Text Any textual data included in the document 1916 Flood on the Catawba River It was on one Sunday (Saturday?) eve, many hearts were made to grieve By the story I shall tell 'Twas the 16th of July and Catawba's floods were high from the awful rain that fell. Long and constant poured the rain till each brooklet, creek, and drain made a torrent deep and wide Then Catawba, from her head, By these dashing torrents fed roughly rolled and undefied. Bridge and trestle swept away, dams and houses too, they say, Till they reached the Southern Main; there the railroad called a crew To save its trains and trestles too, but their efforts were in vain. Few, if any tears were shed when their parting words were said, As the workmen left their home, Naught, or little, did they dream that Catawba's maddened stream Should engulf them in her gloom. [second page of song]: In an instant all was crashed, as the heaps of rubbish clashed 'Gainst the trestle's might piers. twenty men in all went down, Chances were to swim or drown; then came sobs and screams and tears. When this tragic message spread, of the missing and the dead, Swiftly night was coming on hands were wrung and hair was torn; Men must work and women mourn for their loved ones lost and gone. Thanks to God not all were drowned, some could swim and reach the ground, Others lodged and still were brave; but, when dams above were crushed, Afterwhile their pleadings hushed, for, they found a watery grave. While your Lord and loved ones plead, now, my sinner friend, take heed; Cleanse yourself from sin and crime. You are but a workman too, on lifes road and trestle crew, moving o'er the River of Time.

Cut apples down to the core. The bruised spots are alright to use. Cut off bad places. Put apples in a vessel and pour hot water up to a little over top of apples. Turn on high and turn down in a while. Stir to get top on the bottom (to get well cooked). Cook till apples are done. Let cool. Stir while cooling if you want to. Strain thru colander till all juice is in a vessel. Then strain again thru a sack (old time flour sack) mashing what pummies and chaff is left from the first straining. (The juice needs to be fairly pure.) Take a dry glass and measure how many it takes, then measure the same amount of sugar and put it in the juice which is now in the vessel you'll cook in. Stir the sugar which is in the juice before [reverse]: placing over the fire. Turn on high if using electric stove. When it starts to boil and foam if it gets too high in the pan turn heat down till the foam gets lower so it won't boil over then turn heat back up and and use spoon to go around top of foam so it won't come over. Don't stir the juice. Sometimes the foam will go down when its about ready to come off. You can dip spoon and let some drip off and about tell if its thick enough. According to how many apples have been used it might take thirty minutes or less. Before cooking set glasses you will use for jelly beside the pan so that they will be fairly hot when jelly is ready. Put a spoon in each glass before pouring hot jelly so it won't break. Let jelly get cool before closing lid.

Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Aunt Lou Brookshire Lula Holsclaw Brookshire was born into a bootlegging,singing family on Duck Creek, near Draco in Caldwell County. Her father and uncle sang many old songs and when she was young her and her sisters would sing the old ballads while on the look out for revenuers. Her sister Mary who knew most of the older ballads died several years ago, yet Aunt Lou as we call her was one of the most singing persons I ever knew. Only a year or so ago she had a stroke which paralyzed her left side so she'll never pluck an instrument again. In 1933 she won a great banjo pickers contest in Washington State. She's one of the singing Holy Rollers that ever lived. Besides being a folk singer, she is a poet and composer in her own right. Her brother Henry wrote two songs years ago which were eventually published in N.C. Folklore "Blockaders Trail" (which had an erroneous history of Henry) and a fragment of another composition of his about the 1916 flood in the Brushy Mts. He also wrote of the death of Florence Sutphin a girl murdered by Charlie Walker near the Lower Creek community on Highway 90 (the murderer was 1st cousin to the father of a girl I once went with). But Lou remembers many songs she heard as a child such as "The Little Mohee," "The Wreck of Old Ninety-Seven" (which she learned from her uncle in the 1st ten years of this century, being the longest, truest version I've found). "The Golden Willow Tree," "Three Little Boys," "Jews Daughter," "Gypsy Davy-O" [second page of entry]: She remembers part of "Edward" known as "Blood On Your Shirtsleeve," but adamantly declares there is a verse before the usual beginning "How come that blood on your shirtsleeve." She thought the tune to it was one way & decided it went to something else. It was the tune of the Yancey County version of "Fair Ellender" but she doesn't know that song, yet remembers a snatch of "He took her by the lily white hand And led her from the Hall. And with his sword cut off her head And kicked it against the wall." She remembered the 1st verse of "Jimmy Randolf" ("Lord Randall") "Oh where've you been rambling Jimmy Randolf my son. Oh where've you been a rambling my handsome young one I've been to the wildwood, mother make my bed soon, for I'm weary with hunting and want to lie down." I believe she must have known two versions at one time of "Sailor Boy" for at different times I've heard her sing certain stanzas 2 ways, coming up with an inconsistency when confusing the two. One: "Oh no kind miss, he sails not here. He got drowned in the deep I fear." "Oh no he does not sail with me. For he got drowned in the deep blue sea." She also knows scores of American folk songs, hymns, and cowboy songs which she learned over many journeys and staying all over the West and in California. Mrs. Brookshire has composed many songs and poems of her own. Her brother Henry needs a word as he is [third page of entry]: represented in the N.C. Folklore. Although I'm sure written in good faith, the article was erroneous in several details. His birth date was not 1878 as stated in the article, but 1891 on Duck Creek near Draco in Caldwell County in the Brushy Mts., not Dutch Creek. The details of the arrest were not erroneous altho the reason for the arrest was true. Although Mr. Holsclaw is a very upright, kind and religious man, in those days he was a blockader. At that time money was hard to come by and when stilling had to have a federal stamp and be taxed, the poor man could not afford the price and make a living. Bootlegging wasn't considered a shady trade in those days. Those who didn't sot themselves kept whisky for medicinal purposes and after Prohibition they couldn't even get it from the government. Many made their own, but for the public as a whole it had to come from somewhere. In the song, it wasn't a Taylor man, but a Naylor man concerned in the incident. In those days Mr. Holsclaw also wrote of the murder of Florence Sutphin and the ballad of Gladys Kincaid which took place in Lenoir and not Burke Co. (wrong--place was at Valmead beside Lenoir on the Blowing Rock road) but is not the version printed in N.C. F. Strangely enough ballads pop up from unlikely people. Rolf Ellison from Pottertown has known Mr. Holsclaws song and it is known in the mts of Watauga County. The N.C. Folklore version is evidently someones adaptation of name into a common folk lyrics showing how murders and incidents become so quickly diffused into folk tradition. Many people around Kings Creek still remember the 1916 flood and how many people were washed away and the family lost in the fresh, the subject of Mr. Holsclaws song which is still remembered.

She first married Lige Fowler who lived on the Sevier-Cocke county line, near where the Gatlinburg Road mount pass is. After having four children, Lige brought in old Liz Green on her, and thumped her and treated her so ill till his Daddy told her she ought to take the youngest one, Joe, and leave before he killed her. So she took Joe, the baby, and moved to Newport where she washed and mended clothes for a living. When Joe was a year old, Lige sneaked to her parents’ house one day and stole him away. Well, a week later Maw--Aunt Becky—went up there and found the youngins in the house while Lige wasn’t there. She said they was black as coal, so she took them to Mr. Fowlers and kept them a week and cleaned them up. Then she had to go back to Newport. Around 1899, Maw stayed with John Harrison, a widower, on Cosby. He promised to marry her and got her pregnant, but then he didn’t marry her. So when Maw Maw was born and Maw took her home, her parents said she could never stay there no more. Maw took sick and everybody thought she would die. When John Harrison heard about it, he came on an old grey mare and put Maw on it and carried Maw Maw through trails and creeks to Maw’s brother Johnny’s. He first took her to his house and asked her to come in, but she said no--she’d see him hell first before she’d ever come in there again. Well while she was at her brother’s, an Indian cure doctor came through and told them how to take some liquor and something to make her better. Well finally she did get better and went back to Newport. Several years later in 1905, Mitch Sutton, some kin to Granny Roady McMillon told Duggin Jenkins, widower of Elizabeth Harrison, John Harrison’s sister, about what a hard-working woman Maw--that’s Aunt Becky--was. So he sparked her and soon married her. Not long before Maw had courted a Knoxville man named Esau Mantooth and was going to marry him, but a fortune teller had told her that she’d not marry the feller she was going with then but would marry a grey headed man who had come to see her carrying a walking stick over the hill. Well Esau had got sick, and Maw hadn’t heard from him and thought that he had left her. So when Duggin Jenkins came a’ courting, she soon married him. Maw Maw still remembers the- Maw Maw Phillips still remembers the wedding day when she was only five years old. She said that he had told her that his daughter Betty had a little chair that she could sit in, and she did. They lived in a house on the McMillon side of the trail holler. Maw Maw said that she always knew that John Harrison was her daddy, but she never had spoke to him until she was fourteen. One Sunday when she was close- when she was close to Sally Phillips’--that’s Walter, her husband’s, mother--after meeting at McMillon’s--a meeting is the same thing as church--John was there and Sally wanted Maw Maw to meet him. She didn’t tell Mae right off that John was there, and that’s her daddy. Mae said first she didn’t want to go up there, and all them people there, but she did, and John came out. And Sally said, ‘Do you know who this is Mae?’ Maw Maw said, ‘I guess so,’ and John hugged her. He wanted to take her with him and send her to school, but she wouldn’t because his children by his second wife made fun of her. He said she was more like him then any of his children. He often said that he was that he was going to leave her as much money or land as he did the rest, but he died of food poisoning before he ever made a will. Law said that Branch Harrison, her half-brother, was always good and friendly to her and Walter, her husband. And John always liked Walter. Walter worked for him a lot but said the children would put water in his milk and sugar in his coffee to devil him. Years later a woman came to Maw’s and asked her if she knows an Elizabeth Green. Maw said, ‘No, but I used to know one-’] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sad the regret will never learn how To come before him who only can save Leading in triumph through death and the grave Only a prayer, only a tear Oh, if sister and mother were here Only a song will comfort and cheer Only a word from the book so dear You can-and- Can you not sing a song of this love?
