[From the Mooresville Guide for April 20, 1894: "While digging for the foundation for A.L. Wheeler's new residence on High Street, the workmen unearthed the remains of the old Fremont pole which was raised in 1856. Uncle Jno. McVey has presented us with a piece of the part found, which is in an excellent state of preservation. The pole was 196 feet high with a reed extending upward 25 feet more. John Elliott is making a gavel out of a part of it, which will be taken to the Republican state convention by J.M. Bishop, who is a delegate, and presented to the chairman of the convention."] |
