the opportunity to reflect upon ourselves and upon the people who have contributed so much toward making Rappahannock a community that, once found, can never be left.
The fortuitous convergence of the right people in the right place at the right time has made Rappahannock a unique and superlative place to live. The settling of the Fletchers here in the mid-Eighteenth century, from Georgia some say, began the process of community-building that cohtinues today, and that is reflected in the contributions of their descendants in this century.
The Fletcher family has contributed time, money, energy and good will to the well-being of RappahMtttek ana its residents. The Fletchers have stood out through the Twentieth Century for their good works, kind words, and stature in the community and in Virginia, and arflh the Rappahannock News ‘Citizens or the Century.’
Noteworthy amongst the Fletchers are three family members who made lasting contributions and who will be remembered: William Meade Fletcher, his wife Martha Ball Buckner “Mattie Ball” Fletcher, and their son, James William “Jim Bill” Fletcher.
