MEMORIAL TO STELLA NANCY BELL JOHNSON (1884-1977)
Written by the Chaplain of the James B Gordon Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy
Mrs. Johnson was born Jan 13, 1884 at Ivor, Southampton County, Virginia. Stella Nancy Bell was the daughter of Captain Joseph Robert Bell and Mrs. Bell. She was married
to Rufus Eugene Johnson and they made their home in Winston-Salem.
Mrs. Johnson had been a member of First Presbyterian Church since April 29, 1906. Before her marriage she taught school for several years and afterwards became a
Sunday School teacher in the Junior Department in the Church. She held a number of offices, including treasurer and president of the Women's Auxiliary and was often a
Circle Leader. Her civil contributions included involvement in the formation of the YWCA, a member in the Woman's Club, and also a membership in the Birthday Club. She
served as the president of the Birthday Club several times.
Mrs. Johnson was a member of the Forsyth Country Club, and was a charter member of the Wachovia Chapter. She held her membership in the James B. Gordon Chapter of
the united Daughters of the Confederacy through the service to the Confederacy of her grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Bell of Company E of the Seventh Regiment of Virginia,
under Col. John Walker Taliaferro...the company was the 7th known as Wright's Brigade-- and finally her grandfather Benjamin Franklin Bell became Captain of Beazley's
Company E. Her recommendation for membership was from the 24th Battalion Heavy Artillar Co. E, now Hunter's Brigade, and the signers were D.N. Rawls of the 24th and R.N.
Smith of Co. 9, 13th Virginia Calvary.
In addition to her membership in our organization, she held memberships in these historical and patriotic organizations: DAR, the Jamestown Society, the Society of Mayflower
Descendants in VA, Colonial Dames of American (Chapter Seven of TN), Order of the Crown of Charlemagne in America, the Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede, the
Order of the First Families of Virginia, the North Carolina Historical Society, and she held her membership in both the National and State Huguenot Society, with her name being
included in the Hereditary Register for 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976.
Mrs. Johnson was truly a citizen of The World. Her younger days were spent in making her adopted home a better place to live in-- through her Church, the Women's Club, and
the YWCA, an organization originally dedicated to making a home for working girls away from their own homes.
Stella Nancy Bell Johnson was petite, with a delightful happy personality. Though she walked with kings, her loving nature kept the humble touch, people in all walks of life
enjoyed knowing her and basking in the essence of charm which she displayed in her relationships with other human beings. The James B. Gordon Chapter of the UDC was an
especial love of hers. In all our missions she was supportive and always backed this organization in the perpetuating of the memories of the heroic men who fought to protect
their homes and loved ones from the overhearing onslaught of the Yankees. She gave her best efforts towards the keeping of the Faith.
Mrs. Johnson is survived by one daughter, Helen (Mrs. Carl Walker McMurray), a member of our Chapter. Mrs. Johnson died Oct 9, 1977. We extend our love to Mrs.
McMurray.

August 23, 2009 - Winston-Salem Journal
Loree Eloise York Jarvis, 88, of Winston-Salem, passed away on Sunday, August 23, 2009 after living with Alzheimer' s disease for many years. She was preceded in
death by her steadfast husband of 67 years, Elmer G. "Skipper" Jarvis who passed away in November. Mrs. Jarvis is survived by two daughters and son-in-laws, Lynn
and Larry Stone of Boonville, NC and Hilda and Ethan Green of Suwanee, GA; three granddaughters and two grandson-in-laws, Julie Loree Stone of Minneapolis, MN,
Jennifer and Jay Jinkins, Emily and Trey Heffinger and two great-grandchildren, James Heffinger and Eliza Brooke Heffinger, all of Kennesaw, GA; three sisters, Ruth
Gregory and Martha Souther, both of North Wilkesboro and Polly Cates of Clemmons, and three sister-in-laws, Gladys York (Paul) of North Wilkesboro; Grace York (Zack)
of Miller' s Creek and Dare Jones (Elmer' s sister) of Wilkesboro. Loree was born in Stokesdale, NC on September 15, 1920, the middle-most child of 13 siblings and the
only red-head, to Isaac C. and Jettie Winona Day York. Loree and Skipper were both born in 1920 and graduated together from Union Grove High School in Union Grove,
NC in 1939. They continued to attend annual class reunions until Skipper' s death last fall. Loree and Skipper eloped to Johnson City, Tennessee on November 20, 1940.
Skipper and Loree were both charter members of Twin City Baptist Church in 1955 and maintained their membership there until their deaths. The couple lived in the
Washington Park neighborhood in Winston-Salem from 1951 until Skipper' s death last year. Loree graduated from Piedmont Bible College in Winston-Salem in 1967.
Known widely across the Winston-Salem area as "the World Book Lady," Loree retired from World Book Encyclopedia in 1982 where she had been a top area sales
manager and top seller for many years. Skipper retired that same year from Western Electric after 35 years of service. After traveling extensively abroad thanks to Loree' s
top saleswoman winnings, Loree and Skipper traveled extensively in retirement, visiting all 50 states and every province of Canada and every country in Europe. A great
lover of history and the United States of America, Loree was proud to be both a Daughter of the Confederacy and a Daughter of the American Revolution. Loree' s
family wishes to extend their deepest appreciation to Dr. Jeff Williamson of the ACE Unit at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center Sticht Center and his staff for
the care they gave Mrs. Jarvis in her final days. Remembering that Loree was always there for any of her relatives in need over the years, taking particular interest in and
providing much-needed support to each of her two elderly aunts, Julia and Goldie and a cousin, Virginia, in their later years. Loree' s family wants Linda Snow of Boonville,
NC a dear family friend, to know how much they all appreciate her being there for Loree in the hours preceding her death and for being there for Lynn, Larry, and Loree in
the last months of Loree' s life. Funeral services will be held 2:00 p.m. Thursday, August 27, 2009 at Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel in Winston-Salem. Visitation will be
one hour prior to the service. Long-time friends of Mrs. Jarvis, The Blythe Family, Libby, Buster, and Cheryl Ann, will perform music selections in Loree' s honor at the
service. The Revs. Timothy Wolf and Doug Couch, both long-time friends, will officiate. Memorials may be made to Boonville United Methodist Building Fund, P.O. Box 178,
Boonville, NC 27011. (Loree Jarvis joined the UDC on May 15, 1995 on the service of her great grandfather Julius Day, 2nd B Co., 42nd Reg't, NC)
