Is Birthyear, Not Birthday Honoree
For most of us, it is quite
flattering to have our birthday
' remembered by friends and
loved ones with cards and to
kens of good wishes, that one
special day in the year. But,
for Mrs. R. H. Budd, Sr., whose
' birthday on July 13th, accord
ed her the honor of being one
of our senior citizens, it has
not been a “birthday”, but, a
veritable "birthyear” celebra-
I tion!
The first celebration of this
happy event was a luncheon at
j Peachtree House in Atlanta,
; where she was honored by the
Pioneer Women’s Society, sev
eral of whom remember Atlan
ta as she does, in the 1870’s —
with no paving on Peachtree
St., with fenced yards enclos
ing flowers and inviting homes
where the Candler Building,
Davison’s and J. P. Allen’s now
j stand.
; Then to Jarrett Manor, at
Toccoa, where her Great
i grandfather, Jones Rutherford
Wyly lived in 1818, to a coun
ty-wide Confederate Centennial
I Celebration attended by 1,500
■ Stephens County citizens, at
which she was an honor guest
and program ‘participant. In
her reminiscences she told of
' how her great-grandmother
i learned the Indian language
and talked with the Indians.
This section of the state is es-
I pecially rich in Indian lore, and
• an Indian Museum just back of
Jarrett Manor houses many
I interesting relics of the Van
ishing American’s life while he
roamed its mountains and for
ests.
Her Sunday School Class of

Mrs. Hawk, Program Chair

Miss Hardman discussed the

found her greatest happiness in
sharing in church work, and in
her music. A talented pianist
and organist, she has also serv
ed as choir director, and has
taught private lessons since
she was 18 years old; and
at 90, still has piano pupils, in
addition to being pianist for
the Adult Department of her
Sunday School.
On Friday, July 14, a group
of relatives from Franklin, N.
C. came for the day to personal
ly express their love and good
wishes to Mrs. Budd, and were
guests of her daughter and
family, Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
Stephenson.
On Saturday, July 15, sons,
daughters, grandsons and
daughters, great - grandsons
and daughters converged from
all points in honor of Mrs.
Budd’s birthday, and were
guests at the Budd homeplace,
the Stephenson home and Crest
Motel.
On July 16, another group
of 39 descendants gathered at
the Stephenson home at an
open house held in her honor,
to sing, “Happy Birthday” to
their beloved “Mother Budd”,
as she is affectionately called
by young and old in Oxford.
Another celebration is sche
duled for August 5. at Frank
lin, N. C., to be followed by a
re-union of Verner relatives
from Walhalla, Seneca and Re
treat, S. C., at Verner Home
place in Retreat.
Blessed with rare health and
vitality, Mrs. Budd still per
sonally supervises a guest home,
principally for Christian Work
ers, college personnel, and re
turned missionaries; and until
recently also operated a guest
home in Atlanta, where she
commuted several days each
week.
Loathe to accept laurels for
her years, the dynamic little
personality, with eyes that
sparkle with the zest for life,
has never measured life by
years but by accomplishments.
Once in Athens, Ga., when
presented with a corsage for her
long WSCS service, she was
asked her age in an audience
of some 500, to which she re
plied, “Well, I will forgive you
for asking me, if you will for
give me for not answering”.
Keenly alert, mentally, Mrs.
Budd has the happy faculty of
enjoying the memories and
facts of the past, without re
trogressing; of relishing the
present, and facing the future
with anticipation and confi
dence.
Small wonder that family
and friends seek the opportun
ity to pay tribute to one whose
stamina and faith have made a
| truly “unforgettable charac
i ter"; and to make it a joyous
j '‘Birthyear”, for her.
