The dedication was conducted by Kate Barry Chapter, assisted by the Cowpens Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, The Spartan Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, and Benjamin Roebuck Chapter, Children of the American Revolution, with fitting ceremonies. The Probram: "attention" was sounded by the bugler. The REv. H.H. Gregory, pastor of the Philadelphia Church at Pauline, made the invocation, which was followed by "The Salute to the Flag", repeated by the assembly. A song, " America the Beautiful" was sung by the members of the Benjamin Roebuck Chapter, C.A.R., under the direction of Mrs. Olivia Gould... ..After the singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" the entire assembly, D.C.Gregory of Glenn Springs pronounced the benediction, followed by "taps." The little cemetery where the ceremony took place has not been used for years, the last burial having been made about 51 years ago. It lies between the present highway and the old location of the Union road, two miles southeast of Glenn Springs on the plantation now owned by Eddie Smith and known as the old Winnsmith place. The original grant from England's king had been given to Messrs. Brownlee and Bailey. This grant is the original with the coat-of-arms of the British crown and was in existenct up until a few years ago when it was lost in a fire that destroyed the home of Mrs. Mary Emily Mayes Posey, a descendant of the Wofford family in whose possession it was at that time. (after a story of Benjamin West and his dimise, the conclusion fo the article) ....Lieutenant Henry White, to whose memory the second stone was placed, entered the service along about the same time as Mr. West. His home was over on the Fairforest, now belonging to some member of the Cleveland family. According to Heitman's Historical REgister of Officers fo the Continetal Army, 1775-1783, Henry White was a lieutenant in the Fifthe South Carolina Infantry in 1777, resigning on the 22nd of January 1778. He again entered ther service in 1779 as a colonel of the South Carolina Militia and served until his death in 1782. Although Col. White did not die in action, his death was caused from a wound. He died at his home on the Fairforest, and was buried in a corner of his garden in his uniform, the bullet still in his body. The exact loction of his grave is not known as there were several other graves in the garden, all unmarked. Because of the inaccessibility of the loaction of the two graves, and the doubt as to their exact location, both stones were ! placed in the little burial plot on the Union Road."
