I can't believe you own all these books!! I was going to order copies of the 2 that do have the information you found for me (from the Bladen Co Historical Society). Before I do, do you think you could look in the cemetary books one more time and see if you see any other Longs listed (for the 1800s)? The other name I have tried to find burial grounds for is Penelopy Long, who married John Meares (1831-1902). There is a lot of genealogical history on the Meares--he served in the CSA. I am thinking maybe Penelopy's father (Sion Long) could be buried with her. If you get a chance--I'm still planning to come up!! Thanks! Chris

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Blake Tyner Phone: 910-827-5504 [email protected] Art and History Meet in Exhibit Lumberton, NC July 11, 2005 ? Robeson County Artist Janette Hopper and Historian Blake Tyner have joined forces to create a unique exhibit entitled Secrets of the Swamps that is the summer exhibition at Wilmington?s Bellamy House. The exhibit opening reception will be Sunday, July 17, 2005 from 6pm until 7:30pm at the Bellamy House, 503 Market Street, Wilmington, NC. Janette K. Hopper is presently the Art Department Chair at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. She is known for her drawings, prints, sumi ink, watercolor and oil paintings and performances. The works reflect her love of nature and of humankind. Hopper?s painting of the Robeson County swamps and waterways set the mood of the exhibit which focuses on the hidden beauty. Hopper says of the swamps: The swamps of Robeson County are fascinating because the Cyprus trees grow right out of the water forming wonderful verticals and emotional forms of arms reaching for the heavens. The light of the dramatic skies reflected in the waters and the heavy atmosphere make for a feeling so strong that one cannot help but be compelled to try to capture on canvas the varying moods one absorbs from the landscape and/or reflects onto the landscape. The artist is inspired to create a variety of mood coming from the mystical feeling when foggy to the dramatic color at dawn and dusk to the rapidly developing storms that hit with a thunder and lightening that sends the artist scurrying for cover. In North Carolina, I have found an instant heartfelt affinity with the sky, water, and luxuriant growth of Robeson County. Blake Tyner comes by his love of history naturally. A descendant of some of the earliest colonial settlers of North Carolina, he grew up with a love of history that has propelled him to delve into the records and archives of North Carolina from an early age. He is currently a history major at UNCP, where his undergraduate historical research has led to the publication of two books Images of America: Robeson County and Robeson County in Vintage Postcards. He pursues his avocation as curator of the Robeson County History Museum. Tyner has complied available research on Floral College, the first college in North Carolina to confer degrees to women. The college charter on January 11, 1841 continued until 1872 was an educational haven not only for the young ladies of Robeson County but attracted a large amount of girls from lower North Carolina and upper South Carolina. The exhibit documents over 250 graduates of the school and includes letters from several of the girls written while a student at the college. Letters included in the exhibit are from sisters Julia and Martha Turner of Averysboro, Catherine McNeill, and Elizabeth Ann Hamer of Little Rock, South Carolina. The exhibit also highlights the time that the Bellamy family spent at the college during the Civil War. Ellen Douglas Bellamy, the daughter of the Bellamys wrote in 1937 a booklet entitled ?Back With the Tide? which gave a wonderful insight into their life in Robeson County during the Civil War. Do not miss this opportunity to experience the Robeson County and the secrets of her swamps.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HSB.2ACE/1618 Message Board Post: WILL DIE IN THE GAS CHAMBER IN SMITHFIELD, NC Hello. My name is "Lost Soul" and I'm a stray mutt mix who was found by an animal control officer when I was trying to find food in somebody's garbage can. I'm starving, skinny and scared. I'm 3 years old, and my whole life was spent chained to a tree. My owner moved and just let me run free. I'm not that beautiful. I'm a black lab mix like most of the other "prisoners" at the shelter. Most people will pass me by because of my emaciated body and skin problems. I know it's time for me to go to heaven and I accept this. I just wish I could die a peaceful death with a shot. But no, I will die in the GAS CHAMBER in Johnston County, NC. I will be put in a box with many other dogs and locked in. I will be scared and start to cry. I hope none of the other dogs get mad and start to attack me which is very common in this situation. I will start to breathe in the gas and I will feel my eyes and mouth burn and I will start howling. I will take my little nose and put it to the bottom of the grate to try to catch some fresh air. This isn't working, Oh God, Please Help, I can't breathe! I'm vomiting, dizzy and starting to black out and convulse. I hear the other "lost souls" scream and some blood is splattered on me because I'm pawing to get out.. and I cut the pads on my paws off. Oh My God this hurts and I'm so scared! I'm wondering why I have to die this way?? All I ever wanted was a family to love and warm lap to sit on!! Why do convicted murderers on death row get a shot, but I have to die in a GAS CHAMBER? I wish I could die with a shot, with a vet holding me and rubbing my ear telling me everything will be okay. I would die with some dignity and not defecate or urinate on myself. I better give in to the gas and go to heaven now, for if I don't die, they will put me in the gas chamber and do it again. I can't wait to get to heaven and have all the angels rub my belly and give me kisses. In the meantime, please call Rick Hester the County Manager in Johnston County at 919- 989-5100 and beg him not to let any other innocent strays die this way. [email protected](email addresses below,please email all 4)is his Email address if you want to write him You can also call or email the county commissioners if you want. If you don't want to call them, please call the news or newspapers and tell them that you don't want your tax money used for the GAS CHAMBER. Thank you for hearing my story and the next time you see a stray in Johnston County, please say a prayer for them, for if they don't get adopted, they will die in the GAS CHAMBER like me. Please rescue a dog or cat before they are gassed.
