Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Mike Mettrey (Mikail Mitri) Wehbie was born in Mt. Lebanon on August 8, 1888. His wife, Mary Nehra Wehbie of the Saliba family, was born in Mt. Lebanon on January 25, 1896. Mike Wehbie's family immigrated to the United States in the late 1800s; Mary immigrated in 1906. In the early 1920s, Mike, Mary, and their nine children moved to Bteghrine, Lebanon for three years, where the children attended a French school. Mike and Mary's children were Nell (Nellie) Mettrey Wehbie, William Mettrey, Helen Wehbie, Christmas Wehbie, Amelia Wehbie (Salem), Simon or Sam Wehbie, Margaret Wehbie (Saloom), Marie Wehbie (Mossberg), and Wehbie Mettrey Wehbie. After returning to the United States, the family moved from Elizabeth City, North Carolina to Raleigh, North Carolina. In Raleigh, Mike opened several businesses on Fayetteville Street, including the Log Cabin, which was a popular restaurant and tavern during World War II. </p>
<p>Nell (Nellie) Mettrey Wehbie was born in Elizabeth City, North Carolina on April 30, 1916 to Mike and Mary Wehbie. She graduated From Meredith College in 1938 with a teaching degree and concentrations in English and Foreign Languages. George Kahdy was born in Baskinta, Lebanon on October 6, 1921. George and his parents, Adma Sawaya and Asaf (Assif) George Kahdy, immigrated to the United States when he was 18 months old. George had four sisters: Afifi (Adele), Genee (Janette), Sally, and Virginia. George was raised in Macon, Georgia and attended the Lanier School for Boys where he participated in ROTC. He spent one year at Georgia Tech before volunteering as a buck private in the 30th Infantry Division of the United States Army in 1940. George worked at Fort Jackson, South Carolina training draftees, became a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps, and taught graduate pilots gunnery and fighter tactics at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.</p>
<p>In 1944, George met Nell Wehbie through his parents, who were friends of Mike and Mary. At the time, Nell was working as a high school teacher in Warsaw, North Carolina. She also worked for the Red Cross in Washington D.C., where she lived with her sister, Amelia, and Amelia's husband, Joe Salem. On July 9, 1944, Nell and George married at Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh. While George was stationed at Eglin, the couple lived in Milton, Florida. They had their first child, Barbara, on July 14, 1945. On January 16, 1948, they had twins George and Georgette.</p>
<p>The family moved to Knightsdale, North Carolina, where Nell acquired a teaching job and George attended Wake Forest University under the G.I. Bill. After graduating, George taught math and science at Needham Broughton High School, where Nell taught language courses. Nell was honored in the 1950s and 1960s by the American Foreign Language Association as one of the top high school teachers in the United States. While teaching, both Nell and George earned Master's degrees at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1956, Nell received a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Goethe Institute in Munich, Germany for the summer. Through the American Institute of Foreign Studies, she led students and teachers on trips to England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Spain for 25 summers. George served as principal of various schools for 13 years, including during the period of school integration. He went on to hold various governmental positions related to education. </p>
<p>Nell passed away in July 2015 and George in September 2023. Barbara Kahdy Estes started a physical therapy practice in Atlanta before moving to the North Carolina mountains. George Kahdy Jr. became a veterinarian and founded a veterinary practice near Raleigh. Georgette Kahdy Stone taught French and Spanish and lives in Charleston, South Carolina.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>

The collection contains photographs, newspaper clippings, correspondence, and other records related to the family and their achievements.

�What is the Southern Federation
and the Southern Federation Foundation?
The Southern Federation is an organization of heritage and culture. Its members are Syrian-Lebanese Americans who promote American citizenship and
foster American ideals in all their activities. It is comprised of over 4,000 members
in 49 cities who gather semi-annually in a city within its 16 state territory, to pursue
and foster good will among the members.
When the Southern Federation of Syrian-Lebanese American Clubs was organized, its purpose was to devote itself to maintaining traditional fellowship, to
encourage local and regional educational, civic and charitable projects, and to
contribute to charitable causes without regard to race or creed.
The Southern Federation Foundation, Inc. is the charitable arm of the Southern
Federation. It is a non-profit organization chartered under the laws of the State of
Texas. The Foundation is a Section 501(C)(3) approved Internal Revenue Service entity, thereby allowing all contributions to the Foundation to be fully tax
deductible.
The Federation's purpose is to use its income and principal for literary and
charitable purposes which includes the Kahlil Gibran Scholarship program and
such other projects which may come into being.
Monies contributed to the Foundation are earmarked for distribution to three
main sources: the Scholarship Fund, the Charity Fund or the Cultural Fund.
These three sources are detailed elsewhere in this brochure. A list of the contributors to each is herein provided.
Acknowledgement for contributions made to any fund within the Foundation
will appear in the annual Foundation booklet. Donations by individuals or organizations may be made to an existing fund, to establish a specific fund (either annual
or endowment), or for special designated projects.
Contributions to annual funds willbe available for use in the fiscalyear in which
they are made. Permanent or Endowment Funds willuse only the interest accrued
for the stated purpose. Such can be accumulated to produce a permanent fund for
a specific purpose, or to achieve a desired level of total contributions in an existing
permanent fund or endowment.
The following classifications have been established and apply to all funds within
the Foundation:

�The Scholarship Program
Since the inception of the Scholarship Program in 1949, over 700 scholarships,
totaling in excess of $400,000.00 have been given in the interest of higher
education. In the beginning, $1. 00 from each Southern Federation convention
registration was directed for the Scholarship Fund and the Scholarship Committee
worked to raise the additional funds needed. These monies have been donated by
the Southern Federation's affiliated clubs, individual members and the Federation
itself. In addition, scholarships are solicited from and given by non Federation
members interested in education and in our ethnic organization.
Scholarships are made available to worthy students seeking higher education.
Applications are reviewed, approved and awarded at the sole discretion of the
Scholarship Director and Scholarship Committee. Past recipients have returned
to serve the organization in various capacities including that of President. They
have serviced society in the fields of law, medicine and business.
In 1983, the Scholarship Committee began hosting a reception at the Federation's Annual Convention for all students applying for scholarships and for the
donors who make these scholarships possible.

A "One Time Scholarship" requires a minimum $250. 00 donation. The donation bears the name of whomever the donor wishes and is presented in the year
received. It is awarded under the guidelines of either the Scholarship Fund or the
Gift for Knowledge Fund whichever is specified by the donor.
A "Perpetual Scholarship" is one where the contribution is invested in an
interest bearing account. This individual endowment account remains intact and
only the accrued interest is used. The scholarship is given under the guidelines of
the Scholarship Fund or the Gift for Knowledge Fund again as specified by the
donor. The scholarship bears the name of whomever the donor wishes, year after
year, without the need for further contribution. This gift keeps on giving.

�Charity Fund Contributors
June 1994 Through May 1995
The Charity Program
During the past 20 years, over $115,000 has been contributed to numerous
charities. This has greatly enhanced the success of the Charity Program. Funds
have been donated to hospitals, orphanages, bum centers, epileptic centers and
other health and welfare projects. In addition, a policy was instituted whereby a
contribution is made to a local charity in the city where the Southern Federation
hosts its annual convention. This policy was established in 1987 when the
convention was held in San Antonio, Texas.
Under the guidance of the Charity Director, the Charity Committee reviews
charitable causes to determine the extent of financial assistance to be given. The
decision is at the discretion of the Director and Committee. They are generally
made aware of worthy causes through committee members or members of the
Southern Federation.
Donations to the Charity Fund may be given to celebrate the occasion of a
.birthday or anniversary as well as in memory of relatives or friends. Contributions
may also be made directly to specific projects established by the Charity Committee.
Over the years, contributions have been made by the Southern Federation's
affiliated clubs, individual members and the Federation itself.Donations have also
been given by non-Federation members interested in the projects undertaken by
the Committee.

Historical Review Film
The Southern Federation of Syrian Lebanese American Clubs
The Cultural Program
The Cultural Program consists of various projects established by the Committee
which, to date, have been primarily for historical documentation. Over $70,000
have been donated to these projects.
One project was the production of a film which highlighted the accomplishments of Syrian Lebanese Americans who had immigrated to the Southern
portion of the United States. The film reflected that their. contributions had an
important impact on the development of the South.
The Barker History Center located at the University of Texasat Austin, has been
designated to preserve the archival materials belonging to the Syrian Lebanese
Americans. This project should facilitate the development of an appropriate
exhibit of historical items for use by the Foundation and Federation.
�Thanks to Donors of the Cultural
Committee Special Fund
The Cultural Committee wishes to thank the following donors
who made monetary and other contributions to the Cultural
Committee special fund of the Southern Federation Foundation:
-

Kathleen Balletto of Warner Robbins, Georgia in Memory of
Past President Charles K. Shaheen.
- L.C.M Hamway of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
TheSyrian American Ladies Club of El Paso, Texas.
- Pete Thomas of Glendale, California.
- John Darcy of Brooklyn, New York for his contribution of

- Joe Audi of the Audi Bank for his contribution of books.

- Mary and Tony Akery, donated by their daughters, Ruth

We sincerely appreciate the contributions of the above members who share a kindred desire to keep alive the Cultural
aspects of our Federation. It is contributions such as these that
will continue the work of the Cultural Committee.

Description
An account of the resource
These materials were provided by Marsha El-Khouri Shiver and primarily relate to the life of her father, Joseph Maroun El-Khouri, and his family in Lebanon and in the United States. <br />
<h5>Biography</h5>
Joseph Maroun El-Khouri was born in 1924 in Kour, Batroun, Lebanon and Mariam Thomee Yazbek El-Khouri, one of seven children. His father, Reverend Joseph Michael Maroun El-Khouri was a Maronite priest, and at least one sibling, Sister Victorine El-Khouri, followed his example and joined religious orders. <br /><br />Joseph served as an intelligence agent and interpreter for Great Britain during World War II. In 1949, Joseph travelled to Minneapolis, Minnesota to help settle an uncle’s estate. Initially Joseph had no intention of immigrating permanently to the United States, but soon after he arrived he met and fell in love with Rose Isaac while visiting relatives who lived in the large Lebanese community located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Rose was the daughter of Thanios (Thomas) Isaac and Moura (Nora) Lawandos Isaac, who immigrated to the United States in 1912 and 1914, respectively, and were married in 1917. Thanios Isaac supported his wife and five children by working various laboring jobs, including for the railroad and a local wiremill. Thanios Isaac passed away in 1939. <br /><br />Joseph and Rose married in Rose’s hometown in 1950, and moved to Minneapolis where they operated a grocery store until 1953. Joseph was naturalized in 1954 with the help of his friend Vice President Hubert Humphrey, at the time a Minnesota senator. In 1955, Joseph and Rose moved to Andrews, North Carolina, to be closer to Rose’s sister Bessie Isaac Jabaley, who was living near her husband’s family in Copper Hill, TN. The Jabaley’s helped the growing El-Khouri family establish themselves in their new home by making Joseph the manager of their department store, Jabaley’s, which Joseph purchased and renamed to Khouri’s in 1965. The store remained open until 1989. <br /><br />Joseph quickly established himself as a prominent civic leader in North Carolina. He served on a number of boards and service organizations including: the Andrews Lion Club, Western Carolina University Board of Visitors, Cherokee County United Way, the Andrews Chamber of Commerce, and the Daniel Boone Council of Boy Scouts. Joseph was a devoted Democrat, even serving, with his eldest son George, as an elected delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. In addition to these civic and political accomplishments, Joseph and Rose were pillars of the Catholic community in North Carolina, holding the town’s first Catholic masses in their own home, and donating the land upon which the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church was built in Andrews, North Carolina. <br /><br />Joseph and Rose had seven children: George Maron El-Khouri, Theresa El-Khouri Martin, Mariam El-Khouri Gerber, Marsha El-Khouri Shiver, Barbara El-Khouri, Catherine El-Khouri, and Anthony El-Khouri. Joseph passed away on July 22, 2012; at the time of collection acquisition (2012), Rose El-Khouri was still living. Since his passing, Joseph El-Khouri’s contributions to North Carolina have been recognized locally, and his legacy has been carried forth by his children and grandchildren.<br />
