New Endowment Honors
J.W. “Jack” Newberry
In This Issue
A pioneer farmer and esteemed member of the community, Newberry received
numerous awards for varieties of apples, peaches, corn and pecans that he de-veloped,
including peaches that measured 11.5 inches in diameter. Born near
Greenville, Tennessee, he came to New Mexico in the early 1900s and recognized
the potential of the new Elephant Butte dam for irrigation. With his wife, Rachel
Ellen Simpson, Newberry moved to a farm in Fairacres.
Library Improves
Interlibrary Loan
The Library has good news for users
of interlibrary loan. A new system was
installed in June to better manage in-terlibrary
loan service. According to
Jivonna Stewart, the head of the
Library’s Information Delivery Services
unit, the new OCLC ILLiad software
streamlines registration and makes the
loaning process faster.
Users register by entering their NMSU
IDs and passwords. ILLiad creates a
stronger network between Library da-tabases
and other research databases.
For example, if you enter ILLiad
through the OCLC WorldCat, biblio-graphical
information for the item is
automatically entered in the request
form for you.
Through its aptly named “Odyssey”
component, ILLiad also improves elec-tronic
delivery of materials from other
libraries. For more information, please
visit the Library’s ILLiad web site at

Drove the mules to his
farm by moonlight
Newberry worked with Dr. Juan Garcia of New Mexico State University, who was
very interested in Newberry’s development of pecans in this area. He exhibited
another of his varieties, Mexican June corn, at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1933/
1934. Some of Mr. Newberry's papers are in the Library’s Rio Grande Historical
Collections.
Newberry purchased a team of mules
from the U.S. Army in Columbus, New
Mexico, just following Pancho Villa’s
raid, and drove them to his farm by
moonlight with no roads to assist him.
A descendant of Mesilla Valley pioneers and the son of a member of the first
graduating class of New Mexico State University, Bennett loved the history of
southern New Mexico and its families and great individuals. The endowment will
be used to support the preservation, processing and promotion of collections
pertaining to the extended family of Donald Casad Bennett and Jari Bennett Grimm,
namely the Casad, Bennett, Lane and Mandell families.
Bennett Endowment Created
In May 2005, Jari Bennett Grimm estab-lished
a Library endowment in honor of
her father, Donald Casad Bennett. The
endowment is called the Donald Casad
Bennett Endowment for Mesilla Valley
Collections in the Rio Grande Historical
Collections of the New Mexico State
University Library. Bennett, 1910-
1984, was a cotton farmer, pilot and be-loved
father.
