TO RELATIVES
& FRIENDS: 177
===============================
TRANSFER OF MEMORIALS: If you wish to "adopt" any memorials we entered for your loved ones or friends, simply e-mail: MIDDLEFORK2846@GMAIL.COM and we will make it happen!
===============================
PHOTOS AVAILABLE. You may freely copy OUR photos in Find A Grave; no permission is required. We took these photos of your loved ones' final resting places to share with you!
===============================
WHY WE DO THIS!
J.R. is an Army (1965-1968) Vietnam Vet, with 400 days in-country (1967-1968), 627th Supply Company, 1st Log Command (Leaning Outhouse)! He served in An Khe, Qui Nhon, Pleiku, Cam Rahn Bay, Saigon, Long Bien and Da Nang.
We both retired (after 82 combined years of Federal Service) from the VA Hospital at Oteen, Asheville, NC. Patty served 38 of her 43 years as a DoD/VA civilian. JR spent 24 of his 38 years with DoD/VA. We have a special place in our hearts for the military & veterans! We don't want even one veteran "forgotten." Our goal is to ensure there is a memorial for every veteran buried in TRANSYLVANIA County, NC!
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their Nation." (quoted) PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1789.
===============================
OUR ROOTS:
J.R.'s roots are in Portsmouth, Scioto, OH; Harlan, Harland Co., KY; & Paducah, McCracken Co. KY; and Virginia. J.R. is an adopted triplet, whose birth name was "PAUL BROWN." He was one of the FIRST set of triplets ever born in Portsmouth Hospital!
Patty has roots in Wash. DC, Virginia, Franklin Co. PA, Venango Co. PA, & Quincy, Franklin Co., PA; Kilbehenny, Co. Limerick, Ireland; Scotland, and perhaps Antrim, Northern Ireland.
===============================
OTHER THINGS WE DO:
This is our 19th year in Pigeon Valley Bassmasters, Canton, NC. We fish bass tournaments in NC, SC, GA, & TN. JR is Conservation Chairman; he & Patty picked up 10,000 lbs. of litter & recycles at every lake fished since 2004! We bowl twice-a-week, and hit golf balls when we find the time!
===============================
APPRECIATION IS EXTENDED to all contributors to Find A Grave for helping others find the final resting places of their loved ones.

Hello Patty,
I think I will be able to get you some more info on the McFerrens. My ex wife was a McFerren from Quincy, PA, which is about 1/2 mile from Snow Hill, so I will keep you informed as I receive more info.
