Gaylord went on to attend Washington Irving High School in Clarksburg, graduating in 1943 and subsequently being drafted by the United States Army a few weeks later. Serving with the 1st Battalion, 513th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 17th Airborne Divison in the Second World War, Gaylord received the Bronze Star for Valor for his actions and spent many months in a military hospital recovering from injuries he endured while serving.","Upon returning stateside, Frank Gaylord enrolled in the School of Art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the GI Bill. However, after two years of studying in Pittsburgh, Gaylord transferred to Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1950. Prior to graduating, Frank Gaylord married Mary Cornwell of Clarksburg, West Virginia, daughter of John and Mabel Cornwell.","In 1951, Frank and his wife Mary moved to Barre, Vermont where Frank became an apprentice stonecutter at the E.J. Bachlender Company honing his skills carving gravestones, markers, and other assigned projects. Gaylord eventually struck out on his own and in time made his mark in the field. Among the many commissions he recieved were monuments celebrating historical figures including Presidents Calvin Coolidge and John F. Kennedy, Boston Pops conducter Arthur Fiedler, state governors, and playwright William Shakespeare. Other notable works include many religious sculptures and sculptural tributes to the American pioneer family and Little League baseball.","Gaylord's most ambitious work, \"The Column,\" more collectively known as the Korean War Memorial is located near the Lincoln Memorial, on the west end of the National Mall. The memorial was many years in the making, with progress hampered by competing interests resulting in a final monument composed of disparate if not conflicting elements. Frank Gaylord's Column features nineteen soldiers representing an ethnic cross-section of America and all branches of the United States military. Cast in stainless steel and standing slightly over seven feet tall, the figures are on patrol, interspersed among juniper bushes and polished granite slabs representing the landscape and agrarian features of the Korean pennisula. Also featured at the memorial are: a 30 feet in diameter Pool of Remembrance; a United Nations Wall honoring the 22 countries that contributed to the war effort; and a Murla Wall, 164 feet in length and composed of more than 2,400 photographic images. Dedicated in 1995 by President Bill Clinton on the 42nd anniversary of the armistice that ended the Korean War, the memorial was the culmination of Frank Gaylord's career although it continued to trouble him in his later years.","A 2002 commemorative stamp issued by the United States Postal Service prompted Gaylord to sue the United States for copyright infringement in 2006. Over the course of the next eight years, Gaylord and the United States went back and forth in the court system before finally reaching a verdict in 2015 in favor of Frank Gaylord.","The Gaylord Family hails from Ardeley, Hertfordshire, England with Edward Gaylor leaving the European country sometime between the years of 1720 and 1750. A Revolutionary War soldier Edward was married to Barbara Nichols and together they had one son, John Gaylor, who was born in Virginia in 1772. The first generation of Gaylords had arrived on the North American continent, and six generations later spawned the sculptor Frank C. Gaylord. Other notable Gaylords includes James Irwin Gaylord, Civil War veteran and Richard C. Gaylord, World War I veteran.","Over the course of Frank and Mary Gaylord's marriage they had three children together. Their first, John Richard Gaylord, was born in 1954, but unfortunately died eight years later in 1962 of congential heart disease. Their second and third, Leanne and Victoria, joined the family shortly following the death of their brother. Leanne met and married John Triano, beginning a family of their own. John quickly became a part of Frank's studio and assisted with the financial and legal aspects of the business. Frank Gaylord passed away in March of 2018 at the age of 93. He was preceeded in death by his wife in 2005.","*adapted from West Virginia and Regional History Center Newsletter vol. 35, no.1-2, 2020 and Ancestry.com, accessed Feburary 09, 2021 02/09/2021.","Papers of Frank Gaylord (1925-2018).

Gaylord went on to attend Washington Irving High School in Clarksburg, graduating in 1943 and subsequently being drafted by the United States Army a few weeks later. Serving with the 1st Battalion, 513th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 17th Airborne Divison in the Second World War, Gaylord received the Bronze Star for Valor for his actions and spent many months in a military hospital recovering from injuries he endured while serving.","Upon returning stateside, Frank Gaylord enrolled in the School of Art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the GI Bill. However, after two years of studying in Pittsburgh, Gaylord transferred to Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1950. Prior to graduating, Frank Gaylord married Mary Cornwell of Clarksburg, West Virginia, daughter of John and Mabel Cornwell.","In 1951, Frank and his wife Mary moved to Barre, Vermont where Frank became an apprentice stonecutter at the E.J. Bachlender Company honing his skills carving gravestones, markers, and other assigned projects. Gaylord eventually struck out on his own and in time made his mark in the field. Among the many commissions he recieved were monuments celebrating historical figures including Presidents Calvin Coolidge and John F. Kennedy, Boston Pops conducter Arthur Fiedler, state governors, and playwright William Shakespeare. Other notable works include many religious sculptures and sculptural tributes to the American pioneer family and Little League baseball.","Gaylord's most ambitious work, \"The Column,\" more collectively known as the Korean War Memorial is located near the Lincoln Memorial, on the west end of the National Mall. The memorial was many years in the making, with progress hampered by competing interests resulting in a final monument composed of disparate if not conflicting elements. Frank Gaylord's Column features nineteen soldiers representing an ethnic cross-section of America and all branches of the United States military. Cast in stainless steel and standing slightly over seven feet tall, the figures are on patrol, interspersed among juniper bushes and polished granite slabs representing the landscape and agrarian features of the Korean pennisula. Also featured at the memorial are: a 30 feet in diameter Pool of Remembrance; a United Nations Wall honoring the 22 countries that contributed to the war effort; and a Murla Wall, 164 feet in length and composed of more than 2,400 photographic images.

Fitzgerald (Fitz, Jack) was a U.S. military pilot, flying for the United States Army Air Corps during World War II (with the 39th Bombardment Squadron, 520th Bomb Sqadron, and later the 479th Anti-Submarine Group) and for the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War.

In 1950, Fitzgerald left a position at Dayton (described as an unhappy job for him) and took a position flying transport for the U.S. Air Force in Japan.

Fitzgerald describes the September 1950 landing at Ichon by UN and South Korean troops. In October 1950, Fitzgerald first flies over the Korean peninsula in a sightseeing mission. Also in late October, he shares General Douglas MacArthur's decision to halt travel to the United States.

The activities of Anna DeGant Mathers, wife of Max Mathers, and Margaret Mathers Barrick, his daughter, as well as of Margaret's two sons, William Mathers Barrick and George Milton Barrick, Jr. are well represented in the family papers. Max Mather's own papers document his personal life, Republican party activities, genealogical and local history interests, and his participation in civil defense planning for Morgantown, as well as his service on the local selective service board. There are letters and financial records of earlier members of the Morgan family, mostly of the Civil War period and later, but including two early 19th century account books and some early letters. Some of the names of Morgan ancestors are Elijah Morgan, Elizabeth Morgan, H.M. Morgan, H.D. McGeorge, N.H. McGeorge, and John R. Morgan. Photographs are largely of the Mathers family, but there are a few of the 175th anniversary of Monongalia County, and the dedication of a monument to Col. Zackquill Morgan, ancestor of Mathers and founder of Morgantown. The newspaper clippings cover personal mentions of Max Mathers and his family as well as local history articles, local events, and the family's involvement in the search for missing soldiers after the Korean conflict. The scrapbook was put together by Eugene L. Mathers, Max Mathers' father, and documents Monongalia County events, 1838-1951. In addition, there is a collection of greeting cards covering the first half of the 20th century and a collection of broadsides going back to the 1850s.","West Virginia and Regional History Center / West Virginia University / 1549 University Avenue / P.O.
