Speech given by Mary Zella Simms at the 2nd annual Sims / Simms Reunion at Sewell Valley Baptist Church on Saturday, June 23, 2001
Since this is the Sims reunion I think we should show some special attention to Aunt Betty.
She had two children, Cecil and Mary to her former husband Mr. Harrah. After his death, she married uncle Wilson whom he and his wife, Lucy Osborne Simms had twelve. Then he and Aunt Betty had six. Can you imagine cooking and washing on the board for that many?
Aunt Betty and my mother, Octavia were very close friends. They visited real often.
Aunt Betty was a beautiful lady. She dressed nice, always wore her beads, and kept her hair done up.
She had a beautiful black saddle horse. I would be outside playing with my dog, Rowdy, and my cat grandma had given me, named Candy. I'd run in the house and say, "Mommy, I hear a horse coming; must be Aunt Betty." Well it would be her. Dad had cut a big round tall stump from a tree they called their style block, which was placed at the front gate for horse riders to step on when they came visiting.
Aunt Betty would slip off her sidesaddle onto the big block; throw the reins over the gatepost. Then she and mom would really enjoy talking and eating apple pie and sweet cakes, which my mother kept made.
Some years later, Aunt Betty had a bad sick spell. Her daughter Mary worked at the Pioneer Hotel. She asked me to go out there and help with the work and make a kettle of apple butter. Rosa Cox came and helped me. I liked her very much. The girls had gotten married and left Woodrow, who would come in from the fields for his dinner. I worked all summer. Mary paid me $2 a week. I was around 14 or 15 years old. I worked all summer. I'd walk home late in the evening; run part of the way because it was getting dark.
I can picture in my mind just where the furniture sat. Don't ever forget Aunt Betty.
Also Cuma and Bertha Sims were very special friends. | Harrah, Cassa Elizabeth Duncan (I749)

The following are random notes and information as transcribed Saturday, March 17, 2001 by Michael Pavesi compiled during a visit of Ollie Hines with Prudence Crane Piercy at Ollie's home in Charleston.
· Ollie's full name is Ollie Kathleen Hines Young.
· Ollie was 20 years old when she left Rupert to find work in Charleston. Pru's recollection is that Ollie was closer to being 18 when she made this trip. Pru recalls vividly when Ollie came by her house to say goodbye. Ollie and Pru's oldest sister Lula were friends and spent leisure time together. Ollie said, "I was a scared little girl when I came to Charleston."
· Ollie recalled riding horses and mules around Rupert quite often, and when she went to Pru's house she rode a horse.
· Ollie father, William Loftus "Nunnie" Hines was not thrilled about Ollie going to Charleston alone. Ollie ended up going with her sister Lena's husband Guy McClung's sister, Gertrude, who married a King. Nunnie felt that Ollie would be safe going with a McClung since they are such reputable folk.
· One day Ollie was going to work at a Charleston lumber company with a friend, taking a streetcar. While they were waiting for the streetcar, this handsome gentleman with a lady passenger drove by in a convertible and Ollie said to her friend that she wondered who that "good looking fellow" was. Her friend said, "It's my brother. Would you like to meet him?" Ollie was naturally stunned, but said yes. Her friend introduced Ollie to her brother Emory Roseman Young at church and a romance blossomed. Ollie and Emory had a tumultuous relationship at first. They would often get mad at each other and argue, and sometimes they would stop seeing one another. Their feelings eventually won out, and Ollie and Emory were married on September 2, 1927 in Charleston. Emory died in May 1992, 4 months short of his and Ollie's 66th wedding anniversary.
· Ollie and Emory have only one child, Emory Roseman Junior, who was born in 1928, and is called Bud by the family. Bud is retired now. He married and had 4 children. According to Ollie, Bud loves lighthouses, and collects lighthouse memorabilia.
· Ollie came to the retirement complex where she lives in 1996.
· Ollie said that her Dad, Nunnie, was loved by many. Whenever anyone would take ill they would go to see Nunnie to get better.
· Ollie's brother William Theodore was known by all as Ted.
· Ollie's sister's Lena Truman Hines married Christopher Guy McClung and they had 11 children. Lena died in 1990. Her brother Fred also had 11 children.
· Her sister Della Daisy Hines married Bern Moore and had at least 3 children, a daughter Thelma who died in December 2000, a son Kenneth and another son who is now living in Texas. Her sister Carrie Virginia Hines married Rome Riley. They had two children, a daughter Jenna and a son who was born dead. Carrie died in 1993.
· Ollie's brother Joseph first married Ada Bivens and later married Evelyn Johnson Cales.
· Ollie said that her grandfather William H. Hines owned slaves.
· Pru gave Ollie a photo of Ollie's grandaunt and granduncle Emma Crane and Will Dietz. (Emma is Edward's daughter and Ollie's grandmother Ann Elizabeth's sister), and Ollie recalled them. She said she remembered that Aunt Emma was a pretty woman.
· Both Ollie and Pru said that they have had great lives and they were both grateful for them.
Kinship is as follows: Ollie to Pru - First cousin once removed; Ollie to Diane - Second cousin once removed; Ollie to Chuck - Third cousin once removed; Ollie to Troy - Third cousin twice removed. I'm just an in-law (sigh); I am half of what ever Diane is. | Hines, Ollie Kathleen (I2775)

The following are random notes and information as transcribed Saturday, March 17, 2001 from hand written notes taken Thursday, March 15, 2001.
· Both Pru and Jean are of the opinion that Anna Elizabeth Crane and William H. Hines did not get married, but simply lived together. Despite the notoriety, especially given the era, it was accepted by the family, spoken of only in hushed tones and rarely in the open. But it seems it was well known by the family. Troy Hunter offers a date of marriage of April 4, 1861. William Loftus was their only child. Pru and Jean say that William was "...an older man…" that "...seduced…" Anna. Men are like that, you know.
· The son of Ermil E. Moses and Constance Persinger, Bobby Joe was adopted.
· I show Sidney Smith married twice, to two McClungs. In reality, they are the same person Laura H. "Lockie" McClung. Troy shows the "H." as standing for "Havana"; neither Pru nor Jean knew if this was correct.
· Pru had told Diane and I once that she called her uncle Benjamin (Benjamin Wilson Zopp) Uncle Clott and his wife (Catherine Crane) Aunt Kit. She was incorrect and told me that it was Uncle Clott and Aunt Kate. She corrected herself and said that she called Elizabeth Wheeler Crane, Aunt Kit and her husband, William Reece McClung, Uncle Reece. Got it?
· Jean told me that Ollie Hines Young's sister Della died on May 28, 1982 in Charleston, WV, and that Della lived in Hines most of her life. She likely died in a Charleston Hospital. Also, she said that Cecil Hines, Ollie's brother, died on September 30, 1993 and that his SSN was 235-26-5942.
· This one is amazing… Pru said that Margaret Garner, a friend of hers who is 103 years old (...and still alive…) is the daughter of Charles Morrison, who is the son of James Harvey Morrison and Mary Jane Crane, Edward's daughter. Margaret married Gerald Garner who has died, and she is now living at Graystone Landing. Jean knows her somewhat since Margaret's mother is Mary Jane Zopp, whose sister Minnie Merton Zopp is Ollie Hines' mother. Also, Mary Jane Zopp is the daughter of Joseph H. Zopp and Cynthia Jones. Joseph's brother is Benjamin Wilson Zopp, whose son Gelenco is Jean's father-in-law. Margaret and Jean are second cousins once removed, and Pru and Margaret are first cousins once removed. Pru is going to see if we can meet or call Margaret.
· While on this topic, Jean said that Charles Morrison married Mary Jane Zopp on December 26, 1894 in Rupert WV. They had 3 children, Margaret E. born February 18, 1898 in Rupert; Anna L. born March 1896 in Rupert; and Henry C. born May 1900 in Rupert.
· A little more "old lady gossip"… Pru said that Zora Ann Moses did not marry Newt O'Dell. Zora had a baby with Newt, a girl named Hazel. Newt had nothing to do with them, and Zora lived with her parents, Joseph Moses and Mary Virginia Crane, raising her daughter alone. This little tidbit is, in fact, confirmed by the 1920 US Census. Pru gives the impression that Newt was a bit of a scoundrel.
· Pru tells a story she got from her father. Seems that William Starr worked in his father Edward's general store. There was this girl who came to the store one day that had a bit of a reputation for taking things that did not belong to her. As Pru said, "If'n it weren't nailed down you knew it'd disappear." One day this girl came into Edward's store and William waited on her, having just put some fresh eggs out. The girl eventually asked William to get her something that required him to go to the back of the store, and he knew that while he was doing that, some of those fresh eggs would find their way inside of her clothing. So William went to the back, and when he came out he put the things down that he got, and walked over to her and told her it had just been so long since he saw her that he simply had to give her a hug, which he did. Tightly. Such, that he heard the eggs hidden in her blouse crack.
· Jean said that Isabel Snedegar, wife of Cyrus Rupert McClung, was born in 1854 in Greenbrier County, VA.
· I made a large error when I last spoke to Jean. Our report shows two William Benjamin Zopp, one being Jean's son and one being her grandson. The grandson is correct. Jean has only one son, James Preston. Merge the two William Benjamins, or as Jean calls him, Billy Ben.
· And while on the topic of Jean's family, her granddaughter Rebecca's children are Heather, born July 1, 1993 and Holly born June 3, 1996. Seems that Rebecca and Patrick Massie are not married, and are quite happy with that arrangement. Jean is not thrilled, but she accepts Rebecca's feelings that if she and Pat were married, they would be divorced by now. Patrick Warren Massie was born on April 15, 1969, and Pat and Rebecca are very much in love and very happy. Billy Ben is non-amicably divorced from his wife Patricia, who has primary custody of their three children. He brings the kids to Jean's on the weekend he has custody, and the kids love being around greatgrandma.
· Pru has been in touch with Blanche Yoakum Whitlow who has asked me for some information on her family, which I will send to Pru, for as much as I have. Blanche is the daughter of Cletus Yoakum and Ada Moses, making Pru and Blanche second cousins once removed. Blanche and Jim Whitlow have 2 sons, one of whom is named Bud. I will get more information about Blanche's family through Pru. | Crane, Liuba Prudence (I103)

June - Joseph S. Crane, Jr. and Malinda Heaster.
Book 1B, Page 98, Year of 1887, Line 36. There is evidence that Joseph and Malinda were living together as far back as 1869, but perhaps did not formally marry until 1887. Joseph gives his age as 44 instead of the computed 48, and Malinda gives her age as 32 instead of the computed 39. | Family: Joseph Steven Crane, Sr. / Malinda A. Heaster (F41)

The tombstone of Rebecca stands alone in the cemetery of the Presbyterian Church in Orange on the corner of Main Street and Scotland Road, on the southerly side of a pathway leading through the churchyard from Scotland Road. It reads "Rebecca, the wife of Azaraih died 15 June 1739, aged 48."
Born c.1690-91, it is uncertain* whether Mrs. Crane's maiden name was Prince or Lamson/Lampson. She died "Aged 48 years", the wife of Azariah Crane (born c.1682), whom she is believed to have married in 1706, when she was in her mid-teens. It is not known whether the wedding took place in New Milford, Connecticut, or in New Jersey. The couple subsequently had children named Rebecca, Azariah, Job,Gamaliel, Ezekial, and Stephen.
Mrs. Crane's grave is marked by a brown sandstone stele featuring a winged skull in its tympanum, a grim soul effigy which was popular during the early colonial period, but which largely gave way to soul effigies of the portrait type by the mid-1700's. It appears to be the work of a craftsman known only as the "Common Jersey Carver". Rebecca's survivors at the time of her death included her husband.
*Although Rebekah Crane's maiden name has been given as "Lamson" and "Lampson" in some sources, evidence suggests that it is more likely that she was the daughter of Job Prince, a sea captain, and the former Rebecca (nee Phippen) Baldwin, a widow at the time of her marriage to Job. (See Genealogy of New Jersey Families, Volume I, p.180-181, for discussion of maiden name controversy.) | Prince, Rebecca Lamson (I5457)
