In 1940, he married Dorothy Grubbs (1919-2015) in Norfolk; the couple would have four sons. By 1940, Jeffress was living in Tonawanda, New York, and was employed by DuPont. Jeffress served in World War II and eventually retired a lieutenant colonel. He worked as an engineering superintendent for DuPont, retiring after 39 years. William Horace Jeffress died on July 28, 2006, and was buried in Norfolk.","The VPI Alumni Fund was established in 1937 by a committee chaired by William E. Wine (class of 1904).  The following year, dues in the VPI Alumni Association were eliminated, replaced by voluntary donations. Overseen by the Alumni Fund Council, the fund's primary function, according to a 1939 booklet, was to provide \"a means for the united action of the alumni in expressing their devotion and loyalty to Alma Mater ...\" and to provide \"a more adequate Alumni Association and refinements at Virginia Tech for which state appropriations are not available.\" In 1964, the University Development Council was established to coordinate all university fundraising efforts. The Alumni Association continued to be supported through gifts to the Alumni Annual Fund until 1991, when it merged with the university's annual fundraising program and its operations became supported by the Virginia Tech Foundation.","The guide to the William Horace Jeffress Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing and description of the William Horace Jeffress Papers commenced and was completed in April, 2021.","This collection contains the papers of William Horace Jeffress, a 1934 graduate of the Virginia Polytechnic School of Engineering. The papers relate to Jeffress' role as a class manager for the VPI Alumni Fund. The collection includes a booklet, \"The Founders' Roll: V. P. I. Alumni Fund,\" a history of the fund, the names of officers and founding donors, and a financial statement. Also included is Jeffress' class manager's hand book, which includes fund newsletters, circular letters, lists of donors, blank letterhead sheets, and promotional material for the 1940 fund. Also in the collection is a sign from the door of Jeffress' dormitory room, reading \"First Sergeant Jeff Battery O,\" from the 1932/1933 school year.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

After obtaining a bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Georgetown College, Threlkeld served as assistant principal of a Madisonville, Kentucky high school from 1915 to 1917. He served as a lieutenant in the army during World War I, then worked as an instructor in Michigan (1920-1921), a science teacher at Hargrave Academy (1922-1927), and an instructor and research fellow in biology at the University of Virginia, where he would earn his master's (1929) and doctoral (1934) degrees in parasitology. In 1929, Threlkeld was hired as an assistant professor of zoology and biology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. In 1938, he was named associate professor; in 1957, professor. Following his 1958 retirement from VPI, Threlkeld worked as a professor of biology at Milligan College from 1959 to 1961 and at Shorter College from 1961 to 1964. He married Carrie Louise Vaden (1898-1994) in 1924, and the couple had three children. William L. Threlkeld died in June, 1988 and was buried in Chatham Burial Park, Chatham (Pittsylvania County), Virginia.","The guide to the William Logan Threlkeld Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the William Logan Threlkeld Papers commenced and was completed in June, 2012.","This collection contains the papers of William Logan Threlkeld, professor of zoology and biology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute from 1929 to 1958. The collection contains biographical materials, personal and professional correspondence, research files, and printed materials.","Though there is much overlap between the personal and professional correspondence, letters of a predominantly personal nature from family members, aquaintances, former teachers, and former students, are found at the beginning of the collection. Also from Threlkeld's personal life are a collection of materials relating to various awards and memberships, as well as his military service. A folder of biographical materials contains a booklet about the Threlkeld School, operated by Threlkeld's father; a 1929 biology exam book from University of Virginia; a bibliography of Threlkeld's works; and various biographical sketches. Also relating to Threlkeld's personal life is material on the honor society of Sigma Xi. The collection also contains numerous opinion pieces written by Threlkeld, a number of them in the form of letters written to newspapers and political figures and largely focused on communism. Accompanying these pieces is a small collection of printed materials reflecting Threlkeld's political views.","From Threlkeld's professional career, the collection contains several subject files relating to both his scientific research and his work for the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. Included are project folders on parasites in cattle, sheep, and swine, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between cobalt deficiency and the presence of parasites in sheep. The correspondents include not only other researchers but various Virginia farmers with whom Threlkeld worked. These folders contain correspondence, project reports, and notes. The collection also contains a folder of general research correspondence, as well as professional correspondence not directly tied to any specific research and administrative correspondence relating to Threlkeld's career, students, and retirement. Also included is a collection of Threlkeld's publications as well as files relating to his book, Some Nematode Parasites of Domestic Animals. These folders contain reprint requests, book orders, and business records and correspondence relating to the book's publication.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

During the next five years, he was involved in construction of the B\u0026O Railroad Susquhanna River bridge at Havre de Grace, Maryland, and the Ohio River bridge at Point Pleasant, West virginia, among other projects and also served as chief engineer of the Mobile and Birmingham and the Louisville, St. Louis and Texas railways. In 1887, he reutrned to VMI as chair of civil engineering and remained for two years. From 1889 to 1896, Patton was chiefly engaged in writing A Practical Treatise on Foundations and A Treatise on Civil Engineering, while also working on various engineering projects, including the Chicago Drainage Canal. In 1896, Patton was appointed the civil engineering chair at Virginia Agricultural \u0026 Mechanical College (now Virginia Tech); he was named the first dean of the university's engineering department in 1904, and held that position until his death the following year.","The guide to the William MacFarland Patton Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the William MacFarland Patton Papers commenced and was completed in February 2011.","This collection contains the papers of William MacFarland Patton, a professor of civil engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
