Overman Description An account of the resource This stately home was located at the corner of West Innes and South Ellis Streets and was the residence of Lee Slater Overman, a United States Senator. The house was torn down to build a bank. Lee Slater Overman was born in Salisbury. He was educated in private schools and later graduated from Trinity College, which is now Duke University. He worked for the gubernatorial campaign of Zebulon Vance. After Vance was elected, Overman became his private secretary and remained in that position for two years. During that time, he became interested in law and read extensively. After Vance left office, Overman returned to Salisbury and opened a law office. In 1878, he married Mary Paxton Merrimon, the daughter of United States Senator and North Carolina Supreme Court Justice, Augusta Summerfield Merrimon, and the couple had four children - one of whom died in infancy. He supported the Prohibition movement, and was elected to the North Carolina State Legislature in 1882 and served until 1889. In 1902, Overman was the first United States Senator from North Carolina to be elected by popular vote, and he served in that capacity for twenty-eight years. He wrote and supported the Overman Act of 1918. This legislation gave the President extraordinary powers during times of war. He was opposed to women’s suffrage, but he was an advocate of education and served on the board of trustees of Duke University and the University of North Carolina. He was elected president of the North Carolina Railroad. Overman died in Washington in 1930 of a stomach hemorrhage and at his request, his funeral was held in the United States Senate Chamber. He was buried at Chestnut Hill Cemetery in Salisbury. Buerbaum’s Bookstore Salisbury, N.C No series no.

Title A name given to the resource Residence of James Hill Ramsay Description An account of the resource The residence of James Hill Ramsay, located at 208 South Fulton Street, is now the Rowan Oak House, a Bed & Breakfast. Built in 1901, the house is an elegant Queen Anne Victorian featuring wrap-around porch, and leaded and stained glass windows. James Hill Ramsay was a descendent of Robert Ramsay, early settler of Rowan County. He served as Postmaster under thirteen presidents beginning with Grant and ending with Coolidge in 1927. James Hill Ramsay was born in Scotch Irish township in 1855, the son of Dr. James G. and Sarah Jane Foster Ramsay. Dr. James G. Ramsay had served as a member of the Confederate States Congress and was a leading physician. Ramsay was educated at home and his first job was as a clerk at a store in the South River area, where he also served as postal clerk. He stayed in South River from 1875-1880, when he came to Salisbury to work as bookkeeper for the Meroney Brothers dry goods. In 1881, he went to Statesville to serve as a clerical worker for the Internal Revenue Service. He returned to Salisbury the following year to serve as postmaster for the local office by appointment of Chester Arthur. Since the postmaster job was a political appointment, Ramsay occasionally relinquished the position to Colonel A. H. Boyden, who served during Democratic presidencies. During those times he was not serving. Ramsay entered several business ventures. He was in the tobacco manufacturing business with the firm of Johnson and Ramsay and was an organizer of the Smithdeal Hardware Company. He was also the President of the Home Building and Loan Association. Ramsay was married to Mary E. Miller of Columbia, South Carolina, and the couple had four children. Ramsay died in December of 1930. Publ. By Theo Buerbaum (no series no.) Source: Salisbury Evening Post obituary James H.

Hambley Description An account of the resource The Hambley-Wallace house was built for Egbert Barry Cornwall Hambley, an English mining engineer in 1902. The two-and-a-half story yellow brick Jacobean styled structure was designed by Charles Christian Hook, a Charlotte architect, and built by A.R. Lazenby. It is located on South Fulton Street. Egbert Barry Cornwell Hambley was born in Cornwall, England in 1862. He came to the Gold Hill mines of North Carolina in 1881 and stayed for three years. After that, he traveled extensively in India, Africa, Mexico, Spain, and Norway to learn the latest mining techniques and the design of power facilities. He returned to North Carolina where he took up permanent residence. In 1887, he married Lottie Cleveland Coleman who was the great granddaughter of North Carolina Governor William Hawkins. The couple had five children. At first, they lived on a farm in Rockwell where Hambley raised Jersey cows. Later, they moved to Fulton Street in Salisbury. He promoted business and industry in the area and organized the Salisbury Gas and Electric Light Company, served on the board of Salisbury Cotton Mills, Davis and Wiley Bank, and the Yadkin Railroad Company. He became the vice-president and general manager of the Whitney Company, owned by George I. Whitney, a Pittsburgh financier. Together they planned to build a hydroelectric power dam on the Yadkin River. The project employed hundreds of people from as far away as Sicily (masons). Granite from Rowan County was used in the construction of the dam. The project was hampered by accidents and disease. Hambley contracted typhoid and died suddenly at the age of forty-four. One year later, Whitney abandoned the project, and it was not resumed for a decade. Hambley is buried in Chestnut Hill Cemetery. No series no. The Albertype Co., Brooklyn, N.Y.

Boyden House at 204 S. Church Street was most likely built by one of the previous owners of the property, possibly Adlai Osborne or Spruce Macay, and added to by later owners. It is known that A. H. Boyden made further additions to the house in the 1880s. In the foreground are the town well, said to have been dug by town clerk Adlai Osborne, and the Henderson Law Office, which are both still standing. The Henderson Law Office, built around 1819, housed the Rowan Public Library from 1911-1921. Also originally on this property was the law office of Judge Spruce Macay, whose apprentices included Andrew Jackson and William R. Davie. It was located somewhere on the front of the property between the Henderson Law Office and the well. The Macay Law Office was removed in 1876, to be sent to Philadelphia to be exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition, but it may never have reached its destination and was not included in the catalog of exhibits. This property, now owned by Rowan County, houses the Rowan Public Library. Archibald Henderson Boyden was the son of Nathaniel and Jane Henderson Boyden. At the age of 17, while still a student in Alamance County, he joined the Confederate Army against his father’s wishes. His father, a native of Massachusetts and a lawyer, remained a Unionist throughout the Civil War. Though A. H. never rose above the rank of private, he was given an informal peacetime promotion to Colonel later in life. Boyden had a number of careers, never seeming to settle. Politically, he was always at the opposite end of the spectrum from his father. During reconstruction, he got into some trouble and went to Mexico, later moving to Spartanburg to invest in a cotton business, which failed. He returned to Salisbury in 1880. He served as mayor for four terms in Salisbury. He also served as postmaster. He invested in more cotton businesses and lost a lot more money. In 1880, he married May Shober and the couple had two daughters: May who married Dr. Robert Brawley and Jane who married Burton Craige. Their house served as a social center. While Boyden was not a businessman, he was known to have a loveable and generous nature that endeared him to the community. He was a proponent of Veterans groups, fighting for pensions and homes. He championed orphans, firefighters, schools, city development, and the Democratic Party. While he was mayor, he worked on getting a bond issue passed to improve the schools, and when it failed, he borrowed money from Wachovia on behalf of the city to expand the Ellis Street School. He imposed a tax on liquor to pay off the note. He served as chairman of the school board for 32 years and in 1926, the new high school was named in his honor—Boyden High School. Shortly before the North Carolina Confederate Memorial on the Battlefield at Gettysburg was to be dedicated in July of 1929, A. H. Boyden died. It was said of him in an address by Angus W. McLean, Former Governor of North Carolina: Col. A.H. Boyden, who recently passed to his reward, after devoting much of his life first to service in the Confederate army itself, and second in caring for the widows and orphans of his former comrades in arms. He was to have taken official part in these exercises, and his presence is sorely missed by those of us who came under his benign influence. No series. The Albertype Co., Brooklyn, N.Y.

Title A name given to the resource Theo Buerbaum's Salisbury Subject The topic of the resource Historical postcards of Salisbury and Rowan County Description An account of the resource The 87 postcards in this project are from two collections from the Edith M. Clark History Room at the Rowan Public Library, The Miscellaneous Postcard Collection, MSS 9034 and The Johnny Young Postcard Collection, MSS 9908. The postcards in the project are those in some way connected with Theo Buerbaum, who was a photographer and bookstore owner in Salisbury, North Carolina from 1880-1926. Most of the postcards are from photographs he took, but others are ones that bear the imprint of his bookstore in some way. Included with the images are short histories researched by our staff of the events, places, or people depicted in the postcard. Our collection includes the images of Theo Buerbaum’s postcards, but this is by no means all that he produced.

Blackmer Description An account of the resource The Walter Steele Blackmer residence was located at 425 West Horah Street. Walter Steele and Clara de Roulhac Alderman Blackmer had three sons, Walter, Sidney, and Luke. Blackmer, a local businessman, was the son of Luke Blackmer, a prominent local lawyer. He was best remembered for his retail clothing business and he was also employed in real estate for several years. Considered public-spirited and active in his church, Blackmer was well liked. He died suddenly in October of 1922. His son Sidney, the best-known member of the family, was born on July 13, 1895. After leaving the University of North Carolina, Sidney Blackmer arrived in New York in 1917. He had little experience acting, having just quit his job in the legal department of Southern Bell in Atlanta. His first role, a bit part was in The Morris Dance with Richard Bennett in February 1917. In 1919 he got his first break. After being cast as the organ grinder in 39 East he replaced Henry Hull as Napoleon Gibbs, the lead. Blackmer’s professional career included 40 Broadway plays, 200 movies, and numerous television dramas and lasted through six decades. By far his best role was in Come Back Little Sheba with Shirley Booth for which he won the Tony Award. He appeared in numerous radio, theatre, movie and television productions. Blackmer was an activist as well, serving in many capacities in the actors’ guild, and one of the founders of the Actors’ Equity Association. He was also instrumental in the creation of the NC School of Arts in Winston-Salem, one of the few state-supported schools in America. He was active in charitable organizations, and helped to raise millions of dollars for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He was twice married, first to Lenore Ulric, which ended in divorce. Shortly after that, he married Suzanne Kaaren, and the couple had two sons. They maintained a home in Salisbury until their deaths. Sidney Blackmer died at the age of 78 from cancer, and he was returned to Salisbury to be buried at the Chestnut Hill Cemetery. 14236 – Theo Buerbaum, Salisbury, N.C. made in Germany.

Title A name given to the resource In Fulton Heights Park Description An account of the resource As an inducement to people to buy lots in the new Fulton Heights neighborhood, Salisbury’s first development outside of the city’s boundaries, promoters opened Fulton Heights Park in 1906. The July 4th celebration included a sunrise salute, parade, baby show, baseball, fireworks, field sports, dancing, music and prominent speakers. Electric cars (streetcars) made trips to the park every 15 minutes. The park ceased operation when the trolley no longer ran. The tree trunks are whitewashed with a mixture of Hydrated lime and water, which was a common practice at the time. It cooled the tree by deflecting light, and therefore heat, and formed a coating on the trunk that absorbed carbon dioxide. It was an especially useful practice in time of drought.

Title A name given to the resource Travels with Balfour Pink Description An account of the resource A few years ago, Rowan Public Library was given a collection of glass slides from a local family. These magic lantern slides documented various paving and curbing projects done throughout the United States in the early 1900s. Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family. Both father and son worked as stone cutters for the Harris Granite Quarries Company, world-renown for Balfour Pink “The Granite Eternal.” This granite was used for many projects all over the United States and Europe, particularly as paving stones and memorials. As society moved from horse drawn carts and carriages to motorcars, a smooth and even surface was felt to be imperative. Many of the glass slides offer a glimpse of American street scenes in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century.
