Davie County Sheriff C.C. Sanford - served two terms from 1874-1880
Calvin Cowles Sanford (1843-1929) was one of Mocksville's most prominent businessmen. Born in Davie County at County Line, Mr. Sanford enlisted with the Confederate Army in March of 1862. After his military service ended in 1865, Sanford returned to Mocksville and taught school in Farmington for 2 years before becoming a store clerk for Brown Brothers Store, which he then took over and operated as C.C. Sanford and Sons Company. Married in 1872, C.C. Sanford had eight children. He passed away on March 6, 1929 and is buried in Joppa Cemetary in Mocksville. Around 1880, C.C. Sanford bought the Howell-Brown-Sanford house, which still stands at 537 Salisbury Street. Also on the property is the original building for the Mocksville Academy, which was chartered in 1827 and for which Sanford later served as a trustee.
