I'M. Wednesday morning July
II, 1858. Rev. L. D. Hayman, the
president of the Clan called the
Clan to order, and conducted
the devotional. Mrs. Rena Tillett,
organist of the Wanchese Meth
odist Church presided at the or
gan console during the day. Spe-
cial features of the devotional
hour were a solo by Phillip
Dudley, and a duet by Misses
Hattie Hayman and Lottie Gal
lop. During the morning program
Mr.. Dudley entertained the
Clan with series of short catchy
skits and songs. Also, Peggy
Taylor rendered a piano solo, and
Sandra Midget, sang a solo.
Peggy is from Manns Harbor and
Sandra is from Norfolk, Va.
Uncle Bill Barnett represented
the Manns Harbor community in
extending a word of welcome.
He took the place of Melvin Dan
iels who was unable to be pres
ent to speak to the Clan.
The business dispatch moved
on rapidly during the morning
under the guiding hand of the
President, Rev L. D. Hayman.
The routine of business and re-
ports included registrations of
more than two hundred members
of the Clan and friends of the
group. Matters of Clan history
were discussed, and a commission
appointed to study the matter
this year with view of publish
ing a revised edition of the pres
ent volume with many additions
which have come to light the
three years of the Clans history.
Also, the chart of Haymans pre-
pared by Southgate Lehman of
Norfolk was on display for ex-
animation and any minor errors
detected. The Family Tree will
be ready for distribution at the
1854 session which meets at Kitty
Hawk, NJ c., the third Friday in
July.
The Committee on nominations
reported and named for confir-
nation the following to serve as
officers for the ensuing year.
Rev. L. D. Hayman of Carolina
Beach, President; Edward Hay
man of Norfolk, Va, Vice Presi-
dent; and Miss Oma Pearl Mid
gett of MAINS Harbor, Secretary
Treasurer. Five new Directors
were named to fill vacancies
caused by the term of this num-
Der expiring this year. They are
Mrs. Stella Goodman of Siler
City; L. L. Hayman of Coinjock;
T. D. Hayman of Wanchese-Nor-
folk; Charles Aguirre of Raleigh;
and Elsie Brickhouse of Eliza
beth City. The Clan has fifteen
directors as the governing board
of its affairs.
At each yearly meeting, it has
been policy of the Clan to hon
or one or more persons who are
strong supporters of the Clan or
who have rendered valuable help
in programs and otherwise. The
policy is not to go beyond the
number of three such honors in
any one meeting in a year. This
year the Board of Directors elect
ed for recommendation three
outstanding, persons of Roanoke
Island as Adopted members"
for life membership in the Clan,
and with powers to vote and
share in all matters of the Clans
activities. These persons are Mrs.
Rena Baum Tillett, organist of
Wanchese church, civic and rel
igious leader of her community
and county. Melvin Daniels, Reg
lister of Deeds of Dare County,
an outstanding leader in all af-
fairs of good causes in his county
and church. Victor Meekins Edi-
tor of the Coastland Times,
fearless leader and editorial
writer and whose influence is
felt widely in the weekly paper
he publishes at Manteo. The
Clan feels honored to number
these among those adopted
children" on the rolls of the
Clan which number is six to
date - the others being Lynton
R. Daniels and Gus Montague of
Norfolk, Va, and Capt, Spencer
D. Murphy of Wanchese. Capt.
Spencer is a devoted friend of
the Haymans, especially the
President of the Clan. The dinner
hour was great one. The 100
foot table laden with the best of
food, and another stand with free
lemonade and ice cream added
to the pleasure of the day. The
Clan had nothing but high
praise for the entire community
of Wanchese for making this a
great one in our midst, chief
among these being Jimmy Davis.
