Vann, A. H. (Aldridge Henry), 1880-1950.

From 1920 to 1925 a new public school building was constructed in Franklinton, North Carolina. S. C. Vann, president of Sterling Cotton Mills and local philanthropist, donated the money to build the new school. Vann also supervised the construction of the school until 1922 when his health began to decline. At that point his son, A. H. Vann, took over supervision of the project until the school's completion in 1925.
