Edwin Middleton

From the "Catalogue of Cary Public High School and Farm Life School, Cary, North Carolina 1914-1915": For twelve years, from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of Professor Middleton. Under his leadership the school building grew from a one or two-room structure to a building of sixteen rooms and from a teaching fore of two or three and a small boarding patronage to eight teachers and more than a hundred boarding students.
