Biographical Text
Ruth Finks was born February 29, 1896 on her family farm near Maurertown Virginia. The mother of seven children, she did her share of hard work on their family farm observing in one interview “I have done everything but plow the land… I have helped to gather the corn, shucked it, ran the disc, harrowed the land, took care of the sheep, hogs, cattle, and the work horses.”
After the death of her husband in 1944, Ruth managed the farm by herself for three years before going to work as a housekeeper for a Woodstock family. Over the next thirty years she also worked various other odd jobs as a baby sitter while living on Spring Street in Woodstock Virginia. Outside of work she was active in the Maurertown Brethren Church, teaching Sunday School and leading their missionary society.

Birthplace
Alabama
Occupation
Treasurer, Little North Farm Contract Beef Inc. (1974)
Biographical Text
Shelley Rucker moved to Shenandoah County in 1974 with her husband Guy to establish the Little North Farm Contract Beef Inc. This company provided individuals the opportunity to purchase beef steers, graze them on the Little North Farm near Conicville, and then have them slaughtered and processed. This custom beef feeding plan was very popular with residents of the Washington DC area interested in sourcing their beef directly from the farm instead of buying it in a supermarket.
Born in Alabama, Shelley spent much of her early life in the Philippines and other Far East countries while her father worked with the Lykes Steamship Company. She graduated from Jacksonville Teacher’s College in Jacksonville Alabama. After living in Wilmington NC and northern Virginia, she moved to Shenandoah County with her family to pursue their business dream for which Shelley served as treasurer.
Outside of work, Shelley had three children Lynn, Brenda, and Cassandra. She was an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and founding regent of Shenandoah County’s Narrow Passage Chapter, NSDAR.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Description
An account of the resource
The name, “Preston Grandel” is written on the glass plate of this image of a young woman and her child.
Upon further research, we have identified this woman as Mary Lee Harler, the first wife of Preston Newman Grandel (1921-1984). The couple married in Winchester, in January 1946, not long after Preston’s discharge from the Army.
She was born in Mountain Falls, Frederick County, Virginia, to James H. and Odie B. (Hulver) Harler. Preston and Mary lived in Stephens City, married in Winchester, and lived in the Opequon District of the County during the years they were together.
The child is one of four they had together. It is likely this was their second child, Marian Preston Grandel, born in April 1948, but we cannot be sure.
Preston and Mary divorced in the early 1970’s and both remarried soon after.

Description
An account of the resource
Photograph of James Eldred Swartz with his wife, Virginia Ruth (Hornsby) and his young daughter, Ida Sue.
J. Eldred Swartz was the son of Charles Franklin and Ida Belle (Coffman) Swartz from the southern end of Shenandoah County. He graduated from William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia.
He is most remembered for his years as a teacher and principal for the Shenandoah County Public Schools, mostly in Mt. Jackson.
His wife was Virginia Ruth (Hornsby) Swartz, the daughter of LeRoy Alphonse (1869-1946) and Sudie (Shields) (1881-1948) Hornsby, from Hornsbyville, York County, Virginia. Like her husband, she graduated from William and Mary College.
When they married in November 1940, J. Eldred was the Principal of Triplett Agricultural High School in Mt. Jackson and Ruth was an instructor at Lane High School in Charlottesville. Before that, she had been a member of the faculty for several years at Poquoson High School near Newport News, Virginia.
When J. Eldred Swartz registered for the WWII draft in 1942, his telephone number was “18” on the Mt. Jackson exchange.
Their daughter, Ida Sue Swartz, was born in Newport News. She grew up to be a teacher in Mt. Jackson and married Warren Eugene Zirkle in February 1968 in Williamsburg. He was the son of William Monroe and Fern Frances (Golladay) Zirkle.
At the time of their marriage, he worked as a staff assistant for the telephone company. Sue and Warren Zirkle spent over four decades together until they divorced in 2011.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

The topic of the resource
Herbaugh, Sadie Belle Baker Copp (1909-1986)
Description
An account of the resource
Portrait of Sadie Herbaugh wearing pearls and glasses.
Sadie Belle was the daughter of Cora Alice (Wine) Baker. Her stepfather was Charles Baker, however, the name of her biological father is unknown. Some records list Sadie’s maiden name as “Wine” while others use “Baker”.
Sadie’s first husband was Harry Philip Copp (1902-1934), a farmer. Sadie and Harry married in 1923 and had four children together: Catherine, Helen, Isabelle, and Polly. They lived in Shenandoah County’s Stonewall District near Woodstock. Harry died in 1934.
In 1938 Sadie married Mark Herbaugh (1914-1954), a truck driver. He died in 1954.
The 1940 census found the two of them living together in the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County, without children. All four of Sadie's daughters, teenaged by then, were living with other families that year and appear as “foster” children or “lodgers”.
Sadie lived most of her life in and around the town of Woodstock. She worked as a cook for the school system and later for Shenandoah County Memorial Hospital where she retired from as a dietician. Outside of work and her family she volunteered with the Woodstock Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary, cooking for many of the organization’s fundraising dinners.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.
