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.

Text Any textual data included in the document Henrietta Furnace Va June 8 1859 Dear Uncle As an opportunity has presented itself for giving you a few items of news I shall avail myself thereof. As you hace probably heard ere this, I bought Union Forge last Saturday evening from Saml. Lantz – Israel Rinker having been out before – the property purchased includes the forge, coal house Cribs, mill stables office hay barn, mansion house, & six other houses on that side of creek & 1 on church side opposite forge, also 500 acres of land timbered above Edinburg forge office & complete set of forge tools etc. for which we are to pay 100 tons of bar iron in monthly regular installments, in 3 years time, which makes payments 33 1/3 tons per annum or a shade less than 2 ¾ tons per month. Are to have possession on 1st Septm next. It is as you are well aware the most constant power on the creek and on these terms I think quite cheap. I told Israel Rinker that I would like to consult you first; but Mr. Lantz came here & we got so close that I could not do so. No the question is – Do you wish to have ¼ interest in it like furnace here and consolidate this & the forge as one property or not – I would have liked to have seen you ere I closed; but they seemed to be so anxious to arrange it that I could not. I shall try to arrange it to make about 50 tons bar iron and same amt. of bloom per annum, which will require about 400 loads of coal – work for one team and pig metal shall have it hauled. Out metal makes excellent bar iron, a little on the red short order but will correct that. On account of knocking & jabbing around tungers (?) while in that bad condition when we started the furnace did not want to work fee & clean and Redeneiser begged to have a new hearth put in so that he can see what she will do under proper circumstances – accordingly blewed out last Saturday and expect to have hearth all dressed this week and in furnace to day a week – So that we can start next Monday a week – stopping 2 weeks. I will be down on Sunday as I have to be in Cout on Monday to get my compliment of hands to work road by our place over which I am appointed the supervisor. I understand you are driving things tremendous in the way of getting coal etc. – well that’s all right and if the pig metal would only advance it would be a good deal better yet; but I really am afraid it will be some time yet ere we can expect high prices or fair prices again. I hope Congress will give us a fair tariff next session to keep this low priced English iron away: The English Iron Master are mostly doing a losing business at present rates and if England does get involved in the war so that labor will advance they will have to stop or prices get higher and there is no question that at some future day not so very far distant it will like it usually does shoot up as erratic as a comet again but I do not believe for a year to come yet.

Text Any textual data included in the document Cover (19-1121-002) J. Gatewood Esq. Woodstock Shenandoah Va. Body (19-1121-001) For the Sentinel. Solution To Tyro’s(?) prob., Sentinel No. 21. The wheel A turning in the pinion a will cause 40 ÷ 10= 4 revolutions of that pinion which the wheel A makes one. The wheel B turning on the same shaft will also make 4 revolutions causing the pinion b to make 4x30 ÷ 8 = 15 revolutions. For the same reason the wheel C will cause the pinion c to make 20 x 15 ÷5= 60 revolutions. Therefore, while the wheel A makes one revolution, the pinion c will make 60. M.C. I am much pleased with Tyro’s application of the revered adage “to err is human.” If the error which evidently appears to have been his own, was involuntary. I know too well the extent of human frailty to feel wouned (sic wounded?). No doubt over natural interest and original design will be best promoted by a friendly and forbearing spirit; and it will only be necessary for each of us to be certain where we have make our centre (?) before we make our aim. M.C. Mr. Gatewood, Please give a place in your paper for the above, and oblige yours &c Wm. Tisinger.

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. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028. This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

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.
