Warner to provide cabinet level representation for the agriculture and forestry industry. Further support for the creation of the secretariat came from the Governor's Agriculture Net Receipts Work Group, a task force created in 2003 by Governor Warner through the Secretary of Commerce and Trade. The goal of the task force was to determine strategies and recommendations for doubling the net profits of Virginia's agricultural sector between 2004 and 2014. Among the task force's recommendations was the creation of the, \"Office of Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry to provide focus and emphasis in the development of the agriculture and forest industries.\" In 2004, the General Assembly of Virginia created the cabinet position of Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry with the passing of Senate Bill SB 543 and witnessed its codification through 2.2-203.3 of the Code of Virginia. Speaking at the appointment ceremony of the first Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry, Governor Warner reiterated his commitment to, \"support and expand our agriculture and forestry industries\" and recalled his desire to, \"make sure these very important sectors of Virginia's economy received a seat at my cabinet table.\" \n","The Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry is appointed by the Governor, confirmed by the General Assembly, and serves at the Governor's pleasure.

Christian\n         applied himself in this endeavour as a fine finisher,\n         varnisher, and cabinet maker, and when Belvin died in 1880\n         Christian succeeded him and reorganized the business to bear\n         his name.","L. T. Christian became widely known as a funeral director\n         and he soon entered politics. He was a member of the Richmond\n         city council for 10 years beginning in 1888.

In 1894 Christian co-authored a\n         bill to regulate the practice of embalming in Virginia, a bill\n         which became law that same year and inititated the\n         establishment of the first state examining board of embalming\n         in the United States. Christian also served in the Virginia\n         National Guard: he entered the Virginia Volunteers as a\n         private in 1872 and retired 26 years later with the rank of\n         major. On 5 October 1881, he married his first wife Isabella\n         \"Belle\" Beverley Brown. With her, Christian had three\n         children. She died in 1928, and he married second, Katherine\n         Dubose, who died 2 October 1935. The elder Christian died on\n         13 November 1935 and was interred in Hollywood Cemetery.","Langdon Taylor Christian, Jr., was born on 28 August 1893,\n         the first son and youngest child of Langdon Taylor Christian\n         and his first wife Isabelle \"Belle\" Beverley Brown.

The correspondence concerns funeral arrangements,\n         payments or past debt on a funeral, gratitude for services\n         provided, and logistics of transport of the decedent.

The bulk of the collection covers the period 1920 to 2007.\n","The Clay Family Research Files are divided into ten subseries, including: a) Alphabetical Files. b) Locality Files. c) Subject Files. d) Clay Family Society Records. e) Ballow, Escue, Kittrell, and Young Family Research Files. f) Allied Families (A-Z). g) Notebooks. h) Photographs. i) Card Files. j) Microfilm.  The series documents Clay's interest in tracing the descendants of John Clay, and more specifically those of Thomas Clay (1745/6-1812) of Dinwiddie County, Virginia. \n","The Alphabetical Files contain information that was used to compile data sheets on specific individuals. There are copies, abstracts, and transcriptions of census records, county court records, land office records, vital statistics, and tax records. There is also information Clay received from other researchers, correspondence, obituaries, Bible records, pedigrees and genealogical charts, published sources, pension records, and tombstone inscriptions.\n","The Locality Files contain much of the same types of information that is found in the Alphabetical Files, but are arranged alphabetically by Virginia county name, followed by other states. \n","The Subject Files include a variety of materials relating to the Clay family, most concerning Robert Young Clay's immediate ancestors. There are files related to his editing and updating of the Clay entry in  Adventurers of Purse and Person , as well as Bible records, genealogical charts, letters, inquiries, and notes compiled by other Clay researchers, and early Clay genealogical compilations.\n","The Clay Family Society was formed in 2001 \"to encourage research and foster understanding of the genealogy and history of all branches of the Clay family.\" This series includes minutes and agendas, financial reports, mission statements and by-laws, membership lists and applications, correspondence, mailing lists, and material relating to Clay's design of the Society's logo. There are also files of the Society's annual \"gatherings,\" including those held in Williamsburg, VA, Lexington, KY, and Beckley, WV.\n","The Ballow, Escue, Kittrell, and Young Family Research Files contain much of the same types of information that is found in the Alphabetical and Locality Files, but were kept separate by Clay because of the amount of material on these four families. This series includes copies of the  Ballew Family Journal  published by the Ballew Family Association of America.\n","The Allied Families (A-Z) subseries also includes genealogical research on numerous families related to the Clay family. There is a substantial amount of material on the Cabaniss, Filmer, Green, Jenkins, Jones, Parker, Pride, and Watkins families.\n","The Notebooks, or binders, contain the final typed group sheets with supporting documentation that were compiled from the family research files listed above. There are three groups of notebooks, and there is a \"key\" or listing of them. There is also an explanation of the system Clay used in numbering each individual. Some of the notebooks contain an index at the beginning, and some of them are missing. It is not clear whether these were combined with, or superceded by, other notebooks, or integrated into the family research files.\n","The photographs contain images of Clay and allied family members, and are arranged alphabetically. There are also unidentified group photos, negatives, and photo albums. There are also numerous photographs of Clay's hometown of Dixon Springs, Tennessee, as well as homes and other buildings in Smith County, Tennesssee, and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.\n","There are numerous card files that were kept by Clay to aid in his research, including indexes to his notebooks, descendants of specific individuals, Clay marriages, deaths, and tax records, and cards that were never typed in final form or filed.\n","There are various groups of microfilm in the collection, including issues of the  Carthage Courier  from 1913 to 1968, and deeds and wills for Smith and Sumner Counties, Tennessee. There are also copies of census records from the National Archives, and miscellaneous court records from other localities.\n","The Subject Files document Clay's interest in genealogical research, his involvement in numerous organizations, and his career as a reference archivist at the Library of Virginia from 1970 to 2001. The files include correspondence with family, friends, colleagues, and fellow genealogists and researchers. Some of the correspondence dates to when Clay was attending the University of Tennessee. The subject files also contain two groups (A-Z) of photocopies of marriages and obituaries of Clay family members and other individuals. There is genealogical research materials on the Gwaltney and Radford families, miscellaneous research notes, abstracts, and transcriptions, as well as clippings, diaries, maps, newsletters, recipes, scrapbooks, and yearbooks. There is a business ledger of William S. Alexander (1809-1876) of Dixon Springs, covering the years 1841-1845 and 1868-1872, detailing business transactions at his general store. There is a large amount of material relating to Clay's memberships in the Order of First Families of North Carolina, Order of First Families of Virginia, and the Virginia Genealogical Society. There is historical information on Dixon Springs and Smith County, Tennessee. Finally, there are memoranda, policies and procedures, brochures, forms, lists, and guides related to the collections at the Library of Virginia, and also genealogical research information for other states and countries.  Arranged alphabetically.\n","The Speech Files include texts of Clay's talks and presentations made to various historical and genealogical organizations in Virginia and throughout the country on research methods, the Clay family, sources available at the Library of Virginia, and other topics. The files are arranged alphabetically by the title or subject of his presentation, and then there is a group of \"working files\" arranged chronologically related to specific speaking engagements, which include correspondence, programs and brochures, information on travel and lodging, calendars, clippings, and contact information.\n","The Smith County, TN Soldiers' Pension Files series contains copies of War of 1812 pension application files Clay obtained from the National Archives, which he abstracted and prepared for publication in the  Smith County Historical and Genealogical Quarterly.
