Each series is arranged chronologically.","Administrative Files, 1962-2016 Speeches and Writings, circa 1960-2012 Correspondence, 1969-2016 Photographs, circa 1909-2015","Ronald E. Carrier (1932-2017) served as the fourth president of James Madison University from 1971 until 1998. He came to Madison College from Memphis State University, where he held several administrative positions including Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost. Prior to Memphis State, Carrier was an associate professor of economics at the University of Mississippi from 1960 to 1963. He was a graduate of East Tennessee State University and the University of Illinois.","During his time at JMU, Carrier oversaw the physical expansion of campus with several large-scale building campaigns including Godwin Hall and expansions and renovations to Carrier Library as well as the growth of east campus with the Convocation Center, University Recreation Center (UREC), and the ISAT academic buildings. In total, the university added or approved $240 million in new facilities. Other significant accomplishments include increased enrollment to 14,000 students, increased operating budget to $200 million, forty new programs were added with five new colleges including the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT), and establishment of a graduate school. Carrier is largely credited with the vision of East Campus. Under Carrier's leadership Madison College changed its name to James Madison University in 1977. In December 1983, Carrier accepted the position of chancellor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville only to rescind his acceptance the following month due to unexpected administrative changes at Arkansas. In the mid-1990s, Carrier initiated the restructuring of several academic departments and colleges as well as called for the elimination of physics as a major. This was a largely unpopular decision with many faculty and students that ultimately did not materialize. Carrier Library was named in honor of Ronald and Edith Carrier in 1984. Carrier served as Chancellor of JMU from 1998 until 2002 at which point he was awarded President Emeritus status.","In December 2022, all previously processed Carrier accessions were combined with unprocessed accessions to form one collection under UA 0053. At this time, the description, arrangement, and collection inventory were updated.","Contents of folders were combined when appropriate. Printouts of webpages including Wikipedia were discarded. Folder titles are both creator and archivist-supplied. The original 1996 letter and statement from Mills Godwin regarding Carrier's 25th anniversary was photocopied and discarded due to deteriorating condition. Framed items including awards were removed from frames which were discarded. Items that exhibited excessive water damage were also discarded. ","A small accession of photographs was transferred in 2009 and during its initial processing in 2011 photographs were given an identifier with the prefix P0003. This identifier refers to a short-lived practice of numbering and organizing photographs into discrete collections irrespective of provenance. The legacy P0003 identifiers were left intact on the backs of the photographs, but the arrangement of the photographs was updated to reflect more accurate and descriptive groupings.","James Madison University, Office of the President. Records, 1951-2001. Accession 44225. State Records Collection, The Library of Virginia.","The Ronald E. Carrier Papers comprise the administrative records of James Madison University's fourth president. Records include annual reports and master plans, departmental goals and objectives, Carrier's resumes and biographical statements, honors and awards, philanthropic initiatives, speeches, photographs, and scrapbooks. While much of the collection documents Carrier's tenure as JMU president, a limited amount of materials relate to his work at Memphis State University. Of particular interest is Carrier's appointment and inauguration which is documented through congratulatory correspondence, printed ephemera, and photographs. Various building campaigns are documented to varying degrees and include Godwin Hall, Miller Hall, Carrier Library, and Sonner Hall.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

Each series is arranged chronologically.","Administrative Files, 1962-2016 Speeches and Writings, circa 1960-2012 Correspondence, 1969-2016 Photographs, circa 1909-2015","Ronald E. Carrier (1932-2017) served as the fourth president of James Madison University from 1971 until 1998. He came to Madison College from Memphis State University, where he held several administrative positions including Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost. Prior to Memphis State, Carrier was an associate professor of economics at the University of Mississippi from 1960 to 1963. He was a graduate of East Tennessee State University and the University of Illinois.","During his time at JMU, Carrier oversaw the physical expansion of campus with several large-scale building campaigns including Godwin Hall and expansions and renovations to Carrier Library as well as the growth of east campus with the Convocation Center, University Recreation Center (UREC), and the ISAT academic buildings. In total, the university added or approved $240 million in new facilities. Other significant accomplishments include increased enrollment to 14,000 students, increased operating budget to $200 million, forty new programs were added with five new colleges including the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT), and establishment of a graduate school. Carrier is largely credited with the vision of East Campus. Under Carrier's leadership Madison College changed its name to James Madison University in 1977. In December 1983, Carrier accepted the position of chancellor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville only to rescind his acceptance the following month due to unexpected administrative changes at Arkansas. In the mid-1990s, Carrier initiated the restructuring of several academic departments and colleges as well as called for the elimination of physics as a major. This was a largely unpopular decision with many faculty and students that ultimately did not materialize. Carrier Library was named in honor of Ronald and Edith Carrier in 1984. Carrier served as Chancellor of JMU from 1998 until 2002 at which point he was awarded President Emeritus status.","In December 2022, all previously processed Carrier accessions were combined with unprocessed accessions to form one collection under UA 0053. At this time, the description, arrangement, and collection inventory were updated.","Contents of folders were combined when appropriate. Printouts of webpages including Wikipedia were discarded. Folder titles are both creator and archivist-supplied. The original 1996 letter and statement from Mills Godwin regarding Carrier's 25th anniversary was photocopied and discarded due to deteriorating condition. Framed items including awards were removed from frames which were discarded. Items that exhibited excessive water damage were also discarded. ","A small accession of photographs was transferred in 2009 and during its initial processing in 2011 photographs were given an identifier with the prefix P0003. This identifier refers to a short-lived practice of numbering and organizing photographs into discrete collections irrespective of provenance. The legacy P0003 identifiers were left intact on the backs of the photographs, but the arrangement of the photographs was updated to reflect more accurate and descriptive groupings.","James Madison University, Office of the President. Records, 1951-2001. Accession 44225. State Records Collection, The Library of Virginia.","The Ronald E. Carrier Papers comprise the administrative records of James Madison University's fourth president. Records include annual reports and master plans, departmental goals and objectives, Carrier's resumes and biographical statements, honors and awards, philanthropic initiatives, speeches, photographs, and scrapbooks. While much of the collection documents Carrier's tenure as JMU president, a limited amount of materials relate to his work at Memphis State University. Of particular interest is Carrier's appointment and inauguration which is documented through congratulatory correspondence, printed ephemera, and photographs. Various building campaigns are documented to varying degrees and include Godwin Hall, Miller Hall, Carrier Library, and Sonner Hall.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.

The W and L in the name are for the Wampler and Longacre families; the R is for Rockingham County Poultry Cooperative. WLR Foods first incorporated in 1986 and created a holistic and self-sufficient poultry company that was capable of controlling all aspects of poultry production, from the egg to the local market. WLR Foods combined hatcheries and farms, feed storage and mills, processing and dressing plants, and distribution under one corporate umbrella. This proved to be a winning combination for the Virginia based company; at the height of its success in 1996, WLR Foods sales reached almost one billion dollars and employed over eight thousand workers. The success achieved by WLR Foods was predicated on three distinct companies that merged in 1986: Wampler Foods, Longacre Farms, and Rockingham Poultry Cooperative.","Wampler Foods began in 1927 with the founding of Wampler Feed and Seed Company. Wampler Feed was the first turkey feed company to contract directly with farms to grow poultry. Under the direction of founder, Charles W. Wampler Sr., Wampler Feed and Seed flourished during the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Wampler Feed revolutionized the poultry industry by pioneering the use of incubators to hatch turkeys and early adoption of cooped turkey growing. Upon the retirement of Charles Wampler Sr., his son, Charles Wampler Jr., took over as manager of Wampler Feed and Seed. In 1969, Wampler Jr. working with Herman Mason joined Wampler Feed with Virginia Valley Processing to create Wampler Foods. The merger brought poultry operations in hatcheries, feeding, growers, and limited processing together into one corporation. Further expansion of processing and increased distribution capabilities fueled the search for subsequent merger opportunities. ","During World War II, the American labor force began to diminish. This shortage had a great effect on the agricultural community as farmers and farm workers left to join the war. By 1943, the labor shortage forced Congress to allow draft deferments for farmers and hired men. Horace W. Longacre, a passive Mennonite, sought to serve but not to fight. He considered farm draft deferment a peaceable alternative. In order to qualify for the deferment, Longacre bought 84 acres of farmland in Quakertown, Pennsylvania in 1944 and began selling eggs and vegetables. He soon moved exclusively into poultry operations, processing, and dressing chickens. By 1948, Longacre expanded his business into Virginia and was working with Herman Mason as a feed supplier. Eventually, he moved away from poultry feed and focused entirely on processing. At the peak of his success, Longacre employed over 700 people and continued to further capabilities in dressing and distribution. It was under these circumstances that Longacre's business became an attractive merger option for Wampler who was seeking to expand in processing. By 1984, the merger was complete and Wampler-Longacre was formed.","The Wampler-Longacre merger set the stage for a new acquisition; in 1986, Wampler-Longacre acquired Rockingham Poultry Cooperative which expanded Wampler-Longacre into chicken production and also set the stage for the formation of WLR Foods Incorporated.","In 1988, WLR Foods hired fortuitously James Keeler as CEO and retained Charles Wampler Jr. as Chairman of the Board. During a hostile takeover attempt by Tyson Foods in 1994, Keeler proved to be a valuable leader in stopping Tyson. The company also went public that year with stock selling on NASDAQ. By the early 1990's, WLR was packaging poultry into 250 different product lines from hotdogs to burgers. Throughout the 1990's, WLR Foods continued to expand. In 1990, Golden Acre Foods was acquired along with Cassco Corporation, an ice and cold storage operation. In 1992, Round Hill Foods and the Southern Ice Company were purchased. In 1993, WLR acquired Commonwealth Ice Company and the Beverley Company.","In 1994, Fortune Magazine had listed the company prestigiously in the top 500 companies in the nation. That same year, WLR Foods recorded sales over 700 million and attracted the attention of Tyson Foods Incorporated which attempted a hostile takeover by offering shareholders $30.00 per share which was well above the fair market value at the time. James Keeler, a former lawyer, aggressively fought Tyson Foods by rallying shareholders and using loopholes in Virginia law to prevent a payout from Tyson.","Following the takeover attempt, WLR Foods continued to be a successful leader in the poultry industry and acquired Cuddy Farms Incorporated which strengthened its turkey production and processing operations. However, by 2000 WLR Foods was on the decline with stock shares dropping to $4.59. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation bought and absorbed WLR Foods thus ending the corporation's fourteen-year dominance of the industry.","The digital collection was originally divided into seven compact discs titled:","Wampler Foods Historical Records (Scans created between May through November 2005)","Wampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 1 (Scans created between October 25 through November 06 2007)","Wampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 2 (Scans created between June 07 through November 13 2007)","Wampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 3 (Scans created between June 15 through July 17 2007)","Wampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 4 (Scans created between June 16 through September 14 2007)","Wampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 5 (Scans created between September 14 through October 19 2007)","Wampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 6 (Scans created between October 19 through October 24 2007)","The creator or commissioner of the scans is unknown.

The success achieved by WLR Foods was predicated on three distinct companies that merged in 1986: Wampler Foods, Longacre Farms, and Rockingham Poultry Cooperative.","Wampler Foods began in 1927 with the founding of Wampler Feed and Seed Company. Wampler Feed was the first turkey feed company to contract directly with farms to grow poultry. Under the direction of founder, Charles W. Wampler Sr., Wampler Feed and Seed flourished during the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Wampler Feed revolutionized the poultry industry by pioneering the use of incubators to hatch turkeys and early adoption of cooped turkey growing. Upon the retirement of Charles Wampler Sr., his son, Charles Wampler Jr., took over as manager of Wampler Feed and Seed. In 1969, Wampler Jr. working with Herman Mason joined Wampler Feed with Virginia Valley Processing to create Wampler Foods. The merger brought poultry operations in hatcheries, feeding, growers, and limited processing together into one corporation. Further expansion of processing and increased distribution capabilities fueled the search for subsequent merger opportunities. ","During World War II, the American labor force began to diminish. This shortage had a great effect on the agricultural community as farmers and farm workers left to join the war. By 1943, the labor shortage forced Congress to allow draft deferments for farmers and hired men. Horace W. Longacre, a passive Mennonite, sought to serve but not to fight. He considered farm draft deferment a peaceable alternative. In order to qualify for the deferment, Longacre bought 84 acres of farmland in Quakertown, Pennsylvania in 1944 and began selling eggs and vegetables. He soon moved exclusively into poultry operations, processing, and dressing chickens. By 1948, Longacre expanded his business into Virginia and was working with Herman Mason as a feed supplier. Eventually, he moved away from poultry feed and focused entirely on processing. At the peak of his success, Longacre employed over 700 people and continued to further capabilities in dressing and distribution. It was under these circumstances that Longacre's business became an attractive merger option for Wampler who was seeking to expand in processing. By 1984, the merger was complete and Wampler-Longacre was formed.","The Wampler-Longacre merger set the stage for a new acquisition; in 1986, Wampler-Longacre acquired Rockingham Poultry Cooperative which expanded Wampler-Longacre into chicken production and also set the stage for the formation of WLR Foods Incorporated.","In 1988, WLR Foods hired fortuitously James Keeler as CEO and retained Charles Wampler Jr. as Chairman of the Board. During a hostile takeover attempt by Tyson Foods in 1994, Keeler proved to be a valuable leader in stopping Tyson. The company also went public that year with stock selling on NASDAQ. By the early 1990's, WLR was packaging poultry into 250 different product lines from hotdogs to burgers. Throughout the 1990's, WLR Foods continued to expand. In 1990, Golden Acre Foods was acquired along with Cassco Corporation, an ice and cold storage operation. In 1992, Round Hill Foods and the Southern Ice Company were purchased. In 1993, WLR acquired Commonwealth Ice Company and the Beverley Company.","In 1994, Fortune Magazine had listed the company prestigiously in the top 500 companies in the nation. That same year, WLR Foods recorded sales over 700 million and attracted the attention of Tyson Foods Incorporated which attempted a hostile takeover by offering shareholders $30.00 per share which was well above the fair market value at the time. James Keeler, a former lawyer, aggressively fought Tyson Foods by rallying shareholders and using loopholes in Virginia law to prevent a payout from Tyson.","Following the takeover attempt, WLR Foods continued to be a successful leader in the poultry industry and acquired Cuddy Farms Incorporated which strengthened its turkey production and processing operations. However, by 2000 WLR Foods was on the decline with stock shares dropping to $4.59. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation bought and absorbed WLR Foods thus ending the corporation's fourteen-year dominance of the industry."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe digital collection was originally divided into seven compact discs titled:\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler Foods Historical Records (Scans created between May through November 2005)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 1 (Scans created between October 25 through November 06 2007)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 2 (Scans created between June 07 through November 13 2007)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 3 (Scans created between June 15 through July 17 2007)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 4 (Scans created between June 16 through September 14 2007)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 5 (Scans created between September 14 through October 19 2007)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eWampler-Longacre Scans, Disc 6 (Scans created between October 19 through October 24 2007)\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe creator or commissioner of the scans is unknown.

The first land for the cemetery was purchased seven months later, on October 11, 1850, from Harrisonburg's first mayor, Isaac Hardesty, who sold 2½ acres to the cemetery company. It has continued to expand in size over the years, and the current grounds cover about 18 acres. Woodbine Cemetery contains roughly 11,550 burial plots with approximately 9,000 interred.","Soon after the Civil War, the cemetery created an area dedicated to Confederate soldiers and veterans. This section was originally maintained by the Ladies Memorial Association, founded in 1868 with the charge of caring for the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in Rockingham County. The Ladies Memorial Association erected a soldiers monument in 1876, and in 1899 with the aid of the Turner Ashby Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, replaced all wooden head boards with white marble stones. The section was expanded in 1886, when Samuel Shacklett donated a 5 acre-plot, containing land likely already in use as a Confederate cemetery. There are now over 200 Confederate soldier or veterans buried there, representing states of Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee. The cemetery also contains area known as \"Little Arlington,\" dedicated to those who served in World War I and World War II. ","The Community Mausoleum was erected in 1926, though there are no records of incorporation until 1936, when it was incorporated as the \"Communal Mausoleum Crypt Owners, Inc.\" In February 2006, the mausoleum merged with Woodbine Cemetery Company.","According to a Woodbine Board of Trustees report dated April 2, 1853, the original cemetery contained plots designated for African Americans, stating, \"…in the rear plats have already been appropriated to single interments, and likewise for the use of colored persons.\" According to Nelson J. Liskey's, \"History of Woodbine Cemetery,\" in 1969, the board adopted a policy that \"no restrictions as to race would be applicable to lot purchasers.\" Certificates of Ownership of Communal Mausoleum Crypts at Woodbine Cemetery state that \"the crypts are for the entombment of the human dead of the Caucasian race only.\"","Superintendents of Woodbine Cemetery include, but are not limited to, the following individuals: John Foster (1851), J.P.
