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 Genevieve McClain With Two Graduates Subject The topic of the resource McClain, Genevieve D. (Robinson) (ca 1895-1983) Smith, Daniel (1931-2014) African Americans - Virginia - Shenandoah County Green, Clarence M. (1931-????) Students - Virginia - Shenandoah County Teachers - Virginia - Shenandoah County Description An account of the resource Photograph of educator Genevieve McClain standing with two of her students, Daniel Smith (seated) and Clarence Green (standing). These students are most likely ones Genevieve McClain taught while teaching at Creekside School. Genevieve D. Robinson was born in Douglas Grove, Berkley County, West Virginia, to David Henry and Sarah E. (Banks) Robinson. The year of her birth varies depending on the document, anywhere from 1892 to 1898. She was one of nine children and her father worked in a stone quarry when she was a child. She married William McClain (1876-1931) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1922. He was the son of Henry and Georgie (Brown) McClain. Genevieve and William may have had a daughter, Genevieve, but little is known about her. In the 1930 census, they lived in Pittsburgh, PA, but William died less than two years later. It appears Genevieve moved back to West Virginia. Genevieve worked as an elementary school teacher in Franklin, W. Va., Woodstock, Va., and Stanardsville, Va. In Woodstock, she taught during the late 1940s and early 1950s at Creekside Elementary School, Woodstock's segregated school. In the 1950 census, she appeared as a boarder in the household of William and Elizabeth Jefferson near Church and Water Streets in Woodstock. She was a schoolteacher. This photograph was undoubtedly taken during her time in Shenandoah County. She was a retired teacher and lived in Ranson, West Virginia, when she died. Her obituary noted she had been a member of the Jefferson County Committee on Aging and the N.A.A.C.P. She is buried with her husband in Douglas Grove Cemetery, Berkley County, West Virginia. Daniel Smith was a son of George Marvin and Genevieve “Jeneva” (McPherson) Smith of Woodstock. Daniel Smith did not stay in Woodstock. He married Shirley Delorus (Munday) (1936-2020), born in Atlanta, and spent much of his life with her on Staten Island, New York. They raised a family there; son David Daniel Smith (1963-2020) and a daughter.

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.

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.

Occupation Enslaved Person Biographical Text George and Harry Bird -- both enslaved by John Geyer of Woodstock, Virginia -- had run away in 1836. Christian Miller, the jailer for the town who had power of attorney from the Geyer estate, followed the two to Utica, New York. Miller found George and Harry, arrested them, and brought them to Judge Hayden. George and Harry denied being who Miller said they were. Their attorney, Alvan Stewart, argued that all men were free and that George and Harry were illegally arrested. The rest of the examination was postponed until later that evening, at 6:30 p.m. As it got closer to that time, a crowd grew in support of George and Harry. Just before the appointed hour, a signal was given to extinguish the lights. A struggle occurred between the guards and the crowd, and Harry and George were able to break free and escape.

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.
