Abstract:
O. Max Gardner, Jr. became the youngest trustee of the Greater University of North Carolina in June 1947. Following the unexpected death of his father Oliver Max Gardner, Sr. in February 1947, the 24 year old was appointed to his father's position as a trustee. Making this story even more spectacular, is that Gardner, Jr. was a student at State College, a member of the Greater University of North Carolina making him not only the youngest trustee but the first active student to fill the role.

Abstract:
Edgecombe County, named after Richard first Baron of Edgecombe, once encompassed an area equal to 17 modern era counties drawn from Bertie Precinct in 1732. Initially the county seat was Enfield, and then moved to Halifax, before finally being established at Tarboro. Tarboro, then Tarborough, was incorporated September 23, 1760 and historically the spelling was not agreed upon until January 14, 1898 by the Post Office that recognized only the current spelling. In 1947, Tarboro represented a vibrant county seat with modern hospitals, public facilities, and industry.
