From the Editor For 17 years, Journeys Through Jackson has been produced and edited by Robert Larry Crawford. Through hard work and perseverance, he has taken the journal from its humble beginnings to the award winning publication that we all receive. He has informed, educated, and at times entertained us with the information that he has collected, been gifted with, and allowed to use by members and friends of the society alike. He has dedicated untold hours to ensuring that our journal was as good as he could make it. He is and will continue to be a valuable resource for the society. As the new Editor, I stand in awe of the tremendous work and effort that Larry has given the society as Editor. I have no hesitation in saying I cannot begin to fill his shoes, only hope that I can follow in his footsteps. Thank you, Larry, for all the work you have done and will continue to do for the society. Larry and I graduated from Sylva-Webster High School in 1963. Our paths did not cross again until I became principal at Smoky Mountain High School in 1994. Larry was one of the best teachers that I have had the opportunity to observe. His history classes were filled with students who were required to take most of his classes. Although the classes were required, they came to love history and the teacher who made history come alive. Larry respected his students and they respected him. One of his classes that drew my attention to his rapport and respect from students was World Religions. Although this class was not required and was listed as an elective it was always filled with students who knew that Larry would continue to expect their best and they would respond with their best work. Larry is very knowledgeable of the families of Jackson county. He is able to tell you about your cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, parents and most other relatives that you might have. Larry has for a number of years been the Editor of Journeys Through Jackson. His knowledge of and research for articles are impeccable. His work ethic is never ending and his ability to write transcends you into the past as if you were there. Larry, I know that "rest" is not in your vocabulary so I know that you will continue to research and write. As one famous person stated, "Thanks for all the memories that you bring to life for us." — Kenneth E.

Our condolences to members: Naomi Beck Seago, R. O. Wilson, Rachel Brown Phillips, Edith Jamison Cabe, Jim Wheatley, and Pearl Brown Smith on the passing of their family members. A good friend to the society, who allowed us to interview her and put her life on paper, passed away on 2 Jan 2013. Mrs. Nancy Jane Shook' Chastain passed away after a long and eventful life. She enjoyed being independent, having her own garden, canning and making quilts for people in need. She was born on 23 Oct 1909 to James Marion and Clercy Jane Hooper Shook, She will be missed by many. ^ Q u e r y We received two queries from Mrs. Linda McGuire of Durant, Oklahoma. She is a great-granddaughter of James and Elizabeth Parker Moore. Hopefully, some of the members may be able to help Mrs. McGuire. First Inquiry: Would anyone have information about: Elizabeth J. Parker; b. 25 Aug 1840 in North Carolina, d. 12 Jan 1904, Indian Territory, Oklahoma. She married James A. Moore; b 5 Apr 1830 in North Carolina, d. 10 Mar 1910. They came to Indian Territory about 1890. Their daughter, Ella Wike remained in East La Porte. North Carolina. My grandmother, Lula Caro Wells, lived in Indian Territory. Second Inquiry: Does anyone know where the Masonic Lodge was located in East La Porte? James A. Moore, a carpenter, is supposed to have carved the door to this lodge, and I would like a picture of it.

Battle, Jr. and Kay Keefer Monteith received the JCGS Patron Award for their benevolent support of the Society. The Daniel Washington Deitz Memorial Award was presented to longtime JCGS Vice-President B. B. "Bud" Cantrell. Bud has served the Society in numerous ways, most notably as one of the program chairmen, and always with his trademark grin. Winner of the Robert Lee and Drucilla Holden Award for Distinguished Service to Genealogy was Jane. Gibson Nardy. A JCGS life member, Jane is the author of several books, many articles (including some for this publication), and is one of the mainstays of the Cashiers Historical Society. Accepting her award with her usual wit and grace, Jane gave an anecdotal story that proves the "superiority" of genealogists. Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 These Photographs are two of the many from the estate of our late member Willa Mae Dills Scroggs. While we are not sure of the identities of these persons, the pictures are interesting examples of social history relative to style. Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 Also from the Scroggs pictures, and speaking of social history, we don't find it bizarre to add a picture of "Old Sparky," the state's electric chair.

JCGS members Jim and Jean Hooper Scott of Tryon provided a generous start-up fund to originate this program. A Society committee was named and it has since met to establish the scholarship rules and parameters. Applicants must be students at Smoky Mountain High School, Blue Ridge High School and Early College, Jackson County Early College, or the Jackson County School of Alternatives. The applicant must also write an essay related to family or genealogical research. The winners will then report to the Society within one year. In the first year, two scholarships valued at $750.00 each are to be awarded. Checks will then be made to the college or university of the winners. W o u l d y o u l i k e t o c o n t r i b u t e? Make checks specifically to the Scott Foundation Scholarship Fund, and send to the Society's post office address. This gift, of course, is tax deductible.

The following article was written and submitted by JCGS member Don Casada. Its principal subject, Elizabeth Holt, is a granddaughter of JCGS member Christine Cole Proctor.] Close on the heels of dog days, on a warm September morning, a shuttle boat carried a gathering of folks across Fontana Lake. Shortly after leaving the launch area at Cable Branch, the boat passed over the streambed of what was once a fine mountain river. From way back in the mountains, hundreds of feeder streams laughed, jumped, played, and sang along their descending way. Boisterous waters showered diamond sprays of life onto the stream banks where ramps, sarvis, squirrel corn, bluets and yellow root reaped the blessings of their contagious joy. They were living, life giving waters. Trickles became branches, branches became forks, and forks became creeks. The accumulated collections fed the Oconaluftee, Tuckaseigee, Nantahala and Little Tennessee Rivers, waters eons older than the Cherokee names which predated the arrival of white men. The Tuckasegee, a man among men flowing on an east-west course, met the south-to-north flowing lady of the Little Tennessee. It was love at first sight, and the couple was married near the place that would become the little town of Bushnell. Tuck, the gentleman, defied human convention and took on the name of his bride. Although they called themselves the Little Tennessee, it was Tuck's east-west course that they followed from that point on, in deference to his better judgment. For Tuck, unlike the sweet Little T, drew much of his life blood from the Great Smoky Mountains which they would skirt along the rest of their way. Of all those who traveled these mountains, no one knew every holler like Old Tuck. Now more mature in demeanor than in their earlier rambunctious ways, the two that were now one inclined to a gentler course, as if on a front porch swing of a Sunday afternoon. But they could still kick up their heels every now and then. Like all couples, they'd occasionally have their issues, separating to the left and the right around Calhoun Island near Wayside. Differences resolved, they rejoined hands downstream, and the family continued to grow along the way. Damned by progress and dammed by the TVA, laughter and family ties along this section of the Little Tennessee have been silenced and broken for seven decades. The life-giving energy from North Carolina Counties of Jackson, Macon (Macon's part includes a charitable donation from Rabun County, Georgia), Graham and Swain is deadened by the dam, harvested by turbines, and sent by wires without payment into Tennessee. The formerly vibrant river lies buried beneath 370 feet of stagnant water and silt accumulation at the point where our boat passed over. Our destination was Hazel Creek, a place where unhindered waters still flow and echoes of laughter yet linger, unreachable by the roads of an uncivilized world. There are those who despair the lack of road access to this land, including some of our little company. A sense of betrayal by the same federal government - which took the land that many called home - underlies the despair. But were there now a road to this place, I fear that the song it sings softly in minor mountain key would be lost in the discordant strife and the noise. That has certainly been the case for Cades Cove, located just across the spine of the. Smokies, where an armada of automobiles daily assault what was once a place of perspicacious people imbued with both the spirit and ability to make do. There are reasons aplenty to go to this place and others like it. I routinely find myself seeking the refuge of walking and crawling, sometimes tumbling and sliding through these mountains, most often alone. Whisperings of advice and signs of parental affection — as well as stern admonitions - from these 11 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 mountains (which are indeed our parents) are most readily perceived by the wonderfully lonesome, if . somewhat prodigal, child. ^—^ But on this day, I was glad to be in the company of some like-minded companions. Though seeking a place, ours was not a search for solitude. We were intent on congregating, cornmitting, honoring, and remembering. Proctor The particular place on Hazel Creek to which we were headed has been known since the late 1800s as Proctor. Sometime before 1830, Moses and Patience Proctor settled here and began raising a family. Their home place was on what is now known as Shehan Branch in Possum Holler. It empties into Hazel Creek - or directly into the lake itself when it is full - almost four miles from where Hazel Creek once emptied into the Little Tennessee River. The Proctors had come over the main spine of the Smokies from Cades Cove. If it was solitude and elbow room they sought, they found it. Based on the sequence of names in the 1830 Macon County census (this area is now in Swain County, but Swain wasn't formed until 1871) and knowledge of where other families located, it was likely well over a half-dozen miles to their closest neighbors. Something just felt right about this particular place, so they carved out a home and a life for themselves and their children here. Bradshaws, Cables and others were soon to come to the area, but it remained sparsely populated for decades. In 1848, Joseph Brackett composed the Shaker Hymn, "Simple Gifts". Though penned a thousand miles away near the northeastern end of the Appalachian Mountain range, the words could well have applied to the lives of Patience, Moses, and their children in the Hazel Creek valley: v / 'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free, 'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be. And when we find ourselves in the place just right, It will be in the valley of love and delight. Times and seasons pass; lives and circumstances change. The Civil War took away two of their sons, Moses, Jr. and Mansfield. Moses, Sr. died, perhaps of a broken heart, in 1864. Patience lived to see the end of the war and the return of two sons and a son-in-law, but according to family tradition described by Duane Oliver in Remembered Lives, she was never the same. She died in 1870, and is buried beside Moses on the ridge near their home. Over time, their children and their children's children drifted to and fro, ranging up the river and across the mountains back into Tennessee. Ritter Lumber Company arrived and set up a massive operation in the early 1900s, providing hundreds of jobs - for a time. But by the late 1920s, the raw materials of the entire Hazel Creek basin had been sawn, kiln dried, cut to dimension, and shipped away to become floors, furniture, books and toilet paper, so Ritter Lumber closed shop. While there were still several dozen farnilies who owned land and lived in the area, including some descendants of Moses and Patience, the vast majority of the Hazel Creek drainage was now owned by land speculators such as Jack Coburn and George Stikeleather (to whom Ritter had sold its vast holdings). Private fishing waters were established , with uninvited natives unwelcome. Physical connections to vestiges of life as it had once been were completely severed by the construction of Fontana Dam in the early 1940s. Exercising powers of what might be called pre-eminent domain with a will, TVA acquired all lands on the north shore of Fontana, removed the people and turned the land over ^ j to the Department of Interior for inclusion in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is worth 12 Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2013 / noting here that the entire area along the north shore of the Little Tennessee had been coveted for the Park ^ ^ since the 1920's; in fact, it had been included in the original park outline, drawn in 1926. hi the course of a century, Hazel Creek witnessed the coming of the first white settlers, an era of slow increase in families on subsistence farms, followed by a period of rapid industrial and job growth, an equally rapid loss of resources - an thus industry and its jobs. By the time the 1930 census was taken, there were but two dozen individuals on the entire north shore who listed saw mill or logging as their trade, and most of these were well to the east of Hazel Creek. Just over a decade later, there was to be no more permanent human presence. And yet .... even now, there is something about this place which seems to want people around, and it

With that said, on with the y ^ show: Celebrate with us as we blow our own horns about awards and honors received by the Society. Laugh with us over prescriptions for Mr. Miller's mule, which you will find in our first article. Be grateful with us for the work of JCGS members, who have contributed two wonderful sets of pictures, a pedigree chart with a cross reference, and the customary potpourri of other photographs, official records, and of course, pure genealogy from the records of Betty Cope Andrews and Betty Queen Monteith. As we said in our last 2005 issue, resolve to do more genealogy in 2006. Want a good way to help your Society? Recruit new members so that even more folks can join in this fun.

In keeping with the times, persons were not portrayed as very happy, and the elderly lady seated at the far right looks almost as grim as the one second from the left. This might well be a four-generations photograph. The man with the moustache has his hand on the shoulder of (probably) his wife.

The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit groups. From the Editor Does anyone know what season it is at the moment? Three weeks ago we were shivering through a blackberry winter that was breaking records in many places, then in the last few days we have sweltered. When we would complain as children about the weather, our very wise mother would inform us that it was ' not a bit of our business. Wise words indeed. y Join us in this issue for our usual mixture of official records, family descent, the continuation of the cemetery census we have been publishing, a small humorous recipe, and some excellent how-to materials from the North Carolina State Archives. We also, of course, have some fine old photographs for your perusal. Notice on the first page this time about our picnic announcement, and make sure to return your Holden Award nomination by August 1. If at all possible, be with us for our covered - dish meal, always a highlight of the summer. And as always, regardless of the weather, keep on digging.

Crawford. Robert Lester Crawford Jr. passed away Sunday June 2. We and R.L. would have funny conversations about the similarities of our names, even though we were not related. (R.L. was a descendant of the Macon County, thus Haywood County, Crawford family as contrasted to the Willets and Cullowhee Crawfords of Jackson County, and even though many persons have expended great genealogical efforts, those families have not been connected after 1769.) R.L. was an Air Force veteran of World War U, and was a much-liked member of our Society. We extend our sympathy to his widow, children, and grandchildren. Announcements Make your plans now to be with the Society at the annual picnic in August. On Thursday August 8 at 6:30 p.m., we will gather at the WCU picnic area for our meal and our annual awards presentation. We hope to see you there. Please find your Holden Award nomination with this issue and mail to the Society address. Sold out. The second volume of Jackson County Heritage is no longer available; therefore, members who know of persons interested in purchasing a copy should take their names and addresses for a waiting list. We will need 100 names before we can consider a reprint. Deanne Gibson Roles, our Technology Coordinator, reports that she is now placing notices of family reunions at our Website. An excellent idea.

It is hardly the scope of our publication to delve into all of the political convolutions and shenanigans centering around the status of the American Indian. In a nutshell, let it be sufficient to say that the state of North Carolina gave a halfhearted effort to provisions of the 1819 treaty which would allow the Cherokees individual reservations. These papers predate the Indian removal efforts of the 1830's by some years, and show that the Cherokees who lived in the Smoky Mountains were to be exempt from the controversies that surrounded the Trail of Tears by the mere fact that they were property owners in the state of Norm Carolina. If all of this had come to pass, then the history of our immediate area would have been somewhat different from the way it eventually transpired. We all know that a federal reservation was eventually a reality. We all also know the disgraceful way that the American Indian was treated, even if some of us' would prefer to deny the facts. But with political opinions and sermons aside, here are some factual documents from our area from the early 1820's.

Here in Jackson County, the weather changes from day to day. We have had some snow and ice, but, signs of spring are already appearing. In the next issue, we plan on running all the members names with contact information and families of interest. If you have not updated your information in a while, now would be a good time to do so. Each issue from here on out will contain, depending on space available, all new members that have joined since the last JTJ. That will give all members, new and old, a chance to see if there is anyone they would like to contact and share information with. As always, our Society owes its success to our members. You have graciously submitted and donated materials for articles and ideas for articles to the Editor. We appreciate all feedback that is given. This publication belongs to the membership as a whole and we hope that it is something that you read and reread several times. If you find yourself with a few hours of free time on your hands, please consider volunteering at the Society. We are always glad to have people come in to share their knowledge of our area and our families. Contact the JCGS office if you would like to volunteer.

    Global Luxury Brands

    No full text
    The small literature on the business of luxury fashion is located within specialist journalism and privileged ‘designer’ markets or investment banking reports. It is written primarily for clients, the global luxury brands. Neither analyse the fashion branding and management contexts within which global luxury brands and markets operate. This chapter was created to disseminate such analyses and document the principal strategic issues facing the industry. In order to address the omissions sited above, this chapter identifies and examines several overarching strategic questions. Initially it identifies and explores concepts of ‘real’ and ‘accessible’ luxury and the tensions between the two within the context of changing notions of fashion. It then analyses the strategic use of fashion by luxury brands to re-position themselves in broader markets by providing accessible luxury. The principal luxury brand groups are delineated and a number of strategic business trends are analysed such as the switch from licensing to directly operated flagship store distribution. The research methodology involved a case study about Burberry, which demonstrated a significant number of theses points. In particular the difficulty in balancing commercial objectives to grow sales through market extensions balanced with a simultaneous strategy to serve exclusive core customers. Francois Pinault, Chairman of PPR Group, highlighted this return to a ‘high luxury’ strategy in December 2006 some months after this publication

    Health system resilience and the health impacts of environmental degradation: a global analysis

    No full text
    Objectives: this study examines the impact of environmental degradation, focusing on air pollution and CO2 emissions, as key climate stressors on health outcomes, specifically pollution-related mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). The research explores how healthcare infrastructure, accessibility, quality, and policies contribute to climate resilience by mitigating pollution-related mortality and supporting adaptation to environmental stressors.Study design: using panel data from 145 countries between 2009 and 2017, the study assesses both the direct effects of environmental factors on health outcomes and the mitigating role of healthcare systems. The design incorporates variation across countries and time to better understand these relationships.Methods: panel analysis models estimate the relationship between air pollution, CO2 emissions, and health outcomes. Interaction terms between CO2 emissions and healthcare system indicators are tested to determine if stronger healthcare systems can reduce pollution-induced mortality and DALYs.Results: the study confirms that air pollution exposure is significantly linked to increased mortality and DALYs. While improved healthcare infrastructure, accessibility, and quality help mitigate some pollution-related health risks, they are insufficient to offset the long-term negative effects of CO2 emissions. The interaction terms between CO2 emissions and healthcare resilience are statistically insignificant, suggesting that even well-functioning healthcare systems cannot fully counteract the harmful consequences of environmental degradation.Conclusion: while strengthening healthcare systems is vital for enhancing resilience to air pollution, the persistent adverse effects of CO2 emissions stress the need for integrated environmental and health policies. Emission reduction strategies and stricter environmental regulations must complement healthcare improvements to effectively safeguard public health

From the Editor The Jackson County Arts Council indoor yard sale has come and gone, and we participated vigorously. We had a good day, if awfully tiring for some of our loyal volunteers. Other good days have been in the evenings when our group meets on the second Thursday. Our attendance has been a little down, but we attribute that to the fact that everyone stays so busy. v_y We trust that the membership will not find this issue top-heavy. We seem to have a lot of photographs this time over and above our regular-feature Photo Album. AH phases of genealogy are interesting, so read and enjoy the work of your fellow Society members.

Mary Katherine Sherrill Lowder received the Robert Lee and Drusilla Holden Award for distinguished service to genealogy. Mary Katherine compiled The Robert Lee Holden Family with Allied Lines of Norton and Taylor and along with her Sherrill first cousins and her sister Nancy Sherrill Wilson, completed publication of The William Robert Sherrill and Mary Cowan Sherrill Family. Mary Katherine has also contributed in many other ways to our society, both with genealogy and with other support. The Daniel Washington Deitz Memorial Award, for service to the Jackson County Genealogical Society itself, was presented to James Monteith. Always finding old pictures, volunteering at the Society office, doing many unnoticed jobs, James also serves the Society as its president. We are pleased to recognize them again here. I n S y m p a t hy We dedicate this issue of Journeys Through Jackson to the memory of Pauline Dean Ensley, Helen Davis Cooper, and Regenia Pannell Fisher. We offer our sympathy to their families. We also send condolences to JCGS members Alvin Middleton, Ronald Haskett, Pearl Smith, and Clyde Phillips, all of whom have recently lost family members. 49 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m v_7 The picture above shows Leah Rachel Bryson Sutton, daughter of Hamilton and Agnes Matilda Wilson Bryson. This is the photograph Beau Hudgins sent to Leah Sutton Heinz some years ago, (reference; p. 70). V_v In this picture, we show just how much fun genealogy can be. The baby in the photograph is Erline Murray, and she is being held by Ruth Choate, who sent the picture to Ruth Shuler in response to a query in the Grand Junction, Colorado, newspaper. Erline Murray's mother was Byrda Bolton, whose mother was Winifred Cockerham, whose father Jesse Chandler Cockerham left (in the 1840's) what would become Jackson County a few years later. \ J 50 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m A three-brothers photograph from the Speedwell community of Cullowhee. On the left is Thomas Cleveland Wilson, father of JCGS member R.O. Wilson; standing is Bub Enos Wilson; on the right is Oscar Wilson, grandfather of new JCGS member Claude Wilson of Oroville, California. All of these three men were sons of Enos and Elizabeth Bennett Wilson. Below, an image of the funeral card of their first cousin Robert Archaelus Wilson (1863 - 1887). The card is printed on heavy card stock, and was in the possession of Leah Sutton Heinz. 51 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m -'. ' i . ' r • The photograph above shows Jeremiah (Jerry) Hensley (Feb. 1848 - 3 Oct 1928) and his wife Margaret Ingabo Quilliams Hensley (20 Oct 1846 - 7 Oct 1913). They are buried at Locust Field Cemetery. • ^ 52 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m C (See next page) 53 Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2009 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m We used the photograph on the previous page in Volume I of Jackson County Heritage. In 2007 cousin Mark Blanton of Rome, Georgia, sent another (much larger) copy of the picture. We believe that it shows a singing school because the man seated (or stooped) in the center is the editor's paternal great - grandfather Crawford. He would have been one of the instructors of the school. We have always believed that the picture represented persons from the Ochre Hill, Cane Creek, and Wayehutta communities. All of those communities were closer - connected in another time than they are today, because major paved roads don't go through Cracking Chestnut Gap. Mark identifies the fourth kneeling child from the left as Harley Shuler. Just behind him, and dressed in white, would be his older sister Bessie, who married Erastus Blanton. She is holding Winford, their oldest child. Bessie and Erastus were Mark's grandparents. The other woman holding a baby is Emiline Watson Shuler, holding Annie Belle. On the extreme right in the middle row would possibly be Edward Shuler. We are guessing that identity from another photograph. The man standing third from the left in the middle row is Edd Norman, and is the maternal grandfather of the editor, Ruth Shuler, and Jean Brown. (We are his only grandchildren.) He was an outstanding tenor singer, and would have provided contrast to some of these Shulers, who were among the best bass singers we ever heard. On the back row, either that man is standing on something, or he is one of the tallest men who ever lived around here. With this photograph, we would ask JCGS member Ernestine Jones to see if her father (LaFayette or ' T a t e " Shuler) is identifiable, and we would request the same of JCGS member Harold Ensley, requesting if can find his grandmother Sadie Blanton, who was also one of these Shulers from Cane Creek. Needless to say, we would welcome any other identifications. Since we have concentrated on the Bob Shuler family here, wouldn't it be reasonable to assnme that Rachel Shuler Blanton and Jerdie Shuler Morgan are two of the young girls here? And Mark is of the opinion that Johnny Shuler is just in front of his mother Emiline. We would guess that this picture was made about 1912 or 1913. ^f ^J 54 Journeys Through Jackson S p r i n g 2009 W o r l d W a r I I C l i p p i n g s [Ed.

Our question would be if this man (Walter M. Burrell) was a brother-in-law of David L. Shelton. Furthermore, was the Bright Burrell of reference here also a brother-in-law?

The capt was to erace Bright Burrells name and place my name on the roll Bright Burrell never served a day in the company. I served in my own name I had no relation with Bright Burrell...I haven't received any pay for my service as a soldier no land warrant as your record will show] David L. Shelton (his mark) [Ed.
