towns.
The ladies of the group wear full
skirted green dresses that swirl
about dancing ankles in the Vir
ginia Reel and other beautiful
old dances.
“The chaplain of the group is
the Rev. F. H. Chapman, a re
tired Presbyterian minister, na
tive of Iowa. Pianist is Mrs. H. F.
Maness. There is a little service
and much singing of hymns and
familiar favorites at each meeting.
The Rev. Mr. Chapman who was
born in 1877, is a graceful ahd
popular waltzer with the ladies,
gliding smoothly over the polish
ed floor of the huge Recreation
Center.
“At this particular March meet •
ing, the ladies had prepared a
substantial banquet. An impres
sive arrangement of Spring flow
ers graced the center table. There
was a birthday cake, a singing
telegram, cards, gifts—it was a
gala event—a very, very happy
birthday. And Mr. Jesse, look
ing like Carl Sandburg, led the
dancing, called the figures, kissed
the ladies and shook hands wiih
the men. There were sixteen
members of his family present,
including a grand-daughter and
a great-grand-daughter.
“And Mr. Jesse must have had
the gayest memories of all as he
thought of the 92nd birthday par
ty where ninety-two friends had
each told him in their separate
way of how much sunshine he
had brought into the grayness of
their days. For Mr. Jesse Page is
Charlotte’s most honored citizen.
He has been a golden gift from
Moore County, one whom Moore
in turn can rightly consider the
Most Worthwhile Son the county
has ever. given the world, who
at eighty began to make a whole
new world for others.”
