She
graduated from Millers Creek High School in Wilkes County, N.C., in April 1943.[1] Her high school transcript says[2]
“Excellent character, dependable, industrious, high morals and good home
environment.”

I created this blog to share stories and information about my maternal ancestors from Wilkes County, North Carolina. My mother, grandmother, and other relatives shared many family stories with me. As I recall these stories, I will share my journey to find the truth, as well as genealogy tips I learn.
