Tribute Is Paid To A Charter Member
Os Thursday Afternoon Book Club
A tribute to Mrs. H. O. Mattox,
only living charter member of the
Thursday Afternoon Book Club, was
read by Mrs. Durham Taylor
a meeting held recently at the
home of, Mrs. J. A. McLeod.
Following Is a transcript of the
tribute:
“Today brings to a close the
forty-first anniversary of the
Thursday Afternoon Book Club.
Therefore, we felt that It would
be fitting to honor its only charter
member—Mrs. H. O. Mattox. Mrs.
Mattox helped organize this club
in 1910, and throughout the years
she has held offices in the club
and shown her interest by taking
part in many of its programs.
“She became a citizen of Dunn
several years before the organiza
tion of this club, in the days of the
“Shoe Fly” and the “Short Dog".
In fact, I think Mrs. Mattox ar
rived in Dunn around six o’clock
one morning, on the “Shoe Fly”,
and lived for a shorttime at the
old Divine Hotel, which few of us
know anything about except from
the old timers.
“Mrs. Mattox immediately show
ed her progressive spirit by be
coming interested in the town af
fairs and affiliating herself with
the Divine Street Methodist
Church. From all i gather she
made and sold many a sandwich,
cake and/pie to help raise funds to
meet the payments on the present
building. The love of her church
has ever held a large place in her
heart.
“Mrs. Mattox also showed leader
ship in the activities of the
Woman’s Club, which was organ
ized around 35 years ago. She was
its first treasurer and since that
time she has held many offices
and served on many committees.
To her should be given the credit
of holding the club together dur

ing one of its most crucial periods.
I remember when the membership
of the club felt that because of
lack of interest and other circum
stances the club should disband.
Mrs. Mattox was not willing for
this to happen, so she accepted
the office of president and held it
together with occasional executive
meetings for a period of about two
years. After this the club started
its regular'meetings with renewed
interest and today the club is
active and plans to build a club
house sometime in the near future.
Mrs. Mattox continues to show her
interest and enthusiasm in the
club’s activities.
“Her home has been a mecca
for many young couples seeking to
make Dunn their home. There they
found such a welcome and hap
piness that some have remained
throughout the years. One young
daughter was born in the home
and now bears her name—Nell.
She even gave shelter to a young
Baptist minister who considered it
home to the extent that when he
entered World War I and received
his uniforms his civilian clothes
were sent back to the Mattox
home.
“In the days when nurses were
few Mrs. Mattox graciously and
frequently gave her time and
strength in nursing the sick in the
neighborhood and community.
People felt free to call on her be
cause of her willingness to serve
and her ability to care for the sick
and afflicted.
“In the midst of her many ac
tivities she has always found time
to grow flowers. We remember
her lovely red roses and her beau
tiful potted plants that have al
ways graced her porch. Today I
wish to pin an orchid on Nell
Allen Mattox in deep appreciation
for all she has meant to the mem
bers of this club, past and present.”
Mrs. Weslfey Fowler is a patient
