was later incorporated into
Elizabeth City State Teach

In 1888, Cheatham ran
successfully as a Republi
can candidate for the
Second Congressional Dis
trict of North Carolina. He
won re-election in 1890, but
was defeated in his try for a
third term.
In 1901. Cheatham re
turned to North Carolina,
settling in Oxford where he
became superintendent of a
Black orphan asylum. He
helped raise money for this
institution, and served its
interests unstintingly until
his death on November 29,
1935.
GEORGE H. WHITE
U.S. Congressman
from North Carolina
Continued from Page ]j
The last Black Congress
man in the aftermath of
Reconstruction, George H.
White was born in
Rosedale, North Carolina
on December 18, 1952.
After graduating from.
Howard University in 1877,
he taught school in his
native state and studied
law. Licensed in 1879 to
practice in all state courts,
he proved to be a brilliant
lawyer, winning several
cases against the best of his
white colleagues.
In 1880, White entered
politics - first as a member
of the North Carolina
House of Representatives
and, four years later, as
state senator. At the end of
his two-year term, he was
chosen state solicitor for
the Second Judicial Dis
trict.
While in Congress,
White championed the
cause of Negro constitu
tional liberties, and was
particularly outspoken in
denouncing lynching and
mob law. White left
Congress in 1901, and was
the last Negro to serve in
the House until Oscar De
Priest was elected from
Illinois in 1928.
Once out of politics.
White turned his energies
to the establishment of an
all-Black residential com
munity - eventually known
as Whitesboro after is
founder - near Cape May in
New Jersey. He later
retired to law practice in
Philadelphia where he died
on December 28, 1918.
DEAR MR. WOLFE:
How can two people be buried in the same grave
plot?
(Sally)
DEAR SALLY:
In some cemeteries they will dig down deep enough
so that the grave will accomodate two vaults. Each one
being put in at the time it is used.
However, the more modern method is to clear a large
area and then install several double vaults ahead of
time. To do this, usually the frame work is placed, and
then the steel reinforcement, and then the conrete is
poured. These are usually installed over drain pipes, to
assure a dry burial. At the time of the first death, the
bottom vault is sealed off. The top is put on with the dirt
and then the memorial is placed. At the time the second
person is buried the dirt and the memorial are removed
and the top vault is used and then sealed off. Then the
dirt is put back and the memorial is again placed.on top.
Each internment is completely separate, even though
they are in the same space.
DEAR MR. WOLFE;
Can eyes be donated to science if they are diseased?
(Jon)
DEAR MR. WOLFE:
DEAR JON:
YES. If there cannot be a corneal transplant because
of disease, the eyes are still used. As an example, they
are carefully studied in research in hopes of finding
causes and cures for blindness. The eye bank tells me
they can use all the eyes they can get in one way or
another.

DEAR MR. WOLFE:
Mine is not a question...but a comment about
something that just happened.
I hear that a funeral director said that families
weren't concerned about what the cemetery looked like
That families just wanted to get it over with as fast as
possible and spend as little as possible on the plot. He
also said that a lot of people never go back to the
cemetery, so what difference does it make. I also found
out that the prices he quoted the family to go to another
cemetery was wrong. He took them to a different
cemetery than the one they first wanted...and the price
was about the same, but the other one was much nicer
than the one he took the family to.
That man, with that attitude, will never get any more
business from our family and I hope I can find some
way to let my friends know how awful this man is.
(Still Fuming)
DEAR STILL FUMING:
I can only comment on your comment. Maybe some
day all Funeral Directors will realize that what happens
after disposition of the body is important...that a
funeral is more than just that fancy casket.
Memorialzation of loved ones has been importance
since the beginning of man. Just look at all the
monuments and memorials that have become famous
and tourist attractions all over the world

thousands upon thousands
of Blacks had arrived in
Kansas, meeting hostility
there some had moved on
to Missouri, Iowa, and
Nebraska. Some acquired
land under the HOME
STEAD ACT, but most
spent long periods in
poverty, aided only by the
Freemen’s Relief Associ
ation and a few donations
from Northern friends.
Some Blacks toyed with
the idea of forming a
separate State in order to
escape discrimination. The
“SEPARATE STATE” idea
was proposed in 1890 by
the TEXAS FARMERS’
COLORED ASSOCIATION,
and the OKLAHOMA
TERRITORY was the
choice. The all Black Town
of LANGSTON, OKLA
HOMA was established in
line with this idea in 1891,
and all-Black BOLEY,
OKLAHOMA was founded
in 1904.
