Trial

Attorneys - Mr. Hammer
Mr. Charles Earman, Jr.

charging that Mr. Hinkle has not supported this child since 1946.

Mr. Kenneth Taylor, stepfather of Barbara Ann, in whose behalf this petition was
filed, appears to have encouraged his wife to take action in the matter becausej
.:' ~.., the child has been in his own homes in·c e the summer of 1953~re
has been
no money received for her support,and what clothing the child has worn has been
furnished by him. When the paternal family furnished her clothing, they would
not let her br±ng it home with her, unless it was well worn. It has been difficult
taking care of his present family obligations because of frequent lay-offs from
work, and his wife has recently gone to work to pay current legal fees involved
in this case.

Mr. Taylor feels that 50.00 per month for support of this child would be adequate
to allow her mother to stay home and take care of her as well as the Taylor home.
Mrs. Taylor has the appearance of a teen-aged girl. She claims that Mr. Hinkle's
parents and he have constantly interfered
with Barbara Ann and keep her constantly
upset. She wishes the court to instruct the Hinkles to leave the child strictly
alcne. She also requests sufficient
money to cover the child's monthly medical
and other needs, approximately $89.00. She does not recognize that the father has
any parental rights.
I

Mr. I-IiKes

Statement
&amp; R3ati.on:

Mr. Hinkle was very cooperative and showed considerable interest in the welfare
of his child, and although he is i.mwilling to contribute to the financial
support of his daughter in her present situation,
he claims that he has furnished
90 per cent of her clothing in the past, and he took partial care of her while
she was staying in her paternal grandparents• home. This continued until the
summer of 1953. He is distrustful
of the way Mrs. Taylor would use whatever cash
be would give for benefit of the child, but inferred that he would be willing to
accept reasonable arrangements that whatever funds were paid would be used for
benefit of the child.

Previous
Problems:

The Hinkle family obtained a divorce in 1946.

Family
History:

The Hinkles were married on 5-6-44 and had one child, Barbara Ann, born 12-17-44.
We do not lmow whether this was a forced marriage or not, but it was unsuccessful.
Mrs. Hinkle,being an extremely nervous person, made home life
difficult
for her husband who is said to have run off with another womanto
whomhe is now married and with whomhe says he has a satisfactory
home life
Mrs. Hinkle divorced her husband in 1946, obtaining custody of Barbara Ann.
Since the divorce, Mrs. Taylor married in 1947, or in 1948, and there are
rumors that this marriage is also going to fail although Mr. Taylor insists
that they have an 11average" marriage. Oddly enough, the child was placed with
her paternal grandparents for at least one year during which time the nervousness
which had been earlier observed appeared to disappear to a large extent.
In the summer of 1953, she returned to her mother's home, and her nervousness
has been noticed to increase since then. Both sides of this child's family
insist that the other is trying to poison her mind against them, and we suspect
that she was removed from the grandparents' home in a spirit of spite.
Neighborhood references make conflicting
statements about the Taylor home,
some liking them, some being violently hostile to them. Recommendations
conc~rning the father's home and grandparents seem to be uniformly satisfactory.
References feel that the Taylors are not giving this child proper supervision,
that she is being forced to give in frequently to her half-sister,
Marsha
Taylor,(4)

Religion:

Barbara Ann attends the Grottoes Methodist Sunday School fairly regularly
although the parents are irregular in their attendance.
The child appears to
be accepted in her Sunday School, but she appears ·to constitute'a•1hinor
behavior
problem which is not as outstanding as many other problem children in the same
Sunday School.

Health:

Dr. Tanner has diagnosed Barbara Ann's nervousness as mx&gt;rea (St. Vitas Dance).
He does not feel that the child will die from this disease, but that she requires
a calm household in which to grow up. He says that her P1-B~¥5r'idifficulty
is likewise of a neurotic nature and was pleased when she::OOg~
improve while
living with her grandparents.
References feel that Mrs. Teylor is a dull person
who is quite nervous.

io

Employment: Mr. Taylor is employed at DuPlan earning between $225 and $250 per month. His
...

wife

is employed at Sancar

$25.00 to $30.00 per week.

Corporation

in Harrisonburg,

earning

an estimated

Mr. Hinkle is employed at Merck and Companyas a painter and is well thought of
for this work. He says that he earns approximately $63 per week.
H~ would be wil~ing to. pay for the support of Barbara but would be unwilling to
give money to his ex-m.fe because he claims that she does not know how to use it
properly•
He said that he thought $50 per month would be more than he could pay
for support of this child because of his own home and household.

Home&amp;
Community:

The Taylors live in a small stone house on the Weyers Cave road from Grottoes.
The rooms are small but well furnished, and housekeeping standards appear to
be high.

Education:

Both parents

completed part of high school.

Barbara Annis now in the third grade at Grottoes School and appears to get
along fairly well, but the new teacher was unable to give me definite information aoout her.
Summary:

While there is some basis for the petition,
we feel that the basic reason is
spite. Mr. Hinkle has not supported fully, but probably would contribute if he
could be assured that Barbara would receive the benefit of his money. Ideally,
the child would benefit most if she could be placed in a foster home.

Plan:

We believe that Mr. Hinkle ·could pay $40.00 per month. Mrs. Taylor, now working,
could contribute the 1:alancebecause she is not giving as much care in the home
as she might if she kept house.

Trial: ~

Attorneys:
Mr. Hammer
Mr. ·wharton

ee petition requesting that a previous non-support case be reopened to
consider change of custody of Barbara Ann Hinkle because her father believes
that sre is receiving improper care in her present home.
Wir. Hinkle says that he has been paying the child's mother regularly for
support of the child, but he is convinced that Mrs. Taylor is giving improper
care because she is leaving Barbara Ann in the care of a teen-aged girl while
Mrs. Taylor works; because Barbara Ann has been kept out of school for unnecessary periods of time and without any justification
for doing so; because
the Taylor home is dirty and crowded; because Mrs. Taylor refuses to let Mr.
Hinkle's relatives
visit Barbara
n and have her visit them; and because
Mrs. Taylor is not furnishing proper medical care for Barbara Ann.
Mr. Hinkle desires the court to place Barbara Ann in his custody but indicated
that he might be willing to consider other
placement if the court could not
accept his home, as well as that of Mrs. aylor.
Mr. Hinkle, his wife, and his parents have indicated great concern because
Barbara .Ann I s health has not improved as they think it should, primarily
because Mrs. Taylor has not taken the child to see a doctor nor has she
followed a:ny particular
type of treatment which may have been advised by
her physician.
They-resent strongly Mrs. Taylor's refusal to let 1~s. Hilkle,sr.
~
see the child and that she hastwritten
to Mrs. Hinkle, Sr. requesting her
to make no further effort to talk 8r communicate with Barbara _l\nn.

rs. Taylor's
Statement:

rs. Taylor feels she is giving Barbara Ann satisfactory
care.
Barbara
is sent to school regularly with the exception of a two weeks 1 period during
which time she was suffering from chorea (St.Vitus'
dance). She has been
giving Barbara Ann medicine for her nerves, and she has improved. Upon more
than one occasion, Barbara .Ann has been disturbed by visits of Mrs. Hinkle, Sr.,
her paternal grandmother, so that it seemed wise to request that Mrs. Hinkle,Sr.
refrain from making these visits anymore. While admitting that her housekeeping is not of the best quality,
she believes that Barbara Ann's personal
requirements are fully met, that she is dressed properly, in clean clothing,
and that she has proper food and other material necessities.
She is willing
for the child to see her father at any time, and recently allowed her to spend
a week end in his home•

�- .2 Mrs. Taylor persists
in her feeling that Mr. Hinkle ~as given up any r~ghts
which he may have had for his daughter by his desertmg her and the child
several years ago and because he has not made any direct effort to contribute
to Barbara's needs since Mr. Hinkle's remarriage. Mrs. Taylor believes Mr.
Hinkle, s mother, Mrs. Frank Hinkle, Sr., is primarily responsible for the
present action before the court because of her own needs to "possess" the
child.
She also feels that Mr. Hinkle is angry because he has to pay a
support order and that removing Barbara to his own home would injure Mrw.
Taylor and relieve him of some financial
strain.
Housekeeping:

The Taylor home is crowded with furniture
and with the family which is really
too large for the two small bedrooms. Barbara nn occupies one, and Mr. and
Mrs. Taylor with their own child, Marsha, occupy the other one. The house
appears to be clean but is not very well arranged; and at the time of my visit,
had a large amount of clothing scattered around several of the rooms. This
was in addition to the toys,bnoks, etc., belonging to Barbara Ann.
During one visit, Mrs. Taylor had a teen-aged girl taking care of the house,
and at my last visit,an
adult Negro womanwas in charge. ~e believe that
Marsha's welfare would be better served by placing her in the same room with
Barbara Ann. The family should have more space which we understand is planned
for in a new house which they are expecting to build.
The F. T. Hinkle home is newer in its construction
and equipment, than that of
the Taylors'.
The furniture
is exceptionally
well kept, the floors are
attractive,
and the whole house is very desirable;
but there is only one bedroom. Mr. Hinkle has indicated hew ill build another bedroom if the child
can be placed with him. 0th r expenses no12._.withstanding, we wonder why the
Hinkles have not already made this provision if they felt so strongly that
they should have Barbara Ann to live with them.

School:

Barbara Ann has been absent 25 of a possible 157 days in the school year.
Fourteen of these ays were in March, during which time she was reported to
have been suffering from an attack of yellow jaundice and chorea(?).
'Ihe school reports that Barbara Ann gets along well with the children,
somewhat nervous, and retarded in her classes.

Medical:

is

We do not believe that Barbara Ann has received any consistent medical attention during the past three months. This would include formal consultation
with a physician as well as prescribed treatment and drugs administered in
either the physician's
office or in the home. Some years ago, while living
in the home of Mrs. Frank T. Hinkle, Sr., Barbara Ann received regular
medical attention,
and her progress was satisfactory.
More recently,
however,
the progress has not been as satisfactory
as could be anticipated.
This
could have resulted from the failure of parent and doctor to reach a harmonirus
agreement as to method of treating
the child. There have been visits made to
a doctor's office, but no satisfactory
diagnosis or treatment has been possible
because the doctor was unable to give a satisfactory
examination to the child.
Failure of medical treatment to be provided should not be construed to mean
that this is the only reason Barbara Ann's health has not attained a satisfactory
level.

Visitation:During
recent years, Mrs. Taylor who had custody of_the ch~ld, all~ed
Barbara Ann to stay with Mrs. Hinkle, Sr. during which period of time the
child went to school was clothed, fed, housed and furnished with medical
attention when neces~ary and sent to school by Mrs. Hinkle. Since this is
an only grandchild, Mrs.Hinkle has become 11possessive 11 in her feelings and
actions for the child. Still later when Barbara nn returned to her mother's
home, Mrs. Hinkle, Sr. took an unusual amount of notice of the child even
visiting
her at the school upon at least one occasion, but Mrs. Taylor made
no serious objection to this activity until after a non-support proceeding
was initiated.
After the order was entered, Mrs. Taylor wrote to Mrs. Hinkle,sr.
requesting her to cease all efforts to talk with Barbara Ann because it disturbed
her unnecessarily.
Mrs. Taylor has not refused to allow Barbara Ann's father
or his present wife to visit the child and has even allowed her to visit Mr.
Hinkle. She has indicated she objects to having the child visit them because
of her increased nervousness on return to her own home and because she objects
to Mrs. Hinkle, Br. taking advantage of Barbara• s visiting her father.
We have suggested that Mrs. Taylor might consider Barbara's living with her
during the school session and living with her father during the s umrner months
and visiting
him during certain holidays, but she was reluctant
to agree to
such an arrangement.

Mr. Hinkle,provided

he received full custody of the child, would be willing
to have Barbara "llisit her mother at reasonable times, including some of the
~bove-mentioned holidays.
e believe he, too, would be reluctant
to consider
a plan such as we have mentioned above.

te believe that the issue of visitation
is a most serious one which will result
in continued nervousness of this child unless some definite
arrangement can
be made for her to live with either or both parents and visit the other under
reasonable conditions.
The
Families:

References and personal observation indicate that the Frank T. Hinkle, Jr.
family is well liked in its community,. They have a good credit rating, are
known to be neighborly and to get along well Viith each other. Mrs. Hinkle is
an active member of the local Episcopal Mission,but Mr. Hinkle does not attend
religious
services.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle appear to be quite nervous and
both have expressed a strong desire tohave Barbara Ann live with them. Mrs.
Hinkle is unable to have a baby of her own and has indicated she plans to
consult a specialist
who may help her. If whatever emotional or physical block
to conception could be removed and rs. Hinkle should bear a child, it is
possible that Barbara Ann's happiness could be jeopardized.
This is speculative,
of course, but our experience in such matters warrants the question.
There are unconfirmed rumors that the Taylors do not have a harmonious marriage
and the Hinkles have suggested that they discriminate
against Barbara Ann in
'
favor of their own child, Marsha.
re cannot confirm or deny this possibility.
1,e have observed both children and their relations
to their parents in a
limited degree which would Je ad us to feel that Barbara loves her mother and
is able to get along reasonably well with her step-father
and •half!-sister.

,,

�- 4we believe that Mrs. Taylor is emotionally immature but that she does love
her child and is willing to give her as much affection and discipliB as she
is capable of furnishing.
We are not convinced that Mrs. Taylor's purported
failures
to furnish all of the medical, clothing and other care and considerations demanded by the Hinkles would be sufficient
justification
to
consider that she is an improper parent.

we fail

to understand why Mrs. Taylor cm.tinues to work away from her home
when she indicated at,the previous trial that she wanted to earn money enough
to meet legal fees,and that if she could receive sufficient
money for care
of Barbara Ann, she would be able to stay at home and take care of the
housekeeping herse:tC
While the Taylor family suffers from some immaturity, they appear to be
living in reasonable harmony nor have there been any positive complaints from
neighbors or references that this family is providing improper care for either
child.
Summary

a

The Taylor family does not provide as satisfactory
housekeeping standard as
possible.
They appear to be emotionally immature, do not furnish the child
with as much medical attention
as may be desired, nor do they send her to
religious
services.
They have a good relationship
among themselves and with
their - child_ and Barbara Ann p, ·-~v'-'~"~· 1 • . This family seems to provide
enough affecticn au. ,naterial care and supervision,
which under more normal
circumstances would be construed to be sufficient
for the needs of a child
al though they could be imoroved. The Taylors seem to feel great hosti1i ty
for the Hinkles,and we feel that this is having a disasterous
effect upon the
emotional future of Barbara Ann. There appears to be no possibility
of the
Taylors agreeing to a compromise which would work suitably.
'Ihe Hinkles have a modern, up-to-date house that is beautifully
kept, but have
insufficient
room to take care of a child.
'lhey undoubtedly would furnish
adequate medical care, send the child to school and to religious
services and
give her sufficient
affection and material care and supervision.
1he activities
of the possessive grandmother would probably be an unhealthy condition which
would not be controlled.
The possibility
of a future child being born to this
family is almost too speculative
to be considered at this point.
Under normal conditions,provided
suitable room could be provided,
this family also could give reasonable care to Barbara Ann.
The Hinkles would be more agreeable
dicated.

we believe

to a compromise than the Taylors have in-

We do not feel that the better material advantages which the Hinkles can now
offer a child would. justify removing Barbara Ann from her present home. We
feel that it would be wise for the court to discuss these matters with Barbara
Ann in private and come to a suitable decision. on the basis of her own feelings
as well as other information gained in court.
We have received a distinct
impression that both families are influenced by a
strong hostility
for the other which is occasioned by a resentment for past
wrongs, real or imagined. We believe that whether the above-mentioned points
are the real issues or not that unless and until these two families can reach
an amicable agreement to allow Barbara Ann to live with one or the other or

Recommendation:

We believe that unless both families can ~ee
to a harmonious plan fer
Barbara Ann to live with both at reasonable times that it would be in her
own best interests
that the court take custody from both parents and
order her to be placed in' a Bearding schcbl, ordering both parents to
contribute to her support and authorizing them to have equal rights in
visitations
and other privileges.

Supplementary Report
Rockingham County Department o~ ~ublic Welfare
Re:

Susan Hinkle Taylor, Non-Support
November 12, 1953

Mr. Hinkle states that he and his parents.together
have cared for Barbara
Ann for at least one-half of the time since the separation of Mr. Hinkle
from his wife in 1946. He persists in his desire not to furnish any money
for the child's care. We suggest, therefore,
that he could pay the money to
a third party, such as a lawyer or a mutual acquaintance OR he could arrange
to establish
credit with certain stores, physicians,
etc.
We feel that this child's welfare would be best served by removing her from
the home of any relative
and placing her in a foster home under conditions
which would be more beneficial
to the child which would guarantee reasonable
visits by both parents under the usual conditions imposed by the court.
The Welfare Department does not feel that this case is of a nature to justify
further service in the matter of support but that the welfare of the child
seems to have been ignored unnecessarily.

                  <text>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.&#13;
&#13;
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.&#13;

                  <text>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.&#13;
&#13;
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.&#13;
