I^.SUS. houses were bought and restored by young families who have made them very liveable while retaining the charm and beauty of the period. “Old Magnolias” was built in 1837 after the “Great Fire” by John B. Wyatt, a sea captain. In 1858, John Wyatt sold the home to Dr. Robert Murray who maintained it during the Civil War when Suffolk was under military rule. Dr. Murray’s heirs sold the home in 1891 to Ida Lewish Harper, wife of Luzerne P. Harper, postmaster of Suffolk. The Norfleet House now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watkins was built in 1883 by Sarah Norfleet. She bought the land for $450 from Betty King and Mary Moore, daughters of William Moore. She owned the home until it was pur chased in 1915 by John THE CHOWAN HERALD Norfleet for $1,730 including the property and buildings. John Norfleet, Jr. inherited the house in 1949 and sold it that same year to a Mr. Butler. In 1957 Buck and Marjorie Wells bought the house and bequeatherd it to their nephew, Mr. Garland Jones.

Cupola House To Host jl Wassail Bowl Event The Cupola House Association will host its third annual Wassail Bowl Christmas Party on December 6th, from 5 P.M. until 7 P.M. The Wassail Bowl, like the Yule log, is a Christmas custom that developed in medieval England. “Wassail” comes from the Anglo Saxon phrase that means “be whole,” or “be healthy.” A drink from the traditional Wassail Bowl is thus, a toast to the health and prosperity of friends and neighbors. For the Wassail Party, the Cupola House will be decorated in 18th Century Christmas fashion by the Garden of Eden Club. Local guitarist, Elizabeth Stevens, and Wesley Gregson, an instructor at Elizabeth City State University who plays the recorder, will be ac companied by a madrigal group from Elizabeth City to provide Christmas music for the occasion. Mrs. R.N. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. J. Clarence Leary, Jr., Mrs. Nelson Crandall, Miss Elizabeth Moore, Mrs. William B. Rosevear, and Mrs. J.G. Wood will receive guests in the hall of the Cupola House. Mrs. William Culpepper, Mrs. Hobart Truesdell, Mrs. John Becker, Mrs. Terrence Boyle, Mrs. Neil Dirom, Mrs. Hood Ellis, Mrs. Roland Vaughn, and Mrs. Alexander Schenck will assist in serving. The Cupola House Association wishes to thank John Smith for the generous gift of his silver punchbowl for the wassail. Mrs. Campbell, fund- Thursday, November 24, 1977 raising chairman of the Cupola House Association who initiated and organized the party, will make the wassail according to her special recipe. Residents of Edenton and Chowan County are invited to attend the Wassail Bowl Party, and to bring a small gift of money for the Cupola House. A [date for a “silver offering” will be provided in the hall. Funds will be used to insure the continued preservation of the historic Cupola House, its furniture and grounds.
