Images of America - Robeson County by
K. Blake Tyner
Robeson County has been
a labor of love and a wonderful collaboration
of the citizens of Robeson County. This
project began as an independent study
for my history major at the University
of North Carolina at Pembroke.
My wife, Bess, and I were able to find
a large number of photographs in our
own collection, the Hubbard-Tyner Collection,
and this created a starting point for
the gathering. I traveled the county
renewing friendships and creating new
ones as I sought out the needed photographs
and information to create this book.
The book features over 200 photographs
from numerous collections many never
seen outside of the family. I have attempted
in photos and captions to tell the story
of Robeson from the Native Americans
who first lived in the area to the white
and African Americans settlers who made
it their adopted home.
The book is divided into eight chapters,
click on each chapter to see samples
of the photos from that chapter: Home
Life and Family, Work Life, Religious
Life, Education, Government, Wars and
Military Activities, Robeson County
Citizens, & Social and Community
Events.
The cost
is $19.99 plus $3.50 shipping &

Robeson County in Vintage Postcards
by K. Blake Tyner
This volume has brought together a collection
of vintage postcards that seek to take
the reader on a trip through Robeson
County’s proud heritage. I have strived
to include not only street scenes and
business scenes from long ago but historical
homes, churches, and most importantly,
community life. I gratefully acknowledge
the overwhelming support of those interested
in the preservation of Robeson County
history in their generous assistance
in sharing their images and stories.
It has been a true joy to journey back
and reconstruct the county’s past. All
postcards not listed as belonging to
another individual or part of a collection
are from the Hubbard-Tyner Collection,
this collection was started by my wife
and myself to purchase as many items
relating to the history of North and
South Carolina as possible.
The main purpose of
this book, other than the preservation
and dissemination of these postcards
is to continue to build an interest
in the study of Robeson County’s history,
and to encourage others to seek out
documents, photos, maps, and other ephemera
relating to the county history while
it still exists. Every twenty years
represents a new generation and the
potential of the loss of large amounts
of our history and artifacts. If new
generations of Robesonians are interested
in their history and the study of their
proud heritage, then the purpose of
this book is fulfilled. Our future is
truly rooted in our past, and preservation
of this foundation is a sacred trust
that we must uphold. The chapters are
Street Scenes; Water and Rails; Agriculture,
Industry, and Business; Hotels and Inns;
Homes; Education; Military; Religion;
Social Life and Popular Diversions &
Robeson Lost – Hoke County.
The cost
is $19.99 plus $3.50 shipping &
handling.

Marriage & Death Notices 1816 -
1840 Abstracted from the
Fayetteville Observer and Predecessor
Papers by
Bessie R. Hubbard
This book came into
being as a result of frustration of
the author, as is the case of many books.
In my genealogical research, I, like
everyone else, have a number of "deadend"
lines. As I began a search of the Fayetteville
Observer marriage and death notices
to see if they contained anything of
value for me personally, I gained a
great appreciation for the quality and
quantity of information contained in
the papers. I decided to extract this
material, and prepare a complete index
of it, so that others who would like
to use this wonderful source could access
it easily. I have attempted to include
only the material of genealogical or
unusual historical interest. Thus, in
many cases, items like the name of the
pastor who preformed the marriage, or
the professions of persons are left
out. Let me state, in bold letters that
these abstracts are not a substitute
for the actual obituary or marriage
notice in the paper. They are intended
as a guide to enable you, the researcher,
to see the highpoints of a listing at
a glance.
* Over 800 marriage listings covering
NC and upper SC. Many contain much detailed
information regarding the bride's family.
* Over 1800 death listings covering
the same area.
* Complete Full Name Index (over 65
pages!)
* Perpetual Calendar - to be used to
determine the date when only the day
of the week is given in the listing
* 193 pages, 9 page introduction, soft
bound, 8 1/2" x 11"Clear,
readable text
The cost
is $30 plus $5 shipping & handling.

him and marvel at his leadership. Underwood
offers a true look at his persona and
gives library archives an intimate portryal
of a man who contributed to society.
