The program usually consisted of one or more presentations by members. Presentations often included readings from published material or original writings, but were usually informational in nature. Topics included temperance, suffrage for women, civil rights for African Americans, foreign affairs, local history, and current events. During World War II there was a program on using sugar substitutes and members were asked to contribute sugar-shortage recipes. The membership also shared ideas about education, child rearing, and household maintenance.","Initially, membership was capped at twenty, though the club eventually expanded its membership to twenty-five. When a membership became available in the club, an active member nominated a woman in the community. Her name was brought before the club at a meeting, and each member voted to approve or deny the nominated woman. Balloting was done originally using a button box and white and black buttons. A white button placed in the box was a vote to approve the nomination, while a black button denied membership. The club's constitution stipulated that approval be unanimous. The button box was eventually retired in favor of a secret ballot, and, later, a vocal vote.

Hoge (1880-1929)Laura Hoge (1867-1942)Cosmelia Janney Hughes (1872-1962)Cosmelia Janney (1858-1940)Caroline Pancoast (1873-1950)","The club held monthly meetings that throughout its history consisted of a roll call, discussion of club business, a program, and refreshments. The program usually consisted of one or more presentations by members. Presentations often included readings from published material or original writings, but were usually informational in nature. Topics included temperance, suffrage for women, civil rights for African Americans, foreign affairs, local history, and current events. During World War II there was a program on using sugar substitutes and members were asked to contribute sugar-shortage recipes. The membership also shared ideas about education, child rearing, and household maintenance.","Initially, membership was capped at twenty, though the club eventually expanded its membership to twenty-five. When a membership became available in the club, an active member nominated a woman in the community. Her name was brought before the club at a meeting, and each member voted to approve or deny the nominated woman. Balloting was done originally using a button box and white and black buttons. A white button placed in the box was a vote to approve the nomination, while a black button denied membership. The club's constitution stipulated that approval be unanimous. The button box was eventually retired in favor of a secret ballot, and, later, a vocal vote. New officers were elected each fall and took their posts in January..","The club worked with other organizations in the community to raise money for and awareness of issues affecting women and children. It collaborated with the Paxton Home for Children, Hamilton Book Club, Purcellville Woman's Club, and Leesburg Garden Club on various projects in the community. The Home Interest Club disbanded on 16 March 2013 as a result of low membership."],"otherfindaid_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"otherfindaid_heading_ssm":["Other Finding Aid"],"otherfindaid_tesim":["None"],"phystech_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"phystech_heading_ssm":["Technical Requirements"],"phystech_tesim":["None"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eHome Interest Club Records, 1903-2013 (M 077), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"prefercite_tesim":["Home Interest Club Records, 1903-2013 (M 077), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eElizabeth E.

Head (1822-1894) was a prominent political, business, and military\nleader of Leesburg, Virginia. The son of George Head (1783-1870) and Mary \nGover Head (1785-1823), he was one of six children from this marriage. After \nHead's mother's death in 1823, his father married Hannah J. Gover (1799-after \n1870). Both Head and his father served in the 57th Regiment of the VA Militia. In \n1848, Head married Sarah Virginia Gover (1823-before 1878), and the couple \nhad six children, four who survived to adulthood: Ann 'Nannie' Head (1849-\nafter 1880), William Head (1852 - 1892), Rosellar Head Johnson (1853 - 1885), \nand Susan Virginia Head (1855 - 1912). He was a member of the Methodist \nEpiscopal Church. Active in public life, Head served as a Justice of the Peace \nand as a member of the Leesburg Town Council beginning in 1858. He also \nestablished himself in business as a whitesmith or tinsmith, producing a number \nof goods including guns. In March 1861, he placed an advertisement in The \nMirror announcing that he had just received \"a fine lot of Colt's Revolvers which \nwill be sold at reduced prices.\"","Upon the occurrence of John Brown's raid of the government armory and arsenal\nat Harpers Ferry on 16 October 1869, Charles B. Tebbs, among many others in \nLoudoun County, participated in raising a volunteer company 'The Loudoun \nGuard' for the protection of the border. This company, ostensibly attached to the \n57th Regiment (Loudoun County), Virginia Militia, was accepted into state service \nat Leesburg on 22 April 1861, under the command of Captain Tebbs. Head \nserved as First Lieutenant. On 24 April 1861, the Loudoun Guard was ordered to \nproceed to Alexandria, Virginia, where it was officially mustered into service on \n23 May 1861, by Major George W. Brent (1821-1872) as part of the newly \norganized 17th Regiment Virginia Infantry. The next day the Loudoun Guard was \nsent to Manassas Junction and nearby Camp Pickens, where Captain Tebbs \nremained in command of the Loudoun Guard until June when he was promoted \nto Lieutenant Colonel and reassigned to the 8th Virginia Regiment. On June 29, \n1861, Head was appointed Captain of Company C of the 17th Virginia Infantry \nRegiment, one of ten companies in the newly formed unit.","As Captain, Head oversaw daily duty rosters, correspondence, and requisition\nrecords for Company C dating between 1861 and April 1862. He also managed \npayroll, funds, and supplies for the company. He was noted for his actions on 18 \nJuly 1861 at Blackburn's Ford just before the First Battle of Manassas. In his \nreport of the action Colonel Montgomery D. Course noted \"gallant conduct\" of \nHead and four other officers \"who were actively and fearlessly employed during \nthe engagement\" where \"the fire was hottest.\" After this engagement the 17th \nVirginia was stationed at Camp Harrison near Fairfax Courthouse. The Regiment \nwas reorganized at Yorktown, Virginia in April 1862 during the Siege of \nYorktown. On 23 April 1862, Head narrowly avoided being struck by an exploding \nshell whole on duty at Dam Number 4. There is no record of Head incurring an \ninjury during this incident. On 28 April 1862, Head was re-elected Captain of \nCompany C, but resigned his commission shortly after his election.","In September of 1862 he was recommended for an appointment to the \nOrdinance Department. Created by the General Assembly of Virginia on 25 \nJanuary 1861, the Virginia Ordinance Department was leased to the Confederate \nGovernment and took charge of maintaining the Richmond Armory and \nmanufacturing arms for the war effort. Head served the Ordinance Department in \nLynchburg and at the Virginia Armory in Richmond until the end of the War. In \nJanuary 1864 Head was sent to Lynchburg to investigate issues with the \nmanufacture of \"Williams Guns\", a breech loading rapid fire canon first deployed \nby the Confederacy at the Battle of Seven Pines on 31 May 1862. Head \nconfirmed the guns were defective.","Following the end of the Civil War, Head returned to Leesburg and established a \nbusiness manufacturing stoves. He continued to be active in politics, serving as \na Magistrate for the 8th District in 1868, as Mayor of Leesburg from 1869-1884 \nand as a Town Councilman for more than 40 years. Head was an active \nDemocrat, and was Chairman of the Loudoun County Democratic Committee \nfrom 1892-1894. He was regularly nominated as a candidate for the House of \nDelegates, winning elections in 1879 and 1890. In 1885 and 1886 he was \nappointed to serve as Leesburg's Postmaster by President Grover Cleveland \n(1837-1908). Head was active in the Clinton Hatcher Camp of Confederate \nVeterans and in fraternal organizations. He was a Mason and was elected as a \nGrandmaster of the Oddfellows in 1869. His death was recorded in the 1 \nFebruary 1894 edition of The Mirror with an obituary entitled \"A Valuable Citizen \nPasses Away.\" Head is buried in Union Cemetery.","Laura Christiansen, 25 July 2016","Civil War Research Collection, 1859-1865 (SC 0095);\nLoudoun County Military Records (M 015); Preservation Society of Loudoun \nCounty Cemetery Committee Records, 1990 (M 006); Leesburg Civil War \nCollection, 1861-1865, (M 075); Town of Leesburg, Virginia Records, 1813-\npresent; Clinton Hatcher Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans Collection (M \n025).","The George R.

A 2005 inventory of documents, typed \ntranscriptions of selected letters and documents in the collection, and research \nrelated to George R. Head's confederate military service accompanies the \ncollection.","Family correspondence and papers are arranged chronologically and date from \n1847-1897. Correspondence includes letters to and from family members and \nfrom Head's fellow Odd Fellows and Masonic Lodge members.

Janney (1821-1873), and Edward \nNichols (1847-1923). Family papers contain a handwritten funeral announcement \nfor Lydia Head (fl. 1775 -1832), paternal grandmother of George R. Head and \nepitaphs drafted for his wife Sarah Virginia Gover and for her father, Samuel \nGover, Jr. (1795-1875).","The bulk of the collection relates to Head's military service, first with the 57th \nRegiment, Virginia Militia, at the outset of the Civil War as 1st Lieutenant in the \nLoudoun Guard and later as Captain of Company C, of the Virginia 17th Infantry \nRegiment. Included are daily rosters, correspondence, and requisition records \nfor the Company C dating between 1861 and April 1862 when Head resigned his \ncommission. In September of 1862 he was recommended for an appointment to \nthe Ordinance Department. Correspondence and records from Head's Ordinance \nDepartment service are included in the collection. Letters relating to the Head's \ninvestigation of inherent problems with Williams Guns are of particular note. \nOther Civil War era materials include pamphlets, currency, and other ephemera \nsuch as postal covers. Artifacts in the collection also relate to Head's military \nservice. Included are a canteen, haversack, holster, belt, belt buckles, and five \nbuttons used or worn by Head during the American Civil War. The canteen is \nparticularly unique. The design is similar to other tin drum canteens issued by the \nConfederacy in 1861; however, Head's canteen features a hand-drawn image of \nthe seal of Virginia including the motto Sic Semper Tyrannis and the figures of \nVirtus and Tyrannus. Two small leather coin purses are also in the collection.","Physical characteristics and conditions affect use of this \nmaterial. Photocopying not permitted.
