Abstract:

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt came to North Carolina to visit Penderlea, a government farm and housing project in Pender County. Mrs. Roosevelt arrived by train in Wilson and was driven to Wallace, accompanied by Senator Bob Reynolds and Governor Clyde Hoey. While at Penderlea, the first lady went on home to home visits, participated in a square dance and had a lunch of typical farm fare. After returning to Wallace, Mrs. Roosevelt gave a speech and spent the night at the home of a Dr. and Mrs. John D. Robinson. *Additional information on this topic can be found in Vol. 38, No. 13, page 4 (\"First Lady's Visit\"~ Letters to the Editor)
