Earl's Heritage - his mother's kin
My Grandmother was Easter Robbins Morefield.
My Grandfather was Charles Edward Morefield, Stone Mason.
My Grandfather did not go by his birth certificate name.
The actual birth certificate states Charles Chapman Morefield since
the doctor accidentally wrote "Chapman" as the doctor's given
name was Charles Chapman. Dr. Chapman made a mistake in his
haste; my grandfather chose to use Edward, despite the error.
In addition to being the best Stone Mason in the area, miles around,
Charles was an amazing choir director for the local church in Bristol, VA.
Musically talented, with a voice that permeated the country church and
a simple director's style, Charles contributed to a beautiful blend of voices
that blessed the congregation and glorified the Lord each Sunday or a
community celebration. There was no church piano available in those days.
