An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>

Her parents returned to Lebanon when she was a child; she attended a French school in Tripoli.</p>
<p>Moussa Domit and Yvette Baini married on February 11, 1960, an the following year moved to Columbus so that Moussa could attend college. Moussa earned a BA in History of Art at Ohio State University in 1962 and an MA in Art History at Southern Connecticut State College in 1967. The became an American citizen the same year. During this period, the couple had four children, Maggie, Majed, Mark, and Matthew.</p>

In 1972, Moussa became Director of the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina, a position he held until 1981. In this position, Domit developed the museum's collection, providing exhibit space for international and multicultural artists and historic art pieces. He led the campaign to move the museum away from its original location in downtown Raleigh to a new facility on Blue Ridge Road. In 1981, the Domit family left Raleigh for Memphis, where Moussa took a position as Director of the Dixon Gallery and Gardens before moving to the Appleton Art Museum in Ocala, Florida, in 1986. Towards the end of his life, Domit spent time in Lebanon, where he worked to restore his family’s summer home. Moussa Domit passed away in 2005.</p>

JOSEPH AND ROSE ISAAC
EL-KHOURI
221
Joe (as everyone calls him) the sixth of
seven children of Rev. Marvin and Mariam EIKhouri was born in Kour. Batroun . the
Republic of Lebanon on May 28. 1924. His
father was a carpenter and builder and later
became a priest. His mother passed away
when he was 3V2 years old.
In 1949 Joe was asked to go to America as
an attorney-in-fact for the estate of an uncle
who lived in Minneapolis. Minnesota. and
represent the family members who were still in
Lebanon. He arrived in New York in October of
that year on a Sunday. Since offices are closed
on weekends. Joe had to stay one night on Ellis
Island and on Monday his papers were
processed .
When Joe arrived in the U.S., he had no
plans to stay in this country. His plans were to
return to Lebanon upon completion of his
Rose and Joe EI-KhourL
bUSiness. but that was not the case . He did not
realize that settling an estate would take years
and not months. He decided to return to
Wilkes-Barre whenever he could and court
Rose to whom he was attracted . They
corresponded by mail and phone and were
married on June 28. 1950. in Wilkes-Barre.
Between Joe's arrival in the U.S. and his
marriage to Rose he became good friends with
the then Senator of Minnesota, Hubert H.
Humphrey who helped him bring the deceased
uncle's family over from Lebanon which the
uncle for years had tried to do. Two of the
sons. 11 and 15. arrived two days before Joe's
wedding and they were in his and Rose's care
until their mother and younger brother arrived
1V, years later.

trained so that when they were old enough and
ready they would take it over as was their
father's wish .
During the five years in the business , Joe
and Rose had three children: George, born
June 20 , 1951, Theresa, September 25 , 1952,
and Mariam, February 3, 1954. Also during
that time , Joe attended night classes to study
for his American citizenship. He received his
naturalization papers on November 11 , 1954,
at St. Paul , Minnesota.
The grocery business was turned over to the
two boys in the summer of 1955. While Joe
was looking for a business of his own he
received a call from the Jabaleys of Copperhill ,
Tennessee, to come south . They would set
him up in business as a partner. Rose's
mother was living there, also two brothers and
a sister of which one brother and her sister
were married to two of the Jabaley children.
Joe and Rose moved to Andrews in September
1955 and went into business in October with
the Jabaleys who had bought the Whitaker
Brothers Clothing Store.
On March 9, 1956, Rose gave birth to their
fourth child, Marsha, who was born in the
Rodda-Van Gorder Clinic which was over
Nichols Department Store. Th en came
Barbara, May 15, 1957, Anthony , July 1,
1959, and last Catherine , May 9, 1961, all
born at District Memorial Hospital.
Joe remained a Jabaley partner until 1965
when he bought them out and changed the
name to Khouri's Family Department Store. All
the children later helped in the business .
The EI-Khouri's being Catholic and finding
no Catholic church in Andrews attended St.
Williams Church in Murphy until one was built
in 1962. The first services (The Mass) were
held on Easter of 1963. The members grew
from the EI-Khouri family to 80 at the present.
Before the church was built, services were
held in the Midnight Electric Building and
basement of the Old Town Library. Theresa
became the church organist at the age of 13
and remained so for 20 years .
The EI-Khouri children attended Andrews Elementary School and graduated from Andrews
High. All were honor students and members of
the Beta Club . George, Anthony and Catherine
were band members and all were involved in
school affairs. George was in scouting and
attained Eagle Scout.
Joe became involved with many church,
civic, and community affa irs and his
democratic party and made a·name and place
for himself.
George is a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill. He
married Barbara Guffy of Marble on July 25 ,
1971. He worked at the Justice Academy in
Salemburg and then became Field Representative for the Police Information Network in

El-Khouri Family
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 />
<h5>Scope and Content</h5>
The collection consists of photographs, letters, documents, and articles relating to the life of Joseph Maroun El-Khouri, his wife Rose Isaac El-Khouri, and his children. The material details Joseph's career and community contributions as well as providing insight into multiple generations of Lebanese-American family life.<br /><br />The collection also contains photographs and letters relating to Joseph El-Khouri’s relatives in Lebanon, as well as materials from Rose Isaac El-Khouri’s family in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
