A Search For Our Heritage According to legend, Daniel Boone once camped at a spring about 300 feet west of the present Baptist Church. The c r o s s r o ad s settlement established here was known as Leonora. A post office was established under the name of Boon- ville on November 20, 1857. Perhaps the rea- son Boonville grew up just where it did was due to the fact that two main roads crossed here. One of these roads led from Mt. Nebo to Jones- ville, and the other one led from the ford of the Yadkin River at Crutchfield to Yadkinville.” This house, opposite Boonville Farm Equipment Company, is the oldest house in town. It was built by Dr. N. B. Dozier, the town's first doctor. It was later occupied for many years by Jacob Spencer. The oldest continuously-operated firm in town is Day's Dry Goods Store. It was started in 1894 by Foard W. Day, and inherited by his son, R. Carlyle Day in 1939. The Commercial and Savings Bank opened here in 1911. 4

Men close to the soil are close to God. The principal industry has always been farming. The people of the community today follow the example set by their ancestors in leading a quiet and unas- suming life, and in taking pride in their homes, churches, and their school. Miss Mary Lynn Coram, Class of 1964, is pictured with a cow from the herd of her father, Ralph Coram. There are many modern dairies in our community and Boonville boys and girls are always to be found among the winners at cattle shows. The growing of tobacco is still one of the chief means of income of the community. Here mem- bers of the Woodruff family are shown harvesting tobacco. The Boonville Motor Company, operated by H. J. Steelman, was the first Ford dealer in Yadkin County. Tobacco has always been a leading money-maker in Yadkin County. Jim Speer operated a sizeable tobacco factory duringthe 1890's. Employing about ten persons, he manufactured plug tobacco. He delivered it while traveling over the country with horse and buggy. Abner Davis and Isaac Shugart also manufactured tobacco in the early 1880’s. Today Yadkin County tobacco is taken to market in Winston-Salem, where many of our citizens are employed. 5
