Kimbro Store (Anderson Township, Caswell County, NC)


The Kimbro Store in Anderson Township, Caswell County, North Carolina, was owned by Brodie Everette Kimbro (1920-2006). Location: intersection of Highway 62S and Cherry Grove Road. While the store ceased operation many years ago, the building still stands.

In the 1960s when this photograph was taken the store was leased and operated by Herman Hessie Gregory (1914-1979) and Dorothy Grey Rudd Gregory (1920-2000).

Other Renters/Operators:

James Roy Byrd (1924-1994) and Alma Amanda Hines Byrd (1929-2017)

Charlie Alvis Rice (1927-2001) and Gladys Diane Eastwood Rice (1974-1993). A sister of Gladys Diane Eastwood, Emily Bessie Eastwood (1931-2006), married Thomas Osborne Kimbro (1922-2001), brother of Brodie Everette Kimbro.

Note: Spelling of the Kimbro/Kimbrough surname in Caswell County, North Carolina, has caused genealogical research difficulties. So, search for both.
