MyReporter.com What’s the real story behind the “hanging” in the old meat packing plant at Navassa?.

Local legend has it that the plant closed in the 1920s after the owner was found hanging in the plant.

Mayor Eulis Willis of Navassa, who wrote a book about the Brunswick County town’s history, did a little research and found there was at least a little truth to the story. However, it doesn’t look as if anybody was hanged there.
