Volunteers add significance to library’s role in community
By nORMa B. dennIs FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com
Volunteers play a vital role in any group or organization and those at the Jamestown Public Library are no exception. During the Friends of the Library’s annual meeting Oct. 28, three volunteers were recognized for their exceptional service.
Included in the group was Sarah Gibson. Gibson is a long-time treasurer of the Old Jamestown School Association and is known for her quiet, but reliable volunteerism to the library.
Bobbie Huggins has served as treasurer of the Friends of the Library. She also organized and leads Stitcherdoodles, a craft oriented group that meets weekly at the library to work on various projects of the individuals’ choosing. Attend any special book sale at the library and among the volunteers you are sure to find Jenny Naples who organizes the events. The sales have placed thousands of books in readers’ hands, drawn income to support the library and increased its visibility. Naples also is largely responsible for the renovation of the Corner Book Shop, which sells books for all ages and is always open to library visitors.
business/friendship connect two families to Jamestown property
By CaROL BROOKs FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com
Edward Armstrong was in charge of the Deep River Kennels in Jamestown. His home was near the intersection of Guilford College and Guilford roads and was demolished last year for a housing development.
Several years of research on items found in the Armstrong house and for the exhibit at the High Point Museum last year about the Deep River Lodge and Kennels brought many formerly-unknown subjects to light — and many more stories to tell.
Shanna Moore, who was appointed administrator of the Johnson family archives, which includes items found in the Armstrong house, has presented
several programs on what she and others discovered. The variety of information uncovered has assured that each program has been a bit different.
On Oct. 3 she spoke at the First Thursday History Series at the Jamestown Public Library. Friends of the Library and the Historic
november is native american Heritage month
By CaROL BROOKs FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com
On Aug. 3, 1990, President George H.W. Bush declared November as National American Indian Heritage Month, now Native American Heritage Month. It is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse culture, history and tradition of the hundreds of Native American tribes across the United States.
The government now recognizes 574 Indian tribes.
Early Native Americans kept to themselves but often were found fighting in America’s wars, including the Revolutionary and Civil wars, protecting their own territories, not necessarily those of the white man. The Library of Congress states, “American Indians have eagerly served a government which did not always keep its word to their ancestors. They have volunteered to
serve in conflicts from World War II to Iraq. Few encountered any overt prejudice while in uniform, but for all American Indian veterans, the honor of defending their country overrode all other considerations.”

absolute Comfort Heating & Cooling inc. continues to serve
By n ORMa B. denn I s FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com
One could say that Absolute Comfort Heating & Cooling started in the living room of its owners during a conversation between husband and wife. It was August of 1989 and Donnie Williams, at encouragement from his wife Nancy, decided to start his own HVAC company. At the time he was teaching the subject at Guilford Technical Community College and working part-time as a service technician and fixing units for his friends, family and neighbors.
His first employee was one of his students, but it was not until 1992 that Donnie left GTCC to work for himself full-time.
Absolute Comfort is a full-service company offering installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of residential and light com-
mercial HVAC systems.
“We are a family environment,” said Katie Dyson, the Williams’ daughter who serves as accounting and operations manager of the company. “Many of our employees have been with us for 10, 15, even 20 years or more.
“We pride ourselves on honest, good work. We will always do our best to provide great customer service and like to make sure our customers know that we are a company they can trust.”
Absolute Comfort is a member of the Jamestown Business Association. It is located at 205 W. Main Street, Jamestown, and is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Service technicians are on call weekends and evenings until 10 p.m. for emergencies. Contact the company at 336-454-5786 or email info@ yourabsolutecomfort.com

These three women have become part of the Honor Roll of Volunteers. Their names are engraved on a plaque that hangs in the foyer of the library.
“Since its beginning, this library has been a labor of love from top to bottom from many who have roots here and others who just love libraries,” said Jean Regan, president of Friends of the Jamestown Library.
Other business at the meeting included the election of officers. Leading the group for the coming year will be Regan, Emily Wagoner, vice president; Barbara Trembley, secretary; and Cille McKinsey, treasurer.
An informal program reviewed some past programs sponsored by Friends of the Library for the community.
Shortly after the library opened, Mary Hamil, volunteer head librarian who came with a wealth of experience and knowledge, set the precedent for programming — from weekly story times for children to
engaging and enlightening programs for adults. One, presented by Dr. Thomas McGowan, included unusual and interesting names of places in North Carolina. The North Carolina Humanities Council also provided several programs. When previous Honor Roll of Volunteers recipients Sue Metz and her husband, the late Dale Metz, were co-presidents of Friends of the Jamestown Library, they successfully coordinated many interesting programs, especially ones with a history focus. A few topics were Jamestown rifles, genealogy, Florence and Rosenwald schools and gold mining in Jamestown.
Sue Metz shared an overview of those programs.
Although not mentioned during the annual meeting, a note of interest is the concept of historical programs begun by the Metz couple have more recently been continued with programs featuring Jamestown’s Oakdale community and the Edward Armstrong and Clarence Mackey properties off Guilford College Road.
“We hope to have more history programs in the future,” Regan said.
Friends of the Jamestown Library is open to anyone interested in supporting the library. The group sponsors functions, dissimilates information and raises money for programs and items that would enhance the library.
“We also hope to interact with other groups in the community, such as the Jamestown Business Association which was a big help during our recent barbecue fundraiser,” Regan said. “There are brochures at the library desk for anyone interested in joining our group. The cost is only $10 a year.”
s I ness
Jamestown Society sponsored the event. This time her talk was focused on the two families associated with the lodge and kennels, the Mackay and Armstrong families.
The Mackays
“I tried to tell the stories of the two families because I think they’re fascinating,” Moore said. “Especially that of John Mackay, father of Clarence, who immigrated to America during the potato famine in Ireland, which occurred from 1845-1852. He went to work in the boatbuilding business.
“He spent the rest of his life being embarrassed that he could not speak proper English. He was a rough and tumble, go-in-the-bars-and-fight kind of guy.”
When he married and the family had a home in Paris, he remained the same kind of man and wouldn’t buy into the continental lifestyle.
John Mackay eventually became rich with mining — one of the discoverers of the largest silver mine in history, the Comstock Lode — and cable ventures. He established the Commercial Cable Company and Postal Telegraph & Cable Corporation.
New York financier Clarence Mackay’s hunting lodge in Jamestown drew wealthy northern industrialists and other elite guests to enjoy the local hunting. It was located just off what is now Guilford College Road in the Cedarwood, Whittington Hall, Woodbine, Quarterpath Trace and some of Forestdale North subdivisions.
Stories have been written about Clarence Mackay and Deep River Lodge and Kennels, but little has been told of the Armstrong family. However, Moore said the collection had more papers about the kennels but not much about the lodge.
The Armstrongs
A man named Edward Armstrong lived in Castleton Village in England. He was a well-to-do builder of libraries, developer of math tests to the people in the village, and had the ability to cure cancer.
“It was probably due to his success curing dogs,” Moore said. “They developed their own veterinary medicine for diseases.
“This family was really the philanthropists of the village, who took care of other people. But with all Edward’s success, he knew his four sons had no opportunities in England due to the class system in the late 1800s. He was determined they would have a life where they could have some upward nobility.”
So, one by one he sent his sons to America.
“It’s a beautiful immigration story,” Moore said. “It’s incredible.”
Bob Armstrong came first in the early 1890s. He began working for financier J.P. Morgan at his New York estate handling and breeding Morgan’s collies. He later moved to North Carolina and worked for George Jay Gould at Furlough Kennels east of Archdale.
John Armstrong, known as Jack, came to America in 1892 and around 1896 was hired at Furlough Kennels where he, like
Bob, worked with dogs, this time pointers and retrievers.
The younger Edward Armstrong (Ned) came to this country in 1899 and went to work for William Gould Brokaw at Fairview Park in Trinity for one year. But the 23-year-old soon went to Mackay’s Deep River Kennels where he would stay for nearly 40 years. One item found in the Armstrong house was a telegram from Brokaw in New York dated Jan. 12, 1899, to Ned in North Carolina, saying, “Do not leave my employ until you get my letter.”
The last brother, William (Willy or Billy) took over management of Furlough after his brother John died.
“There was a large amount of hazing of the immigrants who worked at these large estates and there was a hierarchy,” Moore said. “The Irish always tried to haze the English, etc. trying to compete for rank.”
While you can look at the Armstrong brothers as servants under the kennel owners, as the dog handlers, they were actually at a higher level than others who worked at the kennel. Ned was especially important to Clarence Mackay.
“There’s a letter from Mackay to Ned saying Ned was Mackay’s representative in Jamestown,” Moore said. “Mackay made it clear to Ned that he was in charge in Jamestown by basically saying, ‘When I send my staff to Jamestown, they report to you.’”
Ned Armstrong also managed all of Mackay’s hunting in New York, North Carolina, England and Scotland. He managed the transportation of dogs and guns, handled dogs for competitions, raised game birds, oversaw leases with local landowners and hired and trained staff to assist guests of Mackay’s shooting parties.
“Part of Ned’s diaries were about helping other farmers burn the fields to help the quail nest,” Moore said, “so they were land managers for the sole purpose of being able to hunt on this land.”
Quail nested along fences and they raised more quail in Jamestown than they shot so they contributed to the quail population, not decimated it.
Ned may have had a hand in purchasing the property that Mackay owned in Jamestown but may not have supervised the building of Deep River Lodge. He probably did have something to say about the Deep River Kennels, however.
Mackay died in 1938 and his will left the Deep River property to his son John, and a $5,000 bequest went to Ned Armstrong. Armstrong later went to an auction in New York and bought the property from John.
The Mackay/Armstrong property eventually went to Ned’s grandsons, Ted and Bill Johnson. Ted passed away in 2018. Bill sold the property in 2021 to D.R. Horton Inc., which is clearing ground for a 1,500-unit development with 3.2 units per acre.
“These two families had different backgrounds but kind of merged together,” Moore said. “They started off very business-like but became very close friends. Clarence Mackay and Ned Armstrong were 10 months apart in age.”

the military and UnC
My wife Harriet and I were grateful last month to be invited to the Annual Tar Heel Tribute on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus.
The invitation explained, “Carolina is proud to have many members of the staff, faculty and student body who have served or who are currently serving in the military. Their leadership and service to both the country and the University is celebrated with the Tar Heel Tribute, an annual event in honor of the many contributions of the veterans and service members in the Carolina community.
By d.g. Ma RTI n
The Tar Heel Tribute is an annual in-person event for Carolina veterans and typically includes a complimentary luncheon with a special gift and keynote presentation.
This event is sponsored by the Division of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity & Compliance in partnership with the Carolina Veterans Resource Center within the Office of Dean of Students.

“This event is sponsored by the Division of Human Resources and Equal Oppor -
tunity & Compliance in partnership with the Carolina Veterans Resource Center within the Office of Dean of Students.”
My wife and I were even more excited when we learned that our son Grier would be delivering the keynote address. He is the secretary of the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
The invitation explained, “Secretary Martin was appointed to lead the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (NC DMVA) by Governor Roy Cooper on April 1, 2024. Secretary Martin is a retired Army Reserve soldier with service as a judge advocate and a field artillery officer, deploying to Afghanistan in 2002-03. He received a B.A. in history from Davidson College, and a J.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Law where he was a Note Editor of the North Carolina Law Review. He also has a Master of Laws in military law with a concentration in international and operational law from the Judge Advocate General’s School. His awards include the Office of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service, the National Guard Association of the United States Charles Dick Medal of Merit, and the N.C. Disabled American Veterans Legislator of the Year.”
In his short talk the speaker reviewed the many historic connections between the university and the military, including, of course, the service of

students and alumni during World War II. He noted how the Navy’s prefight program brought important people to the campus including baseball star Ted Williams and future U.S. president to the campus for training.
During and before World War II, the university actively cooperated with the military in projects such as the Navy preflight program which prepared stud students from North Carolina and all over the country for training as Navy pilots.
The project brought more than 10,000 people to the campus. They brought their different backgrounds and strongly held beliefs.
As they were transformed as they were transforming the UNC campus with new buildings new experiences and necessarily bringing all the university’s resources, physical and teaching procedures to serve or training and developing training procedures, and providing physical resources for the training and, and how all of this brought people and activities together so that the university was never the same.
They learned to set aside their differing viewpoints, resolved conflicts and came together in common effort to win the war.
A similar challenge, according to the speaker, faces today’s university with the county divided and crippled by internal conflicts.
Working together with its students the university can again help us to overcome the divisions that weaken us.
D.G. Martin, a retired lawyer, served as UNC-System’s vice president for public affairs and hosted PBS-NC’s North Carolina Bookwatch.

Coffee break
Salome’s Stars
WEEK OF NOV. 11, 2024
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things develop without pressure.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you’re used to. But rely on your strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
To avoid neglecting a personal matter because of a demanding new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set up.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It won’t be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change. Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you’ll be less likely to trip up when things are in a chaotic state.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming up soon.
Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week’s end, you should learn something that will help set the record straight.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Holiday plans could be a challenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled period starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So, make use of them when dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to an offer of help from an unlikely source.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) There still could be a communication problem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually, your
message will get through and be understood.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be reassessed because of the possibility of finding benefits that you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A personal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person who is involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. Instead, seek common ground by talking things through.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touching people’s minds as well as their hearts. You would be an outstanding educator.

devised a code built on word substitution. Common military terms were assigned a Navajo code word and each letter of the English alphabet was also assigned at least one code word so that other terms could be spelled out using the code.

Local tribes Jamestown and surrounding parts of Guilford, Randolph and Rockingham counties were once the home of the Saura and Keyauwee tribes. These groups were related to the Siouan cultures. They groups later became known as the Sioux, a large and powerful group. Only Iroquois and Algonquian tribes were larger. According to “The Saura and Keyauwee in the Land that Became Guilford, Ran-

dolph, and Rockingham,” by Edith Stephens Arnett, published in 1975, “Some of these wandering families had decided to live together and were beginning to settle in small villages. Three such settlements have been positively identified as having been located about 300 years ago on the land which is known today as Piedmont North Carolina.”
Saura were also known as Cheraw and may have had as many as 1,200 mem-

Arnett writes the first known inhabitants were the Saura and Keyauwee.
“The Saura tribe is known to have settled in two villages, Upper Saura Town and Lower Saura Town in the northern part of North Carolina; and the Keyauwee tribe built its village about 75 miles south of the Saura.”
The Keyauwee only numbered about 500.
absorbed by the Catawba tribe.”
Shawn Rogers, director of Mendenhall Homeplace agreed.
“The Saura and Keyauwee became assimilated and combined,” Rogers said. Even today remnants of these early Native American settlements may be found.
In the early 1700s, English explorer and naturalist John Lawson (1674-1711) wrote of the Keyauwee in his journal “A New Voyage to Carolina,” “Most of these Indians Wear Mustachoes and Whiskers, which is rare; by reason the Indians are a People that commonly pull the Hair of their faces and other Parts, up by the Roots and suffer none to grow.”
(Capitalization is Lawson’s.)
A favorite activity of many is to look for arrowheads. Mendenhall Homeplace has a collection of arrowheads found in the area.
According to surveyor William Byrd of Virginia (1674-1744), the Saura moved away because Seneca tribes moved in. Senecas were part of the Iroquois.
“In the mid-1700s when the Quakers first came to New Garden (now Guilford College), they found great open grass-covered spaces, so that very little clearing was necessary for them to prepare fields for growing their food,” Arnett wrote. “Some people thought that these places without trees could have been farmland where the Indians had once planted corn, or were spaces kept cleared of forests so that small wild growth could flourish for birds and small animals.
“Both the Saura and the Keyauwee must have enjoyed the space which became Guilford County, because of its splendid forests and ground-covering plants which … often grew as high as a man on horseback.”
The Keyauwee were the only American Indians ever known to let hair grow on their faces.
Lawson traveled over 1,000 miles in the Carolinas and spent seven years in what would become North Carolina in 1712 and his writings on the Native Americans is considered the most accurate.
The Town of Jamestown website notes, “As early as 1701, the Keyauwee Indians were living in a village in this region. They enjoyed the area’s mild climate, abundant natural resources, and the fertile hunting grounds along the Deep and Uwharrie rivers.
“Part of a loose confederacy of 20 or more tribes, it is believed that by the 1760s, the Keyauwee had moved south close to the boundary between the two Carolinas where they were likely
