Mrs. Lillie Cagle Rhinehart
Webster lost its oldest and one
of its highly respected citizens
when Mrs. Lillie Cagle Rhinehart
died August 26, 1976. She had
celebrated her ninety-fifth birthday.
August 13 with her family
and friends at the home built by
her husband in 1940 on the site of
the old courthouse. There she had
continued to live since his death
in 1944 with her son Joe and his
wife Kate Moore Rhinehart.
Mrs. Rhinehart, born August
13, 1881, was the youngest of lhe
ten children of Evan Harvey
Cagle and Margaret Barker Cagle.
Six brothers: Allen D., John
Wesley, Jason U. , William Coleman,
Candler Collins, and Jesse
Columbus; and three sisters:
Rachel, Cordelia, and Emma Etta,
preceded her in the family
line-up. She had one half sister,
Annie Cagle, through her father's
marriage, after the death of his
first wife, to Florence Hall Long.
Although Mrs. Rhinehart and
her immediate family had always
lived in Jackson County ,
her Cagle ancestors were first
heard of in the little town of Whynot
in Randolph County, North
Carolina. Some of those Cagles,
like so many families of those
early times, moved toward !he
western part of the state. We
Jearn of a Leonard Cagle in Haywood
County around 1815. 1n the
Haywood census of 1820 he is
listed as the head of his household.
An old deed shows Leonard
Cagle had bought property and
settled in the Hemphill section of
Jonathan 's Creek in the Ivy Hill
Township of Haywood County.
John Cagle, son of Leonard and
Rachel Fox Cagle, was the father
of Evan Harvey Cagle and !he
grandfalher of Mrs. Lillie Rhinehart.
Harvey Cagle, born in 1839,
came to Jackson County in 1859 to
teach , for twenty dollars a
month , in a four-month school on
Sutton Branch. He must have
boarded at the home of Jason
Barker who lived on Grasshopper,
a section of Webster Township.
Barker owned land there,
and it was not long before he and
Harvey , as partners , began securing
considerable property, most
of it through state land grants, in
this area. This property, known
as Jason 's Branch, was later
called Cagle Branch.
Jason Barker's daughter Margaret,
whose mother was Catherine
Cabe, and Harvey Cagle were
married February 21, 1861 by W.
C. Buchanan, J . P. Witnesses to
the ceremony, according to the
marriage certificate preserved
by Harvey's granddaughter ,
Mrs. Margaret Mason of Dillsboro,
were George Watkins and
Larkin Mooney.

North Carolina Troops in the War
Between the States by John W.
Moore, Evan Harvey Cagle was a
private in Co. G. 69th N. C. Regiment
from Jackson County. After
his term of service in the Confederate
Army, he returned to Jackson
County where, like all other
white males twenty-one and over,
he was required to take the oath
of amnesty and swear allegiance
to the United States Constitution
and the Union of the States before
he could regain his citizenship
rights. (An account of this appeared
in Historic Webster, summer
issue, 1975.)

themselves in the Webster
area and devoted their time
to farming, to the business of
community life, and to the rear-

ing of their family. Their youngest
child Lillie gives a delightful
account of living in the country in
"The Kitchen ," a chapter in The
Webster Cookbook.
Harvey at one time was a
justice of the peace and served
for seven years, 1901-1908, as the
postmaster at Webster. According
to Mildred Cowan's article
"The Webster Mailbox" (Historic
Webster, Volume I, Issue 3)
" His daughter Lillie recalled
serving as her father's clerk. Her
job was to separate, count, and
back stamp all incoming first
class mail, write money orders,
and make up route deliveries.
Mrs. Rhinehart states at that
time all Little Savannah (then
known as Harris), Long Branch ,
Cullowhee , and Cashiers mail
came through the Webster Post
Office. On February 18, 1908,
Harvey Cagle was succeeded by
his son Jesse C. Cagle, who
served as postmaster until June
27, 1908."
Lillie Cagle and Joseph Wayne
Rhinehart, a resident of Webster,
were married January 8, 1905 at
Webster by the Reverend Alfred
Davis. Mrs. Rhinehart was twenty-
three and her husband, twenty-
four.
The Rhineharts Jived in Webster
for a number of years where
Joe was associated with his
father Will Rhinehart in the
mercantile business. Joseph
Wayne, Jr. was born in Webster,
August 1909. He was an infant
when the big fire of 1910 destroyed,
along with a number of
other buildings, Webster's Mountain
View Hotel. It was at that
time owned by a Mr. Brown of
Asheville and managed by the J .
W. Rhineharts. Mrs. Rhinehart
describes vividly in an interview ,
published in the first issue of Historic
Webster. February, 1974,
her traumatic experience of that
memorable evening.
After that, the Rhineharts managed
hotels in Sylva and in Bryson
City, and lived for brief
periods in Canton and WinstonSalem.
On returning to Webster
in about 1915, Mrs. Rhinehart
settled once more into the community
in order that Joe Jr.
might enter school. Mr. Rhinehart,
meanwhile worked for a
number of years in Bluefield,
West Virginia before returning to
Webster to operate a general
store. He was still engaged in this
when he died in 1944.
All through those years, Mrs.
Rhinehart was quietly active in
community affairs. The Webster
Methodist Church counted her as
one of its faithful members in !he
Sunday School, and in the Ladies'
Aid - later called the Woman's
Missionary Society. She held for
years offices in both and was
church communion steward until
!he day of her death.
When the Webster Historical
Society celebrated its organization
in July of 1974, Mrs. Rhinehart
was chosen Mrs. Historic
Webster, a title she held along
with Arlhur Allman, Mr. Historic
Webster. The scroll presented to
her on this July 4 states: "In
respectful recognition of her seniority
as a citizen of Webster, her
quiet dignity and prudence, we
are proud to acknowledge this
lovely lady as neighbor and
appreciate her merits and contributions
to the community of
Webster."
Mrs. Rhinehart liked to reminisce
about early Webster but she
did not live in !he past. Her alert
mind was tuned to current happenings
on the national and even
"Nanniehart" In 1974.
international scene. Part of her
daily interest was life about her.
She exercised her citizen's right
to vote until this past summer
when she became too ill to take
part in !he primary.
"Nanniehart," as she was affectionately
called by her family,
was intensely Joyal to its members
and to her friends. There
were no finer grandsons than
Joe Parker and Jim, and she took
great pride in their achievements.
The welfare of son Joe,
especially when he worked away
from home, was her great concern.
She spent time and money
on carefullY. selected gifts for
!heir birthdays and special holidays.
Eagerly she looked forward
to visits from Jim and Cl~ire,
their young daughters Cheryl and
Valerie, and Joe Parker and his
wife Florence.
As long as she was physically
able, Mrs. Rhinehart loved to
"go." Uncomplainingly she traveled
in the Sixties to !he weddings
of both grandsons, one in
Georgia and the other in Kentucky.
"Nanniehart" loved flowers
and vegetable gardening and
spent many_ years working with
both. Even . after her physical
strength began to wane, she
supervised, or attempted to do so,
the planting and cultivation of
such. She also enjoyed simple
sewing and crocheting.
Although in her last years she
had to be content with reading,
visits from her neighbors, or
watching selected television programs
(The Little House on the
Prairie was her favorite), she
never spoke of being bored. Pride
in her personal appearance continued
to the very last. She loved
pretty clothes and frequently acquired
new ones. When she became
physically unable to visit
the hairdresser's shop in Sylva,
the hairdr.esser came at regular
intervals to her home in Webster.
Independence of mind and body
was an outstanding trait of Mrs.
Rhinehart. She had enjoyed all
her life great physical stamina
and, though partially paralyzed
from a stroke suffered fifteen
months before her death, she was
still determined to "do" for herself.
To her family this independence
at times became a
quiet stubborness which created
some problems. Nevertheless, it
was this factor that kept her alert
almost to the day of her death.
The neighbors miss Mrs.
Rhinehart's sitting in her rocker
in the living room or in the wheel
chair on the porch; but no one
will begrudge her her wellearned
rest.
As granddaughter-in-law
Claire remarked, "We shall not
mourn "Nanniehart's" death for
she lived a long and happy life
surrounded by those who loved
and cared for her.''
Fortunate indeed was !his good
woman who had spent !he greater
number of her days in !he warm
intimacy of family and small
community life.

This article about her grandfather,
Captain James Wharey
Terrell, was written many years
ago by Annie Lizzie Terrell (now
Mrs. Carl Hoyle of Bryson City)
only daughter of Joel Keener
Terrell and Laura Viola Cooper
Terrell . The date of writing was
approximately 1929 during the
time Annie was a student at
Western Carolina Teachers' College.
She submitted it in an essay
contest which was being held on
the campus at that time. Information
for the article was
supplied by her parents and by
her cousin, William Ernest Bird,
Dean of WCTC, and also a grandson
of Captain Terrell.

At the age of three years he
moved with his parents to Rutherfordton,
where, until the age of
fifteen , he had the advantage of
an academy until he had a fair
start in the common school branches.
This was practically all he
was able to go to school. He was
considered in that day and time,
a well educated man. His education
, however, did not stop with
this. He enjoyed literature and
had a love and appreciation for
the finer literary productions,
which even the so-called educated
man did not have.

Menninger and Tod R. Caldwell,
October 5, 1871. This certificate is
now in the possession of his
grandson Professor W. E. Bird,
Dean of Western Carolina Teach·
ers College. After this appointment
Captain Terrell went to
Alabama where he took a con·
tract for the construction of a
railroad. He also constructed a
railroad in Georgia.
In the Civil War, he served in
the Southern regiments. He was
mustered into the service of the
Confederate Army, April 8, 1862,
as Lieutenant in a Company of
Cherokees, was promoted to Cap·
tain of the Company, but was
later given the position of Assis·
tant Quarter Master. He was then
made Captain in Thomas' Le·
gion, which position he held until
the end of the war. Several times
he was placed in the hands of
Federal Troops. He was in the
last skirmish of the Civil War.
This skirmish took place at White
Sulphur Springs near Waynesville
in Haywood County on May
8, 1865. While Colonel Thomas
was camped on Jonathan's Creek
and Colonel Love, at Turnpike,
Lieutenant Robert Conley and
Captain Terrell with a squad of
white and Indian soldiers had a
combat with the Federals who
were stationed in Waynesville.
Some believe that Lieutenant
Conley fired the last shot in the
skirmish , but Captain Terrell
states in his own biographical
sketch, in one of the early copies
of the Jackson County Journal,
that he himself fired the last shot.
A marker, erected at Waynesville
by the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, indicates the
spot where the last gun was fired
in the Civil War.
Captain Terrell was a brave
soldier not shirking his duty even
though he was facing bullets. At
one time, while the Yankees were
attacking , Captain Terrell was
moving to safety some valuable
papers and office materials. The
Yankees were within the radius
of the bank shooting at him, and
the bullets were glancing on the
bank against surrounding walls.
He noticed one bullet especially,
and he finally found this one
which he carried many years as a
souvenir of this skirmish.
Prior to the Civil War, he held
two offices in the U. S. Government,
Postmaster at Quallatown
and Disbursing Agent for the
Cherokee Indians. An incident
that he would sometimes relate
was that in carrying the Indians'
gold in saddlebags on horseback
across the Smoky Mountains ,
from Knoxville, Tennessee, back
to Cherokee, he would be obliged
to spend nights at different
homes along the road. One dark
night he was compelled to spend
the night at a strange house. He
did not know the character of the
people. He was almost afraid to
go to bed, feeling the safety of the
gold was uncertain. In the night
he suddenly awoke to hear deep
breathing which seemed to come
from under his bed. As he lay
breathless trying to think what to
do, the person in the adjoining
room moved and he found he had
only heard this man breathing
through the wide cracks in the
ceiling.
He, at one time, while living at
Qualla, had a house burned in
which some gold was stored. The
family was at church. On returning
home, they found their home
in ashes. The ashes were sifted
but no trace of gold could be
found. It was believed the house
had been robbed and afterwards
set on fire.
About 1860 the Democrats of
Jackson County sent him to the
Legislature. His opponents were
Jas. M. Candler and William
Bumgarner. Captain Terrell received
451 votes , Candler 402,
Bumgarner 94. In 1880-81 Captain
Terrell was Representative in the
General Assembly. He manifested
great interest in the political
and educational affairs of Jack·
son County ; in fact he wrote and
had printed an account of the
formation of Jackson County. In
1865 he was elected Chairman of
the Board of Education. In a
report to the County Commission·
ers (the meeting being held in
Captain Terrell 's store) the
Chairman made a report that the
school fund as provided for was
3,593.11 and
had an average term of fourteen
weeks. Three colored schools ran
a term of twelve weeks at a cost
of $244.80. The office of the
Chairman of the Board of Education
was a bonded office. Captain
Terrell received school money,
paid the teachers, and was chair·
man of the committee for examination
of teachers. His associates
on that committee were
Dr. M. L. Love and Judge R. H.
Cannon. He said of his term in
office, "During my term of office
the schools were regularly held
and the teachers paid and no
complaint was made on that
score so far as I know."
Capt3in Terrell was married
three times . His first marriage
was to Miss Elmina Farley of
Quail a. She lived only a few
months. Afterwards he was married
to Miss Ann Eliza Keener
also of Qualla. To this union were
born six children two of whom
died in infancy. The four who
survive are Mrs. G. L. Teague of
Whittier, Mrs .. C. A. Bird of
Cullowhee, Mr. W. D. Terrell of
Washington, and Mr. J. K. Ter-·
rell of Qualla. After the death of
his second wife, he married Miss
Lula Woodfin of Franklin who
still survives. He has twentyseven
grandchildren, several
great grandchildren and two or
three great great grandchildren.
(His descendants today would, of
course , number many more. This
paper was writtm in 1929.)
Captain Terrell was a great
conversationalist. He enjoyed relating
incidents that took place
during his political career. He
would tell incidents which occurred
during his term as county
superintendent or in the legislative
halls, or in other offices.
Many times he would relate
things which had happened during
his school days and in his
Civil War career.
He was a great lover of poetry.
He composed a few poems, one of
which was "The Cherry Pie," a
humorous selection which he
often recited. He memorized several
poems in his youthful days,
which he never forgot, and would
recite them at times almost to his
dying hours. "Enoch Arden" was
one of his favorites that he
memorized and never forgot. A
Western North Carolina History
by Arthur says, "Captain Terrell
was led to give attention to the
customs and mythology of the
Cherokees, and to accumulate a
fund of information on the subject
seldom possessed by a white
man." These myths are in the
hands of his daughter, Mrs. C. A.
Bird.
Another trait of character especially
noticeable in Captain
Terrell was his interest in and
love for children. When he would
visit his grandchildren they, at
first sight of him, would rush to
meet him, almost carry him into

the home, crowd around him,
climb upon his knees, comb his
hair, stroke his beard, (he had
very fine sandy hair and a long,
well kept red beard) and say
their speeches for him. He in turn
would recite poems for them. He
enjoyed their pranks and was
amused at their witty sayings. In
his hometown it was a common
sight to see him going along the
street with a group of children,
all enjoying themselves together.
Captain T..-rell was not only a
leader in educational and political
affairs , but he was also a leader
in religious matters. Although his
forebears were for the most of
them Presbyterians, he united
with the Methodist Church in his
youthful days and always took
great interest in chUrch and
Sunday School work wherever he
lived. He was Sunday School
Superintendent for many years at
Webster where he had moved
with his family in 1878 to enter the
mercantile business. (He also
owned and operated a mill
there.) He paid liberally of his
means to the church. His house
was the preacher's home. They
often visited him and shared his
hospitality and profited by his
kind fatherly advice. Bishop McTyer
once came from a distance,
visited Captain Terrell and had
him accompany him to the Indian
school at Cherokee. Captain Terrell
was Chairman of the Board of
Stewards in the Webster church.
He and Mrs. Terrell were the
second members of that church.
Captain Terrell was present at
the first Quarterly Conference
held in Webster, December 22,
1860. He, as Chairman of the
Board of Stewards, aided in collecting
a brief historical sketch of
each of the churches in the Webster
Circuit. These facts were put
into pamphlet form and are in the
hands of his relatives now.
An incident which one of his
neighbors at Webster relates in
regard to Captain Terrell's socalled
"absent mindedness" is
rather amusing. Captain Terrell
always sat near the front during
the preaching .service. Often, it
was said of him, that he·, while the
preacher preached, would sit
motionless with his head bowed,
his chin resting on his breast, and
his eyes closed. People of the
congregation would say, " Well,
Captain Terrell is taking his
Sunday nap." But at the close of
the sermon, the preacher often
called on him to pray. As he
prayed, he would give almost an
analysis of the preacher's sermon
or rather he brought out
points in praying that proved this
was his own peculiar way of
thinking through Uie sermon.
As mentioned before, Captain
Terrell was a lover of books. His
love for goo
Jason vs GIJOE
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2019Jason vs GI JOE is partly an exercise in autobiography, an experiment in relational aesthetics, and an interdisciplinary artist project at the intersection of comic books, creative writing and performance art. This comic book, Jason vs. GIJOE, is a postmodern double erasure, based on the comic book GIJOE: Cobra II (Issue 1). The original pictures from the comic book have been removed, and replaced by a series of short narratives, describing autobiographical events from the life of the author: me, Jason. Speech bubbles from the original have been left to comment back over top of the stories, obscuring meaning but creating moments of unplanned dialogue. The comic is a readymade, twice erased: once to replace the drawings of the initial comic, and again when using the original dialogue bubbles to speak back to the narrative

Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic talk capital and Vanilla Isis and then (11:21) we welcome to the podcast the one and only Jason W. Moore from Binghamton University, author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015) and Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (PM Press, 2016). We chat with Jason about his most recent work, co-authored with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (U California Press, 2017), forthcoming this October. We talk about why he wanted to write a book for a broader audience, the problems with the “anthropocene” concept in the human sciences, how “capitalocene” can improve our thinking about world history, and how we can avoid vulgar materialism in critical environmental research and activism today. We cover the role that states and agriculture have played in shaping modern capitalism and Jason calls for a seriously engaged pluralism to tackle the urgent challenges of our era. We discuss the cheapening or thingification of life, capitalism as a gravitational field, the importance of frontiers, the violence of the Great Domestication, and why if green energy remains in the mode of “cheap fuel” nothing will change about capitalist accumulation. Jason explains why racial and gender domination are so often lacunae in critiques of petromodernity. Finally we ruminate on how to unmake the capitalist world-ecology and the key principles of the “reparation ecology” that Jason and his colleagues are calling for.

Globalization from top and below: (re)framing (brazilian) margins in two north-american documentaries
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2010This dissertation analyzes the configuration of socioeconomic and national margins in two contemporary North-American documentaries entirely filmed in Brazil--Favela Rising (Jeff Zimbalist and Matt Mochary, 2005) and Manda Bala (Jason Kohn, 2008). In an attempt to contribute to the research on the representation of Brazil in foreign films, the investigation draws upon concepts such as globalization (Appadurai, 1996; Jameson, 2003), identity (Min-ha, 1997), and difference (Appadurai, 1996; Bhabha, 1996) to approach the documentaries not as fixed representations of a given reality, but as cultural texts that might or not be articulated through the notion of nation. The hypothesis is that the analyzed documentaries are sites for the configuration of margins and, for that reason, are privileged instances to observe the constitution of identities and differences. The conclusion-reached through individual and comparative analyses-is that the documentaries present very distinct articulations of socioeconomic and national margins. On one hand, Manda Bala, through an argumentative and circular structure, reinforces socioeconomic identities circumscribed by a Brazilian national margin. Besides presenting a totalizing portrayal of Brazil, Manda Bala reproduces a colonial gaze that fixes Brazilian society as cannibal, and reinforces the dominant gaze that it seeks to criticize. On the other hand, Favela Rising, through a mainly narrative structure, moves the gaze of national proportions towards the favela of Vigário Geral, in Rio de Janeiro. Less than creating a micro-portrait of Brazil, Favela Rising suggests the existence of social formations beyond national margins, whose political strength exists in its refusal of the negative difference imposed by socioeconomic margins. Another conclusion is that the documentaries present, in an opposite and complementary manner, contradictory forces at play in globalization
