Description - Legendary Locals of Mooresville: North Carolina by Cindy Jacobs
The rumble of trains carrying people, cotton, and freight to and from
Moore's Siding was the song of a vibrant community. People worked to
build homes, schools, and churches as early as 1760. They got a town,
Mooresville, in the bargain. James Elbert Sherrill, George C. Goodman, and
the Turner brothers supported the growing economy. Love of community
led Winnie Hooper and Elizabeth Matheson to champion recreation. Shaw
Brown saw people in need and worked to establish a Christian mission.
Mayor Joe Knox and Rep. Robert Brawley embraced change and led a mill
town toward a technological future. Success at home led to success far
away for artist Selma Burke, Mooresville Moors pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm,
New York Parties author Punky Brawley, and Reynolds Tobacco president
S. Clay Williams.
