"Jack Whitmire never ran out of tall tales to relate to his
grandchildren. He told many stories
about his ancestors and of life as it used to be in the mountains. One night a panther was accidentally driven
in with the sheep, and he often told the story of the exciting time. Like most of his neighbors Jack was a farmer
and for many years he hand split white oak logs and made or repaired split
bottom chairs. He trimmed down the
white oak strips using only his pocketknife until they were finely
dressed. One of his prized possessions
was an old Victrola which he protected with a sheet tied with a ribbon. He did not allow youngsters to play the
Victrola, but he loved music and would willingly play the old hymns and country
records such as those recorded by the Carter family. He was a member of Old Toxaway Baptist Church for 62 years and
was buried in the Whitmire family cemetery at Quebec. In his honor a reunion is held at the Quebec Community Center on
the last Sunday of August each year, and hundreds of his descendants attend."
