A monumental task has been accomplished by your book committee, and we all believe you will be very pleased when the book is in your hands. It will be a wonderful volume containing more than 1200 stories of Jackson County people, and thanks are especially due to those members who sent in material for publication. One member of the book committee was heard to remark that the old photographs in the book are priceless, and I agree. My thanks to all who have worked so diligently to make this book such a good one. Now we turn our attention to the affairs of the Society itself, and I have good news to report—we have a new Vice President. Henry Buchanan agreed to serve in this capacity, and we are most grateful. Henry lives in Gastonia but is one of our most faithful members, and he will do a good job as our vice president. Thanks, HenryI Membership is growing daily. At this point we have received two new life memberships and 12 new annual memberships, along with 36 renewals. If you have not renewed your membership, please do so today. In addition to the new individual members, the North Carolina Genealogical Society has sent a membership and offered assistance in any way possible. They are being contacted for brochures, program suggestions, and other materials. Work continues toward tax-exempt status for the Society. This has been a long, drawn-out process, but all required documents have now been ' submitted to IRS, and we hope to have notification soon. This status will be an important advantage for the Society, as it will allow us to apply for grants and will be of value in other ways. We will keep you informed. Again we express our appreciation to St. John's Episcopal Church for permitting us to meet in their undercroft. It is good to have a permanent location. At the February meeting a telephone committee was appointed. These ladies will be calling local members to remind them of the meeting each month. Thanks to Helen Cooper, Hattie Deits, Regenia Fisher, and Ziouise Morgan for their assistance. Calendar Thursday, March 12, regular Society meeting. Our guest speaker will be Ms. Barbara McRae, from Franklin. She has recently published a book on early records of Macon County which you may find in the Jackson County Library. We look forward to hearing Ms. McRae. Other programs are being planned, and we invite your suggestions. Please let any of the officers know of a speaker you have heard or something you would be interested in hearing as a program. Correction The 1870 Jackson Census found in the Nov 91 issue (Vol 1 No 5) listed Nelsan James as head of household in dwelling number 45. The correct name is Nelson Jones, son of Richard and Nancy Higdon Jones. His wife was Sophronia Huffman, daughter of Fredrick and Fanny Warlick Huffman. Our thanks to member Jo Ann Smith for the correction. Editor's Note I apologize to the everyone for being late with this issue of Journeys. My work load this month has prompted me to rename my home office "Chaos Manor." Thanks to all of you who offered, assistance and moral support. My special thanks to Ruth Shuler for being so patient and always finding time to help. u ^ Table of Contents Volume 2 Number 2, February 1992 JCGS Interview with Ora Ethel Coleman 13 Death Certificates of Jackson County Persons Born Prior to 1900 14 Family Bible of John M. Bryson 15 1902 Voter Registration for Jackson County 16 1870 Census of Jackson County 18 Locust Field Cemetery Census • . . . . 20 Queries 22 JCGS Interview with Ora Ethel Coleman [Interviewer's Note: Miss Coleman's 4th great grandfather was Revolutionary War soldier John Stiles (1 Feb 1757 - 17 Sep 1833). John and his wife Sarah (1754 - 17 Oct 1818) raised ten .children in present day Jackson County. John and Sarah are buried in the Dills Cemetery in Sylva. Ora Ethel Coleman was born in Cherokee county, NC on 13 Apr 1891 to Gamaliel and Harriet Elizabeth Stiles Coleman. Her grandparents were Rev. Absalom and Jane Elizabeth Kilpatrick Coleman and John L. and May Anne Sutton Stiles. Ethel had nine siblings, Vivian Lesley, Bessie, Owen Decatur, Ulysses Washington, Willis Gamaliel, Floria Mayannie, Absalom Winfred, Janie Elizabeth, and William Butler. Ethel was raised in the Persimmon Creek community in an area now part of the Hiwassee Lake district. Concerning her life, Ethel Said, "I am the oldest of ten children. My father was a farmer, carpenter, deputy sheriff. Justice of the Peace, and singing leader of the Hiwassee Baptist Church. I went to school, but I didn't learn much. I did learn to read and write. I began to cook at the age of seven. I could make the best biscuits you ever ate. I'd like to have some of my biscuits now." ' "My father used to take people across the Hiwassee River on a flatboat. When I was about 15, a man and his wife and their two children wanted Pop to take them across. Well, they got about halfway over, and the man just got up and jumped in the river. After they got him out, the doctor said he was dead before he hit the water because there was not a drop of water in his lungs." After World War I, several of Ethel's brothers went to Athens, TN, to live and work. Since his sons were doing well in McMinn County, Gamaliel decided to move the rest of the family to Athens. In November 1920, they moved to Athens in four covered wagons. The wagons traveled on. present-day Highways 64 and 441. Ethel and her sister Bessie, neither of whom married, lived with their mother and father until they died in 1956 and 1959, respectively. When Bessie died in 1983, Ethel went to live at the Athens Life Care, where she is today. Ethel could pass for a woman 30 years her junior. She is in remarkably good health and is seldom sick. She said, "When I go to bed, I sleep like a baby." Last April, on her 100th birthday, many friends and relatives came to celebrate her long life, and President Bush sent a congratulatory message. Ethel sang several of her favorite gospel hymns for her friends and family.
