The weather has kept us Jim Dunbar– 1st Lieutenant from having our normal meetings and therefore has Commander / Adjutant delayed much of the information I need in order to Jack Brown-Chaplin & Judge complete the newsletter.

In June of 1952, our mother, Zadie Thomas Harrigill , at the age of 23, was photographed with William Joshua Bush and William Daniel Townsend. The two Confederate soldiers were attending the annual meeting of “The Sons of Confederate Veterans” in Jackson ,Mississippi. They took time out to pose in front of the Daughters of American Revolution Monument in front of the State Capital for the crowd and the Newspapers. Mother was watching in the crowd when she was asked to have her photo made with the two gentlemen and then afterwards when the Newspaper asked her for her name, she gave a fake name for fear from a jealous husband that she had posed and kissed a man, even if they were old. But when the Newspaper found out her real name, they mailed two 8 x 10 photos to her home and an article from the paper. Our mother is gone now and all I had was the story of that day and that she thought it was around 1951. She also thought it was for a movie scene, but was never sure. Years after she passed away, my sister Margie and I traveled to Jackson to the Mississippi State Capital to research the original photo taken that day. We were able to find the exact spot with the help of an Historian who worked at the Capital. We spent hours that day digging in the National archives for the newspaper article but never found it. June 5, 1952 This is our beautiful mother ( Watermark added by BH for online only) That was in May of 2010. I never gave up and continued when I could to keep Zadie Thomas, Harrigill searching for the article or anything connecting that day with our mother. I finally did find another photograph of the soldiers, the date and why they were in Jackson. These are the two other photographs I found while digging in the Ancestry Newspapers. 1952-6/5-Jackson, Miss: Two of the seven living Confederate Veterans were in Jackson, Miss for a reunion of the faded men in Gray. General Wm “Josh” Bush of Fitzgerald, Ga.(right) and General Wm D. Townsend of Olla, La. were the only ones spry enough to attend reunion festivities. The two “old soldiers” were up and dressed at 6 o’clock this morning (6/5), then they put on a spirited demonstration for cameramen before a Confederate monument at the state capital. Between the two “vets” is Marilyn Padgett, Baytown, Texas. (UNITED PRESS TELE) OLD SOLDIERS - Two old Confederate veterans, William Townsend (left) of Olla, La., and William Bush of Fitzgerald, Ga., pause on the state capital grounds at Jackson, Miss., while young Tommy Hardy (center) fans away some of the hot summer air. Townsend and Bush were attending the annual meeting of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Of the eight remaining rebel veterans, they were the only ones able to attend.

One that we had discussed in the past. Dennis Spears was the entertainment coordinator as he described the little known White Oak Civil War Museum and Stafford Research Center several times during meetings. The timing was perfect for a group of us to get together and see what we have been missing. Camp Photo in front of White Oak Center First off let me say we had a great time and it was well worth the drive and $4 admission. Set up outside is the mock up of a winter camp. The log chimneys, straw floor and canvas are permanent fixtures here. There is even a mock up union cemetary.

  • 2020 Purple and Gold Bus Tour Binder (PDF)
    Funded by a grant provided by the Health Resources & Services Administration Pamela Reis, PI College of Nursing BUS TOUR FUNDING & SUPPORT The 2020 Purple and Gold Bus Tour was funded by a grant from the United States Health Resources & Services Administration’s (HRSA) Advanced Nursing Education Workforce program. The administration is an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal agency for improving health care to people who are geographically isolated or are economically or medically vulnerable. Many eastern North Carolina residents fall under that description. The grant was awarded to ECU College of Nursing primary investigator Pamela Reis for her project “Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Academic-Clinical Practice Collaborative.” The study’s purpose is to significantly strengthen the availability and capacity of the APRN primary care workforce in rural and underserved communities in eastern North Carolina. This innovative collaboration between students in three APRN concentrations – nurse practitioner, nurse-midwifery and clinical nurse specialist – will occur through joint, long-term clinical placements in rural and underserved clinics in partnership with Vidant Health. The project’s main goals are to: » Establish and enhance academic-clinical partnerships with Vidant Health, the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute, and the East Carolina University Center for Telepsychiatry and E-Behavioral Health. » Recruit and train a minimum of 16 APRN preceptors in partnership with Vidant Health. » Create eight longitudinal clinical placement sites in rural and underserved communities through Vidant Health » Provide traineeship funds to at least 84 full- and part-time nurse practitioner, nurse-midwifery and clinical nurse specialist students.

  • Civil War Veterans Interred in Plymouth Massachusetts Cemeteries
    Civil War Veterans Interred in Plymouth Massachusetts Cemeteries. Compiled by Diane Maguire and David Chandler, ©2017. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president of the United States in 1933, his top priority was to lift the nation out of the Great Depression that had begun with the Wall Street Crash of October 1929. The main problem in 1933 was that the economy had pretty much become stagnant: the average person had no extra money so he or she didn’t buy any consumer goods; the factories that made consumer goods went out of business; the trucking companies that transported raw materials to the factories and goods to the consumer also went out of business; so the remedy seemed to be to put cash in people’s pockets, in any way possible. To accomplish this Roosevelt established a vast number of agencies and policies that collectively became known as the New Deal. Many of these were what we might call “make work” projects: the government hired artists to paint murals in post offices and other government buildings, writers to write the histories of states and cities, and unskilled laborers to build highways and limber camps that had never before been thought necessary. The main agency overseeing these projects was the Works Progress Administration or WPA. The American Legion, an organization founded after World War One to promote the rights of veterans, had already begun in 1930 to compile lists of all veterans buried in US cemeteries. The Legion used volunteers for this task, so the results were haphazard. In some cities and towns avid volunteers took to the job eagerly; in others almost nothing was done.

THE SIXTH MISSISSIPPI INFANTRY REGIMENT: COURAGEOUS CITIZEN SOLDIERS By John L. Frizzell During the United States’ Civil War, the country was rent divisively into two separate nations: the United States of America and the Confederate States of America. The states that did not secede from the United States battled to preserve the Union, while the seceded states fought hard to preserve their new found independence. The plight of the seceded Confederacy, commonly known as “the lost cause,” came with potentially disastrous end results. If the Confederacy were defeated, all of its citizens could be labeled as traitors and put to death, causing Confederate soldiers to fight hard to ensure their freedom. One regiment in particular, the Sixth Mississippi Infantry Regiment, performed great acts of valor, once charging the enemy repeatedly until the Sixth itself was in such a shambles that it was forced to retire from the field.

    THE STORY OF LENOIR COUNTY AND Kl NSTON, NORTH CAROLI NA I ., j' ! General William Lenoir for whom Lenoir County was named. From an original pencil sketch in the possession of Mrs. Mary Fisher Patterson, Chapel Hill. Annals of Progress THE STORY OF LENOIR COUNTY AND KINSTON 1 NORTH CAROLINA WILLIAM S. POWELL RALEIGH STATE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY 1963 STATE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY EXECUTIVE BOARD McDANIEL LEWIS, Chairman JAMES W. ATKINS RALPH P. HANES MISS GERTRUDE SPRAGUE CARRAWAY JOSH L. HORNE FLETCHER M. GREEN DANIEL J. WHITENER CHRISTOPHER CRITTENDEN, Director The seal of the City of Kinston, reproduced on the cover and title page, was granted by the College of Arms, London, during the City's two hundredth anniversary celebra­ tion in 1962. PREFACE This is the first of an anticipated series of 100 county histories written for use in the public schools of North Carolina and in­ tended as a supplement to the regularly prescribed North Caro­ lina history textbook. By its nature it cannot delve deeply into the origins of all aspects of the County's history nor can it fully relate everything to similar or related events elsewhere in the State. It is hoped that young readers will be inspired to under­ take their own research on local topics which trigger their interest and that they will make use of other published local and State histories for further information. For his generosity in permitting me to make extensive use of The Story of Kinston and Lenoir County, which he and Talmage C. Johnson published in 1954.
