2479. Cyrus ORVILLE Hollingsworth
AUTOBIOGRAPHY WRITTEN IN 1971
The name Orville is after Orville Wright, who had just made his first
airplane flight. (I believe my father adopted his middle name in his later
years].
I was born in 1903 on a farm near Lynn, Indiana, the fourth of six
children born to George and Evie Lewis Hollingsworth. I graduated from
Lynn High School and later took many adult evening courses. Although of
Quaker heritage, my religion never conformed to the conventional. I did
join the Christian Church at the age of seventeen and switched to Methodist
at thirty-seven.
In 1924, I married Maria Thorn, Daughter of Griffith Edgar and Amanda
Hodkins Thorn, of Lynn, Indiana. We Had three children. Thomas Edgar, an
electronic technician, now living in Erlanger KY.; Max Eldon , a
machinist, lives in Richmond, Indiana and Ruth Ellen lives on a farm near
Eaton Ohio.
My first attempt at a career was at farming in 1924. the second year
I was wiped out by a hog cholera epidemic. I moved to Richmond, Indiana and
for two years , tried operating a restaurant at 107 Richmond Ave., with no
success. In 1928 , I went to work at the Fibre Conduit Factory, which shut
down in 1930 because of the great depression. The next three years were
hectic. I worked for Stanley Hayes on his estate, now the Hayes Arboretum
where I set out thousands of trees, built roads, and the huge stone posts
still standing. Also for the Globe Construction Co. building highways and
for farmers for food. I drove a Model T Ford, for which I paid $15.00 and
kept going with parts from the junk yards. In 1933, I got a steady job at
the Beldon Mfg. Co. in Richmond, Indiana.In 1939, out of debt, but with slim capital, I purchased an 80 acre
farm north of Fountain City, Indiana, on Hopewell road next to my fathers
farm. I continued working at Beldon Wire and from then on, financial
success came easier. In 1946, after my two sons returned from World War 11,
I left home, which had never been happy, and went out west. I settled in
the small town of Beatty, Nevada, and made a down payment on the main
restaurant in town, leaving the balance of my assets to my wife that I
left. I got a divorce and was soon married to Phyllis J. Tremps, daughter
of Floyd and Ethel Jackson Tremps of Greensfork, Indiana..
In Beatty, Nevada, I became president of the Beatty Improvement
Association, Trustee of the only Church, Commissioner of the Boy Scouts,
and was instrumental in getting a new church and a new school building .and
also instituting the annual Labor Day Barbecue and Burro races.
In 1941, agreeing with my wife that the advantages would be better
for our two small children, we moved back to Richmond, Indiana, and my old
job at the Beldon, where I stayed until retirement in 1969.
In 1955, I began buying, improving, and selling or renting older
homes as a part-time venture. in 1958, I took an evening course at Earlham
College in Federal Income Taxes and became a part-time tax consultant
working evenings and weekends. Always interested in politics, I was
appointed a precinct committeeman in 1956 by the Republican party and from
then on was elected to succeeding four year terms. In 1963, I was elected
to the Richmond City Council where I did much committee work on the Master
Plan, the new City Building, the Municipal Swimming Pool, and
Redevelopment. Also was a chairperson of several standing committees. I was
forced to retire in 1969 because of cancer of the bladder for which I had
been doctoring for several years. Recent surgery removed one kidney and a
section of bladder so now , I an looking forward to enjoying the rewards of
a useful and active life with my wonderful wife.
It is particularly gratifying to watch all five of my children making
their contribution to society in their own way and according to their
ability. My grandchildren are a great source of pleasure. A lover of
nature, I will become more active in 'Spur' and the Eastern Indiana Gem and
Geological Society.
