Janney Collection (M 093), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.","George Wells Janney (1 September 1821-26 October 1873) was born near Hamilton, Virginia to John Janney (1788-1850) and Susan Wells Janney (1790-1822). His father was a storekeeper and businessman with stores in Hamilton and Evansville (in what is now West Virginia). Janney joined his father in business, and in the 1840s they began businesses in Gainsboro, VA, Wardensville, VA (now WV), and Berlin (now Brunswick), Maryland. Janney traded in agricultural products, such as guano, farm implements, and seed, as well as dry goods like fabric, household items, and hardware. He bought much of his supply of goods from merchants in Baltimore, and spent considerable time there.\n","He married Mary Compher (1822-1913), from the Lovettsville area, on 31 December 1844. He had been courting her for some time, but Mary's mother did not approve of the match and the couple eloped to Frederick, MD. The Janneys had seven children, including John Compher Janney (1851-1880) who became a treasurer of the town of Hamilton. ","Janney's father died in 1850, leaving him to administer his estate and take over operations of all the businesses. Janney appears to have sold his father's interest in the Evansville store, but continued to maintain the Hamilton store. His family moved house with some regularity, living in Hamilton, Barry (MD), Berlin (MD), and Baltimore (MD). In the 1850s he served as an officer in the Loudoun and Berlin Bridge Company; Janney was appointed postmaster of Barry, MD in 1851 and Hamilton in 1859. ","He did not serve in the Civil War, but his sympathies were with the Confederacy. When the Confederate government reappointed postmasters in Loudoun County, Janney kept his position in Hamilton. He did occasionally own slaves, but they usually came to his household as part of a business transaction with someone liquidating his estate or paying debts to Janney, who would then sell them quickly. Janney regularly hired slaves from nearby farms when he needed labor or household help. Despite his known sympathies and trade with the Confederate forces, Janney was able to secure passes from the US Provost Marshal to cross the Potomac River at Point of Rocks, MD, and engaged in trade with the US Army. In 1863 he signed an oath of allegiance to the United States, which he reaffirmed at the conclusion of the Civil War.","After the Civil War, Janney's business ventures saw continued success. He began working with partners in many of his stores. The store in Hamilton was known as Janney \u0026 Slaymaker as well as VanDevanter \u0026 Janney; a business in Baltimore was known first as Ridenour, Janney \u0026 Co., then Janney, Jordan \u0026 Co. He invested in a real estate venture in Pana, Illinois. Janney was an active member of the International Order of Odd Fellows and a founding member of the Hamilton-Thompson Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. At their organizational meeting on 5 May 1868, Janney was appointed \"Worshipful Master.\"","Janney died unexpectedly, after a short illness, while in Baltimore on 26 October 1873. His wife, Mary, lived until 1913. They are both buried in Union Cemetery in Leesburg.","None\n","Donna Jamison and Elizabeth E.

Included is Janney's business correspondence, which contains information about purchasing wholesale goods for his stores, transporting goods, settling debts and collecting on debts owed to him, and negotiating prices.

Though born in Leesburg, Virginia, Mott spent much of his early life in Kentucky. In 1845 he graduated from the Jefferson College of Medicine in Philadelphia and returned to Leesburg to practice medicine and pharmacy. Mott opened a drugstore opposite the courthouse at 5 North King Street and saw patients in an office above the store. Mott married Virginia L. Bentley in 1846 and had several children, including T. Bentley Mott, U. S. military attache and memoirist. During the Civil War, Mott served in the Confederate Army as a medical officer. At the conclusion of his service, Mott resumed his medical practice and worked with a succession of partners in the operation of the drugstore. He eventually moved the establishment next door, to 7 North King Street. Mott died in 1894, but the drugstore retained the name Mott \u0026 Purcell until it was purchased by Horace C. Littlejohn in 1919.\n","Horace C. Littlejohn (1883-1965), a native of Leesburg, was educated at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond.

Though born in Leesburg, Virginia, Mott spent much of his early life in Kentucky. In 1845 he graduated from the Jefferson College of Medicine in Philadelphia and returned to Leesburg to practice medicine and pharmacy. Mott opened a drugstore opposite the courthouse at 5 North King Street and saw patients in an office above the store. Mott married Virginia L. Bentley in 1846 and had several children, including T. Bentley Mott, U. S. military attache and memoirist. During the Civil War, Mott served in the Confederate Army as a medical officer. At the conclusion of his service, Mott resumed his medical practice and worked with a succession of partners in the operation of the drugstore. He eventually moved the establishment next door, to 7 North King Street. Mott died in 1894, but the drugstore retained the name Mott \u0026 Purcell until it was purchased by Horace C. Littlejohn in 1919.\n","Horace C. Littlejohn (1883-1965), a native of Leesburg, was educated at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. He was a founder and treasurer of the Leesburg Hospital, eventually known as Loudoun County Hospital. Littlejohn began his career as a clerk at Mott \u0026 Purcell Drugstore. He purchased the establishment in 1919, and Littlejohn Pharmacy became a gathering place for the community until his death in 1965.","Littlejohn married Ethel R. Thomspon (1886-1936).

Janney Collection (M 093), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.","George Wells Janney (1 September 1821-26 October 1873) was born near Hamilton, Virginia to John Janney (1788-1850) and Susan Wells Janney (1790-1822). His father was a storekeeper and businessman with stores in Hamilton and Evansville (in what is now West Virginia). Janney joined his father in business, and in the 1840s they began businesses in Gainsboro, VA, Wardensville, VA (now WV), and Berlin (now Brunswick), Maryland. Janney traded in agricultural products, such as guano, farm implements, and seed, as well as dry goods like fabric, household items, and hardware. He bought much of his supply of goods from merchants in Baltimore, and spent considerable time there.\n","He married Mary Compher (1822-1913), from the Lovettsville area, on 31 December 1844. He had been courting her for some time, but Mary's mother did not approve of the match and the couple eloped to Frederick, MD. The Janneys had seven children, including John Compher Janney (1851-1880) who became a treasurer of the town of Hamilton. ","Janney's father died in 1850, leaving him to administer his estate and take over operations of all the businesses. Janney appears to have sold his father's interest in the Evansville store, but continued to maintain the Hamilton store. His family moved house with some regularity, living in Hamilton, Barry (MD), Berlin (MD), and Baltimore (MD). In the 1850s he served as an officer in the Loudoun and Berlin Bridge Company; Janney was appointed postmaster of Barry, MD in 1851 and Hamilton in 1859. ","He did not serve in the Civil War, but his sympathies were with the Confederacy. When the Confederate government reappointed postmasters in Loudoun County, Janney kept his position in Hamilton. He did occasionally own slaves, but they usually came to his household as part of a business transaction with someone liquidating his estate or paying debts to Janney, who would then sell them quickly. Janney regularly hired slaves from nearby farms when he needed labor or household help. Despite his known sympathies and trade with the Confederate forces, Janney was able to secure passes from the US Provost Marshal to cross the Potomac River at Point of Rocks, MD, and engaged in trade with the US Army. In 1863 he signed an oath of allegiance to the United States, which he reaffirmed at the conclusion of the Civil War.","After the Civil War, Janney's business ventures saw continued success. He began working with partners in many of his stores. The store in Hamilton was known as Janney \u0026 Slaymaker as well as VanDevanter \u0026 Janney; a business in Baltimore was known first as Ridenour, Janney \u0026 Co., then Janney, Jordan \u0026 Co. He invested in a real estate venture in Pana, Illinois. Janney was an active member of the International Order of Odd Fellows and a founding member of the Hamilton-Thompson Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. At their organizational meeting on 5 May 1868, Janney was appointed \"Worshipful Master.\"","Janney died unexpectedly, after a short illness, while in Baltimore on 26 October 1873. His wife, Mary, lived until 1913. They are both buried in Union Cemetery in Leesburg.","None\n","Donna Jamison and Elizabeth E.

The business papers contain accounts and inventories from various stores, court records, tax and insurance information, and paperwork from the settlement of his father's estate. Included is Janney's business correspondence, which contains information about purchasing wholesale goods for his stores, transporting goods, settling debts and collecting on debts owed to him, and negotiating prices. Many bills, notes, and receipts survive, documenting Janney's purchases and debts, as well as items bought at his establishments and monies owed to him.

The station, located in Leesburg, was originally available on 1290 kHz AM frequency. Many notable personalities influenced and developed WAGE Radio over the years, including William H. Spencer, Jr. (28 February 1917-23 October 2007), John R. Gill (21 September 1917-30 November 2002), William J.

John Gill was chief promotion director and an engineer at WAGE when the station first began broadcasting. William Chewning III was a news director and journalist at WAGE during the 1970s. He hosted international specials on current events, cultures, and political issues of countries and regions, including China, Cuba, Russia, Kenya, Vietnam, United Kingdom, Africa, and the Middle East. Paul Draisey began working at WAGE Radio in 1971 and was 14 when he aired his first show. Often called the \"Voice of Loudoun,\" he worked for WAGE from 1971-2007 as a reporter and general manager. During his time at WAGE, Draisey hosted a popular afternoon show called \"The Drive Home with Paul Draisey.\"","WAGE Radio was a daytime radio station with an emphasis on local news. In 1995, WAGE moved to 1200 kHz AM frequency which allowed the station access to a stronger, full-time signal. With the change in frequencies came a change in format, and WAGE became a twenty-four hour news and talk radio station and included nationally syndicated programs. WAGE continued its commitment to local news and events, however, and covered local events, births, weddings, deaths, weather, traffic reports, agriculture, sports, and even birthdays","New World Radio (WUST), a broadcast facility that focuses on foreign language programs for Washington D.C.'s international communities, acquired the station in 2005. In 2007 much of the staff was fired and many of the local news programs were eliminated. New World Radio cited economic pressure as a primary reason for the firings. In 2008, WAGE received a permit to move to 1190 kHz frequency and increase its power to 50,000 watts, amking it a much more powerful station with a regional broadcast area. Before it was able to implement these changes, however, WAGE was forced to go off the air as a result of economic conditions, specifically decreased local ad revenue. WAGE was off air from 2 August 2009 until 2011. On 11 April 2011, a re-branded WAGE went back on air as WCRW, \"China Radio International,\" with programs and entertainment from the Pacific Rim. WCRW made significant changes to the station's programming and places little focus on providing local news and events, looking instead to the emerging Asian market in Northern Virginia.

WCRW made significant changes to the station's programming and places little focus on providing local news and events, looking instead to the emerging Asian market in Northern Virginia.

Elkins (1841-1911) with a number of investors began construction of the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad. An electric trolley car line, the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad carried inter-urban traffic between Washington DC and new suburban communities. Specifically, McLean and Elkins hoped DC Residents would take the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad (GF\u0026OD) to the newly constructed park at Great Falls - a \"trolley park\" ideal for outings by urban day-trippers. New communities sprang up along the trolley line, and eventually both McLean and Elkins lent their names to suburbs. In 1911 McLean brokered a contract to combine the GF\u0026OD with the Southern Railway, part of the extensive holdings of J.P. Morgan's conglomerate. A new company, the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion Railroad, was incorporated to oversee the combined rail lines, which would now run between terminus stations at Georgetown and Bluemont Junction. Elkin's death shortly after the deal was made complicated the organization of the new company. A stipulation in Elkin's will required that his GF\u0026OD stock not be sold; therefor the GF\u0026OD became the controlling interest of the new suburban line. A three mile connector between the GF\u0026OD line was completed in July 1912 and electrification of the existing Bluemont line was finished by December of the same year. Six electric passenger trains a day operated on the line. The line carried 1,405,102 passengers in the first eight months of operations alone. Freight traffic was also steady although freight continued to be hauled by steam locomotives until after World War I. Despite heavy use, however, the W\u0026OD lost money in its first year of business.\n","Attempts to increase profits included cost saving measures such as constructing \"homemade\" locomotives in the W\u0026OD Rosslyn machine shop from recycled parts and retrofitting used cars from other railways to add needed passenger cars. Staffing and construction costs, along with the annual rental fees paid to the Southern Railway for the Bluemont line, $45,000 in 1912, nevertheless led to financial difficulties for the W\u0026OD. Advertising efforts were made to encourage excursion traffic on the line, including publication of an illustrated booklet entitled Resorts: From the Capitol to the Blue Ridge on the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion. Published in 1916 and illustrated with photographs and other illustrations of natural beauty and pastoral pastimes, the booklet touts cooling breezes and affordable, comfortable lodging with the goal of luring city dwellers out into the countryside.","Financial problems persisted for the W\u0026OD. John R. McLean's death on June 9, 1916 left the company in the hands of the heirs of the original backers, who, seeing little profit from the W\u0026OD were disinterested owners. For the next two decades the railroad operated under what the Virginia Corporate Commission termed as \"absentee ownership\". The lack of investment in the improvements in the line along with labor disputes and strikes led to service disruptions and complaints from passengers and freight customers alike. In 1919, passenger traffic began to decline as automobiles offered an alternative form of transportation. Freight traffic on the line steadily grew throughout the 1920's, however, financial problems continued and increased with the onset of the Great Depression, and the W\u0026OD declared bankruptcy in 1932. New owners and management revived the railroad during the 1940's and 1950s. Freight continued to be the best source of income for the line. Passenger service was limited and ended entirely in 1951. The opening of Dulles National Airport in 1955 led to an increase in freight traffic. Competition from the expanding interstate and highway systems took its toll on this source of income by the late 1960s, and the W\u0026OD went out of business in 1968. At that time, all W\u0026OD property and right of ways were purchased by Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) and the Virginia Highways Department. Soon after, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA) launched a successful campaign to use the right of way for a recreational trail. In 1977 NVRPA began paving the former rail bed. The trail continues to be maintained as the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park.","This collection consists of a blueprint right of way track map of the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion Railroad (W\u0026OD) dated 1 July 1916.

Copies of these right of way maps were submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) as directed by the Valuation Act of 1913. ICC valuation maps were prepared by railroads and forwarded to the ICC, where they were reviewed, filed, and annotated as needed. The maps were used to value railroad property and establish fixed rates that would yield a reasonable profit for the railroad.

Elkins (1841-1911) with a number of investors began construction of the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad. An electric trolley car line, the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad carried inter-urban traffic between Washington DC and new suburban communities. Specifically, McLean and Elkins hoped DC Residents would take the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad (GF\u0026OD) to the newly constructed park at Great Falls - a \"trolley park\" ideal for outings by urban day-trippers. New communities sprang up along the trolley line, and eventually both McLean and Elkins lent their names to suburbs. In 1911 McLean brokered a contract to combine the GF\u0026OD with the Southern Railway, part of the extensive holdings of J.P. Morgan's conglomerate. A new company, the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion Railroad, was incorporated to oversee the combined rail lines, which would now run between terminus stations at Georgetown and Bluemont Junction. Elkin's death shortly after the deal was made complicated the organization of the new company. A stipulation in Elkin's will required that his GF\u0026OD stock not be sold; therefor the GF\u0026OD became the controlling interest of the new suburban line. A three mile connector between the GF\u0026OD line was completed in July 1912 and electrification of the existing Bluemont line was finished by December of the same year. Six electric passenger trains a day operated on the line. The line carried 1,405,102 passengers in the first eight months of operations alone. Freight traffic was also steady although freight continued to be hauled by steam locomotives until after World War I. Despite heavy use, however, the W\u0026OD lost money in its first year of business.\n","Attempts to increase profits included cost saving measures such as constructing \"homemade\" locomotives in the W\u0026OD Rosslyn machine shop from recycled parts and retrofitting used cars from other railways to add needed passenger cars. Staffing and construction costs, along with the annual rental fees paid to the Southern Railway for the Bluemont line, $45,000 in 1912, nevertheless led to financial difficulties for the W\u0026OD. Advertising efforts were made to encourage excursion traffic on the line, including publication of an illustrated booklet entitled Resorts: From the Capitol to the Blue Ridge on the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion. Published in 1916 and illustrated with photographs and other illustrations of natural beauty and pastoral pastimes, the booklet touts cooling breezes and affordable, comfortable lodging with the goal of luring city dwellers out into the countryside.","Financial problems persisted for the W\u0026OD. John R. McLean's death on June 9, 1916 left the company in the hands of the heirs of the original backers, who, seeing little profit from the W\u0026OD were disinterested owners. For the next two decades the railroad operated under what the Virginia Corporate Commission termed as \"absentee ownership\". The lack of investment in the improvements in the line along with labor disputes and strikes led to service disruptions and complaints from passengers and freight customers alike. In 1919, passenger traffic began to decline as automobiles offered an alternative form of transportation. Freight traffic on the line steadily grew throughout the 1920's, however, financial problems continued and increased with the onset of the Great Depression, and the W\u0026OD declared bankruptcy in 1932. New owners and management revived the railroad during the 1940's and 1950s. Freight continued to be the best source of income for the line. Passenger service was limited and ended entirely in 1951. The opening of Dulles National Airport in 1955 led to an increase in freight traffic. Competition from the expanding interstate and highway systems took its toll on this source of income by the late 1960s, and the W\u0026OD went out of business in 1968. At that time, all W\u0026OD property and right of ways were purchased by Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) and the Virginia Highways Department. Soon after, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA) launched a successful campaign to use the right of way for a recreational trail. In 1977 NVRPA began paving the former rail bed. The trail continues to be maintained as the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park.","This collection consists of a blueprint right of way track map of the Washington \u0026 Old Dominion Railroad (W\u0026OD) dated 1 July 1916.

Waterford's first private school, the Friends' Meeting School on Loyalty Road, was established in 1805-1806 with a donation by local merchant John Williams.","In 1877, Edwin Atlee sold one and one half acres at Fairfax and High Streets to school trustees of Jefferson District for $350 for construction of a public school.  Waterford Academy, built in 1880, was destroyed in February 1909 by a fire started when a custodian cleaning stoves left a bucket of hot coal ashes on the wooden floor.  Classes were held in the Baptist church basement until a new school was completed.","The new school, which opened for the 1910-1911 session, was built at a cost of $6000 with funds secured from private donations, insurance, and state literacy fund.  The main building was a two-story, three-bay framed structure; an auditorium was added in 1928.  School facilities also included horse stables, the stalls of which were leased by parents whose children rode to school.  This school served as a public elementary school for first through seventh grades until 1965, when the current facility on Loyalty Road opened.  ","In 1966, the Waterford Foundation purchased the old Waterford School property from the Loudoun County School Board. Since then, the facility has served as exhibit space, reception hall for weddings, and a space for New Year's celebrations and craft classes. On 25 January 2007, a fire destroyed the auditorium, but left the original 1910 structure unharmed.","None\n","Processed by Donald Cooper, 22 July 2009\n","Lewis/Edwards Architectural Surveys of Loudoun County 1927-2007 (M022), Folder 401-090\n","The Waterford Elementary School, 1959-1960 collection consists of three items.
