If so, you will find of absorbing interest this autobiographic account of the life of Grace and Gilbert Stephenson at Warren Place, Pendleton, North Carolina. After nearly 40 years of life in cities, in 1950 they returned to their native state to make their home on the plantation owned and in the residence that had been built by his grandfather. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that they have made themselves a part of their ancestral community and that they have been accepted by its people. To their neighbors and friends, white and Negro alike, they are 'Mr. Gilbert' and 'Miss Grace' not Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson.In a community in which there are 70 negroes to 30 white people, they reveal and illustrate the friendly, cooperative relationships that exist between the races.[!] ; " Gilbert Thomas Stephenson (17 Dec. 1884-9 June 1972), lawyer, banker, author, educator, and farmer, was born at Warren Place near Pendleton, Northampton County, the only child of Susan Anna Fleetwood and James Henry Stephenson. His forebears were large plantation owners in the community. He was graduated from Severn High School in 1899 and at age fourteen entered Wake Forest College, where he earned an A.B. degree in 1902 and an M.A. degree in 1904. From Harvard University he received an M.A. degree in 1906 and an LL.B. degree in 1910. Wake Forest, on whose board of trustees he served for twenty-one years, three years as president of the board, awarded him an honorary doctor of civil law degree in 1955. Admitted to the bar in 1910, Stephenson began the practice of law in Winston-Salem. He was city solicitor, judge of the municipal court, and chairman of the Forsyth County Democratic Executive Committee. During World War I he was chairman of the state war bond campaign.On 19 Dec. 1912 he married Grace Morris White. They had two sons, Thomas Wilson of Wilmington, Del., and James Henry of Baltimore, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Following several months of critical illness, he died at age eighty-seven at Warren Place and was buried on the plantation in the family cemetery."- From Dictionary of North Carolina Biography ; FINE/VG.
