The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1957-03-01

The possible origin Of the name
CaIra comes from two possible
sources. One story is that the name
was given by a party Of French
Indians travelling up the Willis
River. Being weary they stopped on
a hill to rest and called it Ca-Ira,
meaning hill. here we rest
Another explanation Of the name
is that it was coined during the
Revolution from a phrase which
was favorite of Franklin's when
he was speaking of the outcome Of
the American Revolution.
Former Min Operator
r. A. Harris, Of Curdsville, who
ran the mill from 1886 to 1850 re-
calls the building as being three
stories with an attic and basement.
He said that, of course. the mill was
operated with new equipment and
the old parts had long since been
thrown away
Harris now owns the Curdsville
mill in Buckingham county, which
is also located on the Willis River.
He suffered a heart attack last
year, and does not work actively at
the mill now
CaIra mill was sold to George
Baldwin of Cumberland last year.
He was planning to dislnantle the
old structure and use some of the
timbers for lumber. He estimated
there were some $50 timhers Of solid
heart pine in the building. These

Peter lifed him also-lifted him and
threw the stranger across a fence.
Peter told him to get out and stay
out The indignant stranger asked
for his horse, so Peter picked the
horse up and set it over the fence
on top Of the man.

Peter Francisco was Al arrie d
three times, and became sergeant
alarms Of the House Of Delegates in
Richmond in 1925. He died shortly
lfter that Francisco district in
Buckingham county is named for
his legendary character.
A search for the old CaIra mill
stone was frujtless. Some say that
c. c. Harvey, who bought the mill
early in this century, broke the mill
stone in pieces. MIR Harris. Of
Gu dsville, expressed the belief that
Mr. Harvey gave the mill stone TO
someone in Buckingham county
Efforts to organize a group to re-
store this old landmark failed Such
a movement was tried by Hoskins

Old CaIra mill is no more. Only
the grim foundation is left to re-
mind natives Of one Of the oldest
landmarks in the county and nation.
Cara mill is reported to have
been buiit@in the early l700s, It was

Goocfland as recently as 1749
Gaia was once a thriving little
village on the banks OF the Willis
River The village grew up after the
mn was built. The town of CaIra
had its streets laid out on plat
with the various lots, etc, desig-
mated There are land references to
this plat, but the whereabouts of the
plat is not known at this time. II
anyone knows where it is, photo
static copy should be made avail
able at the Cumberland court house
With a seemingly bright future
ahead this village has now degen-
Grated to practically nothing. Three
things have kept the name CaIra
prominent IN this area the old mill,
Grace Episcopal Church and the
Gaia fishing pond.
The fishing pond is now owned by
the Cal a Fishing Club and still
yields its share of bass and large
Dream to the patient fisherman The
Grace Episcopal Church is in an
excellent state of repair after al
NEST being discarded several years
ago. And CaIFa mill. the third and
eldest Of the three, is now but
rubble Of stone and charred timbers.
CaIra and Malaria
A reference to the town Of CaIra
is made in the book To-day and
Yesterday" page 2031 as follows.
"On one occasion, at least, the
Buckingham Militia met with that
Of Cumberland at CaIra The village
Of nearly 800 souls was too small
for 50 large a collection of human
ity There was no proper accommo-
dalton for the dancers so the three
streets were sprinkled by slaves
and the bali proceeded Paren-
thetically, this was a few years be-
fore the village was beset by ma
laria, a plague it was to suffer from
periodically until its population
weakened and dispersed"
Again in the book. reference is
made to a church and ten dwell

Peter Francisco
Cara Mill is enhanced by the
legend of Peter Francisco. t h e
Paul Bunyan of Buckingham
county" Any discussion of CaIra
mill is bound TO lead to some tales
If the might and proWess of Peter
Francisco.
Mrs. W. A. Spencer, who lives in
Buckingham county approximately
halfway between the mill and Sa-
lem Methodist Church, is one who
demonstrates an accurate know
ledge of the legend of Peter Fran
cisco and CaIra mill
MS Spencer recalls pleasantly
Of the days she used to ride to the
mill with her father, the late Ed
ward PoindeXter Sheppard. prom
inent farmer who lived near Salem
Church.
Mrs Spencer tells of a book writ
ten by one of the descendants of
Peter Francisco that tells the legend
completely She has loaned the book
to friend so it is not available at
present.
Peter Comes to Virginia
She said that Peter must have
come from Portugal. and may have
been of royal birth. He was kid
mapped as a little boy. and taken
TO Virginia in the New World where
he was deposited near City Point on
the James River. Clothed in rich
material and wearing silver b-'ckle
shoes inscribed with P F., the little
lad was alone in the strange new
world.
IT is said that JUDGE Anthony
Winston. a member of the House of
Burgesses and uncle to Patrick
Henry, took the abandoned young
ster to his home. Hunting Towers,
near Andersonville.
The young lad thrived in Virginia
and grew to enormous proportions.
At tie age Of Is, weighing over 200
pounds and standing well over six
feet young Peter enlisted in the
Revolution. He is said to have killed
an unbelievable number of British
soldiers. and a razor given in his
honor is said to be kept at Guilford
courthouse in North Carolina.
Locust Grove
Peter returned to Buckingham
county and lived at Locust Grove
Facm about a mile from the home
Ct Mrs Spencer, The old home
place still stands but is in a state
Of decay and neglect
A spring nearby is called the
Peter Francisco spring. It is said
that this giant Of a man picked UP
huge boulder and placed it over
the spring to shelter it properly
Mrs. Spencer said that much Of
the legend has come down from
John Henry Ellis. an aged Negro
who died years ago Mrs. Spencer
said t h a it was John Henry's
mother who related this informa-
ton to him She was over 100 years
of age when she died, said Mrs
Spencer.
One of che most repeated tales Of
the fabulous Francisco is that one
dav at CaTra min he reached dawn,
and picked up the mill stone The
stone is said to be four and one
half feet across and a foot thick

Wedding Bill
Mainly Dads
Own Problem

Since the groom faces the pros
pect of paying all the little wom-
ans bills from now on, doubtless
he thinks it only fair that Pop pick
up the check for the wedding.
Probably Pops view is differ
ent; but in the rush it is rare for
anyone to ask his opinion on this
particular matter. BY the time the
bill arrives the happy couple are
far away on their honeymoon
(paid for by the groom).
Just who pays for what is often
a vexing problem, and it is as we'll
to get the long-standing customs
governing we'd dding expenses
straight right from the beginning.
All that the bridesmaids are re-
sponsible for-except any showers
in which they become involved -
are their own dresses. These are
chosen by the bride, who has COM
plete authority on color and de-
sign even though she isn't paying
the bill.
Besides the groom's outlay on
the obvious expenses, such as en-
gagement and wedding rings and
the marriage license, he must also
pay for his bachelor dinner, the
brides bouquet and going-away
corsages for his mother and moth
er-in-law, his own and his attend
ants boutonnieres, gloves and ties
hotel bills of his attendants from
out-of-town, a present for each oil
them, the chrgyman's fee, and his
own wedding and honeymoon
clothes.
What does this leave father
with? Quite a tidy number oi
items.
Etiquette is unbending in its die
tum that the brides family mus
sponsor the ceremony and the re
ception-no matter how poor hel
family or how well-off her fiance's
Among these main expenses are
all the arrangements for invita-
tions and stationery, the brida
outfit and the trousseau, all flow
ers for the church and reception
all reception costs, fees for the sex
ton, organist, choir and soloists
transportation to and from th'
church, awnings and carpets, ant
cost of overnight accommodation
for the bridesmaids, If necessary.
