Four generations use local jeweler
For four generations one family has done business at Everette’s Jeweler's in Graham, with a family tree spanning back to the man who made the first purchase at the store in Jan. 1951.
In Jan. 1951, Everette Vanarsdall and his wife Peggy had their grand opening of Everette’s Jeweler's in Graham, Vanarsdall’s son Dan Vanarsdall said. Everette was in the Navy in World War II and went to watchmaker school on the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, or the G.I. Bill. He worked as a jeweler for a few other business before opening his own business in 1951.
