According to a local source, this early Etowah home (owner?) stood at the present day Cummings Cove entrance on Hebron Rd, near the gatehouse. Rented in the 1960s by James and Ellen Brown Redden. Note the four chimneys.

North Carolina State Grange

Office in Statesville NC

" How We Began
The North Carolina State Grange, incorporated on February 20, 1875, was successful in various legislative activities such as railroad regulation.  Following World War I and the development of the Department of Agriculture as a strong advocate for farmers, the Grange's prominence fell slightly.  As a result of the Great Depression and a need for a greater sense of community, the Grange re-organized in 1929. By bringing isolated farm families together, it fostered community spirit and encouraged greater tolerance among people who belonged to different political parties and religious denominations.  The Grange provided valuable business training through cooperative buying and selling among Grange members.  It also maintained a lively interest in education which is evident by the fact that community and local Granges sometimes undertook the operation of primary schools and high schools.  The Grange was instrumental in the development of 4-H and Future Farmers of America.
