  • Jane Jayroe-Gamble She Overcame Her Fears and Shyness to Win Miss America 1967, Launching Her Career in Media and Government
    Jane Jayroe-Gamble She overcame her fears and shyness to win Miss America 1967, launching her career in media and government Chapter 01 – 0:52 Introduction Announcer: As millions of television viewers watch Jane Jayroe crowned Miss America in 1967, and as Bert Parks serenaded her, no one would have thought she was actually a very shy and reluctant winner. Nor would they know that the tears, which flowed, were more of fright than joy. She was nineteen when her whole life was changed in an instant. Jane went on to become a well-known broadcaster, author, and public official. She worked as an anchor in TV news in Oklahoma City and Dallas, Fort Worth. Oklahoma governor, Frank Keating, appointed her to serve as his Secretary of Tourism. But her story along the way was filled with ups and downs. Listen to Jane Jayroe talk about her struggle with shyness, depression, and a failed marriage. And how she overcame it all to lead a happy and successful life, on this oral history website, VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 8:30 Grandparents John Erling: My name is John Erling. Today’s date is April 3, 2014. Jane, will you state your full name, your date of birth, and your present age. Jane Jayroe: Jane Anne Jayroe-Gamble. Birthday is October 30, 1946. And I have a hard time remembering my age. JE: Why is that? JJ: I don’t know. I have to call my son, he’s better with numbers. I think I’m sixty-seven. JE: Peggy Helmerich, you know from Tulsa? JJ: I know who she is.

  • Itteringham Churchyard Survey Names Aug06
    ST MARY’S ITTERINGHAM CHURCHYARD SURVEY The survey of gravestones inside Itteringham Church and in the Churchyard covers all the legible grave markers and in many cases has involved lengthy scrutiny of older stones to make out the text. Where there are gaps in what is decipherable, they are noted. We think it unlikely anyone would glean more information from looking at the stones themselves. Please see our selection of photos of the churchyard and selected stones. For some stones we have added information from the parish registers, most of which are lodged with the Norfolk Record Office. Clearly there are many more burials than there are surviving gravestones. For ease of surveying we divided the stones into 9 sections, which are used in the numbering system below. Please see the plan for details, but the 9 sections are as follows: • Inside the church • A – the south-east corner of the churchyard • B – the south-west corner • C – the central west section • D – the north-west corner • E – the central north section • F – the north-east corner • G – the central east section • H – the south-east section adjacent to the church St Mary’s Itteringham - Gravestones Inside The Church There are 4 flat stones set in the church floor; 2 in the nave and 2 in the chancel. Ch 001 Black granite flat stone in the middle of the aisle of the nave. 200cm * 99cm. Armorial shield-like decoration at the top, with 2 lions rampant. Inscription: Here lieth the body of Ann the wife of Samuel ROBBINS Who departed this life April 16 th 1748 Aged 41 years Also of the abovesaid Samuel ROBBINS Who died March ye 7 th 1764 Aged 55 years Ch 002 Badly worn sandstone flat stone in the aisle of the nave near the pulpit.

  • Elmwood Cemetery: a Walking Tour of Burlington's History
    Elmwood Cemetery: A Walking Tour of Burlington's History A Historic Guidebook by University of Vermont Students 2008 i INTRODUCTION Scott A. McLaughlin The Elmwood Cemetery is one of the oldest community cemeteries in Burlington, Vermont. In its landscape and monuments, the cemetery captures the community's earliest history. Few, however, visit the cemetery and little is known about most of those buried in the cemetery. Some prominent and recognizable names appear on some of the headstones and monuments but most have never ventured into the cemetery because of its locked gates. One of the functions of this booklet is to expose people to what lies on the other side of the cemetery's iron fence. These locked gates are a result of vandalism and misuse of the cemetery by some members of the public. The authors encourage visitors to take the time, request the gates be open for them, and walk through Burlington’s history as they tour Elmwood Cemetery. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This booklet was completed as a semester long project by sixteen University of Vermont students, including Daniel Basta, Heather Bell, Mark Bowman, Samuel Cummings, Nina Gross, Justin Guerra, Caitlin Kirchman- Galligan, Tanner Lake, and Nathan Loschiavo. Heather Bell and the course instructor Scott A. McLaughlin edited the booklet. Completion of the project was made possible with the assistance of Jim Meunier of the Elmwood Meunier Funeral Home and the staff at Burlington's Cemetery Division, UVM Bailey/Howe Library Special Collections, UVM Archives, Burlington's Fletcher Free Library, and the Burlington City Clerk's Office. The project also greatly benefited by the extraordinary volunteers who created an illustrated database of many of those buried in Elmwood Cemetery (see www.findagrave.com).

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche. All of these sites comprise an invaluable resource for learning about Oklahoma’s remarkable and diverse The Clovis people lived Native American heritage. in Oklahoma at the Given the distribution and ages of studies sites, Okla- homa was widely inhabited during prehistory.
