Memorial to Charles Wythe Cooke 1887— 1971 VICTOR T. STRINGFIELD 4208 50 Street, NW„ Washington, D.C. 20016 The death of Dr. Charles Wythe Cooke in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Christmas Day 1971, ended his long and successful career as geologist, stratigrapher, and paleontologist. He is survived by his sister, Madge Lane Cooke. Cooke was born in Baltimore, Maryland, July 20, 1887. He was a bachelor. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University in 1908 and Ph.D. (in geology) in 1912. From 1911 to 1912 he was a Fellow at the university. In July 1910, while a grad uate student, he received an appointment as Junior Geologist for summer work in the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning his long career in that organization. In the U.S. Geological Survey, he was Assistant Geologist, 1913 to 1917; Paleontologist, 1917 to 1919; Associate Geologist, 1919 to 1920; Geologist, 1920 to 1928; Scientist, 1928 to 1941; Senior Scientist, 1941 to 1951; andGeologist-Stratigrapher-Paleontologist, 1952 to 1956. He served as research associate in the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., from 1956 until his death. He was geologist in the Dominican Republic for the Geological Survey in 1919 and worked for the Tropical Oil Company, Colombia, South America, in 1920. After completing his 40 years of service in the U.S. Geological Survey, Cooke retired on November 30,1956. Also in 1956 he received the Meritorious Service Award of the Interior Department in recognition of his outstanding service. That citation in 1956 states: His scientific work lias been concerned with the paleontology, stratigraphy, and landforms (geomorphology) of the Coastal Plain, extending from New Jersey to Mississippi. -
North Carolina/Virginia Boundary Update
How did North Carolina get its shape? • NC Boundary Commission recommends that we start work on the NC-VA boundary How did North Carolina get its shape? • North Carolina/Virginia boundary – Charter of 1665 by King Charles “All that province, territory, or tract of land, scituate [situate], lying or being within our dominions of America aforesaid; extending north and eastward, as far as the north end of Currituck River, or inlet, upon a strait [straight] westerly line to Wyonoak Creek, which lies within or about the degrees of thirty-six and thirty minutes, northern latitude; and so west in a direct line as far as the South Seas [Pacific Ocean].” I like the part about North Carolina extending to the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, Tennessee eventually becomes a state and gets in the way, but that is another story.

Virginia State Capitol and Capitol Square
Virginia State Capitol and Capitol Square In 1779, the Virginia Legislature voted to move the capital from Williamsburg to Richmond. Until a permanent Capitol could be built, the Virginia General Assembly met in two wood-framed buildings at the corner of what is now 14th Street and Cary Street. With Richmond as the new capital, six squares of land were selected for the placement of permanent public buildings. In 1788, the Thomas Jefferson designed Capitol was considered finished enough to house the Virginia General Assembly. Jefferson’s Roman temple form building is the middle portion of the present-day Capitol. The original building was expanded in 1906 with the addition of two wings, and again in 2007 with an underground extension. The architecturally and historically important building is designated as a National Historic Landmark and tentatively listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The public area surrounding the Capitol was originally a weed-filled open square with informal lanes and footpaths. In 1816, the Virginia General Assembly hired French-born Maximilian Godefroy to lay out a formal park. Two years later, the newly landscaped grounds were enclosed by the cast- and wrought-iron fence still in place today, and this area eventually came to be called Capitol Square. While retaining aspects of Godefroy’s framework, Scottish-born John Notman developed an 1850 overlay plan of meandering walkways and native trees and shrubs that gave Capitol Square much of the character and appeal it retains today. This designed historic landscape is nationally significant.

Everyday Life in Colonial Virginia
VS.4e NOTE PAGE Everyday Life in Colonial Virginia 1. Natural, capital, and human resources found in colonial Virginia were used to produce the goods and services people needed to survive. Natural resources are resources found in Virginia, such as fish or trees. Capital resources are the items used by people to complete a task. For example, the tools used by farmers to farm their fields would be considered capital resources. Some of these capital resources were made in Virginia. Some were brought from England. People who do the work are human resources. Some of the colonists that came to Virginia were soldiers, farmers and blacksmiths. Those colonists would be considered human resources. 2. Many Virginians made their living from the land as small farmers. Some people owned large farms, or plantations. Enslaved African Americans tended tobacco, other crops and livestock for their owners. Enslaved African Americans did not have any rights. Many free African Americans owned their own businesses and property, but they were still denied many rights. 3. Life was very different during colonial times. Most people lived in one-room houses with dirt floors. Some people, such as wealthy farmers, lived in larger homes. Households used the resources available to them to make their own clothes. Most clothing was made of cotton, wool, and leather. Food choices were very limited for the colonists. Meals were made from local produce and meats. 4. Colonial Virginia was very different from the Virginia we know today! The colonists used the resources found in Virginia to live everyday.
