    "I was about to give the same guess [as to the person for
    whom Blanch, North Carolina was named], although I didn't
    know that Blanche Moore's father had run the post office.
    Blanche Moore was a cousin of my grandmother's, Lydia Anne
    Watkins, and they were very close. I remember visiting
    "Cousin Blanche" as a child when she lived in the house the
    Moorefields own now. She was quite a lady, and Blanch can
    be proud to be named for her! My grandparents built the
    house in Blanch that Wayne and Linda Bray now own, and they
    raised a family of 11 children. After he turned his dairy
    farm over to a son, my grandfather also ran the post office
    and train station there. It was before my day, but have
    heard many stories of the "hobos" who road the trains
    during and after the depression and stopped in the area. My
    grandfather bought some beautiful pieces from peddlers who
    rode through (former shop owners who had lost all but their
