Paxton was born 11 Feb 1826 in New York.  Little is known about her early life.  She was married to Charles Rupert Paxton (20 Mar 1816-1 Feb 1889), a wealthy industrialist in Pennsylvania.  Paxton worked as a civil engineer on the Erie Railroad as a young man, and later bought land in Alleghany County NY which he farmed.  From there he moved to Bloomsburg, PA where he amassed a considerable fortune starting Bloomsburg Iron Company and serving as its president.  He was also president of Bloomsburg's First National Bank, a position he retained after he left the iron company and moved to Loudoun County, VA.  In 1869 Paxton came to Leesburg to purchase land on which to build a summer house.  He bought a 765-acre piece of land at auction from Abner Trundle (ca. 1833-unknown), paying $50,000.","Paxton hired New York City architect Henry C. Dudley (n.d.) to design the house. The 32-room house, called Carlheim, featured many decorative interior details such as silver hardware and elaborate plasterwork.  The exterior reflects the influence of Second Empire and Italian Villa styles, and is considered an unusual example of Victorian architecture in northern VA.   Additional structures on the property included a peacock house, barn and smokehouse made of sandstone.  John Norris (ca. 1812), owner of Norris Lumberyard, undertook construction.  Well-diggers were surprised to discover a large underground lake under the house after the structure had been built; it went dry sometime in the 1930's.  In addition to the Carlheim property, Paxton also owned approximately 7,800 acres of farm land, most of it in the Broad Run area.  He was regarded as a good landlord, taking much care with cultivation of the land and construction of buildings.","The Paxtons had one daughter, Margaret (ca. 1850-24 Jul 1900).  She married Bolivar Christian (26 Apr 1825-17 Jul 1900), a lieutenant colonel in the Confederate Army and a lawyer in Greenville, VA, on 26 May 1875.  They had one child, Charles Paxton Christian, born 8 May 1876.  The child died of diphtheria 25 June 1881.  Margaret and Bolivar separated, although it is not possible to ascertain when; census records for 1880 show her residing with her parents in Leesburg.  Bolivar Christian died a patient in Western Virginia Hospital, to which he had been admitted several times from 1 Oct 1882 until his death.  Margaret appears to have remarried.  Her obituary in the Loudoun Mirror in 1900 identifies her as Mrs. Margaret Parker of Avon, NY.  She was buried in Hornellsville, NY, though a stone bearing her name is also located in Union Cemetery with her parents and son.","After Charles Paxton died in 1899, Rachel Paxton continued to live at Carlheim.  Towards the end of her life she devoted her time to the creation of the Margaret Paxton Memorial for Convalescent Children, a memorial to her daughter.   The trust called for the house and 50 acres of land to be used to care for poor children, and established a $30,000.00 endowment to support it.  A three-person board of trustees and advisory board of visitors was named and given an additional $5,000.00 to help institute the facility.   Following Rachel Paxton's death on 30 Dec 1921, the process to shift Carlheim from residence to convalescent home began.","From 1924 to1954 the facility came to be called the Paxton Home for Children and was used during the summer months for children recovering from illness or injury.   In 1954 it became an orphanage following a court battle over the interpretation of Paxton's will.  Her heirs contended that the change violated Paxton's instructions; they were over-ruled by Circuit Court Judge R.V. Snead.  It continued to function as an orphanage until 1980, when it became a child care center.  Paxton House, as it is commonly known, operated in this capacity until 2004.","The collection consists of documents and two bound volumes, many of which are in fragile condition.

Paxton was born 11 Feb 1826 in New York.  Little is known about her early life.  She was married to Charles Rupert Paxton (20 Mar 1816-1 Feb 1889), a wealthy industrialist in Pennsylvania.  Paxton worked as a civil engineer on the Erie Railroad as a young man, and later bought land in Alleghany County NY which he farmed.  From there he moved to Bloomsburg, PA where he amassed a considerable fortune starting Bloomsburg Iron Company and serving as its president.  He was also president of Bloomsburg's First National Bank, a position he retained after he left the iron company and moved to Loudoun County, VA.  In 1869 Paxton came to Leesburg to purchase land on which to build a summer house.  He bought a 765-acre piece of land at auction from Abner Trundle (ca. 1833-unknown), paying $50,000.  \u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003ePaxton hired New York City architect Henry C. Dudley (n.d.) to design the house. The 32-room house, called Carlheim, featured many decorative interior details such as silver hardware and elaborate plasterwork.  The exterior reflects the influence of Second Empire and Italian Villa styles, and is considered an unusual example of Victorian architecture in northern VA.   Additional structures on the property included a peacock house, barn and smokehouse made of sandstone.  John Norris (ca. 1812), owner of Norris Lumberyard, undertook construction.  Well-diggers were surprised to discover a large underground lake under the house after the structure had been built; it went dry sometime in the 1930's.  In addition to the Carlheim property, Paxton also owned approximately 7,800 acres of farm land, most of it in the Broad Run area.  He was regarded as a good landlord, taking much care with cultivation of the land and construction of buildings.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eThe Paxtons had one daughter, Margaret (ca. 1850-24 Jul 1900).

They had one child, Charles Paxton Christian, born 8 May 1876.  The child died of diphtheria 25 June 1881.  Margaret and Bolivar separated, although it is not possible to ascertain when; census records for 1880 show her residing with her parents in Leesburg.  Bolivar Christian died a patient in Western Virginia Hospital, to which he had been admitted several times from 1 Oct 1882 until his death.  Margaret appears to have remarried.

The trust called for the house and 50 acres of land to be used to care for poor children, and established a $30,000.00 endowment to support it.

A Board of Governors was appointed, and Mrs. Lodge elected as the club's first president. Acceptance of The Loudoun Woman's Club into the VFWC was announced at a meeting held 4 Nov 1944. In 1946, the club adopted the iris as its flower, and purple and gold as the club's colors. The club was incorporated in 1948.

Four committees were also formed at the first meeting: Hospitality, Publicity, Membership, and Registrar.","From the beginning, the arts were a strong area of interest. A music committee was established early in the history of the club, and music was an important part of its activities and programs.

The 1986-1990 minutes, unlike others, were arranged in reverse chronological order. The 1996-2000 minutes include treasurer's and annual reports. There is also a duplicate set of minutes kept by Mrs. Arthur S. (Pearl Shreve) Jenkins (24 Sep 1891-14 Jul 1978), president from 1948-1951. These contain many inserts such as correspondence, notes, and newspaper clippings.","The collection also contains six scrapbooks. Two are scrapbooks put together by club presidents, which include photographs, cards, mementos, programs, and newspaper clippings. Four additional Club Scrapbooks contain correspondence, clippings, and reports.

Taylor Chamblin (24 Mar 1901-10 Aug 1968), Sally R. Speer (nd), Julia Monroe (22 Aug 1892-Apr 1984), and Alice James (12 Jan 1887-20 May 1946).  The club's constitution says, \"The purpose of Sesame shall be to study history, sociology, art and literature for the cultural improvement of the members.'  From 1932 to1952 Sesame's fiscal and program year was from September to September; in 1952 it was changed to begin in January.","The structure of the club is rather informal; the constitution provides that a nominating committee, appointed in September, propose a slate of officers consisting of president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer who are elected in November to serve one year terms.  The constitution also provides for the August appointment of a program committee.  The committee is responsible for selecting a topic for the following year and assigning club members to prepare and present programs, which are given at each regular monthly meeting.  Meetings are usually held in the home of one of the members.  Ad hoc committees can and have been appointed as needed.  Throughout the club's history program topics have included the history and culture of a number of countries, literature, music, fashion, art, and many other areas of interest.","At the time of processing these records date from 1932 when the club was established and continue through 2006; it is an open collection - additions will be made periodically since the club is still active.   The records of early years are incomplete, and from May 1943 until August 1944 the club did not meet.  It reconvened in that month and has continued to meet regularly.   Until 1947 programs were written and presented by members. Since that time, programs have been oral.  Efforts have been made to obtain and preserve written copies of more recent programs and, when available, these are included in the files.","Programs and attendance records of the Sesame Club, constituted \"to study history, sociology, art and literature for the cultural improvement of the members.\"","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Sesame Club Records\n1932-2011"],"collection_ssim":["Sesame Club Records\n1932-2011"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["M 027"],"unitid_tesim":["M 027"],"repository_ssm":["Thomas Balch Library"],"repository_ssim":["Thomas Balch Library"],"creator_ssm":["Sesame Club"],"creator_ssim":["Sesame Club"],"acqinfo_ssim":["Ann Thomas, Round Hill, VA."],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["1.15 cu. ft."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eLate in 1932, nine women living in western Loudoun County, VA who were interested in enriching their lives established Sesame Club.

Advancements in agriculture stagnated during the Civil War; post war farmers were anxious to resume improvement activities.  Continued economic instability after the war prompted farmers to look for new opportunities to stimulate growth.  Farmers gained by working together through cooperative purchasing, shared equipment, shared lessons about pesticides and fertilizers, cooperative lobbying efforts in the local government, and the possibility to control farm-hand wages.  For a brief time in 1875-1876 local farm clubs in Loudoun County united to form the Grange in Northern VA.  The organization did not last long and quickly disassembled into several other farm organizations.","The Catoctin Farmers' Club was established 9 April 1868.  Farmers in Waterford, VA held their first meeting at \"Clifton,\" the home of Col. Simon Elliot Chamberlin (1834-1908) to assign committees and draft by-laws.  Chamberlin and 13 other men founded the club \"to consider the propriety of organizing themselves into a body for the purpose of mutual improvement.\"  They saw economic benefit to pooling their resources.  Improving transportation in the area was one of the club's first orders of business.  Founders and early members include: Robert R. Walker (1851-1931), J.E. Walker (ca. 1818-n.d.), Elisha H. Walker (1844-n.d.), James Janney (1804-1878), Lewis Steer (n.d.), O.J. Pierpont (ca. 1854-n.d.), Cornelius Shawen (n.d.-1820) - owner of C. Shawen and Co., a general store in Waterford - Isaac C. Hoge (1844-1893), David Mansfield (1802-1871), Samuel Hackney (n.d.), Aaron Hackney (n.d.), Amasa Hough (1831-1905), C.S. Hollingsworth (n.d.), Thomas Phillips (n.d.), R.L.J. White (n.d.), William H. Schooley (n.d.), and Sydnor Bennett (1850-1891).","Throughout the 20th century, the Catoctin Farmers' Club continued to deal with the same agricultural issues which faced farmers at the end of the 19th century.  Insects, viruses, disease, and bad weather destroyed the profitability of crop and cattle alike.  Veterinary medicines, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and seasonal forecasts were always common discussion points for the club.  The club also closely watched for and encouraged technological advancements in farm implements and techniques.  They often pooled finances to purchase new plows or other equipment.","Other discussion points and activities were sparked by the local and national landscape.  During the home front efforts of WWII the club supported finding domestic sources for materials previously obtained from abroad, like growing rubber in the U.S.  The club lobbied Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr. (1887-1966) for assistance when gasoline rationing crippled farmers, keeping them from running equipment.  Other issues such as real estate became more complex throughout the 20th century as development rapidly accelerated.","The club's membership in the 20th century reflected some of these issues with which farmers dealt - many of the members as large estate owners were involved in real estate.  Bankers, military officers, and prominent businessmen of Loudoun County also filled the club's ranks.  Influential members toward the middle of the century included Allen B. McDaniel (1879-1965), Hayden B. Harris (1885-n.d.), J. Churchill Newcomb (1899-1962), and General William C. Crane (1891-1978).
