My 3rd great-grandfather was William Wesley TAYLOR b. 1824 in SC. d. 1897 in Perry Co., AL. I have not been able to find his parents but my guess is that they would have come from somewhere around this area since many of the Dutch Fork and surrounding area migrated to Perry Co. in the 1830's. Do you know if Richard Ivey had any brothers who might have had a son that would fit the age of William Wesley TAYLOR? Thanks in advance for your input.

NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for MAY 1866, JUNE 1866, JULY 1866, AUGUST 1866 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MAY 4, 1866 DEATH OF BENJAMIN P. HUGHES We regret to announce the death of Benjamin P. Hughes, one of our most highly esteemed citizens, at his residence near the village on Friday night last. His death resulted from a sudden attack of paralysis, though his health for twelve months past had been quite feeble and the vigor of body and mind had been impaired by the anxieties attendant upon our late financial and political disasters. Mr. Hughes was a native of Anderson district, and removed to Abbeville about twenty-five years ago. He was engaged in teaching for several years and in 1848 formed a connection with Mr. John White, one of our prominent merchants, which continued until the interruptions of business by the events of the late War. During the War he received appointment and discharged the duties of Confederate States Tax Collector of Abbeville district. Mr. Hughes was a man of excellent business capacity, of good judgment and active habits, practical, systematical and energetic. Honest, sincere and courteous in his dealings with his fellow men, he had endeared himself to a large circle of friends and died universally esteemed and respected. For many years he was a member of Upper Long Cane church and his last moments were cheered by the consolations of the Christian faith. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JUNE 1, 1866 OBITUARY OF REV. CHRISTIAN V. BARNES The Rev. Christian V. Barnes was born in Abbeville district, S.C. on December 8th, 1794 and died of Dropsy near Lowndesville, S.C. on February 22nd, 1866. He joined the Methodist E. Church in early life and soon became a prominent member. He was licensed to preach it is supposed, about 1830; was ordained Deacon by T.A. Morris in 1837 at Athens, Ga. and ordained as an Elder by Bishop J.O. Andrew at Cokesbury, S.C. in 1843. He was married three times; first to Ann P. Gunnion by whom he had nine children; then to Mrs. Elizabeth Furr and last to Miss S.M. Carn, his now bereaved widow. Brother Barnes was faithful in all the relations of life; an affectionate husband, a fond parent, a humane master, and a kind friend to the poor and destitute, especially the widows and orphans. He was earnest and persevering in whatever he undertook. In religious matters he was fervent in spirit. Being strongly attached to the doctrines and usages of the church of his choice, he earnestly sought to advance her interests. As a local minister he labored zealously, often traveling 25 to 35 miles to preach on Sunday, after working hard all the week. His last illness was protracted and painful. Sometimes his sufferings were almost insupportable. But not a murmur escaped his lips. He was patient and resigned. "The Lord", said he, "let him do what seems good. My sufferings are awful but his promises are sure." When asked about his funeral, he said "I want brother Mouzon to preach my funeral sermon. He will find the text in 1. Cor., XV C, 55, 56 and 57. Tell him to dwell on the glorious victory through our Lord." The day before his death his wife said to him, "If it were the will of God to take you from me, do you feel that all would be well with you?" He raised up both hands and said "yes, yes, yes, my faith is strong in my Lord and Saviour. Hold on to him by faith, and meet me in Heaven." Thus passed away this good man. --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JUNE 8, 1866 SAD ACCIDENT We regret to announce the death of Mr. Preston Belcher, under circumstances peculiarly painful. On Friday night last, he had retired to his room at the residence of a brother-in-law Mr. Robt. White, about two miles from the village, and whilst handling a loaded pistol, it was accidentally discharged, the contents passing through the center of his stomach. He lingered in a hopeless condition until Saturday night, when death supervened. The deceased was a son of James Belcher, in the bloom of youth, and leaves many relatives and friends to deplore his untimely death. ------- MARRIAGES Married on Thursday evening the 30th of May by Rev. W.L. Pressly, Mr. Thos. Hutchison and Miss Lizzie E., the daughter of Hugh Wilson Sr., all of Anderson district. ------ ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE All persons having demands against the estate of Dr. James Morrow, deceased, will present the same duly attested and all persons indebted to said estate will make payment to the undersigned. Robert McCraven, Adm'r Janett Morrow, Adm'x June 8, 1866 ------- FINAL NOTICE All persons having demands against the estate of Alexander Austin, deceased, will present them to the subscriber on or before the 1st of Dec. next, as a settlement of the estate will then be made to the Ordinary's Office of Abbeville district, and no claim will be noticed afterward. J.H. Austin, Executor June 2, 1866 ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 6, 1866 MARRIAGES Married on the 21st ult. by Rev. W.R. Hemphill, Mr. John W. Alvis of Appomattox Co. Va. and Mrs. Carrie Seawright of Due West. S.C. Married at the residence of J.R. Black, on the evening of the 4th of July by th Rev. W.A. Gaines, Dr. John Bell and Miss Lucinda J. Tribble, all of Abbeville district. ----- DIED, on Sabbath evening, June 24, 1866, Mr. B.W. Marshall in the 30th year of his age. Mr. Marshall was a native of Nashville, Tenn. but shortly before the War he removed to Texas. When the call was made for volunteers to defend our rights, he was one of the first to respond. He became a member of the 5th Texas Reg't and served his country faithfully until the surrender. He was a subject of dyspepsia and its concommitant chronic diarrhea for a long time previous to his death. About the time of the surrender he came to Abbeville with a friend on a sick furlough, with whom he had been associated with in the Army, and where he lingered for months with one of his chronic attacks. There, he found a home in one of our kindest families, where he received the untiring nursing of its female members and neighbors, which, with the attention of his physicians, and the blessing of Divine Providence, was blessed with his restoration to health. He returned to Nashville for a brief time to visit his friends, but finding the limestone water of that region an injury to him, he returned to Abbeville where he married an estimable wife, but only lived a few brief weeks to enjoy her society. Mr. Marshall came among us a perfect stranger, but it is believed that no stranger ever made a more favorable impression on an entire community than did he. It is believed that he died a Christian, and has gone to a Christian reward. May God santify his death to the good of those who so kindly cared for him in life. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 13, 1866 MARRIAGES Married on the 10th inst. at the residence of the bride's mother, by Rev.

NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for MARCH 1866 and APRIL 1866 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 2, 1866 DEATH OF REV. CHRISTIAN BARNES We regret to announce the death of Rev. Christian Barnes, a well known and esteemed citizen of our District. He died at his home in the vicinity of Lowndesville and was buried at Sharon Church on Friday last. He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his loss. -------- We regret to learn that the residence of Mr. James Baily Jr., a well known citizen of Greenwood, was burned on Wednesday the 28th ult. The furniture was saved though much damaged. The fire was accidental. ------- SAD ACCIDENT AND SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ROBERT W. WILSON The uncertainty of life and the mysterious dispensation of Providence, in removing the young and vigorous from the sphere of useful industry, received a striking illustration in the recent sudden death of Mr. Robert W. Wilson, an esteemed and skillful millright of our community. While engaged on Thursday last in repairing the mill at Calhoun's Mills, his leg was crushed by a large rock which rendered amputation necessary. Though receiving every attention and the best medical skill, he sank under the shock and died on Saturday. The deceased was a member of the church, was of high moral character, of steady and industrious habits, and by his skill and energy was making successful progress in life. As an affectionate son and brother, he was the cherished support of a mother and sisters, whilst his amiable disposition endeared him to a large circle of friends and relations. His remains were interred on Sunday last in the Episcopal grave yard with Masonic honors. -------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, Hugh Wilson has made application for Letters of Administration of the goods, chattels, rights and credits of Robert W. Wilson, deceased; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of the said deceased to appear before the Court of Ordinary to be held at Abbeville courthouse, on Friday the 16th day of March next, to show cause, if any, why said letters should not be granted. This 26th day of Feb. 1866. William Hill, O.A.D. -------- DEATH OF JAMES C. SPROULL Died at his residence in Bartow county, Georgia of consumption, on Jan. 12, 1866, James C. Sproull, aged 49 years, 8 months and 14 days. The deceased was born and resided in Abbeville district, S.C. until he removed to Bartow county, Ga. Few men enjoyed the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens as did this truly good man. Large minded, in every sense of the word, he gave his time, talents and means to every enterprise looking to the good of the community; while the afflicted and distressed found in him a ready sympathizer and friend. No man had a higher appreciation of the joys of domestic life; or called forth more fully, the entire devotion of the family circle, than did this Christian husband and father. Death is sad in every earthly point of view. It dissipates the brightest and best of human hopes and dissolves the tenderest ties of human affection. Our whole nature recoils at its touch, and shrinks appalled from the cold, fixed silence of the grave. But alas, when we shift the scene and regard it from a spiritual standpoint, when we behold mortality putting on immortality, we can exclaim, "oh, death, where is thy sting." For then, as we consign the loved and lost ones to the tomb, 'tis sweet to remember: "Nor pain, nor grief nor anxious fear, Invades thy bounds, no mortal woes, Can reach the peaceful sleeper here." ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 9, 1866 MARRIAGES Married on the 1st inst. at Lexington, S.C. by Rev.

Creswell and Mrs. Margaret Young, youngest daughter of Mr. A.J. Weed, all of this district. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 16, 1866 DEATH OF ESTEEMED CITIZEN; MR. ROBT. ELLIS We regret to announce the death of Mr. Robt. Ellis, a well known and esteemed citizen of our district, at his residence near Due West, on Saturday last the 10th inst. The disease was dropsy, the result of an organic affliction. Mr. Ellis was an estimable man in all the relations of life, a good citizen, a humane master, a kind neighbor, a good friend, charitable, liberal and public spirited. His death is a public loss. He leaves many relatives and friends to deplore his death. -------- TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THOMAS J. CLATWORTHY At a regular communication of Washington Lodge No. 74, A.F.M. held on the 13th day of January 1866, the following Resolutions were adopted: Whereas, we have heard with unfeigned sorrow that our beloved Bro. Thomas J. Clatworthy has been removed from the level of time to that undiscovered country from whose borne no traveler ever returns, thereby inflicting an irreparable loss on our Lodge. The loss of a truly and worthy brother, one who possessed many noble traits of character, calculated to render his esteem as a man and useful as a Mason. Therefore, be it resolved; That in the death of Bro. Clatworthy, this Lodge has been deprived of one of its most useful members, and the community of a good and respected citizen. Resolved, that we deeply sympathize with and tender our condolence to his bereaved wife and children in their sore affliction. Resolved that the furniture of the Lodge be clothed in mourning for thirty days and that a page in the Secretary's book be dedicated to his memory.

Wardlaw, were deposited in the family burying ground of the cemetery attached to Lone Cane Church in Abbeville district. The deceased died on the 9th day of July, 1865 in the city of Savannah, Ga. from brain fever, brought on by exposure to the sun and heat of that climate, after his constitution had been much impaired by long confinement as a Prisoner of War. The burial with funeral services took place far from his home and away from those who were dearest to him, but we feel that angels hovered over the spot where were laid the remains of one whose spirit, we trust, that had already borne away to the regions of never ending bliss. He is brought back to be sown again in the soil from which he drew his nourishment, and not to perish, but to still live in the hearts of his people. If we venture a few words upon his character it will be only to narrate some of those traits which were most apparent, and to pass over virtues which in him were abundant. These belong to the mourners whose names he bore, to them they are sources of comfort, and too sacred to be touched by other hands. >From his earliest years, expectation was excelled and the development of his moral and intellectual character, though passing through varying forms, increased this impression. He won and retained affection, that he was always sustained by friends while often he gave evidence of that which warranted their confidence and commanded respect. His temper was ardent and full of generosity. He was affectionate, earnest and sincere; reserved, but when won, warm and faithful. His character was regulated by the highest principles of honor and from these he did not swerve. He revered religion and showed the effect of its influence. The promise of much was given him and many perils and obstructions were thrown in his path; overcoming and surmounting the latter, he was reaping the full fruits of the promise. This memorial cannot do justice to the deceased, but is only a humble tribute to the memory of the worthy son of a good father, to the lost hopes of a noble family which has contributed so much to our country and sacrificed so much in behalf of right; a tribute to a brave soldier, and a slight impression of the sentiment of surviving comrades. These remember well his valuable services, his noble bearing, his enthusiasm, and at the same time, his cool and commanding courage in the terrible victories of the last year of the Army of Northern Virginia. May his family pardon these expressions which may serve only to awaken their sorrow; for while availing ourselves of the right to speak of one who did battle for his country and belonged to it, we do so with heartfelt sympathy and with the earnest prayer that the bereaved may bring their hearts to utter to Almighty God, "Thy will be done." For in these words of faith there is won a more than mortal victory. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 23, 1866 MARRIAGES Married by the Rev. Y. Young at the residence of the bride's father near Hodges Depot, Mr. R.S. Anderson to Miss Letitia McCord, all of Abbeville district. ------ OBITUARY OF Sgt. W. TULLEY NORWOOD "Man's inhumanity to man causes countless thousands to mourn." No people can testify to the correctness of this expression more than those of our own stricken land. Throughout our whole country has this melancholy fact been confirmed during the late destructive war; but none have felt its blighting force more than the worthy family of this gifted young patriot who is the subject of this humble and incomplete tribute. Lvce, such as one soldier has for another and such as only soldiers know, bide me furnish an epitome of his many virtues, but my pen is inadequate to the dictates of an ever bleeding heart. Sergeant W. Tully Norwood, the last son of Dr. W.C. Norwood, whose remains were deposited in the family burying ground of the cemetery attached to Long Cane Church on Friday, the 2nd inst. by the side of his only brave and lamented soldier brother, W.R. Norwood. Sgt. W. Tully Norwood died the 25th of March 1865 at Petersburg, Va. simultaneously with the downfall of the cause for which he had given his life. The noble and heroic youth, in his feeble condition, could not brook the great disaster which was to crush all efforts in the past and hopes for the future. Hence his spirit fled with a fallen country. Fifteen cousins and two veteran uncles, one age fifty-four and the other sixty-three years, fell on the field of battle, and share with him the patriot's grave. No family during the war exhibited more devotion to the cause than this suffering one. Sergeant Norwood graduated at the South Carolina College with distinction in the year 1860. Gifted, brave, high-toned, honorable, energetic, modest and unassuming, there clustered around him the fondest hopes of brightest expectations of his honored parents and two loving and accomplished sisters. When the tocain sounded to arms, he was found in the front ranks of the first volunteers, although quite a youth and just from college, bearing the most sanguine hopes of his fond parents. The study of law was his intention, but the bud was plucked ere it bloomed to adorn the profession. He first went to the Beaufort Troops, Hampton Legion and afterward was a member of Company F, Holcombe Legion where he exhibited all the traits of a brave soldier and accomplished scholar. His coolness on the battlefield at Second Manassas, under a hail storm of shot and shell, was a subject of remark and among the thousands of patriots who fell that day, and none faced danger more readily than he. No soldier on the plains of the "Marathon" or in the pass of "Thermoplyse" was more devoted to his cause. His brave heart was as affectionate and pliant as that of the gentler sex. His health became impaired from protracted duty and exposure, but yield he would not, although repeatedly advised to by his officers and physicians, until death relieved him from his post, verifying one of his favorite expressions, "Regardless of consequences, we battle for right." When his death was announced to the Regiment, the Colonel commanding very justly remarked, "We could have better lost any man in the Regiment than Norwood." Thus expressing viva voce the sentiment of the command. A dutiful son, an affectionate brother, a sincere friend, he revered morality and religion and proved the influence of the best parental training. We feel he is at rest. A friend, March 20, 1866 --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 30, 1866 DEATH OF A GOOD CITIZEN; FRANKLIN MILLER We regret to announce the death of Mr. Franklin Miller, an esteemed citizen of our district, at his residence near Rocky River Church last Saturday week. The deceased was a native of Laurens district and moved to his district several years ago and was universally esteemed for his industry, integrity and public spirit. He leaves many relatives and friends to deplore his loss. ------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, J.O. Lindsay has made application for Letters of Administration of the goods, chattels, rights and credits of William T. Drennan deceased; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of the said deceased to appear before the Court of Ordinary to be held at Abbeville courthouse, on the 6th day of April next, to show cause, if any, why said letters should not be granted. This 23rd day of March 1866. William Hill, O.A.D. -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, APRIL 6, 1866 MARRIAGES Married on the 29th of March by Rev. C. Thomason at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Charles Watkins of Augusta, Ga. and Miss Fannie Hodges of Abbeville district, S.C. ------ NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, APRIL 27, 1866 MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT; DEATH OF ESTEEMED CITIZEN, JOHN SPEER It is with regret that we announce the death of John Speer, Esq., a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Lowndesville vicinity, under peculiarly painful circumstances. On Friday last while attempting to cross the Ford of Rocky River, in a buggy with a small boy in company, a portion of the harness gave way, and in attempting to adjust it, he fell into the swollen stream and was carried down by the current and soon drowned. The alarm was given but before help could arrive, life was extinct. Thus suddenly and sadly has this highly esteemed citizen closed his long and useful career. He had attained the extreme limit of fourscore and ten years and might have hoped to breath his last, cheered by the assiduities of loved relatives. But Providence decreed otherwise. In his death we are called upon to deplore the loss of a public spirited citizen, a man of noble impulses and inflexible principles. To his family he leaves a legacy of his many virtues, and to us all, the bright example of his honorable and useful life, a life crowned with all which should accompany old age, with honor, love, obedience, and troops of friends. --------

Dear, Connie, Thank you for the name of Mrs. Mary Daniel's first husband. Of the two Benjamin F. (Franklin) Daniel in my file, neither fits this time frame. One died in 1841, the other was born 1871. The mention of Bells Chapel is interesting since a cousin, William Daniel of Edgefield Co. (1747-1807), married abt 1777 Lucretia Bell. Curious too is William and Lucretia's not having a son Benjamin, named for her father. Or at least, I've not yet found him. I trust the information will help someone else.

White and Lewis Rich, Administrators Dec. 15, 1865 ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JANUARY 12, 1866 IN MEMORIAM OF JAMES MOORE AND WILLIAM A. ALLEN At a regular communication of Clinton Lodge, No. 3, A.F.M., held Jan. 8th, 1866, the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered to be printed in the papers of the town: Our venerable Past Master, Rev. JAMES MOORE died Sept. 25th, 1863. In chronicling this sad event, we would remember that our departed Brother was one of the Patriarchs of Free Masonry in South Carolina, identified with our order so far back in 1818 and throughout his long and valuable membership, a most zealous advocate of our principles. Under his auspices and special administration, the revival of Free Masonry in this district took place which resulted in the re-establishment of Clinton Lodge in this town in 1845. From this period until his death, Brother Moore was a constant attendant of our Lodge, cherishing to the very last a paternal interest in its welfare and prosperity. With him, Free Masonry was not made of empty ceremonials, or a mere form of Godliness without its power. Resolved, that in the death of our venerable Brother, we acknowledge the loss of a highly valued member, a just and upright man, a faithful and devoted servant of the "all seeing" God; and that we will gratefully cherish the memory of his long and consistent services. Be it also resolved, that in the death of Bro. WILLIAM A. ALLEN, our Lodge also mourns the loss of a member whose gentleness and disposition and purity of life endeared him to all as a friend and a Mason. Eminently distinguished by those tender traits of character which command themselves directly to the heart, he was universally loved for his amiable virtues and respected for his integrity. He lived purely and died happily, passing away from the symbolic light of the "Lodge below" to that "Eternal source of Light and Life and Love", in the temple not made with hands above. ----------- MARRIAGES Married on the 28th of Dec. 1865 by Rev.

Hodges, consort of R.H.W. Hodges, in the 52nd year of her age. Often have we been called to morn the death of near and dear friends, but not often has the demise of any one caused so much intense mental suffering as did that of the subject of this notice. Endowed with a kind, liberal, affectionate and affable disposition, she gained many warm and devoted friends, some of whom will ever cherish her memory with the fondest recollections. The poor and needy could always enter her dwelling with entire confidence and a cheering hope of having their wants supplied as far it was in her power to do so. A deep and genuine sympathizer with the distressed and disconsolate, she ever looked with pity and the fondest compassion upon those who called on her for assistance. And none was ever turned away from a frown or caused to retrace their steps with sorrow or disappointment. The writer had the melancholy privilege of witnessing the closing scene of her earthly existence. And while weeping kindred and distressed, sad, loving friends were gazing with tearful eyes upon her who was soon to leave them forever, their sighs and sobs and groans and tears told more plainly than words could express. And when the servants, young and old collected around the bed of their loved mistress to bid her along, a last farewell, the tears that watered her couch, the troubled look and trembling hands that grasped warmly and affectionately that of their dying friend for the last time, were all convinving evidence that they dearly loved her who was swiftly passing away. Mrs. Hodges joined the M.E. Church in 1842 about which time she professed conversion and lived, as far as I know, the life of a Christian from that period on until the time of her death. She was asked repeatedly during her lillness if she felt that she was prepared to die, when she always answered in the affirmative; said she saw her way clear to a brighter and better world. As calmly as fades the light at close of day, did her happy spirit wing its everlasting flight to a bright and blissful home in Heaven. --------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, R.A.

NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for DECEMBER 1865 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, DECEMBER 8, 1865 CAPTAIN HENRY WIRZ LAST LETTER TO HIS WIFE The late Captain Henry Wirz, in his incomplete diary, under date of Oct. 1st, says that a man was at that time placed in his cell to prevent any attempt he might make to take his own life, but the man fell asleep. He writes that the reason he does not put an end to his existence was because what he suffered was the Will of God; and, in the second place, he owed it to himself, his family and his relatives and to the world at large to prove his innocence. As an evidence of the affection and education of Wirz, we append his letter, written just on the eve of his execution: Old Capitol Prison Washington, D.C. Nov. 10, 1865 My Dearest Wife and Children, When these lines reach you, the hand which wrote them will be stiff and cold. In a few hours from now, I shall be dead. Oh, if I could express myself as I wish, if I could tell you what I have suffered when I thought about you and the children! I must leave you, without the means to live, to the mission of a cold, cruel world. Lise, do not grieve, do not despair; we will meet again in a better world. Console yourself, think as I do, that I die innocent. Who knows better than you that all these tales of cruelties and murders are infamous lies, and why should I not say it? A great many call me hard-hearted, because I tell them that I am not guilty, that I have nothing to confess. Oh, think for a moment how the thought that I must suffer and die innocent must sustain me in the last terrible hour; that when I shall stand before my Maker I can say "Lord of those things you know I am not guilty." I have sinned often, and rebelled against thee. Oh, let my unmerited death be an atonement. Lise, I die reconciled. I die as I hope, as a Christian. This is His holy will, that I should die, and therefore let me say, "Thy will, O Lord, be done." I hardly know what to say. Oh, let me beg you, do not give away to despair. Think that I am gone to my Father, to your Father, to the Father of all, and that there, I hope to meet you. Live for the dear children. Oh, do take good care of Cora, kiss her for me; kiss Susan and Connella; do tell them to live so that we may meet again, in the Heaven above the skies; tell them that my last thoughts and my last prayer shall be for them. You ask me about Cora's schooling. My dear wife you must do now as you think best. In regard to your going to Europe, I would advise you to wait until you hear from them. I have written to my father; if he should be dead, to my brother; I hope he is still alive. I send you his address. You had better get a certificate of our marriage, also of Cora's birth and have it approved before a magistrate. If you should go to Europe, you would need it. I shall hand this latter to Mr. Schade who will send it to you with some other papers and books. This is all I can leave you; but no, I can leave you something more, something better, my blessing. God bless you all and protect you. God give you what you stand in need of and grant that you all so live, that when you die, you can say "Lord thou callest me, here I am." And now, farewell, wife, children, all. I will and must close; farewell, farewell, God be with us. Your unfortunate husband and father, H. Wirz -------- MARRIAGES Married on the 4th Sunday in October, by Rev. H.T. Spaulding, Mr. Joseph Bowen and Miss Mary Z. Crowder. Married on the 14th inst. by Rev. R.C. Grier, Mr. F.V.

No one in our district was more active and zealous in relieving the wants of the destitute, than was Mr. Wilson.

He connected himself to the church Nov. 10, 1831; was chosen to the office of Deacon on Oct. 25, 1835, and he departed this life September 1, 1865. Another prominent leaf has fallen from the autumnal branches. For years, Captain Agnew had at times been a great sufferer, but for several days previous to death there was no sensation of pain. Yet he bore it all with God-like patience and would often speak of the unabounding love and goodness of God. Thus passed away the good husband, the indulgent father, the kind master and one whom the poor always found ready to administer to their wants. If medieval skill, unwearied watching of love or tears could have availed he would not have died. "But the Lord took him." He is dead, yet he liveth. That vacant seat at Walnut Grove Baptist church which he so long and nobly filled as Deacon, will speak of his worth. His voice was ever heard on the side of truth and justice. Sons, and grandsons may the same be said of you. Let your aims be high, pure and holy. Let me say to the dear companion, daughter and friends, sorrow not as those without hope, for "he sleeps in Jesus' blissful sleep, from which none ever wakes to weep." ----------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, SEPTEMBER 28, 1865 Isaac Williams, a Virginian, has been sentenced to three years imprisonment and a fine of one thousand dollars for disregarding his Oath of Allegience. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, OCTOBER 5, 1865 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary L.D.

Oct. 4, 1865 -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of OCTOBER 12, 1865 BRUTAL MURDER OF JAMES ADAMS We regret to announce the commission of a most atrocious murder upon the person of Maj. James J. Adams, one of our most respectable citizens on Thursday morning last. The deceased was a resident of our district near Hodges Depot and left home early on Thursday morning with his gun in his hand for the purpose, as his mother supposed, of hunting turkeys. On Friday morning his dead body was found near Hodges Depot very much mutilated by an axe. There was a deep gash on the back of his head and his whole face was beaten, so as not to be well recognized. His broken gun was found hear by with which it appeared that most of the wounds were inflicted by. Upon the trees around, there was the evidence of a discharge of fire arms and the appearance on the ground of a struggle. Two negroes have been arrested and lodged in jail and against one of them, the evidence of criminality is very strong. But it is very likely that others are implicated and we trust that all will be brought to speedy punishment. Maj. Adams was one of our most peaceful and orderly citizens and sustained the character of a kind and indulgent master. He leaves a large circle of friends to lament his untimely loss. ------- DIED, at his residence in Winnsboro, Fairfield District, on the 4th of September last, after a painful illness, Robert B. Boylston at the early age of forty-three. Still as fresh as a boy, the idol of a sweet and happy home, the pride of his family and the delight of his friends, with a high social position and a gentle nature to enjoy it. Full of talent and distinguished beyond his year, with laurels, literary, professional, and political encircling his brow, he has been suddenly taken from all in the very prime of life. Verily "in the midst of life, we are in death." The writer first met Mr. Boylston in the Fall of 1838 at the South Carolina College, whither he came from Charleston, his birth place. They became classmates then and have been lifelong friends. (NOTE: the lower part of the page containing the obituary is very blurred and so poorly scanned that it is not legible). ------------ DIED, on the 18th day of September 1865, Allen Vance, at his residence in the village of Greenwood, Abbeville District, S.C. in the sixty-second year of his age. Many, very many, will hear of his death with regret. Many friends will mourn for him, but none save his wife and children and the few intimate friends who knew every impulse of his manly bosom can properly appreciate his loss. The deceased was endowed by nature with a superior intellect and fine constitution. Energetic and industrious, he passed an active and useful life. Unsurpassed in his devotion to the welfare of his immediate family, he was frank, high-toned and manly in his intercourse with his fellow men; true and sincere and kind to his friends and generous to the poor, many of whom will miss his liberal hand. Throughout his last long illness of several months duration, he evinced the greatest resignation and patience, comtemplated his death with the utmost sanctity and gave expression to a strong hope that all would be well with him hereafter; and when at last the long- looked- for summons came, relying confidently upon the promises to God's Holy Word, he resigned himself calmly to his last sleep. -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of OCTOBER 19, 1865 ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE Will be sold on THursday, the 2nd of November next, at the late residence of A.T.

Allen, Mr. Ferguson A. Fleming and Miss Esther E. Crawford, eldest daughter of John A. Crawford, all of Abbeville district. ----- DIED Hugh Waller Wardlaw died at his residence near New Market in Abbeville district, Sept. 13, 1865. He was born March 19th, 1804 and was married to Miss E.F. Waller on Dec. 29, 1853. When 17 years old he made profession of religion and was received into Mt. Moriah Baptist church of whch he continued a member until his death. For several years the deceased had been much afflicted but bore it with Christian fortitude and patience. He would often say to his beloved wife, "If it was not, my darling, for your love and devotion to me, I would rather die and be at rest. But not my will, oh God, but thine be done." The deceased was long and widely known in the district and highly esteemed for his many virtues. The poor have lost by his death a generous benefactor, his bereaved wife an affectionate husband and the good a willing and ready co-laborer. "Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee, Since God was thy ransom, thy guardian, thy guide, He gave thee, he took thee and he will restore thee, And death has no sting since the Savior has died." ------- DEATH OF JOHN R. WILSON Whereas, it has pleased an Allwise and ever merciful creator to remove from our midst by death our much esteemed and loving brother, John R. Wilson, who breathed his last on the evening of the 12th of September 1865 from the effects of Typhoid Fever. His affliction was short but to him, fatal. In the death of brother Wilson, the district has lost a noble and patriotic citizen; the community in which he lived has lost a kind and benevolent neighbor; the poor and needy always found help from his liberal hand; the widow and orphans were never sent away empty when it was in his power to bestow upon them the comforts of life. He was a kind, loving and affectionate husband and father, and last, but not least, we believe he was an honest and upright Christian. In his death, the Baptist denomination has lost a consistent member and the Little River Church has lost one of her most blessed members and one of her main and surest props, for he was ever on the side of truth and justice and was always ready to bestow liberality to all benevolent purposes pertaining to his church or any other cause. He bestowed them from his liberal hand freely and not grudgingly. Therefore, be it Resolved; that we, as a church deeply feel the loss of our beloved brother, John R. Wilson and sympathize with his bereaved widow and fatherless children, in this, their sad bereavement and irreparable loss. Resolved; that the clerk is authorized to furnish the bereaved widow a copy of these Resolutions to show to them for future reference the kind and brotherly esteem we had for their husband and father, and that they are entitled to our sympathies and prayers.
