Oslome has got home. Remember me though many miles apart.-be you in my daily Study and
Nightly dreams if this war was to end it would not take me long to get hom~ I would like
to know if any Body is staying with you and whom it is you said that you wished I would
hire a Negro if you can hire one do it or get some Body to hire one for you for balance of
the year. You must send me all the news and any thing that will interest me I cannot hear
no news here. Give my love to all inquiring friends and tell them to let me hear from
them. I would be glad to see all of my old friends once more if it was possible. Tell
George Giles that lie must write to me and write all the news. You must not grieve
yourself so umeli as you are doing. I hope I shall be at home in some 3 or 4 mouths. You
take tuore to heart than you ought to do for it will all do no good will only make you
miserable. May God be widi us and bless and bring me safe to you all once more. May he
bless you and all your little ones and if lie has so willed it that I should not get back
it will only be just in his sight for he rules the whole world and we should not murmer at
his own good will but submissively bow to him that will protect you from all harm if you
will trust him. Wite soon to your affectionate husband until death.

rode, which could jump the highest fence. From his granddaughter, Blanford Towler

IX (i) Dawkins Rodgers, killed early in Civil War. (2) Thomas
Nuckolls Rodgers, was a successful lawyer, and rose to the Judgeship in his native
district, but like so many other good men of his time lost his political scalp in the
Republican regime during the dark days following the Civil War. In 1767, John Nuckolls,
Sr., bade farewell to his Virginia home, put wif; children, and all their belongings on
horses and turned their faces toward Carolina'. Arriving at Kings Mountain they ascended
to the summit of that noted peak, and made a cup of tea. The cups, saucers, and spoons
used are now in possession of Samuel Littlejohn, Jonesville, S. C., who is a
great-grandson. While here at Kings Mt. their daughter Susan was born, who afterward
married Charles Littlejohn. As soon as circumstances would permit the journey was
continued until Whig Hill was reached, where a halt and settlement was made. The famous
white rose was brought along. Whenever a member of the Nuckolls Family went out to build a
home for themselves, scion or cutting was taken from this rose bush and 'vial the most
scrupulous care it was planted and cultivated as a precious heirloom of ancestry. John
Nuckolls, Sn, was Commissioner of Election in ry76; he had accumulated considerable
property by indomitable energy and industry, and was making his Carolina domain more
productive and beautiful, when the storm of the American Rev. War burst upon the country.
Though of English descent, he at once threw himself wholly into the cause of Independence;
in fact he became such an unflinching and uncompromising Whig that the hill on which he
lived was called Whig Hill. The greatest suffering inflicted on the Whig Hill settlement
was by thieving Tories, with which the country was infected; they would seize what they
wanted to carry off and destroy ale balance. Perhaps the most noted of these raids made in
1780, a clean sweep, ale only bed left for the youngest child was a sheepskin used for a
saddle blanket. It was probably at this time, when they were sh00ting stock, breaking up
furniture and ripping open feather beds, that Mr& Nuckolls, woman-like, begati
tongue4ashing them. One of the dastardly scoundrels struck at her head with a sabre; she,
throwing up her arm to ward off the blow, received a wound which left a scar she carried
to her grave. Owing to the nature of the service of upper Carolina, the patriot soldiers
could get off and visit their homes. Early in Dec. 1780, just before the battle at Kings
ML, John Nuckolls, Sr., visited his home at Whig Hill. Finding the meal tub empty, he, in
company with his little son John, went to McKown's mill, near the Ninety-nine Islands.
McKown was a Tory-pretending that he could not gvind for him until the next day, with
apparent kindness he gave him the room at the mill for the night McKown and his band came
to the room where Nuckolls was quietly sleeping; arousing him, they said, "We've come
for yott" They took him a short distance from the mill to shoot him. He ask that they
would give him five minutes to pray. This was granted, and he prayed aloud. After he had
uttered a few petitions, a villain by name of Davis said: "If he continues to praying
that much longer we will not be able to kill him", and fired a ball through his head.
The grave is encased in a hewn granite slab, three feet by six feet. Inscription: "In
memory of John Nuckolls, Sr., who was murdered by the Tories for his devotion to liberty,
the uth day of Dec. 1780 in the 49th year of his age."
"Rest noble patriot,
Rest in peace
The prize you sought
Your Country won."
Not many months after Nuckolls' death, Davis, his murdere; with
some others, were lurking in Thickety bottoms, near \vhig Hill, where they were secreting
plunder, consisting of cattle, mluables, etc. Some alert Whigs caught them and to Davis
and a few others, their just deserts were soon meted out to them. Going to the house of
Mrs. Nuckolls, the whigs ask for pick and shovel, saying that they were going to settle
her some neighbors. She said she "hoped they would be good neighbors." They told
her that they "would guarantee them to be quiet ones." Behveen 1782 and 1785,
Mrs. Nuckolls (Agatha, spelled Agnes on her tombstone), married Joshua Petty, b. 1751, d.
Feb. 6, i8i6. "He was as much loved by the children as if he had been their own
father. He managed the farm so as to increase the value of the property and
gave the children the best education possible".

V~;
farmer and mechanic: "In 1828, a rather peculiar to~ grew on
the
high ground between the Etowah and Chestatee rivers in what
is now
Lumpkin Co., Ga. As the story goes it was 1828 Benjamin
Parks, of
Dahlonega was deer hunting, absently kicked at a rock on a
hillside.
The rock was a chunk of quartz gold in pockets or lodes. His
find
was so rich in gold that it was yellow like yolks of eggs.
First
settler was a man named Dean. Then an enterprising gentleman
named Nathaniel Nuckolls opened a tavern near By. This to~vn
was
first called Dean's, then Nuckollsyille, finally Auraria
(Gold), in
1832 the scene of Ga's. first gold rush, was named by John C.
Calhoun, owner of a nearby mine. Auraria and Dablonega were
the
two real gold towns in the U.S. before 1849. Located in the
Blue
Ridge Mountain foothills, Dahlonega Became the site of the
first
Gold Mint built by the U. S. Gov't (1836). From 1832 to 1861
more
than $40 million worth of gold was mined here." "There
is
still one
place in the U. S. where you can redeem a dollar bill for
gold: if
you pan it yourself. In the mountain streams of Dahionega in
north
Ga. for a $i fee, tourists are shown how to pan gold and
allowed to
keep all they get (usually more ~an a dollar's worth." The
will of
Nathaniel Nuckolls recorded in Muscogee Co., Ga., Oct. 5,
i868, and
copied on the records of Cherokee Co., AlL (at Centre, AlL),
in
1911; gave to each of his 4 sons and to each of his 7 daus.,

"Teacher,
excellent carpenter, farmer, rail-road employee; Assessor
Tipton Co.,
Ind., during his term of office, he established a record for
accuracy
in mathematics-when the County Books were audited, not one
mistake was found-even the 3rd checking revealed a perfect
set
of books; A very religious man, well controlled temper; many
neighbors have been reformed because of his quiet control of
his
team in the field; While working on the rail-road, repairing
cars
or other chores, it was his habit to whistle and sing.
\\Then perhaps
lie would mash a finger, his reaction was to whistle,
whereas his
associates were wont to use vile language; Often, when he
would
whistle, some one would remark 'There goes Trimble, cussing
again'. Early in life he taught us the dictionary habit, he
would
say, 'Now, daughter, I could tell you the meaning of that
word, but
you will remember it far better if you look it up for
yourself. There
is the dictionary, and that is what it is for.' "- By his

May
4, 1857. He and his brothers were much help in the formation of
Grayson Co., Va.; they had been well educated and good family
training in Eastern Virginia. The men and women were tall in
stature, a numl)er of them 7 ft. in height and well
proportioned. Ezra
sen-ed as Sheriff of Grayson Co., Va.; he and his nephews Creed
and Clarke Nuckolls wit William Oglesby were the first
merchants
at Grayson Court House, Va., until after the close of the War
i86i-
i86~; then the firm was Nuckolls and Jennings. A branch store
was
opened at Independence, \7a. Ezra built the first storehouse
there,
also the first hotel; he continued in btisiness until he sold
out and
moved to ~lissouri about 1853, bringiug their children and
their
slaves. Took up Gov't land where Rock Port, Mo., is now. After
locating, they said that some day a burying ground would be
needed,
and tl~ey selected a beautiful site on a little hill that
overlooked the
countryside. Ezra Nuckolls died first, all(l in three weeks his
wife
died of a broken heart. They were buried in that plot, which
has
always been known as the Nuckolls Burying Ground; though now it
adjoins or is a part of the Rock Port Cemetery. Jt has a good
iron
fence, well kept, and a nice granite monunient is at the grave
of Ezra
and Lucinda Nuckolls. Many of the Nuckolls family are buried
there. In this Nuckolls Burying Groun(l, there is a flowering

IX (2) Stephen Friel Nuckolls, b. Aug. i6, 1825, d. Feb. 14,
1879, Salt Lake City, Utah. He was only 29 when he arrived in
Table Creek, Nebr., 1854. He had come to Missouri from Grayson
C. H. in 1848; returned to Grayson Co., Va.; married, theti
came
back to Missouri. He, his brother Heath Nuckolls, and the men
who
laid out and founded Nebraska City, Nebr., were mostly
youngsters
- the leader was S. F. Nuckolls; he devoted the longest hours,
gave the most careful thought to the enterprise. Given an
education
much better than flie average, Nuckolls wanted learning well
estab-
lished in Nebr. City. " Crowded Civilization" begun to
tell on
the
nervous, restless Nuckolls. He fathered the idea of the first
Cemetery, \\ryuka, in i8~~ - Judiati name: high ground on high
hill. Wheti Nebr. was a Territory, lie was prominent in
securitig
the change to a State. Nuckolls County is named for him. With
sympathy for the South, he thought it best to move his family
to
Jersey City, N. J., during the \Var. From 1864 to 1867 lie was
in New York selling mining claims, dealing in metal stocks and
meeting the country's big financiers. In '867 he moved to
Wyonung
- starting a store in Cheyeiine and greeted the Union Pacific
when
it joined the town with the otitside world. When Wyomiug
assumed
Territorial dress, NuckoUs was one of the leaders, delegate to
Congress, helped to write the first constitution, and from this
Legislative Assembly was elected a member of the Congress,
Washington, D. C. The winter session was a busy one for the
youiig
town-builder - all sorts of bills were introduced to relieve
the
depression-touched territory - among them was an act to reduce
the
interest rate. "I believe money is worth all you can get for
it,"
Nuckolls said, "but I realize that we are depressed and so I
re-
luctantly vote for the measure. If you keep the rate high you
will
discourage speculators from wasting money on foolish
ventures."
"In
1875 Benj. Floyd Nuckolls wrote Stephen Friel Nuckolls for help
in
building a Methodist Church at what had been Grayson C. H., but
at this time the Post Office was Nuckollsville, Va., the courts
being
moved to Independence. He promptly answered, if we would
promise
to raise $x,ooo, he would send $[,ooo - he sent the $i,ooo in
New
York Exchange checks, stating he wanted us to put up a good
building. Our Church was dedicated by Dr. David Sullins in
1876.
This Church has been a great blessing to us. My father, Stephen
Nuckolls, when a young boy, drove an ox-team and hauled logs to
the sawmill for lumber to build this Church." The founder
died
in
Salt Lake City in 1879. There he had hoped to live peacefully
for
many years, but it was not to b~ Worn out from having burned
the
candle at both ends, he passed away at 54 a victim to the
restlessness
'vitich had carried him into a half dozen pioneering
coniniunities and
saw him in the forefront of every important exciting adventure.
Nuckolls was symbolic of the youth that established Nebraska
City;
youth that sees through untroubled eyes, scoffing at precedent
and
experience. Fortunately for our pioneering juveniles, and
fortunate
for us, they builded well and, as the record shows, prophesied
with
uticanny accuracy. (Taken from Nebraska City Arez~'~s-Pres~ Ne-

NUCKOLLS SQUARE ~IONU~~ENT
In Nebraska City, Nebr., the birth~ace of Arbor Dav, its
citizens
oil April 22, 1938, erected, tinveiled and dedicated the
Nuckdls
~~~itiare Mailcer to the memory of Stephen Friel Nuckolls, who
had
given the Park when the city was laid out in July 1854. In
1936
thetubers of the Woman's Club petitioned the City Council to
have
City Park renamed Nuckolls Square. The idea of the ~larker was
originated by the local Post of the American Legion.
The eight-ton red boulder was furnished by Mr. Ed. S. Gregg-
the bronze plaque, ox-team and covered wagon by Mr. Kregel.
For
the erection of this Marker, the first shovel of dirt was
removed by
~lrs. Luin Nuckolls Wesner, daughter of Heath Nuckolls, and
niece
of Stephen Frie~ Nuckolls. Until it was destroyed by vandals a
huge fountain stood in the center of the Park. The fountain
was
al}out 20 feet across. According to the description by ~lrs.
Fay
Forbes ~iiorp, who played in the park as a child. the center
pillar of the fountain was formed like a large tree trittik
about 8
feet lugli. On three sides of the base stood 3 cranes wifli
their
heads high, water spouting frotit their long beaks. This trunk
held up the first atid larger basin which was about 8 feet
across.
Aroutid the edge of it stood a border about 4 inches deep.
ornamented
at ititervals win' owl heads that dripped water down from
their
beaks. From this basin a portion of the tree arose again for
about
4 feet and supported a 2nd and smaller basin aroutid the edge
of which
the same owl desigu dripping water, was used. The tree rose
again
for about 3 feet and upon the very top stood a life-size crane
with
wings fully spread, its head held straight up and from a long
beak
came a vast, fine spray in which a rainbow often could be
seen."

City, Nebn, sent the above to Ruth Schoeller (Mrs. H. P.), 928
K Ave., Q-9, Palmdale, Calif.
Dr. George L. Miller, Nebraska's famous Omaha Editor, said of
lafayette Nuckolls: "He was a beardless boy of 20, bright
enough
but untamed, who owed his prominence to his brother, S. F.
Nuckolls,
one of the strongest and ablest men of business the South
Platte ever
has seen. Lafayette Nuckolls in the Assembly was more amusing
than influential and his youth of course was a handicap when it
came
to legislature influence. He was of full height with a fine
head, good
manners and a face as smooth as a baby's. Jolly and good

4 Dear Brother
I received yours March 19th while on my way to San
Francisco, I mailed a letter to Sister Sena, I was glad to hear from you, it amused me to
read it while on the Boat, to San Francisco, and called to mind my Native land, while
glideing down the beautiful stream of Petalurna Creek & across the Smoothe &
beautIful Bay of San Francisco - you compare the stormy weather which was passing over you
at the time of your writing to CM wether-& stern to think we have six months rain
& six months Drouth, now to disabuse your mind, I will say that we have less rain, (no
Snow or Sleet) in winter than you have there, or in other words we have more clear Sun
Shine through the winter months than you have there, The Thurmometer never rises higher
here in summer, than there, we wear as heavy clothing here in summer as in winter, except
when raining, we sleep under from 2 to 3 blankets winter & summer, no
portion of the world produces finer wheat, Corn, Potatoes, Barley, Oats, Rye, in fact
grains of all kinds, as for garden vegitables, I have raised Beets weighed 46 lb, Parsnips
that measured 3ft B in, Cabbage heads 25 to 30 lbs, Pumpkins, more than you Could Carry,
Turnips, I for a mess for a Family of 12, & Ml without irrigation, you will think it
strange, but, no stranger than true, our crops are some times Cut Short, for want of rain
here as it is there, we generally have a shower about this time of year, which forces out
the heads of the small grain, then we have heavy fogs, Something like you have there at
itight, which blows off about 8 or 9 oclocic, there is scarcely a day tliru the year that
we cant haul a load to market if we have it I have ground 2 sythes &
started the 2 oldest boys to mowing, we are still making Cheese, some 60 lbs
per day, I will take a load in tomorrow, the rest of the children are at school,
-I do not sit down to write you because it is snowing or that ~
have nothing else to do, for the sun is shining the day is pleasant, r have my hands full,
but I can always take time to write to a Friend, tho I fear I shall do injustice to myself
in this, from the fact that I am in a difficulty with one of my Neighbors about a 40 acres
of land, Lawsuits in this Country are very expensive, this was forced on me & I niust
see it through, I have no fear of losing the land, bitt, dread the Cost, - We are very
quiet here Politically our present Crops are not so flattering as last year I dunk I can
see a ray of light ahead for you rebbles, but you should be patient, obedient to the laws,
observing to keep your o'vn council, There was a judgment rendered against General ~kDoweI
(of Bull run notoriety) now of this state for false imprisonmint of one whom lie supposed
to be a rebel sympathiser, for the Stun of $6oo damages &

Dear Sister & Brother, it is with pleasure that I am
ab]e to inform you that we are all well & doing the best we can for our selves &
Country, we as you, had a favorable Fall the Grass started fluely, but, when the rains
did, sett in, the like I have never seen, I think when reported by the proper weather
Guage it wifl be found that wore wafter has filen 'his winier, than Sirice the settling of
Califoritia, yet we have had little or no loss of stock, I Comniencied about the 1st of
Feb. to make Glees; & have not missed a milking since,-I have sold near $2oo worth of
Cheese now1 & am just farly Cornmended, Cheese is worth from 14 to i6 ets per lb,
butter 30 to 35 cts per lb-we are now milking 32 Cows,- Vie make a little outside
with our Team, Yet it is hard to keep our heads out above water,
our land Claims are not sittled yet, Continual expence with Lawyers & Litigants, tho I
hope the day is dawning, unless we get into another War, The Telegraph brings us gloomy
news from \Vashington, our Legislature passed resilutions to Sutain the President, which
was forwarded by the Govenor, the Senate also passed resolutions sustaining Congress,
which the Govenor refused to fon~'ard, John, if you have any notioii of conung to this
Country, I would say to you that if you cait bring enough witli you to secure a Dairy
Ranch (or Farm as you Call it) & stock it with Cows you need not fear of a Comfortable
living, I came to Cal a $1000 worse than nothing in 1852 with my Fanuly, payilig
heavy interest on money I tiow have but little, Unless I get my lan(I - Tho I have
Supplied ~Iy Family, (a large one) with all necessaries & sonie of the Luxuries of
life, you know I was not very rugged in health, when I left lionie, & the Cli-mate of
Mo made it worse, yet I have weried along, til witiun a fe~v days I shall be 55 years of
age-When I look back it Seems to he but a few months ago, but, thus is life,- I am glad to
hear the last ~~aper I sent you, please(l you, it expresses my sentiments fully, our State
is disposed to do an iii its power now to anieliorate the cotidition of the South, - There
is an elinient in this State not Superior to the Negro in your state, which the same
doctrine, (Universal Brotherhood) would force on her Citezens, (Chinese) now the greatest
& first yelpers for the Negro, were those Hial knew the least about them, but
Synipathy, through, Abolistion Tracts & incendiary Novel tales, such as Uncle Tom's
Cabin &Cj &c, - I have got to see the first inteligent Northern man who has travel
thro the South,- made himself acquainted with the Negro, & the Institutions of flie
South but what were oppose to, (at least) social equality, our state is in favor of State
Soverenity as expressed in the Constitution, I hope for the best but fear you will not get
this, the avinues thro which this should pass may be Closed ere this gets half way to you,
I deplore the next Revolution, it will leave us (U S) like our Sister RepuNic (Mexico)
which is deplorable indeed I am glad to hear frotir any of you, I received a very kind
letter from Brother Thos. a Short tinie since & answered it, as I Uiot in flie same
Spirit, hope he will write again soon, also Cyrus is debted to me, Creed, is behind time,
Clark does not write atalt you always speak of some old Friend or acquaintance in your
litters, which gives pain or pleasure, just as the Case may be Concerning them not because
of your writing, but of the thing Concerning them, Every thing pertaining to the People
& Country there is yet fresh in my mind, if I could be at a Public patering, there I
could recognize at a great distance many old familiar Faces (Probily bug since in the
grave) Now it seenis to Inc that I would know you or Sister Patsy, eitlter a foot or
horseback � mile off, John, I have just got through with Cheese a bottt 6o ll)s � past
Ir, .\ ~l, dinerier near ready going to Petaltima toniorro~v ~vitlt Cheese to Sell, roads
nitiddy, 5 ijijles distant to Petattium, exctise this as tl~ere are niany blotches &
onusions, but rend CarefLdly & relileinber who it is from, you cant fail to get the
Spirit & jist of what, I wished to say- I recollect ~vell when there was a proposition
of the Legislature or Va to amend the Coi~stittition or that State wl~iclt proj)osition
was subniitted to the whole People of the State & Win Oglesby was Elected as a ddegate
from our District to the Convention - I understand that whell tile Constitution of the U
S, his to be ~tered or amended should be treated in the Same way, We, i e the People in
this State have not liecti Called on to Vote on the amendment or alteration of the
Constitution of the U S, I do not thitik it can becom a law until � of all tIle States
pass upon it & in favor of it, Mob la~v may rule for a time, but let us hope for the
better - q'he Grand Army of the Republic is straining its utniost nerves here Receive the
best wishes of my self & Family) for yourself & Family & Friends generally

Dear Prother your very ititerestiug letter of the 2n(l tilt conic
to haud yesterday eveniug. (I never wait for GabrCPs Hor~i,) I scarcely know how to
interest ',oti, from the fact that you know l)l[t little about our state or
Climate, & to give you an idea of it would tal~e a Volun of Fools Cap3 we have passed
through a very extraot-dii;ary season, we had an abundance Of rain, tlto [10 great
fresliet, iii the vallies, the rain seemed to sink in the ground, hut dried on top as fast
as it sank & when you started your plow it was hard on top btit soft below, &
broke up in large Clods, consequently our cro~~s was short, but prices have ruled uglier,
Four 5. d 5% per bl)I (20()lhs) Corn I % per lb we sell here by tTie pound & not by
the bushel our state seems to iniprove iii ~Iorality not withstanding we have a Population
nuxed up from all parts of the 200 rid the Sw fts arc takinig the lead iii the Dairy
busiiiess & are very quiet Citizeus, bys land & Cows, takes the oath of alegicance
to our Gounuert & become voters, & nearly all vote the Republican ticket, The
Clunanian Comes here to make money & return to China, taking every cenfl lie can get
back with him They are a very treacherous Class of people3 wors than the Negros of the South
Oh; how are you getting aloug with the Negroes on Electiotis
tunes P1070 I was never opposed to giving the Negro his freedom in a proper
way, but bitterly oposed to giving thim the Ballot & making them an equal with the
Caucasion rase for all they have, they owe it to Slavery they are now Canables in their
own Country Johit in your letter to me you mentioned ilieny names that I was
familiar with, \\Tilliam Bonn, Elms Lundy, Rachael Lunday, & Payton Hale is your
Deinacratic State Senator, lie was a Smart little boy when I knew Ititii.
J olin I am very sorry that the Republicans &
Dernacrats are mixing tip, Detitacracy meaus government by the People, Republicanism is
Only the shadow of Deiti~cracy, & they are runiung after it to get ati office, &
when they get it, it is to fill their own pockets, See what they have done Since they have
been in flo;&'cr, just doubled their Saitirics Excuse tile I ~iii
spreaditig out in polittics. Please give my respects to John Dickersous, (I think lie has
forgotten me) TIo I have not forgotten him I aiii glad to hear you are going to get New
l(iver navigable to the ~[outh of Wilson Creek, I dotit know what yott will do, you will
have to build a Ferry boat to get over to Old
'roicri, unless the Steam Boat Co puts on a
bridge or ferry boat, if all the old fords ~vill be deepened so that you cant ford it
horse hack, John, I have jotted (lowil a few lines just as they occured to me, I must say
in conclusion, that you & I are passing a way according to the laws of Nature 1 have
not l)een able to ride horse back for the last 3 years, but still al)le to get around the
Ranch & keep things ~Oing, niy limbs dont work like they used to. I am as Ever Yours

congregation might savor each word and let the true meaning come to them through reverent
attention. He told the church people not to feel bad if they stumbled over
pronunciation once in a while, but warned them not to skip
any word. The church's unique Biblethon started at

]ines . . . the author himself is one of the old pioiieer families who, by their courage
and stalwart virtues, made Southwestern Virginia the garden spot of the world -' The land
of the free, and the home of the brave.' The book is a recital of facts - a garner for
prese~ing for posterity, a history of the brave doings of the men and women of the
generations goiie by . . . will be read by this aud coming generations, not only in the
happy homestead, the lulls aud valleys of Southwestern Virginia, but in many otlier
states, . ..in the far off western plains will read with thrilling interest story after
story of the early days of their fathers and grandfathers who felled the forest and drove
the wolves and bears from their lurking dens, and built their log cabins by the spring.
The springs of laughing waters are still there, but the log cabins of tile pioneers are
gone- and beautiful homesteads, waving harvests and lowing herds tell of the comfort and
good cheer of the country. The ramshackle school house, in which the children learned
tlieir A B C's in die years long gone, are replaced with academies and high schools of
architectural taste and adapted to educational purposes. And instead of die log cabin or
humble private home of the settlers in which the 'circuit-rider' used to conduct divine
services, now the � church-going-bell' in every neighborhood calls the people to worship
in elegant houses o[ worship.

A meniorial sketch prepared by friends and published in the June
30, 1952, issue of the Cleveland Daily Banner follows: "MrL
Johnston was a women of unusual intellectual attainments and deep
religious convictions. She was endowed with qualities that
inerited recogiution in every organization of which she was a part Her life shone with
radiant force in the promotion of the better things of life, the civic, religious and
cultural things of the community.
107
I.; f:$s
Her contribution to the religious life of the city
cannot be overestimated. She has been a leader in the Sunday School and the Nvomen's
organizations of Broad Street Methodist Church (the former M. K Church, South) since
comuig to Cleveland awid was teacher of tite Johnston Sunday School Class in the Church
for almost a quarter of a century.
Mrs. Johnston was a charter member of the
Cleveland Woman's Club and has given her time and thought to the protitotion of flie
interest of the Club throughout the years. Site has been active in the patriotic
organizations of this city and of the state She was a member or the Nashville Chapter
Number 7 Colonial Danies; an active member of the Tennessee Society, Daughters of 1812,
and was for many years a state officer in that organization. She was a charter member of
Occee Chapter, Daughters of the Atuerican Revolution, and held many local and state
offices in the society asid was chaplain of the local chapter at the time of her death. A
true daughter of the Old South, she was instrumental in the organization of Jefferson
Davis Chapte; United Daughters of the Confederacy, almost half a century ago and has been
on the executive board since its organization. She served as chapter president five ternis
with a total of 15 years in that office. Site was chaplain, chapter couns&or, honorary
president for life of Jefferson Davis Chapter, and honorary president for life of the
Tennessee Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Johnston's life ~vas well spent. Her
gentleness, her constant thought for others and her fine Christian character endeared her
to all who knew her. ~er passing was like the removal of a lamp that gives light to all of
the house."

From: Pioneer Settlers of Grayson Coics~ty, Virginia, by H.
F. Nuckolls. Among the household goods of William Botanic was a "Grandfather"
Clock, a sketch of which is given below:
TIlE OLD BOURNE CLOCK
This clock was brought to what is now Graysori Cotinty, Va', about
the year 1770. This 'vas the first clock that was brought to tliis upper part of the New
River Valley, and was the property of William Bourne and his wif; Rosa Jones. After the
death of William Bourne ar d hk wife (1836), it passed into the hands of Stephen Bourne,
their sort; from him to his son, Martin Bourne; from him to his son, Montgomery Bourne;
trout hini to Bcnj. Floyd Nuckolls( great gran~son of Wuhani Boume and wife; and from him
to his dau. Ruth Nuckolls Johustob; from her to her dais. Mary Ruth Johnston Speck,
Annaridale Park, Clereltrid, ~WxL The clock is running and keeping~correct time, in this
the year of
io8
[05
'956. It is made of the best material, and tile case and works
show the ingenuity and taste of an honest workman.
The case of the clock is made of mahogany and stands eight feet,
three inches from the floor to the tip of the central brass knob oii top of die clock The
trimmings are of brass, and there are rows of different colored blocks of wood inlaid
around die case.
The wheels and pendulum are of brass, and the weights are cast
iron. It is an eight-day clock, and is wound with a brass key.
There is no date on the clock but it was brought to Grayson County
about the year of 1770. The following is copied from a card that was tacked inside the
case when the clock arrived in
Grayson:
Common House Clocks, Table Spring Clocks. Time
Pieces of different Constructions.
Made By
AARON WJLLARD

Directions for fitting up die clock:
First, plumb up the case and hang on the pendulum and wei~its
observing fliat die heaviest weight be put on flie pulley marked " S." Wind up
the lines on the barrels, taking care that diey~run regularly in die grooves, then put the
pendulum in motion.
To make it go faster, screw the petidulum up; slower, screw down.
On the face of die clock is the following:

AUNT MAY ANDERSON
The passing of � ' Miss May '~ Anderson brings
nincli reitimiscence to those of us who knew Galax in its extreme youth.
3liss May was always in the forefront in those
days. A busy mother with a house full of children, she always had time to
participate in every movement to better opportunities for her brood. Nobody ever heard her
ex~ain that her home duties were so demanding she would have to be excused. She was ~ways
at the meetings of the Civic rmprovement League and the PTA, the two organizations
responsible for starting Galax on its road out of the era of deskless school rooms and
niud puddles for sidewaucs.
The chief characteristic of Miss May was her
undying optimism and her sincere cheerfulness. Her charity reached such extremes that no
one doubted stie would go litrugry herself, if need be, rather than turn a deaf ear to the
suffering of others.
A visit with Mrs. Anderson was an experience that
removed all doubt in the mind of the visitor that God was in his heaven and all was well
with the world. Troubles came, crises developed, progress seemed to be up against a blank
wall but her optuhisni an(l 'icr faith never faltered. Her coiIvensat}ori was aii
inspiration arid her insight into flie shallowness of superficial things unique in a world
that wns pursuing profit and pleasure beyond the capacity of its people.
She loved life as she experienced it arid wrested
from it alt the satisfaction that went along with serving her family, her conirnunity and
her God far beyond tire limits niost people set for the capacity of one individual.
Mrs. Anderson gave much to the world in which she
live] and asked l�ttle in return. She was of tire breed of real pioneers who re[used to
accept the fact that isolation and poverty were the destihy of her adopted home. More than
anything else the faith and determination of her group were the driving power that brought
Galax out of the woods.
She had suffered long and patiently through her
latter years and well earned the rest that is assured for such souls when she crossaf the
border between time and Eternity.

in 1930 he was picked by Collier's Magazine as an All-American Quarterback. W. A. (Bill)
Alexander hired Dodd off the Tennessee campus to be Tech Backfield Coach in 1931. In
addition to his grid duties, young Bobby was also Varsity Baseball Coach and Freshman
Basketball Coach. Dodd served 14 years under Alexander and during that time was
instrumental in making Tech's offense one of the most colorful and effective in the Nation
