Hi! I just stopped by to read the history of Bakersville, NC and found a relative named in the narrative. Imagine that! I am the GGGGgrandson of John Gouge, who came to this area in the late 1790s. My Gandfather was Roy Gouge, who was the last of my line to be born in Bakersville. His father was Harrison Gouge and his father was Edmund Gouge. It's nice to see that Bakersville is doing so well! I must get there one day!

I was born and raised in Mitchell County. I attended Glen Ayre Elementary and Bowman High School. I enjoy the articles on the local attractions. I have many relatives in the area. I would like to hear from anyone who might remember me. I left Bakersville in the 1950's, but still call it home.

My husband William K. Byrd was born in Bakersville and left at age 16. He has a sister there in the area (Spruce Pine). We visit occassonally and find it so charming and refreshing compared to the stress of big cities. Let's hope it doesn't change!

I was born in bakersville in 1940. Left the area in 1958. Have been back for several visits, but have lost track of the folks I grew up with. It would be nice to hear from some of the folks I went to school with.
