Title
A name given to the resource
Alex Daye and Maronite Patriarchate Letters
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical note</h4>
<p>Alex Daye (As'ad al-Dayyeh) immigrated in 1889 from Tripoli, Lebanon. From the 1900s-1930s, he resided in Winston-Salem, NC with his wife, Farida (Ridda), and son, Louis. Alex was the proprietor of A. Daye & Co., a wholesale and retail store on Liberty Street which primarily sold ladies ready-to-wear clothes, novelties, and art goods along with dry goods and furnishings. The store also hosted a millinery.</p>
<p>Although Alex was the proprietor of A. Daye & Co., the business included Assad, Salim, and Chas Daye, presumed relatives. Salim immigrated in 1891 and his brother, Annis (also spelled as Annies and Anise), immigrated in 1896. Annies worked for A. Daye & Co. until the 1910s, when he opened a confectionary and fruit business on Liberty Street called The Sweet Shop. Around 1921, Alex was left with A. Daye & Co., the others having gone into candymaking, ice cream, and confectionary at various other businesses.</p>
<h4>Scope/Contents Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains letters sent from Alex Daye (Dayyeh) in North Carolina to the Maronite Patriarchate in Lebanon, dated May-June 1921. The letters were written in response to a call from the Maronite Patriarchate in Lebanon to enumerate Lebanese immigration around the world. Daye wrote about the immigrant communities in three North Carolina cities: Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Burlington. He includes names, place of origin, and date of immigration. </p>
<p>Materials include scans of the original letters in Arabic as well as an English-language translation of the documents.</p>

Saleeby Family Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Labibee Courie and Rasheed Saleeby, inspired by relatives and hoping to save their sons from service in the Army of the Ottoman Empire, planned to gradually move their family to North Carolina from Souk el Gharb, Syria (modern-day Lebanon) in the early twentieth century. Their eldest son, Gibran (G.R.) moved to North Carolina, planning to establish a family business. After Rasheed's sudden death in 1912, the family abandoned their plan of gradual immigration and left Souk el Gharb to join G.R. In December 1912, Nasry Rasheed “Charlie” Saleeby arrived in the United States with his mother, Labibee Khoury Saleeby, and younger siblings Michael, John, Elijah, George, and Mary. The Saleeby family purchased a house in Wilson, North Carolina and started a candy shop and soda fountain located on Nash Street. Their brother G.R. lived in Goldsboro, where he had married and established a family. He later moved his family to Wilson to join his siblings in their business ventures. They operated a wholesale business called G.R. Saleeby and Bros. </p>
<p>John Rasheed (Richard) Saleeby (February 15, 1896-June 16, 1969) worked at this family business for years until starting a wholesale business that specialized in shipping, with particular emphasis on bananas. In 1925, John returned to Lebanon, where he met and married Helen Massaad. Helen left her mother and brother Elias to immigrate to Wilson, North Carolina. Family members remember Helen as an excellent cook and a lifelong lover of music who sang in the church choir for 59 years. John and Helen had eight children: Frederick John; George John; Wade Samir; Laurence; Mitchell; Ralph; Claudette; and Shirley. During World War II, their four eldest sons served in the United States Armed Services. Frederick John Saleeby (1926-2013) served in the Pacific, where he witnessed the official Japanese surrender. He was a first lieutenant during the Korean War and retired from the Army Reserve as a captain. Frederick married Eileen Patricia "Pat" McKenna, with whom he had five children, in 1951. Wade Samir Saleeby, Sr. (1929-2003), served in the Army from 1946 until his honorable discharge in 1952. He served in the Honor Guard for General Dwight D. Eisenhower and married Kathleen Berry, with whom he had seven children, in 1956. Their youngest daughter, Shirley Libbie Saleeby, married Michael Richard Willett on August 7, 1971. The couple had two children, Nathan and Evan. </p>

<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Labibee Courie and Rasheed Saleeby, inspired by relatives and hoping to save their sons from service in the Army of the Ottoman Empire, planned to gradually move their family to North Carolina from Souk el Gharb, Syria (modern-day Lebanon) in the early twentieth century. Their eldest son, Gibran (G.R.) moved to North Carolina, planning to establish a family business. After Rasheed's sudden death in 1912, the family abandoned their plan of gradual immigration and left Souk el Gharb to join G.R. In December 1912, Nasry Rasheed “Charlie” Saleeby arrived in the United States with his mother, Labibee Khoury Saleeby, and younger siblings Michael, John, Elijah, George, and Mary. The Saleeby family purchased a house in Wilson, North Carolina and started a candy shop and soda fountain located on Nash Street. Their brother G.R. lived in Goldsboro, where he had married and established a family. He later moved his family to Wilson to join his siblings in their business ventures. They operated a wholesale business called G.R. Saleeby and Bros. </p>
<p>John Rasheed (Richard) Saleeby (February 15, 1896-June 16, 1969) worked at this family business for years until starting a wholesale business that specialized in shipping, with particular emphasis on bananas. In 1925, John returned to Lebanon, where he met and married Helen Massaad. Helen left her mother and brother Elias to immigrate to Wilson, North Carolina. Family members remember Helen as an excellent cook and a lifelong lover of music who sang in the church choir for 59 years. John and Helen had eight children: Frederick John; George John; Wade Samir; Laurence; Mitchell; Ralph; Claudette; and Shirley. During World War II, their four eldest sons served in the United States Armed Services. Frederick John Saleeby (1926-2013) served in the Pacific, where he witnessed the official Japanese surrender. He was a first lieutenant during the Korean War and retired from the Army Reserve as a captain. Frederick married Eileen Patricia "Pat" McKenna, with whom he had five children, in 1951. Wade Samir Saleeby, Sr. (1929-2003), served in the Army from 1946 until his honorable discharge in 1952. He served in the Honor Guard for General Dwight D. Eisenhower and married Kathleen Berry, with whom he had seven children, in 1956. Their youngest daughter, Shirley Libbie Saleeby, married Michael Richard Willett on August 7, 1971. The couple had two children, Nathan and Evan. </p>
