S.- Public Health Service, whose chronic disease di vision he had expected to join in Jujy. He said -the federal depart ment recognized that effective local departments had to be maintained and that the local district, under Dr. Garvin, has served as a train ing ground for public health per sonnel for many years.

Outside of his immediate kin, he only knew that family tra dition was that his people came from Orange County, North Caro lina. and one of them (Tad been High Sheriff of the County for a number of years. With these clues as a tiasis for research, he began to correspond with cousins, Orange County offi cials. the North Caroling'<Archives, and eventually with a host of peo ple all over the United Skates. Be cause the Court records of Orange County have been far twitter pre served than is often the ' case, and because the officials Idndly co operated with him, and because of the interest he aroused in other kin. by 1941 he had listed several thousand descendants of; two broth ers, Samuel and Alexander Tur rttitine. These men carrte to Orange (aunty from Ireland by; way of Pen nsylvania. and settled here in 1761. A son of Alexander- was the Sheriff for about fifteen years and a grand son was Sheriff for about twenty years. Court records contain the names of all of the children of these two brothers as they served on juries, bought and sold land, mar ried and were given in marriage. In 1941, members of this family from all over the . United States gathered in Hillsboro for the first National Turrentine reunion. Mrs. Robert M. Lester was the presi dent of the family organization. At that time she and her husband. Dr. Lester, lived in New York. They have since retired and become resi dents of Chapel Hill as Mrs. Lester wanted to live in the part of the land where her family originally settled. Several hundred of these cousins enjoyed the hospitalify of the Town of Hillsboro for a memoriable week end and since that time, when pos sible, have met somewhere in the United States every two years. In 1957, another cousin, Durward T. Stokes of Graham, became in terested in a study of some of the papers of the two first brothers, and eventually discovered that their homes were on Little River in what is now the very northeast corner ol Orange County. Each brother owned about 1,000 acres of land. One of them fought in the Ameri can Revolution while the other stayed home and raised food for the Army. As the family who stayed .at the home place died out, the freed slaves in 1870, so loved their Old home that they raised the mon ey and bought the site of the ori ginal home. They live there today and their names are Turrentine. Subsequent exploration revealed a family cemetery on the place and the graves of the two brothers and their wives, well marked with home made rock tombstones, are there as well as these of many other mem bers of the family. Interest in this discovery was immediate and a fund of money was raised and the land containing the old cemetery was purchased by the Family They have since cleaned up the place, cemented the old stones for permanent preservation, and are planning other beautifica tion on the spot. In August of this year, the members of this family will again journey to Hillsboro and Chapel Hill to hold a reunion and visit the final resting place of their (See TURRENTINE, Page S) final Rites Yesterday For Mrs. Thomas Graveside services were conduct ed Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock for Mrs. I-ucille 0. Thomas, 60, wife gf Phil J. Thomas, at the Hillsboro Cemetery with the Rev. C. H. Reckard conducting. Mrs. Thomas died at her home here on the Orange Grove Road Tuesday evening following an' ex tended illness. In addition to her husband, she is survived by one, daughter Mrs. Nancy Conover of Greensboro: fivo sons, Phil J: Thomas Jr. of the home and Osborne Cheek of Dur ham; one sister, Mrsi Mary Steven son of Loray: one brother, T. Frank Osborne of Raleigh; one half-brother, R Paul Abernathy of , Black Mountain and six grandchii- j dren. —. In Orange County This Year Wildlife Plantings Total 100 Acres 100 acres of wildlife plantings have been established by 92 Or ange County farmers this y^ar, ap. cording to figures of' the local Work Unit of the Soil Conserva tion Service. 59 acres of this were permanent plantings of shrub lespedeza and sericea lespedeza. The remainder was of annual -mixtures of peas, soybeans, millet, milo, and annual lespedeza. Most of the plantings were made as field borders^-particularly on; the shaded, sapped edges of fields ; adjoining woodland. Here strips of sericea next to the field provide turnrows and farm roads as well as wildlife food and cover. The clearing of power line right-of-ways of recent months al so provided planting sites for some of the wildlife areas. Gas line right of-ways were also used, in some instances. j In addition to the 100 acres of wildlife food patches, 4 miles of multiflora rose for “living fences' were planted in the county this spring Cultivated this year and fertilized adequately for the next two or three years, these roses will produce a fence capable of holding livestock in three or four years. These fences will furnish : - ’ ideal cover and travel lanes tor rabbits and nesting place for song birds. All this planting materia] was furnished landowners by the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission. Experience has shown that the wuaiue population is uireeuy pi v portional to the food and cover available. The planting of • idle, eroding, non-productive land to wildlife food and cover, adds these acres to a productive soil and water conservation system. Grady Barnes, Biologist of the N. C. Wildlife Resources Com mission, delivers shrub and sericea lespedeza to Earl and Clarence .Lloyd for planting the newly.prepared gas line right of way for wildlife food and clover.

This in itself would require an ap proximate 34 cents per $1M in crease in taxes. The education minded crowd, how ever, unhesitatingly stood, in re sponse to one speaker’s request, to indicate their interest in mere taxes if required for better schools. A strong plea for increasing the Chapel Hill district’s tax suppls ment from 15 cents to 20 cents per $100 valuation was voiced by speak ers lead by C ha pel Hill Board Chair man Grey Culbreth, Dr. George Taylor and others. Dr. Joe Johnston, district superin. tendent, said the increased current expense budget is required to Sup plement instructional services and to provide other needs necessitated by the annexation of the Cairbore school. Turning to the capital out lay section, he said Chapel Hffi schools will require a minimum Of six new classrooms a year for their normal growth. $100,000 was in cluded this year for a six-room ad dition at Glenwood school and as an alternative, $325,000 was included for a new school and site in the event a bond issue is required. . Dr. Kemp Jones, a member of the school board, said the $100,4i0 is a desperate need or teachers will have to go out under the trees to teach by 1961. He said every avail able room, except the furnace reoit>. standard or substandard, will ha utilized next year. Dr. Taylor, temporary, chairman of the Chapel Hill PTA council, strongly endorsed the proposed bn* 8#. —d WWjtPd petitions bearing 936 names hi its support. Added support was of fered by Dr W. J. Cromartie, chair man of the Citizens Committee fbt* Schools, who presented a resolution from that group supporting the re quested ® udgetr— Other speakers in behalf of the requests included Harvey D. Ben nett, Dr Joseph Straley and Wal ter Spearman. On the basis of its budget re quest. the Chapel Hill school sys tem next year proposes to spend $238,862 in current operating ex penses. exclusive of State payments. Of this $127,386 would come- from the district supplementary taxes and other sources, and $111,476 would come from county funds.
