In the life of all of us there is someone whom we look upon as a sort of
second mother. That person by some quality or habit endears themselves
to us in early childhood, and we go on through life holding them in reverence
in a part of our heart set aside especially for them.
My memory goes back to the time when I was a little boy, to a certain
old lady whose house I visited now and then--and to the sweetest, best
cookies that a hungry boy ever put into his mouth; to mellow ripe, golden
colored little pears that grew on a tree in the yard near the house; to other
good things to eat that seemed always present when I happened by; to a
grand old lady who would put her handkerchief to my nose and tell me to
"blow" if I happened to have a bad cold, as I usually did in cold weather.
I thought she was an old woman then, and that has been 25 to 30 years ago.
Today my heart is saddened. Because yesterday I received a telephone
message that Mrs. Martha Umphlett, one of the finest women I have ever
known, had passed away at seven o"clock that morning--and I had lost my
"second mother."
Although I cannot help but feeling sad because she has been taken away,
I know I shouldn't be because I believe that if a better place is prepared for
those of us who are good after we have finished here Mrs. Martha Umphlett
has certainly gone on to that place. I know, too, that she was not afraid to die,
may have even welcomed death as a relief from the pain and misery that has
been hers since she received severe injuries in a fall a few years ago--although
she continued to be cheerful to those around her and didn't complain for herself
about her afflictions.
There are still people who live their lives to serve others. Mrs. Umphlett was
one of them. She was a hard-working, dutiful wife to the man she married early
in life. She raised a large family of fine and upstanding children, yet she found
ample time to be of service to her neighbors in time of sickness and misfortune.
She was one of those persons who glorified in being able to do something for
her fellowman to make life's path easier.
The bereaved family of Mrs. Umphlett will miss one in whom they were won't
to go for comfort in times of indecision, but they, like me, will find a solace in
the fact that she has gone on to a well-deserved rest from nearly a century of
helping and comforting others.

Dear Bill & family,
Sorry I've been so long sending you these papers, but
time gets away and I can easily put off doing things.
I went to see you Dad one day just before Christmas
and I asked him what I could get for him, he said a watch, so I sent him one
and was very proud of it.
I've just talked to Leonard, he said he had talked to the
nurse, very confused most the time, but he is able to set up part of the time, but
stays about the same.
I do hope all of you are fine, but sorry you are having
so much snow. We have had a little snow last night, and looks like we will get
more.
Hoping all of you are fine and can be coming to see
us soon.
Much love for all....Aunt Celia
This aunt I remember real well and that includes my early
years as well as in April 1985. (I stayed with her when my father was in the
hospital in Elizabeth City just before he passed.)
I remember visiting her house (Strawberry Hill) and eating
a lot every time that we visited. She had a pass-through from the kitchen area to
the dining area, which may have been to the formal dining room or back on the
enclosed area of the back portion of the house. No one ever left Aunt Celia;s
house hungry. When I was at her house when Daddy Jimmie was in the hospital
we sat down for our meal which I thoroughly enjoyed. She then asked if I wanted
some dessert, no, it was what kind of cake do you want for dessert? I told her that
I would like a thin piece of pound cake because I was really full alreadly. I want you
to know that she brought me such a thimn piece of cake that you could read a
newspaper through it. She and I both thought it was funny and really enjoyed a good
laugh. (She did give me an ample piece later).
When I was a little boy she took Faye Dail and I out in
the yard with two pieces of straw from a broom and taught us how to catch doodle
bugs. She also taught us a rhyme to go alone with it, but I cannot remember it,
but you had to say it to catch a doodle bug.
She also thold me that one time when I was a baby
that my mother and I were laying in the bed during a storm, that turned into a
tornado, and the roof was blown off and we could look right up into the sky.
(That one I do not remember).
She also use to put some coins in my pocket when
we were preparing to leave to go back to our home. I thought I was really rich.
She did the same thig to my son, David, when we went to visit her. David thought
it was a big deal also.
When I was staying with her when Daddy Jimmie
was in the hospital she told me when I thanked her for visiting him that I did
not need to thank her....she said that Umphletts always stick together...I will
never forget that statyement. She said that one time she visited my father
that she asked if he needed anything ...he told her he wanted a watch...she
bought hime one for him and delivered it even though at the last he had no
concept of time.
I did not get an opportunity to see Aunt Celia again
after my father's death but I did call her when when she had fallen off the porch
and broke some bones in her legs. We did have a pleasant conversation and
this is the last time we spoke to each other.

I had always heard that my Grandmother, Florence Emma Walters Umphlett,
received a crystal pickle dish for being selected as the prettiest girl in
Perquimans County, N.C. I was not exactly sure of the location of dish, but
was told that Mary Griffin Douglass had it in her home.
Barbara and I went to N.C. in April 06 and had an opportunity to have lunch
with Mary. When she arrived at the dinner area she had something carefully
wrapped in tissue and in a bag. It was the pickle dish. Not only did she have
the dish but also a note that had been written by her mother, Sister Belle
Griffin, that was directed to Uncle Thomas Leonard Umphlet.
The body of the letter: (not dated). "When your mother was in her late teens
a big ice cream party was held in Perquimans County at which time a vote
was had to decide who was the prettiest girl in the county. Your mother was
acclaimed the beauty.
This pickle dish was given her at that time.
I pass it on to you and Peg (Uncle Leonard's first wife). When you no
longer use it, you might like to pass it on to another of her loved ones."
Many years ago Uncle Leonard had offered it to Mary and she accepted
only to pass it on to me in April 2006. It is one of the most cherished items
that I have collected over the years to enhance the family history of the
Umphletts.

Dr. Thomas Leonard Umphlet...Tom to his friends..
Uncle Leonard to me...."Brother" to his brother.
I have known Uncle Leonard all my life(That is an
odd statement to make, but true). When I was about five or six years old, he
and my father and I went to a hobby shop. He bought me a lionel engine and
tender for my train set. He bought himself an entire train set the same day..
we went back to his house and he nailed the track to the hardwood floor in the
first room to the right as you enter. If you pick up the big rug I am sure that
you will find the holes that will be in an oval shape. (House was on White Oak
Rd). I do not recall Peg saying anything, but I was too young to make any
comment and probably too young to know if anything was said out of the way.
Going to Uncle Leonard's home is just like going to
Aunt Celia's home..you never leave hungry..and you can get any flavor of ice
cream you want..just ask for it.
When Barbara and I visited him one time he fixed
breakfast just like he always does. He served everyone, I wish that you could
have seen the plate that he served Barbara..she even had forced seconds..he
didn't really force feed her, he just put it on her plate.
During our visit we went over to the pond, I was in the
front seat with him, Pattie and Barbara were in the back seat. I had to get out
and open the gate and when I go back in he gave me a little signal to listen and
not say anything. He told Barbara I am going to take you over to the cottage
where you and Bill can spend the night. He drove pass the main cabin and went
to his left towards the boat house. The cabin that we came to was in desperate
need of repair, screens torn, door off the hinges, windows broken..He told Barbara
"Well, here it is" I cannot tell you her reply. We just all had a good laugh at her
expense. He said he was serious.
I took David to N.C. and he had an opportunity to meet
Uncle Leonard . David had already heard enough about him to feel that he already
knew him. They hit it off! David really enjoyed the visit and he asked Uncle Leonard
about his life..Uncle Leonard took him all the way from the Civil War(?) until the
present date...and David asked for more. I will never forget the time they had together
for I just tried to standby and speak when I was spoken to. David was really
impressed with his great uncle and I feel that the impression worked both ways.
David made the remark to his mother when we returned to San Antonio that when
Uncle Leonard speaks to you he looks you straight in the eye, an attribute that David
looks for in any man. I just wish that they could have had more time together and
know him as I do.
Uncle Leonard as a brother...He was certainly his brother's
keeper..no one will every know how two brothers could be so different and still be so
close. They truly loved each other and saw each other through some good times and
bad times (one may have done more "seeing" than the other, but they always stood
together.
Uncle Leonard was there so many times when my mother
was so sick and Daddy Jimmie did not have the funds to carry on. I remember one
time through Uncle Leonard's association with other physicians that this happened..
my father went to pay some on a heart specialist bill and the doctor instructed his
office nurse to bring the bill to him. He told my father that he wanted him to bring a
ham to him the next time that he was over in the Hertford/Edenton are..Daddy did
and the physician received the ham and tore up the bill that he owed. Daddy told him,
"That is going to be one of the most expensive ham that you will ever eat".
One time Mother Dot was very sick in Henderson and the
doctors said that they could not help her anymore..Daddy called Uncle Leonard and
he came from Raleigh and had her transferred to Rex Hospital in Raleigh...she was
cared for and lived for a few more years when others had given up on her.
Uncle Leonard as an uncle..No nephew could ask for a better
man to be his uncle. In 1952 he came to my high school graduation and offered to help
me financially to go to Wake Forest College...when it was in Wake Forest. He presented
this offer to me in my Grandmother Newman's kitchen. He presented this offer without
any rules, stipulations, requirements, pay back, or anything. Well, I went to Wake Forest
for two years without setting any records of accomplishment and decided that college was
not for me. Did I make a mistake of not trying harder, was I not prepared for college in the
first place, did I not have any definite direction in my life?.....I still do not know the answer.
.I did join the Air Force and served for thirty-eight years in the active and reserve forces.
Was I a disappointment to him as well as myself..we never have discussed it. I do hope
that he knows that I did and will always appreciate the opportunity to be a better man
with more education. We will never know if I would have been a better man than I am
today.
I often wondered why Uncle Leonard used only one "T' in his
last name rather than "TT". I think I asked him one time long ago and his reply was,
"My hand got tired of writing so many letters". I guess that I will never know the real
reason.
There are volumes that could be written about Uncle Leonard
as an Uncle, Friend, Physician, Story-teller, Humorist, a Motivator, Husband, Brother,
Cook....but it can be all be put into one word...He is a "man".
Medical: Thomas Leonard Umphlet, M.D.
Childhood: Had an unusual, but interesting childhood due
to the death of his mother in 1915 when he was six years old. His father was a
farmer, general farm store merchant, owed and operated a grist mill, cotton gin and
lumber mill. Grandparents were farmers, had herdso of cattle and sheep. Both sets
of grandparents were born prior to the Civil War. For the four years following his
mother's death, he lived with his paternal grandparents, returning home to his father
and new step-mother for four years, when his father was killed in a mill accident.
After his father's death in 1923, he lived with his maternal grandparents in Hertford
until he finished high school in 1927. EDUCATION: Early schooling was in a one-room,
one teacher school. (He says this is why he never learned to read or write.) While
living with his maternal grandparents in Hertford, he attended the Hertford schools,
graduating from high school (Perequimans County High School) in 1927. Formal
education was erratic: 1927 Davidson college for one year; 1928 University of North
Carolina for two years and two summer schools; 1930 Wake Forest Medical School
for two years; 1932 transferred to University of Pennsylvania, graduating with medical
degree in 1934; served as physician at Dorothea Dix state Hospital in Raleigh for six
months in 1934;Internship and Residency at Grasslands Hospital, Westchester County,
New York, as rotating intern for 1 1/2 years; solo resident physician of internal medicine
and contagious diseases for one year, chief resident of medicine and infectious diseases
for 1 1/2 years. PRACTICE: Returned from New York in late December 1938 with wife,
Margaret Douglass (a Research Bacteriologist) with whom he opened his office for the
solo practice of iinternal medicine in the 800 block of Hillsborough Street, Raleigh. Moved
his office to 109 N. Boylan Avenue in 1947; was later joined by the following physicans,
Isaac Wright, Benjamin Ferdon, Phil Miller, Don Campbell, and Phil Ashburn. Upon
beginning his practice, became member of staff of Rey Hospital, also attending physician
at St. Agnes Hospital and later, Wake Memorial Hospital. While on staff at Rex Hospital,
served as Staff President, served as Chairman of the Medical Service for ten years, and
chairman of the Executive Committee for ten years. During this time, he was also Chief
Physican of th eWake County Tuberculosis Sanitorium for ten years until he closed the
facility due to the advent of new drugs for the control of tuberculosis. Due to wife's illness,
he retired from practice January 1, 1978.NOTES OF INTEREST: While a resident at
Grasslands, conducted an experiment under sponsorship of Rackefeller Institute in the
treatment of Cerebral Syphilis with malaria caused by the bite of a carrier mosquito. The
experiment was conducted on 20 patients and seemed to have a favorable effect on all,
but not curative. The introduction of the malaria germ was by the bite of the carrier mosquito,
which caused a fever of 106 to 107 degrees each day. The fever of the patient would be
reduced on alternate days with quinine. Also while at Grasslands, experimented with the
treatment of all ypes of pneumonia with horse serum. The patients' blood was anlyzed to
determine the t;ype of pneumonia, and the appropriate horse serum administered. This
method proved to be effective in the treatment of all types of pneumonia except Tye III.
One of the most interesting cases in practice was a tubercular patient who developed
meningitis, which was assumed to be tubercular. However, studies proved that it was
caused, not by the tubercular germ, but by th lymphocytic meningitis virus. There were two
other cases which followed further proving that the lymphocytic meningitis virus was carried
by infected mice. While at Dorothea Dix State Hospital, was offered a position by the
Superintendent, Dr. Ashby, as a physician, joining the oother four physicians on the staff.
Offer was srefused in order to seek further training. Upon finishing residency, was offered a
position as Medical Director of the Home Life Insurance Co. of Boston in New York. Offer
refused as he chose to return to North Carolina to practice internal medicine. Upon finishing
residency, was also offered position as associate professor at French University in Beirut,
Lebanon, with tongue in cheek, felt that this was ver appropriate since he had flunked French
II his first semester at Carolina, which the Dean mde him take on five different occasions and
which he proceeded to flunk five times. However, after his first year of medical school at Wake
Forest, one of the conditions under which Dr. Kitchin let him in was that he take French; for
two sessions of summer school he tookFrench and, would you believe it, made a "B", but still
could not speak a word of French. Looking back he said that he made the right decision to
return to North Carolina and follow a most gratifying career as a physician in the prive practice
of internal medicine with his first wife "Peg" and later with his associates. PROFESSION,
SOCIAL, FRATERNAL AND CHURCH MEMBERSHIPS: Fellow of the American College of
Physicians, elected in 1942 as president of Wake County Medical Society and president of
Raleigh Academy of Medicine; member of North Carolina Medical Society; American Meical
Asso. Internal Medicine Society of the United States; Royster Medical Society (Charter Member);
Carolina Country Club; Sphinx Club; Milburnie Fishing Club, Raleigh Rotary Club, and First
Presbyterian Church of Raleigh. He was very active in establishing serveral scholarship funds for
needy high school senior student towards college education.

I should have, but I remember her as a boy. She started out with Uncle Leonard and
helped him through thick and thin and by all I know was a loving and devoted wife. I
did not have an opportunity to attend her funeral for I was sick myself in San Antonio,
but we did have some conversations when I called and they were always pleasant.
She was also devoted to Uncle Leonard and maintained a good home and helped

Pattie's funeral was on Jan 4, 1995
I only knew Pattie, Uncle Leonard's second wife, for a very
short period, but to know Pattie was to love her. I truly thihnk that it was meant for
she and Uncle Leonard to be together. No one can question the devotion and love
that they had for each other. I knew her before she lost her voice and I did my best
to help and comfort them both but to no avail when she did lose her voice. I took my
wife, Barbara, to N.C. to visit and they became good friends through little notes that
Pattie would write to Barbara. Barbara said those notes said a lot more than was
written..words that contained love and friendship that only women could understand.
Speaking about notes..I noticed that Pattie had some bruises on her neck after
she had a fall in the tub and I asked her what happened..before Uncle Leonard
could answer for her she raised her hand for hinm not to speak..and she wrote this
on her pad and handed it to me.."He tried to strangle me". It was a note that was
a high-light of the evenings conversation even though a word was not spoken.
My son, David, had an opportunity to meet Pattie in the nursing
home and it was a sad occasion at the time for I did not know exactly how to prepare
David. He handled the situation real well and gave her a hug like he had known her all
his life. I know that she understood and recognized me for you could see it in her eyes.
There are a lot of people that enter your life...Pattie was one
that no one will ever forget.

nursing
Tom and Helen Umphlet
Thomas Umphlet, known affectionately by friends and
colleagues as "Dr. Tom," was so well-loved by the nurses who worked with him,
they gather every Nov. 6 to celebrate his birthday -- a tradition they still continue
even after his death two years ago.
Umphlet returned his nurses' admiration ten-fold every
day of his 40 years in practice.
"Tom had such respect for the nursing profession, he
felt he could take a good nurse and practically raise the dead," said his widow
Helen Umphlet.
Helen and Tom Umphlet were married only 18 months
before he died in December 1997, but in that short time she came to share his
love of nursing.
To honor her husband and share with others his lifelong
devotion, she created an endowed professorship in UNC-CH's School of Nursing.
Although neither she nor her husband had previously given to the school, Umphlet
was so impressed with a tour she took of Carolina and its medical facilities, she
decided its nursing school would be the perfect place for her gift.
The $500,000 Helen W. and Thomas L. Umphlet
Distinguished Professorship will bring an outstanding faculty member to the
school -- one of its most urgent needs. Umphlet's gift of $333,000 will be
supplemented with $167,000 in state funds from the Distinguished Professors
Endowment Trust Fund.
"We are grateful to Helen for this heartfelt memorial to
Dr. Tom Umphlet," said Linda Cronenwett, dean of the School of Nursing. "Helen
recognized the School of Nursing's tremendous need to recruit world-class
faculty during the next five to seven years when a large group of our faculty
will retire."
"I wanted to do something to remember my husband
which would have a direct and immediate benefit," said Umphlet. "I believe the
professorship will help the school competitively bid around the nation for new
faculty. I also was very impressed with the state matching program -- it was
a definite incentive to make the gift."
Helen met Tom in March 1996 when he moved into
Glenaire, a Cary retirement community where she had lived for several years.
"We had a whirlwind courtship and were married that
June -- less then three months after we met. We just fell deeply in love. He was
a wonderful, kind man and lots of fun," she said.
Dr. Thomas Umphlet was well known in Raleigh as
chief of medical services at Rex Hospitals and a doctor of internal medicine.
Three months before his death, he was named the Rex Classic Distinguished
Physician of Merit for his 10 years of leadership at the hospital and his support
of medical education at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He
retired in 1978 but remained active in North Carolina's medical community until
the day he died. He attended Carolina in the early 1930s for two years before
transferring to Wake Forest College.
Helen Umphlet grew up in Vance County and moved to
Raleigh in the early 1940s. She received a degree in business and worked with
the attorney general's office and the state supreme court before retiring in 1976.
Her first two husbands passed away after lengthy illnesses.
"I grew to have a deep admiration for the nursing profession
after spending a lot of time in sick rooms with my first two husbands and then learning
from Tom's experiences with nurses," said Umphlet. "Good nurses make all the
difference."

Research: The following information is from a Life Review
Project of Lindsay Brantley, dated November 2005
As I walked into Glenaire for the first time I expected my
oral history partner to be frail, hard of hearing, and unable to have a coherent
conversation. I quickly realized how mistaken I had been because I discovered a
self-sufficient, intelligent and happy woman whose name was Helen Umphlet. The
following is a detailed story of the winding road of triumphs and challenges that
Mrs. Umphlet has experienced throughout her life.
Helen Watkins-Bagwell-Horner-Umphlet was born Helen
Watkins to her father, Clifton and her mother, Bertha on May 7, 1926. Helen
originates from Vance Countly, N.C. She has one older brother and one younger
sister by eleven years. Helen adored her older brother, and as a tomboy she eagerly
joined his adventures--climbing trees, and other boyish activities. Helen lived her
childhood during the Great Depression not knowing that her family was poor. Her
father supported the family through farming tobacco. At eight years old, Helen began
to help on the farm by completing her daily chores. She milked the cows at morning
and at night, collected stove wood, and cared for the other animals on the farm. Helen
claimed, "We raised everything we ate," and there was no need to go to town unless
it was Saturday.
Fun during the Great Depression had its limits, but
Helen and her brother enjoyed their childhood. "We would go to Henderson almost
every Saturday to watch a five cen5 movie." As they sat in the balcony of the movie
theater, classic westerns would keep them busy for hours. Like most children,
Helen and her brother enjoyed candy, but because money was tight, they would
take the extra eggs laid by their hens and use them to trade for some of their
favorite candies.
Though Helen had a pleasant childhood, it was not
without strict discipline from her father. Being a pious man, her father corrected
her by means of spanking and scolding. Helen was forbidden from dating throughout
adolescence and she willing adhered to her father's wishes. "It was never
unpleasant because I was devoted to my academics." Fortunately, her father let
her attend prom with a young boy named Sam, who passed notes to her and later
went off to war.
Faith was strong in the Watkins family as they all
attended New Bethel Baptist Church in rural Vance County. Helen's family was
so devoted that they walked to church because her family was unable to affort
tires for their "Hoover-car." Helen, being an avid and fast reader, was able to
read the entire Bible by age twelve. Even to this day she is still very proud of
this accomplishment.
Being an intelligent young woman, Helen graduated as
the salutatorian of her senior class and hungered for more education. Helen claims
her favorite memory was when her father asked her if she would like to continue her
education by attending business school in Raleigh. Hardbarger Business College
led Helen to her first hisband, Irvin Bagwell.
Irvin Bagwell was a young man who was on temporary
leave from the U.S. Navy when he first met Helen. Irvin's mother owned the boarding
house that Helen lived at while attending business school in Raleigh. While there,
she paid his mother five dollars a week for rent and food. Helen first saw him when
he was napping on his mother's bed in his uniform. "He was so handsome in his
uniform I couldn't help myself." Helen claimed. Once Irvin returned home permanently
after the war, he went into business for electonic repair. Planning all along to save
for his marriage to Helen, he finally earned enough for a small wedding on April 3,
1949.
After the wedding, the newlyweds wished to save
their money in order to purchase a home and decided to wait to have children.
Helen was employed at the state revenue department while Irvin continued to
run his business in electronic repair. Their plans changed in late 1950 when Irvin
became ill and was diagnosed to have a tubercular kidney. Transferred to the
V.A. Hospital in New York, Irvin was then discovered to a a tuberular uretha.
Unfortunately Irvin was disabled for four years and Helen was the sole breadwinner.
He contributed by preparing meals for her and having supper ready when she
returned hhome after a hard day's work. Sadly, illness contined to plague Irvin
when he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1968. Doctors completed surgery
to remove the tumor but told him it would reappear in his liver. The doctors were
correct and Helen nursed her weak husband for thirteen months until he died in
1970. Because of her jusband's unfortunate health problems, Helen was never
able to have children but she remains an active aunt even to this day.
After Irvin's death, Helen continued work in the
court system where she met a wonderful man named Judge Horner. Mr Horner
was a Chief Justice in the N.C. Supreme Court. Helen and he spent much time
together and fell in love. Married in 1976 they moved to the mountains because
"Judge", as Helen affectionately called him, always lived at the beach. Living
together for four wonderful years and while Helen was a tender fifty years old,
Judge Horner developed a heart condition and they were forced to return to Cary.
"Judge Horner had a wonderful sense of humor about it," Helen claimed about his
heart condition. He served as an emergency judge those last fourteen and a half
years until he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. Becoming a nurse
once again, Helen cared for her husband until his death in December of 1990.
Glenaire became Helen's home when it was first
established in 1993 and she moved into an independent cottage. Helen's
outgoing personality and love for people in general led to her meeting everyone
at the establishment. After the death of her second husband she vowed she
would never marry again, "It was just too hard after the Judge died." All this
changed once she met Dr. Thomas Umphlet. Dr. Umphlet was immediately
attracted to Helen and he asked her on many dates; which she always refused.
He would persistently meet her at every meal and would always ask her if she
would see him. After multiple "obnoxious and sweet" discussions, Helen finally
gave in to Dr. Umphlet. "It was a whirlwind romance and we were married in
three months in 1996," Helen said warmly. The Umphlets lived happily in an
independent cottage at Glenaire for some time before Dr. Umphlet was diagnosed
with cancer of the spine. Thomas Umphlet passed away in 1997, and to honor
his memory Helen made a generous donation to the UNC School of Nursing.
In 1999 Helen Umphlet established the
Distinguished Professorship in Aging at the UNC School of Nursing to
honor her late hisband, "Dr Tom's l;ove for his nurses. Helen donated
half a million dollars to this professorship to attract prestigious professors
from all over the country. Helen claimed Dr. Umphlet loved the nurses so
much for all they had done to care for others during his long career with
them. Afterwards, Helen was given an official nursing licensure certificate
in thanks for her contribution.
While married to her second husband, Helen
noticed some odd things happening to her body and scheduled a doctor's
appointment in September 1987. It was in this visit that she was informed
that she had Parkinson's disease. Eighteen years and two operations later,
Mrs. Umphlet remains active and follows the research actively. She reads
books and the internet praying daily that a cure will be found. In the meantime,
she visits a Duke neurologist every three months and has contributed to the
foundation many times " I have left instructions for my remains to be sent
to Duke, so it will be a very hectic day once I die." The most difficult part of
Parkinson's is that there is no treatment ; they an only treat the symptoms.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Umphlett began treatment so early with L-dopa and
Pseudomed that these medications are almost ineffective to her immune
system. Helen said, "If I could do anything over again, I would wait to take
the medication because they are no longer useful and I can no longer live
alone because of it." However, Helen has not lost hope but understands
that t "death is a part of living."
Mrs.Umphlet has had many trials and
tribulations in her life; many tragedies, and much heartbreak, but all
of these circumstances has made her who she is today. She has
overcome hardship and contributed to so many lives for the better.
From her, one may learn patience, understanding and love. Mrs.
Umphlet has not only experienced love in the form of her three wonderful
husbands, but she also receives it from her community, friends and family.
Through all of her heartbreak over the deaths of her three husbands Helen
maintains that marriage must be "strongly based on a love that never dies."
Most of all, Mrs. Umphlet has learned that tomorrow is never promised and
she strives to live everyday to its full extent; in hope, peace and joy.

message:
Twiford Funeral Home, Attn Funeral Director, ManteoN.C,
I, William David Umphlett, give permission for my Uncle, Dr.Thomas L.
Umphlett, to sign permission for cremation of my Father , William
Moulton Umphlett....signed by me.
The above relates to me giving permission to Uncle Leonard to have
my father cremated. This is not something that I would have preferred
to do but Daddy Jimmie had always said that he wanted to be cremated.
He said something like this, " I want to beat the Devil to it". I do hope
the Dear Lord gave him an opportunity to mend his ways and kept him
with Him. I did bury him above the same grave site as my mother in
Elmwood Cemetary in Henderson, N.C. I figured they started out together
so they should end up the same way.
WILLIAM MOULTON UMPHLETT/MOULTON TO HIS FAMILY/"BUD"
OR "BROTHER" TO HIS BROTHER/ "JIMMIE" TO HIS FRIENDS/
DADDY JIMMIE TO ME.
The same reason for calling my father "Daddy Jimmie" is the same as for
calling my mother, "Mother Dot". When we lived with my maternal
grandparents my "Daddy Newman" was still alive and use to answer when
I called for Daddy.
Now, you would have to have known my father to understand that he was a
different kind of man than any you have ever known or will meet. I am not
saying that he was any better or worse than anyone's father,,,I am just
saying that he was different. I was told that when he was in high school he
wrote a love letter to the teacher rather than taking his regular test like the
others. (It never was confirmed that he passed or failed his French class.)
When he was nineteen years old he ran away with the Barnum and Bailey
Circus and was the driver for Mr. North, the owner of the circus. He told me
he had other jobs in the circus, as a barker, setting up the tents, and any
other things that needed to be done.
I never knew of anything that my father could not do if he put his mind
to it. He was in air conditioning and refrigeration for nearly fifty years
and when he was working with York Co. in Norfork, Va. after my mother
died he came up with an idea of making a compressor work that had
been failing from the manufacturer. He took the compressor apart and
showed the engineer/manufacturer where the problem was and how to fix
it. He received some type of recognition by the York Co. He taught me a
lot of things, hunting, fishing, playing poker, swimming, driving, how to be
a gentleman, how to be a wheeler-dealer, and how to B.S., how to help
others, and how to be a man with love and compassion, and etc. Daddy
Jimmie could turn on the charm enough to melt the paint off a wall or he
could be someone that you would want on your side at a show down. One
time we were at the State Fair in Raleigh and went under a tent to have a
spaghetti dinner. The tent was pretty full of people and we sat down beside
a table with two drunk men and one drunk woman. The woman proceeded
to put their dirty dishes on our table for some reason and my mother
proceeded to return them to her table. The woman made some remark about
"Someone should smack that woman in the face". Well, one of the men at
her table said, "O.K. Honey, I'll do it". Unfortunately for him we had just
received our plate of spaghetti and Daddy Jimmie let him have it as he was
rising out of his chair to confront my mother. Daddy Jimmie also took care
of the other man too and the woman was taken off by the police. Daddy was
a small man in statue, but he was very capable of taking care of himself
when the need arose.
I only saw my father cry twice..once when mother died and when his
business was set afire in Middleburg where all our possessions were
stored upstairs while our new house was being built. (We were building
a house out at Bear Pond at the time and living with my grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Newman).
I never knew of anyone that my father could not befriend. He had a natural
goodness about him that was very evident and he would always be your
friend unconditionally.
He like his brother was a "man"......just different.

DOROTHY ROSE NEWMAN UMPHLETT (MY MOTHER)
BORN 9/12/15, DIED 5/11/51, KNOWN AS DOROTHY TO
HER PARENTS, "SISTER" TO HER SISTER (VASHTI),
"DOT" TO HER FRIENDS AND HUSBAND. "MOTHER DOT"
TO ME.She was known to me as "Mother Dot" because when we lived
with my Grandmother Newman and I used to call for mother both of them
would answer, so I broke it down to Mother Dot and Mother Newman so
that they would know who I was speaking to or about.
Mother Dot only lived to be thirty-six years old for she had some medical
problems that started at a very young age.When she was in the eleventh
grade of high school she had rheumatic fever and it affected the mitral valve
of her heart and she continued to have heart problems all of her short life.
(I was seventeen at the time of her death).
What can any man say about his mother and the influence that she had
on my life and others that she came in contact? I could say a lot, but I
would never finish. I know that she had a tremendous amount of good
friends and I know of no one that could say any disparaging remark about
her. I know of no time that I ever heard her utter a detrimental remark about
anyone.
She was an "Angel" on earth and I have no doubt that she has the same
status where she is now. She was truly loved by everyone that knew her.
She was a good mother to me and I will always love her. (Some day I might
be able to write about her if I can find enough paper, time, and can rely on
my many memories).
(Just thought of some more remarks, 13 Nov 04) One time she climbed a
ladder and took out twelve squirrels out of a tree hollow and we put them in
a cage and eventually traded them for two skunks, without stink sacks, with
a man at a circus. We had the skunks for over a year, one died, and we took
the other out to the woods and let him go. Another time Daddy bought her a
bicycle even though she had a hard time pedaling and we tied a rope to her
bicycle from mine and his and pulled her between the two of us.
She was also very good with her hands and could knit and crochet just
about anything. She made baby blankets and booties, bed spreads, and
even taught me how to knit. I made a scarf and sent it to someone in the
service and it was received by a man in the navy that sent a note of thanks
to my mother. (I do not know what happened to the note but that was
during WWII).

WILLIAM DAVID UMPHLETT
I must tell any reader of this document that I did not gather all of the
information that it contains. The part relating to the paternal side was
given to me by way of my Uncle (Dr. Thomas Leonard Umphlet), my
father's brother. The information was obtained by his first wife, Margaret
or better known as "Peg". The history of the Walters family was given
to me by Mary Griffin Douglas, one of the daughters of the author, Belle
Walters Griffin. (sister of my paternal grandmother). The other letters,
notes, documents, and etc. were items that I have kept over the years
and they may not mean much to anyone except me, but they do express
some of the thoughts that people had that help formulate my life during
the time that they were alive. The words that they expressed to me
during my younger days did not stop having an affect upon their death.
My intent in this preface is to let the reader know that I plan to insert my
feelings about the individuals that I fondly remember and try to express
what impressions they made on my life.
I sincerely hope that my thoughts will not distract from the main
documentation of this collection of Genealogy of the
UMPHLETT FAMILIES.
I do not have any answer as to why I waited for fifty-nine years to even
think about gathering all of this information and trying to bring it to some
place in time while trying to bring the past and future together. Even
though I have a daughter (Valarie Rose Umphlett Lewis) and a son
(David Shane Umphlett) to understand what the Umphlett name means,
they must understand how, what, when, and how their lives were shaped
by individuals of the past. David is presently single and he knows that he
is the one to carry on the Umphlett name. Both Valarie Rose and David
Shane have the responsibility to know of their heritage and how proud
they can be to say "I am an Umphlett".
(I will put in more personal notes later)
7 August 99--Well, here I sit at the computer trying to collect my
thoughts on where do I begin and wonder if there is an end. I wonder
why, at age sixty-five, is there any purpose in making any remarks
about the past? Why didn't I start at a time when the individuals that
I knew were still alive? Did I accept things as a child thinking that things
will continue on forever? Apparently, I did, or I would have started a lot
earlier. I may ramble my way through this, but I hope that it will make
sense to someone besides me.
