Woodwork -- Appalachian Region, Southern

This feed bin was made by woodworker Jesse Stalcup around the 1910s. A useful barn or shed item for storing animal grains, this feed bin shows lots of wear. The bottom of the bin has been replaced and it appears that the legs have as well. An inked or painted inscription on the back of the reads, "From JB Stalcup A. A. H Waynesville NC" Jesse Bryson Stalcup (1860-1931), born in Swain County, N.C., was the son of Thomas Belew Stalcup and Charity Jane Stalcup. The family lived near Whittier on Conley's Creek where Jesse grew up as a skilled carpenter. In 1881, Jesse Bryson Stalcup met and married Alice Florence Kelly. They had eight children and lived in several western N. C. locations. Jesse himself worked as a carpenter, millwright, and Baptist preacher.
