I am trying to locate a marriage record for Mary Jo Wise,born 1901 who came to Spartanburg SC with her family in 1902 from Georgia.Her father was Walter Wise from Ogelthorpe Co GA and Lillie Reynolds Wise from GA. According to information provided by one of the researchers of this list Walter J Wise is buried in West Oakwood Cem in Spartanburg (1865-1925) along with wife Lillie R Wise (1869-1949 ) and daughter Julia E Wise (1902-1926.) Mary Jo Wise was probably married between 1918-1930 in Spartanburg. I would like to find out who she married and have been unable to find this online. In her later years Mary Jo lived in/near Orangeburg SC and my parents visited her once probably during the 1970's. No one in my family remembers Mary Jo's married name,the relatives who knew it are dead. If anyone has this information or knows where to find it I would appreciate your assistance.

GOSSETT , local painter, who died here in 1925, left home and not a word was heard of him, until he came in from Washington and looked up his friend, R.S. HAMMETT, who resides on Johnson street, and asked about his father and mother. Earle left home and stricken with wanderlust found himself in Belgium. He enlisted in the Belgian army to oppose the Germans and was seriously wounded in a hand to hand conflict in which he was literally carved up with a German bayonet and was in the hospital for two years. He spent 8 years in Belgium but had a longing to come back to America. He returned to NY and then went to Washington where he was living ever since. MR. HAMMETT took him to the home of a sister; MRS. BUD ROGERS, who did not know him, until she was told who the visitor was, then she recognized him. His father died in 1925 and his mother in 1919. A brother I.H. GOSSETT lives in Chesnee. He spent two nights in Spartanburg before returning back to Washington. He promised to return here within a month to seek his relatives and friends. ----- MARRIAGE RECORDED PAUL E.

Surnames: McAbee Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgB.2ACI/2611 Message Board Post: I am trying to gather data on a gg grandfather, Robert Charles McAbee, supposedly born in Spartansburg, South Carolina abt 1831. He later migrated to Kentucky and then to Illinois. Another family researcher said Charles might have been the son of a Charles Barton McAbee of Spartansburg, although she had no actual source to back that up. We have been unable to find Robert Charles' in any records prior to his marriage in 1852, in Graves County Kentucky/Weakley CountyTennessee (the marriage record shows up in both places).

"The Free Lance" Issue July 1, 1904 DR. THOMAS ROBBED Dentist Victim of Assault Sunday Night Dr. Arthur O. THOMAS was the victim of a daring robbery and vicious assault Sunday night and the story of the sensational affair reminds one of the former days when holdups and highwaymen were the order of the day. But what makes the event of still more exciting interest is the fact that it occurred just west of the Saxon Mills. Dr. THOMAS was returning from a day's visit to friends at Fair Forest and left there sometime after night fall. He was riding alone in a buggy and when passing an unfrequented spot along the road someone whom he thought to be a negro came noiselessly behind the buggy and struck him on the head with either an iron pipe or thick stick. The blow was very heavy and Dr. THOMAS was rendered unconscious. The perpetrator of the assault then rifled the pockets of his victim and obtained about $25 in money, a valuable gold watch. The horse continued the way homeward with the unconscious man in the buggy. When the turnout reached the city a passerby noted the form of the injured man in the buggy and stopped the horse. He recognized Dr. THOMAS and he was at once taken to his home on North Church street and medical attention was immediately given him. The wound was dressed but the patient remained in a stupor from the effects of the blow. It was not until early this morning that he recovered sufficiently to relate an account of the affair. Officers of the police department went at once to work on the case and this morning a negro, Tom RICHARDSON, was arrested by Officer CUDD as a suspect. The negro, it is said lives at Fair Forest and spent the day there Sunday. Dr. THOMAS, after RICHARDSON's arrest left for Fair Forest for the purpose of obtaining evidence against the man in custody or getting information from various sources that may lead to the guilty person. It was a daring and boldly executed robbery and assault and it is safe assumption that everything possible will be done that will result in the punishment of the man who did the deed.

THE TRAIL THAT FAILED How a Policeman and Bloodhounds Didn't get the Man Soon after Policeman JOHNSON had Monday this morning [sic] after having worked until after 12 o'clock he was awakened by his wife who declared that she had seen a negro man peering into the window of the sleeping apartments. Mr. JOHNSON, pistol in hand crept noiselessly to the window and saw a burly negro about to leave the front yard. On his back he bore a crocus? sack, and from the sounds emanating therefrom he surmised that unless he acted quickly he would be loser of some poultry. He fired at the nocturnal intruder three times and when the noise of the shots had died away and the atmosphere had cleared of powder smoke he found - not a dead negro, but what was better, the sack of chickens. The man had fled. Mr. JOHNSON had blood in his eye and was determined to have revenge for the rude awakening from his slumbers. He went to the station house and pressed the bloodhounds into service. The dogs took up the trail and with Mr. JOHNSON and others following, the march was begun. For six long weary miles the dogs continued to follow the trail of the negro, and the party followed the dogs. The trail was lost in the marsh lands around Glendale Park and thus ends the story.

I don't know about the Cavin's place, but it says the Woffords lived at Tyger River and Hills Shoals - I am pretty sure this is between Hebron Church and Tabernacle Church. This would be in the V created by secondary roads 142 and 113. I would assume the Cavins place was in that vicinity. Lisa

Thanks for the Free Lance story of Nancy Leonard's birthday celebration. All you Wilson researchers, I think we have found Nicy Wilson, daughter of Isham. I believe the Nancy Waldrop, sister of Nancy Leonard, is Nicy Waldrop instead of Nancy Waldrop. I don't believe Nancy would have a sister, Nancy. There is a Nicy Waldrop buried at Avner Creek Baptist Church, according to Gil's cemetery book. She has the right dates to be Nicy Wilson.
