I believe that the button comes from the Trinity School, of Cocowinity, during the post Civil War era. The button dates from the 1870’s to 1880's and the school reopened in 1879. Chocowinity is 10 miles from where I found it. Grimesland is on the same side of the river, and only 6 miles from, Chocowinity.
I do have an email in to the current Reverent to see if he has any records of button purchases, however I beleive the button came from this school due to its proximity.

Nice detective work there Papa Bear, congrats it's a really good artifact from your area.
Me, I would have guessed Tom Sawyer.

Thanks ZDD. I am very confident about the school connection. Either way, it is a great button to have and enjoy. PB

That School has some great History.
Thank you

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
