Merry Christmas 2010

Happy New Year 2011

Happy Birthday Jesus! The fall has been uneventful except for a couple of reunions in October. We had a nice high school reunion in Hamlet, North Carolina. Then it was on to an annual military reunion of those who served at RAF Chicksands in England in the 1950-60s in Branson, MO. We had a great time visiting family and friends. Now it is the end of the year. I hope and pray that you have as great a Christmas season as possible. I believe in saying “Merry Christmas” regardless of today’s political correctness.

Geraldine "Jerry" Marsh Peel 85 on 11 Feb, Born 1926

(Wife of Walter Lee "Buck" Peel, Jr. 1928-

1998, Mother of Diane Peel Walls.)

Geraldine Peel

724 Greene Street Apt 615 Augusta, GA 30901

Have you sent a card to our seniors lately?

I received email from Diane Peel Walls about her mother Jerry Peel, whose picture and address are above. Jerry fell on Nov 2nd and broke her right hip just two weeks after getting over cancer surgery. The following is from Diane. Today (Tuesday, Dec. 7) they transferred mom to Walton Rehab Hospital in Augusta, which is an intensive rehabilitation hospital. She'll be getting 3 to 4 hours of rehab a day and should be home by the end of the year. She did have gout in her foot and it is getting better. She has stood on her feet one or two times successfully, for which we are very happy. It is now up to the Rehab facility to get her into a wheel chair and walker. If you want to send a card to her, which she loves to get, send it to 724 Greene Street Apt 615, Augusta, GA 30901. This is her address. We check it often and get her mail to her. Since we don't know how long she'll be at Walton Rehab, it's better to send any mail to her home address. My Aunt, Jean Peel Kelley, plans to stay with her when she goes home until she is on her feet. Aunt Jean is my dad's sister. Of course, we're taking it one day at a time. She is progressing so well, but she has so far to go. Thank the Lord the infection has cleared up and they removed the pic line today. Praise the Lord for that. She's still having some problems with her bladder, but this continues due to her bladder cancer, probably. Thank you again for your continued prayer support. Love to you all. Diane Peel Walls


Letter from Carolyn Heipe Dear Horace, I am enclosing $10.00 for the coming year. Thank you for your hard work. My husband (Edwin Heipe) died the 5th of Oct, at the age of 88 – heart problems.

She and Patricia Peel Arick are sisters to our mother, Sarah Peel Gray, who died in 1990 at age 72 from melanoma. I am enclosing a picture of remaining children of John Franklin Peel and Lillian Nelson Peel, taken at the reunion. Sorry Uncle Jerome is not in full view. [They had] eight children – three (3) are deceased - my Mother Sarah, Uncle Herbert, and Aunt Irma. I’m glad you had a good trip to Europe. I lived in Stuttgart & Karlsrule, Germany, from 1962-1965. Have a Good Year! Carolyn Heipe P.S. My husband really enjoyed the Peel Newsletter [Lawrence, Etc.] and read every word – He loved history!

The following article was sent in by Carlise Peel Moncrief of Americus, Georgia. It is a wonderful testament to the love and admiration that she and her siblings had for their father and mother. It was previously published in the Georgia Post Centennial Edition 2010.

R. L. “Bug Eye” Elder, Clarence M.

“Ribs” Peel, and Shad Brown

Caboose Dedication Acknowledges the part the railroad Played in the Establishment of Roberta. The Caboose which sits downtown Roberta (Georgia) on the square is being dedicated To The Memory Of Clarence Moseley Peel. Peel was a railroad conductor, a former resident of Roberta and an employee of Southern railroad. His daughters are Claire Peel Mattox of Roberta, GA., and Carlise Peel Moncrief of Americus, GA. (Comment from Carlise: Trainmen loved to have nicknames for fellow crew members. Daddy was six feet, four inches and always slim from all the walking he did, they said you could see his ribs, hence the name “Ribs.”)

REFLECTIONS OF THE LIFE OF CLARENCE MOSELEY PEEL Clarence Peel was only 17 years old when he wanted to volunteer for service during World War I. His mother already had one son serving on foreign soil and refused his request to sign for him to volunteer. Desiring to start a career with the railway, he approached her again requesting her to sign for him to begin work. She thought it far too dangerous but at his urging, she relented and signed. He was intrigued with the operations of the railroad system. He realized the important part it played in getting supplies and materials to the business industry, especially during WWI and WWII. He was supremely dedicated to his job. He never wanted to work elsewhere and believed the railroad administrators would always support and protect the railroad men. He had worked for 38 years and was only two years from retirement when he died in a train accident. He had strived to maintain an impeccable work record and never brought harm to others. He kept that record and never lost it. During the depression, many railroad men were without work. Not wanting to leave Roberta, Clarence helped build the old school gymnasium and later worked as a Deputy Sheriff. He was a member of Roberta Baptist Church, The Woodmen Of The World, and The Masonic Lodge. He was the son of James Buchanan Peel and Leila Jane Bond Peel of Atlanta. He was a descendent of Lawrence Peelle, who was born in England and was the first Peele to come to


America in 1621. Clarence was the grandson of Robert Austin Peel and Martha A. E. Swanson of LaGrange and Andrew Jackson Bond and T. Frances Tucker of Dewey Rose, Elbert County, GA. On September 30, 1926, Clarence married Jessie J. Blackwell of Roberta. She was the daughter of Willis Thomas Blackwell and J. Elizabeth Hooks of Roberta. She was a descendent of Pilgrim Edward Doty. Willis was the owner and operator of a sawmill at the “Pope Place” in Hammett settlement. He supplied hardwood for Brumby Chair Company of Atlanta. Clarence and Jessie were the parents of five daughters, Betty Jane, Claudine, Juanita, Carlise, and Claire. All of the people of Roberta were important to mother and daddy. He brought his train through carefully to ensure the safety of anyone near the crossing. When he blew his train whistle, the people waved to all the crew and they responded with a wave. I never hear a train whistle without thinking of him.

Peel family members will be in Roberta for the Dedication of the Caboose and plaques flanking it. We remember well the wonderful people who lived here and look forward to seeing their family and friends. The “Keep Roberta/Crawford Beautiful Organization”, along with my sister Claire Mattox and other committee members have worked long and hard to make this happen. It will be a source of education and pride when completed.


(Note from Carlise on December 6: I went to Roberta today and checked on the caboose. It has been painted red and all the black has been painted. I have some quilts I want to loan them and we have a lantern, conductor’s hat, etc., to place in the caboose. This means so much to us.)

Thanks Carlise for your care of family heritage. Horace]

HISTORY OF THE NUMBER 17

The high school in Hamlet, NC had 12 grades in the early 1940’s. After my 11th grade I had 17 credits. I only needed 12th grade English to graduate so I went to summer school for 6 weeks. I was still 17 years old because I started to school when I was 7 years old. When the class of 1943 graduated, my mother received my diploma. I had been in the US Army for a month. In March 2008, my wife Mattie and I flew to San Antonio, Texas, to see my brother Horace Peele. The next day, we spent all day on the River Walk in town and had no problems. The next morning, I went with Horace to his golf course. We were probably the first ones there. He was given cart #17. We were back home before lunch. Trish and Mattie started out to Horace’s garden to get some lettuce. They had to go down eight steps. Mattie doesn’t remember but at the bottom she fell flat on her face. It didn’t take long to get her to the hospital, probably about 17 minutes. She was put into room #17, then others. She was in the hospital 5 days and received a pacemaker. Later at a restaurant, we sat at table #17. During WWII, I served 23 months in the Army in the Pacific, including travel from San Francisco, CA to Oahu Hawaii, to Maui Hawaii, to Oahu Hawaii, to Saipan, to Tinian, to Saipan, to Oahu Hawaii, to Saipan, to Okinawa, to Leyte Island, Philippines, to San Pedro, CA (part of Los Angeles). My diary shows this travel time to be 6 months. This means my land time was 17 months. After returning from Saipan to Oahu Hawaii on September 17, 1944, I went to Schofield Barracks to the Motor School. For our service in the invasion of Saipan and Tinian, my US Army 534th Amphibian Tractor Battalion received the NAVAL PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION. From California, I rode a train to Ft. Bragg, NC, and was discharged on January 17, 1946. My time served in the United States was 9 months and 11 days. On our recent bus trip to Virginia Beach, VA, we took a 2 hour boat tour of Norfolk, VA harbor. At pier #17, there was a ship named San Antonio. On the way home, we stopped at a large outlet mall in Williamsburg, VA. Our bus parked behind store #17. For history record, the second atomic bomb was dropped on August 9, 1945, on my 21st birthday, 3 days after we left Okinawa. The peace treaty with Japan was signed on September 2, 1945, which was the 17th birthday of my future wife Mattie Smith. We have been married for 61 years on June 11, 2010. Now we have tickets to a Christmas show on December 17 with country music legend Jimmy Fortune, who was a member of the Statler Brothers. Their first recorded song was “The Wreck of Old Ninety-Seven”. (Composed by Marvin B. Peele, Jr. on November 17, 2010.)


FOND MEMORIES OF MY GRANDPARENTS

Merritt “Money” Peele, Sr., and Sallie Pearson Peele

50TH

Wedding Anniversary When I was a child the fondest memories I have of my Grandma and Grandpa are that when we would go visit them, Grandma Sallie would give us kids a hot homemade biscuit with a hole in the top and pour molasses into it and we would eat, boy was that a good biscuit. After eating and hugging them we would go under their house, which was high off the ground and play ‘doodle bug, doodle bug, your house is on fire’, or play hop scotch out in another part of the yard, while the grownups visited in the house. Then a day or so after Halloween we would bring Grandpa all of our peppermint candy out of our Halloween bag. We kids didn’t like peppermint, but Grandpa loved it. (By Kelsie Peele Temples) Genealogical Line -- 11th Generation to Lawrence: Merritt “Money” 11 Peele, Sr. (George Robinson10, William "Bill"9 Peelle, Robert8, David7, Robert6, Robert5, Robert4, Robert3, Robert2, Lawrence1) He was born 06 Jul 1895 in Peele Farm, Near Gibson, Richmond Co., NC, and died 05 Jan 1969. He married Sallie Pearson about 1914, daughter of Henry Pearson and Leteshia Peele. She was born 06 Jan 1896, and died 06 Oct 1967. Both are buried in the Peele Cemetery, Scotland Co., NC. [Merritt was my father’s brother, he was called “Uncle Money”, I do not know why but I do know that Aunt Sallie made the best biscuits!]
