Compilers’ notes regarding Rhoda Frances “Fannie” Greene:

I think Fannie was probably a single mother. In the 1900 census record she states she is divorced but I doubt it. She does marry Peter Preston Smith, a 50 yo widower, in 1912 but this is well after her, at least 7, children were born. Some of those children used the Greene surname others Smith.

Posy Weddle, 72, of Copper Hill, Virginia, went peacefully to his heavenly home on Saturday, February 8, 2025. He fought a hard battle with cancer for two and a half years. Posy was preceded in death by his parents, Virginia Davis Weddle and Levi Jesse Weddle; and his brothers, JC Weddle and Leo Weddle.
Posy retired from Steel Dynamics/Roanoke Electric Steel after 47 years of service proving his dedication and hard work ethic. He loved life and people, always the more people around, the better! Posy never met a stranger no matter where he would go. He was always ready for an adventure from racing motorcycles, circle track racing at Franklin County Speedway, and as owner of PW Longhorn Farm. Posy rode his longhorn steer in the Floyd Christmas Parade. But his greatest passion was to build a farm where family and friends could visit and enjoy time together. A dream he made a reality-his happy place, the farm. He even provided the barn as a wedding venue, excited to help a young couple get started on their journey together. Posy was a big mentor and loved sharing his knowledge, especially with his nephews. Whether it was nephews, nieces, or the kids in the neighborhood, it brought Posy so much joy teaching them all the skills he had learned. It was important to him to prepare the children for life ahead and how to make good decisions along the way. Family meant everything to him.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 51 years, Rita Wimmer Weddle. Family closest to him regardless of life's obstacles, his nephew, Michael Krawchison and his wife, Ashley and their sons, Cason and Easton; nephew, Calvin Weddle and his wife, Taylor; nephew, Levi Weddle; his sister, Ester Marshall; niece, Wanda Howell; and in-laws, Deborah and Joe Krawchison. Also surviving, his sister, Dreama, brother, Larry; and numerous nephews and nieces.
The family will receive guests on Thursday, February 13, 2025 from 4:00 until 7:00 p.m. at Oakey's South Chapel. The Funeral Service will be conducted at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, February 14, 2025 with Pastors Joe Cox, Phillip Cox and John Thompson officiating. Burial will follow at Copper Hill Church of the Brethren cemetery.

Geneva Conner Bell White, 90, of Roanoke, Va., passed away on Wednesday, August 21, 2019. She was born in Floyd County near Copper Hill on October 7, 1928.

Geneva has been a faithful member of the Church of the Brethren since she was baptized in a creek in Floyd County at the age of 12. She and Roy raised their children in the Poages Mill Church of the Brethren where they both served as life deacons and Geneva served on almost every board in the church. She worked in Bible School and later with the youth and after that taught an adult Sunday school class for many years. Geneva was active in the District Women's Work, serving as their president for two terms. She was active in the Church Women United (CWU) of the Roanoke Valley and also served as their president for two terms. Geneva treasured the Christian friends she made in CWU. She and her husband, Paul, most recently were members of Oak Grove Church of the Brethren in Roanoke. The family would like to thank the many caregivers that attended to Geneva over the last few years at Brandon Oaks. We appreciate the loving care she received from those who grew to know and love her which are too numerous to mention. A Funeral Service will be conducted at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 24, 2019, at Oak Grove Church of the Brethren with the Rev. Tim Harvey officiating. Burial will follow in the Copper Hill Cemetery, Floyd County. The family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2019, at Oakey's South Chapel.

At age 91, he was still raking hay for others, an inspiration to all who knew him. You could always find him wearing a smile, never complaining.

He is survived by his children, Rita and Posy Weddle and Deborah and Joe Krawchison; his grandson, Michael and Ashley Krawchison; his great-grandsons, Cason and Easton Krawchison; in-laws, Hilda and Noel Underwood and Geraldine and Riley Williams; and many nieces and nephews.
