RUTH ELIZABETH8 KISHPAUGH (GEORGE VICTOR7, SIMEON6, JAMES FORCE5, HENRY WILHELM (GIRSHBACH)4, JOHAN JOST3 GIERSBACH, JOHANNES2, PETER1) was born September 03, 1903 in Newton, New Jersey, and died 1988 in Johnson City, Broome, New York. She married THEODORE ROOSEVELT MYERS October 26, 1926 in Johnson City, Broome, New York, son of PETER MYERS and LUCY STURDEVANT. He was born February 01, 1903 in Elkland, Sullivan, Pennsylvania, and died September 13, 1985 in Johnson City, Broome, New York. More About RUTH ELIZABETH KISHPAUGH: Burial: Sanitaria Spring Cemetery, Sanitaria Springs, Broome, New York Notes for THEODORE ROOSEVELT MYERS: My grandfather was named after President Theodore Roosevelt and his parents received a letter signed by the President's secretary thanking them for naming their son after the President. My Grandfather, Theodore R. Myers, used to say that his father got sick went to the hospital, and died while in the hospital (Robert Packard Hospital, Sayre, Pa) so he refused to go to a Doctor for the rest of his life. He was true to his word and never did go to the doctors or a hospital until he passed on. His death was caused when he fell from the ladder as he was climbing on the roof of his camp at a lake in Oxford, NY when he was 82 years old. He worked at Goudy Station power plant (New York State Electric and Gas Corp) in Johnson City, New York for over 40 years until his retirement and received a gold watch when he reached 50 years as an employee (in retirement). Grampa used to say that he was "Pennsylvania Dutch" and that the famous football player Harold "Red" Grange was his cousin. I always thought this was something he made up, but since I have been researching I have found that this was true! I know that he was a good athelete and played baseball on the twon teams that were prevelent during 1920's, 1930's and 1940's around the Binghamton, N.Y. area. At one family reuninon down at Uncle Ellicott Lee's house (where they are still held today) he was playing catch with my brother (who was playing high school baseball at the time, and he threw the ball so hard that my brother had to duck out of the way and the ball went right through the lawn chair that he was sitting on. My grandfather used to talk of Aunt "Lib", Aunt Sadie, and Aunt Norma. The Aunt "Lib" is Elizabeth Margaret Hinkle Shaffer (the half sister of his grandfather John P. Myers), Aunt Sadie is "Red" Grange's mother, and Aunt Norma is "Red's" older sister. Dad tells some stories about Grampa which are really funny. One time it seems they were riding in Grampa's 'Hupmobile' along route 7 between Afton, NY and Bainbridge, NY on the way to visit his grandfather, George Kishpaugh in Morris, Otego Cnty, NY when the wooden spoked wheel came off the car and rolled down into the creek. (I can see Grampa cursing now!!!). It must've happened about 1936-1940 after IBM bought all of them out from Fairmont Park, Johnson City, NY and he used the money to buy the farm in Morris. He told us that they used to raise chickens at the Sanitaria Springs house. They would have chicken for dinner from time to time. It seems that Grampa wanted to get one of the roosters for dinner one night and he could not catch the chicken. He picked up a brick to throw at him and missed and killed one of his prized hens!

He married ELAINE 'BERNITA' ALTA KOLANDA June 15, 1951 in Sanitaria Springs, Broome New York, daughter of WALTER KOLANDA and NELLIE CLEVELAND. She was born April 19, 1933. Notes for ELAINE 'BERNITA' ALTA KOLANDA: My mom, Elaine "Bemita" Kolanda Myers was the only one of the children in her family born in the old family home town of her mother's family in Mansfield, Richmond, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. My Grandfather, Walter J. Kolanda had worked in the Endicott Johnson shoe corporation rubber plant in Johnson City, New York during the 9120's until after 193 1. At that time the family lived at 13 Arch St, in Johnson City. My grandfather was one of the many people who lost their jobs as the Great Depression worsened and the family was forced to move to Mansfield into the home of my grandmother's parents. She was born there. All of my cousins and Aunts and Uncles call my mother "Bemita". I always just took it for granted that this was a nick-name. In talking to mom recently l discovered why this was her 'name'. My grandmother had always wanted to name her Bemita but a couple of months before she was born one of my grandmother's Watkins cousins named her daughter 'Bemita'. My grandmother was very upset and named my mother Elaine Alta, BUT when she was baptized my grandmother and grandfather had her Baptized as Bemita Elaine Kolanda. Now l know why she is called 'Aunt Ber' by all of my cousins and Bernita by her sisters and brothers.
