Notes:

Family lore says that Eliza Ruth Pleasant was the daughter of Garfield Pleasant and his first wife Eliza J. Morley. Further research is required to prove this. Eliza Ruth Pleasant would have been the third child of Garfield and Eliza J. Morley, and was born on 23 Jun 1904. Eliza J. Morley Pleasant died on 18 Aug 1904. Prior to the 1910 Johnson County census, Garfield married Ella O. Treadway. The 1910 census lists:
Household 237
Garfield Pleasant 28 TN
Ella O. 28 TN
Clarence E. 10 TN
Maude O. 8 TN
Arthur C. 2 TN
Martha E. 1Mo TN

Eliza Ruth is not listed here, but rather in the household of Garfield's father:

Household 53
William H. Pleasant 68 TN
Martha 49 TN
Blane H. 15 TN
Walter B. 13 TN
Nellie E. 12 TN
Randall 7 TN
Eliza R. 5 TN [Granddaughter]

Eliza R. is also listed in William Pleasant's household in 1920:

Household 125
William H. Pleasant 78 TN VA PA
Rondal 17 TN TN TN
Lizzie 16 TN TN TN Granddaughter

Garfield PLeasant's second wife, Ella O. Treadway died on 21 Jun 1918. He married his third wife, Eunice H. ____ prior to the 1920 census, which lists:

Household 129
Garfield A. Pleasant 38 TN TN TN
Eunice H. 21 NC NC NC
Maude O. 18 TN TN TN
Arthur C. 14 "
Eva M. 12 "
Harry A. 3 "

So, Eliza Ruth Pleasant is never listed as a member of Garfields household, but is listed as a granddaughter of William H. Pleasant.

Reportedly, Garfield did not want the responsibility of raising a newborn child, and so Eliza Ruth Pleasant was raised by her grandparents. Hopefully, a birth record can be found which will prove this relationship.

Eliza married Eddie William B. Arnold on 15 May 1920 in Johnson County, , , Tennessee. Eddie (son of John Henry Arnold and Elizabeth D. Robinson) was born on 28 Aug 1899 in Johnson County, , , Tennessee; died on 10 Nov 1989 in Johnson County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Happy Valley Memorial Park, , Carter County, Tennessee.

Wayne was born in Neeva, TN on August 18, 1926 and lived in Butler, TN until he was drafted into the Army in 1944. After serving time in the Army, Wayne elected to join the Navy in 1948.

He married his "Darling" Georgie Mae Potter on October 22nd, 1948, and they were married happily for 68 years. During their lives together they made their home in all four corners of the country, living for a time in Rhode Island, Maine, Florida, Washington, California, Virginia, and returned to Tennessee where he lived from 1971 until the day of his death, July 31st, 2017.

Wayne instilled a love of living in his children and grandchildren, grounded in his belief that there was little reason to worry when God was in control. He loved nature and whether he was camping with his family, riding motorcycles around the mountains, or just sitting outside listening to the birds, he was at peace enjoying the beauty around him.

Wayne loved his family. He was the proud father of two children, four grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. He is survived by Larry (and his wife Dawn) and Karen (and her husband, Mike); four grandchildren, Lisa, Dana (and her fiancé Robert), Dustin (and his wife, Crystal), and Robert (and his wife, Fran); and proud great-grandfather to Makenzie, Ashley, Sophia, Trinity, Aaron, Seth, and Liam. Nothing made him smile easier than the smiles of his children. He is also survived by his loving younger sister, Pearl Matherly, and his wife, Georgie, who remained in his thoughts until his last days on this earth.

Wayne will always be remembered as a kind, caring, honest and thoughtful man who loved to smile, laugh, and tell stories. He never met a stranger, he loved talking to everyone he met and couldn't be pulled away from a lively conversation. He enjoyed whittling and his woodworking kept him quite busy for years. Strangers and family alike can attest to the presence of letter openers, birds and walking sticks that Wayne gifted to them over the years.

As a family, we will miss his smile, his laugh, and his company. We were blessed to have him in our lives as long as we did.

Services will be held at the VA in Johnson City, TN on Tuesday, August 8th beginning promptly at 10:00 am.
