BERKELEY DEAD A Confederate Veteran Passes Peacefully Away in His Home at Waterfall Col. Norborne Berkeley, eighty-two years old, died at his home, near Waterfall, yesterday [January 12, 1911] afternoon, following a stroke of paralysis on Monday. He was educated at the Virginia Military Institute and at the beginning of the Confederate war, was made Lieutenant Colonel of the celebrated eighth Virginia Infantry commanded by the late General Eppa Hunton. When Colonel Hunton was wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, Col. Berkeley was promoted to the command of the regiment and led it, with gallantry, through many hardfought battles. Though Col. Berkeley had attained over four score years of age, he manifested the vitality and energy of one very much younger, and took much interest in caring for the details of his rural home at the foot of the romatic Bull Run mountains. When stricken he was engaged in pruning his well-kept orchard, and death claimed him without his re-gaining consciousness. The deceased is survived by an elder brother, Lieutenant-Colonel Edmund Berkeley, who, upon the promotion of his brother Norborne, at Gettysburg, was made Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment. The funeral took place this afternoon from St. Paul’s Episcopal church in Haymarket, the Rev. Mr. Grinnan, rector of the church, officiating, and interment was in St. Paul’s church cemetery. Thos acquainted with the deceased will attest his many amiable qualities of mind and heart, and who will mourn his loss.

TAYLOR Ex-Mayor of Manassas and Confederate Veteran Passed Away Last Night With only a few moments warning to his family, Mr. Thos. O. Taylor sank into unconsciousness at four o’clock yesterday [January 26, 1911] afternoon, at his home in Peobody street, this place, and died at eleven o’clock. Although having been in ill health for the past two years, and quite feeble from the infirmities of age, his persevering energy enabled him to appear upon the streets of Manassas, with no alarming change in his condition, the afternoon of the day before his death. Yesterday afternoon he put on his overcoat and attempted to make his customary trip to the postoffice for his mail, but overcome with feelings of languor, after going a half square, he returned to his home and seated himself in a chair by the stove. Throwing up his hands with an outcry that told in no uncertain words of his dying condition, he was tenderly carried to his bed chamber and his family physician, Dr. J. Marye Lewis, summoned. The anxious expression of the loved ones, who stood around the deathbed, was answered by the physician with a solumn glance which revealed the sad fact that the soul of his patient would soon be with his Maker. So short was the warning of the “grim monster” that the friends of the deceased had no intimation of his unusual illness and his death came as a surprise. Mr. Taylor, who was a son of the late Joseph D. and Frances Rosseau Taylor, of the upper portion of Prince William County, was born October 12, 1834, and was thus in his 77th year. At the outbreak of the Confederate war, he joined the Fifth Texas Infantry and fought in the battles of The Wilderness, Seven Pines and numerous other minor engagements. Subsequent to the battle of Seven Pines, he was assigned to Chimborazo hospital, in Richmond. He was with the hospital’s corps of surgeons upon the bloody fields of the Seven-days-fight and his ministrations of mercy were attested by the wounded and dying, from that great struggle, who were removed to the hospital after the tide of battle had swept over those memorable fields, in defense of the Confederate Capital. After the close of the war he returned to Prince William county and engaged in the mercantile business at Hickory Grove, of which place he was chosen postmaster by the Federal government, though an avowed rebel, through his eminent fitness for the position and the wishes of the patrons of the office. He was also a merchant, for two Compiled and Transcribed by Morgan Breeden, RELIC Volunteer, Bull Run Regional Library, Manassas, VA - 4 - The Manassas Journal Reports of Death, 1911 - 1915 Taylor, Thomas Owen (Cont.) years in Charlestown, W.

  • Buckland History

    Buckland History

    HISTORIC SITE FILE: Bu ti< LftAl D PRINCE WILLIAM PVBUC LIBRARY SYSTEM RELIC/Bull Run Reg Lib Manassas, VA Buckland History Prior to the establishment of Buckland Towne in 1798, this same site, on the banks of Broad Run, was a thriving prehistoric, Native American settlement. The first recorded deeds make reference to the "Indian Springs". There were five springs, which indicates a rather large Indian population. Jefferson Street, that bisects the village of Buckland, was once known as the Iroquois Trail. (Record of this Trail appears in 1662, when Col. Abraham Wood, a noted surveyor of his day, reported that "the Susquehannoc Indians would leave their main village about forty miles up the Susquehanna River; make their way to Point of Rocks, thence down into North Carolina, where they would barter with Indians on the Yadkin River for beaver skins, then return to New Amsterdam and sell their skins to the Dutch".) After the Treaty of Albany was signed in 1722, the trail be~ame known as the Carolina Trail or Road. This location on the banks of Broad Run with a never failing, swift flow of water, proved to be as desirable to the European settlers but, rather for the establishment of mills. The land at Buckland was originally part of the Broad Run Tract owned by Robert (King) Carter and after his death, his sons, Landon and Charles, deeded the tract in 1771 to brother-in-law Walker Taliaferro. The Carter family had operated a Mill here in the early 177o's when the property was conveyed in 1774 to Samuel Love "together with the mill built and erected thereon and the land mill dam and other appurtenances used with said mill".

  • The Twelfth Decade

    The Twelfth Decade

    1911-1920 The Twelfth Decade Overview The twelfth decade was one of several significant developments and events. After 82 years as a Village, Batavia became a City. Batavia came to have its first City Hall. The police department for the first time had its own building. Also for the first time, there were full-time paid firemen. The community finally had a sewer system and sewage treatment plant. The municipal water system was upgraded and a water filtration plant added. And, as was the case with other cities across the Country, Batavia felt the impact of World War I. Batavia’s population continued to grow rapidly. The number of residents reached 13,541 in 1920 (“Genesee County Information,” Richmond Memorial Library, online, accessed 3 January 2014). This was an increase of 1,928 individuals since 1910. In the view of the author, this decade may be regarded as Batavia’s “golden age.” Main Street still had most of its mansions. A large number of the major manufacturing concerns that defined Batavia were in place. The housing in the City was still mainly single-family homes. Retail activity was almost entirely in a centralized “downtown.” A trolley ran the length of Main Street and the Tonawanda Creek was a major recreational attraction that drew crowds on summer weekends. 1: Infrastructure As indicated in the last chapter, work on constructing sewers began in December of 1909. The layout resulted in all of the sewage being conveyed to a central station at the Municipal Building at 3 West Main Street. As of July in 1911, the work on the sewers was well along.

Buenger December 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Battle of Sailor’s Creek: A Study in Leadership. (December 2005) Cloyd Allen Smith Jr., B.A., Slippery Rock University Chair: Dr. Joseph Dawson The Battle of Sailor’s Creek, 6 April 1865, has been overshadowed by Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House several days later, yet it is an example of the Union military war machine reaching its apex of war making ability during the Civil War. Through Ulysses S. Grant’s leadership and that of his subordinates, the Union armies, specifically that of the Army of the Potomac, had been transformed into a highly motivated, organized and responsive tool of war, led by confident leaders who understood their commander’s intent and were able to execute on that intent with audacious initiative in the absence of further orders. After Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia escaped from Petersburg and Richmond on 2 April 1865, Grant’s forces chased after Lee’s forces with the intent of destroying the mighty and once feared iv protector of the Confederate States in the hopes of bringing a swift end to the long war.

    R O/'^V^Y RECOLLECTIONS of a LONG LIFE by JOSEPH

    /r O/'^v^y RECOLLECTIONS OF A LONG LIFE BY JOSEPH PACKARD, D. D. 18121902 EDITED BY REV. THOMAS J. PACKARD V Washington, D. C. BYRON S. ADAMS, PUBLISHER 1902 Copyrighted 1902 Thomas J. Packard lb"** *j3 TO MY SISTER, CORNELIA J. PACKARD , WHOSE FILIAL CARE SOOTHED AND SUSTAINED OUR FATHER'S LATER YEARS THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED. PREFACE. My father felt a deep interest in biography, but was persuaded that it should be confined within narrow limits. He thought that, as Dean Burgon said, while yet the man lived freshly in the memory of his friends, while his sayings were remembered, and his aspect and demeanor were easily recalled, then one who knew him well should commit to paper a living image of the man, should so exhibit him that later generations might feel that they had seen and known him. Many of the world's good men have no personal memorial because this was not done. I have not attempted a complete biography of my father, but I aided him in preparing for the press these Recollections of a Long Life, which in part were published in the Protestant Epis copal Review about six years ago. Subsequent conversations have added more material, and the entire work has been carefully examined and reedited. His published discourses and the admirable sketch of the Alumni by Dr. Dalrymple have also been used. His life and work touched many other lives, therefore these recollections have a wider interest than for his family alone. I trust they may preserve his person and memory from oblivion.
