The Batteau Festival draws people from far and near – taking everyone back to a time when the flat-bottomed boats were an
integral part of the commerce and trade along the banks of the James River. The Howardsville boat landing hosted the batteaus as

Batteau People Pole the James
By Sue A. Miles
Correspondent
A
s summer brings on its
heat and long lazy days,
the James River – always
majestic and commanding – draws its devotees, known as
tubers, kayakers, boaters, and swimmers, to its waters. For the 30th year,
during the third week of June, a special
group of people also arrive on the
James. They are the “Batteau People”
and their purpose is to honor local history, our heritage, and the wonderful
flat-bottomed boats that had an impact
on trade and commerce of our early
history.
The batteau (a French word for boat)
was a shallow draft river craft used during the period from 1775 to 1840 to
transport tobacco and other cargo on
the James River and its tributaries in the
state of Virginia. The flat-bottomed batteau was manned by men who used
long poles to guide the boat down the
river. In the colonial days, the batteau
was used extensively in rivers throughout the eastern part of the United
States. About 30 years ago, the discovery of a batteau relic in Richmond,
spurred history and river lovers to build
replicas of the boat with the goal of fol-

This year’s batteau festival saw over
23 replicas grace the river for the annual journey from Lynchburg to Maiden’s
Landing in Powhatan County, a distance
of 120 miles. Crews from Buckingham,
Cumberland, Powhatan, Goochland and
surrounding counties joined in their
annual sabbatical to go back in time,
ride the James, and let the river, and
sometimes inclement weather, be their
guide. Buckingham offered two batteau

The event is a special time for everyone who loves history, festivals, and

every year has its special challenges,

they keep up the tradition of history,

Scottsville Continues Winning Streak
By Ruth Klippstein
Correspondent
Correction: I have received one correction to the account of baseball in
Scottsville in the last issue of the Scottsville Monthly. I should have written Billy
Goodman, not Goodwin, as the 1953 manager of the Scottsville team, mentioned
in the “Sun” and described to me by Marvin Ripley; Goodman was his father-inlaw. Sorry!—Ruth Klippstein
In the 1950s, Scottsville had not only a town baseball team, but a newspaper,
J. Bernard McDearmon’s “Scottsville Sun,” to report on the team’s doings. As the
Scottsville Museum inaugurates a summer project to digitally scan Bob Spencer’s
collection of the “Sun,” we can take a sneak preview of some of what will appear
on the Museum’s website.
It was Thursday, June 11, 1953, the “Sun” announced the baseball team’s win-
ning streak. They beat Alberene 5-2 at home,
making them 6 and 0 for the season. “Austin
Easton was heavy hitter…3 out of 4, one of
which was a double,” and Talmadge Tyler and
Joe Brochu both got triples. The Scottsville
team, the “Sun” reported, “will enter the State
Tournament, in Charlottesville.”
Billy
Goodman was manager, Austin Easton the
captain. Other names—last only—on the roster: Rittenhouse, Childress, Hamner, Moulton,
Maupin, and Price.

The Evolution of Llanarth
By Ruth Klippstein
Correspondent
“L
ike people, houses are created, live, and grow old. Like us,
they eventually disappear,” Jack Larkin writes in “Where
We Lived, the American Home from 1775 to 1840.”
“Houses that survive to be studied, explored, and admired
by distant generations should be regarded as emissaries
from another time, as gateways into our past.”
The house now called Llanarth has not only survived, but has been reborn, for
new creative life, giving us views both backward and forward. Time never stands
still along the James. Llanarth is hidden in woods about three miles east of
Howardsville. Built about 1840, it became the property of the Gilmers, a family
important in early Virginia since their arrival from Scotland in 1731. Well-to-do and
educated, they prospered and spread from Williamsburg, and included a Virginia
governor and the owner of Pen Park plantation, 1792, in Charlottesville.
George Walker Gilmer, the first owner we can trace, was born to George
Christopher Gilmer on the family’s Buck Island property in 1845, about the time
official courthouse records list deeds. During his childhood his father was busy buying, selling, and trading properties in St. Anne’s Parish, as well as along Ivy Creek

and Buck Island. After Virginia succeeded from the Union, George Walker, 17,
enlisted in the Confederate Army. A month later, July 3, 1863, he was wounded
twice at Gettysburg and left on the field. He survived his wounds and imprisonment, was exchanged and rejoined the CSA two more times, serving finally with
Mosby’s Rangers until the close of the war.
Gilmer had been shot by a minie ball in the temple. It made him blind in his left
eye, and later in life gave him dreadful headaches. An early use of x-rays in 1897
allowed a Washington, D.C., doctor, variously written as Dr. Burnet and Dr. Burette,
to extract the ball. “A gallant soldier,” the “Confederate Veteran” magazine wrote
after Gilmer’s August, 1918 death at Llanarth; “a true man, his word was never doubled, his courage never questioned.” They noted he had been present at all
Scottsville Confederate reunions of the Henry Gantt camp; two of his daughters,
Lena Rose and Margaret Cabell Gilmer, were charter UDC members in Scottsville,
1908.
Gilmer didn’t languish after the war, despite his disability. Still a young man, he
became road commissioner, school board member, and an official in his church. He
was a “prominent and successful farmer in his native county,” says the 1920

Llanarth from page 5
Museum website, an 1892 group photograph of the Scottsville school children in
front of the now-vanished Brady Building at the corner of Valley and Main. She is
one of the older students. A Gilmer cousin of hers, Sarah, married Scottsville’s Dr.
Samuel Tompkins, whose 1835 house still graces Jackson Street; one of Sarah’s
grandchildren is Frank C. Moon, Scottsville lawyer and an officer of the early twentieth century Scottsville Brick Company.
Cenie Re Sturm recalls that both her parents, Russell and Cenie Moon, were
friends of Miss Monie’s. Russell had grocery stores in Scottsville and Warminster.
As he drove through Howardsville to attend to his business, he would note if there
was a sign left on Miss Monie’s mailbox. Is so, he would go to the house and find
out what groceries she needed; he would deliver them on a return trip. Sometimes,
Cenie Re guesses, Miss Monie didn’t need the food so much as the company. “A UB,” her father called Miss Monie, an unclaimed blessing, because she never married.
Cenie Re remembers visiting Miss Monie, who kept guinea fowl that “went
bonkers,” as guineas always will, when they arrived. One winter they became
snowbound during a visit, and though her father always drove through all kinds of
weather, that night they had the adventure of staying over—probably because,
Cenie Re thinks, her father wanted to insure Miss Monie’s safety. Cenie Re and Miss
Monie’s birthdays coincided, and Cenie Moon was always sure to have her to their
Scottsville home for a supper.
Llanarth was evolving with the times. In 1890 Gilmer added a new section across
the current front façade, reorienting the front door 90 degrees from its original position facing the road to the canal. Outbuildings sprang up, undocumented, and at
some point a second house was built and later burned. The ruins of this were found
by Richard deButts, of Esmont, during his ownership of the property as a hunting
lodge and preserve in the 1980s. De Butts tells that Mayor Raymon Thacker recalls
seeing the Gilmer sisters riding side saddle along the James. DeButts sold the house
and acreage immediately surrounding it, which proved difficult to maintain in
absentia, and it eventually came in 2003 to the current owners; deButts retains the
rest of the property.
Kathryne—Tinka to her friends—welcomes us on a summer afternoon. Our first
step inside envelopes us in a cool, glowing space, cozy and wood-lined, so unlike
the typical Greek Revival domestic architecture of this area. This space, opened by
Gilmer with multiple glass-paneled doors instead of windows, allows trees outside
seem part of the décor. The California Mission style furnishings brought by the new
owners fit well with the Craftsman paneling and other details. Most noteworthy in
the front room is the wall paper frieze around three walls, original to the house.
(“The owner wanted to show how rich and cultured he was,” assumes Kathryne.)
The four-foot wide strip tells an 18th century story: a stage coach ride near London,
a set of passengers who change their seats, and finally the girl in pink being helped
down and held by the gentleman, who may be changing his travel plans. Round,
mounded drawings of trees unite the length of the journey, and echo the green of
the woodwork.
The Finns bought the ramshackle assemblage of house and attached sheds wanting to create a secure, art-oriented, community based refuge near the kind of services a city like Charlottesville could offer. But there was much to do to bring order
and comfort to the place, and architects and builders were brought in. That process
got complicated; the architect who helped most through the upheavals, Anne
Gibson Mark of Johnson, Carter, and Gibson in Charlottesville, remembers the challenges and pleasures of working on the house.
“When I first went down there, January of one of our coldest winters, the house
was virtually unfinished.” One woodstove was working, “but I was the coldest I’d
ever been in my life.” Wandering through the rooms, she says, “You couldn’t tell
where you were or where you’d been. Figuring it out was so much fun.”—Which

The family tended to long lives, and daughter Edmonia
Preston Gilmer was one of the longest lived of them all.
Edmonia, as an adult always called Miss Monie, was born
at Llanarth December 26, 1876 and died in Charlottesville,
105 years old, in 1981. “She was dragged kicking and
screaming” from the house, the current owner, Katherine
Finn, was told; she had always wanted to die there, but
needed nursing assistance.
she did by drawing a floorplan. Katherine says she had always dreamed of having
a house you could get lost in; now it was hers. She notes that it was originally a twoover-two, with fireplaces on the ends. In the 1890 renovation, the chimneys were
moved to adjacent walls.
Anne says “there was no rhyme or reason of how you moved through the
space”—this is the house, evolving; a haphazard maze had been created by joining
various outbuilding under the roof. “But it had charm,” both Anne and Katherine
agree; the light penetrating from outside was an important element, and one Anne
sought to retain. “The crucial thing was to hold on to the transition between the
spaces,” the various halls and rooms. Looking down at the drawings, they could
finally see how the house came together. We “tried to enhance it and make use of
all the pieces,” Anne says.
Katherine added a fine new kitchen and made a big pantry of the old one, changing the rear of the structure; a screened-in porch was added. After long, difficult
work, a new Llanarth emerged—though one, Kathryne says, she is sure is still visited by Miss Monie, a suggestion originally made to her by the previous owner,
Elizabeth Solomon.
Kathryne Finn has gardened at Llanarth, cared for her beloved dogs and cats, and
written the final version of her two recent books here; she loves the library room.
Kathryne has been a teacher, worked in publishing, and finally, caught up in the
mystery of the “Supposed Authoress” Dame Julyana Berners, c. late 1300s, whom
she read about while researching at the New York Public Library, has now published
the second of her planned trilogy about this first woman to print a book in English,
treatises on hawking, hunting, and heraldry.
Some do not believe in Dame Julyana’s existence, some say she couldn’t have
written on such noble, manly exercises. But Kathryne Finn has invented and
fleshed out in delightful detail a life for her, full of the history of the English
Plantagenets, Welsh bards and wise women, the pageantry and chaos of late
Medieval England, Wales, and Ireland. “I realized,” Kathryne says in her Author’s
Note, “the story of this famous, yet unknown, woman could only be told in fiction.”
She has done so magnificently.
“And Tomorrow is a Hawk” and “Echoes from an Ancient Place” are available at
Baine’s Coffee and Books, and the Scottsville Library. The rich creative life brewing
in Llanarth will bring us the finale of the trilogy in another year, and meanwhile, the
house itself will continue to live and evolve, changing with the needs of those who
inhabit it, always reflecting the past of those who were once there.
[My appreciative thanks to Kathryne Finn and to Jean Stratton, who brought us
together; and again to Anne Mark for enthusiastic help.—rk]

Youth Cadet Law program graduates 40
Last month, 40 high schools
students from across the
Commonwealth experienced
life as a Virginia State Police
Trainee, including Haley A.
Hughes of Scottsville, according to a press release from the
Virginia State Police.
Today, they are the newest
graduates of the 26th Youth
Cadet Law Enforcement program formally called the
Junior Law Cadet program.
The session is co-sponsored
by the Virginia State Police
and The American Legion. At
a ceremony held at the
Virginia State Police Academy
in Chesterfield County, the
teenagers were presented
their graduation certificates on
June 26.
The 26th Session of the Youth Cadet Law program is a weeklong training curriculum for high school students who have completed their junior year. Cadets
experience a life similar to a trooper-in-training, complete with daily room
inspections and instruction by
state
police
troopers
on
Department operations, crime
scene investigations, officer survival, undercover operations,
driver improvement, scuba training, defensive tactics and
firearms safety.
As part of their training, the
cadets also undergo a variety of
physical agility exercises used in
the Virginia State Police applicant testing process.
“What better way for a young
person interested in a law
enforcement career to experience first-hand if this is a calling
they want to pursue,” says
Colonel W. Steven Flaherty,
Virginia
State
Police
Superintendent. “It’s a valuable
experience which not only gives them instruction and training from our
Academy staff and provides a sample of the training a Virginia State trooper
undergoes, but it’s also a positive way for our Department to interact with
today’s youth.”

Fluvanna families fed for free
By Christina Dimeo Guseman, Correspondent
The long line of cars snaking around Effort Baptist
Church’s parking lot every last Thursday of the month
can inspire curious glances from drivers cruising by
on Rt. 53. What compels that many people to line
up their cars so early in the morning?
That line is in fact filled with hungry folks waiting for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank’s (BRAFB)
mobile food pantry to show up and pack their
trunks with 30 to 60 pounds of food, free of charge.
Sometimes the cars start pulling in at 5 or 6 a.m. for the
event’s 10:30 a.m. start, said Kamille Shifflett, site coordinator for the Fluvanna location. And they leave with pounds
of good food – usually none of it canned, said Shifflett – like
potatoes, carrots, onions, apples, milk, and bread.
“People don’t have to show need,” said Shifflett. There’s
no income verification or any sort of requirement, other than
demonstrating a home address. The reason for that rule, said
Shifflett, is to give each household the same amount of food,
rather than having multiple family members line up for packages.
In Fluvanna since 2011, the mobile food pantry at Effort Baptist Church helps
about 250 families per month receive the food they need, said Shifflett, though
the number fluctuates from month to month and drops during the summer.
Overall, however, it stays pretty steady, Shifflett said, even as the economy has
improved.
Last month the pantry helped 196 families containing 452 people, said
Shifflett. Of those people, 120 were children and 95 were seniors.
Though less known throughout the county, there is actually a second Fluvanna
site for the mobile food pantry: Columbia Baptist Church in Columbia. On the
third Wednesday of each month folks line up in much the same way to receive
fresh food for their families, said Cheryl Cooper, director of
agency relations and programs for BRAFB. This location usually serves about 130 families.
The food to feed all those families comes from multiple sources, Cooper said, including the Feeding
America Choice system, local growers, and donations
from food processors. “The product is almost exclusively donated,” she said, “and we strive to use as much
fresh, healthy product as possible.”
The gears in the works of the mobile food pantry, which
has helped so many Fluvanna families, are volunteers, said
Shifflett. Volunteers are needed to pack bags of food, put them in
car trunks, check in the recipients, and help with parking. And
their presence makes a very real difference.
“The truck cannot deliver food unless we have at least 12 volunteers,” said Shifflett, “because they feel it’s unsafe to have fewer.
That’s never happened – though it came close a couple months ago.
It would be devastating, because the families in line would have to
leave.”
So the big push, Shifflett said, is to get more volunteers. Children as young as
third or fourth grade can help under adult supervision, making this once-a-month
event perfect for families looking to volunteer together, said Shifflett. “It can be
hard to find mission projects to do together as a family,” she explained. “This
would work great.”
The mobile food pantry will come back to Effort Baptist Church on July 30
and to Columbia Baptist Church on Aug. 19. Volunteers are welcome and are
urged to contact Shifflett at 434-825-2061 or kamille@beautifulgate3.com for
the Effort location or Katie Harris at 434-220-5428 or kharris@brafb.org for
the Columbia location.

Batteau from page 3
Buckingham County was well represented at the batteau’s Howardsville landing; many
people making it an annual event. Wayne Davis and Thornton Miles, of Buckingham,
are shown with Renny Miles (Thornton’s brother) of Daytona Beach. Mike Dudley of
Virginia Beach made a point of joining his friends to honor the batteau history.
The festival draws hundreds of spectators along the path of the river event.
Starting at Lynchburg the flotilla stops at Wingina, Howardsville, Scottsville, Solite
Landing, and Columbia before ending up at Maiden’s Landing in Powhatan.
