Dr. Allen Gunn Property (Yanceyville, North Carolina)
In 1943, Giles Powell Jones (1910-1985) sold to his mother Sarah (Sallie) Hundley Lipscomb Jones (1869-1952) for $6,500 the Yanceyville property that had become known as the Methodist Church Parsonage. This was earlier known as the Dr. Allen Gunn house. The deed is attached. Click on the image for a larger version. Note that Giles Powell Jones purchased this property from the Yanceyville Methodist Church Trustees, which had purchased it from Mrs. Nannie Graves Neal Bustard and husband John Bustard. She is Nancy Graves Womack Bustard (1858-1926), who married John Bustard 1920 in Yanceyville, North Carolina. She also is a granddaughter of Bartlett Yancey, Jr. (1785-1828). Her first husband was Louis M. Neal (1853-1904) who built the store that became The Caswell Theatre in Yanceyville. Giles Powell Jones was in Texas when he conveyed the property to his mother. As this was 1943, query whether he was in the US armed forces.

"Judging Tree By Its Fruits"
There was a big dining under way at Captain Jack Wiggins' home. His wife and sister-in-law, granddaughters of Bartlett Yancey, distinguished son of Caswell, locked horns in the course of conversation, in a dispute as to whether or not their deceased father, Tom Womack, wealthy planter in his day, was a man of energy. Captain Jack was appealed to as arbiter of the delicate family issue.
"Well, ladies," said the Captain, who was never timid or bashful even in the presence of his wife, howbeit she usually got the best of him in all family encounters, "the old gentleman was pretty feeble when I first knew him, and I can't say about his energy, but one thing I do know -- he raised two of the damndest laziest daughters ever raised in this country."
Then the fireworks started. The disputants forgot their dispute and ganged up on Captain Jack. The old gentleman had busted a hornet's nest!

Mrs. Nannie Womack Bustard wife of John Bustard died at 10: 15 o'clock last night at her home 136 West Main Street after an illness lasting over a year. She had been bedridden for several months. Three weeks ago she began failing rapidly and since then had been in serious condition.

Mrs. Bustard was first married to Lewis M. Neal, of Caswell. Some years after his death or on September 8th, 1920 she was married to Mr. Bustard in Yanceyville, since which time she had made her home in this City. Early in life, Mrs. Bustard joined the Yanceyville Presbyterian church and maintained her affiliation with it throughout the latter years. She was actively interested in the church's work during her residence at Yanceyville and on moving to Danville maintained contact with it and its congregation.
Mrs. Bustard is survived by her husband and the following step-children: John Bustard, Jr. and James Bustard, of Danville, Clark Bustard of Norfolk, Maitland H. Bustard of Washington, and Miss Agnes Bustard of this city. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Sallie Wiggins of Yanceyville.
The funeral will be conducted from the West Main street residence at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon after which the remains will be taken to Yanceyville and interred in the old family burial ground where a commitment service will be held at three o'clock.

"The handsome residence of Mrs. Nannie W. Neal, which is located on West Main Street, has been recently purchased by the Yanceyville Methodist church, to be used for the parsonage. The house will be vacated this fall."
Greensboro Daily News (Greensboro, NC), 4 August 1920.
This is the home of Nancy Graves Womack Neal (1858-1926), who in 1890 married Yanceyville merchant Louis M. Neal (1853-1904). His store was in the building that became The Caswell Theatre.
The house was built by Dr. Allen M. Gunn, M.D. (1807-1884), and after serving as the Yanceyville Methodist Church parsonage, became the home of the Jones family.*
The photograph above is not associated with the newspaper item. However, it is when the house was the Yanceyville Methodist Church parsonage.

* A few years back this house was demolished, after being allowed to fall into substantial disrepair. It had a secret room under the front entrance. I (Richmond S. Frederick, Jr.) observed this room before the house came down. The purpose for which it was used is not known.
