1T REALLY HAPPENED
IN MANTEO OR VICINITY
ONLY FORTY YEARS AGO

Remember when: "Topsy Tur-
wy" a three-act comedy was pre-
scented in the auditorium of the
brand new Manteo High School on
the night of May 81, 1915 by a
group of actors and actresses from
Wanchese directed by Mrs. J. M.
Davis who raised $11 to help buy
new carpet for the Wanchese
Methodist Church Sigsbee
Miller, of Avon, arrived on the
mail boat on the morning of Octo-
/, Der 4, 1915, to resume his studies
at Manteo High School In
those days Miss Rennie Griffin
had charge of the music depart
ment at the high school and Miss
Bonnybell Evans was teaching
primary school at East Lake Z.
On November 5, 1915, invitations
were out for the marriage of Miss
Sybil Gates, daughter of DR.. and
the late Mrs: Franklin P. Gates,
of Manteo, to Wheeler Martin
Fields, of LAGRANGE, which was to
take place on November II -.
According to reports reaching
Elizabeth City on November 10,
1915, Toler & Company and ]. T.
Guard, Dare County fishermen at
Mashoes, had just made a $500
catch of rock fish. Now in those
days when a Darrell of rock fish
was worth as much as a bale OF
cotton it isn't hard to understand
why it wasn't easy to interest
Dare County people in agriculture
). L. H. White, Jr., was proprie-
tor of the Sportsman's, Home at
Sea Gull, N. c., in December, 1915,
where he was advertising the best
duck and goose hunting anywhere
in the South, offering live goose
and duck decoys to shoot over :.
On December 20, 1915, the Manteo
Epworth League under the direc-
ton of it's first vice-president,
Miss Rennie Griffin, gave potato
social, each member of which had
to bring a sweet potato in order
to be admitted. In this way two
large barrels of sweet potatoes
were collected for the Methodist
Orphanage at Raleigh, and the
prize for donating the largest po-
tato went to Mrs. George Tolley.
1t was from the garden of Dan
H. Hopinks, one of Dare County's
first and most progressive Negro
farmers :.
On January "a, 1915 Ocracokers
saw their first theatrical perform
ance when the Guy johnson Stock
Company put on a vaudeville in
the old Ocean Wave Theatre there
Rex Beach, the author of a
number of popular novels 40 years
ago, was on an extended hunting
trip to Ocracoke in January, 1915
Plans were afoot at Ocracoke
40 years ago for the construction
of large pavilion to be equipped
with modern soda fountain, bath
houses and electric lights A
Manteo item tucked away in an
Elizabeth City newspaper on De-
cember 20, 1915, revealed the fact
that Leo Midget, a prominent
young man of Skyco, and Miss
Elma Etheridge, of the North End,
had been married at the home of
the Methodist minister, the Rev.
M. W. Hester, on Christmas Eve
The bridegroom was described
