Finds Ancient Deed
LaGrange Woman Has Document 
Signed by George III

(Special to the Observer)

   LaGrange, July 1 --- Mrs. Simeon Wooten while looking over the effects of 
her late husband, a prominent citizen who died recently, discovered an ancient 
deed granted by King George III of England on February 22, 1764.  The document 
was a grant for 200 acres of land in Dobbs County, afterwards partitioned into 
Lenoir, Wayne, Greene and other counties, to Philip Stone.  It bears the 
signatures of Arthur Dobbs, "Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief;" R. D. 
Caswell and Thomas Rutherford, secretary to the Governor.  The seal of the 
Crown is stamped on beeswax.  All the writing and printing is clearly 
legible.  The old instrument is highly valued.
