Oak Trees on the SquareTown Square Oak Trees Planted 1933 Participants Mocksville Commissioners Hugh A. Lagle Ben Y. Boyles J. Sidney Kirk Town Minutes April 2, 1929. H. A. Lagle elected Superintendent of the water system and streets of Mocksville at the salary of seventy-five (75.00) per month his duties to begin April 8th 1929. Ben Boyles was a very close friend of Hugh Lagle and worked with him a great number of years on many different projects. He almost certainly would have helped with the tree planting. Andrew remembered when they were planted. I found no mention in the Town Minutes about the planting ... A statement refers to a WPA grant for a town project (not identified) to be in effect from Nov. 16 to Dec. 31, 1933. This might have been for the tree planting referred to in Sidney Kirk's article about the beginning of the WPA in Mocksville and Davie County. J. Sidney Kirk in a long letter telling of his work with the WPA grant projects in the early days of the New Deal to counter the Great Depression tells of the planting of the oaks on the Square. - Files at Davie County Library History Room. gmJ.
