Virginians bought stock in the coporation, including many people in Rockingham County; rights of way were purchased and railbed grading began.  Like similar ventures of the time, the goals of the company never bore fruit, and work halted in 1874.","In 1892, a group of promoters including Jedediah Hotchkiss incorporated to build a railway to carry coal from West Virginia mines to Gloucester Point, Virginia. Initially called the Chesapeake, Shendun, and Western Railroad, the name was quickly changed to Chesapeake \u0026 Western Railroad. Using part of the old WC\u0026StL right-of-way, and with $150,000 from the city of Harrisonburg to ensure that the railroad would pass through it, a 26-mile single-track, standard-gauge line was completed from Elkton to Bridgewater and began operating on March 23, 1896. In the next few years, substantial C\u0026W stock was purchased by New York investor Thomas Stokes, who hoped to develop the coal mines in western Rockingham County but became mired in financial difficulties. His brother, W.E.D Stokes, purchased control of the C\u0026W and also organized a new railroad, the Tidewater and West Virginia, in 1900. The Tidewater changed its name in 1901 to the Chesapeake Western Railway, leased the CW line for 99 years, and in 1902 completed 13 miles of rail from Bridgewater to the new town of Stokesville in North River Gap. Trains carried passengers as well as freight between Elkton and Stokesville. Plans were drawn up to continue the line into West Virginia but were not implemented.","For just over a decade, Stokesville boomed as timber, tanbark, and to a much more limited extent, coal, in the area were exploited. Stokes operated the CW with offices in Harrisonburg until his death in 1926. His estate continued to operate the railway until 1938. In 1928, the line from Mount Solon to North River Gap was abandoned for financial reasons. In 1933, the nine miles from Bridgewater to Mount Solon were also dropped.  When the Stokes' heirs put the CW up for sale in 1938, Don W. Thomas, a former Norfolk \u0026 Western Railroad employee who had been the general manager of the CW since 1926, fought a bid from Japanese scrap metal buyers and bought the line. In 1943, Thomas also bought the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio's Valley Road of Virginia line which rean between Harrisonburg and Lexington. The line south of Staunton was taken up and sold for scrap, but the road between Harrisonburg and Staunton was improved and became an important link in the CW system because of the connection with the Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio Railroad at Staunton.

Virginians bought stock in the coporation, including many people in Rockingham County; rights of way were purchased and railbed grading began.  Like similar ventures of the time, the goals of the company never bore fruit, and work halted in 1874.","In 1892, a group of promoters including Jedediah Hotchkiss incorporated to build a railway to carry coal from West Virginia mines to Gloucester Point, Virginia. Initially called the Chesapeake, Shendun, and Western Railroad, the name was quickly changed to Chesapeake \u0026 Western Railroad. Using part of the old WC\u0026StL right-of-way, and with $150,000 from the city of Harrisonburg to ensure that the railroad would pass through it, a 26-mile single-track, standard-gauge line was completed from Elkton to Bridgewater and began operating on March 23, 1896. In the next few years, substantial C\u0026W stock was purchased by New York investor Thomas Stokes, who hoped to develop the coal mines in western Rockingham County but became mired in financial difficulties. His brother, W.E.D Stokes, purchased control of the C\u0026W and also organized a new railroad, the Tidewater and West Virginia, in 1900. The Tidewater changed its name in 1901 to the Chesapeake Western Railway, leased the CW line for 99 years, and in 1902 completed 13 miles of rail from Bridgewater to the new town of Stokesville in North River Gap. Trains carried passengers as well as freight between Elkton and Stokesville. Plans were drawn up to continue the line into West Virginia but were not implemented.","For just over a decade, Stokesville boomed as timber, tanbark, and to a much more limited extent, coal, in the area were exploited. Stokes operated the CW with offices in Harrisonburg until his death in 1926. His estate continued to operate the railway until 1938. In 1928, the line from Mount Solon to North River Gap was abandoned for financial reasons. In 1933, the nine miles from Bridgewater to Mount Solon were also dropped.  When the Stokes' heirs put the CW up for sale in 1938, Don W. Thomas, a former Norfolk \u0026 Western Railroad employee who had been the general manager of the CW since 1926, fought a bid from Japanese scrap metal buyers and bought the line. In 1943, Thomas also bought the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio's Valley Road of Virginia line which rean between Harrisonburg and Lexington. The line south of Staunton was taken up and sold for scrap, but the road between Harrisonburg and Staunton was improved and became an important link in the CW system because of the connection with the Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio Railroad at Staunton. The CW linked with the Norfolk \u0026 Western at Elkton.","In 1954, the Norfolk \u0026 Western Railroad purchased CW, but the name was retained and was operated as a separate corporation. By about 1980, however, little or no rolling stock carried the CW logo any longer. Norfolk \u0026 Western and the Southern Railway Company merged as Norfolk Southern Corporation on June 1, 1982. Not long after that merger, a five-alarm fire burned the CW office located at Chesapeake Drive in Harrisonburg on July 28, 1982, and company offices and operations were eventually absorbed by the NS. Five miles of track east of Bridgewater were removed in 1988. The CW under the control of NS serves as the Harrisonburg area's poultry feed supplier passing through the campus of James Madison University daily.","Records represent the day to day business operation of the Chesapeake Western Railway Company through 1982. After a fire that year, records were left in the CW building on Chesapeake Drive in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and remained in that facility until 1997.","Due to the unwieldy nature of virtually off the bound ledgers, pages were removed from their covers and parceled into folders as both an aid to researchers and as a practical means to consolidate space.  The condition of some boards was also questionable with evidence of mold and pest damage. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017. This collection was previously cataloged as SC 4010.","The Chesapeake Western Railway Company Records, 1916-1982, consist of 24.36 cubic feet of business records pertaining to the employees, assets, and business transactions of the company.

Since its founding in 1779, the City of Harrisonburg has grown from two and a half acres of land to 11,132.16 acres (11.64 square miles). The Harrisonburg Historic Map Collection was created and compiled by the Harrisonburg Department of Planning and Community Development. The department oversees development and planning within the City of Harrisonburg. Among other things, the department maintains a Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance. The department is divided into three divisions:","Building Inspections\nEngineering\nPlanning and Zoning\n\nThe Building Inspections division oversees code interpretation, permits, and provides assistance to ensure new building projects are planned in compliance with City and building codes.","The Engineering division provides engineering and surveying, public works inspections, and geographic information systems (GIS).","The Planning and Zoning division promotes development according to the City's Comprehensive Plan and government laws by making recommendations to elected and appointed city officials about proposed development based on facts and public forums.

Accessed October 12, 2016. http://hburgnews.com/2010/06/18/franklin-heights-renovation-completed/.","\"Zoning Information.\" City of Harrisonburg, VA. 2016. Accessed October 12, 2016. https://www.harrisonburgva.gov/zoning/.","The Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority (HRHA) was founded in November 1955 to combat urban dilapidation and to ensure a revived urban zone within Harrisonburg along with affordable housing for residents. It still operates today within the city of Harrisonburg with its original mission statement: \"To promote adequate and affordable housing economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free from discrimination; and to foster redevelopment of  blighted areas to ensure the economic, social and housing vitality of our community.\"","These photos, dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, were taken as part of the R4 and R16 programs and show areas believed to be in need of urban renewal. R4 refers to the zoning district that was administered by the City of Harrisonburg. According to the City of Harrisonburg, the R4 designation denotes a planned unit residential district zone and is mainly an indicator of planned communities of affordable subsidized government housing with various requirements and standards.","The photographs of the Franklin and Harrison Heights neighborhood developments were the first projects by the R4 Commission and the HRHA as a whole. Franklin Heights, located on Lincoln Circle and Kelley, Hill, E. Johnson, Broad, E. Gay, Myrtle, and Sterling Streets, was constructed on a former Harrisonburg landfill. Harrison Heights is located on Myers Avenue and E. Bruce, Norwood, and Reservoir Streets. Both developments were made available to lower income families and subsidized by the city of Harrisonburg.","The R4 and R16 programs revived the urban areas of Harrisonburg, but had a social cost of dispersing and displacing the previous residents of areas they affected. These affected neighborhoods were largely integrated prior to the R4 and R16 urban renewal efforts. However, the resulting displacement of residents reinforced racial separation within the city.","In preparation for possible future rusting and failure of the fasteners, all photographs from the R16 Urban Renewal Project photo album were removed and foldered numerically according to their assigned number. The photo album is foldered and housed separately in a half-Hollinger box. Photograph #29 from this photo album was mended in order to reattach the upper right corner that had become detached.","Robert James Sullivan Jr. Papers, 1930-2013, SC 0003, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA.","The Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority Photographs, 1960-1987, consist of two Hollinger boxes and 1 half-Hollinger box (.86 cubic feet). The collection consists primarily of photographs, and also include several photocopies and also include a photo album. All of the photographs are black-and-white, ranging in size from 3 ½ x 5 inches to 8 x 10 inches. The photos are in fairly good condition with the exception of some folds, minor tears, and holes in corners from staples.","The photographs mainly document areas that the Harrisonburg Redevelopment \u0026 Housing Authority was considering for urban renewal. The photos often depict areas of downtown and residential Harrisonburg that are dilapidated, vacant, or deemed unappealing.","Four folders of photographs document the construction of Franklin Heights and Harrison Heights, planned communities of subsidized housing spearheaded by the HRHA in 1960-1961 located on Kelley Street, Lincoln Circle, East Bruce, Hill, Broad, East Gay, Myrtle, Sterling, Norwood, East Johnson, Reservoir Street, and Myers Avenue. The photographs show the various phases of construction and are labeled based on the area within the community and the housing units that are depicted. They are organized numerically by the numbered labels affixed to or printed on the photographs. The researcher should note that there are gaps in the numbers indicating missing photographs. \"Allen Litten Photo\" is stamped on the verso of each photograph. It is presumed that HRHA commissioned Allen Litten, a local photographer, to take the photographs.","A portion of the photographs, 96 in total, were originally compiled in a photo album titled \"PHOTOS URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT VA. R-16 APRIL 5, 1962.\" The photographs were originally stapled to the album pages, but were removed in preparation for possible future rusting and failure of the fasteners. The photo album is foldered and boxed separately from the photographs. These photographs, all measuring 8 x 10 inches and dating to 1962, show the houses and buildings targeted for renewal with the R16 program. The photographs are numbered based upon the structure they depict. Each structure was photographed from at least two different angles – primarily a front and back view. There are some gaps within the numbering system, with buildings 27, 28, 39, and 50 not included in the collection at all. Additional unnumbered photographs include various depictions of seemingly unrelated subjects. One depicts a facsimile of a much older photograph, likely from the early twentieth century.","The collection also includes a set of 287 3 ½ x 5 inches photos taken in 1982 by Ann McCleary. These photographs show houses and businesses in downtown and residential Harrisonburg on a block-by-block basis, with each block separated into one envelope. Each of the envelopes (refoldered into 26 folders) has its own file number used by the HRHA. The numbers begin at 115-27 and end with 115-55. File No. 115-28, 115-29, and 115-53 are not included in the collection. Three of the 20 photographs from File No. 115-45 were not included in the donation; only 17 are present.","One folder contains photocopies of undated photographs while another single folder contains miscellaneous photographs that are unlabeled and of assorted sizes of Harrisonburg ranging from 1960-1987.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

He otherwise occupied himself with agricultural pursuits as a farmer.","Ella Heatwole Jacobson graduated from the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1912 with a professional degree. While a student, Ella was a member of the Lee Literary Society and also served as chairwoman of the YWCA's bible study committee. Prior to marrying Anton Nikolai Jacobson on February 7, 1917 and moving to Cutbank, Montana, where her brother Elmer was also a resident, Ella taught school in Rockingham County, Virginia and was a member of the Singers Glen Baptist Church. She died August 21, 1918 in Montana from a complication of diseases. Her body was returned to Virginia in the company of her parents and her brother Elmer.
