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.

Re:
William Roy Smith
Reg. No. 23567
Dear Judge Haas:
The above-named was admitted to this hospital
January 4, 1962,
having been committed by your Court for observation
and report.
Since admission he has been carefully
studied both physically
and mentally and history obtained from available
sources.
As
a result of our observations,
we beg to report that he is not
now psychotic or insane and that he has not been psychotic or
insane since admission.
The official
diagnosis is 'Sociopathic
Personality
Disturbance,
Alcoholism (addiction).'
He is considered
to be mentally competent and able to return to Court to stand trial
on the charges pending against him.
Respectfully,
ra,~
Joseph R. Blalock,

OFFENSE
On the night of August 16, 1948 between the hours of 12:00 A. M. and 1:00 A. M.,
David Leon Sm.ith was driving an improper lighted car on Route 33. He was in
the process of ta.king Nancy Hoover to the Harrisonburg Hospital.
Nancy was
suffering with a sevem pain in her side and the defendant believed it to be an
appendicitis
attack.
Beverley Smith and Jake Hoover were also present in the
car driven by the defendant.
The two girls were riding on the back seat of
the car and Jake Hoover was in the front seat beside the defendant when a
truck traveling
west on highway 33 approached the car and a direct collision
occurred.
As a result of this accident,
Beverley Jean Smith died and the
other two occupants were knocked unconscious.
David Leon Smith received a
severe blow on the side of his head and as a result of this blow it is believed
that he wondered some distance from the scene of the accident.
PRIOR RECORD
Only one charge was found in the court
1-19-48
Drunk and disorderly
records
in the Roclci.ngham County area.
Fine $25 costs
However, it is known that the subject lost his driver's
a result of an accident with a Mason Dixon truck.
FAMILYHISTORY
$5.50
license
in 1947 as
David Leon Smith is the youngest child in a family of seven reared by Jacob
and Annie Smith.
Jacob Smith is a pastor in a Church of God in this vicinity.
He also participates
in some farming.
The entire family has always resided
on Route 4, Harrisonburg,
Virginia.
David Leon was born on February 26, 1929
in this vicinity.
He lead a normal childhood life and at the age of six he
entered the local rural school.
However, he did not like school and gave it
up at the 6th grade in order to help his crippled father on the farm. March 4,
1948, David joined the U. s. Marine Corps. He has maintained a good record
while being a member of the Marines and is presently
stationed
at Camp
LeJeune, North Carolina.
At the time of the accident,
David was on furlough
and was stiying with his parents in their rural home.
HOMEAND
The home is a 6 room frame structure
located in what is known as the Peak section
NEIGHBORHOOD which is northwest of Hinton, Virginia.
The house is in good condition and
is very well kept.
However, this neighborhood has a very undesirable
reputation
and is noted fur its'
lawlessness.
EDUCATION
The subject states that he gave up his education after
He left school in order to aid his crippled father.

EMPL01MENT
The defendant has 110rked for the various farmers in his community for the
better pa.rt of his life.
However, in 1946 he was employed by the Daley
Brothers Shoe Company at a wage of $22 per week. This job lasted only sil:
months.
In 1947 he worked for the Harrisonburg Quarry at a rate of $.55
per hour for a period of six months.
The boy is now a member of the 10th
Marines and has a rating of Pfc.
HEALTH
The defendant has no serious heal th problems other than those that occurred
as a result of the accident.
His family is in extremely good health with
the exception of the father who has lost one a.rm.
SUMMARY
David Leon 5mi th comes from one of the best families of a very disreputable
neighborhood.
He has lived with his parents the larger part of his life
and al though they do not enjoy many luxurious items, they have lived comfortably and have been well provided for.
This boy gave up his education after
attaining
the 6th grade with no difficulties.
He is a member of the Church
of God but does not attend.
At the present ti.me, he is in good physical
shape; however, be did suffer a seve:m blow on his head in his recent automobile accident.
PLAN
This young boy, who is in serious difficulties
for the first
time in his life,
has presented a very difficult
prob1eni. He has a very cocky and nonchalant
attitude
and seems to be very indifferent
toward the offenses for which he is
now charged.
When questioned by the probation officer,
the subject did not
devu.lge the entire truth, in fact, all he did state about the entire affair
was that he did not remember what had happened before or after the accident.
He persisted
in lying about the fact that he had been drinking be£-ore the
accident occurred.
Dr. J. S. Huffman of' Dayton, Virginia,
who treated the
subject for the cut which he received on his bead, states that this boy
admitted drinking prior to the accident.
However, Dr. Huffman further stated
that it is certain that the lick that he received was the cause of the subject's
wondering away from the scene of the accident.
Since Smith is now in the
Marine Corps, it would be a very difficult
problem to give him any supervision
as a probationer
and I sincerely
doubt that if he is dealt with leniently,
that he will strive to correct his indifferent
attimde.
Respectfully
yours,
~~~

Description
An account of the resource
The first series of <span>the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. </span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. 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. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.<br /><br />For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.<br /><br />I<span>n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

The first series of <span>the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. </span> The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. 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.
