The Percy B. Ferebee Endowment Fund was created under the will of Percy B. Ferebee for educational, charitable and benevolent purposes.  Ferebee, a native of Elizabeth City, moved to Western North Carolina in 1913 after his graduation from North Carolina State College to work for the U. S. Forest Service.  He settled in Andrews and devoted a great deal of time and energy toward the economic needs of Andrews and Cherokee County.  His desire was to make Western North Carolina a better place to live.  Ferebee was a former State Senator, Mayor of Andrews for a number of years, and served as President of Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Andrews for 40 years.  He died Dec. 30, 1970 at the age of 79.
