One of the largest farms in the county changed hands Friday when papers were filed at the clerk of court’s office conveying a part of the old David Henderson plantation on the Statesville road in Long Creek township from the ownership of W.M. Taft and wife, Mrs. Alice S. Taft, to F.J., Joe L. Blythe and Paul N.H. Ward.
The conveyance was contained in a deed that disposed of two tracts. One tract contains 110 acres and the other 100 acres. The property is considered highly valuable as farming land and is at present at an advanced stage of cultivation. For years it has been one of the big plantations of the county. The buyers will cultivate it, it is understood, on an elaborate scale. The price paid was $18,121.25.
From The Charlotte News, June 25, 1921; $18,121 in 1921 would be worth $243,365 in 2021, according to dollartimes.com.
