Descendants of Andrew Cope
By Robert Lane
First Generation
1. Andrew Cope1–2
was born about 1765. He immigrated in 1803 to Knox, Kentucky, United States.
He
is listed in the Knox County, KY, tax lists from 1803 through 1809. He is not in the earlier tax lists, so he must
have moved there in late 1802 or early 1803.
His son Andrew Jesse Cope's birth place is listed as Tennessee, so the family must have come from
there.
He
appeared in the census in 1810 in Clay, Kentucky, United States. It lists 1 male 0-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 male
45-over, 1 female 0-10, 2 females 10-16 and 1 female 26-45. Clay County, KY, was formed in 1807 from
parts of Madison, Knox, and Floyd Counties.
He appeared in the census in 1820 in Clay, Kentucky, United States.
It lists 1 male 16-26, 1 male 45-over
and 1 female 45-over. He died before
1830 at the age of 65 in Kentucky, United States. A lot of data has been posted on the Internet
about Andrew Cope. Some of it is worth
listing here, although it must be pointed out that, to date, this data is
unproven:
* Some sources list his parents as
Andrew Cobb (1734 - 1822) and Hannah Green (1734 - 1803), residents of Maine.
* The majority of researchers place his
birth date around 1765, a few around 1760.
Both Virginia and Tennessee have been cited as the place. One source lists the date as February 7, 1764
in Falmouth, Cumberland, Maine.
* Nearly all researchers agree that he
died before 1830. Some sources report
his death as July 22, 1822 in Clay County, KY.

David
Nelson visited the county seat of Clay County, KY and found a land record in
the genealogy section of the local library showing that Andrew J. and Winnie
Cope owned land on "Red Bird Creek".
A Clay County, KY county court record on August 27, 1827 says "On
motion of Faris Roberts he [John M. Hacker] is sppt surveyor of the road from
the ford of the Red Bird below Andrew Cope up big creek to the top of the ridge
and that Andrew Cope, David Lewis, Thomas Roberts, Claiborn Hacker, Titus
Hacker, Jack Wilson, Swinfield Roberts, Faris Roberts, Samuel Hacker, Hogan
Hacker, Jessee Roberts and Dudly Hunt and all persons residing on the waters on
Big Creek keep the same in repair as the law directs."
He
appeared in the census in 1850 in Knox, Kentucky,
United States.
It lists Andrew (32), Winny (28),
William (5) and Mary (3) living next door to his sister Elizabeth. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Stinking
Creek District, Knox, Kentucky, United States.
It lists Andrew (42), Winnie (38),
William (15), Wily (10), Jesse (4), Nancy
(2) and his brother Ambrose (28) and father Andrew Jesse (70). He appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township,
Orange,
Indiana, United
States. It lists Andrew (53), Rachel (44), Polly
(23), Wiley (20), Jessie (14), Nancy
(13), Thomas (4), Andrew (1) and Silas Mills (18), probably a relative of his
brother-in-law William Mills.
He
served in the military in 1861 in the American Civil War. When the war began, loyalties were divided in Kentucky. Men enlisted in both the Union and Confederate armies. Jack joined the 7th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry
on the Union side. He enrolled on August
20, 1861 and was mustered in at Camp Dick Robinson on September 22 as a
sergeant in Company I. The regimental
history shows two engagements during his time of service: (1) October 21, 1861
- Battle of Camp Wildcat at Rockcastle Hills, Laurel County Kentucky, and (2)
March 21-23, 1862 - Skirmish at Cumberland
Gap, Tennessee. Jack was wounded, presumably at Cumberland
Gap, and was discharged from the army on April 26, 1862 at Cumberland Ford, Kentucky. Goodspeed's History of Dubois County
says he was in the war about eight months, but became disabled and returned
home. He was persecuted by the rebels in
Kentucky,
so he moved to Indiana
in 1862. See the entry for son Jesse for
the entire text.
Fred
Dillard's memoirs state that "The broad acres extending from the Clements
Ford southeastward and to Elon was once the property of Jack [Andrew Jackson]
Cope. In my recollection it belonged to
two well known and prosperous brothers, Thomas and Andrew Cope. They had married the Ford sisters Etta and
Martha. If both had had children they
would have been double cousins but as it was Thomas and Etta had no children
but they became almost father and mother to the large family of children of
Andy and Martha. These brothers liked
baseball and fox hunting. Many are the
exciting baseball games I have seen on the different diamonds on this
farm. Elon played, Ellsworth, Wickliff,
Newton Stewart, Dubois, Cuzco, Birdseye, English, and
others. They had the first greyhound
that I ever saw and he was credited with catching foxes on the run. This farm was made a modern dairy farm by
their nephew, Elvin Cope, a teacher and leading civic leader and farmer of his
generation."
He
died on December 15, 1873 at the age of 55 in Orange, Indiana, United States.
He was buried on December 17, 1873 at Elon Cemetery
in Orange,
Indiana, United
States. The cemetery was moved to Patoka Memorial
Cemetery when Patoka Lake was created.
Andrew Jackson
"Jack" Cope Sr. and Winnie Lewis were married on December 7, 1844 in Knox, Kentucky, United States
(book A, page 7). Winnie Lewis2,6–9,11 was born about 1822
in North Carolina, United States. David Nelson reported that Winnie Lewis may
have been related to Messenger Lewis. She
appeared in the census in 1850 in Knox, Kentucky, United States. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Stinking
Creek District, Knox,
Kentucky, United
States. She died on February 14, 1862 at the age of 40
in Knox,
Kentucky, United
States. Family stories report that Winnie Lewis Cope
died while the family was en route from Kentucky to Indiana and that she was
buried somewhere on the banks of the Ohio River. However, Goodspeed's biography of her son
Jesse reported that she died in 1862 in Kentucky
and her husband remarried before coming to Indiana. David Nelson reported that Andrew Cope's
Civil War pension states that she died while he was in the service. Given that she died in February and Andrew was
not discharged until April, and Andrew remarried before coming to Indiana,
the family story must be incorrect.

with his parents.
Goodspeed's
History Of Dubois County reported "Jesse Cope was born in Knox County, Ky., September 11,
1855, and is one of seven children born to Andrew J. and Winnie (Lewis) cope,
natives respectively of Kentucky
and North
Carolina. They were married in Kentucky and came to Indiana
in 1862. The father was in the late war
about eight months, but became disabled and returned home. He was persecuted by the rebels in Kentucky, consequently
he moved to Indiana
at the above date. The mother died in Kentucky
in 1862, and the father married again and came here. He died December 15, 1873. Our subject was early thrown on his own
resources for a livelihood. When about
twenty-three years old he married and began farming, and has dealt quite
extensively in the log and lumber business for a firm in Jasper. He owns 333 acres of land, 100 acres under
cultivation and the rest timber land.
May 29, 1879, he married Jeanette Beaty.
To them were born three children: John Elmer, Ada Anne and Everett E. Mr. Cope is a member of the Masonic lodge and
a firm and active Republican. He and
wife are members of the Christian Church."
In the History Of Orange County section on the town of Newton Stewart,
Goodspeed reports that Jesse was an officer in the Newton Stewart Masonic
Lodge, No. 432, in the 1880's.
In the section of Fred Dillard's memoirs covering the people that once lived
between Elon and Wickliffe, he reports "Due east of the narrows 1/2 mile
and on the Wickliffe-Elon road stands the building marking the location of what
was once a more imposing one. It had
previously been that of James Gass and his wife Elizabeth (Dillard). Later it became that of Jesse Cope and his
wife Nettie (Beatty) and their children Ada, Everett, Elvin, Andrew,
Lee, and Agnes. To give an idea of the
goodness of these people I wish to record the following story. Andy and I were
school mates in #10 school that stood at the top of the hill above this
home. As was the custom on March
evenings after school I went home with Andy to spend the night. We did the nightly chores and after supper
went into the large living room to enjoy the large fireplace with his father
and mother. A storm came and there was
keen thunder and lightning. Finally the
storm abated and there was a knock at the front door. When it was opened there stood a man dripping
wet with a two year old child on his shoulder and his wife with a small valise
in her hand. The Copes took them in and
while drying by the fire they told this story.
They were traveling with their household goods with a relative to a new
home near Eckerty. North of Elon the wagon broke down and their relative was
forced to take his horses and return.
They had walked the two miles along the muddy road through Elon and had
encountered the terrible storm. They
were given supper, warm beds, and the next morning Mr. Cope took the man 'Thad
Williams' to a neighbor, Oscar Kellams, and they with his team and wagon moved
to the log house south of the Narrows and set them up to housekeeping
again."

The cemetery was moved to Patoka Memorial
Cemetery when Patoka Lake

which had been placed by Agnes Cope Hagan, was moved to Patoka Memorial in the
early 1970's. The stone suffered some
damage in the move, and had a few cracks.
Don Hagan reported in 2016 that sometime prior to his brother Elvin
Hagan's death in 1980, Karen, Blanchard and Ruth Cope's youngest daughter
replaced the old stone with a new one. On the obverse side was inscribed
"Parents of Agnas (sic) Hagan".
Elvin always fumed about that misspelling. That side is on the fence line, and no one
sees it.

Two children in the 1900 census - Dessie and Leland - were born after Richard
Ford died. David Nelson reported that he
asked his aunt, Nancy Cope Ford's granddaughter, about this some years
ago. She gave him a chilling look and
said, "Well, yes, you are bound to discover things if you go prying
about." She then said "Imagine
the situation of a young widow in those times, trying to make ends meet to keep
her family together. It's known that
people had to do certain things to keep the wolves from the door..." She suspected that a local banker who
might've held the note on the Ford farm might also be the father of the two,
but they were given Richard's surname.
David also reported that family members knew Leland as "Charley
E.", nicknamed "Turkey" Ford,
so-called because he was tall and thin with red hair.

The Jasper, IN Courier (November 28,
1986) reprinted this story in their genealogy section "On Thursday afternoon of last week about 3 o'clock, the
boiler of Bender Brothers, at Ellsworth, in Hall Township, in this county,
exploded with terrific force, tearing the engine and boiler from their
foundations, and hurling the latter through piles of lumber fifty yards,
killing instantly Mr. Richard Ford, a farmer of that neighborhood, who chanced
to be near the mill. He leaves a widow and three young children. Mr. Wyley Cope, who was working at the mill
as a hand, was thrown 100 feet by the concussion, and was badly bruised and
scalded; will probably die. [Note: the Jasper Courier of July 16, 1886
reports that he did indeed die.] Dr.
G.W. Walker was sitting on some lumber talking to Ford at the time. He was
thrown several yards, into lumber piles, scalded on one side, one arm broken,
and badly bruised. John Bender, one of the owners of the mill, was
badly scalded, but will recover.
Nicholas Bender, another of the owners, had some heavy lumber fall on
one hand and was slightly scalded.
Lafayette Ellis was also slightly injured: he was thrown among the
flying timber about 100 feet and his escape is almost miraculous. The mill was a stationary one; was several years old; having been
bought by the Benders from the now notorious Archer gang of Martin county, one
of whom hangs at Shoals today, and who ran it several years as a blind to their
rascalities. It is supposed carelessness
in the supply of water caused the explosion." Wheeler Nelson told David Nelson (June 11,
1988) that these sawmills were great gathering places for locals. He said that Richard told his wife he was
just going to run down to the store for a minute. Wheeler also said that the only treatment for
burns then was covering the victim with wet sheets. Wheeler referred to Wylie Cope as "Uncle
Wylie". He was buried at Elon Cemetery
in Orange,
Indiana, United
States. The cemetery was moved to Patoka Memorial
Cemetery when Patoka Lake
was created.

Church at about the age 20 years and later transferred her membership to the
General Baptist Church of Fairview. She
lived a devoted Christian life until God called her home to rest. Many times she has told her loved ones that
she was prepared to go. She has often
been heard praying for God to care for her companion and children. Funeral services were conducted at Patoka
Church

He died on January 5, 1933 at

His death certificate reported the
following: cause of death was head crushed, struck by automobile, residence was
French Lick, occupation was revenue [illegible], marital status was
divorced. The Springs Valley Herald (January 5, 1933)
reported "The body of Amos Cope was discovered in a ditch along highway 54
just southwest of town early this morning.
The discovery was made by Hib Harris who was passing the spot about six
o'clock. A few minutes later Web Crowder
arrived at the scene of the accident and although both men knew Cope well
neither were able to identify him. The
victim's head was crushed so badly that identification was not possible until
Coroner Holiday arrived about seven thirty and examined the contents of the
dead man's pockets where identifying mail was found. No witness of the accident could be found and
although no statement was made by the coroner the condition of the body
indicated that death was due to the victim being struck by a vehicle traveling
at a fairly good speed. The only
tangible clue other than the crushed skull was a piece of door handle -
obviously from a car - lying near the body. About eleven o'clock this morning,
five hours after the accident was thought to have happened, a truck belonging
to Wm. S. Grigsby of West Baden, minus a handle of one door and having blood
and small particles of bone clinging to its body led to the questioning of
Grigsby who admitted that he had been to Hillham for a load of coal early this
morning and passed the spot where the body was found at about the time of the
accident occurred. Grigsby denied any
knowledge of the accident however, and claimed that if it was his truck that
struck Cope he was unaware of it at the time.
Since the accident evidently occurred just at dawn and since there was a
thick fog it is entirely possible that the driver of the death car was unaware
that a man had been struck down. This is
possible if no part of the vehicle except the door handle struck the victim.
The breaking of the handle would absorb part of the impact and a driver on the
opposite side of the car could conceivably be ignorant of the tragedy. Coroner Holiday has not given a verdict nor has
any charges yet been placed against Grigsby although circumstantial evidence
seems to definitely prove that the man was struck by Grigsby's truck. The body was brought to W. V. Ritter and
Son's undertaking parlors where it will be prepared for burial. No definite
announcement of funeral arrangements has been made. Cope, who is about fifty years of age, has
been living at the home of his mother since becoming estranged from his
wife. He is survived by his wife, his
mother and a brother, Dr. Clint Cope."
The Springs Valley Herald (January 12, 1933) reported "Amos Cope,
son of Wiley and Lucinda Cope was born July 21, 1876 and departed this life in

They returned to Indiana a short time before
Blanchard was born because World War I had begun and Elvin assumed that he

However, he was rejected due to a bad knee from an accident working in
the log woods. They never returned to Canada. This is supported by the 1911 Canadian
census, which reports that Elvin Immigrated in 1911, a year before his marriage
to Pearl. Border Crossings From Canada to the U.S. reported
that Elvin returned to the U.S.

Thomas Lee Cope and Virginia
Gertrude Noe were married about 1921. Lee's nephew Donald Hagan reported that

uncertain) and lived about 1/4 mile west of Donald's family home. Lee left the area sometime in the 1940's, and
went to Indianapolis. He pretty much broke off contact with the
family, and died in Indianapolis, destitute and
alone. His sister (and Donald's mother),

Thomas Lee Cope and Virginia
Gertrude Noe had the following children:
186 i. Manual
L. Cope15 was born on January 28, 1922 in Orange,

(book H-8, page 1).
187 ii. Alvin
Earl Cope15 was born on
October 5, 1926 in Orange, Indiana,

(book H-8, page 89).
188 iii. Dorotha

(book H-9, page 55).
95. Lloyd Cope1,5,8–11 was born on June 25, 1901 in Orange, Indiana, United States. This date was calculated using the death date
and age reported on his death certificate.
The Orange County WPA Birth Index lists the birth of a female to Jesse
and Jeanetta on July 6, 1901 (book H-3, page 43). This is extremely unlikely given the death
information on Lloyd. This birth
information was likely for him instead of a female. He died on November 14, 1901 at the age of 0
in Elon, Orange,
Indiana, United States (book H-19, page 29).
His death certificate reported that he was a baby, 4 months and 20 days
old, cause of death was prostration due to simple atrophy. He was buried at Elon Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.
This was reported on his death certificate.
The cemetery was moved to Patoka
Memorial

when Patoka Lake
was created.

which lists the date as April 15).
Don
Hagan reported that Agnes attended Cuzco High School
for her first two years (the school ceased to exist circa 1948 and is now part
of Southridge at Huntingburg). She then
went to Birdseye, where she graduated, although Don doesn't know why she
transferred. While there, she stayed
with her cousin Mary Ford Nelson. Not many
people went to high school in those days, especially if they were female.
Agnes taught at Baker School,
located on the country road north of Baseline
Road west of SR 145 in the early 1920's. She later taught grades 1-3 at Springs Elementary School
from 1953-1961 and grade 7 at Shoals Community
High School
from 1961-1962.
She
appeared in the census in 1910 in Jackson
Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. She appeared in the census in 1920 in Jackson Township,
Orange, Indiana,
United States. She appeared in the census in 1930 in French Lick Township, Orange,
Indiana, United
States. She appeared in the census in 1940 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.
Agnes
died on December 5, 1967 at the age of 64 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana,
United States.
Agnes died in her sleep at home and was found the next morning by her daughter,
Patricia Hagan Lane. Her death certificate reported the following:
cause of death was a heart attack, residence was R.R. 2, French Lick,
occupation was school teacher, marital status was married. The Springs Valley Herald (Thursday, December
7, 1967) reported "Mrs. Agnes Ione Hagan, 64, died early Tuesday morning
at her home on R.R. 2, French Lick.
Death was attributed to a heart condition. She had taught four years in the Shoals
schools, three years in Orange County
township schools, and for the past five years she served as a private tutor for
children in this locality who are unable to attend regular classes at Springs
Valley Schools. She was a member of the
Birdseye Christian Church. The funeral
will be held at 1:30 p.m. today (Thursday) at the Brosmer-Drabing Funeral
Home. Burial will be in the Cane
Creek
Cemetery. She is survived by her husband, Luther; four
sons, Dr. Marion Hagan of French Lick, Elvin, R.R. 2, French Lick, Reid of R.R.
2, French Lick, and Donald of Speedway; a daughter, Mrs. James Lane of Terre Haute;
a brother, Lee Cope; and seven grandchildren." She was buried at Cane Creek Cemetery in Orange,
Indiana,
United States.
Agnes Ione Cope and Luther
John Hagan were married on June 6, 1923 in Orange, Indiana,
United States
(book 21, page 182). Bessie Hagan Pedigo
reported that Agnes was a teacher at a one room school house in Jackson Township
in Orange
County
and was Bessie's 1st grade teacher.
Luther came home from the first World War, and just saw her around and
they began dating. They lived in Muncie, IN when they were first married
and Bessie thought their first child, Rae Marvin, may have been born there. Donald Hagan reported that Agnes taught at Baker School, located on the
country road north of Baseline
Road west of SR 145. Directly across the road lies the quarter
section that was Osa Hagan's homestead.
This was likely where he settled his family after returning from the
Wheatland area. Don felt it was this
proximity of Osa's property to her place of employment that led to Agnes and
Luther getting acquainted. Luther John Hagan2,5,7–10,23–24,28,31,
son of Osa M. Hagan and Mary Margaret Bolling, was born on February 2, 1892 in Orange, Indiana, United States.
Luther reported that he was named John
Luther Hagan at birth. His names were switched on U.S. Army records during
World War I, and he chose to accept this order rather than to go to the trouble
of getting the correction made. Donald
Hagan reported that when he was young, older people would refer to Luther as
"Johnny Hagan", and the 1900 census lists him as John L., which seems
to support this story. However, he
signed his draft registration form as Luther, not John. He was a good tinsmith, carpenter, mason and
plumber, but did other things as well.
He appeared in the census in 1900 in Steen
Township, Knox, Indiana,
United States.
Luther appeared in the census in 1910 in Northwest Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.
He served in the military in World War
I. His World War I draft registration
card (dated May 23, 1917) describes him as medium height, slender build, blue
eyes and light hair. His occupation was
farm hand for George Sherman in Roberts, Ford County, IL. His residence was French Lick, IN. In that era young men did not register until
the draft was actually instituted for a particular conflict. Luther related to sons Elvin and Donald that
he had attempted to enlist in the Artillery (which was a separate branch in
those days), but was turned down because he was too small. He then approached the Navy and was rejected
for the same reason. He then
"volunteered for the draft", which consisted of contacting the local
draft board. The board would then would
move your name to the top of the list, so that when the next call came from Washington
DC,
you would be first to go. Apparently,
his draft card reflects that action. He
was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery. An entry in the Indiana Book of Merit
reports "Hagan, Luther J. Private,
1980191, Company K, 119th Infantry, 30th Division, Distinguished Service
Cross, General Orders no. 81, War Department, 1919: Near Bellicourt,
France,
September 29, 1918. When his squad was
held up by fire from a sniper's post he advanced alone against it across an
open space and drove the others off, allowing a renewal of the advance. Later he braved heavy shell fire to go to the
aid of wounded soldiers, dressing their wounds and assisting them back to the
lines. Record: Born February 2, 1892, French Lick; son of
Osa M. and Margaret (Bolling) Hagan.

Hollow Road?).

Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. He appeared in the census in 1940 in French Lick Township, Orange,
Indiana, United
States.
Reid served in the military
in World War II. His World War II enlistment record shows that he enlisted on
December 6, 1943. Reid was a nose gunner
in a B-24 Liberator bomber. His crew
flew their Liberator from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, across the Atlantic
Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, the Middle East, then to India, where Reid spent his 19th birthday. From there, they flew the "Hump"
over the Himalayas into China, arriving in
September 1944. The food was horrible.
Donald Hagan remembers his mother packing small boxes with fig newtons,
gum and other goodies to send to Reid.
He was in the 14th Air Force, headquartered at Kunming, China,
although his outfit was stationed farther east.
His squadron was charged with patrolling the South
China Sea, interdicting Japanese shipping and destroying supplies
intended for Japanese land forces still fighting in the interior. The operation
was called the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre.
The 14th Air Force was the operational descendent of Claire Chennault's
famed Flying Tigers. By the time Reid
entered China, most of the Japanese fighter
force had retreated to the Homeland to defend against the B-29's that were
laying waste to their cities. However,
they had to be watchful of anti-aircraft fire.
These aircraft went on their patrols alone and were assigned a
particular area of ocean to cover. They
carried about 18 hours of fuel and their missions were about 16 hours in
duration. The B-24 had a ceiling of
about 32,000 feet, so if a typhoon came in, they had to fly through it - the
storms were too tall to fly over and too wide to fly around with limited
fuel. On one particular mission, the
squadron sent two aircraft (Reid could not remember why). To get home, they had to fly through a
typhoon. When they emerged, they were
over Hainan (Hainandao) Island off North Vietnam,
which was Japanese occupied, and the plane was immediately subjected to
anti-aircraft fire. While transiting the
storm, the crew had left their battle stations and gathered in the fuselage
behind the flight deck. They were hit by
at least one burst of flak, which took off a portion of one of the two vertical
stabilizers and the rear gun turret, which made the aircraft very difficult to
fly. They were low on fuel, so the pilot
had feathered one prop, and they were lost.
The pilot ordered the crew to bail out while he stayed to try to land
the aircraft, but the crew took a vote (very unmilitary of them) and told him
they would all bail out together or they would all ride it down together. They finally found a field (their comm gear
was primitive and they had no contact with their home base), but they didn't
know which side it belonged to. The fuel
gauges were on "E", so they landed.
The field turned out to be British.
No one knows what became of the second aircraft. Another incident involved them arriving in
the vicinity of their home field one dark evening and not being able to find
it. There were no landing lights. The navigator was pulling his hair, positive
he was in the right place. Again, fuel
was low, one of two engines had been feathered, and nerves were frayed. Just when they were preparing for a crash
landing, the runway lights came on. The
pilot made a hot descent and landed safely.
It turns out that the field commander had been warned that there were
Japanese bombers in the area and had ordered lights out and radio silence. They could hear the plane circling and the
pleas on the radio, but would not answer.
When it became clear that the craft was running out of fuel and about to
crash, the order was given to turn the lights on for a short period. By the spring of 1945, no more complete crews
were coming over. Replacements would come in by ones and twos. These people had
to receive "on-the-job" training that the initial crews had received
state-side prior to deployment. Reid
volunteered for these training missions.
People had to earn points to get rotated home. Everyone had to accumulate around 300 hours
to get out of the country and home. The
volunteer hours spent on training missions counted toward rotation home. Just as replacements came in by ones or twos,
veterans left the same way, as sufficient points were accumulated. By the time Reid was eligible to depart, he
was competing with guys who were coming out the jungles of Burma
after 3 or 4 years; those guys got first dibs on flights to the U.S. One could
opt for a berth on a ship, but some of those ships took 3 months to reach the U.S., due to stopovers in the Philippines,
Australia, and Hawaii. Reid kept haunting the Military Air Transport
offices in India and finally got a seat on a
flight to San Francisco, then to Indianapolis. He
rode a Greyhound Bus to French Lick, arriving about 4 a.m. on July 4,
1945. He deposited his duffle bag in
front of the Star Store and walked home.
Walking out old Highway 145, he noticed something strange. It finally dawned on him: trees, lush,
full, trees. Most of his training from
September 1943 to September 1944 had been in areas of the country where there
weren't many trees; the area of China where
he was based was barren. Wood was a
precious commodity; it was needed for fuel by the peasants. Needless to say, his arrival home in those
warm, predawn, hours was a cause for much joy.
He was about 10 weeks short of his 20th birthday. Reid received the Bronze Star, the Air Medal,
and possibly, the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Don Hagan was unable to locate any of these and Reid couldn't remember
where they were. His first wife took one
of them for a memento.
He died on May 23, 2006 at
the age of 80 at Orange County
Hospital in Paoli, Orange, Indiana, United States. Don Hagan reported that
Reid fell in his basement on May 19. He
hit his head on the stairs, resulting in a blood clot on the brain. He was taken to the Orange County Hospital, where he died a few days later. His death certificate reported the following:

that life of which nothing better can be said after death than has been
repeated during life. Such might well be
said of Grace Dexter Flick McCarty, who closed her eyes upon the scenes of the
world about 6 o'clock October 27, 1930 at the age of 18 years, 8 months and 16
days. Born to George A. and Lora Flick
on February 11, 1912, she was the fourth of a family of twelve children, two of
whom have preceded here to the great beyond.
Grace was born near Newton Stewart in Orange County
at which place she spent her childhood days with her parents, brothers and
sisters, sharing the joys and sorrows as they came to their home. During her girlhood days she attended school
near her home where her dutiful and loving manners endeared her to schoolmates
and teachers alike. She was united in
marriage to Lee McCarty on the 3rd of December, 1929. During their brief
married life she was faithful and devoted to her husband. To this union was
born one child who in its very infancy preceded its mother in death [Thelma
McCarty Elliott reported Grace died in childbirth and the baby girl died also]. Grace was companionable, considerate, kind
and loving always. Truly it may be said
that to know her was to love her. The
Great Master, whose motives we do not question has seen fit to call her home,
but let us remember that He said, 'In my Father's house are many mansions. If
it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I
go and prepare a place for you, I will come gain and receive you unto myself;
that where I am there ye shall be also.'
She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, parents, two grandparents
Lee King and Rutha Flick, nine uncles, ten aunts, seven sisters Esther, Edna,
Ruth, Violet, Mary, Virginia and Maxine; two brothers Desco
and Alva. One of her brothers, Lawrence,
preceded he death a little more than three years ago, at about thirteen years
of age. Besides these she leaves many
more distant relatives and a host of friends who remember her with living
kindness and tender memories."

her house, transportation to church and visiting with her through the years. The
family wishes to express appreciation for the kindness of so many.She enjoyed
Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor. She
regularly reminded her children that especially as you age, you have to find
something to make you laugh every day, regularly reading the comics and
clipping cartoons she found funny.
Humor was so important to her that toward the end she looked around her
room in the Hospice House and quoted Oscar Wilde 'either this wallpaper goes or
I do.' To Mom, Granny, Great Granny, we
hope this made you laugh, you were greatly loved and will be sorely
missed. Officiating the service were the
