Photograph of Jesse C. Wine, his daughter, Mary Sue, and his wife, Naomi (Zirkle) Wine. Jesse Wine was born in Forestville, son of the late Jacob David Wine and Kitty Sipe (Huffman) Wine. He worked for the army during World War II at Fort Belvoir as manager of the tailor shop and dry cleaners. He entered the insurance business in 1945 and worked in Alexandria, Winchester, Mount Jackson, and Woodstock, where he retired in 1975 from Interstate Life and Accident Insurance Co. after 30 years of service. In September 1943, while he was still at Ft. Belvoir, he married Naomi Zirkle, daughter of Joseph H. Zirkle and Mary (Hupp) Zirkle of New Market. They had a daughter, Mary Sue (Wine) France. The couple enjoyed 72 years together before Mr. Wine's death in 2016. Both lived to be 100 years old. He was a member of the Woodstock United Methodist Church where he was a treasurer for 15 years. For 70 years he was member of a Masonic Lodge including Mount Jackson Masonic Lodge No. 103, Shenandoah Royal Arch Chapter #17 Edinburg, Alexandria Scottish Rite 32°, Acca Temple Shrine in Richmond, Blue Ridge Shrine Club, and the Shenandoah Valley Scottish Rite Club. In 1966, Jesse Wine became a charter member of the Woodstock Rescue Squad, where he drove an ambulance for 10 years and served as treasurer for 16 years. He had a vineyard and was a professional grape pruner going to as many as 60 places per year from Harrisonburg to Winchester. He was also a cane maker and since 1932 has handcrafted more than 1500 Dogwood canes, which he has shared with his many friends and handicapped persons. His wife, Naomi, was also active in the community. She loved people and enjoyed hosting them in her home. Strangers at church became life long friends after being invited to dinner numerous times. She was the supreme homemaker and worked long hours tending to her garden and preserving the food from it. Her talent in baking led to a career as a professional cake maker for over a decade. Even at the age of 98 she was baking bread to give to her neighbors.
Mr. Wine was identified in 2002 by James Morrison, Sr., who recognized him.

Neeb, Mary Emma "Mollie" Wisman (1857-1936)
Portrait photograph of Mary Emma (Wisman) Neeb with her hair pulled up and wearing a brooch at the neck of her blouse. Mollie (Wisman) Neeb was from the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County, one of many children born to William Franklin (1824-1889) and Sarah Frances (Orwick) (1827-1915) Wisman, a farming couple. In 1882, she married Luther Neeb (1855-1906), the son of Valentine (1822-1875) and Regina (Coverstone) (1832-1869) Neeb. Luther was a farmer and also worked in the fertilizer business. The couple had no children and lived on a farm just outside the Woodstock town limits, on Fairview Road. Luther died unexpectedly, and the 1910 census found widowed Mary E. Neeb living by herself. In the 1920 census, a 28-year old nephew, Curtis S. Golliday, lived with her, and farmed her land. Mollie stayed on her 60-acre farm, close to Woodstock, for the rest of her life. After she died, the farm was sold at auction.
