Hoe Down HELPS TO FEED THE HUNGRY IN HAYMARKET

by Leigh Giza

Haymarket Hoe Down to benefit the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry Where: Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant, 15120 Washington Street, Haymarket When: Saturday, March 9th, starting at 7 p.m.

Admission: $5 per person; $10 per person for buffet. Bar drinks will be for sale.

While Prince William County in general, and Haymarket in particular, may not be as rural as they once were, there are still traces of its past if to be found. You’ve probably seen an occasional horse or stable in your travels, and certainly a hay bale or two at a farm stand you’ve visited. And railroad crossings are certainly hard to miss if you travel around the area by car. This month, there will be an event in Old Town Haymarket which gives a nod to the area’s rural roots -- the third annual Haymarket Hoe Down will take place on Saturday, March 9th at Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Haymarket. The event is a fundraiser for the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry, which collects donations of food for those in need in Haymarket and other nearby communities. While you don’t have to be a cowboy or cowgirl to attend the Hoe Down, you can have fun pretending to be one for a night while helping to raise money for an organization that helps people in need in the area.

The event is being presented by Spend The Day In Haymarket, which is the organization behind many fairs, festivals, and parades that promote and raise money for Haymarket businesses, civic, and nonprofit organizations.

Some of the other events they present during the year are the Summer Concert series, Haymarket Day, and Oktoberfest. Next month, the organization will host the Earth Day Parade and Street Fair on April 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Haymarket.

According to Kim Kennedy Ingalls, Events Director for Spend the Day in Haymarket, this particular event will be very helpful to the food pantry, which typically sees a how down continued on page 8

reduction in donations during the winter months. “They [the pantry] currently feed over 200 families in the area, and this is their slow time of year for donations,” she said.

“Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the food pantry this year” that can be used to purchase food to keep the shelves at the pantry stocked.

The third annual Haymarket Hoe Down will take place in the upper level of Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant, located at 15120 Washington Street, and in keeping with the Hoe Down theme there will be country line dancing and a country-style food buffet, as well as a deejay, games and vendor tables. The Hoe Down will begin at 7 p.m., and there will be plenty to eat and drink, including bar beverages.

If you choose to wear a cowboy hat or boots -- which is very much encouraged, by the way -- Elisabeth Bryson Photography will be taking pictures of attendees for ten dollars each so you can get a souvenir photo of yourself all decked out in your hoedown attire to share with your friends. The ten dollar fee will be donated to the Food Pantry. The Fauquier Bank, which has sponsored countless Haymarket events, will be the title sponsor for this year’s Hoe Down.

The Haymarket Regional Food Pantry, whose motto is H.O.P.E. for Helping Other People Eat, is located at 14740 Washington Street in downtown Haymarket, in a former private home the pantry leases from the town of Haymarket.

The pantry’s original location was a small food closet at St. Paul’s Anglican Church (now St. Paul’s Episcopal Church), and it moved to its current location when it outgrew that space with help from St. Katherine Drexel Catholic Mission and the Town of Haymarket. Ongoing support is also provided by individuals and businesses in the area. The

pantry is an ecumenical and community-based ministry staffed by volunteers to help provide food to residents in need in Haymarket and nearby areas.

“We have clients who come from Manassas, Warrenton, and [even] Reston,” said Pam Stutz, former Haymarket mayor and executive director of the pantry.

All the staff at the pantry works there on a volunteer basis, and there are nearly 400 people who currently volunteer their time, but there is always room for new, motivated volunteers who can help out with the myriad tasks involved in collecting, sorting, and distributing food to those in need. Current volunteers include children over the age of 10, middle and high school students who donate their time to fulfill service hours at their schools, and, of course, adults of all ages. The mission of the pantry is to eliminate hunger, and they do not turn anyone away who is in need of food. The pantry serves over 350 people per week, and approximately 70 percent of them are children and senior citizens. It is open to receive clients and distribute food Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.

If you are unable to attend the Hoe Down but you would like to donate food items to the pantry, you may do so on Mondays from 10:00 a.m. until noon, Wednesdays from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m., and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. until noon.

The pantry also collects donations at local grocery stores.

Monetary donations to the pantry can be made by check or online at www.haymarketfoodpantry.org.

Fauquier Health Home Care Shop Offers Comfort for Cancer Patients – and More The Fauquier Health Home Care Shop, located at Fauquier Hospital, offers the comfort that comes with understanding the unique needs of those who are recovering from illness. Along with the fear and pain that comes with a cancer diagnosis and treatment plan, come dozens of practical problems. “What can I do about losing my hair? I don’t want to be conspicuous wherever I go.”

“During treatment, I can’t seem to stay warm.” “My muscles are so sore and uncomfortable. How can I sit in one place for hours while I have my treatment?”

Carol Vogel, selling specialist with the Home Care Shop, says that the venue provides solutions for all these worries.

The shop sells special hats designed to come down a little further in front, for the comfort of those who have temporarily lost their hair. Clever “hair for hats” can be purchased as well; they fit inside the hat and provide an attractive, natural-looking fringe. Called Hair Halos and Fringes, they come in several shades.

Extra-warm scarves, wraps and socks will help keep patients warm while their systems are compromised, and specially designed cushions provide support for sore muscles.

Another item that patients and their families have found useful is a booklet

called “The Care Organizer,” that helps keep track of medical results, appointments, prescriptions, and all the other overwhelming details, from diagnosis through treatment. Beth Foddrell, whose mother was a cancer patient, said, “We had one of these when Mom was ill, and it was fantastic.

Everything we needed was in one place and organized, and no matter who was taking her to a particular appointment, they had all the information at their fingertips. It was a tremendous help.”

socks. The Home Care Shop offers a large selection, including those with a pretty bit of lace at the top. It can be a bit tricky to find the right size for compression socks; the Home Care Shop is the only place locally to offer fittings.

Wound care patients will find the bandages and other specialty items they need. And for those with orthopedic injuries, the Home Care Shop provides a full range of braces and supports, as well as canes, walkers and transport wheelchairs. And just for fun, CastMedic accessories are available as well. These are colorful, pretty pieces that are used to brighten up a boot cast. Who says a cast has to be boring?

Mothers-to-be can purchase belts that help support their growing bellies, and can rent hospital-quality breast pumps so they can provide breast milk for their babies when they are away from home. Pumps rent for $55 a month or $25 a week. Dr. Wesley Hodgson, OB/ GYN, is delighted that breast pumps are a part of the Home Care Shop inventory. “Supporting breastfeeding is an important responsibility for all of us for so many reasons, so I’m very pleased we can offer this resource right in the hospital to all of our new moms.”

The Home Care Shop also sells Biofreeze, the popular topical pain reliever. It comes in a gel or a spray, and is especially effective for arthritis, back pain and sore muscles and joints.

Patients with edema, phlebitis and thrombosis, as well as other venous disorders, often need compression

For older residents, bed and bathroom safety items can make life easier and more comfortable. The Home Care Shop sells guard rails, elevated toilet seats, bedside commodes and shower seats.

The Home Care Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. The shop does not accept insurance.

Specially designed hair replacements called Hair Halos and Fringe fit under a hat.

CastMedic accessories dress up an inflatable cast.

It has been a while since we walked around my land together. It is a beautiful sunny day and I want to see if the Witch Hazels are blooming down by the creek. Of course I have to tour the perennial border first. Even though there is nothing blooming it is still interesting.

The Crapemyrtles are sculptured sentries on either side of the arbor entrance. The Siberian Iris has bright copper leaves; the Lavenders and Sages are silver gray. The bright pink bark on the Coralbark Maple is outrageous and wonderful. Some of the Roses have dark red stems which contrast nicely with the puffy evergreen Broom. And there they are – new, green shoots of early Daffodils already six inches tall.

On the way down the hill I pass the bright red berries on the Nandina and the dark green glossy leaves of the Magnolia. Further on, with no leaves on the trees, it is easy to see the five clumps of Mistletoe safely out of my reach - up higher than I will ever climb to get some.

Red Twig Dogwoods are glowing in front of dark green Junipers. I watch the light sparkle on the trickle of water in the streambed as I cross the bridge to see more Daffodil shoots, an intrepid bed of Euphorbia that is always green and the amazing, burgundy leaves of the Leucothoe.

There is a Fern that is still green and the crazy twisted architecture of the Harry Lauder Walking Stick. I can count on the Hellebores having buds and flowers and they do not disappoint me. Even the menacing, red, arching stems of Wild Raspberry look good today.

As I get closer to Chestnut Lick the piles of twigs and leaves on the banks are evidence that it had overflowed from the recent heavy rains we have had. I freeze my hands unplugging the drainage pipe under the bridge for the mowers. The Witch Hazels are just starting to bloom with brilliant yellow flowers. The amount is sparse and I will have to try to find out why but they are blooming and the day is beautiful. I have stretched my legs, filled my lungs with fresh air and enjoyed the winter garden. I encourage all of you to do the same.

Push Yourself...

“The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.”

– Roger Bannister, runner - and first to run the mile in less than 4 minutes

A great quote from a guy who knows a bit about pain and the rewards of battling through it.

When we talk about “pain” we’re not just talking about physical pain, the kind you experience when performing one last heart-throbbing Burpee, or muscle-wrenching Turkish Get-Up, but the pain we all experience in making personal decisions that can either push us closer or further away from our health and fitness goals.

No matter what area of life we’re talking about, it all comes down to the choices we make, and the “pain” we feel from the consequences we face as a result of those decisions, whether how big or how small they may seem at the time.

Gym

Rest

Cardio

Diet

Lift

For example, let’s suppose the only time you can squeeze in an hour of exercise is first thing in the morning. You know how important it is to exercise consistently, and you know how important it is to get a sufficient amount of sleep each night, so why is it that most nights you can never seem to stop surfing the net, or pull yourself away from watching hours of mindless TV? When the alarm clock goes off at zero dark thirty, are you going to have the willpower, the discipline, and the energy to push yourself out of the rack, or are you going to hit the snooze button and blow off yet another workout?

On days you do make it to the gym will you be disciplined to make sure you have a good recovery meal after your workout, so that your body can properly recuperate, repair, and grow, or are you going to just settle for a coffee and bagel instead? On days that you miss your regularly scheduled workouts, will you have the willpower and discipline to make sure you get in a workout at home?

When it comes to your nutrition, are you going to have the discipline to prepare healthy meals in advance, or will you continue to put yourself in bad situations where healthy food choices are seldom an option? Will you have the discipline to pack a healthy lunch, or will you choose to eat junk, or even skip meals altogether? When eating out with friends and family, will you go along with the crowd and gobble down the nachos and wings, or order a healthy meal instead?

These are all examples of choices we sometimes have to

make, which in many cases can be just as “painful”, or even more so, than completing multiple sets of eight-count bodybuilders or a 100-yard bear crawl with dumbbells! Sure I know it’s tough, as my wife will tell you, I can occasionally eat an entire pizza myself!

Bottom line, unless you’re satisfied with what you already have, you’ve got to push harder and expect more from yourself than you do right now. Demonstrating the discipline and building the habit of exercise, as well as practicing good nutrition is NOT easy, which is the very reason why we live in a country which has the most fitness and exercise equipment world, yet also has the most obese population in the world (by far). It is also why so many Americans suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and an array of other health problems, most of which are largely preventable. Yes, that’s right, preventable!

If staying in shape were easy, everyone would be walking around with fitness model bodies, but we certainly know that’s not the case. Fact is, staying in shape and eating right can be downright painful, and in more ways than one, but in my opinion, a little pain here and there sure beats being overweight, out-of-shape, and dependent on pills.

the real life Dressing Oversized

decorator or Irregular Windows

By Paola McDonald

In this area its hard not to notice the beautiful, oversized and irregular sized windows in many of the homes. These windows are absolutely beautiful and they allow so much natural light to enter the space. They can be extremely dramatic and can be the focal point of very a beautifully designed room. Without a doubt local builders know that these windows draw new homeowners to purchase their homes. They are remarkable and exciting.

Until you move in and realize that you now have to dress them. I’ve come across many a client in this area that is simply overwhelmed when it comes to how to address the same windows that helped to sell them their home. Some have issues with too much direct sunlight, or lack of privacy and others just are not sure how to dress the windows so that they work with their décor and do not look overwhelming or out of place. For me these types of projects are exciting. It’s amazing how many wonderful, beautiful, unique, exciting and also functional ways you can address these beautiful windows to make a real design statement in your home. When they see all of the wonderful possibilities these clients fall immediately back in love with their windows once again.

Dressing these windows so that they are both beautiful and functional does not have to be that difficult. With a little careful planning, creativity and ingenuity, you can create a beautiful window treatment that will be the highlight of your room.

The first step to getting your window treatments right is first figuring out what function you need your window treatments to serve. If privacy is an issue, you need to understand what types of window treatments will provide the type of privacy you need. If light control or energy efficiency are an issue, again, knowing the different types of treatments available to address these concerns will help you narrow down your choices. Perhaps aesthetics is your primary concern. You will need to know what treatments will create the best look for your type of window and design style. Here is a basic breakdown of the types of window treatments available and what their main functions are: • Drapes and curtains are usually made from fabric. They can be designed with different headers, such as pleats, tab tops, rod pockets, etc. and can be hung from rings and/or drapery pins on curtain rods, medallions, traversing (pulley) rods or other creative hanging systems. They can vary in style from modern to traditional, contemporary to eclectic depending on the header you choose and the fabric, color, pattern and style. They can be dressed up with valances, swags, cornices or scarves at the top of the treatment. Drapes and curtains 14

can be functional and provide privacy or transparency or could be purely for aesthetics.

• Blinds can be horizontal or vertical and can be made from various materials such as metal, wood, or synthetic materials. They can vary in color and style and can be embellished with colorful and decorative banding. They come with privacy, energy efficient and blackout lining.

They can be extremely versatile. Some styles can be made as top down/bottom up, which can help with both privacy and light control. Others can come with remote controls, which makes them useful for windows that are hard to reach.

• Shades can come in fabric, wood, natural fibers, and synthetic fibers. Like blinds they can be modern and clean or they can be designed with slouches and swags for a more traditional design. They too can be sheer for allowing light, privacy lined or blackout for sleeping in. They can have additional embellishments like top down bottom up and remote controls, which could make them very useful for larger, higher to reach windows.

• Shutters can be very beautiful. They can be made from wood or synthetic materials mixed with wood. They can provide light control and privacy. They can finish off the look of a country, cottage or even mission style or more contemporary room nicely.

Prices on window treatments can run the gamut and you should really consider what you ultimate budget is before you start to design your treatments. You should also strongly consider your window treatments as an investment in your home. They help protect your privacy and can help reduce energy bills. They can also help to protect your furniture, floor, artwork and carpeting.

Sometimes spending a little more on these now can help you save you a lot of money later.

As with most things, you get what you pay for. If your budget is tight, there are off the shelf options available at your local home improvements stores that can serve the purpose you need and that can be within your budget. Some even offer some customization in the form of in store size adjustment to some of their shade and blind options. Consider however, that you may end up replacing these treatments sooner rather than later, particularly if they are used often and if you have children and pets.

When it comes to fabric treatments, several local retailers offers off the shelf draperies and some top treatments, mainly valances.

They tend to be less expensive and have a decent selection as far as color, pattern and texture. You are often limited on size options and if your windows aren’t what are considered standard you may not find something that is suitable for your needs. One trick I’ve often used is to purchase off the shelf draperies and have them hemmed to the needed length. I also hang them from drapery pins and rings whenever possible for a “custom” look. This is an easy way to get an “expensive” look in a budget friendly way.

Custom window treatments are a great option if you plan to stay in your home for a long time and if you have irregular windows that won’t take easily to off the shelf treatments. If you need custom treatments for your irregular windows there are some budget friendly ways to design them to meet your and your wallet’s needs. Consider the fabric you choose. Many manufacturers are putting out faux fabrics (like silks) that look like the real thing but cost about a third of the price. Your window treatment designer should be able to help you to create a design that is within your budget and that meets your functional and aesthetic needs.

As always, consider your lifestyle when choosing your window treatments. If you have young children and pets, you may opt for more durable fabrics that can withstand mac-and-cheese covered hands or muddy paws. If you are putting treatments on or near a high traffic are, again, consider your fabric choices.

Your window treatment designer should help you select fabrics that will be suitable for your lifestyle. drapes continued on page 18

A large bow window in the kitchen posed a challenge. We treated it as one window with a simple, creative custom swag valance.

So you know what function your treatments need to have, the next step is deciding how you want your window treatments to look. Look around your home and decide what your design style is. If you are more traditional, you will want to consider draperies and swag valances as options along with any functional treatments you may have selected. If your style is more contemporary, simple panels over roller or solar shades may be your cup of tea.

A simple way that I coordinate patterns for window treatments is by finding color commonality. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to mix and match patterns. For example, a beautiful floral that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve selected for accent pillows in a space may have a wonderful blue, a muted green and a wonderful magenta that I would like to highlight. I may select a wonderful plaid, stripe or geometric that has one, two or all three of these colors. This will guarantee that my fabrics work together, coordinate with each other and create texture in my design.

The most important thing to consider, regardless of your design style is scale. You will want to create treatments that fit the scale of the room and the windows. Many homeowners with two story windows make the mistake of only dressing the lower windows. Although if done correctly this can look nice, ideally you will want to address both levels of windows. If you have a more traditional style, formal swag valances over each of the windows will create drama and interest. You can also add drapery panels to the lower windows underneath the swag for function and added aesthetic. Floor to ceiling drapery panels

with swags at the top will also create a very dramatic, formal look. If you have multiple windows united in one area, consider treating them as one large window. Perhaps panels on each end with a beautiful, dramatic valance across all of the windows can add the drama you need.

If you have a more contemporary design style, simple floor to ceiling grommet top or pinch pleated panels on either side of each set of windows can create drama and elegance. Sheers draped dramatically over the higher windows and pulled back with a tie-back can create drama in a more casual room and can also take the edge off of a brightly sunlit room. You can also add pattern and texture to a more modern design with functional and attractive roller or roman shades. They can come in a multitude of fabric options, particularly if you are ordering the custom. They are sleek and modern but can also be very attractive.

The Internet can be a great resource for creative two-story and irregular window treatment ideas and inspiration. A simple Google search for two-story or irregular window treatment ideas will come back with hundreds of pictures of creative solutions for irregular and oversized windows.

When it comes to window treatments, we are only limited by our own imaginations. Creativity is the key to creating beautiful, dramatic window treatments the fit the scale of our rooms and that coordinate with our design styles.

HAYMARKET GAINESVILLE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

The Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Businesses On January 1, 2014, the individual mandate provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will go into effect. Along with the mandate, the law requires certain employers to offer employees affordable healthcare insurance. Employers, in attempting to comply with the law, must answer three main inquires. First, whether they are exempt from the coverage mandate requirements. Second, if not, what responsibilities the law places on them and the consequences of not complying with the law. Finally, what strategic response they should take to minimize the effects of the law on their business.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires all employers with 50 or more full-time employees to provide affordable healthcare insurance to those employees. The law defines a full-time employee as any employee who averages 30 hours a week or more for any onemonth period. Any business with more than 50 full-time employees must offer those employees affordable healthcare insurance or pay a $2,000 per employee tax for not-offering insurance.

However, the law not only taxes business that choose not to offer healthcare insurance, but also businesses that do not offer the correct type of coverage plans as determined by the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In order for a business to offer an “affordable” plan, the insurance coverage must pay for 60% of covered “health expenses”, as defined by the Department, for a typical population and not cost the employee more than 9.5% of the employee’s family income.

If the employer offered coverage does not meet either of these standards, the employee can choose to buy coverage in a state healthcare exchange and

receive a premium tax credit. If any employee receives a premium tax credit, the employer must pay a tax of $3,000 annually for each full-time employee receiving a tax credit, up to a maximum of $2,000 multiplied by the number of full-time employees minus 30 employees.

The law does not require employers with less than 50 employees to offer affordable healthcare insurance.

Instead, the law incentivizes businesses to offer cover through a two-year tax credit. In order for a business to receive the tax credit, which can be as high as 50% of the healthcare insurance plan premium, an employer must not employ more than 10 full-time employees, cannot have an average payroll of more than $50,000, and must have a qualified arrangement where the employer pays at least 50% of the employee’s premium costs. In the case where an employer has more than 10 employees or more than a $50,000 average payroll, the 50% premium tax credit is reduced by 3.35% per additional employee and 2% per additional $1,000 of average payroll above $50,000. (Note: Business owners and owner-employees are not eligible for the tax credit but may be eligible for a tax deduction.)

Because of the imminent changes to healthcare law, employers should implement a strategy for lessening the effects of the law on their business.

Some of the strategies businesses should explore include reclassification of employees as independent contractors according to the IRS rules, reduction in workforce, workforce hours, and average salaries to remain exempt or take advantage of tax credits offered, and a cost-analysis of non-compliance verses healthcare and administrative costs required to comply.

History

Snow Hill

a treasure lost to the passage of time Barely a trace remains of what was once a large, busy farm

By John T. Toler

For over 200 years, the house known as “Snow Hill” stood on a ridge north of Haymarket, facing west toward the Bull Run Mountains.

It was surrounded by 600 acres of farmland and woods, bordered by the Old Carolina Road (U.S. 15) on the west, Sudley Road (Route 234) on the north, and High Ridge Road on the east. The southern border of the property was the land once owned by James S. Long, which in recent years became James S. Long Park.

During the 1980s and 1990s, most of the original Snow Hill property was subdivided into large-lot homesites, including the Chimneys and Chimneys West developments. Current owners of the property where the house once stood are Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Enix. Their house was built partially on the site of the old house, but faces east toward High Ridge Road, rather than the mountains.

All that remains of the old Snow Hill farmstead are the large stone gateway that marked the path to the long-gone barn, and traces of the old farm road that led to U.S. 15.

Early days of Snow Hill Originally part of Robert “King” Carter’s vast Bull Run Tract, the property was given to his grandson, Lewis Burwell (1711-1756), of Gloucester, Va., in 1725, when he was a 14-year-old schoolboy. King Carter was one of the wealthiest men in the Colonies, and had been appointed Lewis’ guardian, following the death of his father.

Apparently King Carter and his grandson were close; in a letter sent to Lewis in August 1727 while he was at Eton, he chastised the young man after he asked 22

for – and was given – another year to complete prep school. As shown in this letter in The Diary, Correspondence and Letters of Robert ‘King’ Carter, 1701-1732, transcribed by Edmund Berkeley Jr.: “I pray God grant that you leave your follys and take to your learning to better purpose than you have hitherto done.

Your father was a worthy good man and Sent you to England on purpose to make you a Scholar and a Gentleman… I must tell you in all the Letters I have recd from all your friends in England, no one Speaks a word in your praise, which is a very great trouble to all your relations here.”

Apparently, Lewis listened to his grandfather’s advice, and started taking his studies seriously. He subsequently matriculated at Cambridge University in London, and was starting to pursue a law degree a law degree when King Carter died in 1733.

Lewis returned to Virginia, where he served in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1743-42, and was appointed to the Governor’s Council in 1743 by King George II. As the senior member of the council, in 1750 he was appointed Acting Governor, but stepped down after one year due to ill health.

The vast properties in Prince William County remained in the Burwell family until 1763, when Burwell’s son, also named Lewis (1737-1779), sold 1,064 acres to Mathew Whiting (1740-1800). Sometime before 1770, Whiting built the main house on the property, which he named Snow Hill.

The main house was described as a large, and nearly square, two-story frame structure. It had 12 rooms above the basement, which had three more rooms

and a fireplace used for cooking. The home had a stone foundation and a hip roof, which was rare in Prince William County in those days. There were two brick Flemish-bond chimneys on the southern side of the house, and one on the northern side.

Entry to the main floor was through a large center hallway, and the rooms on both floors had 11’ 9” ceilings. Interior trim included wainscoting, chair rail and paneling, much of which was cut from trees on the property. Behind the main house was a separate kitchen, well house, meat house and barn.

According to local legend, Snow Hill was built over a sacred Indian burial ground, and when an Indian chief came on the site to protest, he was killed and buried under a large poplar tree in the yard. Afterward, people claimed that the house – especially the cellar – was haunted by the ghost of the chief.

Following the death of Mathew Whiting, Snow Hill passed to his widow, Elizabeth Toy Whiting (d.1811), and upon her death, to his nephew, Mathew Whiting Brooke (1778-1816). About 1814, Mathew Brooke sold the property to his father, Edmund Brooke, one of the original trustees of the Town of Haymarket. snow hill continued on page 24 Haymarket Lifestyle

The Stuarts of Snow Hill In 1822, Edward Brooke II conveyed Snow Hill to William Hebb, who held onto Snow Hill briefly before selling it to Gen. Philip Stuart (1760-1830).

As a young officer in the Revolutionary War hero, Gen. Stuart was wounded at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, S.C., in September 1781. After the war he lived at “Eutaw Forest” in Charles County, Md., and later on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. It is unlikely that Gen. Stuart ever lived at Snow Hill, but he apparently bought the property because it bordered “Lawnvale,” a 500-acre estate east of Snow Hill owned by his daughter, Mary Frances Adaline Thornton and her husband, Stuart Gibbons Thornton. Stuart Thornton was the son of Gen. Stuart’s sister Martha, making the couple first cousins.

A similar case of cousins marrying in the family involved Gen. Stuart’s son, Dr. Charles Bayne Stuart, who married Stuart G. Thornton’s sister, Maria, in the 1820s. Early in their marriage, Charles and Maria lived on a 700-acre property near “Montpelier,” the Thornton family home in Culpeper County (in the part that later became Rappahannock County.)

Following Gen. Stuart’s death, Charles and Maria sold their property in Culpeper County, and in 1833, Charles bought out his siblings’ interests in Snow Hill, becoming the sole owner.

After arriving in Prince William County with his wife and six children, Charles 24

resumed his medical practice. Among his patients were those who had been treated by his predecessor, Dr. Gustavus R. A. Brown, who by coincidence had sold Lawnvale to Stuart and Mary Frances Thornton in 1818.

Although a highly respected physician, Charles never accumulated much wealth, nor left behind an extensive recorded legacy.

After moving to Snow Hill, a seventh child, Isabella Graham, was born on May 9, 1834. It was a difficult pregnancy, and Maria was weakened by the birth. Isabella survived, but Maria died on May 26, 1834.

Charles was devastated by the loss, and distressed by the prospect of raising his children without Maria. As recorded in “Snow Hill,” by Martha Walde Carter: “I am confident it is not possible for human nature to enjoy more happiness than we did…whatever new scenes and changes I may be destined to experience in this life, my heart will ever fondly cling to early recollections, and to my absent Maria, and I can never cease while the lamp flickers in the socket to regret our untimely separation.

“The season has now approached when preparations should be made to clothe my little ones… the dear little plants which were so entwined around her heart. She prayed often and fervently that she might not survive me, and God in his mercy has heard and answered her prayer, and I believe if she cherished a fault on earth, it was loving me too well. When I reflect on the double duty which now devolves on me, and I feel my incapacity to sustain even that which formerly was mine, my

heart sickens and sinks within me.”

After four years as a single parent, Charles married Mrs. Sigismunde Foote Ashton, a wealthy widow in her mid-40s from King George County, Va. She was a capable, accomplished woman, but as so often happens, her seven stepchildren resented her, especially when she tried to bring order to the household after years of chaos.

Members of the families at Snow Hill and Lawnvale attended St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Haymarket, and their names appear in the Parish registers of baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials. It is recalled that on cold winter mornings, Dr. Charles Stuart would ride his horse to the church hours before the services, and build fires in the two woodstoves at the rear of the building so that it would be warm when the congregation arrived.

The decade of the 1850s saw many comings-and-goings at Snow Hill, with son William becoming a doctor and moving to Mississippi, and two of the daughters marrying. Frances, known as “Fanny,” married Frank Lewis of nearby Stepney, and Mary was betrothed to George Keyth Stuart. Sadly, daughter Maria Thornton Stuart – her mother’s namesake – died unmarried in 1855 at the age of 24.

The 1860s brought the Civil War, and the families connected with Snow Hill suffered loss and separation. Son Philip Stuart was killed Aug. 12, 1862 while fighting in Galveston, Texas.

Son-in-law Frank Lewis went off to war, leaving his wife Fanny and three small snow hill continued on page 26 Haymarket Lifestyle

children with family at Snow Hill. He survived the conflict, and returned to Haymarket to rebuild their home.

Patriarch Dr. Charles Stuart remained at Snow Hill throughout the war and the difficult times that followed. He died on Feb. 9, 1875, attended by his wife Sigismunde, Fanny and Frank Lewis. He was buried next to his beloved Maria in the cemetery at Snow Hill.

Dr. Stuart died without a will, causing the property to be sold to pay his debts, and what remained was to be divided by his heirs. Sadly, this meant that his widow, children and grandchildren living at Snow Hill would be displaced.

Frank Lewis was appointed administrator, and almost immediately Sigismunde Stuart brought suit against the other heirs.

The case was in Chancery for years. It was finally acquired by Fairfax Lynn and passed to Henry Lynn.

“A most unfortunate but fashionable remodeling was done by Henry Lynn, a former owner, when the front porch was added,” according to a survey of Snow Hill done for the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission in May 1973. “The window sash was updated, the original mantels removed and new ones applied to the over panel units, and the original stair taken out of the room behind the living room and located in the hall room, now the entrance hall.”

The Lathams acquire Snow Hill With onset of the Great Depression, Mr. Lynn suffered financial difficulties and was forced to sell Snow Hill, which at

that point was about 600 acres. Thomas Otis Latham, whose family had lived at nearby Greenville for over 100 years, bought it in 1930. Combining the two properties, the Lathams owned over 900 acres; Otis Latham and his sons Hamilton and Carroll farmed the land for nearly 30 years.

Mrs. Lynn Latham Kline, the daughter of Hamilton and Viola Latham, lived at Snow Hill from 1938, at age one month, until she married and left home in 1961.

Retired after teaching in the Prince William County Public Schools for more than 30 years, she now lives in Burr Hill, Va. Mrs. Kline remembers the house at Snow Hill being quite large, with a center hallway running from the front to the back. It didn’t have central heat, so the house was heated by coal stoves in the rooms. She recalls some of the fine interior touches, especially the wainscoting on the walls.

Her earliest memories were of the workhorses that were used before the Lathams bought tractors, and the half-mile long driveway she walked down each day to catch the school bus.

She also remembers several outbuildings, including two tenant houses, an icehouse, a meat house, a well house with a pump, and a frame barn with a stone foundation.

There was also what was left of an outside kitchen. As a child, she remembers the “haunted” basement, into which she rarely ventured, and that some of the farm workers refused to even go near.

During the time Mrs. Kline lived at Snow Hill, it was a working farm, where hogs,

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Enix occupies the approximate site of the old house at Snow Hill. Mrs. Enix (right) and her neighbors Dr. and Mrs. Steele Lipe, are shown at the stone gateway that led to the barn.

sheep, cattle and chickens were raised. As a youngster, one of her jobs was collecting the eggs that were sold to a hatchery.

“I not only did the eggs, I also got all orphaned lambs. If I could save them with whiskey and sugar in milk, they were mine,” Mrs. Kline said recently. “Many times, I was feeding six to eight lambs with bottles, twice a day. The money I received from the lambs and eggs paid for me to go to college.”

Work on the farm was never easy. By the early 1950s, her father was disabled, and her uncle Carroll, who was living close to his work in the D.C. area, came home to help run the farm. Carroll and his family lived at Greenville, and Hamilton and his family at Snow Hill.

After Otis Latham died in 1957, it became impossible for Carroll to run both farms, so he gave up trying to continue the operation at Snow Hill. “The cattle business was very bad in the 1960s, so after camping with a square dance group, I decided that we had a nice in the back 46 acres (on Greenville) for trailers to park,” wrote Carroll Latham in a personal history of Greenville (1978). “In the fall of 1966, I went to my county supervisors for a permit to open a campground.” The permit was approved, and Greenville Campground opened the following year.

Snow Hill is lost The Lathams sold Snow Hill in 1963, and Hamilton and Viola Latham moved to Warrenton. The Miller & Long Co., Inc., a development company headquartered in Bethesda, Md., acquired the farm, but plans to develop the land fell through. The house was left vacant and neglected.

By the early 1970s, Miller and Long also owned two other historic properties near Haymarket: Waverley and Mill Park, on the opposite side of the Old Carolina Road.

Unfortunately, both Waverley and Snow Hill would suffer the same sad fate: becoming “crash pads” for squatters, vandalized and eventually destroyed by fire. Waverley was lost on Nov. 7, 1973, and Snow Hill burned on Nov. 3, 1974.

Fortunately, Mill Park has survived, and is part of Dominion Valley.

fire described Snow Hill as “…almost totally destroyed, but still standing.

Mantels and woodwork that survived the fire have been either stolen or vandalized.

The first floor caved in on the basement, and the second floor caved in on the staircase and first floor.”

After the fire, the property was purchased by the Fayland Co. of Manassas, and later developed. Part was divided into 10-plus acre residential lots, and fine homes were built where livestock once roamed, and crops harvested.

Final resting place As research has shown, the final resting place for generations of Snow Hill residents, including Dr. Stuart and his wife Maria, has been lost as well.

The family cemetery was located about 1/8 mile southeast of the main house. “War records show that two Revolutionary War soldiers were buried there – Lt. Mathew Whiting, who died on Nov. 19, 1810, and Col. Edmund Brooke, who died on June 2, 1835,” wrote Martha Walde Carter. “Many Stuarts and Thorntons … were buried at Snow Hill, but time and neglect have obliterated all trace of memorials which once may have marked their graves.”

A survey of the cemetery done in 1937 by Susan Rogers Morton noted:

Aerial photo taken in 1937 shows a portion of the 600-acre Snow Hill property, then owned by the Latham families. At the north was Sudley Road, to the west Old Carolina Road, and to the south, present-day James Long Park. Credit: Prince William County Online GIS.

“There is an unusually large graveyard on the place to the south, possibly 1/8 mile to the south. This is located in what was once a beautiful locust grove, but the trees are badly scarred and broken. It is very hard to tell much from the stones, which are broken and misplaced, and as cattle were allowed to stay in there in years past, it is in bad condition.”

Mrs. Morton could only find three gravestones with inscriptions that she could read: “Mary Stuart, Born December 4, 1822, Died February 12, 1875, Asleep in Jesus; Helen A. Streshley, Born May 16, 1841, Died August 7, 1877; and In Memory of W. E. Carter, Died December 24, 1874, Age 17 years.”

“There is one stone, evidently very old, crudely cut in a semi-triple arch, with no inscription but two crosses potent at each end,” she added.

On Nov. 3, 1974, the main house at Snow Hill was destroyed by fire. What was still standing was later demolished, and the site filled-in. The family cemetery nearby was also lost. Courtesy of RELIC.

Ron Turner did a newer survey of the Snow Hill cemetery in 2002 as part of a project to inventory all of the cemeteries in Prince William County. At the time, “All the markers are missing or buried,

except one,” he wrote. “This cemetery was found in the front yard after the house was built. One stones and a few depressions were visible in 2002.”

Mr. and Mrs. Enix moved into their home on old Snow Hill in 1992. Mrs. Enix was aware of the legend surrounding the dead Indian chief, and thinking he might still haunt the site, made peace with him. She hasn’t seen any ghosts at her home, but recalls an incident when her four-yearold granddaughter saw the specter of two young Indian children walking in the yard.

“She was not scared, but happy to see them,” recalled Mrs. Enix. “When I asked her if she had ever seen them before, she told me that she had watched them follow me and my husband around the yard.”

Mrs. Enix notes that most of her neighbors are long-time residents. Unified by the past, she and others, including Dr. and Mrs. Steele Lipe, are interested in the history of Snow Hill, which they share with others. And like the families that lived on Snow Hill many years before them, they enjoy the peaceful setting, the views toward the mountains from the ridge, and the spectacular sunsets.

Haymarket Town & Country Garden Club

By Mary Ellen Colandene

The Haymarket Town & Country Garden Club was formed on March 17, 1970 and federated on May 2, 1972. It is now a member of District III of the National Capitol Area Clubs, Inc. of the Central Atlantic Region and the Prince William Area Council of Garden Clubs.

Early meetings were held in members’ homes. As the membership grew the club has met at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Haymarket, the Haymarket Baptist Church and the Sudley Methodist Church. The club now meets at the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad on the second Tuesday of each month at 10 am.

The meeting includes a speaker who has an expertise in a phase of gardening followed by a refreshment social.

The club’s theme this year is “Grow and Learn Together.” The objectives include learning gardening techniques to improve the grounds of members and the community, promoting good horticulture and learning, practicing and promoting the principles of conservation. The goals are also to study and develop skills in flower design and horticulture by participating in and sponsoring flower shows. The club meets these goals by inviting speakers with strong education and practical backgrounds in their field to share their knowledge.

Members are encouraged to display horticulture specimens at flower shows providing a means to learn the diversity of plants, trees and shrubs in the area.

Speakers have covered the topic of deer resistant horticulture, methods to deter deer, the art of when and how to prune trees and shrubs in the yard, the identity and treatment of pest problems and the art of bee keeping. Jane Huckins, club president, calling on her decades of experience in garden clubs, will do a program in March that will teach the skills necessary to create winning designs for the flower show in April.

Club members have gone on field trips which have expanded their knowledge.

One trip included a lunch and tour at the State Arboretum on Route 50.

The herb garden and the variety of boxwoods were of great interest. Some members traveled to Longwood Gardens for a display of seasonal flowers.

Another trip was to visit the National Cathedral and grounds for the Flower Mart. Years earlier members took the train from Broad Run to Union Station and walked over to visit the Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C. Members enjoyed both the plants growing under artificial conditions inside the building and those in the outside gardens.

The club has several projects during the year. One of the most rewarding is a Garden Therapy Program at the Gainesville Rehabilitation Facility.

Twice a year, near Thanksgiving and Easter, members gather to help residents make floral baskets with fresh flowers and greens. Members and the club provide the baskets, liners and floral material for more than twenty baskets. It is hard to tell who gets more enjoyment and satisfaction from the activity, the residents or the members.

A second project is the maintenance of the garden at the rear entrance to the social hall of the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad; the project was started under the design and guidance of Barbara Kluge. Several club members took part in laying a slate patio early in the construction of the garden.

Members still remember the bemused but admiring glances of the men who walked past delivering tables to the hall as the women handled the heavy slate. Planting, weeding, mulching and watering of shrubs, trees and perennial and annual plants are done throughout the year by club volunteers. A garden at the Gainesville mini-library at Long Park is also maintained. In past years club members have planted a Bradford pear and a dogwood tree and several perennials at the site.

This year officers are President, Jane Huckins; Vice President, Pam Lindholm; Secretary, Sherry Baer; Corresponding Secretary, Dawn Randall; Treasurer, Wanda Born; and Assistant Treasure,r Louise Miscio. There are 12 additional active committees. The 37 members come from Haymarket, Gainesville, Bristow, Catharpin, Centreville, Fairfax and Warrenton. Some have been members for 36 years or more. There have been 22 women who have served as president since 1970.

Haymarket Lifestyle

Means committee, was the originator of the custom which everyone has supported with enthusiasm.

In May the club holds the annual installation luncheon when awards are distributed for winners of high points in design and horticulture in flower shows held throughout the year. The luncheons have been held at Evergreen Country Club, Heritage Hunt Country Club, the Airlie Conference Center in Warrenton, and most uniquely this year in Pam Lindholm’s horse/hay barn. The bucolic setting with guitar strumming entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by members, guests and Thea McGinnis of The Rock Spring Garden Club who

installed the new officers. The setting will not be topped any time soon.

The club started a new tradition three years ago of having three festively decorated homes of members open for a Christmas holiday tour. The tour ends at the last house with a tea of scones, clotted cream, open faced sandwiches and other tasty delicacies. Members have time to mingle and admire the special treasures and ornaments on display at the three houses while enjoying the spirit of the holiday season.

Judy Tweel, a member of the Ways and

The club’s newest venture is a spring flower show which will be held on April 9th at the Evergreen Fire Department and Rescue Squad. The event is being chaired by Ronnie Levay and titled “The Language of Flowers” taken from the book “The Language of Flowers” by Vanessa Dafenbaugh . There will be 20 floral designs divided into five classes: “Unconscious Beauty,” “You Pierce My Heart,” “Fragile Passion,” “Declaration of Love” and “New Beginnings” a novice class. The horticulture will consist of four classes of flowering bulbs, rhizomes, corms and tubers, six classes of flowering perennials and biennials, seven classes of flowering shrubs and four classes of flowering trees. The general public is welcome to view the show from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad is located at 3510 James Madison Highway (Rt. 15) in Haymarket. For information call Ronnie Levay at 703 754 9422.
