Although 1m-n and reared in the North. when he cast his lot with the South. he was loyal to the core and one of the most valuable citizens the South ever had. For nearly 50 years he was dea- con and Chorister of the First Baptist Church, his splendid tenor voice was heard in the choir at every service of that Church. He was always promptly in his place, a joy and inspiration to the membership of that Church, and always a personal strength and help to the pastors. He married Elizabeth (Daniel), daughter of James L. and Mathilda (Hantt) Daniel, and reared a large family, which has been outstanding in life. They were: Chauncey, Jr.. who was associated with his father in the John McNab 1)ank as teller, and accountant until his death when in the very zenith of young manhood; Florence marriecl first Ernest Brannon ancl their daugh- ter.

Elizabeth Daniel Rhodes was the twin sister of Mollie Daniel Simpson. and at their double wedding they were so much alike that as they started to walk out on the floor before the minister Mr. Simpson took Elizabeth instead of Mollie whom he was to marry and the mistake created peals of laugh- ter. After they were married they lived side by side and were the l~eautifuland beloved sisters who spent their lives in char- itable work in the community. Elizabeth Rhodes was a Bap- tist and was the very "crown and flower" of the womanhood of that church, while Mollie Simpson was the factor in the Presbyterian Church that her sister was in the Baptist.

Christian women, spending their lives doing good that made them greatly beloved. WILLIAM T. SIMPSON William T. Simpson was born in Sparta, Georgia, comiilg to Barbour County when quite young. He went into the General Merchandise business and was highly successful. In later years he was associated in the warehouse business with his son-in-law, L. Y. Dean, under the firm name of Simpson ant1 Dean. When Capt. Dent came to Eufaula after the War Between the States he was bookkeeper for William T. Simpson and afterwards married his daughter, Carolyne. Mr. Simpson was a Inan of strong character, determined itleas, atld strict to the letter of right and wrong, and was out- standing as a churchman of piety and a citizen of value that made the community better for his having lived in it. Mr. ancl Mrs. Rhodes and Mr. and Mrs. Simyson were looked upon as the examples of the highest and noblest in manhood and womanhood. The Simpson children were : Carolyne married Leonard Yancey Dean; their children were Melanie. married Frank F. Bakewell; Loula, married first John Reese: married second Dr. William P. McDowell; Leonard Yancy, Jr., married first Madye Threatt; married second Jennie Kendall Epps; Ethel married Thomas L. Moore: Evie married Keese: Lula, who married J. E. Fitz- gerald, died two weeks after marriage. Dr. J. L. Simpson married Alice Fitzgerald. William Sirnyson, deceased. Bessie Simpson married Edward K. Cargill. WILLIAM N. REEVES Dr. Willial~lN. Reeves was born in Dallas County near Selma. Alabama, ancl was educated at Howard College and took theological courses at several institutions. He came to Barbour County in the late fifties and in 1864 married Flora McNab, daughter of John M. McNab, banker and large real estate owner. When the war Between the states was declared, he was pastor of the-First.Baptist Church at Eufaula, but responded to his country's need and went forth with the first Barbour County company. He served throughout the war, returning a Major. He resumed his pastorate and served the Church until 1866, then went into the banking business with his father- in-law, but again in 1864 accepted the call to the pastorate of the same church and served through 1876. He was a man of most magnetic personality, a brilliant GAGENWEB - 12/18 - 2 Presented as a courtesy of: GAGenWeb @ Electronic Copyright 2005 www.gagenweb.org All Rights Reserved. scholar and an eloquent speaker, with a smile andhappy greet- ing for everyone whom he met. After resigning the pastorate of the Church. he accepted the superintendency of the Sunday School, and for more than ten years his Sunday School was repeatedly declared the finest Sunday School in Ala- bama from every standpoint. Dr. Reeves was one of the most picturesque preachers; his peculiar way of painting with words and metaphors his descriptive and mind pictures was most fascinating. On one occasion he took for his subject "Belshazzar's Feast" and it was pronounced a gem that shone in the Church life of the community for many years. On another occasion he described to his congregation a terrific storm that encountered the steamship he was returning from a trip to Europe on. By request he repeated the sermon, the subject of which was, "God," and the church could not hold the people, so he preached it a third time, in the Opera House. He was a man of broad vision, keen perception and a scholar who delved deep into his subjects, giving to his hear- ers the essence of what his quick and powerful mind caught and held. For many years he was president of the John McNab Bank and had large farming interests. He built a beautiful home on Old Flake's Hill, naming it "Mount McNab," which mas one of the most beautiful homes ever built in Barbour County, but soon after the death of Dr. and Mrs. Reeves it was destroyed by fire, and in that fire were lost many handsome furnishings and old family treasures. The children born to Dr. and Mrs. Reeves were Islay, married Harmon Lampley, Feb. 22nd, 1887. To them were born three sons, Harmon, Jr., William Reeves, and Ira Tullis, all deceased. The eldest, Harmon, married Gara Hollemon and to them were born two sons, Harmon, 111, and Hinton C. Harmon is a Cadet at West Point Military Academy and Hinton a .high school boy. All the other children of Dr. and Mrs. Reeves were sons: Dr. John M. Reeves, dentist, deceased; William N., Jr., mar- ried Fannie Tennille, and to them were born two daughters, Florine and Lillian. The third son, David; and the youngest, Charles, all now ,deceased. GAGENWEB - 12/18 - 3 Presented as a courtesy of: GAGenWeb @ Electronic Copyright 2005 www.gagenweb.org All Rights Reserved. JERRY H. REEVES Jerry Keeland Reeves was born in Dallas County near Selma, Ala., July 26th, 1847, and came to Eufaula immediately after graduating at the University of Virginia in 1871. He was one of the most prominent, progressive and enterprising citi- zens of Barbour County, a man of much learning and marked business ability. Fbr many years he was engaged in the mercantile busi- ness and was manager of the large farming interests of John McNal:, Bank of which he was vice president, when his brother, Dr. W. N. Keeves, succeeded their father-in-law, John Mc- Nab, as president of that institution. He was an enthusiastic lover of Eufaula and took the lead in every project for the upbuilding of the town and county in the days of her glorious past. During the later years of his life he was manager of the large insurance business of W. N. and J. H. Reeves. Personally he was beloved for many traits of character that made him outstanding. He was jovial, happy hearted and was appreciated by many to whom he ministered in many helpful ways throughout his life. He was always active and enjoyed fine health, until the accident that caused his death. He was thrown from his buggy as he drove down town from his home out on the hill, receiving internal injuries that culminated in his death. Mr. Reeves was the first man in Barbour County to ride a bicycle and he presented a unique and most imposing picture riding along on one of the big one-wheel bicycles, with the very small wheel at the bottom of the large one, as he was tall and stout, but he was a fine rider. He was a consistent and valuable member of the First Baptist Church: a deacon and a Bible Class Sunday School teacher. In 1872 he married Elizabeth McNab, daughter of John M. McNab, pioneer banker of Eufaula, and intendant of the town, before it was made a city, and for a long time the wealth- iest citizen in Barbour County.

  • Professional Communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861
    OBJECTS OF CONFIDENCE AND CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA, 1804-1861 By THOMAS EDWARD REIDY JOSHUA D. ROTHMAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LAWRENCE F. KOHL JOHN M. GIGGIE JENNIFER R. GREEN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 ! Copyright Thomas E. Reidy 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Objects of Confidence and Choice considered the centrality of professional communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861. The dissertation highlighted what it meant to be a professional, as well as what professionals meant to their communities. The study examined themes of education, family, wealth patterns, slaveholding, and identities. This project defined professionals as men with professional degrees or licenses to practice: doctors, clergymen, teachers, and others. Several men who appeared here have been widely studied: William Lowndes Yancey, Josiah Nott, J. Marion Sims, James Birney, Leroy Pope Walker, Clement Comer Clay, and his son Clement Claiborne Clay. Others are less familiar today, but were leaders of their towns and cities. Names were culled from various censuses and tax records, and put into a database that included age, marital status, children, real property, personal property, and slaveholding. In total, the database included 453 names. The study also mined a rich vein of primary source material from the very articulate professional community. Objects of Confidence and Choice indicated that professionals were not a social class but a community of institution builders. In order to refine this conclusion, a more targeted investigation of professionals in a single antebellum Alabama town will be needed.

  • GEORGE WALLACE, SPEECH at SERB HALL (26 March 1976)
    Voices of Democracy 11 (2016): 44-70 Hogan 44 GEORGE WALLACE, SPEECH AT SERB HALL (26 March 1976) J. Michael Hogan The Pennsylvania State University Abstract This essay seeks to account for the persuasive appeal of George C. Wallace’s campaign rally addresses. The firebrand southern governor and perennial presidential candidate drew a large national following in the late 1960s and early 1970s with speeches that defied all the rules and norms of presidential politics. Yet they invoked passionate commitment within an especially disaffected segment of the American electorate. Utilizing survey date, this essay challenges the conventional portrait of Wallace and the Wallacites, demonstrating that Wallace’s appeal was rooted not so much in conservative politics as in feelings of political alienation, persecution, and pessimism. Accounting for the Wallace phenomenon in terms of a classic, Hofferian theory of social protest, the essay concludes by reflecting on the parallels between Wallace and Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential election. Keywords: George C. Wallace, presidential campaigns, campaign rallies, political disaffection, true believers. In 1964, George Wallace became a national figure when he launched his first campaign for the presidency with little money, no campaign organization, and an impressive array of critics and adversaries in the media, the churches, the labor movement, and the political mainstream.1 Surprising almost everybody, he showed remarkable strength in northern Democratic primaries and focused attention on his favorite target: the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1968, Wallace faced the same barriers and more. His decision to run as a third-party candidate added the challenge of a political system rigged to favor the two major-party candidates.2 Despite those obstacles, Wallace tallied 10 million votes—the most popular votes ever for a third party candidate in U.S.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CONFEDERATE FEDERALISM
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CONFEDERATE FEDERALISM: A VIEW FROM THE GOVERNORS Michael Albert Powell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Herman J. Belz Department of History Examination of Confederate fed eralism to date generally has emphasized one of two interpretations: that the Confederacy either “died of state rights” or that the Confederacy, because of the war -time demands, created a government at least as centralized as the Union, if not more so. Th is dissertation argues that the reality was much more complex. Confederate federalism consisted of three phases. The first, or the cooperative, phase was represented by a high degree of cooperation between the states and central government and lasted fro m the formation of the Confederacy until the spring of 1862. The governors freely provided troops, arms, and equipment to both the Confederacy and each other with minimal conflict over constitutional lines of authority. The second phase, from the spring of 1862 to the fall of 1864, was marked by conflict between the states and the Davis administration, with the differences resolved through negotiated compromises. While conscription was a war -time necessity, compromises were negotiated between the governors and the Davis administration over exemptions, use of state courts in deciding the constitutionality of conscription, and changes in the law itself. Impressment and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus were recognized by the governors as legitima te constitutional powers of the central government, but limitations were negotiated with respect to their enforcement. Lastly, fiscal policies were deemed by the governors to fall within the sphere of the Confederacy’s constitutional authority and therefo re beyond the scope of gubernatorial authority.
