General Assembly, died Sunday, Feb. 4,2007 at his ancestral home,CdoIeeinee Plantation, on the Yadlcin River in Davie County. Mr. Hairston was bom Aug. 2,1913, at Cooleemee Plantation, a son of Peter Wilson Hairston and Elmer George Hairston, and lived there most of his life. In 1949, he married Lucy Dotteh in Washing ton, D.C., and they moved to Cooleemee. Mrs. Hairston preceded him in death in 1998. Judge Hairston lived a life of service to his nation, state and com munity. Among the highlights of his public service are three terms in the N.C. House of Representatives and appointment by Gov. James B. Hunt and subsequent election as a Superior Cdurt Judge. He was a decorated veteran. He fought in Europe in World War U, leaving the U.S. Army in 1946 as a captain with the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and five Battle Stars. Mr. Hairston received his early educa tion at home through the Calvert School method. He later attended Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Va., graduating in 1930 with scholarship medals from his junior and senior years. In 1933, he received the A3, degree from the University of North Carolina, where he was Phi Beta Kappa, and in 193S, the LI.3. degree fiom . the University's Law School, where he was on the board of the Law Review. One of Mr. Hairston's fondest memories of Chapel Hill was being greeted as a fiteshman by Dr. Frank Porter Graham, who helped cany his trunk to his dormitory room. He was admitted to the North Carolina Bar in 193S, and in the years just prior to and after the war, he practiced law and was with a major insurance company in Charlotte and later in Washington. In 1948, Mr. Hairston returned to Cooleemee to assume responsibili ties of managing the plantation. He devoted die next six years to restoring the house, which is designated a National Historic Land mark, and to beginning to bring back the land to its earlier produc tivity. To conserve the property for posterity. Judge Hairston in 1996 placed Cooleemee Plantation in the Land Trust for Central North Carolina, making it one of the largest agricultural properties under land trust protection in North Carolina. In 19S4,heestablishedalawpracdce in the county seat ofMocks- ville and maintained it until being appointed to the bench in 1977. A lifelong Democrat, Mr. Hairston was respected as a principled citi zen who related to farmers and working people and was their advo cate. He supported candidates of his party who held what he consid ered progressive views, such as former Congressman and guberna torial candidate L. Richardson Preyer. With Mrs. Hairston, he trav eled throughout much of the world, including several trips to Scot land, where he visited the region where his ancestors lived, and to Morocco and the Afiican subcontinent, to .China and the then-So viet Union, and across Europe. Wherever and however he and Lucy traveled - by barge down the canals in France or on safari in Kenya, they made friends whom they invited to Cooleemee and entertained there. But Judge Hairston was just as comfortable driving a tractor on hayrides to entertain guests at the Forest Lake Campground he and Lucy established on part of the family farm in 1968. Judge Hairston was a voracious reader, a keen observer of cur rent affairs, and a devotee of classical music. He was particularly fond of the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan, from which he derived great enjoyment. He was a gracious and entertaining host and no tables from the political, educational, literary and entertainment worids found their way to his table. Each Wednesday night for the last decade, he presided over dinner at Cooleemee for a small group of devoted friends, prompting lively discussion and providing in sights and wise counsel. Alwaysascholar and conscientious historian.Mr.Hairston wrote articles for historical journals, magazines and newspapers, and sec tions of other books. Much of his writing was about Cooleemee and other plantations that had been owned by members of the Hairston family. When descendants of former slaves at Cboleemee established the Hairston Clan, Judge Hairston was one oftheir strongest advo cates. For many years, he attended the annual meetings of the Hairston Clan and on occasion was the keynote speaker. He spent countless hours compiling genealogical records which he shared with Hairston Clan members. The Hairston Clan honored both him and Lucy for their contributions to humankind. Survivors: 2 sons, Peter W. Hairston, who has followed in his father's path at Cooleemee, and George R. Hairston of Winston- Salem, whose woodworking has been integral to the restoration of the home place; a brother. Nelson Hairston of Chapel Hill; a grand daughter, and 2 grandsons. The family will receive people at the home on I^day, Feb. 9 from 5-7 pro. A memorial service for Judge Hairston will be held at 11 aro.
