David Heatwole, with his wife Magdalene and young family in tow, left Pennsylvania in the late-eighteenth century and settled near Harrisonburg, Virginia.","Heatwole family members documented in this collection are fourth and fifth generation descendants of David Heatwole and include Daniel Franklin \"D.

In 1893, Daniel F. Heatwole was appointed postmaster to Sparkling Springs in Rockingham County and in 1899, he was appointed by Judge Grattan to land assessor of the Linville District. He otherwise occupied himself with agricultural pursuits as a farmer.","Ella Heatwole Jacobson graduated from the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1912 with a professional degree. While a student, Ella was a member of the Lee Literary Society and also served as chairwoman of the YWCA's bible study committee. Prior to marrying Anton Nikolai Jacobson on February 7, 1917 and moving to Cutbank, Montana, where her brother Elmer was also a resident, Ella taught school in Rockingham County, Virginia and was a member of the Singers Glen Baptist Church. She died August 21, 1918 in Montana from a complication of diseases. Her body was returned to Virginia in the company of her parents and her brother Elmer. She is buried at Cooks Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery.","David F. Lineweaver, Sallie Heatwole's father, is also well-documented in this collection. Daniel F. Heatwole, Sallie's husband, acted as the administrator of Lineweaver's estate.","Leonard Heatwole married Nora Ellen Trumbo Heatwole (1894-1987) on June 18, 1925. Leonard served with the American Expeditionary Forces in France during WWI and was the registrar of the Mt. Clinton precinct for 35 years prior to retiring in 1967. Nora was born January 29, 1894 to John Riddle Trumbo and Sarah Fulk Trumbo of Fulks Run, Virginia. The collection descended through this line of the Heatwole family via Leonard and Nora's daughter Madeline Ann Heatwole Stewart (1926-2012) and her husband Donald William Stewart (b. 1920).","A full genealogy of the Heatwole family can be found in Harry Anthony Brunk's David Heatwole and His Descendants (1987). A thorough genealogical study of the Trumbo family is available in \nConrad Feltner's The Trumbo Family (1974).","The collection was donated with basic groupings applied to materials (e.g. Trumbo family photographs were grouped together, Ella Heatwole Jacobson materials were grouped together, all postcards were grouped together regardless of recipient). The collection included several full newspaper issues that were collected for family obituaries. Those obituaries were photocopied and the original newspapers discarded. Other miscellaneous non-local newspapers were discarded.","The Heatwole Family Papers, 1838-2001, document descendants of David Heatwole (1767-1842) who moved to Rockingham County, Virginia from Pennsylvania in the late-eighteenth century. The collection documents the Heatwoles of Mt. Clinton and Dale Enterprise as well as the Trumbos of Fulks Run. Materials include correspondence, financial records, account books and ledgers, personal papers, photographs, recipes, and ephemera. The collection also documents branches of the Lineweaver, Fawley, Ritchie, and Bliss families.","A copy of the Catalogue of the Officers and Students of West Central Academy, Mt. Clinton, Virginia.

Heatwole originally took a job as a woodcarver with the Virginia Craftsmen Furniture Company in Harrisonburg, Va., and three years later he opened his own woodcarving shop in Bridgewater, Va. Heatwole drew on folklore and family sotries as inspiration for his wood carvings. Using only hand tools and a secret color staining process, Heatwole became widely recognized as a local artist of note. In addition to artist and woodcarver, he was also locally known as a tour guide, historian and folklorist in the Shenandoah Valley. Throughout his lifetime he sat on various committees and boards related to both art and history, and received many awards for his work. He chaired the Rockingham County Bicentennial Committee and in 1991 he was the first Virginian to display art in the National Capital Rotunda.

Given the notations present in his notebook, it seems likely that Spitler was pursuing a career in land surveying or at least learning the trade.

Both Spitlers died of cholera en route to their destination.","The first section of the notebook includes notes, rules, and calculations used for surveying and plotting land. Sections include \"The Pennsylvania Method of Calculation,\" \"Field Note Exercises in Plotting,\" \"Rule for Dividing Land,\" \"Division of Land According to David's Problem,\" and \"Height \u0026 Distances.\" Diagrams show how to calculate different angles or plots of land. Of particular interest is a diagram of a tree and a pond with angles drawn to calculate the height of the tree.","The second section of the notebook, titled \"A Journey to Kansas Territory\" and comprising approximately six pages, includes Spitler's travel diary documenting his and his father's trip from Augusta County to Kansas City for a church conference. The two left Virginia on April 4, 1855. His second entry reads: \"crossed the Augusta line, fired a grand salute to the old Augusta. Fare the well Augusta, I may never see thy mountains and hills again. Farewell.\" Spitler's almost daily entries document geographic landmarks, cities, and distance traveled. Notable locations include the Allegheny Mountains, Greenbrier River, Ohio River, Mississippi River, Cincinatti, and Louisville. Spitler also describes steamboats he saw and traveled on including the Empire City bound for Pittsburgh and the Washington City bound for St. Louis. Spitler and his father last traveled on the New Lucy which departed St. Louis on April 21, 1855 bound for Kansas City, Missouri. Soon after Spitler writes \"Monday 23rd on the Missouri River, man died with the colera [sic] Monday night. Tues. 24th, stuck on a sand bar near by all day.\" The travel diary concludes with this entry. John W. Spitler and his father Reverend Jacob Spitler died of cholera just days later, on April 26 and April 30 respectively.","The notebook exhibits typical wear, with the cloth separating from the board covers.

The Sprinkel family homestead was located on the corner of Main and Rock streets. The local African-American church and school were located in this the same section of town, suggesting why Jordan mentions the deaths of several local African Americans in her 1879 diary. The 1879 diary also contains mentions of her granddaughters, \"Mag\" (Margaret) and Mary.

Grymes Heneberger found the diary in 1960 and had it transcribed. He self-published a small run of copies which he offered for sale and distributed to local libraries.","The 1879-1883 diary was part of the Harrison family estate of Harrisonburg, Virginia.","While the 1862-1864 diary does not include any explicit identifying information about the creator, contextual information confirms it was  written by Mary Jordan of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Both December 5 entries in the diary (1862 and 1863) record Jordan's exact birthday and year. This corresponds to the birth year recorded in the 1879-1883 diary. Additionally, the handwriting in present in both diaries matches as does the scribbling used to separate diary entries.","In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2018. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 4025.","The collection is comprised of two bound diaries kept by Mary Jordan of Harrisonburg.","The first diary dates from May 9, 1862 through August 22, 1864. Jordan's entries describe the death of Turner Ashby (\"Col. Ashby was killed this evening. Poor Ashby poor fellow\"), the Battle of New Market and other battles of note, troop and prisoner movements through Harrisonburg, death and burials of local soldiers, and Union soldiers movements. Additional entries of note include May 7, 1863: \"The Yankee's advanceing great excitement in Town and Country people moveing cattle and negroes and all the commisary stores there was never so much confusion in this place before.\"","Names of Charles Frank Echard (1870-1941) family members are penciled in the diary and post-date Mary Jordan's entries.
