Abstract:
The small community of “Whitehurst Station” or "Grindool" had a very rich social and educational history. The village of Grindool was developed by Samuel Clayton Whitehurst (1861-1932) after the railroad brought its line through the community in 1890. In 1892, Grindool consisted of Samuel C. Whitehurst’s store and post office, the depot, James I. Barnhill’s sawmill and B. T. L. Barnhill and B. M. W. James’ cotton gin. In 1893, Prof. C. H. James erected his “James Improved School” in Grindool. In 1910 the depot closed and the post office became known as “Whitehurst.”
