Comments:

Addressee of letter is unidentified, but 
likely a member of the Sutton family. 
Mr. Wooten may have been Council S. Wooten, 
who handled much of the legal business and 
paperwork for the Bucklesberry Suttons.

J. M. Hollowell (1939) wrote, "Away back in 
the late forties and fifties there was quite 
a little village at Everettsville, six miles 
south of Goldsboro, on the A. C. L. railroad. 
My recollection is that there was a dozen or 
more families there and it was a tony place. 
I expect it contained as much wealth as any 
village of its size in North Carolina in those 
days. Among those who resided there...D. B. 
Everett..."
