Abstract:

While services were held in Pittsboro since the late 1700s, St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church was not built until 1831. The first marriage was recorded there in 1832. A complete restoration of the old church was recently completed, and a restoration of the cemetery is planned.

Abstract:

The schooner Carroll M. Deering ran aground on the Diamond Shoals off the North Carolina Coast in February 1921. When the Coast Guard arrived, the crew and captain were not on board. Many theories were put forth, but none of them could answer the mystery disappearance. Now Captain Charles O. Peele, who was a Chief Boatswain at the time and among the rescuers who boarded the schooner presents his own theory.
