John David Pegram of Sanford, N.C., was superintendent of the Johnson County Department of Public Welfare, coordinator for the Lee County Council on Aging, disability determination specialist with the North Carolina Department of Welfare, and coordinator for the North Carolina Council on Mental Retardation. He and his wife, Mildred W. Pegram, were active in the Methodist Church and in various service and social clubs.

Chiefly personal files, 1950s-1970s, of John D. and Mildred W. Pegram. Correspondence, financial and legal materials, clippings, scrapbooks, and other items document the activities of both Pegrams with the Methodist Church and in service and social clubs. Their interests in gardening and home repair are also reflected. There is little relating to John Pegram's professional career. Also included are a few family letters, 1880s-1910s, and family photographs, circa 1900s-1930s.
