Page 2-A Furnishings Needed The Iredell House needs furniture! ' Participsnts atUmMne the second biennial BTdsatou Symposium recently were asked to help with the furnishings of the James Iredell House mow one of the state’s historic sites. Home of the noted Revolutionary leader and Supreme Court judge, the house, built circa 1775, stands as a monument to the early IbfcJi Abort Ihfe Have you ever thought how lonely Jesus was while He completed His mission on earth Think about the hay of His bed, the stable over His head at the night of His Virgin birth Think about His leaving His mother and family when He knew His time had arrived And the sorrow in His heart and the tears in His eyes when His beloved friend Lazarus died Think abut the time He was praying at Gethasemine and told His disciples beware Even His closest companions, the only friends He could trust, could not His burden bear How about the ten lepers He had healed, only one came back with gratitude Can’t you see the compassion and the sorrow He felt at the others attitudes Jesus is the same yesterday and today If there’s sin in your life, my friend Then Jesus’ blood will clear it away and His comforter He will said If you’ll ask and remember the pain on the cross with love for you He bore And tell Him, “My Jesus, I’m lonely too, won’t you forgive, I open the door’’ The tears in His eyes and the compassion for you is still in His heart today He’s promised He’ll enter and a new creature you’ll be and in your life He’ll stay The loneliest man there ever YSS can turn the tide of your life —•* * •« ' • • • ?< 'Look -ifltb HIS eyes*“at the compassion He has for your trials and troubles and strife The angels in Heaven will rejoice over you one siner who’s repented of sin And my brother you too will feel the angels joy when our sweet Jesus enters in Now begin your new life with the bread of the word Feed your soul with the Bible each day And when King Jesus returns for His beloved church, In Heaven, forever, you’ll stay Praise God, I love you brother, wonderous times are ahead for us I thank God for you now, and in Jesus name I pray, that in Him you’ll love and trust BETH WILLIS Colerain Tte Seven& Seven. ■B That’s Seagram’s 7 and 7 Up. §4l The Seven & Seven.

In IMB the Edenton Tea Party Chapter, National Daughters of the American Revolution, purchased the house to save it from possible demolition, hi 1951, the State of North Carolina assumed ownership and has maintained the house with the cooperation of the DAR and James Iredell Association. Restoration of the house is expected to be completed in the near future, and proper furnishings are a must. Since the James Iredell Association, the DAR, and the Division of Archives and History, like most restoration organizations, have limited funds, and because of the spiraling prices of antiques, it is nearly impossible for the groups to acquire quality furnishings that the I redells might have owned. So the appeal for tax deductible donations of furnishings or cash went out to symposium participants and the general public. Since no records specify the furnishings used in the Iredell House, it will be furnished as a typical 1770-1825 Edenton town residence. A guide just issued, based upon extensive research using period sources, outlines the many and varied needs for the restoration. The organizations involved urgently request the help of everyone in preserving a portion of North Carolina’s and the nation’s heritage. Some of the items listed in the guide include furniture pieces such as Chippoidale style four post bed, American or English, 1770-1790, mahogany; Sheraton style field bed with arched canopy, American, 1790-1810, mahogany; Queen Anne or Chippendale style wing chair, American or English, 1750-1780, walnut or mahogany; 4-6 Chippendale style side chairs, American, North Carolina, Philadelphia, or New York origin, 1770-1685, walnut or mahogany; Sheraton style chest of drawers, American, New York or New England origin, 1810-1820—and the list goes on, including desks, mirrors, tables. Also in the guide, in addition to furniture items, are listed ceramics and glass, between 1770-1825; glassware, such as tattles, salts, wine rinsers; metalware, including fireplace equipment; lighting devices; lanterns, lamps and •anripjahra: dining utensils and other silreTwarO} and -kitchen utensils between 1780-1820. Textiles, including bedcovers, floor coverings, and needlework—examples of schoolgirl samplers or other pieces, between 1790-1815. are also needed. Michael O. Smith, furnishings specialist with the Department of Cultural Resources, emphasizes that the Division of Archives and History is always glad to learn about objects related to the Iredell family or those with an origin or long history of use in the Edenton area. Inquiries should be addressed to Smith at the Department of Cultural Resources, 109 E. Jones St., Raleigh, N. C. 27611.
