'The bill to form Dnvie County from Ivuvvan was passed in Dccemfber, iSdU, and the first County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions was held In February, 1837. In the early history of Davie county there were a number of citiaens whose names appear fre quently in the county records as magistrates, adminintrntors on GStntGS, gunrdiana of orphans and in other civic nffaivs. Fromln- ciil nnioiig these citizens wore Thomas McNccly, n merchant, and Colonel William Frohock Keliyi a planter. These two men mnrricd sisters, the daughters of Nicholas Gaither, so their fami*- lios were closely connected. Tho- I— St.- I mas McNcciy lived in tho large iwi.-sloiy frame house, Inter known us the W. A. Weant house, which was torn down several years ago. Colonel Kelly lived for a luinYber. of years on his large plnntntion in Davie, later luii-ciiasing the reatdcnco on Sni- Isbiiry street, whore his daugh ter, MIss Sallie E. Kelly, made her home until about ten years ago. Tho material for this article has bQcn...8ecured..through cnurt- nilnutea, church records, tomb stone inscriptions, and Informa tion from the relatives of the McNcely and Kelly families. Thomas McNecIy was born Bopt. 80, 17D0, and died June 4, 1806. He was married on iMarch 20, 1820 to Margaret Gaither, who was born in March, 1790, and died Feb. IG. 1877. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas .McNeoiy arc burled in, the old English Goniotcry in Sal isbury, The children of Thom as and Margaret McNooIy were: Wiliinm Gaither McNccly, who m.iiTicil, 1st, Louise Marvin, and 2iu!, Mrs. Mildred Hunt McCoy; JtiliLis Dwighl, who married Hcn- riclla Hall; Thomas Chalmers Mi'Nccly; Lnurn McNccly, who nuirried Arehibuld Young; Amn- mla ilcN'ccly, who married Josc- ph .lohnstonc, and moved to Gnl- vcstun, Texas; Maria McNcoIy, who was the first wife of Tho mas M.

Satie Chat- ,terton, of Newburgh, New York, and died In 1026. Some of the Kelly family lived here, others made their homes in Charlotte and Rowan County. In looking ovor the old Session Book of Joppa Presbyterian Church, -it is seen that Thomas McNeely was iClerk of the Ses sion from 1S32 to 1850. Joppa Church was located a mile west of Mocksville, and the old grave yard still remains there. The -congregation moved lo Mocks ville in 183d, niul in 1840 u com modious brick church was built on tho site of the present edifice, the latter being eroded in 1905. The plans for the church built in iSdO were drawn by Colonel Kol- ly, being similar to n church he had seen in Mississippi. In the Joppn Session Book is found this entry: "Oct. 12, 1888. Thomas McNccty was appointed to .sit in the Presbytery in Mock- aviJic, and John W. Torrentino, his altornatc." The Minutes of jtho Bavie County Courts show that Thomas McNcoly was one of I the justices presiding nt the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sos- -sioar. in the carly-days-of^-Davler jiin the school election hold in (August, 1889, among tho seven aupirlntondonts elected were Wil liam F Kelly and R. M. Pearson, the office being somewhat like a school board. In the Davle Coun ty Minute Book, page 116, there is a colored diagram of tho To>vn of Mocksville, drown by Thomas Rntledge, surveyor, and copied .iby Thomas McNooly. Mr. Mc- ' Neoly's partner in tho mcrcan- ' I tile business wos Stephen L. Ho- jwell, who lived in the house later .known ns tho C. C. Snnfnrd home. Stephen L. Howoll was I also a momhor of .Toppa Church, and moved from Mocksville to Tnyloravillc in 18G3. Thomas McNcely was chairman of the fir.st honrd of town commission ers of Mocksville, nftor its in corporation in 1889, th<s other members of the board being Dr. Jnracs F. Martin, magistrate of police, Ephi'alm Gaithor, treasur er, and J» McRorle, secretary. | At tho May Term of Davle County Court, 1840, the will of Thomns Hn.vs was probated, one clause being; "I give and be queath unto my worthy friend, Thomas McNooly, my negro boy, Tonoy, and bis mother named •Ann, having the utmost confid ence that he will treat them with ;r«d— Im.iiaiiitj:."' Tfi nnte-bollum days many of the slaves belonged to tlic white congrcgntion.s, as the following entries In the Joppn records show: "May, 1888—Died, Amey, forvant of Thomns McNccly, her last end was that of pence;" "Sept, 16, 1845—Peter, servant (Continued on next page) Bio - Obituaries -1926 DAVIE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Two Citizens of Old Mocksville (continued) or Tbnnins McNeely, diod, liaviiiff bcun u member of Jnppa Church for many yeurH, ullhoivirh n »or- vnnt. let his light bo shine to do good." I 111 the early land transactions .in Davio County is one between Charles Fisher, of Ilowaii, to William F. Kelly, the latter piir- chusing the Pearson Mill Tract jin 1841; and also deeds from I Henry Willaon to William P. Kelly frop I'operty in the town of Mookaville and also for "the Gold Mine Tract adjoining James Pen- ry and others." At tho Novcm- ^ocr Term of Davie Court, 1846, William F. KelJy qualified as ad ministrator on the estate of John Clement, who had introduced the bill to form d)avle County from Rowan in 1836. In the Davie Court Minutes, Nov. 29, 1848, is tho record: ""Wm. ||. Kelly was appointed one of the committee of Finance for Dnvie County, in place of M. D. lArmfleld, remov ed. Ho came into Court and was duly qualified." Returning to the Joppa Scs- .•lion Book, the following entries are found: "April G. 1840—Col. William F. Kelly, I. -A. Wllhor- spooii and Thomas Brown were duly elected Trustees of Joppa Church, to whom lille is to bo inn do." "Dec 31, 18413, Mrs. 'Kmily Cliailln died, having lived 'for Hie cause of Christ, an ar dent friend of Bnbbutli schools, and n dcvotod Christian." Mrs. Chufllu was a daughter of Nich olas Gnither, and a sister of Mrs. Thomas McNcoly and Mrs. William F. Kelly. The famous teacher, Peter S. Noy, bcltoved by many to have been one of Napo leon's officers, .wrote n poem for -Mrs. Chafiln to give to her son, Franklin Chaflin, on his birthday, ■II 1840. Peter S. Key taught in the vieiiiity of MocKsviiic, and was a visitor in Colonol Kelly's home. Ho wrote a letter to Mrs. Kelly, stating hia religious views, and both tha poom and the let ter arc still In the possession of the Kelly family. In the Joppn records Is this note entered by Thomas McNeely, on Dec. 80, 1848: "Col. William F. Kelly died, having been for many years nn orderly member our church." The Davic Court Minutes, page 70, Feb. 27, 1845), has this entry: "Ajdministrntion upon the e-sliile of William P. Kelly, dec,, granted to Stephen L. IIowcII." Colonel Kelly's grave at Joppn Cemetery Is marked with a tall 'slab, the epitaph being: "In mem ory of Col. William F. Kelly, who died Dec. 20, 1848, aged 52 years and 11 mos. Colonel Kelly was of Scotch descent, a gcntlc- nmn of tho old school, firm to his purpose, calm, tomporatc, and conscientious to a remarkablo degree. He was an exemplary member of the Presbyterian Church. Ho loved the church of his forefathers, revered and prac ticed her instructions, catechis ing his family, dally reading tho Scriptures and praying with them.

JOHN DAVID FURCHES > DEAD, AFTER LONG ILLNESS Farmtngton, June 8.—Mrs, John Dayid Furches died this afternoon nt 12:20. o'clock^ one and one- half miles aouth-\vest of Farming- ton, after several months illness. Never.has a more saintly mother passed to the beyond. She was the •victim of that dreadful and hoplesp diSMse, .tuberculosis. Sho had been In; a Very low state of .health for several months, having been, sent to the tuberculosis sani* toHum below Raleigh for some two or three weeks. After (hat n time she was dlsmlsBed realizing that there was no hope for her. She was brought home and cared for under state health regula tions until she met her death. •The Angela of heaven could not have taken a more Go<|ly.woman from a dying agony to a peaceful immortal rest. Surely the Angels themselves will rejoice with praise and thanksgiving for hay ing recently tabulated on their perfect book the name of such a great soul. To sum up her bles sed chnraeteriatica would require a'long complicated process. Howr ever, we know her obviously, by her faithful work to her family, community, and church, her simple life, for her self-sacrific ing spirit, her immortal Ihlluenco and especially for hor optimistic" .look in face of limited means and dpnortunitiea. i "Judson," as she is called, even though she had been" dying sfnoo mldniglit, would not" give up hope. The godd om soul, near the time for her departure said: "Lower the shades,. I'm afi'aid I'll take Icold." But a far gi'cater sntis- fnetloh-and blessedness is tho hope and conaolatioi\ she has In being whore the air will not be too cool; it •will be serene and element-to her .soul for, time eternal. • Sho will undoubtedly be where the rilr is at/the same temperature'all tKe time.
