Roger, Are you accepting photos for the site again?  I have one of my grandmother Bertha Tollena Manning Baker Jones.  She is about 14 and seated in the Frog Level School.  She was born July 21, 1905 so the photo is c. 1920.  It's a bit map.  Paula Baker Researching Cole, Wilkerson, Norman, and White in Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana and Baker, Tyson, Manning, and Stocks in North Carolina "We are not free, separate, and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way."

I just want to let you all know what a great time PCFR had last night at our Social. We had about 40 people attend, including spouses, friends and invited guests. We can't thank Judy and Charles Lewis enough for hosting us again in their beautiful party house, surrounded by their fascinating antique collections. And of course you know Judy is going to have the place decorated and serve a nice buffet and lots of goodies! And I know a big thanks go out to Debbie Hines Gray and Sue Butler for helping her. After the usual meet and greet, we opened the social by introducing our guests and having them speak a moment about what genealogical/historical projects that they were involved in. Some of the invited guests who attended were: Victor Jones, of New Bern, Director of the Kellenberger Room, Craven-Pamlico-Carteret Regional Library in New Bern and Vice-President of the NC Genealogical Society, Martha Elmore and Dale Sauter from the East Carolina University Manuscript Collection; Stan Little, from the Eastern Office of Archives and History in Greenville; and Candace Pearce, head of or involved in many city/community boards dealing with historical aspects of Greenville. Donna Kemp, of Farmville, long a friend of PCFR, was recognized for her work updating our website. After our roundtable introductions and being hungry, William Cox gave us a prayer and we made for the buffet. When we were having our dessert we were pleasantly entertained when Judy Lewis and Debbie Hines Gray graced us with two songs. The rest of the evening was a room full of laughter and genealogy talk (and sneaks back to the goodie table) Bill Kittrell, the founder of our group, who always brings great treasures to share, brought an old photograph album with many rare early photos of Greenville. PCFR is honored that so many of its local members, who come great distances each meeting, continue to support the group. It's as if we have "made a family of friends" and greatly enjoy each other every month we come together and miss those we don't see often. Hope to see you at our May meeting.      Roger Kammerer Again a reminder, the restored Humber House opening reception at 10:00 AM, May 8th.... _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Mobile2_042009 Pitt County Family Researchers  website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncpcfr/ Message archives address: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=nc-pcfr ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NC-PCFR-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

McLawhorn, the Constable at Ayden, and brought here this morning and put in jail for safe keeping until the sheriff in Craven county can come and take them to Newbern. Nile Manning, who did the shooting, is a desparate character, having served one term in the Newbern jail on 1 or twice in the jail here.

Saturday morning John Parker was sworn in as a special police officer at Falkland. During the day he heard a noise in Nicho's bar and went in to tell the parties inside to make less noise. Alex Little was there quitely getting some bills. Parker said to Little "You are the very man I have been looking for, I understand you said no Falkland policeman could arrest you." To this Little replied "I have made no such remark and had no occasion to make it, for I have done noting to be arrested for. :Come take a drink with me then," said Parker. Little agreed to take the drink with Parker. They went up to the counter and the drinks were poured out, when Parker stepped back and said "Before we take this I think I want to know if yoi take back what you said." Little agins replied, " I have said nothing to take back. What is the matter with you." Quick as a flash Parker drew his pistol and emptied it into Little killing him almost instantly.

HIS MIND UNBALANCED The Sad Fate of A Young Man to Attend Confrence. Durham, Sun. 12th. The Stewart Hotel has a very unpleasant guest, in fact so much that he has to be guarded all the time to keep him from doing himself or others harm. His name is James H. Barnhill, a young man about 26 or 28 years of age, who came here last Friday to attend the Conference, from Bethel, N.C. After his arrival he went immediately to the Stewart Hotel and registered, and has since then become insane. His people were notified, but as yet no word has been received from them. It is indeed a pathetic sight to see a young, intelligent, well-educated man in his condition - away from home and friends, and more especially is it so in this case, when one has become with his life's history and the causes which led to his insanity. He was a poor boy, and had an oldmother and sister who looked to him for their support. He worked hard and educated himself,but studied so hard at school and since that his mind has become impaired. His mother and sister are still depended upon himfor their living. Unless the authorities hear from his people by t0-morrow morning, he will be taken to hishome,in Pitt County, and turned over to the sheriff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 17, 1895.
