I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. EMANEC_150602_01.JPG: Adele Goodman Clark: Adele Goodman Clark fought tirelessly to champion both women's rights and the arts in Virginia. Clark gained prominence for pro-suffrage speeches and writings as a founding member in 1909 of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. She used her artwork to entice attendants to League events and took leadership roles in national suffrage organizations. In 1916, she and fellow Richmond artist Nora Houston established the Atellier, a training ground for a generation of Virginia artists. Clark promoted both causes throughout her life, epitomizing the vital role of women in 20th-century social reform movements. She is buried nearby at Emmanuel Episcopal Church cemetery. Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill Episcopal: Built directly west by John Stewart of Brook Hill and consecrated by the Right Reverend John Johns on 6 July 1860, Emmanuel Church (Episcopal) is a classic example of late-antebellum Gothic Revival architecture. Considerable military activity took place nearby during the Civil War, when troops from both sides occupied the church. Wounded soldiers were treated there, and many Confederate soldiers lie buried in the cemetery. The Right Reverend Richard Hooker Wilmer, second bishop of Alabama and the only bishop ordained by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America, was Emmanuel Church's first rector.

Wikipedia Description: Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill, in the historic community of Brook Hill in Henrico County, Virginia, is a historic church.

History

Brothers John and Daniel Kerr Stewart, both born on the Island of Bute in Scotland, emigrated and established a farm at Brook Hill. Although they had been members of Monumental Church and then St. Paul's Church, both in downtown Richmond, Virginia, their property was on the city's outskirts. Between 1859 and 1860, they supported creation of a new parish near their farm, which was organized in 1860. Bishop John Johns consecrated the building on July 6, 1860. The first rector was Rev. Richard Hooker Wilmer, a friend of John Stewart and future Confederate Bishop, elected to the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama in 1862.

During the American Civil War, troops often traveled on Brook Road, almost in front of this church, and both armies at various times occupied the building, often using it as a hospital. The early Brook turnpike between Richmond and Dabney Williamson's Tavern became a major thoroughfare during the American Revolution. Nearby Virginia historical markers describe Sheridan's maneuvers in 1864, Richmond's outer defenses on the road, and the renaming of the entire road between Petersburg and Alexandria Virginia as Jefferson Davis Highway between 1913 and 1947.

The church built a school in 1910, and a parish hall in the 1950s. The parish has also been known for its social activism. John Stewart's daughter Marian, who married George William Peterkin (who became the first Bishop of West Virginia), wrote about its mottos: "God is with us" and "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much". Immediately in front of the church, in addition to a historic marker concerning the church, is a marker commemorating artist and suffragette Adele Goodman Clark.

Architecture

The church and church school (built in 1910), as well as the cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Rhode Island architect Clifton A. Hall designed the church.

Richard Hooker Wilmer, the only bishop to be consecrated by the Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America, is buried in the church cemetery, as are many Confederate soldiers. Virginia bishop William Cabell Brown (1861-1927) is also buried in the churchyard.
