Social Security
By Lee E. Wallio
Field Representative
Persons who are planning
to retire before age 65
should apply for their
monthly Social Security
benefits no later than the
last day of the month they
want benefits to begin.
Benefits payable for
months before age 65 can
begin no earlier than the
month of application.
This limitation also ap
plies to widows and
widowers who will receive
benefits before their 65th
birthday.
Those who want to make
certain that their benefit
payments will begin on time
may apply as early as three
months before they want
benefits to start.
Benefits can be paid only
for months in which a
person meets the eligibility
requirements throughout
the entire month.
To speed the processing of
their applications for Social
Security benefits, ap
plicants should bring to the
Social Security office: their
Social Security card; birth
certificate; a marriage
certificate (for those ap
plying for a wife’s, widow’s,
or widower’s benefits);
children’s birth certificates
(if children are also ap
plying); and records of
earnings (W 2 forms or tax
returns) during the
preceding 2 years.
In addition, persons ap
plying for disability benefits
should have the names,
addresses, and telephone
numbers of the doctors who
treated them and the
medical facilities where
they were treated for then
disabilities.
People who do not have all
these documents should not
delay applying for benefits.
It is possible that other
records could serve the
same purpose.
Applicants can learn what
other documents may be
stimitted by calling the
Elizabeth City Social
Security office at 338 • 2161.

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Friends Committee with a
discourse on his recently
completed master’s
paper devoted to
Governor David Stone’s
library. Stone, Hope
Plantation’s original
owner and a controversial
politician of the late
Federalist period, had
amassed an outstanding
collection of more than 1,400
volumes at the the time of
his early death in 1818 at age
48. This fact, accordingto
Anthony, is significant)when
juxtaposed to
acknowledgement that only
one other private library of
the period in North Carolina
had attained comparable
proportions. The library of
Samuel Johnston at Hayes
Plantation, Edenton,
boasted approximately one
thousand volumes but was
the result of the efforts of
three men spanning three
generations.
, Hi Equally notable in Stone’s
.collection is the variety of
titles evident through the
governor’s estate inventory.
This inventory, now located
among state archives in
Raleigh, was compiled after
Stone’s death as required
by law in the absence of a
will.
Sparsely descriptive and
often illegibly written by the
19th century auctioneers
,
charged with dispensing
Stone’s estate, the inventory
nonetheless provided An
thony his primary resource
in researching the full
bibliographical
documentation of 336 library
titles.
Hope Foundation mem
bers have affirmed the
importance of Anthony’s
extensive research to the
Foundation and particularly
to the Friends of Hope
Page 9-B
Committee, whose ongoing
project is to restore to the
library as many of the in
ventoried titles as possible.
Since the project began
several years ago, com
mittee members have been
able to place approximately
65 volumes. Aided by An
thony’s research, it is ex
pected that this tedious task
will be much lightened and
be made unquestionably
more authentic.
