CURRENT NEWS

President's Message
Summer 2007

Our membership growth has slowed down somewhat so I would like to encourage all of you to recruit new members to our society. I still believe it is possible to reach our goal of 300 members by the end of summer.

We have had some excellent programs presented this year. I should like to encourage our members to attend these programs. We try to disseminate information about upcoming programs through the media and published the speakers and dates in Pea River Trails. As you know we do not have a program meeting during the summer and will resume our programs in September. Your board of directors will be meeting this summer to secure speakers for forthcoming programs.

I do wish to make an urgent appeal to those members who are retired to serve as volunteers to help keep open our three facilities: Welcome Center, Library-Gift Shop, and Depot Museum. If you could work two hours per week, we really need your assistance, especially at the Library=Gift Shop on Main Street. If you can serve as a volunteer please call me at 347-7831 or Gloria Evans at 347-5373.

Congratulations to Larry Herbst and Louie Reynolds who received the Judah B. Benjamin Award presented to them by the Daughters of the Confederacy.

We should like to give a great big thank you to retiring Secretary Lavinia Helms. She has been a faithful member of the board for a number of years. Donna Clark will serve in that position this coming year. Jim Gilmer will serve as Thrid Vice President and we welcome Dr. Scott Smith as a new member of the Board of Directors. Other officers and board members were re-elected to new terms for the 2007-08 year.

If you have suggestions for improving the operations of our society, please contact me.

Thank you for your support.

Dr. Jack P. Oden, President

Our appreciation to the following businesses for supporting us annually:

We have a great need for volunteers right now. If you find yourself sitting for a couple of hours per week wondering what to do with that time, we have a spot for you in our society. Please step forward and volunteer for two hours per week to help us out. Tell a friend who might enjoy volunteering.
Please contact Dr. Jack Oden.

CAN ANYONE HELP FIND MR. THOMPSON'S FAMILY?

Mr. Leroy Thompson (could have been Lee Roy Thompson at birth) is a ninety one year old gentlemen who lives in a health care facility in California. He is not sure where in Covington County that he is from, but recalls the community names of Andalusia, Red Level, River Falls and Loango. Mr. Thompson thinks his father's name might have been Charlie Thompson, and his mother's name might have been Mary Black Thompson. He thinks his sisters' names were Cora (age 5) and Lucille (age 7)...there may be a third sister also. Mr. Thompson was separated from his family at age three when his family took him to a storm cellar and returned to the home to collect household items. The tornado struck and killed his entire family while they were outside of the storm cellar. Mr. Thompson believes his birthdate to be October 18 in either 1915 or 1917. So this would place the tornado striking in either 1918 or 1920. Mr. Thompson was sent to live with a school principal by the name of A.E. or E.A. Ward. At age five, he was sent to a boys industrial school.

For futher communication, please contact Barb Andrews at [email protected] or Ann Thompson at [email protected] Lets try to find this gentleman's family...time is of the essence.

06/08/2007 The Summer issue of the Pea River Trails arrived today!! Hope everyone enjoys!

We have only a little over half of last years number of members who have renewed our memberships. We picked up a couple of new members.
New members may submit $20 for annual fee; or submit new membership online for $21. All issues for the year that have been published will be shipped to new members at our next mailing date of the Pea River Trails. If you wish to receive your back-issues any sooner please submit an extra $2.00 for early shipping.

Those members who are not current may renew at the new $20 annual fee with a $2 late fee. You will also receive your back-issues at next mailing of PRT. You may view your expiration date on your address label of the last PRT issue that you received.

If you are current and do not receive your latest copy of the Summer 2007 PRT, please email me at [email protected] to advise me of this matter.

I know many will be out cleaning in the cemeteries. So I would like to advise you to be watchful for spiders and snakes. Also, always inform someone that you are headed out to the cemeteries, and try to keep a cell phone with you.

Happy Independence Day, everyone! Our gratitude to the Lord for continuing to keep America as safe as we are. *hugs*

HISTORY of the PEA RIVER HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Excerpt from the Official Publication of the Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society, Pea River Trails, Volume 24, Fall 1999, Number 3:

The Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society was begun in 1970 to collect, record, and preserve the history and genealogy of those who came to these piney woods to settle and make their home. Enterprise was incorporated on April 27, 1896.

Perhaps, Enterprise's most notable claim to fame is the only monument in the world dedicated to a pest--the BOLL WEEVIL. It was erected on December 11, 1919 in the center ofdowntown Enterprise. The Mexican boll weevil wrought destruction to "King Cotton", the principal "money crop" of the area and farmers began to diversify their crops and introduced the peanut which became their main crop.

The Pea River Historical Society shortly after their organization, acquired the old Atlantic Coast Line Depot in downtown Enterprise in which they operated their Society and began collecting items of interest to house in the museum.

The Depot is located immediately behind the historic Rawls Hotel, although the entrance next to the railroad was originally the front entrance. The passengers coming in on the train only had a short walk into the Hotel lobby.

One of the Society's members, an avid historian and genealogist, Miss Alla James, donated a plot of land on US Highway 84 Bypass to the Society.

The Society built a log structure on the site as a rest stop and information center for transients who travel through Enterprise, and the new-comers moving into Enterprise to make their homes. Souvenirs, books, maps and brochures of interest about places and things in Alabama are available. Thousands pass through the Welcome Center each year.

One of the volunteers maintains and beautifies the landscape around the Welcome Center. A rose garden graces the front of the site, which is dedicated in honor of Dr. James F. Stanley, Sr., one of the organizers of the Pea River Society, now deceased. His wife, Maizie Stanley is still a faithful volunteer at our Welcome Center.

Home Builders of Enterprise devoted a great deal of time and effort in constructing the Welcome Center of the Society and the City of Enterprise assisted with the paved parking lot.

The Welcome Center is located on an access road that is adjacent to the ByPass. (Note: Near Arby's and Winn Dixie.)

After the celebration of the Enterprise Centennial, the Society was given a replica of an old one-room schoolhouse which was placed on the Welcome Center lot.

The Boy Scouts have built a replica of an old outdoor toilet (outhouse) at the Welcome Center and a replica of an old fashioned open well which were quite common a few years ago.

Groups are taken through the facilities when requested. This facility, like the other facilities of the Pea River Society, are staffed by unpaid volunteers. The Society has no paid employees, and is supported by donations, membership dues and from profit from sales of books and novelties sold in the Gift Shop and Welcome Center.

The Little Red Schoolhouse is very popular with the children and young people who have never experienced saying their lessons before several classes.

A few years ago, the Pea River Society was fortunate enough to be able to buy a building on South Main Street in which is located their Gift Shop, Office and Library. This building is their center of activity.

The Library has microfilm, microfiche and readers for them. It also contains many historical books, family sketches, photographs and other memorabilia about days gone by. Many individuals spend hours looking through the materials, and learning about their ancestors who once lived in the area. A photocopier is available for making copies of material for the researcher at the cost of twenty-five cents per page. This is a nice price for most Societies today charge more.

The Gift Shop contains many sovenirs including pins, caps, shirts, historical and genealogical books by local authors which are available for sale.

NEW MEMBERS WELCOME

Join us in preserving our history and heritage. The Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving history and heritage of Coffee County and its people.

We invite you to visit our library research room at 108 South Main Street, Enterprise, Alabama.

You may do your own research at any time during regular library hours which are 10 am until 4 pm Monday through Friday. Currently, Mr. Charles Stripling is being so kind as to open on Saturday mornings when he is able. If interested please phone the PRHGS Library/Gift Shoppe on Thursday mornings to inquire of Mr. Stripling if he has plans to open the following Saturday or not. These Saturday openings are unscheduled.

As all of our workers are volunteers, some may be able to assist you in your research while others will not be able to do so.

Please obey the rule of only entering the research area of the PRHGS Library with a pen and writing pad. Laptops are allowed, but laptop bag will not be allowed. Due to theft, no one will be allowed near the research documentation and materials with purses, satchels, bookbags, backpacks, laptop bags, or anything other than a pen, notepad and/or bagless laptop.

Please remove only one book from shelves at a time. Replace book before removing another book or document. This will help volunteer to keep eye on the materials for your use and help secure the security of materials for all.

We appreciate every donation of genealogical and historical information regarding our area and its people. We also welcome financial contribution at any time.

Membership dues are $20 single, $35 contributing and $100 business. However, for convenience and expediting of membership, the online sale of dues are $21.00 per year for an individual or $25.50 for an entire family. The difference in cost is due to the service charge by PayPal for handling the expedited transaction. The expiration date of membership is same for all members...December 31st.

Annual renewal is due on January 1st. Please add two dollars for late renewal when renewal membership fee is mailed after January 1st of the year.

We request that you encourage your friends and relatives to become a member of our Society, and to share their treasured memories and valuable family records with others for preservation and future reference by descendants and researchers.

With your membership, you will receive the quarterly publication of Pea River Trails.

MICROFILM PROJECT
The Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society is accepting sponsorship of microfilm at twenty one dollars per film. When film is sponsored, sponsorer can have their name, and the name of a loved one, printed onto the microfilm container. A discount on any future index books garnered from these microfilms is also being extended; discount is to match amount sponsored. These microfilms (approximately 200) were created by the Alabama Department of Archives, and are films of documents (deaths, marriages, voting registration, inventories, etc.) pertaining to Coffee County which are/were located in the Coffee County Courthouses. As anyone who has researched in our Elba Courthouse knows, the floods have taken their toll on many records....as has time. The presense of these microfilms in our Society Library is a treasure for all researchers of Coffee County's present and future use. Please be sure to include "FOR MICROFILM PROJECT ONLY" on your check and envelope...and include the name that you wish listed on film container. Example: FOR MICROFILM PROJECT ONLY Donated by Jack Doe & In Memory of John Doe; or FOR MICROFILM PROJECT ONLY Donated by Jack Doe & In Honor of John Doe.

CEMETERY CENSUS

Through the Historical Sites Committee, the Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society is undertaking as thorough a census of the cemeteries in Coffee County as we can. This includes identifying every cemetery that now exists or has ever existed in the county. It also includes listing the names and dates of every known burial in the county, insofar as possible. If you know of any old cemetery that you think everybody else has forgotten, please let us know and help us to note its pecise location.

Mr. David Locke has located an abandoned cemetery and we all wish to find further information on this cemetery. Also, if you have time to step up and volunteer to work on this cemetery and maintain it with a group, please email me at [email protected].

Info concerning this cemetery: Right outside of Enterprise on Highway 84 headed towards New Brockton, turn left at United Parcel Service, follow out by Moates, Old Powell Road is now paved, go down hill; at bridge there is a little turn off to the left, follow that, bearing to the right, about 200 feet follow to left by large stand of trees on left, large field on right, go about 200-300 feet and look for a path on left, go into stand of trees, go about 100 yards, walk to seek grave markers in the tree line. There are ten to twelve markers with two dated 1864-1865. This cemetery is definitely abandoned and needs help. You can drive most of way. For more information, call Mr. Locke at 347-3059.

Excerpts from Boiled Peanuts and Buckeyes:
"Born in Esto, Florida, in 1932, Eudon lives in six different cities by the time he is fifteen years old. But his childhood in Enterprise, Alabama, is as sweet as watermelon savored on a hot July afternoon. It does not matter that he, T.E., and Mom live on the "wrong" side of the tracks, separated literally from the wealthy white families by the railroad tracks upon which the train carries the town's cotton and peanut products across the country. T.E., the young genius, is a budding economist, and Eudon is a future football star. They share the same side of the tracks as the poor black families, and it makes no difference that they live in a two-room wooden structure owned by the Bama Cotton Mill. They have their radio, their country & western songs, their comic books, Martin's Drug Store, Mom's homemade biscuits, the Ritz ("Picture Show") Theater, and their hand-made toys. Dominating everything is the scent of fresh peanut butter mingling with the smell of cotton that constantly floats in the air."

"Among my most vivid childhood memories is the pervasive smell and delectable taste of the boiled peanuts that were so much a part of Southern life . . . . How many pleasurable hours I spent indulging in these delicacies, savoring their salty flesh, I can only surmise . . . . I spent an equal amount of time strolling through the streets of Enterprise, Alabama, peddling bagfuls of the tasty morsels from a shoe box as I chanted my catchy little sales jingle: �fresh boiled peanuts, five cents a bag; fresh and fine, right off the vine. If you don�t have a nickel, I can change a dime!� . . . . I desired nothing more � until my senses were awakened by football, that is . . . . in Enterprise, Alabama . . . ."

"In 1995, my Aunt Myrtelee (Armstrong) Peeples, my mom�s youngest sister, who lived in Montgomery, Alabama, paid a visit to our new beachfront home in Seagrove Beach, Florida, near Panama City. She and I drove to Geneva County, Alabama, to meet with two of her and Mom�s brothers, Hilburn and Ralph Armstrong. On the way, we visited the gravesite of Ada Myrle (Whitaker) Armstrong, her and Mom�s mother, at the Whitaker Methodist Church and Cemetery. Aunt Myrtelee repeated the story of how she, Mom, Ralph, Myrle, Hilburn and Wilburn were divided up at their mother�s gravesite at the time of her funeral in March of 1922. This agonizing story had been told to me by my mom and other family members ever since I was a youngster."

"I had left Enterprise, Alabama, in the middle of the sixth grade. Life�s twists and turns took me to Knoxville and Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Miamisburg, Ohio; and finally to Detroit, Michigan, with no thought of whether I would ever return to this special place of my roots that my kinfolk, the Armstrongs, Hollands, and Whitakers, had called home for several generations."

"Standing in the midst of all this history, on the land and in the building that had been donated and financed by my great-great-grandfather, James Denard Whitaker, and surrounded by the graves of my ancestors, still humbled and warmed by the church service, I was nearly overcome with emotion . . . . Yet I knew that, like friends parting, I would never truly leave."
