Thanks, Roger. This still doesn't ring a bell with either my husband or me. I think families from West Carteret and those from East Carteret didn't see a lot of each other in the old days. Their lives centered around the sea more than the land, and they used different waterways to get to the sea. When my husband's grand-uncle, Joseph Arrington, Minister of the Methodist Church in Beaufort, was dying, his father and mother came down from Hyde County by sailboat to see their son before he died. As they came ashore, they heard him singing "The Old Ship of Zion", but he had expired before they got to his home. A picture of his gravestone is in a book about unusual North Carolina epitaphs. The epitaph mentions that he sang that hymn as he was dying. Joseph died September 20, 1881. I recently found a reference to this event on the internet in an old history of the Ann Street Methodist Church in Beaufort. It said that Joseph's step-grandmother from upstate had reached his bedside in time to see him alive. His step-grandmother was from Nash County. Apparently, travel from Nash County to Carteret County was faster by land than from Hyde County to Carteret County by sea. Heaven knows how long it would have taken to travel from Hyde to Carteret by land in those days. Jo Prytherch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger E.
