  1. 1.  Michael William PARK was born on 17 Feb 1973 in Falls Church, Fairfax, Virginia, USA (son of Paul Raymond PARK and Viveca Louise CHASTEEN, son of Michael Alan MITCHELL and Viveca Louise CHASTEEN).

    Notes:

    Mike & Dela's Love Story
    Mike met Dela on Saturday October 13th, 2007 in Sylva, North Carolina. Mike had a buddy, Ray, in one of his education classes whose wife, Nancy, had a friend named Dela.
    The initial plan was to have us both over to their place for dinner and cards. Then, Nancy decided that she better screen Mike first and make sure that he was worthy of meeting Dela. At the last minute, however, Dela decided to come and Nancy prepared delicious vegetarian lasagna. It was still light out when Mike arrived. Dela was wearing a purple shirt and blue jeans. Mike was immediately smitten and Dela returned his attention by flirting while they were playing post-dinner games. Dela was also impressed how well Nancy's daughter, Kennedy, took to Mike and his love for pets. Dela gave Mike a ride to the bottom of the Crawford's steep driveway. They both said good night. Dela turned right on the four-lane and Mike turned left.

    A few days later, Mike took Ray to Guadalupe's, a local restaurant, and bought him some goat in exchange for Dela's phone number. Mike called Dela on Tuesday and she returned his call on Thursday but got Mike's voicemail. They were finally able to talk, when Mike called back. Dela was at the Fun Factory where she was hanging out with Nancy, Kennedy and Kennedy's brother, Ty, so it was a little noisy. Mike and Dela made plans for Saturday, October 27th.

    Mike and Dela met at Bogart's (formerly Grandma's Pancake Barn) on East Main Street. Mike was the first to arrive and was holding the column up in front of the door. Dela would later confide that Mike was not unpleasant to look at in his sunglasses and blue button up. They had a nice meal in the backroom with a rowdy group of Mennonite folks who had three tables pulled together. Mike learned of Dela's unrelenting passion for sweet tea.

    After dinner, they took Dela's car about a quarter of a mile to the Quin Theatre where they saw a forgettable cop drama called "We Own the Night". Mike enjoyed how he and Dela's arms touched throughout the movie. After the movie, Dela dropped Mike off at his car, where they kissed goodnight. Mike retrieved a small aloe plant called Stevie that he had bought for her. When he got home, he texted Dela and told her how beautiful she had looked. They were happily married at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina a year and a half later.

    Michael married Dela Siobhan O'NEAL on 18 Apr 2009 in Wrightsville Beach, SC. Dela was born on 24 Jan 1977 in Sylva, Jackson, North Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    1952 Paul, the picture in the garage was Thanksgiving 1952. This was when Popie was finishing the house on Stop 12. Steve had a monkey that HATED women and he had to get rid of it, back to the Jones. Aunt Peg came and she and Revina got into an argurement over Joyce and the little half bath Mom had in the garage. Aunt Ida said Joyce was playing in the toilet.
    The picture of a lot of people was at Garfield Park and it was the church picnic that Mom and Popie attended.

    Valarie Chasteen said the following:
    This picture(#1) says a lot to me about the love and fun we shared at the cabin with grandma and grandpa. It always makes me smile. My mom reminded me last night that when grandpa bought the boat the steering cables were reversed so that when you turned the steering wheel left, it went right. We actually went out on Cataract Lake in it like that but later he had it repaired.

    Chester Arthur Chasteen worked hard raising a family during the depression. He met Madie Mae Beam when he was 20 years old. His mother, Ida belle Phelps Chasteen, invited her over for a dinner with a few other church members. Chester was a religious boy, but he had back sledded to the ways of the world. He was a sinner, but after he met Madie he went to church whenever the church doors opened. Ida Belle said he got saved and quit smoking cigars. I’m Chester’s son, Paul Chester Chasteen, writing this.

    Madie had married Lovell Arnold Beam in 1922. They had a son the next year named Jack Lovell Beam. Four years later on 21 Feb 1926 Lovell died of TB. She got a job at the sanitarium where Lovell was being treated to be near him. Lovell played the piano and one day he passed a church and went in. They needed a piano player so he volunteered. He told them of his illness so they prayed for his healing. He was converted and was baptized. Madie was also baptized. They attended the same church as Ida Belle. After Lovell died mom had met dad at this dinner party in 1927. They were attracted to each other and shortly thereafter they got married and on 17 June 1928 John and I arrived. Eighteen months they had a daughter named Marcene Mae Chasteen. They referred to her as a blue baby, but at the time they were afraid it could be catching so Ida Bell took the twins and didn’t give them back until they were 15 years old. Marcene lived for nine months. Years later they learned her heart did not allowed the blood to be purified.

    During World War two he worked for the New York Central Railroad Repair Shops in Beech Grove Indiana. He bought three acres of land on South Emerson Avenue about one and half miles from the RR shops. As he could afford it he built three houses. The first one was later referred to as the chicken house. He raised chickens in the first house for the eggs which he sold. Mom would kill the chickens when they stopped producing and sell them. Dad dug a water well and an outside toilet. The outhouse (privy) was well equipped with a Sears and Roebuck Catalog, and it wasn’t there to look at. Every Monday mom would the laundry outside in a large cast iron tub and hang it outside to dry. Dad had a large garden and mom would can the veggies. He also worked on weekends for the Railway Express sorting boxes being mailed in boxcars. He also worked for the Barbersol shaving cream company. At the railroad he bucked rivets on the metal boxcars. That was a hot, dirty and noisy job. After the war he was allowed to quit the railroad job.

    After the war he had two more sons James Rodney and Stephen Lee and a daughter named Rebecca Ann. He quit the railroad after the war ended and worked as a machine operator for International Harvester where they made truck engines. As time went by he built two more houses each bigger and better that the earlier ones. They all had inside plumbing and inside automatic washing machines and dryers. He retired from there about 1963.

    As the children got married and left home things got a bit easier for dad. Rebecca got married in 1949, James in 1952 and Stephen in 1967. A few years later in 1948 he built small cabin near Counot Lake near Cloverdale, Indiana. All the grand children would spend time with him at the lake. He got a boat and a moped mainly for the grandchildren.

    Chester married Madie Mae MOORE on 01 Sep 1927 in Brother Osborne's house in Indianapolis, Indiana/Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana, USA. Madie (daughter of Andrew Jackson MOORE and Anna Annie YARBROUGH) was born on 26 Feb 1904 in Cementville, Indiana, USA; died on 11 Oct 1995 in Lodi, San Joaquin, California, USA; was buried on 16 Oct 1995 in Lodi, San Joaquin, California, USA.

    (The following is from an extended interview between Chuck Griep -husband of Valarie Jean Chasteen- and Madie Mae Moore Chasteen on July 4, 1989)
    PART 1: How Madie met and married Lovell Arnold Beam:
    Madie and her sister Peg (Margaret) went to see Henry Johnson, a cousin in New Albany, IN. They went to Fountain Ferry park in Louisville, KY where there was music and a dance band. She danced with Lovell Arnold Beam (whose uncle was Jim Beam of whisky fame and his brother was General Roseham Beam during WW-2. He was a bird Cononel at Boca Raton, FL in 1946 ). He took the sisters back to the cousin's house in a car. Later Lovell came to Indianapolis to find Madie. He stood on the corner of Washington and Illinois Streets, hoping to see her. He didn't find her, so he looked in the phone book for her sister Ida. He called Ida who invited both him and Madie over to her house. They dated for just 6 days and then married. Madie was 17. The date was August 2, 1922. They were married at a magistrate's at the courthouse in Indianapolis, IN with Ida signing for Madie. They moved in with his mother in Louisville, KY in a house on Story Avenue. He worked for Ewing's milk company as a delivery man.

    Later they moved to 1020 South 2nd Street in Louisville. On November 23, 1923, Jack Lovell Beam was born at home. Dr. Mathhews and the mother-in-law delivered the baby.

    The last picture show that Madie went to see was at the Kentucky Theater in Louisville--it was "Three Weeks".

    Lovell Arnold had TB and was admitted to a sanitorium. Madie got a job there. At this time Lovell had a vision of Jesus and said that he could only get well because of Jesus. They moved to Indianapolis and lived with Madie's sister Ida. Lovell slept on the porch to get more air. Lovell was going to be treated by Palmer's Chiropractic School. On his way to his first visit there, he went into an evangelist's meeting in a tabernacle. They needed a volunteer to play the piano, so he volunteered and they ended up praying for healing for him. He stayed until midnight, worrying Madie to death. They told him that he and Madie should fast and pray and then come back to the next night. Madie didn't want to go because she cussed all day (because the baby was bad "fingered the table" she had just waxed). She had never been to a Pentecostal church before. They want anyway and got saved, but he was not healed. They continued to go to church at the tabernacle.

    They heard about another church at the tabernacle, Laurel Street Tabernacle. The people there had had a vision of a young couple who needed help and interpreted this to mean Lovell and Madie. They rented a cottage and furniture for them and got Madie a job. At this time Madie started growing her hair to be a real Christian. Lovell asked her never to marry anyone else. Once while going out to get some water for Lovell, Madie had heard a voice which said "I have many things to tell you, but you aren't able to bear it". Three days before Lovell died, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and released her from her promise not to marry again. Lovell died on Feb 21, 1925 when his son Jack was 18 months old. They buried him. Jack was put into formal daycare at $2 a week and Madie had him on weekends.

    PART 2: How Madie met and married Chester Arthur Chasteen:

    Chester's mother invited a group for a get together, including Madie. Chester and Madie got paired off. Chester's family went to the same church as Madie, but Chester was backslidden and didn't go to church. Madie was taking care of a mentally disturbed young girl for a rich family. After the get together, Chester started showing up at church and Wednesday prayer meeting to court Madie. Madie found out that Chester smoked - it was the last time. They were eventually married in the minister's living room by Brother Osborne on Sept 1, 1927.

    PART 3: Chester Arthur Chasteen

    Chester worked for the railroad (New York Central - unionized) during World War II - he couldn't quit because of the war. He worked on a 3-man riveting gang. As soon as the war was over, he went to work for International Harvester. They voted in the union after he had been there for six months.

    PART 4: The birth of John and Paul

    On a Saturday, Madie went on a streetcar and bought ten gallons of pineapple to can on Sunday morning. At 5:30 A.M. on Sunday, Madie asked if Chester had kicked her in the back. Chester went out to find a telephone. He found a total stranger that had a phone and called a cab and the hospital. John Thomas was born on the way to the delivery room at 6:15 A.M. Madie held John while Paul was being born at 6:30 P.M. "Paul had a veil over his face", which meant that he would be smart.

    PART 5: A visit to some cousins

    Madie's mother Anna Yarbrough didn't let her kids associate with her sister's kids because they were so poor. Once Madie and Chester went to New Albany to see Mary (Yarbrough) Nail and her kids, without knowing how to find them. Madie saw a stranger and thought it was her cousin - it turned out to be George Nail. He told them where he lived. He was hauling groceries in a wagon and met them at home.

    PART 6: Some proverbs of Madie's
    Slower than the itch Slower than molasses in January Went sideways to keep from flying So old it was growing whiskers
    As welcome as the flowers in May As fine as frog's hair Sweet one
