Family Story: Apparently, there were about 9 children by the 1st marriage and another 5 or so in the 2nd marriage. As the story goes, the 1st marriage

and the half-brothers and sisters from that marriage were never spoken about on pain of the hickory switch. The 2nd wife was much younger. She was

so incensed that her husband was buried next to his 1st wife, that years and years later as she approached the end of her life, she had him disinterred,

had the casket opened so she gaze upon his bones, and then had him reburied  in the Beaver Creek Cemetery next to her plot. And that’s why he is listed in two cemeteries.

 

Find A Grave Notation:

Henry Harrison EARLES was born in February 1847 in Floyd County, Virginia.
In January 1864, Henry enlisted in Company A, 24th Regiment, of the Virginia Infantry.
At first he was assigned guard duty in North Carolina, then he returned to Virginia where he served in the battle of Drewery's Bluff (near Richmond),

Virginia on May 16, 1864.
There he received a bullet wound to the stomach which exited his body near the spinal column. It was thought he wouldn't survive, but after several weeks in field hospitals, he pulled through.
It is said that the gunshot wound left a hole in Henry's abdomen that one could stick one's hand in. On February 6, 1865 Henry was medically discharged

from service.

Henry Harrison died July 8, 1928 in Alum Ridge in Floyd County. He'd lived a long and industrious life having survived a near-fatal bullet wound and rising

 to become a well-known and respected brick mason in Floyd.
Henry and both of his wives are buried in Beaver Creek Cemetery, Floyd County, Virginia. (not true – only his 2nd wife Rosetta)

Leslie Allen "Big Jack" Gallimore 94 was born Dec. 13, 1911, left this life to see his Heavenly Father face to face, on May 26, 2006.

He was a member of the Shawsville Congregational Holiness Church. He attended many other churches while helping to build and support churches all over the New River Valley. His love for God was exemplary, reaching out to all people. His worship and praise to his Heavenly Father were always upon his lips, though most difficult times while bed ridden and dependent. We believe of all the many accomplishments he had in life, the greatest that he would like all people to know is that HE LOVED GOD.

His wife Cornelia was the love of his life, being married for 71 years. He and Cornelia were blessed with four sons, Chester and

Carol, Donald and Ara, Dale and Dee, Mac and Lilley.

He is survived by three sisters, Arnie Simpkins, Dovie Quesenberry, Isabelle and husband Lewis Shelor; two brothers and sisters-in-law Charles and Oneta Gallimore, Roger and Irena Jean Gallimore; sister-in-law, Irene Gallimore; special sister-in-law and husband Elaine and Bill Dobyns; nine grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, four great-great grandchildren. Preceded in death by two sisters, Roxie Boy, Edith Quesenberry; one brother, Vinton Gallimore. We would like to thank his caregivers at home that lovingly took care of him, the Carilion Home Health Care givers, Dr. Conaster, the nurses/aids at Radford Carilion Hospital and all who visited with him, praying with him for his daily strength and encouragement until his passing. Special thanks to Christiansburg Rescue Squad and in lieu of flowers please give donations to the Christiansburg Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 176, Christiansburg, Va 24068 or your local church.

She reached out to anyone who needed a home, food and family. She and Les took several boys into their home, loving them and raising them as their own. She was a Mother and grandma to many. She enjoyed cooking for the employees, salespersons, cats and dogs at Wills Ridge Supply. She loved God and said many times, "I want people who pray for me to believe when they pray."

In 1930 she is in Missouri as Rosetta Earl, 67 yo widowed mother in law & as Monroe didn’t die until 1939, it would appear her marriage with him

 ended in divorce although a divorce record not found.

3rd m. Charles Fred Leonard & she is with him in Howell Co., MO 1940

 

Family Story: Apparently, there were about 9 children by Henry Earles 1st marriage and another 5 or so in his marriage to Rosetta. As the story goes, the children from his 1st marriage were never to spoken about on pain of the hickory switch. And Rosetta was so incensed that her husband was buried next to his 1st wife, that years and years later as she approached the end of her own life, she had him disinterred and casket opened so she could gaze upon his bones, and then had him reburied in the Beaver Creek Cemetery next to her plot. And that’s why he is listed in two cemeteries.

WEEKS, James Clinton, died of a heart attack on Sunday, March 3, 2002, at Roanoke Memorial Hospital. He was 82 years old. He is survived by his wife 61 years, Vergie Mae Reed Weeks; their son, Michael Allen Weeks and his wife, Janet; and one grandson, Matthew Braden Weeks, and his wife, Karen; his two sisters, Ilene Belcher and Hava Epperly, and their husbands, Warren and Ben; and his brother, Posey Weeks and wife, Frances, also survive him. He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Ruby and Althea Weeks. He was predeceased by his brothers, Clarence and George Weeks. He is also survived by one brother-in-law, Jesse Reed. James was born February 29, 1920, in Floyd County, Va., to George William and Mary Jane Gathercole Weeks. Growing up during the Great Depression, he was unable to complete a formal education, working instead with his father at a sawmill. At the age of 45, pushed by his love of knowledge, James achieved his G.E.D., an accomplishment that brought him great pride. During World War II, he worked for Carrier Corporation for four years constructing defense facilities. He was drafted into the U.S. Navy in 1944, where he served in the Pacific Theater in Manila until his honorable discharge in 1946. After the war, James moved back with his wife to Floyd County to begin a family. His first job was building the house his family would live in for the next twenty years. This was quite an amazing feat, considering James had no formal training in the skills of construction, plumbing or electricity. The house still stands and is currently occupied. He took his natural gifts and worked in a variety of construction related jobs, and for a period of time, went into business at a plumbing supply store with his brother, Clarence. In 1957, James went to work for Lanford Brothers Construction as Project Superintendent. He supervised the construction of numerous bridges throughout Virginia and West Virginia. In his time at Lanford Brothers, James played an instrumental role in making the company one of the largest and most successful in the state. He was with the company for 28 years until his retirement in 1985. However, retirement did not slow him down. One could often find him in his workshop crafting anything from China cabinets to marbled oak bowls, to the rocking horse he made for his grandson. James was always creating and cementing his legacy in the items he built. James will always be remembered for his open heart and his love for his family and those around him. He was known to help out neighbors and friends and was always a person one could rely on to give support and lend a helping hand. To remember James, is to remember a man who personified strength through his quiet, gentle and loving nature. A man who was a devoted husband, proud father, playful grandfather, and true friend. A man who found the simple pleasures in life, whether it be building a desk or playing with his beloved Welsh Corgie, Nipper. Emily Dickinson once said, "To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else." James Weeks was a man who saw the beauty that life has to offer and spent every day making the most of the time he had. James was a lifetime member of The Church of Brethren and has been a member of the Williamson Road Church for the past 34 years. He was also a member of the American Legion. Funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, 2002, at Williamson Road Church of the Brethren, with the Rev. Michael Hostetter officiating. A graveside service will be held 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren Cemetery in Floyd County. The family will receive friends 1:30 until 3:30 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Oakey's North Chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Williamson Road Church of the Brethren, 3110 Pioneer Road, N.W. Roanoke, or to the American Heart Association.

Vergie Mae Reed Weeks, 90, formerly of Floyd, was born on November 23, 1920, and passed away on Monday, August 15, 2011, at Lewis-Gale Hospital,

Salem, Va.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Jesse Michael and Manda Ellen Reed; her husband, James Clinton Reed, whom she married on June 26, 1940;

and her brother, Jesse Arthur Reed.

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Michael Allen and Janet Shaver Weeks, of Danville, Va.; grandson and wife, Matthew Braden and Karen

Davis Weeks, of Sunnyside, N.Y.; and special friends, Linda Gatson and Diane Anderson.
Vergie had a deep desire to pursue education and obtain a college education, a goal not easily achieved by many women of her generation. After she

graduated from Floyd High School in 1938, she moved away from home to attend Bluefield Business College with the eventual goal of becoming a

successful businesswoman. Love found a way to change that goal, however, as she married James in 1940. Together, they traveled to New York,

Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alabama while James worked for the Carrier Corporation building defense facilities before and during World War II. In

Alabama, Vergie found the time to complete her business studies. After James was drafted into the Navy, she joined him in California where she worked

at Sears in Long Beach and later Capwell's Department Store in Oakland. After the war, the couple returned to Floyd where they built a home on property gifted to them by Vergie's father and her wish for a blond headed boy was granted. Vergie began her long career in education as secretary to the Superintendent of Floyd County Schools in the late 1950s. She and Jim moved to Roanoke in 1967, where she worked briefly for Roanoke County Schools before transferring to the Roanoke City Schools where she retired as an Executive Secretary in 1985.

During that time, she attended night classes at Virginia Western Community College, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1978 and being certified by the

State Department of Education as an Educational Secretary. She always had an interest in trying new things, especially technology, whether it be

learning how to cook on the first commercial microwave or becoming proficient in computer technology and the internet. In retirement, she used

these computer skills to volunteer to prepare taxes for those not able to do so. She taught herself to play bridge and was a member of several

bridge clubs in the Roanoke Area. She was a lifelong member of the Church of the Brethren, first at Beaver Creek in Floyd and then Williamson

Road Church in Roanoke. Vergie loved animals, especially her Corgis, Tina, Bosco, Nipper, and Joy, with whom she shared her life.
Funeral Service will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, August 19, 2011, at Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren with the Rev. Marvin Wade officiating.

Interment to follow at Beaver Creek Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, August 18, 2011, at Maberry Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren, c/o Brenda Hylton, Treasurer, 200 Wills Ridge Road, NW, Floyd VA

24091 or to a charity of your choice.

FLOYD, Va. Eli B. Yoder, age 82, of 740 Starbuck Road, died Saturday, February 4, 2017, at his home.

Eli was born October 25, 1934, in Nowata, Okla. to Ben and Mary (Nisly) Yoder. When he was 11 years old, the family moved to Stuarts Draft, Va.,

where he spent the rest of his growing up years. In Stuarts Draft on July 1, 1954, he married Ruth N. Yoder, who survives. Their marriage was 60

plus years of love, trust and devotion. This was made especially evident the last several years as Eli experienced two back surgeries, gall bladder

surgery and finally cancer. This involved many hospital stays, radiation treatments, and the almost constant day and night struggle to relieve the

severe pain that went along with multiple back fractures that came as a result of his condition.

Eli was ordained to the ministry on January 14, 1962. It was a calling he took very seriously and served faithfully his whole life, first at Bethel

Mennonite Church, Gladys, Va., and then for the last 20 years at Wills Ridge Mennonite Church, Floyd, Va. He also was an evangelist and held

gospel meetings here and there all over the country. He officially retired just last month, after serving for 55 years.

Eli spent his early working years as a farmer, heavy equipment operator and carpenter. He built many sets of kitchen cabinets and in his later years

built many pieces of fine furniture. He was probably never happier than when he was in his shop, his pencil behind his ear, working with wood.

He was preceded in death by a sister, Lovina; sister, Esther and husband, Robert Yoder; a sister, Lucy; and sister, Mary Beth and husband, Harven

Shifflett; and an infant brother. He is survived by his wife, Ruth N. Yoder of Floyd, Va.; four sons, Merle and wife, Mary of Long Island, Va., Robbie

and wife, Lydia of Gladys, Va., Steve and wife, Joan of Floyd, Va., and Calvin and wife, Sheila of Nappanee, Ind. Also, one daughter, Judy and husband,

David Yoder of Floyd, Va. There are 26 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.

Also surviving are two brothers, Sanford and wife, Martha of Costa Rica, Calif. and Harvey and wife, Alma Jean of Harrisonburg, Va.; brothers-in-law,

Ernest Yoder of Rustburg, Va. and Alvin Schrock of Raphine, Va.; two sisters, Magdalena and husband, Alvin Schrock of Cumberland, Va. and Fannie

Mae Yoder of Raphine, Va.

The family received friends on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Maberry Funeral Home, 367 South Locust Street, Floyd, Va. and also

Wednesday, February 8, 2017, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Wills Ridge Mennonite Church, 152 Wills Ridge Rd., Floyd, Va. The funeral service will be held at

10 a.m. Thursday, February 9, 2017 at the Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren, 409 Ridgeview Rd., Floyd, Va.

Note from Tracy C. Jul 2021 re: her update & verification of this cemetery: my comments in red

I added all the ones I found in addition to the FAG list so that's up to date. You won't see the difference when you look. Lol.

 

These three are listed but this is the wrong Beaver Creek Cemetery. I have sent a request to make this right. I have verified they are in Rockingham county.

Bowman, Isaac Charles 1875- 1939 omitted

Skinner, John 1926- 2015 omitted

Skinner, Lucille 1930- 2016 omitted

 

I don't believe Mary Earls (1850-1885) is buried here. I believe she is at Simmons Farm with one of hers and HH's children. She would be the first wife that Jim was referring to regarding the second wife having him reinterred. omitted

 

I did not find stones for these three but have no reason to believe they aren't buried here: all left in Beaver Creek

Nester, Andrew 1932- 2020

Earles, Sampson 1902- 1987 (death certificate states Beaver Creek) (his funeral home marker is missing a few chips. He is indexed in FAG as Sampson Havenear – left in Beaver creek but corrected in this document)

Yoder, Eli 1934- 2017

 

That's it. Thank you so much!
