Title A name given to the resource Bondage Biographies: Enslaved People of Shenandoah County Description An account of the resource In 2018, the Truban Archives began compiling information to create a searchable database of enslaved people in Shenandoah County during the years 1772 to 1865. Under the direction of the archivist, several volunteers pored over various resources to compile spreadsheets of information. The data compiled included the following information (if known): names, names of enslavers, locations related to the person, birthdates, relationships, what happened to them (e.g., emancipation, willed, ran away), the records’ citations, and other notable information. The resources used to discover this information are varied, and all can be found at the Truban Archives. Volunteers examined newspaper clippings and several books, including abstracts of wills, research notebooks, births indexes, and a publication on the history of Edinburg, Virginia. Once the data of several hundred people were assembled, the spreadsheet was uploaded to the digital archives for public consumption. More people will be uploaded as the research progresses. Though much information has been found and made available to the public, unfortunately, Bondage Biographies: Enslaved People of Shenandoah County Collection will never truly be completed. This is due to lost records, including missing newspaper copies and unrecorded information. Because of this, the collection is an ongoing process, with more entries being made as new information is discovered.

Title A name given to the resource Morrison Studio Collection Subject The topic of the resource Morrison, Hugh Jr. (1871-1950) Morrison, Louis Morrison, James Description An account of the resource In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer. Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives. In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized. This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs. Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Gus to Mollie Foltz Subject The topic of the resource Foltz Family Forestville (Va) Bottineau (ND) Christmas Description An account of the resource This letter to Mary (Mollie) Foltz of Forestville VA was written on December 13, 1904 by “Gus,” a man who we know very little about. Records indicate that some of Mary’s family, including the Charlie Foltz mentioned in the letter, had moved to North Dakota during the beginning of the 20th century for new jobs and cheap land. It appears that Gus was among them. It was most likely mailed from the Bottineau ND post office. In his letter, the author mentions his community’s Christmas celebration. This included entertainment, most likely a children’s play/musical, and the Ladies Aid bazaar and supper. The proceeds of the latter, and the funds they raised by selling a piano and Minneapolis Journal subscriptions would go to buy a pipe organ, something an emerging community in the northern plains would have been extremely proud of. Gus also references holiday events in Forestville that Mollie would have been involved in. Apparently she helped organize the collection of evergreens to decorate her church (St. Mark’s Lutheran Church) and community, and the children’s Christmas program. The similarities between the two communities’ events are striking and highlight the connection between the two areas launched by Shenandoah County residents who moved west. Unfortunately not all of Gus’ letter was joyful news. He also reports on the amount of “sickness” in his area. Apparently an epidemic of an unknown disease had struck the community and had infected him, though he was recovering. Illnesses like these were common in both North Dakota and Shenandoah County before the emergence of many modern health practices. They occurred on almost a regular basis, claimed lives and terrified residents until they passed.

Title A name given to the resource Morrison Studio Collection Subject The topic of the resource Morrison, Hugh Jr. (1871-1950) Morrison, Louis Morrison, James Description An account of the resource In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer. Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives. In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized. This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs. Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.

Title A name given to the resource Letter to Pauline Lichliter from J.R. Selz Subject The topic of the resource Selz, Schwab & Co. (Chicago Ill.) Strasburg Junction (Va) Lichliter Family Description An account of the resource On June 1, 1915 J.R. Selz, of the Chicago-based Selz, Schwab & Co., sent this letter to Pauline Lichliter of Strasburg Virginia, notifying her that she had been awarded the coveted Morris Selz Liberty Bell Medal. Named for the Selz Company’s founder, Morris Selz, this award was given to students across the country who obtained the highest averages in their schools in specific subjects. While we are not sure what subject Pauline excelled in, her later career in newspapers, indicates it may have been in English. The Selz Company, founded in 1871, was a major shoe manufacturer and distribute in the mid-west. It would operate until 1929 when it closed as a result of the Great Depression. Pauline Lichliter would go on to have a distinguished career working for the Keister family and the Northern Virginia Daily, and later at the Presbyterian Church’s General Assembly Training School in Richmond, and various other educational organizations in the state. She died in Strasburg in 1972. Today her papers, and those of her family, are housed in the Truban Archives. They include hundreds of letters, photographs, postcards, and railroad items owned by her father who managed the Strasburg Junction for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

A transcription of the letter follows: My Dear Dr. Michael, Your letter to hand with the enclosures from Dr. Stibitz and Dr. Spinka. I have talked this over at length with Dr. Leich. We are as much inclined in our hearts as Drs Stibitz and Spinka to grant your request. We are willing that you should have the degree as of 1923 but to sign now under that date does not seem to us true and ethical. Then, too, this would not square with other records of that time, e.g., the minutes of the Faculty and the records of that commencement and also that of 1927. You seem to think that anything signed as of the present date would not serve your purpose. However, I am enclosing a statement signed by Dr. Leich and myself which you are at liberty to use if you desire. We are perplexed, having a desire to cede to your request, but must maintain our own conscientious consistency in the as in every other matter. With regards and all good wishes, I am Sincerely yours, Henry J.

Woodstock (Va) Salisbury (Md) Shipley, Howard Burton University of Delaware Shenandoah Valley Baseball League Stickley, W.E. Description An account of the resource Letter written from R.K. Hoch to the manager of the "Woodstock Ball Club" inquiring about playing for the team that year. At the time Woodstock fielded a team as part of the Shenandoah Valley Baseball League which included teams from throughout the region. The Woodstock manager was W.E. Stickley who also played on the team. Hoch was a catcher for the University of Delaware's baseball team in 1922, 1923, and 1924. When he wrote to the Woodstock team it was under the advice of his coach Howard Burton Shipley. While at Delaware he appears to have been a member of the Delta Sigma Nu Fraternity whose newsletter from that year indicates two other members of his family had also played baseball for the team while at Delaware. At the time it was common for college baseball plays to play for local baseball teams during the summer alongside local players. However, it does not appear that Hoch ever played for the Woodstock team. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hoch, R.K.

Title A name given to the resource Letter, J.S. Patterson Jr. to Samuel Spiggle Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1914-1918 Description An account of the resource This letter was sent from J.S. Patterson to Samuel Spiggle on October 2, 1919. Both were members of the 80th Infantry Division during the First World War and this piece of correspondence discusses efforts to locate old comrades and their life after the war. As the letter indicates, veterans felt a need to connect with the individuals the served with after the war had ended. The experiences they shared transcended geographic boundaries and the differences created in ordinary life. Spiggle, or "Spig", was a farmer while Patterson was a government employee. Yet the jokes and experiences referenced in this letter tie them together. These connections were especially important at the time since very few people understood how the war effected those who experienced it. Veterans relied on each other for support as they returned to civilian life. Organizations such as the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars were formed by veterans to serve in this capacity. Samuel Spiggle and many of the other residents of Shenandoah County who fought in the First World War joined the Veterans of Foreign Wars Massanutten Post in Edinburg. When he died in 1960 they showed their support by attending the service together. In addition, the majority of his pallbearers were members of his army unit.
