He was awarded a life-time membership in the American Jersey Cattle club. Mr. Hook was born in Highland county, Nov. 16, 1865, the youngest son of Benjamin Templeton and Mary Nancy Armstrong Hook.

B MISS NANCY CATHERINE BLAGG was born Nov. 26, 1844, at Doe Hill, Va., and died June ,21925[sic], at Clarendon, Va., the home of her niece, Mrs. George Brooks, with whom she had nade her home in recent years. Most of her long life was spent at the place of her birth, and all who knew her can testify to her Christian character, her kindness and helpfulness, especially in the sick room where she was always ready to minister to the suffering, or to help in any way. She was converted in early life, and joined the M. E. C. South. She loved the Sunday school and was always in her place there unless prevented by illness. She was a faithful member of the Doe Hill Missionary and Aid Societies until her removal from the neighborhood. It may be truly said of her: "She hath done what she could." Her remains were brought to Doe Hill for interment. Mrs. Brook and three children, and Rev. A. S. Blagg, of Philadelphia, accompanied the body. Funeral services were conducted on Friday, June 5th, by Rev. F. L. Morrison assisted by Rev. L. L. Lowance. The active ball-bearers were Randolph and Josiah Eagle, Ray Samples, Abner Blagg, Mason Armstrong and Ernest Hoover. The honorary pallbearers were, C. P. Waybright, W. H. Wilson, W. H. Samples and W. R. Pullin. The large concourse of people attending the funeral attested to the esteem in which she was held. The floral offering was beautiful. Mrs. Brook expected to return to her home yesterday, but her younger son developed measles, which will detain her for several days. | Blagg, Nancy Catherine (I19236)

| 5964 | The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 12 Sep 1902, p. 3, col. D John Milton Hook. The subject of this sketch was born on Bullpasture mountain five miles above McDowell July 16th, 1829. He was the third son of Robt. Hook and the family has been identified with this section for many years. On Dec. 12, 1850 he was united in marriage with Miss Dorthy Edmund who survives him. There were born to this union nine children, seven of whom survive to mourn with their aged and widowed mother a father's loss. In 1859 Mr. Hook made a profession of religion and united with the M. E. Church North on Cowpasture river. His membership remained there as long as an organization existed and in 1878 he reunited with a class at Salem. He continued to hold his membership in the Northern Communion of the M. E. church, and while cut off from his own denomination he supported not only the two churches M. E. Church South and Presbyterian at his home, but also the church of his own choice. At hit home the ministers of the Northern Methodist church always lodged in passing and found a welcome. Mr. Hook was a man of tireless energy and while at times in no condition, on account of his feeble health, to do manual labor, yet aa long as he could he was actively employed in his farming operations. Some years ago he had the misfortune to lose a hand in a threshing machine, but he seemed able notwithstanding this loss to do as much apparently as most men. By ceasless toil and economy he had prospered in worldly things and yet there was not the least astentative or display about him. He was quiet, and rather retiring in disposition, in no sense disposed to be "busybody in other men's matters." After a painful and somewhat protracted sickness Mr. Hook passed away Aug. 28th, 1902. He was during his illness, a great sufferer. He desired to be taken to the hospital and all arrangements for the journey had been made when he grew so much weaker that it became impossible. The funeral was conducted from the Methodist church. It was previously arranged to have it in the Presbyterian church but on account of the great crowd at the reunion, it was thought best to change the place. The services were conducted by Rev. J. C. Johnston assisted by Revs. M. P. Weikle and W. T. Price. The surviving members of the family are the wife, Mrs. Dorthy Hook; the children, Mrs. J. M. Ralston, Mrs. D. C. Ralston, Mrs. J. L. Fisher, Basic City, Va., T. L Hook, A. J. Hook, Frost, W. Va., Mrs. J. H. N. Cobb, Humbolt, Neb., John R. Hook, Porterville, Cal., Miss Lillian V. Hook and Geo W. Hook who reside with their mother. A brother Mr. B. T. Hook and one sister Eliza Bradshaw are left of his father's family. These all have the sympathy of many friends. J. | Hook, John Milton (I18977)

Doe Hill, May 12.- Again the death angel has visited another home and took from it a beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Benj. Hook, of the Vilna neighborhood, May 10 1903. She had been in delicate health for a number of years, and for sometime her death had been expected. She had been a worthy member of the Methodist church for 55 years, and died in the triumph of a living faith. Her funeral services will be held today in Bethel church, the officiating minister being her pastor, Rev. M. P. Weikle, near her home. She leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death.

The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 15 May 1903, p. 3, col. E Mrs. Benj. T. Hook. In addition to what is said in this issue by our Doe Hill correspondent about this good, christian woman, we add that she was a daughter of the late George Armstrong, and was a member of one of the largest and most widely known families of the county. Of her family she is survived by two sisters and three brothers, viz: Oliver and George Armstrong and Mrs. J. M. Armstrong of Fauquier county, Mrs. B. F. Jackson of Rockingham and John M.

| 5967 | The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 17 Mar 1911, p. 3, col. C PROMINENT CITIZEN DEAD. Highland county has sustained another great loss in the death of Benj. T. Hook, Esq., which occurred on Friday afternoon at his home, Vilna, on the Cowpasture River. Some ten or twelve years ago Mr. Hook suffered a partial stroke of paralysis and had been a semi-invalid ever since, unable to walk without assistance for several years. In spite of his advanced age -- nearly 85 -- and the further fact that alarming weakness of the heart had recently developed, his death came unexpectedly, dying in the arms of loved ones as they assisted him from an invalid chair to his bed. As stated above, Mr. Hook had reached a ripe old age, and during many of these years he took much interest in, and was identified with, the public affairs of the county. He held the position of Justice of the Peace for many years, and for one or two terms served as Supervisor from the Stonewall district. He was a man of most excellent judgment, read much and was well informed on public affairs, County, State and National. His views on all public questions were such as to indicate mature thought and sound judgement. He was big-hearted, kind and generous. In the broadest sense he was charitable and considerate, a friend of the deserving poor, and obliging as a neighbor in all secular and social affairs of everyday life. Mr. Hook had long been a Christian, member of the M. E. Church South. He was liberal in his support of all the institutions of the church, and the herald of the cross always found a warm welcome. In fact, his home was the synonim of hospitality, and, whether stranger, friend or kindred, his guest was accorded a warm, whole-hearted welcome. His consort, who was a daughter of the late George Armstrong, preceded him to the grave some six years ago, and he is survived by two sons - Mr. A. L. Hook, of Staunton, and Mr. George Hook, of Vilna. Mrs. Lucy Curtis, who lived with him, and who so tenderly and faithfully ministered to him during his years of infirmity and affliction, is the only surviving daughter. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the presence of all his neighbors and many relatives and friends from a distance. The service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. H. A. Wilson, and interment was in the home cemetery which overlooks the beautiful little valley where his long and useful life was spent. | Hook, Benjamin Templeton (I18976)

| 5968 | The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 19 Feb 1904, p. 2, col. B Doe Hill Doings Feb. 15 - Again it becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of an old and highly esteemed citizen, John Marshall Blagg, which occurred Feb. 14, 1904, at 5 p.m. His death was due to a complication of diseases, having been in feeble health for some time, and a great sufferer; but bore his sufferings patiently, and uncomplainingly. He was born Oct. 31, 1840, being 63 years, 3 months and 13 days old. As neighbor, he was kind and obliging, often disobliging himself, to accommodate a friend. In his home life, he was unselfish, considerate, and affectionate. His devotion to his sister and niece, who constituted the family, was remarkable. When the call was made for volunteers in the Civil war, he was among the first to answer, and in May, 1861 enlisted in Co. F, 25th Va. regiment, and was made 1st sergeant. He was a brave faithful soldier, and was one among the few who passed through the war, unscathed, never having received a scratch. He was captured in the Wilderness, and taken to Ft. Lookout, and soon after removed to Elmira, N. Y., being a prisoner 14 months. In his diary which he kept during war, are found many interesting bits of history, as well as a poem entitled, "The Dearest Spot on Earth to me is, Home Sweet Home," showing how he longed for home and loved ones. In boyhood, be joined the Sunday school at this place, of which he was a faithful member, being at the time of his death a member of the Home Department. He was converted, and joined the M E Church, South, a few years after the war, and remained a member until his death. He clung to life as all of us do, but expressed himself as being ready to go when the Lord called. He will be remembered by many, and greatly missed especially by the sick, to whom he gladly, and faithfully ministered. He is survived by two brothers, and two sisters. He will he buried from the church at this place, tomorrow, at 11 a.m. We extend to the relatives our sincere sympathy. | Blagg, John Marshall (I19234)

| 5970 | The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 22 Sep 1916, p. 3, col. C Gone to His Reward After suffering more or less from a fatal disease of which he was seemingly unconscious, although he knew that from several causes his vitality was rapidly slipping away, James B. Bradshaw, well known farmer, cattle dealer and proprietor of the famous "Mansion House" at McDowell, passed away at half past ten Thursday evening September 7th. Mention was made in the columns of the Recorder of Mr. Bradshaw going to a Richmond hospital to seek relief from his suffering. The case proved too well developed for the surgeon's skill; small operation was preformed that prolonged his life a few days enabling him to reach home before the end came. He bore his infirmities cheerfully and uncomplainingly, his chief thought being the comfort of others, and only those nearest him knew his condition. Mr. Bradshaw was born Sept. 16, 1844. He was a type of the old school southern man who believed in the sovereignty of God, the faithfulness of friends, the chivalry of men, purity and sweetness of womanhood and loyalty to the southern cause. He was a consistent member of the Williamsville Baptist church and was always interested in any christian work giving liberally of his time and means for the advancement of the kingdom of God. As a friend hs was faithful and true. He will long be remembered by patrons of the hospitable "Mansion House" where many a weary traveler has been refreshed, not only by comfortable accommodations and good food, but encouraging words from their discerning host; not only the traveling people will miss him, but those who lived about him, old and young, high and low, anyone in trouble would find a helpful friend in Mr. Bradshaw. He had high ideals of chivalry in men, abhorving [sic] rudeness of any sort. His respect for pure womanhood was strong, always shielding and wishing to see her shielded in everway. He was a brave soldier and was loyal to his southland to the end; there was no bitterness in his heart. He enlisted in the cause of State rights in November 1862, Co. F. 11th Virginia cavalry, (Bath Squadrom.) [sic] Was wounded in a cavalry fight below Woodstock in 63. His horse was shot down under him the second day of the battle of the Wilderness. He suffered hunger and hardships as anyother brave soldier, continuing in service until the surrender at Appomatox April 9, 1865. The burial services were conduct in the Presbyterian church by Rev. H. B. cross, of the Staunton Baptist, assisted by Rev. Lyle M. Moffett, after which the body was conveyed by a large concourse of friends and laid to rest beside that of his brother Robt. R. Bradshaw, near his old home several miles below McDowell who lost his life in the battle at Port Repulic. His last days were peaceful and his friends knew that "tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place the flood might bear him far, he hoped to meet his Pilot face to face when he had crossed the bar." He is survived by his wife and five children, Mrs. S. W. Wilson, Orin Bradshaw, chas. P., Harry L., and Josephine; two sisters Mrs. Burns, of Ohio, Mrs. Roudebush, of Harrisonburg; two brothers Jasper N., of Williamsville, and Stephen B., of clover creek. The active pall bearers: D.

He departed this life on December 24, 1930. He was the youngest child of John and Eliza Hook Bradshw. His father and mother preceded him to the grave many years.

Va., Harry Bradshaw of Bluefield, W. Va., Mrs. Lula Hicklin of Red Star, W. Va., and Mrs. Mary Jane Helms of Flood, Va. Mr. Bradshaw received his early education in the public schools of Highland County and later studied surveying in which capacity he was most capable and accurate. He was a staunch democrat and believed in the principles of his party and was true to his convictions of right and wrong characteristic of his family. His great grandfather John Bradshaw was actively engaged in the seige of Yorktown, Va., and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va. He traced his lineage back to John Bradshaw Commonwealth Judge and President of the High Court of Justice for the trial of King Charles I of England who later became Lord President Council of State and was buried in Westminster Abbey, Eng. Mr. Bradshaw will be greatly missed Jin his home, community and county. He was interested in all the affairs of this county and took an active part to make condition better in his community. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Bradshaw was only 10 years old but he could relate many and interesting incidents of that horrid war, it being more indelably stamped on his mind by his three older brothers being actively engaged. James and Jasper in the cavalry and Robrt [sic] in the infantry. He was a great student of history and his memory of activities of the Southern Generals, Robert Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Longstreet was unsurpassed. He was pleasnt in mnnner [sic] and had a cordial greeting for every ne [sic] who came to his home. Never a wanderer left his home empty handed. He was kind to the unfortunate and lent encouragement to the distressed. His home was one of true Southern hospitality. He took great delight in having visitors and feasting with them. Although he never affiliated himself with any church, he was a regular church attendant and believed the Bible from cover to cover. He believed in the old time religion irrespective of denomination. No one knows this better than the writer who has sat by his side many hours in conversation on every subject and who cherishes his belief and advice. He cherished and defended the wisdom and ability of his wife and respected the opinions of his children. He was laid to lest in the beautiful cemetery at Clover Creek overlooking the Bullpasture valley. There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death! The leaves may fall, And flowers may fade and pass away; They only wait through wintry hours The coming of the May. There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; He bears our best-loved things away; And then we call them dead. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life — there are no dead By His Daughter— Lula | Bradshaw, Stephen Blaine (I25113)

| 5975 | The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 31 Jul 1931, p. 2, col. D PROMINENT, RESPECTED COMMUNITY'S CITIZEN ENTERS "LAND BEYOND" John A. Rea, one of the best known and most beloved citizens of this community, passed away Thursday evening about 7:30 o'clock at the Livermore sanitarium, where he had been for the past three weeks following an illness that forced him to take leave from his position as assistant cashier at the Gilroy branch of the Bank of America. For a time he made steady progress toward recovery, but on last Sunday evening he took a sudden relapse and from that time to the moment that his life flickered out, his wife and other near relatives were constantly at his bedside while his countless friends at home waited and hoped for good news, but in vain, for in spite of the diligent and never failing efforts of his physicians and nurses, the summons came and John Rea passed into eternal sleep. John "Toesch" Rea, was as nearly a part of this community as any individual could be. Born in Gilroy on September 11, 1865 [sic], he was educated in the local schools, graduating from high school in 1914. He had planned to continue through college but was persuaded to accept a position in the Bank of Gilroy, and his acceptance of that offer was the beginning of a successful banking career which was eliminated only in death. Rea was a valued officer at the local institution, and was advanced to the position of confidence and trust which he occupied when sickness interferred, about two years ago by the then Bank of Italy, which previously had absorbed the old Bank of Gilroy. His service at the bank was only interrupted by the call to arms in 1917 when Rea enlisted in the army and was stationed at Macon and Jacksonville, Florida, as first sergeant in the quartermaster corps until after the armistice in 1918. Seven years ago Rea was married to Miss Josephine Bradshaw, which proved a happy union, the couple celebrating their anniversary in January of this year. The ceremony was performed in San Jose by Achdeacon Noel Porter, who will also deliver the funeral oration tomorrow. Surviving the deceased are his widow, Mrs. Josephine Rea; his mother, Mrs. Catherine Rea; and these brothers and sisters, all of Gilroy: Mrs. John Radin, Miss Virginia Rea, Fred J. Rea and Rocky Rea. The funeral will be held Saturday morning, July 4, at 10:30 o'clock and will be under the joint auspices of the Gilroy lodge of Elks, and the American Legion, organizations with which Rea was most actively affiliated. He was a charter member in both of these fraternities and since the institution of the Elks lodge here has been its treasurer. He was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and for years was the representative of the Swiss Benovelant Society — Gilroy Evening Dispatch. Mrs. Rea, who was Miss Josephine Bradshaw, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bradshaw, of McDowell has a host of friends in Highland and other parts of Virginia, who deeply sympathize with her in this sad bereavement. | Rea, John Arnold "Toesch" (I49553)
