Having seen a previous posting on the Orangeburg list pertaining to the problems w/reading obits online at The State newspaper (Columbia, SC) , I was alerted to this letter in today's paper (see below). I hope more of us will write management and implore them to return to posting all obits each day on line. Of course, I'd prefer they'd make them available for a week at a time before charging, but the $$$$$$ seem to rule the day. Pity. Obits are SO important to genealogical research. A few years ago The State eliminated family members of the deceased by did restore that feature after a lot of folks complained. Maybe we could make some headway with this corrent problem! Here's their address and policy: Letters on timely topics may be e-mailed to stateeditor@thestate.com, faxed to (803) 771-8639 or mailed to Letters to the Editor, The State, P.O. Box 1333, Columbia, S.C. 29202. They should be concise and legible. Please do not send e-mail attachments. Please sign letters and include your address and daytime phone number. Letters will be edited. We do not guarantee publication. Following is a copy of the letter in today's paper. ~~~~~~~~~ Posted on Tue, Apr. 09, 2002 Obituaries Should Be Available Free Online I'm sure The State's powers that be have a good reason for removing the obituary information from its online service, but what is the reason for charging to read it the next day? If it is available online for a fee, why is it not available the day it's reported in the paper? What is the point of having any information online if you are going to suggest one go buy a paper from a rack to get the "rest of the news." Please don't make me resort to purchasing The Post and Courier. TAMARA BOLDING Hanahan

This person, William Jennings Bryan Dorn, was a pallbearer in a couple of my relatives funerals. Can someone tell me his lineage? I certainly believe he is intermarried into my family. Thanks.

That lady was correct. The old Confederate Hospital was on Confederate Avenue there in Columbia. The hospital on Divine Street (Garners Ferry Road) was there for World War veterans originally. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Vinesett" <vinesetr@bellsouth.net> To: <SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 12:21 AM Subject: Re: [SC] Confederate Veterans' Hospital > Hello Listers: > The Veterans Hospital information is as follows: > William Jennings Bryan Dorn > Veterans Hospital > 6439 Garners Ferry Road > Columbia, South Carolina 29209-1639 > > This is the official name and correct address of the > hospital.

There use to be a Confederate Veterans Home just about two blocks from the SC State Hospital and I believe it was located on Confederate Ave.which was to the left of the State Hospital. I know that it was still being used in the 1950's as we lived in Veterans Housing across Colonial Dr. from the State Hospital. I don't know if it is still there or not, but you might check with Archives and History and they may be able to tell you where the records are being kept. Hope this will help. Anne

Pat, I'm not familiar with the hospital myself, but there may be someone at http://www.scscv.org/ There are a lot of sons of confederate veterans who monitor this site and may know something of it.

Sadly, the Confederate Veterans Home at the corner of Confederate Ave. and Bull Sts. was torn down, I think in the early 1970s.

Does anyone have anything on Isola Bird? I have a picture of my great great uncle David Jefferson Griffith and Isola Bird. This could be in Edgefield, Lexington or Newberry area of SC. He looks to be in his 70's and she looks to be in her 20's. Therefore I am guessing that the picture was made around early 1900's. Appreciate any help on finding out who she was and her relationship to Uncle David. Hope oldgoat@mindspring.com
