On March 28, 1956, twenty-four interested people met in the Agriculture Building in Yanceyville to discuss organizing a historical association for Caswell County. Were you alive then?
The stated purpose of the organization would be to “do all in its power to collect and preserve the available historical material connected with the history of Caswell County.”
Miss Anne Yancey (Annie) Gwynn was named chairperson of the group. At the next meeting she was elected president, with:
James Yancey Blackwell vice president
Mrs. John Yancey Gatewood second vice president (Maud Gatewood’s mother),
Ben Miles third vice president
Mrs. Alice W. Smith secretary and
James Ezekiel (Zeke) Anderson treasurer (Sallie Anderson’s husband).
