Louise H. and Joseph J. Sawyer

From Bahaipedia
(Redirected from Joseph and Louise Sawyer)

The Sawyer family encounter with the Bahá'í Faith begins with Mary Louise Hogshead Sawyer - or more commonly Louise Sawyer. Louise was born in 1895 in Salem, NC. By/before 1919 she had married Joseph Jefferson Sawyer, a rising draftsman who then was partners in an architect firm and then went on to run a firm by himself. With the success of this firm, Louise begins to show in high society coverage such as when their daughters holding a large party at the Starmount Country Club in 1936. Yet, for all this circumstance of success which continued some years, in later August 1941 Louise is noted going on a two week "spiritual retreat" to the Isle-of-Shoals on the border of Maine and New Hampshire. It is unknown why she, or possibly they, went there, or of what they did there. Nevertheless, the following spring, 1942, Louise responded to the work of Ruth Moffett promoting the Bahá'í Faith in Greensboro and aided forming a racially integrated community and an assembly, the first of North Carolina, in the spring of 1943, with the aide of some pioneers and fellow citizens of Greensboro. Both daughters were away being married or in college and Joseph was working in the war effort in Wilmington much of the time. In 1944 Louise was elected as the delegate to the national convention at the time of the centenary observance of the Declaration of the Báb and the various supplemental meetings culminating in a vast meeting of some 1600 delegates and visitors to the convention that was also broadcast from a number of radio stations. For the next state convention of Bahá'ís in December 1945 Joseph served as the convening chair and had joined the religion. Unfortunately three years later, after both had also served on the Regional Teaching Committee for North and South Carolina, Joseph died in a car accident, and Louise was hospitalized for a time, while on the way to visit their son Joseph Jr. at a residential school in Florida.

Louise and Joseph Jr. continued with the Faith in Greensboro until 1954 when they moved to Durham and Raleigh where they served in establishing the Bahá'ís until about 1962 when they moved back to Greensboro and attended the 1963 Bahá'í World Congress in London. Following this Louise decreased her public appearances though a number of kin had weddings she attended, and funerals of kin also occurred. Joseph Jr. continued to serve publicly in events. Louise lived many more years quietly as far as newspapers are concerned. She died in 1996, aged 101 years, and her son Joseph Jr. died in 2007.

Born and raised[edit]

Mary Louise Hogshead's mother Kate Hendon Hogshead was born in Newbern, Alabama, July 22, 1864; she moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where she graduated from Nash Boarding School in Hillsboro[1] and married Watson Womack Hogshead in Chapel Hill November 8, 1890.[2] Louise' father was Watson Womack Hogshead born 7 Dec 1853 in Carthage, Moore County, and died 5 November 1916 in Greensboro.[3] Between 1890 and 1900 they lived in Salem, where Louise was born 29 January 1895.[4] Then their family moved to Greensboro in 1900.[2] He was a grocery merchant.[3] The family lived on West Market St, Greensboro.[5] Louise had not attended school in 1900 as not yet at 5 years old - older sisters had.[6] In 1910 the family was living on Keogh St, and all the kids had attended school.[7]

Joseph Jefferson Sawyer was among those drafted for WWI,[8] but found physically deficient to be a soldier.[9][10] Sawyer subscribed to Liberty bonds to support the war instead[11] and was employed as a draftsman.[12]

Marriage and business[edit]

Mary Louise and Joseph were married and returning from a trip late in 1919.[13]

In 1920 the Sawyers were living on North Elam Ave.[14] Louise' mother were living on Schenck St.[15] In 1921 the Sawyers hosted a wedding shower and were then living on Simpson St.[16] Kate Hogshead died February 20, 1922, after an 8 mth illness.[2] Kate is buried in Green Hill cemetery, Greensboro.[17]

In 1926 Joseph, who had been in a business Simons and Sawyer, architects, left to found a separate company.[18] One of the first contracts won by the new company came in October for the Watson Building,[19] followed by the Milikan Building,[20] and contracts came in successively: January, 1927,[21] August,[22] December and on.[23] Other kinds of trust of the community began to be mentioned too. Joseph was one of the witness of will,[24] and was named to a city board of examiners who's work was about community building codes,[25] while work kept coming up too.[26] In June 1928 the house of Admiral Archibald Henderson Scales was announced, of a family connected with leaders in North Carolina history.[27] And he aided in the funeral of another well known architect.[28] Louise began to be visible hosting social gatherings as well.[29]

Joseph would even make news sideways so to speak, reporting on a torrential rain storm he drove through.[30] Society news picked up Louise and some of her kin going on a vacation trip,[31] and reported on progress on building buildings - Joseph was involved in the Montgomery Ward building finished in August 1929.[32]

April 3, 1930, son Joseph J. Sawyer Jr. was born.[33] Two other older daughters Virginia and Margaret were noted in the 1930 Census.[34] They were renting a home on Sylvan Rd. and the daughters had attended school.

In 1931 Joseph's reach as an architect began to go beyond Greensboro.[35] Louise continued to be occasionally visible in social circles.[36] Joseph's work on the review board continued in 1931 as well.[37] A High Point Coca-Cola factory came in for Joseph in November 1931.[38] Louise was noted at another social gathering in October 1932,[39] and then engaged in a school association, a precursor of a PTA.[40]

In August 1934 some federal projects to renovate the park of the Greensboro Battleground were undertaken with Joseph's company winning one of the sections of the work.[41] Joseph continued his service with the city board of examiners in 1935.[42] In 1936 another contract for a building came in.[43] In April Joseph was named to a committee to oversee the impact and reconstruction after a tornado came through Greensboro,[44] as part of the 1936 Cordele–Greensboro tornado outbreak. That summer a number of new schools were contracted out from the Greensboro school system and Joseph's company won the Gibsonville one.[45] Sawyer's company would also work on novel construction cases like a "cast stone" house in November.[46] Family came visiting as noted on the society pages in December while the family lived on Wilson St.[47] The Sawyer daughters hosted a large party for 100 at the Starmount Country Club, a place that still exists today, at the end of the year.[48] The club was a fairly rare case of Jews forming a majority population.[49] In April a marriage of a kin of Louise' was an opportunity for her to host and be in receptions.[50]

In 1938 Joseph gained a partner from Athens, Georgia,[51] and moved offices.[52] Lizzie Lindsay Juniors, unit of the Children of the Confederacy, associated with the Daughters of the Confederacy, held an event to which the Sawyers attended.[53] In March Louise joined in a Daughters of the Revolution conference.[54] It was a fundraiser.[55] Sawyer's company work reached Lumberton in 1938.[56] And a meeting of statewide leaders of implimenting a federal program for small homes had Joseph among the attendees.[57]

Sawyer daughter Virginia graduated from high school in 1938-9.[58]

In March 1939 Louise wrote in support of a social newspaper column,[59] and in the fall daughter Virginia entered a Baltimore art contest.[60] A house in Asheboro was done by Joseph as well.[61]

The family returned from the dedication of the Lumberton construction project.[62] Louise chaired the parade of judges for the opening ceremony of the building.[63] The family was living on South Mendenhall St. by 1940.[64]

Daughter Virginia married Paul Wolfing Schenck August 9, 1940 in York, South Carolina, though it wasn't announced until months later.[65] Inbetween, in October, a Joseph brother R. L. Sawyer died in Norfolk VA[66] Announcements of the Sawyer-Schenck marriage came with receptions among family being held in April to which Louise came "after the game".[67] though she and sister Margaret also attended socials arranged by her daughter.[68]

In August 1941 a million dollar project with Charles Hartmann and Leon McMinn for 300 homes with divisions for white and black communities was established with Sawyer participating in the project.[69]

All along and into the future we do not have a published commentary from Louise or Joseph on their views of what was going on, what life was like, why they did what they did or didn't do what they didn't do. Whatever the subjects possible to ask on, none are available to date. It is in this context one wonders why Louise went on two week "spiritual retreat" to The Isles-of-Shoals off coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, returned the first week of September and thus dating her stay there around the last couple weeks of August.[70] In a Bahá'í context it is, of course, close to Green Acre Bahá'í School[71] but there is not evidence of any specific connection. In light of coming events it is most curious though. This is near the period of Nancy Bowditch giving a talk in July on her pilgrimage, and the Gregorys and Feast in September.[72] Alternatively there was the 25th anniversary Congregationalists retreat at Star Island, one of the Isles of Shoals,[73] held just after the period as well, at best overlapping with her last days there. A memorial garden for Celia Thaxter was set as well.[74] With the looming World War there was also news of submarine exercises in the area of the Shoals.[75] The Congregationalist meeting did go two weeks,[76] and business sessions,[77] and attracted then Governor Robert O. Blood.[78] The vacation season of 1941 closed in September.[79] Louise's life was one of privilege because of the success of her husband and had been somewhat integrated into the higher white society of Greensboro. Out of this trip initially things continued as normal for the Sawyers - Joseph has a building contract in October.[80] In November it was mentioned daughter Margaret was a student at Duke University.[81] Days after the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor the federal house project mentioned above entered a new phase.[82] Margaret who was a nursing student at Duke stayed at the Sawyer home over winter break.[83]

The Bahá'í Faith[edit]

The next public mention of the Sawyers comes in the summer. However it is known Louise was involved in classes on the Bahá'í Faith held by Ruth Moffett in the spring of 1942. From Coverage of the Bahá'í Faith in Greensboro, NC, newspapers, and mention of North Carolina in the ''Baha'i News'', we know Moffett was active a few weeks in March 1942 in Greensboro. In fact in a report to the National Teaching Committee[84] Moffett's arrival mid-February including mention of a blizzard which happened March 2-3.[85] After about 2 weeks of no seeming progress holding public meetings of her own, Moffett was able to present at the Hayes-Taylor YMCA which served the black community at which some 30 attended March 1, a series of classes at Guilford College March 6, and herself attending a girl scout conference to hand out invitations. Following this Moffett was approached by Louise at her hotel and asked, in the words of Moffett, "if I was a student of Unity". Moffett called her an answer to prayer.[84] Moffett was variously assisted by two black Bahá'ís already in Greensboro - Alice Higginbotham, who was sick in the hospital when Moffett first arrived, and Amy Bailey who had to work but is specifically noted present at some meetings and may have attended many of them. Moffett calls them both "Beautiful souls." In a summary report Moffett says: of the 71 meetings and events in Greensboro Louise attended 46 in a consecutive series - "a thing unheard of in the South."[86] While 65 different people attended at least one event no other person attended more than 40 in any series save Louise. Four did attend 40 meetings though Moffett doesn't say they were consecutive. Fourteen people became regular attendees of the Study Class that formed. By the time Moffett left in later April two had definitely joined the Bahá'í Faith - Louise Sawyer and Pearl Dick (soon Kent) - to join the two black Bahá'ís in holding continued meetings.

In an undated draft of two statements among a collection of Louise' at the National Bahá'í Center she refers very briefly to these events saying that Moffet "gave a series of six illustrated lectures which stimulated so much interest that she remained to conduct a Seminar in which she stated that the spirit of Christ had returned in the person of Baha'u'llah whose name when translated from the Arabic means 'Glory of God' and that He is the latest in a series of Divine Messengers sent by God since the beginning of man's existence on earth and that He is the Promised One of all religions." In the other draft she says Moffett "visited Greensboro to introduce the community to the B - Faith(sic) with a series of lectures and colored slides.… She told those attending that Bahais (sic) believe that the spirit of Christ had returned in the person of Baha'u'llah, who is the Messenger of God for this age."[87] Newspaper coverage mentions talks entitled "The Message of the Age and the coming New World Order",[88] "The Mysteries of the Sphinx",[89] "Patterns of the coming new civilization"[90] "The great destiny of America"[91] and many of which also discussed the Book of Revelation. March 6 Moffet spoke on Guilford College campus,[92] and March 18 in the afternoon Moffett talked at the African American college the Palmer Memorial Institute and her talk was summarized - we are on the threshold of a new era when war and discrimination would be eliminated and freedom to explore talents. The architectural symbolism of the Bahá'í Temple was also reviewed. Moffett was introduced by Amy Bailey and the glee club sang "Follow the Gleam".[93] The Sawyers hosted a reception for Moffett and Esther Sego of Augusta, Georgia, at their home on March 29 where Moffett spoke to audience of 14 on "Looking at prayers through the windows of science".[94] While the newspaper didn't say so, it was in fact an interracial meeting - the first Moffett knew of among Bahá'ís of North Carolina.[84] Moffett returned in July 1942 for an intensive conference of study for the Bahá'ís that was also interracial.[95] It was held in the Sawyer home and was held from the 4th through the 6th starting 9 or 10am and into the evening past 8pm each night often with dinner over at the Goodwin home. Ester Sego from Atlanta, GA joined the group and led several of the sessions. African American Amy Bailey, Mary Ann Lefler of Kannapolis, NC, and Louise each led a session. At the end of this African American Naomi Simmons was also recognized as a Bahá'í and Joseph Jr. as a registered youth for the religion.

Stanwood Cobb was invited and announced to come later in November by Louise.[96] Such was the growth of interest and intensity of faith forming a community that with some pioneers in the persons of African Americans Adrienne Ellis (later Reeves) and Eva Lee Flack (later MacAllister) a Spiritual Assembly of Greensboro was elected in Spring 1943. Backing up into the middle of this period we have a newspaper article of daughter Margaret at the Sawyer home and that Joseph was down in Wilmington for "war work”.[97] In August Margaret returned to spend time with her mother.[98] In October Louise participated in the Piedmont Bird Club exercises,[99] and the society page noted many Sawyer family gatherings during Thanksgiving,[100] shortly after which it was announced Joseph Sr had returned as well.[101] Louise also formally joined the birding club.[102] Society meetings continued through the season.[103] In February 1943 Louise attended a United Daughters of the Confederacy meeting cohosting a reception on poetry of Sidney Lanier.[104]

First assembly in North Carolina[edit]

In March there was mention of 8 Bahá'ís in Greensboro[105] - one more would be needed to form the Assembly. New assemblies were in fact elected in Wilmington, Delaware, Charleston, West Virginia, and Greensboro, North Carolina,[106] with Evangeline Rickart as the contact person in Greensboro,[107] and that Louise (and Eva McAllister) had joined the Regional Teaching Committee for North Carolina, South, and Georgia.[108]

First spiritual assembly of North Carolina

A photo Greensboro Assembly was published in November with no names listed but there are 3 black ladies, 5 white ladies, and one white man in the picture.[109] However a record exists of their names in 1943 and some successive assemblies until 1947-8.[110] Standing on the far left is Naomi Simmons. Pioneers Eva Lee Flack (later McAllister, seated far right) and Adrienne Ellis (later Reeves, standing near far right) are the other black ladies. Louise is seated on the far left in front of Simmons. Recently married[111] and employed at the Standard Life Insurance Company in the Jefferson Standard Building Pearle Dick Kent, Greta Sand, from recently German occupied Czechoslovakia and soon naturalized US citizen,[112] and Evangeline Rickart would be the other three white women. The man is John Goodwin and Alise Goodwin is on the back right behind Eva Flack.[113] It is also known that African-American Hubert Parris was there that day from Rich Square, North Carolina, where he lived.

The achievement of a racially integrated Assembly and the documentation of the first racially integrated social meeting in the Sawyer home does not mean there wasn't a learning curve of the implications of equality as held up by Shoghi Effendi, then head of the religion, that in the space of a few months equality had been achieved. Fellow assembly member Adrienne Ellis says: “We forged ourselves into a Spiritual Assembly after overcoming some real difficulties because of race, local customs and our immaturity in the Faith.”[114] Whatever the "local customs" and "immaturity in the Faith" means there was certainly room for inequality in a society very segregated and unequal. When Moffett had arrived in mid-February 1942 she commented on the culture she encountered in Greensboro in a report saying "Never saw so much orthodoxy, conservatism, prejudice, apathy and smugness rolled together."[115] And another Assembly member Eva Flack was named, in the words of Emogene Hoag of Greenville quoted in a PhD dissertation by Louis Venters, as pushing for all meetings in Greensboro to reflect total equality between black and white, which the community seems to have adopted despite it, “had prevented many of the better class” (of whites) “from investigating the teachings and caused no end of criticism.”[116]

Amidst these events Margaret returned in late June for the summer from her studies at Duke.[117] Family gatherings took place as well in late July.[118] Margaret returned again in September to "spend the month" with her parents.[119] In early November the Sawyer and Goodwin, and now adding the Kent, homes are again noted as hosting meetings for Moffett - the observance of the Birth of Bahá'u'lláh is particularly noted at the Sawyer home before leaving for Greenville, SC.[120] In December Joseph Sawyer Jr., 13 years old, was a student at the Out-of-Door Academy in Florida and was returning to spend the winter break with his parents - Joseph Sr had also been away in Wilmington and was expected home.[121] In April Louise Sawyer was the delegate from Greensboro for the centenary of the Declaration of the Bab and national Bahá'í convention of 1944.[87] The annual report of the Spiritual Assembly of Greensboro also lists Sawyer among those going to the Centenary event and national convention along with Adrienne Ellis, Eva Mcallister, and Evangeline Rickart,[122] despite the limitations of World War II.[123] 900 were planned on attending the convention and some 1600 plus attended the final meeting at what was then called the Hotel Stevens including attendees from Central and South America.[124] and that the delegates and guests would get a specific printed program.[125] A full text was indeed produced summarizing the first Bahá'í century.[126] Back home in Greensboro radio station WBIG carried an echo of the centenary program though the date of the broadcast is uncertain,[127] a print rendition of the program was made.[128]

In May Joseph was back from Wilmington - indefinitely.[129] It is not said why. In July he is selected as the city Rent Examiner.[130] Margaret hosted a wedding reception at her parent's home in November.[131] Louise, through the United Daughters of the Confederacy, was on the committee for “patriotic activities and civilian defense.”[132]

And Joseph Sawyer Sr.[edit]

Almost a year passes without known commentary. In the summer of 1945 Joseph re-opened his architect firm,[133] and made and returned from a business trip to New York City in October.[134] That winter Joseph is noted as the convening chair of the state convention of Bahá'ís working along with Eva F. McAllister and David Wark.[135] Joseph J. Sawyer Sr., a prominent architect of North Carolina, had quietly joined the Faith with his wife.

Margaret had taken a job in Cincinnati, Ohio, and visited at the end of the summer.[136] Contracts for Sawyer began to come in again,[137] most notably the new FM radio station,[138] The Sawyers visited with their daughter in Cincinnati later that winter.[139]

Work on the FM radio station - now named WFMY - continued in the spring.[140]

The June announcement of the Bahá'í Regional Teaching Committee for 1947 listed Louise as a member along with Evangilene Rickart as chair, Catherine Whitmore as secretery, and Naomi Simmons all known from Greensboro.[141] News on contracts for school building expansions and Sawyer's firm among them came in August.[142]

Joseph managed to run a red-light and get a ticket in March, 1948.[143] The wedding of Margaret in Cincinnati was also announced with receptions and a Presybyterian ceremony in Greensboro.[144] [145] Joseph was a member of the Bahá'í Regional Teaching Committee for North and South Carolina in 1948.

Progress on the school expansions and buildings continued in the summer.[146]

Louise was visible in a garden club in September,[147] and several family visits culminated in Joseph Jr. going to Bolles School in Florida.[148] In October the schools project advanced.[149]

However in late October the Sawyers had a car accident driving to Florida in which Joseph Sr was killed and Louise was hospitalized.[150] The accident was south of Hartsville, South Carolina and Louise convalesced in the Biyearly Hospital. The funeral for Joseph Sr was at Green Hill Cemetery.

Architect projects began to be assigned to others,[151] and the estate was posted for settling in December.[152]

Widower[edit]

Louise Sawyer was named chair of the NC-SC Regional Teaching Committee assisted by Naomi Simmons in Greensboro.[153] Louise contracted for some changes to the house.[154]

The next mention was in February, 1950 when the Bahá'í delegate, H R Broadhurst, was mentioned by Louise for mention in the newspaper, called a public relations director.[155]

In May Louise visited her daughter in Cincinnati,[156] and family visited her in the summer.[157]

The next year, in June 1951, Louise hosted a Bahá'í conference in her home with Bahá'ís from Rocky Mount and Greenville, SC.[158] Soon daughter Margaret visited.[159] A sister of Louise died in September.[160] Another sister visited in May 1952.[161] Another kin married in August and receptions were held including visits of Sawyer daughters.[162]

In October 1952 Louse announced a talk by Bahá'í Edgar Olsen.[163]

Louise donated the Bahá'í book Prescription for Living in memory of Joseph Sr to the Greensboro Public Library in July 1953.[164]

Durham[edit]

Another sister came to visit in July 1954,[165] and another kind was getting married in summer of 1955.[166] Joseph Jr. was attending Campbell University in Durham and graduated in 1955.[167] [168] In October Louise wrote a letter to the editor appreciating a series of articles and commending the Bahá'í Faith as a subject.[169] Among a list of state convention of the North Carolina Bahá'ís in November Louise was noted away visiting her son in Riviera Beach, Florida.[170]

In the later summer 1956 Louise attended a King's Daughter Convention, in Durham.[171]

In March 1957 Louise was among many Bahá'ís and friends who listened to a talk hosted by Ludmila Van Sombeek in Durham.[172] A year later Louise accompanied Ludmilla to an intercontinental conference of Bahá'ís in Chicago.[173] In 1959 Louise was listed as the secretary of the community, Carlotta Holmes as treasurer and Ludmilla.[174] This was not an assembly yet - just a registered group.

In 1960 Louise joined a small letter to the editor calling for the end of racism.[175] In July Louise assisted some kin with twins,[176] and in September was the contact person for a Bahá'í advertisement for World Peace Day,[177] and she sent a letter to the editor for the community supporting Human Rights Day to two newspapers.[178] January 1961 followed with a notice with Louise as secretary for the community observance of World Religion Day again to two newspapers.[179] In March Louise was a guest at a Durham YWCA meeting,[180] After the election of the Spiritual Assembly in Durham in 1961, Louise was noted as treasurer of assembly and another member of the assembly was Joseph Jr.[181] That summer Joseph Jr. was among several of Durham who attended a conference in South Carolina on the 50th anniversary of the visit of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to America and among the speakers was Ruth Moffett.[182]

Greensboro[edit]

In December 1962 Louise was back in Greensboro and got a ticket for running a red light.[183] In February 1963 a brother died in Greensboro.[184] In April Louise appeared as one of the Bahá'ís from Greensboro in group coverage of and trip to the first Bahá'í World Congress in London.[185]

Retirement[edit]

After the World Congress Louise seems to have gone into a degree of retirement from society and public coverage of her life.

In January 1965 an architect apprentice of Joseph Sr retired.[186] In June Joseph Jr. was the contact person for a Bahá'í observance of Race Unity Day.[187] In July another marriage of kin also mentioned Louise was living back on S. Mendenhall St.[188] Daughter Virginia died in December 1966.[189] In July 1967 Joseph Jr. and others were noted attending going to the Bahá'í summer school.[190] Two years later another kin of Louis married - a granddaughter.[191] Six years later another kin of Louise married.[192]

Louise and one other sister were left in 1976 with the death of a third.[193]

A report summarizing the history of the Faith in Greensboro published as part of a series in 1986 noted Louse meeting Ruth Moffett and, as understood at the time, called the first native born Bahá'í of North Carolina.[194]

Louise died November 1996.[4]

Joseph Jr. died in 2007.[195]
