Charles B. Gault Papers (#4969) 1865-1960

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/g/Gault,Charles_B.html

Charles Beers Gault (1911-1998), a native of Lake Waccamaw, N.C., son of Francis Beers Gault and Susie Bell LaMotte Gault, attended Fishburne Military School in Waynesboro, Va., and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill; worked for Jefferson Pilot Life Insurance Company; and served in the United States Army, 1941-1960, retiring as colonel. The papers include correspondence; postcards; military, college, and other papers; and family and military photographs. Correspondence, 1880-1960, is chiefly with family and friends discussing daily activities and family matters. Business letters of Francis Beers Gault, who owned the North Carolina Lumber Company, include one about building Flemington Hall, the family home in Lake Waccamaw, N.C. Early Charles B. Gault letters document his time at the University of North Carolina, 1931, and his work at Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, 1934-1939. Letters 1941-1945 were written during Gault's World War II service in the 25th Evacuation Hospital in Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides, and with the Detachment Medical Department of La Garde General Hospital in New Orleans, La. Postcards, 1911-1960, chiefly relate to activities of Gault family members. Military papers, 1941-1960, document Gault's military service in the United States Army and include histories of military hospitals and other units; college papers, 1929-1933, document Gault's education at University of North Carolina and at King's Business College in Raleigh, N.C. Photographs, 1906-1950s, are chiefly of Charles B. Gault, Gault family members, and military subjects.
