�Virginia.
My name is Elmer D. Carr,
I am 29 years of age.
Jr.
My address
is Bergton,
I have been told that I need not make this statement
unless I des re to do so; that everything
I say must be of my own
free will,
and that anything I say can be and will be used against
me in a criminal prosecution.
I have also been told that I am
entitled
to counsel.
Nevertheless,
I do make the following
voluntary
statement
this 1st day of September, 1954 in the office
of the Commonwealth's Attorney,
Court House, Harrisonburg,
Virginia,
in the presence of Deputy Sheriff Warren Spitzer.
I have known Marcella Hollar since around 1950 or 1951.
Charlie Sites took me to her house where they were living then.
It was back of Timberville
close to Campbells store.
Both of us
had intercourse
with her that day up in an orchard.
I have been
having intercourse
with her ever since, off and on, on the average
of once a month.
She has been living at present
address for around a year.
We have had intercourse
since she has lived there about 12 or 14
times.

Overseers of the Poor: Indentures of Apprenticeship
Description
An account of the resource
Series III is comprised of Rockingham County Indentures of Apprenticeship, which were formal contracts created by the overseers to bind poor or orphaned children to a "master" with who they would learn a trade. Their term generally lasted until the age of twenty-one for males and eighteen for females. Trades were typically determined by the apprentice's sex as well. Active labor and semi-skilled artisan positions were reserved for males, while females often served their term learning to sew, spin, knit, or domestic labor.<br /><br />For more information on the Overseers of the Poor collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aid</a>" tab in the menu above.
