LETTER from Mary Amanda (DeVault) Roseborough to James Nolden and Mary Russell (DeVault) Butcher, July 26, 1982

Dear Folks:
I’m still enjoying my day with you folks. I can’t remember when I had so much fun! The road by Greeneville was good, and we were in Knoxville before I knew it.
You know I didn’t know Madlyn, she had to tell me who she was! The church yard looked nice, I couldn’t get out.
Louise looks better than I expected to see. I didn’t hear “Crook” telling about Anna R’s daughter’s wedding. L. said it was in paper. Was it Jonesboro? I sure didn’t see it – it was good to see all of them. Thank you for showing old pictures – it came to me the lady in pretty blouse is Lou Marsh, used to live there. She was a good friend to Mama & Dad. And one was Aunt Mary & Uncle Dan Walters lived in Pittsburg. How funny it comes back after a long time! It isn’t funny to get old, but, life has to go on.
I am shocked at Mary Sue. Can Louise will her what she got from Cora Louise? I miss C. L. she wrote me notes once in awhile. Know she was good to Louise – she wrote she got her out to vote & they rode all over seeing things they hadn’t in years.
Louise’s bro in Iowa had 6 children & he put them all through college. & I heard he got a dollar when his mother died. Don’t think Miss Sadie was friendly with him. He & wife did visit older sister, Lida.
Hope butch keeps “Spade belt”. Your drink was so good you are too good a hostess, Mary. Was a grand day for me, I’ll never forget. Am going to Dandridge tomorrow. A. H. is coming for me. Hope Eddie does well in election. You will have to guess at a lot of this. My love to you both. Mary.

Fairfield Glade
Feb. 12th ‘87

Dear Mary & Butch,
Your note meant so much to me and I’ve been intending to write you but my schedule has changed (for letter writing) since Knox. Paper changed to A.M. After being an afternoon paper so long. I start reading it, & when I finish, it’s time for me to do my housework, if I do any.
Another pretty day here – I keep thinking we’ll run into Spring without a bad Winter if this keeps up. We haven’t had a fire in the fireplace yet. A H started to build one one day when power was off for about an hour, but it came back on. Most people here keep fire going for months, but it dries out the air & burns me up – but is good in case of emergency.
Our TV blew something, it’s hard to believe how dependent we’ve become on the box. They keep telling us we’ve gotten the good out of this set, but it keeps perking along even though repair men claim this type is out of date, etc. Am watching Donahue in Russia, and the quiz shows keep us busy all morning. I like central time because I can see the late night shows even though I get up too late to see early news!
I think news said there’s more to be revealed today on Contra-Iran stuff. I’m sort of like my Aunt Audrey (married Daddy’s bro.) who told me at the funeral she was enjoying all of it!
D.D. said you all sent a memorial gift for Mama & we appreciate it. I was glad to find one from Babs that they’d upped her medication and as a result she hadn’t had headaches for the last few months – She’d had them so long and I could see how much it hurt when we were down there. They gave her shots, but she usually would pretend arthritis didn’t hurt but couldn’t hide headaches. D.D. had written she was failing, but it was still a shock to all of us but a relief that she hadn’t been sick. I feel like she just wore out and got her wish – she’d wanted to die even before going to nursing home.
It didn’t seem like we were “home” in Mt. Dora with the house being sold – A & I spent night with Fred & Barb at motel (before going to Jax.) after funeral, & I had to have “Travelers’ stomach” and was glad I was near facilities. Think from now on flying will be my mode of transportation. A’s leg bothers him, & he has to stop every 75-100 miles to walk to get rid of cramps. His driving scares me, and he doesn’t want help. Marian & Bill & F & B flew into Orlando, but it never occurred to me.
Went through a couple weeks of not being able to think after we got home, & today it feels like it’s returned but is because I’ve quit (for good, I hope) smoking. I need to make out a list to remind myself of all the benefits after this stage is over – but I wish it would hurry up.
Think we’ve exchange our coon family for the worst: saw & smelled 2 big fat skunks out in yard in moonlight Tues. p.m. A tried to shoot them, but they depart fast when he opens door to porch. There’s no telling what wild animals lurk outside one’s doors at night! This place is growing so fast, and we saw people looking at lot next to us – would be nice to have some good (Yankee) neighbors – have met more nice ones than irksome ones, but the later stand out and really aren’t typical. D.D. sent me article from Jonesboro paper back in Nov. or Dec. & description of Yankees’ behavior in grocery store tickled us.
John’s father had hernia surgery last week in J.C. & got along fine, Ellen said. We’d intended to go to Ellen’s after Xmas but were so tired we told her we’d go later. They’re so busy, and she celebrated her birthday by going to yet another meeting. I’ve gotten expert at saying “no” unless it’s something I really want to do.
A’s ready for spring & some bulbs (look like hyacinths to me) have already come up & will probably get nipped. We divided the Aug lily and it was full of blooms. My violets have decided to bloom, & I don’t know why because so many died that I lost interest in them. I still keep knitting projects going most of the time & look forward to weekly duplicate bridge games. Retirement ain’t half bad, hah?
We’d lo ve to see you & will let you know if/when we get up there again. Our big problem is Casey, our mutt, who goes with us to Ellen’s and knocks us out of stopping to shop or visit much. But we like him & can leave him with vet if we need to – and he makes us take walks when weather is fit because he(?) needs exercise.
Hope you both are ok – have decided I’m going to quit listening to the basketball games after they “blew” a 10-point lead last p.m. against Ky. I wish you could come to see us.
Love as ever,
Cuzzin Sarrie.

LETTER FROM FREDERICK RUSSELL DEVAULT TO HIS NIECE, GRACE OWINGS (GUERRANT) GUERRANT

Jonesboro Tenn Jany 30th 1933 R.F.D. No. 6.
Dear Grace -
I may have answered your letter of Dec 5th ult. If I have I beg your pardon. A repetition from me would be unbearable. Well we have had a pretty tough winter. Not very cold but lots of misty, foggy, drizzly weather. As old Uncle used to say, hard on dumb brutes and cattle. Depression everywhere I guess but business men say E. Tenn has suffered less than any place in the U.S.A. I don't know but we mountain people always had a dread for debt but the coming of the Auto has gotten many to break over. The tobacco business has helped out the farmer wonderfully. Knoxville, Morristown, Greeneville, Johnson City & Abingdon Va. have all got good markets. Greeneville has shiped about 900 car loads to manufacturers. The P. T. A. of Mt. View asked me to make a talk on the early history of Leesburg (last month). They want me to talk again. Next time I will tell them how we got along so well with so little money. Commencing with home made leather & home made shoes & the entire equipment to the crown of the head with home made hats. I platted my own hats during the Civil War. I think I shall also tell them about dipping candles and borrowing fire. Well enough of this. Big frost this A.M., ground frozen & your Aunt is well enough to enjoy it all.
Had a letter from John DeVault of Mexico, Mo. last week. Said he was going East in the spring, would come through Ky. to see your Ma & by here to visit the old homestead. He was born here. Had two uncles that went from here to Mo in 1828. Settled up a .. part of the country. He is Bro Bruce's youngest boy and a very fine man - has a wife , two boys & a daughter 16. Ed has three daughters & one boy. Oldest daughter teaches school, one in college & one in high school. Ed still on R.R., had he not been on road for 30 years he probably would have been out of a job. Upton is in a Sanatarium in Canada. Had the flu when here three years ago & never properly recovered from it. He is trying to get well by the rest cure. Letter last week from Mary saying Mr. Roseborough had the flu. Hope he will soon recover - he has his hands full with a wife & four children & a school on his hands. Had a letter from your mama last week. It is remarkable how well she keeps up. Mary writes she looks so well. DeVault writes Ky is keeping up her reputation: Killed five in Jessamine Co. One week two in Wilmon, Harlan & Bell Co. have certainly been in the Lime light for the past year. E. Tenn is getting pretty modern too. Don't you recon the old regulars will talk if Hiram Johnson gets in the Cabinet. To think that Tenn lost a Congressman & Calif gained so many. Looks like you must have had another Gold rush like the one in the fifties. Or maybe you converted your fine apples & grapes into a drawing card. Had a letter from an old Leesburg friend now in Los Angeles. You know her ?? of her Mrs Mollie Roberts. She is lately from Chicago. Said she didn't think she would go back soon. Maybe she thinks there is more than one Capone there. Well I am glad Edward was so honered by Davidson even if he didn't get the Oxford scholarship. Our Pastor had a nephew from Atlanta at Davidson that was a contestant. Well I hope you are both well, happy & prosperous and we both send you much love. When this reaches you we will have passed our 53rd anniversary. Yr. Uncle F. R. D.

WIFE
BLANCHE SILL DEVAULT
OCT. 28, 1858 -- DEC. 7, 1952.
There is an old photo of the DeVault Tavern showing a number of guests in the yard. The caption says that it was on the occasion of Frederick Russell "Russell" Davault going to visit Blanch Sill before they were married. In order to make sense of all of this, one needs to know that the Fetters were living in the DeVault Tavern. Prior to the Civil War, John Davault, who had inherited the Tavern, had moved with his family across the road to the farm known as Sunnyside. (Sunnyside or Sunny Side was a farm and large brick house.) At the time that the above mentioned photo was taken, probably the late 1870s, Russell was living with his parents at Sunnyside. Russell and Blanche were married in 1880. They lived their entire lives in the DeVault Tavern, Leesburg, Washington County, Tennessee.

BASIC FACTS

Blanche Etta Sill was born on 28 October 1858 in Bedford, Bedford Co., Pennsylvania.2,10 She and Frederick Russell "Russell" DeVault were married on 4 February 1880 in Leesburg, Washington Co., Tennessee.2,10 She died on 7 December 1952, at age 94, in Leesburg, Washington Co., Tennessee.2,10 She was buried in Leesburg Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Leesburg, Washington Co., Tennessee.11
Blanche Etta Sill had reference number 172. She was enumerated on the census in Bedford County, Pennsylvania (1860); Washington County, Tennessee (1870, 1880, 1900 - 1930.) Blanche Etta Sill was born in Pennsylvania in 1858, the daughter of Frederick and Mary (Stiver) Sill. Mary died in childbirth, and Blanche was raised by her father and by her father's sister, Mariah (Sill) Fetter. When Blanche was twelve, Mariah and husband Jacob Fetter moved their family to Leesburg, Tennessee. They took Blanche with them. Twice Blanche's father came to Tennessee to coax her home, but she was happy and thriving in Leesburg. She was educated in private Lutheran Boarding Schools and also at Washington College, in Washington County, Tennessee. (Most of this information was provided by Mary Russell (DeVault) Butcher.)

Blanche was very well regarded by her children and grandchildren.

Notes:
Jacob and Mariah (Sill) Fetter, their two children, Mariah's brother, Frederick Sill, and Frederick's one-year-old daughter, Blanche Sill, are shown living together in the 1860 Census for Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Jacob and Mariah, daughter Sarah Fetter, son Thomas Reuben Fetter and Thomas' wife, Nancy (Dickins) Fetter moved from Pennsylvania to Leesburg, Washington County, Tennessee shortly after the Civil War. They are shown there in the 1870 Census and Blanche is listed as being eleven years old. The Fetter's daughter, Sarah Fetter, married a Gideon W. Carmack. Gideon was a brother of Mary Caroline (Carmack) DeVault, second wife of John Davault.
Samuel and Leah (Cromwell) Stiver were Blanche's maternal grandparents. It has been reported that Leah was also the grandmother of James H. R. Cromwell (first husband of Doris Duke) and his sister, Henriett Louise Cromwell (first wife of General Douglas MacArthur). Since Leah's married name was Stiver, this seems impossible, just on the face of it. I have not been able to establish a link between Leah (Cromwell) Stiver and these more famous Cromwells.
