Albemarle Tradewinds March 2016 Final Web

The Month of March
By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle
March is Women’s History Month and the Museum of the Albemarle
honors women throughout all of its exhibits. Our main gallery, Our
Story, features women from different eras including Polly Jackson Scott.
The hall-and-parlor style house in the gallery was erected for Polly’s
grandfather, Daniel Jackson, Jr. around 1755. Polly lived in the house and managed the surrounding farm with
five of her eight children.
I Do! Weddings in the Albemarle, 1831-2015 exhibit features lots of women. On display is the dress and trousseau
worn by Chowan County resident Lillian St. Clair Perry. She wore a pussywillow satin gown when she
married Lloyd Turnage on June 22, 1921. She carried the silk seven-piece trousseau set, featuring hand-painted
flowers and vines, with her on the honeymoon. Tailors professionally trained in the French hand-sewing method
stitched the trousseau and features. Also, be sure and view the dressing table set Pasquotank County resident
Dora Barrett used as she prepared for her wedding to William H. White on June 22, 1952. The couple spent
many years living in Elizabeth City and Chapel Hill.
The Louis C. Tiffany: Art and Innovation exhibit features the “Young Lady in Magnolia Tree” stained glass window.
The woman depicted in the window is thought to be Louis Tiffany’s sister. Intricate working of copper foil
around the drapery glass of magnolia leaves makes this a combination of beauty and nature. The glass is dichromatic—the
colors change when light is reflected on and off the glass.
The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame exhibit features Kathy McMillan. She was inducted into the Hall in
1999 for track and field. Come visit the Museum of the Albemarle during the month of March to learn more
about these women and others.

No Excuse
By : Ron Ben-Dov
Excuses are plentiful,
And they’re mighty cheap.
I don’t have time,
Can’t seem to remember,
God ain’t got time for me,
I fear he won’t answer.
Let me tell you,
God always answers;
Whether, or not, you like His response.
Fear
False evidence appears real;
The devils a liar,
Why are you listening to him?
You want answers?
Push!
Pray until something happens.
God always answers.
He’s got your back.
Why you ask?
Because God so loved the world,
He gave His only begotten son,
So that we may be absolved of our sins.
Salvation
Something you can’t buy,
And we don’t deserve.
By His grace
And Jesus’ willing sacrifice
Salvation
