Notes

Charles Deal was allowed to drink beer while he tended the vegetable garden, despite wife Ruth's strong objections to alcoholic beverages, because "drinking water while in a hot sun made him sick."

In Indianapolis, Ruth Deal sometimes purchased a live chicken to cook. It was she, not husband Charles, who wrung the neck of the chicken strongly enough so that the head separated from the body, which then dropped to the ground and ran for a minute or so about the yard.

		Brazil, Clay, IN: Brazil Block Coal Co. Shaft No. 1 In the 1896 directory for Clay County, Indiana, Charles Deal (1866-1945) and his brother Noah Deal (1859-1932) were listed as "miners" in Shaft No. 1 in the Brazil, Indiana Directory of 1896. Charles and Noah were listed as "miners" in the U.S. Census of 1880, so both had been working as miners for at least sixteen years.
		American Legion Headquarters, Indianapolis, IN In 1930, Iva Florence Deal was a stenographer and her father, Charles Deal, was a night watchman in the west building. The building faces the memorial, four black granite columns topped by an golden eagle, to those who served in World War I. "The two American Legion buildings in the Sunken Garden define the east and west sides of the plaza at the north end. . . . The organization’s selection of Indianapolis for its national headquarters in 1919, the year the American Legion was formed, was the driving force behind the construction of the World War Memorial Plaza. Walker & Weeks designed the two Neo-Classical Revival American Legion headquarters buildings, placing them lengthwise within a sunken lawn area to emphasize the long axis of the entire plaza. Their plain Doric pilasters and restrained ornament make them subordinate to the main buildings visible from this location, the memorial and the public library. Although both were designed by the architects along with the 1923 master plan, the west building was built in 1925 and the larger east building not until 1950, using the original exterior plans and elevations drawn in 1923."
