Abstract:
Reverend Frederick Blount Drane earned his B.A. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and completed his graduate work at the General Theological Seminary in New York. Both his father and grandfather were also clergymen, and, collectively the three of them devoted over 150 years of service to the Episcopal Church. Assigned to the mission field in Nenana, Alaska, in 1919, Reverend Drane found his work to be difficult. Although some of the native Indians spoke broken English, they translated his words into a dialect he did not understand and often confused his message. Reverend Drane was appointed Archdeacon of the Yukon in 1920, but after contracting tuberculosis in 1926, he was forced to return home. Drane died in 1982 at the age of 91.

Abstract:
Cornelia Phillips Spencer led the movement for North Carolina to make a flag to be included in the centennial Independence celebration in 1876. While only a decade removed from the Civil War, Spencer believed North Carolina's Revolutionary heroes should be honored with North Carolina's participation in the celebration. The flag hung in Independence Hall for a year. It was then returned to North Carolina where it was placed in the Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Eventually the flag was taken down and stored away, but it has since been lost.

Abstract:
The centennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence was observed in Philadelphia in 1876. Although many Southern states still felt resentment toward the North following the Civil War, the Ladies Memorial Association of Wake County decided to provide a flag to the celebration. Raising the necessary funds, the women commissioned Reverend Johannes Adam Simon Oertel to design the flag. The front, of which only one known photograph survives, consisted of the allegorical figures of liberty and prosperity in the center bordered by white oak and holly. The back, of which no picture exists, was an emblematic description of the Old North State. Although the flag was displayed until 1943, it has since been misplaced and efforts to locate it have proven futile.

Abstract:
H. G. Jones recounts the efforts of various individuals and organizations over the years to commemorate the anniversaries of the Roanoke Colony founding. Directing the committee planning the quadricentennial to be held in 1984, Jones left in 1974 to work on James B. Hunt’s campaign for governor. His goal was to have jurisdiction of the Roanoke Fort Raleigh site returned to a commission rather than the political appointees of the previous administration.
