The table below includes both college students from Anson County. The list was generated from the NCGenWeb NC Yearbook Index website and includes approximately 200 names; mostly graduating seniors pre-1940. The database is updated on a regular basis; you can access the most updated list here.
These students had cities in Alexander County listed as their hometown. There may be other students in the index that were not labeled as being from the county, so it’s a good idea to search the database for additional people. You can also find links to the online yearbooks by visiting the NCGenWeb NC Yearbook Index website.
