Another obit, that of Mrs. Mary Lee Dean contains reference to a sister Mrs. B. B. Crouch of Saluda. The following obit is transcribed from a clipping found in the Scrapbook of pictures and obits kept by Ella Ruth Hazel Trotter (1905-1963), d/o John Henry & Jamesanna Timmerman Hazel, (Copy provided by Betty Trotter, May 2004) MRS. DEAN, 84, DIES At Saluda (Special) Mrs. Mary Lee Dean, 84, died at her home Tuesday after several months of declining health. She was the daughter of James Jacob and Susanna Sligh Shumpert of Newberry. She had lived in Saluda for a number of years. Survivors include one daughter, Mrs. Luther Neil Bedenbaugh of Sliver Street; one sister, Mrs. B. B. Couch of Saluda; one brother, Duffie Shumpert of Newberry. Funeral Services will be held from Bethlehem Methodist Church at 5 pm Wednesday by the Rev. Vernon Jordan and the Rev. Julian Craig. Burial will be in the church cemetery. NOTE: The obit of James M. Dean, husband of Mary Lee Dean, died before she did. His obit does NOT mention the daughter. Could she have been married before and the Mrs. Luther Neil Bedenbaugh is her daughter by a prior marriage. It is known that James M. Dean was married before to Scythia BLEDSOE.

In my haste to post a reply to Billie Jones on her inquiry concerning her unknown Roton family, I accidentally switched Pearl's name and that of her older sister (Bessie Trotter) when referring to Pearl's death. PEARL Mack Roton is the one who died 19 December 1978 at Self Memorial Hospital in Greenwood, SC. We know from Billlie's earlier post that Bessie died in 1959. My apologies for the error.

Billie, Your mystery is solved. Bessie and the sister who married a Roton are children of Lou Koon Mack and grandchildren of Katherine Witt Koon. They are in the Witt book that I and two cousins published in 1998. I worked on this family personally and I'm pretty sure I have that Roton line traced down for a generation or two. I'm not sure if I have the Roton husband's parents, but I might have a death date that will lead you to a death certificate. If my memory serves me correctly, I think some of this family was living in the Coronaca area out near Lake Greenwood when we were researching our book. I am writing from work. I will check the book and send my findings to the lists you posted to this evening. Randall Frye Laurens, SC

The following obit seems to have possibly been a minister of note, but I can find no connection to the Hazel/Trotter families and their relatives at this time. However, the Brooks name is certainly an old Edgefield Dist. surname. From age at date of birth (given), the obit was published ca 1957. From: Scrapbook of pictures and obits kept by Ella Ruth Hazel Trotter (1905-1963), d/o John Henry & Jamesanna Timmerman Hazel, (Copy provided by Betty Trotter, May 2004). The following obit is undated and the name of the newspaper is not known. The Rev. M. M. Brooks Maxey M. Brooks, 75, retired Methodist minister, died suddenly at this home in Roebuck Thursday afternoon, March 27, after a heart attack. He was born May 9, 1882 at Belton, son of the late B. B. Brooks and Sally Broome Brooks and attended school of his community, Wofford Fitting School and was graduated with an A. B. degree from Wofford College in 1911.

In the above obit of Mrs. Bessie Dorn Ouzts in 1959, his wife is mentioned as a daughter, Mrs. H. A. Gregory. These two obits allowed me to connect the two families. Saluda (special) - Hosea A.
