Notes for WILLIAM BIRD SMITH:

Willian Bird Smith was the teacher at the Lone Beech community according to a story from The Front Banner News.

 

 

Notes from the Springhill Press, Special "Springhill High School Hall of Fame Induction" Saturday, November 8, 1997. 

"William Bird Smith took an entrance examination that qualified him a four-year scholarship to the Teacher College at Peabody University in 1903 at age 15 and graduated with high honors.  Professor Smith, as many of his students called him, was born on August 18, 1864 in Reply, MS. 

He was the first degree teacher in North Webster Parish.  He taught at McNeal, AR and later, in Webster Parish at Cotton Valley, and Sarepta, LA, serving as teacher and principal.  He prepared both schools to become State Certified.  Prior to serving these two schools as principals, he was the first Principal of Springhill and standardized Springhill to become an approved State school.

He conducted the first graduating class of 1910-1911 with two graduates: his daughter bertha Smith Reynolds and W.A. Miller.  He taught 28 years at Springhill High School.  Early days at Springhill High, teachers were promoted by subject matter taught and not by grade levels.  The writer and producer of this information visited the old school on the "Hill" in 1917 at age four and continued his education under Mr. Smith as his Latin student.  All who knew W.B. honored and respected him as a kind, highly intelligent, friendly person, who possessed a warm personality with a kind smile, loyalty and high values.

Citizens of Springhill and all of his former students appreciate his long term of service, which has been characterized by such splendid traits as excellent attitude, cooperation and superior work.  Your untiring service will be long remembered as a fine example of a faithful servant of the public."

 

I think this was a very good article about Bird Smith, my great-grandfather.  I did get to know and visit him when I was a child.  I remember him showing me his sheep skin from Peabody.  I wish I could remember all the stories he told me, but I did not realize the importance of them back then.

Notes for JAMES ROLAND ROBERTSON, SR.:

James grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana.  Ceder Grove was the area of Shreveport he lived.  105 east 72 St.

James served in the Navy SeaBees during World War II.  He was a Builder First Class Petty Officer.

 

James was known as "Tubby" by his friends and family.

 

James was a brick mason.  He worked for International Paper Company from 1950 to 1975 when he died.  He was a foreman in the plant, but still worked with his tools. Before working for IP, he worked construction as a brick mason across Louisiana and Arkansas.

James was also a founding member of the Springhill Association for Retarded Citizens.  He served as President and other offices.  He was also a member of Louisiana Association for Retarded Citizens.  He held every office but president.  Along with his wife, Hilda,  started Camp LARCEE, a summer camp for people with mental retardation.  This camp ran from 1959 to 1978.  He spent two weeks of vacation each of those years at camp.  Camp LARCEE provided a place for people with mental retardation to have fun and recreation.  It also provided a training ground for people who wanted to work with the disabled.  Over the years a college course was taught to the counselors.  They could get two hours college credit.  Many of the counselors went on to become teachers or go to work in the disability field.  All of the family worked at camp. 

 

James also helped many people in the community.  He along with his family helped people whose homes had burned down rebuild their homes.

 

James and Hilda were honored by the American Association on Mental Retardation- Louisiana  with a "Significant Contributions of the 20th Century"  recognition award August 5, 1999

The article about them reads

"Hilda and James Robertson(Jimmy) was a young family with a small son, soon to become the parents of a baby girl that happened to have Down's syndrome.  This even changed the lives of this family and the entire community of Springhill, LA.  The efforts of these two people extended to the entire state of Louisiana and other southern states.  As their little girl grew older, the medical community suggested that the family put their child in St. Mary's School.  They packed her suitcases and went to the school.  They returned home with their little girl unable to part from her.  Their world begin a lifetime involvement of providing services for her and others with disabilities.

 

Hilda and Jimmy started the Evergreen Presbyterian program.  The facility was started with a few boys in an abandoned school.  Now, Evergreen Presbyterian Ministries has programs in five states serving over 600 people with disabilities an array of services.

 

Hilda and Jimmy were involved in getting the first public school special education class started in Webster Parish.  Their little girl was enrolled in the class with ten other children.  Now there are several classes in every school.

 

They were both involved in the local and state Associations for Retarded Citizens with each one serving in leadership positions in both organizations.  They both served on the Board of Directors in both organizations.  Three generations of Robertson's have now served on the State ARC Board of Directors.

 

The local ARC with the leadership of the Robertson's opened SPARC Center Workshop in Springhill to provide training for the older person who needed job skills for employment.  They now serve 65 people in a variety of jobs.

 

Their next major project was Camp LARCEE - a two week recreation program for children with mental retardation.  It came into existence in 1959 with twelve campers.  Counselors were college students that received three hours of college credit for working two weeks at the camp.  In 1978, there were 160 campers attending the last camp at Lake Bisteneau.

 

After Jimmy's death, Hilda had a burning desire to provide for their daughter's future.  Typical of Hilda, she went to the local bank and borrowed the money to purchase a house and convert it into a co-ed group home.  This was the first co-ed group home in the state and the only group home in Springhill.  Bell Oaks, Inc. was formed with their daughter as the first occupant.  Now there are three group homes and a large array of services for people with mental retardation in the Springhill area.

 

Hilda and Jimmy worked tirelessly to develop programs.  They enlisted family, friends, coworkers, businessmen, union and management people, politicians, and students to assist in this work.  This remarkable couple met their simple goal.  That goal was to provide a network of excellent services for the person with disabilities to help them gain their independence, enhance their self-esteem and dignity and personal worth as a member of society."

 

 

This is a letter that James wrote his mom and dad in 1944.  James R. Robertson, Jr. has the original Letter.

 

                                                        Berkley, California

                                                        November 25, 1944

 

Dearest Mom and Dad,

 

        I am sorry I haven't written you before now, but you know me when it comes to writing letters, I just never seem to get around to it. This evening I borrowed one of the boys typewriters and am using the good old hunt and peck system to write.  Maybe I'll get it written this time before I quit, like I usually do when I start a letter to you.

 

        How's Jimmy's foot where he dropped a brick on it? God only knows how much I would love to see the little wart.  You'll never know how lonesome a fellow gets to see his own son.  I have it all figured out.  When I come home, I am going to spend the entire day there just having fun together and maybe I'll buy him a complete outfit of clothes.  That is all I have been able to think of for the past several weeks.  It is kind of hard now to realize I have a son, I've been away from him so long now.  I can't even begin to imagine how he looks.  The most outstanding thing I always remember about him was the cute way he used to tell me, " Me fix it Daddy" and I met Hilda and him in the train station that time, or rather when they met me and he said, "Hi, Tubby", gosh it hurts to remember those little things about him, but if I didn't have those sweet memories, what would I have?  When this old war is over, I'm going to have a whole house full of them, dozens and dozens. Ha!

       

        I'm still stevedoring.  Working days now.  But in another week or so, I'll go nights again.  It surely gets old.  I'll be kind of glad to leave this place. I don't like California anyway.  It is always so cold and damp.  I keep a cold all the time.  I have one right now.  I'm going to the pharmacist here in camp for it every evening.. He is giving me some pills for it, so I guess it won't be long now until I am rid of it.

 

        I told the Chief the other evening that I would be glad to do anything rather than do this stevedoring.  He laughed when I said I rather keep the stoves filled with oil than do what I am doing.  I've loaded enough stuff on ships since I've been here to feed and clothe the whole of Europe and then some.  It isn't that the work is so very hard, it just gets monotonous.

 

        I know you get tired of my belly aching, but if I couldn't grip to you all, who would I gripe to?

 

        Well, folks, I guess I will close for tonight.  Got to go take a shower (cold) and get some shut-eye so I can get up when 5:30 rolls around in the morning.

 

        Give my love to Hilda and kiss Jimmy Boy for me and tell him Daddy is thinking of him and would give anything to be able to see him.

 

 

                                                        All my love, your Son,

                                                        (signed) Jim

A Loss For Springhill

 

Springhill has lost one of those citizens it cannot afford to lose. The sudden death of James (Tubby) R. Robertson will leave a gap in the ranks of those who were always willing to do something extra to make the community a better place in which to live.

 

Robertson was no political leader nor was he continually making front page news with great pronouncements.  He was a doer.  He did and did and did.

 

Listing the things he did would take pages, but two of his most shining accomplishments will live forever.

 

Robertson was one of the moving forces, probably the first and most insistent, in the founding of the Evergreen Presbyterian Vocational School.  This school, now nationally famous, was the result of months and years of night riding, sweat, and dollars from his own pocket.

 

Tubby was the founding father of Camp LARCEE. Camp LARCEE is the state-wide camp for mentally retarded children founded in 1958 at the state campgrounds at Lake Bisteneau.  He, his wife, and a handful of others begged food, funds and help from Springhill residents in order to offer the mentally retarded summer camp.  It was his concern and effort that kept the camp going during the critical formative years.  It was his labor that provided much of the equipment for the camp.  It was money from his own pocket that financed some of the ventures.

 

Camp LARCEE is now financed from all quarters and is considered a fixture in Louisiana. In fact it is a model which many other states have copied.  So strongly entrenched is the camp that several universities in Louisiana offer college credits to students who serve as counselors.

 

He was one of those people who you knew you could call on for help and it was forthcoming.  He never refused.

 

Tubby was not, as we said, a politician or a business or industrial leader.  He was a brick mason.  He was good at his trade.  One of the best.  And, he used his trade and his skills for the betterment of Springhill and the people who live here.

 

He was one of those people who carried not only his share of the load, but he also carried the load for others less inclined to care about the welfare of his fellowman.

 

His loss will leave a void not only in the lives of his family, but also in the lives of the hundreds and thousands of people around Springhill and in Louisiana that he helped in one way or another.
