Mr. Benjamin I Moffitt, a pioneer merchant and manufacturer of Randolph County died at the home of Mr and Mrs E.H. Morris in Asheboro Thursday. Mr. Moffitt was one of the oldest citizens of the county, being about 88 years. His grandfather, Charles Moffitt, a native, of Londonberry, Ireland, was the founder of that family in. the Province of North Carolina. Coming to America a young man, he made a pioneer settlement in Randolph county near Buffalo Ford, where the family lived for many years. Benjamin Moffitt was the youngest son of Hugh and Margaret Needham Moffitt. After his father's death Mr. Moffitt remained with his mother and assisted in the work of the farm, during which time he acquired a good education in the local schools. He taught school in Randolph county for two terms, after which he took up a business career, beginning as a clerk in Dr. Foust's store at Coleridge and then in 1854 he came to Asheboro as a clerk in the store of Dr. J. M. Worth. He then set up business for himself as a general merchant. All of the merchandise at that time was hauled by teams over the roads from Fayetteville. In 1876 Mr. Moffitt was one of the organizers of the Franklinville Manufacturing company at Franklinville. For twenty-seven years he was secretary and treasurer of this corporation. He resigned in 1903 and has since enjoyed a well earned retirement. Mr. Moffitt was married twice, the first time to Miss Martitia E. Baldwin, a native of Mississippi.
