Read More	Eldon (sometimes seen as Elden) was the son of Roger Heflin, my uncle, who d. 1920 and of Macie May Godfrey Heflin who later married Jack (Wm. Jackson) Herndon. His sisters: Edna Marie Heflin Wolfe and Harrietta Virginia Heflin Moss (deceased 2010). Note: 1-12-14: A death certificate says that he died at age 3 of spinal meningitis lasting about a week and that the MD had been attending him since "sometime in the fall." My father, born in 1896, always said that Eldon had fallen into some hot water at butchering time or else was somehow injured by scalding water that fall. Could that be why a doctor had been coming to see him? Could that injury be what weakened him and contributed to his getting spinal meningitis? I have read up on the disease and it says that a weak immune system and a physical trauma can sometimes cause the illness........ very interesting info. My father, Ruben Heflin, said as a boy he helped build the house at Catlett where I think Roger may have lived for a while, but I can't be sure. (Daddy said, "I was a boy doing a man's work.") His parents lived there, definitely, and at some point had lived near Sowego where they leased land. [Note: 4-13: The house near Daniel's Mill was built about 1910 and my grandparents Jim Heflin and Angeline Kane Heflin lived there. I surmise that Roger and Macie lived at Sowego somewhere.] All my life the house has been owned either by Cal and Fannie Colvin Heflin or their daughter and husband, June and Shirley Jefferies. It is still in their family although June and Shirley are deceased now. The house was near Cedar Run and Daniel's Mill and the old hamlet of Weaversville destroyed in the tornado of 1929. But at some point my father's parents lived at Sowego in a house still standing where they leased farmland. {Note: 4-13: They must have leased the house at Sowego prior to building the 1910 house at Weaversville below Catlett.] The Godfrey family lived nearby on their own farm and there were 16 children in the family. So that may be how Macie met Roger and Lillie met Henry. Later, my grandmother had a house built on land on Rte 607 or Shenandoah Path and the farm had 300 acres. I am not sure what year the Heflins moved there. She died there in 1936. I'm not sure if my grandfather ever lived there as he died in 1924. Sisters: Harrietta Virginia Heflin Moss died 2010, age 91 and Edna Marie Heflin Wolfe died Nov. 12, 2015 at age 98. and several half-sisters ---------------- I have had some copies of old Fauquier Democrat papers for a long time and was looking through them this weekend. I found one that had an "In memoriam" for Eldon Heflin. In Memoriam In sad but loving remembrance of Eldon Heflin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Heflin, who died February 2, 1918, aged 4 years. Oh, dear Eldon, how we miss you, Every night and every day, My heart is sad and lonely Ever since you passed away. ---By his loving friend, May V. Sanford
