He had a very remarkable memory and his records have been , found to be so accurate that they are , accepted by any historical society in ] the world, if you can find your line ; included in his works. The last num ber of volume three was never com pleted, because of illness. He died at , the home of his only son, Dr. Burton W. Hathaway in Bertie County, at the age of 63, before resuming his research, which accounts for the third volume only having three numbers. Judge Hathaway contributed much of his time to the services of Eden ton, having served as Mayor for at least four terms in the 80’s. He held the office in 1866, in 1880-82 and 1885. He was a staunch Methodist and he and his wife and daughter “Miss Rena” Hathaway were largely responsible for the building of the present Methodist Church on Main Street. One of Miss Rena’s methods for raising money for this purpose was to make “pulled-sugar” candy and she became expert on this particular kind.

Soon after the Civil War, Judge Hathaway engaged in the mercantile business, having a large trade in gen eral merchandise. Later he had a General Collecting and Business Agen cy in which he enjoyed an extensive patronage, his relations for collection and other purposes extended to Ply mouth, Jamesville, Williamston, Ham ilton, Windsor, Colerain, Harrellsville, Gatesville, Winton and Hertford, in which places he had resident corres pondents. Besides his general collect ing and business agency he bought and greatly enlarged cotton receipts at this point. He was considered to be a man of shrewd, marked and safe business talent. Later he engaged in the banking business, the bank being located on the present site of Herbert Leary’s la# office. It was the first private bank in Chowan County—the onlv banking institution in immediate vi cinity. It was known as a “Counting House” and served all the surround ing counties. There were many jokes told on Judge Hathaway as a banker. It was a one man bank and late in the afternoon Judge Hathaway would lock his vault .and start home. If he should meet a merchant or business man on the street who wanted to make a deposit, the Judge would take the money, give the man a receipt on the back of an envelope, carry the money home and put it in his desk and take it to the bank next day. He , always took “his books” home with him at night, under his arm. with his overcoat hung across his shoulders like a cape. That was one-man bank- J ing and quite different from our bank- . ing of today. j He received his schooling at Belvi- j, dere Academy in Perquimans County, j the Quaker School that so many young men of that period attended. He was bom February 9th, 1841 and married j, on January 23, 1861 (not quite twen- „ ty years old) so unless he did like c our modem G.l.’s and took his bride t off to school with him, he did not get , time to attend any school long, not withstanding the fact that he was an r exceptionally well-read person and was a noted for his flair jfor mathematics. He was known to have a remarkable memory for dates and could walk through a cemetery, reading data and never making a note, but could come home and record the dates and data without making an error. J. R. B. Hathaway's granddaughter, Margaret Hathaway Jones, (Mrs. Johz Meredith Jones. Sr.) is his only des cendant living in Edenton. There are three other granddaughters, Mrs. Ar nette Hathaway Avery, (Mrs. L. T.) of Southern Pines, N. C.; Mrs. Eliza beth Townsend of Norfolk, Va., and Mrs. Agnes Burton Hathaway Sutton, (Mrs. W. F.) of Kinston, N. C.; six great-grandchildren, and three great great-grandchildren. There are also niece and several great-nieces and nephews, the grandchildren of his only sister, the late Mrs. Joseph Amiss, nee Joyce E. R. Hathaway. About six months ago the bodies of Judge Hathaway’s father. Burton Walker Hathaway, and his mother, Sarah Ann Bent Hathaway, were re moved from the old abandoned Meth odist graveyard on Oakum Street to Beaver Hill Cemetery after being in terred ninety-six years. Mr. Hathaway’s first paternal an cestors, of which there is a record, was Arthur Hathaway who was mar ried in 1652 to Sarah Cooke, who was the granddaughter of Francis Cooke, who come over as a Pilgrim and land ed at Plymouth, Mass., in 1620.

It is not inconceivable that the new leadership for which the world craves may arise from within the Christian church.

I The editors of Fortune called Mr. Orkin the “Chain Siore Extermina ;tor” and this title has stuck. I Mr. Orkin attributes his success to 'a motto which Look Magazine recent ly quoted: “Behind every door there’s | a prospect.” ■ Fortune’s article stated: “Surpris jingly, Americans spend over S7O mil jlion annually for general pest control (agricultural insecticides excluded). I These are the professional extermina tors and of this market Otto Orkin gets almost 10 cents of every $1 spent, making Orkin the General Motors of this business.” Orkin now operates 300 offices in j 26 states, the District of Columbia and the island of Cuba, serving over 3,000 j communities. —adv.
