Title A name given to the resource Virginia Court Clerks Association (VCCA) Records – Oversized Miscellaneous Materials Subject The topic of the resource Virginia Court Clerks’ Association—History Court clerks—Virginia—Societies and clubs Professional associations—Virginia Minutes (Records) Scrapbooks Photograph albums Newspapers—Virginia—20th century Newspapers—Virginia—21st century Description An account of the resource The Oversized Miscellaneous Materials (Series VCCA006) form part of the Virginia Court Clerks Association Records, a collection spanning 1894–2023 that documents the professional and institutional history of Virginia’s clerks of court. This series contains bound volumes of annual convention minutes (1910–1953; 1954–1961), executive committee minutes (1993–2003), photograph albums, and scrapbooks recording association gatherings such as conventions, banquets, and training events. Full-size newspapers and clippings from 1960, 2005, and 2015 provide contemporary coverage of clerks’ legislative initiatives, organizational milestones, and the public profile of the VCCA. The materials highlight the association’s role in fostering professional development, building collegial networks, and shaping policy within Virginia’s judicial system. Originally collected and maintained by the VCCA Historian, these oversized records were digitized as part of James Madison University’s Histories along the Blue Ridge (HBR) project to ensure long-term preservation and researcher access.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Most of this area is covered by growth The result of repeated fires. portion of the cliffs, and much The soil is thin of scrub oak. Slope type varies greatly from a deep and fertile sandy loam with little rock and very little slope on.lower edges to a thin and poor sandy loam which is very steep and rocky . A portion has not been burned recently, but some of it has been severely burned in the last two years . Cove type is a sandy loam of a good depth and fertility; few rocks , gentle slopes . Tillable land on Madison Run is of fair depth and fertility with some loose sdattering rock. On Hawksbill Creek a few acres has been cleared and is in cultivation. It is steep with considerable rocks and only fair fertility . HISTORY OF TRACT .AND C01IDITION OF TD.ffiER: This tract was worked for iron ore at one time, but has not been operated for a great many years. The date available indicates that any mineral value assigned to the property would be purely speculative . The more · aecessible parts of th~s tract were cut over many years ago , 1865 to 1879, to provide charcoal for an iron furnace located on Madison Run . On this portion of the tract practically no timber was left . About 1900 the chestnut oak timber was cut for bark. Since the bulk of the stand was comprised of chestnut oak , the bark operations remov·ed the greater part of the remaining timbelE' . Small portable mills have operated periodically over the tract for many years removing any timber which could be reached without too great difficulty . The unauthorized removal of little patches of bark, locust posts and other products have helped to clean up anything which might have been over looked in previous operations . Repeated incendiary fires have run over the tract destroying the reproduction, and injuring the immature and the old timber remaining . In many pl?ces, even the soil itself has been burned · with the result tnat extensive portions have been rendered non. productive, and almost worthless . Rockingham County {l} On Swamp Run there is a thin stand of yellow pine with some mixed oak, scattered over an area of approximately 1500 acres which runs about 1 M. feet per acre . (2) On Madison Run there is an open mixed stand of oak and·pine , · short, scrubby and of poor quality ranging in size from 10" to 20" DBH on an area of about 1600 acres. (3) On De~p Run there is an open stand of oak and pine with oak ' predominating, ranging in size from 10H to 20" DBH on an area of 200 acres . (4) On Lewis Run there is a stand of scattered oak and pine ranging i ' in size from 10" to 22" DBH, of fair quality on an area of about 1000 acres. (5) On Big Run and its tributary Rocky Mountain branch on an area of . about 750 acres there is an open stand of white and yellor: pine, _popl:ir, oak, l1ickory , and other species of good length and quality. The bullt of this timber lies in the hollow or on the :b.ower slopes near the head of the stream, und only about one mile from the top of the Blue Ridge . It is the largest and most desira le block of timber remaining on the tract .

IT THB CIRCUIT COURT OF _ROCKINGHA M: comrTY, VIRGINIA, The State Commission on Conserva tion and Development of the State of Virginia no. 1829 at Law PETIT I OlH!..*R vs Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty Two Thousand Five Hundred Sixty One r(52,561) Acres, more or less, of land in Rockingham County, Virginia . . D3FBNDA1 TS The undersi 5 ned, in answer to the petition of the State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia, and in res ponse to t h e notice of condemnation awarded upon the filing of said petition and pu1)lished in accordance with the order of the Circuit Court of Rockingham County,· Virginia, and by special leave of said court, in its order rend ered on the 18th of February, 1931 , asks leave to file this his ansTTer to said petition and to said notice. The name of the Petitioner is John A. Alexander, care Rudolph Bumgardner, Staunton, Virginia, (Rudolph :Bumgardner, 1sq., St a unton, Virgin i a , agent and attorney). The undersigned is the owner in fee of the following tract or parcel of land within the area sought to be condemned, which is improved with several buildings of more or less value, viz, (1) The f ee in a parcel of land described in the deed as 22,700 acres, more or less,shown by the recent Park survey to con- tain 20,704 acres; which lands a r e underla id with valuable minerals , conta in va luable timber, and considera ble areas of which are fitted for agriculture . (2) . The min era l rights in 1500 acres contiguous or a d- joining. Your petition acquired said tra ct and mineral rights in the ·year 1914, by deed -::o f: .J•,:. E. Johnson, Trustee , to John .A. Alexa nder, da ted .August 22 , 1914, of record in the Cl erk's Office of Rockingham County in Deed Book 118 pag e 4~ , said deed being als o - l - �- 2 - of record in the Clerk's Offices of the Counties of Augusta, Green and Albemarle , wherein s~all portions of said tract are located. By virtue of certain suits, confirmatory deeds, etc., the title to said lands has been completely cleared up, quieted and settled. Your Petitioner claims that the total value of the tract of 22,700 acres (20,704 according to the Connnission's figures) of which he owns the fee simple title, including the timber and underlying minerals, is $5 .00 an acre or $103 ,520 .00, the value of the estate in the underlying minerals and minine rights in 1500 acres of which other T1arties own the surface and timber, is ~3000 .00. There is no provision, s o far as Petitioner is advised in the Park Act, as in the Act controlling the acauisition of 1~nds by the Federal Government for forestry reserve, for the retention of minera,H and future mining of same under the regulati ons prescribed by the Government; so that the condemnation for Park purposes means destruction of the mineral values as respects the land owner. The Commission !'lad has/its surveys and plots made of the above mentioned land and is fully informed as to all details respecting metes and bounds, contiguous owners, etc. Petitioner represents that, while he is the owner in fee of the land and mineral rights above mentioned, by reason of encumbrance s and a subsisting decree of sale your Petitioner's rights are nominal as respects the actual disposition of the proceeds, other than his interest to see that the land yields its full value for a pplication up on the outstanding liens, and consequent reduction of personal liability upon fBtiti oner. In the chancery causes heard together and now depending in the Circuit Court of Rockineham County, under the short court styles of Wallace Saunder~ et als. vs. John A. Alexander; Home Building and Loan Association vs. same; and Commonwealth of Virginia vs. same, the liens have been as certained , and by decree of sale entered in said causes on t~e 25th day of July, 1930, as modified \_ 2 __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _l_v~ �r - 3 - by later decrees, the following have been appointed Commissioners of the Court for the purpose and directed to make sale of said lands, viz Rudolph :3umgardner, J. Frank Blackburn, :Tallace A. Williams, George B. White, F. S. Taverner Jr., George A. Walker and Herbert J. Taylor. The liens, which will consume the proceeds of the land, are as follows: (1) Commonwealth of Virginia for taxes. (2) Home Ruilding and Loan Association, pf Staunton, Va. (3.:a )E. W. Feuchtenberger, of Charlottesville, Va., b. State and City Bank and Trust Company of Richmond. c. Wallace C. Saunders of Richmond, Virginia. After the liens had been settled and agreed upon, the Kanawha lational Bank of Charleston, Charleston, ~est Virginia, intervened by petition asserting a lien which was rejected. An appeal has been granted from the decree rejectin~ said lien, and said cause, under the short court style of Kanawha National Bank of Charleston vs. John A. Alexander et als, is pending on appeal in the Supreme Court of Appecls of Virginia at Staunton . .ihese lienors, , represented by court cormnissioners, are the substantial owners of the land, wh c"' e rights are directly affected in said condemnation proceedings and who should be permitted to intervene and protect their respective rights and interest. So f r as respects your Fetitioner, ever since the Park project was set on foot, he has been anxious and desirous±» of negot i ating and effecting a sale of said lands to the Park Commission and is willing and desir ous to effect such a sale at any reasonable and fair price; the title is g ood, e.nd the:ue has never been a tirne at which e. sale could not be accomplished 011 rec sonable terms; and your Petitioner is at a loss to unde~stand the necessity for condeni..nation proceeding·s H' the public euthori ties Hre willing to allow and agree to a fair and com:pensetory price for the land they desire to acquire. - 3 - \02. �- 4 - Your Petitioner's sole requirement in the case is that the court will protect his rights as land owner, and the rights of the lienors, whose property is being reruisitioned without effort to negotiate or treat in respect to the value or terms of a aale . Your petitioner reserves ell rights guar~nteed to him by the conde~~2tion statute, and reserves the right to demand a jury to be impanelled for ultimate deternination of the value of said land and nineral rights in the event that a fair allowance be not made by the eommission or by the Board appointed to view the land and make an award .

G• 1. 7. 1 �Decernb0r 16, 1933 Mr . George~- Wal~er Charl o ttesville , Va. Dear George: Mr . Walter ''!illiams and l had a talk with Mr . John Purcell, State Treasurer , and Major Gibson and IJir . vollins Denny, assistants to the Attorney- General, about the order entered in the park cases .Nover.1ber 21, 1933, directing that the award of J45,700.00 be forthwith paid by the treasurer of the State of Virginia to theCircui t Court of Rockingham Gounty, Virginia, and placed to the credit of said Court in said consolida ted causes. ln view of the language of the order, Major G-ibson and JJ1r . Collins Denny thought that this order should be amended or su.pQlemen ted by a further order directing in what place or bank the award should be deposited . This is in effect my suggestion made in a letter to you sometime ago that vre should have a further order enter~d in this cause. You will note that the order provides: "lt is therefore further adjudged , ordered and decreed that the said award of ~45,700.00 be forthwith Jaid by the Treasurer of the state of virgini~ to the t,;ircuit Court of 1.reckinr;hE.nl Gounty, virginia,a nd ?laced to the credit of the said Gourt in said consolida ted c2.uses - - -··. This language is construed as requiring the Treasurer to place the fund to the credit of the Court in said causes, but does not direct where or in what bank. When the order rms drawn, this was not an oversight 011 our part , but vre were ignorant as to whether the fund would be set up in the Treasurer t s office to the credit of the Court in said causes. As soon as v1e can get award to the credit of the c.ourt in said causes, a check uill be forthvrith drawn and deposited as directed . I f you and lVir . Tavenner think proper, you mi 6 r; t sen d a copy of my lett~r to Judge Hertram ~nd, no doubt, he would enter a nunc pro tune order t whatever that is J which would cover the suggestion s of the assistants of the Atton ey-Uenera l. When Major G-ioson first took the matter up with me, he was under the impression that until the r.i.oney ·,vas distribute d to the parties entitled thereto, there might be some q~estion of liability on the ~tate in the event all or any part of the fund was lost, and suggested that said fund should be well secured . Mr . Gibson and Mr. Denny have waived raising any question as to insuring the fund , but, of course, it is to our material inter~st to see that �-2- the fund is placed in some good solvent bank, prefer ,tbly a l'Jat ion al .oa.nk. I am ready to co operate vri th you and lv1r. 'i'avenner at any time in preparing an order ~n the Alexander cases ordering distribution of the fund. With best wishes , l. am Yours truly, GEO. B.

The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases.
