"Medicine in Marlboro Co.", by Suzanne C. Linder is a great book. Well worth it's cost. It has a lot of early history of why some of our ancestors met an early death (illnesses for which there was no cure, etc.). It gives a brief biography of each doctor that has ever served in the county, including their wives, and children, etc. There is also a good bit in the book about some of the Bennettsville men as they served in the Civil war and how the town and it's residents were treated during the Union occupation. It mentions several families thoughout the book. Dr. Linder has another great book out for those who might be researching not only "Old St. David's Parish" , but other parts of South Carolina as well. I love her "Anglican Churches in Colonial South Carolina." I have bought several of my books that have helped me at the Shiness Gift Shop, P.O. Box 656, Bennettsville, SC 29512. It is a part of the Marlboro Herald-Advocate office, which is the local newspaper. The editor is something of a history buff. They have also carried "RAMBLES IN THE PEE DEE", which is also a great book on the early history of the area from Georgetown up the river to Marlboro Co., SC. I do not know if their email address is still current or not, but the one I have for them is mailto:ekmcniel@marlboroelectric.net This will reach Elizabeth McNiel, who runs the gift shop. You can ask her for a list of what they might have relating to the history of the area, and the prices.
