Belmont’s oldest piece of public art is a treasure By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Belmont has been making great strides in the area of public art, but there’s one piece that predates all the others by a wide margin. Long before Belmont’s City Hall became the center of the town’s municipal government, it was a U.S. Post Office, constructed in 1938. In that building is a reminder of those days when the federal government’s New Deal was in full swing in the form of a mural entitled “Major William Chronicle and His South Fork Boys”. Many thousands of people over the years have seen the mural, but not that many know about the artist, Peter DeAnna, who painted it, how he went about his work in
Belmont in 1940, and the fact that the mural as folks see it today was not his first choice of theme. DeAnna was one of a small army of artists that the Works Projects Administration (WPA) sent out across the land during the Great Depression to create public art, perform music, and take photos of everything from poor folks to national park vistas. Overall, from 1934 to 1943, over 1,300 murals and 300 sculptures were commissioned by the federal government nationwide. Artwork for post offices was supposed to This mural “Major William Chronicle and His South Fork Boys” inside Belmont city hall dates to 1940 and is the town’s first and reflect the heritage or history oldest piece of public art.

Did Lincoln’s mother live in Belmont? By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

Gold fever still grips our area By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
Prior to the California gold rush of 1849, our area was part of the top gold producing region in America. In fact, from 1860 until the Civil War, gold mining was along with farming one of the primary occupations not only
in Gaston County, but across the Piedmont in general. So much gold was found in our local area that a branch of the U.S. Mint was set up in Charlotte in 1836 to handle it. As early as the 1700s there were a number of gold producing mines in Belmont, See GOLD, Page 6
One of American history’s most controversial mysteries- who the biological father of Abraham Lincoln actually washas roots in a Belmont neighborhood. In the early part of the 19th century, Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks, as well as her mother Mandy and sister Lucy, are said to have not only spent time in what would eventually become Belmont, but according to some folks conceive Abe while she was in this part of Gaston County- with someone other than Tom Lincoln, Abe’s “legal” daddy. As a girl in the early 19th century, Nancy and the other girls supposedly visited her uncle Dicky Hanks who lived on land off what is now South Point Rd. To commemorate that time, there’s a stone and bronze marker on the site where Uncle Dicky’s log cabin is said to have stood. The monument is at the very end of See LINCOLN, Page 3
Belmont author and historian Jack Page remembers camping near the Hanks monument when it was in the woods long before any houses were built nearby.

R ECOLLECTIONS AND R EFLECTIONS Snowball and Sniff Sniff Next time you are in downtown Belmont or Mt. Holly observe the folks strolling the sidewalk. A lot of these personages are mommies pushing baby carts. One day I saw a cart to which the mommy had harnessed a large dog and he was happily pulling the cart and its passenger along. This got me to thinking about a few of the more interesting mutts I have encountered over the years not counting the ones that tried to bite me. When I was a teenybopper living on Delgany Drive in the Queen City, a girl down the street had a huge Samoyed dog named Snowball. If you don’t know what a Samoyed looks like then Google it and you will see how Snowball is the perfect name for one. Anyway, Snowball had a pet of his own- a white chicken. Theirs was a match made in heaven. The chicken got to live in Snowball’s doghouse and share his dog food. Snowball had a friend with benefits. The benefit being the fact that the chicken would get up on top of Snowball as he lay on the ground and peck the fleas from Snowball’s fur. I could never figure out if the chicken thought he was a dog or Snowball thought he was a chicken. There’s a lesson in that somewhere for human beings. Another Delgany Drive dog story involves a kid that lived on the next street over named Gene Brasington and his white German shepherd named Cosmo. This was way before leash laws and Cosmo roamed his stretch of road at will and ruled it with an iron paw. One day I was walking
down the street and heard a sound behind me that resembled a horse running on dirt. I turned to see a black dog making great haste and Cosmo right on his tail with fire in his eyes. The sound I heard was Cosmo’s toenails tearing up the ground as he pursued the trespasser. In just a few minutes Cosmo caught his quarry and tore the black dog out of the frame. Later that year, Cosmo sat with us around the TV at Gene’s house and watched as an astronaut supposedly landed on the moon. Cosmo seemed unimpressed. The last Delgany dog I recall was a stray we called Sniff Sniff. This cur knew every garbage can around and knocked over most of them at some point. He lived by wherever his nose led him and sniffed everything and everyone alike. Once he chased the neighbor’s monkey up a tree and stood below sniffing as hard as he could sniff while the monkey hit him with a stick. That’s the truth. We had a chihuahua dog named Tina. It belonged to my stepfather. Tina had watery eyes and yapped like all of that breed do. Tina’s bed was a box under the bathroom sink. For punishment, my stepfather would banish Tina to the box. For punishment I too would be sent to the bathroom usually after a cuffing. This is where Tina learned the principle- “stuff rolls downhill” for as soon as the bathroom door was closed and Tina and I became cellmates then Tina would get a taste of my P.F. Flyer sneaker. By and by Tina was exiled to Catawba Heights to live on

In his younger days Ralph had been in the French Foreign Legion and later the Coast Guard in WWII but that’s another story.

I am sure most of you have a dog story. There are lots of them in literature as well- Lassie, Old Yeller, etc. Maybe the hyena you currently have will be food for thought in years to come just like Snowball, Cosmo, Sniff Sniff, and poor ol Tina.
Connect the Dots: It’s all about Him: Common By Dennis Siracusa For two years Covid-19 has caused all of us to adjust; sometimes because of the illness itself, but oftentimes by dictates from our government, various agencies, the media, or even Hollywood influencers. Who are we to believe? I ask because we place confidence in many sources that may not be as reliable as we’d hoped. An article this week talked about not just accepting our population in egregiously bad physical shape. Who is asleep at the common sense wheel? To make sense of how we perceive things we must understand how we are constructed. Many believe we are a marvelous and often mysterious evolved entity with a conscious mind and subconscious ability. In contrast, God says He created us in His image with obvious bodies, our soul or heart as some call it, consisting of our mind, will and emotions, AND our spirit which is awesome even starting out because it has miraculously been imbedded with our
consciences, intuition, and a one way communication link to Him. In both of these cases, evolution or creation, common sense is learned through experiences. I love the Farmers Insurance quote… “We’ve learned a thing or two.” It not only points to the existence of common sense but the wisdom of paying attention to it. By definition, common sense is sound judgement or level headedness and this sounds good except that definitions are fickle. My definition of sound judgement and yours may be quite different. For instance if you and I differ on the morality of robbing a store or murdering someone, our thinking may differ just as wildly when we consider… welllll… anything! Evolutionists have a thorny problem confronting them. Their morality shifts and changes according to human situation ethics. God’s morality, however, is fixed and His Holy Spirit and His Word always point to that fixed foundation. Once God’s morality is in place we can trust common sense. Romans 12:2 ESV tells us “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” And this happens by listen-
Sense
ing to the Holy Spirit and by studying God’s Word and it is a process. In 1776 Thomas Paine released a pamphlet entitled “Common Sense.” It ignited a revolution by condemning the arbitrary rule over America of Britain’s King George III and his parliament. It encouraged the colonists to rise up against their oppressors. The kings of England had ruled over the American colonies since their beginnings, but just because Americans had become used to that rule, it didn’t justify its heavy oppressive dictates. When Thomas Paine wrote these pamphlets they were so filled with acceptable common sense he kept writing and publishing. We would do well to consider this today. We are not ruled from outside today but from the inside and oppressive weights can and are being placed on America because many in leadership are led by humanistic standards, not by God. As we traverse new election periods let’s remember that. What should our litmus test be? Should we elect someone based on name recognition or accountability to God? What does common sense tell us?

Please join us at the Mount Holly Historical Society’s
Museum 131 S. Main St. in downtown Mount Holly. The backcountry of the Carolinas played a key role in the later stages of the Revolutionary War. The British southern strategy fell apart due to the determined resistance of local Patriots in the Carolinas- a development which ultimately led to the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown.

pregnant with Abe during her Gaston County days, that tale too has taken on folkloric proportions. One theory is that Adam Springs of McAdenville is the father of Abe. Folks that follow that line of thinking point out that Springs and Abe bear a striking resemblance to one another and that Nancy had often visited Springs to do chores- and whatever else the days might have brought. Billy Miller’s book “McAdenville, Spun From the Wilderness” declares, “The story goes on that she was forced to leave the area because of her relationship with Adam, and was taken in by Abraham Enloe of Rutherfordton, NC. When it became evident that she would bear a child, the wife of Abraham
LINCOLN From Page 1 Hanks Creek Lane off Dorie Drive in the Pinsto development near South Point High School. The marker was put up in 1923 by descendants of C. T. Stowe, namely Samuel Pinckney Stowe, who at that time owned the land where the cabin was situated and features the bas relief of a cabin and rail fence. Words inscribed on the plaque read, “This stone marks the site of the log cabin home of Dicky Hanks, an uncle of Nancy Hanks, mother of Abraham Lincoln. Nancy spent much of her girlhood with her uncle.” The rock that forms the base of the monument was supposedly dragged to the spot by mules and, according to author and historian the late Minnie Stowe Puett, was placed where the chimney to Uncle Dicky’s cabin was located. Hanks Creek runs near the monument and prompted Puett to describe the pastoral scene. “At the foot of the hill, under the spreading beeches, still bubbles the family spring where Nancy often quenched her thirst,” Puett wrote. Uncle Dicky was said to often quench his thirst too, but not with water, and is referred to in some texts as a “shiftless sort of fellow.” The tale of Nancy’s activities in our area is as tangled
Page 3 Enloe insisted she leave.” Miller’s book contains photos of Adam Springs and Lincoln and readers can draw their own conclusions. Local author and historian Jack Page, one of the founders of the Belmont Historical Society and co-author of “Images of America: Belmont” is familiar with the Hanks tale. “I used to camp near the stone monument long before there was a housing development there,” Page said. “I even tried gold panning in Hanks Creek and found a few flakes.” But Page has done research on the Hanks story and says he believes it is not as iron clad as some folks think. “My reading uncovered the fact that in the time period that Dicky lived in the cabin
that there were about a dozen girls named Nancy Hanks between Gaston and Rutherford counties,” Page said. “I don’t want to offend anyone but there is a lot of evidence to the contrary that the Belmont Nancy Hanks might not have been the one that was Lincoln’s mother.” Nonetheless, the story of a girl named Nancy Hanks and her Belmont days is an intriguing one. For those interested in digging deeper, and coming to one’s own conclusions, a trip to the Main Gaston County Library’s NC history room will provide plenty of food for thought on the subject, and a trip to actually see the Hanks monument, the icing on the cake.
The Hanks monument on Hanks Creek Lane in Pinsto was erected in 1923. Photo by Alan Hodge as the whiskers in her son’s beard and the fate of the cabin likewise. As far as the cabin goes, in his book “Between Two Rivers”, author Ross Yockey quotes Puett as saying the cabin was bought by a man named Sam Ewing who used the logs to construct a granary. In turn, the granary was torn down and the logs recycled by C.T. Stowe for a cotton shed. Legette Blythe’s book “Robert Lee Stowe: Pioneer
in Textiles” declares that the cabin was moved from its original spot on “Uncle Sammy” Stowe’s to land at another Stowe home where it sat for years before eventually being sheltered by a shed. An undated, black and white photo of what is purported to be the cabin appears in Blythe’s book. Then there’s Nancy’s Belmont area love life. As far as Nancy and the possibility that she became

North Carolina’s oldest general store still going strong By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
If you want to see what a community dry goods and hardware store looked like 100 or more years ago, then you need to hop in your car and head for Washburn’s General Store near Bostic in Rutherford County. Washburn’s General Store is the oldest, continuously
operating, family owned, retail business in North Carolina. It was first established in 1831 as a tavern on the Lincoln-Rutherford counties stagecoach line by Benjamin Washburn, and has been handed down through brothers and sons to his current owner great-great nephew Edward Nollie Washburn III.

The National Department of the Interior inducted the General Store, the family mansion, a classic wooden barn built in 1915, and several other buildings as a historic district in 2002. The other structures include several rental houses, a funeral home, a 1915 powerhouse, and a pump house. The Washburn family mansion-house located across the street from the store has a twin in Belmont, the Albert Hand House at 211 N. Main St., that was built in 1907. In 1914, Nollie Washburn traveled to Belmont and bought a copy of the Hand House blueprints for two dollars. A Washburn ledger reveals that it cost $8,005 to build the house. Materials for the massive Tuscan columns on the front porch cost $240. Slate for the roof set Washburn

It’s the fourth building the business has been in. The Store’s original building actually stood on the other side of the Washburn’s Crossroads to its current home. It began as a tavern, inn, and mercantile store that served stagecoaches traveling between Rutherford and Lincoln counties. Today, Washburn’s General Store operates as a business, local hangout, and tourist attraction- pretty much in that order. Thirsty? Grab a cold, bottled Blenheim ginger ale or Cheerwine. As you cool your esophagus, let your eyes feast on the multitudinous amount of old timey “stuff”

Washburn was once president of the First State Bank of Bostic. Legend has it that during the Great Depression, Edgar went to the Federal Reserve in Charlotte and brought back two suitcases of cash to keep the bank open.

Stowe wrote in 1951. “The Leeper mine was worked more than a hundred years ago and was considered a rich mine. The Wells mine was located just north of Sterling Mill and was worked extensively during the 1870s. Before the Civil War there was a place about two miles south of the Southern Railway bridge where a gold vein crossed the river. The people of the neighborhood would get a flat boat in the summertime and use a long handle and scoop up the sand and gravel from the river bottom and wash it for gold. This was a tedious process but I understand they made good wages. Sometime in the late 1890s a man built a dredge boat and had a steam shovel affair with which he scooped up the sand. He was said to have gotten a considerable amount of gold but could not handle the dredge when there was a rise in the river which was pretty often. There came a freshet in the river and washed the boat away and the scheme was abandoned.” In Catawba Heights, a small gold mine was operated on the Smith farm around the turn of the 20th century. The site was located near Fite Creek and was a large depression in the ground with crude machinery for sifting rocks. As the story goes, gold was found, but a cave-in nearly cost one miner his life and the digging was halted. Today, that very area is located behind one of the new River West warehouses on Cason St. Down the South Point Road near Belmont, a gold mine was operated as early as the American Revolution. The first owner of the mine was Matthew Leeper who later sold the land to C.T. Stowe. It was later passed down to historian and author Minnie Stowe Puett. Miners from as far away as Georgia worked the digs said to have produced gold in great amounts until it closed at an undetermined date. In Mount Holly, an Italian named Chevalier Riva de Finola set up gold mines west
of Tuckaseege Ford around 1830 and had them worked by several families of Irish Catholic immigrants. These families would eventually establish St. Joseph’s Church, the fourth oldest Catholic house of worship in North Carolina. The church still stands on NC 273 just outside of town and a NC Highway Historical Marker mentions the miners. Stanley was a good place to look for gold in days gone by. Author Joyce Handsel wrote a report on early 1800s gold mining in Stanley for the Brevard Station Museum there. She described the conditions for miners and their families as “crude and primitive” with poor to non-existent job training and rough living conditions. One Stanley area mine named “Duffey’s” was located on the South Fork River close to Spencer Mountain near present-day Lowell. An ad Handsel cited in the Feb. 17, 1847 “Mecklenburg Jeffersonian” newspaper showed the mine as part of a 175-acre tract for sale and declared “a large quantity of ore had been raised”. The mine was still operating in 1878. Handsel also mentions another Stanley dig called Moore gold mine in her work. This mine was on land southwest of town owned by Alexander Moore. It was first worked by the Moore family, then by a William Folger, then sold in 1832 to Cabarrus Gold Mining Co. of North Carolina. Other Stanley area gold mines were owned by folks such as Samuel Rankin, Thomas Rhyne, and Peter Smith, whose occupation in the 1850 U.S. Census had him pegged as a “miner”. Another local author, Jack Morris of Belmont, has penned a gold mining book entitled “The History and Rebirth of the Remarkable Haile Gold Mine”. Morris’ work examines the past, present, and future of the 1827 Haile Mine near Kershaw, S.C. This mine produced over 360,000 ounces of gold in days gone by and after a long period of inactivity

was reopened in 2017. Using knowledge gained during his career with Newmont Mining Corp., Morris details the technical and geological side of gold production. But that’s not all. His book also delves into the rich relationship that mining and the Kershaw region have in common.
Anyone interested in gold mining in general, and mining in the Piedmont in particular, will get a good read, as well as a ton of knowledge from this book. These days, gold is still likely lying in the ground and creeks in Gaston County just waiting on modern-day prospectors to root it out.

Gaston’s Superintendent of Schools earns regional recognition Dr. W. Jeffrey Booker, Superintendent of Gaston County Schools, has earned the prestigious Southwest Region Superintendent of the Year recognition for 20222023. Superintendents in the Southwest Region, which includes 11 public school districts in nine counties across the greater Charlotte area, selected Booker for the honor, which is presented by the Southwest Education Alliance. This is Booker’s second time as the Southwest Region Superintendent of the Year. He also won the honor six years ago in 2016-2017. Booker will compete against seven other regional winners for the A. Craig Phillips North Carolina Superintendent of the Year title. The state winner is traditionally named in November during a ceremony sponsored by the N.C. School Superintendents Association, N.C. Association of School Administrators, and the N.C. School
Boards Association. The current State Superintendent of the Year is Dr. Valerie Bridges of Edgecombe County Public Schools. During the Gaston County Board of Education meeting on May 23, Board chairman Jeffrey K. Ramsey announced Booker’s selection as the Regional Superintendent of the Year. “We are delighted and extremely proud to have the Regional Superintendent of the Year leading Gaston County Schools,” said Ramsey. “Dr. Booker has been selected by his fellow superintendents for this honor twice during his time as our superintendent, which is very impressive.” Ramsey added, “Since becoming our Superintendent of Schools in January 2014, Dr. Booker has demonstrated excellent leadership and exemplary vision for Gaston County Schools. We are very fortunate to have him as our superintendent, and winning
the recognition for a second time reminds all of us of his many accomplishments, his knowledge and expertise in education, and his steadfast dedication to supporting our schools, our employees, and our children and families.” During Booker’s eightyear tenure as Superintendent of Schools, Gaston County Schools has focused attention on improving student achievement; providing more technology for students and teachers; supporting employees through professional development opportunities like the Superintendent’s Leadership Academy; expanding school choice options as well as Career and Technical Education programs; enhancing school safety and partnerships with local law enforcement; increasing communication, partnerships, and outreach with parents and the community; and managing various school construction and renovation projects as a re-
Dr. W. Jeffrey Booker sult of the 2018 school bonds. Further, Booker has provided excellent leadership for the district during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not uncommon for Gaston County to have its Superintendent of Schools to
be recognized at the regional and state levels for outstanding leadership. Booker’s predecessors, L. Reeves McGlohon and the late Edward D. Sadler, Jr., both received the regional superintendent recognition, and Sadler was
chosen as the 2003 N.C. Superintendent of the Year. McGlohon, who retired in December 2013 from Gaston County Schools and now serves as executive director of the Southwest Education Alliance, is confident that Booker will be a formidable contender for the State Superintendent of the Year award. “We are extremely pleased to have Dr. Booker as our Southwest Region Superintendent of the Year for 20222023,” said McGlohon. “He is a visionary leader in public education who wants the very best for the students, families, and employees of Gaston County Schools. Dr. Booker’s tenure as superintendent has been filled with many significant accomplishments, and the Regional Superintendent of the Year recognition is both earned and deserved. Without question, he is the epitome of what a school superintendent should be.” Gaston Schools story/photo

As a father of four, one of my greatest accomplishments in life is my children. I am blessed by, and very proud of my kids. Last week we celebrated Father’s Day. It was a time to honor and remember our dads and what they mean to us. Being a father is not easy. There are so many stresses and demands on dads each day, yet being a dad is an incredible blessing. In 1 Chronicles 22:1-16, King David had desired to build a temple for God. He wanted a house of worship worthy of God. However, God would not allow David to build the temple, as he was a warrior who had shed much blood. God wanted Solomon, David’s son to build the temple, as he would be a man of peace. Although David would not build the temple, he would prepare for his son. David gathered all the materials, including large amounts of gold, silver, and timber. He also assembled stonecutters, builders, and masons to do the work. David had everything ready for Solomon. He told Solomon to do the work, to seek God and to trust in Him. After David’s death, Solomon did become king and he built the temple for God just as David had
planned. Being a dad is a great responsibility. As fathers, we teach our kids things for life. We teach them to be good, moral people. Rev. Trent Rankin It is our job also to teach team Jesus. Live Jesus before them every day. Love them, pray for them, and be there for them as they prepare for their lives. We may not be a king like David, or have his wealth, yet we can give our best to our kids. We can give them our time and attention. We can give them what they need, us! As dads we teach and prepare our children for the future, just as David prepared for his son to be king and to build God’s temple. We do all we can do, yet it’s up to our children to continue on, living lives pleasing to God. Solomon did carry on, he became a wise, great king. He built a beautiful temple to reflect God. Sadly, as he became old, Solomon forgot the words of his father, and he fell away from God. Dads prepare us, but it’s up to us to live our lives. Being a dad isn’t easy, but our world needs dedicated fathers who love their children and love, most all, God.
