Her father, James L. (\"Dot\") Addington, owned a \"racket,\" or mercantile, store in town. Cynthia attended Virginia Intermont College in Bristol and graduated in 1918 with a teacher's degree in voice, harmony, and history of music. She married Roy Gilley Boatwright in 1919 and gave birth to their only child, a daughter, Ida Virginia Frances, in 1921. Her husband worked as a cashier at the First National Bank and then at Cynthia's father's store. From 1943 to 1965, he was the Coeburn Postmaster.","Soon after her marriage, Boatwright turned her energies toward volunteer work, a passion that proved consistent throughout her life. In the 1920s and 1930s, she was active in such local clubs and groups as the Methodist Missionary Club, the Woman's Society of Christian Service, and the Coeburn Women's Club. As chair of the Christian Social Relations Committee and Local Work, she taught Bible Class at the Colored Church every second Sunday. She was involved in the Children's Home Society and served on the executive committees of the Virginia Cancer Foundation and chapel fund of the Industrial Farm for Women. She served on the advisory council of the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood.","But Boatwright's activities were not just limited to club work. She was the first woman in Wise County to run for public office and served on the Coeburn Town Council from 1934 to 1938.","Beginning in the late 1930s, Boatwright became increasingly involved in the Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs (VFWC). She was President of her local district women's club from 1935 to 1938, and in 1938, she was elected Vice-President of the VFWC. The pinnacle of her VFWC career was as President in the war years of 1941 to 1944. She was the first southwest Virginia woman to be President of that organization. During her years as President, the VFWC turned its attention to the war effort, by donating ambulances to the Red Cross, encouraging women to volunteer for civil defense, conservation, and nursing services, and supporting the USO. Her theme was \"Let us rise up and build.\"","Other activities of the 1940s included being appointed in 1941 by Governor James H. Price to the State Defense Council and serving from 1944 to 1947 as chair of the General Federation of Women's Clubs Aviation Defense Board. Boatwright was president of the Coeburn Woman's Club from 1945 to 1946 and President of the Wise County Federation of Women's Clubs from 1944 to 1947.","Although she was born a Baptist, Boatwright became a Methodist after her marriage, and she actively applied her energies to the church all her life. She played the piano for Sunday church and funeral services throughout her lifetime. From 1947 to 1951, she served as President of the Big Stone Gap district of the Women's Society of Christian Service. In 1960, she headed a fund drive for additions to buildings at the district Methodist Camp.","When Virginia Polytechnic Institute merged with Radford College in 1944, the composition of the Board of Visitors changed from fifteen to sixteen members, with four of these to be women. Boatwright was appointed in December 1944 as one of these first four women on the VPI-Radford College Board of Visitors, where she served until 1953.","Boatwright worked strenuously for the Democratic Party in the late 1940s and 1950s. She was a member of the Democratic State Central Committee and chair of the Virginia Ninth District Democratic Party Women's Division, and delegate to the 1952 and 1956 National Democratic Conventions. From 1954 to 1958, she was the Virginia representative to the National Democratic Advisory Committee on Political Organization.","Other organizations in which Boatwright was involved include the Virginia Heart Fund, the Virginia Cancer Foundation, Breaks of the Cumberland Park, and the Eastern Wise Chapter of the American Red Cross. She also wrote about Coeburn social and community events for the Coalfield Progress.","Boatwright died on March 5, 1973, in Grundy, Virginia. She is buried in the Laurel Grove Cemetery in Norton, Virginia.","The guide to the Cynthia Addington Boatwright Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Cynthia Addington Boatwright Papers was completed in February 1991.

Her father, James L. (\"Dot\") Addington, owned a \"racket,\" or mercantile, store in town. Cynthia attended Virginia Intermont College in Bristol and graduated in 1918 with a teacher's degree in voice, harmony, and history of music. She married Roy Gilley Boatwright in 1919 and gave birth to their only child, a daughter, Ida Virginia Frances, in 1921. Her husband worked as a cashier at the First National Bank and then at Cynthia's father's store. From 1943 to 1965, he was the Coeburn Postmaster.","Soon after her marriage, Boatwright turned her energies toward volunteer work, a passion that proved consistent throughout her life. In the 1920s and 1930s, she was active in such local clubs and groups as the Methodist Missionary Club, the Woman's Society of Christian Service, and the Coeburn Women's Club. As chair of the Christian Social Relations Committee and Local Work, she taught Bible Class at the Colored Church every second Sunday. She was involved in the Children's Home Society and served on the executive committees of the Virginia Cancer Foundation and chapel fund of the Industrial Farm for Women. She served on the advisory council of the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood.","But Boatwright's activities were not just limited to club work. She was the first woman in Wise County to run for public office and served on the Coeburn Town Council from 1934 to 1938.","Beginning in the late 1930s, Boatwright became increasingly involved in the Virginia Federation of Women's Clubs (VFWC). She was President of her local district women's club from 1935 to 1938, and in 1938, she was elected Vice-President of the VFWC. The pinnacle of her VFWC career was as President in the war years of 1941 to 1944. She was the first southwest Virginia woman to be President of that organization. During her years as President, the VFWC turned its attention to the war effort, by donating ambulances to the Red Cross, encouraging women to volunteer for civil defense, conservation, and nursing services, and supporting the USO. Her theme was \"Let us rise up and build.\"","Other activities of the 1940s included being appointed in 1941 by Governor James H. Price to the State Defense Council and serving from 1944 to 1947 as chair of the General Federation of Women's Clubs Aviation Defense Board. Boatwright was president of the Coeburn Woman's Club from 1945 to 1946 and President of the Wise County Federation of Women's Clubs from 1944 to 1947.","Although she was born a Baptist, Boatwright became a Methodist after her marriage, and she actively applied her energies to the church all her life. She played the piano for Sunday church and funeral services throughout her lifetime. From 1947 to 1951, she served as President of the Big Stone Gap district of the Women's Society of Christian Service. In 1960, she headed a fund drive for additions to buildings at the district Methodist Camp.","When Virginia Polytechnic Institute merged with Radford College in 1944, the composition of the Board of Visitors changed from fifteen to sixteen members, with four of these to be women. Boatwright was appointed in December 1944 as one of these first four women on the VPI-Radford College Board of Visitors, where she served until 1953.","Boatwright worked strenuously for the Democratic Party in the late 1940s and 1950s. She was a member of the Democratic State Central Committee and chair of the Virginia Ninth District Democratic Party Women's Division, and delegate to the 1952 and 1956 National Democratic Conventions. From 1954 to 1958, she was the Virginia representative to the National Democratic Advisory Committee on Political Organization.","Other organizations in which Boatwright was involved include the Virginia Heart Fund, the Virginia Cancer Foundation, Breaks of the Cumberland Park, and the Eastern Wise Chapter of the American Red Cross. She also wrote about Coeburn social and community events for the Coalfield Progress.","Boatwright died on March 5, 1973, in Grundy, Virginia.

King is an architect and professor who has practiced in Germany, the United States, and the Bahamas.

Upon graduating from HBK she worked for two years (1962-1964) in the architectural office of Dipl. Ing. Hilde Westrom, one of the few independently working women architects in Berlin. King would go on to receive the Airlift Memorial Scholarship and Fulbright Travel Grant allowing her to study under Louis I. Kahn in his Master Studio at the University of Pennsylvania (1965-1967). Her experiences with Kahn would greatly influence her own style of teaching at the Pratt Institute School of Architecture (1969-1981) and other organizations.","King and her husband, fellow architect Douglas King, were offered the opportunity to work as architects with the Government of the Bahamas in Nassau (1981-1985). There she primarily worked on projects for the Ministries of Health and Housing including: public rental units with a senior citizen complex, design for a high school library in Cooperstown, and as project architect and head construction supervisor for the Bahamas Nursing School.  1985-1991 saw King commuting between New York, Nassau, and Florida as she finished supervising the Bahamas Nursing School and partnered with her husband on a design-build company called Kingston Homes in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Shortly after returning to New York full-time (1991) King began teaching at several New York institutions and public schools within the city (1993-2008).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Dorothee Stelzer King Architectural Collection was completed in May 2013.

Benefiting from the popular belief in the restorative powers of mineral waters, the Montgomery White catered to a new leisure class seeking healthy and entertaining distractions. In doing so, the resort joined such other nearby establishments as the Greenbrier White, Old Sweet, and Yellow Sulphur springs. The Montgomery White, encompassing several acres of land, boasted a three-story hotel with more than 200 rooms and more than 30 cottages on the grounds.","During the American Civil War, in 1862, the resort was designated a Confederate general hospital, charged with caring for sick and wounded soldiers. By the end of the summer, the hospital was at capacity, with more than 400 patients. While there is no complete list of those who died in the hospital, the nearby cemetery is said to hold 265 graves.","Following the war and much renovation, the Montgomery White again opened to the public and became a popular summertime destination. In 1872, the resort hosted the first board meeting of the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, and in 1874, Jefferson Davis visited for the Southern Historical Society's organizational meeting.","By 1886, George W.

By the 1890s, however, the Montgomery White and other such resorts were slowly declining in popularity. The economic panic of 1893, together with undocumented instances of fire and flood, may have accelerated the resort's downfall. The Montgomery White property was sold by auction and the remaining structures dismantled in 1904.","Source: Bodell, Dorothy.
