Abstract:

A Jacksonville native received great fanfare not only for his stature in the local community but his physical stature as well. He was a successful man; publisher of the Jacksonville News and Views, an active member in Kiwanis Club, Mason, and Elk Lodge, and legislator for Onslow County. All of these accomplishments noteworthy, but he received greater publicity for being only 41 inches tall.
