Journeys Through Jackson Spring 2016 55 One Hundred Year Old Friendship Quilt JCGS member, Fern Parris Hensley, recently came in contact with a Friendship Quilt that was completed in 1916. She patiently researched all of the names that were represented on the quilt. She has succeeded in finding all but two of the women. She has complied a book about the quilt and the women involved in its construction. The book is in our library in the office. She was helped by several people in compiling the information about the church, quilt and the people involved.

The Society accepts no advertising for this publication except for notices for other non-profit groups. From the Editor The holidays have come and gone, and we're off to another year in the genealogical society. We always hope for the best one yet. Inside your expanded (but now quarterly) publication, please find more of the same that you've come to expect. Only you can determine if the content is to your satisfaction. Certainly there is a variety of it here. ^J We begin the issue with the usual old photographs, then move into a Civil War pension file. We have more official records, an old letter, two cemeteries, emphasis on two families, and a wonderful narrative to share with you. No fewer than nine Society members contributed materials of one kind or another for our journal this time. Remember that your submissions are always welcome, and that we will make an effort to publish these if they meet the guidelines stated above in our policy statement. Are you recruiting? Know someone who would look forward to working with genealogy as much as we will all look forward to springtime? The more the merrier in this business. Only through sharing can we approach the truth, which as always should be our final goal. One type of submission that would be especially welcome would be Bible records. These are not easy to come by, and they are one of our best sources. Clean out that old trunk, folks, and share the wealth.

Wilson and Robert Cole Holebrook, who have recently lost loved ones. While y o u r p a i n of separation is very real, may you be comforted in the knowledge of its t e m p o r a r y nature. Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2004 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m KJ U We always find it encouraging when members decide to share their old photographs with us.

'^J Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2004 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m C While most of as have seen this picture or others like it many times, we are always intrigued by flood stories. (Think about this one. We live in an area where the water flows downhill in a hurry. Most of the time that flow is normal and not dangerous. When the truly excessive or tragic weather story leads to fatalities, as did the 1940 flood in Jackson County, we seem to have a morbid fascination with the high water.) Above, also shared by R.O. Wilson, is a picture of the CuUowhee bridge over old NC 107 on August 30,1940. t , Journeys Through Jackson Winter 2004 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m KJ ,#•»**>>•* *,*. 3W" W vp* fr»-^"*.*il!» 4 Mill -IfllS^ U Above, an important photograph in the history of Sylva.

M c C a l l P e n s i o n P a p e r s [Ed. The following represents a fraction of the total documentation surrounding the pension request of Jackson County Civil War soldier William L. McCall. Like a number of other men from the southern sections of the county, McCall enlisted in a Tennessee regiment that fought for the United States rather than for the Confederacy. His attempt to receive a pension for his services was complicated, to say the least. When JCGS member Anita Rudd wrote for his records, she received a stack of papers containing his petitions, rejection, eventual approval, medical diagrams, and further affidavits that contain much material of genealogical importance. We will pick up this story with a document from 1882, and continue into the widowhood of William McCall's third wife. In some places it will be necessary for us to transcribe the records; in others, the printed materials speak for themselves.] State of North Carolina Jackson County On this the 29 day of May A.D. 1882 Personally appeared before T.J.

McCall in said Company D, 9 Regt Tenn Cav Vols for a period not positively recollected but to the best of their knowledge and belief was about the 15 of January of 1865 when first he the said Wm L. McCall complained in their presents of being ruptured and the said John H. Mathis and David H. Mathis further swears that said complaint of rupture was made by him the said Wm L. McCall at or near Cantonment Springs in the state of Tennessee, and further swears that they often times heard the said Wm L. McCall begging to be excused from heavy duty such as wood getting, etc. on account of suffering from said rupture and not being able to perform such duty, and therefore have reason to believe he the said Wm L.

Mr. O'HABA, from tlie Committee on Invalid Pensions, submitted the following R E P O R T : [To accompany bill H. R. 4632.] The 'Committee on Invalid Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H, R. 4632) granting a pension to William fj. McCall, have had the same under consideration, and submit the following report: Applicant's claim is based on an alleged rupture in lower part of ab­domen, caused from bard riding while in the service of the United States and in the line of duty. Claimant states under oath that he was ruptured on both sides in January, 1865, from hard ridiug at Sevierville, Tenn.; was in no prior service; was captured by a party of rebels at Sevierville, Tenn.. in January, 1865, and after being beaterj with guns in the' hands of the 'enemy, he was placed on a very lean horse, without saddle or bridle, and ran some 20 miles before he was released by Union soldiers. Thinks above causes produced the double rupture, which is worse ou left side. H-. M. Hooper, late sergeant Company D, Ninth Tennessee Cavalry, deposes that about the last month of 1864, while the company was at Pontooman Springs, Tenn., applicant first complained of rupture, and was excused from duty; he refused to enter a hospital, and was treated by regimental surgeon in camp and cared for by his friends for a period, length of which is not recollected; was then taken to a private house in Tennessee, where he remained for some time before he rejoined his company; seemed to suffer considerably during remainder of his service; that he was acquainted with applicant several years before his enlistment, and, to the best of his knowledge and belief, applicant was a sound man, free from disease at enlistment. "William B,. and Alfred M. Hooper, late privates of Company D, Ninth .Tennessee Cavalry, testified substantially as above, and further, that they believe the rupture wascaused by the applicant's falling into, the hands of the rebels, who, it is said, placed him ou a horse without sad­dle and ran him a distance of 20 miles before he was released, and that he complained of said rupture just after said release. John H. and D. H. Matthews, comrades, late of Company D, Ninth Tennessee Cavalry, besides corroborating theforegoing wituesses; stated they ofteq heard applicant begging to be excused from duty on account of rupture; that they knew claimant prior to and at the time of his en­listment, and that he was sound and healthy and free from rupture.

MoCall, having examined the same, report: That the testimouy which was before the Commissioner of Pensions was carefully examined, and, being satisfied that the report of the House committee (No. 700), who also examined this claim, is sustained by the proof in the case, do adopt the said report, as herein set forth, as a part hereof, as follows: Applicant's claim is based oo an alleged r.upture in lower part of abdomen, caused from hard riding while in the service of the United States and in the line of duty.

      The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

      Photosynthetic organisms often encounter oxidative stresses due to changes of environmental conditions. In this study, two glutathione peroxidase (GPX) homologous genes, namely NJ-18Gpx1 and NJ-18Gpx2, were identified in Chlorella sp. NJ-18, a single-celled green alga. The two NJ-18Gpx genes can produce 2 or 3 transcript variants by alternative splicing, predicted to encode 4 non-selenium GPX proteins (NS-GPX). Expression of the two genes was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR in Chlorella sp. NJ-18 exposed to various treatments known to generate reactive oxygen species. Neutral red, a singlet oxygen-generating photosensitizer, significantly increased the expression of NJ-18Gpx1 within 5 h. Exposure of algal culture to UV-B for 3 h caused up-regulation of mRNA levels of NJ-18Gpx1 and NJ-18Gpx2 by 4- and 50-folds, respectively. Similar to CrGPX5 and CrGPX3 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, purified recombinant NJ-18GPXs showed activities of thioredoxin-dependent peroxidases that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. The V-max values for NJ-18GPX1 toward different peroxides were approximately 10-fold higher than those for NJ-18GPX2. In addition, overexpression of NJ-18Gpx1 in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, a cyanobacterium, enhanced its tolerance to neutral red and H2O2. These results indicate that NJ-18GPXs can act as efficient peroxide scavengers protecting cells from oxidative damages in Chlorella. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

      “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
