A name given to the resource
Farris and Parker Family Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Dorothy Findlen descends from Samuel [Samir] “Sam” Abdo Parker (1890-1954) and Helen Kelly Parker (1891-1985). Helen immigrated to the United States from Syria in 1901 and Sam in 1905. They married in 1912 and had five children: Alma, Louis, Agnes, Lillian, and Magdalen.</p>
<p>Sam and Helen first worked in the produce industry in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, before moving to ELizabethtown, North Carolina in 1931. In Elizabethtown, the couple opened a department store. Sam and Helen also helped establish the first Catholic Church in Bladen County. For a decade, Sam and Helen hosted Mass, led by Father Henry Vosh of Newton Grove, within their own home. Land for a church was anonymously donated in 1931, and fundraising for its construction lasted for an additional decade. Helen Parker organized a fundraiser to purchase stained-glass windows for the church. The church, called Our Lady of the Snows, was dedicated on November 30, 1941.</p>
<p>Alma Parker attended Sacred Heart College (now part of Belmont Abbey College) in Belmont, North Carolina, where she studied business. Alma was a charter member of the Gray Moss Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association in Elizabethtown. Magdalen Parker attended the College of Notre Dame in Baltimore, Maryland, and became a teacher. Louis Francis Parker helped establish Bladen Community College and served on its Board of Trustees. The college offers three scholarships in the names of Parker family members: the Alma Parker Farris Scholarship for Business, which Alma established to encourage young women to study business; the Louis & Louise Parker Scholarship; and the Sam & Helen Kelly Parker Scholarship, established by Agnes Parker Najam to honor her parents’ love of education.</p>
<p>Alma Parker took over proprietorship of the family department store. She married Shikralla Doumit Farris (1910-1964) in December 1941. Shikralla graduated from the American University of Beirut who immigrated to the United States in 1937. His parents immigrated to Lawrence, Massachusetts. Alma and Shikralla ran the department store together and renamed it the Farris Department Store. Under their ownership, the store shifted away from dry goods to focus on clothing sales. When Shikralla passed away in 1964, Alma continued to run the store until her retirement in January 2007. She died in 2019. Alma and Shikralla had three daughters, Kathryn, Anne, and Dorothy.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains official documents, newspaper articles, and photographs related to two generations of the Parker and Farris families. Included are naturalization documents, birth and death certificates, obituaries, family photographs, and articles detailing the accomplishments of family members. The collection reminiscences of Alma written by her grandchildren, which are available only upon request.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Safy Family Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>In 1894, George Joseph Safy immigrated to the United States at 26 years of age; he lived in New York City for nine years, and was naturalized in 1903. In 1907, he returned to Lebanon, before coming back to the US with his wife Susie (Soosan) Safy. The couple arrived in New York on August 21, 1907, on the ship the S.S. Majestic. By 1910, the couple had settled in Mullins, South Carolina, and became successful in the town's business scene. George Joseph Safy was a member of the Macedonian Methodist Church and the local Masonic Lodge. In the 1920s, they moved north to Weldon, North Carolina. The couple had five children: Sophie Mae Safy Rabil (1909-1987), Alice Eugene Safy Lewis (1914-1977), Sue Olga Safy (1916-1937), George Joseph Safy (1921-1944), and George Victor Safy (1924-1977). They also had four children who died in infancy: Alice (1910-1911) Joseph (1912-1912), Kafa (1917-1917), and Eveline (1918-1918).</p>
<p>George Joseph Safy suffered a heart attack and passed away on July, 18, 1924. He was buried in Mullins, South Carolina at his request. In 1926, Susie remarried to Betrus Dahar (B.D.) Rabil. The Safy children appear to have spent time in the Epworth Orphanage in Columbia, South Carolina, where they are listed in the 1930 census. The children rejoined their mother and stepfather in North Carolina by the late 1930s. </p>
<p>In 1937, Sue Olga died from complications with acute appendicitis while she lived in Rocky Mount and worked as a sales associate. Both George Victor and George Joseph served in World War II. George Joseph was killed in action when his plane was shot down over Germany on September 9, 1944. He is buried in the Lorraine American Cemetery in France. <span>Sophie Mae married Albert Rabil, B.D.'s son from his first marriage to Beula Davis Striman, and had two children: Albert Rabil, Jr., and Carolyn Joan Rabil. Alice Eugene attended Winthrop College in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and taught at the Lincoln School in Kingsport, Tennessee. In 1946, she married Frank Milton Lewis. George Victor married Agnes Harper Ellen in 1951.</span></p>
<p>Susie Safy and B.D. Rabil had two additional children together, Virginia Dell Rabil Mansour (b. 1927) and Betrus Dahar Rabil, Jr (1929-2004). B.D. Rabil, Sr., passed away in 1964; Susie passed away in 1969. Sophie Mae Safy Rabil and Albert Rabil, Sr., brought a lawsuit against Virginia Dell Rabil Mansour and B.D. Rabil, Jr. over which of two wills should be given priority: a joint will created by B.D. Rabil, Sr., and Susie Safy Rabil, or a subsequent will made by Susie Safy Rabil following the death of her second husband. The case was settled in 1970 by the North Carolina Supreme Court, which upheld the bequeathal of B.D. Rabil, Sr.’s real estate and personal property to his two youngest children, Virginia Mansour and B.D. Rabil, Jr.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains documents and photographs pertaining to the lives of the Rabil and Safy families, including obituaries, family photographs, and legal documents.</p>
