J. Fahrney,  Daily News-Record , February 2, 1937.","John Jerome Fahrney (1863/1864-1937) was born in Rockingham County, Virginia to Peter and Treacy Hannah Fahrney. Fahrney was an inventor, wheelwright, blacksmith, mechanic, and broom factory operator. He was also the founder and president of Fahrney Wheel Corporation. Fahrney held several patents for inventions that improved the functionality of automobiles.","Per auctioneer's catalog, the collection was from the Fritz and Loretta Orebaugh estate in New Market, Virginia.","The materials were received in disorder and with no particular arrangement. The archivist imposed an order based on material format.","The J. J. Fahrney Papers, 1886-1936, primarily document the Fahrney Wheel Corporation (variously J. J. Fahrney \u0026 Sons) and its proprietor J. J. Fahrney of Timberville, Virginia.","Financial documents primarily comprise invoices from Cray Brothers, Standard Oil Company, Duplex Mill \u0026 Manufacturing Co., and Ford Motor Company. A blank Fahrney Wheel Corporation subscription booklet is included along with a 1916 invoice from Henkel \u0026 Company Printers, Publishers for \"setting up type forms for subscription for stock.\"  The collection also includes three deeds for land in Timberville.","Automobile related advertising circulars and marketing materials also include correspondence. Companies from which Fahrney received circulars include Firestone; Capt. W. A. Collings, Inc.; The Holsman Automobile Company; and The Air-Friction Carburetor Company.   ","Correspondence is primarily business related and concerns Fahrney's business and inventions, but a small selection of letters are more personal in nature. For example, an October 4, 1916 letter from Fahrney's wife Annie provides an update on happenings in Timberville while Fahrney is in Hagerstown, Maryland. A 1926 letter to his daughter Gladys is also included. Other correspondents include Metz Company, Standard Oil Company, patent attorney E. G. Siggers, and Cray Brothers.","Patents issued to J. J. Fahrney include water pump attachment for automobiles (1915), explosion engine vaporizers for heavy fuels (1916), tire heaters (1919), and cider press (1925).","Ephemera includes Fahrney Patent Automobile Wheel advertising postcards, a Fahrney Wheel Corporation card listing the company's board of directors, and wheel imagery.

Gabbin taught at Roosevelt University, Chicago State University, and Lincoln University before she was hired at James Madison University in 1985 as a Commonwealth Visiting Professor. She became the director of the Honors Program (now the Honors College) in 1986, where she served for 19 years and founded many programs that define the Honors College today. ","In 1994, she organized the first Furious Flower Poetry Conference, which she held at JMU and in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks. The event was considered historic and likely the largest gathering of African American poets and literature scholars to that date. After a second successful conference a decade later, JMU chartered the Furious Flower Poetry Center in 2005, the nation's first academic center devoted to Black poetry. ","The author/editor of numerous books and founder of the Wintergreen Women Writers' Collective, Gabbin's contributions to the academic field of African American poetry have been acknowledged with awards and honors from such organizations as the HistoryMakers Archives, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the College Language Association and the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent, among many others. Her publications include  Sterling A. Brown: Building the Black Aesthetic Tradition  (1985), which was reissued in 1994 by the University Press of Virginia and the children's book  I Bet She Called Me Sugar Plum  (2004). She also edited  The Furious Flowering of African American Poetry  (1999),  Furious Flower: African American Poetry from the Black Arts Movement to the Present  (2004),  Furious Flower: Seeding the Future of African American Poetry  (2020),  Shaping Memories: Reflections of African American Women Writers  (2009), and  Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy  (2009).

Gabbin Papers, 1930-2017 [bulk 1960-2017], contain the professional, academic, and personal papers of Joanne V. Gabbin, professor of English at James Madison University and director of the Furious Flower Poetry Center. The materials chiefly relate to her professional role as an influential figure in the African American literary community and include manuscripts she wrote or edited, notes and materials from events where she spoke or was featured, and her correspondence with publishers, professional organizations, and other members of the African American literary community. Other materials include articles for research or teaching purposes, syllabi, documents and correspondence related to her role as professor and head of the JMU Honors College, personal correspondence, and documents related to her role as director of the Furious Flower Poetry Center.","Series 1: Manuscripts, 1930-2015, includes manuscripts authored by Gabbin and her colleagues. The majority of the series is made up of edits and drafts of the anthology manuscript that would be come to known as  Shaping Memories: Reflections of African American Women Writers . This manuscript would be the culmination of works by Gabbin and her colleagues after their annual Wintergreen Women's Writer's retreat. Also of note in this series is Gabbin's dissertation on Sterling Brown, written during her time at the University of Chicago as she pursued her master's degree and PhD.","Series 2: Research, 1960-2016, includes a wide variety of materials that relate to Gabbin's research during her time as a student in the master's and doctorate program at the University of Chicago and research for the manuscripts she wrote  and contributed to later in her life. The content mostly consists of articles from academic journals and books written on the subject at hand (e.g. Sonia Sanchez and Sterling Brown), with some interesting items including legal pads and spiral notebooks containing personal notes and thoughts on the topic being researched.","Series 3: Professional Activities, 1963-2017, comprises three subseries: general material, materials relating to the honors college at JMU, and material related to the Furious Flower Poetry Center. The items in this series relate to Gabbin's numerous speaking engagements and events held by the poetry center and honors college. This can include professional correspondence, promotional material, and invitations and programs to events held over the years.","Series 4: Teaching Materials, 1971-2013, includes items related to Joanne Gabbin's teaching career at James Madison University. The majority of this series comprises syllabi from the English classes Gabbin taught, all relating to Black Literature. Scattered throughout the series are also course evaluations, in which the majority of her students give her high marks for her enthusiasm for the material and accessible teaching style, and miscellaneous pedagogical materials likely used to inform instruction.","Series 5: Personal Papers, 1967-2016, is made up of two subseries: general personal materials and personal correspondence. Personal items cover a variety of material, which include: essays written by Gabbin when she was a student at Morgan State College and the University of Chicago (some marked up by her professors), drafted manuscripts, and a folder containing numerous drafts and illustrations for her children's book  I Bet She Called Me Sugar Plum . The personal correspondence is made up of letters written to Gabbin from former students she has had over the years (seen through numerous holiday cards and announcements), from collaborators on the manuscripts she has worked on over the years, or notes and letters written to her husband Alexander Gabbin as she attended the University of Chicago.","Series 6: Printed Ephemera and Photographs, 1961-2013, comprises chiefly newsletters, newspapers, and pamphlets. Most of the newspapers are national titles, such as the  Washington Post , with the  Daily News-Record  also being represented. Most of the articles center on events concerning African American issues. Of interest is a small pamphlet entitled \"Race and Psychology,\" dated 1961, in which the author details the history of psychological intelligence tests and how different racial/ethnic groups scored in comparison to each other. This series also contains several folders of photographs, documenting Gabbin's personal and professional life. Photographs of poets Rita Dove, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Nikki Giovanni are included.","Three poetry broadsides printed in 2017 at the Virginia Arts of the Book Center for the Virginia Festival of the Book - Heavenly Madrigal, Seasons Change Before We're Ready, and Zombie Blues Villanelle - were removed from the collection and cataloged individually.

Gabbin taught at Roosevelt University, Chicago State University, and Lincoln University before she was hired at James Madison University in 1985 as a Commonwealth Visiting Professor. She became the director of the Honors Program (now the Honors College) in 1986, where she served for 19 years and founded many programs that define the Honors College today. ","In 1994, she organized the first Furious Flower Poetry Conference, which she held at JMU and in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks. The event was considered historic and likely the largest gathering of African American poets and literature scholars to that date. After a second successful conference a decade later, JMU chartered the Furious Flower Poetry Center in 2005, the nation's first academic center devoted to Black poetry. ","The author/editor of numerous books and founder of the Wintergreen Women Writers' Collective, Gabbin's contributions to the academic field of African American poetry have been acknowledged with awards and honors from such organizations as the HistoryMakers Archives, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the College Language Association and the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent, among many others. Her publications include  Sterling A. Brown: Building the Black Aesthetic Tradition  (1985), which was reissued in 1994 by the University Press of Virginia and the children's book  I Bet She Called Me Sugar Plum  (2004).
