Ramseur has been home to these white-faced Herefords since the early 1950s, when C.E. Moser and his father bought the 400 acres of farmland. Today, Moser’s children continue the family tradition, and raise cattle here as well. • Photo by @sarawhitebox⠀

Great Chester Webster jar from MESDA’s collection. I love the reddish purple color of the clay, and his sgraffitto bird decoration. Oh and the shape. Here’s the info about it on their website (which also has a good picture of the back side): “This salt-glazed jar is attributed to potter Chester Webster when he worked in Randolph County, North Carolina. An incised number 5 on the jar denotes the approximate capacity of the jar. An incised decoration between the two handles depicts a bird carrying a banner with the date 1850. Two handles were placed on opposite sides along the shoulder in order to make what is often referred to as “lug” handles. Made in a wood-firing kiln, the lighter brown color and drips seen on the jar are from a culmination of wood ash that collected on the jar, then melted to make the uneven appearance... MAKER: Born in 1799, Chester Webster was one of several family members who were employed at pottery factories in the Hartford, Connecticut area. Chester Webster moved to North Carolina in 1827, likely joining his brother Edward in Fayetteville before moving to Randolph County. The 1840 census in Randolph County shows Chester Webster and brother Timothy Webster in residence there. Chester Webster did not purchase any land, and was likely working with members of the Craven family in their pottery operations. By the 1850s, Chester Webster was working with Bartlett Yancy Craven, the son of Solomon Craven. B.Y. Craven, as he was known, ran a general store, for which the account book from 1853-1869 survives in the collection of Duke University. Chester Webster appears in the account book for various credits from his work, including making pottery and being credited by the gallon of ware thrown on the wheel. In 1857, Chester made between 3 and 4 cents per gallon. Quincy Scarborough noted that in September of 1857 a note was made for Webster’s work, “that he had turned 1215.75 gallons, averaging 173.68 gallons on each of the seven days he worked.”

November 2017 I walked across the stage as Miss Randolph County for the last time. Clearly (as evident by the pouring of tears), I had a very special year serving the Asheboro community and the Kiwani’s Club of Asheboro. Saturday night a new Queen of Randolph will be crowned and will be welcomed into the sisterhood... who will she be?
