to Professor Morgan on behalf of the student body and alumni.

PROSSER, James E.,
IN MEMORY OF J. E. PROSSER
On July 12, 1934, our brother. J. E. Prosser was called by death, Being almost seventy five years old, the church at Petersburg, Tenn., where he worshiped has sustained a great loss. He always took an active part in the service always occupying the front seat and it will be difficult to get reconciled to his absence from this place.
Brother Jimmie was always pleasant and congenial. Be was a man of a great deal of energy and vitality. Whatever he did he did it with all his might.
He was a public spirited man and was always interested in any movement for the good of the community in which he lived. Had great courage and conviction for what he thought to be right. He leaves a wife who helped him fight life's battles for more than fifty years; also one son and two daughters; one sister and three brothers.
For more than sixty year he and his three brothers have lived close to
each other without one being taken by death, seemingly a long time for
four brothers to be permitted to be together; but when the separation
comes and the remaining ones look back over !heir sojourn it seems unto us but a few days for the love we had him. The only solid comfort
I find is to look forward to the any, of reunion in that clime where death and sorrow never come. The only fears I have are will I be ready for that great day. - J. J. Prosser, W. A. Prosser, Mrs W. M. Richardson

SULLIVAN, Alene

Sullivan, Sarah Alene Archer - January 4, 1988
Elk Valley Times, Wednesday, January 6, 1988, p. 2A, c3
Mrs. Sarah Alene Archer Sullivan, 85, of Petersburg died Monday in Lincoln Skilled Care Center after a long illness.
The service was Tuesday at the Petersburg Chapel of Ralston-McCauley Funeral Home, with the Rev. Tom Porter officiating. Burial was in Old Orchard Cemetery beside her late husband, Homer Sullivan.
A native of Marshall County, she was a daughter of the late Charles and Viola Lyons Archer and a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Jannie S. Hale and Mrs. Charline S. Smith, both of Bossier City, La.; a sister, Mrs. Christine Davis of the Red Oak community; two brothers, Hatton Archer of Lewisburg and Fred Archer of Cornersville; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

SULLIVAN, (Pvt) Berry

I was told the Sullivans left North Carolina, heading west. And Lincoln Co., TN was as �west� as they got. Certain of the family were known to have been in Wilson Co., TN prior to their appearance in Lincoln.
Berry is the father of John Henry �Gramp� Sullivan. Other children included Robert Beauregard Sullivan, Lucy Ann Dunn, and Martha �Mattie� E. Dunn.
He was a Private in the Civil War, a member of Company A, 41st Regiment, Tennessee Infantry, CSA out of Petersburg.
He came home to LCT before the war was over, having left some sort of medical area in Mississippi. In LCT, he was compelled to swear his allegiance to the U.S. His Civil War pension application is on file.
Berry was a farm laborer and later operated a toll road in the Petersburg area.
Of Berry, there is a LOT of misinformation being shared or, at best, information with no substantiation.
It is said he is the son of Cornelius Sullivan, but I�ve yet to see an ounce of PROOF.
The Sullivan clan in LCT is doubtless interrelated, but the Cornelius angle needs documentation. Indeed, a division of property in the Deed Office in Lincoln Co. does NOT list Berry among the surviving children of Cornelius or the siblings of Cornelius� children.
This despite the fact that Berry was, at the time and for decades after, alive and well and living in Lincoln Co.
Also, per Cornelius� will, which left his children heirs, but NOT BY NAME, Berry would have been equal in all shares to his purported siblings, unless some prior bequest had been made.
Interestingly, Berry and Emeline do NOT show in the 1850 LCT census, though they were married there in 1849 and appear in every LCT census afterwards.
In a similar issue, Berry is sometimes referred to as �Berry NEWTON Sullivan,� but no documentation supports this. The Newton Sullivan listed as a son of Cornelius in the �Goodspeed History of Lincoln County, Tennessee� is another person, entirely.
In yet another related issue, Berry is referred to as Benjamin with �Berry� as his nickname. That is from a transcription�looking at the original record appears that there is a stray mark after �Berry,� rather than a period after �Benj.� No other records found, from census to family Bibles, identify him as �Benjamin.� Despite that, the name is widely dispersed.
An Emeline does show in the family of a John (or was it Joseph?) Sullivan in the 1850 LCT Census. It has been said this Emeline was his daughter, but is it POSSIBLE that she was his daughter-in-LAW, and was Berry�s wife?
Neither obits nor death certificates have been found for Berry or Emeline, who lived their latter years in Petersburg and are said to have died there.
Their tombstones are in that town and my grandmother called him �Grandpa Petersburg.�
That seems to settle it.

SULLIVAN, Billy M

Billy M "Bill" Sullivan was born May 1, 1941, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, the son of James William Sullivan and Alice Pauline (Ramsey) Sullivan.
He was married on March 17, 1962 in Lincoln County to Ruby Watkins, the daughter of Fred Watkins and Francis (Ketchum) Watkins.
A retired foreman from Eaton Corporation and an avid sports fan, he enjoyed fishing and loved his family. He was also a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Petersburg.
Bill was 70 years old and living in Shelbyville when he passed away on January 4, 2012, at Middle Tennessee Medical Center in Murfreesboro.
Preceded in death by his son Ty Sullivan, he is survived by his wife; a married daughter; and four grandchildren.
Funeral Services were held at Feldhaus Memorial Chapel, and burial was in Old Orchard Cemetery in Petersburg.

SULLIVAN,  Emeline ,

Emeline was the daughter of John Marr and Sarah "Sally" Bradley. Part of that was via deduction, but there is a Bible record listing John as a great-grandfather, whereas Emeline is the granny.
Moreover, next to Emeline in this cemetery is Elizabeth Marr Armstrong, John and Sarah "Sally"[Bradley] Marr's daughter. The parents were originally from the Raleigh, NC area, but the siblings were apparently all born in Middle Tennessee.
The first name Cynthia shows up in certain LCT property records where she and Berry were mentioned together.
