                  <text>The first series of &lt;span&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

                  <text>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Scans of bibliographic information, Mt. Vernon Musical Union minutes, and signed materials in a book used at the Mt. Vernon Musical Union and probably later at Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Music in Dayton, Va. McIntosh R M (Rigdon M.), 1836 – 1889. &lt;em&gt;Tabor: Or, the Richmond Collection of Sacred Music, Designed for the Various Religious Societies of the Southern and South-Western States&lt;/em&gt;. New York: F. J. Huntington and Co., 1867. Third edition.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This copy of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Tabor&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;shows scans of the front and back pages of the book which contain the signatures of Professor J.K. Ruebush and Hall as well as the formation of the class minutes written inside of it. The signatures found in this book are an example of how people in singing schools would write their names and places and dates in the books which they used to sing with. Singing schools used both round note and shape-note tune books. R.M. McIntosh wrote his books in round note format, not shape-notes, however some of his music was published in &lt;em&gt;The Musical Million&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;magazine in shape-note form.&amp;nbsp;This copy is&amp;nbsp;Courtesy of&amp;nbsp;Bridgewater College Special Collections.&amp;nbsp;A complete scan of another copy of this book is available online through&amp;nbsp;hathitrust.org&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__hdl.handle.net_2027_nc01.ark-3A_13960_t69320c3d&amp;amp;d=DwMGaQ&amp;amp;c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&amp;amp;r=jqLz64mwhc-y0t5K3o-PlA&amp;amp;m=TU5GHTMTlRUR0aZydmUjhMD5fYAAuNq1CzxzGIwS67g&amp;amp;s=bxouK2_92kI2ScjT_JViJB6D3sbawM19FzWs2EZHcBs&amp;amp;e=" data-auth="NotApplicable"&gt;https://hdl.handle.net/2027/nc01.ark:/13960/t69320c3d&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>The first series in the Rappahannock County SNP Records collection consists of 350 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

�The basic differences between Petitioner and ~his
exceptant are as to the classificatio n and value of the land,
and improvements , and buildings.
Although we believe the values reported by the
Petitioner's appraisers were very liberal and that the findings
of the Board of Appraisal Commissioner s as to values are sub~
stantially too high, we have accepted and will not seek a lower
valuation than their findings as shown on the above tables in
this case.
As to the classificatio n of the land and the other
elements of value we submit that these matters are correctly
set forth in the Work Sheet of the Board with references to this
case, and not as set forth in the exceptant•s statements.

This

Work Sheet is filed with the record and a copy of this Work Sheet
is submitted with copy of the record tendered herewi~h, and
additional copies of the Work Sheet in this case will be furnished
if desired.

the three acree or land, with the improvements thereon, found by said board to be
the property of the moveant was valued at only ~5100.00.
The grounds or said motion a re as follows:

lat:

That the price for said land and improvements ia manifestly

inadequate as more fully appears from the affidavits attached hereto, which are
~skad to be read in support of these exceptions.

2nd:

That the finding of said Board was based upon a mistake or law

as to the nature and effect of tne evidence produced before said Board by the
above named party.
3rd:

That the finding of said Board is apparently from the state-

ments contained in it s report b~sed upon the physical character of the land alone,
without taking into consid eration or ~t least without giving any effect in its
fina.l decision to the income producing capacity of the property, all of which will

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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

                  <text>The second series in the Rappahannock County SNP Records collection consists of 28 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are miscellaneous records including correspondence, petitions, orders, proceedings from the law and order book and affidavits. An additional file of interest to researchers includes the Panorama File, which includes detailed information on the history of the Panorama Resort.</text>

~~Clerk

TO THE HON. H. W. BERTR.AU , JUDGE OF SAID COURT.
The motion of

Cassie M. Naylor, praying said Court to

disapprove a:nd to decline to accept the finding of the Board of
Appraisal Commissioners, heretofore appointed by said Court in
the above matter , wherein said Board reported, under No. 62 of
its findings , as filed in the Clerk' s Office of said Court, that
the 173 acres of land, found by said Board to be the property of
movant, was valued at only $61 . 95 per acre.
The grounds of said motion are as follows:
(1)

Th.at the price per acre allowed for said lands and the

improvements thereon is manifestly inadequate and confiscatory,
only the nominal price of $3. 00 per acre being allowed for 86
acres, or practically half of said land , and the improvements
being appraised at only about half of their value, as more fully
appears from the affidavits attached hereto .
(2)

That the finding of said Board was based Ul)on a mistake

of law as to the nature and effect of the evidence produced before said Board by the above named party, as is shown by the fact
that said Board did not allow in its finding the fair market
value of said property by at least $5,000.00.
The affidavi ts attached hereto are asked to be read in
support of these exceptions .

The claim heretofore filed in this

matter by movant before the appraisal Board is asked to be read

erty, is totally inadequate and not at all the true value of said
improvements.

The improvements appraised by the said Appraisal

Board were also apprai s ed, with the exception of about seven
ohioken-houses, by Caldwell and Burner, for The Rockingham Home
Mutual Fire Insur ance Company on November 15, 1929, at the sum of
$7,600.00.

The seven chicken-houses, not included in the appraise

ment f or the Fire Insurance Company, are worth a t least $100.00
apiec e , which would make the value of the improvements for insurance purposes equal the sum of $8,300.00, making a difference of
a ppr oximately $3,000.00 between these two appraisemente.

The

grazing land and the tillable land are both fertile, and are of
more va lue than listed by the Appraisal Board.

This farm is

exceptionally well watered, with a water system at the house,
barn, and chicken-houses.

The buildings are all in first-class

condition, except one barn.

The lands in use are fertile, and

this property is recognized as one of the best i mproved and equipp d
farms in that section of the County.

County aforesaid, and, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I am well acquainted with the home farm of Cassie M.Naylor:
situate on Elk Run, about four miles east of Elkton, in the edge
of the Park area.

I have been informed that 86 acres of said

land, ref erred to by the Board of Al)praisal Commissioners as
slope land, is the same as the timber land upon said property, and

is valued at only $3.00 per acre by said Board.

This is a to-

tally inadequate valuation of said property, the same being worth
at least $10.00 an acre.

This is one of the best improved prop-

erties in the community, and the improvements, with the exception
of one barn, are insplendid condition.

I am informed that the sai

Appraisal Commissioners have only valued thent at $5,280.00.

I

do not consider this a fair valuation tor said improvements. The
same are worth at least from three to five thousand dollars more .
I am further informed that the said Appraisal Board valued the

wood upon said farm at only $50.00.

Thi s is only about fifty cen s

�--2-per acre for the 86 acres ~ which is practically no value at all
for the wood .

The wood upon said 86 acres is worth many times

the value which said Board has allowed .

The lands upon this

farm that can be cultivated and grazed are in a high state of
cultivation and are fertile .

I am informed that the a verage valu

per acre for said lands, a s allowed by s aid Board, is only
$61. 95 .

I do not consider this a fair or adequate consideration

for said lands, nor could a f arm of this character be replace d

                  <text>The first series of &lt;span&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

                  <text>The first series in the Rappahannock County SNP Records collection consists of 350 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

                  <text>The first series in the Madison County SNP Records collection consists of 363 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. D.F. Anderson and Others, and Fifty-Five Thousand Acres of Land, More or Less, in Madison County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Madison County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>

                  <text>The first series of &lt;span&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

                  <text>The first series of &lt;span&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on the Rockingham County Shenandoah National Park collection, visit the "&lt;a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids"&gt;Finding Aids&lt;/a&gt;" tab in the menu above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span&gt;n the 1970s and 1980s many of the individuals displaced by the park creation were interviewed in hopes of preserving their stories.

Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain 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 to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are the legal proceedings for each individual tract of land that made up the one court case. In most cases, the individual case files consist of property surveys, assessments for the value of the land and improvements, and claims by the owner of the property.</text>
