Their home was about three miles west of Cherryville toward Shelby, NC on Muddy Fork of Buffalo Creek. Both had only limited “old field” education. When they were married, David had no property, but he had a good mathematical mind and much business ability; so by hard work and thriftiness, practiced by both, they became helpful citizens in the community. He was engaged in farming, saw-milling and grist-milling. In his mature years, he becamea sort of “one man” banker, loaning money to those who deserved financial assistance. He encouraged his sons to enter the textile business. Both were Lutherans, having been confirmed at old Beaver Dam Church in Gaston County by Reverend Adam Miller. Their house is located three miles west of Cherryville in cleveland County on Muddy Fork of Buffalo Creek. The house is still standing but is in disrepair. |
