actor's club) in 1951. Pawley moved to Rock Mills, Virginia, in the mid-1950s and lived on the original site of the Rock Mill near the confluence of the Thornton and Rush rivers, fulfilling a dream of living close to nature. In addition to a goat farm, he and his wife maintained an organic vegetable farm and produced pesticide-free vegetables, goat milk and cheese. They ran a grocery store, the "Cash and Totem Store", where they sold some of their own produce and his wife sold her "Virginia Honey Girl" line of fruits preserved in honey. Pawley and his wife were proponents of "back-to-the-earth living with nature" before it became popular. Pawley died on January 27, 1988, of a heart condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia. He and his second wife had no children, but in his will named Jane, Ross, Kathyrn, Juia, Richard and Robin Rottier as his spiritual children. Both he and his wife, who died in 1984, were cremated and their ashes scattered at their favorite spot, "Roaring Rock", alongside the Rush River, which partially flows through their former estate in Rock Mills. A raised bronze plaque at that site is a memorial to their lives and careers in the entertainment medium. Pawley had two younger brothers who were also actors, William M. "Bud" Pawley and J. Anthony Pawley. Both acted in Broadway plays and in films, though neither achieved the success and acclaim of their older brother. Personal life In 1922, Pawley married his high school sweetheart, Martina May Martin, a professional stage actress. They had one child, Martin Herbert Pawley. They divorced, only to remarry and divorce again. In 1937, Pawley married the then-popular Broadway singer, dancer and actress Helen Shipman. They remained married for 47 years until her death on April 13, 1984.
