Abstract | Jimmy Gibbs is the great-grandson of Rev. Dr. Meadows, who was a minister and the principal and teacher at the Cary Colored School from 1900 to 1935. Mr. Gibbs gave us a history of his great-grandfather and his second wife who was also a teacher at the school. Rev. Meadows was a traveling minister, too, traveling around the many churches each Sunday. Mr. Gibbs and his mother are donating a number of articles to the Town of Cary that belonged to Dr. Meadows. He told us the provenance of each of those items. He also provided a genealogy of the family who lived, and many who were even born in Cary, North Carolina. |
