Letter To The Editor vP s=i||§p Dear Editor: I have just finished reading the October sth edition of The Yancey Journal. I think it is the best little paper in this part of the country. I have had a chance to watch Burnsville grow. I went to school at the Yancey Colle - glate Institute in 1902. I guess lam the only one in the county now living that attended that school in 1902. Sincerely, W. A. Banks * Dear Editor: We, of the Mayland Chapter, American Red Cross, wish to extend our congratulations and thanks to the people of Yancey County for their splendid response to our appeal for Disaster Funds. Mis. Louella Honeycutt, whose untiring ef forts contributed so much to the success of this drive is to be especially commended. Your people generously gave $365.00 toward our quote of $864.00 for the National Disas ter Fund. Again I say Thank You. Lula Belle Wiseman,Chairman American Red Cross ★ u (EDITOR'S NOTE: Since the following letter reached The Yancey Journal office too late for inclusion in last week's History Edition, we are publishing it in this week's issue.) Dear Editor: It seems appropriate that the following resolution, made on September 1, 1930, by the Yancey County Board of Com missioners, and the subsequent facts, be included in your first historical edition of The Yancey Journal: "WHEREAS, in 1833, Yancey County formed from Burke and Buncombe counties, and named in honor of Ben Bartlett Yancey of Caswell County, and Burnsville, the county seat, named in honor of Capt. Otway Bums of Onslow County, John Bailey (known as "Yellow Jacket") gave 100 acres of land to Yancey County for a county seat where the present town of Burnsville is now located, including the public square, in or der that the county seat of Yancey might be located at this . place, and to enable the Board of County Commissioners of Yancey County to build a courthouse and jail from the pro ceeds derived from the sale of lots not used for county pur poses, and, "WHEREAS, no name has ever been given the public square and no honor done the memory of John Bailey for his generosity. "NOW, THEREFORE, it is ordered by the Chairman and Members of the Board of County Commissioners of Yancey County that the name of the PUBLIC SQUARE in the town of Burnsville, Yancey County, be and the same is herebynamed BAIIEY SQUARE. "Done by the Board of County Commissioners of Yancey r *“*v in regular session, this the first day of September, 1930. "BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF YANCEY COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. D.C. Bailey, Chairman D. L, Hurst, Member J. H. Edge, Member." __ ******* The late Mokon Alexander, my father-in-law, who was the first elected mayor of Burnsville and a great-great neph ew of John Bailey, told many times of Senator Otway Bums' being instrumental in helping John Bailey establish the coun ty seat at its present site rather than at Cane River. When early in 1834, the controversy arose over the loca - tion of the county seat, John Bailey settled the dispute by offering to give 100 acres of land to the County of Yancey. He rode horseback to Raleigh, where he presented his plan to the legislature. The plan was accepted, but in order for the transfer of land to be made legal, John Bailey was paid the token sum of $1.50 per acre. The transaction was rmde on March 6, 1834, and is recorded in Deed Book, Vol. 1 pages 13 and 14, on file in the office of the Yancey County Registrar of Deeds. When the county commissioners sold lots for business and home sites, they left unsold about one acre in the center of the town for the first courthouse grounds. Later, this court house was tom down and a new one erected across the street on the southwest corner. The grounds where the first courthouse stood became the site of the present public square which is still the property of the County of Yancey. The town of Burnsville was incorporated on March 8,1922. The late C. R. Hamrick was appointed to serve as mayofe* until the first election was held in May, 1922, when Mbltih Alexander Bailey was elected to serve as mayor. Elected to serve as members of the first Board of Aldermen for the town A of Burnsville vere Fred Proffitt, Blake Wilson, W. I. Parnell, and S. E. Tilson. John P. Lyon was appointed to serve as the first treasurer and tax collector. About 1922, local citizens began to plan the layout of the public square with tire help of a landscape architect and a highway engineer. They carefully planned each detail; the curbing, the colonial Hack iron lamp posts with under - ground wiring, the walkways and the shrubbery. k was not until September 1, 1930, however, that John Bailey was honored for his generosity by having the public square in Burnsville named BAIIEY SQUARE. John Bailey was a great grandson of Samuel and Sarah Bryan Bailey, the first Baileys to come to North Carolina. He was a son of Ancil and Elizabeth Bradley Bailey, who ware among the first settlers of the Yancey-County area. The site, where John Bailey is buried, is an unmarked grave in a small hillside cemetery near the bridge at Relief in Yancey County. He was bom in 1798, but the exact date of his death has yet to be determined. It is likely, how ever, that he died in the 1880's, since the Census of 1880 (Yancey) lists him as 81 yean of age.
