I am here with Mr. Teddy Delawder, and we are in Mt. Jackson Virginia, correct? Teddy Delawder: Correct. AW: Well thank you so much for being here. My name is Alex Whitehurst, the interviewer, and I really appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your life experiences, your story, and learn something about Bird Haven, because that’s why we’re here. So I guess my first question, to start off, would be: are you from this area? TD: Yes. AW: And you have lived here your whole life? TD: Except for the time I was in the service, and then I lived in Arizona for a couple years, and then I lived in Roanoke for about fifteen years, and then I moved back up here. AW: So your childhood was here? TD: Oh, yeah. AW: And what was that like? TD: Not very eventful (laughs). When I was a boy growing up, there wasn’t anything around here like it is today. On the weekends, for fun, we’d just, couple of us boys would just…today they call it hiking. We just called it running away from home. We used to walk up to the top of the mountain. We used to go down to the old dodge place, and that was the place where Bird Haven stored toys that weren’t sold. Basically, the toys that I remember were boats, great big boxes of boats, and we used to get those boats now and then and take them down to the creek and float them down the creek down towards Stony Creek. I don’t know, maybe they’re down in the Chesapeake Bay now, I don’t know (laughs). AW: So these were miniature boats? TD: Yes, very, they were small. I don’t know, maybe, less than a foot long, thereabouts. And they had two different styles. One was like a barge, like it was just a square across the front, square across the back, and just straight on the side. Then it had a palette-house right on the deck of the boat. And they had, as I remember, dowels at each corner. And then they had another one that was shaped more like a boat, a ship, where it was pointed in the front, the bow, and then tapered back, and it had a palette-house, and I can’t remember if it had a chimney stack on it or not, but there were two different styles. I always like the ship-looking one better than the barge. They both floated well (laughs). The dodge barn is no longer there. It was tore down years ago. But when were kids, it was almost tore down then. It was dilapidated. But that was, on the weekends that’s what we did a lot. We just, we’d walk. Just visit different things around, you know, a couple of us boys. No girls involved. There wasn’t a girl within two miles of me growing up that wasn’t my cousin, so no girls (laughs). AW: And your grandfather was the one who worked at Bird Haven, is that correct? �TD: No, I don’t know how many of my relatives may have worked there. I know that my granddad had some pieces of furniture that were made at Bird Haven, but I don’t know exactly how he got it. I know one of his daughters did work at Bird Haven, my aunt. My aunt that worked at Bird Haven worked in the department where they varnished stuff, and she was pregnant when she worked there. She had a daughter that was born with birth defects. And that daughter is still alive, although she was never a total person. Even as a young girl, she didn’t have any mentality. She’s still alive, but now she’s, and she never spoke, she made sounds and all. But she’s totally blind, I believe, and she’s been in a nursing facility in Charlottesville for a good long time, and she’s probably a couple years younger than I am, and I’m seventy-three, so she’s probably close to seventy or so now. But they think that maybe the work she did caused the birth defects. No proof. My dad, well back to my granddad, when my granddad, they had a sale, personal property, and granddad had a set of dishes from Shenandoah Community Workers, which is what Bird Haven was called. It was like an eight or twelve place setting of china and all kinds things to go along with that. Tea cups and saucers, and the auctioneer was going to sell it as one bulk piece, and so many people wanted to have a piece of that history, cause that’s the only set that I ever saw. We talked him into selling it a piece at a time. It bought a little bit more money than it would have it would’ve been bought… AW: I would imagine. TD: And I know…to show you how silly some people can be, I’ve got a couple of cracked tea cups and cracked saucers, but I got them. There were some, I don’t know what they would call them, but they were things that you put jam in, with a little spoon. They weren’t very big, something like that, perhaps, and I think we got two or three of those that came in a set of them. But we have those that we bought at that sale. And he had some other things, and then my wife, she goes on the internet all the time, and anytime she finds something for sale from Bird Haven she’ll bid on it. As a matter of fact, one of you guys interviewed with some people in Ortney, and her mom worked at Bird Haven when she was, I don’t know if she was even alive then, but her mom worked there, and she made puzzles. Bird Haven made wooden jigsaw puzzles back in those days. My wife had a jigsaw puzzle from Bird Haven that she had bought someplace online. And then we have some bowls and things like that we’ve gotten off the internet. Whenever we go out and see a sale, any place that they have things like that, if it’s reasonable, we’ll get it. They didn’t just make toys, although it was called the Toy Factory. It had Bird Haven, Shenandoah Community Workers, Toy Factory. They made different things. I remember they had birds, like cardinals and robins that were just on a stick that you stuck in the ground in your yard. And I remember, as a boy, you’d see those around different people’s homes and stuff. As a matter of fact, I think we have one or two of those, too, that we got someplace. My granddad had a fold-up table, and it was kind of dilapidated when we got it, but it was a memory of my granddad in Bird Haven. We have that. I don’t remember what year Bird Haven closed down from making anything, but the last things I know that they did manufacture was bowls, salad bowls. They had different size bowls, and then they had individual salad bowls, and then bigger ones, and wooden spoons. One of the guys that worked there worked in the department, I say department, it was a small, standalone, cinderblock building where they had two lathes in there, and he and another fellow would make those bowls. I remember, as a kid, going in there and watching them on the lathe. It was fascinating to watch how artistic they could be with a lathe and all and turned out the bowls. The other thing that Bird Haven did when I was a boy was, there was no place around here where you could go and have lumber planed. A lot of the old buildings and all around here you would see, the lumber in �them would be rough lumber. It wasn’t planed or anything, it was rough from the sawmill. And if you wanted it planed off, you had to go someplace to get it done. I know that Bird Haven used to do that, to some extent, for people. I don’t know how much they were willing to do at one time or how large of pieces you could do or anything, but I know…I was about twelve or thirteen, and my dad was building a house, and I remember that we got some lumber planed, then, for the house that we built. I say “we” because I dug a lot of the footers for it. That was one of the other things they would do, you know, just for the community. There was a post office there at Bird Haven. As a matter of fact, I meant to look on by birth certificate, I think my birth certificate says I was born in Bird Haven. AW: Really? TD: Because that was the post office. And I can remember the mail carrier had a van, well it wasn’t called a van then…whatever they were called back then, multiple-passenger vehicle, and that’s what he used to go to town and get the mail and bring it back. Mr. Will was his name. He used to go down there to Bird Haven, to the post office. I don’t know when they actually closed the post office, at Bird Haven and then finally moved it to Basye, but that’s the address of it now. AW: You talked a lot about how the people around here are interested in collecting the things from Bird Haven, buying them online and at these estate sales and things. Do you know why there’s so much interest in them? TD: It’s local. It’s local stuff, and I guess back, during the war, that time period, that was one of the places that stayed in business. I hear a lot of people talking about the female of the family working there, so, you know, like my aunt did, and I know some other people, their mothers worked there. It’s just, it’s local, and of interest to people. At least, I think that’s why. My wife is too young for her to remember Bird Haven, but she’s still interested in the Bird Haven stuff. So, whenever we can get the opportunity, we’ll buy a piece. And sometimes we don’t even realize that’s what it is until we get it and look at it. Sometimes, they had a stamp of some type on the bottom. It may have been a paper label. Every now and then, you’ll see a metal-type tag, and sometimes it’s just burnt into the wood, “Bird Haven.” I don’t know to what extent Shenandoah Community Workers was, but I do know that, like that china, that was actually the name on the china. I wrote down a couple of things I wanted to be sure to mention. I don’t know if you guys will be the ones that talk with a guy named Richard Barb. Richard’s dad, Stuart Barb, was the fellow that ran the lathe, and Stuart is about two years older than I am. If anyone remembers things firsthand, I believe it might be Richard, because he was a little older than me, and his dad worked there, and their home was adjacent to Bird Haven. I don’t know if it was on the Bird Haven property or not, but I know that you had to go past the Toy Factory to get to their house. That was the only access that they had, so it may have been part of Bird Haven proper. Richard will probably know as much as anybody about the things. That’s the extent of my notes (laughs). AW: You talked about how you would go and watch them working sometimes. Was it kind of open? Like could the kids walk through the work area? TD: Well, I guess they had two doors, but it was a small building, probably it wasn’t twelve by twelve. I can’t remember if it had any windows in the front of it or not, but that lathes faced the one wall, and when you walked in you would be behind the lathes, or in front of the lathes I guess, actually, and the worker would be in front of you as you faced that wall. They had two lathes in there, side by side. So there wasn’t, you really didn’t walk through and…you know, they would run it a little bit while you were in there, but you couldn’t talk or anything because of the noise that the lathe made, you know the motor and the cutting the wood. I think that they �used maple, for the most part, for the bowls and stuff they made. At least that’s what it looked like. Usually, when it was varnished, it was a dark color. I guess food-grade varnish, whatever. AW: Is the building you’re talking about the main building? You said that there was something… TD: No. AW: This was an auxiliary building? TD: The building where they planed the lumber was a separate building, the building where the post office was was a separate building, and the main building was another separate building, and that’s where they made a lot of the other stuff. The one where the lathe was was just a small, standalone building. They were all separated, they weren’t adjoining in any way. All the buildings except the one where the planer was and the one where the lathe was…those two were block. The others were frame. Country-style, weatherboarding type, wood siding. AW: So block would be, like, a cinder block? TD: Right. AW: Do you know why, if there was any motivation for building them that way? That’s just how they were? TD: Time, perhaps. I don’t know. I do know that, when I was younger, Hepner Brothers at Mt. Jackson was a large maker of concrete cement blocks, and it’s possible that that was it. And the lathe, where it was, it was a lot of shavings and all, and it was a possibility of sparks, you know, if it would catch, you know, the building would go up pretty quick. So, the fact that it was block, cinderblock, it was less apt to happen. And the fact that Hepner Brothers was available, and made it easy to get the cinderblocks. That’s possibly why they did it. I never heard a reason behind it, but those were the only ones that were not wood frame. AW: And you said the Hepner family. I saw, we were walking around before you got here and we saw that they’re everywhere back here. Is that a big family in the area? TD: In the area, yes. Even now, the Hepners are still part of the church. I know that the first person that was ever buried here at the church was buried in 1887, I believe, before the church was completed. It was a young person that passed away, and their name was Hepner. And they were buried at the very corner of the church out here. And then some members of the Hepners have been part of the church forever. I can’t remember the actual founders of the church, I’m sure there were some Hepners in there. In the main part of the church, we have a tree, and the trunk of the tree are the founders. All of their names are on the trunk, and then all the members are leaves on the tree. That’s from the beginning of the church, and my wife, she’s had a lot to do with that. She tries to keep that up with baptisms and everything, church members. That cemetery thing, she’s done, and she’s in the process now of getting a thing out in the churchyard to show all the locations of all the graves and who’s there, so that people visiting, you know, can see if they know the person’s name they can look at the listing and find it. The church had its hundredth anniversary in 1987, and she did a church history, and she’s in the process of updating that now, because that’s been a while. I know, when she and first got together, she was living in Waynesboro and I was living in Roanoke, and I used to go to Waynesboro in the evenings, after work, and we’d go to the library in Waynesboro, and she would get newspapers from this area from the Library of Congress sent to Waynesboro library. And we’d go over to the library and look through microfish at old newspapers, and get out old tidbits of history and things like that. That was before we got married, and it was quite interesting to do that research because, in those days, they published everything in the newspaper. You would almost call it a gossip column, but, then, it wasn’t gossip; it was news (laughs). One article…my wife’s family, her great- �grandfather…in the newspaper, it said, “Anybody interested in any pigs? Mr. Lemmey’s old sow had fourteen pigs,” or somethings like that (laughs). It was actually an article in the newspaper about it. Anything was news back then. My kids pick on me all the time, “Dad, when you were young, it wasn’t history. You were living it.” AW: Well that’s part of the reason we’re here. Is to get those histories down, so that’s awesome. TD: I know that my wife used to go to my dad, when he was still alive, and talk to him, and he would tell stories. Not untrue stories, usually, on purpose. She did a lot of writing, and all, about things that he would tell her about. And then I had an uncle, he was the last living relative from my grandmother’s ear. When my little girl was, she must have been a year, year and a half old, we would go over to his house. Back then, VHS was the first media, and we would take the VCR and set it up and just run it and let him talk. So, we have that. History has always been one of my wife’s things that she’s really interested in, and we have a lot of newspaper articles and different things like that that she collects and is interested in. The old hotel at Ortney, 1980s, it was renovated. They actually, I don’t know if you all have been to the hotel at Ortney, but it’s a pretty big building, and it four or five stories, the main building. Four or five stories tall, and then the other building are only, maybe, like two or three stories tall. But that main building, five stories, they jacked that whole thing up off the ground. You could see right through underneath of it, all the foundation and everything, and they completely restored all the footers and all the timbers and everything underneath of it. They renovated a lot of the inside and the outside. And after they had it renovated, basically, they put black plastic over the whole building and fumigated it. At night, you could drive by there, and there was a light upstairs in the top floor. I don’t know what color it really was, but it shined blue through that black tarp. I don’t know how many rolls of film I took of the hotel being renovated. Because I’d come up most every weekend, because I was living in Roanoke, and I’d come up, and I’d take pictures of the hotel as the process went on. After my wife and I got married, we started comparing pictures, and she was doing the same thing. AW: It was a sign. TD: (laughs) So, we have a lot of pictures of the hotel being renovated. Around here, you don’t talk about people, because you’re probably talking about my relatives. Or somebody’s relatives, because it all gets linked back somehow or another. My wife and I were married, I think about two years, and her mom gave her a collage for Christmas one year. It was a picture of her mother’s mother’s mother, I believe it was. Anyhow, it was back several generations. The man and woman were Mary and Chris Barb. And that was my wife’s mother’s mother’s mother. I told my wife, I said, “I’ve seen that picture before.” And my granddad, he lived with us the last few years he was alive. He was ninety-one when he passed away, and he had a suitcase that he had pictures in. I went to that suitcase, and there is that picture of Mary and Chris Barb. Mary and Chris were my grandfather’s mother’s mom and dad. AW: Okay. TD: So, my wife and I are third cousins or something like that, but had no idea. My wife made thing that we take to family reunions all the time, and it’s a family tree type thing. They have my family on one side and her family on the other one, and they start out with Mary and Chris Barb (laughs). AW: Not something you expected, huh? �TD: No, no, and we never even had any idea before. But that’s the way it was. I remember my granddaddy’s mother…I remember her quite well. She was pretty old when I was younger, but she and my wife’s mother’s mother were sisters. It’s fascinating. AW: Is that something that happens a lot around here? In this are? Just because it’s so enclosed? TD: Small, today. Although…well, I was going to say that my wife and I aren’t related, but then that’s true either, is it (laughs). What do they say, if you go back fifty generations, or something like that, we’re all related? You might be my cousin. AW: How would we know? (laughs) TD: I lived in Salem, Virginia for a while, and I had a mailbox. I lived in an apartment, but we had mailboxes around, and this girl came over to me one day, and she said, “How do you spell your last name?” I told her, and she said, “Because that was my maiden name.” Come to find out, she was from over in West Virginia, over around Mathias. Mathias, West Virginia is just on the other side of the mountain. It’s only like five miles from where my home is over to Mathias, but the mountain is in between us. There’s a lot of Delawders that lived on the mountain. My family was on this side of the mountain, and hers was on the other side of the mountain. We were probably third cousins or something like that, because my dad told me about her side of the family, that the one guy had like thirteen kids. That wasn’t uncommon back when I was younger, either. I know that my cousins…Dave Klein was one of ten. And then I think they had at least one…it may have been more than ten in his family. But at least one died when they were young. Wasn’t another uncommon thing, early deaths. I know my mom lost her brother when he was just a young teenager, and one of the ladies that used to run the post office at Ortney, when I was in my teens, I was around there, I worked at Ortney, and she used to call me by my mother’s brother’s name. Because she knew him, and we were about the same age when he passed away. And that’s all that she ever called me. I don’t know if she ever knew my real name or not (laughs). It’s interesting things like that. I was born and raised around here, until I was twenty. I went in the service, was drafted in 1964. Spent two years in Arizona, and I got out of the service and came back here and worked for Shantel for about a year. Fifth of December, 1966, I was up on a telephone pole, and it was about thirty degrees, and the wind was a-blowing, and it was snowing. I haven’t been up a telephone pole since. I went to Maryland and got a job as a dispatcher for Maryland State Police, University of Maryland Campus Police. I worked for them for a couple of years, and then I went to work for IBM, fixing computers. Never saw a computer. Back in those days, not very many people had seen computers. But it wasn’t just computers. Equipment, keypad punch and things like that, monitors, different kinds of displays and stuff. Worked for them for thirty-four years. Transferred from Maryland to Arizona, spent three years in Phoenix, then moved back to Roanoke, Virginia, lived there fifteen, eighteen years, then, in 1989, transferred back up here so that our kids could go to the same school we did when we were kids, because we both went to Stonewall. Stonewall Jackson High School, Mount Jackson. When we first moved up here, our kids had multiple grandparents that were still alive. That’s something that we felt was important, that kids know family. My grandfather, he was ninety-one when he passed away, and my son was about one and a half, two. Whenever my son would come into the room and Pappy, by grandfather, would see him, the two of them, both of them’s faces would just light up. Pappy couldn’t hear very well, and my son couldn’t talk very well, but the two of them had a wonderful relationship. We didn’t realize how much young kids can remember until my son was three, and he was ring-bearer at my brother-inlaw’s wedding. His wife’s grandfather was there, and my son went up to him and said, “You �remind me of Pappy. I’m going to call you Pappy.” And that’s what he did. He was only a year and a half old, maybe, when Pappy passed away, but he did remember. People used to pick on us, my wife and I, because our kids, when they were teenagers, they’re now twenty-seven and thirty, but when they were teenagers, in their early teens, had seen forty-eight states. AW: Really? Wow. TD: And my wife and I have seen fifty. Not when we were teenagers, but we used to do things like…we’d go to the zoo in D.C. when they were little. People would say, “Why?” Hey, they remember. And they enjoy seeing the critters as much as anybody, so why not? My son, he was five when we went out west, and we went to Mount St. Helens. He still remembers Mount St. Helens because…that was 1980s when it exploded, and we were there in ’95. The place was still desolate. I mean every tree was just gone. The rivers were running murky grey because of the ash. We bought a salt and pepper shaker, and it was the top of Mount St. Helens. They took and split it, one half salt and one half pepper, and it fit in the cone that was left. He still remembers Mount St. Helens “blew its top.” He was more fascinated with Mount St. Helens than he was with the Grand Canyon. AW: Really? TD: Saguaro cactus interests the kids as much as the Grand Canyon did. They used to have a name for the saguaros, but I don’t remember what they called ‘em now. Actually, there’s aa national forest out in Arizona, Saguaro National Forest. Cactus national forest. The cactus is, well, it’s wood inside, so I guess it is a tree of sorts. You don’t want to hug it, though. (laughs). AW: Probably not. TD: I was helping a guy…he built a house out there when I lived in Phoenix, and there was a pretty big saguaro cactus right at the corner of his house. He left it there on purpose. This one boy who was working with us, he was from Boston, and he had just moved to Arizona. He wasn’t used to the Saguaro cactus. We were working on the house, and he leaned up against the saguaro. (laughs) AW: Probably didn’t do it twice. TD: No, he didn’t do it twice. Yeah, they can be very prickly. We used to have a cactus…my wife had one that was a house plant-type cactus. I don’t know what kind it was, but I know it had a lot of little needles on it, and my son would put his hand on it, and I mean it just filled his hand with spines. My wife took Elmer’s Glue, and put it on his hand where the needles were, and let it set up. When she peeled it off, a lot of the spines came out. She had to repeat it a couple times. She actually put the article in “Dear Abby,” and it was published. But they didn’t use Elmer’s Glue, they said “a well-known glue.” Some of the cactus out there, like the cholla, jumping cactus, you could just walk past it and it would shoot needles at you. AW: I’ve never even heard of that. TD: Yeah, it’s real. AW: Maybe they don’t publicize that one. TD: Possibly not. (laughs) I enjoyed Arizona, but, in the summer time, one hundred-seventeen was just too hot. They say “it’s a different heat.” Yeah, hot. It’s just like opening an oven door, you know, when that heat hits you in the face. I like it around here where we have seasons. Although, I’d prefer it not to be quite so cold. Especially now, my circulation is not so good, my hands are always cold. But, then, that means I’ve got a warm heart, so. AW: I’m sure your family would agree. TD: Well, most of ‘em. My son tells me I’m older than dirt. My wife and I both enjoy living around here. It’s home. We’ve been, like I said, we’ve been in fifty states, and the only state �that we even considered was Oregon. And it guess it’s because of the mountains and the trees and stuff in Oregon. But Virginia is home, the mountains are home. I’ve lived in Phoenix, I’ve lived in Maryland, I’ve lived in Basye. I’ll die in Basye. AW: We did some reading about Bird Haven before we were going to conduct the interviews and everything, and one of the articles we had was talking about how the workers there had a very strong feeling about being in this community and having the role of nature around them. Did you ever run into that with them? Or do you remember hearing about that? Because we don’t know where that information is coming from, we just have that impression of it. TD: From the time I was a boy, Bird Haven, to me, was a sanctuary for birds. I mean, that’s the perception that I had. It’s rural, and I would say that was one of the things, is the people, and the pride in the community. I don’t know that it’s as strong today as it was then, but it’s obvious that it’s still there. With the ski resort and everything, that’s changed the community. When I was a boy growing up, there were sixty families that lived in Basye. I knew every one of them. I don’t know if I know sixty families today. I probably do, but there’s a lot more than that. The pride’s still there. Been called a hillbilly. And that’s okay. They…my brother does landscaping, he does tree removal and trimming and stuff like that as well, and he plants flowers and bushes and trees, whatever. Sells wood. People call him about doing stuff, and he’ll put them down on his list, and people say that he’s on “mountain time.” “When I get around to it.” (laughs) A lot of times, that’s kind of the way things are. It used to be that you didn’t interfere with his hunting season. That was more important than planting a tree. But he does good work, and people are willing to wait for him, and he’s reasonable so…Yeah, I’m one of six. I have cousins that were six, seven, eight in the family. I’ve got two kids right now, that’s more of the family size today than six. Of course, back then, you didn’t worry where you were going to get the money to feed them. We grew most everything we used, around here anyway. We still can vegetables in the summertime. My dad always had a big garden, and he sold vegetables. A lot of people knew my dad from the vegetables. My daughter, she worked for the radio station in Winchester, and she would visit different companies around here in the valley. She was always running into somebody that knew the family. That’s what makes it worth living around here. I went to Madison College, 1962-63, so I lived in Harrisonburg. I’d rather live back here on the hill. I’ve lived in cities. I’d rather live back here on the hill. When we first moved up here, we sold a place down in Franklin County, Virginia, near Roanoke. We had five acres. Stream ran through the back of the property, and we had a three-bedroom brick ranch, full basement. That’s what I was looking for up here. Forty-thousand dollars more, I might have been able to get something near that. But not five acres, and not brick ranch. I told my wife, “I want a brick ranch, five acres. I want to be able to see Basye and the hotel at Ortney. I can see the hotel at Ortney. Can’t see Basye, don’t have five acres, but I like it where we are. I do see the hotel at Ortney, especially this time of year, when the leaves are off the trees. I say this is where I’ll be until I’m out here (gestures to cemetery behind church). My wife and I have a plot out here in the graveyard, so I’ll always live in the mountains. Bird Haven, to me, was always a bird sanctuary type of thing, you know. I don’t know how it got its name, “Bird Haven,” although there are a lot of wild birds around. But I don’t know of a reason for it. There’s a lot of history that goes along Ortney Springs Hotel. Part of it was used as a hospital during the Civil War. Some people think it was an R&R during the war. Shenandoah Allum Springs Hotel, it’s no longer in existence, it’s another one that was similar to Ortney. They advertised the healing effects of the water. Allums, Shenandoah Allum Springs was allum water. There were three springs right in a row, and each one was a different strength of allum. And, if you’ve ever had allum in your �mouth, it makes you pucker. I never drank any of the water, they say that’s what it did to you. The old iron furnace, there at the allum, Henrietta furnace, it burnt, I believe, in the 1850s. They were smelting iron, and there was a big chunk of iron that came out of the furnace and, according to the stories my dad told me, they…it was there on the ground, they dug a hole, was able to roll it into the hole and then covered it up. And there’s a couple of places where it still sticks out of the ground, down along the edge of the creek. As a boy, used to have dealings with the hotel there, the old hotel. My dad had worked there when he was younger, and the fields around there are filled with sled from the old furnace. It looks like glass, obsidian. Different colors, black and blue, and my wife and I have done some exploring around different furnaces. Depending on the type of ground in the areas they mined the ore, what kind of rock came out of it, different colors…green and orange and all. I know that, as a kid, we used to look for the different colors of rock, or glass, or whatever it is. I’ve got rocks at my house from all over the U.S. You can’t collect rocks in the National Park, but you can pick it up along the lakes and stuff like that because they’re private land. Interesting thing about this area is the shale around here, lot of fossils, and, as a boy, we used to dig in the banks and find all these fossils of critters. We had no idea what they were. Of course, what are they, three million years old or something like that? When I went to JMU, I took a class in geology that as fascinating, and there’s a hill between here and Mt. Jackson called Third Hill. Stands out in the middle of an area, it’s cone shaped. Volcanic. At least that’s what the professor at JMU told me. (laughs) AW: Well, and we always believe the professors, right? TD: Yeah, yup. (laughs) AW: I think that might be a good place to end it, for my professor. He’ll like hearing that right at the end. Because we have to go and do his interview too, but thank you so much, I really appreciate you sharing your story. TD: You’re welcome. I wish I had more to give you on the things at Bird Haven. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Bird Haven Oral History Collection Subject The topic of the resource Bird Haven (Va) Shenandoah Community Workers Description An account of the resource Sometime in the early 1920s Philadelphia banker and philanthropist William Bernard Clark founded the Shenandoah Community Workers organization near what is now Basye Virginia. This group was designed to provide locals, many of which were economically disadvantaged, with good paying jobs based on their wood working traditions. Clark built a factory on property his grandmother had purchased as a personal retreat and named it Bird Haven Virginia. Initially the community workers focused on wooden toys and puzzles. Many of these featured birds, Hollywood Stars, or animals. Later the company began to produce small wooden furniture, bowls, and kitchen utensils. Bird Haven closed sometime in the early 1960s. Following this, most of the records were lost and much of the site's history was forgotten. This oral history project, conducted as part of a partnership between the Shenandoah County Library, James Madison University, and Bird Haven Farm, is designed to recover some of lost parts of the site's story. It focuses on interviews of 14 members of the Bird Haven community, including several employees and individuals who lived nearby. All interviews and transcriptions were conducted by JMU history students and are available for viewing in person at the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives.

I’m conducting this interview with Mr. David Cline, about Bird Haven, Virginia and his experience there. Thank you for taking your time to do this interview with us. DC: You’re more than welcome. I forgot more than I probably remember, but I’m getting old and had cancer and all that stuff so. Alright go ahead. AG: What is your tie to Bird Haven? DC: Well my grandfather worked in the blacksmith shop. My mother worked in the finish department, and I would go down with my grandfather to turn the blower to keep the fire going. They had a post office there and the mail carrier would come from Mathias, West Virginia over there. Come across the old dirt road and then he would come to the Bird Have post office and then he would go to the Basye post office. Well I’ve lived here on this property; I was born here. My address changed three times and I never moved. It was Alum Spring, Shenandoah Alum Springs. They had a big hotel there, a three-story hotel. When that burned then they moved the post office to Bird Haven. Well then, I think, in 1952 or 53 they closed the Bird Haven post office and moved it to Basye. So, my address changed three times and I didn’t move. I was part owner of Bird Haven from 2000 to 2010. About twelve years probably. And we were going to �develop it and then the economy got so bad that we couldn’t sell lots and stuff so we had to sell it. I never worked there. I know a lot of people that did, but most of the people that worked there have passed away. AG: You said your grandfather worked in the blacksmithing shop, a lot of the stuff was made out of wood, so what all would his job have been there? DC: Well he worked for other people. If they wanted some nails made, back then they had cut nails. He also made ax handles, hatchet handles, he made hammers, he made hatchets, just anything. A lot of things in the shops down there was metal and if something would break then he would have to make a new piece. He did stuff like that. If someone wanted to come in and wanted some [pieces] sharpened or made, he would do that. AG: And you said your mom worked in the toy shop? DC: She worked in the finishing department, but I cannot tell you much about it. AG: Do you have any memory of being where the work was happening, and seeing what they were doing? Or did you ever enter the shops? DC: Oh yeah, I used to enter the shops when I’d go down there. We’d walked straight through the woods here, it’s only about half a mile. We walked straight through the woods to get to where they worked. AG: When that was occurring did you guys watch any of the work being done? Or did you guys just hang out? DC: Oh yeah, there was one little building there that two people worked in, two men worked in, that was real interesting. They always had a big pile of shavings between them. But they cut out �the bowls, but they wouldn’t do any finish work in that building they just cut the rough bowls, and spoons and, stuff like that. And then it would go to another division where they finished them. AG: When you were a kid did you play with any of the toys that were made there? DC: Oh yeah, Oh yeah. I don’t have them; I wish I did. Yeah, I wish did. AG: What toys did you play with that were made there? DC: I don’t know. Birds, bird houses, and stuff like that. It’s been so long that I can’t remember. AG: You have a lot of the pieces made at Bird Haven. Is there one that is your favorite? DC: It’s my wife’s favorite, all of them. She likes them all, yeah she likes them all. I wish I could have of gotten more. There was a lot more there that was carried off. But the Carr’s bought it when it went up (for sale). What year did they buy it David? Do you remember? DCJ: 2014… 13. DC: 13, they have had it more than four years. DCJ: I don’t believe. DC: Yeah they have too. But anyhow, they bought it. Tore the house down, the old house. Which was in good condition. But it wasn’t good enough for them. So, they tore that down and had a million-dollar house built. And they tore the old post office down, and put it back like it was. And they fixed up all the buildings just about. They haven’t done anything to the blacksmith shop yet. But it’s still there. No, they tore one building down. That’s all they tore down. The rest of the buildings are still there. And they say they are going to remodel all the old homesteads there too. When it was just Bird Haven, it was three other pieces of property there that didn’t �belong to Bird Haven. But people lived there. The old houses are still there the barn is still there. My uncle bought what was called the Lloyd Barb place. Him and his son bought that and they raised cattle. I used to milk cows in the barn there. And then after Mr. and Mrs. Clark sold it Colonel Hamm. Let me think about this. I have to think about this. Well anyhow my uncle bought the Lloyd Barb place in which his son lived there. And then after Colonel Hamm bought Bird Haven off of the Clarks, my uncle sold the Lloyd and Barb place to Colonel Hamm. Then there was another place on down through the woods from there that Theodore Barb lived. And he sold his to Colonel Hamm. That’s the way it got so much land to Bird Haven. Bird Haven wasn’t that big when it was running. After they bought all these other three properties that’s what made the seven hundred some acres. AG: You talked about how you purchased Bird Haven, or purchased stock in Bird Haven. Did you do that because of your tie to the area? DC: I did it because my wife couldn’t talk me out of it? She was really against it. She told me I was going to lose you know. But the company that she was working for was the one that owned it. Which owned Chalet High timeshare. It’s the same man that owned the Mimslyn inn in Luray, but he lost that too. I just thought it was a way to make some money. I mean if everything would have worked like we had planned out. Each one of us would have gotten our money back four or five times, but it wasn’t handled right and they wasted the money. Everyone lost but them. Because we sold sixteen lots there and eight lots across from the airport. We sold 47 acres across the road for $300,000. We lost; it all went some place but we never could figure it out. I think they had two or three sets of books. AG: Do you remember hold you were when Bird Haven closed? �DC: I was born in 42 and I think it closed about 55 or 56. I was about… It was mighty close a little before then. I think the post office moved in 52. The reason they had the post office there they shipped a lot of packages from there. AG: Do you remember what it was like? The atmosphere was and what the mood was when it closed? Of all the workers that were there? DC: When they closed there wasn’t but a few people there. I would say it wasn’t over probably a dozen people when it closed. I mean the business just went off and people wasn’t buying wooden stuff then. They was buying metal stuff. That’s one reason they went out of business, no one to buy it. AG: And the Shenandoah worker’s community seemed like it would have been a tight knit community, especially in such a small area. Was that true? DC: Now what was the question? AG: So, the area is such a small area. The Shenandoah worker’s community seemed like it would have been a lot of people close together. Is that how it was? DC: It just sound, well you read that and you can really…it tells you a lot in there how it was formed. It’s been so long I don’t remember all of it. AG: So, you spent your whole life in this area? DC: Lived on this property all my life, except I was in the service for years. When I first got married we lived away from here about three years. Other than that, I’ve been living right here. AG: In the service where were you stationed? �DC: I was stationed, well I took my basic at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and then I went to Fort Carson, Colorado. And then I went from there to Germany for two years. I was in missiles. The Redstone missile, the missile that put the first man on the moon. They flew us from Frankfurt, Germany to White Sands, New Mexico to part, we were down there six weeks. We went back to Germany. They deactivated the Redstone brought it back to the states. Put it in mothballs and sent it to Persia over there. I helped fire it the last time it was fired, the Redstone missile. Quite the scene. AG: Once you were done with your military service, was there anything that brought you back to this area? DC: I was just from here. I never. I came back and worked at a poultry plant from awhile. Worked over at FMC in Front Royal for about two years. Then I went to Blue Ridge Truss which is closed now. Out here at Basye, between Basye and Orkney. Worked there for 40 years. That’s the reason I’m in this area. I was the production manager there for 32 years at Blue Ridge. AG: What was the experience like working there? DC: We built roof trusses, floor trusses, wall panels. Built houses, we built 50 couple houses on Bryce mountain when it first opened. My son worked for him for 17 years? DCJ: 18 DC: 18. Had a lot of people. I remember one time when it was as many as 200 people working there. Now it’s closed. The gentleman that owned it…started it. He was retired for the government. He was a federal marshal. After he passed away his wife…well I won’t go any further. �AG: Does it give you a sense of pride knowing that you helped build a lot of things around here? DC: I helped. About all the houses around here, we furnished the roof trusses. I built this house myself. I built it in 76. I moved in in 76. But then I built those two rooms. I forgot… probably 15 years later. Maybe a little longer. I done most of it myself. AG: Do you know how many houses in this area you helped build? DC: I don’t know. I know for probably between 15 and 20 years before Mr. Fansler passed away, we was shipping over a million and a half dollars a month in product. So, just about every house around here. He started the business in 60… I think the same year that Bryce Mountain started, 65 or 66. AG: Teddy told us a story about how some of the boys would go to where they stored toys in a building when they hadn’t sold them. Do you remember those buildings being on the property? DC: Yep, they’re not there anymore. If they make more than they would sell. One great big building, a three-story building. That has been remodeled and everything. You ought to ride down on your way. I don’t know, the gate probably be closed. I think they leave about four. If you do go down, when you get to where the house and things is, you can see house over to the left. You go on around to the right and the office is a two-story building on the right. What’s his name? Chris. Chris is his first name. He is the manager. You see they use my property. I’ve got a road that runs all the way down through here. It’s on me they use that. And back when Colonel Hamm bought the Lloyd Barb place, he bought a right away between me and this other subdivision. Bird Haven has got a right away up through there. But I told him instead of cutting them trees and stuff just use my road. Because there is enough dust down one dirt road, instead of having two dirt roads right there. I got to wipe my eyes. Since I took those treatments, my �eyes water all the time. The treatment done something to my heart, I don’t know what yet. I reckon they fix one thing and mess something else up. AG: On the property, I know there was a lot of woodworking. Do you remember anything else about the property? What the surroundings were like? Since it was a bird sanctuary. DC: No, Teddy’s daddy used to tap the sugar trees. Some of them on the property. Back years ago. And cook it down and make maple syrup. My uncle farmed what was known as the Lloyd Barb place when he owned. In a matter of fact, his grandson was disking the field down there with the tractor one time and he made a turn and the tractor come on back on top of the disk. But he didn’t get hurt at all. The disk kept him from getting hurt. The front end of the tractor come back and hit the disk. It was one of those pickup disks. And he didn’t get hurt at all. Yeah, I use to milk cows down there in that barn. That has before it was Bird Haven. AG: You milked cows. Were there any other animals on the farm? DC: They raised cattle. Now the Carrs raised a lot of hogs when they first bought it. Hogs, chickens, ducks, and sheep. But they don’t have anything now. AG: Did you work with any other animals other than the cows? DC: Chickens. Teddy’s daddy was a chicken farmer, he pulled a lot of people that owned the hotel at Orkney. Built nine chicken houses. Teddy’s daddy was the overseer. I reckon he told you that didn’t he? No. Yeah, he was the overseer. I was living in that old house. Me and Teddy would ride with him up there every morning. In the winter time there would be frost on the windshield. He would take his hand and put it on the windshield and get one spot that he could see through, and that’s what it would look like when he picked me up out here. Never would clean the frost off of it. He would just take his and one spot on the windshield he could see �through. Run out of gas one time. He said “I can’t be out of gas, I just put a gallon in here three days ago.” Well, back then a gallon in gas in them old vehicles went a long ways. His daddy was something. He had his hip replaced. He couldn’t hardly walk, but he could really get upset oftly quick. And we could make him upset oftly quick. Is someone going to talk to Teddy’s brother, Curtis? AG: I’m not sure about that. We were just given one person each, that’s all I know. DC: Yeah, someone talked to Richard. There’s an old lady down in Jerome. I don’t know. Betty Funkhouser, Mike’s mother. I don’t know if she ever worked at Bryce’s or not. She is about 83 or 84. I can’t remember if she worked down at Bird Haven or not when it was going. But just about everyone around that worked there are gone. I don’t know of anyone that worked there that is still living. AG: Do you remember playing on the site at all? Teddy had mentioned…I believe he said you and some other of the boys would take boats and put them in the creeks and rivers. DC: Them little wooden boats. Yeah. And then we had a way off from the old big house we had a swimming hole. It was pretty deep… it was probably five feet deep where we would go swimming in the summer time. Yeah, we played in the creek with them wooden boats and toys. I tell you it’s been so long ago. I forget. AG: You said there were only twelve people working by the time the … DC: I don’t really know if it was that many AG: Do you remember when the production started to decline? And why? Other than the lack of demand. �DC: It must have been in the 40’s. I don’t know exactly when it started. I think it was in the 20’s, it might have been in the teens. And I don’t know if that paper says it or not. I don’t believe it does. I don’t see any dates on here except this 1930 up here. It says that had as many as 40 varieties of birds down there. I don’t see anything. It doesn’t says is how long it was there or when it was started. AG: You mentioned your wife was interested in collecting these. How big is you all’s collection from Bird Haven? DC: This is about it, because you never see it for sale. And I guess a piece wood, people just threw it away. Now back right after the Carrs bough it, they had a sale in Edinberg with a bunch of stuff for sale from Bird Haven. But, they run everything up so high that I couldn’t afford to buy it. They’re billionaires. AG: I know a lot of these pieces are collectible. Is there any pieces that you remember being made that you would like to see at some point? DC: I got one bowl out here my wife really likes. Let me go get it. I think she likes that as well as she does any others. AG: That is an interesting looking bowl. DC: Yep. I think it’s made out of one piece of wood. They used a lot of bandsaw blades. AG: And probably a lathe. DC: It must be white oak, I guess. I wouldn’t have any clue. But they used a lot of walnut. There’s some walnut trees down there. They were this big around when I was a kid. I used to pick up walnuts under them. You can imagine what they are now. Right in front of where the old �house was. I used to go down there and pick up the walnuts over the summer. Of course, back then you almost had to give them away because there was so many walnut trees around. Now you can’t hardly find any walnut trees. There’s a butternut walnut tree down there. It’s the only one I know of around here. Instead of a round walnut it’s round and it’s about this long it’s about that big around. It’s called butternut walnut. But here’s a time card. Francis Barb. There she worked 5, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20 hours, $1.25. There’s one, this one got $2.50 for 10 hours. I just found this stuff laying around on the floor down there. This one night watch, guard the boiler. Eleven hours, $2.75. Gilbert Barb, that was Richard’s, the man that those two ladies talked to Sunday, Gilbert was his uncle. Let’s see is this Irene Anderson, I don’t know who she is. And here’s some of the stuff out of the post office. This is another Irene Anderson. Five hours, it don’t say how much she got…0h there it is $0.63. It’s really interesting to just walk around and pick… Most of this stuff came out of the old post office. Here’s some of those pictures and some of the cards they sent out to people. One cent post card. These here…like this man here he sent this card back and said “Dear Bernie” which is Mr. Clark, everyone called him Bernie. “Polly and I have been going over our needs here and are wondering if you could send us samples of the mahogany, black walnut, and yellow post bed. Then he says “Also on the chest of drawers, could you substitute a smaller oval hardware and call you made.” I don’t know I can’t hardly read part of it. But these cards here are like this one sent back “We are ordering for the salad set. Please send some of these wooden pieces to 28207209 people are asking for them. Thanking of you.” They must have had a store in East Albright, New Jersey. And they was ordering this wooden stuff to sell in their store. Here’s one that says “Gentleman please advise us when you will ship our last order.” This was (19)38. This is interesting stuff. And let’s see. Here is one of their sales papers. �AG: When you were walking through Bird Haven was there any particular reason you picked all this stuff up? DC: Just about every day I’d go down I’d just see something laying and I’d pick it up. That was after I spent all that money for nothing. Must be a picnic bench I guess there. If I’d see something laying I’d pick it up. And I wish I’d have picked more up. AG: How often do you go through these things and just look at them and reflect? DC: I looked at them a couple weeks ago. I have some phone books from 1952, but I don’t know where I put them. I put them some place and I don’t know where they’re at. I’ll have to look for them one day. I wanted to show you this. This is 1916. It’s the price list for 1923 for copper tubing. AG: And this was found at Bird Haven? DC: Yep. Everything laying here was found at Bird Haven. But this… you wouldn’t see that mailed through the mail today would you? AG: You would not? DC: with Putin’s picture on it. I found this. I guess they had Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Look at the prices in that. I couldn’t find no date on it. AG: It’s a lot cheaper than it is now. DC: Holy smokes. It’s like in 1958, I was in the hospital 29 days with pneumonia. And my hospital bill and doctor bill were $600 for 29 days. Now it would be $600 for half a day…or more. Because my cancer treatments was $15,000 apiece. It’s unreal. Let’s see if I have got �anything else I want to show you. You want to read that. I wish I had another copy. I would let you have it, but that is the only copy I’ve got. AG: You said your property butts up to the woods, or that you could walk through the woods to get to Bird Haven. DC: Bird Haven. Oh, yeah. Right out here. There used to be a path down through there. They made a road out of it now. It came out down at Bird Haven. AG: I could imagine since everything is so close that the trees were a lot similar to those on the Bird Haven property. DC: Well they didn’t cut all of it on Bird Haven. Because it wouldn’t have been enough property. They had to have some of this maple and black walnut. They must of bought some of that some place else. AG: Do you know where they bought it? DC: No I don’t. It’s like I say. I was born in 42 and it probably closed in 50…I think 55. I wouldn’t have been very old. AG: Did your mom or your grandfather work there while you were alive? Or was it before? DC: Yeah. I used to turn the blower for my grandfather down in the blacksmith shop. I remember he made axe handles, and hammer handles, and hatchet handles with a draw knife. AG: Did he teach you any of those skills while you were there? DC: No. We’re talking 40’s and 50’s. In the 60’s no one bought stuff like that. You went to the store and bought it. Back in the 40’s and 30’s you had someone to make it for you for maybe $0.25. He always sat out on the porch and made those handles out of hickory. He’d cut the trees �in the woods and let it dry. Then he would make the handles. I thought of something else a while ago, but now I can’t think of what I wanted to say. AG: There is a lot of history in this area. Other than Bird Haven what were some of the other major manufacturing jobs that you know of? DC: Well that had the old iron furnaces. Where they got the ore out of the ground dragged out here to Alum Springs. You probably saw it when you come by. Well the old furnace is there. And then to left of it as you are looking at it. It’s more stone it comes out here but it’s not as high as the furnace. Well, Teddy’s daddy used to have a beer joint there. And he sold some bread, eggs, and stuff like that. But he had the beer joint downstairs, and he raised chickens upstairs. Couldn’t do that today. I can remember an old man used to come in there and sit down, and Elmer would poor him a beer and he’d break an egg in it for him. Beer and egg. Elmer used to suck them eggs, Teddy’s daddy. He’d just punch a hole in the end of it, and suck the egg out of it. We found a nest down here, he lived down the road here a little ways from me. Found a chicken nest, had nine eggs in it. Elmer sucked three or four of them, and we took the rest to the house and all the rest of them was rotten. He was probably sucking rotten egg. Now if you have ever smelled rotten egg, I don’t know how he could stand it. Him and I used to make some white lightening. We’d tap these sugar trees, and we’d cook it down. And we’d use that instead of water, you got more white lightening out of it. And if you want to make brandy you don’t put sugar in it. And if you got a 50 gallon barrel of mash with no sugar in it just apples, corn, whatever you wanted to put in it, you only got about three and a half gallons out of it… maybe three gallons. Well if you put 100 pounds of sugar in it you got thirteen gallons out of it. Ten pounds of sugar make a gallon of white lightening. I used to do a little stuff. Where’s this going? Just the class? �AG: It’s going to the Shenandoah library. DC: In Edinburg? AW: Shenandoah County Library. DC: Who do you know that works down there? AW: We don’t have contact with them. We have it with our professor, who has been talking to them. DC: What’s his name? What is your professors name? AG: Dr. Friss. Evan Friss. DC: It’s someone that works at the library, that I know, that’s doing this. I saw him down at Bird Haven. I mean it don’t make a difference, that’s in the past. Elmer and I used to do that, and it a wonder we didn’t get blown up. Because Elmer had laying chicken, and this man on Bryce mountain, the one that invented the seat belt, come by here and talked to Elmer about taking that chicken litter and making methane gas out of it. Well we dug a hole in the ground and put a roof over it. And we set this chicken litter in 55 gallon barrels down in this pit. And that chicken litter would make methane gas. But you can’t see it, smell it, or nothing. We would use that to cook our white lightening with. I can’t think of that man’s name, but he invented the seatbelt. His wife, I think, still lives on Bryce Mountain. He passed away, but I can’t think of his name. Yeah, I had an interesting life. AG: You said your wife was the one that mainly wanted to collect these things? DC: All of this stuff here, 95 percent of it… I bought this at a sale. The rest of this stuff I got at Bird Haven. �AG: Is your wife from this area too? DC: Yeah, she’s from Jerome. Which is about five miles on down the road. Yeah, she’s working now. Got to keep her away. No, most of this came right from Bird Haven. AG: So, it’s just leftovers that were never sold? DC: All of this came out of the shipping building. I got lucky I even got it because people was going in and taking stuff. Wasn’t no locks on the doors. Just lucky to get it. Trying to think of some other stuff, but I don’t know. AG: When you bought stake into the property, how many of the original buildings were there? DC: Oh, everything was there, but a lot of the buildings were ready to fall down. AG: The people you grew up with around Bird Haven, do you still communicate with them? Do you all ever talk about Bird Haven and what it was like? DC: Mr. Alexander, the one that bought it, he’s passed away. I talk to some of the other people that bought in yeah. AG: What about the kids you grew up with on Bird Haven? Like Teddy and all of them. DC: Oh, yeah. I seem them all the time. AG: Do you ever reminisce about Bird Haven? DC: Sometimes, Teddy he don’t like to talk like his daddy. And I don’t like to talk much either. Really, Teddy didn’t go down to Bird Haven, that I remember, much but he didn’t have any working down there. I mean close. Like I say my mother named my oldest brother, he’s passed away now. Mr. Clark, Bernard was his middle name, so mother named my brother Leroy �Bernard. I’m not too sure, but I think my mother might have worked in their house a lot of times instead of working in the factory. I just can’t remember. They had a man that lived with them, a boy. He’s passed away now, but he was a lawyer. And he lived there with them. And I just can’t remember too much about it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Bird Haven Oral History Collection Subject The topic of the resource Bird Haven (Va) Shenandoah Community Workers Description An account of the resource Sometime in the early 1920s Philadelphia banker and philanthropist William Bernard Clark founded the Shenandoah Community Workers organization near what is now Basye Virginia. This group was designed to provide locals, many of which were economically disadvantaged, with good paying jobs based on their wood working traditions. Clark built a factory on property his grandmother had purchased as a personal retreat and named it Bird Haven Virginia. Initially the community workers focused on wooden toys and puzzles. Many of these featured birds, Hollywood Stars, or animals. Later the company began to produce small wooden furniture, bowls, and kitchen utensils. Bird Haven closed sometime in the early 1960s. Following this, most of the records were lost and much of the site's history was forgotten. This oral history project, conducted as part of a partnership between the Shenandoah County Library, James Madison University, and Bird Haven Farm, is designed to recover some of lost parts of the site's story. It focuses on interviews of 14 members of the Bird Haven community, including several employees and individuals who lived nearby. All interviews and transcriptions were conducted by JMU history students and are available for viewing in person at the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives.
