INC. Reminiscences Of Cherryville David P. Dellinger, A. M. HISTORIC PLACES We pay tribute to the pioneers who settled in this section of Gaston County. They all had nerve to come into their wild land and to build themselves substan tial homes doing- all worn virtu ally by their own hands. There were no saw mills or nardtvare stores. Therefore the houses were built of logs and practically all of them were two stories. We as sume that was or. account of the roofs as the boards were made by hand and in many cases were put on with wooden pegs for nails. We will mention a few of them. The most noted of those places is that of Mr. Christopher Stroup who was born July 7, 3810. He built his two story log house out on the Old Post Road, the road leading from Baltimore and Rich mond to Charleston, a mile or so southwest of town. This distin guished man maintained a camp ground much on the order of the truck stops this day and time. He operated two blacksmith shops in the grove opposite his home. One shop was used for manufacture of heavy iron used for various purposes. The other for horse shoeing- and repairing wagons and the like fc: his campers. This was perhaps the most noted place on the route. All trade ir. this vast section had to be handled by wag'Ons as there were no trains or other means of transporting freight. The father of Christopher was Daniel Stroup who was horn ir. 177ft and bed November 8. 1924. !Utr. W. G. Stroup became the’ next owner f this property. The dwelling -till standing and in good repair arm s u.-ed and occupied by Rev. W. a. Heavr.er. The building was ■: n«t>-"ic-teri r. the eighteen thirties a-.d 1.- about one hundred twenty v twenty five yea's old. Captain .T R •.-.„ilt his tw■ story : ue - > the waters of India- < 'r--ek.

M- Be: Black's present home - tie site f that old place About lSofl a g.n. l.r .f railroad men were . : r.ttrer.ce about t r near the -ite of the .d Seaboard depot and mtr.c .-essed -with the hundreds - kr.crrv trees along the lane at:a ir. -m1" cor ners though i: wt.-e- ; -tabksrt-u; a village here to eat', their station Cherryvillc which the;, dm. They buii the road to th:s point and shortly the Post tiff::t was given the game name. Significant was the fact that this station was the station for not only our section hut for Cleveland and Rutherford Counties. Soldiers from those countieg had to come here to get a train going to the civil war. One of the finest of the old .pomes was that of Ephram and Hetr.e Black. This was situate at the edge of t.owri starting out on the Old Post Road. Mr. Black was Morn in 1820 and it is though his home was built, about 115 years ago. It is to be regretted that this tine home was razed some years ago preparatory to build t,c a rather exclusive develop ment. But that all fell through in short, order, but too late as the old home was gone. The David Mauney place out a couple of miles was the finest. He first had his log home and began raising a fine family just across Mhrfdy Fork Creek, hut dnout one hundred years ago Mr. David M. Glenn, an uncle of the writer, built him the biggest and best home in the whole country. That was the home of Messrs W. A.. J. S. and g. S. Mauney ar.d others. It. will be remembered that Messrs. W. A. and J. S. Mlauney built the first cotton mill ir Kings Mountain and are re sponsible for starting that town. Then in thev joined up with Captain John M. Rhodes and built the first, cotton mill in this town. That was the real beginning of our ‘own as we had fewer than two hundred people at the time. Toe David Mauney home is one of the most outstanding places ir. the country today. 'Phe home and a tract of over four hundt-fd acres of land is. now occupied by the Dover family. About the year 1S50 Mr. Henry Summit, emhloyhd that same car penter, Mr. David G’er.n, to build iiini a fire home which was on S J Ho unfair Street and was icCKPied.by M*'. summit, for mar.v yer.ro 3i tsxn Mr. Melville Rudi •hll fttirchased the home and oo •jpif* * fo- some years.

County ar.d the state of Nekth Carolina receiv ed much notoriety by a North Carolina railroad display car fur nish ed by owr townwiien, MmbK Lee M Irellinger and W. Rufus Carroll. This was a regular rail road passenger car filled to the brim with the products of the state, agriculturally, forestry, and mining. This car was .carried all over the i United Staten and was' considered one of the most inter esting pieces of adv'eirtismg the statt ever had before ot since. Mr J. William Carroll, son of Mr. Rufus Carroll, was sent along in charge of the dispay. The chat' of the venture was many thous ' and-? rf dollars hut willingly ad vanced iby our own good people. Tne railroads in all parts of the country transported the car wholly without charge.
