| 16727 | In his capacity as commander of the local militia during the Civil War, Floyd Neely sent the following handwritten letter to Francis P. Pierpoint, the original of which is on file at the West Virginia State Archives Library in Charleston: West Union, W.Va. May 30 1864 F. P. Pierpoint Esq Adjutant Genl Dear Sir, I have caused a very considerable amount of guard duty performed by the Militia of this County during the last three weeks, since the last gang of Horse thieves were discovered. We have guarded up to this time all the important passes leading South from this County. We are using every effort in our power to capture the banditties, if they make their appearance again. We have run short of Ammunitions especially Caps. We have some Cartridges yet. I would like to have 500 or 1000 caps and one Box Cartridges for Austin muskets 69 in Cal. The safety of our property in this country requires a consent of action on the part of the Citizens in the absence of regular soldiers. A portion of the Militia South of the Rail Road have been very prompt in the discharge of any duty required of them, while there are another portion almost uncontrollable. That portion are of the Butter Nut Tribe. These are a few persons residing on the waters of the North Fork of Hughes River in Ritchie County and one in this County near the Ritchie line, all in the same section of Country, who from recent developments I [am] satisfied are aiders and abetters in the horse stealing business, so far as harbouring and giving them information, and think the Country would be well rid of them. Hoping to hear from you at once, I am your Obt Servt -- Floyd Neely, Col, 180th Regt W.Va. Militia NOTE: "Butternut" was a term used prior to the war to refer to people (especially those of Sourthern origin) who lived in southern Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. During the war, the expression commonly was applied to Confederates, especially Rebel soldiers, whose clothing -- like that of the original Butternuts -- was often a light-brown color, owing to the use of dye made from butternuts or walnuts. At times, as in Letter 13 in chapter 2, it was applied to Northerners who were sympathetic to the Confederacy. SOURCE: "The Wilderness of War: The Civil War Letters of George W.

Born May 24, 1933 she was the daughter of the late Joseph Leland Vincent and Gladys Elisabeth (Randolph) Vincent. Mrs. Zinn had an interesting and unusual life. During her early childhood she performed as an actress and entertainer. The family moved temporarily to Hollywood in the late 1930's where Venita had small roles in several movies and shorts including Our Gang (The Little Rascals). World War II brought the family home to the hills of West Virginia and the Salem farm. Upon returning to Salem, Venita entered the third grade at Van Horn Elementary School where she met the young boy who would later become her husband, William Frederick Zinn (Fred). In the spring of 1946 at age 13, Venita traveled to Europe with international attorney Joseph Choate, his wife Dorothy, and 5 year old son Timothy. Mr. Choate was world-traveled and had clients around the globe which enabled him to obtain visas although WWII had ended only the previous year. Four years later, during her junior year in high school, Venita traveled to Europe again with the Choate family. In 1951 Venita completed public school at Salem High School and was named valedictorian of her class. During her high school years she performed with the combined Salem-Bristol Bands and was West Virginia state baton twirling champion her junior and senior years. After High School Venita entered Salem College and shortly after married her childhood sweet-heart W. Fred Zinn. Venita received her BA Degree in English from Salem College in 1955, and a Master's Degree in Speech Communication from West Virginia University in 1966. Later she studied for an advanced degree in communication and higher education at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Venita loved teaching and for over fifty years she taught at every level from pre-school classes through adult education courses. However, the vast majority of those years were spent teaching at Salem College, later named Salem-Teikyo University. During the 1990's, Venita spent many months teaching in Japan at the Main Teikyo University campus in Hachioji. Retired in 2000 from the university, Venita and her husband Fred began spending winters in Florida. Never tired of teaching, she served as a substitute in the public schools of Doddridge County, WV., and Valusia County, FL. until illness prevented it. Venita was a life-long member of the Salem Seventh Day Baptist Church. She was a member of the diaconate, taught Sabbath school classes, and was Sabbath School Superintendent for many years. She particularly enjoyed directing children and young people in plays at church and at camp. She initiated the talent show at the annual Salem Apple Butter Festival and for many years was active in the Salem Chamber of Commerce. She is preceded in death by her mother, father, and brother (Joe). She is survived by her husband Fred Zinn of Salem, WV. Her children Marty Zinn and his wife Carol of Abbeville, SC., Fredette Leda and her husband Dave of Clarksburg, WV, Frank Zinn and Kathy of Jane Lew, WV, Beatice Kearns and her husband Dave of Salem, WV., and several grandchildren, step-grandchildren, great and step- great grandchildren, and two step great, great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, friends may send contributions to the Salem Seventh Day Baptist Church or a charity of their choice.
