2. This is the wife and sons of John Calvin Caudill-John and several of their children died in some type of epidemic around 1882-1883. Our great great grandmother, Larkie Woodle, Medley died September 15, 1892 (choked to death on a sweet potato, mom said) at age (about 81) I (accidently) found a marriage cert. in Surry Co. where Great grandpa John Quincy Medley married Susan Caudill, daughter of John Tilly & Mrs Tilly. on February 28, 1893 (5 months after Larkie died) On the 1900 Surry Co. census John & Susan Medley have been married 7 years. Two of Susan's sons are living with them. Ruffin age 16 & Joseph age 20 and Joseph's wife, Mary. In the early 1900's John Quincy Medley's daughter Mary Ann & her husband, William Cook with their large family, left Surry Co. and after spending about a year or so in Terre Hawke, IND and a few months in ARK wound up in Greeley County, Wolback, Nebraska, where we also find some of Susan Caudill's sons. After all her children were grown and left home, Susan left John Quincy and lived with one of her children where she died in 1919 in Alleghany Co., NC. Her death sert. says Susan Caudle or Caudill and no mention is ever made of her marriage to John Quincy Medley. Had it not been for a Marriage record accidently found- the 1900 Surry Co. census and an old notebook of grandpa's that had the sentence written in the margin " Susan left here and a date" noone would ever have known of our STEP Great Great Grandma. Madge Caudle, Bloom A descendant of Ruffin Winfield CAUDLE-somewhere the name got changed, sent me this photograph of Susan and five of her sons. Somewhere I have the order they are in. I don't have any Information on Alfred(Alf) born abt 1865 so I think he probably died earlier.

1. Henry and Elizabeth are buried in the Caudill Cemetery, Morehead, KY (N 38° 10.080' W 83° 26.506'). Henry's grandson, Kelly Caudill, relates that Henry's father died young, so he took over as head of the family and thus married later for his time. While visiting the DeBoard family, Henry saw a red-headed daughter spinning at the spinning wheel. He went home and wrote her a letter proposing marriage and on his next trip married her. What a courtship. Henry had a fine farm and being an excellent craftsman he set out to build a home. Hand planing the lumber he built it himself. Two of his children, Stephen and David, were born during the house building stage. He was a very calm and serious man.

4. Quoting from Edmond’s Obituary – 11/2/1929 – "Edmond Caudle died … at his home about one mile east of Peachland, after a long period of declining health. He had been confined to his bed for many months…. Mr. Caudle was 89 and a half years old. His long life was useful and well spent, and he had the highest esteem of all who knew him.
Mr. Caudle was a son of Richard Caudle, and in early manhood he was married to Miss Margaret Covington [the article states "Redfearn" in error], who died in 1913. He is survived by four sons … and by several grand-children. This family is most dutiful. Their mother was an invalid for several years before her death, and the service rendered to her, as well as that rendered to their father in his long illness, was beautiful.
Mr. Caudle was a faithful and loyal Confederate soldier for four years, and later was as faithful in all the relations of life as he was as a soldier. He was a loyal member of Lawyers Spring Primitive Baptist Church, and died in the triumph of the Christian faith. He was the last surviving member of Company K, 43rd N.C. Regiment, which was organized here in the early days of the Civil War by Captain James Boggan.
The funeral was held at the Caudle home Sunday afternoon by Elder J.R. Wilson, and the body was laid to rest by the side of his wife in Covington cemetery [Caudle-Covington Cemetery]. The high esteem in which Mr. Caudle and his family were held was manifested by the large concourse of people present at the services and by the mound of beautiful flowers that covered the graves.
The pall bearers were C.P. Griffin, E.C. Jones, J.C. Caudle, James C. Beeman, J.B. Covington, and H.M. Baucom."

2. Frances Caudill was attached to John as father because she appears in his household in 1850. This is likely an error but I can't figure out who her parents are or if she went by a name other than Frances. Winnie Crabb would have been too young to be her mother.

1. In 1900, Shade and Nancy Caudle are living in Walnut Grove Twp. Wilkes County NC in close proximity to Shade's father, James Harrison Caudill, and Nancy's father, Ruffin Caudill. Shade and Nancy were cousins. By 1910, Shade and Nancy relocated just a few miles away to Traphill, Wilkes Co., NC in Wilkes County.
________________________________________________________________
2. Tradition has it that Shade and Nancy eloped during the middle of the night against the wishes of the families. Shade and Nancy changed the spelling of the surname to Caudle.
________________________________________________________________
3. Shade and Nancy relocated to Lunenburg County Virginia in late 1918 or 1919. Shade's son Matthew Cornelius Caudle told the family he was 18 when they moved.
________________________________________________________________
4. Shade was shot to death in Lunenburg County and left on the train tracks where he was hit by a train. Matthew Cornelius Caudle states to the family that he was 23 when his father was killed which makes the year 1923 or 1924.
________________________________________________________________
5. "Supposedly, he was murdered because he was running moonshine and selling more than other local men. According to my mom (Shade's granddaughter), his body was tossed on some railroad tracks. Of course the train ran over him and this was done to hide the fact that he had been murdered. Interesting enough, this story came to her from Nancy Jane. When I got in touch with Betty and Linda (who are related by Shade's son Levi), they confirmed the story. They even claim that the man who murdered Shade got in touch with Levi to come visit him as he was dying and made a death bed confession that he had killed Shade. I know Levi was involved in running moonshine and had to leave the state for about 10 years or so over it, so its very possible that he would be connected, or know of other people in the business--so, I don't find the death bed confession odd. I believe it was most likely never pursued by the law because it did involve illegal activities. That's about all I know at this point." .... Pamela Wilmoth (March 2005).

1. JESSE P. CAUDILL. A community usually takes on the character and reflects the enterprise of its inhabitants. A town that grows, that gets new business, that extends its facilities of education and betters its living conditions, is always the home of a group of men who believes in and practice progress in their own affairs and in public spirited co-operation. One of the men who has made Protection one of the best towns of Southwestern Kansas is Jesse P. Caudill, who for a number of years was a progressive real estate dealer there, equally prominent in the civic affairs, and is a practical farmer and still engaged in the real estate business. Mr. Caudill came to Kansas as a permanent settler in 1900, and has been a resident of Comanche County since the 27th of September of that year. He is of an old Kentucky family, and was born near Whiteburg, not far from Cumberland Gap, in Letcher County of that state September 18, 1859. He grew up in Rowan County near Morehead, his boyhood being spent on a farm. He attended common schools at Elliottsville, and worked and was in the schoolroom off and on until he reached his majority. After that he lived with his widowed mother on the farm until 1885, when, unmarried and alone, he came out to Kansas, stopping at Holton. He was without capital, and as his experience was that of a farmer he found his first work as a farm hand at $18 a month. He worked on different farms in that part of the state for five years and then went back to Kentucky, where he married, and lived there five years more as a tenant farmer. On coming to Kansas in 1900 Mr. Caudill drove through with a team and wagon to Barber County, and at Hazelton engaged in the hotel business. For six years he was the genial proprietor of the European Hotel, and he not only conducted a good place of public entertainment, but acquired a general knowledge of the country and the people. On selling the hotel he came to Protection May 6, 1906, and here entered the real estate field. At that time property values were beginning to increase, as a result of the new tide of home seekers. Mr. Caudill organized the Bluff Creek Valley Real Estate Company, and through the extension of the connections of this firm did much to promote emigration. Mr. Caudill gave all his time to the real estate business for nine years. One of his largest fields was the sale of the Turkey Track ranch of 9,150 acres for $10 an acre. Since then he has sold much of this ranch in smaller tracts for $30 an acre, and he personally owns a quarter section of that famous ranch. Mr. Caudill is credited with planning and carrying out the movement which brought about the incorporation of the Town of Protection. It was a matter of importance to get the town into the rank of incorporated communities, and how it was done brings up a few items of real Kansas history. A special act of the Legislature had to be passed reducing the population requirements by fifty. Even then Protection could not muster enough inhabitants to fulfill the rule. Finally a Mennonite family of sixteen persons came to the county for the purpose of settling, and Mr. Caudill used his persuasion effectively to get them to move into a house on the townsite on Saturday evening. Early Monday morning he appeared before the Board of County Commissioners with proof showing that Protection had a few more than 200 inhabitants, and persistently waged the cause until the act of incorporation was applied to the community. After that Mr. Caudill was a member of the Town Council six years. This council busied itself with much progressive improvements, including the draining and grading of streets and building of sidewalks. Another act was the granting of a franchise by the council to C. C. Towner for a period of twenty years to install a light plant.
After much of the land around Protection was sold and occupied by homesteaders, Mr. Caudill gradually retired from the real estate business to the extent of taking up farming on his own account. In politics he was reared a democrat and cast his first presidential ballot for General Hancock. He has been an active leader of his party in Comanche County. In 1908 he was candidate for the Lower House of the Legislature, and was defeated by seven votes in a county normally republican by a majority of 450. In 1914 he was again his party's candidate, and defeated the republican incumbent by twenty-seven votes. During the next session he served under Speaker Robert Stone, and was made chairman of the committee on mileage and member of the committees of roads and highways, fish and game, and others. He contributed his efforts towards increasing the effectiveness of prohibition laws in Kansas, introducing a bill which would have made it compulsory for county clerks to publish the names of all persons receiving intoxicating liquors. This bill passed the House by eighty-seven votes, but was defeated in the committee room of the Senate. In 1916 Mr. Caudill was returned to the House by a majority of 796. Under Speaker Keene he was a member of the judiciary, claims and accounts, rules of the house committee and others, and supported the movement and measure to make Kansas a "bone dry state." Mr. Caudill is affiliated with both branches of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, is a Scottish Rite Mason with membership in the Wichita Consistory, and is also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. He and his family are Baptists. The Caudill family is of Scotch-Irish stock and were pioneer settlers in North Carolina and also in pioneer times moved across the line into Eastern Kentucky. Mr. Caudill's grandfather, Samuel Caudill, spent all his life in Kentucky as a farmer. He furnished two sons for the Confederate service. Samuel Caudill married a Miss Maggard. He died in Rowan County, Kentucky, in 1884, at the age of eighty-five. He had a large number of children, and one of the oldest was Rev. Henry Caudill, father of Jesse P. Rev. Henry Caudill was born in Letcher County, Kentucky, and acquired a good education and spent his life as a minister of the Baptist Church. He was a southern man in sentiment but owned no slaves. He died in Rowan County February 7, 1882, at the age of fifty-two. He married Elizabeth Short, daughter of Charles and Ann (Mullins) Short. She survived him many years and passed away in 1912. Her large family of children consisted of the following: Sallie, who married Henry Gregory, of Moorehead, Kentucky; David, who died in Fleming County, Kentucky; John, of Antigo, Wisconsin; Rebecca, wife of W. W. Williams, of Elliottsville, Kentucky; Anna, who married B. F. Parker, of Preston, Kentucky; William B., of Portsmouth, Ohio; Jesse P.; Margaret, who married H. E. Porter and died at Elliottsville; Dan P., of Muses Mills, Kentucky; James W. who died in young manhood; Jane, who married John Pennington, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; Henry, of Kankakee, Illinois; Florence, who married Jack Stacey and died in Kentucky; Susie, who married William Porter, of New Mexico; and Sanford, who died in Kentucky, leaving a family. After his return from Kansas as above noted Jesse P. Caudill married, August 31, 1891, Miss Lulu Goodan, daughter of William F. and Queen (Nickell) Goodan. Mrs. Caudill was one of two children, her sister being Mrs. Kate Pearsoll, wife of C. P. Pearsoll of Gage, Oklahoma. The only son of Mr. and Mrs. Caudill is Clyde, who is now serving his country and is stationed at Harvard University as radio operator and in training having finished his term at Dinwiddie Institute, Minneapolis, in sixty days, just half the time allotted by the Government.

1. Joseph helped to lay out the town of Whitesburg and was elected Judge of Letcher County afterwards. He settled on Dry Fork of Kentucky River, Letcher County, KY.
The following is from the Letcher Heritage News (September 1993 issue, page 48):
Will of Joseph E. Cornett
December, the 20th day, 1889.
I, J. E. Cornett of the county of Letcher and State of Kentucky, thought proper to make the following distribution of my bounder and tract of land on the Dry Fork of the Kentucky River in the folowing manner to wit: I divide the same in three equil parts between Iry Stampers wife to make them equil with their brothers that has had their parts and had the benefits of the same all had rights in their parts. I paid Elihu Maggard's wife up in land wher johns son now lives and they have no more to do in my landed Estate nor nothing else unless after a thorough settlement the balance of the childerns share is a surplis left then let them have their part. I want all the living children to see that Rachels heirs gits ther parts. I hope James Back will attend to ther case for them. Now I will say I want the husbands of the girls to pay the tax on the land and relieve me of the burden. Further, I will say that if any of the children takes care of us they must be paid for the same out of the timber on the said land or otherwise out of the personly property and they must account for what I have paid them in cash. I want to take an equil balance among my children though some hant done much for me yet. I want to have all even near as I can.
You will find in a little day book title cow book in my trunk on page 1 and 2. Now I can't tell when I have to leave and thought it right to make things safe. I owe no debts and wants no administration on my estate when I am gone but all settle accorden as I have laid it down and all will be rite. There is a large abount of timbre on said land which I may have to use, the land is the object now I meant to attend to.
(Later, He Added The Following)
March the 20th, 1890
I thought this morning I was taken the dred desise Lagripe and being sick and not expecting to live I thought I would say what I wanted doen with my property that is my land. I want the three girls to have it or enough to make them even with the boys and let me dye when I will. I want them even so this is the same as a deed to them and I want them to have good deeds made as I have made all the boys deeds to thers. I hope they will cherfuly make the same. Ther mother will sine all the deeds.

1. Mother (Rhoda C. Blevins Caudill) was low of stature, more short and heavy built than my father. She also had fair complexion, blue eyes, real dark brown hair. My father was more of a mild temper than mother was. She was as much interested in her children as a mother could be in what she thought best for us. There was no limit to the sacrifice she would make that was not beyond her ability. But she expected and demanded strict obedience and as a usual thing we knew better than to disobey. If we did something happened. I remember very well how much I felt I must be subject to my parents. I remember one especially.

1. NATHANIEL LAFFOON Private, Virginia
Microfilm #M804, Roll #1512 (Joseph Lafar to __?__)
8813 INVALID No. 8813 NATHANIEL LAFFOON PRI. REV. WAR ACT: JUNE 7TH, '32 INDEX: VOL. ? N ? Page 215
(Arrangement of 1870) State of North Carolina Warren County
Court of Please & Quarter Session August Term, 1832
On this 27th day of August 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of Said Court, now sitting, it being a Court of Record -- Nathaniel Laffoon (of said county) aged 86 years who having first duly sworn, according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed 7th June 1832 to wit -- That sometime in the fall of the year 1780 being then a resident of the County of Lunenburg, State of Virginia, he was drafted as a militia during the war. That he was called out to service, he thinks, for six months and met, as well as he remembers, At Lunenubrg Court House on the 16th October in that year, and attached to the Regiment under Col. John Glenn of Lunenburg. From thense they marched to Hillsboro, N. Carolina -- where they met other militia and Regulars whose officers he does not recollect except Col. James Lucas of the Brunswick Militia -- remained here two or three weeks, -- then marched to Salisburg, N.C.
wading in (and out?) Mair River and Deep River -- then to Charlottesville -- where I was left as one of the sick -- and was carried back to Salisbury in a wagon with others -- after having been absent a week and of acting in a condition to travel, I was marched to Charan Hill on Pedee River -- after a short stay there, where I again joined my Regiment, on the 26th January 1781, as well as I remember we resumed our March for the purpose of returning to Salisbury -- but within about fifteen miles of this place, we received orders to cross the Yadkins at [Fland] Ford about seven miles from the Town -- where it was expected the British would attempt to cross -- when we arrived at the ferry, so many Americans were crossing we were detained on the Hill till next day when we were able to cross over. After we got over we found on this side several hundred prisoners whom, I understand, Genl. Morgan had taken shortly before at the battle of the Cowpens -- In his march to this place we saw a Genl. officer on horseback pass along the lines -- which we understood, was Genl. Green. From thence we marched to Guilford Court House -- remained overnight -- and set off for Albemarle Barracks in Virginia -- but after one days march my feet and legs were so swollen I could not travel and permission was given me to return home. I got home the last day of February 1781. After we had crossed the Yadkins at Fland Ford, as mentioned above -- The Enemy made his appearance on the other Bank. We were drawn up in a line on this side remained under arms all night. In the morning a few fires were exchanged across the River -- and the Enemy marched off up the River.
In the next June, about the 20th, I think, (for I had not long finished in seding corn the first time) I was called out again to service six weeks -- met at Lunenburg Court House under the command of Capt. [Neg] Ragsdale whos Brother William Ragsdale was a Lieutenant in another company. We were marched through Cumberland County & crossed James River near the [Marine barrick?] -- and through Powhatan County and by way of Richmond through Henrico County to a place near James Town, Virginia, where we were stationed about a week. In our march _____ we joined a great many troups after we crossed James River. I saw a great many Generals officers, but cannot speak confidently of their names -- one, I think, was called General or Col. [Lanis/Louis?] or Francis was camp near James Town. We marched and joined this army which I was told was Genl. Washington's Army. We marched with them one day. When I was discharged -- having performed my six weeks Tours it was not long after I got home before I heard of the Surrender of Cornwallis at Little Fork.
This affiant is eighty-six years old. He has no Register of his age. He was born in Brunswick Virginia -- his parents moved while he was very young to Lunenburg, where this affiant resided during the War and many years after it. He has lived in N. Carolina about twenty six years -- the first four in Wake - the residue of the time in the County of Warren aforesaid.
He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present -- and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any state. He knows of no person -- by whose personal knowledge he can prove his services -- and has no documentary evidence of them. He does not recollect that he recd any written discharge -- if he did he has lost or mislaid it.
Sworn to in open Court

1. On the west side of the house (pg 14) stood the old grainery and a big wood shed made by the roof extending several feet from the grainery. My father would haul wagon loads of black walnuts and put them up on the floor overhead of where the grain was kept. They would get dry and we did enjoy them in the winter time. On west from the house was a trail that led gradually up to the top of the hill where the family graveyard was. My grandmother (Jane Susan Wood Caudill ), my aunt Frances Gambill and my little sister Lydia which was only seventeen months (?) were buried there.

1. One of the earliest memories of my life (Martha Frances Caudill) was the death of my Grand mother (Jane Susan Wood Caudill, aka: Jinnie or Virginia), my father’s mother, which was sudden. It made quite an impression on my mind. Her death occurred ( Mar 1882) in the early spring before my fourth birthday. There was no such thing as an undertaker or hearse. The body was kept in the house until time for the burial which was usually the 3rd day unless conditions were so it could not be kept. The coffin was homemade and was considered very much uncharitable if any charge was made, so a coffin maker got no pay for his work. (pg 3) There was a low bed that was set in the large room with a tallow candle burning at the head of the bed. The neighbors would come in and set up all night, usually sing most of time. And when time came for the burial the corpse was carried by four men walking very slowly and singing softly while the family and relatives followed. | WOOD, Jane Susan (I9244)

2. NEW RIVER NEWS:
Obituary of Elder Enoch Reeves
In compliance with the request of the Mountain District Old School Baptist Association, convened at Good Hope Church, Carroll county, Va.: the undersigned begs leave to submit the subject of this Memoir, or, short Biography of Elder Enoch Reeves, son of George and Jane Reeves, born in the county of Grayson and state of Virginia, June the 18th, 1801. His father died when he was about ten years of age he then had to commence steering his little boat of life, on the tempestuous sea of time, a fatherless boy, mingling and co-mingling, in and with cold charities of the world, to some extent, like an Abraham of old, not knowing wither he went; yet, the right hand of the Omnipotence of that God, that had promised to be a father to the fatherless, was not slack concerning his promises, as some men count slackness, but as a Divine protector and benefactor, gently, and parentially led him from childhood to manhood.
In his youth he was stout and hearty, somewhat reckless, and feared nothing of an earthly nature. His conduct in his young days, proved the veracity of the Word of God, that he was dead in trespasses and in sin. After he was grown, he paid his respects to Miss Mary McMillan, daughter of John McMillan, a family of wealth and respectability; was married in May, 1821; raised a large family of sons and daughters.
In, or about the year 1836, it pleased the Lord to alarm him and arouse his soul to a sense of duty, the eye of the mind and understanding being opened, by the energy of the Divine Spirit, and grace, given us, as Paul says, "In Christ Jesus before the world was." He saw like the Prodigal Son, began to be in want, and discovered that he was in a land of famine. His former associates were no longer his intimate friends, because the time and the set time had come, for at this time will I come and Sarah shall have a son. From that time, which was the Lord's time, like Saul of Tarsus for several days he fasted and mourned over a hard heart, and miss spent time. In this condition he went to Piney Creek church, where the brethren were preparing a stand, and seats for the Association, intending to help them; but to speak his own language, his heart was so burthended and troubled on account of unpardoned sin, that instead of helping the brethren, he was constrained to repair to the grove, and endeavor to pour out his soul, or complaint unto Him who hears the cry of the penitent.
The association commenced in a few days from that time and sometime during the session of the same, we have reason to believe that the Lord spake peace to his soul, or, commanded the wind, and rolling billows of the troubles of his soul, to be still, and there was a calm and immediately the ship was at the destined shore; mercy and truth met together, peace and righteousness kissed each other, justice was satisfied, eternal wisdom made the display of the seven Divine communicable attributes, centering in the five wounds of the suffering, dead, buried, risen and ascended Savior. It was then that Christ, the hope of glory was formed in his soul, old things were done away, and all things pertaining to his soul's salvation became new, the strong man that was armed and kept the palace of the heart was bound, his armor wherein he trusted all taken away and the spoil divided; it was then that the "wind blowed where it listed and thou hearest the sound thereof but canst not tell whence it cometh nor wither it goeth, So is every one that is born of the Spirit. The Apostle Paul says: "ye are dead and your life hid with Christ in God.
A short time after this perhaps in 1838, Enoch Reeves went to Old Elk Creek church, and when the opportunity was offered, by the church door being opened, in the Primitive or, Old School form, he proceeded to discharge that solemn duty that he conscientiously believed he owed to God by professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, or relating the travel of his mind from nature to grace, believing that he had been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the marvelous light and glorious liberty of God's dear Son; the church received him heartily.
Soon after Bro. Reeves began to labor under deep and serious impressions of an indispensable duty to God and man, in proclaiming life and salvation, in the name of Jesus Christ, or the promulgation of the Gospel. After he was legally baptized and breaking his mind to the church, on the 4th Saturday in May, 1841, they licenses him to exercise a public gift of exhortation. During that year the church considered his gift profitable; and in October, 1841 he was regularly ordained after a thorough examination of the extent of his gift, and the orthodox principles of faith once delivered to the saints, by the imposition of hands and prayer by the presbytery, to wit: Hiram Sizemore, Henry Vanover and Tobias Long, being liberated and set apart to the declaration of the word and ordinances. Notwithstanding he was wealthy, and married into a wealthy family; he began, in the most humble manner, to define the primitive faith predicated on the Old and New Testament Scripture, which is the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. He had many dear relations belonging to the Methodist order, he always tried, plainly, in plain language to convince them of an error. Elder Enoch Reeves was soon called to the pastoral care of his own church, and also several of the sister churches for many years. His labors were greatly blessed, many of the saints were edified; mourners encouraged and sinners alarmed. He rode through heat and cold, wet and dry, far and near, with unwavering confidence and unyielding energy. Notwithstanding his limited education, there were few if any, that excelled him in his day; he was punctual in attending his appointments any season of the year, all kinds of weather, regardless of time or distance.
In 1852 he was installed pastor of Old Crooked Creek church in Carroll county, Va., and would frequently ride from his home to that place, about 28 or 30 miles, by 12 or 1 o'clock on church day, the brethren, sisters and neighbors would wait patiently fully believing he would be there in time to preach for them, which he did; never disappointing, unless providentially hindered.
In July 1852 the undersigned became convinced of his duty to God and man, and on the 3rd Saturday in August (in the same year) he went to Crooked Creek church to hear Elder Enoch Reeves preach. There was in attendance a large and attentive congregation; Bro. Reeves preached, or the Lord through him made known the way of life and salvation, indeed, the place became both sweet and awful on account of the royal presence of an Omnipotent heart-searching prayer-hearing and sin-pardoning God, in the demonstration of the Holy Spirit; to convey or accompany His Word to the secret recesses of the hearts of His children; to make them rejoice in hope, confirm them in the faith of the Son of God, and to run through the dark sad lonely valleys and caverns of the dead faculties of the minds of poor sinners; he arouse them to a sense of their duty to their Creator, to lead the blind in a way that they had not known and in paths that they had not seen, to make crooked ways straight, and rough ways smooth, to cause the desert to blossom as the rose; and the thirsty land to become a pool. Ethiopia to stretch out her arm, and the isles of the sea to wait on the Lord.
After dismission, the writer of this Memoir, as a stranger to all his mother's children, and to Bro. Reeves, walked up to him and told him this: "On to morrow I want you to baptize me," which he did after the church was called together and heard the relation of faith, on motion, the right hand of fellowship given him, we went down into the water and the burial and the likeness of the Resurrection took place, both came straightway up out of the water and he went on his way rejoicing; that night was a precious night indeed. In the fall of the same year, Bro. Reeves baptized a goodly number into the fellowship of old Crooked-Creek church and others; afterwards, Elder Reeves and Henry Vanover baptized upwards of seventy persons in New river near the mouth of Brush creek, Grayson county, in one day; a memorable scene indeed. Bro. Reeves did not seem to be exalted in prosperity, or depressed in adversity; he had a great many earthly friends, and some enemies; he always was frank, free and determined, in word and actions, before both friends and foes, in preaching, exhorting, or the transaction of church business, or domestic concerns. He was regarded as an honorable man by all classes, sects and denominations; unyielding in religious, domestic and social circles until convinced of an error, then, perhaps no one was more ready or willing to make acknowledgements, or amends for wrongs done or sins committed than he was. He was a defender of truth he was delegated by his church, to the Association every year as long as he lived; and by the Association, as a corresponding delegate to sister and neighboring Associations.
He stood upon the platform of the Old and New Testament Scriptures as the only rule of faith and practice, by and with them he defended the rights of the church against all the new systems or "isms" of the day; he opposed the modern Missionary enterprises, throughout the bounds of his travels and extent of his acquaintance. He was really a noble hearted man, his smoke- house and corn-crib was opened often to supply the wants of the poor. he was industrious, labored with his own hands to supply the necessities of his family and them around him; he was never a charge upon the church, but his house was a home for the wayworn pilgrim by day or by night; we often visited his house, and whenever he or his wife knew of our approach, they would always meet and welcome us into their chambers; indeed he seemed like a Joseph in time of famine. No doubt his neighbors miss him, and his beloved wife and children can, some the, form a little group around the once familiar hearth-stone of a loving husband and father, but with reverential awe, in silence mark well the family altar that a loved one used to bow before and spread abroad the wants of himself, family and all that grace or gratitude enjoined on him to pray for. Alas! that council we could confidentially rely upon so loudly is taken away.
After laboring in his Master's vineyard for a period of 33 years and many of his brethren and sisters, that he had often preached with, and for, had passed him in the lane of life, he still stood firm and unshaken, and seemed to grow in grace, and the knowledge of the truth in Christ Jesus. As a pastor he knew no man after the flesh; he would advise the church, or churches, as he verily believed was in accordance with God's Holy will and word, fearless of what man might say or do, and we believe he was bearing about daily, the marks of the Lord Jesus, for he was actnated by the operation of the Spirit both in preaching and prayer; he professed and believed in a Divine and Holy call by the Spirit of God's dear Son to the work of the ministry, and laboring diligently under the instructions of that call, and the teachings and influences of that unerring Spirit of God, he became a prominent councillor in the churches and in the Association, and for many years was regarded by the churches and Associations in the bounds of his acquaintance, as a safe councillor; and many are yet living, who can date their experience back to some memorable time when they hear Bro. Reeves voice, having reason to believe that he was an instrument in the hands of a Mediator, in awakening them to a sense of duty to God their Creator.
Some time before his death, he attended old Crooked Creek church at their regular meeting, preached ably, and warmly; and after the transaction of the church business, Bro. Reeves insisted on the church to install Eld. B. E. Caudill pastor of that church, while he was living, telling them that the time of his departure was at hand, and bid the church farewell, and seeming to be in good health returned to his home, and was taken ill with dropsy. He labored under that disease for two or three months, many of his friends, brethren and sisters visited him during his sickness, he was very ready to speak of his future prospects of Heaven and happiness, occasionally viewing and reviewing his past course as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God, and Savior and Bishop of his soul, on whom he so long relied, stating to his friends and neighbors, that his faith and confidence was yet unshaken; while speaking of these solemn things he would praise God for Redeeming Grace. He made a request, towards the close of his earthly career, that his old Bible, that he had used so long, should be placed under his head when his body was laid away; that solemn duty was assigned to and performed by Eld. B. E. Caudill. The memorable day of his departure came; his mind seemed to be occupied in a preaching way, he was getting weak, but would preach and exhort to all that came to see him that day. From morning until evening, he seemed to be sensible of the time of his departure, he called his loving wife and children, that were present, bid them farewell telling them to meet him in Heaven, looking around on all that were present and seemed as if he wanted to bid them all farewell.
On Sunday evening June the 18th, 1871, his birthday; and 70th year of his age, he lays his armour by; so closes the earthly career of an under shepherd, and faithful minister, a noble citizen, a kind neighbor, a loving husband, and a tender father. His remains are sleeping near the old mansion where he raised hi family, and there will rest till waked by the last loud trump, when the dead shall wake up; then Bro. Reeves will rise to meet King Jesus in the midway of the air; then pastor and church, husband and wife, parents and children will meet again.

Lines by Wm. Lundy, at the request of the Mountain Association
Brother Reeves is dead and gone
To his Eternal home;
We too must soon follow on
To hear our Eternal doom.
But God Will raise him from the grave,
And unite the body with the soul
No other bliss, then will he crave
For God has made him whole.
Millions of years around may run;
He'll praise his God and friend,
He'll praise the Father and the Son,
In a world without an end.

3. The following was taken from a pamphlet written by Wilton L. Johnson, 912 Academy Ave., Belmont, CA 94002. Written about 1960, Wilton spent several years doing research and talking to older Joines Family members in NC. "Shadrick Franklin Joines, known as "Shade" Joines, was born 17 October 1840 in a large board house in Absher, Wilkes Co. North Carolina. The house is still standing but know one lives in it. Shade Joines as he was known was a well built medium size man, had almost
black hair and deep brown eyes. As a rule he had a mild temper, but often he would get provoked and his temper would flair up. He was an honest and hard working man. Shade was a farmer as most people were in Absher, North Carolina. He did his farming quite well with only one arm, as the story
below will tell. Many men from Absher, North Carolina volunteered to fight in the Civil War. Shade was working out in the corn field one afternoon when a group of Confederate Soldiers rode up for food and water. Shade ask a great many questions on how the war between the states was going. Late that afternoon Shade rode off with the confederate soldiers to war. The company Shade was with went up into Virginia. They had a fierce battle in which Shade was shot in the right arm two times. The doctor operated on Shade's arm while the thick of battle was going on. Two bullets were removed.
About two months later Shade was in another battle with a group of me n. When the smoke cleared, only Shade and another man by the name of Joh n Bell were left standing. The Northern Army took the two men prisoners. While Shade and John Bell were prisoners, infection set in Shades arm. John Bell
was with Shade when the northern doctor operated. Shade said he could not see them cut his arm off, but when his arm hit the ground he could hear it. The doctor cut shades arm off just above the right elbow. Shade and John Bell were sent home when Shade could travel. Shade married Nancy Ballow and they had thirteen children. Shade died 24 August 1915. His wife Nancy died 27 April 1903.
This information was given to me by Aurra Joins, one of Shade's daughters."
