James Burie Clegg wrote 28 Aug 1979: We attended the Clegg reunion, which was held at the old Clegg place near Malone, or Flat Rock, near Wadley - for the first time in many years! I went to a reunion there about 1915, I believe. Our great granddaddy, Dr. Jim Clegg built it in 1860. Our granddad, Rev. James H. Clegg, lived there, too. He was a Methodist preacher and farmer. It's still a sturdy old house and was owned by Eunice Clegg Stephens until last year when she sold it to an insurance man Clegg, a nephew, of La Grange, along with 125 acres.

| Biography* | | The following is from the Roanoke Leader 27 Feb 1980: Flowers for the Living MRS. EUNICE CLEGG STEPHENS Mrs. Eunice Clegg Stephens, affectionately known by all of Wadley as "Miss Eunice," has been named as the recipient of the "Flowers for the Living" for the month of February. "Miss Eunice" was presented a cut arrangement of dutch iris, white daisies, and red pixie carnations with gyp by Rand Florist on Monday, February 25. She is shown in the photo receiving the flowers. Miss Eunice was born in Randolph County on July 4, 1893, to Mr. and Mrs. George Clegg. She was one of thirteen children, having six brothers and six sisters. All the other family members are now deceased with the exception of one sister, Mrs. Trudie Mitchell of Leesburg, Alabama. Miss Eunice has lived her life in Cragford, Almond, Malone, and Wadley. She has lived in her present home since 1928. She attended school at Almond and recalls she was more fortunate than some because she remembers she had more than one teacher. She also attended Athens College. In reminiscing of the past, she said "she tried" to teach school one year during World War I at the Bell School near Cragford. She also served as a substitute mail carrier for the Cragford post office. This was in the days when you had no car and your means of transportation was the buggy. She has many interesting stories to keep you laughing about these experiences. She recalls she had thoughts of becoming a nurse, but when a position became available in the Bank of Wadley she accepted (1922) and worked there until the early 1960's when she went to work at Southern Union. When asked if she had a title like treasurer, she said she didn't know--she just kept up with the money! Three happy years of marriage were to be hers when she married Mr. Minus Stephens in 1950. Mr. Stephens died in 1953. One doesn't have to talk to Miss Eunice long to know how much,she loves her family. She has helped in compiling a book, "The Cleggs of Old Chatham," which was published in 1977 and has one chapter of her grandfather, James Polk Clegg's life. She also collects sayings and poems--some of her own writings--puts them in small book form and presents them to the sick, shut-ins, and friends. One person in submitting Miss Eunice's name said she had touched more lives with her goodness than anyone they had ever known. Others said she was the living exemplification of a Christian. When you think "church", "love", "Christian", you automatically think of Miss Eunice. She has always been a worker in the Methodist Church. She taught a Sunday school class for the young people for many years. Some still recall her early teaching of the Bible to them. She said she even "tried" to be superintendent of the Sunday school one year. She still is an active member of the church and a member of the United Methodist Women. This may come as a surprise to many who do not know Miss Eunice well-- she is a gifted artist who has some lovely paintings in her home. She also plays the accordion. When asked what she attributed her fruitful life to, she answered with "the worship of God and doing the best you can." She sums this true meaning in one of her original poems, which ends this way: "because we do have many flaws, Is no excuse to stay that way; For, if we worship God and do the best we can, We will surely make some progress every day." We are happy to name Miss Eunice as our Flowers for the Living Award-winner for February. |
