Along tho Way Imlly Klllatta Many local families can be 9 traced to Barbara Gastor Beverett Carr who is credited with discovering' the spring in Kenansvifle. And, a poem was published in the Sep tember 16, 194^ issue of THE DUPLIN TIMfeS about the spring. Barbara Gastor Beverett came to Duplin and her husband Jacob Beverett was lost at sea. She later married h Duplin resident Joseph Carr. The spring' in Kenanqville has played an important part in the history and legends of Duplin County, It is told that the spring was discovered when Mrs. Beverett was looking for gold and later the same spring played an im portant part in selecting the site for the Duplin County seat. Two sites were selected l for the construction of the " Duplin County Courthouse ana the site selection com mittee was evenly divided between a location at Sarecta and the present spot in Kenansville. James Kenan is said to nave cast the deciding vote in favor of constructing the" courthouse in Kenans ville because of the cool spring. Today the spring still * flows and the poem entitled ? "The Spring in Kenansville" written by Mrs. Addie Carr Carlton follows: As I sit by this spring 1 must reminisce well Of the stories and facts Which my Granny did tell. How we'd sit by the fire On cold wintery nights And live through her life In the Cjvil War fights, . Sherman's men, how they W ransacked Every farm, every barn The South-only God's mercy Kept the people from harm. How my grandfather, then A handsome young lad Came home from the war Lonely, rugged and sad. How we laugh at her new -muslin And her funny "shuck" hat P And her honeymoon ride Astride a horseback. Of ancestors noble A tale she'd relate And the family tree of which A part was our fate. Of each branch, you're a twig She'd proudly say Come summer, come winter And sway as you may. Of that tree -- Fruit you will bear Watch your step, take heed And beware The world will be affected How great or how small The kind of fniit of that tree You share with them all. Of the Carr brothers Durham, Robeson, Duplin; To adventure and trade and To live their life's end. As a child 1 remember Hearing so well the Stories of Kenansville They did re-tell. How great, great grand mother Barbara Can Wife of "Captain Joe" Came from the lad a far. While journeying around Looking for a place to live Dug with her hands the' Spring in Kenan|ville. Though a legent it's true As I sit here and pine ? And think of the things With the passing of time. This spring- so clear ' So crystal and pure Can 1 with my life Be so free and so sure? To to my heirs Something from which, can gain A confidence a patience A courage, a refrain. How well she did teach That the Giver of Life Gave to each of us The supreme sacrifice. So now as 1 look into' This beautiful stream Which has flowed through the years Oh -- what a theme! It has quenched the thirst Of so many passing by The young and the old It has stopped a baby's cry. Yet - material things Though it be ' We have a promise Everlasting and free. "Ye who are weary Or thirsty may be The water of life eternal I will give thee." The poem was written in memory of Mrs. .Carlton's grandparents, Eliza Catherine Carr and Jacob Obed Carr of Kenansville.
