Notes for THOMAS HARVEY GIBBS WAHAB:
Harvy Wahab was the first man to hold court on Ocracoke Island as seen in this article published in the Coastland Times on Han.2, 1953
TROUBLES FOLLOW ROAD TO HAPPY OCRACOKE ISLAND
Ocracoke Island was shocked to the roots of its so called Elizabethan foundation when the first trial in approximately 30 years was heard before Justice of the Peace Harvey WAHAB. The news of the scheduled hearing swept over this sandy soil like a prairie fire and the natives from all over the island flocked to the courthouse building to hear the testimony, Mackley BRAGG was charged with assault on the person of Stanley WAHAB. He was found guilty of the charge and received a 30 day road sentence suspended upon the payment of $10 and cost and on the good behavior of the defendant for a period of six months. The trial and the events leading up to it has been called the "news of the year." For a period of 30 years Ocracoke has been known as the one place in North Carolina without any form of law. It received much publicity due to the fact that it did not have a jail, any law enforcement officers, and there are no license plates on the cars and no licenses for driving. The fact that the problems of civilization were slowly encroaching this island of legend became evident in 1950 following the construction of Scott's Highway. The citizens were faced with the problems of speeders along the narrow highway which had been called the road which "started from nowhere and ended at the same place." In order to check the speeders and the Saturday night celebrators, Ausley O'NEAL was appointed Deputy Sheriff. Additional problems appeared when it was discovered that following an arrest the defendant and all witnesses were forced to travel through four counties to get to Swan Quarter, the county seat of Hyde County. This trip, due to the boat and bus schedule, requires a period of four days. As the result, the deputy sheriff didn't have too much business. In order to offer a solution to the problem, Harvey WAHAB, a retired Coast Guardsman, was appointed Justice of the Peace. He received his appointment in the spring and today was his first trial.

OCRACOKE MAN'S BUSY CAREER RECITED
BY NEIGHBORING NEWSPAPERMAN
by Woodrow Price of the News & Observer
If people find Robert Stanley WAHAB (large photo) of the Island of Ocracoke to be an unusual character, it would not be altogether surprising. In his veins runs the blood of pirates and the blood of Arabs, and the mixture could scarcely be expected to produce the commonplace. He was born at Ocracoke on February 3, 1888, the son of Hatton WAHAB of the Life Saving Station, since become the U.S. Coast Guard, and of Martha Howard WAHAB. Hatton WAHAB, according to family tradition, descended from an Arabian sailor who was cast ashore on Ocracoke from a shipwreck in the early 1700's. Martha Ann HOWARD can down the line from the HOWARD who served as quartermaster aboard the ship of Edward TEACH, better known as BLACKBEARD, the pirate. Now 67 and in the autumn of his career, Stanley WAHAB can look back upon a full life, some of which was spent at sea in the manner of his forebears, except that no pirating was involved. He has been an oysterman, a sailor, an accountant, a public school teach, a leader in the business world and the entrepreneur of an air service. He has been, and still is, a real estate man, a promoter and hotel owner. For decades he has been prominent in the political and economic life of the coastal region. He looks out upon the world now from behind exceedingly thick lenses and a big cigar. His voice looms across the waters of Silver Lake from the rail of the Community Store as he tells visitor of Ocracoke's past, and predicts of its future. He stands a bit over six feet and weighs a bit over 200 pounds and, except on those occasions when he is off attending some of his enterprises farther up the Banks, he usually is around the lake front when the "Dolphin" comes in each afternoon with its load of mail and passengers from the mainland. His books, a reader and a geography, came to him from his uncle, Thomas W. HOWARD, who found them along with other books floating in the ocean surf after the wooden ship "Pioneer" went aground and broke up just off Ocracoke in 1889. He used the two shipwrecked books for private lessons from the Rev. W.E. HOCUTT, a Methodist minister, and while attending public school in the village. From 1899 to 1903 he lived at the north end of the Island while his father was assigned to the Cedar Hammock Life Saving Station there, a station which is now more than 100 yards out in the ocean as a result of beach erosion. His island schooling done, Stanley spent the winter of 1903-04 catching fish, clams and oysters. In June 1904 he went to sea aboard the menhaden schooner "Fanny Sprague" which fished the Atlantic coast from Delaware to Massachusetts. The next year found him serving as a seaman on Dredge #3 of the Norfolk Dredging Co., and January 1906 found him back on his beloved island. He married Lucille GRANDY of Norfolk and they had three children, Robert S. WAHAB, JR., now a lawyer at Virginia Beach, Wilson H. WAHAB, now a lawyer at Norfolk, and Lillian E. WAHAB, who is now teaching school in Norfolk. His second wife died in 1924 [nothing about what happened to his first wife nor who the second wife was] and he has since married again, this time to Myra EDWARDS of Belhaven. (The Coastland Times - Friday, June 24, 1955; pg. 1)
Notes for MYRA EDWARDS:
WAHAB, Myra Edwards
OCRACOKE - Myra Edwards WAHAB, 98, died Tuesday, March 26 at her residence. Mrs. Wahab was born in Makleyville, grew up in Belhaven and was a graduate of Flora McDonald College. She was a radiologic technologist and the first laboratory technician and also taught at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. She was the daughter of the late James Nathaniel and Lidie Bradley Wahab Edwards and the widow of the late Robert Stanley Wahab. Mrs. Wahab is survived by a step-daughter, Lillian Wahab of Virginia Beach, Va.; two step-grandchildren: Robert Stanley Wahab, III and William Wahab. A graveside service will be held in the Howard Wahab Cemetery at Ocracoke on Saturday, March 30 at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Joyce Reynolds officiating. Twiford's Island Chapel in Hatteras is handling arrangements. (The Coastland Times - Thursday, March 28, 2002; pg. 12A)
