| 1 | Excerpt from a newspaper article on the death of Johnie Dunn - "John succumbed to the ravages of pneumonia on April 2 [1938] in a hospital in Bluefield, W. Va. A week and a half previously he contracted influenza while rehearsing for a show, "Hollywood Vanities Revue," in which he was a partner, manager, and performer. Like all real troopers he believed the show must go on and so refused to give up until it was too late. John broke into the show business at the age of 17 when he teamed up with a neighborhood friend, Steve Collins, in a song and dance act. They got solid booking on the Keith Circuit opening in Jacksonville, Fla., and became the first native Binghamton team to crash the big time. The pair first attracted attention by appearing in "The Morning Sun Carnival Revues of 1922." They were picked up a short time later by Thurston Lewis, then a big band leader. The dead actor achieved the goal of all vaudevillians by "playing the Palace" when it meant something. His partner then was Frank Fay, former husband of Barbara Stanwyck. For a time Dunn forsook the stage to go to Hollywood, where he played in four successful moving pictures. He later returned to the legitamite stage." | Dunn, John J. (I16856)

Indiana MY SPARE TIME I DEVOTE MYSELF TO PAINTING, DRAWING, GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL RESEARCH, BRIDGE AND SWIMMING. I AM UNMARRIED." The following is a copy of article in Fauquier Democrat by Mark Scolford (Staff Writer) Mrs. Baird has few peers on county history scene..... DELAPLANE - Nancy Chappelear Baird's interest in family and Fauquier history were cultivated as a girl by her uncle, Curtis Chappelear, the County first native historian. She's now widely considered an expert with few peers on local history. During the summer she spent with "Uncle Curtis" as a nine-year-old, Mrs. Baird learned about her family's rich role in Fauquier history, a role that predates the American Revolution. From her academician-father's devotion to genealogy she picked up research techniques that have helped her in writing several books on genealogy. "To me it's very interesting, and it makes me a more interesting conversationalist," she said. "My daddy believed you should have one job and stick with it, but have several hobbies and change them often. When I was 20 he changed his hobby and started doing genealogy," she said. As a girl she followed him around to Virginia courthouses, learning about family history and helping compile and index findings about the Chappelears. Mrs. Biard, (72) of Delaplane, has since spent countless hours volunteering her time to local history projects. She has cataloged Fauquier tombstone inscriptions, compiled a list of early Fauquier county marriage bonds (with John Gott) and edited the Civil War journals of her ancestor, Amanda Virginia Edmonds. Mrs. Baird is actively involved with the Fauquier Historical Society, and has also found time to do pioneering work with the county and state mental health associations. Her father, George Warren Chappelear, Jr. was head of the biology department at Madison Teachers' College ( now James Madison University), but was born at Brookside near Delaplane. Brookside, according to Mrs. Baird, is known to students of Civil War history as Rebel raider Col. John S. Mosby's last headquarters. Mrs. Baird attended Virginia Tech before getting a degree in math education from Madison College in 1939. During World War II she was a naval architect at the Navy's shipyard in Portsmouth. After the war she embarked on a 20-year career with jobs that reflect her broad interests: schoolteacher in Marshall for a year, research assistant in aerodynamics at Johns Hopkins University's applied physics lab, researcher at the Carnegie Institute's geophysics facility in D. C., naval architect for the Military Sear Transport Service and a computer programmer with the Army. She met Marshall native Alvin Baird at Delaplane's Emmanuel Episcopal Church and they were married in 1966, when both were in their late 40s. ("We were late bloomers," she laughs.) Baird's parents moved from Boston to Marshall where they purchased John Marshall's home. Oak Hill, and lived there for 50 years. Chappelear was a "made up" name corrupted from the French, so any Chappelear in histories or genealogies is a definite relative, according to Mrs. Baird. She continued her avocation by working with an aunt, the Louisa County Circuit court clerk, editing her notes and publishing them in the 1960s. Mrs. Baird worked with census records in Hanover county, and did research in James City as well. After publishing "Fauquier county Marriage Bonds" with northern Fauquier historian Gott, Mrs. Biard decided to have a long standing personal project published privately: "The Journals of Amanda Virginia Edmonds: Last of the Mosby Confederacy." She started work on "Journals" ion 1946, but couldn't get a publisher interested. She finally had 1,500 copies printed in 1984. After they sold out, she had an additional 1,000 issues published, and she continues to sell them. The "Journals" tell the story of a young woman on her Upperville farm during the Civil War after all the adult males were away fighting for the Confederacy. Mrs. Baird edited the journals and did the necessary research. "In order to know who she was talking about, I had to do extensive research into both the Edmonds' and the Settles," she said. Historians of the war have been surprised at how soon Amanda Edmonds would learn details of the fighting, said Mrs. Baird. Another project, "Fauquier County Tombstone Inscriptions" cataloged 13,000 inscriptions at 260 cemeteries in the county. The next edition of book, being researched by Mrs. Baird, Carol Jordan and Cheri Mangrum, will include about 450 graveyards and thousands more inscriptions. Given her familiarity with local history, "Mosbyites" (Col. Mosby history buff's) " come by here all the time and I take them around to area sites linked to the Grey Ghost's activities. Mrs. Baird's other interest include volunteer work for the Mental Health Association, the Mental Health Foundation Board, and the Republican Women's Club. Story by Michelle Hite ('88), Photos by Diane Elliott ('00) "Life's for giving not taking," declares Alvin V. Baird Jr. He and his wife, Nancy Chappelear Baird ('40), have given $1.5 million, JMU's largest gift ever, to fund the new Attention and Learning Disabilites Center. "When I learned that JMU was creating a learning disabilities center, I knew I had to check into it," says Alvin Baird. "I attended a staff meeting, met the director, Dr. Steve Evans, and became convinced that it would be a success. I wanted to help." Baird, an amicable octogenarian, whose gift for remembering exact dates in uncanny, also knows firsthand what it is like to grow up with a learning disorder. "In my childhood days, educators were not aware of the difficulties that such a child can have," he explains. "Today there is awareness, but still not much has been done to help... I had a difficult time in school. I had difficulty in mathematics. They didn't know anything about learning disorders back then, but I was able to alleviate most of my problems with constant one-on-one math tutors. It wasn't until Professor Orton published his ground breaking findings on learning problems that people began to understand. But I was in college by that time." And like Baird, many young people reach college-age before their learning disabilities are ever diagnosed. According to Lou Hedrick, director of JMU's Office of Disability Services, "Of the 420 students registered with our office, 270 have disabilities which affect learning." Hedrick's staff also serve students with physical and emotional disabilities. Baird syas he was never teased as a chld "who had arithmetic problems, " but laughs, "I didn't have too much prestige, either." "Alvin's family was known for their hospitality, wife Nancy enthusiastically interjects. "Most all the children loved Alvin." The Bairds' affectionate rapport and generous spirit are evident from the moment you meet the unselfish duo. Their 34-year marriage has afforded them "not only the privilege" but also the exceptional ability to finish each other's sentences and share many good-hearted belly laughs. Baird, who considers himself a survivor of the "buck famine" (the Great Depression), turned 84 on Oct. 6. Besides giving JMU its largest gift ever he has become a resource for informaiton and an adviser to ALDC. As an avid reader, he found a News World & Report article detailing the relationship between lead paint and children with learning disabilities. As a hands-on member of the ALDC Steering Committee, he immediately shared the article with Steve Evans, director of JMU's Human Development Center and the Attention and Learning Disabilites Center. "We want to be active in this learning disabilites center," says Baird, "Nancy and I chose to come forward in announcing this gift because I hope it will encourage others to give and help establish a $2 million endowment for the center so the programs will continue to help others in the community and beyond. The best thing for me is to know that someone will benefit - maybe not all - but a great deal more than when I came along. It will be worth seeing the difference this center will make in the lives of young people I've always thought that you can create anything for yourself, no matter what handicaps you have." "The Bairds were honored with the John Redstrom Award for Mental Health by the Virginia Mental Health Association," says Charles Crosson, director of planned giving at JMU. "There are eight different levels of philanthropy, with anonymous giving being the preminent. We encouraged the Bairds to let us use their name with this gift, in order to encourage others to give to the center; but this gift is as pure as philanthropy gets. Most donors focus only on accountability but Alvin wants to be involved. He is very helpful to th ALDC Steering Committee, which also includes JMU faculty members and representatives from the community's mental health organizations." Evans adds, "The Bairds' generous gift has been a tremendous boost to the ALDC's mission to support service, training and research in the areas of learning disabilites and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders. We will be using the funds to add support to our current evaluation and treatment programs and to add new programs that provide remedial reading and math services. The funds will also provide teachers with consultation and other resource,s and will help us expand the number of undergraduate and graduate students who receive training in this field. The Bairds' gift greatly raise the level of services that we can provide children and their parents, and we are pleased that Mr. Baird is taking an active personal role." Still in its first year, the ALDC has already formed community partnerships with harrisonburg Pediatrics, Rockingham Memorial Hospital's Behavioral Health Unit, and the special education programs of the area's city and county schools. Parent training classes, funded by the Bairds' gift will also fund ALDC staff positions, two graduate assistantships, more extensive training programs for undergraduates in the field of attention deficit disorders, contracts with area psychologists to extend evaluation services, affordable parent training and staffing of a Remedial Academic Services program. One of the ALDC/area school system partnership programs, Challenging Horizons, was established in Montevideo Middle School in Penn Laird. Aimed at school children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the program differs from traditional mental-health treatment approaaches because Evans and his team of graduate and undergraduate psychology students actually work with the youngsters at their school. This method differs drmatically from traditional outpatient care, which, "frequently has difficulty successfully changing behavior outside of the therapy sessions," says Evans. "We've added a parent training component, and we get into the child's world, because that's where the switches are that we can pull to make a difference." The $1.5 million donation from the Bairds is a chariable lead trust gift. Five percent of the initial principal value will be paid to the JMU Foundation for 15 years. At the end of that time, the family will receive the principal plus any growth over and above the 5 percent payout. With a charitable lead trust, the donor receives a reduction in the principal (estate) value equal to the charitable deduction. "No matter how you look at it" says Baird "we knew this was the best way to use our money to help others. That what life is about." ALVIN BAIRD: An army Air Froce corporal who entered WWII on March 4, 1941, Alvin Baird saw his first plane at the age of 6 near his home in Fauquier County. "It was quite unusual to see a plane in those days. I couldn't get a ride for nothing," he jokes. Baird was raised on a 550-acre cattle farm, the former home of Chief Justice John Marshall. He attended the universities of Maryland and Virgina on the G. I. Bill. He has flown solo across the United States and to British Columbia, Canada, and was a competitive ballroom dancer (Bronze medalist in Arthur Murray School of dance competitions). This summer, he read the History of Russia, and he is a friend of TV weather personality Willard Scott, who attended the same church in Delaplane. When Baird returned home from WWII (1945), flying became a "real serious pursuit." An instructor in Florida taught him how to fly planes. Which became his lifelong pursuit. NANCT BAIRD: Nancy Chappelear Baird ('40) one gave a "quick but very detailed' history of Paris, Virginia, duing Willard Scott's segment of the NBC Today Show. Originally from Harrisonburg, Mrs. Baird spent much of her youth at her father's and uncle's family farm in Delaplane, where she also lived for 34 years. She is an avid supporter of historic preservation and is working on an autobiography for the Virginia Historical Socity. She also edited a book about her great aunt, Amanda Virginia Edmonds, who was a teenager during the Civil War. Mrs. Baird graduated with a degree in education (mathematics major and art history and English minors). She also studied architectural engineering at Virginia Polytechnic and State University and was a naval architect in the U. S. Navy. Her original paintings adorn the walls of the Bairds' home and she explains the difference between her and Alvin, laughing, "He's a ballroom dancer, and I'm an old square dancer." | Chappelear, Nancy (I10449)

| 59 | Aaron Nicholson was a prominent patriarch and landowner in Nicholson Hollow, a community located deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where he lived in a two-story house downstream from what is now known as Corbin Cabin. Revered by the local community as a wise elder and a master coon hunter, he was known to command respect and possessed a wealth of local mountain lore dating back over sixty years. During the effort to establish Shenandoah National Park, Nicholson became a semi-legendary figure, largely due to the writings of local resort owner George Freeman Pollock, who labeled him the self-proclaimed "King of Freestate Hollow." Pollock's colorful, though often exaggerated and fabricated, accounts portrayed Nicholson as a "massive," "barefoot" squatter who claimed vast tracts of land— "as fur as you can see, from peak to peak"— based only on having walked around it. This caricature was challenged by later research, which proved that Nicholson was not a squatter; deed records show that the average landholding for his family in the 19th century averaged 100 acres, and Nicholson himself at one time owned over 200 acres in the hollow. Despite the historical correction, the exaggerated tales had lasting power, even influencing his grandson, George Corbin, who repeated the story that Nicholson only owned five acres, highlighting the challenge for the mountain community to preserve its accurate history against sensationalized narratives. | Nicholson, Aaron (I6975)
