"I believe my purpose in life
was to help friends cope with a
bad moment — to brighten yotir
day with my silliness, boundless
charm and imcarmy wit — if I
ever made you laugh or smile,
that was no accident, I always
tried to make everyone a little
happier, often at my own ex
pense, and if I did it for you, I
was successful."
He left this life with some
other notes:" I voted for a Demo
crat twice, and I think it's time
to apologize ... I loved the arts,
but I'm really thankful I never
had to go to an opera... Went to
a ballet once, thought I'd never
fall asleep."

Peter W.Hairston
Peler W. Hairston, 93, the fonner Superior Court judge and mem
ber of the N.C. 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. Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension
in the Fork community of Davie County, a parish his family helped
establish near Cooleemee Plantation with Rev. Sealy Cross officiat
ing. Interment will follow in the church columbarium.
