I remember Rick and Patty from the bus ride. Both were quiet, but friendly. We played behind their house in the McCloud woods and occasionally wandered over to play games. Croquet is the most memorable. Noble was well known in the community and respected as well. It's hard to tell tales on this upright family. If anyone has any to tell I would be surprised. The Bowens were part of peaceful Coatesville far distant from the gas station and park crowd. I have few, but all good memories of them all.
On the other side was the Lindol Creech family, especially the pretty red-head Linda who was one year older than I. We rode the bus together and I would find reason to walk by her house occasionally speaking with her. Of course since she was a year older, I was of little notice I'm afraid. The family moved to Fillmore about 1959 or so.
Lindol M. Creech worked for IBM, was born in 1914 and died in 2000 in Florida where he had moved after his retirement. His father had moved from Wolfe County, Kentucky and was in Hendricks County before he married in 1909. Lindol's wife was named Ruth and I believe they had a son Lindol, Jr. Ruth also born in 1914 died in 1976.
Joanna Runnells married and moved to the corner of SR-75 where Dave Wingler now lives. Time has consumed memories of her husband. Her sister, Roberta, was mentioned before (in the Hathaway residence on Milton St.). Bobbi married Augustus "Pete" Kelly in 1969.
I believe there was another family on the north and two on the south side of Heavin Street.
Now, the trip down the memories of Walnut Street will resume. The first home on the north was Ronnie Smith and Barbara Awbrey. Barbara lived with Art and Esther Awbrey in school. I suppose she was their daughter although their age was such that she could be their granddaughter. We always accepted that she was a daughter.
I have much empathy for Barbara now. I wasn't as understanding at a young age, but she surely had a hard life. Barbara was overweight and it caused her much physical difficulty and people weren't as kind to her as she deserved. Ronnie Smith married her when I was still in high school. Ronnie also was a "big" guy to put it gently, but he wasn't as encouraging to Barbara as he could have been regarding her weight. Barbara was born in 1942 and died an early death in 1978. Ronald was born in 1940 and died in 2002. I believe Ronnie lived in Clayton before his death.
Upon reviewing old tax records I realized that Coatesville has "additions" even in the 1950s! For instance, you can see the Walton Additions and Phillips Additions on the plat map (Figure #16).
The Jocko Sanders family lived in the green composite shingle house next door or perhaps one house away from the Smiths. We were in competion! Who had the hardest time? Jocko worked at the grain elevator and Marie at various jobs. Later in her career she was a truck driver for Aircrast Electronic Specialties for several years.
What I remember about Marie, though, is that she was a worker. I remember her at auctions bidding on things for the family and perhaps to resale for a profit. Ethel Marie Annon was born in Ohio to Reason Annon. I would assume that her birth mother was Ora Davis, but I'm not certain. Census lists Marie as "black" on occasion and "white" at others. However, her siblings and parents were always listed as white. "Reason" is listed as her father on her birth records. Larry Sanders reports that his adoptive other's other, Ora, was of mixed race.
DeVee and John Sanders was born and lived their early childhood in Alton,IN.TheirFather was Laud DeVee Sanders ,he was born and raised in FT Mitchell ,KY He delivered supplies to the store in Alton owned by the Holcroft's this is how Laud and Maude met They married and stayed in Alton until he was shot and killed on the river .The murder is still unsolved , It is believed to have been over a woman Maude,Devee and John totally disappeared for like a 10 year span .And eventually showed up in Danville with David Jenkins ,I believe David and Maude plotted his murder .Devee and John had no use for him ,and it was a subject that wasn't talked about DeVee worked on the farm just west of Danville on the north side of 36,the last time I was there it is still a farm.Devee got a job at the elevator in Coatesville and moved there .Originally they lived in the 2nd house north of Walnut St on the west side of the street ,and Devee ended up buying the house on Walnut St.
Ethel Marie was born in Washington Courthouse ,Ohio ,Reason Annon was married and divorced in the 20's due to an affair by Ora ,since race was brought up ,she was mixed black .She was married to Ben Newlin and the marriage was short lived ,she had a son that died at an early age .She moved to Indiana ,and got pregnant by Bud Finley ..She was hired by DeVee to be a live in house keeper ,and ended up getting married ,DeVee adopted Jerry ,I was born in the house on Walnut St and was adopted neither is my biological parent .Marie had 3 more sons .James is the only biological son of Devee .
DeVee was struck by a car in Clearwater ,FL and died in the hospital there from massive head injuries .Marie had a massive stroke and was paralyzed on one side and blind for several years and died in what was Clarks Creek in Plainfield .John spent several years in the nursing home east of Danville before his death ,John suffered from spastic paralysis form birth .,I was told his Mother fell down a flight of stairs during pregnancy He sold Rose Bud salve for years . (Per Larry Sanders).
I suppose it's time to discuss what is now in vogue to discuss; race relations. Marie was partially of the black race who lived in a white world because 1950s Coatesville was not a mixed community. In 5th grade we had Phyllis Johnson from rural Amo who attended Coatesville School, but they moved out of the community early on. Some of Jocko's children had attributes like their mother and some did not. I never remember anyone making a difference in how they treated this family any different than other of us poorer families in town; and that was good!

Joe later leased land and grew tomatoes. I worked for him often, not only picking, but sitting on the planter feeding the wheel which delivered the young plants to the willing ground as they were inset and watered at the same time.
Joe and I were great friends. To this day I still have an affinity for immigrants from Mexico because of the genuineness of the Briones family. My only regret is that they never taught me Spanish! At times I was the only Caucasian in the field. I missed a golden opportunity!
Joe Briones later worked construction. He was working on New Winchester silo when he fell off and broke his back. When he was well I kidded him "Joe, I bet you never do that again!" He did. Joe died in another fall a few years later. Jose was born in 1923 and died in 1973. I believe members of his family still live in Coatesville. Joe made a great impression on me! He was motivated, industrious, loving and a great father and husband. I remember him fondly and his ready smile!
I'm making a point! The Briones and some of the Sanders were different from most of us, but they were readily accepted. In those days we were taught to be "the melting pot", but with progressive thinking, it's now "celebrate our differences". I'm a firm believer in looking beyond our differences and at our sameness. In these early days of the civil rights movement commencing in 1962, we were way ahead of the times. We accepted those different than us without paying much attention to those differences. With time we have unfortunately become separated because now who we are must always be defined!
I never even one time heard a racial epitaph used in derision. Sometimes the vernacular was different in those times, but I don't remember any racial hate.
Tongue-in-cheek I often say "Don't call them vandals, because I'm a Vandal and proud of it! because my ancestors were Viking Vandals. Yes, I'm a Vandal-American since some insist we identify our genetic composition.
With all that said, Marie was different and she was the first one to tell you. She was proud of her difference and had a right to be so. A picture in later years is below (from Ancestry.com; Figure #17):

| Figure #17: Ethel Marie Sanders |
You see in my life there were two worlds. I had never been taught to hate. My churches taught to love everybody. Then reality set in. Outside "Stepford-like" Coatesville was urban rage; rage which has yet to subside. I remember Marie and Jocko just as I remember Jose; good people who fit in.
Ethel Marie Annon was born in 1924 an died in 2003. Jocko and Marie were married in New Winchester in 1949. She had children older than that and perhaps Jerry and another were by a previous marriage? She is listed on the Social Security roles in 1988 as Newlan for some reason, and later as Ethel Marie Sanders again. Larry said that she had been married to Newlin, but divorced and that Marie had been Jocko's housekeeper before they were married.
Marie had children: Jerry Sanders, James, Greg, Charlie, and Larry Sanders, My memory is mostly of Jerry and Larry, both of whom rode my school bus. Larry was adopted.
My guess is that Marie's father came to live with them in later life because Reason Annon is buried in Coatesville Cemetery, dying in 1960.
Jocko was well known, but not enough that his real name was a household word! He was always at Coatesville elevator with a hat and a smile. His name is Dee Vee Rice Sanders, no wonder he went by "Jocko"! He was born in 1907 and died in 1990. Marie was his wife at the time of his death.
Dee Vee was the son of Land D. Sanders and Maud H. Hollcroft coming from Crawford County, Indiana. His brother John Franklin Sanders lived with his mother and stepfather David Jenkins on Rockville Road for a time, but with Jocko most of his adult life.
John was born in 1918 to the same parents and lived in Coatesville until he died in 1993. He was affectionately known as Johnny. Johnny had a crippling disease. I'm not sure it was from birth, but perhaps multiple sclerosis. His legs were twisted and his speech had a slight impediment which troubled him. He was a small man compared to Jocko who was likely near six feet.
Johnny left an indelible impression on me, not because he was successful, handsome, brilliant or popular, but because he was sincere. He loved to visit! He had a spark in his eyes which impediment failed to dim. Before automation Johnny propelled with his twisted hands, that old wooden wheelchair all over town selling black salve which was common for whatever the ailment was at the time! It wasn't charity which he sought, but profits from his labors! Because of his drive, I'm motivated. It's for him that I wrote the poem Ode to Johnny Sanders and had it published because he deserves being remembered!
You see, Johnny still lives in my memory as he surely does yours as well. His "work ethic" and "genuineness" is filed there with the word "cripple" for a legacy to the ages. I thought it unfair that Johnny would be forgotten so I saw fit to immortalize him!
Johnny was a fan of Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz series of books. He had them all! They were well-read and soiled, but he loaned them one at a time to me as he had surely done many others over his lifetime. He was my library on wheels who tucked the book in his knapsack in his rickety chair and hand delivered it. You could tell it was precious because of the gleam in his eyes!
I read them all! They are still my favorites outside the Bible and Nicholas and Alexandria, but at that time they were tops! Robinson Crusoe was tough competition I remember because I read Defoe's book five times. It took me for a time away from Coatesville and put me there on my own island with my man Friday.
If the Sanders family still had those books and they were in great shape, they would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Johnny wasn't wealthy while he lived, but ironically is rich in death!
Johnny's black salve reminded me of so much. I still have black salve in my medicine cabinet. It feels left out with my aloe vera and antiseptics, but it still has its uses!
My family seldom went to the doctor, let alone the dentist! I went once to Franklin because they suspected the 1950s plague which was feared by all. Thanks to Jonas Salk the young have never felt the scourge of poliomyelitis "polio", but it was feared more than the low flying bombers overhead as the world got close to five-minutes to midnight which we again approach after 7 more minutes of reprieve after socialism was wiped from the Soviet Republic.
Dad's medicine was onion tea for a cold, caster oil for the appetite, black salve for skin damage, soda for heart burn and to brush our teeth and an occasional 7-Up to delude us into feeling better!
Cavities were my nemesis. My earliest memories are of continual toothaches because we had never heard the word "dentist"! When I was twelve I bummed a ride from my brother Carroll to see Dr. Trippett in Greencastle. I had heard that he charged $3.00 per tooth for extraction. I had never even heard about fillings and he didn't tell me. He pulled three decayed molars for a total of $9.00 and I still have those spaces of which rib-eyes often remind me! But gaps were better than the alternative!
Before Trippett tripped all over me, my recesses at school were spent lying in pain with gauze in my cavity, tempered with the smell of red toothache medicine. Each bottle cost 25 cents and when I worked I saved enough to always have a bottle in my pocket. If I had spent less money on bubblegum, then I could have saved on this red elixir. I learned prevention too late, but still have my teeth. Coatesville made me a lover! I love dentists who drill, file and fill. It's heaven to know that toothache pain was left far behind.
I have few memories of the Sanders boys and none of the girls. They were always well behaved and friendly. Jerry was noted for his leather jacket and combed back curly hair and his auburn complexion. Larry was also of the same countenance and polite and nice. Memories of them have frozen them in time. May they be there forever!
The next family is the Delps. Because they are many and the stories more, the next intstallment will start with them. In the meantime it struck me that some history might intrigue the reader and there is much to learn! Outside of having no idea of where the village of Mimosa was in Hendricks County, although Pecksburg and Springtown, are known, I learned much. Perhaps the reader will as well.

Just a few notes on the rise of Coatesville and the pattern of immigration. This information is from 1874, There were several events which brought people to this town. The opening of the land in the state and the mass immigration to Indiana circa 1830, the period before the Civil War when southerners were leaving slave states for social and religious reasons, the period after the Civil War when people from the south were starting a new life after their losses, and then the opening of the railroads here in central Indiana. Of course there were other reasons, but these are some of them. Others came because their professions were demanded here or because the land is fertile! It's much easier to grow corn in the loam of the prairies of Indiana than the rocky hills of Kentucky and Tennessee.
This pattern of migration continued after 1874. Jobs after WWII brought many from the southern states to Indiana in mass around 1950. My own family came from the hills of Shopville in Pulaski County, Kentucky to a land which promised jobs in 1953. Dad made the trek first as a tomato picker and farm hand, then was blessed when the far away wars caused Allison to produce much of the military hardware needed to fight evil throughout the world. After the Korean War a military production downturn occurred after the cease fire (we are still at war officially with North Korea), and Chevrolet Motor Division on White River Parkway in Indianapolis took many of the no longer needed Allison employees. Dad transferred there in circa 1963 and worked at Chevrolet until his retirement at age 65. Many of those families in Coatesville at that time had much the same story!
For those who lived in rural Coatesville and were farmers, the information above approximates location. For instance "1 m s e Coatesville" means "1 mile south east of Coatesville".
For religious affiliation "R. Baptist" means "Regular Baptist" and "M. Baptist" are the "Missionary Baptists".
There are patterns. For instance most northern Methodists were Republicans. This is because of the "social justice" and anti-slavery fever of that denomination. Of course there were anti-slavery Democrats and some did go the the Methodist Church.
On the other hand most Democrats were Baptists or at least Protestants. Today Methodists are considered "Protestant", but their independence from Catholicism came a different route through the Church of England. Likewise, the propensity of people from the south was to be baptists for their growth was from the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky to Indiana. This era was barely a hundred years removed from "State Churches" and the avoidance of those state churches were what brought many west.
Baptists were always connected to independence and independent minded people were restless. This restlessness motivated many to migrate. Religion brought many northward.
Those who are designated "Christian" were usually of that denomination. They too came from the south as Kentucky was most prominent in the origin of the Christian "denomination" with the ministry of Barton Stone and his alliance with the Campbellites.
Those who claim "Protestant" were either unaffiliated or Calvinists who worshiped at home or with similar denominations. There doctrine was more Primitive Baptist or Regular Baptist and some perhaps Presbyterian, of which there were no churches in Coatesville. "Friends" were what we then and now colloquially refer to as "Quakers". The development of Indiana at that time was done by many "Friends", as Davidson pointed out, of whom many of the Hadleys represented.
You can see from the information that Coatesville was a thriving town at the time this information was recorded. It had merchants, farmers of course, traders, grocers. druggists, etc. many who occupied buildings which are still extant!
Many of you have ancestors in this list. It may not be those who are paternal, but never forget your mother nor your mother's mother. Your blood likely flows from many of the veins of these early settlers in Clay Township. I would encourage you to seek more because each of us are composites of who preceded us! Some of you are of the same fabric of those in this list. Some of you Hoosiers, even the ones who ridiculed us later transplants, have bluegrass and ridge top waters flowing through your veins. You each may have a Lincoln in you and not even be aware of it!
Some old farmers and their families were listed in the following publication. Some are familiar; others less known. Consider the following adventurers of 1919. I have abstracted those of Coatesville who supplied the needs of the community and places beyond.

Just a few notes on the rise of Coatesville and the pattern of immigration. This information is from 1874, There were several events which brought people to this town. The opening of the land in the state and the mass immigration to Indiana circa 1830, the period before the Civil War when southerners were leaving slave states for social and religious reasons, the period after the Civil War when people from the south were starting a new life after their losses, and then the opening of the railroads here in central Indiana. Of course there were other reasons, but these are some of them. Others came because their professions were demanded here or because the land is fertile! It's much easier to grow corn in the loam of the prairies of Indiana than the rocky hills of Kentucky and Tennessee.
This pattern of migration continued after 1874. Jobs after WWII brought many from the southern states to Indiana in mass around 1950. My own family came from the hills of Shopville in Pulaski County, Kentucky to a land which promised jobs in 1953. Dad made the trek first as a tomato picker and farm hand, then was blessed when the far away wars caused Allison to produce much of the military hardware needed to fight evil throughout the world. After the Korean War a military production downturn occurred after the cease fire (we are still at war officially with North Korea), and Chevrolet Motor Division on White River Parkway in Indianapolis took many of the no longer needed Allison employees. Dad transferred there in circa 1963 and worked at Chevrolet until his retirement at age 65. Many of those families in Coatesville at that time had much the same story!
For those who lived in rural Coatesville and were farmers, the information above approximates location. For instance "1 m s e Coatesville" means "1 mile south east of Coatesville".
For religious affiliation "R. Baptist" means "Regular Baptist" and "M. Baptist" are the "Missionary Baptists".
There are patterns. For instance most northern Methodists were Republicans. This is because of the "social justice" and anti-slavery fever of that denomination. Of course there were anti-slavery Democrats and some did go the the Methodist Church.
On the other hand most Democrats were Baptists or at least Protestants. Today Methodists are considered "Protestant", but their independence from Catholicism came a different route through the Church of England. Likewise, the propensity of people from the south was to be baptists for their growth was from the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky to Indiana. This era was barely a hundred years removed from "State Churches" and the avoidance of those state churches were what brought many west.
Baptists were always connected to independence and independent minded people were restless. This restlessness motivated many to migrate. Religion brought many northward.
Those who are designated "Christian" were usually of that denomination. They too came from the south as Kentucky was most prominent in the origin of the Christian "denomination" with the ministry of Barton Stone and his alliance with the Campbellites.
Those who claim "Protestant" were either unaffiliated or Calvinists who worshiped at home or with similar denominations. There doctrine was more Primitive Baptist or Regular Baptist and some perhaps Presbyterian, of which there were no churches in Coatesville. "Friends" were what we then and now colloquially refer to as "Quakers". The development of Indiana at that time was done by many "Friends", as Davidson pointed out, of whom many of the Hadleys represented.
You can see from the information that Coatesville was a thriving town at the time this information was recorded. It had merchants, farmers of course, traders, grocers. druggists, etc. many who occupied buildings which are still extant!
Many of you have ancestors in this list. It may not be those who are paternal, but never forget your mother nor your mother's mother. Your blood likely flows from many of the veins of these early settlers in Clay Township. I would encourage you to seek more because each of us are composites of who preceded us! Some of you are of the same fabric of those in this list. Some of you Hoosiers, even the ones who ridiculed us later transplants, have bluegrass and ridge top waters flowing through your veins. You each may have a Lincoln in you and not even be aware of it!
Some old farmers and their families were listed in the following publication. Some are familiar; others less known. Consider the following adventurers of 1919. I have abstracted those of Coatesville who supplied the needs of the community and places beyond.
