Instructor Collects Wilkes History
J. J. Anderson, with the help
of a tape recorder and many of
the county’s senior citizens, is
compiling a history of Wilkes
County. Mr. Anderson is a his
tory and fine arts instructor at
Wilkes Community College.
Mr. Smink, head of the Audio-
Visual Department, has been
helping Mr. Anderson compile
pictures of old buildings in
Wilkes. The pictures are of such
buildings as the old opera house,
the first Crest’s store, and the
tannery what was washed aw ay in
the flood of 1940.
Here are just a few of the gen
erally unknown facts concerning
Wilkes County:
The first white settler in
Wilkes County was the grand
father of Sequoyah, the originator
of the Cherokee alphabet. His son
married an Indian maiden.
The highway between Ronda
and West Elkin is based with cot-
ten.
In 1930 there were 130 schools
in Wilkes County.
Traphill once had a college.
When incorporated in 1921,
Ronda had ten more citizens than
today.
Currently, Mr. Anderson has
been working with the county’s
older Negros concerning the local
men who fought for the North
during the Civil War.
When completed, the history
will be made available to the
college. The students and all
others connected with WCC
should appreciate Mr. An
derson’s attempt to make our
heritage known.
