Liberty Warehouse (Milton, North Carolina): 1900


 Liberty Warehouse: 1900

Here is an interesting Milton newspaper advertisement. Note the names mentioned.

J. W. Lewis probably is John Willis Lewis (1831-1902), being a relative of Meriwether Lewis of Lewis & Clark exploratory fame.

E. D. Winstead most likely is Edwin Daniel Winstead (1852-1925).

I am struggling with Murray Ferguson; but the Ferguson family was well-known in Milton.

T. A. Donoho most likely is Thomas Archimedes Donoho (1862-1920).

Robert I. Newman most likely is Robert Ira Newman (1854-1934).

James L. McCrary most likely is James Lyman McCrary (1873-1956). He was from Arkansas, but in 1900 was living in Caswell County, North Carolina.
