One man built this North Carolina house with 22 rooms and not one matches another

From the street, the brick building in downtown Kernersville, North Carolina, looks like any well-kept Victorian home. Walk through the front door, and that impression falls apart fast. Jule Gilmer Körner built this place in 1880 as a living showcase of his design work, and he packed 22 rooms across...

Pilot Mountain man marks 100th birthday

Nov. 1 was a big day for Spencer “Pa” Nelson. One of many days the centenarian has experienced. That’s because many friends and family members gathered that day to celebrate his 100th birthday. He was born on Nov. 1, 1926, in Pilot Mountain, to Peter and Daisy Nelson. In late December 1943, he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served as a gunner’s mate until September 1948. After leaving the Navy, Nelson returned home to Pilot Mountain, where he met the love of his life, Helen Bateman. The two were married on April 28, 1949, beginning a marriage that would last just shy of 69 years. In 1950, Spencer began working for McLean Trucking Company. He remained with the company for more than 35 years, until it closed in January 1986. The couple became members of Brims Grove Baptist Church in 1969. His faith and church family have remained an important part of his life, and he continues to be a faithful member today, family members said. “Celebrating 100 years of Spencer’s life was a special occasion for his family and friends,” they said. “The Nelson family would like to thank everyone who joined them in celebrating this

Plans for Christmas parade unfold

The annual Mount Airy Christmas Parade on Nov. 21 will feature the usual holiday floats, marching groups and sparkling lights, but also the added attractions of Jeff and Sheri Easter and a first-ever “sensory-friendly area.” The Easters, who lead a popular Southern gospel group and have ties to the legendary Easter Brothers locally, will serve as grand marshals for the parade scheduled for 5 p.m. that day through the downtown area. Meanwhile, a special area will be designated along the procession route to accommodate onlookers who are sensitive to loud noises. “Because we’ve had a few complaints about the sirens and everything,” Gail Hiatt of the sponsoring Downtown Business Association said of the sounds emanating from public safety vehicles in the parade along with horns and other loud noises. “We’ve never done this before,” Hiatt added regarding the quiet zone. Applications available The Christmas parade typically includes elaborate floats by local businesses, high school marching bands, fire trucks, unique vehicles, festive costumed characters, community organizations, sports teams, churches, local elected officials and others. And, of course, more than a few pieces of candy and other goodies will be tossed out by those riding in the parade. It is considered the

Veterans Day in city to honor patriotism

One good thing about Veterans Day activities in Mount Airy next Wednesday is that unlike previous years, no rain or cold temperatures are in the forecast — with perfect conditions for honoring military members in store instead. “It’s for them,” said Mark Barr, who has been organizing Mount Airy’s annual Veterans Day program since 2013. It will be held Wednesday at Blackmon Amphitheatre near City Hall, with both veterans and the public urged to attend. The service is scheduled for 11 a.m., which commemorates the signing of the Armistice ending World War I in 1918 at that time on the 11th day of the 11th month. This will come after the Mount Airy Veterans Day Parade that will pull out at 9:30 a.m. from Veterans Memorial Park on West Lebanon Street en route to the downtown area. “It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good-sized parade this year,” Barr said of the procession that will feature entries by military organizations and Junior ROTC students from local high schools. Amphitheatre service The 11 a.m. program at Blackmon Amphitheatre will include Staff Sgt. Steven Munoz of the local recruitment unit of the U.S. Marine Corps as guest speaker. Veterans of

Doo-wop legend who sang ‘Money Honey,' other R&B hits, to get NC marker

Clyde McPhatter, a falsetto-voiced pioneer of early rock-and-roll, who launched his highly influential but short career in the churches of Durham, will soon grace an North Carolina historic marker on the streets where he first learned to sing. Born in 1932, McPhatter grew up in a Baptist family in Durham’s Hayti neighborhood, where he sang solos in the choir at his preacher father’s church, Mount Cavalry Baptist, but he soon moved to New York, formed a gospel group based in Harlem — The Mount Lebanon Singers. Like many crooners of his era, McPhatter followed the powerful draw of secular music, and he lent his voice to the early 1950s blend of rhythm and blues. This combination of gospel soulfulness and free-spirited, sexually charged energy led the country into a new rock and roll era. A young Ernie Barnes would recall sneaking into the segregated Durham Armory to get a glimpse of McPhatter with his doo-wop Dominoes, describing the scene he saw on the dance floor, so bold for the era it seemed sinful, but not so audacious he didn’t move along. “What I observed was the no inhibition, no self-consciousness or rigidity, just fluid movement while the music punctuated every
