Letter To The Chowan Herald Editor Myrtle Waff died several months ago. At her passing there were no tall headlines : . and no flowery obituary on her life, or death, yet she j. was a most remarkable character, a useful citizen and a gentle lady. Her service at the Edenton Elementary School library where she directed small children to good reading and ably assisted teachers with reference material was most efficient. More than once the state library inspector said this library was one of the best organized, most effeciently run and most artistically arranged of any in the state. From her knowledge of books and her appreciation of the best in them, one would never guess how limited had been her academic training arid > advantages. Being bereft of parents whom she nursed through prolonged illnesses, the * responsibility of the rest of the family fell to her. Lingering illnesses of the other loved required much care. Her means were limited, yet she met' her responsibilities uncomplain ingly, and kept her affairs in order. A few weeks ago all of Myrtle’s earthly possessions were sold at public auction. The French clock and all the vases and mugs from her bedroom mantel were removed from their fringed crocheted mats and placed for sale on the public town lot. A Regulator clock which hung in the narrow hall between two heavily framed portraits of her ancestors, along with several old trunks and a brass clothes tree -- all of which could have told tales of having served her loved ones -- were next to go.

This is a marvelous country we all live in and though it may sound a little hokey, we are very proud to be Americans. We stand up a little straighter when we see the flag these days and the Star Spangled Banner gives us more than a few goose bumps. This is our 200th birthday party and we all share the excitement of h the celebration. This is America at S 9 its best, “One Nation, Indivisible ill with Liberty and Justice For All.” |H Presented With Great Pride Patch work quilts, hand made curtains, an old piano scarf as well as boxes of broken jewelry, armless and legless bisque dolls, a mariner’s compass which had belonged to her brother, all were sold to the highest bidder. Tools from her tiny shed which she had used for many years in her flower . bed and garden, seemed to look back, lovingly to the home which had been theirs for many years. Her collection of books was thumbed through with interest by collectors and all were quickly sold. On my last visit with her a few days before she was to go to the hospital for the last time - her breath was short and she seemed to realize fully that the end was near. As was her custom, she spoke lovingly Qf friends and her doctors in particular. She said every doctor in town whom she had called during her long illness.had come quickly at any hour -- not knowing whether they would ever be paid. Quickly she added, every one of them were paid. Her gratitude was unbounded and she always tried to find away to repay as many kindnesses as possible. During her very last days when she was not able to speak, she wrote directing small mementos to be given to nurses and doctors. Back to my last visit with my friend in her home -- I found her propped up in bed in a room adjoining her small kitchen with red checked curtains and African violets in each window. In her bedroom near by in an open window sat her faithful companions -her two beloved cats quietly wagging their tails and looking at their devoted friend with big round eyes filled, it seemed to me, with human love aiid compassion. They seemed to be saying a farewell to Myrtle-as in deed it was. Belle Griffin Edenton, N.C. Walker Honor Students Listed Students at D. F.
