Something to dig deeper about in the Acts of Assembly for 1947. Also, I noticed there was another group that shows up in a 1912 newspaper with a similar name called the East End Citizens’ Association of Jefferson Ward. Possibly the same group?
@11 Dana Bagby… LOL 🙂 This is what happens when you have 2nd generation, low resolution scans placed online. The newspaper archives are invaluable, don’t get me wrong. I use them all the time for research and suspect John M. is using Newspapers.com? I use GenealogyBank.com along with ChronicalingAmerica.loc.gov . My version is clearer and reads “the threatened era of despotic and dictatorial class government” . There was a lot of talk about eliminating the “wards” that year as well. . The problem I have with the “Jefferson Ward” being “Church Hill” is that it is not totally true because a lot of it falls within the “Marshall Ward” East of 24th and North of Broad. But then again, that would be segregating the NOB as it has been for eons.
Seceding Jefferson Ward would have permanently physically (and psychologically) divided Church Hill, which is what I was getting at. The NOB section would not have counted in their eyes, as has been the case for many years hence the lack of historical documentation.

People’s republic of Church hill! Our flag can be that one that the neighborhood association sells
There’s so much I don’t know. That’s why I love my children so much, they enlighten me!
This 1947 map exists, but you would have to go to Charlottesville to view it: http://search.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/u4876291
Found this map from 1946 about the “condition of buildings” in Richmond. http://www.virginiamemory.com/online-exhibitions/items/show/7
I need me a pair of those Jantzen trunks to go with my new white Casuals.
