++Lonnie C. (L.C.) b. 22 Aug. 1881 d. 18 Feb. 1919 in Charleston, West, VA
Lonnie was also a barber, just like his brothers Cornelius J. and Angus Edgar. He married Amanda Ausley on 6-4-1900
in Durham, NC. Amanda was born in August 1879 and died on 19 May 1910 in Portsmouth VA. She was the daughter
of Thomas A. and Emeline Cates Ausley. Grandparents were Isaiah and Rhoda Ray Cates of Orange County and
Almond and Mandy (Amanda) Brasington Ausley of Chatham County, NC. After their marriage, Lonnie and Amanda lived
in Durham, NC and Portsmouth, Virginia.
Lonnie and Amanda had one
child, Lawrence Vernon (b. 1907 in Virginia). After the deaths of his parents (exact times unknown), I believe Lawrence
Vernon Maynor might have been adopted by his aunt and uncle, William B. and Victoria Ausley and went
by the name Lawrence Vernon (Larry) Ausley from that time on.
Lonnie is
listed in the 1911-12 Durham, NC City Directory living at 703 Corporation Street along with his father, W.J. Maynor.
No mention is made of his child, Lawrence Vernon. William B. and Victoria Ausley are listed
in the 1910 Virginia Federal Census (Portsmouth) as having "no children." Lawrence Vernon
would have been about 2 years old in 1910. Then in the 1920 Virgnia Federal Census (Norfolk), William
and Victoria list a son, Vernon, age 12. In the obituaries for both William Ausley and Victoria Ausley, there
is no mention of a son as a survivor. Lawrence Vernon Ausley died in 1970 in Gila Bend,
AZ. Lonnie moved to Petersburg, VA sometime after
1911 and he married Maude Mabry (daughter of Archibald & Minnie Lee Baxter Mabry) on 17 August 1912. They had one son, Woodrow Maynard, born abt. 1914 (died May 1972--obituary states
there are no surviving famiy members). Lonnie was a barber in Petersburg and he & Maude lived with her mother on
214 N. Sycamore until after Woodrow was born. Lonnie is not listed with Maude after the 1913-1914 Petersburg City Directory--she
continued to be listed as living with her mother in the city directories through 1920. Maude married Charles B. Wells
on 17 Sept. 1929 in Petersburg. Her marriage license stated she was a widow.
Lonnie
filed his WWI Registration papers in Charleston, West VA. in 1917-18. He ws living at 218 Patrick Street, was a barber, and
listed Elizabeth Maynor as his next of kin. Who is Elizabeth? Lonnie
died of pneumonia Feb. 18, 1919. His death certificates lists him as married, but no other personal
information--including place of burial--are listed. According to Barlow Funeral Home in Charleston, Elizabeth
Maynard paid his expenses.
++Mary Alice (Alice Maynard) b. 3 April 1884 d.
1-6-1966 in Rocky Mount, NC.
married (1st) Milton A. Peace on 3-23-1903 in Winston-Salem, NC.
His parents are listed as J.N. Peace (dead) and C.F. Peace (living, Durham, NC). By the 1910 Federal Census,
Alice Peace was a widow living in Norfolk, VA with her 6 year old daughter, Mary Judson. By
the 1920 Virginia Census, Mary Alice married William Hogshire in Norfolk. William was 47 and a sailmaker
at the Navy yard. Also, by 1920, Mary Alice's daughter "Mary Judson" married William Hogshire's son,
Ryland, who was also a sailmaker. They were married when Mary was 15 and Ryland was 19. By the 1930
Virginia Federal Census, Mary Alice was again widowed and living with Ryland and Mary Judson Hogshire in Princess
Anne County (Kempsville).
++Angus Edgar (b. 6-6 or 6-22-1877
in Chatham/Moore County d. ???)
He married Virginia Ella "Jennie"
O'Neal on 6-29-1902 in Durham, NC. Jennie was born in April 1883 in Wake County and was the daughter of John
and Rebecca A. Ferrell O'Neal. Grandparents were Michael and Ann Barker O'Neal of Wake County.
From 1903 - 1910, Angus and Jennie lived in Greensboro, NC where he worked as a barber. By the time of the 1917/1918 WWI
Draft Registration, they were back in Durham and lived there until around 1926. During this time, he was a barber
at High & Brodgen, The Superb Barber Shop, and First National Bank Barber Shop. When his father died in September
1926, the obituary listed Angus as living in Hendersonville, NC. Angus and Jennie visited a Stokes family from time
to time in Hendersonville. He was listed, with his family, in both the 1927 City Directories for Durham and Greensboro,
NC.
Angus and Jennie had four children: Vera Leigh (born 1903), Victor Edgar (born 1906), Lois
Virginia (born 1911), and Mary Rebecca (born 1921).
Angus disappeared from Greensboro sometime in 1927. When Jennie and their youngest daughter,
Mary Rebecca, came to pick him up after work....Angus was gone....leaving an envelope with a note and some money.
From August 1930 to January 1934,
Jennie Maynor boarded her young daughter, Mary Rebecca, in Elon Orphanage so that she could work at a Burlington
cotton mill. In October 1933,
Jennie Maynor was granted an absolute divorce from Angus Maynor (he did not answer any summons and the court officials could
not locate him) in the Durham NC Civil Court. In December 1933, Jennie married John E. Sharpe of Hillsborough (the husband of her late sister, Annie). Shortly
thereafter, Jennie removed Rececca from the Elon Orphanage and brought her to Hillsborough to live.
Angus's daughter, Mary Rebecca, received a telephone call in 1960 from a man
who said he was Mr.Weatherspoon---a friend of Angus' and that he had heard that Angus was in a rest home somewhere in the
Asheville area. This "Mr. Weatherspoon", who called Rebecca at her beauty shop in Durham, also asked
about Rebecca's brother & sisters and whether any effort had ever been made to find Angus. Rebecca said that
her mother had tried several times to find out what happened to Angus, but was not successful. After the
call, Rebecca's sister, Lois, drove from New York to Asheville in an effort to find Angus, but did not.
Years later, Rebecca often wondered if it had been
Angus himself who called her.
Someone in North Carolina knows what happened to Angus. Will we ever find out???
