                    JOHN DAVID PEGRAM PAPERS
                        Initial Inventory

Abstract:      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 David
           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 David
           Pegram's professional career.  Also included are a few
           family letters, 1880s-1910s, and family photographs,
           ca. 1900s-1930s.
