PART IV Centennial Celebration of Montgomery County S THE one-hundredth anniversary of the erection, or establishment of Montgomery County drew near, many of the most influential citizens felt that the event should be properly and fittingly celebrated. The first movement towards this end was made by the Historical Society of Montgomery County. At a regular meeting of that organization held May 25, 1882, Col. Theo. W. Bean, President, in the chair, the project was discussed at some length, and the chair on motion, appointed a committee, to confer with a similar committee of the County officials, and to consider the proper observances of that occasion. The committee consisted of F. G. Hobson, Esq., Hon. Jones Detwiler and A. K. Thomas. The County officials met the same day at the office of Irving P. Wanger, Esq., District Attorney and the following committee was appointed: Henry W. Kratz, Recorder of Deeds; J. Roberts Rambo, Register of Wills, and Jacob R. Yost, County Treasurer. These two committees met and discussed plans for the celebration. It was determined that a general committee be appointed, consisting of one person from each election district in the county, into whose hands the work of the celebration be placed.* The General Committee was gradually selected. Also an "Auxiliary Committee in Philadelphia," composed of persons identified with the County, but residing in Philadelphia at that time. Many meetings for the discussion of plans, ways and means, were held, extending over two years. At the meeting held May 29, 1884, it was deter *Note.--The committees, programme, exhibits, etc., were taken from the stenographic report of the Montgomery County Centennial Celebration, published by "The Centennial Association of Montgomery...

Download or read book Handbook of the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States written by William A. Kretzschmar and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-09-15 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who uses "skeeter hawk," "snake doctor," and "dragonfly" to refer to the same insect? Who says "gum band" instead of "rubber band"? The answers can be found in the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS), the largest single survey of regional and social differences in spoken American English. It covers the region from New York state to northern Florida and from the coastline to the borders of Ohio and Kentucky. Through interviews with nearly twelve hundred people conducted during the 1930s and 1940s, the LAMSAS mapped regional variations in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation at a time when population movements were more limited than they are today, thus providing a unique look at the correspondence of language and settlement patterns. This handbook is an essential guide to the LAMSAS project, laying out its history and describing its scope and methodology. In addition, the handbook reveals biographical information about the informants and social histories of the communities in which they lived, including primary settlement areas of the original colonies. Dialectologists will rely on it for understanding the LAMSAS, and historians will find it valuable for its original historical research. Since much of the LAMSAS questionnaire concerns rural terms, the data collected from the interviews can pinpoint such language differences as those between areas of plantation and small-farm agriculture. For example, LAMSAS reveals that two waves of settlement through the Appalachians created two distinct speech types. Settlers coming into Georgia and other parts of the Upper South through the Shenandoah Valley and on to the western side of the mountain range had a Pennsylvania-influenced dialect, and were typically small farmers. Those who settled the Deep South in the rich lowlands and plateaus tended to be plantation farmers from Virginia and the Carolinas who retained the vocabulary and speech patterns of coastal areas. With these revealing findings, the LAMSAS represents a benchmark study of the English language, and this handbook is an indispensable guide to its riches.
