NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for MARCH 1869 , APRIL 1869 and MAY 1869 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 5, 1869 TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN H. WILSON, Dec'd A meeting of the Abbeville Bar was held on Friday the 25th ult. for the purpose of paying a suitable tribute of respect to the memory of J.H. WILSON, dec'd, one of its most eminent and honored members. The following preamble and resolutions were then offered by Gen. McGowan and seconded by Thos. C. Perrin and after appropriate remarks by those gentlemen, and by the Messrs. Thomas Thomason and A. Burt, were unanimously adopted: John H. WILSON, one of the oldest, most distinguished and best beloved members of our Bar, after a stroke of paralysis and a painful affliction induced thereby, departed this life on the night of Thursday, the 25th inst. in the 65th year of his age. Born near this village, reared at work upon his father's farm, after maturity engaged in the active business of the law, in our midst and in the enjoyment of the confidence and love of all who knew him. He has been suddenly taken from us forever. But yesterday, he occupied his seat at this Bar, pleading for justice for his clients with expectations as eager and hopes as warm as those of any of us. Now that seat is vacant, that earnest voice is silent. He has departed from among us, leaving nothing but the example of the life of an honest man and the memory of his many virtues and loveable qualities. This sad event touchingly teaches us how vain and foolish are the struggles of ambition, how short is life, how certain and sudden is death and as another has most beautifully expressed it, "what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue." John H. Wilson was emphatically a Lawyer. He had an exalted opinion of his profession, which indeed was his idol. Never having been married, he gave all the energies of his active life and sanguine temperament to its arduous and manifold duties. He was in the strongest sense of the word, a Southern man. From his cradle to the grave he never had an impulse that was not Southern; his temperament, his sentiments and his principles were eminently Southern. The pitch and whole frame to his character, with his lofty integrity, unselfishness devotion to right in the abstract and unshrinking moral courage, marked him as one of that peculiar type of Southern gentlemen which, unfortunately, is now rapidly passing away. As a man and a friend, Mr. Wilson was inferior to nobody. Simple in his habits, firm in his opinions, and upright, consistent and unswerving in his conduct; industrious and economical; yet not parsimonious or even thrifty; he cared nothing for money except for its uses; an honest man, kind, considerate and amiable, but above all, generous, "a hand open as day for melting charity." Descended from Scotch-Irish parents, he had all the prudence of the one people, together with the enthusiasm of the other. As a friend he was faithful through evil as well as good report. Perhaps his distinguishing characteristic was indomitable perseverance, persistence involving fidelity; fidelity to truth, fidelity to principle, fidelity to sentiment and fidelity to friends. A truer man in every sense never lived. Deeply impressed by the sad event of the death our brother John H. Wilson, and having a high appreciation of his character, we, the members of the Abbeville Bar, as a feeble expression of our feelings and as a testimonial of respect for his memory, adopt the following resolutions: Resolved, that in the death of John H. Wilson, the profession has lost one of its most distinguished and beloved members, and the county, one of its best and most public spirited citizens. Resolved; that as members of the Abbeville Bar, long and intimately associated with our brother Wilson, we lament his death as only those can who knew his virtues well, and care as only those can who knew the extent of the loss sustained. Resolved; that we sincerely condole with the immediate family in the irreparable loss which they have sustained, and that a copy of these resolutions be furnished them as an evidence of our respect and sympathy. D.L. Wardlaw, Chairman ---------- OBITUARIES DIED, at his father's residence near Willington, Abbeville district, on February 8th, 1869, Albert Alexander LEROY, aged 16 years. The death of this dear youth was caused January 21st by a tree falling upon him and breaking both bones of his left leg, just above the ankle. He seemed to bear the pain which usually attends broken bones with great patience; but lock- jaw followed, which soon terminated his brief career upon earth. His last hours were thence of intense suffering, but still, he did not forget the teaching and training of his early childhood, for he was often heard to whisper a prayer to the Lord to have mercy upon him as a sinner. His father noticed this and then followed one of the most touching and affectionate conversations ever witnessed; the weeping father thus addressed his dying son: "My dear son, trust in the Lord and He will have mercy upon you. He will be good to you, better than I ever have been or ever can be. Do you think and feel if it is the Lord's will to take you away from us that you will go to Heaven?" To which his dying son replied, " I hope so, and I hope you all will meet me there." The young sufferer continued to pray and exhort all to pray and to meet him in Heaven, until death prevented utterance. ----------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 12, 1869 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Probate Whereas, Gilly F. BOZEMAN has made application to grant him Letters of Administration of the Estate and effects of John W. BOZEMAN, late of said county, deceased; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of said deceased to appear in the Court of Probate to be held at the Abbeville courthouse on the 23rd day of March next, at 11 o'clock to show cause if any, why said Administration should not be granted. This 8th day of March, 1869. Wm. Hill, Probate Judge, Abbeville county -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 26, 1869 DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN We regret to announce the death of Mr. R. LEROY, an esteemed citizen at his residence in Mt. Carmel in our district. Mr. LeRoy (or King as he was commonly called), was of Huguenot descent but passed a long lifetime in our district, universally esteemed and respected. He had attained the good old age of three-score years and ten, and met the last enemy with Christian hope and resignation. He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his loss. ------- ESTATE OF JOSHUA DuBOSE, dec'd Pursuant to an order of the court in Chancery, all creditors of the estate of Joshua DuBOSE, dec'd, are hereby notified to present and prove their demands on or before the twenty first of June, next, or be barred. Matthew McDonald, C.C.P., March 21, 1869 ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, APRIL 2, 1869 OBITUARY OF MARTHA CALHOUN BURT DIED, on the morning of the 27th of March last, after a long and painful illness, Martha Calhoun BURT, wife of Hon. Armistead BURT, in the 58th year of her age. Mrs. Burt was the daughter of William CALHOUN of the Calhoun settlement in the district of Abbeville. She was of that family which came early to this region and being distinguished among their neighbors, gave their name to the locality where they lived. Mrs. Burt was born and raised in Abbeville. After she married, her husband being a lawyer in practice in this village, she resided here until Mr. Burt was elected to Congress in 1842 after which event she spent much time in Washington City, where she lived near her uncle Hon. John C. Calhoun, until Mr. Burt voluntarily retired and returned to Abbeville. After residing several years at Orange Hill plantation on the Savannah River, Mr. Burt returned again to Abbville where Mrs. Burt died, and amidst a large concourse of sympathizing friends, was buried at the cemetery of Trinity church, Sunday last, Easter Day. One by one, the lights of the past are going out and it is painfully certain that the tendency of the times exclude the probability of their places being filled. Mrs. Burt was an accomplished lady of the old school. Sprung from a family dinstinguished for wealth, intelligence and position and possessing high personal qualities, she was educated before the age of economists and calculators. She united the highest breeding with the utmost frankness and cordiality of manner. No mistress was every kinder to servants and dependents. Always particularly affable to the young and inexperienced, she was the leader in every circle in which she moved whether in the quiet, refined society or her native district, or among the dintinguished orators and statesman, who were delighted to surround her in Washington. This community will long retain the impress of her brilliancy and culture and her friends will never forget her many virtues and warm hearted friendships. After an unbroken companionship for more than forty years, her death leaves her husband desolate indeed; but that desolation may be alleviated by recalling the devotion of the departed one, and by the consciousness of a life time spent in unceasing efforts to make her comfortable and happy. For many years, a consistent member of the Episcopal church, in her last illness she gave evidence of a well founded hope beyond the grave; and as they were united in life and united in the church, the bereaved husband may look forward to a happy reunion hereafter. A Friend ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, APRIL 16, 1869 OBITUARY OF D.C. MOORE On Thursday the 8th inst., a large circle of relatives and friends were called to mourn the death of Capt. D.C. MOORE of this district, caused from congestion of the bowels. He died at the residence of his brother A.W. MOORE near Cokesbury in the 36th year of his age. He gave a hearty response to the sound of the tocsin for our loved and lost cause. Having volunteered as a private and afterwards advanced to the command of his company, he unremittingly verified in each position his principles in the great struggle. Always a man of generous disposition and liberal heart, the writer having shared his troubles and a recipient of his kindness, will be pardoned for offering this feeble tribute to his memory. An Old Soldier Friend -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, APRIL 23, 1869 OBITUARY OF Miss Mary PURSLEY Departed this life on the 22nd of February 1869, Miss Mary PURSELEY in the 74th year of her age, after an illness of two weeks. The deceased united herself with the M.E. Church while in the prime of life and was a very consistent member to the day of her death. She leaves two aged sisters to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope of meeting her in Heaven. ------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Probate Whereas, Wm. A. MOORE has made application to grant him Letters of Administration of the Estate and effects of Docitheus C. MOORE , late of said county, deceased; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of said deceased to appear in the Court of Probate to be held at the Abbeville courthouse on Friday, May 7th next, at 11 o'clock to show cause if any, why said Administration should not be granted.

NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for JANUARY 1869, and FEBRUARY 1869 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JANUARY 8, 1869 DEATHS IN ABBEVILLE "Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to wither at the north winds' breath, and stars to set, but all thou's best, all seasons for thine own, O Death". Sunshine and shadow, smiles and tears, joy and sadness, anticipation and disappointment, chase each other through the varied scenes of life, but naught is exempt from the common doom, and all await the inevitable hour. "The paths of glory lead but to the grave." In an hour when we least expect when our joys are brightest, when our desires are warmest, when our anticipations are most buoyant, death comes to sit an unbidden guest at our feasts; comes to snatch away our loveliest and our noblest, to lay low all hopes of human enjoyment, to sever all ties of human affection, to lay his icy hand upon the bounding pulse of life, to quench the light of our hearths and our homes, to steep our souls in sorrow, and to deck the halls of festive mirth in the habilaments of woe. Alas, the smiles of our merry Christmas greetings have been changed into the tears of sympathy for the afflicted; the ivy and the holly have given place to the cypress and the myrtle, and instead of happy reunions around the tables of love and the hearthstone of affection, many have been called to bid the last adieu and to perform the last sad rites at the graves of the departed. These thoughts involuntarily come upon us when we think of the deaths which during the last two weeks, have carried anguish to the hearts of all, and desolation to the homes of some of our people. In our last issue we announced the death of an accomplished lady, the survivor of a gallant soldier, the center of an admiring circle, the light of a happy home, Mrs. J. Foster MARSHALL. A protracted illness had given the premonitions of her approaching end, but the buoyant spirit long kept back the ebbing tide of life, and the resolute will detained long the fluttering soul on the confines of the grave. Chastened by suffering, purified by affliction, and sustained by the consolations of an unfaltering trust, she calmly breathed her last. Her body sleeps near the grave of him she loved so well, and amid the flowers and shrubs of the beautiful church to whose erection and support they had so largely contributed to. Scarcely had the tidings of this sad death been received, when the startling announcement was made that another victim had fallen a prey to the destroyer. The old and middle aged had been spared and death had entered the charmed circle of youth. The lovely wife in the bloom of life and in the first flush of its glorious hopes, had been snatched away from the companionship of a devoted husband and the happy home circle, of whom she was the solace and charm; and the anguish of a heart broken consort, and sorrowing relatives, derives a pang of keener poignancy from the suddeness of the bereavement. On Christmas Day, the advent morn of the blessed religion which she professed, Mrs. Jas. W. FOWLER breathed her last, sustained by its precious promises and cheered by its unfading hopes. Why weep, bereaved relatives! This is consolation enough. This extracts the sting of death and overcomes the victory of the grave. Young, lovely and attractive, she had everything to make life desirable, but cheerfully resigned them all, with the full assurance that the graces which budded here would bloom better in a serener clime, and that the love which had its beginning here, would burn more brightly, fast, by the eternal throne. The funeral services of Mrs. Fowler were performed by Rev. D. Turner on Sunday the 27th in the Presbyterian church of the village. There was a large attendance of sympathizing relatives, friends and acquaintances. ---------- DEATH OF JOSEPH F. BLACK Jr. It is with pain that we record the death of this gifted young man, which took place at her mother's residence in the upper part of the district on Sunday last, from hemorrhage of the lungs. He had long been suffering from a pulmonary affliction and well knew that his days were numbered, but his cheerfulness never forsook him, and his brilliant, active mind, his quaint humor, his quick eye for the ludicrous, his kindness of heart, his affability, his gentleness of temper, endeared him to a large circle of acquaintances. For some time past he had been in the office of his uncle, James A. Black, Esq. in this village, and here he found exercize for and manifested the admirable business capacity which formed a promiment feature of his character. It was here that we renewed with him the acquaintance of a former period, and learned to esteem and regard the blended harmony of his intellectual and moral character and to admire that uniform suavity and cheerfulness with which he rose superior to the ills of life, resisted the inroads of disease, and calmly prepared to meet the last enemy, death. Being educated by his uncle at the State Military Academy, his studies were interrupted by the call to join the Army in defense of the coast in 1864. Here, amid the exposure and privations of camp life, he contracted the disease which so soon hurried him to the premature grave, quenced the fire of his youthful genius, blighted the aspirations and disappointed the hopes of his earlier years. At the Academy, he had manifested no ordinary capacity and was regarded as his Professors as one of its best Belles Letters scholars. An occasional contributor to the press, his productions in prose and poetry gave evidence of his capacity, taste and cultivation and foretold how much he might have accomplished, had his life been spared. But it was otherwise ordained by Him, "whose judgments are unsearchable and His ways past finding out." Eager to live, he was not afraid to die. A member of the Presbyterian church, a sincere and pious Christian, death to him was a release from pain, and an entrance into a brighter and purer life. --------- MARRIAGES Married in Savannah, Ga. on the 24th of Nov. by the Rev. Geo. Allen at the residence of the Hon. Wm. LAW, Mr. George ALLEN Jr., and Miss Isabel LAW. Married by the Rev. J.H.D. McRae at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. P. BOUCHILLON and Miss Delia A. SMITH, both of Bradford Co. Va. --------- OBITUARY OF MRS. CECELIA FOWLER "And her last fond lingering look is given, to the love she leaves and then to Heaven, As if she would bear that love away, to a purer world and a brigher day." An apt illustration of these touching lines was furnished at the closing scene in the life of Mrs. Cecelia FOWLER, the beloved wife of Mr. James W. Fowler of Abbeville district and the daughter of Dr. A.W. and Mrs. Frances CHALMERS of Newberry district, who fell asleep in Jesus on the 25th of Dec. 1868 in the 27th year of her age. Her lustrious eyes and cheeks of rosey hue and robust form, and gleesome spirit, gave bright promise of lengthening years. But yelding to the primeval decree, "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth", she sank beneath the exhausting throes that so often emperil the life of woman. Reared in the bosom of the Associate Reformed Church and a member of it from girlhood, she was sustained in the final conflict by faith in the Saviour, to whom she had so early learned to love. To her agonized husband she said, "My love, I could wish to live for you, but I am ready to go." Her last words were, "Jesus, I am coming." "So pass the beautiful away." The funeral services were performed on Sabbath in the Presbyterian church by Rev. Dr. Turner, in the presence of a sympathizing congregation. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JANUARY 15, 1869 MARRIAGES Married by the Rev.

A.J. McKEE, Thos. CRAWFORD, Executors. -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JANUARY 22, 1869 DEATH OF JAMES AUGUSTUS BLACK It is feelings of profound sadness that we announce the death of one so known to us all, James Augustus BLACK, Esq., who died of pneumonia in Columbia, South Carolina on Tuesday the 19th inst. Only a few weeks since, we were called upon to chronicle the death of his gifted nephew, Joseph F. BLACK Jr. who was nipped in his budding promise, like some fragile flower, which had yet scarcely sipped the morning dew. And now the Uncle is taken in the prime of manhood and in the vigor of his faculties, taken from the business and bustle of active life; from its absorbing cares and engrossing interests, to meet the changed scenes and untried realities of the spirit land. About a week ago he bid us adieu on a visit to Yorkville to arrange his business as asignee in bankruptcy, with the accumulated papers of weeks of daily labor and nighly toil, prepared with his accustomed neatness and fidelity, with his credentials as representative from Abbeville to the Legislative body in Columbia, with the account of the district officers, and charged with various commissions from friends. We can bear witness to the untiring assiduity and kindness of heart with which he undertook the discharge of these offices of duty and friendship and the fidelity and promptness which he brought to their performance. But alas! Death came to release him from earthly engagements, to sunder all ties of human affection and to blast all hopes of worldly ambition; to afford another lesson of the fraility of life, the transitory nature of its enjoyments and the vanity of its anticipations. We have not the materials, neither would time permit us at present to enter upon an extended biography of our departed friend. He was a native of our district and here survive a mother, a brother and sister and other near relatives to deplore their untimely loss. He was of distinguished Revolutionary ancestry, a grandson of Joseph BLACK, for many years a state Senator from Abbeville and one of a numerous family long identified with our district and state. Enjoying the advantages of an excellent early education, he studied law in the office of Chancellor Caldwell of Columbia and soon found congenial employment and full scope for his habits of systemic arrangement and methodical industry in the Secretary of State's office. His familiarity with the records of that office and his excellent business capacity led to his selection as the Agent of the State in prosecuting its Revolutionary claims against the General Government and but for the breaking ouf ot the war, these claims would have been fully adjusted. During the war he was elected to the honorable and responsible office of Comptoller General, the duties of which he discharged efficiently and faithfully. Losing in the general wreck his office and his books, and the well earned fruits of many years of labor, he returned to his native district to repair his shattered fortunes among the friends of his boyhood. During the past twelve months he resided here as the general assignee in almost all the cases of bankrupty from our district; and to say that these duties were promptly, faithfully and efficiently performed, is paying but a feeble tribute to his untiring business capacity. Our deceased friend possessed in an eminent degree, all the characteristic traits of his family, quickness of perception, retentiveness of memory, an instinctive appreciation of character and a just sense or propriety, kindness of heart, equitability of temper, and great suavity of manner. To honor the language of Mr. Burke, in speaking of his great rival Mr. Fox, "He was a man indeed made to be loved." Few men indeed in all the state possessed a more extensive acquaintance and throughout the length and breadth of that acquaintanceship, among all who had had personal or official business with the deceased, we do not believe that a man ever lived who could say an unkind thought or say one word against the memory of James Augustus Black. On the contrary, how many survive who could only entertain for him sentiments of the kindnest and most appreciative regard, a friendship cemented by the kind offices of a lifetime, a charity the most beneficient, a devotion the most unselfish. Ask the sorrow stricken mother if there ever lived a kinder or devoted son. Ask the bereaved brother and sister how much they owe to the generosity of that hand and the sympathies of the heart. Ask those young relatived to whom he was the confided counselor, and the trusted friend, whether he ever turned away from their appeals for sympathy and advise. The funeral of the deceased took place at the Presbyterian church in Columbia, on Thursday, the 21st inst. ---------- NOTICE My wife, the late Mrs. Charlotte IRVINE and myself have separated. There was a marriage settlement between us by which each was to retain their own property. Therefore, I give notice to all, that my wife is not my agent and has not right to make contracts to bind me. Those who credit her must do it on the faith of her separate property. G.W. CROMER, January 6, 1869 --------- Cicero MUSHATT, a native African, supposed to have been one hundred and ten years old, died last week in Winnsboro, S.C. He remained until death with his former owner, Mr. J.S. STUART. He said some time ago that freedom had not made a fool of him, as it had in the case of many negroes, for he had been free before and was born free in Africa. During the last year of his life, by unremitting industry to the day of his death, he made two bales of cotton, doing all the hoeing and picking, also twenty bushels of corn, more than many younger men in their prime. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JANUARY 29, 1869 MARRIAGES Married on the 12th inst. by the Rev.

She lived and died a zealous member of the church and was an example of piety. Fair in all the relations of life, she was diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; was an excellent wife, kind mother, neighbor. Though for years much afflicated, she was ever patient and resigned and when the messenger came, she had her lamp trimmed, burning. She leaves six children, a number of grand and great grandchildren and many friends to mourn their loss. But their loss is her eternal gain. " Dearest mother, thou hast left us, Here our loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God who has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When day day of life is fled, Then, in Heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed." --------- DIED, near Cokesbury, S.C. on Feb. 1st, 1869, Mrs. Nancy Mitchey HEFEERRON (?), aged about 75 years. During the last fifteen years of her life she bore the lot of a suffering invalid with Christian patience and resignation. In age and extreme feebleness she found the Savior precious to her soul and died trusting in Him. A Friend. --------

There is so much rich history in them. Does anyone have more info about General N.G. Evans whose obituary was given? Was he related to Nathaniel Evans who married Edith Godbold in Marion County. S. Carolina? Thank you. Freda "DEATH OF GENERAL N.G. EVANS THrough a private letter received by his relatives in our district, we regret to hear of the death of this gallant officer, Gen. N.G. EVANS, at Midway, Alabama, on the 23rd ult., after a short time, in the 45th year of his age. He leaves a widow and four children, and other relatives to mourn his loss. Gen. Evans was a man of no ordinary capacity and his serene courage and quick, clear military judgment, were exhibited on some of the most brilliant battle fields of war. Distinguishing himself in the conflicts with the Indians on the frontier, he received a sword from the State as at testimonial of her appreciation of his services. His quick realization of the situation at the first Manassas and the inflinching courage with which he stayed the course of defeat in the early hours of that eventful day, his brilliant success at Leesburg, stamp him as a man of true military genius.

A gallant soldier of the Confederacy during the late War, he returned at its close, broken in health, and during the three years of subsequent suffering through which he was called upon to pass, he exhibited the same patience, courage and constancy with which he endured the privations of the field.

In 1842 he was appointed Minister Plenipotontiary to Mexico and afterward he published a very interesting book about that country and his mission. His title of General was obtained in the militia service and he had passed from the stage of active life before the War which made such titles more plentiful.

William, from the HIstory of the Barmore Family, Sallie Barmore, the second daughter of William Barmore, married William Braden, They emigrated early in life to Tennessee. She died soon after their emigration -- left five children, three sons and two daughters. Her sons did active service in the Confederate army. Francis, her third son, died a few years after the war from the effect of a wound received while in service for his country. The last account we had of Sallie Barmore Braden's descendents, there were four children and several Grandchildren. (History of the Barmore Family, Miss N Jane Barmore, 1890) So you may have to look for them in Tennessee. Also, In the early days in Abbeville County, many of the burials were in small family plots on the property and we are still finding some of them. Some we will never find.

NEWELL of Abbeville District, aged 47 years. He fell a victim to a chronic affliction which he had labored from since early childhood. Though unsound in body, he never shrank from the labors of the farm nor did he refuse to obey the call of his country during the late War. Of a quiet and kind disposition, he made few enemies and had many friends. He had been a member of the Upper Long Cane church more than twenty years and was a regular in his attendance upon its services as health permitted. Knowing that he could not live many years, he "lived mindful of death" and was ready when the summons came. Not five minutes before he breathed his last, he spoke calmly and confidently to his old pastor of his trust in Christ and of his anticpation of a home in Heaven. He has left a widow with eight children, an aged father and mother and two widowed sisters, besides numerous other relatives to mourn their loss.

After a brief illness she passed away Wednesday night, like some bright visitant from the heavenly land, who came to gladden us but for a moment; and the heart stricken mother, the bereaved sister and the sorrowing relatives and friends are left to mourn their untimely loss. A universal favorite, she had endeared herself to all, by those thousand winning graces which made up the loveliness of childhood, and which borrow a deeper interest from the promise which they give of the full blown development of the ripening future. But alas, for the vanity of human expectations, the fragile flower has fallen! Yet blest consummation of the Christian's hope, the opening bud has been taken to bloom in a serener sky. Why grieve, sorrowing relatives? Death is but the portal of happiness and relieved from its chain, the pure spirit soars, "Where seraphs gather immortaility, On life's fair tree, fast by the throne of God." "With songs, let us follow her flight, and mount with her spirit above, escaped to the mansions of light, and lodged in the Eden of love." The funeral services will be held in the Methodist church of this place at 9 o'clock this (Friday) morning. ------- DIED, in Abbeville district, S.C. on Monday the 17th of Aug. 1868, after a short illness of thirty-six hours, William O.

He was a useful citizen in the community; a warm friend to the widows and orphans; a kind and affectionate husband and a liberal supporter of the Gospel. He leaves a wife, an aged mother and many relatives to mourn their loss. His last words to them were "Put your trust in the Lord and He will never forsake you. Dearest friend, farewell." --------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, application has been made by Nathan A.

He leaves a young wife and three children to mourn his untimely loss. ------- DOUBLE MURDER We learn that a most atrocious double muder was committed last Monday night, at Lowndesville, upon the persons of a white man named CORNELL and a negro who accompanied him. The white man was from the neighborhood of Athens, Georgia and was traveling through the country in a two-horse wagon with a couple of mules attached and was engaged in selling wool hats. They were in our village a few days before and proceeded from here to Lowndesville, where they encamped on Monday night. A short time before the occurrence, a party of mounted men, apparently black and white, were seen to go in the direction where the men were encamped, and a number of shots were afterward heard. When found, the bodies of the white man and the negro were tied to a couple of trees at some distance from each other and were perforated with many bullets. The mules were missing but the wagon and the contents were undisturbed. An inquest was held over the bodies, but no clue has been obtained as yet which could lead to the discovery of the murderers. Their motive is supposed to have been plunder. --------- EXTRACTS FROM W.F. DeKNIGHT's REPORT OF FREEDMAN BUREAU AFFAIRS in Abbeville County for the month of August 1868 "My report of outrages by whites against freedman exhibits 18 cases in which violence was resorted to, but it is safe to presume that not one half of such cases that occur are ever heard from. Last April, Wm. BRADLEY, colored, was shot in the leg by Tyler LOGAN, white. Geo. MATHEWS, freedman, living on Mr. Chipley's place, having complained to me that Irving HUTCHERSON, white, the latter's nephew, had, while displaying a pistol, taken him to task for being a Republican. On the 29th of July, Geo. Mathews was shot by Hutcherson, while at work in his employer's field, for making the complaint, the ball being still imbedded under his left arm. Chipley, hearing the report, on going out, found Hutcherson on the spot, but let him walk off. The next day, on complaint being made to me, I had the requisite warrant issued here and placed in the hands of the Sheriff. Three days after, the officer sent out a Deputy, who returned and reported that Hutcherson had left and although he was at the time in the neighborhood, where he continues to be seen, and still threatens to kill freedmen, and notwithstanding I have even threatened to indict the Sheriff, nothing whatever has since been done. On the night of the 25th, Alfred ELLIS, colored, was, without any cause, shot by Lee RUSSELL, the Town Marshall, on the streets, with an express desire to kill him, and still on complaint being at my direction to Squire McCORD of this place, he got the parties to make up the difficulty. It will be seen by my report of outrages for the month, that in the case of the shooting of Henry SHIRD, freedman by Dennis STACY, white, no arrest has yet been made and I may add, in all probability, never will be. The 17th case reported is that of the killing of Wylie JONES, an old freedman, by some white person unknown, on the night of the 25th about two miles out from Cokesbury. It appears the intention must have been to kill his son-in-law for whom he was mistaken, who has taken a somewhat active part in the ranks of the Republican Party. The old man hearing a horseman approaching his son-in-law's house, where he was staying, and thinking it must be some friend of his who had passed by in the early part of the evening, whom he wished to see, he got up and went to the door, where he was immedately shot and hit in three different places, with buckshot, his assailant at once making off. He lingered but a few moments after and then died of his wounds. I do not know that any particular person is suspected as having committed this foul deed, and of course nothing is being done to ferret out the murder. The 4th of September, Jeff BUCHANAN, a freedman, was shot dead by Wm. TOLBERT, white, about 12 miles from Abbeville. He was shot in the fields, I presume at work. No particulars as yet and no arrest. ---------- OBITUARY OF ALEXANDER STEVENSON DIED, at his residence in this district, on Friday last, the 25th ult., from jaundice, after an illness of two months, Mr. Alexander STEVENSON, in the 66th year of his age. The deceased was one of our best citizens, and was universally esteemed and respected for the integrity of his character, the kindness of his heart and the blamelessness of his life. For more than thirty-six years he had been a member of the Baptist church and had adorned his profession by a "holy walk and conversation." Death had no terrors for him, but in confidence and Christian resignation, he breathed his last. The kind father and affectionate husband, the sincere Christian, the worthy citizen, he discharged faithfully the duties of life and died in full assurance of a blessed immortality. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." He leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, OCTOBER 9, 1868 AN ATROCIOUS MURDER It becomes our painful duty to announce the commission of an atrocious murder on the afternoon of Monday last, about for miles from the village, on the person of James MARTIN, familiarly known as "Sneak" Martin, a member of the so-called South Carolina Legislature. We know nothing of the actors in this bloody tragedy, or of the motives which led to its commission. We only know that Martin had been represented to have recently made certain inflammatory appeals to the blacks, and that having in his possession at the time of his death, a barrel of whiskey which he was taking home, and might have been suspected as about to use for improper electioneering purposes. These may have led to the commission of the murder. Be the case as it may and however bad may have been the character of the deceased, we give but expression to the voice of this community, in denouncing the act as a cowardly assassination which deserved general reprobation. The facts as developed upon the inquest which was held on Tuesday morning before Esq. James McCaslan are as follows: Martin had left the village riding a mule and accompanied a wagon in which were two negroes and a barrel of whiskey. On the outskirts of the village the whiskey was divided with some parties in interest and the party then proceeded on the road to Calhoun's Mills. They were soon after joined by a third negro, who accompanied the wagon on foot. About four miles from the village after the wagon had turned out on the main road for the purpose of avoiding a steep hill, the wagon was overtaken by three men on horseback, who, dismounting, ordered the negroes to surrender their arms and the whiskey, and promised not to harm them. They said the same to Martin who immediately dismounted and began retreating to the rear of the wagon. Two of the men pursued him and when he commenced running, they discharged their pistols, but as the negroes testified, with apparently no intention of hitting him. The fact that he received no ball in the back, confirms this view. The two men re-entered the wagon and with the third, filled their bottles with whiskey and emptied the rest on the ground. Whilst engaged, the sound of a pistol shot was heard but as Martin was then out of sight of the wagon, the testimony of the negroes could throw no light upon the fact of the killing. One of the negroes testifed that he had seen two men in the rear of the wagon and Mr. Sprouse who lives on the road, testified that five men had passed his house that day, following after the wagon. Martin was discovered first by a negro woman, Affy, who lives near. He was lying on the side of the road with his feet in the ditch and gave evidence by marks in the road, of having dragged himself, or having been dragged. He said to the woman, "Oh, Lord, I am shot"; he said he was shot by three persons, but did not know them. The shot entered his groin, cutting an artery and he died thereafter, very soon. His pocket book was taken and also his pistol, which according to the testimony of his wife, he had with him. The negroes had pistols but were not deprived of them. Such are the facts as detailed on the inquest. --------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, application has been made by A.J. FERGUSON for Letters of Administration on the goods, chattels, rights and credits of Champion D. PALMER, late of said district, dec'd; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of said deceased to appear before the Court of Ordinary, Abbeville district, to be held at the Abbeville courthouse on the 20th day of October 1868, to show cause, if any, why said Letters should not be granted.

Hill, O.A.D. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, OCTOBER 30, 1868 DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN We regret to annouce the death of Mr. Andrew GILLESPIE, an esteemed citizen of our community, who died at his residence near the village ont he 24th inst. in the eightieth year of his age, and after suffering long from a chronic affliction. He had survived most of his contemporaries and was the sole representative of the old settlers of the neighborhood. He had been for many years a member of the Presbyterian church and was distinguished for his exemplary deportment and faithful discharge of duty in all the relations of life. Pained by suffering and chastened by discipline, he welcomed death as a release from pain and an entrance into a blissful immortality. The funeral services were performed by Dr. Turner at Sharon church. ------- DIED, near Abbeville courthouse, S.C., on the 6th of Oct. 1868, Mrs. Susan C. PENNEY, wife of Wm. H. PENNEY and daughter of Samuel BROWN of Anderson, S.C. This lady had been a member of the M.E. church for two years and died as none but the Christian can die, in triumph. --------
