Regarding the part about the detail of the man killed by the train. My grandfather, Clyde Lee, was killed by a train Jan. 30, 1937. The report was in the paper for two days and the detail was unbelievable. The first report on Jan. 31 stated that they had not identified the man. They gave a full report of injuries, height, approx. weight, clothing worn, and even the color of his hair. Believe me, it wasn't pretty. I have wondered if the newspaper report was how my great grandparents found out. Denise

His wife was Harriet (Hattie) Jane Lowe. 1880 Census lists Samuel, Harriet and their children in Reidville Township, Spartanburg County, SC. Any help will be appreciated.

The First Day Of Census It was the first day of census, and all through the land, each pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride, his book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there, toward the smell of fresh bread wafting up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face and wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table and she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked her of children. Yes, she had quite a few, the oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride, and she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age, the marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot" was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear, but she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such, they could read some ... and write some ... though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done so he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me as we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow as we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day that the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel and the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen -- the words they impart through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. --- Author unknown.

"The Free Lance" Issue: March 20, 1903 part 2 ANOTHER BIGAMY CASE Fannie RANDOLPH, young mother living in this county, has sworn out a warrant before Magistrate KIRBY against Issac RANDOLPH, charging him with bigamy.

"The Free Lance" Issue: March 20, 1903 part 1 "It is cowardly to fall in love and then try to crawl out of it" NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT CREATED County Superintendent ELMORE has returned from Greers where he spent Monday conferring with a number of leading citizens regarding the creation of a special school district. The new district will be known as Greers special school district and will include the town of Greers and portions of Spartanburg and Greenville counties. Spartanburg: The dead body of Lewis PITTMAN, a Rock Hill mill operative about 50 years old, was found Tuesday morning on the Southern Railway near the western city limits in a mangled condition. The find was made by section hands passing to their work. There was an arm and a leg broken, a jagged hole under the chin and another in the top of the head. {This could be considered too much detail} Plans for New Houses Carter & Co. are preparing plans for remodeling of the residence of Elisha BOMAR on the corner of Henry and Spring streets. The work will represent an outlay of $3,500 and when completed the house will be one of the handsomest in the city. The same firm is also preparing plans for the remodeling of Dr. VERNON's residence at Wellford. NATIONAL/SC BRIEFS --The grand Purim masquerade charity ball took place in Orangeburg Tuesday night. It is the fourteenth of its kind to be held. Parties from all over this and adjoining states attend this social event annually, it is considered on of the most enjoyable affairs of the ding given in this state. --George Washington FORD, a Negro, was found dead with his head smashed on the railroad near Mars Bluff Monday. FORD, it is thought, jumped from train No. 55 Sunday thinking at the time that he was near Mars Bluff and that the train was slacking up, but it had passed the station and was running at a rapid rate. --Sunday evening at the A.C.L. yards in Florence, Crusoe and Sam SERVICE, two Negroes in the employ of the Coast Line, had a slight fight which resulted in SERVICE being severely cut about the throat. It seems that MILLER had previously threatened to kill SERVICE. In the fight SERVICE fired several shots at MILLER, but all went wild and no damage was done by them. [Not sure if Crusoe's last name was Miller - is confusing] --Three attempted desertions have occurred at the Port Royal marine barracks since Friday night. One of the men was captured by Town Marshal HAYES at the Port Royal depot as he was boarding the train. Two other marines drove through the country to Seabrook station. They then boarded the train and got as far as Yemassee, where they were recognized, arrested and returned to the barracks. Ten dollars is a standing reward for the return of each deserter. Each of the men had discarded their uniforms and were attired in civilian dress. --News has reached Williamston of a tragedy in Memphis, Tenn., on last Thursday which resulted in the shooting to death of Rev. C.W. DePEW, a Wesleyan Methodist minister, and a former resident of Williamston. The details of the tragedy have not been learned, but from the facts as gathered it seems that Rev. Mr. DePEW discharged from his service an employee who acted as driver about the place, and his discharge so greatly enraged the man's wife that she determined to assuage her wrath with the preacher's blood, and procuring a revolver, she met Mr. DePEW and shot him dead. --Mrs. Emily C. WEYMAN, formerly a resident of Greenville, died on Saturday last in Columbus, Ga., aged 68 years. Mrs. WEYMAN was born near Pendleton, SC and was a daughter of Capt. John Maxwell, who was prominent in his day and generation as a large planter and [cut off] THEY MADE UP QUICKLY The sequel to the story published in Saturday's paper of the attempt of Violet ARROWOOD to run away from her husband, took place late Saturday afternoon. After the arrest of the woman and her confinement at the police station her husband was notified and at once visited his spouse in the lock up. The man was anxious to "make up" but the woman was obdurate. However, after a few exchanges of affectionate expressions the two decided to try matrimony again and were accordingly permitted to depart in peace. MAJOR ELFORD OUT AGAIN The many friends of Maj. Jos. M. ELFORD are glad to see him again at his office and at work. The major says he has had certainly a long holiday of three months, caused by a visit from his annual caller: Monsteur La Grippe, but he thinks that his long rest was necessary as he was becoming tired after 43 years of consecutive work for the city and 35 as real estate and insurance agent with an only occasional recess of two weeks during the year. He expresses himself as grateful for the many kind visits received and the many sweetmeats and flowers sent him by his esteemed lady friends. ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY AT GREERS Officers DODD, COOKSEY, and BATES Tuesday pulled Earle VAUGHAN, a colored gentleman from Greers, out of bed at a colored restaurant on Magnolia street where he was spending the night and carried him to the lockup for theft. VAUGHN yesterday afternoon stole $32 from his father-in-law at Greers and came up to Spartanburg to "blow in" the money. The authorities at Greers notified the Spartanburg police to be on the lookout. They spotted the Negro, but had to telegraph back to Greers for a more accurate description. As VAUGHN filled the bill completely he was arrested. Very little money was found on his person, but while en route to the police station, he told where the stolen money could be found. He had hidden it between the quilts of the bed on which he was sleeping when officers found him. He had spent about $5, leaving $27. VAUGHN was carried home by an officer from Greers. Free post Lisa

All the mailing lists have a feature that automatically removes an e-mail addie if it bounces more than a couple of times. Usually the e-mail is invalid or the recipient's mailbox is too full. You are most welcome on the list so please just re-join or if you would like, just send me your e-mail that you would like to use and I will go in and add you manually. I don't know what could have happened to the Free Lance posts. I also love reading those Free Lance posts so please keep them coming. There have been some problems with the Rootsweb bulletin boards servers but I haven't heard anything about problems with the mailing list servers. Has anyone else had a problem with the mailing list? Please let me know so I can get it fixed. We don't want to lose any of our list members. Have a great day!

Help! This is toomean2@aol.com [Lisa], I had to subscribe using an alter-ego :) I was removed from the Spartanburg mailing list, help!! I have noticed some of my Free Lance posts won't go through, is there a problem there, could this be why I was removed? Did I overload? Lisa ______________________________
