An Attractive Marriage Public Ledger, January 5, 1899

Mt. Tabor church was the scene of a beautiful marriage on Wednesday, December 21st, 1898, at 6:30 o'clock p.m. The Church was brightly lighted.

Miss Anna STEM, of Stem, accompanied by Mr. Willie GOOCH, of Stem, marched up the aisle and as Miss Anna played the march the ushers, Messrs. Weldon BULLOCK and Elvin JONES, of Stem, Sammie MANGUM and Edgar VEASEY, of Hampton, followed by the waiters, Miss Lizzie MANGUM, of Hampton, with Eugene UMSTEAD, of Knap of Reeds; Miss Texanna GOOCH, with Eddie MOIZE, both of Stem; Miss Coza JONES with Tommie GOOCH, both of Stem; Miss Marie HATCHER, of Selma, with Davie HALL, oflngleside; Miss Annie PARRISH, of Umbra, with Mr. Lyndover COZART, of Hampton. Then came the beautiful bride, Miss Lida COZART, with Miss Maggie HALL as maid of honor, and were met at the alter by the groom, Mr. J. S. BISHOP, with Mr. Marvin BISHOP as best man, and there they were united as one, Rev. M. A ADAMS, of Lyon, officiating.

After the marriage was over the bride and groom accompanied by most of the waiters went to Mr. and Mrs. Will ALLEN's, near Stem, where they spent a few hours of enjoyment.

We hope that they may be crowned with happiness through their future lives and be very successful and all their "darkest clouds have silver linings".

Reunion of the Descendants of Spencer R. O'Brian Oxford Public Ledger, September 8, 1925

By: Judge A . W Graham

Situated in a beautiful grove of magnificent white oaks, a short distance west of the public highway from Stem to Berea, is the homestead of the later Spencer A. O'BRIAN, which in the partition of his estate was allotted to his daughter, Mrs. Julia Gertrude PARROTT, the wife of E.W. PARROTT. There Mr. and Mrs. PARROTT live with nine of their children, two of the older sons having chosen their life partners and set up establishments of their own.

A happy thought occurred to some members of the O'BRIAN clan, that it would be well to have a reunion at the old home of the O'BRIAN'S, descendants of Spencer R. O'BRIAN, the grand old soldier and Christian gentleman, so invitations were sent to all and with few exceptions were accepted, all welcoming the opportunity to meet again under the old roof tree where they were reared, under the noble Christian influence of Mr. O'BRIAN and his consecrated wife.

Mr. O'BRIAN was a remarkable man in his day, wounded at Malvern Hill, Chancellorsville, Winchester and leaving a leg on the battlefield of Cedar Run, he was taken to a northern prison and at the close of the war, he was paroled and came home, as most of our boys did, without a dollar in the world. By his industry and integrity he made a comfortable living with the aid of his devoted wife, and raised a large family of children and at the time of his death his estate was estimated to be worth nearly $20,000. He attended all the wood-choppings and barn-raisings in the community and it was said of him that, not withstanding the handicap of having but one leg, no man could carry up the comer of a tobacco barn and fit the logs more rapidly and neatly than Spencer O'BRIAN. He was an active and devoted member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and a man of strict integrity.

It is no wonder, then, that the sterling qualities of father and mother were instilled into that large assembly of children, grandchildren and great, grandchildren, who assembled at the old homestead on Sunday, the 30th day of August, 1925, to live over again the good old days when they were young, and to hear the reminiscences of the older heads of how things were done in the days of long ago.

In addition to the descendants of Mr. and Mrs. O'BRIAN, we were fortunate enough in having Miss Nannie CURRIN, 78 years old; Mr. Richard H. CURRIN, 76 years old; Mr. Amos CURRIN, 70 years old; and Mrs. Amos CURRIN, sisters and brothers of Mrs. O'BRIAN, who could give the younger generations much information about how things were done before and during the war.

A most beautiful picnic dinner was spread on long tables under the beautiful oaks in the yard and the way in which it disappeared was proof positive that Spencer O'BRIAN did not leave a race of dyspeptics behind him. In fact the temptation to-over-indulgence was never greater. A more delicious, abundant repast was never served, and it was a beautiful tribute to the excellent housewives who furnished it.

The writer has, in his time, attended many such happy occasions, but he has never seen a happier, more joyous, more wholesome set of young people in all his wanderings, and he could

79 GCGC 1746 Inc., 2000

not help thinking how fortunate the young man would be who could induce any one of those glad-hearted beautiful girls to share her life with him.

In addition to the various members of the family and other relatives, numbering more than 75, there were more than 32 friends and neighbors invited to share the festivities of the occasion, and how much they appreciated it was shown by the lateness of the hour when the party broke up and wended their ways to their several homes.

A list of all the descendants of Mr. and Mrs. O'BRIAN was taken, those who were present and those who were absent, from unavoidable causes, or who had passed away. It was found that there were of his children and their wives present 11, and 2 absent, and 3 had preceded him to the grave. Of his grandchildren, 11 were present, 3 were unavoidably detained, 3 being in Canada, and 8 had gone to meet him on ''that beautiful shore". Of his great-grandchildren, 9 were present, making a total of the descendants and their wives and husbands of77. Of his own children, one and his wife were absent and two had died in infancy.

Descendants of Spencer R. O'BRIAN and Mary Frances Currin O'BRIAN, his wife, present at the reunion, at the old homestead, Sunday August 30th, 1925:

Cornelia CRITCHER and Robert T. CRITCHER, her husband. Annie, 31 years old, Louis DANIEL, her husband, son of J. Robt. DANIEL. James DANIEL, 10 years old. Samuel DANIEL, 9 years old. U Cornelia Hannah DANIEL. Samuel CRITCHER, died at 12 years of age. Gertrude CRITCHER, died at 3 years of age. Robert Henry CRITCHER, 27 years old, now in Canada, not married. William Spencer CRITCHER, 25 years old, lives with parents, not married. Myrtle, 23 years old, and her husband Crawford WILLIFORD, son ofL. T. WILLIF.ORD. Frances, 22 years old and her husband, Maynard DANIEL, son of C. W. DANIEL.

* ** * ******** * *********** * ************************** How to Figure a Birthdate

Remember this number 8870

This is not an error: It is the number to remember when you want to find the birthdate of someone when you only have the date of death and age. How do you figure the birthdate?

Suppose the person died May 6, 1889, at the age of71 years, 7 months, 9 days. 1. Write the year, month, day as : 18890506 2. Subtract the age at death: 710709 3. This gives the figure: 18179797 4. Now subtract 8870: 8870 5. The result is: 18170927 Year 1817, 9th month (Sept), 27th day or 27 Sept. 1817

Try it, it does work. (Source: Platte Co. MO Historical/Genealogical Society)

James Theodore Cheatham Oxford Public Ledger, April 6, 1906

This Good Citizen Passed Away Last Thursday Morning

In contrast to the rule of primogeniture, which prevails in England, it has often been said the land in this country rarely remains in the same family for three generations. A striking exception to this rule is the beautiful CHEA THAM homestead, situated four miles east of Oxford on the waters of Popular Creek, which was settled by James CHEATHAM in the 18th century and has been owned by the family for nearly 150 years. From this house have gone out men and women who have exerted an influence for good in church and state, not only in this state but in far distant states. Of all those none were more worthy than James Theodore CHEA THAM, son of James CHEA THAM, the second, and his wife Rececca CREWS were born the 10th day of August, 1844. Of a bright, sunny disposition, under the teaching of a saintly mother amid the happy surroundings of his ancestral home he grew up to manhood with high ideals and with a full appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of life.

At the age of seventeen he volunteered for the defense of his country in the great civil war, and enlisted in Co. G. 30th Reg. N.C.T. which was considered one of the best regiments in all the gallant land of Southern heroes. Being a splendid shot he was soon assigned to the sharpeshooter corp of the brigade. Firm of purpose, cheerful under privation and hardship he was never known to complain; brave as the bravest he made an ideal soldier. He participated in the battles around Richmond, Sharpesburg, Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, and on the faithful field of Gettysburg, was severely wounded by a piece of shell that had already passed through the body of his Lieut. Colonel. As he could not be moved he was captured by the enemy and taken to Elmira, New York, where so many Southern boys, unable to stand the rigors of a northern climate and the hardship of prison, yielded up their lives.

But his temperate life, cheerful disposition and good constitution brought him up and enabled him to withstand all privations until the war ended. He reached home in June 1865, and found conditions greatly changed since he marched so gaily away in 1862. But nothing daunted he went diligently to work to help build up the waste places, and make a support for the loved ones, and soon became known as one of the best farmers in the county. His intelligent conduct of the farm shows what can be done with Granville County land, and is an incentive to all young men who may wish to make their living by cultivation of the soil.

On the first day of December 1868 he married Miss Elizabeth HAMLIN, of Petersburg, Va., and their lives certainly furnished a complete refutation of the latter day slander that marriage was a failure. No more shining exemplification of the beauties of a christian home can be found that what furnished by the lives of Mr. CHEA THAM and his devoted wife. Hospitable, kind and generous, a warm welcome was extended to friend and stranger alike and all who came within the benign influence of that happy home could see and feel that their lives were guided by some fixed purpose, and that their vision was not circumscribed by earthly things.

In their children they were peculiarly blessed, never having had a case of serious sickness in the family, and all ten of them living today useful citizens of the State and members of the church.

81 GCGC 1746 Inc., 2000

Virginus and Charles Hamlin, both excellent farmers; Clifton B., a remarkably successful dealer r) in tobacco in Louisburg; James Theodore CHEATHAM, Jr., is equally successful in the \. , growing market of Apex; and Sarah, wife of Percy PARHAM; Rebecca, wife of Samuel F. FEREBEE, merchant and farmer of Pamlico county; Miss Mary L. CHEA THAM, of Norfolk; Miss Olivia B. CHEA THAM, of Clyde, and Missie G. and Tazzie being with their mother at the old homestead.

Mr. CHEATHAM never aspired to political honors, but he was well informed on all matters of public interest, and had positive convictions upon the issues. He believed it the duty of all good citizens to take an active interest in politics, and could always be found at his township and county conventions advocating men and measures that he believed would conduce to temperance and good government.

About Christmas, 1906, he was taken sick, and soon realized that his days were numbered. He lingered for many weeks and give an exhibition of patience and christian fortitude we have never seen surpassed. Though at times suffering severely, he never gave to repining, but bore up bravely, and was always tender and considerate towards his devoted wife and children who did all that human love and affection could suggest for his comfort, praying a divine father to spare him to them a little while longer. Death had no terrors for him. Early in life he had made his peace with God and when about 16 years of age he joined the Methodist church at Hermon, where he was for many years a steward, and about 20 years ago he moved his membership to the Oxford church, of which he was soon after elected a steward and remained so up to the time of his death.

With than same quiet nerve with which he had faced the King of Terrors on the battlefield he calmly awaited his approach and at 8:45 o'clock on Thursday morning, March 29, 1906, with his loved ones around him he "fell on sleep", assured of"the rest that remaineth for the people of God".

On the afternoon of the 30th the funeral services were held at the home by Rev. F. M. SHAMBERGER, his beloved pastor, amid a large assemblage of relatives and friends, and his body was laid to rest at the side of his father and at the feet of his grandfather in the family burial ground.

The honorary pallbearers were Prof F. P. HOBGOOD, A W. GRAHAM, M. H. HESTER, George W. WRIGHT, W. A PARHAM and James B. BELCHER, and the active pallbearers were: Dr. E. T. WHITE, L. B. TURNER, John H. BULLOCK, R. L. BROWN, W. T. DA VIS, James T. COZART, James A BELCHER and W. Z. MITCHELL.

????????????????????????????????????????

For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but he made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, "Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were () expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"

23rd Psalm for Genealogists

Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray It maketh me to lie down and examine tombstones It leadeth me into still courthouses () It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge It leadeth me in the paths of census records and ships' passenger lists for my surnames' sake Yea, though I walk through the shadows of research libraries and microfilm readers I shall fear no discouragement, for a strong urge is within me The curiosity and motivation, they comforteth me It demandeth preparation of storage space for the acquisition of countless documents It anointest my head with burning midnight oil My family group sheets runneth over Surely, birth, marriage, and death dates shall follow me all the days of my life And I shall dwell in the house of a family history-seeker forever.

A family decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their children and grandchildren. They hired a fine author. Only one problem arose - how to handle that great-uncle George, who was executed in the electric chair.

The author said he could handle the story tactfully. The book appeared. It said "Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, was Q attached to his position by the strongest of ties, and his death came as a great shock." .... .. .... . copied

Epidemics in U.S. - 1657 - 1918 Information obtained from the Internet from the South Bend, IN Area Genealogical Society

April, 1996

Epidemics have always had a great influence on people - and thus influencing, as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be traced to dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed below:

1657 1687 1690 1713 1729 1732-33 1738 1739-40 1747 1759 1760-61 1772 1775 1775-76 1781-82 1783 1788 1793 1793 1793 1793 1794 1796-97 1798 1803 1820-23 1831-32 1832 1837 1841 1847 1847-48 1848-49 1850 1850-51 1852-51 1855 1857-59 1860-61

Thoughts on Genealogy

Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people.

I trace my family history so I will know who to blame.

Can a first cousin, once removed, return?

Searching for lost relatives? Win the lottery!

Do I even WANT ancestors?

Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living.

Every family tree has some sap in it.

Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.

Genealogists never die, they just lose their roots.

Genealogy: A haystack full of needles. It's the threads I need.

Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools .

I think my family tree is a few branches short of full bloom.

Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.

Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related.

Wilton Whisperings Public Ledger, January 5, 1899

The com crop is not as good as was expected.

Mr. H.B. JENKINS, of Nash county, spent a few days with us recently.

The Banks people are glad to have Rev. G. B. PERRY as their preacher another year.

Mr. C. D. MORRIS has recently covered his granery and stables with steel roofing.

Miss Ann Christian LYON, of Creedmoor, visited relatives, and friends around Wilton recently.

Glad to say Leo has recovered from the shock of Nov. 8th and is able to whisper again.

Leo is sorry to state that Miss Elsie LAWRENCE, who has been affiicted so long, does not improve very fast.

Our people want the grape vine telegraph re-established so we can have connection with the outside world.

The many friends of Mrs. L. B. FREEMAN sympathize with her in her sad affiiction. She has been bed ridden for about twelve months.

Our wide awake merchant and miller, J. W. HARRIS, is contemplating moving to Norfolk, Va., to carry on a larger business and a syndicate is being formed to rent or purchase his outfit at Wilton.

Messrs. R. W. HARRIS and J. W. FLOYD are cutting our shucks, pea vines, etc., with a steam cutter. Dr. J. A. and Mr. C. D. MORRIS had a large quantity of food cut. It occupied the large No. 16 Ohio cutter all of one day.

We are in the middle of hog killing. Mrs. A. MORRIS, two, 426, 376; C. D. MORRIS, two, 365, 340; E.G. MORRIS, seven averaging 200; J. W. FLOYD, five averaging 216; W. P. LYON, six at eleven months old averaging 177, etc., etc.

A few Saturdays ago while Mr. A. P. OVERTON, clerk for Mr. T. L. CANNADY, was out a negro boy entered the window of the store and captured about $25. He was chased by Mr. Taz BLACKLEY and threw part of the money in the comer of a fence and took to the woods. Seventeen dollars of the money was recovered.

Christmas has come and gone and the little folk enjoyed a visit from Santa Claus who came laden with nice things. Seeing them caper and enjoy the toys, etc., that Santa brought carried us back to long years ago when we did just as our little ones do now. Let them enjoy the present for soon, ah! soon, they will be cumbered with the cares of life. A happy new year to the editor and correspondents.

Leo

Census Taker

It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air.

The woman was tired, with lines on her face; And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table; And she answered his questions .. . the best she was able. He asked of her children ... Yes, she had quite a few; The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two.

She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride; And she.felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age ... The marks from the quill soon filled up the page.

At the number of children, she nodded her head; And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot"; Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon .. . or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear; But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here.

They spoke of employment, of schooling and such; They could read some and write some .. though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done; So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear; "May God bless you all for another ten years."

Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me; As we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow; As we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day; That the entries they made would affect us this way?

If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel; And the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart; Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart

The Way to a Happy New Year

To leave the old with a burst of song; To recall the right and forgive the wrong;

To forget the things that bind you fast To the vain regrets of the year that's past; To have the strength to let go your hold

Of the not worth while of the days grown old; To dare go forth with a purpose true,

To the unknown task of the year that new; To help your brother along the road,

To do his work and lift his load; To add your gift to the world's good cheer, Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.
