        part in disposing of Liberty Bonds and carrying out other government emergency projects. He was a
        friend of the schools and a staunch advocate of the Boy Scout movement. No man in Lenoir County
        was bettter known or more highly esteemed than "Lam" Mewborne. In his passing the community
        loses a valuable citizen and an upright Christian gentleman. He was a member of a prominent family
        and extensively related.

  90. iii. JOHN FRANKLIN MEWBORNE was born in Lenoir County, North Carolina, in 1911. He married
        Stella Mallard; Collection of Frederick Lee Edwards, dec.
         John and Stella are great favorites of this compiler. John spells his last name MEWBORNE - an e
        on the end of the name indicates a Republician and John was a Republician when no one else owned
        up to being one. One of the most interesting tidbits in this entire family is that the births of John, his
        father, and his grandfather took place in three different centuries. The odds of that happening is
        extremely small. No issue. There are numerous clippings for this family in the Collection of Ima
        Mewborn.
