Crouse and the Last Year of World War II
Today is Veterans Day, a day set aside for all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. In 1945, while the gins still ran, the churches held services, the stores stayed open, and families went about the daily work of Crouse, the Lincoln County News carried short notices about sons and daughters of the same households who were overseas. The names that appeared in those columns belong to the families whose houses, farms, and businesses have filled earlier installments of this series. The war news and the community news arrived in the same paper.

There are 40 active permits around Mecklenburg County where Adams Outdoor and Lamar Outdoor either intend to cut trees or have already. The Plaza Midwood site is one of those places.
