Excerpt from the Long Ridge Letter dated February 10, 1890

Mr. James H. MOORE, of Tarboro, the brother of Mrs. W.F. MORRIS of this place, accompanied by his son, the agreeable Mr. H.H. MOORE, spent several days here, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W.F. MORRIS.  Many friends welcomed them to this their old home and much regretted to see them take their departure and we hope they will, ere long, visit again the place where a welcome ever awaits them.
