RUDD FAMILY HISTORY
By Dlorice Rudd Stanaland

In the late 1800's Benjamin Franklin Rudd (1853-1934) moved into the Flat Creek community and purchased property on what was later known as Hilltop Road. He married Hattie Campbell (1873-1899) of the Goose Creek community. They had two children, William Marvin Rudd (1895-1989) and Alta Mai Rudd (1898-1996). He had a general merchandise store and later farmed. In 1899 Hattie died of typhoid fever and he was left with two small children. Frank then married her cousin Elnora Campbell (d.1934). They had two children, Mary and Frankie Ruth. Mary and Frankie Ruth married and moved to North Carolina.

In World War I Marvin joined the Marines and served in France as a Military Police. When he came home he worked for the telephone company and met and married Hester Bryant (1898-1992) of the Hilltop community. They had two daughters, Gneva Rudd (1892-1996) and Dlorice Rudd Stanaland (1922-2009). Hester and Marvin owned and operated a general merchandise/grocery store in Flat Creek from 1930's until the 1960's. Marvin had a "rolling store" truck making routes to the surrounding areas - Goose Creek, Possum Trot, etc. He carried groceries and merchandise and often traded for eggs and chickens. They bought the Rudd farm after the death of Frank and lived there until Marvin's death in 1989 and Hester's in 1992. Alta Mai married Cecil Bearden of Flat Creek and lived there all of her life. She was postmistress of the Flat Creek post office until it closed during the depression. Cecil was manager and teller of the Flat Creek Bank until its closure during the depression. They had one daughter, Gwendolyn (1924-1983). She was a secretary at Camp Forrest during World War II and later moved to Nashville where she married Ester L. Vinson.

Gneva and Dlorice worked as secretaries at Camp Forrest during World War II. After the war Gneva went to MTSU and later to Oak Ridge where she was a secretary. Later she transferred to VA Hospital Nashville where she worked until her marriage to Ollie Moore (1910-1976). They lived in Nashville where they owned and operated a motel until Ollie retired. They moved to the Rudd farm which was home base for them as they traveled extensively the next few years. They continued to live in Flat Creek until their deaths.

Dlorice went to Bowling Green Business College and later worked as medical secretary at Camp Forrest Hospital until it closed in 1946. Then she went to Atlanta where she was employed as medical secretary at the Atlanta Veterans Hospital until her retirement.
