His parents were immigrants from Europe: his mother, Catherine, came from England and his father, Garret Moore, came from Ireland. Although much of John Moore's extended family lived in Ireland, he grew up in Louisiana on a plantation run by enslaved people. John's first job was teaching. He then became an army surgeon. In 1853, his first post was at Fort Myers, Florida, during the Third Seminole War. Later, John was employed in the United States Army expedition against the Mormons and in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He had three other siblings named Mary, Robert, and Richard (who died in 1908). His two children were named children John and Juliet.","John Moore (II) is the elder John Moore's son. He was born on April 12, 1866 in Eutaw, Alabama and was 5'11. From December 5, 1890 to October 3, 1902, he worked in the treasury department of the Internal Revenue Service. There, he started out as a substitute clerk, class D, but was promoted on May 7, 1895. In 1904, he worked for Central Union Telephone Co. In 1895, he married Elizabeth and they had two children: Robert and Mary. He separated from his wife and lived with Mary Kelly, his aunt, in Indiana because of his alcoholism.","Elizabeth \"Lizzie\" Moore was John Moore's (I) wife; her maiden name was Ford. Born in 1873, she was 5'7, 136 pounds, and had pale brown hair. Mary was twenty-two when first courted by her husband. She had many brothers, including one named Will.","Mary Mead Moore was John and Lizzie Moore's daughter. She was born on September 29, 1906,and graduated from Randolph Macon Women's College in 1929. She kept in contact with Betty, a college friend who lived in Charleston, for the rest of her life. Mary worked in Roanoke as a schoolteacher and was deeply religious and interested in radios.","Robert Garrett Moore was Mary's elder brother. He was born in 1897 and was a clumsy child. As a young man, he was estranged from his father and wanted to become an engineer. In June of 1925, he died at the age of 28: during a reserve officers training camp, he drowned from either cramps or a heart spasm. On the day of his death, he had complained about heart pain and vertigo to his drill sergeant. He is buried in Timber Ridge Church Yard, located outside of Lowery, Virginia.","Juliet Moore is the daughter of John Moore (I). She lived on a cattle farm in Iowa and her husband's name was Burt. They had two sons, John and Gaylord, who both studied medicine at Iowa State University.","Gaylord is the eldest son of Juliet Moore. In addition to attending Iowa State University, he also went to Rush College in Chicago. There, he played trombone in the college band and sang soprano in the choir. In 1938, he became a medical officer for the US Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Gaylord was close with his cousin, Robert Garrett Moore.","Mary Moore Kelly was John Moore's (I) sister. She died in late 1921. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, she was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and interested in family genealogy. In the early 1900s, she tried to construct a family tree with Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore, two distant cousins from Australia. She was married to Captain James R. Kelly, who worked in railroads before serving in the Indiana's fourteenth regiment during the Civil War; he was mortally wounded in battle and died in a Virginia hospital.","Henry Percival Moore \"HP\" was born on November 8, 1860 to Robert Walters Moore. He lived in Adelaide, Australia. In 1885, he married his wife Eleanor and they had three children. In 1912, his eldest Robert was stationed in India, his other son Brian was seventeen, and his daughter Mary was nine.","Arthur Walters Cameron Moore was Henry Percival Moore's brother and lived in St. Claire, Australia. He had several daughters and a wife named Sophy, all of which belonged to the Women's Liberal League. In addition to Henry, he had a widowed sister named Louise Gardner.","The guide to the Moore Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","This collection consists of fourteen folders of photographs, correspondence, and other documents relating to the Moore family between 1847 and 1948.","The first folder, Australia Moore family and genealogy papers, contains correspondence between Mary M. Kelly and her cousins, Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore during the early 1900s. In addition to relaying family news and bemoaning the onset of World War I, the letters discuss Moore family ancestry, tracing roots back to Ireland and an abandoned Catholic faith. A partial family tree is included in a letter written on January 17, 1911.","The second folder, Captain James R, Kelly and Mary Moore Kelly papers, contains photocopies and a transcript of letters and papers written by the couple during the American Civil War. It includes James R Kelly's notice of promotion to Captain of the Union Rifles on June 5, 1861 and a partial memoir of his Civil War service as written by his daughter. The correspondence ranges from July 20, 1861 to March 1, 1862 and gives a lot of insight into Civil War soldier conditions. In a notable letter dated July 23, 1861, James tells Mary, \"Our scouts surprised a secessionist camp consisting of forty-four men armed and a lot of women. All of the men were killed but ten. They have been brought into our camp; they are hard looking wretches. It is thought they will all be hung.\" In another dated January 28, 1862, he says, \"The Indiana regiments here are regarded as the most reliable on the Potomac while I feel proud of Indiana, and her brave soldiers, at the same time I can plainly see and feel that in order to maintain that proud position, we will most likely be exposed to the most dangerous positions in the army.\" On February 19, he laments: \"I have just been out among the men's tents, and in their quarters, the mud and water is full shoe-top deep. It is most painful to see the poor men cooking in the mud and rain but then it can't be helped, they must cook and eat while they live.\"","The third folder, Elizabeth Moore correspondence, contains family news as well as condolences about her son's death in 1925. Many of the letters are written to her from her husband; they lament about his estranged relationship with Robert, her cold behavior towards him, and his unhappiness with himself. In a letter date August 12, 1909, he tells her:","\"I feel that my life is wholly broken-maybe forever. I'm sorry for it all as it has been and has turned out. It has greatly saddened and soured me to see it thus-but maybe there is yet one more turn in life's ever changing kaleidoscope that will bring us together as one again. But fate is sometimes so cruel and unkind-but with me off life's checkerboard you'll be free and happy I hope, and will find someone who more nearly deserves your love and devotion than I do. I have richly earned your contempt and don't wonder you inwardly despise me when you recall the past and the horrors that lurk in its deepening shadows. The awful thoughts and the pangs of regret haunt me every hour of the course will be the burden of my torment in hell. Oh! That I never been born! I am afraid to be alone. Sometimes I wonder if I am going insane! I deserve it.\"","The fourth folder, Gaylord pictures, contains three pictures: one of him as a little boy and two of him dressed in Navy uniform.","The fifth folder, John Moore (I) correspondence, includes photocopies and a transcript of letters written between 1847 and 1862 that chronicle his career transition from a teacher in Louisiana to an army surgeon in the Third Seminole War, Army expedition against the Mormons, various Native American battles, and the Civil War. The letters hold strong opinions and their subjects include the famine in Ireland, slavery, and his Army experiences. On October 20, 1854, he wrote about meeting Billy Bowlegs: \"I was out in the woods some distance about a week ago, with the Indian agent, to see King Bowlegs and twenty or thirty of his warriors. He was very polite, spread skins for us on the ground and an awning overhead to keep off the sun. When Billy spoke all the others kept a respectful silence.\" On July 24, 1859, he wrote the following about the Mormons: \"The details of their domestic life are disgusting and revolting beyond anything you can imagine. How long are such a people to be not only tolerated but furnished with the means of growing rich beyond that of any proportion of the people in the States?\" On Dec 13, 1862 he was in the midst of the Battle of Fredericksburg and penned, \"One of the most bloody battles of the war will probably come off here today. I don't know what will happen to me. If you fancy the approach of such a battle depressed the spirits of men or officers you are greatly mistaken. I have never seen more mirth and joking than among the hundreds of officers assembled about this building, which is used as the HD. Quarters of General Burnside, and within range of the revel guns.\"","The sixth folder, John R. Moore (II) correspondence, contains letters written to family. His main recipients were his sister, Juliet, and aunt, Mary Kelly. He wrote about family news, his disappointment in his son, his alcoholism, his separation from his wife, and his work. A notable letter is one penned on March 2, 1895 to his future in-laws asking them for Elizabeth's hand in marriage. In another, written in Nov 1898, he tells his aunt: \"I cannot suck happiness out of a bottle.\" On July 14, 1919, he laments about his son to his sister, \"He has a fat chance to become an engineer. He should be a preacher- they don't do any work.\" In a sobering letter written to his aunt on June 20, 1925, John reveals that he first learned about his son's death from a newspaper clipping, after the funeral had already occurred.","The seventh folder, John R. Moore (II) documents \u0026 pictures includes items such as account books, tintype portraits, Homestead papers, and Civil Service Commission papers.","The eighth folder, General Moore family photographs, contains sixteen photographs of various generations of Moore family members. It includes pictures of the family at the beach, posing in front of enslaved workers, and a portrait of Robert Moore taken on 25 December 1894.","The ninth folder, Mary M. Kelly papers, contains correspondence relating family news and other documents such as real-estate warranty deeds, tax receipts, and a list of ancestry for Daughters of the American Revolution membership requirements.","The tenth and eleventh folders, Mary Mead Moore correspondence, include letters she received between 1902 and 1948. They mainly relate news of family and friends, information on radios, and advice about finances. Many letters written during the summer of 1925 convey condolences for her brother's death. Mary's main correspondent was her college friend, Betty.","The twelfth folder, Mary Mead Moore pictures, holds twenty-six photographs, mainly portraits, of Mary taken throughout her life. Included is a portrait of her posing in a college graduation gown with her mother and a stark black and white picture of middle-aged Mary with a serious expression and the word \"soul\" penciled on the back.","The last two folders, other correspondence and additional papers and ephemera, include materials created between 1880 and 1921. The letters talk about family news. One interesting letter addressed to Robert Moore in Blacksburg from an unknown sender on February 1, 1922, contains two lines: \"If a body write a body, and meet with no reply; might a body write a body, and ask a body why? Bob Moore, you're such a mess!!!\" Documents include such items as calling cards, receipts, newspaper articles, and report cards.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

In a notable letter dated July 23, 1861, James tells Mary, \"Our scouts surprised a secessionist camp consisting of forty-four men armed and a lot of women. All of the men were killed but ten. They have been brought into our camp; they are hard looking wretches. It is thought they will all be hung.\" In another dated January 28, 1862, he says, \"The Indiana regiments here are regarded as the most reliable on the Potomac while I feel proud of Indiana, and her brave soldiers, at the same time I can plainly see and feel that in order to maintain that proud position, we will most likely be exposed to the most dangerous positions in the army.\" On February 19, he laments: \"I have just been out among the men's tents, and in their quarters, the mud and water is full shoe-top deep. It is most painful to see the poor men cooking in the mud and rain but then it can't be helped, they must cook and eat while they live.\"","The third folder, Elizabeth Moore correspondence, contains family news as well as condolences about her son's death in 1925. Many of the letters are written to her from her husband; they lament about his estranged relationship with Robert, her cold behavior towards him, and his unhappiness with himself. In a letter date August 12, 1909, he tells her:","\"I feel that my life is wholly broken-maybe forever. I'm sorry for it all as it has been and has turned out. It has greatly saddened and soured me to see it thus-but maybe there is yet one more turn in life's ever changing kaleidoscope that will bring us together as one again. But fate is sometimes so cruel and unkind-but with me off life's checkerboard you'll be free and happy I hope, and will find someone who more nearly deserves your love and devotion than I do. I have richly earned your contempt and don't wonder you inwardly despise me when you recall the past and the horrors that lurk in its deepening shadows. The awful thoughts and the pangs of regret haunt me every hour of the course will be the burden of my torment in hell. Oh! That I never been born! I am afraid to be alone. Sometimes I wonder if I am going insane! I deserve it.\"","The fourth folder, Gaylord pictures, contains three pictures: one of him as a little boy and two of him dressed in Navy uniform.","The fifth folder, John Moore (I) correspondence, includes photocopies and a transcript of letters written between 1847 and 1862 that chronicle his career transition from a teacher in Louisiana to an army surgeon in the Third Seminole War, Army expedition against the Mormons, various Native American battles, and the Civil War. The letters hold strong opinions and their subjects include the famine in Ireland, slavery, and his Army experiences. On October 20, 1854, he wrote about meeting Billy Bowlegs: \"I was out in the woods some distance about a week ago, with the Indian agent, to see King Bowlegs and twenty or thirty of his warriors. He was very polite, spread skins for us on the ground and an awning overhead to keep off the sun. When Billy spoke all the others kept a respectful silence.\" On July 24, 1859, he wrote the following about the Mormons: \"The details of their domestic life are disgusting and revolting beyond anything you can imagine. How long are such a people to be not only tolerated but furnished with the means of growing rich beyond that of any proportion of the people in the States?\" On Dec 13, 1862 he was in the midst of the Battle of Fredericksburg and penned, \"One of the most bloody battles of the war will probably come off here today. I don't know what will happen to me. If you fancy the approach of such a battle depressed the spirits of men or officers you are greatly mistaken. I have never seen more mirth and joking than among the hundreds of officers assembled about this building, which is used as the HD. Quarters of General Burnside, and within range of the revel guns.\"","The sixth folder, John R. Moore (II) correspondence, contains letters written to family. His main recipients were his sister, Juliet, and aunt, Mary Kelly. He wrote about family news, his disappointment in his son, his alcoholism, his separation from his wife, and his work. A notable letter is one penned on March 2, 1895 to his future in-laws asking them for Elizabeth's hand in marriage. In another, written in Nov 1898, he tells his aunt: \"I cannot suck happiness out of a bottle.\" On July 14, 1919, he laments about his son to his sister, \"He has a fat chance to become an engineer. He should be a preacher- they don't do any work.\" In a sobering letter written to his aunt on June 20, 1925, John reveals that he first learned about his son's death from a newspaper clipping, after the funeral had already occurred.","The seventh folder, John R. Moore (II) documents \u0026 pictures includes items such as account books, tintype portraits, Homestead papers, and Civil Service Commission papers.","The eighth folder, General Moore family photographs, contains sixteen photographs of various generations of Moore family members. It includes pictures of the family at the beach, posing in front of enslaved workers, and a portrait of Robert Moore taken on 25 December 1894.","The ninth folder, Mary M. Kelly papers, contains correspondence relating family news and other documents such as real-estate warranty deeds, tax receipts, and a list of ancestry for Daughters of the American Revolution membership requirements.","The tenth and eleventh folders, Mary Mead Moore correspondence, include letters she received between 1902 and 1948.

It includes James R Kelly's notice of promotion to Captain of the Union Rifles on June 5, 1861 and a partial memoir of his Civil War service as written by his daughter. The correspondence ranges from July 20, 1861 to March 1, 1862 and gives a lot of insight into Civil War soldier conditions. In a notable letter dated July 23, 1861, James tells Mary, \"Our scouts surprised a secessionist camp consisting of forty-four men armed and a lot of women. All of the men were killed but ten. They have been brought into our camp; they are hard looking wretches. It is thought they will all be hung.\" In another dated January 28, 1862, he says, \"The Indiana regiments here are regarded as the most reliable on the Potomac while I feel proud of Indiana, and her brave soldiers, at the same time I can plainly see and feel that in order to maintain that proud position, we will most likely be exposed to the most dangerous positions in the army.\" On February 19, he laments: \"I have just been out among the men's tents, and in their quarters, the mud and water is full shoe-top deep. It is most painful to see the poor men cooking in the mud and rain but then it can't be helped, they must cook and eat while they live.\"","The third folder, Elizabeth Moore correspondence, contains family news as well as condolences about her son's death in 1925. Many of the letters are written to her from her husband; they lament about his estranged relationship with Robert, her cold behavior towards him, and his unhappiness with himself. In a letter date August 12, 1909, he tells her:","\"I feel that my life is wholly broken-maybe forever. I'm sorry for it all as it has been and has turned out. It has greatly saddened and soured me to see it thus-but maybe there is yet one more turn in life's ever changing kaleidoscope that will bring us together as one again. But fate is sometimes so cruel and unkind-but with me off life's checkerboard you'll be free and happy I hope, and will find someone who more nearly deserves your love and devotion than I do. I have richly earned your contempt and don't wonder you inwardly despise me when you recall the past and the horrors that lurk in its deepening shadows. The awful thoughts and the pangs of regret haunt me every hour of the course will be the burden of my torment in hell. Oh! That I never been born! I am afraid to be alone. Sometimes I wonder if I am going insane! I deserve it.\"","The fourth folder, Gaylord pictures, contains three pictures: one of him as a little boy and two of him dressed in Navy uniform.","The fifth folder, John Moore (I) correspondence, includes photocopies and a transcript of letters written between 1847 and 1862 that chronicle his career transition from a teacher in Louisiana to an army surgeon in the Third Seminole War, Army expedition against the Mormons, various Native American battles, and the Civil War. The letters hold strong opinions and their subjects include the famine in Ireland, slavery, and his Army experiences. On October 20, 1854, he wrote about meeting Billy Bowlegs: \"I was out in the woods some distance about a week ago, with the Indian agent, to see King Bowlegs and twenty or thirty of his warriors. He was very polite, spread skins for us on the ground and an awning overhead to keep off the sun. When Billy spoke all the others kept a respectful silence.\" On July 24, 1859, he wrote the following about the Mormons: \"The details of their domestic life are disgusting and revolting beyond anything you can imagine. How long are such a people to be not only tolerated but furnished with the means of growing rich beyond that of any proportion of the people in the States?\" On Dec 13, 1862 he was in the midst of the Battle of Fredericksburg and penned, \"One of the most bloody battles of the war will probably come off here today. I don't know what will happen to me. If you fancy the approach of such a battle depressed the spirits of men or officers you are greatly mistaken. I have never seen more mirth and joking than among the hundreds of officers assembled about this building, which is used as the HD. Quarters of General Burnside, and within range of the revel guns.\"","The sixth folder, John R. Moore (II) correspondence, contains letters written to family. His main recipients were his sister, Juliet, and aunt, Mary Kelly. He wrote about family news, his disappointment in his son, his alcoholism, his separation from his wife, and his work. A notable letter is one penned on March 2, 1895 to his future in-laws asking them for Elizabeth's hand in marriage. In another, written in Nov 1898, he tells his aunt: \"I cannot suck happiness out of a bottle.\" On July 14, 1919, he laments about his son to his sister, \"He has a fat chance to become an engineer. He should be a preacher- they don't do any work.\" In a sobering letter written to his aunt on June 20, 1925, John reveals that he first learned about his son's death from a newspaper clipping, after the funeral had already occurred.","The seventh folder, John R. Moore (II) documents \u0026 pictures includes items such as account books, tintype portraits, Homestead papers, and Civil Service Commission papers.","The eighth folder, General Moore family photographs, contains sixteen photographs of various generations of Moore family members. It includes pictures of the family at the beach, posing in front of enslaved workers, and a portrait of Robert Moore taken on 25 December 1894.","The ninth folder, Mary M. Kelly papers, contains correspondence relating family news and other documents such as real-estate warranty deeds, tax receipts, and a list of ancestry for Daughters of the American Revolution membership requirements.","The tenth and eleventh folders, Mary Mead Moore correspondence, include letters she received between 1902 and 1948. They mainly relate news of family and friends, information on radios, and advice about finances. Many letters written during the summer of 1925 convey condolences for her brother's death. Mary's main correspondent was her college friend, Betty.","The twelfth folder, Mary Mead Moore pictures, holds twenty-six photographs, mainly portraits, of Mary taken throughout her life. Included is a portrait of her posing in a college graduation gown with her mother and a stark black and white picture of middle-aged Mary with a serious expression and the word \"soul\" penciled on the back.","The last two folders, other correspondence and additional papers and ephemera, include materials created between 1880 and 1921. The letters talk about family news. One interesting letter addressed to Robert Moore in Blacksburg from an unknown sender on February 1, 1922, contains two lines: \"If a body write a body, and meet with no reply; might a body write a body, and ask a body why? Bob Moore, you're such a mess!!!\" Documents include such items as calling cards, receipts, newspaper articles, and report cards."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright status of this collection is unknown.

Series IV: Data Sheets includes related information about the areas depicted in the photographs.","Series V: IPS Forms for GNRHD consists of copies of forms submitted for Virginia Division of Historic Landmark status. In addition to Newport and Clover Hollow, other forms relate to Mountain Lake.","Materials were organized into series based on type/format. All series were left in their original order, though the photographs and data sheets were removed from binders.","Newport and Clover Hollow are located in Giles County, Virginia.  They form part of the Greater Newport Rural Historic District, which is located in the Eastern District of Giles County.  Listed in the National Registrar of Historic Places in 2000, the Greater Newport Rural Historic District includes five distinct sections: Sinking Creek, Spruce Run, Clover Hollow, Plowscrew, and Mountain Lake.  The historic district is agricultural and rural in character, consisting mostly of nineteenth and early-twentieth century farmsteads.  Overall, the district includes approximately 21,085 acres.","Closely associated with the effort to designate this area as a rural historic district was the struggle by community members against AEP's proposed powerline.  In March 1990, the contestation over proposed powerline routes was initiated when the energy company Apco -- which would change its name to AEP during the course of the powerline battle -- announced its plans to build a transmission line from West Virginia to Cloverdale.  The estimated date for its completion was 1998.  Following this announcement, opposition arose from communities along the proposed route.  In Giles County, Virginia, concerned community members joined together to create the organization Citizens Organized to Protect the Environment (COPE), which fought against the proposed powerline. \n     \nFor more detailed information on the powerline struggle and establishment of the Greater Newport Rural Historical District see the following:","Carlisle, Fred.  \"Insiders, Outsiders, and the Struggle for Community,\" Appalachian Journal, Vol. 26, No. 3 (Spring 1999), 240-251.","Carlisle, Fred.  \"The Past in the Present: The Greater Newport Rural Historic District,\" Appalachian Journal, Vol. 32, No. 1 (Fall 2004), 50-66.","Sources Consulted:","\"Greater Newport Rural Historic District, Giles County, Virginia,\" http://www.cr.nps.gov/NR/publications/bulletins/01workshop/newport.htm","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Newport and Clover Hollow, Giles County History Collection was completed in November 2013.","The Newport and Clover Hollow, Giles County History collection contains oral history interviews, transcripts, notes, newspaper clippings, historic district survey forms, a video tape, and a geological survey map related to the creation of the Greater Newport Rural Historic District.  The collection dates from 1973 to 2009, although it does include a typed copy of a 1904 Giles county will.  The materials in this collection not only reveal information on the history and people of Giles county, but they also document the community's efforts to get Newport designated as a rural agricultural historic district.  Most of the newspaper clippings concern the threat of AEP building a new powerline that would have cut across the Newport area.","Some transcripts appear to be mixed into the wrong file, however, as this was the way in which material was presented, original order was maintained.","The following books have been removed from the collection and catalogued for the Rare Book Collection:\n\nHiss, Tony.

Educated in California, Chadeayne began studying architecture at the University of California (currently UCLA) in 1922 later completing her coursework at Berkeley when the UCLA architecture program was shut down.  Chadeayne graduated with a B.A. in Architecture from Berkeley on May 12, 1926 and went on to complete her graduate work there in 1927.","Los Angeles based architecture firm, Pierpont \u0026 Walter Davis hired Chadeayne shortly after graduation in 1927.  During the time Chadeayne spent at the firm she worked on a number of small residential projects improving her drafting abilities.  In 1935 Chadeayne met and became close associate to architect Lilian J. Rice (1888-1938).  For three years Chadeayne collaborated with Rice, designing two schools, small offices and other assorted buildings.  Their association was cut short when Lilian Rice passed away suddenly in 1938, Chadeayne went on to complete a number of Rice's unfinished work projects.","In 1940 Chadeayne began taking on private contract work for the first time and accepted a teaching position at Cornell University.  There, she taught house planning in the College of Home Economics.  By July 1942 however, Chadeayne returned to California taking work as a production illustrator for the Lockheed engineering department in war service.  While working for Lockheed Chadeayne also handled side projects for various firms in the Los Angeles area concentrating primarily on residential and educational facilities.  In 1945 Chadeayne left Lockheed.","By 1951 Chadeayne was hired at Daniel, Mann, Johnson \u0026 Mendenhall (DMJM).  Her job at the company required extensive travel to educational facilities in various stages of building development.  As a result of her travels, Chadeayne became a highly skilled specifications writer for DMJM.  Her ability to write technically became her greatest professional asset.","\"I tried to write specifications so that the ordinary workmen could understand them.  I found that the specifications were the standard by which the building was built and that some of the workmen couldn't understand…So I tried to write them in a way that anybody could…\"","From 1958 to 1965 Chadeayne worked at Los Angeles based firm, A.Q. Jones \u0026 Frederick Emmons.  She worked on a number of projects including a U.S. Air Force hospital, Naval housing and most significantly, the U.S. Consulate in Singapore.  By 1966 one of Chadeayne's most prominent architectural endeavors began when she was hired to write specifications at the Bank of America Headquarters in San Francisco, California.","By 1970 Chadeayne retired formally but continued working part time until 1973 as a consultant for renowned architecture firm, Skidmore Owings \u0026 Merrill (SOM).  There she wrote furnishing specifications for a bank project in Buffalo, NY.","Throughout her career and in retirement Chadeayne held membership with the AWA (Association of Women Architects) and the Los Angeles chapter of the AIA (American Institute of Architects).  Chadeayne took an active in role in AIA serving as chairwoman for the membership committee and later on the Codes Committee ensuring utilization of California building regulations statewide.","In her free time Chadeayne enjoyed cooking and gardening.  She spent significant time traveling with friends and family visiting such places as Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan.  She died on February 23, 2001 at the age of 97 in Tracy, California.","Works Consulted","Chadeayne, O., Horton, I.

She attended the University of California at Berkley for architecture and in 1910 became one of the first females to graduate from the program.  Rice's greatest professional achievement came from her work as resident architect in the design of the upscale southern California community, Rancho Santa Fe.","Recognized for her work with Spanish colonial architecture, Rice advocated utilizing natural and local materials to blend surrounding landscapes into her designs.  This practice was particularly evident in her work on the Rancho Santa Fe community.","\"Every environment here calls for simplicity and beauty: the gorgeous natural landscapes, the gently broken topography, the nearby mountains. No one with a sense of fitness, it seems to me, could violate these natural factors by creating anything that lacked simplicity in line and form and color.\"","In addition to her work on the Rancho Santa Fe community, Rice designed San Dieguito Union High School in Encitas, California later serving as an original trustee for the Rancho Santa Fe school district.","Lilian Rice died suddenly on Dec. 22, 1938 at the age of 49.","Sources:","Cox, Lilian.

Correspondence, 1970-1981, n.d., contains letters relating to the research, publication and sale of Johnson's various books. Many of the letters consist of little more than book orders, while others--particularly those of Lee Pendleton--contain information on the history of Montgomery County and surrounding areas. The series also includes a few pieces of correspondence which had been addressed to Lula Porterfield Givens and apparently shared with Johnson.","Series II. Subject Files, 1965-1984, contains research notes and other materials compiled by Johnson in preparation for her books on Andrew Lewis, Jacob Miller, James Patton, William Preston, and the early settlement of the New River Valley. The James Patton file includes a typescript of the Augusta Parish Vestry Book and galley proofs for Johnson's James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists.

Givens' Christiansburg file has histories of Cambria and the Montgomery County Courthouse, while her Montgomery County folder consists of writings by Lee Pendleton on various aspects of Elliston-area history.","Series III. Printed Materials, 1965-1986, includes articles by Johnson and Porterfield; histories of the Cox, Givens and Harless families; and various pamphlets and newsclippings relating to genealogical resources and topics in local history.","Series IV. Scrapbook, 1962-1978, is a single scrapbook compiled by Lula Givens, contains mostly newsclippings relating to Southwest Virginia history. It also includes clippings and ephemera of personal interest, relating to acquaintances and national celebrities.","Series V. Photographs and Illustrations, 1920-1979, were primarily collected for use in Johnson's and Givens' various books, though not all of the images were published. The photographs are from a number of sources, including local newspapers and personal collections. The series is of probably greatest interest for images of the Christiansburg High School, Montgomery County Courthouse, Virginia Tech classes and campus of the 1920s, and a 1954 Palace Theatre (Christiansburg) program calendar.","Patricia Miller Givens, teacher and local historian, was born in Newport, Virginia, on March 9, 1932. Known familiarly as \"Patsy,\" Givens was the daughter of Hugh Peck and Lula Porterfield Givens. She graduated from Christiansburg High School in 1949, later obtaining her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin (1956) and master's from the College of William and Mary (1963). In December 1953, she married Walter L. Johnson; the couple would have one son, Walter Peck Johnson. Patricia Johnson taught history and social studies in various schools as the family moved frequently--to Texas, Japan, England, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.--due to the demands of her husband's air force career. Around 1980, the Johnsons returned to the New River Valley area, where they bought and restored the former James Bain Price home in Prices Fork.","Like her mother, Johnson maintained a lifetime interest in the history of Southwest Virginia; she eventually published 15 books and numerous articles related to the subject and became one of the foremost authorities on local history. Johnson's interests were reflected by her memberships in the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.","Johnson died on September 3, 1996; she is buried in the Price Cemetery, Prices Fork, Virginia.","Lula Porterfield, teacher, local historian, and mother of Patricia Givens Johnson, was born in Giles County, Virginia on September 18, 1906. The youngest child of Jehu and Josephine Williams Porterfield, she began teaching in Giles County in 1925. Porterfield married Hugh Peck Givens in Roanoke on December 20, 1930. The couple had two children (Patricia M. and Hugh P. Jr.) and separated in 1939. In the meantime, Lula Givens had moved to Christiansburg and begun a 35-year teaching career in the Montgomery County school system. After her retirement in 1972, Givens was able to devote time to an interest in local history; her research resulted in two books: Highlights in the Early History of Montgomery County, Virginia(1975) and Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia: in the Heart of the Alleghenies(1981).","Lula P.

Correspondence, 1970-1981, n.d., contains letters relating to the research, publication and sale of Johnson's various books. Many of the letters consist of little more than book orders, while others--particularly those of Lee Pendleton--contain information on the history of Montgomery County and surrounding areas. The series also includes a few pieces of correspondence which had been addressed to Lula Porterfield Givens and apparently shared with Johnson.","Series II. Subject Files, 1965-1984, contains research notes and other materials compiled by Johnson in preparation for her books on Andrew Lewis, Jacob Miller, James Patton, William Preston, and the early settlement of the New River Valley. The James Patton file includes a typescript of the Augusta Parish Vestry Book and galley proofs for Johnson's James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists.

The photographs are from a number of sources, including local newspapers and personal collections. The series is of probably greatest interest for images of the Christiansburg High School, Montgomery County Courthouse, Virginia Tech classes and campus of the 1920s, and a 1954 Palace Theatre (Christiansburg) program calendar.","Patricia Miller Givens, teacher and local historian, was born in Newport, Virginia, on March 9, 1932. Known familiarly as \"Patsy,\" Givens was the daughter of Hugh Peck and Lula Porterfield Givens. She graduated from Christiansburg High School in 1949, later obtaining her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin (1956) and master's from the College of William and Mary (1963). In December 1953, she married Walter L. Johnson; the couple would have one son, Walter Peck Johnson. Patricia Johnson taught history and social studies in various schools as the family moved frequently--to Texas, Japan, England, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.--due to the demands of her husband's air force career. Around 1980, the Johnsons returned to the New River Valley area, where they bought and restored the former James Bain Price home in Prices Fork.","Like her mother, Johnson maintained a lifetime interest in the history of Southwest Virginia; she eventually published 15 books and numerous articles related to the subject and became one of the foremost authorities on local history. Johnson's interests were reflected by her memberships in the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.","Johnson died on September 3, 1996; she is buried in the Price Cemetery, Prices Fork, Virginia.","Lula Porterfield, teacher, local historian, and mother of Patricia Givens Johnson, was born in Giles County, Virginia on September 18, 1906. The youngest child of Jehu and Josephine Williams Porterfield, she began teaching in Giles County in 1925. Porterfield married Hugh Peck Givens in Roanoke on December 20, 1930. The couple had two children (Patricia M. and Hugh P. Jr.) and separated in 1939. In the meantime, Lula Givens had moved to Christiansburg and begun a 35-year teaching career in the Montgomery County school system. After her retirement in 1972, Givens was able to devote time to an interest in local history; her research resulted in two books: Highlights in the Early History of Montgomery County, Virginia(1975) and Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia: in the Heart of the Alleghenies(1981).","Lula P.
