"I was about to give the same guess [as to the person for
whom Blanch, North Carolina was named], although I didn't
know that Blanche Moore's father had run the post office.
Blanche Moore was a cousin of my grandmother's, Lydia Anne
Watkins, and they were very close. I remember visiting
"Cousin Blanche" as a child when she lived in the house the
Moorefields own now. She was quite a lady, and Blanch can
be proud to be named for her! My grandparents built the
house in Blanch that Wayne and Linda Bray now own, and they
raised a family of 11 children. After he turned his dairy
farm over to a son, my grandfather also ran the post office
and train station there. It was before my day, but have
heard many stories of the "hobos" who road the trains
during and after the depression and stopped in the area. My
grandfather bought some beautiful pieces from peddlers who
rode through (former shop owners who had lost all but their
merchandise). Some of those things have been handed down
through the family."

The Association [Caswell County Historical Association] is
most grateful to those who contributed to the furnishing of
the Jailer's Quarters. Especially appealing was the Mebane
collection of handmade and decorated baby-garments and
other age costumes as well. The most outstanding article
shown in the Children's Room was Mrs. Mebane's flannel
petticoat. Obviously it is a genuine antique because the
owner, Edna Watkins Mebane, is 101.

Query whether his name really was Dee Gee Watkins or
whether he was Daniel Gunn Watkins, Jr. and called "D. G."
There was a Mr. D. G. Watkins who served in World War I,
was poisoned by nerve gas (mustard gas), was thereby
disabled, and lived on Main Street in Yanceyville in the
1950's with the John Lewis Satterfield, Jr. family. Whether
this is the same person has not been confirmed, but it is
likely. Note, however, that one source states that Dee Gee
Watkins "luckily escaped [World War I] without being
wounded or gassed." See: Caswell County in the World
