GLENN, had to say in 1906 about Lenoir Co., NC, This is good reading. :-) Kinston, the county seat of Lenoir, is one of the most progressive towns in North Carolina, and its growth has been simply marvelous. All can remember when it was only a little village on the railroad from Goldsboro to New Bern, that scarcely called for a second glance from the car window, but now it is rapidly growing into a city, with banks, warehouses, factories, two railroads, (and soon to have a third), paved streets, electric lights, water-works, fine business houses of every description, well conducted newspapers, splendid schools and churches, and an up-to-date, energetic population, bound to prosper and go forward, and soon to be a powerful factor in the industrial, political and religious life of the State. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/lenoir/lenoirindustrial.htm Industrial Press-Lenoir Co., NC Archives Good luck to all Christine Grimes Thacker
