Abstract:

The following was taken from a feature article from 1959 about Mrs. Lula Fleming (1878-1967) was the daughter of Capt. Charles A. White and Louisa Amanda Corey, and the widow of James Lawson Fleming (1867-1909) former legislator who helped push the bill to establish what is now East Carolina University. Mrs. Fleming was an organist and was a member of numerous civic and historical organizations. She recalled the first one-room school house she went to on the corner of Washington and Fourth Streets, which later became the first telephone office. She spoke of the steamboats, dances and parties. She said…”in my youth no young people would think of going out unchaperoned. Such a thing as a night ride could have ostracized you.”
