Bruce Wigglesworth was born at home in Akron, Ohio on November 21, 1928.
Lawanda Compton was born at St. Thomas Hospital in Akron, Ohio on February 19,
1932.
OK NOW HERE's THE ACTUAL SCRIPT.
Part 1:
Bruce Wigglesworth was born at home in Akron, Ohio on November 21, 1928.
Lawanda Compton was born at St. Thomas Hospital in Akron, Ohio on February 19,
1932.
Both mothers were quite ill (near death), Bruce's mom with Uremic poisoning and
Lawanda's with pneumonia. Bruce was laid aside but thanks to Aunt Emma who put him
in front of the oven door to warm him, he survived as well as his mother.
Bruce graduated from Massillon High School in 1944, attended Rio Grande College close
to Gallipolis, Ohio, worked at Cleveland Worsted Mills, Mansfield Pottery, Dwight
Austin Products, Narcissi Construction and the Steele Mill before coming to Virginia to
the American Viscose Plant and eventually to full-time farming.
As children both Bruce and Lawanda attended Copley Grade School although not at the
same time. Bruce attended 13 grade schools, one high school and one college.
Lawanda attended Arlington St. Baptist Church, sang in the choir and was also a
counselor for the youth group. Bruce started coming to church the weekends he was
home from Perrysville, which is when Lawanda first saw his smile! When he joined the
choir she applauded the longest. Bruce soon became her escort at the youth outings. The
first outing was a skating party, the one and only time Bruce ever skated.
At first, Lawanda's parents thought Bruce was just one of the teenagers from church and
Charlie would climb into his lap and stay there the whole time he was at the house. Soon
Bruce asked her to go steady—she said no. Three weeks later they were engaged. His
mother and sister helped him select the ring. They were married Easter Sunday April 18,
1954 at Newman Baptist Church, where Bruce's father, Reverend Wallace Wigglesworth
had once pastored.
Part 2:
Bruce’s dad Wallace was originally from Virginia and stated that “was the best farmland
anywhere.” Bruce & Lawanda moved to Virginia in the fall of 1955 after having gone all
the way to Missouri looking for a farm. They stayed first with Aunt Ruby and Uncle
Pickney until they found a rental home in Spotsylvania, Virginia. They opened their first
checking account at Farmers and Merchants Bank. The first job Bruce got was working
on Snowden Farm for Mr. Robert Gordon, a Deacon of Goshen Baptist Church where
they attended. Later, uncle Julian helped him get a job at the American Viscose Plant.
They spent the winter there where they had their first experience with a tin heater. They
cut wood with a two handled cross cut saw, and kept the heater in a playpen away from
small hands. Shortly thereafter, they moved to a lovely two story white house called the
Peters Place. The house Lawanda had dreamed of repeatedly, after they moved there she
never had the dream again.
Goshen Baptist Church became a home and family to them, filling the place in their
hearts that their family and friends back in Ohio had once filled. They became good
friends with Jim and Mary Gardner who helped them locate a farm. They could not
afford to buy the 298 acres with the timber on it but negotiated to have the Gardner
Family remove the timber within two years. Farmers and Merchants Bank gave them the
needed loan to complete the transaction. Back in Ohio the house that Lawanda had
owned on Rockcliff drive behind her parents, finally sold and the income helped them
make the payments on the farm. They moved to the farm in September, 1956.
Their first freezer came from Uncle Theron in exchange for a small upright freezer,
which we had gotten in trade for their 1951 Plymouth which Lawanda had gotten from
her father in exchange for a 1951 Chevrolet. The only mode of transportation they had
after that was a truck. The freezer is still working! The same cannot be said for the cars.
Over the years, they began improving the farm house with various projects and started to
farm, their first purchase being three Hereford cows. Since Bruce worked night shift at
the plant, supper was always late.
January 9, 1962 they were working, laying some maple flooring given to them by Robert
Nugent, Bruce was to leave for work at 10:00pm—supper of ham and lima beans was on
the stove—Rebekah already in bed, he asked Charlie to check if the hog water was
freezing. He came back in and said, “Mama, I think the house is on fire.”
Lawanda ran to get Rebekah and put all the children in the truck and moved it away from
the house. The snow was deep and people parked along the road to watch, causing the
fire trucks to be delayed. The firemen helped the best they could, but other than the big
freezer, a refrigerator, a sofa, a chair and a mattress, all was gone. A neighbor boy (John
Warren) crawled through a window in a closed off room behind the firemen, ran his hand
along a mantle and brought out that 400 day clock. This was the same clock that Bruce
had given to Lawanda the Christmas before they were married. Lawanda had dropped
the box & broke it, but amazingly, Bruce had been able to fix it. Over the years the clock
has moved with them from place to place. It still runs and is very precious to them. They
stayed at Earl Gardner's tenant house that he had used for grain storage. Six weeks later a
knock on the door and brought news that both barns were burning—that was harder to
take than losing the house-- all the hay was lost. They finally found all the cattle that had
bolted out of the barn.
Immediately the church family rallied around them, and in March a basement was dug on
Sunday afternoon as the church gathered around. So many helped, Lorraine Jett, Lewis
Mitchell, Bucky Hall, Jim Gardner, Earl Gardner, Mr. Conyers, Red Faulkner, Walter
Massey, Tommy Monroe, Henry Stafford and Lewis Haney, just to name a few!
Bruce worked shift work, and just could not sleep during the day. Keeping five children
quiet during the day proved impossible and Lawanda went to work at Sears and Bruce
took a voluntary layoff at the plant. Lawanda moved on to the telephone company until
Bruce was called back to the plant. The opportunity came to join the Postal Service
which she did and Bruce went to full-time farming leaving the plant for good. Doing
what he always wanted to do was seventh heaven. The children all helped and learned
early the value of hard work and a job well done.
Of course not everything went smoothly , many things happened—serious at the time,
which they laugh about now.
To name a few of those happenings:
Charlie running behind the plow that dug up yellow jackets.
Susan falling off the silage wagon.
The silage wagon coming loose from the tractor and running in the ditch throwing mom
into a tree.
The hay catching on fire while Susan was driving the tractor down the road waving back
at those who waved wildly.
Joan driving the tractor to Stafford’s, turning in the drive and being broad-sided by a car.
The dog biting David while mowing Lila's field.
The hay-wagon coming loose from the tractor with all the girls on top falling with the
hay.
Bruce stacking hay, the wagon turning over and seeing him walk calmly down the side.
David running the bulldozer backward down the bank.
Charlie driving the pulpwood truck and it catching fire.
Becky driving the truck loaded with wood and picking up Mike, leaving his neighbors'
mouth hanging open.
Joan on the roof helping lay shingles when Shane showed up.
All the girls putting up hay could outdo their boyfriends.
Bruce on the trail bike herding the cattle, they really moved at that!!
The kids getting lost in the woods trying to find the cattle, the cows got home long before
they did.
Ending:
The family has walked many miles together through many different circumstances. Love
and dedication have kept them close.
Bruce and Lawanda, your family is grateful for you and your dedication to them and each
other. Thank you for being the incredible people you are.
