From the front page of the Hickory Daily Record, March 30, 1920

Make Handsome Gift

Students of the Hickory high school, sympathizing with Lum Gaston, janitor of the building, have presented him a purse of $14.20 as a mark of their interest in him and as an expression of their regret in the death of his wife, Lillian Gaston. Lum brought the statement to the Record office today with the request that it be published. He is deeply appreciative of the interest of these students and of hundreds of friends, both white and colored, in himself and his family. The amount of the contributions by grades follow: Eighth, $4; ninth, $4.15; tenth, $3.70; eleventh, $2.35.
