Notes
a. Note:   I. W. was known by family and friends as Ted. His sister Bessie's children kiddingly called him Uncle Tibby after one of her grandchildren called him that. According to his son Gordon, the origin of the nickname was a comic strip character of that era called Ted who always had an answer for everything, as he did. His education was severely restricted, as with most children of that era. He left school as an early teenager and went to work in the mines. Possibly because of this, he strongly advocated education and was always very proud when speaking of the academic achievements of his children. His marriage to Rosie Idelta Bloom on Feb. 4, 1914 in McCartney, performed by Charles Strong JP, was witnessed by Alfred and Maude Packer. During their 53 years of married life, they lived in Carnwath, Amesville, Madera, McCartney, Boardman, Carnwath, Madera and Kellytown. They came to Kellytown in 1929, moved within town in 1930 to the house where they spent the remainder of their lives. Ted was an avid supporter of the UMWA, including an immense admiration of John L. Lewis, and was politically a Democrat. He had a very strong sense of family, although for some reason he never talked about his early life or his father. He never had a picture of his father, but he carried a newspaper picture of Anthony Eden, stating that he was a dead ringer for his father. He enjoyed greatly working crossword puzzles, a trait passed on to many of his offspring. One of my fondest memories of him is sitting on the front porch, waving at nearly every car that passed, and when asked who it was would tell you who and who they were related to.
