Medlin Serves As
Navy Crewmember
Navy Machinist's Mate
Fireman Michael C. Medlin,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Dolly G.
Medlin of Norlina, is serving
as a crewmember aboard
the Navy's newest aircraft
carrier.
The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower
was commissioned
Oct. 18 at the Naval Station,
Norfolk, Va.
Medlin is one of more than
3,300 officers and enlisted
men assigned to the Eisenhower.
Displacing more
than 94,000 tons, she can
travel at speeds in excess of
30 knots. In addition to her
regular crew, the Eisenhower
can accommodate 100
tactical aircraft and approximately
2,800 personnel
assigned to an attack
aircraft wing.
The Eisenhower is the
second ship in the "Nimitz"
class of aircraft carriers.
She is named for the late
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
and along with the
Nimitz, shares the distinction
of being the largest
naval vessels ever built.
The Eisenhower will be
homeported in Norfolk, Va.
Medlin joined the Navy in
March. 1975.

Jacob Holt House
Is Deeded To Town
The deed to the historic
Jacob Holt house was
officially recorded in the
Warren County Register of
Deeds office last week,
thereby making the 19th
century home the property
of Warrenton.
Notice of the deed
transfer, delayed somewhat
due to paperwork, will be
sent to the State Department
of Archives and
History which is to supervise
the town's restoration
efforts.
A team from that department
will conduct research
and archeological studies
when time permits although
actual work may not begin
on the house until sometime
in the spring, guessed town
manager Bill Davis who cosigned
the deed with
Warrenton Mayor W. A.
Miles last Wednesday morning.
"The archives department
may allow us to
stabilize the foundations or
patch the roof in spots but I
would guess no actual work
would begin until sometime
next spring," Davis said.
Another step which the
town must take before any
changes are made in the
structure is to select an
architect to make record
drawings of the building's
interior, exterior, special
features and any other
historically relevant detail
which should be preserved.
The town has $20,000 in
state and federal grant
funds for use in restoring the
home of the Warrenton
architect who designed
many of the ante-bellum
homes here in the early to
mid-1800's.
Another grant application
for an additional $10,000
grant from the National
Park Service was submitted
last week by Davis.
He stated that archives
officials, who play a large
role in determining what
state projects most deserve
grant funds, have indicated
favorable interest" in this
most recent application.
With an appraised value
of $19,000, the house and lot
at the corner of Bragg and
Franklin Streets had been
donated to the town by
owner and town commissioner
Mrs. Anna G. Butler.
Federal and state grants,
plus private contributions,
are expected to eventually
provide $41,000 in the
restoration effort.
Renovation of the house
with grant funds will require
that the town maintain the
house to retain its historic
integrity for a period of at
least 30 years, that it be
continually administered so
that the public shall have
access to the home for at
least 12 days during the year
and that the state would
have first refusal if a
bonafide offer to sell the
property is received by the
town.
Although the town owns
the building, the Warren
County Historical Association
has asked if the town
cannot maintain the home,
that it be deeded to the
historical association.
Speculated functions include
use of the Holt house
as headquarters for the
historical association, as a
city and county information
and welcome center or as a
type of historical museum.
