"Jack Whitmire never ran
out of tall tales to relate to his grandchildren. He told many stories about his ancestors and of life as it used
to be in the mountains. One night a panther
was accidentally driven in with the sheep, and he often told the story of the
exciting time. Like most of his
neighbors Jack was a farmer and for many years he hand split white oak logs and
made or repaired split bottom chairs.
He trimmed down the white oak strips using only his pocketknife until
they were finely dressed. One of his
prized possessions was an old Victrola which he protected with a sheet tied
with a ribbon. He did not allow
youngsters to play the Victrola, but he loved music and would willingly play
the old hymns and country records such as those recorded by the Carter
family. He was a member of Old Toxaway
Baptist Church for 62 years and was buried in the Whitmire family cemetery at
Quebec. In his honor a reunion is held
at the Quebec Community Center on the last Sunday of August each year, and
hundreds of his descendants attend."
