Thanks. Roger! This was of particular interest to me, because my mother (Mary Louise Taylor of Wilson County) was teaching Latin and English at Winterville High School in 1938-39 or so when she went on a blind date with "a Greenville boy", Chester Elks, who later became my father. If anyone has access to late thirties yearbooks, I'd like to correspond about getting pictures. (Looks as if I may have to buy Roger's book!)

[TRYING A SECOND TIME] I was asked to put up some of my history articles on the Mail List. I had a conversation last night about the Winterville Academy, so here is an article I wrote several months ago. I hope you find it interesting. Thanks, Roger Kammerer History of the Winterville Academy Pitt County has long had a willingness to try to educate its children as evidenced by the scores of schools in its history. It seems every community and cross roads town had its own school built either by one local man or group of citizens. The old Winterville Academy was one of these schools that were the outgrowth of people in a community trying to educate its children. The love of education in the Winterville community initially grew out of the love for learning instilled in the pupils of Mrs. Mary Smith (Miss Polly) who had taught many of them in a private school in her home. One of these students was Miss Nannie C. Cox (1865-1939) daughter of John Cannon Cox and Elizabeth Gardner. Nannie went to the Normal and Industrial Training School for Teachers in Greensboro, NC for a year and then returned home. She taught a private school in her neighborhood for several years. The village of Winterville grew up around her brother A. G. Cox’s Manufacturing Company and with his help, Nannie Cox bought a lot and had a boarding house and school built on it. The two-teacher school opened in 1895 as the “Winterville Academy.” Her two assistants in the school were Miss Mattie Tucker and Miss Leta McGowan. A number of boarding pupils from other communities were enrolled in the Winterville Academy and it became a very popular and influential school. According to an advertisement for the Winterville Academy, Miss Nannie Cox, Principal, in the local newspaper in Oct. 1897, her prices were: “Primary English, $1.00 per month; Intermediate English, $1.50 per month; Higher English, $2.00 per month; Languages, each, $1.00 per month; Music, including piano rent, $2.50 per month and Board, $4-$5.00 per month; with no deduction for loss of time except in case of sickness of as much as a week’s duration.” In 1899, Nannie Cox married Mr. Walter J. Wyatt and she stopped teaching and got Jesse L. Jackson to take over as principal. He served as principal for only a year. His assistants were Miss Rosa Cox and Miss Annie Wyatt who taught music. In 1899, Mr. A. G. Cox and Dr. Beriah T. Cox bought and donated a four-acre plot of land for a school, in the southeastern part of the town. Work had already started on erecting a school building on the land when in 1900 a stock company was formed for the operation of the school and interest grew to such an extent that it was offered to the Neuse Baptist Association and was accepted for a denominational school. The central building built in 1900 was a two-story building, 54 ft. by 64 ft., with double porches and a large bell tower. It had a large auditorium or chapel, four large recitation rooms and four smaller classrooms for art and music. The Winterville Academy opened in Jan. 1901 with G. E. Lineberry, a native of Chatham County, NC and graduate of Wake Forest College, as principal. F. C. Nye was appointed his assistant. On Feb. 5, 1901 the school was incorporated as “The Winterville High School.” The school was operated by 18 trustees who served under the auspices of the Neuse White Baptist Association. In 1902, a dormitory for girls with 19 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parlor and dining room was erected on the west side of the property. They were described as having stone floors and slate roofs and as being the “model of convenience and comfort.” Later two small boy’s dormitories, one with fifteen rooms and the other with sixteen rooms were built on the east side. In June 1903, it was reported that the school campus had been enclosed with an attractive Pittsburgh wire fence, nice walks had been laid off and the entire grounds had been leveled preparatory to sowing in lawn grass. By 1907, the school grounds had four buildings and had enlarged to over seven acres. According to the rules in the school catalog from 1908…”School opened each morning with religious exercises and all pupils had to attend. School discipline was rigid, cigarette smoking and profanity were forbidden. Also forbidden was unnecessary communication between boys and girls. Forty demerits resulted in suspension and three suspensions were grounds for expulsion. All boarding students furnished their own sheets, pillows, pillowcases and two blankets. Room and board in the dormitories were about $8.00-$9.60 per month, including fuel and electric lights. School lasted three months, tuition, to be paid in advance, was $5.00 for first primary, $7.50 for second primary and $17.50 for high school per month.” In 1909, F. C. Nye succeeded Mr. Lineberry as principal and by the next year, the Roanoke-Baptist Association became co-owner of the school. The school became very popular and students were coming from all over eastern North Carolina. Winterville grew as many families moved to Winterville so their children could attend the school. About this time they had a school annual called the “Cotton Boll.” Prospects were very promising until right after the fall term of 1916 opened. In the early morning of August 16, lightning struck the administration building and the fire which ensued completely, destroyed most of its contents and all the school records since the beginning. School activities resumed the same day in the dining room of the Girls Dormitory and plans were immediately started to rebuild. Due to the economic conditions brought on by World War I, it wasn’t until the Spring of 1919 that a new administration building was begun. In November 1919, before the new brick administration building was completed, another fire destroyed the Girls Dormitory. No more school was taught that year and since the State was becoming more interested in High Schools, it was decided to sell the school to the State the next year. The school reopened in the fall of 1920 as a public high school. In 1935, a new high school building was built and the old building became the elementary school. A new gymnasium became the eighth building on the campus in 1965. When the schools were integrated and consolidated, the Winterville High School ended in 1970 and the students were moved to the new D. H. Conley High School in January 1971. The old Winterville High School became a middle school named the A. G. Cox Middle School. The last vestige of the old Winterville High School, the brick administration building built in 1919, was torn down in 1974 and replaced by a modern addition. The cornerstone and keystone from the brick administration building were saved and are now located in the cafeteria building of the new school. Using older people’s memories and the few school catalogues that still exist we have a record of some of the people associated with the old Winterville High School. Others who followed F. C. Nye as principal and teachers include: B. R. Page, H. F. Brinson, John R. Carroll, J. L. Olive, Paul S. Daniel, George Quillen, Ivan Bennett, C. J. Carpenter. Among the lady teachers were: Misses Annie Lee Staley, Lena Spain, Nannie D. Wood, Laura Cox, V. Elizabeth Boushall, Mollie Bryan, Effie Barker, Kemp Carlson, Rennie Peele, Dora Cox, Ethel Carroll, Nellie Page, Mary Susan Steele, Kate Watson, Lossie Stone, Vivian Roberson, Netta Liles, Clyde Harrison, Nan Lou Waldrop, Musette Daniel, Carmen Rogers, Bessie Johnson, Bessie Sams, Alice Irving Lambert, Ethel Jennie Miller, Kate Jenkins, Ethel Gillett and Lillie Bennett. Among the Dormitory matrons remembered were: Mrs. Eliza Woolard, Miss Neta Dew, Miss Nannie Braxton and Miss Roxie Harris.

Just adding a couple of comments to earlier messages: Although Oak Grove in Pitt was formed in 1834 with Jeremiah Leggett as its first pastor, it was originally Baptist and became affiliated with the Disciples in 1848. Jeremiah Leggett had seven sons, William, Whitmell, Benjamin, Josephus, John A., Blount, Murphy and one daughter, Susan. Jeremiah is my 3 great grandfather. With reference to Brenda's message re Disciples of Christ Historical Society in Tennessee, Brenda had kindly given me this infor in 2002. Upon contacting them, they returned my check and advised that they no longer do research for nonmembers due to staff and financial restraints. They did not indicate what was required to become a member, but did give me the names of independent researchers. I contacted one and gave her all the information I knew about Jeremiah. She subsequently advised that there was no record of Jeremiah in the Society's records, and inquiring if the library could use my data. With reference to Bill's mention of Oak Grove minutes (1834-1876), a copy of these were given to the PCFR library several years ago by Easter Rogerson Mizell, of Williamston.

Barton College has what records exists for eastern NC Disciples Churches and they also have all of the copies of the Watchtower as well as another publication whose name I forget but it was edited by Alfred Moye of Pitt Co. The only time I have been in the Collection at ACC the records were a disaster but they have now gotten them in order or so I understand. One of my projects down the road.

Bill, The Archives and Library for the Disciples of Christ is in Nashville, TN. This facillility is run by the Disciples of Christ Historical Society. I contacted them in 1997 from information on their web page. At that time you could join the Disciples of Christ Historical Society for $20 a year and that entitled you to a few hours of research by a staff member. On their web page they had an index of their biographies available at the facility, and this index included my GGGrandfather who was a Disciples minister and missionary. They sent me a good number of excerpts from publications about my ancestor, and best of all, a copy of a photograph. At that time the facility was open to the public to go there and research. I found it interesting that in the late 1800s "The Watchtower" was a Disciple magazine. It was edited by J.W. Walsh in Newbern during the 1880's and by J. L. Winfield abt. 1895. During my younger years it was a magazine for the Jehover's Witnesses. I looked today online and their web page is no longer available, although I found the link in several places. I did find the information below: Disciples of Christ Historical Society Library and Archives 1101 19th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212 tel. 615-327-1444 Holdings: The archive and library at the Disciples of Christ Historical Society, founded in 1931, collects material pertaining to the Stone-Campbell Movement, which includes the Disciples of Christ, the Churches of Christ, and the Christian Churches.

Bill, Your note below re Oak Grove Church brings an interesting twist for me. Daniel Hill is one of my brick walls, and I think Pollyann Daniel was his daughter. I never have known which Daniel she married . Mr. Daniel apparently died and Pollyann had remarried by the 1850 census to a Langley I believe it was. I had no idea of the religious affiliation of this family so this may be a new avenue to pursue. I had tried to search for Daniel Hill among the Hills in Beaufort County, but maybe I need to look at Martin County since they were so close.

Is this information posted anywhere or is there some way we can find copies? I am interested in the Hills and Taylors.
