Description
Portrait of Stanley Lockwood Sine as a young Corporal wearing his U.S. Army uniform.
Stanley was born in Woodstock, the son of Mathew Stanley Quay (1894-1974) and Mary Rebecca (Burnshire) (1893-1990) Sine. His father was a truck driver.
Stanley graduated from Woodstock High School. When he registered for the WWII draft, Stanley worked at Southern Dairies in Woodstock. He was described as being 6’2” tall and 175 pounds. Shortly after, in 1941, he enlisted as a Private in the Army. He was promoted to captain and served in the 29th Infantry Division of the Virginia National Guard. He spent 15 months in the European theatre of war before he was discharged in 1946.
After the war, in February 1946, he married Marjorie Kathleen Stultz (1924-2019). She was born in Shenandoah County but her mother had died when she was very young. She was raised by an aunt and uncle, Earl and Ethel Hoover, in New Freedom, York, Pennsylvania.
By 1950, the couple lived on West Spring Street in Woodstock and had a one-year old son, Stephen A. Sine. Stanley worked for the town’s maintenance Department as the Assistant Foreman. That same year, he re-enlisted in the U.S. Army for another stint of military service (1950-1951) during the Korean War.
At some point, Stanley was hired to teach at Massanutten Military Academy (MMA). He was an ROTC instructor during the period when the Army consistently named MMA’s cadet corps one of the best trained and disciplined units of the 40-plus schools evaluated and even awarded the school honor status, a prestigious title. Stanley appears in both the 1963 and 1966 yearbooks for MMA in his uniform. His wife also worked there for ten years as the manager of the canteen.
It is unclear when Stanley left MMA, but when he died, his occupation was listed as a retired wholesale clerk.
