Some of those details
reveal the depth of interests
many First Ladies have had
in social issues, politics and
public concerns. For
example, Fannie Yar
borough Bickett (1917-1921)
was a professional social
worker, Fay Webb Gardner,
(1929-1933) was a national
figure in the Democratic
Party,and Carolyn Hunt has
for years been a dedicated
volunteer in the public
schools.
Other anecdotes provide
glimpses into the personal
side of life in the Executive
Mansion. Eleanor Kearny
Carr (1893-1897) treasured a
dictionary given to her by
her husband Elias and in
Adjutant General of North
- Carolina, a post he held until
1970.
The N. C. Military Center
was completed in 1964. It is
the state headquarters of
the N. C. National Guard,
housing, among others, the
Office of the Adjutant
General, incumbent Maj.
Gen. William E. Ingram.
Maj. Gen. Ingram invites
all interested people to
attend the dedication
ceremony.
scribed, To my beloved
wife, given in fond hope that
in the future she will leave
mine alone.” Musette
Satterfield Kitchin (1909-
1913) was an opera buff, and
Alice Willson Broughton
(1914-1945) had to cope with
her children’s unusual pets,
including a goat and an
alligator.
The process of putting
together “The First Ladies
of North Carolina” began
after Jeanelle C. Moore
served as First Lady for her
husband, Gov. Dan K.
Moore (1965-1969). Con
cerned that no bode existed
describing the state’s First
Ladies, she began collecting
information.
