History

The last wreck damaged the depot which led to its demolition. An urban myth developed that he had been denied treatment and allowed to bleed to death, because of his being black, but eyewitnesses, including one of his fellow doctors who was at the hospital, have testified that nothing of the sort happened, as detailed in the 'Raleigh News and Observer'. Many people moved from family farms to the community around the mill. A village known as Trollinger's Ford grew up around the mill. When Moore died, George Swepson was charged with the crime.
