Lillie Fearnow
Lillie Pearl Hovermale Fearnow (August 19, 1881 – March 6, 1970) was an American canning entrepreneur known for creating Mrs. Fearnow's Brunswick Stew. Connoisseur magazine named the stew one of the 10 worthiest canned treats in America in 1988. Fearnow's stew was a popular meal to serve for guests arriving from out of state because unreliable transportation meant cooking something that would stay warm until they arrived. She was frequently canning fruits and vegetables and winning awards at county and state fairs, winning over 40 State Fair ribbons. She began to make Brunswick stew using chicken and home grown vegetables and selling it on consignment at the Women's Exchange in Richmond. The family handled all the processing including killing and dressing the chickens and growing and picking the vegetables. Her stew sold well locally, with demand to stock it at local department stores, and she began cooking more of it in batches at home with the help of her daughters-in-law, F ...

Brunswick Stew
Brunswick stew is a tomato-based stew generally involving local beans, vegetables, and originally small game meat such as squirrel or rabbit, though today often chicken. The exact origin of the stew is disputed. The states of Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia all claim its birth, with Brunswick County in Virginia and the city of Brunswick in Georgia both claiming it was developed there. It may have originated earlier in some form in the city of Braunschweig (English: ''Brunswick'') in the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg in today's northern Germany. Ingredients Recipes for Brunswick stew vary greatly, but it is usually a tomato-based stew, containing various types of lima beans (butter beans), corn, okra, and other vegetables, and one or more types of meat. Originally it was small game such as squirrel, rabbit or possum meat, but chicken is most common today. Eastern North Carolina Brunswick Stew has potatoes, which thicken it considerably.

Hanover County, Virginia

Hanover County is a part of the Greater Richmond Region. History Located in the western Tidewater region of Virginia, Hanover County was created on November 26, 1719, from the area of New Kent County called St. Peter's Parish.

People From Bath (Berkeley Springs), West Virginia
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
