paragraph: Gerard Byrne (artist, born 1958)

paragraph: Gerard Byrne (born 29 March 1958 in Dublin) is an Irish figurative painter. His artwork encompasses various themes from landscapes and architecture painted both in his native Ireland and on foreign travels, through still life to the floral and figurative works.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: Gerard Byrne was born in Finglas, Dublin, Ireland to parents Brendan and Kathleen. His father worked for many years as a self-employed customs agent, while his mother "Kay" reared the family of six: Brendan, Miriam, Gerard, Pauline, Janette and Irene. He attended the Sacred Heart school in Glasnevin, then the City Quay School and the St Kevin’s Christian Brothers in Ballygall. Unrecognised and untreated dyslexia prevented him from making the most out of the school education. However his artistic talents had been recognised, and from an early age he was encouraged to draw. He wanted to enter the art college but was too young at the time to be accepted. At the age of 14 he left school and got his first job at Clery's, a landmark department store on O'Connell Street, where he worked as a lift boy for 4 years.

paragraph: Byrne made an attempt to enter an art college but not having sufficient qualifications he got refused. Following his parents' advice to get a "real job" he started an apprenticeship as an electrician. It led him to obtain his dream job: a lighthouse technician. Between 1978 and 1982 he mastered the trade but the innate curiosity made him move on in his life. He decided to leave a well paid pensionable post and in 1982 together with his best friend Fran organised a road trip to Australia in a vintage Volkswagen camper van. The two travelled across Europe but got stuck in Turkey when the visas to Iran had been refused due to the Iran–Iraq War. They made their way to Athens, sold the van in Greece and took a plane to Australia. The two hitchhiked around the continent and made their way to Darwin where both got jobs as flying electricians installing generators in aboriginal settlements. From Australia Gerard made his way back home via Asia, travelling through Indonesia, Burma, India and Russia mostly by train and then flew back from Moscow.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Towards life as an artist.

paragraph: Back in Dublin, Byrne continued working as an electrician taking various day time jobs. The longing to be a painter became predominant though. Gradually he developed an idea to leave the recession hit Ireland and travel to America to earn some money. His plan was to purchase an inexpensive house in an inner city and focus on becoming a full-time artist. Very determined to make his dream come true Gerard left for New York and worked tirelessly as an electrician for about two years. Upon his return to Dublin he spent all his savings on a cheap flat in the Liberties. Committed to sticking to his plan he led a humble life and focused on drawing and painting. He would mostly spend time in the local market, painting the people and the local scenes. Gerard befriended local traders, who were supportive of his art and even fed him, often leaving boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables on his doorstep. Finding it hard to support himself he took an electrician job again. However an electric shock that nearly killed him had a sobering effect. It made him fully realise that his true life ambition was to be an artist. By chance he saw a documentary on the forthcoming changes in East Berlin and felt a strong need to be there to experience it. He decided to leave Ireland again.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Making it happen.

paragraph: In early 1989 Gerard packed his paint and canvas into an old camper van and left for Germany. Passing through Checkpoint Charlie in East Berlin he encountered the underground movement whose members had offered him to become an artist in residence. It was a major breakthrough, he became a full-time artist. Seven months of working in the streets of Berlin, painting the local scenes and architecture resulted in a solo show of his works. An exhibition was organised under cover in a deteriorated, disused supermarket transformed for three weeks into an aesthetically pleasing art gallery called the People's Gallery. Although the theme of works was not politically charged the event itself was an act of freedom, a statement of the love of art and against the state interfering in the freedom of expression. A few months later, in November 1989 the Berlin Wall came down. Gerard stayed in Berlin through the unification process and shared the liberation experience with his new German friends.

paragraph: Section::::Art.

paragraph: Section::::Art.:Life as an artist.

paragraph: Upon a return to Ireland Gerard exhibited his Berlin artwork in the George Gallery in Dublin followed by the regular expositions in other Dublin galleries. He returned to America, this time with the sole purpose of painting. In New York he got cheap accommodation in the Spanish Harlem, a rough part of the city where he was the only white European and believed by the neighbours to be a cop under cover. When he came back to Dublin his New York work was presented in the Jo Rain Gallery. In 1996 he exhibited in the Harrison Gallery and took over the running of the gallery for the period of 2 years. Although very successful in managing it he realised he needed to decide whether he wanted to be a gallery owner or an artist creating his art. Once again he made a conscious decision to stick to the idea of being an artist.

paragraph: In 2003 a relationship with the mother of his daughter Clara broke and he travelled to Dingle, the West Coast of Ireland to find solitude and much needed inspiration. He stayed for a period of 3 months painting seascapes of Dingle Peninsula and Great Blasket Island and preparing for the group exhibition in Greenlane Gallery, Dingle to commemorate 50th anniversary of the last man leaving Great Blasket Island. As a result of his break up Gerard lost his only recently renovated home and studio in Sandycove. Shortly after he was offered by a complete stranger a basement to stay and work in a house in Killiney. To his great surprise it happened to be a house with a sea view capturing his much loved Sorrento. He stayed there for three years. Over a short period of time Gerard became close friends with the owner of the house, John.

paragraph: In 2005 Gerard made a painting trip to India and shortly after again to America. When he came home he focused on painting his beloved local Irish scenes: Dalkey, Killiney, Sorrento, Sandycove. His inspiration was fed by the beauty of the coast line, sea, light, local architecture and life. He became known as a local painter.

paragraph: In October 2007 Gerard flew to the USA once again, rented a camper van and drove upstate New York. He spent 6 weeks on the road capturing the colours of the fall. He came back with a number of big format pictures depicting the autumnal landscapes.

paragraph: In 2005 he bought a house in Dalkey, with the idea of having a home to celebrate the arts, where music nights, poetry readings, classical music events, jazz concerts would complement his life as a painter. In time his home grew to become a gallery and was named The Art House. It became a recognised spot on the map of Dalkey, a place where the creative vibe dominated the structure of the house, run not for profit but for love of art, something he had learnt in Berlin a decade before.

paragraph: The Art House was situated in the heart of Dalkey village, directly opposite a well known pub called Finnegan's which is featured in a number of Gerrard's paintings. It is here where in 2008 he met his future wife Agata, a Polish garden designer who was working as a waitress at the time.

paragraph: In August 2013 the artist opened The Gerard Byrne Studio in Dalkey hosting the reception of his wedding the following month. The gallery presented the artworks created over the previous years. In October 2014 Gerard moved to London and marked his arrival with a solo exhibition in The Gerard Byrne Studio in Clerkenwell. His work focused on painting London landmarks "en plein air" and the new studio works. In October 2015 Gerard and Agata's move to Brighton provided the artist an opportunity to capture the diminishing sea town architecture of the Victorian era, the Brighton Pier and the beauty of the coastal line. His studio work advanced towards floral and industrial abstract. In June 2017 the couple returned to London sharing the time between UK and Ireland. In November 2017 The Gerard Byrne Studio opened in a new central location in Ranelagh, Dublin 6. June 2018 marks Gerard Byrne's return to Dublin.

paragraph: Robin Dudding

paragraph: Robin Nelson Dudding (7 December 1935 – 21 April 2008) was a New Zealand literary editor and journalist who founded the influential literary journal "Islands" (1972–1988).

paragraph: He was also editor of the literary journals "Landfall" (1966–1972) and "Mate" (1957–1966), and publisher of a number of novels and poetry and essay collections. He has been called the “most gifted and significant literary editor” of his generation, having given many New Zealand writers their first prominent outlet.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Dudding was born in Hastings in the Hawke’s Bay, son of Ernest, a baker, and Winifred (née Hinton) a schoolteacher. He attended Hastings High School, where he developed an interest in writing and literature.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Dudding was a cadet reporter at the "Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune" from 1952 until moving to Auckland in the mid 1950s. He joined the "Auckland Star", after a short time working as a freelance “seagull” labourer on the wharves. In 1959 he left the "Star" to train as a primary schoolteacher.

paragraph: While still a reporter, Dudding fell in with the Auckland literary set, whose gatherings revolved around the Queen’s Ferry pub in the central city. In 1957 he took over the co-editorship, and then full editorship, of the magazine "Mate", whose first edition had been edited by the poet Kevin Ireland. Contributions to "Mate" 2 included Barry Crump’s first published story, as well as writing by Maurice Gee, Frank Sargeson and Ireland. "Mate" was produced from Dudding’s home in Torbay on Auckland’s North Shore, and he supported his unpaid literary endeavours and his growing family with full-time work as a reporter, and later teacher.

paragraph: In 1966 Dudding moved to Christchurch to take over the editorship of literary journal "Landfall" from founder Charles Brasch, and to be general editor of the Caxton Press. In 1972 he was fired from Caxton and founded his own magazine, "Islands", once again supporting literary editing with other work, including freelance editing, teaching and gardening. The magazine was swiftly recognised as the “pre-eminent literary periodical of the 1970s”, and was published by Dudding, with occasional pauses, until 1988. There were 38 issues in all.

paragraph: From the mid-1980s Dudding wrote the "Bookmarks" column for the "New Zealand Listener" and was later a subeditor for the magazine. In 2003 he was guest editor of the annual online anthology "Best New Zealand Poems".

paragraph: Section::::Awards and prizes.

paragraph: In 1976, an issue of "Islands" was devoted to the Ian Wedde novel "Dick Seddon’s Great Dive", which won the 1977 Book Award for Fiction. The following year, Dudding published Kevin Ireland’s poetry collection "Literary Cartoons", which won the 1979 Book Award for Poetry. Dudding was awarded Auckland University’s first Literary Fellowship in 1979.

paragraph: In April 2008 he was awarded an honorary doctorate for literature by Auckland University, but died of emphysema two days before the ceremony. His award was received on his behalf by his family.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Dudding married Lois Yvonne Miller in 1958. They had five daughters and a son. He was an enthusiastic gardener and chicken breeder. He was a heavy smoker until his late 50s.

paragraph: In November 2016 Victoria University Press published a memoir about Dudding by his journalist son Adam Dudding, entitled "My Father's Island", which is shortlisted in the general non-fiction category of the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.

paragraph: Mark Hampton

paragraph: Mark Hampton (born Mark Iredell Hampton Jr., June 1, 1940 – July 23, 1998) was an American designer primarily known for residential interior design work for clients such as Brooke Astor, Estee Lauder, Mike Wallace, Saul Steinberg, H. John Heinz III, Lincoln Kirstein, as well as three U.S. presidents. In 1986 he was inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, and in 2010 "Architectural Digest" named him one of the world's top 20 designers of all time.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Mark Hampton was born in Indianapolis and raised by parents Mark Hampton Sr. and Alice (née Burkert) Hampton in Plainfield, Indiana. As a child, he spent time with Paul Hadley, designer of the Indiana State Flag, who was also a former instructor at the Herron School of Art and Design. Hampton showed early inclinations toward an artistic life, and by the time he was twelve years old, he considered himself a designer. He credited his success to making an early career choice. His early influences were Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Phillip Johnson.

paragraph: Hampton graduated from DePauw University in 1962, and attended the London School of Economics as an exchange student for one year. At his parents' request, he attended law school at the University of Michigan for one year before deciding to move to New York to attend the New York University Institute of Fine Arts. Hampton was awarded a Ford Fellowship by the Ford Foundation. He and Duane (Flegel) Hampton married in 1964, and raised two daughters, actress Kate Hampton and interior designer Alexa Hampton.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: While in England in 1961, Hampton met mentor and long-time friend David Nightingale Hicks. Hampton would later open an office for Hicks' firm in New York City. Hampton also worked for Sister Parish from 1962-3, and then from 1969-1975 at the design firm McMillen, Inc. under Eleanor Stockstrom McMillen Brown. He opened his own design firm, Mark Hampton LLC, in 1976. During his career he designed for a wide array of offices, hotels, clubs, railroad cars, airplanes and boats.

paragraph: Hampton did interior design work for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and designed Christmas decorations at the White House for President Jimmy Carter in 1977. He also worked for President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, for whom he provided interior design services at the White House (in the Oval Office and executive residence), Camp David, the Bush family's vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine, their retirement house in Houston, Texas, as well as the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas. Hampton, Scott Salvator and Mario Buatta redesigned Blair House, which serves as the president's guest house. He and Kaki Hockersmith worked with First Lady Hillary Clinton in 1998 to renovate the State Dining Room at the White House. Hampton collaborated with Paula Rice Jackson to renovate the American Academy in Rome's historic Villa Aurelia.[http://unanyc.org/resources_links/una_today_2007_summer.pdf [1]]

paragraph: In addition to interior design commissions, Hampton licensed his designs in fabrics, trimmings, and furniture. He produced fabric designs for Kravet and a line of fabric trimmings for Scalamandre. In 1988 Hampton began designing a line of furniture for the Hickory Chair company, which produced 250 reproduction furniture styles designed by Hampton at the time of his death. The brand continued its partnership with Mark Hampton, LLC until 2018.

paragraph: His weekly column for House & Garden were later compiled in the book "Mark Hampton on Decorating." He was a member and trustee of the American Academy in Rome. The Academy awards a prize in his honor every year. He was a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and a member of the Committee for the Preservation of the White House.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Style.

paragraph: Hampton was uninterested in being known for a personal style, however his style has been described as "tailored and classical." As his career evolved, he moved from modern, minimalist style to more traditional aesthetic. Hampton considered himself an Anglophile, and was best known for British decor at the height of his career, with an affinity for "English country house colors, Oriental rugs, floral chintzes, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century antiques, both English and American, and botanical and architectural prints."

paragraph: Hampton has been called "the Cary Grant of design . . . an urbane and articulate man, and impeccably dressed." In 1991 he was listed on the International Best Dressed List. Hampton was socially gifted and a thoughtful friend who created watercolor sketches for those he cared about. His watercolor of the White House's Green Room were featured on President Reagan's and the First Lady's holiday greeting card in 1983.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Philosophy.

paragraph: Hampton believed that "interior decoration is not just about buying things, but helping people with how to use things of beauty." He preferred to work with clients who had their own collections and personal tastes, bringing them into the design, rather than imposing his specific designs on a space. Hampton said that "a room should look great and reflect the owner at the same time. An ideal room walks off with the people."

paragraph: Andy Sneap

paragraph: Andy Sneap (born 18 July 1969) is a British musician, songwriter, guitar player and record producer with over 100 albums to his name , most of which have been produced at his Backstage Recording studios in rural Derbyshire. He received a Swedish Grammi (not to be confused with US Grammy) for his mix on Opeth's Deliverance album, whilst Killswitch Engage's 2014 album, Disarm The Descent (mixed by Andy) was US Grammy nominated. As a performer, he was first known as the guitar player of thrash metal band Sabbat, and also recently guitarist in the second incarnation of the heavy metal band Hell. In 2018, he joined Judas Priest as a touring guitarist following Glenn Tipton's announcement that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and that he would no longer be able to tour.

paragraph: He is one of the most active music producers in the metal music genre and has worked with bands such as Judas Priest, Accept, Blaze Bayley, Saxon, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Exodus, Megadeth, Kataklysm, Kreator, Nevermore, Testament, Carcass, Fear Factory and DevilDriver. Of his production career, Sneap holds the distinction of having been credited as a producer, mixer or engineer on all five of Testament's albums since "The Gathering" (1999) – including the collection of re-recorded material "First Strike Still Deadly" (2001) – as well as all seven of Exodus' releases since the live album "Another Lesson in Violence" (1997). He also mixed Megadeth's show from the DVD "", featuring Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Andy Sneap was born on 18 July 1969 in Belper, Derbyshire, England. He got his first guitar and amplifier from his parents at age 12 as a Christmas present. He started learning guitar with founding Hell member Dave Halliday, who had a huge effect on Andy and left him all the rights to all his songs and equipment in his will following his death. Sneap joined a British heavy metal band called Hydra as the second guitarist when he was 15 years old. But two weeks later, the original guitarist and drummer quit, Simon Negus joined them, and the band's name changed to Sabbat.

paragraph: After disbanding Hydra and forming a new band, they chose Sabbat as the new name, which came from a book on witchcraft. After one year of rehearsing, they recorded a four-track demo tape, "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten". Sneap distributed the demo tape to many record companies, but on listening, Berlin-based recording company Noise Records showed interest and asked for more material. In 1987, Noise Records offered the band a recording contract, but the contract could not be signed until Sneap turned 18 years old in July 1987. So they made a plan to start recording the band's first full studio album, "History of a Time to Come". Andy wrote all the music while Martin Walkyier was responsible for the lyrics. Sabbat released the album on 20 April 1988 via Noise Records, which received positive attention from journalists and fans alike.

paragraph: In January 1989 Sneap and the other band members entered Sky Trak Studio in Berlin to start recording their second album, "Dreamweaver", which was a concept album based on the 1983 book by Brian Bates – "The Way of Wyrd: Tales of an Anglo-Saxon Sorcerer". Andy wrote almost all of the music except three songs, which Simon Jones also wrote with Andy. The album has come to be regarded as a classic of the thrash metal genre, which reflects Andy's predilection at that time for increasingly lengthy and progressively technical thrash metal songs.

paragraph: Gerrit Lekkerkerker

paragraph: Cornelis Gerrit Lekkerkerker (Harmelen, 7 February 1922 – 24 July 1999) was a Dutch mathematician.

paragraph: Lekkerkerker studied mathematics at Utrecht University during the periods 1940-1943 and 1945-1949 under Jurjen Koksma and Jan Popken. In 1955 he received his doctorate under the guidance of Popken with the thesis "On the Zeros of a Class of Dirichlet-Series"; in Dutch: "Over de nulpunten in een klasse van Dirichletreeksen".

paragraph: After completing his studies in 1949, he started work at the Amsterdam Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science), where he worked under Koksma in the pure mathematics division. In the academic year 1953-1954, he studied in Rome.

paragraph: For 25 years, from 1961 to 1986, he was a professor at the University of Amsterdam, succeeding Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn. He was the director of the Mathematical Institute during the student protests of 1969-1973.

paragraph: He worked on analytic and geometric number theory. He wrote the standard work "Geometry of Numbers", first published in 1969. Later he worked on topics in functional analysis. In the 1970s, he turned his attention towards the mathematical treatment of topics in nuclear physics (e.g. neutron transport) and astrophysics (e.g. radiation transport within stars). Afterwards he worked with Rutger Hangelbroek, who did his doctorate under Lekkerkerker in 1973 at the University of Groningen, and Hans Kaper of the Argonne National Laboratory. He also contributed to topics in graph theory and topology.

paragraph: In 1984, although he had not yet reached retirement age, he resigned his professorship over differences in the teaching of mathematical analysis, feeling that his academic freedom was under threat. He did, however, remain active in mathematics: for example, he brought out a second edition of "Geometry of Numbers" along with Peter Grüber. This field now found new applications in coding theory.

paragraph: Adam Ling (born 9 September 1991) is a New Zealand rower. He won a gold medal at the 2015 World Rowing Championships in the lightweight single sculls, but missed the Olympic qualification for the lightweight double sculls the following year.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ling was born in 1991. He received his secondary schooling at Aquinas College in Tauranga apart from his last year, which he spent at Tauranga Boys' College. He started rowing in 2005 while at Aquinas College.

paragraph: Section::::Rowing career.

paragraph: Ling had his first international experience at the 2012 World Rowing U23 Championships in Trakai, Lithuania, where he came eighth with the lightweight men's four. At the 2013 World Rowing U23 Championships in Linz, Austria, he came fourth in the lightweight men's single sculls. Ling became an elite rower in 2014, and at the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, he competed in the lightweight men's double sculls with Alistair Bond. They came second in their semi-final race, but did not start in the final. In early 2015, Ling became national champion in the lightweight men's single sculls at Lake Ruataniwha, beating Peter Taylor. At the 2015 World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette, France, with "almost textbook-perfect race strategy" he won the A final ahead of Rajko Hrvat of Slovenia and Miloš Stanojević of Serbia.

paragraph: At the 2016 Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland, Ling was partnered with Toby Cunliffe-Steel in the lightweight men's double sculls. They would have had to be within the first three spots to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics, but came sixth and thus missed out. At the 2017 New Zealand rowing nationals at Lake Ruataniwha, he came second to Matthew Dunham in the premier lightweight singles.

paragraph: Joop Doderer

paragraph: Johan Heinrich (Joop) Doderer (28 August 1921 – 22 September 2005) was a Dutch actor, well known for his role as the tramp Swiebertje in the eponymous television series. The series ran for 17 seasons between 1955 and 1975, and was broadcast by the NCRV. Beside the role as "Swiebertje", Doderer played in dozens of radio and television programs, he played the role of Alfred Doolittle in "My Fair Lady", acted in Dutch and English movies, and appeared on stage in comedies, musicals, cabaret and dramas.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Doderer was born in Velsen, but brought up in Amsterdam. After finishing the "Hogereburgerschool", he persuaded his parents to let him take acting lessons. In 1939, aged 18, the Amsterdam acting school rejected him for 'lack of talent'. Instead, he started his acting career as an extra at the Nederlandsch Toneel, which enabled him to study actors like Cor van der Lugt Melsert.

paragraph: After World War II, he played in many comedies and musicals. For seven years, he was part of the ensemble of Wim Sonneveld, where he met his first wife Conny Stuart. He also acted in some movies ("Het Wonderlijke leven van Willem Parel", 1959) and featured on the radio ("De bonte dinsdagavondtrein" and "Koek en ei"). From the 1950s onwards, Doderer was a star. He often ad-libbed on stage, to the amusement of the audience, but not of his co-players. At age 52 he married the 21-year-old Ester. Together they had two children.

paragraph: Between 1955 and 1975 he played Swiebertje on television. In 2001, the series was given the one-time only "Signaal" award for the best television show in the past 50 years by the Dutch television viewers. Doderer was quite proud of his fame as Swiebertje, although it took him many years after the end of the series to look back positively (see below). In 2003, a bust of Swiebertje was placed in the town of Oudewater, where many of the outdoor scenes of the series were shot.

paragraph: Doderer was a Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau (Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau).

paragraph: Doderer died in a nursing home in Roelofarendsveen and is buried at Zorgvlied cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Swiebertje-effect.

paragraph: Being identified with Swiebertje hampered Doderer when playing serious roles after 1975, to the point where on one occasion the audience started singing the tune of Swiebertje when Doderer got on stage. In the Netherlands, this effect of typecasting became known as the "Swiebertje-effect". Doderer even moved to England and for four years he performed in high-quality television dramas. In 1979, he played a South African agent in "The Human Factor", by Otto Preminger, together with Richard Attenborough, Derek Jacobi and John Gielgud.

paragraph: In the 1990s Doderer finally succeeded in shedding his comedian image, and he played serious roles in Dutch theaters under the direction of Ivo van Hove and Ger Thijs.

paragraph: Sándor Weöres

paragraph: Sándor Weöres (; 22 June 1913 – 22 January 1989) was a Hungarian poet and author.

paragraph: Born in Szombathely, Weöres was brought up in the nearby village of Csönge. His first poems appeared when he was fourteen, being published in the influential journal "Nyugat" ("West") through the acceptance of its editor, the poet Mihály Babits. Weöres attended the University of Pécs, studying law first before moving on to geography and history. He ultimately received a doctorate in philosophy and aesthetics. His doctoral dissertation "The Birth of the Poem" was published in 1939. It was in 1937 that he made the first of his travels abroad, going first to Manila for a Eucharistic Congress and then visiting Vietnam and India. During World War II Weöres was drafted for compulsory labor, but was not sent to the front. After the end of the war, he returned to Csönge and briefly lived as a farmer.

paragraph: In 1948 Weöres again travelled abroad, residing in Italy until 1949. In 1951 he settled in Budapest where he would reside for the rest of his life. The imposition of Stalinism in Hungary after 1948 silenced Weöres and until 1964 little could be published.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Weöres' translations into Hungarian were wide and varied, including the works of Ukrainian national poet Taras Shevchenko, the Georgian poet Rustaveli, the Slovenian poets Oton Župančič and Josip Murn Aleksandrov. He translated Indian poet Jai dev's poetry Gita Govinda from Sanskrit. He also translated Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis" and "Henry VIII", T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land", the nonsense poems by Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, the complete poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé. His translation of the Tao Te Ching continues to be the most widely read in Hungary.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Many of Weöres' poems have been set to music. The Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály composed a choir on the poem Öregek (Old People) of the 14 years old poet, György Ligeti, a friend of the poet, set several poems from "Rongyszőnyeg" and other books in the composition "Síppal, dobbal, nádihegedüvel". Composer Peter Eötvös has composed two pieces, "Atlantis" and "Ima" with texts from Weöres' poem "Néma zene" ("Silent Music"), and in 2013 he composed "Speaking Drums" (Four Poems for Percussion Solo and Orchestra) based on the poems by Sándor Weöres.

paragraph: Savio Hon Tai-fai

paragraph: Savio Hon Tai-fai SDB (; born 21 October 1950) is a Roman Catholic archbishop and the nuncio of the Holy See to Greece. He served as secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples from 2010 to 2017. Before that he was professor of theology at the Holy Spirit Seminary of Hong Kong.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Hon was born in Hong Kong. After studying at a Salesian school, he made his first religious profession on 15 August 1969. He made perpetual vows on 15 August 1975 and was ordained a priest in Hong Kong on 17 July 1982. He received his B.A. in philosophy from the University of London and a doctorate in theology at Rome's Pontifical Salesian University.

paragraph: Hon was a visiting professor at various seminaries in China and as professor of theology at the seminary of Hong Kong. His research has appeared in a variety of journals, especially those devoted to theology. He was responsible for the translation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church into Chinese. He belongs to the Salesian Province of China which encompasses mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

paragraph: Hon became a member of the Pontifical Academy of Theology in 1999. He was named to a five-year term as a member of the International Theological Commission in 2004 and his appointment was renewed in 2009.

paragraph: On 23 December 2010 Pope Benedict XVI appointed him Titular Archbishop of Sila and secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. Hon Tai Fai had known the pope for many years, since Benedict was president of the International Theological Commission during most of Hon's tenure on the Commission.

paragraph: Hon was consecrated in Rome on 5 February 2011 by Pope Benedict, with Cardinals Angelo Sodano and Tarcisio Bertone as co-consecrators. He said of his consecration: "I could feel an airstream when the pope laid his hands with strength on my head".

paragraph: In March 2011, Hon said the planned ordination of priests by the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association meant "division ... causes great pain to the entire body ... [the] whole body is scarred and bleeding", because no bishop can be validly appointed without a papal mandate. He added that those who have resisted the will of the party, such as Monsignor Li Lianghui (Cangzhou, Hebei) are now in isolation, forced to undergo political re-education classes. He said that Chinese priests and bishops must show "some backbone" and resist government pressure out of love for Church unity and the memory of the many heroic witnesses to the faith of the past decades. Hon has sought without success to win the release from prison of two imprisoned bishops, James Su Zhimin of Baoding and Cosma Shi Enxiang of Yixian.

paragraph: In July 2011, Archbishop Hon, while addressing hundreds of delegates during the 17th plenary assembly of Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) in Nairobi, stressed the ever-increasing role of the lay faithful in evangelization. He said "Given that between 70%-80% of our church collaborators are women, AMECEA should make the effort to increase room for them in decision making processes". He warned against the culture of death especially abortion and other "ideological poisons from abroad", which are leading to the erosion of certain African values whose sense of family the church supports. "AMECEA as a community of Christians has been useful in promoting the family beyond the limits of blood relationship and tribal allegiance", he said, in reference to the many inter-ethnic conflicts engulfing the region.

paragraph: On 7 March 2012 he was appointed a member of the Pontifical Committee for the International Euchrastic Congresses. On 12 June 2012, he was appointed a member of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.

paragraph: Archbishop Hon served as the Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Agana, Guam, from 6 June 2016 until 31 October 2016 when Michael J. Byrnes was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of the archdiocese.

paragraph: On 28 September 2017 Pope Francis named him Apostolic Nuncio to Greece, his first position in the diplomatic service.

paragraph: Leonard Haigh

paragraph: Leonard Haigh (19 October 1880 – 6 August 1916) was an English rugby player. He won seven caps for between 1910 and 1911, and also represented Manchester and Lancashire.

paragraph: He enlisted with the Army Service Corps at the start of the First World War, and died of pneumonia, which he contracted while on a training exercise. He is buried in Pott Shrigley cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: Leonard Haigh was born on 19 October 1880 in Prestwich, Lancashire, the son of Charles Henry Haigh and Alice Clara Haigh. He attended Sandringham House School in Southport, where he played football and cricket.

paragraph: He was married in 1912 to Eudora Mason, and they had a son, John Guy Leonard Haigh.

paragraph: Section::::Rugby career.

paragraph: Haigh took up rugby late in life, playing for Manchester Rugby Club. From there, he earned selection for Lancashire on eighteen occasions, including the match on 25 November 1908 against , then on tour in Britain. He gained his first cap for at the age of 30, against on 15 January 1910, in the host nation's first match at Twickenham. In the last of the trials matches before the game, Haigh was selected for the Rest against England, and was on the winning side, with England's forwards especially marked out for criticism. The 10–19 defeat caused problems for the selectors, who delayed announcing the team to face Wales. When they did, two days later, Haigh was included in the line up, and on the day, England, who had lost the previous five encounters, beat the Welsh 11–6. He kept his place in the team for the match against , on 12 February, with the England selectors keeping the same team, with the exception of Mobbs replacing Poulton. After missing the game against , he played in the match against on 19 March, but only after another player withdrew from the team.

paragraph: In 1911, Haigh played in every game of the Five Nations Championship. The selectors at first excluded him from the England side, announced 29 November 1910 for the trials match against the South on 10 December. However, on 3 December, he "shone" in the County Championships match for Lancashire against Cumberland, although on the losing side. For the second trial, on 17 December, Haigh was selected for the North, and although England won the game 23–13 in heavy rain, the North's forwards "were smart... playing particularly well in the loose". "Forward", in the Welsh "Evening Express", did not think highly of the England pack, and thought it "imperative that Berry, Griffith and Haigh be included in the national side." Haigh was the only one of the three to be included in the England side for the third trial against the Rest on 7 January.

paragraph: He was invited to play for the Barbarians in two matches, against Penarth on 14 April 1911, and the following day against Cardiff, in their Easter tour of Wales.

paragraph: Section::::Military service.

paragraph: Haigh joined the Army Service Corps as an Officer Cadet at the start of the First World War. At the time, motor vehicles were beginning to replace horses as a means of transport. Haigh was a motor enthusiast and his mechanical knowledge was of particular value to the Army. He was, therefore, not sent to the front line. He died on 6 August 1916 of pneumonia, which he had contracted during a training exercise. He is buried in the cemetery of St Christopher's Church, Pott Shrigley.

paragraph: Perciphull Campbell

paragraph: Perciphull Campbell, Sr. (17671853) was one of the original settlers prior to 1778 in north Rowan County, Province of North Carolina. This area later would become Iredell County, North Carolina in 1788 and after his death it became Union Grove Township in 1868. He was a moderately prosperous land owner, planter and miller, who migrated from Culpeper County, Colony of Virginia to the Province of North Carolina with his family before the U.S. Revolutionary War in which his two older brothers served. He was a justice of the peace and active in the formation of the town of Williamsburgh in north Iredell County. His home and mill that he built on Hunting Creek in about 1820, as well as the Campbell family cemetery, near what is now the unicorporated town of Union Grove, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house and cemetery have survived into the 21st century but the mill and covered bridge near the mill were destroyed in the late 1930s.

paragraph: Section::::Early life in Virginia and move to North Carolina.

paragraph: Perciphull Campbell was born on April 13, 1767 in Culpeper County, Colony of Virginia. He was the son of Adam Campbell and Sarah (Morgan) Campbell, who were Scotch-Irish immigrants and were married in Culpeper County in about 1753. Sometime prior to 1775, Adam Campbell migrated with his family from Culpeper County to Rowan County, where he purchased a 300 acre tract of land on the north and south side of Hunting Creek near the Wilkes and Surry County lines. This area, which would become Iredell County in 1788, contains the Campbell Family Cemetery which is a historic landmark and may be the site where Adam was buried when he died in about 1783.

paragraph: Perciphull was the youngest child of six known children of Adam and Sarah that were all born in Culpeper County:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Keziah Campbell (17581845): She married Henry Horne Hayes in North Carolina. After his death in 1815, she moved to Hancock County, Indiana with her children. She died in Brownsville Township, Hancock County in 1845.

paragraph: BULLET::::2. William R. Campbell (August 1, 17561846): William served in the American Revolution. He was in the Surry County Regiment (17751776), as a private under Capt. John Hamlin and Col. Martin Armstrong. In 1780, he was a private under Capt. Benjamin Herndon (Wilkes County Regiment) in the Salisbury District Brigade when commanded by Col. William Lee Davidson. In 1780, he was also a private under Capt. Jacob Nichols in the Rowan County Regiment of the North Carolina militia. In May 1781, he was a private under Capt. Alexander Brevard (1st North Carolina Regiment) for 12 months. He was discharged on April 28, 1782 as a shoemaker attached to the 3rd North Carolina Regiment) at the Continental Shoe Factory in Rowan County. William Campbell sold his land on the north side of Hunting Creek to Thomas Huey of Iredell County, North Carolina in 1801. He was living in Garrard County, Kentucky at the time of this sale. He later moved to Crawford County, Indiana.

paragraph: BULLET::::3. John Campbell (17591834): John also served in the Revolutionary War. He was a private in the Rowan County Regiment (17791780) in Captain Jacob Nichols' company and later in Captain John George Lowman's company. In 1780, he was a private in the companies of Captain Benjamin Herndon, Captain Joel Lewis, and Capt. William Nall. He was taken as prisoner of war at the Battle of Camden, South Carolina and later escaped. He moved to Wilkes County after the war. John married Cora Mullis (about 17591858) in Wilkes County after the war in 1785. John received a pension for his service in 1834. In 1843, Cora received a widow's pension for John's Revolutionary War service. Perciphull Campbell and his son, Theophilus Campbell helped Cora obtain this pension in 1843 (pension file number W-6616)

paragraph: BULLET::::4. Mary Polly (Campbell) Coleman (17601834): She married Charles Coleman in 1781 in Wilkes County, where she died in 1834.

paragraph: BULLET::::6. Perciphull Campbell (17671853): He married Sarah Elizabeth Cook in 1788 in Iredell County, where they remained the rest of their lives.

paragraph: Some family historians have speculated that there was another daughter, Malinda Campbell (17761838), who married Miller A. Wood in New York (city) in 1796, and died in Greene County, Illinois. However, the connection to Adam Campbell is speculative.

paragraph: Perciphull's name has been recorded several different ways on official documents--including P. Campbell, Sr. (most common), Purcival, Percephull, Penniful, and John Pierce. In his will, which was probably written by him or by his son (Perciphull Campbell, Jr.), the spelling appears to be "Perciphull. His son was referred to as either Perciphull Campbell, Jr. or Perciphull Campbell, Esq. The given name John Pierce is common in his ancestors.

paragraph: Section::::Chronology of events in the life of Adam and Perciphull.

paragraph: The following events show the chronology of Perhciphull's father, Adam Campbell, and Perciphull as they left Virginia and moved to North Carolina. These events are documented in court records, land transactions, the Revolutionary War pension application of his brother John and John's widow Corah, application for National Historic Site of the Perciphull Campbell House and Campbell Cemetery, and books about the history of Rowan County and Iredell County. They are listed here to help understand this chronology and how it fits together.

paragraph: BULLET::::- April 22, 1763, Adam Campbell was listed three times in the County Court Minute Book of Culpeper County, Virginia 1763-1764 (Culpeper County was formed in 1749 from Orange County). The subject of the court cases is not known.

paragraph: BULLET::::- April 1, 1778, John Henderson filed a State Land Grant (vacant land entry) in Rowan County, North Carolia, for 200 acres on the south side of Hunting Creek adjoining Adam Campbell's land to the south and the rest vacant land. This was the first record of Adam Campbell in North Carolina.

paragraph: BULLET::::- August 4, 1778, Theophilus Morgan (a neighbor and in-law of Perciphull) filed a State Land Grant in Rowan County, North Carolina, for 150 acres on north side of the South Fork of Hunting Creek including his improvement and adjoining the Surry County line

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1778, Theophilus Morgan (a neighbor and in-law) obtained a State Land Grants for 239 acres on the north side of Hunting Creek, entered in 1778, issued in 1783

This would imply Adam was there before 1778.

paragraph: BULLET::::- September 4, 1778, William Campbell (Perciphull's oldest brother) obtained a State Land Grant for 175 acres on the north side of Hunting Creek, entered on September 4, 1778, issued on October 10, 1783.

paragraph: BULLET::::- November 18, 1778, Adam Campbell was listed in Captain Nichols District in the 1778 Tax List with an estate valued at 529 Pounds. Adlai Osborne compiled this Tax List of Rowan County land owners to raise money for the upcoming Revolutionary War, including Capt Caldwell's, Capt Nichols', Capt Falls', and Capt Purviance's Districts that would become part of Iredell County in 1788. John Campbell served with Captain Nichols in the Rowan County Regiment.

paragraph: BULLET::::- May 25, 1779, William Taylor filed a State Land Grant for 100 acres in the fork of the Rocky Branch of Hunting Creek adjoining Adam Campbell. This land was later transferred to Martin Morgan.

paragraph: BULLET::::- December 25, 1779, James Woodburn filed a State Land Grant in Rowan County, North Carolina, for 400 acres on the waters of Hunting Creek adjoining Adam Campbell and his own land

paragraph: BULLET::::- October 10, 1783: State Grant Book 9, pages 468 and 470, Elizabeth Campbell and her oldest son William Campbell received land grants for the same lands that Adam Campbell had filed for in his land entries. Adam Campbell died sometime between December 1779 and October 10, 1783 in Rowan County, North Carolina, now north Iredell County, and he is probably buried at the Campbell Family cemetery on the land.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In 1784 or 1785, Perciphull was present in Wilkes County, North Carolina at the marriage of his brother, John Campbell.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1788, Perciphull married Sarah "Sallie" Elizabeth Cook in Rowan County (November 3, 1788 it became Iredell County)

paragraph: BULLET::::- June 5, 1795, Perciphull Campbell bought 100 acres of land on a creek in Iredell County from Elizabeth Campbell for 20 pounds currency. This was his first land holding.

paragraph: Section::::Perciphull and Sarah'schildren.

paragraph: Perciphull Campbell married Sarah Elizabeth Cook (1767-1848) in 1788 in Rowan County (probably in the area that became Iredell County in 1788), North Carolina. Perciphull and Sarah Campbell had the following children (all born in Iredell County):

paragraph: BULLET::::1. William R. "Billie" Campbell (17901844): He married Jensie Jane Morgan in about 1810 and moved to Tennessee and then Izard County, Arkansas before 1840.

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Perciphull Pierce Campbell, Jr. (17921862): He married Tabitha Morgan (1797 - 1879) in about 1814 and remained in Iredell County.

paragraph: BULLET::::3. Captain Theophilus Marion "Othie" Campbell (17971855): He married Tabitha Renee "Arena" Allen (1816-abt 1880) in about 1832. He served in the War of 1812. Arena and her children moved to Izard County, Arkansas in about 1850 without Theophilus. Theophilus was the Iredell County representative to the North Carolina House of Commons in 18361837. He acquired considerable debt which he had to pay off with his father's inheritance, which he sold to debtors for one dollar.

paragraph: BULLET::::4. John R. Campbell (1802-1872): He married June Lucy Williams (18151901) in about 1835. He lived out his life in Iredell County.

paragraph: BULLET::::8. William Rutherford Campbell (1813-1883): He married Mary (Polly) Howard (18151894) in 1835; moved to Izard County, Arkansas

paragraph: Two of his children, Billie and William Rutherford Campbell, as well as Theophilus's estranged wife, Tabitha, moved to Izard County, Arkansas before the Civil War. Life was very hard on people in Izard County during the Civil War due to tremendous destruction, isolation, and failing crops. However, the family that remained in North Carolina were still in touch with those that attended the Campbell family reunion in Union Grove, North Carolina in 1925. The rest of his children remained in north Iredell County and neighboring Wilkes County, North Carolina.

paragraph: Section::::Growth of Perciphull's estate.

paragraph: Perciphull was too young (age nine in 1776) to be a soldier in the American Revolution. Adam Campbell's land north of Hunting Creek was deeded to his son William R. in 1783, probably upon Adam's death. That land was deeded to Claiborne Howard and Thomas Huie later in 1805 when William moved west. Adam's land south of Hunting Creek was deeded to his wife, Elizabeth in 1783, where she probably lived with Perciphull and his sister, Sarah, until she married. This land was deeded to Perciphull in 1795. On this land, he began to build a moderately prosperous plantation, including house and mills on the Hunting Creek in the early 1800s. He gradually accumulated slaves to help run the plantation and mills. By 1850, he owned 21 slaves.

paragraph: Perciphull accumulated a considerable estate during his lifetime. According to deeds on file in the Iredell County Courthouse, Perciphull Campbell bought an additional 1,081 acres of land north and south of the Hunting Creek and on the waters of the Rocky Branch between 1798 and 1836.

paragraph: BULLET::::- May 15, 1798, Peciphull bought land on a creek bank near points of rock and Lunceford's line from Elizabeth Campbell

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1819, Perciphull bought several tracts of land (250, 151, 20 acres) on Hunting Creek

paragraph: BULLET::::- May 10, 1822, Perciphull bought additional 160 acres of land on Hunting Creek from Alexander Hall and Stephen Sharpe for $200 and

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1829, Perciphull bought a parcel of land on Hunting Creek from Martin Morgan for $100

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1836, Perciphull bought 750 acres on Big Rocky Creek for $4,000. Perciphull Campbell, Sr. lived here until his death. His home on Rocky Creek was later called the J.P. Bolin homeplace. His son, Perciphull Campbell, Jr. occupied his home and mill on Hunting Creek after his father moved to Rocky Creek.

paragraph: Perciphull Campbell was a justice of the peace in Iredell County. In this capacity, he was able to perform marriages. In a local poll, six of the couples that he married were known to be pro-Andrew Jackson in the presidential election of 1828.

paragraph: On September 8, 1843, Perciphull sold two acres of land on Hunting Creek for $10 to a committee of Iredell County School District Number 4 for the purpose of building a free school. School District 4 was located on the north side of Hunting Creek.

paragraph: Section::::Growth of Perciphull's estate.:House and mills.

paragraph: Perciphull built his first home on Hunting Creek in about 1820. This property included a smoke house, main house in the I-frame style, grist mills powered by the Hunting Creek using tubs, slaves, and later a covered bridge over the Hunting Creek. The principal crops on the estate were wheat, rye, oats, and corn (most widely produced).

paragraph: When Perciphull died, his oldest living son, Perciphull Campbell, Jr. inherited the Hunting Creek house and mill. Perciphull Campbell, Jr. lived there with his wife, Tabitha, from 1836 until his death in 1863. After Perciphill Campbell, Jr.'s death, his wife Tabitha lived on the estate with their oldest son, Leolin V. Campbell. Leolin died intestate in 1888 and the estate was first owned by his estranged wife, Margaret Emma (Buxton) Campbell. After she died in 1864, the estate passed to his daughter by his first marriage, Alice Campbell, who lived there until she died in 1939. Although the mill was a working mill into the 20th century, few remnants remain. The house on Hunting Creek was still occupied in 2019. The covered bridge was still there in the late 1930s and was the last covered bridge in Iredell County. After Alice's death, the estate was no longer owned by Perchiphull Campbell's descendants. Perciphull, Sr. and Jr., Leolin, and Alice Campbell are all buried at the Campbell Family cemetery near the unincorporated town of Union Grove.

paragraph: There was severe flooding in Iredell County in August 1848 that left only three mills operatingthe Campbell Mill, Jennings mill, and the Diffy Mill.

paragraph: Section::::Growth of Perciphull's estate.:Slaves.

paragraph: Perciphull did not own any slaves in 1790. However, he owned one slave in 1800, four slaves in 1810, one slave in 1820, and two slaves in 1830. After his house and mills were completed and operating, he acquired more slaves and owned up to 26 slaves and was one of larger slave owners in Iredell County. When his will was written in 1844, he owned 24 slaves and 1,600 acres of land (including more than one mill), as well as $204 in cash. In 1850, his estate was valued at $5,000 and he owned 21 slaves.

paragraph: He was enumerated in the 1850 U.S. Census with his grandchildren Theophilus Parks and John P. Parkes, children of his daughter Mary Polly (Campbell) Parks who married Gabriel B. Parks. In this census, Perciphull's birthplace was listed as Virginia and the value of his real estate was listed at $5,000. His wife, Sarah, had died on February 28, 1848 and he was a widower.

paragraph: The 1850 U.S. Slave Schedule for Iredell County lists two P. Campbells. One (probably Perciphull, Sr.) with 21 slaves (slave ages one to 55 years) and one (probably Perciphull, Jr.) with 10 slaves (slave ages ages ten to 45 years). Other family members with slaves in 1850 included: his grandson L.V. Campbell (3 slaves), his grandson Milton Campbell (9 slaves), his grandson Williamson Campbell (1 slave), his son John R. Campbell (one slave). and his son in law B. Morgan (two slaves). In the 1860 Slave Schedule his sons owned slaves: P. Campbell owned 10 slaves and John R. Campbell owned three slaves. His son in law, Bart Morgan, owned 7 slaves. His grandsons also owned slaves: Milton Campbell owned 11 slaves; L.V. Campbell owned three slaves; Williamson owned six slaves

paragraph: Little is known about the lives of the Campbell family slaves. His slaves were passed to his living children in his will written in 1844:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Perciphill Campbell, Jr. inherited slaves named Big Issac, Susannah, Marian, and Canah

paragraph: BULLET::::- Theophilus M. Campbell inherited slaves named James, Peter, Silvey, and Andrew

paragraph: BULLET::::- John R. Campbell inherited slaves named Nelson, Betty, Lee and Marandy

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sarah (Campbell) Morgan inherited slaves named Huldy, Jane, Eli, Catherine, Emily and Sarah.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Frances (Campbell) Dobbins inherited slaves Miry and Little Isaac

paragraph: BULLET::::- William Rutherford Campbell inherited slaves Bryant, Frany, Burton, and Rachel

paragraph: Additional slaves sold after his death included: Stephen, Lawson and Jincy sold to Williams R. Campbell; Jack and Lucky sold to B. Morgan; Sally and Silas sold to John R. Campbell; Charley sold to Joseph James; Enos sold to Noah Cline; and Martha and Sarah sold to John P. Parks;

paragraph: Some of the slaves continued to stay in the area. When the slaves were emancipated after the Civil War, the female slave named Hulda (born in June 1824) took the last name Morgan and was living near the Campbell mill in Union Grove in 1870 with three young boys (Jack, Dick and Burton Morgan). She later moved to Statesville, North Carolina where she was living in 1900 with her son Jackson. Nothing is currently known about the other slaves. The female slave, Catherine, also took the last name Morgan and was a domestic servant in the house of William Buxton and Ema (Buxton) Campbell (Leolin V. Campbell's estranged wife) in 1870.

paragraph: Section::::Founding of the town of Williamsburg.

paragraph: Perciphull lived in an area that was about 20 miles north of Statesville, the first town in Iredell County. Statesville was created on the site of the old Fourth Creek Congregation in 1789. The earliest church in the area where Perciphull lived was Grassy Knob Baptist Church (established in 1794), where he was amongst the first members according to the church history. The nearest town of any size was Houstonville, established by Christopher Houston as the second Iredell County town in 1789 and a post office was established there in 1804. Christopher Houston thought the north end of the county needed a town. However, Christopher moved to Tennessee in 1815 and the town of Houstonville never became more than a small community.

paragraph: There was a need for a town in the north end of the county. With his growing stature as a successful planter, Perciphull was chosen as one of the commissioners appointed by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1815 to lay out a new town, Williamsburg, in north Iredell County. The other commissioners were Amos Sharpe (brother of William Sharpe, Reuben Morgan (son of Theophilus Morgan), and John Cowden. Williamsburg was the second town to be established by legislative act in Iredell County. The town was laid off on lands owned by William Harbin and James Moody. Early land records show a King Street and Stewart Street in Williamsburg. A post office was established in Williamsburg in 1817 with William Harbin as postmaster. There is some evidence that a tavern owned by William Harbin existed in Williamsburg before 1830 and there are family traditions of a horse racing circuit near the town. William Harbin gave the land where the tavern was located to form a church, Macedonia Methodist Church which continued to the 21st century. Jesse Fraley and his brother John A. Fraley had a general store in Williamsburg as early as 1842. Other pre-Civil War towns in this area included New Hope Forge (post office established in 1827) and Crater's Mill (post office established in 1851). After the U.S. Civil War, the town of Williamsburg was overshadowed by the communities of Harmony and Union Grove. Most of Perciphull's descendents that remained in North Carolina lived closer to Union Grove and Harmony. The post office in Williamsburg lasted until 1905. Eventually, the charter for the forgotten town of Williamsburg was repealed by the state legislature in 1971.

paragraph: Section::::Religion and death.

paragraph: Perciphull Campbell died on June 6, 1853 and was buried in the Campbell Family Cemetery, along with his wife who predeceased him. According to Perciphull's tombstone inscription, he was a Mason. He was a Baptist and worshipped at the Grassy Knob Baptist Church (established in 1794), which was the only church in the area before 1800. Zion Baptist Church, near Union Grove, was established on June 4, 1825. His descendants have and continue to worship at both churches.

paragraph: Section::::Descendants.

paragraph: After Perciphull's death on June 6, 1853, some of the descendants of Perciphull Campbell continued to live and work in Union Grove Township well into the 21st century. Beginning in 1925, the Campbell family began a tradition of family reunions and documented the history of the Campbell family descended from Perchipull Campbell. There were between 2,000 and 2,500 people at this first reunion. Through 1925, the family that remained in Union Grove Township continued to correspond with relations that had moved to Izard County, Arkansas before the U.S. Civil War. The "History of the Campbell Family" was compiled in 1925 by Henry Pierce Van Hoy using locally available property records, wills, and oral traditions. (He was a descendant of Sarah Campbell, daughter of John R. Campbell, who married William A. Van Hoy.) It was given out at the first annual Campbell family reunion in Union Grove, Iredell, North Carolina. Later generations using modern genealogical methods with greater access to records of the time of Adam Campbell and his descendants have verified and added to the history in the 1925 history.

paragraph: Jerónimo de Vivar

paragraph: Jerónimo de Vivar was a Spanish historian of the early conquest and settlement of the Kingdom of Chile, and author of "Crónica y relación copiosa y verdadera de los reinos de Chile".

paragraph: Little is known about his life except that according to his own conclusion to the "Crónica" he was born in Burgos, Spain. He had come to the Indies some time before coming to Chile but no record of his passage was recorded. It is thought he arrived in Chile with the forces returning in 1549, from Peru with Francisco de Villagra overland. This gave him an opportunity to make detailed observation on the places and people in northern Chile that appear in the "Crónica".

paragraph: Vivar was an eyewitness to some events, like Pedro de Valdivia's overland expedition to settle Concepcion and the Battle of Andalien in 1550, some of the sea voyages described, and the expedition to settle Valdivia and the exploration of the surrounding area. He often wrote based on reports of others that had witnessed the events from the time of the first settlement, including official documents. Because of similarities to these documents some historians believed he was actually Valdivia's secretary, Juan de Cárdenas writing under a pseudonym. However a study of their known movements and activities precluded that being the case.

paragraph: It is thought that he was working to compile a detailed account of the history of the conquest and an account of the land of Chile promised by Pedro de Valdivia to the king of Spain in a letter of 1552. This task he finished while in Santiago, in 1558 according to his colophon in the book. Nothing more is known about him. His book remained a manuscript. It was known to the Chilean historian Diego de Rosales writing in the following century and listed by a few other compilers of historical documents at that time. It then disappeared and was only found in the middle of the Twentieth century, being first published by the Fondo Histórico y Bibliográfico José Toribio Medina in 1966.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early career.

paragraph: Sledge was born on November 25, 1941, in Leighton, Alabama. He worked in a series of agricultural jobs in the fields in Leighton, before taking a job as an orderly at Colbert County Hospital in Sheffield, Alabama. Through the mid-1960s, he toured the Southeast with the Esquires Combo on weekends, while working at the hospital during the week. A former patient and mutual friend of Sledge and record producer Quin Ivy introduced the two. An audition followed, and Sledge was signed to a recording contract.

paragraph: Sledge's soulful voice was perfect for the series of soul ballads produced by Ivy and Marlin Greene, which rock critic Dave Marsh called "emotional classics for romantics of all ages". "When a Man Loves a Woman" was Sledge's first song recorded under the contract, and was released in March 1966. According to Sledge, the inspiration for the song came when his girlfriend left him for a modelling career after he was laid off from a construction job in late 1965, and, because bassist Calvin Lewis and organist Andrew Wright helped him with the song, he gave all the songwriting credits to them. It reached No. 1 in the US and went on to become an international hit. When a Man Loves a Woman" was a hit twice in the UK, reaching No. 4 in 1966 and, on reissue, peaked at No. 2 in 1987. The song was also the first gold record released by Atlantic Records. The soul anthem became the cornerstone of Sledge's career, and was followed by "Warm and Tender Love" (covered by British singer Elkie Brooks in 1981), "It Tears Me Up", "Take Time to Know Her" (his second biggest US hit, reaching No. 11; the song's lyric was written by Steve Davis), "Love Me Tender", and "Cover Me".

paragraph: Sledge charted with "I'll Be Your Everything" and "Sunshine" during the 1970s, and became an international concert favorite throughout the world, especially in the Netherlands, Germany, and on the African continent; he averaged 100 concerts a year in South Africa.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later career.

paragraph: Sledge's career enjoyed a renaissance in the 1980s when "When a Man Loves a Woman" re-entered the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 2 behind the reissued Ben E. King classic "Stand by Me", after being used in a Levi's commercial. In the early 1990s, Michael Bolton brought "When a Man Loves a Woman" back into the limelight again on his hit album "Time, Love, & Tenderness". On the week of November 17 to November 23, 1991, Bolton's version also hit No. 1 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 singles chart, exactly 25½ years to the week after Percy's did in 1966.

paragraph: In 1994, Saul Davis and Barry Goldberg produced Sledge's album, "Blue Night," for Philippe Le Bras' Sky Ranch label and Virgin Records. It featured Bobby Womack, Steve Cropper, and Mick Taylor among others. "Blue Night" received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album, Vocal or Instrumental, and in 1996 it won the W.C. Handy Award for best soul or blues album.

paragraph: In 2004, Davis and Goldberg also produced the "Shining Through the Rain" album, which preceded his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Songs on the CD were written by Mikael Rickfors, Steve Earle, the Bee Gees, Carla Olson, Denny Freeman, Allan Clarke and Jackie Lomax. The same year Percy recorded a live album with his band Sunset Drive entitled "Percy Sledge and Sunset Drive – Live in Virginia" on WRM Records produced by Warren Rodgers.

paragraph: In May 2007, Percy was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame in his home city of Baton Rouge, LA.

paragraph: In December 2010, Rhino Handmade issued a four-CD retrospective, "The Atlantic Recordings", which covers all of the issued Atlantic masters, as well as many of the tracks unissued in the United States (although some were simply the mono versions of songs originally issued in stereo; Disc 1 comprises Sledge's first two LPs which were not recorded on stereo equipment). In 2011 Sledge toured with Sir Cliff Richard during his Soulicious tour, performing "I'm Your Puppet".
