>From The Oak Ridger 20 May 2003 Louise Valentine Lipe Moore, 96, James W. "Jim" Ridings, 66, of Huntsville, Ala., Deborah Jo "Debbie" Smith, 49, of Oak Ridge, Genevieve Szady, 86, Anthony Kim Davis, 32, of Clinton, Benjamin Franklin "Frank" Standifer, 86, ===================================== Louise Valentine Lipe Moore, 96, died Saturday, May 17, 2003, at Briarcliff Health Care Center. Born Feb. 14, 1907, in Washington, her family later settled in Biltmore, N.C. where she grew up. Life in Biltmore provided many athletic and social opportunities for her. She became the star player for the Biltmore High School basketball team, as well as the star player for the All-Star Sextets, Montgomery Ward, the YWCA and many others. Despite her athletic superiority, her family says she set the example of congeniality with her flair and grace as she attended many parties, dances and teas. After graduating from Biltmore High School in 1923, her athletic talent continued to provide the local headlines with quotes like "L. Lipe ... displayed rare ability and was the outstanding star of the game ..." and "... red-haired girls more athletic, coach thinks ..." Basketball was not her only talent, as she was an excellent swimmer and later became a lifeguard, through the American National Red Cross in 1927, her family said. Having lived through The Great Depression, she supported her family being the only one of seven children to find work. She managed a gift shop for the Battery Park Hotel in Asheville, N.C., where she was able to provide for family needs and still tend to the social activities she enjoyed so well. The late 1930s found her relocating to Charleston, S.C., where she managed a gift shop at the Francis Marion Hotel. This is where she fell in love with William Hewitt Moore of Philadelphia, Penn. Mrs. Moore remained in Charleston until 1943 after the birth of her first child, Patricia Louise Moore. It was then that her husband received the opportunity to work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, during the Manhattan Project, the secret government city and home of the atomic bomb, her family said. Because housing was provided for families during that period, the birth of her son, Edwin Moore, the family was provided a larger home on East Forest Road. Mrs. Moore became an active member of a thriving community for many years. She had to return to work after the death of her husband and worked at the Laughing Monkey in Jackson Square. During the next 30 years, she continued to live fully and spent the rest of her life in Oak Ridge, her family said. Being a proud Oak Ridger, she would tell anyone who would listen about the lively stories of life in Oak Ridge's early years. She was a leader in everything she was involved in, church, civic groups, women's clubs, bridge clubs and so on. Mrs. Moore is survived by her son, Edwin Moore, of Huntington, Ind.; and her granddaughter, Heather Hewitt Haselton of Bluffton, S.C. A graveside service was to be at 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 20, 2003, at Oak Ridge Memorial Park. The family requests that any memorials be in the form of donations to the American Council for the Blind. Martin Oak Ridge Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. James W. "Jim" Ridings, 66, of Huntsville, Ala., died Thursday, May 15, 2003, at a Hunstville Hospital.

Tina, I don't know who Clarinda's parents are. I also have Charles' children as those of Nancy White rather than Clarinda as you suggest. My guess is he had children with both otherwise Clarinda spent her whole married life pregnant -- 6 kids in 6 years. This is what I have: Charles H. West was born 3 Aug 1841 in TN, died 19 May 1930 and is buried in the Braytown Cemetery, Braytown, Anderson Co, TN. He married (1) Clarinda Bowling 9 Jan 1868 in Anderson Co, TN. He married (2) Nancy White 13 Mar 1874 in Anderson Co, TN. Children of Charles West and Nancy White are: 2 i. William West. 3 ii. Joel West, born in Scott Co, TN. 4 iii. Pleasant West. 5 iv. Elijah West. 6 v. Rachel West. 7 vi. Green Berry West, born 8 Jan 1872; died 7 Feb 1947. Generation No. 2 3. Joel West was born in Scott Co, TN. He married Litha E. Harness 13 Aug 1895 in Scott Co, TN. She was born in Scott Co, TN. Child of Joel West and Litha Harness is: 8 i. Angeline West, born 21 May 1901 in Scott Co, TN; died 21 Apr 1953 in Oak Ridge, Anderson Co, TN. She married Lawrence Stringer Sep 1939; born Abt. 1884. Is any of this helpful? Can you fill in some of my holes? ...tim west... TravisandTina wrote: > Does anyone out there know who the parents of Clarinda Bowling was? She was born in 1843 and married Charles H. West.
