S hhhhhhhhh. The Lancaster Community Library is a quiet place except on Wednes- day mornings in Tonya Carter’s corner. That’s when the children’s librarian is typically surrounded by 60 or so anxious, often bois- terous, young readers. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. “Oh, it gets a little noisy in here,” said Carter. “But we’ve tried to make this a kid- friendly library because the library is a family place.” Carter, who has served as the children’s librarian for 11 years, is not your stereotypical librar- ian. “When Suzanne [Collins] hired me, I said, ‘You know I’m not the quietest person.’” Carter laughs loud, talks loud, wears a big smile every day and dishes out lots of hugs. She’s the symbol of the chil- dren’s library and almost every child in Lancaster County knows “Ms. Tonya,” if not from the library then from her Tues- day visits to the Northern Neck Family YMCA Preschool or her Friday visits to Chesapeake Academy or her thrice weekly visits to Lancaster Primary School. She also squeezes in a Wednesday morning story hour at the library and two times a month entertains children from three months to two years at the library’s “Babygarten” reading time. “When I first initiated the school visits it was because I wanted the children to recognize me,” said Carter. “Then when they came to the library, they’d see a friendly face.” Carter joined the library, albeit reluctantly, some 14 years ago. She and her husband had moved back to his hometown near Heathsville from Richmond, where she operated a daycare. She was running a suc- cessful daycare business in Northumberland County when a job at the library “actually came to me,” she said. The library’s Storymobile had been making weekly stops at her home for two years when one day one of the Storymobile operators asked if she’d like to apply for a position with the travelling bookmobile. “They were so nice, I didn’t have the heart not to fill it out,” she said. “So I went in for an interview and when I got home my daughter said, ‘They called and you got the job at the library.’ “I was like, wait a minute, I don’t even know if I want it. I had a good business, so I would be taking a cut in pay,” she added. But Carter joined the Storymo- bile and still operated her day- care for two years with the help of assistants. She was offered the “inside” job of children’s librar- ian soon after joining the library staff but turned it down the first time. After three years on the Storymobile, she moved inside to man the children’s library. It was a natural fit. “I’ve always loved children and have always loved books. So this combines two of my great loves,” said Carter.”My husband has always said, ‘You don’t mind Monday mornings.’” When Carter took over the children’s library, the summer reading program had 35 children participating. “I was appalled. I knew there were more kids out there,” she said. Over the last 11 years, the summer program has grown and grown and grown. Last week, she had more than 60 children attend story hour, which is one of dozens of activities offered by the program. There are magic shows, puppet shows, tea parties and agricultural activities. Several years ago, the library partnered with the Foundation for Historic Christ Church, Belle Isle State Park and the Lancaster County Extension office to create a Summer Fun Calendar, which lists children’s activities throughout the summer with each of those organizations. “It’s something grandma can stick on the fridge and circle the events they want to attend when the grandkids come to town,” said Carter. She starts planning for the seven-week summer program, which runs through July 31 this year, way back in December. “Some of these monsters I have created,” said Carter, “and now they’re bigger than me.” She even started a new program this past year which combines canines, books and children. “Tutors with Tails” is held on six Satur- day mornings through the school year. The program allows children, many struggling with reading, to read to dogs. It also helps some chil- dren get over a fear of dogs, said Carter. “What I want is for children to love to come to the library,” she said. “They are eventually going to have to come for some school project or another, so parents might as well bring them when they’re little. It creates a comfort level. And there is nothing I hate to see more than people lost in a room full of books.” INSIDE: Calendar • Upcoming Events • Churches • Obituaries • Births • Weddings Section B Entertainment • People • Calendars LocalLife www.rrecord.com July 9, 2009 Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA Wet and wild Oscar Gamez, 3, takes the plunge on a warm July day at Kingdom Kids Preschool in Burgess.

Shhhhhhhhh. The Lancaster Community Library is a

“When Suzanne [Collins] hired me, I said, ‘You know I’m not the quietest person.’”

“I was like, wait a minute, I don’t even know if I want it. I had a good

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1988.

Steamboats and camp meetings

Over on the Irvington Green sits an heroic remnant: the wheelhouse from

the old Potomac steamboat. Much of the religious heritage belonging to many area churches is owed to the glory and com-merce of steamboat travel.

Families prepared all year long to go to a camp meeting. Those summer revival gatherings have an interesting ecumenical record. Up country, behind the old high school in Heathsville, is Kirkland Grove. Baptist folks still use that 1800s facility in late summer for a men’s crab feast, day camps, and revivals.

Inland between Kirkland Grove and Weems is the site of the old Methodist campground, Marvin Grove, named after a popular bishop. At the road’s edge, a pipe rail fence now surrounds a huge stone marker. It is a place seldom visited by the faithful these days.

Today I want to write about Whar-ton Grove. A decade ago my lovely bride bounced out the back door of the Bank of Lancaster with a print in her hands. “John,” she bubbled, “you have to see this!”

I shut off the motor and slid my seat back to gaze at the harvest in her hands. It was a print of an oil painting by David Jett. It was being offered as a fund-raiser for the Lancaster County Historical Society. She knew that I would just have to have one. She was right. But where would I find a wall on which to display it? I found a place: it now hangs prominently upon the wall in my King Carter Drive church office.

The print brought to my mind the legacy which we owe to camp meetings and steam-boats. The large American flag that once flew outside the Irvington cottage depicted

in Jett’s work was a gift of the Hardesty Candy Company in Baltimore to Wharton Grove. It now resides in the new Steamboat Era Museum up the way and across the road from Irvington Baptist Church.

Following the deaths of the Carter family and many of its early descendents, the large Corrotoman tract fell into disrepair. Eventually, it was sold to George Kern of Philadelphia. Kern died without posting a will and his heirs contacted John Palmer, a Catholic gentleman of Kilmarnock.

Palmer was a man of keen intellect and extraordinary vision. He published a little booklet touting the new paradise along the shores of the Rappahannock River and Carter Creek. Ellery Cross of New York had visited here some years back. He bought one of the first lots sold. It was a barren land, that peninsula lying along the far Weems side of the creek. His only neighboring family was that of Aleck Ball, formerly of King George County, who lived in the old spinning house down the lane just to the right of Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church. Kern was caretaker of the Carter family’s earlier estate.

It was some while before the first steam-boat called nearby. Around 1886, a village sprang up along the Carter Creek harbor shore. Again Palmer positioned himself as a man of commerce and vision. He per-suaded the Weems Steamboat Line to put in on the far side of the creek. The first boat was the “Mason L. Weems.” It would land at Palmer’s new wharf, on the spot previ-ously known as “Sloop Landing.” It was the same harbor shore from which Robert “King” Carter had become such a wealthy colonial planter. It was Palmer who named the village “Weems.”

Palmer remembered the popularity of the northern Chautauquas of his youth, church

camp meetings. Serving as an agent, he persuaded the Rev. Frederick W. Claybrook, pastor of Morattico Baptist Church, to consider a similar opportunity. Claybrook called upon the Rev. Henry M. Wharton of Baltimore to come and talk about a summer evangelistic mission. Wharton visited the area, by steamboat of course, and the rest is history. Other local business and religious leaders lent their shoulders to the develop-ment from that time until Wharton’s death in 1927.

The faith-holders all around the area began to gather at Wharton Grove every summer. Cottages sprang up and a three-tiered tabernacle with bell atop and dining halls was built. During camp meeting days, all the Rappahannock steamboats put in at Wharton Grove, docking at the quarter-mile long pier. It was the social gathering of the period. Commerce played no small part either. But it is safe to say that the Christians called the world to their shores. They came to the interdenominational meetings two to four weeks annually. It is estimated that as many as 10,000 worshipped there on the last summer Sunday of the camp meeting. Just imagine.

The Steamboat Era Museum has taken shape in Irvington as the repository for such an important era of local history. I would ask again that all our local families inventory their possessions. Do you, or some friend, have items pertaining to the steamboats and Weems camp meetings at Wharton Grove? Won’t you help preserve our religious heri-tage by donating or loaning them to the museum? Call them at 438-6888, or myself at 438-6787. It is a history worth preserving and takes money to do so.
