There is reportedly a cementary behind the house where an Edmund Clement is buried, I think the date is July 1845. The land is connected to my grandmother's old home place. My father and I have been on the property looking for the cementary but it is very overgrown and we will have to go back in the fall. The ruins of the house are still there, no one has been up there for a while. If I have anymore information I will be sure to pass it on. Thanks, Jennifer R. Bishop

"Carolina Spartan" Issue: September 13, 1882 Dr. E.G. KEITT, of Newberry county died the 20th instant, at the residence of R.V. GIST, where he was boarding. He graduated at Wofford College in 1873, and after that at the Baltimore Medical College. He was building up a fine practice. He was ill when he received his last professional call, and said: "My services are needed, and I will go; though in going I sign my death warrant." COURT OF COMMON PLEAS W.B. MONTGOMERY, Plaintiff, against G.E. HOWE, et al, Defendants-Decree for Foreclosure. In obedience to an order passed on the 29th day of June, 1882, in the above entitled case, by his Honor J.S. Cothran, Circuit Judge, I will sell within legal hours of sale, on the first Monday in October next, before the Courthouse door, in the city of Spartanburg, S.C., at public outcry to the highest bidder, the following described property, to wit: All that tract or parcel of land situated on Fair Forest Creek, in said county bounded by lands of Miss ZIMMERMAN, estate of A. LANCASSTER, dec'd, and others, containing two hundred and eighty acres, more or less, known has the "Howe Place" being the tract of land mortgaged by Milnor JONES to S. BOBO, dated June 28th, 1878. Issue: September 13, 1882 The first bale of new cotton sold in this county was raised by John TOLLESON, near Wilkinsville, in Union County. W.J. DUNCAN, of Gaffney City, bought it, Tuesday, the 5th instant. Up to the time of going to press not a single new bale has been received at this place. MARRIED: --Thursday, the 7th instant, by Rev. A.P. Acant, Mr. Tandy WATERS and Miss Maggie CALDWELL; both of Spartanburg county. Issue: September 20, 1882 Cornelius COLE, who robbed the express agent here about 18 months ago, was captured by Chief Marshall, J.B. KING in Columbia last week. Mr. KING had gone to carry a registered escaped convict back to the penitentiary, and he was looking around the circus there and saw his old acquaintance, COLE, with the circus hands. He gave him a pressing invitation to visit Spartanburg, which COLE accepted with some reluctance at parting with his circus friends. He is now in jail awaiting a trial for highway robbery. We asked Henry ABBOTT, (Honey Bee) to give us the number of his descendants. He came up a few days ago and reported as follows: I will be 85 years old the 4th of October next, and the "old woman" will be 81 the same. We had 15 children, but only 7 are living, several having been killed during the war. I know of 76 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren, making a total of 112. He says they are so scattered that he thinks they are not all counted. A few weeks ago an old colored man, "Uncle Joe MILLER", asked a merchant of this place to buy him 18,000 shingles to cover "Foster's Chapel". Last Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, five wagons rolled up, and within one hour there were 30 men, 28 horses and 22 wagons ready to haul off the shingles. This I think worthy of special mention, inasmuch as it was a voluntary labor, on the part of the owners of these wagons, and just at this season one that required sacrifice. The special point I wish to make is, if our pastors were to make such a demand on our time and personal labor, would we respond with such zeal and punctuality. Issue: September 27, 1882 John L. HOLMES, Esq., with his daughter, Mrs. WRIGHT, of Wilmington, are on visit to his son, John HOLMES, of this place. Mr. M.B.

"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: August 9, 1882 Lillie HUGHES was bitten by a strange dog at Crawfordsville early Tuesday morning. Mr. S.B. EZELL was there at the time, and on his return to Spartanburg he learns that a colored child near Twitty grove was bitten by a dog, perhaps the same. A large yellow hound bit the girl at Crawfordsville. Take care of the children and look after all strange dogs. Deputy Sheriff HOLT arrested Springs RUSSELL, an escaped United States prisoner near Cowpens last Saturday. He was in the crowd of nine that broke the jail here the 31st day of last December, and was awaiting a sealed sentence in the District Court at Greenville. He will go over there next week and have the pleasure of hearing Judge BRYAN read this legal document. Verge C. BEAN came up to make an inquiry of deputy HOLT as to his reason s for arresting Springs, when the deputy drew a concealed warrant for malicious trespass and arrested BEAN, and on his refusal to come to jail he was handcuffed with the other prisoner and brought to jail. Saturday night Mr. HOLT took Andy WOODRUFF and Tom LAKE, against whom they were sealed sentences for gambling. They will enjoy the dog days in the county jail. An interesting ceremony took place at Major DUNCAN's last week. He made a fine oat crop this year in fact it was large enough to entitle him to be a candidate for any office in the gift of the people, and he concluded to build new barns. His son Willie, was left in charge of the work, and Reuben GOODGION, colored, was the builder of the brick foundation. The Major, on returning home in the evening found one corner lower than the rest and worked over very nicely, and on inquiry as to the reason, he ascertained that Willie had a regular corner stone laying ceremony. He placed copies of the News and Courier and Carolina Spartan, his own name and his father's, and it was ready to close when Robert protested and said his name ought to go into it also, for he was the builder, and in it went with the rest. Robert says in abouts a thousand years from now, when some man opens the corner it will make him open his eyes. Mr. E.L. MURRAY and family, from Atlanta have moved to this place. They are in the Walker house on Church street. Mr. MURRAY is a native of Sumter, and his wife is a sister of GUERRY, the artist.

"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: July 5, 1882 Rev. Edwin CATER, a native of Beaufort, S.C., died the 13th of June at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. E.H. SMITH, at Somerville, Tenn. He preached to the Presbyterian Church in this place for a short time about the year 1859. Charlie WHITE, a colored convict, who escaped from a farm in Laurens county about five years ago, was arrested near Tryon last week by Marshal Jonas B. KING, and carried to Columbia, where he will finish his term in the penitentiary. Last Thursday Jordan SWANSON, a life convict, was arrested by the same officer near Wellford. He was in the party that attacked the guard near the penitentiary some time ago, and it was supposed that all were drowned in the attempt to escape, but JORDAN saved himself by hiding under the bank of the famous canal, and liking the business outlook at Wellford, settled there and took a life companion from the daughters of that land, and registered himself as "Thomas WILLIAMS" so as to vote at the next election. JORDAN has gone back to his old home on the Congaree accompanied by Mr. KING. He will be likely to remain there some time as his avoirdupois was suddenly increased by the addition of a 40-pound ball to his pedal extremities. Several cotton blossoms have been reported since the first was received. Amongst the others Master C.L. POOLE, a son of Dr. J.T. POOLE of Cross Anchor, reports two on his father's farm last Tuesday the 27th of June. Issue: July 12, 1882 The Morgan Rifles have adopted the old uniform of the company.

Mr. HENNEMAN attained distinction in the intermediate class of mathematics, and he took a diploma in Latin and Greek. Mr. HARRIS took a diploma in natural philosophy, civil engineering, industrial chemical mineralogy and geology. He also took the degree of civil engineer. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the following couples had been married more than fifty years: Mr. and Mrs. Simpson BOBO, Mr. and Mrs. D.W. MOORE, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. G. HARRIS, Mr. and Mrs. Henry ABBOTT. Esquire HARRIS was married in 1824, consequently he and his wife or now closing up their 58th year of married life.

Issue: July 19, 1882 Simpson SANDERS, some 65 years old, living near Cowpens had his foot and ankle crushed between a wagon wheel and a stump last week. The leg was amputated above the ankle. This is a great affliction on him and his family. In addition to the four couples whose golden weddings have passed we may state that to-day, the 19th instant is the 50th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. LOCKWOOD. If one were to pick up a Baltimore paper just fifty years old he would see the marriage announcement of William LOCKWOOD and Miss Eliza Stevenson JOHNSTON, Rev. G. W. Musgrove, the officiating minister. MARRIAGES --At the residence of the bride's father, near New Prospect, S.C., by Rev. T.B. Justice, on the evening of the 18th of July, 1882, Mr. Jno. T.

He said he might go far enough to see a real live Indian with his war paint on. It is more probable that he will catch a live Texas girl, and bring her back with him on his return. Issue: August 2, 1882 William BYARS, son of Harrison BYARS, lost two mules by drowning in Thickety at the ford near D.H. GRAMBLIN's, Friday the 21st inst. The water at this place is very swift, and the way of access to the creek is very narrow, the banks below being steep and rugged. It would be difficult for an ordinary horse or mule to go through this ford when the water is four feet deep. The driver, a white man, was returning from Gaffney's with an empty wagon, and on driving in he was carried down the stream. In some way he got out below the ford, but the mules were both drowned. free post Lisa
