Mt. Tabor church was the scene of a beautiful marriage on
Wednesday, December 21st, 1898, at 6:30 o'clock p.m. The Church was
brightly lighted.
Miss Anna STEM, of Stem, accompanied by Mr. Willie GOOCH, of
Stem, marched up the aisle and as Miss Anna played the march the
ushers, Messrs. Weldon BULLOCK and Elvin JONES, of Stem, Sammie
MANGUM and Edgar VEASEY, of Hampton, followed by the waiters, Miss
Lizzie MANGUM, of Hampton, with Eugene UMSTEAD, of Knap of Reeds;
Miss Texanna GOOCH, with Eddie MOIZE, both of Stem; Miss Coza JONES
with Tommie GOOCH, both of Stem; Miss Marie HATCHER, of Selma, with
Davie HALL, oflngleside; Miss Annie PARRISH, of Umbra, with Mr.
Lyndover COZART, of Hampton. Then came the beautiful bride, Miss
Lida COZART, with Miss Maggie HALL as maid of honor, and were met
at the alter by the groom, Mr. J. S. BISHOP, with Mr. Marvin BISHOP
as best man, and there they were united as one, Rev. M. A ADAMS, of
Lyon, officiating.
After the marriage was over the bride and groom accompanied by
most of the waiters went to Mr. and Mrs. Will ALLEN's, near Stem,
where they spent a few hours of enjoyment.
We hope that they may be crowned with happiness through their
future lives and be very successful and all their "darkest clouds
have silver linings".

Reunion of the Descendants of Spencer R. O'Brian Oxford Public
Ledger, September 8, 1925
By: Judge A . W Graham
Situated in a beautiful grove of magnificent white oaks, a short
distance west of the public highway from Stem to Berea, is the
homestead of the later Spencer A. O'BRIAN, which in the partition
of his estate was allotted to his daughter, Mrs. Julia Gertrude
PARROTT, the wife of E.W. PARROTT. There Mr. and Mrs. PARROTT live
with nine of their children, two of the older sons having chosen
their life partners and set up establishments of their own.
A happy thought occurred to some members of the O'BRIAN clan,
that it would be well to have a reunion at the old home of the
O'BRIAN'S, descendants of Spencer R. O'BRIAN, the grand old soldier
and Christian gentleman, so invitations were sent to all and with
few exceptions were accepted, all welcoming the opportunity to meet
again under the old roof tree where they were reared, under the
noble Christian influence of Mr. O'BRIAN and his consecrated
wife.
Mr. O'BRIAN was a remarkable man in his day, wounded at Malvern
Hill, Chancellorsville, Winchester and leaving a leg on the
battlefield of Cedar Run, he was taken to a northern prison and at
the close of the war, he was paroled and came home, as most of our
boys did, without a dollar in the world. By his industry and
integrity he made a comfortable living with the aid of his devoted
wife, and raised a large family of children and at the time of his
death his estate was estimated to be worth nearly $20,000. He
attended all the wood-choppings and barn-raisings in the community
and it was said of him that, not withstanding the handicap of
having but one leg, no man could carry up the comer of a tobacco
barn and fit the logs more rapidly and neatly than Spencer O'BRIAN.
He was an active and devoted member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and
a man of strict integrity.
It is no wonder, then, that the sterling qualities of father and
mother were instilled into that large assembly of children,
grandchildren and great, grandchildren, who assembled at the old
homestead on Sunday, the 30th day of August, 1925, to live over
again the good old days when they were young, and to hear the
reminiscences of the older heads of how things were done in the
days of long ago.
In addition to the descendants of Mr. and Mrs. O'BRIAN, we were
fortunate enough in having Miss Nannie CURRIN, 78 years old; Mr.
Richard H. CURRIN, 76 years old; Mr. Amos CURRIN, 70 years old; and
Mrs. Amos CURRIN, sisters and brothers of Mrs. O'BRIAN, who could
give the younger generations much information about how things were
done before and during the war.
A most beautiful picnic dinner was spread on long tables under
the beautiful oaks in the yard and the way in which it disappeared
was proof positive that Spencer O'BRIAN did not leave a race of
dyspeptics behind him. In fact the temptation to-over-indulgence
was never greater. A more delicious, abundant repast was never
served, and it was a beautiful tribute to the excellent housewives
who furnished it.
The writer has, in his time, attended many such happy occasions,
but he has never seen a happier, more joyous, more wholesome set of
young people in all his wanderings, and he could
79 GCGC 1746 Inc., 2000
-
not help thinking how fortunate the young man would be who could
induce any one of those glad-hearted beautiful girls to share her
life with him.
In addition to the various members of the family and other
relatives, numbering more than 75, there were more than 32 friends
and neighbors invited to share the festivities of the occasion, and
how much they appreciated it was shown by the lateness of the hour
when the party broke up and wended their ways to their several
homes.
A list of all the descendants of Mr. and Mrs. O'BRIAN was taken,
those who were present and those who were absent, from unavoidable
causes, or who had passed away. It was found that there were of his
children and their wives present 11, and 2 absent, and 3 had
preceded him to the grave. Of his grandchildren, 11 were present, 3
were unavoidably detained, 3 being in Canada, and 8 had gone to
meet him on ''that beautiful shore". Of his great-grandchildren, 9
were present, making a total of the descendants and their wives and
husbands of77. Of his own children, one and his wife were absent
and two had died in infancy.
Descendants of Spencer R. O'BRIAN and Mary Frances Currin
O'BRIAN, his wife, present at the reunion, at the old homestead,
Sunday August 30th, 1925:
Cornelia CRITCHER and Robert T. CRITCHER, her husband. Annie, 31
years old, Louis DANIEL, her husband, son of J. Robt. DANIEL. James
DANIEL, 10 years old. Samuel DANIEL, 9 years old. U Cornelia Hannah
DANIEL. Samuel CRITCHER, died at 12 years of age. Gertrude
CRITCHER, died at 3 years of age. Robert Henry CRITCHER, 27 years
old, now in Canada, not married. William Spencer CRITCHER, 25 years
old, lives with parents, not married. Myrtle, 23 years old, and her
husband Crawford WILLIFORD, son ofL. T. WILLIF.ORD. Frances, 22
years old and her husband, Maynard DANIEL, son of C. W. DANIEL.
* ** * ******** * *********** * ************************** How
to Figure a Birthdate
Remember this number 8870
This is not an error: It is the number to remember when you want
to find the birthdate of someone when you only have the date of
death and age. How do you figure the birthdate?
Suppose the person died May 6, 1889, at the age of71 years, 7
months, 9 days. 1. Write the year, month, day as : 18890506 2.
Subtract the age at death: 710709 3. This gives the figure:
18179797 4. Now subtract 8870: 8870 5. The result is: 18170927 Year
1817, 9th month (Sept), 27th day or 27 Sept. 1817

James Theodore Cheatham Oxford Public Ledger, April 6, 1906
This Good Citizen Passed Away Last Thursday Morning
In contrast to the rule of primogeniture, which prevails in
England, it has often been said the land in this country rarely
remains in the same family for three generations. A striking
exception to this rule is the beautiful CHEA THAM homestead,
situated four miles east of Oxford on the waters of Popular Creek,
which was settled by James CHEATHAM in the 18th century and has
been owned by the family for nearly 150 years. From this house have
gone out men and women who have exerted an influence for good in
church and state, not only in this state but in far distant states.
Of all those none were more worthy than James Theodore CHEA THAM,
son of James CHEA THAM, the second, and his wife Rececca CREWS were
born the 10th day of August, 1844. Of a bright, sunny disposition,
under the teaching of a saintly mother amid the happy surroundings
of his ancestral home he grew up to manhood with high ideals and
with a full appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of
life.
At the age of seventeen he volunteered for the defense of his
country in the great civil war, and enlisted in Co. G. 30th Reg.
N.C.T. which was considered one of the best regiments in all the
gallant land of Southern heroes. Being a splendid shot he was soon
assigned to the sharpeshooter corp of the brigade. Firm of purpose,
cheerful under privation and hardship he was never known to
complain; brave as the bravest he made an ideal soldier. He
participated in the battles around Richmond, Sharpesburg,
Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, and on the faithful field of
Gettysburg, was severely wounded by a piece of shell that had
already passed through the body of his Lieut. Colonel. As he could
not be moved he was captured by the enemy and taken to Elmira, New
York, where so many Southern boys, unable to stand the rigors of a
northern climate and the hardship of prison, yielded up their
lives.
But his temperate life, cheerful disposition and good
constitution brought him up and enabled him to withstand all
privations until the war ended. He reached home in June 1865, and
found conditions greatly changed since he marched so gaily away in
1862. But nothing daunted he went diligently to work to help build
up the waste places, and make a support for the loved ones, and
soon became known as one of the best farmers in the county. His
intelligent conduct of the farm shows what can be done with
Granville County land, and is an incentive to all young men who may
wish to make their living by cultivation of the soil.
On the first day of December 1868 he married Miss Elizabeth
HAMLIN, of Petersburg, Va., and their lives certainly furnished a
complete refutation of the latter day slander that marriage was a
failure. No more shining exemplification of the beauties of a
christian home can be found that what furnished by the lives of Mr.
CHEA THAM and his devoted wife. Hospitable, kind and generous, a
warm welcome was extended to friend and stranger alike and all who
came within the benign influence of that happy home could see and
feel that their lives were guided by some fixed purpose, and that
their vision was not circumscribed by earthly things.
In their children they were peculiarly blessed, never having had
a case of serious sickness in the family, and all ten of them
living today useful citizens of the State and members of the
church.
81 GCGC 1746 Inc., 2000
-
Virginus and Charles Hamlin, both excellent farmers; Clifton B.,
a remarkably successful dealer r) in tobacco in Louisburg; James
Theodore CHEATHAM, Jr., is equally successful in the \. , growing
market of Apex; and Sarah, wife of Percy PARHAM; Rebecca, wife of
Samuel F. FEREBEE, merchant and farmer of Pamlico county; Miss Mary
L. CHEA THAM, of Norfolk; Miss Olivia B. CHEA THAM, of Clyde, and
Missie G. and Tazzie being with their mother at the old
homestead.
Mr. CHEATHAM never aspired to political honors, but he was well
informed on all matters of public interest, and had positive
convictions upon the issues. He believed it the duty of all good
citizens to take an active interest in politics, and could always
be found at his township and county conventions advocating men and
measures that he believed would conduce to temperance and good
government.
About Christmas, 1906, he was taken sick, and soon realized that
his days were numbered. He lingered for many weeks and give an
exhibition of patience and christian fortitude we have never seen
surpassed. Though at times suffering severely, he never gave to
repining, but bore up bravely, and was always tender and
considerate towards his devoted wife and children who did all that
human love and affection could suggest for his comfort, praying a
divine father to spare him to them a little while longer. Death had
no terrors for him. Early in life he had made his peace with God
and when about 16 years of age he joined the Methodist church at
Hermon, where he was for many years a steward, and about 20 years
ago he moved his membership to the Oxford church, of which he was
soon after elected a steward and remained so up to the time of his
death.
With than same quiet nerve with which he had faced the King of
Terrors on the battlefield he calmly awaited his approach and at
8:45 o'clock on Thursday morning, March 29, 1906, with his loved
ones around him he "fell on sleep", assured of"the rest that
remaineth for the people of God".
On the afternoon of the 30th the funeral services were held at
the home by Rev. F. M. SHAMBERGER, his beloved pastor, amid a large
assemblage of relatives and friends, and his body was laid to rest
at the side of his father and at the feet of his grandfather in the
family burial ground.
The honorary pallbearers were Prof F. P. HOBGOOD, A W. GRAHAM,
M. H. HESTER, George W. WRIGHT, W. A PARHAM and James B. BELCHER,
and the active pallbearers were: Dr. E. T. WHITE, L. B. TURNER,
John H. BULLOCK, R. L. BROWN, W. T. DA VIS, James T. COZART, James
A BELCHER and W. Z. MITCHELL.

????????????????????????????????????????
For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade
teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his
house. One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of
the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but he
made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about
the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and
said, "Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister
you were () expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and
confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"

23rd Psalm for Genealogists
Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray It maketh me to lie
down and examine tombstones It leadeth me into still courthouses ()
It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge It leadeth me in the paths of
census records and ships' passenger lists for my surnames' sake
Yea, though I walk through the shadows of research libraries and
microfilm readers I shall fear no discouragement, for a strong urge
is within me The curiosity and motivation, they comforteth me It
demandeth preparation of storage space for the acquisition of
countless documents It anointest my head with burning midnight oil
My family group sheets runneth over Surely, birth, marriage, and
death dates shall follow me all the days of my life And I shall
dwell in the house of a family history-seeker forever.

A family decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their
children and grandchildren. They hired a fine author. Only one
problem arose - how to handle that great-uncle George, who was
executed in the electric chair.
The author said he could handle the story tactfully. The book
appeared. It said "Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied
electronics at an important government institution, was Q attached
to his position by the strongest of ties, and his death came as a
great shock." .... .. .... . copied

Epidemics in U.S. - 1657 - 1918 Information obtained from the
Internet from the South Bend, IN Area Genealogical Society
April, 1996
Epidemics have always had a great influence on people - and thus
influencing, as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many
cases of people disappearing from records can be traced to dying
during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of
the major epidemics in the United States are listed below:
1657 1687 1690 1713 1729 1732-33 1738 1739-40 1747 1759 1760-61

Thoughts on Genealogy
Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people.
I trace my family history so I will know who to blame.
Can a first cousin, once removed, return?
Searching for lost relatives? Win the lottery!
Do I even WANT ancestors?
Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the
living.
Every family tree has some sap in it.
Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.
Genealogists never die, they just lose their roots.
Genealogy: A haystack full of needles. It's the threads I
need.
Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like
fools .
I think my family tree is a few branches short of full
bloom.
Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all
related.

Ship Ahoy! - Dropping into a Hotel the other day up street, to
take a glass of -----Ice water-------( for we never drink strong
beverage - only when we feel like it)- our eyes chanced to meet
with the first number of a neatly printed paper entitled the
"Oxford Mercury", published by Dr. W. E. Wright, and edited by C.
H. Wiley, Esq., a young gentleman of the Bar, whose talents bid
fair to class him with the most distinguished writers and debaters
in this country. Mr. Wiley is a graduate of the University of North
Carolina, where he gained for himself many bright laurels for (J
his classic lore. We recognise in the Editor of the ''Mercury" an
ability to cope with the ablest Editors. -Milton Chronicle.

Wilton Whisperings Public Ledger, January 5, 1899
The com crop is not as good as was expected.
Mr. H.B. JENKINS, of Nash county, spent a few days with us
recently.
The Banks people are glad to have Rev. G. B. PERRY as their
preacher another year.
Mr. C. D. MORRIS has recently covered his granery and stables
with steel roofing.
Miss Ann Christian LYON, of Creedmoor, visited relatives, and
friends around Wilton recently.
Glad to say Leo has recovered from the shock of Nov. 8th and is
able to whisper again.
Leo is sorry to state that Miss Elsie LAWRENCE, who has been
affiicted so long, does not improve very fast.
Our people want the grape vine telegraph re-established so we
can have connection with the outside world.
The many friends of Mrs. L. B. FREEMAN sympathize with her in
her sad affiiction. She has been bed ridden for about twelve
months.
Our wide awake merchant and miller, J. W. HARRIS, is
contemplating moving to Norfolk, Va., to carry on a larger business
and a syndicate is being formed to rent or purchase his outfit at
Wilton.
Messrs. R. W. HARRIS and J. W. FLOYD are cutting our shucks, pea
vines, etc., with a steam cutter. Dr. J. A. and Mr. C. D. MORRIS
had a large quantity of food cut. It occupied the large No. 16 Ohio
cutter all of one day.
We are in the middle of hog killing. Mrs. A. MORRIS, two, 426,
376; C. D. MORRIS, two, 365, 340; E.G. MORRIS, seven averaging 200;
J. W. FLOYD, five averaging 216; W. P. LYON, six at eleven months
old averaging 177, etc., etc.
A few Saturdays ago while Mr. A. P. OVERTON, clerk for Mr. T. L.
CANNADY, was out a negro boy entered the window of the store and
captured about $25. He was chased by Mr. Taz BLACKLEY and threw
part of the money in the comer of a fence and took to the woods.
Seventeen dollars of the money was recovered.
Christmas has come and gone and the little folk enjoyed a visit
from Santa Claus who came laden with nice things. Seeing them caper
and enjoy the toys, etc., that Santa brought carried us back to
long years ago when we did just as our little ones do now. Let them
enjoy the present for soon, ah! soon, they will be cumbered with
the cares of life. A happy new year to the editor and
correspondents.

Census Taker
It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The
pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse
for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close
by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward
the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air.
The woman was tired, with lines on her face; And wisps of brown
hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as
they sat at the table; And she answered his questions .. . the best
she was able. He asked of her children ... Yes, she had quite a
few; The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two.
She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she
whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived
there with pride; And she.felt the faint stirrings of the wee one
inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age ... The marks from the
quill soon filled up the page.
At the number of children, she nodded her head; And saw her lips
quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never
forgot"; Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon .. . or not? They came
from Scotland, of that she was clear; But she wasn't quite sure
just how long they'd been here.
They spoke of employment, of schooling and such; They could read
some and write some .. though really not much. When the questions
were answered, his job there was done; So he mounted his horse and
he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and
clear; "May God bless you all for another ten years."
Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me; As we search
for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and
scroll down so slow; As we search for that entry from long, long
ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day; That the entries
they made would affect us this way?
If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel; And the
searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we
listen the words they impart; Through their blood in our veins and
their voice in our heart

The Way to a Happy New Year
To leave the old with a burst of song; To recall the right and
forgive the wrong;
To forget the things that bind you fast To the vain regrets of
the year that's past; To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worth while of the days grown old; To dare go forth
with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that new; To help your brother
along the road,
To do his work and lift his load; To add your gift to the
world's good cheer, Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.
