Vol '11% Oip- 9 September, 1995 \ PRESIDENT 5 MESSAGE My message is a week late. I promised Ruth that I would have it for her on Monday. But that was last Monday. She will just smile and say, "That's all right, Archie, I've been too busy to put the Joumevs together." This is not always true, but thank you, Ruth, for editing our monthly publication and for putting up with me when I'm a week or so late. Thank you for being a very good friend. Last weekend I spent at Grassy Creek, just beyond Tuckaseegee on a thousand acres of beautiful mountain land. This is owned by the Coward family, and they had offered it to a good friend to use for the wedding of their daughter. It did rain, but the two hundred guests would not be let down. This place is a very large hunk of the heritage of Jackson County. Kent Coward worked for years on the rock work and it is the best I have ever seen. I sat on the porch peeling an apple and listening to Mary Jane Coward Dillard tell of the old times when her daddy, Dillard Coward, was putting the parcels of land together to make up the valley. His sons and grandsons took the remains of a dozen or more log homes for the house. The thing that impressed me most in Mary Jane's stories was the fact that she feared that they would move from Sylva to Grassy Creek. This was not a good thought for a child, but as a retired adult one can see the other side. I have been there many times including the time we buried Kent Coward on the hillside facing the log house across a large level Field. I hope it stays forever with buried power lines. Takes me back a ways. With age we leam to love those places and things that we didn't care that much for when we were little. I read with great interest from the Sherrill book. This was a service contract between Mr. Sherrill and Dr. D. Z. Candler. It was drawn up in November 1940 but covered the time past of thirty or more years. Dr. Candler had rendered,professional services for Mr. Sherrill and his family. In turn Mr. Sherrill handled all legal matters for Dr. Candler. It states that for those who hereafter be interested in the status of their dealings should know that this document serves as a receipt in full up to date. They both signed it and recorded it. Very interesting. I had a call from Mary Katherine Sherrill Robinson. She had put together a book, "The Robert Lee Holden Family." They were nice enough to donate a copy of this book to our Society. I am having a good time with this and will share it later. Mr. Holden built a house in Speedwell between what is now the Methodist Church u and the Baptist Church located off the paved :cac Their house was two stories and had ten rooms Tha soon became a meeting place for all who passed through. Mr. Holden could be described in old terms as being a very enterprising man. I remember the old house because it had a can house buried in the bank and always had some good apples. People said Mr Holden's word was as good as his bond. This says it all. Mary Katherine wants to put some funds, left over from the sale of her book, into a trust fund to cover an annual presentation to a person who has contributed the most to the research and recording for future generations. The Board of Directors was really excited about her offer and will work out the details later I was involved in an auction on Saturday and saw a lot of history pass before my eyes. We had everything from real estate to (now hear this) two very rough chestnut doors from an old chicken house. When we are out of books we may want to consider a fund raiser No, not us, we would never give up our old stuff. While I'm on the subject of old times, I need to mention my golden anniversary on October 30 this year Little did I know that this nice girl named Ruth Pangle would survive so many years. I met her at Velt's Cafe in Sylva. I finally convinced her that the Court House """• steps could be a lot of fun. Things got better about ^J three years later when we took the bus to Clayton and were married. Things seem to have a way of getting better every year and, if I were to last another fifty years, I would hope that they would be as good as the last fifty. It has been fun, and I would make very few changes along the way—and certainly would not change wives. Our next meeting is November 11 with Phil Haire presenting a program on the Civil War. This should be a very interesting program. Archie CALENDAR November 11, 7:00 P-m., St. John's Episcopal Church, regular Society meeting. Phil Haire will be bringing some uniforms and other accoutrements for us to see, so plan now to attend. December 9, 7:00 p-m., JCGS Annual Meeting. Be there for the reports from 1993 officers and election of 1994 officers. Every member possible needs to participate T. the governance of our Society.

Charles Bracken Fugate? 82-83 An Unexpected Resource: the Carson House *. 34 Gunter Cemetery Census _, 85 Revolutionary War Veterans? 86 Letter to John Gribble from Sarah and Thomas Monteith 87 Jackson County Physicians 88 Queries and Announcements 89 Lineage Chart of Betty Luedtke 90 * * * * * * * * * * VETERANS' HONOR ROLL (From The Sylva Herald and Ruralite of October 20, 1943, comes this article entitled "Dillard Clan Upholds Soldierly Traditions.") Friends of D. H. Dillard of Sylva say that he comes of fighting stock, and, although Mr. Dillard modestly says little, the facts speak for themselves. Now just "Mr. Dillard," employed by Armour Leather Company, he was once Corporal Dillard, serving in World War I under Major R. Gregg Cherry, of Gastonia, chief speaker at the recent unveiling of the Jackson county honor-roll shield. The former corporal, after the day's ceremonies, when Major Cherry had descended from the rostrum, approached his former commander for the purpose of recalling himself to the Gastonia man. It wasn't necessary. Major Cherry called Mr. Dillard by name and seized his hand in the vice-grip of one old buddy greeting another. No wonder either! Both members of the famous 30th Division, they together had been in the forefront, among the breakers of the Hindenberg line. Under fire together in the Argonne, often for 12 hours without cessation, they had fought in the final battle that terminated in the Armistice, November 11, 1918. The fighting Dillard of that war is shown in the picture of him and his uncle, the late Riley Franklin, Confederate soldier, whose chief pride was the fact that he followed Lee and Jackson four years in the War Between the States. Corporal Dillard's two sons carry on in the true spirit of Jackson county stock. There is Pfc. John C„ of a quartermaster corps somewhere in the far west, and Pfc. Lloyd Dillard, now being trained at Fort Bragg for duty overseas. Both were inducted early in the year. Their father, like most veterans who heard the shrapnel shriek for protracted periods, is very reticent in telling of his exploits. In the service during War I for three years, the greater part of which was spent in Europe, he was among those retained in the army of occupation after the armistice. He was on duty on foreign soil five months after the last firing. Asked for at least a few highlights of his experience, he laughed: "Well, the announcement of the coming armistice was about the highest, you might say. Our celebration in a little village in southern France was something to remember." "But the fighting-tell something about that," insisted the Herald reporter. "Well," chuckled the late corporal, "the highlight of the actual fighting came right at the last. How those Germans ran, and did we boys laugh at them! Our fellows said they could play marbles on every one "of the German's coattails." (Editor's Note: This article was accompanied by photographs of D. H. Dillard and Riley Franklin, Pfc. Lloyd B. DUlard, and Pfc. John C. Dillard.) 31 106 YEARS OLD CASHIERS "UNSOLVED MYSTERY" OR WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHARLES BRACKEN FUGATE? ^ (The following article is submitted by Jane G. Nardy, who says it was published in the Crossroads Chronicle. Cashiers, on June 24. 1952 This article does not appear in lackson County Heritage. Volume 1.) In the year 1886, Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate, a resident of Cashiers, disappeared and was never again seen by his family. Some say he was last sighted walking south out of Cashiers, along what is now Hwy. #107. Others think he went to Asheville to look for work. All agree that within weeks after his disappearance he wrote his wife, Mary Arlissa Norton, daughter of William Norton and Suzannah Zachary, and told her to pack up as he was coming to get her. That letter, which has not survived, was postmarked either Asheville or Tennessee, according to various descendants. Mary Arlissa Norton Fugate did as her husband instructed, and she and their six children, the eldest 13 years old and the youngest only two years old, waited and waited for the return of their husband and father. He never came for them, and they never heard from him again. Mary Fugate reared her family alone, serving as one of the first postmistresses for the Cashiers Valley Post Office. She died in 1903 at the age of 58 and is buried at the Lower Zachary Cemetery in Cashiers. In the 1930s, many years after the death of Mary Norton Fugate, a sister of Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate came to Cashiers looking for traces of her brother. Her name was Harriet Fugate Cusenbarry from Joplin, Missouri, and the last time she had heard from her brother was while he was still living in Cashiers, before v ^ his disappearance in 1886. Harriet is remembered as being well-dressed, well-educated—a thoroughly charming, Christian woman who quickly won the hearts of her Fugate nieces and nephews in Cashiers. She had suffered an accident in her youth, which resulted in a broken back, and she had an obvious stoop to her posture. The Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate descended from a well-documented French Huguenot family which was found in Colonial Maryland and Virginia as early as 1703. Rev. Fugate's parents, James Colbert Fugate and Elizabeth Harris, parented 12 children in Scott County and Russell County, Virginia. After their youngest child was born in about 1870, this family removed to Lafayette County, then to Bates County, Missouri. It is about this time that Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate, a Lay Methodist Minister and carpenter, moved into Tennessee and North Carolina. The exact marriage date and place for Mary Arlissa Norton and Charles Bracken Fugate is not yet known, but judging from the birth date of their eldest child [Franklin Taylor Fugate, born 13 June 1873, married Hessie Ona Dunn], they were married by 1872. Their other five children were: Susan Fugate who married Thomas A. Dillard; Charles Bracken Fugate, Jr., who married first Maggie Monteith and later Nellie Hill; Daisy Belle Fugate who never married; Mary L. Fugate who married first Mr. Merrian and later Mr. Goldsmith; and Paul W. Fugate who married Mattie Hyatt. One of the Fugates was the builder and owner of the original "Cottage Inn." Descendants of Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate abound today in the Cashiers area. 82 c u <w WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHARLES BRACKEN FUGATE? (continued) On record are many marriages performed in Jackson County by Rev. C. B. Fugate, in his capacity as a Methodist Minister. He is credited as the builder of the old Cashiers Methodist Church, the timbers being beautifully handhewn. He was-assisted in the church construction by one of his young sons, and when the old church was dismantled, that son's footprints could still b e seen on the wide rafter's. C. B. Fugate served as the Official Cashiers Valley Enumerator for the 1880 Federal Census of Jackson County, North Carolina, his name appearing at the top of each census page. He was a skilled and educated man. What happened to him? Rev. Mike Fugate, of Hendersonville, a descendant of Rev. C. B. Fugate, has been studying this Fugate Family Tree for years. He found the information on the ancestors of Rev. C. B. Fugate and has heard various theories on what happened to him. One rumor said Rev. C. B. Fugate was seen in Charleston, South Carolina. Records from Charleston were checked but no trace of any Fugates was found. Family members of "Aunt Alice Norton Wike" (sister to Mary Arlissa Norton Fugate), while in Florida saw a general store in St. Petersburg with the name "C. B. Fugate and Sons." On their first visit, the store owner was not there; but, on the second visit, they reported they came face to face with Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate and spoke to him, saying, "Hello, Uncle Charlie." At this greeting, he is said to have "run out the back door." Pinellas County, Florida (the St. Petersburg area), reportedly had an assistant district attorney named Tom Fugate. Rev. Mike Fugate tried to contact persons of the Fugate surname in the Pinellas County, Florida, area by mail and by telephone, but his letters and phone calls we'nt unanswered. Did Rev. Charles Bracken Fugate, Sr., desert his Cashiers family and father a new family in Florida? Did he go "out West" as many men were doing in the 1880s? Or, did he meet with an untimely death with his body never found or never identified? Can you help with this 100-year + "Unsolved Mystery?" Please contact Jane G. Nardy, Certified Genealogical Record Searcher, P. O. Box 1811, Cashiers NC 28717, phone 704-743-9002, with any corrections, additions, and ideas. (Editor's note: This is a fascinating story, and I hope some of our readers will be able to offer assistance to Jane in trying to solve this mystery. I encourage all of you to submit your articles, family stories (not published in lackson County Heritage). Bible records, cemetery censuses (please list the entire dates shown on tombstones), and other interesting materials for publication. We especially need queries and, if a response from one of your queries has produced results for you, let us know about that, too. I look forward to hearing from many of you.

She raises some good questions and also asks for ^y some information. Please respond directly to Betty if you can provide the information she is seeking.) "As I read The Heritage of Tackson County, I find several who served in the Revolutionary War: Thomas Gribble, William Frizzell, Samuel Monteith, William Queen, Brysons, Abeolum Hooper, William Zachary, Robert Love, Joseph Cowan, John Sutton, John Stiles, Benjamin Davis, Long, Lewis Smith, and others. "In 1988 the VA furnished a stone for Samuel Monteith's grave in Love's Chapel, honoring his Revolutionary War service. I have not had a DAR marker placed there yet. I read on page 442 that John Stiles and his wife Sarah are buried in Dills Cemetery. Do their graves have DAR markers? Does John Sutton have a DAR marker at the Old Savannah cemetery? Abeolum Hooper in East LaPort cemetery, page 295? Are there others who served in the Revolutionary War buried in Jackson County? Margaret Monteith and Lucy Stiles applied for widow's Revolutionary War pensions in Jackson County, were there others? "Perhaps a nearby DAR chapter would have a ceremony one Memorial Day or other time to place DAR markers on the graves of Jackson County Revolutionary soldiers. "Enclosed is a copy of the letter my third great-grandparents Thomas and Sarah Gribble Monteith wrote in 1844 to John Gribble. John Gribble and Elizabeth Ensley were married S Nov 1821 in Haywood County. Elizabeth was the daughter of Andrew Ensley. Thomas Monteith was bondsman. Thomas was appointed agent to sell John Gribble's land to James Ensley in 1838, while he was living in Johnston County, Missouri. Thomas tells Mother has broke up house keeping, she is living at Thomas Gribbles. This refers to Margaret Gribble Monteith .Margaret applied for a widow's Revolutionary pension at age 86 in 18S3 from Jackson County. She was living with her daughter Jane Gribble, wife of James Buchanan, on the 1850 census of Macon County. Does anyone know the date Margaret died and where she is buried. She could be buried at Old Savannah or Love's Chapel near her husband Samuel Monteith."

Post Office Missourie Mail 25 Scotts Creek Sept 7th 1844 U 87 JACXSOH COUHTY PHYSICIANS (Doms Dills Beck sent these items from the Sylva Herald, the first published in 1955, no date given for die second.) Dr. Delos D. Hooper, local physician and member of the Medical Society of North Carolina, was presented with a certificate of record and a suitable emblem in recognition of fifty years practice under legal license to practice medicine in this state. Dr. Hooper was presented this high honor at an annual meeting of the SO-year club at Pinehurst yesterday. Dr. Hooper started practice in Sylva in 1905. His first office was in an old wooden building where Professional Drug store now is located. (Editor'a note: Today it is Wilson Insurance Agency.) One of the "old school" of country doctors, Dr. Hooper served the people of the county during the period when practicing medicine was a rugged undertaking due to lack of roads and hospital facilities nearby. ^y The editorial: The Herald extends congratulations to Dr. D. D. Hooper upon having been recognized and presented a certificate of record and an emblem for 50 years of practice by the North Carolina Medical Society...This high honor comes to one who deserves it. When Dr. Hooper began practicing medicine over 50 years ago it was quite different from today. To reach his patients he had to ride a horse or go by buggy when the roads and trails were passable, usually at night because most emergencies have a habit of coming at that time. Today the doctor sees the majority of his patients in his office or on a hospital bed, some few are visited in the home, but good highways and the automobile make it simple and easy to reach them. Those old time doctors served their fellowmen well and often under great hardship, and in many cases without pay. It is in this group that Dr. Delos qualifies because the first half of his professional life had to be practiced under such conditions. His latter years of practice have not been too hard as he, too, can see patients in his office. Obituary of Dr. C. Z. Candler Funeral services for Dr. C. Z. Candler, prominent physician and surgeon, who died at his home here Tuesday morning, Dec. 23, were held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Sylva Methodist Church, with the Rev. R. G. Tuttle, Rev. T. F. Deitz and Rev. C. M. Warren officiating. The body lay in state at the church from I to 3 o'clock, with the members of the American Legion standing guard. The Masonic Order had charge of the rites at the grave. Dr. Candler, a native of Webster, was the son of the late Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Candler. He attended private schools, Emory University, and the University of North Carolina. After graduating he returned to his native mountains to practice his profession. He was a life member of the American College of Surgeons, of the Southern Surgical Congress and the North Carolina Medical Society, and was surgeon for the Southern Railway for a number of years. He served in the Medical Corps during the First World War, holding the rank of Major. In 1927 Dr. Candler and Dr. H. W. Tidmarsh established the Candler-Tidmarsh Hospital. This institution has since become the C. J. Harris Community Hospital. A member of the Sylva Methodist Church, he served many years as a member of the Board of Stewards. He served several terms as master of the Sylva Masonic Lodge and as Masonic district deputy. He also served several years as member of both the town board of aldermen and the board of county commissioners. He was a charter member and first president of the Sylva Rotary Club. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Annie Thomas Candler; three daughters, Mrs. J. R. Ryan, Mrs. John Smith, and Miss Margaret Candler; one son, Dr. Charles Z. Candler, Jr.; six grandchildren, James Candler, Margaret Ann, and Joseph Ryan; Charles Z. Candler HI; and Sara Nell Candler and John Smith, Jr., and two brothers, H. M. Candler, Athens, Tenn., and James M. Candler, Hickory. The editorial: We pause at this time to pay tribute to the passing of one of Jackson County's finest citizens, Dr. Charles Z. Candler, a native son who has served loyally and unselfishly throughout his entire life. It is impossible to know the many homes he has entered day and night, bringing healing and comfort to body and mind, but it is possible to know that the hearts of Jackson County keenly feel their loss. The hospital on the hill will long serve as a tangible memory but more deeply inrooted in our hearts will be the memory of Dr. Charlie's service and devotion. Father, physician, and man-each capacity he filled well and yet found time to serve his community In civic and church affairs. No portion of life in Jackson County will go untouched with our loss. 38 ^y ^y QUERIES S^y There was a picture taken Sept. 18, 1915, of the unveiling of the Confederate Veterans Monument at Sylva.

But with a h u s b a n d who's now retired (as of September 30) and after a short vacation trip to northwest Washington to c e l e b r a t e and, of course, to d o some genealogy, I'll get b a c k on schedule. The next issue will b e a double one, s o s e n d your material now for use in the October-November issue. Thanks for your patience!
