GENTLY USED SHOES——-Patricia Russell, RECA

Donations of Gently Used Shoes again picked up tremendously in June and July. We

have experienced additional requests for an outdoor location to drop off shoes at the Ruritan

Cabin. This question has been answered at the August meeting of Rougemont Ruritan. Look

for the container marked for GENTLY USED SHOES outside the building where you may drive

up and leave your donations, which will be soon collected and forwarded for use by those

who need them urgently.

THANK YOU, ALL WHO DONATED YOUR GENTLY USED SHOES!

Also, thank you to you who collected and delivered those shoes.

At the moment there is a pressing need for children’s shoes in addition to the usual ongoing

need for all ages.

Once again, thank you for your help in this project. We could not do it without you!

A Tale With a Meaning

Along about 1943, 1944, Jane (age 13) and Jeanine (age 9) had an after-school chore every day. They were to take the coal bucket to the shed, fill it with coal and empty it into the box behind the coal heater in the sitting room. They were

to take turns doing this until the box in the sitting room was full. All youngsters have chores. This particular day Jane, being older, was certain is was also her job to supervise Jeanine’s work as they carried out this one chore. Jeanine did not agree with this on this particular day. When Jane told Jeanine she was moving too slow and to get a move on, Jeanine told her to shut up. Jane fumed, then picked up the hatchet beside the wood chopping block also located in the shed with the coal. She hefted the dull hatchet, “Tell me to shut up, will ya!” and she hurled the hatchet at Jeanine. Jeanine easily dodged the missile, but also fumed. “I’ll get you, bossy!” she yelled and pitched up the pitchfork leaning against the wall with a hoe, a rake, and other implements. Holding the pitchfork in a businesslike way in front of her, she advanced on Jane with purpose. Jane retreated from the shed. Jeanine followed, closing on her. Jane ran. Jeanine ran after her. Around

the house the sisters went. Jane leaped up the steps onto the front porch and ran for the front door, Jeanine close behind. She jerked the screen open and barreled through the glass-paned front door just as the screen door closed between herself and Jeannine. Jeanine thrust the pitchfork forward in an attempt to catch Jane before the screen separated them, only to catch the four prongs of the pitchfork in the screen all the way to their hilt, leaving four level, perfectly round holes just about buttocks high on a thirteen-year-old in the screen.

This happened when I was a small baby. Our dad left the screen with its holes standing in place without replacing the screen on the door until I graduated from high school. He said it was to remind us all that lost tempers have a way of showing where they ended up in sometimes dangerous, hurtful ways, and that we all should work to prevent having ours show up having caused actual harm to someone. So, the meaning here is that even though sisters (brothers, too) may fight, they need to govern their tempers.

Rougemont / Bahama Landmarks and History

Do you know this historical marker on Roxboro Road near the intersection of Bahama road? Do you know Willie (pronounced Wiley) Mangum’s story? Read on for the next few pages. United States Senator Willie P. Mangum lived on his estate which he named Walnut Hall about 10 miles from this marker in the early 1800’s in what is now Hill Forest. Nothing is left of the estate except the family cemetery which had become overgrown and in disrepair until Bahama Ruritan Club initiated a pro-ject to clear the overgrowth on August 5th of this year. On that day a group of two dozen Ruritans, volunteers and interested folks, led by Bahama Ruritan member Richard Miller, met at the Mangum family cemetery and cut down the overgrowth to preserve the site without disturbing it. Following are a few pictures of the cemetery and the folks who helped preserve it.

From time to time additional articles about local history will appear in the Rougemont Reporter. The Reporter would like to hear from area citizens concerning topics of possible interest.

Willie P. Mangum by Judge Jim Hill

Rougemont was almost the home of the President of the United States, twice. Willie (pronounced Wylie) Person (pronounced Parson) Mangum was born in 1792 in a sec-tion of Orange County which later became Durham County. Mangum was educated at academies in Hillsborough, Fayetteville and Raleigh. In 1815, he graduated from the University of North Carolina. He studied law with Duncan Cameron, who was a judge and owner of Farintosh Farm. He was admitted to the bar in 1817. He was elected to the North Carolina State Legislature in 1817 when he was 26 years old. In the same year, he married Charity Alston Cain. (Her family owned the Hardscrabble plantation). He was lat-er elected to the U. S. House of Representatives and eventually, the North Carolina Legislature elected him to the U. S. Senate (prior to the passage of the 17

th amend-

ment, senators were elected by the state legislature).

Originally, Mangum was elected to the U. S. Senate as a Democrat and was a follow-er of President Andrew Jackson. Before long, he began attacking the policies of Presi-dent Jackson and was helping organize the Whig Party. He eventually resigned from the U. S. Senate in 1836 because of a dispute he had with the North Carolina Legisla-ture as to “obeying” as to how to vote in the U. S. Senate. He returned to North Caroli-na and resumed the practice of law. Around 1840, Mangum constructed his own plantation home called Walnut Hill on Hampton Road in Rougemont. This was an addition to his father’s home. The style of the home was similar to Farintosh, as Duncan Cameron was his mentor.

In 1839, the organization of the Whig Party was perfected. Mangum attend the nation-al convention and supported Henry Clay for the presidency. William Henry Harrison received the party’s nomination for president. A committee at the convention offered the Vice Presidential nomination to Mangum. However, he felt that Henry Clay had been treated unfairly and he turned the nomination down. The Vice Presidential nomi-nation went to John Tyler.

William Henry Harrison served the shortest term of president in history. He refused to wear an overcoat during the inauguration. It was cold and rainy. He caught pneumo-nia and died 33 days later. John Tyler became president. (Imagine if Mangum had said yes). Harrison was the first president to die in office and, naturally, Tyler was the first Vice President to become President.

In the 1840 election, the Whigs carried North Carolina and Mangum was again elect-ed to the Senate by the North Carolina legislature. In 1842, he was elected president pro tem of the U. S. Senate. At that time, presidential succession went from vice pres-ident to the president pro tem of the senate. Therefore, Mangum was next in line to become president. Continued>

Rougemont Reporter Page 10

In 1844, President Tyler was aboard the U. S. Navy warship Princeton. There was a mighty blast on the warship. The blast killed Secretary of State Abel Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas Gilmer and several others. President Tyler escaped death because he had left the deck of the Princeton shortly before the explosion. Had Tyler been killed, Willie P. Mangum would have become the 11

th President of the United States.

In 1853, ill health ended Mangum’s senate career. He died in 1861 and is buried at Walnut Hall, Hampton Road, Rougemont, North Carolina. Submitted by Durham District Court Judge James T. Hill who is a Rougemont native.

Back in 1925-1926 in Rougemont… In the tales you have read about the Allen gang, I don’t recall there being a mention of their (slightly) older sister. Yes, the five boys were like stairsteps, and their only sister Cathleen would be the upper landing to those stairsteps. In their early years, she would have been the brain behind their jokes, just as happened on this day. The children and their father were staying with their Grandmother Mary while their mother was under-going treatment for tuberculosis in Pittsboro, and their father was working at his crop to support the fam-ily. Uncle Bill, third youngest of Grandmother Mary’s brood of seven who survived infancy, had reached courting age. This phenomenon fascinated the Allen gang plus one. Uncle Bill regularly washed up the buggy and his horse, polished the harness and then--wonder of wonders to the five little boys--he took a WHOLE bath, put on smelly stuff, and dressed up in his Sunday clothes—in the middle of the week and even again on Saturday! When Uncle Bill harnessed his horse before supper and then went on to bathe shortly after the meal, the boys were all about being helpful. They loved being up front and personal when Uncle Bill was being so particular about everything. This particular Saturday afternoon, sister “Keenibuck” (oldest boy Rufus could not say “Cathleen” for some reason early on and “Keenibuck” was his name for her, and it stuck) was urging the boys to help Uncle Bill, saying she would help, too. So, following supper when Uncle Bill, came prancing out of the house, hat in hand, mounted the buggy, shook out the reins, and prepared to de-part, all six children were lined up to watch his departure.

Uncle Bill told the children to stay back out of the way and shook the reins, calling “Git up” to the horse (whose name I have never heard). As usual, the big wheels turned slowly and the buggy began to roll. Suddenly where was a “pop” and WHAM! The right rear buggy wheel came off the buggy so hard, it rolled right past the six children. Uncle Bill immediately stopped the horse, and with a one-hand assist, leaped over the side of the buggy to investigate. Sure

enough, the wheel had come straight off—nothing broken about the hub. The children rushed to investi-gate and even rolled the errant wheel over to the buggy. Uncle Bill said, “Uh, oh. The wheel came off so fast it popped off the taps holding the wheel on the buggy. Trouble is, I don’t see a one of them any-where.” Cathleen immediately clasped her hands behind her back, and sweetly looked up at Uncle Bill. Saying, “You lost all your taps, Uncle Bill? We’ll help you find ‘em.” So it was, with a chorus of “We will, Uncle Bill,” the children turned to search. Curiously enough, they almost immediately all met at the same big rock by the nearest oak tree in the yard. The boys turned the rock over, and Cathleen called out, “Uncle Bill, here they are!” Uncle Bill flung his hat and jacket into the seat of the buggy and walked over to investigate. Sure enough, all the taps were lying there in a straight line. “How do you kids suppose the taps to that wheel all got over here and under that rock together?” Uncle Bill asked, hands on his hips and a scowl on his face. “We don’t have no idea, Uncle Bill!” the cherubs chorused. Long story short, Uncle Bill replaced the taps, pushed the children into the kitchen with Grandma while he washed his hands, all the while reporting to her what had happed then abruptly left. (By now, he was running late, you see.) The next morning, six children went to church with Daddy and Grandma without breakfast, and cleaned out the stalls in the barn after church before getting a dinner of cold greens, cold boiled potatoes, and cold biscuits. At least, though, they didn’t get a whipping for being so much help.

Rougemont Extension and Community Association (RECA)

RECA is a part of the Durham County ECA and North Central Region ECA of North Carolina Extension and Com-munity Association (NCECA). President Katie Newton joined others from Durham County ECA to attend the state meeting in July 2017 at the Sheraton in Raleigh. This meeting was condensed to one day inorder to host the con-ference of our sister association: National Volunteer Outreach Network, Inc. (NVON), with whom we work closely during the remaining two days. By holding concurrent conferences for 2017, our ECA members were able to ex-perience a wider choice of workshops and gain more understanding of community needs and ways we can help while fulfilling our goal of Lifelong Learning. ECA members are also represented with the Association of Country Women of the World (ACWW). Our ECA hat is indeed a tall one. (See our associated logos, below.) In addition to our local work, we participate in NCECA Scholarships, help combat Human Trafficking by partner-ing with partners against Human Trafficking (PATH), and other initiatives across our state and nation. Rising high school senior with ties to ECA (moms, grandmoms, aunts, etc.) may apply for scholarship for 2018 by submitting their application through RECA in January. ECA members are also eligible for scholarships for continuing edu-cation. There is more to being an ECA member than cooking! !See you soon! -Patricia Russell, RECA
