Descendants of John High Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 HIGH1 died 31 Jul 1823 in Ruscomb Manor, Berks Co., PA1. Notes for JOHN HIGH: From "Historical and Biographical Annals of Berks County, Pennsylvania" by Morton L. Montgomery: Early in 1717, Rudolph and Mechior Hoch, Moravians, left their home in Switzerland for America on account of religious persecution. Tradition says that they were without much money when they landed. These two were the ancestors of all of the name in Berks and surrounding territory. The first spelling was "Hoy", the final H being added later. Some members of the family preferred the spelling "High" to "Hoch", and as early as 1744, Samuel, a grandson of Rudolph, spelled his name "High". After wandering about for some time, Rudolph settled near what is now Pottsgrove, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Melchior settled in Bucks County, all of the same name now in Bucks County being descended from his two sons, Phillip and Jacob. In 1725 Rudolph removed to Oley to a farm of some 300 acres, two miles north of Friedensburgh, the land still being in possession of the Hochs. In 1728, he laid out a burial place, some 80 feet square, and here he and seven generations are buried. Several interesting relics of the two immigrants are still preserved by the family. A large German Bible is owned by Gideon A. D. Hoch. Books brought over from the sea are still at the Hoch Farm. There is also a very small, ornamental, open faced watch, which though 266 years old, is still in excellent condition and keeps perfect time. Phillip D. Hoch has a piece of petrified wood brought over by Rudolph and used as a whet stone, one of it's principal uses to sharpen razors. Rudolph was married when he came to American; and, his son John was born in Switzerland. His wife died in 1728; and, was the first to be buried in the family cemetery. He died in 1748. His sons numbered five, among them being John and Samuel. Children of JOHN HIGH are: 2. i.

Generation No. 2 2. BENJAMIN2 HIGH (JOHN1)1 was born 26 Sep 1781 in Vincent, Chester, Pennsylvania2, and died 25 Mar 1852 in Harrison County, West Virginia3. He married ELIZABETH GREEN 08 Sep 1804 in Pennsylvania4. She was born 26 Oct 1783 in Charlestown, Chester, Pennsylvania5, and died 07 Dec 1858 in Elk Creek, Harrison, Virginia5. Notes for BENJAMIN HIGH: Benjamin and Elizabeth Green High came to what is now known as Harrison County, West Virginia in 1821 from Chester County, Pennsylvania. They were pioneers in that section and spent the rest of their years there. Page 810 of the "History of Charleston and Kanawha County" by W.S. Laidley states that they had six sons; but none are named, other than Edmund/Edwin High. Both husband and wife are buried at Greene Hill Cemetery, Birds Run, Harrison County, West Virginia. Part of this cemetery was moved to the top of the hill, part has been moved to the new church on the new road built to replace the old road, and part is in the woods near the new highway. From A High Genealogy copied from the Old Account Book of Benjamin High by Elizabeth High Metheny in 1893 during a visit to his old home in Harrison County: Benjamin and Elizabeth High moved from Chester County, PA to Harrison County, VA (now WV) when James was 8 years old. James went to Charleston at the age of 21. All the brothers except Elhannon went to Kanawha County. After James married Caroline Skidmore, they moved to Putnam County in 1844 when Elizabeth was an infant. There he bought a mill on the Pocatiglio River, and engaged in milling, boat building, lumbering and carding. In December 1860 they moved two miles distant to a farm in Flatwoods, Kanawha County of 800 acres, where they lived until James died in 1892. His wife, Caroline, continued to live there with her son Benjamin until she died in 1895. The home was located near Romine's Mills.

I have not yet discovered the name of his wife or any children they may have had. He was a painter by trade. He is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery. vi. LENA WHITTAKER88, b. 08 Sep 1871, Charleston, Kanawha, WV88; d. Abt. 1929, Charleston, Kanawha, VA89. Notes for LENA WHITTAKER: Information has been give by Sylvia Whittaker of Fairview, WV, that Lena married one Fred Isley; however, when she died and her estate was settled, she was designated as "Lena Whittaker, deceased". Also, when she bought the grave in which Burlew was interred at Spring Hill in 1924, she was listed on the deed as "Lena Whittaker". Information that Lena had lived in Ohio was first forthcoming from Probate Records of her mother's death. In fact, in the 1900 Census she was living in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. She was listed as having been divorced and having one child born of which one child lived. However, the child does not appear in the census with her. She was named in her brother, Burlew Whittaker's, obituary of 1924 as Lena Bernie, living in Columbus Ohio. She does not appear either under the name of Bernie or the name of Whittaker in the 1920 or 1930 Census of Columbus, Ohio. vii. BURLEW WHITTAKER90, b. 08 Oct 1875, Charleston, Kanawha, WV91; d. 17 Sep 1924, Charleston, Kanawha, WV92; m. DELILAH KIDD93, 05 Jul 1905, Charleston, Kanawha, VA93; b. Bet. Jun 1890 - 1892, Charleston, Kanawha, WV94. Notes for BURLEW WHITTAKER: Remembrances of Dolores Burlew was my Mom's favorite uncle. She mentioned him quite a bit. I think he may have traveled around, because, in order for her to be so familiar with him, He would have had to visit Benjamin, Neva and the kids both in Benwood and Cincinnati. A warrant was issued for his arrest in 1911 for misdemeanor trespass on a Rail Road Train (Kanawha County Court Case No. 1911-3. There was a complaint of felony larceny brought against him as well in the same year (Kanawha County Court Case No. 1911-11). Burlew married Delilah Kidd in 1905, when he was 29 years old; and, she was only 15, according to the Marriage Record. However her birth date in 1900 US Census is given as June 1892, which actually would have made her really 13 years old at the time they married. There is no trace of what happened in this marriage. There is no record of any children born to Burlew and Delilah. By the time of the 1910 Census she was back living at home again. During the World War I Draft, in 1918, Burlew registered; and, showed that he was working in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He put his mother's address, 209 Tennessee Avenue, Charleston, West Virginia as his permanent address, though. His death certificate which was issued in Kanawha County, No. 11009, states that he was a steamboat and iron worker. When Burlew died in 1924, just a few weeks after my Grandfather, Benjamin Whittaker, his brother, the death record stated that he was single. Lena Whittaker, his sister, bought the plot in Spring Hill Cemetery where he is buried. I bought the head stone 81 years later, as well as the one for my Grandfather, Benjamin. Both Burlew and Benjamin died of pneumonia. Charleston Daily Mail, 17 Sep 1924, Page 11: BURLEW WHITTAKER Burlew Whittaker, 48 years of age, died at the home of his mother, Mrs. Virginia Whittaker, 209 Tennessee Avenue, last night. He is survived by his mother, three brothers; William, John, and Albert Whittaker, all of Charleston, and one sister Mrs. Lena Bernie of Columbus, Ohio. Funeral services will be held from the home tomorrow afternoon at 3 O'clock. Burial will be made in the Spring Hill Cemetery. Notes for DELILAH KIDD: Delilah appears to have been named after her grandmother, Delilah Kidd, who was living with another of her sons, Willie S. Kidd, in the 1900 US Census of Charleston WV.

BENJAMIN E.5 WHITTAKER (VIRGINIA F.4 HIGH, JOHN PRICE3, BENJAMIN2, JOHN1)143 was born 25 Nov 1865 in Charleston, Kanawha, WV144, and died 07 Aug 1924 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH145. He married NEVA PORTER146 12 May 1890 in Charleston, Kanawha, WV147, daughter of JOHN PORTER and MARY (?). She was born 04 Jul 1872 in Kentucky148, and died 04 Feb 1926 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH149. Notes for BENJAMIN E. WHITTAKER: I never knew my grandfather, Benjamin Whittaker, face to face; but, my mom's tales of him made him seem bigger than life. He was a tall, husky man, with prematurely gray hair. It was he who was the disciplinarian of the family; especially doling out justice to my mother's twin brothers, John and Lawrence, who, according to her were the hellions of the family. They were strapped by Ben for such deeds as throwing their twin sisters in the Ohio River and telling them "Swim or Drown!", pushing my mom off of the hay loft into a pile of hay so she hit so hard that her front tooth came out in her knee; and, many other such things. Ben was also the hard worker of the family, working in the foundry as a fireman, working on construction projects, piloting boats on the river, and even painting houses in order to support his family. Benjamin was the one who gave the nickname "Neva" to my grandmother; and, it was given to her so well that it is the name which appears in all of her documentation; even on her tombstone. Benjamin died in 1924 of pneumonia. His body was shipped to Charleston, West Virginia to be buried at Spring Hill Cemetery. I don't think that my mother ever went to the funeral or burial, both of which were held in Charleston. She never mentioned where he was buried, if she even knew. I tend to think she did not know because when I found his resting place, I also found that he was in an unmarked grave. My mother would never have let that stand, no way! So, I took care of it for her and got him a simple head stone, along with his brother, Burlew, and mother, Virginia, who also were in unmarked graves at Spring Hill. I have since found his obituary in the Charleston Daily Mail of 09 Aug 1924, page 2: BEN WHITTAKER Funeral services for Ben Whittaker, who died at the St. Francis Hospital in Cincinnati, were held this afternoon at 4 O'clock at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Virginia Whittaker, 209 Tennessee Avenue. Burial was made in the Spring Hill Cemetery. Mr. Whittaker is survived by his widow, his mother, five children, and five brothers. I can say, with authority, that two pieces of information given in the above obituary were false. The first fact is that he had six still living children, not five. The second fact is that he was survived by four brothers; William W. Whittaker, John T. Whittaker, Albert T. Whittaker, and Burlew Whittaker, who died himself less than six weeks later. He had a surviving sister, Lena Whittaker Bernie, as well. Notes for NEVA PORTER: THE GRANITE BRICK WALL PORTERS My maternal Grandmother, Geneva Porter, has turned out to be the greatest brick wall of my life. I never knew her because she died twenty years before I was born. Thank God, I did ask some questions of my mother about her; although, back then, I didn't really know what questions to ask. Today, more than eighty years after she died, she is still a big question to me. I wish with all my heart that I had known her. I was so upset that I didn't have but one grandparent when I was a kid that I asked my cousins' grandmother, Anna Zimmers, if she would be my Grandma, too. And she was the only Grandma I ever knew. Where to start with Geneva? Her name. First, my mother was adamant that her real name was "Geneva". Mom said that her nickname was "Neva". This was a name which Benjamin Whittaker, Neva's husband, called her. Most all of her existing documentation lists her as either "Neva Porter" or "Neva Whittaker". Even her grave marker and her death certificate list her first name as "Neva". There is only one place that her name is noted differently. That is on the 1910 US Census of Benwood, Marshall County, West Virginia. Here her name is stated to be "Amelia". I believe this to be a mistake because a) this name appears no where else b) it cannot be another wife because Benjamin and Neva were married in 1890 and I have the marriage record, and c) I have tried to uncover any record of her under the name of Amelia Porter and no one matches her other qualifications such as age, parents, and birth place. Birth Place is the other sticky wicket. She supposedly was born 04 Jul 1872 "somewhere" in Kentucky to John and Mary Porter. So, somewhere in the big state of Kentucky, with a common last name like Porter, was born my Grandmother, Geneva. Try to prove that. Kentucky has had more court house fires than I have seen in any other state, in a myriad of different years, all of which encompass the time my Grandmother Neva was born. Neither she nor her family show up any- where in the censuses of 1880 in Kentucky. This was the only census where you were going to catch her because by 1890 she had already married my Grandfather, Benjamin Whittaker. I am not even sure of this birth year because of the different ages she has been reported to be in her documentation. I believe it is just the year I am concerned with.....who would forget a birthday like July the 4th? It seems to be off just a year or two at times. So, say we are talking about a birthdate of 04 Jul 1871-1873. This was a very bad time for record keeping in Kentucky. Birth parents are not written in stone either. I tend to hang on to the names John and Mary Porter, though, because this was the information, although still tentative, that her sons gave both, on her death certificate and on her interment record at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio. I also must remember that she had a son named John and a daughter named Mary. I would think that if she had named them after her parents, she may have stated this fact to them or to the other children. For that matter, though, none of the names which she named her children match any names in the Whittaker family. I have tried looking for these names in the Porter families of Kentucky to no avail. If, however, the sons were wrong about the names of her parents, I do have one candidate which could be her in the 1880 US Census of Riverside, Hamilton County, Ohio. There was one Geneva Porter aged 6 (could have been born in 1873) whose parents were William H. Porter b. Kentucky and America Porter b. Massachusetts, with brothers Decatur, Nevada, and Americus. This census states that the children were born in Ohio, however I know just how messed up the census takers can be on this question. When my mother's sister, Ethel Whittaker Bastian, died last year at 96 years of age, on her death certificate it states that she was born in Green River, Kentucky. I thought I had hit pay dirt; and that this would be the connection I was looking for.....that Neva had gone home to have her baby in 1909. This turned out to be one of the biggest wild goose chases involving Neva yet. It turns out that there is no town called "Green River" in Kentucky. There is just a river named "Green River" in Kentucky. I followed it around on the map of Kentucky and it meanders like a snake across over half the state of Kentucky. So, even if she was born on a boat traveling on the Green River, which is not out of the question because the family had been know to live on boats which my Grandfather worked on, then Ethel could have also been born "anywhere" in Kentucky! The apple does not fall too far from the tree. It was a big let down for this reason. However, I was soon to find the present hidden within the death certificate from my Aunt Ethel. That was her son, Paul Ervin, whom I did not know where he might be. He was listed right on the death certificate as the supplier of the information, living in Wisconsin. I got his telephone number and immediately called him. I am so happy that at least we have found each other again. The sad thing is, that Paul does not know any more than I do about this puzzle; and, now there is no one left alive to ask. I have gotten all of the Social Security Applications of my mother's siblings just to see what they had put for the names of their parents.....all state Benjamin Whittaker and Neva Porter. All of these children were born between 1904 and 1912. I have also tracked down all other documents upon which they may have stated where their mother was born. Each of them put something different! The following answers were given: Kentucky, Gallipolis Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia! I have made it a project to study all of the main Porter families of Kentucky to see if I could place her somewhere within any of them. So far, I have not been able to do so. I am also now studying the Porter family from the Riverside, Hamilton County, Ohio Census mentioned above. So far, they seem to be rather murky, too. I also checked out all of the answers given for the birthplaces of Neva referenced above with no cigar. I am not giving up on Grandma Neva for anything! However, I think it is at a place, where only the help of Neva herself will suffice. So, I am waiting for that help.

Notes for MAY ADA WHITTAKER: Remembrances of Dolores My Mother was a very friendly personality and very easy to talk to. All of the kids in the neighborhood and my friends wanted to hang out with my Mom because she would sit and play cards & board games with them, tell them jokes & generally treat them as equals. She always treated me the same way; and, I felt that I could tell her anything. She had my Dad totally figured out. If I couldn't get what I wanted from him, believe me, she knew how to get it. They were totally cute together. He used to take her out every Friday evening for dinner & I got to go along, too. She took forever to get ready...I mean FOREVER! But; my Dad knew how to deal with her, too. He would start calling her up after lunch and start urging her to get ready. Somehow, by the time he got home around 5:00 pm, she always still had a thing or two left to do to be totally ready. When I look back on it now....I realize what an unbounded patience he had, because in all the years that this ritual took place, he never once lost his temper; and, we would go out to a good dinner at some place that they really liked and enjoy it. This is a tradition that I have kept up with my children; and, I still thoroughly enjoy it. She was artistic. She liked to draw, write songs and play musical instruments, which she could pick up & actually start to play after fooling around with them for a half an hour or so. She liked to invent designs for jewelry. You could see that West Virginianess in her too, although she rarely talked about the place. She once helped my daughter, Michelle, put together a Terrarium for the heck of it. Michelle liked to catch the little lizards and things that lived around the yard; and, wanted to keep them. My Mom taught her how to make a home for them; and, how to catch flies in midair with a dishtowel to stun them, so they could be fed to the lizards alive. Michelle just thought that was the most! My mom never liked her real first name, May Ada, I guess; because when she was about 15 years old, after both her parents died, she re-invented herself as "Jean". She did such a good job of it that even her brothers and sisters called her "Jean"; and, that is the name that my Dad always called her. I thought this was a great idea; and, since I didn't like the name Dolores as much as she did.....I did the same thing when I was about 14; and, started to call myself "Dee". I learned from her how to do it and have used that name ever since. My mom was the kind of mother who went to the P.T.A. meetings and all of the rest of it. She taught me the alphabet & how to write my name before I went to school. She took me to Kindergarten before it was a required thing, like now. My mother, having grown up basically on her own, never threw anything away. She wouldn't even throw away old clothes...she would remove the buttons & zippers and either use what was left as a pattern to make another one, if she really liked it, or use it for a dust cloth until it was definitely used up. If you ever needed a button, zipper, screw, nut, bolt or anything she not only had it, but, amazingly, knew right where it was. When my Mom died, at 67, I knew I had lost the one person who was always in my corner, no matter what. The night she died, I saw her in a dream & she was young & beautiful & looked to be about 35 years old. She asked me, in the dream if I was coming with her, to which I replied in the negative; and she then faded in the distance. But, the dream was great because it helped me to remember her as the vibrant person that she always was in life. I knew it was a gift from her in parting, until we meet again. Notes for HUBERT M. GRABO: Remembrances of Dolores My mother told me that she married Herb when she was 21 year of age, being ignorant of his alcohol abuse. She lived with him for several years at 2333 Flora Street, about a block away from where my father lived at 2223 Flora Street. Sometime around April 1939, when Herb was on one of his binges, he was hit by a car which broke his leg. Mom decided that this was the opportune time to leave as he would not be able to follow her with his leg in a cast. This fact was what his charge of divorce was based upon; and, it was granted for desertion. There were no children born of this marriage. According to his death record he was married at the time he died in 1967. He was listed in the Williams City Directory of 1935, while he was still married to my mom as being a letter carrier for the Post Office. At that time, they were living at 311 Warner Street. More About HUBERT GRABO and MAY WHITTAKER: Marriage: 25 May 1933, Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio161 Notes for EDWARD RICHARD CHRISTOPHER: Remembrances of Dolores My Father was the best man I ever knew in my life. Whenever you needed him, he was always there. When my Mom was sick, he would get me up in the morning, make my breakfast, drive me to school, go to work, come home & cook dinner, go grocery shopping & do the dishes. This was not a once in a while thing....it went on for years & years, as my Mom was not well a lot of the time. My Dad never even complained once....not once. When I was real small, my Dad started taking me to the movies every Saturday. This was when they had big theatres with double features and 25-50 cartoons. The place would be jam packed with screaming kids. This wasn't once in a while, once a month; but, every week, for years. The movies were mostly Cowboys & Indians. Early on, I was for the underdog & kept asking him why the Indians never won. He even laughed when I called him "Chief Iron Hand". I came up with that one because I was always getting in trouble for never hearing my parents call for me while I was out playing. When I would come to the door, I would always try to slide by him to escape the one swat that was waiting for me as my little behind passed by. He taught me how to fish fresh water & salt water; and go crabbing. He taught me to be strong and that I could take care of myself in any situation. My Aunt Virginia, his youngest sister, told me that when they were young, they always had to contribute something to the household and when they were young & didn't work, they both had to team up and do the dishes. She would wash and my Dad would dry. The funny thing was, on certain occasions, he would say "I think I hear my friend, Schlicter, calling me....wait a minute." Out the back door he would go & not come back. She would get stuck doing the drying, too. When she would get mad about it the next day, he would laugh. What was even funnier, was that I basically did the same thing to him when I was a teenager. I would run out the back door sometimes, when I was supposed to dry dishes & stay gone for a couple of hours. I could never understand why he never said or did anything about it. He must have figured that I came by it honestly. I feel his loss more keenly than any other loss in my life....ever.

Notes for MARY IDA WHITTAKER: Remembrances of Dolores I only ever saw Mary, my mother's twin sister, one time. I was maybe 3 years old; and we were living in Cincinnati for a while, having gone back up there after the Florida hurricane of 1947. We did not return to Florida until about 1951, when I was 5 years old. Anyway, my mom took me out to the hospital where Mary was to see her. She had tuberculosis. The picture of her, which is in my Mom's scrapbook was taken that day at the hospital. We were not back in Florida long....we had just moved into the house at 770 East 8th Street in Hialeah, when we found out that Mary had died. Mom was heartbroken; and, I remember her saying that she had not even turned 40 yet when she died. We moved into that house in 1951; and, I am sure that is the year that she died...her 40th birthday would have been April 28, 1952. iii. JOHN WHITTAKER, b. 17 Aug 1904, Benwood, Marshall, WV; d. 15 Jul 1971, Anderson, Clermont, OH163; m. (1) IDA BELLE, Abt. 1925; m. (2) DAISY, 1960, Hialeah, Dade, FL. Notes for JOHN WHITTAKER: Remembrances of Dolores I have no really good or even fair pictures of John. But I can see him in my mind, like it was yesterday. He was about 5ft. 10 inches tall; and was prematurely white haired & partially bald. He was of medium build. The whole time I knew him, he was an alcoholic. He drank every day. He did like to go fishing & crabbing. He was a hard worker. He worked in a laundry & dry cleaners & that's where he met his second wife, Daisy, as she worked there , too. He was living in Hialeah at the time. We lived there as well; and, this is how I got to know John. Before he met & married Daisy, he was living at our house. They got married when I was 14, so that was about 1960. A few years later, he got really sick with the alcohol problem. It was almost impossible to get him any real treatment here in Florida. My mother and father called Lawrence, his twin brother, who was still living in Cincinnati, and he arranged for John to receive treatment up there. So, my Mom & Dad took John to the airport and put him on a plane to Cincinnati where Lawrence met him & took him to the hospital. We used to hear about him from time to time....only that he was doing well. Then one day in 1971 we got a phone call that he had died of a stroke. I remember the stories my mom used to tell about her brothers, who apparently were real live hellions when they were young. She said one day her mother told her brothers to take her and her twin sister to the water and teach them to swim as they lived near the Ohio River. I'm sure this happened in Wheeling because they lived on Water Street there. Anyway, Mom said that they took them to the river, threw them in, and then said "Swim or Drown!". Fortunately they both learned to swim that day. John is buried at the Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Untion Township, Clermont County, Ohio, Section 2-S, Row 23, Grave 7.

Notes for LAWRENCE WHITTAKER: Remembrances of Dolores My mom's brother, Lawrence, was a very likeable guy. Whenever we were in Cincinnati, we would visit with him a lot. He was a tall and good looking man, with wavy hair and a strong jaw and pleasant features. He operated a horse riding stable way out on a country road, which I much later found out from my cousin, Dick Zimmers was on Elstun Road. I remember when I was a little kid visiting there that he still had an out house! I remember this well, because being unaccustomed to those things, I was downright scared to go in there. Another of Mom's stories about the twin brothers, was that one day they were playing in the barn where they were living; and, they all were up in the hay loft. The boys were jumping from the loft down into a pile of hay. Mom got curious and was looking over the edge of the loft when one of them (she never saw which one) pushed her off. When she landed, her front tooth came out into her knee; and, both brothers received a sound thrashing from their father, Ben. Lawrence is buried at the Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Union Township, Clermont County, Ohio, Section 3, Lot 75.

ETHEL WHITTAKER, b. 20 Feb 1909, Green River, Kentucky168; d. 17 Jun 2005, Orlando, Florida169; m. (1) PAUL WESLEY ERVIN, Abt. 1923, Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio170; b. 29 May 1899, Ohio171,172; d. Oct 1970, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona173; m. (2) CHARLES BASTIAN, Aft. 1940, Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH. Notes for ETHEL WHITTAKER: Aunt Ethel was my mom's older sister, born in 1909. Sometimes they used to dress up as if they were twins, though. She and my mom were close. When Ethel was divorced from Paul W. Ervin my mom, May Ada (Jean), stayed with her and helped her to support and take care of her children for a while. In later years, she moved to Florida with her second (and third) husband, Charles Bastian. She married him, divorced him, and married him again. She used to love to play cards and have cook- outs. So, my mom, dad, and I used to go over to their house and play cards with them or they would come to our house. Ethel always revealed her Whittaker "spunk" at a moment's notice! My mom used to love to tell the story of how she dumped a pot of soup over the head of Paul W. Ervin and threw him out of the house when the divorce had become eminent. Her son, Paul, also related this following story to me. When Ethel was 96 and it was getting close to the end of her life here on earth, the nursing home called Paul in Wisconsin, and suggested that he come to Florida. He came to Florida and was hanging around for a week, visiting his mother every day. He started to think that she looked fine and was her normal self; and, so made plans to return home to Wisconsin. On the day he was to leave, he went by the nursing home to see his mother one more time. He said that she said to him "Well, what are you gonna' do, boy?" which he took to mean that she wanted to play cards. He immediately went to the nearest convenience store and purchased a deck of cards. He came back with the cards and they proceeded to play Pinocle for two hours! At the end of this play, it was time for Paul to head to the airport and he kissed his mom goodbye. When he got home to Wisconsin, he got the news that his mother had died. I love the foregoing story because it shows me that Ethel was herself all the way to the end! She was 96 years old .......old enough to die; but still had the mental acuity to play Pinocle for a couple of her last hours on earth with her son. It goes to her personality as a real whipper snapper! Notes for PAUL WESLEY ERVIN: Paul W. Ervin and Ethel Whittaker more than likely knew each other in childhood. 1920 found them living just a couple of short blocks from each other in Benwood, West Virginia; the Whittakers on Water Street; and, the Ervins on Eoff Street, which was the block behind and parallel to Water Street. Earlier, in the 1910 Census, both families were living on the same street; Water Street. More About PAUL ERVIN and ETHEL WHITTAKER: Marriage: Abt. 1923, Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio174 Notes for CHARLES BASTIAN: Remembrances of Dolores I knew Charles Bastian as "Uncle Bill". He was a very nice and likeable guy, very quiet, too. He had somehow been crippled; and, walked with a limp. He and Ethel were very close. When they were old enough to retire, they moved to Florida; and, this is how I got to know them. They used to live in trailer park close by our house. Ethel had a poodle which she loved dearly...even more than "Uncle Bill". We used to sometimes go over there and play cards with them, or else they would come over to dinner. After my Mom died, I never saw either of them again. More About CHARLES BASTIAN and ETHEL WHITTAKER: Marriage: Aft. 1940, Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH vi. ADAM WHITTAKER, b. 12 Apr 1902, Charleston, Kanawha County, WV175; d. 16 Jul 1902, Columbus, Franklin, OH176. Notes for ADAM WHITTAKER: The cause of death stated in Marshall County, West Virginia Deaths Volume 1, Page 113 was just one word: "stomach". The place of death was listed as Columbus, Ohio. This piqued my curiosity; and, I started to dig around Columbus in 1900 to see if I could find Ben and Neva there. I didn't find them; but, I did find something else: Lena Whittaker, sister of Benjamin, living at 779 East Main Street. Her occupation was listed as "Laundress". It is probable that they were visiting Lena when little Adam died. vii. EVA WHITTAKER177, b. 01 Feb 1900, Charleston, Kanawha, WV177; d. 28 Nov 1980, Cincinnati, Hamilton, OH178,179; m. THOMAS JACK BARON180, 13 Dec 1920, Ohio County, West Virginia181; b. 26 Jan 1894, Wheeling, Ohio, West Virginia182. Notes for EVA WHITTAKER: Eva was one of the most likeable of my mothers brothers and sisters. She used to spend some of her vacations visiting us in Florida. That is how I got to know her. She was a very level headed and laid back kind of person; and, the type of person that a child likes to be around as she would pay quality attention to you. I used to wish that she would come visit more often. Eva is buried at the Baltimore Pike Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio, Section 22, Lot 131 Grave 1. Notes for THOMAS JACK BARON: Thomas Baron had lived with his widowed mother and two brothers right around the corner, on 46th Street, from where the Whittakers lived, on Water Street in Wheeling. He was a tin worker in the Wheeling Mill, according to his WW1 Draft Card and the 1920 Census. More About THOMAS BARON and EVA WHITTAKER: Marriage: 13 Dec 1920, Ohio County, West Virginia183 viii.

She was born 1865 in Kanawha County WV192, 193, and died Abt. 1910 in Charleston, Kanawha, WV194. Notes for WILLIAM W. WHITTAKER: William W. Whittaker, the son of William W. & Virginia High Whittaker, must have died between 30 Sep 1930, when he was listed as a witness in the Fiduciary Settlement of the Estate of Virginia High Whittaker, and the 18th day of Jul 1931, when the final settlement was made. He was listed as the administrator of the Will of his sister, Lena, on 21 Nov 1929, which was completed 25 Jan 1930. So, he must have died between the end of the year 1930; and, the 02 May 1933, when his estate was finally settled. This settlement states that there were $17,072.62 in property not subject to debts obtained on account of death by wrongful act. Exactly what this wrongful act was is not explained. Since the above was written, the death certificate of William has been located. It was mistakenly filed under the name William B. Whitaker. He died of Bronchial Pneumonia on April 29, 1933. Information on the certificate was given by a Mrs. N. W. Crummitt of Charleston. The pneumonia was a result of an auto accident in which his 3rd and 4th ribs were fractured. His profession was boiler maker; and, the certificate states that he was a widower at the time of his death.
