The Daily DispaTch A Guide for Newcomers 2011 — 2012 3

Welcome home!Are there two sweeter

words? Whether you’ve been gone away for months or just had a long day at the office, “Welcome home” means you’re back among friends. You’re in safe sur-roundings.

Hopefully, you know that feeling of being welcomed home. And hopefully, that’s the feeling you have now that you’ve decided to call the Tri-County area your home.

You are now among friendly folks. The people who call Vance, Granville and Warren counties their

home are among the great-est people you’ll ever meet. And opportunities abound for you to find a job or find a place to relax — whatever your desires may be.

The advertisers in this Newcomer’s Guide and our staff at The Daily Dispatch want to make your move to Henderson, Oxford, War-renton, or any of the other smaller communities in our area a smooth process.

Therefore, we have at-tempted to gather for you the vital information you need to get your lights, gas, water and telephone ser-vices turned on; to get your

driver’s license; to contact your child’s new school; and do so much more.

In this guide, you’ll find information on the history of the community and fa-mous people from our area.

We have a list of church-es that are eager to welcome you to their congregations. You’ll also find information about health care, cultural opportunities, restaurants and other activities in the Tri-County area.

We’ve attempted to cover as much as we could in this space, but don’t forget that part of the excitement of moving to a new area is dis-

covering as much as you can for yourself. If you discover something you think should be included in the next edition of the Newcomer’s Guide, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

You’ll notice that the ad-vertisers in this guide cover an ever-larger area beyond the Tri-County, including Franklin County and south-side Virginia.

We thank all of our ad-vertisers for their support of the guide, and we encour-age you to support them as the ones who can provide the goods and services you need while making your

home in this area.You’ll run into folks who

were born here and have lived here all their lives, others who have just re-cently moved in, and some who left for a while and have come back. Whether you were born here and are returning or you are arriv-ing for the first time, we invite you to make this your hometown.

After you get settled in, we encourage you to get involved and to join us in making our communities even better places to live!

Our best to you and yours!

Tri-County bids welcome to our new neighbors

A3 B&W

Originally a part of the state of Virginia, the Tri-County area became a part of the state of Carolina when King Charles II of England redefined the state lines in 1665.

Granville County was formed in 1746 and named in honor of John Carteret, the Earl of Granville, who owned the Granville District.

Today, Granville County is bounded by Vance, Wake, Durham and Person coun-ties, in addition to the state of Virginia. The present land area of the county is 530 square miles and the estimated population in 2009

was 57,639. The first county seat was called Granville Court House, but in 1748, the location became unsatis-factory. It was ordered that the courthouse be located on a branch of the Tar River called Tabb’s Creek. Oxford become the county seat in 1811 and was incorporated in 1816.

Warren County was formed in 1779 and named in honor of Joseph Warren, a soldier from Massachu-setts who fell while fighting at Bunker Hill. Today, the county is bounded by North-hampton, Halifax, Franklin and Vance counties, in addi-

tion to the state of Virginia. The present land area is 428 square miles and the estimated population in 2009 was 19,425.

The act establishing the county specified that the first court be held at the courthouse of Bute. It also provided that subsequent courts were to be held at a place decided upon by the justices of the peace until a courthouse could be erected. Commissioners were named to select a site at the center of the county, purchase land and have the courthouse, prison and the stocks erected. In 1779, another act was

passed establishing War-renton.

This act provided that the courts were to be held at the home of Thomas Christ-mas until the courthouse was built. Warrenton is the county seat.

As the area now known as Vance County prospered in the mid-to-late 1800s, the idea of creating a separate county surfaced. After origi-nal legislative efforts to name the new county as “Gilliam” and later as “Dortch” failed, the N.C. General Assembly established Vance County on May 5, 1881. The act directed the county commissioners to

select a site in Henderson for the erection of the court-house.

Vance County was formed from parts of Granville, War-ren and Franklin counties. It was named in honor of Zebu-lon Baird Vance, a member of Congress, governor of North Carolina and a United States senator.

Vance County is bounded by Warren, Franklin and Granville counties, along with the state of Virginia. The present land area is 244 square miles and the estimated population in 2009 was 43,056. Henderson is the county seat.

License plates

When moving to North Carolina from another state, you must register your motor vehicle at the expiration of the time granted by reciprocity

agreements between North Carolina and your prior state of residence (usually 30 days) or when gainful employment is accepted, whichever occurs first. Out-of-state residents moving to North Carolina should obtain a North Carolina driver’s license prior to registering a vehicle.

To register your motor vehicle, you must furnish the state’s Division of Mo-tor Vehicles with the title (unless the title is in the possession of a lienholder) and a valid registration card from the state of prior registration.

All new residents of the state must pay a title fee of $35 and a registration fee of $20 for private passen-ger automobiles in order to obtain a license plate and validation decals.

License plate fees for other types of vehicles are based upon plate classifica-tion.

When registering a ve-hicle where the title is held by a lienholder (usually a bank or finance company), you must furnish the lienholder’s name and ad-dress. The Division of Motor Vehicles will provide a form to be mailed to the lien-holder requesting release of the title for North Carolina registration purposes. All liens must be declared in the order of their priority.

After registering your vehicle and paying the ap-propriate fees at any license plate agency, you will be as-sisted in applying for a cer-tificate of title, registration plate (validation stickers

showing month and year of expiration) and a registra-tion card. The registration card must be carried in the vehicle at all times, and the license plate must be dis-played as required by law.

For vehicle registration purposes, state law requires you to furnish the Division of Motor Vehicles your resi-dential address.

You may use a post office box address in addition to the physical location of your residence.

Schools in all three area counties are focused on providing students with a meaningful educational ex-perience that prepares them for the challenges of the 21st century.

Vance County Schools

Vance County public schools are working on ensuring progress in statewide end-of-grade testing scores and student writing by mak-ing staff development a focal point.

Faculty members have spent time in workshops to make sure teachers — and students — are on the same page, ensuring the student learning is on target with the N.C. Standard Course of Study. The focus is on helping children who are below grade level as well as those who

are high performers. Those needing to register new children for school should contact the school in their district. If you are not sure which district you reside in, contact the Vance County Schools central office at this number: (252) 492-2127.

HendersonHenderson is named for

Leonard Henderson, who was Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court and son of Judge Rich-ard Henderson, known as the father of the state’s law schools. The current popu-lation of Henderson about 16,000.

KittrellWhen the railroad was

built around 1838, George Kittrell gave the land for the station. He refused the honor of having the station named for himself, but gave the honor to his young son. Kittrell is the resting place of 52 Civil War soldiers from the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. All of the soldiers buried in the cemetery died at the Kittrell Springs Hotel where they were treated dur-ing the war.

Townsville

First called Lynesville in recognition of the fact that James Lyne had a store between the railroad and the Episcopal church, Townsville received its current name when the Roanoke railroad was built around 1855. Joseph Townes of Montpelier donated land for the station, which was named in his honor.

Williamsboro

The Indians in the area originally named the Wil-

liamsboro area “The Lick,” meaning a good hunting or meeting place. So many hazelnuts were found along a nearby stream bank that it was named “Nutbush” in early colonial records. In 1772, Judge John Williams of Montpelier gave the land to his son-in-law, Col. Robert Burton, who changed the name to Williamsboro in honor of the judge.

Epsom

Epsom sits in the southern edge of Vance County on the Vance/Franklin county line. For many years, the area was called Duke’s Store since Simon W. Duke had a store there. The local residents decided to ask that the store be designated as a post office. Other nearby places already had “Duke” in the name, so another name was needed. Talking in the store one day, a local physician noticed a package of Epsom salts on the shelf. “Let’s name it Epsom,” he said, “as the word means ‘healthy,’ and this place is so healthy.”

Oxford

Samuel Benton was Granville County’s represen-tative to the State Assembly in 1761 when he purchased 1,000 acres of land and built a plantation home known as “Oxford.” In 1764, the As-sembly ordered that the area be known as the county seat and Benton gave one acre of land where the courthouse was to be built. Not until 1811 did the Assembly give

authorization for the county to purchase 50 additional acres around the courthouse from Thomas Littlejohn, and begin to lay out the town and sell lots. The town was incorporated in 1816. The current population of the town is 8,600.

StovallStovall is the heart of rural

Granville County. The town lies about 10 miles north of Oxford and 10 miles south of Clarksville, Va. Originally called Sassafras Fork, the town was situated along the Seaboard Railroad line. It was named for John W. Stovall who gave the railroad the right-of-way.

Warrenton

During the fourth year of the American Revolution, the town of Warrenton was established by the North Carolina Provincial Con-gress. Warrenton has a rich revolutionary and antebel-lum history which is well preserved. Many homes have been beautifully restored. The Warrenton Academy was chartered in 1786, the Falkener School for Ladies in 1800, and the Mordecai School in 1809, making Warrenton a hub of early educational activity in the area. The town’s population is 800.

MaconMacon is the smallest

incorporated town in Warren County. In the 1880s, the town’s name was changed to

honor Nathaniel Macon, a prominent county native who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

Norlina

Norlina, located just south of the Virginia state line, sits on land that was part of a grant to an early John Lang-ford for his service in the Revolutionary War. The town is named for a combination of “North” and “Carolina.” A descendent of Langford sold five acres of land in Norlina to the Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina Railroad for the building of a depot at the juncture of the Seaboard Air Line Railway and the Raleigh-Gaston Railroad. Being a railroad juncture, the town grew rapidly. The population of the town was at its peak just before and dur-ing the time of World War II with the railroad playing an important part in the war effort by providing transpor-tation for the troop trains to

the seaports at Portsmouth, Va., and Norfolk, Va. A for-mer railroad dining car now serves as a railroad museum in the town.

Middleburg

The Hawkins family cut Middleburg out of the woods around 1860. The settlement was “middle way” between Raleigh and Weldon, giving the town it’s name.

Ridgeway

Located in Warren Coun-ty, Ridgeway was named after the ridge followed by the railroad. The town is best known for its cantaloupes, which are honored annu-ally during the Ridgeway Cantaloupe Festival held the third Saturday of July in the heart of downtown Ridge-way. Before the advent of the interstate highway system, the town shipped canta-loupes up and down the East Coast along the busy U.S. 1 corridor.

Some fast facts on our local towns

A16 B&W


The Tri-County area is for-tunate to have excellent health care resources to care for the medical needs of area citizens. Private physician practices, home health-care agencies and specialized health-care com-panies are located throughout the area. Medical centers and hospitals that serve the region include:

Maria ParhamMedical Center

Maria Parham Medical Center is the region’s health care leader. Fully accredited by JCAHO and the College of American Pathologists, Maria Parham has combined the qualities necessary to offer the best in community medicine — physicians representing a wide range of specialties, highly trained nurses and clinical specialists, and the latest technology.

Maria Parham has the region’s largest and most comprehensive Emergency Department staffed by Board Certified emergency physicians. It offers you the leading Mater-nity Center in the four county area and the only Special Care Nursery. I has the largest and most advanced Intensive Care and Progressive Care Services, with 20 patient rooms equipped with the very best in technology and staffed by specially trained nurses and physicians. It also has the region’s only CARF-accredited Inpatient Rehabilita-tion Unit. To complement these inpatient rehab services, Maria Parham also offers state of the art physical, occupational, and speech therapy on an outpa-tient basis.

Advanced technology is fea-

tured in Maria Parham Medical Center’s Radiology & Digital Imaging Department. With two CT scanners, MRI, Nuclear Medicine and a Women’s Diag-nostic Center, no other hospital in the region can provide this level of care.

Surgical Services is another area that has invested in the latest minimally invasive technology and sophisticated equipment. With five operating rooms and a large GI Suite, Ma-ria Parham provides you with surgical options and expertise comparable to larger, academic facilities. Other services offered include cardiac catheterization, sleep studies, cardiovascular services and the region’s only accredited Respiratory Care Department.

The Oncology Center at Ma-ria Parham offers both Medical and Radiation Oncology programs and is affiliated with Duke Medicine. Maria Parham Regional Home Health offers nursing and rehabilitation services, including an at-home, web-based telemetry service for patients — greatly reducing emergency visits for its cardiac and respiratory clients.

Providing the very best in health care to a community demands more than just quality patient care in a hospital set-ting — it also means answer-ing the needs of the people it serves. Maria Parham Medical Center has joined forces with Vance-Granville Community College to provide one of the most innovative medical simu-lation labs in the state. It has also responded to the needs of new nurses by opening only the second NETT-U (Nursing Edu-cation Transition Telemetry Unit) in the United States.

Granville Health System

For more than 91, years Granville Health System has built its success on consistent-ly delivering quality health care to the community and has been the proud recipient of several awards, recogni-tions and designations from several of the nation’s leading health care ratings organiza-tions, including:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield Center of Excellence — Blue Distinction® is a program that recognizes facilities that meet objective, evidence-based thresholds for clinical quality. GHS has demonstrated a commitment to quality care, resulting in better overall outcomes for GHS patients who undergo knee and hip replacement procedures.

• The American Alliance of Healthcare Providers named Granville Health System one of the top 10 hospitals in the country for its commitment to good citizenship and commu-nity service.

• Community Value Index Five-Star Hospital — This ranking system places GHS within the top 20 percent of hospitals in the United States in providing financial value to their communities and using financial resources efficiently for reinvesting back into the provision of health care at the facility.

These recognitions rep-resent Granville Health System’s commitment to high-quality care standards and quality improvement, as well as a strong dedication and commitment to excellence in caring for its patients and

their families. Moreover, these awards validate that GHS patients are receiving the most effective medical care as outlined by national best practice standards.

The GHS Expansion Plan is a response to the present and future health care needs of its expanding and aging com-munity. The Plan is a 32,000 square foot expansion and renovation project — the larg-est in its history — one that will allow the health system to keep pace with technology and safety requirements, as well as face major local challenges.

Franklin Regional Medical Center

Franklin Regional Medical Center is a 70-bed, acute-care facility located in Louisburg. As the only hospital in Franklin County, it is small enough to offer extremely personalized care, yet big enough to provide clinical excellence. Fully accred-ited by The Joint Commission, Franklin Regional offers a wide variety of services: a 24-hour emergency department, inten-sive care, acute inpatient medi-cal and surgical care, telemetry/progressive care, same-day surgery, diagnostic imaging, a comprehensive laboratory and a therapy center.

In 2009, Franklin Regional Medical Center became an affili-ate of Novant Health, a North Carolina not-for-profit health care system, and has since been nationally recognized for its extraordinary contributions to health care, as well as its suc-cess in permeating a customer-focused culture of service excellence. Franklin Regional’s top priority is providing high

quality care to patients and their families. Franklin’s expert staff continually pursue the highest standards; for instance, Franklin Regional’s diabetes program and team achieved national recognition for their quality patient care from the American Diabetes Association. Through its extreme commit-ment to patient safety, its pain management program and its highly trained staff, Franklin Regional Medical Center is com-mitted to providing exceptional quality care, at a level that exudes pride among its staff, patients and communities.

Additionally, Franklin Regional has a wide network of primary care and specialist physicians available to provide high quality health care in a convenient setting. Its physi-cians and hospital staff are your neighbors and community partners, and are dedicated to improving the quality of life for their patients.

Support for the arts in the Tri-County area is strengthened by the efforts of local arts councils, societies and associations.

Vance County Arts Council

Vance County has a long tradition of support for all areas of the cultural arts. The Vance County Arts Council serves as an advocate for all the arts, artists and arts organizations in the area.

Through partnerships with other arts organizations, the arts council co-sponsors a variety of events and programs, including the Imagination Art Station, a summer arts program; A Very Special Art, a program for ex-ceptional children; an annual Youth Art Show, which any student in Vance County can enter and compete for prizes; “Holiday on Vance Square,” the arts council’s annual Christmas show held on the first Thursday in December; an annual Black History Month program; and special arts pro-grams for the Hispanic community.

The council opened an art gallery in downtown Henderson in October 2010 to provide a place to showcase the work of local artists. Located at 233 S. Garnett St. in the Rosemyer Corp. building, the gallery is open on weekends and showcases the work of a different artist each month. The arts council also hopes to offer classes and educational programs at the gal-lery in the near future.

The arts council is also the local distributing agency for grass-roots funds from the N.C. Arts Council. The council distributes state monies to local organizations for arts activities. With these funds, as well as local government support, membership fees and fund-raising proceeds, the council sponsors and co-sponsors arts activities in the schools and the com-munity.

For more information on the arts council, contact Alice Clark Sallins at (252) 767-4579 or e-mail her at [email protected].

Granville Little Theatre

Theatre has been a part of Gran-ville County for more than 60 years with notations about locally pro-duced plays appearing in newspaper archives from the 1930s. Granville Little Theatre, a completely volunteer community theatre, was organized officially through the efforts of the Granville Arts Council in the spring of 1978.

In its first year of existence in 1979, four full-length plays were produced. The theater group produces four to five productions each year.

For more information on upcom-ing productions, go to www.granvil-lelittletheatre.com.

Henderson Rec Players

The Henderson Rec Players is a local drama program celebrating its 37th year of theater excellence. Two shows are performed each season ó a musical production during the sum-mer months and a comedy or drama production in the fall. Summer per-formances are held in the auditorium of E.M. Rollins Elementary School and the fall performance is held in the auditorium at Vance-Granville Community College. The Henderson-Vance Parks and Recreation Depart-ment provides funding for the theater company, which welcomes anyone interested in community theater to join in its productions.

Community Concert Association

The Henderson Community Concert Association was organized

in 1984 and presents a full slate of concert events each year. Each an-nual series includes from three to five concerts, which are held in the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center. The Henderson Community Concert Association is a volunteer, non-profit organization, providing world-class artists to Henderson and the surrounding area. A special mis-sion of the HCCA is to expose local children to exception live performanc-es by offering outreach programs in the schools.

For further information on purchasing season tickets, call (252) 492-2954.

Kerr Lake Art Society

The Kerr Lake Art Society, a group

of area artists and visual arts enthu-siasts, has been active in the area for more than 40 years. The mission of the group is to encourage the work of local artists and to provide opportu-nities to display their work, as well as promoting artistic and cultural awareness in Vance and surrounding counties.

Over the years, the Kerr Lake Art Society has sponsored art classes, workshops, children’s art shows, sidewalk art shows and other events. Two major annual projects are the Kerr Lake Spring Art Show and the Autumn Arts Juried Art Show, which is co-sponsored by Vance-Granville Community College.

The Tri-County area has been home to many notable citizens throughout its history. From town namesakes to military leaders, from educators to government leaders, and from writers to per-formers, the list of those who have achieved a name and reputation beyond the boundaries of their home counties is impressive.

Gerald Alston

As an R&B enthusiast will attest, the name Gerald Alston has always been synonymous with soul, elegance and sophistication. Born and raised in Henderson, where both his mother and father sang gospel music, Alston was raised on the gospel music he heard in church and at home (his uncle, Johnny Fields was one of the Five Blind Boys of Alabama). Enroute to a college degree as a pre-med student with a music minor, the fates intervened and Alston left college to join The Man-hattans as lead singer.

After 16 years with the group, Alston left to pursue a solo career in 1987. But he continues to sing with The Manhattans. In 2003, the group released its first studio album in 15 years. The group celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2004.

Braxton Bragg

Gen. Braxton Bragg was born in Warren County in 1817. He graduated fifth in the class of 1837 at the U.S. Military Academy and made his name a household word as a Confederate general during the Civil War. In March 1862, he marched his forces to Corinth, Miss., while in command of the Second Corps of the Confederate Army, where he participated in the movement against Gen. Ulysses

S. Grant at Shiloh, Miss. In this famous battle, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston fell, and Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard succeeded to the general command while Bragg was promoted general and assigned to the command of the Army of the Mississippi.

After the evacuation of Corinth, the troops retired to Tupelo, Miss., where Beauregard, on account of illness, turned command over to Bragg and left for Mobile, Ala. Beauregard was relieved of duty and Bragg was appointed as his replacement. Bragg was then in command of all of the Confederate forces arrayed against the federal invasion of the area between the Mississippi River and the city of Atlanta. On the last day of 1862 he launched a vicious attack on the Union forces left at Murfreesboro, Tenn., but failed to carry though his success on following days.

Later, Bragg was appointed as an advisor to Confederate Presi-dent Jefferson Davis, his staunch supporter, and maintained an of-fice in Richmond. Ineffective in the position of quasi commander-in-chief, he was dispatched to North Carolina in the waning days of the war, surrendering near Durham Station in 1865. For a time after the war he served as Alabama’ chief engineer and then settled in Galveston, Texas, where he died in 1876 while walking down the street with a friend.

Tiny Broadwick

Between 1908 and 1922, Gran-ville County native and Henderson resident Tiny Broadwick made more than 1,100 parachute jumps from hot air balloon and airplanes, thrilling audiences at fairgrounds all across America and earning herself a place in aviation history.

On June 21, 1913, she became

the first woman ever to parachute from an airplane, a feat that landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records. She also helped usher in a new era in aviation safe-ty by demonstrating a parachute to the U.S. Army in 1914.

Broadwick is considered one of the founders of modern day sport parachuting. Her parachutes are in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., and in the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh.

Born Georgia Ann Thompson on a Granville County farm in 1893, Tiny was the youngest of seven girls and weighed only three pounds at birth, giving rise to her nickname. Falling crop prices forced the family to move to Hen-derson, where there was work in a cotton mill.

At the age of 15, Georgia saw Charles Broadwick’s World Famous Aeronauts parachute from a hot air balloon at the state fairgrounds in Raleigh. With her mother’s permission, she soon joined the traveling show, quickly becoming the sweetheart of crowds around the country. For the sake of decorum, Broadwick adopted her as his daughter.

In 1913, pioneering aviator Glenn L. Martin took tiny up in a biplane over Griffith Park in Los Angeles, Calif., where, at a height of 2,000 feet, she released herself from a trap seat, becoming the first woman ever to parachute from an airplane. Her final years were spent traveling to aviation conven-tions and visiting family back in her hometown. She died in 1978.

HENDERSONORTHOPAEDICS

cus on the education of African Americans led her to begin a school near Greensboro in the early 1900s. Born in Hender-son, Brown was a northern-educated granddaughter of former slaves. She returned to her home state as a teacher in 1901, and the following year established the Alice Freeman Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, near Greensboro. The African-American school evolved from an agricultural and manual training facility to a fully accredited, nationally recognized preparatory school. More than 1,000 students graduated during Brown’s 50-year presidency. She died in 1961. Ten years and three

administrations later, the school closed.

In 1982, Maria Cole, a niece of Brown’s, visited friend and schoolmate Marie Gibbs of Greensboro. Together, they returned to the campus where both had been students and expressed a joint desire for recognition of Brown’s social and educational contribu-tions. They contacted other alumni and met with the N.C. Division of Archives and History to explore the idea of restoring the site of the school. The Charlotte Hawkins Brown Historical Foundation Inc., a non-profit society, was founded. In 1985, the founda-tion and others convinced the state’s legislators to appropri-ate $400,000 for land acquisi-tion and initial restoration of the Palmer campus. The site is now a memorial to Brown and

is linked to the larger themes of African-American education and women’s history in North Carolina and the South. The restored campus contains a dozen 20th century buildings, ranging from houses to dormi-tories built between the 1920s and the 1960s. Archeological remains of the Alice Freeman Palmer building, the center of the campus, also survive.

Jason Brown

Jason Brown graduated from Northern Vance High School and is a starting offen-sive lineman for the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League. Brown was a star cen-ter at the University of North Carolina before being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2005 draft. In 2009, Brown signed a five-year deal with

St. Louis, worth $37.5 million, making Brown the highest paid center in the NFL.

Benjamin F.Chavis Jr.

Benjamin Franklin Chavis Jr. has spent his life as an African-American civil rights and religious leader. He was born in Oxford in 1948 and was a youth coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In the late 70s, he was one of 10 men wrongly imprisoned after leading a Wilmington, N.C., demonstra-tion. A minister in the United Church of Christ, he headed that denomination’s Commis-sion for Racial Justice (1985-93). In 1993, he was appointed as director of the NAACP. Controversy surrounding his

leadership and his handling of sexual harassment and discrimination charges led to his dismissal the following year. In 1994-95, he was the director of the Million Man March in Washington. In 1997, he became a Black Muslim and changed his surname from Chavis to Muhammad.

Richard Henderson

Richard Henderson was a lawyer and Superior Court judge in North Carolina from 1768-1773 and was also a member of the North Carolina State Legislature. He was a pioneer and colonizer in North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, and organized what became known as the Transyl-vania Land Company, which

A25 B&W

made treaties with the Chero-kee Indians. Henderson hired Daniel Boone as an advance agent to blaze a trail through the Cumberland Gap. He died in Granville County on Jan. 30, 1785. The town of Hen-derson was actually named for Richard Henderson’s son, Chief Justice Leonard Hender-son, who was an outstanding colonial jurist and native of Henderson.

Ben E. King

Ben E. King, born Benja-min Earl Nelson, is perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of “Stand by Me,” a U.S. top 10 hit in both 1961 and 1987, and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group The Drifters. Nelson was born in Henderson and moved to Harlem at the age of nine. In 1958, he joined a “doo wop” group called The Five Crowns. Later that year, The Drifters’ manager fired the members of the group and replaced them with The Five Crowns, who had performed several engagements with the Drifters. Nelson co-wrote the first hit by the new version of the Drifters, “There Goes My Baby” (1959). He also sang lead, using his birth name, on “Save the Last Dance for Me”, a song written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman; “Dance With Me;” “This Magic Moment;” “I Count the Tears;” and “Lonely Winds.” King only recorded ten songs with The Drifters.

In 1960, he left The Drifters after failing to gain a salary increase and what he felt to

be a fairer share of the group’s royalties. At this point, he assumed the more memorable stage name Ben E. King in preparation for a successful solo career. Remaining on Atlantic Records, King scored his first solo hit with the bal-lad “Spanish Harlem” (1961). “Stand by Me” was his next recording. Written by King along with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, “Stand by Me” was voted one of the “Songs of the Century” by the Record-ing Industry Association of America. “Stand by Me,” “There Goes My Baby,” and “Spanish Harlem” were named as three of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll” and were all given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award, as well as “Save The Last Dance For Me.” In the summer of 1963, King had a top 30 national hit with “I (Who Have Nothing),” a song that reached the Top 10 on New York’s radio station, WMCA.

Currently, King is active in his charitable foundation, the Stand By Me Foundation. He has been a resident of Teaneck, N.J., since the late 1960s.

Sammy Jackson

Sammy Jackson (1937 - April 24, 1995) was an Ameri-can actor known particularly for his roles reflecting rural life. Born in Henderson, Jack-son wished to be an actor and moved to California working as a shipping clerk but was contracted to Warner Brothers where he appeared saying one line in the Andy Griffith film “No Time for Sergeants.” He soon appeared in the syndi-cated American Civil War drama “Gray Ghost” and on the Warner Brothers Televi-

sion series “77 Sunset Strip” starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr., and opposite James Garner in the TV series, “Maverick.”

When Jackson read that Warner Brothers was going to produce a 1964 ABC televi-sion sitcom, “No Time for Sergeants,” he wrote directly to Jack Warner saying that he was the best choice for the role and asked Warner to examine a certain “Maverick” episode as proof. Ten days later, Jackson was told to come to the studio to test for the role. Jackson won the role over several actors, including the better known Will Hutchins, a War-ner Brothers Television con-tract star who formerly played the sympathetic Sugarfoot and also had been in the “No Time for Sergeants” film.

With film roles for “hillbil-lies” drying up, Jackson began working on-air in radio in 1968 while also acting in a number of motion pictures and doing guest roles in television series. In the 1980s, Jackson worked for a radio station in Las Vegas and briefly played non-country music on KMPC, Los Angeles. In 1992, he appeared in the pilot film, “Casino.”

Jackson died of heart failure.

Nathaniel Macon

Nathaniel Macon was a rep-resentative and senator from North Carolina. He was born near Warrenton.

Macon attended the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) and served in the Revolutionary War. He served in the State Senate and was elected to the first Continental Congress, but declined to serve. He did serve in the second through the 12th Congresses, and was elected

Speaker of the House of Rep-resentatives for the seventh through the ninth Congresses. Macon left the House when he was elected a Republican senator. He served as a senator from December 1815 through November 1828. He was an unsuccessful candidate for vice president of the United States in 1825. He died at Buck Spring near Macon in Warren County in 1837, where he is buried.

Fred Owens

The voice of Broadway actor Frederick B. Owens is more recognizable that his face. The Henderson native has made a successful career of doing voice over work for cartoons and commercials. Owens has starred as a principal member of the cast of “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” on Broadway and as Caiaphas in “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Owens also has an impressive series of television parts to his credit, including guest roles on “Law & Order: Special Victims’ Unit,” “Ed,” “The Education of Max Bick-ford,” and “Swift Justice.”

John Penn

John Penn represented North Carolina at the Con-tinental Congress and was one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. While born in Virginia, he moved to Granville County in 1774, where he established a law practice and soon became a gentleman members of the political community. He was elected to attend the provincial Congress in 1775 and elected to the Continental Congress the same year, where he served until 1780. He declined a judgeship in his native state

due to declining health, but returned to the practice of law in his retirement. He died at the age of 48.

Reynolds Price

Reynolds Price was born in 1933 in the Warren County town of Macon. Price is a nov-elist, poet, dramatist, essayist and James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke University. His first short stories were published in Duke’s student lit-erary periodical, Archive. The well-known Southern author, Eudora Welty, helped Price get his first books published, send-ing one of his early stories to her own publisher. His books include “Kate Vaiden,” “The Tongues of Angels,” “The Great Circle” and “The Good Priest’s Son,” an account of a 9/11 ex-perience. Price began teaching at Duke shortly after complet-ing a Rhodes Scholarship in the late 1950s. Price was a favorite of former President Bill Clinton, who invited him to the White House early in his first term. Price also wrote the lyrics to two songs by James Taylor, “Copperline” and “New Hymn.” Price has received numerous literary honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, and he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his 1989 memoir, “Clear Pictures.”

Sam Ragan

Often called North Caro-lina’s “literary godfather,” Sam Ragan was for more than 50 years one of the state’s leading men of letters. The newspaper editor who gave legendary news anchor

David Brinkley his first reporter’s job in Wilmington was also the North Carolina Poet Laureate. As North Carolina’s first secretary of the Department of Cultural Resources and first chairman of the North Carolina Arts Council, Ragan helped make the arts in his home state ac-cessible to a wide and varied audience.

Born in Granville County, Ragan started writing poetry in grade school. After a stint in San Antonio, Texas, as a reporter, Ragan returned in 1941 as the state editor for The News and Observer in Raleigh where, in 1948, he began writing his trademark

column, “Southern Accent.” Except for three years of ser-vice in the Army, he remained at The News and Observer as executive and manag-ing editor until 1968, when he purchased the Southern Pines weekly newspaper, The Pilot. He continued to publish The Pilot until his death, continuing to write “South-ern Accent,” a column which featured poems, anecdotes and literary criticism, along with social commentary. The oldest and longest running column in the United States, it was read in 43 states and 24 foreign countries.

Ragan, the poet, published six collections of verse, two of which were nominated for Pulitzer Prizes, and four works of nonfiction. Ragan was appointed as the state’s Poet Laureate in 1982.

Charlie Rose

Emmy Award-winning tele-vision journalist Charlie Rose entered the news field in 1974 when he became the managing editor of the PBS series, “Bill Moyers’ International Report.” He later worked with Moyers on two other series, “Bill Moy-ers’ Journal” and “USA: People and Politics.” From 1984 to 1990, he anchored “Night-watch,” the CBS television network’s late-night interview series, and won for himself what some observers have described as a cult following for the in-depth conversations that have since earned him a repu-tation as “the best interviewer around today.”

Rose was born in Hender-son in 1942. He earned a law degree from Duke University

in 1968, but decided not to pursue a career in law. Rose moved to New York to pursue other business interests, and through his wife, who was do-ing research for the CBS televi-sion program “60 Minutes,” he became friendly with people employed in the broadcasting industry. Rose met Bill Moyers at a social gathering in 1974, and the two felt an instant chemistry. Within weeks, he began working with Moyers as the managing editor of his PBS series “Bill Moyers’ International Report.” After Moyers left PBS for CBS, Rose accepted a job as a political cor-respondent with NBC News.

Rose went from there to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, where he had the opportunity to launch a talk show called “The Charlie Rose Show.” In 1981, he secured national

syndication for the show and moved his broadcast studio to Washington, D.C. After two years, CBS hired him in 1983 to anchor “Nightwatch,” an interview program aired in the early morning hours five days a week. After a stint as anchor of another program, Rose approached WNET, the PBS affiliate station in New York, about airing an interview show. Syndicated nationally since 1993, the show currently airs on 215 PBS affiliate sta-tions.

in Oxford where he was born. After college and Army service in WWII, he began writing po-etry in 1943-44. In 1945, nine of his poems were published in a single issue of Lyric, a Roanoke, Va., magazine. He continued to write sporadically until this marriage to a widow with a young son in 1947. “I suddenly realized that I had to get serious,” he would later say, and he began producing as many as 15,000 words a week, writing newspaper articles, es-says, poems and short fiction.

He sold an estimated 8,0000 short pieces to North Caro-lina newspapers, including The News and Observer and The Pilot in Southern Pines.

Over the next two decades, he published 11 more books. In the last two years of his life, despite kidney failure that required weekly dialysis, he continued to produce articles, short stories, editorials and “Thad Stem’s Ark,” a collec-tion of essays, poems and a story. His home state honored him with the North Carolina Award for Literature in 1974.

Zebulon Baird Vance

Vance County is named for North Carolina political figure Zebulon Baird Vance. Vance was a Democrat and member of the North Carolina State Legislature in 1854. He served as a U.S. House representa-tive from North Carolina’s 8th District from 1858-61. Vance

served as a colonel in the Con-federate Army during the Civil War and became governor of North Carolina from 1862-65 and from 1877-79. He served as a U.S. senator from 1879-1894. He died in office in 1894.

James Edwin Webb

James Edwin Webb was born in 1906 in the Tally Ho community of Granville County. He was the second administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-ministration (NASA), serv-ing from 1961 to 1968. Webb came to the position after a long career in public service in Washington, D.C. Under his direction at NASA, the agency undertook the goal of President John F. Kennedy to land an American on the moon before

the end of the decade. Webb used his Washington connec-tions to fight for support for NASA and was ultimately able to acquire continued support for and the resources to accom-plish the Apollo moon landing on schedule.

After retiring from NASA, Webb remained in Wash-ington, serving on several advisory boards, including as a regent of the Smithsonian In-stitution. He died in 1992 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. NASA named the James Webb Space Telescope in his honor in 2002.

Ruth Russell Williams

Internationally-known folk artist Ruth Russell Williams was born in 1932 in Towns-

ville. The daughter of share-croppers, she started painting after her four children left for college. “I got lonesome, so I started dabbling. I didn’t know I had talent. I was just doing something to entertain myself,” Williams said. She would see her work exhibited numerous times, purchased for nationally televised programs, and one piece, “Outdoor Bap-tism,” appeared on the cover of the Smithsonian magazine. The majority of Williams’ paintings involve storytelling, with scenes like picking plums and grapes, eating water-melon, playing baseball and gossiping. She single-handedly developed a regional, national and international reputation through an annual art exhibi-tion held at her own home in the Williamsboro community. She died in 2010.

Around here, by the time you’ve met a handful of your new neighbors or cowork-ers, you’ve prob-ably been invited to a church or asked if you have found a new church home. This is not intended as an intrusion into your be-liefs, but is simply one of those things we do around here. Most of us who attend church want any newcomers to know that the doors of our churches are open to them and that we welcome you to share a pew with us.

There are several hundred churches of numerous denomina-tions in the Tri-County area. Some are tradi-tional, some contem-porary, so if you are looking for a church home, chances are you will find a perfect fit for your worship needs.

Besides being a place of worship, church plays a large part in the lives of members of the con-gregation. If you are indeed looking for a new church home, fol-lowing are some tips to help make the process easier:• If someone invites

you to their church, chances are they are happy there. It probably also means that the church is active, involved and a welcoming place.

Visiting their church or any other is the best way to know if it will be a place of worship for you.

• If you are inter-ested in a particular denomination, call those which fit your preference. The church secretary should be able to provide information on congregation size, time of services, groups that are active within the church, and educa-tional opportunities.

• Attend services at different churches, listen to the mes-sage, meet the mem-bers and find out what they like about the church.
