After 35 years of service to the people of Anson County, N.C., Mrs. Rosalind A. Redfearn retired on Jan. 1, 1949, and was succeeded by Mrs. George Robinson. Mrs. Redfearn began work with the tomato canning club girls of Anson County in 1913 at a munificent salary of $50 a year.
She and J.W. Cameron, farm agent, have worked together as a team since then to carry on an unparalleled period of service in the nation.
On Friday, December 31, 1948, the people of Anson gathered in the county courthouse in Wadesboro to honor the retiring home agent. It was “Rosalind Redfearn Day” in the county. More than 400 friends representing every official and organized group in Anson joined in the praises heaped upon this modest and unselfish person. She was given a beautiful silver service by her friends in the county and state. Mrs. Redfearn told them that she would always be grateful for the fine way in which they had worked with her over the 35 years and that she would continue to work as a neighborhood leader in her community.
