      "Dad was born in August, 1902. He was the son of Robert Peal and Emma Hudson Gillispie and brother to Murl Bradford Gillispie.
      He lived most of his life in Alum Creek, WV until he moved to Clarksburg, WV a few months prior to his death.
      He was a hard worker and along with his wife owned a grocery store at Brounland for several years before his retirement. Prior to that, he was a carpenter at McClung & Morgan Department Store. Dad built the house I grew up in at Alum Creek. He was an excellent carpenter, a skill developed by several Gillispies in our family.
      Besides gardening (he could make anything grow), he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved dogs and there was always at least one dog when I was growing up. My favorites were the two beagles, Micky and Dicky and the Irish Setter, Red.
      He, along with my Mother also worked at South Charleston Naval Ordnance and Armor Plant during WWII.
      He married Leetha Gertrude Childress in 1925 and they had four daughters and eleven grandchildren.

      Dad would be the last person buried in the family section. The other part of the cemetery may have room for more graves, but the section that was designated for family is full."
