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. 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.

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. 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).

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."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Frank Gaylord, Sculptor, Papers, A\u0026amp;M 4501, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], Frank Gaylord, Sculptor, Papers, A\u0026M 4501, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePapers of Frank Gaylord (1925-2018).

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.

Born Creola Katherine Coleman to parents Joylette Roberta and Joshua McKinley Coleman, she was the youngest of four children. Excelling at mathematics from an early age, Katherine and her family moved to Institute, West Virginia in order for Katherine to attend high school on the campus of West Virginia State University (WVSU). Graduating from high school at the age of 14, Johnson immediately enrolled at WVSU to pursue higher education. At the age of 18 she graduated summa cum laude in 1937 with a double major in mathematics and French. Finding few opportunities for an African-American teenage mathematician she eventually took a job as a schoolteacher in Marion, Virginia.","After marrying her first husband, James Goble, in 1939 Katherine was selected by the president of WVSU to be one of three African Americans to integrate West Virginia University (WVU) following Governor Homer Holt's decision to desegregate public graduate schools in West Virginia. Becoming the first African-American woman to be accepted into WVU's graduate program, Johnson withdrew from classes after discovering she was pregnant, settling into motherhood and her career as a teacher over the next decade.","In 1952, after hearing from a relative about jobs working with the all-black West Area computing section at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) Langley laboratory under the instruction of fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan, Katherine and James moved to Newport News, Virginia and Johnson began working at Langley in the summer of 1953. First assigned to a project in the Maneuver Loads Branch of the Flight Research Division, her temporary position quickly turned permanent.","Johnson helped provide some of the math for the 1958 document Notes on Space Technology. As NACA transformed in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Johnson continued to provide groundbreaking work including trajectory analysis for the 1961 Freedom 7 mission with Alan Shepard, America's first human spaceflight. Her and engineer Ted Skopinski's Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division received credit as an author of a research report.","Over the course of her career with NASA Johnson assisted with a variety of pioneering space flight missions. She verified the flight plan of John Glenn prior to his historic orbit of the Earth in 1961, in 1969 she was part of the team that calculated where and when to launch the rocket for the Apollo 11 mission that sent the first humans to the Moon, as well as working on the space shuttle program, and authoring/coauthoring 26 research reports. Katherine Johnson retired from NASA in 1986 after 33 years at the Langley facility.","Over the years Johnson received numerous awards and recognitions for her contributions to space flight. In 2015, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2016, NASA named the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility after her. Also in 2016, Margot Lee Shetterly published Hidden Figures: The American Dream and The Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race, a book about the West Area computers, including Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. A film based on the book and having the same title was released that same year with the movie being nominated for Best Picture at the 89th Academy Awards.","Katherine Johnson passed away on February 24, 2020 at the age of 101 at a retirement home in Newport News, Virginia. She was preceded in death by her second husband Jim Johnson in 2019, whom she married in 1959 after the death of her first husband in 1956. A memoir, My Remarkable Journey, co-written by Johnson and her daughters, Joylette Hylick and Katherine Moore, was published posthumously in 2021.","Papers of Katherine G. Johnson.
