This Week in Catawba County History

November 14 - 20, 1921

Every week, Local History Librarian, Alex Floyd, takes a 100-year dive into Catawba County’s past through the magic of newspaper archives. During that time period, our local newspaper was called the Catawba News-Enterprise and was published on Tuesdays and Fridays. Here is an excerpt from November 15th and 18th: 


The Rhodes Room, located at the Main Library in Newton, is the home of our Genealogy and Local History Collection. The Rhodes Room is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm. For more information, visit the Main Library in Newton or https://www.catawbacountync.gov/library/gen/
