>From Microfilmed records of Death Certificates available at the Camden Archives & Museum, 1922 Greenwood Co, SC Cert # 17317 Arthur Rufus Dean, Sr. White, Male, married b. June 30, 1847, SC Age: 75 years, 5 mo., 2 days Father: Aaron Dean Mother: Martha Bland d. Nov. 23, 1922, Pine St., Greenwood, Greenwood co., SC Cause: Arteriosclerosis; myocarditis; dysentery Buried: Greenwood, SC Undertaker: H. B. Ellis Informant: A. R. Dean, Jr. Comment: I had typed into my file the dath date of Nov 22 rather than Nov. 23. I have it sourced to John Buzhardt gedcom, August 1, 2000 <jbzhrdt@cox.net> and states it is from tombstone. This is in conflict with the info. from the death certificate. [Now which one of us made the transcrition error? or is there an actual difference. My grandmother's birthdate is one day off on the tombstone because my aunt gave it that way.] I'll recheck the death cert. next week, if someone will recheck the cem. records. Could be in a book copied wrong, or wrong on tombstone?? This is how I have him attached: Direct linage to Arthur Rufus Dean Sr. 1 William Simeon DEAN, Sr. b: November 02, 1765 in NC d: July 14, 1830 in Edgefield Co, SC Burial: Dean Cemetery, Edgefield Co, SC . +Nancy BRYANT b: June 09, 1765 in SC m: Bef.

Additions and corrections are most welcome!!! H. B. Ellis funeral home has been bought out by Harley Funeral Home. However, they have all of Ellis' records in an upstairs room. My Mom and I went up and sat and went thru the earliest ones, and found some good info. I found the maiden name of two of my early ancestors using their records, from records recording deaths prior to the requirement of death certificates in SC. Harley Funeral home Record Book #2: 1921-1923 Lists A. R. Dean Sr. as son of Aaron Dean and Martha Bland. His residence was given as Pine St., and he died at home. A wonderful project for someone would be to go thru these old records and extract the data! Billie
