Rotary Industrial Committee
The Rotary Club of Yanceyville took the initiative to begin the industrialization of Caswell County. In 1938, when the club was just in its second year, an industrial committee was appointed under the chairmanship of John O. Gunn, and it reported some specific plans to the club. The result was the organization of the Caswell Development Company with Gunn, T. E. Steed, and S. A. Malloy as incorporators. When the company was organized C. C. Cole became president while T. E. Steed and Hubert H. Page were vice president and secretary-treasurer, respectively.
An intensive campaign was begun to raise funds to construct an industrial building, and with the full cooperation of the Rotary Club and other citizens in the county a substantial sum of money was raised to begin construction. Additional money was borrowed and construction was completed very early in 1939 so that the Caswell Knitting Mill opened in late February. Artie Glenn Holt of Burlington (Company Shops) had recommended this particular type of industry and he became the operator of the mill, which gave employment to around 150 people. This was a significant beginning and it was symbolic of the future.

Newspaper Article:
Four members of the Rotary Industrial Committee are pictured above, as follows: Jn. O. Gunn, chairman, upper left; T. E. Steed, upper right. Clarence L. Pemberton, lower left; Dr. S. A. Malloy, lower right. This committee, with the cooperation of the entire club and other county citizens, has been working on plans for the industrial development of Caswell county, and it is expected that an important announcement concerning this activity will be made at an early date.

The following appeared in The Caswell Messenger 2 August 2006:
Godwin's Auction Gallery has been commissioned to offer at auction, the estate (deceased) of Judge Clarence Lilly Pemberton and Anne Watkins Pemberton, who lived in Yanceyville, NC from 1940 to 2006. Judge Pemberton was a trustee of the University of North Carolina. Both he and his wife come from 300 years of old family in North Carolina. They both valued the furniture that they inherited and they collected many pieces of their own from antique sales. Specifically, there is an Empire bureau that is reported to come from Judge Pemberton's great-great-great-grandfather Captain John Thomas deJarnette (1748-1785) of Anson County, NC. There is a marble top dresser with scrolled mirror that comes from the home of his great-grandmother Mary Norcott Biddle Bryan (1841-1925) of New Berne, NC. There are various chairs and sideboards that come from her husband's family, Superior Court Judge Henry Ravencroft Bryan (1836 - 1919) (Bryan Hall at UNC Chapel Hill is named after him), his father, NC State Senator John Herritage Bryan (1798 - 1870).
