After his father's death when O'Ferrall was fifteen, he took over his father's position as clerk pro tempore of the circuit court in Morgan County. Two years later he was elected clerk of the county circuit court there, a position he held until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861. O'Ferrall joined the 12th Virginia Cavalry (CSA), Winchester in 1861 as a private. By 1865, he was an acting colonel managing forces in the Shenandoah Valley and saw action at Second Manassas (1862) and Upperville (1863). He sustained eight injuries over the course of service.

In 1868, O'Ferrall entered Washington College (now Washington and Lee) under Robert E. Lee and graduated with a law degree in August 1869. After moving to Harrisonburg, O'Ferrall was elected as a Democrat to the House of Delegates for two terms, 1871-1873. In 1874, he became judge of the Rockingham County Circuit Court, a position he held until 1880. In 1882, he won the Rockingham County Congressional election, and served five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1893, Democratic Congressman O'Ferrall was elected Governor. He ran on a bimetallic currency ticket, one which would later ruin his political career. His first two years in office were notable for his liberal stance against lynching and his favorable economic policies. O'Ferrall's downfall came, however, in 1896, when he refused to endorse the free silver platform of fellow Democrat William Jennings Bryan. O'Ferrall retired to Chesterfield County after two more years in office, where he wrote his book Forty Years of Active Service in 1904.

He then became a school teacher in Harrisonville, Missouri.  Among his pupils there was Cole Younger—future Confederate guerrilla and outlaw in the James-Younger Gang.  According to accounts provided by both men, Younger later rescued Elkins from execution by Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War.  More than 30 years later, Elkins was instrumental in securing parole for Younger, who received a life sentence when convicted of bank robbery.","After enlisting in the Union Army, Elkins served as a captain in the Kansas Militia until 1863.

Elkins partnered with Davis in developing natural resources industries in West Virginia, and in 1878, Elkins became a West Virginia citizen.  Around 1890, Elkins and his family moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.

He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, practiced law in the Territory of New Mexico in 1864, and was a member of the Territorial House of Representatives from 1864 to 1865.  From 1866 to 1870, Elkins was first the district attorney, then attorney general, and then U.S. district attorney for the Territory.  Around 1890, he moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.  President Benjamin Harrison appointed him Secretary of War from 1891 to 1893.  Elkins died in Washington, D.C., during his third term in the U.S. Senate.","Born in Perry County, Ohio, in 1841, Elkins attended public schools in Westport, Missouri, and graduated in 1860 from the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he studied law.  He then became a school teacher in Harrisonville, Missouri.  Among his pupils there was Cole Younger—future Confederate guerrilla and outlaw in the James-Younger Gang.  According to accounts provided by both men, Younger later rescued Elkins from execution by Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War.  More than 30 years later, Elkins was instrumental in securing parole for Younger, who received a life sentence when convicted of bank robbery.","After enlisting in the Union Army, Elkins served as a captain in the Kansas Militia until 1863.  In 1864, he began to practice law in Mesilla, New Mexico, after being admitted to the bar in the Territory of New Mexico.  He then served in the Territorial House of Representatives from 1864 to 1865.  Elkins also was the district attorney (1866–1867), attorney general (1867), and then U.S. district attorney (1867–1870) for the Territory.  In 1872, Elkins was elected to Congress as a Republican representative for the Territory of New Mexico, and served in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses (March 4, 1873–March 3, 1877); he was not a candidate for re-nomination in 1876.","In 1866, Elkins married Sarah Simms Jacobs.  She died prior to Elkins' election to Congress, and was survived by two daughters, Elizabeth and Sallie.  In 1875, Elkins married Hallie Davis, daughter of Senator Henry Gassaway Davis of West Virginia.  Elkins partnered with Davis in developing natural resources industries in West Virginia, and in 1878, Elkins became a West Virginia citizen.  Around 1890, Elkins and his family moved to the town that he founded, Elkins, WV.  Together with Davis, Elkins formed the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway, which had main lines emanating from Elkins, WV, and he was associated with the Davis Coal and Coke Company, one of the largest coal companies in existence.","After being elected executive chairman of the National Republican Committee in 1884, Elkins gave his first political speech in West Virginia on February 29, 1888, in Wheeling.  President Benjamin Harrison appointed Elkins Secretary of War, and he served from December 17, 1891 to March 5, 1893.  Elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate, Elkins served from March 4, 1895, until his death on January 4, 1911.  He was chairman of the Committee on the Geological Survey (Fifty-sixth and Fifty-ninth Congresses) and member of the Committee on Interstate Commerce (Fifty-seventh through Sixty-first Congresses).  Elkins was interred in Maplewood Cemetery, Elkins, WV.","Sources:","Clarke, Alan R. The West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway: a Western Maryland Predecessor.

Miscellaneous and Personal.","Marvin Kent Curtis was an American novelist, teacher, illustrator, composer, and yachtsman. He served in World War I as an aviator with the Royal Air Force, was shot down, reported dead, and held prisoner of war until the war's end. He was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1890 to Charles E. Curtis and Grace Emily Kent. He was named for his famous great-grandfather Marvin Kent, for whom Kent, Ohio was named. Also Kent State University was founded on land donated by William S. Kent, the brother of Curtis' grandfather.","Kent Curtis graduated in 1909 from Lake View High School (Chicago, Illinois), and completed his college preparatory work at Tome School for Boys in Port Deposit, Maryland. He entered Amherst College in 1910 as a member of the Class of 1914. There he contributed to the Amherst Olio and served as Editor-in-Chief of the Amherst Four Leaf Clover. He left the college without graduating. Kent enlisted as a private in the Aviation Section, Enlisted Reserve Corps of the Army at Fort Omaha, Nebraska, on June 7, 1917. After graduation from the School of Military Aeronautics at the University of Illinois on August 25, 1917, he was ordered to Oxford, England, where he completed flight training with the British Royal Flying Corps. Curtis' unusual behavior in machine gun class was described in \"War Birds: Diary of an Unknown Aviator\". Commissioned 1st Lieutenant on May 30, 1918, he was assigned to the American 148th Aero Squadron and reported for duty on the British front in France July 4, 1918. Curtis' first attack on enemy targets was a bombing that took place over Croisilles, France, on August 22, 1918. From his open cockpit biplane, he dropped 4 bombs and fired 200 rounds at enemy targets. During the Second Battle of Bapaume, he undertook a similar mission over Bapaume, France, dropping 4 bombs and returning safely to base on August 23. On Saturday, August 24, 1918, Curtis piloted his Sopwith Camel #B7869 on his third mission in three days, for another bombing over Bapaume. He would not return. The Adjutant General, War Department, wired the family that Curtis had been killed in action. Cleveland newspapers carried reports of his death. In fact Curtis' plane was shot down behind enemy lines but he survived the crash and was taken prisoner by the Germans. He remained in German prison camps until December 1, 1918, nearly a month after the November 11 Armistice ending the war.","Curtis was part of the \"Lost Generation,\" of Americans who were born in the 1890s and came of age during World War I. He lived intermittently in Paris during the 1920s. Curtis published primarily boys' adventure stories set in the places where he lived: the North Woods of Minnesota and the islands off the Florida coast.","It was while teaching at the Snyder Outdoor School for Boys in 1922, Curtis won second place and $1,000 in a national writing competition for his scenario \"The Quinn Millions for Millions of Quinns.\" Curtis went on to publish boys' adventure stories, including \"The Blushing Camel\", \"Drumbeaters Island\", and \"The Cameleers\". These three stories were later published together as \"Cruises in the Sun\". He also wrote one historical novel, \"The Tired Captains\" based on pilots in World War I.","Curtis was an avid sailor. He introduced sailing to Mishawaka Camp and led Canadian canoe trips through the Minnesota boundary waters. He often wintered on Captiva Island, Florida, the subject of his boys' adventure stories.

Davis (1874-1960) was born to John Conrad Davis and Mahulda Simmons Davis of Lewis County, West Virginia. Davis moved to Broadway, Virginia in 1892 and to Singers Glen, Virginia in 1896 where he lived the remainder of his life. While in West Virginia, Davis was a school teacher. He pursued the carpentry trade after moving to Virginia. Additionally, Davis served his community as a clerk, judge, and county committeeman for Singers Glen. He was a member of the Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) Church in Singers Glen. Davis married Edith Belle Long (1876-1965) of Singers Glen and together they had three children – Letha (1899-1986), Charles Russell (1906-1976), and Price Albert (1907-1979). Edith was born to Conrad Long and Phoebe Catherine Burgendine Long. Like her husband, Edith was a member of the local EUB congregation.","Their daughter Letha, a lifelong member of the Singers Glen EUB church and a member of the Disabled American Veterans auxiliary, went on to marry Earl Alpheus Kline (1896-1967). Kline was born to Benjamin B. Kline and Ella Mae Wilkins Kline. He was employed as one of the first electrical contractors in Rockingham County and later worked at REA and Madison College. The Klines had three children – Earl Jr., Eleanor Aletha (1922-2016), and Mary Davis (1934-2017).","On June 22, 1957, Mary Davis Kline married Ralph Bartlett \"Penny\" Hutton (1923-1993). The couple had one child, born Ralph Bartlett Hutton II (November 12, 1958-November 13, 1958), who died in infancy. Mary graduated from Broadway High School and from Madison College in 1955 with a Bachelor of Science degree in home economics education. She taught at Elkton High School for 10 years before working as a home economist for VEPCO (now Virginia Power) and went on to serve as the first school food service supervisor for Harrisonburg City Schools. She retired in 1991 after 17 years with the Virginia Department of Education. She was a member of the American Home Economics Association and the American School Food Service Association. Mary was a prolific scrapbooker and chronicled much of her adult life in this way.","This collection was originally housed in a photo album with most documents placed in Mylar sleeves. The materials were without a clear arrangement scheme. The archivist removed the documents from the album and imposed an artificial arrangement based on person or group of persons. However, it is unclear how some of the family names represented in this collection relate to the Davises, Klines, or Huttons. Box 3 which contains seven ledgers and notebooks is inaccessible due to ongoing preservation treatment. The ledgers within exhibit evidence of mold and are being treated accordingly.","The Davis, Kline, and Hutton Family Papers, 1816-1977, are comprised of correspondence, scrapbooks, photographs, legal documents, and miscellaneous papers relating to Charles L. Davis of Singers Glen, Virginia and his descendants. Some documents are seemingly unrelated to the aforementioned families, but concern other local persons.
