Abstract:

Nettie Ruth Floyd of Fairmont is one of the town's most energetic and successful business leaders. She is also blind and is the first North Carolina woman to have a seeing-eye dog. Not many people in the state had seen a dog of this kind, and Nettie and her dog Jill opened the door for other individuals to utilize this service.
