School's top two seniors ad
dressed their graduating
I class June 3 at the ?983
Commencement exercises in
the Kenan Memorial Audi
torium in Kenansville. Andy
Futreal and Marcia Boone
were the 1983 valedictorian
and salutatorian.
Marcia Boone
1 The topic addressed by
Salutatorian Marcia Boone
was the role community
adults and education pli!y in
influencing and molding the
lives of school-age young
people. Andy Futreal, vale
dictorian, thanked those who
constructively influenced his
class and he encouraged
each graduate to always do
their best. Both honor
1 graduates have definite
goals; Marcie plans a career
as a pediatrician and Andy,
an environmental engineer.
However, their most impor
tant goal may be plans to
return to Duplin County in
their prospective career
fields after college.
"I decided 1 wanted to be a
doctor when I was in the
fourth grade." Marcia Boone
I said. "Being a doctor will
allow me to combine my love
for children and science.
And, I will not only be
rewarded financially as a
doctor but emotionally."
Marcia graduated with a
95.22 grade point average
and plans to attend the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. "My biggest
fear as I enter college is not
having anyone to listen ?
I that I will become one of
many and no one will care.
"I think our teachers and
the adults within the com
munity did a good job bring
ing up our class. Most of the
1983 seniors have a lot of
self-confidence and are well
rounded individuals with
ability to do a number of
things well." Marcia said.
Andy Futreal graduates
with a 95.33 grade point
average at James Kenan
High School. He plans to
attend the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte.
Andy pointed out the
decision to pursue a technical
career is due to his interest in
physics, but for many of his
classmates, the choice of a
technical career over the
liberal arts was made in
hopes of finding employment
after graduation from col
lege.
Andy Futreal
we (seniors) are an con
cerned about getting a job
after college," Andy Futreal
said. "1 read something
every day in the newspapers
about unemployment. We
are aware of the serious un
employment problems and
many of us have chosen
study in technical fields over
the liberal arts. There are a
lot of students whose in
terests lie in the liberal arts,
but we recognize the fact that
the jobs are just not there. I
feel that our class is as
prepared as we can be for
college. And. we are anxious
to find out things for our
selves."
Andy leaves James Kenan
with awards in chemistry,
biology and advanced
biology, physics, American
and world history, and
English. He was president of
the drama club, participated
in the Quiz Bowl, selected
Rotary Student of the Month,
a member of the National
Honor Society, and a More
head nominee. The Artemis
Paschal Scholarship at UNC
Charlotte, where he will at
tend in the fall, was awarded
to Andv. He is the son of
Kenneth and Barbara
Futreal of Warsaw.
Marcia is the daughter of
James and Edna Boone of
Warsaw. She has served as
president of the National
Honor Society and chorus.

coming Queen by her fellow
classmates, served as a
varsity cheerleader, and was

Teenager by the local
jaycees. She received the
DAR Good Citizen Award
and was selected as a Rotary
Student of the Month.

ship, Zambo Club Scholar
ship, Johnston Award and

Scholarship.

O. Moore Story
Thomas Overton Moore's
vary is that of a Tar Heel
who made good after going
far South ? to Louisiana.
Born in April 1804 near the
village of Turkey, Moore was
educated in his home county
a few miles south of Golds
boro before leaving at the
age of 25 to live with his
uncle, Walter H. Overton in
Rapides Parish. La.
One of young Moore's
paternal ancestors had been
politically prominent. James
M<x)re, who had emigrated
from Ireland in the 1600s,
had become governor of the
Carolinas in 1700. On his
mother's side, he was a
descendant of William
Overton who came to Vir
ginia from England about
1670.
On arrival in Louisiana.
Thomas Moore took over the
management of his uncle's
sugar plantations, and at a
later date bought his own
plantation which became a
successful business venture.
Moore was as active as a
family man as he was in
business and politics. In 1830
he married Bethia Jane
Leonard and fathered five
children.
After serving in the politi
cal arena in Rapides Parish
for a number of years. Moore
was elected to the Louisiana
State House of Represen
tatives in 1848. His political
rise thereafter was fairly
rapid ? he was elected to the
Louisiana Senate in 1856 and
in 1859 won his Democratic
ticket race for the state's
Ketchup was once sold as a medicine.
governor despite being
opposed bv another popular
Democrat, Thomas J. Wells.
According to the Diction
ary of American Biography,
Moore was "in disposition
fiery and inclined to be
exacting and uncompro
mising. (but) nevertheless a
through politician who
played the political game
with great zest and effec
tiveness."
Typical of his zest for
taking action was his deci
sion early in 1861 to order
state troops to take Fort
Jackson and St. Philip on the
Mississippi River below New
Orleans, as well as Fort Pike
on the Rigolets and the bar
racks and aresnal at Baton
Rouge. This he did, rightly
surmising that the Louisiana
legislature would soon adopt
a secession ordinance.
After the secession ordi
nance was adopted. Moore
promptly took further mea
sures to make Louisiana an
active member of the Con
federacy. He directed the
organization of local defense
companies, established
supply depots, and had
packing plants built in order
to provide provisions for
Confederate soldiers.
Confederate President
Jefferson Davis asked for
3.000 troops from Louisiana
and Moore in April 1861
issued a call for 5,000 troops
in addition to those re
quested by Davis.
Following the capture of
New Orleans by Federal
troops in June. 1862,
Moore's administration was
disrupted, but Moore con
tinued to govern central and
northern Louisiana. He
moved his capital from Baton
Rouge to Opelousas and later
to Shreveport and functioned
as governor of unoccupied
areas until the end of his
????????IBM
appointed term in early 1864.
In his final days as gover
nor. he issued strict guide
lines laying down non-frat
ernization measures to be
followed by Louisiana resi
1 '? ?they were forbidden
to trade with the enemy, to
enter Federal lines, to bear
Federal passports, or to ac
cept or use Federal money.
It was at this time too, in
the spring of 1864, that
Moore suffered heavy per
sonal losses. His plantation
in Rapides Parish was con
fiscated by Federal authori
ties and his home and sugar
mill destroyed. In the
summer of 1865, following
the issuance of an arrest
order. Moore fled to Havana.
Cuba, the refuge point for
many Confederate leaders
seeking to avoid capture and
trial.
Eventually, through the
intercession of friends,
Moore, then in his early 60s.
was allowed to return to
Louisiana with a full pardon.
Until his death in 1876.
Moore spent the last decade
in his life attempting to
restore his plantation and to
recoup his lost fortune. He
never entered the political
I l=MK=^3tK
arena again, and died at age
72 on his plantation near
Alexandria.
The historic marker in the
center of Turkey is a visible
reminder that one of Samp
son County's young men
journeyed south more than
ISO years ago to find fortune
and defeat in what was then
the rich sugar country of
Louisiana.
