Hi again, This is my second time here on this site, so I thought I would leave a few words & thoughts. My Father Archie Fairchild was born in Kentucky, his mother is Vina Horner Fairchild, & his Father is John Henry Fairchild. I never met his dad, & I only met his mother once. When my father was about 16 he dropped out of school to go to work to support the family after his father left his mother. He was the oldest at home, he had a younger brother & sister, & also a baby newphew along with his mother. He got a job in a machine shop. Thats how my dad got his trade as a machinest. The person who hired him got tired of being bugged about a job, so he hired my dad. During the war my father was a photographer, he was aboard the Queen Mary at one point. After the war my Father met my mom Joyce Volz, she had an art studio below my dad's photography studio. They were married until death. I miss them so greatly.
I have been researching the Fairchilds for some time & I can never find any info. on John Henry Fairchild or Vina Horner. Maybe one day someone will read this boring story I told & have something about either of them, they could share with me. That would great....
