Abstract:
Senate president Calvin Graves’ conclusion, that North Carolina needed railroads, brought a better connection between the state’s crop producing west and machinery producing east. Results were the founding of cities such as Burlington and creation of conduits for ports such Wilmington’s. The irony behind this beginning is Grave’s concluded political career in his home county and relative anonymity today. Currently, only a highway marker in Yanceyville recognizes his role in the growth of North Carolina’s manufacturing industries’ muscle.

Abstract:
The courtyard was part of what started as Brown’s Chapel, the elegy not alluding to the Thomas Gray’s Romantic poem. This elegy was remembrance of those in the graveyard for what became the schoolhouse.
