TODAY I VISITED YESTERDAY

By: Pat Conner Rice

Today I visited yesterday,Andwalked among the graves

Offamily and fi'iends from long ago .

Whose memory had begun to fade.

The graves were unattendedAs were my thoughts ofthem

When a vision ofthe ages pastBrought backmy sense ofkin.

The vision showed the church lawnOn a crisp summer day

The table spread, the food preparedAnd fiiends who would break bread

Allmy relatives were there .

Both young and old

Grandma and I walked hand and handSharing stories never to ld

We laughed and cried andShared our thoughts .

And found the friend I thought I‘

d lost.

As the sun began to fade .

The church bell rang out clear

Grandma and the others slowly disappearedToday I visited yesterday

And now thememory is strong

Ofthe family fromwhich I came

AN NOWBELONG .

Introduction

Derivation of the Chatham N ameAs people came to the new colonies their names were often spelled phonetically. So in

court cases, census records, and evenwills, youmight have a variety ofspellings. I have seen thesame person

'

s name spelled two or three differentways and itwas obvious from the context, thiswas all referring to the same person. Futherrnore, a personwho was illiteratemightnot even know

how their name was spelled. So the name Chatham has been spelled in a variety ofways.

Chatham, Cheatham, Cheetharn, Chetham, Cheathem, Cheetarn, Cheatum, Chatram, Chittarn,

Chittem are all variants ofthe same surname. The surname "

Chatham"is most likely derived from

the Britishword "

ceto"

and the OldEnglishword"

ham"

,meaning"wood" and "

homestead" . The

name was given to those who came fiorn Cheetham (homestead by a forest)1 , a place inLancashire, England.

Chathams Come to AmericaMost sources that 1 have read suggest thatmost all the Chathams inAmerica can trace their

roots back to a Thomas Cheatham, who was born in Lancashire, England. He is said tobe

"

the originalCheatham immigrant to the N ewWorld.

" 1 There is some evidence fiom there search I have done concerning theMaryland Chathams , thatThomasmay not be the firstimmigrant. There certainly are some Chathams that show up inMaryland at almost the same time,ifnot before Thomas . (See:

"

OtherMary land Thomas died 1 726 in Charles Parish,York, Virginia. Hemarried (1)Margaret. She was born about 1645 in Chesterfield, Virginia anddied 6 April 1670 in York County, Virginia.

In Anne Basset Stanley Chatham’

s book, Tidewater Families offlue N ewWorld, she recordsthe following note from:Descendants of Thomas Cheatham ofChesterfield County, VA, by

Lucille CheathamMosely:"Thomas Cheatham was the original Cheatham immigrant to the

N ewWorld. InNugent'

s Calalier 's andPioneers ,Vol. II, p. 358, he is listed as being a headrightimported byMartin Elam. On 23 Oct 1 690 Elamreceived 900 acre s inVarinaParish ofHenrico

Chetham. was in the colony long before Elam'

s 1691 claim. He is first found living inYorkCc ., VA where the register ofCharles Parish records the death ofhis wife in"MargarettCheatham, wife ofThomas, died April 6, 1 670. believe Thomasmarried again in1681 but can findno record ofhis second wife's Thomas was the only Cheatham listed inthe QuietRentRolls ofVA for 1 704, paying 1 shilling per fifiy acres for his 300 acres which he

purchased fromMartin Elam on 29 January 1 691 for 2000 pounds oftobacco . In his will of2May

1720 Thomas left his property to his eight children: Thomas , Jonathan,Marmaduke, Benjamin,Mary , Susanna, Tabythan, andWilliam andhis grandson, Thomas . His was left to his

eldest sonThomas . His lesser effects were willed to his other children and grandson. Thomas'

will

Descendants ofJosiahLevin James Chatham

was probated 1 August 1 726 so I assume that he had died earlier that same year, being abouteighty years ofage.

Ifyoulook at the map, Charles Parish, York Co ., Virginia, is just across the Chesapeake BayfromWorcester Co .,Mary land ; so itwould have been very easy for one ofthe Chathams to go upinto Maryland. But, inmy research I have not yet been able to findwhen, where orwhat Chatham

family or families came to Somerset orWorcester Counties, Maryland andwhether or not there isany actual connection.William Cheathamwho has done considerable research on both theVirginia andMaryland Chathams draws this conclusion:

"

I do NOT believe the

Chetham/Chatham families inMd. are connected to Thomas Cheatham of

York/Henrico/ChesterfieldCo . Va., at

least in the U .S. However, I do think it’

s possible that they are connect together back in England .

"4

We do know that finmYorkCo.Virginia, the families spread through outVirginia on to N orthCarolina andTennessee, then fiom the EasternCoast States into Louisana, Kansas , Texas and

across the rest ofthe United States.

Maryland Chatham's

For several years the futherest any ofus could trace our line ofChathams back to was John B .

Chathanr We knew that John B. Chathamwas born (July 1 9, 1 819) probably in Somerset Co .

Marylandl and died (March 7, 1 896) inWorcesterCounty,Maryland. We knew thatDecember

14, 1 841 hemarried N arcisus Causey, daughter ofPatrickCausey II, prominent andwealthy,long time citizens ofWorcesterCo .Maryland. At that pointwe knewmore about the Causeys of

Maryland thanwe did about the Chatham's ofMaryland. John B . Chathamismentioned indire ctly

in PatrickCausey'

swill as he wills part ofhis estate to his daughter,"Narcisus Chatham

". The will

was probated i1 1 1842.According to the 1 850 1860 FederalCensus Records both John and

N arc isuswere born inMaryland andwere living inWorcester Co .MD . In February of2000, we

discovered who John B . Chatham’

smother and grand-parents were.

According to Chatham family tradition, namely, Floyd Melvin Chatham, John B . Chatham

was born John Beard (the"

B"

in his name standing for"

Beard") andwas adopted by theChathams . AMary-Jo Shores ofSt. Simons Island, Georgia report that her husband

'

s mother,

Irene Chatham Shores,who traces roots back to John B . through Josephus Chatham, also recalls

that in their family there was a story ofaChatham adopting a Beard, although she thought itwas ageneration or two earlier. It turns out that John B . Chatham probablywasn

'

t adopted, but hewasorphaned andplaced under guardianship ofa Josiah F. Chatham, his uncle . Here

'

s whatwe know

InSomerset Co. 11m Wills 1 820-1 837, Will Book JP4, by Ruth T . Dryden, 1987 we haveJohn and James Chattarn listed as the sons ofPriscilla Chattarn, daughter ofJohn Chattarn. John B

Chathamwould have been almost 1 1 years oldwhen his grandfather"s willwas made . The

following is an abstract ofJohn Chattam'

s will:


Will ofJohn Chattarn,dated 6 July 1 830, proven 1 6Mar. 1 832. To son Josiah Chattarn,

Plantation namedn ecgtor);Lto grandsons John James Chattarn, sons ofmy dau. Priscilla

Chattarn, tr . bou. (fiansfer bounty)ofEleab Beard called Latons Discovery; to sonWilliam; to

grandchildren Josiah Thomas Banks, Priscilla Riggen,MargaretHester Banks ; mentions friendJonathan Hufiington named executor).Witnesses : Thomas Hitch, John Goslee ofJos .

, John

Goslee .

"

NMes/Commentary: N ow why Priscilla and the two boys are listed as Chathams in the above

will, and not by their Father's surname is puzzling. But the fact that a

"Eleab. Beard" ismentioned

in the will, especially in light ofthe family tradition concerning"

Beard," is probably noco incidence. The best interpretation ofall ofthis would seem to be that somethinghad happenedto Mr . Beard (hewas killed or abandoned the family) and Priscilla and the boys had taken backthe Chatham name . Or thatPriscillawas nevermarried and James John are children born out ofwed-lock. At this pointwe have no record ofanymarriage for Priscilla.

"

Latons Discovery"mentioned in the will here andwhich is being passed on to John and

Jarnes, is a 1 00A. piece ofland that is listed under a Thomas Beard on the Somerset Co . Tax List

of 1 783.1 How this piece ofland comes into the hands ofJohn Chathanr, Sr. to be passed on by

his will, is a bit ofamystery. Johnwas married to a Sally Beard. So"

Latons Discovery"could

have been an inheritance ofSally Beard which became communal propertywhen JohnmarriedSally . Or

"Latons Discovery

"

could have been the remaining estate ofa Eleab? Beard, Priscilla'

s

late husband, which John Chatham, Sr. had somehow acquired and is now passing on to Priscilla'

s

two sons .

The next evidence we find concerning John B . Chatham'

s mother and family are some court

records where John James are apparently orphans. In Somerset County,Maryland Orphans

CourtProceedings the following three entries are found:First:

Tuesday, 1 3 Dec. 1 836 : (Book 4 June -June 26, 1 838, p. 1 91 )Orphan: James Chittarn (legatee ofJohn Chittam); Appointed Guardian : John B . Slemmons ;Sureties : Josiah Ellingsworth, JohnMcDaniel

O rphan: John B . Chittarn (legatee ofJohn Chittam); Appointed Guardian: Josiah Chittam;Sureties: John B . Slemons , IsaacAndersonN otes/Commentary: Pri scilla is apparently dead now andprobably their grandfather as well. SoJosiahChittam (Josiah F. Chatham), his uncle, is appointed as John B.

’s guardian. Josiah F.

Chatham shows up in the 1 830, 1 840, 1 850 Census all inWorcester Co .,MD .

Second:

Tuesday, Dec. 31 , 1 839: (Book 5 1 838- 1 843, p. 22)John Josiah Chittam, Hetty Banks , Betsy Pusey,William, Francis John Chittam, Jr. are only

heirs ofAquilla Chittam, a soldier in the Maryland Line in the RevolutionaryWar; John, Josiah,

Hetty, Betsy William are children ofJohn Chittam, Sr dec., a brother ofAquilla; Francis is s/o

George Chittarrr, dec John is s/o Aquilla; said Geo . Priscilla are children ofJohn Chittam, Sr.

N otes/Commentary: This cora'

t entry helps us identify severalmore people in the family and theirrelationships . Youhave to be careful not to confuse "

heirs"with

"

children"

, i.e . the"

heirs"of

Aquilla listed here are not his children. The following relationships are defined: -John Chittam,

Sr. andAquilla Chittam are brothers ; - John Jr., Josiah,William, Francis, George, Hetty Banks,

Betsy Pusey, and Priscilla are all children ofJohn Chattarn, Sr.

Third


Tuesday,April 28, 1 840: (Book 5 1 838-1 843, p. 25)Josiah Chittam, guardian to John B . Chittam, infant s/o Priscilla Chittam, dec., late daughter of

John Chittanr, the brother ofAquilla Chittam, soldier in the Revolutionary War, to sell certificates

ofland bounty scrip.

N otes/Commentary: Josiah is again identified as guardian ofJohn B . Chatham, who again is

identified as son ofPriscilla Chittam. John is almost 2 1 years old by now even though he'

s referredto as the

"infant s/o Priscilla Chittarn

"

. Itmakes me wonder ifPriscilla died in child-birth or shortlyafier John B

'

s birth??

A final piece ofevidence is found in a little book JP 1 0Receips , Releases Powers ofAtto rney 1 830-1 842 by Rebecca F.Miller. The following two entries are found:Firs t:

- 2 1 N ov 1 840. John B . Chatham, only heir ofJames B . Chatham, received fiom John B .

Slemons, administrator ofJames B . Chatham, deceased, consisting ofnegro manLevin

and cash, being balance ofdeceased's estate .Witrressed by:LevinWhite, J.P. (140)Note/Commentary: John

'

s brother, James apparently dies without awillwhile stillunder theguardianship ofJohn B . Slemons. John becomes his bro ther

'

s"

heir"

. It's interesting that John B.

Chatham inherits a slave named le vin"

. John later names a son"

Levin".Does this mean our

"

Ie vin James Chatham"was named after a slave? It looks like thatmay be the case.

Second:

- 7 Sept 1 841 John B . Chatham received from guardian Josiah Chatham and

exonerated said Chatham fromguardianship. Before James Pok, Regr (150)N ote/Commentary: John B . Chatham is now 2 1 years old. He

’

s an adult and Josiah’

s

guardianship is exonerated . The must be the remains ofthe inheritance received fromhisGrand Father, John Chatham, Sr.

For several years ofmy research, Ihad suspected a relationship between Josiah F. Chatham

and John B . Chatham. Ihad even suspected that Josiah F. Chathamwas John B .

's Father, but I

could never prove anythinguntil now It turns out thatJosiahF. was John B .

'

s uncle and

then laterwas named guardian ofJohn B .when John James were orphaned. As youlook at the

census records the "Chathams", the

"Causeys

"

, the"

Fooks"were are all neighbors located in and

around Snowhill (Nutter's District) ofMaryland, whichwas first located in SomersetCounty. But

when Somerset Country was divided, Snowhill became apart ofWorcester County,Maryland. I

had spent considerable time researchingWorcester County records , but itwasn'

tuntil I looked intothe older records ofSomerset County, that I found John B . Chathambeingnamed in his Grandfather

’s will, with his mother being idenfified.

Right now I am researching the connection between Francis Chittarn/Chatham and the other

Maryland Chatham'

s we find inMaryland at this time and earilier. Since the Ie vin ChathamFamily reunion in Topeka in July, 2000, Ihave foundwhat appears to be a connection betweenFrancis Chittam/Chatham andDr. Edward Chatham2 awell documented Chathamwho came toStPaul

's Parish, QueenAnn

's Co .,Maryland in the earily 1 700

's or late l6oo

'

s. Dr. EdwardChatham died about 1 709 andnamed his eldiest son, Henry, in his will alongwith other namedchildren. Henry is named executor alongwith his mother, ofhis father’ s will and is willed his"

choice of'

Timberland’ or two tracts, '

Inkersell'

and'Pasca11 Chance

’

. Apparently he chooses'

Inkersell’

and'Pascall Chance

'. Although there is considerable information on Henry

'

s younger

brother, Edward Jr. andhis off-spring, there doesn'

t seem to be much further information on Henryaround "

St Paul'

s Paris But about the same time there is a HenryChatham,married to Mary

Descendants ofJos iah Levin James Chatham

with two sons, Francis Edmond, who shows up in Baltimore County,Maryland in records ofSt. George

’

s Parish. This Henry fits the same age as"

Henry , the son ofDr. Edward Chatham.

"

Henry'

s son, Francis, would also fit the same age of Francis Chatham"

, our oldest pro venancester. But there

'

s two weak links in this connection. First, I have no proven link between"

Francis Chatham"

, our oldest proven ancester and Francis, the son ofHenry Chatham of St.

George'

s Pari sh in Baltimore County,and secondly,

Ihave no proven link between Henry ofSt.

George'

s Parish and"

Henry , the son ofDr. Edward Chatham. I.E. The work ofa genealogist is

never finished. Iwill continue to work to prove or disprove this connection. Ifthe connection is

proven, we have royal connections throughMary Drake , Henry'

smother, who was a royal

descendent ofKingEdward I ofEngland.3.

Chathams Come to KansasBrothers , Ie vin James andCharles Franklin,

were the only two sons ofJohn B . Chatham that

we know ofwho came to Kansas .

Lev in James Chatham

Levin came to Kansas in 1881 and located near N ortonvile, Kansas March 21 , 1 883. Levin

James Chatham and N aomie ElizabethEshomwere married atOskaloosa, Kansas . 1 find it

interesting thatLevin andN aomie were both born near each other inMaryland, N aomie inSalisbury and Ic Vin in Snow Hill.Whether they knew each other before they came to Kansas , I

don't know, but they“

were notmarried until they came to Kansas .

We do know thatLevin was married for a short time to aMiss Elizabeth Joneswhile he wasstill inMaryland. They were married in 1 875. They had two sonswho are reported to have died ininfancy and then after only three years ofmarriage, Elizabeth passed away in 1 878. Itwas three

years afterher death thatLevin came to Kansas in 1881 .

By the 1900 FederalCensus Levin andN aomie were located in Leavenworth County(Longanoxie Twp), Kansas and already hadnine children: ClaraD StellaD . Elmer S.

Roy S . FredrickL. Mary D. Floyd S . andRalph S . (9months).By the 1 91 0 Federal Census Levin andN aomie were now living in Osborne County, Kansas

inValley Townshipwith ten children at home . Dora the oldestwas alreadymani ed to ChesterArthur Erhard (Jan. 2, Clara Stella Elmer Roy Fred Mamie

Floyd Ralph andMelvin (3)were at home.

By the 1920 FederalCensus Levin andN aorrrie were living inO sage Co .,Kansas near

Burlingame with only three children still athomez'

Stella Ralph Melvin

Charles Franklin Chatham: 1 .

Ihave not been able to find exactlywhenCharles Chatham came to Kansas .We do know that

the familywas in Jefferson Co . Kansas near Valley Falls byMarch of 1 894 because Lillie Ellen

Chatham, their ninth child was born there . Apparently the two families knew each other, although


Ihave foundno evidence the two families lived close to one another. One brother, (Charles)Frank Chatham, (of) Rock Creek, Kansas

"ismentioned in Levin James'obituary.

Ihave not been able to findCharles or any ofhis family ill the 1 910 FederalCensus . In the

1920FederalCensus Charles is now 64 years old and is livingwith his daughter and son-in-law,

William Laura Welbom in Jefi'

erson Co., Kansas in Fairview Township. Charles died August 7,1932 andwas buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery, Valley Falls, KS .

HistorywrittenbyGenevieve (Russum) Henderson, daughter ofJosephWesleyRussum andClara May

As I remember GrandpaChatham, hewas a tall slender six-footman. Hewas always busy. He didn‘t

farmanymore but raised a lot ofwatermelon, pumpkins, potatoes and other garden produce. Hewas alwaysoutside hoeingandweeding. IN the wintertime he shelled corn offthe cob for themi lk cows and the calftheywould save to butcher. Grandpa chewed tobacco and couldhithis spittoon ten feet back Aunt Stel lawouldraise cane whenhe missed hismark.As he grew older hismind sortawent bad.When she would try to cleanaround his spittoon, he'dwhackherwith his cane. Grandpa had abrother, Uncle Frank Chatham, that lived inRock Creek, Ks He liked to come and visitGrandpa. Theywould set in the shade ofa tree, whittle on a stickand te ll about their younger days inMaryland. I think a little whiskeywas mixed in (inMaryland). I'd love tosit and listen as they always to ld about the littlemen rtmningup and down the horse lines as they droveHome. They said they had red coats andpointedheads. Then theywould laugh. Ofcourse as akid I like tohear stories.All in all, hewas a good ol

'

boy!

As I remember Grandma Chatham, shewas a smal l person or so ; weighed less than 100 lbs. butdon

't under-estimate what she coulddo .Aunt Stel la did the house work and themilking. Grandma raised

chickens for eggs andmeat. He arms were back and blue where the settinghenswould pick her. She alwayssent to Sears andRoebuck for salted cod fish. They came in awooden bucket. She would soak them inwaterall night and put them inwith potatoes for breakfast.Were they every good!

Grandmawas a Seven-DayAdventist. They held church at home. She read verses fi'

orn the Bible andsaid a prayer. She didn

't work on Saturday as thatwas her Sabbath.Dorothy Erhart and I both liked to stay

andplay at Grandma's I remember and Ibet she does too- we got in a fight, overwhat, I don'

t know. But

Grandma setme on one chair andDorothy on another.We couldnot getup untilwe learned this Bible verse.

I stil l know that verse by heart. "Great peace have they that love the law andnothing shal l offend them.

"I

have a letter thatGrandmawroteme, June 1 1 , 1951 consisting ofsix pages. She was 90 years old. She was

quite a lady ! !As I remembermyDad andMom JosephWes ley Russum, born July 8, 1 887 andClaraMay

Historywritten byMillie andWilford (Bill) Chatham, son ofElmer andLela (Cook) ChathamWe lived inCo lorado formuch ofour lives and had little contactwithGrandpa andGrandma.However

we do remember Grandpa'

s co l lie dog. (Does anyone remember his name?) Itwas in the late 1920‘s Grandpahad amost intel ligent dog.When itwouldget close tomilking time the dogwould come and stand byGrandpa.Grandpawould say, "

It isn't time yet.

"The dogwould sit patiently until Grandpawould say, 0 k,

it’

I'm sure we all remember andmarvel that Grandmamemorized chapters , not verses, ofthe Bible. Even

whi le in her 9o’s she continued tomemorize scripture. Once whenwe were visiting her, it had to have been inMay of 1955, she was lamenting that she couldn‘twork inher garden as long as she used to.

Aunt Stellawas quite the disciplinarian.Can youimagine making two active boys (Les lie and Bil l) sitstil l in a chair while she scrubbed the floor andwaiting Imtil the floorwas dry!

Our father, Elmer, was childnumber four, born He andLe laCookweremarri edThey started theirmarried life traveling to Co lorado in a coveredwagon. They homesteaded in Springfield“and together they built a sodhouse, which is stil l in existence, with somemodifications, however. Theirmarriagewas blessedwith ten chi ldren, four boys and six girls. Fayewas the first born Lora,

Ruth, Leslie, Wilford (Bill), Maye, Neva,

Clifford, and died Harry, andArlene,Elmer diedApril 20, 1944 at the age of55. He is buri ed in the Harveyvi lle Cemetery.

— Summer 1998

*Note: The Homesteadwas actually 7 miles north and 2 west ofSpringfield. 1 , George Chatham, grewupin the Sod house that is spoken ofhere. Only as I knew it, a bed roomhadbeen added to the North and aporch andbathroomwas added on the south and the sod partwas stuccoed. (George Chatham)

In talkingwithmyUncle OranChatham (summer, 1998) and recallingmy GrandFather’ s (FredChatham) stories , there are some indications thatElmermay have sufferedfrom some kind ofchronicmentalillness or seasonal depression. As a chi ldElmer was bittenby a rattle snake and nearly died.My Grandfatherto ld ofkil ling chickens and using the raw chicken as poultices to draw out the snake poison. But according to

myUncle Oran, in later years about the same time every year thatElmer hadbeen snake bitten, he wouldhave these episodes inwhich he wouldwithdraw andgo into the darkness ofthe storm ce l lar andjust staythere for days at a time.Whether there's an actual connection between the snake bite and the episodes isprobably debatable ; but apparently at the time some ofthe family felt there was an associationbetween thesnake bite and the episodes. He may have had a seasonal depression.

Another story I recal l being to ld aboutElmerwas the time he was digging the well on the homesteadplace. Hewas using a two blade post-ho lddigger to digwith.He accidently choppedinto his toe, nearlycutting it off. As the story is told he went into the house, cleaned itup the best he could, covered itwith cowsalve, bandaged and taped the toe back on andwentback down in the wel l and continued digging. I am

fami liar with the wel l he dug. Itwas about 2 feet across and 65 feet deep.At the bottom ofthe wel l whenhereached the sand stone, Elmer had chiseled out a cistern in the sandstone that formed a smal l room about 6 or7 feet in diameter. I helpedmyDad, Vernon Chatham, re

-plaster the walls ofthatwell in the early 1960's.

Thewaterwas excel lent water. The we ll went dry in the late 60 early 7o's when the farmers in EasternBacaCounty andWestern KS begin to do deepwell irrigation.

AboutAugust dadwould come tel lmother, "Ifyoucan be ready tomorrow, we will go to see the fo lks.

"

Then nextmorningwe wouldget up real early to go to see our grandparents .We first traveled in aModel TFord, then an oldDodge touring car. Itwould takeus most ofa day to get there. 1 don

t havemanymemories

ofgrandpa other than hewas gray andwalkedwith a cane . Grandma andAunt Ste lla had all kinds ofvegetables and fruit. Youwere never long inGrandma's house until she wouldwitness to youofher Lord andSavior. Thenwe would spend one day with each brother or sister, then start home. Each nightwewould goback to Grandpa andGrandma

'

s and sleep on the floor or in the yard. Thenwhen Iwas married andwe livedin Topeka, John and I and familywent out once in a while. Grandma would have John read the Bib le to her.

She learned the i4th chapter ofJohnwhen I think shewas in in 9o's. The summer before Iwas married,grandma andAunt Stel lahelpedme quilt a guilt. They did this for people, charging $3 a quilt.Grandpa diedin Feb. 1940 before I was married.

Iwil l nowwrite aboutmy dad, RoyChatham. Itwil l be just a little view I have ofhimas his second

chi ld. Hewas born in JeffersonCounty andwent to Osborne cormty as a youngman.His parents lived thereawhile. He stayed, metmymother, his wife, EdithLane, atLuray orWaldo, Kansas. They lived on two orthree different places aroundLuray. Lepha andVelmawere born there . Then they talk ofaRanch atPlainvil le. Eulah and Stel lawere born there. Uncle Floyd livedwith them ayear or so there. Then they

movedbackbyLuray on a farm. Roy Jr. andRandal were born there. In about 1923 or 24, they bought aplace inOsbornCounty. This is where Roy Jr. still lives yet today and the birthplace ofthe rest ofthe familyNaomi, Viginia, Nadine and Izora. AfterWorldWar II, Roy Jr. gotmani ed andwanted to farm.Dadwas

getting arthritis quite bad so he lefl the farmand came to Topeka andbought a place. He worked at theMethodist home for awhile, thenwas afireman forWashbum Co llege until he retired. ButDadwas a farmer

at heart until the dayhe died, looking at the weather, the grainmarket and cattlemarket. I remember him as a

very friendly personwho never saw a stranger. He was on the township board.He was an assessor the

township. He served on the school board, it seems like for years. He always tookus to church and taughtSunday schoo l class andwas superintendent ofSunday Schoo l. I remember him singing to us kids, and

bouncingus up and down onhis knees. He could also play rough. Iwouldget out ofthe rough stuff. He wentto church withGrandpa Lane. Hiswife had died so he came home almost every Sundaywithus . I remember

laying on the ground under the trees in the yard to listen to Dad andGrandpa te l l stories ofhorse trades andmen thatworked for them and things oftheir childhood. I always like this. I never remember dad ormotherhavinganargument, but dad teasedmother alot. He thought an idle kidwas one in trouble, so he hadworkforus all, but he workedhard too himse lf. Through the 3o's times were very hard for themas they lost twochildren.My parents encouraged all ofus to go to high schoo l and to workhard.As Dad gotmore crippledwith arthritis and couldn't do so many physical things, he spentmore andmore time studying the Bible. He

also did some gardening, standing on crutches as he worked.

He had allkinds ofsayings and songs he could recite to us. One that I remember: There's so much goodin the worst ofus and so much bad in the best ofus ; it ill behoves any ofus to ta lk about the rest ofus . He

always toldhis grandkids, your dad is a laddybuck.He eats deadpig. Ofcourse he got a de lightwhen theywould argue , "No he doesn‘t." He sti ll loved the farmand land until the dayhe died.

Shewas born inN ortonvil le, KS andmoved several times as she wasgrowingup.When Grandma andGrandpamoved to Ozawkie therewas no high school in that city soMotherwent to high school atWaldo ,

KS, stayingwith fii ends andmilldrigcows for her room and board. She

worked at the Omwkie State Bankwhen shemoved there andmetmy dad, Joe Frost. There weremarried in1915. He hadworked as a te lephone lineman for his parents and also had learned to barber fromhis father.He bought the barber shop in Ozawlo

'

We didnot see our relatives often, as they lived away fromus andwe didn't have a car. Every year onGrandpa

'

s birthday in July and after he died, onGrandma’s birthday in June, dad rented a car and tookmomand I for aweek’s visit. Itwas a fun time, seeing cousins, aunts and uncles as wel l as Grandma andGrandpa.

There were alot ofspecial things for a "town-kid" to do. GoingwithAunt Stellawhen shemilked and

squirtedmilk to the cats was great. I never got the hang ofmilking! I lovedGrandpa'smustache since he wasthe only one Iknew thathad one.

'

ll never forgetAunt Stel la'swonderful choco late cake andthe homemade ice cream. Therewas always so much good food the Aunts brought to the birthday dinners.

For breakfast there was grahammuffins and they drank Postum.

I rememberwhenGrandma andGrandpa lived in the bighouse. Iwas quite smal l andwhenever itstormed, and it usual ly did at least once while wewere there, Grandpa sent everyone to the caven day or

Melvinwill just have to blow away, I guess.

"Fortunately nothinghappened. Grandpahad been in or near a

bad stormandwas very concerned about "cyclones". The cave was always nice and clean with the creamseparator and food (it served as the frig) down there. I liked going down into the cave, itwas coo l andsmel led good tome.

WWI VETERAN ,WIFECELEBRATE 70 YEARS : (Cleveland Dail Banner, Sunday, January 10, 1993)"

Chatham recal ls serving duringwar"Recently celebratinghis 96th birthday,WorldWar IUS .Navy veteran Jesse Floyd Chatham andhis

wife, Amanda, will celebrate their 7oth anniversaryMay 6.

Theymoved to Cleveland fromCabot, Ark., onMay 5, 1991 due to Amanda's declininghealth and to be

near some oftheir children. Oftheir 1 1 children, eight are now loving and three ofthem reside in Cleve landalongwith several grandchildren and three great-grandchi ldren.

According to area veteran organizations, Chatham is one ofonly three other survivingBradley Courtians

65


who areWorldWar I veterans .

Chatham, who turned 96 on Jan. 5, is a native ofKansas and lived there when the United States declaredwar on Germany onApril 6, 191 7. He thenjoined the U.S . Navy onMarch 1 , 191 8, due to his father, anativeofMary landwho had served in the MerchantMarines in the Chesapeake Bay and along the U.S. Emern

coast, encouraginghim to fol low inhis footsteps.Chatham traveled to Kansas City,Mo., to join the navy.Hawas then sent to Great Lakes training station

for basic training.He did quietwel l in his grades andwas given an opportrmity to go toAnnapo lis and tohave a naval career but he Opted to only stay for the duration ofthewar as he had committed to when joiningtheNavy.

Chathamwas then sent to NewportNews, VA for further training to be a Signalman on a ship. Hewas

then assigned to a troop transport ship, the U.S.S. Huron. This ship hadbeen confiscated fromthe GermansinNewYork Harbor (theyhad cal led it Frederick the Great).

The transport shipChatham sailed on trave led in a convoywhile carrying troops to France, butwereal lowed to go on their own at a fast speed on the return trips bringingbackwounded troops. Chathamwastold that on the trip precedinghis assignment to the U.S.S.Huron, aGerman submarine had sunk thre e shipsin the convoy on theway to France. They usually traveledwith abattle-cruiser in front ofthe convoy, a battlecruiser on the lefi side and another on the right, and a submarine chaser in the rear, with eight to 1 3 shipsusual lymakingup a convoy.

In one harrowingexperience, Chathamrem-bets hewas on dutyhigh in the lookout positionwhen aGerman submarinewas spotted coming to the surface in themiddle ofthe convoy.He said the Germans wereno doubtmixedup and probably had intended to be offto one side ofthe ship ahead, whichwas full ofwarmaterials, andprobably hoped to fire upon it without being spotted or at least to be out ofrange ofmost ofthe convoy ships

'

guns.Instead, they were comingup in the very Spot theymost wanted to avoid (their periscopewas above

water). They quickly started to submerge andChatham saidhe saw some ofthe poorest shootinghe had eversee as all the ships were firing at the submarine but none were hitting itwith their bigguns. Finally, a torpedowas fired and evidently found its target as pieces ofthe submarine then surfaced.

Another even on the high seas that put fear in Chathamwas a tern'

ble storm one nightwhen thewavesseemed to be nearly as high as themast and several lifeboats thatwere tied downwithheavy ropeswereripped from theirmoorings.

On aboutNov. 9, 191 8, as theywere sailing towardN ewport N ews, Chatham said they heard rumors of

an armistice soon to be signed. Theywere about 300miles out ofport onNov. 1 1 when all the ships whistlesstarted blowing and continued for quiet some time, signaling the cease fire.Ten days later, the GermanNavy

Chathammade three ore trips to bringback troops before hewas discharged h'

om the Navy onMarch 5,1919.He returnedhome to Kansas to firewithhis brother Royfor awhile .He thenbought anewFord forabout $550 andhad about $ 1000 withwhich he bought abarber shop that he Operated for a couple ofyears.Then, hemarriedAmandaGoodell, so ld the shop, and bought a farm.

While farming inKansas, the couple's first two childrenwere born. They thenmoved toMissouri,continued to farm, and their next four childrenwere born there.

They also became greatly invo lved in churchwork after being saved in a local revival he ldjointlyby theMethodist andBaptist churches in 193 1 . They later joinedwhat is now lmown as the Church ofGod of

Alter theybothbecameministers in the church, theymoved to Iowa in 1937 to help in anewfield for thechurch. The last five oftheir childrenwere born in Iowa. There, they organized anewchurch in Boon, Iowa,andpastored several other churches beforemoving to Texas in 1953.Afier pestering three churches there,theymoved to Arkansas in 1960 and pastored two churches before retiring in1 966.

AlthoughChathamretired frompastoring, he served as district overseer, supplypastor, andhelped inmany other capacities rmtil about two years ago whenAmanda's health failed andhe hadto stayhomewithher.

Chathamhas been teaching a Sunday School class tmtil two years ago, andhewas still drivinghis caruntilMay 5, 199 1 , whenhe moved to Cleveland.He saidhe would then leave the driving to his son, Don.

The couple live with Don.

Since then he has broken his hip and nowwalks with awalker, but is still quiet alert.Chatham

'

s three children and their spouses inCleve land are: John andwife Dean; Joe; andDon and

Chathamvisited Clevelandmany times since 1932, as he came here for his church’s general assemblies.

66


He also had three lengthy stays here completing three terms ofthe church’s institute for Bible training. He has

grown to known and like Cleveland over the years and notes the climate ismuch like he enjoyed inArkansasfrom 1960 to 1991 .

He said that his wife Amanda has been his greatest asset to him in life and in his ministry and attri buteshis long life to his Christian heritage and the biblical promise of long life for honoring one's parents .

HistorywrittenbyMax, Beth, Richard, Robert, children ofRalph (Mike) Chatham and Izora (Fouts)

We all rememberGrandpa attempting to catchus with his woodenwalking cane as he sat inhis rocker inthe livingroomby the floor furnace. Grandpa smoked a pipe but on special occasions our dadwouldbringhima cigar to smoke. Grandpawas very good handling an axe, chopping and splittingwood.When hewas inhis 7o

'

s be cleared a huge hedge row across the highway onChester Erhart’s property.

Grandma Chathamwas a special person, smal l in structure butmighty in her influence. She couldquotemore Bib le verses than anybodywe knew and she lived by everyone ofthem. Grandmawould turn inbyradio to the gospe l speakers and supported themfinancially on her limited income.Gardeningwas a bigpart

ofher life. She spentmany anhour wearingher son-bonnet, planting, caring, andharvesting the seasonalcrops. Canning the bountiful vegetables and link from the trees was an important year ly task. Butwhatwonderfulmeals Grandma andAunt Stel la couldproduce from their small acreage. Speaking ofa strong

influence- whenGrandma passed away at the age of94, she had 1 25 livingblood descendants andnearly100% didnot smoke or drink.

Aunt Ste lla, sometimes cal led Shorty, was awork-a-ho lic. Shewas always on the go,mowing the lawn,working in the garden, milking the cow,

feed the chickens , cleaning the house, or fixing ameal . She couldcarry a full heavy sack ofga in over her shoulder all the way to the barn. Stellawas "

a saint"in caring for

Grandpa and Grandma thosemanyyears .We remember her agility as she wouldjump offtheir five foot frontporch, running to return something to youbefore youreachedyour car parked at the iron gate along thehighway. N one ofus wi l l ever forget the de licious layer cakes that she would alwaysmake with that secrethomemade filling and icing. Using rich cream and real butter were always the basic ingredients .

Remember hermany stores she could tel l about all her brothers, sisters andmany ofher nieces andnephews ; how she wouldhave that big laugh andwould slap her hand on her knee as she to ld the story.

We all remember the windmill pumpingwater north ofthe house and the wind charger producingjustenough e lectricity to produce avery dim light for night reading. Remember the large honeysuckle vine on thenorth side ofthe front porch and the excitinghunts thatweremade for the four-leafclovers that grewabundantly on the front lawn.We also remember the attemoon bal l games played on the hunt lawn afterconsuming a largemeal.

Grandpa passed away Feb. 13, 1940 at the age of87. Grandma leftus Oct. 20, 1955 at the age of94.

Stellawas 92 years ofage when she passed away.All three are buried side by side in theHarveyvilleCemetery.

Eulogy for Vernon Chathamby

George Chatham, His Oldest SonAlthough our Dadworkedhard all his life as aRancher andFarmer and that is a very rich partofour

heritage thatwe are all proud of, Dadwas more than aRancher andFarmer. Livestock, buildings, andultimately the landwill pass away, put hopefully whatmyDadproduced inus his Children andGrandChildren,wil l not pass away. The real lastingheritage ofmyDadwas his character and the character he andMomhe lp to reproduce inus his chi ldren. In this day andage inwhich character and integrity is so often lost,myDadwas themost honest and real person I have ever known.Hewas never two fawdwith anyone.What

yousawwas what yougot. Ifhe gave youhis word, he kept his word.

Themost importantperson in the worldwas Jesus Christ tomyDad.His favorite verse in the BiblewasMatthew “

But seek firsthis kingdomandhis righteousness, and all these thingswill be given to youaswell.”MyDad didn’

tjust claim those words, he lived out those words in his priorities of1ife .

'

Thus, Churchwas more important that finishing the field onWednesday evening or getting the harvest in on Stmday.As a

result the lasting legacy ofmyDad, wil l not be the fewhumblematerial things he left behind, but the eternalldngdombe invested allhis life in. Althoughwe allwil lmiss himterr ibly, this day is not a day ofhopelessness, but a day ofcelebration.We nowhave someoneup in heaven, cheeringus on to that great daywhenwe all can be together again.
