From the Editor As the holiday season is beginning, I have been traveling down memory lane quite often. I was thinking the other day about a Christmas that we had in the mid 70’s. My grandmother had passed away and Granddad wanted us to come to his house for the holidays. Just imagine trying to get five kids to go to bed so that “Santy Claus” would come. They put us all five in one bed in the back bedroom, and being kids we were cutting up and giggling. He would come to the door and tell us that if we didn’t get to sleep that he would tell Santy Claus to leave. He kept trying to get us to calm down and go to sleep, but to no avail, we cut up until nearly 11 pm that night. He even went outside with sleigh bells, to the back window, to convince us that he ran Santy Claus off. For the life of me, I can’t remember what we got for Christmas that year, but I do know that we received something that we would carry with us the rest of our lives. We had family that loved us; we had quality time with our granddad goofing off with us, and memories that would last a lifetime. We may not have been rich in monetary means, but in things that matter we was as rich as Midas. Family, love, and memories made us rich. As the end of the year is approaching, we would like to wish all our members, near and far, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May all your elusive ancestors be found in the upcoming year. Good health, good friends, and lots of genealogy in the upcoming year are our wishes for you. REMEMBER DUES FOR 2016 ARE DUE AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR!

Recently we realized that our successful monthly programs have moved into the front seat and our monthly meetings have moved into the back. Our topics are certainly interesting and the programs are well attended. However, we, our members and the community want to know a little more about our day-to-day operations. With that in mind, beginning in January, our meetings on the second Thursday of each month will begin at 6:30 p.m. with light refreshments, fellowship, and an update on the Society’s activities and finances. The programs will continue to begin at 7 p.m. And, a request, we hope many of you will volunteer to provide refreshments once during the calendar year. Let us know! 828 631-2646. The Jackson County Genealogical Society is looking forward to a great 2016. Tim Osment JCGS President Starting January 1, 2016, the address for JCGS will be changing. It will be: Jackson County Genealogical Society Post Office Box 480 Sylva, NC 28779 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 146 JCGS Photo Album Above is JCGS member Vee Jones with the rifle and targets that he shot at a shooting match in Cataloochee on 9 Aug 1963. It was called the best ever “X” shot ever made there. Three .45 caliber bullets in the same hole. We offer our condolences and sympathy to his family, as Vee passed away recently. He also had the distinction of being the oldest member of JCGS. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 147 JCGS Photo Album Vee Jones recently brought this picture into the JCGS office to see if any of the members could identify the people in the picture below. If anyone knows their identity, feel free to contact the Society with the names. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 148 JCGS Photo Album Elizabeth Wilson, JCGS member recently brought this picture to the society office. She says that the picture is either the 1953 or 1955 graduating class of Glenville High School. Front Row, left to right: Odell Bumgarner, Leland Evitt.

If anyone knows the other people, feel free to let us know. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 150 JCGS Photo Album Our October fund raiser was termed to be a success. Plans are already in the making or the next one. Food, fun, fellowship, (and some friendly bidding against one another) was had. Live music was provided by the Deitz Family and Children of Zion, with George Frizzell telling a tale of Jackson County history. Along with a silent auction, raffle tickets were sold for the items shown above with their respective winners: a Scott Hotaling original picture was won by Linda Ledford (on the left); and another one was won by JCGS member, Norma Bryson Clayton (on right). The felted hat, handmade by JCGS member, Mary Buchanan Smith, was won by Karen Monteith, JCGS Office Manager and member. Thank you to all who donated and participated in the event. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 151 2015 Officer Reports Following is the Officer reports for 2015. The Treasurer’s Report for the entire year will be included in the Winter 2016 issue, after the end of the year. President Tim Osment Publicly recognizing contributions is often fraught with peril. The fear of omitting someone creates an apprehension that lurks before, during, and after any mentions. However, there comes an undeniable moment when gratitude overcomes all other sentiments and nothing is as appropriate as expressing a heartfelt ad humble thank you. Looking back on a successful ear filled with bustle and joy, this is one of those moments. Thank you to our members. You are the heart and soul of our society and are the primary reason we do not as individuals, but as a collection of individuals, as a group. Thank you to our board and office volunteers. Your dedication and endless hours keeps the “train on the track.” Or to use a more appropriate genealogical metaphor, you care for every limb, ever branch, every bough of our extended family tree. Thank you to our financial supporters. From those who stop by and drop a dollar in the jar, to those who faithfully renew their annual memberships, to those who step up and contribute when the fiscal slopes get slippery, to those who underwrite our research, publications, and activities, both in private and in full view, we would not exist without you. Thank you to those who enjoyed and presented our monthly programs. The music was lively, the topics were interesting, and the pleasant surprises were many. Each second Thursday resembled a mini-family reunion. And, something to look forward to, in 2016 we plan to add food to our fellowship and open each program with a reception and light refreshments. Finally, thank you to God for creating families, both extended and close-by. Connecting those who came before us with those who are still on the way is a true mission of The Jackson County Genealogical Society. We are comforted and our lives are made richer with the stories, wih the memories, and with the knowledge we preserve, share and pass on. So, once again, for both your financial and personal support, thank you. Co Vice President & I.T. Jason Gregory It has been a very rewarding past year for me personally, while serving on the Board of Directors for Jackson County Genealogical Society. We continue to have wonderful programs each month, that have been well attended and several which have had power-point presentations and or photographs. I have enjoyed both meeting and assisting our guests on these nights. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 152 One facet of my responsibilities is to continually scan and likewise digitize records pertaining to the history of Jackson County and its people. This years project, the complete digitization of the Mead Corporations employee magazine, The Sylvan. This collection spans the years 1950-1974. This collection was made possible by the efforts of the late Hattie Hilda Allison. This work is available on CD in the JCGS office. My 2016 goal is the digitization of the Ledgers of William Holland Thomas’ Scotts Creek store for the years 1832-1860. These Ledgers are probably the oldest group of records in the existence concerning pre-Jackson County families in its present location. Office Manager Karen Nicholson The Society office has been open throughout 2015 staffed by our dedicated volunteers. Grateful appreciation is extended to Bill Crawford, Jason Gregory, James Monteith, Larry Morton, Marilyn Morton, Kenneth Nicholson, Deanne Roles, Ruth Shuler, Sam Shuler, Mary Wachacha, and Sanji Watson for the many hours they have spent as volunteers. The office schedule remains 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturdays. At this time visitor patterns do not require additional hours. Visitors from many counties of North Carolina and other states have toured the office this year and have been assisted in their genealogical research. In addition to the regular office operation, a major effort during the year was a very successful fundraiser held in October. Again appreciation is due to many members for their willingness to help in all possible ways. Web Master Deanne Gibson Roles Our website has been busy in 2015. The data from December 2014 thru November 2015, shows that we have had 28,440 visits to our website, www.jacksoncountyncgenealogicalsociety.org, during that time period. Most of the visits have come directly to our home page, with those who are coming in via a search engine, with Google being used more than any other search engine. We have averaged 2400 visits per month or 547 visits per week. The most visited page is our home page with our civil war pages, photo album, and bookstore pages following close behind. We welcome any material that members would like to send for publication on the website. We have re-named the Facebook discussion group “Jackson County NC Families” and the membership on that page has increased to almost 200. It is a page on which people with Jackson County connections can talk with others and exchange information. This, of course, is a vital part of any genealogical society. We now have an official Jackson County NC Genealogical Society Facebook page where all of our events and items of general interest concerning the society are posted. Teresa Deitz Manring is facilitating that page. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 153 Librarian Marie Clark Our library is continuing to grow with donations of books, magazines, collections from newspapers that have been collected for years, and even a collection of yearbooks from Western Carolina University. With the new donations coming in, there is always something to check out. Editor Sanji T. Watson Journeys Through Jackson is still going strong with members and people of the communities of Jackson County who have been extremely generous to donate materials for our publication. Thank you to all who have donated stories, pictures, family histories, or ideas to us for inclusion into the JTJ. We have republished several of our books this year, which means that people are continuing to purchase them. Plans are in the works to republish several more books in the coming year to keep up with the demand. We currently have 266 members across the United States, 2 in foreign countries, and currently have 35 exchanges with other societies and libraries across the US. Give someone this Christmas the gift that will keep giving all year long! Consider giving someone a membership to the Society. They will receive all the benefits that you enjoy. Gift cards are available to announce your gift to them. For more information, contact the JCGS office. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 154 Where Our Members Live Below is a map of the United States, and each member is accounted for in their own state.

Receiving this award for his many years of participation in the annual Mountain Heritage Day, was R. O. Wilson. He has been a tireless worker, keeping the heritage of our area alive with many presentations, stories, and demonstrations. Congratulations to R.O. for a job well done. Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2015 158 Jackson County Historical Association President, (and one of our own), Joe Rhinehart, presents to William “Bill” Crawford, the NC Folklore Society’s 2015 Brown- Hudson Award. It is given to individuals who contribute to the study or continuation of folk traditions of North Carolina. Bill is well known as a genealogist with knowledge of many of the families in Jackson County. He has presented, with others, a program on old working tools for the Society. He was a big part of the cemetery books of not just Jackson County, but other counties as well. He is a modest man, but, we can honestly say that this is a well deserved award for him.

Proof of this is fro the Blanton Family Bible now located in the Oak Grove Methodist Church at Ellenboro, NC. The Bible previously belonged to Mrs. C. A.

On 18 Jun 1865 after the war was over, he signed an Oath of Allegiance to the USA and was released. He stated in the Oath that his home was Rutherfordton, Rutherford Co., NC. He was shown to be light complected, had light hair, blue eyes and was 5 feet 10 ½ inches high. Family lore is that it took Stephen 6 months to return home. In 1869, Stephen and Sarah sold land to Elijah M. Sweezy, Bk 49 pg 346. Elijah must have been a close friend, since Stephen named one of his sons, Elijah Sweezy Blanton, born 1856 They were probably getting ready to move to Texas. 1870 Census, Hickory Grove Post Office Rutherford Co., NC, pg 291, family #40 Stephen 49 Sarah 47 Samuel 16 Elijah 14 Sarah 12 Lydia 10 He and his family moved to Fannin Co., TX, taking 11 weeks and arriving in January 1871.

McBrayer, Bk 60 pg 171. This was probably conducted by mail, since there is no family lore about them traveling back to North Carolina. Sarah died in 1889 and was buried on their property, since a blizzard had hit and it was too cold and bad to take her to Whitwright. Land was set aside for a cemetery and she was reburied there. It later became the Blanton Cemetery. Stephen died in 1900 and was buried next to Sarah. Later, son Elijah and his wife, Maggie were buried next to Stephen and Sarah. The cemtery was named E. S.

Blanks indicate torn places in the newspaper clipping from which the story was transcribed. MRS. JULIA BLANTON RECALLS FOUR WARS ON 98TH BIRTHDAY Mrs. Julia Blanton of Whitewright, mother of Mrs. Walter Badgett, 1317 South Mirick, quietly celebrated her ninety-eight birthday Aug 4 and recalled four wars in her experiences of almost a century, three quarters of which have been spent in Grayson and Fannin counties. Beginning with the War between the states, her experiences extend through the Spanish-American War and World War I to the present conflict in which she has grandsons, great-grandsons and great-great grandsons in the service. Born Aug 4, 1847, in Rutherford County, North Carolina on a farm near Broad river, Mrs. Blanton was 16 years old when the War between the States disrupted her way of life. Her father had to leave his family and join the Confederate Army, leaving his wife and six children. He served two years in the army, and was taken prisoner just before the end of the war ___ which delayed his return six months. The war interrupted Julia’s ___ nance, too. She was engaged to ___ Ben Blanton, who lived ___ Broad River, but their wedding plans were postponed two ___ until the fall of 1865, be ___ of his service in the army. A FRIGHTENING INCIDENT: During the war years Julia and her mother and family worked night and day to survive. She remembers working at the spinning wheel and loom, plowing in the field, of chopping and hoeing their crops and of swapping yards of ___ eans, made at home for one bushel of corn to be ground into meal for food. One incident Mrs. Blanton particularly remembers was the day two men rode to their house on two fat, sleek horses. She realized they were Yankees or guerrillas. No Confederate owned fat horses. They demanded loudly to know if there were any women there, and Julia slipped out the back door quickly and uielty as she could and ran down the road to a nearby mill, which was operated by ___ uncle, the only man in the neighborhood exempt from service ___ to operate the grist mill. Julia kept ___ even after the horsemen ___ to her rescue with a gun. The horsemen turned and rode away for, says Julia, “they were afraid of men.” IN WAGON TRAIN: After her marriage she lived on a farm in Rutherford until 1871 when they came to Texas in a nine-wagon train, which traveled 11 weeks through Georgia and Louisiana to reach Fannin County and settle near relatives at Ely. Later the couple moved to Pilot Grove to start the farming career in Texas. They became successful land owners, and Mr. Blanton operated a gin at the Bethel community. They moved to Whitewright in 1930, and Mr. Blanton died there in 1935 at the age 92. Mrs. Blanton’s hobby for many years has been the piecing of quilts. She made all the quilts required for her family. Other hobbies were horseback riding and cooking, an art in which she excelled Until three years go, she made pies for all occasions. Last week she was most anxious to make a pie for her birthday. “I’ve done a heap of cooking in my time,” she says, “and a lot of cooking for hands on the farm, but I always did like to make pies.” She never saw a cook-stove or used one ___ she came to Texas. ___ learned to cook on a ___ and in a fireplace. “But what’s the difference?” she asked, “it’s what you cook that matters.” The latest in culinary equipment hasn’t bothered her. She contends, “it’s the recipes that count.” BELIEVES IN COOPERATION: Mrs. Blanton is the mother of ten children, five of whom have died. Children are: Mrs. Badgett, Mrs. Addie Sweatt, who resides with her mother, Albert Blanton, Oklahoma City, Jim Blanton, Lubbock; and Jesse Blanton, Houston. She has more than 30 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren and great great grandchildren. A member of the First Baptist Church for many years, she received over 100 cards and gifts from her church friends on her birthday. “Wars are hard on women,” she said, “but they will always do their share.” She always has.

Thought they may bring memories or comments. FORESTRY FACTS OF JACKSON CO. In the past ten years one and half million seedlings have been planted in Jackson County. These seedlings have planted 1500 acres in trees. Jackson County has co-operated with the North Carolina Forestry Service in fire protection for the past 20 years. Jackson County gives $1000 per year as their part for fire control, with the use of these funds the county is protected by fire warden and the fire damage has been cue 75 percent, and acreage has been cut even more. In the past ten years Jackson County Farmers through the cooperation of the AAA program have thinned and cleaned approximately 3646 acres of woodland and this has improved the stands of timber due to the fact that most valuable species were left on the ground and given a better chance to make better timber. In 1943 North Carolina stood fourth in the Nation in the production of lumber in the United States and Jackson County with her 26 sawmills in operation has played a very important part in the production of this large amount of lumber produced in North Carolina. During the present emergency the sawmills in Jackson County have furnished a large amount of choise hardwood lumber to the war effort. Jackson County has in forest land 217,250 acres or 78 percent of the total land area is Forest Land. HOW TO COOK A WIFE A good many wives are entirely spoiled by mismanagement in cooking, and so are not tender and good. Some men keep them too constantly in hot water; others freeze them; others put them in a stew; others roast them; others keep them constantly in a pickle. It cannot be supposed that any wife will be good and tender managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. Don’t keep her in the kettle, by force, as she will stay there herself if proper care is taken. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call “kisses”, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves her, but it must be used with judgment. Do not try her with something sharp to see if she is becoming tender… Stir her gently the while, lest she lie too long in the kettle and become flat and taste-less. If you will follow these directions you will find her very digestible, agreeing nicely with you, and she will keep as long as you want.
