CHEBAW
Near the Confederate Monument in
the family enclosure is the grave of
ROBERT KENDALL
i
He came to Che raw from near
"Wadesboro and was a prominent merchant
He was Mayor of Cheraw in
1S58 at the time the town hall was
built While the building was In
cotfrso of construction a tornado
came and blew it down, filling Second
street between where the hall now is
and the Cheraw Hardware store, with
the debris. It was during his term
as Mayor that the Carolina Central
Railrbad was built This road is now
the Seaboard from Wilmington to
Charlotte. The railroad people made
a proposition to come by Cheraw if
so much money should be subscribed.
The Mayor turned the proposfition
down without even submitting it to
the Council, consequently the road
went via Hamlet, Rockingham and
Wadebsorq and virtually dug a ditch
aiound Cheraw, cutting off its most
l*ro?itable trade. If the road bad come
via Cheraw the town would probably
be as large as Charlotte by this time.
Mr. Kendall died In Columbia a few
years ago at the house of his sou, Dr.
Francis D. Kendall.
