William Odell Spain was born October 7, 1931, in Hobucken located on Goose Creek Island in Pamlico County, North Carolina.  He is the son of Charles and Annie Emory Spain.  He is a lifelong fisherman, a renowned musician, active in the church and community, and a born storyteller.
    Cap’n Dell, as his friends call him, is also a keeper of the past.  From an early age he enjoyed sitting among the “old folks” listening to them tell their stories.  Later he would visit the older folks, learning about their families and about a way of life that has since vanished.  Odell stated, “I just feel there is a great need to preserve our rich heritage here on Goose Creek Island and to give our future generations a look back into the past.”
    In addition to listening to the stories, he also went in search of the places where these unrecorded, historical events took place, along with visiting old home sites and cemeteries in and around Goose Creek Island.  In some areas, he had to chop a path through the brush and vines to find the site.
    Using his unique storytelling gift, Odell has captured and preserved this oral history along with his research findings in the form of stories.  These stories are true accounts about people, places and events he was told about as a child and as an adult concerning things that happened before he was born.   It is the retelling of these stories handed down from one generation to another that brings the past to life.
    Many of his stories about the people, places and events were published weekly in The Pamlico News, Bayboro, NC, from 1994 to 2000.  Some of the Editor’s notes from The Pamlico News about Odell are as follows:

    “William Odell Spain will do whatever it takes to help uncover bits and pieces of the past in his on-going effort to save the rich oral history of the Goose Creek Island area.   He continues his search for many of these long lost accounts, interviewing area folks in order to put these happenings in story form.”
    “For all who are avid readers of Odell’s stories, you know they are like “looking glasses” into our past, allowing us to take a look back through the decades and capture the lifestyles and unusual occurrences that are not written in history books . . . only kept alive through verbal accounts.”

    In 2002 Odell compiled his stories into a book entitled, “Cap’n Dell’s Stories” with a dedication – “To the people of Goose Creek Island and our way of life”.
    An excerpt from an essay by David Cecelski,  printed in The News & Observer, Listening to History, September 13, 1998, entitled “Odell Spain:  My way of life”:

“A former oysterman, Spain is the last male descendant of the Spain family that has lived on Goose Creek Island for two centuries.   A renowned musician and storyteller, Spain has somehow kept a warm sweetness about him despite the anguish he feels over the loss of his sons and the disappearance of the community he knew as a youth.

    In addition to writing stories, Odell compiled and printed, “The Spains of Eastern North Carolina & Associated Families Pitt, Hyde, Beaufort, Pamlico Counties”.  He writes as an endnote in his book:

    “I have enjoyed getting all of this family histories together, it has been rewarding to me, to meet all the people involved in this report.
    Almost all of it has come from my personal knowledge of these families and other individual families whom I visited with and set in their homes and just talked about histories who was willing to share it, in order to get it compiled into one book to be added to and preserved for future generations.
    Family histories are to be shared with everyone.  I hope you do, in doing so I ask you to give me an honorable mention about putting this together when you do.
    I think we have a good and honorable history and I’m very proud to say that I am part of it.  Odell Spain”

This rich heritage has been preserved for future generations in a unique way thanks to Odell’s passion and perseverance to preserve the rich oral history on Goose Creek Island.
