Box 523 Americus, GA 31709 or to the Beallsville United Methodist Church, PO Box 61, Beallsville, Ohio 43716.

Bard, Margaret Lucille Bard, nee Mercer

Source:  Myers Funeral Home, Sistersville, West Virginia

        Margaret L. Bard passed away April 18, 2011 in Methodist hospital in Houston Texas at eight fifty AM. She had moved to Houston about 5 years ago to live close to her daughter, Margaret A. Bard Johnson, because her health had deteriorated beyond her ability to care for herself.

        Margaret was superseded in death by her husband, Harry E. Bard, in June of 1976,* and her two brothers - Carl Mercer, who passed away in April 1994 and Paul Mercer, who passed away in 1996.**

        Margaret is survived by her oldest child, Robert D. Bard, OD, an optometric physician in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex area of Texas, and her daughter, Margaret A. Johnson of Houston, Texas.

        She had six grandchildren - Robert Michael Bard, Kevin Scott Bard, Graham David Johnson, Derrick Kurt Johnson, Hannah Lucille Johnson, Zoe Michal Johnson, and four great grandchildren - Logan Scott Bard, MacKenzie Elana Bard, Blake Taylor Perez, and Jonathan James Meza.

        Margaret was born and raised in Sistersville, WV, Tyler County on November 26, 1920, the daughter of Anna and Vernon Mercer.

        During World War II, Margaret worked in Akron, Ohio assembling B-29 airplanes for the war effort. She was one of the original “Rosie the Riveters” - the ladies who changed the way women worked and raised families in the USA.

        In 1954, Margaret opened her own beauty shop in her house at 117 Urban Street, Sistersville, WV. She worked there until 1997 when she retired. Other than a few short times of renting in other locations, the house on Urban Street was the only home in which she resided.

        Margaret had many loyal customers in her beauty shop because of her caring that they looked their best and she cared for these women as friends. Many of her customers were older than she and they passed away while she was working. Margaret went to the funeral home to do their hair one last time before they were buried.

        Margaret - mother, grandmother and great-grandmother - will be sorely missed by all who loved her, but she is finally free of the excruciating pain of osteoporosis.

        There will be a memorial service for Margaret on June 25, 2011 at 1:00 PM at Myers Funeral Home. Family will receive friends starting at noon.

Submitter's Notes: 

        * The photo of his tombstone pictured on findagrave.com shows his death date as June 10, 1977.

She spent her early childhood at Kirk and Joes, where her father owned the general merchandise stores and she spent her time whistling for customers. Her father nicknamed her "Bill." Later the "ie" was added to the name and has stayed to this day. She often said Maurine was her formal name.

        Billie learned to shoot the basketball with the famous Joes Boys basketball team, who in 1929 won the national championship finals in Chicago.

        In 1925, the family moved to Limon where her father owned a grocery and fabric store. Billie was the star forward of the girls' basketball team, going to state tournament twice.

        In 1934, she and her mother moved to Greeley where Billie attended the then Colorado State Teachers College, graduating in 1936 with a major in elementary education. It was after graduation that a mutual friend introduced Billie to her future husband, J. Lee Barnett.

        Lee Maurine Williams and Jacob Lee Barnett were married Nov. 20, 1940, in Colorado Springs and set up housekeeping in Alma. Lee was a high school teacher and basketball coach in Alma. In May 1942, they moved to Sterling and shared 64 years of marriage together before Lee passed away in January 2005.

        Billie taught kindergarten at Sexson School for 16 years and retired in 1977. She loved the children and whistled around the school Christmas tree and shot baskets in the gym. Her memories of the years at Sexson were very precious.

        Billie received trophies for her whistling at talent shows at the University of Colorado, and whistled for summer concerts in the gazebo on the courthouse square in Sterling.

        Billie was a very active member in the Sterling First Baptist Church. She belonged to Delta Kappa Gamma International Society, Daughters of the American Revolution and Humanities Club.

        When she wasn't tending to her children and house hold chores, she enjoyed quilting. She was a very talented seamstress and never made two quilts alike. She wanted each one to be unique. However, her most treasured moments were those spent with her loving family.

Dornbusch, Paul Edgar Dornbusch

Source: Bauer-Turner Funeral Home, Woodsfield, Ohio, January 23, 2011

Paul Edgar Dornbusch, 85, died peacefully on January 22, 2011, surrounded by his wife and children. He died at St. Francis Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia after a heart attack brought on by respiratory failure. Born in the family farmhouse outside Antioch, Ohio on July 25, 1925 to Wesley and Irma (Wohnhas) Dornbusch, he was the great-grandson of John Jacob Dornbusch who emigrated from Germany in 1834 and settled a few years later in Benton Township.

Paul attended grade school in Antioch and completed one year at Ohio University before joining the US Navy. He served his country during World War II as a radar technician on the USS Pensacola, a heavy cruiser, seeing action in the Pacific theater. After the war, he served on a repair ship, the USS Xanthus, for the remainder of his tour of duty. He returned to Ohio University and earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. While at college, Paul met his wife, Margaret Helen Tober of Cleveland, Ohio, who he always called Toby. Married in 1950, Paul and Toby celebrated 60 years of marriage with their gathered family this past summer.

Paul spent his entire professional life of 42 years with the General Electric Company; the last 36 years were in Roanoke, Virginia, where he and Toby raised their family. Paul excelled in designing and tuning industrial controls, particularly for aluminum and steel rolling mills. His career took him all over North America and around the world to mills in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. He became an acknowledged expert in material transport systems and was recognized for his work by Jack Welch, GE’s Chairman and CEO.

Paul was rooted in his faith. He was an active member of Westhampton Christian Church-Disciples of Christ in Roanoke. The faith community of Westhampton helped and sustained Paul and Toby when their oldest daughter Kathy died of cancer at the age of 7. More recently, Paul and Toby have worshipped at St. Paul’s Church–Trail Run, the church his great-grandfather John Jacob helped found.

True to his upbringing on the family farm, Paul was hard-working, modest and self-reliant. He had a deep appreciation for life and a wry sense of humor. Though very generous to others, he did not need much for himself.  He excelled at fixing things and could keep a lawn mower serviceable long after others would have replaced it. He was always happiest when he could be busy and useful… preferably outdoors. After he retired, Paul and Toby built a home on the family farm outside Antioch. His hands and back, gnarled from scoliosis, limited his progress, but he worked with patience and perseverance to tame the wild roses and brambles and reclaim the land.

Paul will be deeply missed by his loving family. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Margaret (Toby) Dornbusch, his children and their spouses: Susan and Ralph Snell; Jim Dornbusch and Susanne Streubing; Jane and John Davis; Dana Dornbusch and Walter Piescik; and Andrew and Susan Dornbusch and his grandchildren Katy, Anna and Emily Snell; Tyler, Tina and Tristan Dornbusch; Jonathan Davis; and Manna and Jordan Wilcox. He is also survived by his brother Willard Dornbusch, Willard’s wife Pam, his sister Doris Starr, and a large, extended family.

Friends will be received from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, January 28, 2011 at the Bauer-Turner Funeral Home, 100 S. Paul Street, Woodsfield, Ohio. Funeral services will be at 11 am on Saturday, January 29, 2011 at St. Paul’s Church -Trail Run, 43936 Joe Frobish Road, Sardis, Ohio, with the Rev. Alfred Bingenheimer officiating.

Interment will be at the Antioch Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Midway Community Center.

Doyle, Virgil Lee "Terry" Doyle

Source:  The Bakersfield Californian - October 23, 2011

        Virgil Lee ("Terry") Doyle, recently of Bakersfield CA passed away peacefully at his home with his wife by his side on Saturday October 8th, 2011. A resident of Nevada most of his life, both in Reno and Pahrump, he was born April 11th, 1927, in Collinsville Illinois, was raised in the Chicago area, and was the son of the late Odis and Irene Shannon Doyle.   As a teenager, 15, he enlisted in the Navy during World War II. He served proudly on the USS Ocelot, USS Randolph, USS Nashville and was a member of ARGUS Unit #9. This ARGUS unit entered Japan just after the atomic bombs were dropped. He completed WWII in the Navy, then re-enlisted in the Army. In 1948, while travelling from Camp Lee, VA to Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Aurora, Colorado by train, he met his future wife Lela Virginia Mercer. Virginia gave him her picture and address. They were married in February of 1949. The picture and address she gave him would remain in his wallet for the next 62 years. After a short time at Fort Ord and the Presidio at San Francisco, he retired from service in 1952. He then enrolled at Cal Poly San Louis Obispo working on a mechanical engineering degree. In 1955, Virginia was pregnant with the first of their three children, prompting him to leave Cal Poly and taking a job with Southern California Edison Company in Visalia, CA. Later, transferred to Lancaster, he settled his family in Leona Valley where the family operated a commercial chicken operation. It was at this farm that the family really learned to work together, bonding in a way that would last all their lives. In 1973, after retiring from Edison as a service planner, the family moved to Reno Nevada where he went into business, opening a tire and alignment shop and later adding U-Haul Rentals. In 1980, during the gas crisis, he made the cover of Newsweek Magazine as the subject of an article by Leon Mandel about the difficulties small businesses were having. After selling his business in 1982 he moved to Pahrump as a consultant for the Valley Electric Association. He built a home in Pahrump. From 2002 till present, he split his time between Nevada and California to be closer to family and medical treatment. It was during this time that he began having heart and kidney problems. He battled kidney failure which eventually required dialysis. During his life, his main focus was his family. He absolutely adored his wife, and was very active in the lives of his children. He was always active in his community, whether helping neighbors, building a little league field, helping the school PTA or as a volunteer fireman. He loved to hike and the family spent many vacations hiking, camping and visiting numerous National and State Parks. He was very close to his children helping them with school projects and eventually with projects at their own homes. He loved to build and repair anything. He and his son started numerous businesses working side by side for over 45 years. He had a very complex mind and was always thinking about new inventions, which ranged from simple to complex methods for renewable power. He always had some idea or project he was working on. In later years he developed a passion for gardening and had an amazing back yard. He was the most wonderful, loving and caring husband and father. He always had the right advice. "Gramps" will be sorely missed both because we loved him so much and because he left numerous projects in various stages of completion.

        He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife of 62 years, Lela Virginia Mercer Doyle; their three children and spouses Michael and Veronika Doyle, Virginia Doyle Schaaf and Alan Schaaf, Judy Doyle Ryan and James Ryan Jr; 11 grandchildren, Kristina Doyle, Leland Doyle, Christina Warne and Michael Doyle, Jennifer, Kircie and Spencer Schaaf, Christopher Ryan and wife Jennifer, Shana Ryan Grove and husband Brian, Danielle Ryan Griffith-Jones and husband Jeff and Maria Ryan; four great grandchildren, Christopher, Payton, Samantha, Stuart and one soon to be born; three sisters and their family members and many, many dear friends.

        The family would like to thank Davis Rose Funeral Home and Bakersfield National Cemetery. A memorial will be held at Bakersfield National Cemetery, on October 28th, 2011 at 1:15p.m. followed by a reception. www.bakersfield.com/obits
