Notes:

Mike DeLoach grew up in Campbell Hollow, near Doeville in Johnson County, Tennessee. He attended Doeville Elementary School and the Watauga Academy in Butler, Tennessee. When his family moved to Washington County in about 1934, he attended Jonesborough High School, where he graduated with honors and was the president of his class. His first employment was with the North American Rayon Corporation in Elizabethton, Tennessee. He grew tired of the shift work and working conditions at NARC, and quit that job in 1952. After holding a couple of temporary jobs as a used car salesman and working in the Circulation Department of the Johnson City Press Chronicle, he became a full time carpenter. He worked for several construction contractors, and later became a Building Trades Instructor at Daniel Boone High School in Gray, Tennessee. During his life, he was an active member of the Calvary Presbyterian Church in Johnson City, and the Fairview Methodist Church in the Fairview Community near Jonesborough. He was the first Cubmaster for Pack 38, sponsored by the Calvary Presbyterian Church, and was instrumental in making their scouting program a success. He was active in community projects and church commitees in Fairview. One of his lasting legacies was his love for the outdoors, a love which he deeply instilled in all his children.

Notes:

Lena Frances Moody DeLoach was born on August 13th, 1920 in Pulaski County, Kentucky, the daughter of the late Robert Lafette Moody and his wife Aleatha E. Tolley. Her mother died when she was 8 years old, so she helped raise her younger brother and sister.

She grew up during the Great Depression, and her family moved several times between Kentucky and Tennessee seeking employment. Her family moved to Canton, Ohio, in 1924, and to Waynesburg, Kentucky, in 1925. In 1929, they moved back to Canton, and in 1931, to Johnson City, Tennessee.
In 1938, she met and married Javan Astor "Mike" DeLoach in Johnson City, Tennessee. Over the next 25 years, they had five children: Michael in 1938, Craig in 1940, Eric in 1947, Joseph in 1960 and Jane in 1963. She liked to tell people that she had children in school for forty years, Michael starting school in 1943 and Jane getting her masters degree in 1987.

Lena and her husband loved the outdoors, taking frequent hikes in the mountains with the children. She also enjoyed Sunday car rides and picnics, and she dearly loved her farm.

Lena was a traditional stay at home mother for most of her life. She was a Den Mother for Pack 38, sponsored by the Calvary Presbyterian Church. In 1959, they bought a farm in the Fairview community of Washington County, Tennessee. There, the family became members of the Fairview United Methodist Church.

After her youngest children were in elementary school, Lena got a job in the
cafeteria at Jonesborough Middle School. During that time, she went to night school and got her high school GED diploma. After getting her diploma, she worked in the math learning lab at Jonesborough Middle School. Her husband Mike DeLoach predeceased her in 1996. Left to grieve her passing are her five children: Michael and his wife Dorothy, Craig, Eric and his wife Judy, Joe, Jane Morison and her husband Whit; nine grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, May 7th from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Dillow-Taylor Funeral home in Jonesborough. Graveside services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, May 8th at Fairview Cemetery.

Notes:

Married:
Ollie Whiteaker & Earl Ellis, accompanied by Irene Ellis (sister of Earl) and Zack Johnston (later married to Irene) first went to Abingdon, VA to get married. Ollie was only 20 years old and Earl thought that since her father was the deputy sheriff of Washington County they would be able to be married there. They were told she was underage. They then went to Bristol, TN where they were married in a Presbyterian Church. When Ollie was asked her age, Earl said 21 before she was able to respond.
