Title A name given to the resource Mr. Fiver, Dr. J. G. Ulmer, O.G. Huggins, 1929 Description An account of the resource Dr. John Gordon Ulmer, Sr. (1899-1974) was born in Brunson. He was a son of Captain Henry Martin Ulmer and Janie Free Ulmer. He was married to Ruth Harmon. Dr. Ulmer graduated as valedictorian of his high school and graduated from The College of Charleston with honors in mathematics and science. He completed his medical studies at the Medical College of South Carolina and served an internship at Roper Hospital in Charleston. He moved to Hemingway in 1923 and began his practice July 12, 1923. Dr. Ulmer completed 50 years of practice prior to his illness. During the 50 years, he delivered about 6,000 babies and was known as the "baby doctor". During one month he delivered 28 babies. In his family practice he came into contact with almost every family in the tri-county area he served. When he came to Hemingway in 1923 it had a population of 200 and no doctor.Dr. Hemingway had died earlier from injuries in an explosion of his sterilizing machine. Dr. Ulmer opened his practice in the drug store in Hemingway, but had very little office practice. He mostly made house calls on the dire roads of Williamsburg, Georgetown and Florence Counties. During the depression he delivered babies in homes lit by firelight or candlelight. He was often paid with produce or ham instead of money. Dr. Ulmer was honored by the residents of Williamsburg, Georgetown and Florence counties on October 15, 1972 when Dr. John Gordon Ulmer day was held in Hemingway. One of his many honors that day was the establishment of the John Gordon Ulmer Scholarship at the Medical College of South Carolina of Charleston. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Hemingway. Dr. Ulmer was a charter member of Hemingway Civitan Club. In 1967 he was awarded the Distinguished Citizen's Award by the Hemingway Jaycees. He was a member of the Indiantown Masonic Lodge of Hemingway and the Hemingway American Legion Post. Dr. Ulmer was a member of the American Medical Association, The S.C. Medical Association and the Williamsburg County Medical Society. While at the Medical College he was a member of the John L. Dawson Medical Society. He had a son, John Gordon Ulmer, Jr. of Chapel Hill, N.C.; a daughter, Mrs. Edward Dixon Harrill of Fairfax, Va.; a sister, Miss Rumel Ulmer of Brunson; a brother, S. Eric Ulmer of Allendale; four grandchildren.

This was in conjunction with the proclamation that marked this week the 1979 National School Bus Safety Week by the United States Congress . This observation of school bus safety was brought about in the hopes that it would focus on safely measures by the driver s and the motoring public that will redu ce accidents, injuries or death for th e students who are transported by busses lo and from school each day. In Johnsonville, there are 18 regular route busses which travel lo and from school morning and afternoon. In addition , there are three kindergarten busses which serve the kindergarten students during the middle of the day . These busses are presently transporting more than 16,000 students lo and from school each month . They travel more than 120 1000 miles an· nua lly. Ea ch school day they transport more than 900 students and travel more than 650 miles . In South Carolina , the state owned school busses transport more than 400,000 students to and from school each day on more than 6,000 school busses. These busses travel more than 58,000 miles annually. In observing the week of school bus safety, Mendel L. Poston, school bus sstipervisor for Johnsonville District Five Schools, directed the bus drivers in clearing many of the blind spots \\rhere the busses stop in order to reduce the safety hazards that exists on their routes. The students brought bush axes, saws, hatchets, racks and other tools. They went out in a group , super vised by Poston , and worked to clear those blind spots which proved to be the greatest handicap . J . Chester Floyd, super intendent of Johnsonville District Five Schools, joined Poston in urging all citizens lo take special recongnition of School Bus Safety Week, not only for that week, but for the entire school year. Poston said, 1 'Johnsonville has an excellent safety record with their school busses. They have traveled more than 750,000 miles without an accident which required medical care. Mr. Floyd and 1 as k that we all work together and try lo maintain a safe record for the remainder of this school year." Poston pointed out that school bus safety is ever yot1e's responsibility, and while the Bus Driver's Club at Johnsonville were spending much of their ( 'ontinu cd to Page K evenue ncrease Mayo r W.B .

My parents were wonderful dance partners and went there to dance in one of the ballrooms after they were married on a few special occasions. I remember them taking me to Myrtle Beach in the summer of 1960. At the time, we lived in West Virginia. It had an impressive presence as you approached from Kings Highway US 17 with an enormous roundabout and the bellman would open the car doors and direct everyone into the lobby. For a youngster, it really was a special treat!

Mrs. Eaddy said that she was writing the articles as a Bicentennial project to comme1norate the 200th birthday our our country'.) By E. Y. EADDY • During the Civil War period, tlie community we· now call Johnsonville was known as Buzzard's Roost. The name reflected certain activity which occured at the community's general store and whiskey shop. Gambling .and drunken brawls had given the place a bad name and no selfrespecting woman would enter its environs. But is is said that older male children were occasionally dispatched to Buzzard's Roost to ''bring Daddy Home." Both the character and name of Buzzard's Roost changed in 1870 when a small group of people met with Rev. W. W. Jones under a clump of trees for worship services. The religious revival kindled at that spot was climaxed in July 1872 In the organization ' of Old, Johnsonville Methodist Church. Rev. A. Nettles served as pastor until 1873 when a building was constructed. The site of the new church--the fourth in the area, after Ebenezer at Muddy Creek, Prospect at Prospect and Trinity near Johnsonville--was on the Williamsburg-Florence County line. The deed, recorded in Deed Book NP, pp. 7071, Williamsburg County· Court House, dated Nov. 7, 1873, states in part that "W. J. and Peruria L. Ard his wife for the sum of $20 ... paid by W. J. Haselden: E. Baxley, G. S. B. Huggins, H. E. Eaddy and C. B. Huggins, Trustees ... have granted all that parcel of land situate in the County of Williamsburg ... on the South Side of Muddy Creek, ' bounded by a line commencing thirty five yards south of Muddy Creek Bridge on the Georgetown Road and running East for Eighty fiv.e years thence South for one hundred and forty yards, thence East to the Georgetown Road thence in a Southerly direction along said road to the first i:nentioned ... point, containing one and a half acres .... " One provision of the deed prohibits the use of any part of the land for a cemetery, 'stating, ''And it is ... furiher agreed that there shall be no burial ground on the abo:ve premises." With or without permission from the owners, people of the community were soon burying their dead there, and the Ard Family Cemetery soon became Old Johnsonville. The founders of this church were an unusually able, devout, and ·dedicated group of men. Historically the 1870's were a turbulent and improverished decade, and only such a group as listed above could have succeeded in establishing a new church. The interest of the Haselden family in religion and specifically their devotion to Methodism, were mentioned in the earlier Ebenezer story. · Of the church's founders, Edmund Baxley, born about 1822, was a large land owner who built an unusually fine Georgian house near the present northern town limits of Hemingway. He served the South in the Ci vii War in Company D. Second Regiment of Reserves, transferring to an independent company in 1864 that saw much action in South Carolina defense.

(Henry Edison > Eaddy (1832-1912) had been one of the organizers and founders of the earlier Trinity Methodist Church. He had married Eliza Louisa Ann Huggins, the daughter of John Samuel Huggins and Zilphia Ham . This Samuel Huggins was the inventor of the first mechanical cotton planter used in the South and was ·an ordained Methodist minister. H . E . Eaddy , another church founder had fought in the Civil War and had returned home to his ravaged plantation to take up a career as a surveyor, writer, engineer, farmer and legislator. The Eaddys reared a large and talented family . It was H. E . Eaddy who s·upervised construction of the church . · G. S. B. (George Samuel Briley ) Huggins (1831-1914 ) was an ordained Methodist minister from l!n old and, since early colonial days, distinguished South Carolina family. He, too, had participated in the Civil War and was severely wounded in the Second Battle of Manassas . . His wife, the former Elizabeth Timmons, a niece of Henry Edison ·' Eaddy (above) had the plantation slaves hitch mules to a wagon and berself drove the Jong and hazardous distance to Virginia to bring her husband home to recuperate. His letters to his wife and his mother reveal a man of deep faith . He was lamed by his wounds. A contemporary wrote that despite his lameness, he walked the footlogs across Muddy Creek to attend services at Old Johnsonville. A little group 23 men pledged on July oos 29, 1872, amounts varying from $3.00 to $50.00 to build the church. They were L. R. Haselden , H. E . Eaddy, Thomas R . Grier, S. T. Cooper. W. J .

Old Johnsonville Methodist Church wa s a uniting forc e in a very trying period and helped to weld isolated neighborhoods into a community with some common aims . One charter member said that it '. 'was the beginning of progress in a countryside that had remained dormant since the Civil War ." In September 1896 the families came together for a church festival , its purpose being to raise funds to purchase a piano. Until that time , a ''tune raiser '' had had to suffice at the struggling church . This social event was held at the home of Stephen Haselden in Johnsonville. It was discribed in some detail by Judity (Grier ) Eaddy to her daughter-in-law , Elizabeth (Waddell) Eaddy, who recorded her mother-inJaw's reminiscences in a manuscript that she entitled ''All in a Lifetime." ''The festival was a lawn party and was held at Uncle Stephen Haselden's . Everybody, young and old, went. The women carried their babies. Most people came in wagons and as it was very warm, the babies were made comfortable on the hay with a quilt spread over it. ''Uncle Stephen's house was just across the road from where the parsonage now stands in Johnsonville. - - . • • Continued to Page Z ' George Samuel Briley Huggins G. S. B.

Outside in the light of the beacons were stands where lemonade and little cakes and ice cream were sold. These stands were thronged with customers . until everything was gone. It was the first ice cream ever made in the comqiynity and was considered a great treat. ''The ice was shipped up Black Mingo from Georgetown to the bridge 15' twelve miles from Johnsonville and then brought from the bridge by wagon, half a• day's' trip at least. · • ''The ice cream was made from boiled custard, made with cream and eggs. One egg for every cup of cream was the rule. The custard was poured into fifty pound tin lard cans and covered. These · cans were placed in large zinc or wooden tubs, surrounded by ice and salt and vigorously turned back and forth until it· was froze11 through and through. At intervals the cans had to be opened and the frozen cream around the side scraped off the the whole stirred so it would freeze through and through." About seven years later a graded school, the first in the area, was also established at Old Johnsonville , replacing the one-room school of the past.

In 1771, John Wesley called for more volunteers to go to America. Five men offered to go, and two were chosen, Francis Asbury and Richard Wright. Mr. Wright did not serve long, but Mr. Asbury began a long career in this country. When the American colonies declared their independence in 1776, all the preachers sent here by Mr. Wesley ('ootinued to Page 10 returned home except Mr. Asbury. He found refuge in the home of a friend and stayed there until the war was over. After the War, he was ordained a deacon, then an Elder, and then a ·Bishop. He was the second bishop of the Methodist ' Episcopal Church and the first to be ordained in America. He organized the first Sunday School in Virginia in 1786.

Trying to reach Fredericksburg, he stopped with a friend at Spottsylv·a nia and breathed his last on March 31st, 1816. His mailing address was simply ''America''. His annual circuit stretched from New England to Charleston, S. C. and any postmaster knew that the man who rambled America would soon be passing this way!

He printed the map of his ministry with· the hoofs of his horse, and he is entitled to rank as one of the builders of our nation. This dedicated man preached and stayed in the homes of the early people along this Williamsburg-Georgetown County Line road. In his journal he speaks of the Coachmans, the Greens, the Russells, the Birttons, the Port's the Durant's and many other fa_milies. He was welcome in all of the homes, and he preached to those who would receive him in vacant barns, brush arbors, at crossroads, and in meeting houses and court houses. I have found a record that he had organized Methodist meetings along the Georg~town-Williarrisburg County line between 1785 and 1800. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
