Anyone living in the Spartanburg area might be interested in a Memorial Day event at Walnut Grove United Methodist Church on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. All living and dead veterans will be honored in a church service which will be followed by the rededication of Confederate Memorial Crosses in the cemetery. The Gen. States Rights Gist Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans will lead the ceremony, and reinactors in uniform will honor our ten Confederate soldiers with a 21-gun black powder salute. It should be a solemn but awsome occasion. Anyone is welcome, but relatives and friends of these families might especially appreciate the service. The soldiers are: Simeon Smith Bearden Francis Marion Harrison Gallitson James Galthardus James Willilam A. Lancaster Baxter Layton Willis Layton John James McCarley Eber Pinson William Edgar Rogers

Some person was approaching and the "Colonel" saved his money. free post Lisa

F.T.Cantrell Is this the Cantrell Wagon bldg still standing and preserved across Main St from the Herald-Journal Bldg? Does any know? Mary

Lisa, I have enjoyed the posting! I have enjoyed reading them and there has been mention of a Cantrell or two. I plan on adding them to my work as unlinked. My Cantrell family came from there and I am certain that the ones mentioned are somehow very distantly related. Along with that it gave an added light to the history of the times. Thank you for your dedication. I am sure that I speak for more than myself. Your postings will be missed.

I know that a Lucy Wade, b. 9/1/1728 in Goochland Co, VA married Joseph Barnett on 10/3/1754. I believe they may have married in VA as their first child was born in VA, second child in SC. They had 8 children and seemed to have lived in Spartanburg, SC most of their lives. Lucy died in 1812 and is buried in the Barnett Family Cemetery in the Croft State Park. I have found some other's research who claim that Richard Wade was her father, and Gisle Dabny her mother, but I have not proven that as yet. Intrestingly, on my spouse's side, a Martha Wade married a John L. Shepherd in Arkansas, but I haven't even begun to look into her family yet so don't know if there's a connection.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS: --Glasgow HARRIS, an old Negro who claims to be 113 years old, was in Newberry Monday. He lives about 12 miles out in the country between Little River and Saluda, on Tom NEEL's place. He rode to town on a wagon and said he had not been there before in five years. He said he had not worked in two years. He fishes all the time now and his business was to get some fish hooks and lines. He has been married five times and is the father of 37 children. GAFFNEY: --The Gaffney Drug Company is now about ready for business. It is owned by J.C. CREECH of Barnwell and J.E. GREENE of Spartanburg. --This morning while Mrs. A.J. BURGESS was in a field near her home at Limestone Mill, she was hit by a stray bullet from a rifle. Some boys were shooting at birds in a tree near by, when the ball struck a limb, and glancing struck Mrs. BURGESS on the neck, burying itself about an inch and a half. Dr. B.R. BROWN was called in and extracted the ball. The wound, while painful, is not necessarily serious. $1,000 AND TWELVE MONTHS In the sessions court yesterday afternoon the case against A.N. HALLMAN charged with operating a gambling slot machine in violation of a state law was disposed of and a penalty that was a surprise to all imposed. The punishment imposed was $1,000 fine and twelve months in jail, no discretionary power being left with the judge to modify the penalty as provided by statute. It seems that the section covering this offense provides this penalty and no other. Mr. HALLMAN plead guilty when arraigned. Judge GARY commented very briefly in passing the sentence. Mr. HALLMAN was sent to jail, but later released for the time being by Solicitor SEASE.
