Opal Noveal Haney was born 9 Feb 1917 in Rowan County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of William M. Haney 1886-1929 and Eugenia E. Hargis 1894-1975. Opal Noveal Haney married Harold Clayton Crosthwaite 1914-1987. School teachers by trade, her and her husband founded the Harold and Noveal Crosthwaite Scholarship fund at Morehead University. To be eligibility, recipients needed to be full-time undergraduate students majoring in the industrial arts with preference given to students from East Kentucky. Recipients must have had a GPA of at least 3.0. The award was $1000. I am not aware if the scholarship fund is still in existence. Noveal and Harold lived most of their lives in Tennessee.
