Cecil Clark Cadle [21656]

  General Notes:

One story my brother Melvin Cadle told me concerned Dad had Mom send away for the magnifying glasses to make a telescope. He used card board tubes that linoleum came on (he got them from Leef's store) to build a telescope. Melvin said after they got it built, you could see flies flying around the cows standing on the hill by the barn above Leef's store. This happened in the late 40's shortly after the war.

Marriage Notes for GENEVA LIVELY and CECIL CADLE:
Information given to Donna Cadle Witt by Geneva Lively Cadle on 3/15/01:

When Mom and Dad first got married they lived close to Beckley while Dad worked on a sawmill. They lived with the people who owned the sawmill.

Then they moved in with Grandma and Grandpa Cadle. They lived with them when Marvin Ray died.

Then they moved to the Hoover place (now owned by Vernon Bird), which belonged to Uncle Everet Cadle, which was across from Uncle Clifton Will's home in Grassy Meadows. Mae was little when they lived there and "little" Opal (Aunt Frankie Shrewsbury Clark's daughter) lived with them too. Little Opal lived with them because she didn't have a home and just stayed with whoever wanted her.

From there they moved to Green Sulphur to a house owned by Fern Shumate's parents. It was located about two miles above Grandma and Grandpa Lively's home. Mae and Little Opal lived there. Dad was working at a sawmill on Charlie Hick's place while they were living there.

From there they moved to the farm at Grassy Meadows around the first of December, 1934. Jess Nester built the frame for the farm house and had the roof on it, but it was basically just a shell. The original house had burned. It was in exactly the same place. It was an old two story house. They bought the farm from Grandpa and Grandpa Cadle. Helen Faye was the first child born at the farm. The rest of us were born while they lived there. They sold the farm in the fall (September) of 1969 and moved to 116 6th St., Rainelle, WV. Joe & Watha Moses Simmons built the house in Rainelle.

Cecil married Geneva Alice Lively [4119] [MRIN: 7280], daughter of Frank Bunyan Lively [4093] and Effie Caroline Johnson [4117], on 2 Dec 1927 in Ironton, Ohio. (Geneva Alice Lively [4119] was born on 22 Jan 1913 in Chestnut Grove, West Virginia.)
