December 8., 1947 NAME: John Winston Orebaugh ADDRESS:27 Creek St., Harrisonburg, 37 AGE: OFFENSE PRIOR RECORD Va. MARITALSTATUS: Married NO. OF DEPENDEN'IS: Four RACE: White SEX: .CITIZENSHIP: Am.erican OFFENSE: Drunk Driving & Manslaughter Male On Saturday, May 31, 1947, at about 8:26 in the evening a car allegedly operated by the above named subject struck Noah Dellinger, forty-seven year old resident of Timberville, as he was crossing the street in the middle of the five hundred block on North Main Street in Harrisonburg. At the time he was struck Dellinger was said to be about six feet from the west sidewalk. The investigating officer stated that Dellinger's body was carried on the car for approximately ninety feet from the point he was hit and that after the body came off of the car the car traveled approximately thirty feet beyond. Judging from a photograph viewed by the reporting officer the car was pretty badly battered after the accident. Two Fi.arrisonburg officers arrived at the scene shortly thereafter and it is said that at the time of their arrival Orebaugh was staggering drunk while his companion in the car, Wilson Whitmore, was practically beyond the point of locomotion. It is understood that Whitmore is Orebaugh 1 s brother-in-la'V'T and that the two had been on quite a drinking party prior to the accident. Orebaugh I s version of the offense differs on several points. He stated to the officer that in the first place he was not driving the car but that Whi unore was under the wheel at the time of the collision and that he, Orebaugh, was standing trial in his place. He stated further that the man he was alleged to have hit stepped out from between two parked cars and that immediately after the collision the parked cars pulled out and left. 'Ihis statement was followed by Orebaugh 1 s remark that as nearly as he can dete . ine there were no eye witnesses to the accident. The officer also noted that while it is the subject's claim that he was not driving, in describing his progress along the street he talked as though he were the driver of the vehicle that was involved in the accident. He is probably in a very confused state as to what actually occurred. The speed of the car at the time of t.h.e collision was placed by Orebaugh at about 25 or 30 miles per hour. - The subject's prior 7-22-35 12-24-34 7-21-34 Malicious Destruction of Property Larceny of three turkeys Driving Drunk Escaped from Harrisonburg Street Force Fined $25 Costs ~17.97 Two months in jail Fined $100 Costs $12.50 Returned to jail Drunk Fined $2.50 Costs $6.50 Fined $10 Costs $6.S.o 8-5-34 9-6-36 8-21-37 6-25-38 record consists of the following: Dr1.1nk Charged with attempting to shoot T.

Norvelle proceeded to the subject's home and found that be had fled. Also, he was slated for appearance in court on the current charge and on the day he was to appear he was too drunk to get there. The officer who was sent to get h:iln s ta. ted that he was seated behind his kitchen stove and that when he was informed t.1-).a t he had been summoned to appear in court he made a very obscene remark and refused to make any attempt to go. Orebaugh was drinking at the time the reporting officer interviewed him and he frankly admitted being a heavy drinker since he was about twenty years of age. FAMILYHISTORY The family Father, consists of the folloring: Oscar Orebaugh * John Winston Orebaugh Wife, Lucy V. Orebaugh Son, Oscar David Orebaugh Daughter, Juanita Orebaugh Son, Richard Orebaugh age age age age age age 71 37 36 20 17 14 Broadway, 27 Creek 27 Creek 27 Creek 27 Creek 27 Creek Virginia St., Harrisonburg St., Harrisonburg st., Harrisonburg st., Harrisonburg St., Harrisonburg Va. Va. Va. Va. Va. It is understood that the subject's father, Oscar Orebaugh, is a retired railroad inspector and has never been in any serious trouble and drinks moderately. The subject's wife is not believed to have been in any major trouble and she is employed in the pants factory in Harrisonburg. The subject's daughter, Juanita., works at the Harrisonburg Shirt Factory and is said to be expecting an illegitimate child in the near future. This family originally came from Broadway but has lived in Harrisonburg approximately ten years. Most of the relatives and family connections are still in the Broadway vicinity and the father owns a small piece of property there. HCl!E& NEIGHBORHOOD The house is a large frame house covered with stucco and appears to be in a fair state of repairs. It is a double house divided into two apartments. It has been occupied by the Orebaugh family for the past five years. The neighborhood is a rather poor one and the property is surrounded by industry and business establishments. The house faces on a small creek which runs through the town. It was observed that the subject talked very roughly in front of his family and set a bad exa~ple through continued drunkenness in the home. ��3 EDUCATION The subject states that he finished the fifth grade in Broadway. School. He did not like school and it is fairly well apparent he did not progress as rapidly as he could or should. He left school at about fifteen and got married the following year when only sixteen years of age. He has had some subsequent training as a pants presser and in laying brick and cinder blocks. RELIGION The subject INTERESTS & ACTIVITIES states that he is not a church member and has no interest in church. Orebaugh expresses himself interested in movies and reading comic books. He claims he is a member of the V. F. w. Post in Harrisonburg but frankly admits that one of his pleasures is having a few drinks. He expressed to t..h.e officer a great interest in playing the horses. HEALTH Orebaugh claims tha. t he was operated on for kidney stones while in the Army in 1943 and that he broke a foot while in Honolulu in 1942. He feels that there is a possibility that he may be having more trouble with kidney stones at this time. Other than this his health is all right. His family's health is good with the exception of Mrs. Orebaugh. She recently spent thirty-two days in the hospital and has to return. EMPLOYMENT Orebaugh's first employment was in laboring jobs around Broadway. In 1938 he went to work in the pants factory in Harrisonburg and stayed there until 1942. According to a photos-tat of his army service record he enlisted October 21., 1942, and was discharged September 22, 1945. His service record is honorable and nothing could be noted on the discharge section that indicated Orebaugh ran into difficulty while in the service. Since his release Orebaugh states that he has worked for Dr. Paul Hill; Mr. Whitney, Mr. Brantley, Mr. M.A. Layman and Mr. Jess Cash; mainly laying brick and cinder blocks. At the time of the interview the subject claimed that he had not worked for about two weeks and by way of excuse stated he was worried over his pending trial and over the previously mentioned condition of his daughter. He has apparently be~n drinking very heavily for some tj__yue. RESOURCES Orebaugh states that $5000 life insurance SUMW.RY The subject was allegedly the driver of a car which struck and killed Noah Dellinger Saturday, May 31, 1947. It appears that Orebaugh was considerably under the influence of alcoholic beverages at the time of the accident. The reporting officer found an extensive prior record on the subject dating back to 1934. The Orebaugh family is originally from Broadway but for the past ten years they have lived in Harrisonburg in a good house located in a ratrer poor neighborhood. The subject's formal education was neglected and he expre ses no interest in religion. His interests consist of reading comic books, movies, and drinking. His health at this time appears to be satisfactory although he his resources at this time consist almost entirely of a policy and personal property valued at about $1.800. ��4 expresses fear of kidney stones. The subject's employment has consisted mainly of jobs that he could pick up and has been very irregular. He has no money saved and no bonds but claims he has a $5000 Life Insurance Police and about'$1800 in personal property. PLA.N The reporting officer makes no recommendation. treatment for acute alcoholics would be a first It is probable that a course of step in rehabilitation. Respectfully yours, ·~.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.
