I have been searching for� Ladson ancestors for many years without much success until recently when a family "hearsay" became an absolute.Yes,indeed,George Whitefield Ladson, a white Presbyterian minister was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in 1864.And yes indeed,he did ministered to the blacks and yes,they did build a chapel and name it "The Ladson Chapel" in his honor.(now Ladson Presbyterian Church)This I know to be an absolute because a very nice gentleman in Columbia actually went to the cemetery,took�� pictures of his tombstone sent them to me.Then,Elizabeth Morton,SC Dept.of Archives & History sent me a copies of the National Register of Historical Places documentation that was completed for the church and for the cemetery.I cannot believe my good luck. Having been involved as a volunteer with the "Random Act of Kindness Club"for several years I never realized how much my tramping thru cemeteries and searching old books� could mean to others until I was on the receiving end of such kindness for which I am most grateful. A very sincere thanks to you,Ms.Morton and my kind photographer in Columbia.SC. Imogene Hancock
