Emry Park Is Name Of Subdivision Sold At Auction Sale Here Miss Juanita Taylor Wins $25 Prize Miss Juanita Taylor, librarian at the local high school, won the $25 prize for submitting the name cho sen for a real estate development, lots of which were sold at auction here last Saturday morning through the Rochelle Realty Company of this city. Ike Rochelle, head of the agency, stated that the new sub-division for the city will bo known as “Em ry Park”, name submitted by Miss Taylor. Miss Taylor said she admitted that name for the following rea sons: “Although Roanoke Rapids is a young city, few people other than the older citizens know the names of the outstanding persons who were associated with the early growth of the city. Some of these were: Major Thomas L. Emry, of Halifax and Weldon, John Arm strong Chaloner of New York, W. S. Parker of Henderson, Gustavus Millhiser of Richmond, Va., Charles Cohen and James M. Mullen of Pe tersburg, Va., John L. Patterson and S. P. Patterson of Winston Salem, and W. M. Hobliston of Richmond, Va. *A good way to get the citizens of our town to become 'history conscious’ would be to name new streets and developments for some outstanding figure in the history Of the city. Some one must have had the same idea when the new development near the Junction was named for John Armstrong Chai der, who was the founder of this city in 1893. “I suggest that the new sub-di vision be named ‘Emry Park’. To Major Thomas L. Emry belongs the honor of discovering in 1891 the advantage of Roanoke Rapids (at that time called “Great Falls.”) as a manufacturing site. His name is associated with the magic city and he should be remembered as one of the greatest potentialities in its development and growth. He died September 8, 1910.” Rochelle stated that the auction sale of the property, part of the T. Lee Whitaker estate, was very successful.
