The Union Presbyterian Church, Oxford, Pennsylvania, History Book, page 133 contains the following statement: "It is a matter of record that five generations of the White family have given support to Union Church since-John White first made his contribution to bring about a union between Seceders and Presbyterians in 1811." 6. Note in the front of the John White Family Bible, Edition 1812, is as follows: "Bought by John White October 20, 1813, Bart Township, Lancaster County Pa. This John White was my Great grandfather. He was married Oct 24th 1789 to Catharine Sprowl who died July 2nd, 1843 in her 82nd year of age. This bible came to their son Samuel White whcise daughter Annie gave it to Ada R. MacMillan (grand daughter of William White) and the latter presented it to me, on June 8th 1924, in Lancaster Pa. on the 78th anniversary of the death of the above John White who died June 8th 1846, in the 86th year of his age James D. White" 7. There is a small note taped to one of the family pages in the center of this bible which is quoted here: "Yourself and family, are invited to attend the Funeral of JOHN WHITE from the residence of his son, Samuel White, West Orange St., TO-MORROW AFTERNOON, (Tuesday,) 4 o'clock.

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois to Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway. The second of six children, Ernest enjoyed an adventurous boyhood, fishing and hunting with his father in the northern woods of Michigan. He attended Oak Park High School where he excelled in his classes, particularly English. He tried his hand at football and swimming, edited the school paper (the Trapeze), and contributed pieces to the school's literary magazine (the Tabula). After graduating high school, Ernest traveled to Kansas City and worked as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star. In 1918, he began service as an ambulance driver for the Italian army. On July 8, he was wounded at Fossalta on the Italian Piave while delivering chocolates, cigarettes, and postcards to soldiers. He married Elizabeth Hadley Richardson on September 3, 1921. The newlyweds soon entered the literary community of Paris, living off of Hadley's trust fund and Ernest's pay as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. The 1920's were extremely productive writing years for Hemingway. Three Stories and Ten Poems was published in 1923, In Our Time in 1925. In 1926, The Torrents of Spring and the widely successful novel, The Sun Also Rises were published.

    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage

    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

Wheeler, Editor Dear Members of The Pilgrim William White Society: It was emotional writing this first message for our very first newsletter. We have finally joined together from all over the U.S. as the White family to honor and celebrate our dear ancestor, William White and his family, by forming The Pilgrim William White Society. We actually do not know very much about our ancestor William White. We do not know where he was born. We do not know who his parents were. We do not know where he met Susanna, or where they were married. We do not know if he and Susan- na started the voyage to New England as part of the group from Holland, or joined the voyage as part of the English group. We do know this—we all want to know more about William and Susanna. This is one of the reasons this Society was formed. Another reason for the Society is that we seem to inherently have a bond with each other and we want to know a little more about each other—our cousins, as we fondly say. In this first issue of the newsletter, the members who agreed to serve as interim officers will be introduced. We have included a short biography and picture of each one. Also included is a bio and picture of the editor of our newsletter, Richard Wheeler, to whom we are very grateful for taking on the big project of producing a newsletter four times a year, as we intend to do.

Hewitt, Commissioner ____________________________________________________________________ Todd B. Morgan, Commissioner John E. O’Connor, Commissioner NEWS RELEASE for Immediate Release No. 2019 - 45 March 11, 2019 2:30 p.m. Original 17th Century Iron Cross Erected by the First English Colonists in Maryland to be on Display Leonardtown, MD – The 17th century iron cross, initially erected on St. Clement’s Island by the earliest English settlers to Maryland on the first “Maryland Day,” March 25, 1634, will temporarily return to its first home in the Americas where it will be on display at St. Clement’s Island Museum during the Maryland Day Ceremony on March 25. The hammer-welded cross, made of ship’s iron and measures 4 feet tall, 2 feet wide and weighs approximately 24 pounds, was brought to the New World by the settlers and their Jesuit companions aboard their ships, the Ark and the Dove. It is said that upon landing on St. Clement’s Island in March of 1634, Fr. Andrew White, S.J. erected the cross and then led a Mass of Thanksgiving for the mainly Roman Catholic English settlers. This was thought to have been the first Roman Catholic Mass on English-speaking American soil and because of this the cross is considered by its caretakers to represent the freedom of religion, upon which the United States of America was built. More recently, the cross was used in Pope Francis’ first Mass in the United States at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, in Washington D.C., in September 2015.
