Bits of the History of New Berne.
[Excerpt.]
Look up the street towards St. Cyprian church, near the southeast corner of the cemetery. It is said to be the highest point of land in the town -- about 21 feet above tide level.
Walking up the Neuse a few hundred yards from Queen street we pass a lot on which was at one time situated a grist mill. We distinctly recollect, when a boy, of seeing a man who had been stricken down in it by lightning, and those around him rubbing him with rum obtained from a rum distillery near to the place.
It was Mr. Benjamin Hanks, a brother of Ellsworth Hanks, Esq. of Newbern. He had then but one arm. The lightning ran down his leg and bursted out the toe of his boot.
He recovered entirely from the shock, and moved to Washington, N. C., where for a number of years he was heavily engaged in saw mills.
His father had a factory just north of the mill in which was carried on various kind of work; and only a few years before there was a rope walk west of it, and near where is now the Railroad machine shops. In it was made for our vessels and for other purposes.
