Log cabin (modern replica), North Carolina, 1790s

William Deal, a blacksmith, and Eve Decker seemed never to have owned land in North Carolina, Tennessee, or Indiana.

Thus they were not likely to have lived in so grand a dwelling as this birthplace (1795) of future President James K. Polk.

Roy E. Thomas (left) and his salesman partner were in Atlantic city to demonstrate the use of Proctor & Gamble shortening at a school for bakers.

Roy Elmer Thomas said he attended public school through the sixth grade. Even so, he learned to read very well and was an avid reader of newspapers and magazines, especially news and opinion regarding public affairs.

In 1934 during the "Great Depression," Roy Elmer Thomas demonstrated his ability to speak publicly about the use of shortening and other ingredients in neighborhood bakeries before a dozen men in a conference room at Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati OH.

Only after he was hired did he learn that these strangers were not fellow bakers, but were managers and vice presidents meeting for an entirely different purpose, possibly for a discussion of marketing Ivory soap! This practical test, an extemporaneous performance by a man with only a sixth grade education, convinced Procter & Gamble to hire Roy Elmer Thomas to teach classes in metropolitan areas, from Kansas City to New York, in the use of P & G's shortening products, known to the homemaker as "Crisco." He also helped "trouble shoot" problems of quality control in the production of bread, pastries, and cakes by large commercial bakeries and experimented in the company's lab in Cincinnati OH with various combinations of ingredients.

Roy Elmer Thomas and John Philip Sousa

Roy Elmer Thomas to Roy Richard Thomas, May 12, 1974:

[In December 1918,] "I met [John Philip] Sousa. . . . I was appointed Drum Major of the Main Great Lakes Naval Station Band thru Sousa and a Lt. Painter, who was the Bandmaster under Sousa. . . . Sousa wanted me to go to New York with his band. He would provide a teacher for any instrument I wanted. I was fooling around with the tuba and tenor sax. I had met Iva F. Deal just after I enlisted and, when a guy is in love, its hard to stay away. That's what would happen if I went to New York, so I said 'No!'" and returned to the baker's trade.

Sousa dedicated this march, published in 1920, to the American Legion, which had been chartered 16 Sep 1919 by Congress. The Legion on 11 Nov 1919 chose Indianapolis, IN for its national headquarters. After she married Roy Elmer Thomas, Iva Florence Deal worked several years as a secretary (Gregg shorthand) and her father, Charles Deal, as a night watchman at the Legion's headquarters in downtown Indianapolis.

Roy Elmer Thomas left Proctor & Gamble in 1939 to work for a former customer in Detroit MI, where he purchased in 1940 the "Redford Home Bakery," which he renamed in 1946: "Thomas Cake Shop."

After a few years, he moved the Thomas Cake Shop from Redford, Detroit MI to a suburb, Livonia MI and renamed the business, Thomas Wedding Cakes. Both names appeared on the exterior of the building, as well as his slogan, "Park 'n Peek" at the display of wedding cakes in the windows.

There were two owners after Roy Elmer Thomas retired in the 1970s. Four years after the last owner closed the business, there was still an internet link to the old phone number, subsequently assigned to the hedquarters of the Model-A Ford Club of America. The Club continued to receive calls from people who wished to order one of Roy Elmer's locally famous wedding cakes.

Plastics!
Plastics!

About 1947, some twenty years before Dustin Hoffman's movie character heard that word in the film, "The Graduate," Roy Elmer Thomas was experimenting with the use of clear plastics for the fabrication of wedding cake stands. The ideal stand would be elegant, would support many layers of fragile cake, would allow each layer to be removed individually, would enable the server effortlesly to lift the cake off the stand for serving, and would be easy to disassemble and to return to the bakery for redemption of the deposit.

His ideas were translated into this design, patented, manufactured, and sold by Plasticles Corporation in Detroit MI. This particular cake, one of his largest, was baked and decorated by Roy Elmer Thomas.

Brace Beemer, "The Lone Ranger," cuts a cake decorated by Roy Elmer Thomas

A frequent customer of the Thomas Cake Shop in Redford was "Brace Beemer (1903-1965), an American radio actor and announcer at radio station WXYZ, Detroit, Michigan."

Beemer played the role on radio from 1941 to 1954 of the "Lone Ranger." When the "Lone Ranger," at six feet three inches tall inches and in his authorative and recognizable voice, bought a pie or cake, everyone turned his way!

In this photo, Beemer, with the cast and crew of the radio program, which was always broadcast live, was cutting a cake that he bought at Thomas Cake Shop. The cake was mounted on the plastic stand invented and patented by Roy Elmer Thomas. On top, Roy had placed a plastic statue of "The Lone Ranger" mounted on his "great horse, Silver."

Thomas Cake Shop was opened by Roy Elmer Thomas after World War II on Grand River Avenue near Lasher Road, Detroit, Wayne, MI, about a block northwest of Redford Home Bakery, which a year later he sold to an employee and later closed.

The equipment and display cases were all new, the latest available. A feature of the sales area was the glassed portion on the right side, behind which employees decorated cakes in full view of customers.

Until the new gas-fired, rotating oven was installed at Thomas Cake Shop, all baking was done in the old stationary coal/gas oven at Redford Home Bakery. Roy Elmer Thomas mounted a cabinet on a trailer and transported baked goods from the old shop to the new.

Roy Richard Thomas recalled that his father, Roy Elmer Thomas, would occasionally drive downtown to the Ayres Department Store. While mother was shopping, father and son would drive to the railroad switching yard, park, and watch the freight cars and steam locomotives. At the appointed time, they would return to Ayres, where mother would be waiting at the curb.

This is an ambrotype, a photo on glass popular in the 1850s. It was among the family photographs of Dorothy Penrose Woodland. In looking over the family records, the most likely subjects for the time period are Phoebe Davis four of her older children. The photograph matte says Eadie, address on Argyle St. Glasgow.

Country Music Marathon, Nashville TN, April 2008
Country Music Marathon, Nashville TN, April 2008
Medals with red & blue guitars are for 26 mile race; medals with white guitar are for 13.1 mile race.

Jennie wrote this account for her column in the "Chattanooga Times" newspaper:

"Diary of a First Time Marathoner

April 24
We leave for Nashville tomorrow. My bag is packed and sitting at the end of the bed. I’ve selected two separate running outfits, along with a small choice of a sports bras and socks, eliminating the problem of not being happy with race day gear. It’s not as simple as a pair of shorts and an old college t-shirt. Instead, there are many things to consider, such as comfort, breathability, chafing concerns, and overall performance. Nothing can ruin a good marathon like shorts that ride up, a t-shirt that pulls at the neckline or a pair of ankle socks that creeps farther down the heel with each step.

My stomach is in knots as I sit here in disbelief. I’ve always associated marathons with ultra-skinny people who eat, live and breathe the running world. And then there’s me. Average old me. I’m a mom who bakes cookies regularly and thoroughly enjoys eating them, often before they make it to the cookie sheet to bake. I watch too much television and when there’s nothing on I bury my face in a book or chat on the phone. I exercise everyday but it’s nothing fancy. Surely I am not a marathoner.

Yet, I am. At least, I’m going to be as of Saturday afternoon. I have no time goal, no chip time I’m trying to achieve. I just want to finish and wear a new medal around my neck for it.

April 25
The time chip is attached to my shoe, my running clothes are folded neatly beside the hotel bed and the alarm clock is set for 4:30 a.m. I’m running a marathon tomorrow and the forecast calls for rain. My stomach will not settle so I doubt I’ll sleep. If I were to fall asleep right now, I’d get a full five hours, but something tells me that’s not going to happen. I’ll be lucky if I doze for 20 minutes.

April 26
It was a drizzly mess outside when we woke so we took a cab to the start line to keep our feet as dry as possible. It was even harder to keep our previously positive attitudes. No one slept well the night before, no one was calm and no one wanted to run in the rain.

There was a record 30,000 people signed up for the race, and based on the long lines at the Port-a-Potties, I’d say that statistic is true. My sister and her husband drove in from Chicago to run the half while my husband and I did the full. With only 20 minutes before the starting gun is shot, we huddled together under garbage bags from the hotel, doing whatever it takes to stay dry. The butterflies in my stomach were as active as ever, so I said a quiet prayer.

The rain cleared by the time my corral moved up to the start line. It was time. I flipped on my iPod and U2 started singing to me. The announcer counted down from five, and as he raised his hand to signal our start, I closed my eyes and say, “Just finish. Run, walk or crawl. Just finish.”

I literally coasted through the first 11 miles. There was never an urge to stop, not even on the hills. The crowd was alive and pushing me onward. I saw Chuck at mile four and my sister Becky at mile seven. Jeff, my brother-in-law, passed me at mile eight. I’m encouraged by them, excited for them, and happy to experience my first marathon with some of the people I love the most.

When I passed the 13.1 mile marker, signifying the halfway point, I checked my phone to see how long I’d been running -- a little less than two and half hours. Suddenly, I was overcome with the burden of running that distance a second time. My legs were sore, the crowd had thinned, and the road felt harder than usual. I began to fantasize about a very hot shower and a foot rub.

It was at this point that I passed the local convent, identified by the crew of nuns cheering us on from the curb and the “holy water” table next to them. Pondering the life of a nun carried me well into mile 15.

By mile 17, I needed to walk, namely because the hill was too steep to run and I had a nagging pain in the backside of my left knee that I’d never felt before now.

By mile 20, I was hurting. The pain in my knee had spread to my right hip. Nothing like running a marathon to make you feel old and out of shape! I talked myself into doing run/walk intervals, which led to more walking than running by mile 23.

By mile 24, I was back to running and choking back tears. After running from one end of the city to the other and looping back around, I could see the Nashville skyline again and my eyes watered. I knew that I was going to finish my first marathon with all limbs attached. The finish line was within my reach and someone was standing there with a medal just for me.

I don’t even remember mile 25 because by the time I saw the 26th marker my family was standing on the curb yelling my name. Having all crossed the finish line before me, they were clapping and taking pictures and sticking their hands out for a high five. I lost all composure and bawled. Tears of joy streaked my face as I turned the last corner. There was the finish line. My legs were numb as I sprinted to it.

Now we’re driving home and there’s a heavy medal around my neck. I stink, covered in sweat and muck, and I dread the soreness I’ll feel tomorrow. I suspect a few blisters will arise mid-week and it’ll take a few days to walk normally, but none of that matters. I have a new medal.

And I feel good."
