SEVENTH GENERATION

47. Harvey Street POWERS was born on 3 Mar 1882 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. He died on 25 Sep 1962 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. He was buried in Kenbridge Cemetary. Harvey Street POWERS was a tobacco farmer who also raised beef cattle. He ran the "country store" originally operated by his father under the name "W.H. Powers and Sons," with a mailing address of Kinderwood, Va.
He was a member of the Lunenburg County School Board.
His property holding began with his father's "home place," Oak Shade. He added the farm that was left to his brother John and the property known as the Neblett farm. He was active in Salem Church (Methodist) not far from the Powers farm although the author can not recall his ever attending church. He enjoyed hunting, but there was a grove of oak trees between his home and "John's home" where there was a large family of squirels, which were off limits. His shotgun was handed-down to this author who has given it to his namesake, Harvey Street Powers (RIN#0003). The author also proudly uses Harvey Street Powers' roll-top desk, which was made by an itinerant cabinet maker from trees felled on the Powers farm. Harvey Street Powers died from cancer.

He was married to Addie Maye TERRELL (daughter of Thaddeus Thomas TERRELL and Martha Adelaide (Mattie) BARKER) on 22 Apr 1906 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. Addie Maye TERRELL was born on 27 Oct 1883 in Halifax County, Virginia. She died on 24 Jul 1968 in Leesburg, VA. She was buried in Kenbridge Cemetary. Addie Terrell was raised only about a mile from the Powers family farm. All of us that knew her as a Grandmother, recall Sunday Dinner at "the home place." She was a fine cook. She raised all of her children without ever catching the measles. But when she was in her 60's, she caught them from a woman who helped her in the kitchen. She survived that bout. After the death of her husband, she moved-in with her Daughter Glennis in Round Hill, Virginia, where she lived until her passing. Harvey Street POWERS and Addie Maye TERRELL had the following children:

+76 i. Claude Street POWERS.
+77 ii. William Thomas POWERS.
78 iii. Louise Maye POWERS was born on 7 Oct 1912 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. She died on 1 Dec 1915 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. Louise Maye POWERS died at the age of three. Brothers Jack and Tom say the family believed she died from a "germ" her father brought home from a hospital stay in Richmond. There is a letter in the possession of Harvey Wayne Powers, dated Oct. 26, 1915, from Harvey Street Powers to his wife. He is writing from his hospital bed at Stuart Circle Hospital in Richmond. It confirms that indeed Louise's father was in the hospital just before her death.
+79 iv. Henry Bernice "Jack" POWERS.
+80 v. Glennis POWERS.
