" This in essence symbolizes the true feeling of the Johnsonville Schools toward Mrs. Docia Cox, one of the best friends it has. Always smiling, with twinkling eyes, she personifies the best of the happy cooperative spirit in the schools. Along with this recognition and honor goes a sincere "thank you" for the many things she has done for Johnsonville during the years she has served as lunchroom supervisor. We are happy to have this opportunity to pay tribute to her for her faithful, friendly, and outstanding service, and gratefully dedicate to her our 1961 edition of THE GOLD AND BLACK. �ADMINISTRATION Mr. K.

Title A name given to the resource Grave of John Witherspoon Description An account of the resource Grave of John Witherspoon (1742-1802), located at the old Aimwell Presbyterian Church burial grounds, Old River Road at McWhite Road. John took control of Witherspoon's Ferry (now Venters Landing at Johnsonville) after his older brother Robert Witherspoon died with no issue in 1787. Witherspoon's Ferry had already been in use during the Revolution, and this spot served as the backdrop for General Francis Marion's commission to lead the militia. John and Robert were both sons of Gavin Witherspoon and Jane James, who came from Knockbracken, Ireland to Williamsburg. John was a patriot during the American Revolution, serving as a private with Marion's Brigade in the Britton's Neck Regiment for 244 days in 1780 and 1781. In 1801 it was ordered that a Ferry should be re-established and vested in John's care. John married Mary Conn and had one child, Elizabeth, who later married David Rogerson Williams, Governor of South Carolina from 1814-1816. John Witherspoon died in 1802, and according to the terms of his will, the ferry was re-established and vested in John D. Witherspoon, executor and friend, for a term of 14 years beginning in 1815, “in trust for and having the sole benefit of the incorporated Presbyterian Church at Aimwell on the Pee Dee River." John's will also stipulated that William J. Johnson be given rights to the Ferry site under condition: "It is my will and desire that the trustees aforesaid or their successors shall give William Johnson the present use of the lands aforesaid the exclusive privilege of leasing the lands aforesaid for a term of 12 years provided the said William Johnson on the wisdom of the said trustees aforesaid shall conduct himself with propriety." It was John Witherspoon who vested the ferry lands in William Johnson, who later established the post office at Johnsonville which became the town we know today. https://www.johnsonvilleschistory.org/files/original/bacf45e7b11892d0ad4dc17125e308c2.pdf 6317fea84b580dc3209f79c6703761e8 PDF Text Text � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They broadened their knowledge by helping in the construction of buildings, performing at various assemblies, participating in group · activities, exchanging ideas and opinions through normal conversations, and serving the school by assuming responsibilities as teacher and office aides, library assistants, and student leaders. {top) Trudy Lyerly and Cerise Eaddy, after learning to sew in home economics classes, •made many of their clothes. {above) In making a camper fo.r a pick-up, Herbert Brown closely followed Mr. Dunahoe's directions. {middle right) When Miss Powell brought to school some souveniors of her trip to Mexico, Debbie Baxley could not resist trying them on. {right) The masonry class gained experience by laying concrete blocks for the rescue squad's new building. {far right) The magical abilities demonstrated in one of the Southeastern Assemblies challenged the minds of those who saw the performance. �(far left) Angie Taylor demonstrated her talents by singing a medley of songs at the 1972 Miss Gold and Black Beauty Pagea nt.

Participating in intramural track and field day events, working on the Junior Class barbecue supper and the prom decorations, perforrning in the Drama Club play and assembly programs, and attending the monthly dances at the Country Club were a few of the many specific events that marked the year for JHS students.

While solemn ly contemplating past adventures or eagerly anticipating future escapades, the stu dent was seldom alone in his musings because whateve r his emotion of the moment might be, an undescribable joy over an unexpected recognition or despondency becau"Se of a low test grade, all members o f the student body united to share equally their trials and their triumphs.

In the spring of 1971 the young people of the Johnsonville and Hemingway area churches combined their talents and efforts to organize a three-day Youth Crusade through which they brought many of their friends face-to-face with Christ. In the summer with three free months, many JHS students worked at part time jobs in town or in the tobacco fields on local farms while others helped with the summer athletic program at the gymnasium. Then as school resumed in September, they quickly stepped into various roles to meet the needs of the school. Whether the task involved painting the gym, dropping booster leaflets from a plane, editing and distributing the yearbook, ·serving in the elementary library, or collecting money at a barbecue supper, each student displayed intense vitality and enthusiasm that exemplified his joy of living and being a part of his society. (top left) Randolph Miles helped repaint the gym during his physical education classes. (upper middle) Johnsonville High students actively participated in the spring Youth Crusade.

Whether dancing to the music of the " Men of Distinction," marching in the band, competing in a beauty contest or simply enjoying old and new friendships , they radiated the exuberance that is so cha racteristic of the young, who still have the vitality to enjoy life to its fullest.

Miss Alice Hanna, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed senior, captured the title of 1972 Miss Gold and Black over a field of 35 contestants. As Mr. Don Hastings, master of ceremonies, announced each girl, she gracefully walked onto the stage and down the runway against a background of over 3000 brilliantly colored fall leaves. A white picket fence supplied the finishing touches to the stage. The Johnsonville High School Band, under the direction of Mr. William Thayer, provided intermission music while the judges made their decisions. During the main intermission Thornette Cooper , Thomasina Woodberry, and Trudy Powell performed as a trio, and Angela Taylor sang a medley of popular songs. (top) The five finalists, Robin Altman, 4th runner-up; Midge Durant, 2nd runner-up; Alice Hanna, Miss Gold and Black ; Mona Larrimore, 1st runner-up ; and Melanie Ward , 3rd runner-up , await the judges' final decision.

In October, as one of eight sponsors of the senior football players, Susan Blackwell won her title and the honor of reigning at the Homecoming game. Then in January the homerooms selected the four class beauties. The winners , each of whom represented her class in the Gold and Black, were Debbie Baxley, Miss Senior; Geneve Nettles, Miss Junior; Levon Davis, Miss Sophomore; and Edna Mae Wright, Miss Freshman. Representing their classes were (top) Debbie Baxley. Miss Senior; (far left) Geneve Nettles, Miss Junior; (left) Levon Davis, Miss Sophomore; and (above) Edna Mae Wright, Miss Freshman. �Ten students win places in Hall of Fame Ten members of the senior class won the honor of being selected to the 1972 Hall of Fame. The faculty in selecting them took into consideration their academic records; their participation in athletics, clubs, or other extracurricular activities ; their personal in- · tegrity, their emotional stability ; and their social maturity. In other words, the top ten seniors were "well-rounded" individuals. (top left) Trudy Powell, who is in the top ten percent of the senior class academically, is also a regular bus driver.

Academically, Randy earned the distinction of being Valedictorian by maintaining the highest grades in his class throughout high school, which won him nominations as Furman Scholar , Presbyterian College Junior Fellow, and King Teen. He gained recognition , too, as a finalist in the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Negro students. Not only did Randy excel academically, but he also excelled in service to his school and community. He was president of the Beta Club, reporter for the Drama Club , and editor-in-chief of the Flashes, the school newspaper. Winning titles of Outstanding Teenager and Outstanding American Student, Randy, a member of St. Paul's AME Church, worked on the organizational team for the 1971 Youth Crusade. Athletically, he displayed his abilities on the basketball court usually as a member of the starting line-up both his junior and senior years. 26 �Twenty-seven compete for scholarships Each year the high school faculty and administration nominates students from the junior and senior classes to compete for scholarships awarded by colleges and universities throughout South Carolina and neighboring states. Each individual earns his honor through excelling academically, occupying a position of leadership in the school and community , and exemplifying outstanding qualities of character. The 1971-72 scholars, pictured below were, seated : Debbie Lane, Winthrop Scholar; Susan Blackwell, Win· throp Scholar; Alice Hanna, Winthrop Scholar; Martha Meridth, Francis Marion and Winthrop Scholar; Randy Marlowe, Furman Scholar; Bob Turner, Furman Scholar ; Randy Eaddy, Carolina Scholar and King Teen of Wofford College; Bruce Allison, Benedict Scholar; Randy Willis , King Teen of Wofford College ; and John Rowntree, Carolina Scholar; standing: Loretta Hanna, Winthrop Scholar; Esther Douglas, Wesleyan Scholar and Winthrop Scholar; Jean Thompson, Winthrop Scholar; Cappy King, Furman Scholar; Trudy Powell , Wesleyan, Francis Marion, and Winthrop Scholar; Elaine Weaver, Winthrop Scholar; Debbie Baxley, Winthrop Scholar; Robin Altman , Winthrop Scholar; 27 Debbie Jean Eaddy, Wesleyan and Winthrop Scholar; John Lyerly , Francis Marion Scholar; Naomi Pendergrass , Winthrop Scholar; and Barbara Curry, Benedict Scholar.

In addition to competing for academic scholarships, many of the students were guests for the week-end on the college campuses where members of the administration and scholarship committees interviewed them. �Outstanding JHS students receive state recognition Each year the graduating class of Johnsonville High contains certain students who deserve extra recognition. The class of 1972 was no exception. In the spring Debbie Lane and Trudy Po· well won the honor of representing JHS at the annual Girls' State Assembly at the University of South Carolina in Co· lumbia. At the same time Charles Can· tey, Bucky Coker, Timmy Miller, Nicky Powell, and Randy Willis spent a week at the Boys' State Assembly at the Citadel in Charleston. Each representative participated in activities which directly led to an increased understanding of the functions and operations of the local , state, and federal governments.

(right) Boys' State representatives Tim· m_y Miller, Bucky Coker, Charles Cantey, Nicky Powell, and Randy Willis go fishing for a good time. 1971, the four students with the highest academic averages for the past five semesters participated as marshals in the graduation exercises. The students re· ceiving this honor were Esther Douglas, Randy Eaddy , John Rowntree , and Randy Willis. Then in the fall the high school faculty selected Alice Hanna to receive the DAR Award , by which the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution stresses the qualities of good citizenship. Thus through various forms of recognition, those students who had excelled in scholarship or citizenship received the reward that they each had earned. �Outstanding teenagers win coveted titles Five seniors and one junior won coveted awards for their academic achievements and community services. John Rowntree scored highest in the school on his College Board Examination to earn the title of Star Student while Loretta Hanna outranked thesenior girls on a test of homemaking skills to win the Betty Crocker Award. Charles Cantey, Randy Eaddy, Debbie Lane, and Dale Poston received recognition as Outstanding Teenagers of America because of their roles as leaders in the school.

The girls' performance during the football and basketball pep rallies reflected the long hours of hard work during the summer and after school. They sold ribbons, buttons, shakers, cake chances, and pennants to pay for new pompoms, new hot pants uniforms, and a week at cheerleader camp next summer. But the greatest contribution of the enthusiastic cheerleaders was the instilling of school spirit in the students at JHS through cheering and making posters. (top) The cheerleader squad consisted of, left to right, Barbara Curry; Debbie Ammons; Melanie Ward, captain; Denise Barn- hill, co-captain ; Patsy Poston; and Marilyn Garris. (above) Leading the students in cheers was only one of the duties of being a cheerleader.

Its head mentor, Mr. Ray McAlister,journeyed with his golfers to numerous matches along the Grand Strand in addition to hosting several matches. The Flashes competed against four conference foes and streaked tluough an undefeated conference schedule. They fell only to strong Kingstree in a non-conference match. Although the conference tournament seemed "a sure thing" for the team, North Myrtle Beach managed to defeat Johnsonville for the third consecutive year. The loss denied the Flashes the right to compete in the state tournament, which the conference winners played at Wellman Country Club.

After scoring only 34 points in their first two meets, the Flashes came alive , finishing fourth with 68 points in their last regular season meet. The Flashes placed fourth in the conference meet with 62~ points. The Johnsonville Medley Relay team tied with Hannah-Pamplico for a conference record time of I :45.4. Flashes' cinderman Joey Newell set a conference mile record with a time of 5 :08 .7 and went on to place fifth in the State Meet with a time of 5:00.05. Leading the team in scoring with 33~ points for the season was Joey Newell. Eric Tanner captured 30 points, Randy Venters scored 27 points, and Fritz Edwards brought home 23~ points.

The Flashes were led by seniors Bubba Coker, Charles Hanna, and Kenny Barnhill. Coaching the Flashes for the third season was Buddy Wallace. Early in the season the team was plagued by inconsistent hitting, mostly on the part of the young and inexperienced players. The batting average showed improvement when the Flashes began to hit well in the middle of the season. Bubba Coker, winning several games with timely homeruns, led the team in hitting. Kenny Barnhill, although bothered throughout the season with arm trouble , pitched five important games near the season's end. The Flashes captured four wins from triple A teams, defeating Andrews 17-0 and 9-0 ; Myrtle Beach 8-1; and Georgetown 5-2. Highlighting the conference schedule were two victories over arch-rival Hemingway, 5-0 and 12-4; and two wins over the Rains-Centenary Bulldogs, 9-1 and 6-3. The only division loss was an 11-3 game against Hannah-Pamplico on the Johnsonville field. The Flashes entered the conference championship with a record of 11-3. The first game was played on the home field of the upper conference champions, and the Socastee Braves pleased the home crowd with a 3-0 victory. In the second game the Flashes possessed the homefield advantage and handed the Braves a 7-3 defeat. The championship game was held at the Coastal Carolina Field in Conway. Although the Flashes enjoyed a 1-0 first-inning lead, the Braves of Socastee came back to take a 3-1 victory. It marked the first time in thirteen years that Coach Wallace had not coached a conference champion. With many of the 1971 veterans returning and several players joining the team from a fine pony league, the Flashes and Coach Wallace are looking forward to a more successful baseball program in the 1972 season. (top) Ricky Coker fields a throw from Randy Willis as they warm up for a home game.

As the season progressed, the Flashes compiled a record of four wins and two losses in the triple A contests. Unfortunately, they dropped both of the games with Olanta, an A class school, by one run each. The Lower Conference 7 AA title was decided by a 4-3 clincher at Hannah, where Bubba Coker's out-of-the-park home run was the deciding factor. In the conference play-off, ttie title fell to Socastee when the Flashes lost 2 of? games. (top) John Gaster, a promising sophomore outfielder, smashes a foul ball down the left field line.

Under the coaching of Mr. Lohr , high school principal , the young and inexperienced team finished the season with a 14 record . The girls lost twice each to Marion and Darlington , but won a thriller with Dillon 54. Six of the seven team members will return to the court for the 1972 season, for which the prospects look brighter.

Such distinction forced the Johnsonville netters into strenuous competition with veteran teams from larger schools in the area. Seniors Randy Walley, Dale Walley, Billy McDaniel, and junior Johnny Tim· mons headed the team which fell twice to Darlington 6-0. (top) In practice Brad Mace waits for his op· ponent's se1Ve.

They saw ahead of them another tough battle for the 7AA crown , especially since they were missing twelve individuals who had led them to the state play-offs in 1970. The Flashes appeared to be outsized when compared with the other conference teams; therefore , Coaches Bob Rankin and Benny Carter set out to build a team that would rely upon speed and agility rather than size. The opening battle of the season was a home game against the Cainhoy Tigers, which ended in an impressive 34-14 victory for the Flashes. In their second consecutive home game the Johnsonville team overcame the Clio Cavaljers 10-8 when Binky Rankin scored two touchdowns on runs of 25 and 22 yards and added a two point conversion. The Flashes continued their winning streak by defeating Andrews 26-6. In the fourth quarter of this game, Fritz Edwards scored the last touchdown of the night with a magnificent 85 yard punt return. Johnsonville suffered its first loss when they met the Latta Vikings , who overpowered the Flashes 24-8. The next Friday night at Socastee, the team successfully opened their fivegame conference slate with a 14-8 victory over the Braves. Binky Rankin passed to Charles Cantey for a 61 yard pass-play in the third quarter to give the Flashes a touchdown. Although the Flashes outplayed the Aynor Blue Jackets the following week , they were outscored , losing both the game, 14-6, and the conference crown . HannahPamplico became the Flashes' fifth victil11 when they were defeated 15-8 on the Johnsonville field. On October 29 at Homecoming the Flashes again proved their ability with a resounding 43-16 victory over North Myrtle Beach . Playing better than ever, the team completed the season with wins over Hemingway, 34-0, and Lake City, 26-7. In coaching the 1971 team to a 9-2 record, Coaches Rankin and Carter ran their three-year record to 28-5-1. 42 �(far left) A glance back at the 1971 season brings memories of victory and defeat, but more than that, of challenge.

Fritz Edwards received the News and Courier's first "Low-Country Player of the Week" award for his efforts against Clio. Five team members made the 7AA allconference team. They were Charles Cantey, defensive halfback; Bucky Coker, defensive end; Fritz Edwards, defensive halfback ; Nicky Powell, defensive halfback; and Randy Willis, offensive guard. Charles Cantey was named to the State's AA all-state team as a defensive halfback. The Flashes were listed in the State's top five AA teams for two consecutive weeks preceding their loss to Latta. They ended the season second in the conference. The Flashes averaged 22.2 points per game, while they held their opponents to an average of l l .l.

From these sponsors the student body elected the queen by secret ballot. As the big night approached, speculation ran high on who the winner was. At tl1e same time the yearbook staff was diligently securing convertibles, making posters for the cars, and gathering information on each sponsor for the announcer to use. The cheerleader squad did its part by contracting a band and planning a dance in the gym. On tile night of October 19th, Mr. Randolph Willis presented tile outgoing queen, Mrs. Ann Johnson Edwards, and the eight candidates to the fans. They slowly circled the football field in convertibles before the game. Their escorts met them at the fifty yard line and escorted them to seats on the side line from where tlley watched the game. At half time the band quickly marched onto the field and formed a half circle. The candidates and their escorts then formed a parallel line in front of the band where they nervously awaited the announcement of the winner. Silence fell upon fans as Mr. Willis named Susan Blackwell the new 1971 Homecoming queen. The crowd burst into enthusiastic applause while Susan received her bouquet of mums and her crown from Mrs. Edwards. To add to the excitement of the night , tile final score was 43 to 16 in Johnsonville's favor. There was , indeed , reason to celebrate at the Homecoming dance afterwards.

The team was led by the offensive power of two freshmen starters, Glenda Walley and Margaret Hamilton , and the defensive experience of the three older starters, Debbie Lane , Elizabeth Taylor, and Cappy King. The season was off to a bad start, however, as the Flashes met their match in a fine Myrtle Beach team, but the IBS girls rebounded to go into the Christmas holidays with a 4-1 record after victories over Floyds, Rains-Centenary, Green Sea and North Myrtle Beach. The team began 1972 with a bad (above) The 1971-72 girls' basketball team was, kneeling, Margaret Hamilton, Charlotte Taylor , Debbie Lane, Glenda Walley , Pam Powell, Bessie Ruth Eaddy, standing, Cappy King, Elizabeth Taylor, Susanne Altman , Jannie Bell Allison, Debbie Mudge, Teresa Poston, and Janistine Gasque.

Two conference victories followed as the Flashes defeated Aynor and Socastee.

After this game the Lady Flashes surged ahead to overcome all opponents except HannahPamplico. They opened the second half of the season by hosting Hemingway Tigers, who went away in defeat after the officials called the game in the third quarter because of the time element. But the greatest thrill of the year came when in a rematch the Flashes defeated archrival Hannah-Pamplico after 14 unsuccessful tries. The victory placed the team in a tie for the conference lead. With easy wins over Aynor, Floyds, Rains Centenary , Green Sea, and North Myrtle Beach, that were games in which the second string saw much action, the girls held a conference record of 13-1, and excitedly anticipated the conference tournament.

They showed promise in two matches with a great St. John's team of Darlington and with Kingstree, but ironically , played poorly against a weak Manning team. The season opener was the key for the Flashes, as the team foiled Myrtle Beach with a strong second half and defeated them by 23 points. Floyds became the Flashes second victim three nights later. In the second week of conference play the team had easy wins over both Rains-Centenary and Green Sea, but shortly before the Christmas holidays they suffered a disappointing loss to conference foe North Myrtle Beach. The Flashes hosted the second annual Johnsonville Invitational Tournament, the last week of 1971. The expanded tournament consisted of six game s and six teams. The Flashes watched the first night before bombing outmanned Olanta in the semi-finals, which seeded the team against powerful AAA Howard in the tournament fina ls. However, the Johnsonville boys proved to be too much and beat the Tigers 66-60 to take the title, leaving Howard with runner-up honors. 1972 began on the right note as the Flashes won a close game over HannahPamplico in the H-P gymnasium and went on to easily defeat Aynor and Socastee. But Myrtle Beach earned its revenge with a nine point lead as the Flashes finished their road trips in disappointment. But the disappointment did not match that which followed as the visiting Hemingway Tigers came from behind late in the fourth quarter to edge the Flashes 70-66. However, the season was far from being over and brighter days were ahead for the Johnsonville team. 52 �(top left) Randy Eaddy brings the ball around a Hannah-Pamplico Raider as Charles Cantey gets into position for the play.

However , the Floyds' Eagles proved too much as they racked the visiting Flashes. But the team bounced back with win s over Rains-Centenary and Green Sea before their big match with North Myrtle Beach, the only undefeated team in the co nference. The Flashes pleased the home fans with a great defensive game and upset the Chiefs , 76-59. They closed out their regular season firSl with a victory over Socastee and then a disa ppointing loss to the Hemingway Tigers, which gave an overall 15-5 record . In the conference playoffs which took place at Conway High School, the Flashes first defeated Green Sea before falling to Hemingway in the semi-final round. Named to the All Conference team were Bruce AJlison, second string, and Randy Eaddy, first string. 55 �Cheerleaders boost spirit of JV teams Composed of eighth and ninth grade girls, the junior varsity cheerleaders attended all football and basketball games to spur the JV teams to victory over their opponents. During the summer, the squad sold Stanley Products to earn the money with which to buy gold crushed velvet for making new hot pants uniforms. Then in the fall they sold chocolate bars in order to purchase sweaters, which the team had never had. They finished the year with an over-night party at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Linda Sparrow.

This was due to the fact that many eligible freshmen and sophomores competed in the varsity program; therefore , Coach Henry Sparrow led a small , young, inexperienced team. Facing a schedule of tough opponents, the Flashes managed to win only one game of seven contests. They lost tough non-conference games to the Hebron varsity, Lake City, and Andrews before dropping their first conference game in a thriller with Socastee. The Flashes also fell to Aynor and HannahPamplico although they showed improvement in each encounter. The final game was a home game with arch-rival Hemingway, and the Flashes came through with a big win, 22-0. (lop) J.V. foolball tri-captains were Mark King, Jimmy Nesmith, and Hal Lewis.

After cutting the team twice , rookie coach Wade Jordan faced a tough schedule with a squad of thirteen girls. The inexperienced team opened their season in a home contest again.s t a strong Terrel's Bay team, who proved too strong for them. In their next home games the girls first defeated the Aynor Blue Jackets before falling to Hannah-Pamplico in a thriller. Then taking to the road , the Flashes brought home victories over Aynor, Pleasant Hill, and Hannah-Pamplico. The Flashes continued their winning streak with a home victory over Pleasant Hill before losing to Terrel's Bay in a close, hardfought game and also falling in their final two games to the Hemingway Tigers. The girls entered the Hemingway Invitation J.V . Tournament with a 5-4 record. In their semi-final game the Flashes defeated Hannah-Pamplico and went on to earn the runn~r-up trophy after losing the tournament championship to Hemingway. :top) The 1971-72 Junior Varsity Girls' 3asketball team consisted of, first row: darsha Avant ; Rena Dale Dennis; Eva Kay 3artell; Cynthia Evans; Althea Marlowe ; )onnell Stone ; Doris Jean Dennis; Gretchen 3aker; second row: Tangela Curry, manager; )andra Gaster, manager; Cindy McDaniel; ~earl Skinner ; Jo Ann Weaver; Joyce John;on; Angie Taylor, manager; and Coach Wade lordan.

Coached by Bob Rankin , the team had average experience but suffered through several close losses. The Flashes opened the season with a disappointing loss to Terrel's Bay. However, their second game ended with an impressive victory over Aynor , but they once again experienced defeat by losing a thriller with arch-rival HannahPamplico in the final seconds of their third game . Then taking to the road, they put down both Aynor and Pleasant Hill before once again falling to Hannah-Pamplico. But with the return to their home court, the boys first took a big win from Kingstree and later scored a victory over Pleasant Hill . However their winning streak was not to last as they dropped their last three games, one to Terrel's Bay and two consecutive games to Hemingway. The Flashes entered the Hemingway Invitational Junior Varsity tournament with a 5-5 record. After a big win over the Hemingway Tigers, they fell to Hannah-Pamplico in the championship game and brought home the runner-up trophy.

The Council taught the principles of self-government, promoted student-faculty cooperation, and enhanced school activities. Projects instigated by the Council included a fund-raising campaign for Tara Hall, a home for needy boys. In conjunction with this , Father Owen E. O'Sullivan spoke to the student body on the joys and problems of maintaining such a home. In answer to his pleas for financial aid, the students raised $357 .00 through donations and gate receipts of the annual powderpuff football game , and they also conducted a food drive at Christmas. To recognize outstanding citizens at JHS , the Council urged the election of a "Citizen of the Month."

The local JHS chapter stimulates and rewards the achievements of diligent students who are interested in learning. It also encourages and assists its members to continue their education after high school. In November the club members undertook a service project. They collected food labels from each homeroom and returned them to the various food companies, who sent money to UNICEF according to the number of labels received. The club also raised approximately one hundred dollars by selling Stanley products. The money helped defray the expenses of fourteen members who attended the state convention in Columbia in February.

First , it has kept the students, faculty, and community fully aware of the new happenings around school. It has also created and expressed school opinion on a variety of issues, one of which was the need for benches on the campus. The Flashes has acted as a means of unifying the school by encouraging and stimulating worthwhile activities. At the same time it has trained students in the application of the principles of journalism and has enabled them to explore journalism as a possible career. On November 4, seventeen staff members attended a workshop at Aynor High School, where they heard a keynote address by Mr. Bob Werich, editor of the Marion Star. During the business session , Tommy McCutchen won the chairmanship of the District V South Carolina Scholastic Press Association. As a result of his election, JHS will host the 1972 district meeting.

On a school level, the band members boosted the football and basketball teams to victory with an enthusiastic pep band at all home games and at pep rallies. They also played at the annual Miss Gold and Bl ack Beauty Pageant and at the graduation exercises. In serving the community the band held fall and spring concerts, marched in the local Fire Prevention Week and Christmas parades, and provided music for an American Legion dance. On a state level, seven students attended a band camp at Furman University during the summer, and a specially selected group participated in the governor's Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Columbia. The band also received an invitation to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Savannal1, Georgia. With the band's fifth year of existence came the organization of a Band Booster Club, which undertook as its first project the revival of the Halloween Carnival. The club raised approximately sixteen hundred dollars at the event to buy uniforms and equipment for the band. (above) The band performed during halftime at several of the home football games.

In the fall they presented a program that ended with the popular song, "Oh, Happy Happy Day," which brought spontaneous applause from the student body. In observance of Christmas, the group presented a program of seasonal music on the day school was dismissed for the holidays. Spring provided another occasion for the girls to entertain the student body. Finally following a tradition of JHS, the Chorus sang for the graduation exercises.

Therefore, the members assisted in the organization of a Junior Music Club to cultivate an interest in creative music, to encourage service to others through music, and to create courteous and appreciative audiences. The new club held monthly programs, which the members created and presented themselves. (top) Junior Music Club officers were, standing, Thomas Garris, secretary; Dale Poston, president; seated, Trudy Powell, treasurer; and Thornette Cooper, vicepresident.

They helped students, checked in and shelved books, wrote overdue book notices , typed book cards, and operated the various audiovisual equipment. The experience allowed them to explore librarianship as a possible career. (top) Wanda Haselden, Jackie Edgeworth, Movieta Altman, and Elaine Gaster served in the elementary library.

To acquaint themselves with the role of a teacher, club members volunteered to work during study hall periods and after school. The club also supported the fund-raising project for Tara Hall and sponsored Midge OuRant as Miss FTA in the local Christmas parade. (top) Leaders of the FTA were Mrs. Sarah Eaddy, advisor; Trudy Powell, president; Dale Postpn, vice-president; Cerise Eaddy, secretary ; and Midge DuRant, treasurer.

The club also sought to instill in each JHS student a sense of pride in himself and his school. The group undertook several fundraising projects in order to buy a block J and a jacket or a sweater for each member. In the fall the club sold chocolate candy bars. Later it sponsored the annual powder-puff football game in which the mighty seniors and freshmen faced the powerful juniors and sophomores, who won the game 13-7. During half-time activities Maxie Davis, who sponsored Janistine Gasque, proudly accepted his crown as the new Powder Puff Queen. Since the members voted to donate the game's gate receipts to Tara Hall, a home in Hemingway for needy boys, the group found itself faced with the need for more fund-raising projects. Therefore, as basketball season went into full swing, the group operated a concession stand at all home games, and the profits went into the fund for jackets and sweaters. (top) Block J officers were Debbie Lane, sec· retary ; Coach Rankin, advisor; Nicky Powell, vice-president; Charles Cantey, president; Tony Hanna, treasurer; and Coach Buddy Wallace, advisor.

Mr. William T. Thayer , who drove a bus himself due to a shortage of qualified drivers, advised the group and outlined the rules for safe operation of the transportation system. He addressed the club on such topics as bus discipline , stop locations, and route structure. He also stressed upon all drivers the importance of maintaining a clean bus and the need to get students to school on time. Throughout the year the club promoted its goal of efficiency.

The members, working towards the development of an expressive and well-disciplined body and voice, presented T'he Christ· mas Voice to the student body on December 14, 1971. A bake sale, held on Saturday, December 4, provided the ' money to buy books and props for the performance.

Club members participated in local FFA contests, National FFA Week, and the local Christmas parade. They worked towards goals of establishing ecology sites in the community and landscaping the high school campus. Above all, the group strove to make each young man feel that he was a part of something worthwhile. (top) Advisor Mr. James W.

The final year involved new privileges and new responsibilities; therefore, the class endeavored to elect the most capable and conscientious students to lead them. Tony Hanna won the office of president, while Nicky Powell captured the vice-presidency. Timmy Miller and Susan Blackwell served respectively as secretary and treasurer. In addition to these officers, each homeroom chose a representative to serve on the Student Council. Winning these positions were Charles Cantey, Chan Cox, and Debbie Ammons.

At the same time he encountered new choices and more difficult challenges. Each found himself faced with questions that demanded answers. Did he want to continue his education? Would he go to college ? If so, which one? Would he attend TEC? What field would he study? How could he finance more education? What job did he want? Eventually from the emotional and intellectual interrogation of "Who am I?" , originated another clearly defined goal, one he would meet head-on and conquer. Thus each senior learned first hand the meaning of the old adage, "Never ending, still beginning."

The guidance counselor, Mrs. Thelma Eaddy, reviewed student records in May , 1971 , to make certain that each senior would have four units of English, three of social studies, two of mathematics, one of science, one of physical education, and at least seven of electives at the end of the 1971-72 school term. In their last year the seniors could take journalism as an elective. Although the class was open to both juniors and seniors, it consisted mainly of twelfth graders who were members of the yearbook staff. Therefore, they used the class as a work period. Psychology and analysis were also offered to seniors to prepare them to meet the challenges of everyday life and college.

Some grieved at being forced to leave the security of a familiar situation and hesitated to embark upon new experiences. Others recognized the moment as the attainment of a long-desired goal and eagerly anticipated the adventures of the future . However, all faced one undeniable truth: it was a moment of farewell - a farewell to friends, to habits , and to childhood. Therefore, with graduation behind him, each individual departed into a new and unexplored world - that of an adult. But graduation had taught one final high school lesson - growing up is learning to say good-bye.

They began their task by electing capable and efficient officers, who led them through the various stages of preparation. First came the group projects to raise the needed 1200 dollars. Then at the beginning of second semester, the class met several times to decide upon the date , theme, class motto , colors, and flower. Afterwards, the officers and sponsors ordered the needed supplies with which the class decorated the gym in April. Finally after eight months of work the big night arrived when the juniors could sit back and revel in their accomplishment.

At the end of the three week campaign, the class had earned over six hundred dollars, and Melanie Ward, junior class president, had captured the prize given to the over-all high salesman. Next, the group sponsored a barbecued chicken supper on January fifth. After a day of cutting up chickens, making slaw, slicing cakes, serving plates, and washing dirty pots and pans, the class had brought the total in the treasury to approximately eleven hundred dollars, and they began to make plans for spending it.

At the beginning of the third week in April, the juniors started spending every free minute in the gym while the seniors spent their time trying to sneak in to see the decorations. Then on Friday night, May fifth, after tedious hours of hard work, the class of '73 welcomed the class of '72 to a "Love Story."

Since they were no longer the youngest class, they experienced a greater status and exerted more influence on school happenings. Also being familiar with the established procedures and customs , the sophomores displayed their increased self-assurance by more actively participating in extra-curricular activities, and thus they acquired an even greater feeling of belonging to their school.

However, each freshman soon found his proper place and eagerly looked forward to being an upper classman.

Some decided to enter the vocational field of agriculture while others broadened their knowledge for the business world. Many of the girls chose home economics in preparation for their future homes and families, and others chose the college curriculum to insure their future education at an institution of higher learning.

Mr. H. M. Floyd, Superintendent of District Five, drew upon his years of experience to establish a bond of understanding and cooperation between the schools and community. Mr. L. D. Bradley, Administrative Superintendent, organized and supervised the transportation of students to and from school while Mr. Jerry Powell as Federal Coordinator channelled federal funds into projects and equipment that would upgrade the educational backgrounds of the students.

Mr. Thomas Lohr, principal, and Mrs. Thelma Eaddy, counselor, consulted individually with each student in the spring to ensure that he was selecting the proper courses to prepare him for the future. Then throughout the 1971-72 school year each student felt free to talk with either Mr. Lohr or Mrs. Eaddy concerning any difficult situation because both were always willing to listen and give a fair evaluation of the problem. Mrs. Eaddy also worked extensively with the seniors in helping them to choose a college or school for future education and to obtain admission and fmancial aid.

Miss Powell carried the college-bound seniors through English literature from Beowulf to the modern writers while the vocationally-minded seniors studied contemporary works by world-wide authors. Junior courses emphasized the development of American literature, and the freshmen and sophomore classes became acquainted with the various types of literary works. All teachers used the library facilities to supplement the textbooks; and Mrs. Elaine Eaddy, librarian, conducted several sessions to teach students to use the library to its fullest. Mrs. Timmons worked extensively to upgrade the reading ability of those students who could not succeed in a regular English class.

The math department acquired an additional teacher that reduced the size of the classes and permitted more individual instruction. The math teachers also made more extensive use of a series of tapes which supplemented the regular classroom program and gave the students a greater depth of understanding. On the other hand, the science department ordered new equipment for both the classrooms and the laboratory, which would allow a practical application of the scientific concepts discussed in class.

(above far right) In his physical science, physics, and chemistry courses, Mr. Mendel Poston frequently holds lab sessions. (right) Mr. Buddy Wallace teaches biology, general science, and distributive education as well as coaches varsity boys' basketball and baseball. �Classes give storehouse of knowledge Whether the course was typing, French, world history, or psychology, the teachers had one main objective to impart to each student a storehouse of knowledge upon which he could draw in his everyday life. Psychology helped to develop a greater understanding of human behavior while the French classes not only taught grammatical structure and pronunciation but also promoted international goodwill by emphasizing the culture and customs of France. World history and United States history, on the other hand , provided a review of past civilizations and events that determined the present world situation. The business courses taught skills such as typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand that would benefit the student in his later life. (top) Miss Dotherine Williams teaches business English, first year typing, and general business while Mrs. Madeline Lyerly teaches Typing I and II, bookkeeping, Shorthand I and II , and business law and office practice.

Mrs. Mary Sue Altman, who was formerly a math teachers' aide, and Mrs. Louise Mace monitored the studyhalls and encouraged each pupil to use his time wisely and to avoid wasting even a minute. The boys' and girls' physical education classes, taught by Mr. Bob Rankin and Mrs. Deloris Brock, promoted good health and physical development as well as a greater appreciation of sports in general. Participation in the band, which Mr. William Thayer directed, developed the musical talents and abi· lities of the students and taught the importance of unity and co-ordina· tion. (top left) Mrs. Mary Sue Altman and (top right) Mrs. Louise Mace, study hall monitors, often aided the teachers by helping with some of the time-consuming paper work.

Mr. Jowers' masonry classes built a new field house with dressing rooms and a concession center for use at the football and baseball games. They also worked on the construction of a new rescue squad building. For those students interested in an agricultural future , Mr. Tanner taught basic agricultural skills and agricultural mechanics that stressed the upkeep of farm machinery. A course in horticultural provided a background for landscaping and gardening. Mr. Dunahoe's carpentry classes helped build several houses in the community, and Mrs. Sparrow's home economics classes learned basic home-making skills. (top left) Mr. J. W.

The program was based upon the theory that an individual can learn more if he is able to progress at his own rate. Therefore, each student had his own prescribed program and did not Jose time trying to keep up with others or did not get frustrated by being forced to wait on the slower-paced members Larraine Allison Gale Altman Jakey Altman Michael Altman Sharon Altman Paula Ammons Pam Barefoot Joann Barr Sandra Barr Diane Belin Teddy Bishop Pam Bobo John Bray Ella Brown Randy Burkhart Ronnie Burkhart Mona Sue Burris Virginia Cameron Mitchell Collins Brenda Cox Franky Cox Wanda Creel Bruce Cribb Mary Ann Cribb Carolyn Davis Lacy Davis Marion Davis Shelia Davis Richard Deas Doris Jean Dennis Pete Dennis James Eaddy Julia Eaddy Mae Francis Eaddy Patricia Eaddy Rosa Mae Eaddy 118 ~~n~e e~::·m'::t:~p~~ee~a~~ :~:ts~u~ report cards were issued in the course.

In addition to learning the location ·of all the large countries in the world, students explored the social structures and living habits of the Americas. Through a study of different forms of government, they became more familiar with democracy as compared to communism. They also learned to form opinions and beliefs about the forefathers of their own country and the principles upon which it is built. in Gary Hanna Eve Hartfield Ricky Hicks Laytpha Jones Russell Lyerly Scott Morris Genese Hanna Helen Hartfield Mark Holder Costa King Mary Mack Kaye Perry Mike Hanna Kathy Hartfield Duane Howard Gay Lambert Selwyn Marlow Larry Phillips Rodney Hanna Lynn Haselden Wayne Huggins Steve Lewis Tommy Marlowe Willis Port 125 Steve Hanna Keith Haselden Martin Humphries Willie Van Lewis Randy Marshall Cindy Poston (top of opposite page) Stacked chairs add the extra height that is needed even though the element of safety is lacking.

The reading classes concentrated on getting students to read critically in order to be able to distinguish between fact and fiction and to interpret the material. On the other hand, the science classes used the periodical Cu"ent Science to keep pupils informed of scientific affairs. But the study of the paper demanded the skills learned in the reading classes. Therefore, science and reading complemented each other. (above) Lunch means standing in line, but in the end it is worth the waiting.

Not only did they face headon the experience of attending a different school, but they also faced new learning experiences. For instance, students encounterec physical education and the new math project, IMS, for the first time . But adjustment seemed to come easily, and each child soon recognized the value of studying and settled down to gain more knowledge .

The small classes allowed the two teachers, Miss Marva Gail Johnson and Miss Earline Fleming, to give the students much individual attention as they taught basic mathematical and reading skills. They also tried to develop each child's understanding of himself and others so that when he was academically able to return to a regular classroom, he could also function successfully in most social situations which he would encounter.

The children, divided into two groups, attended either the morning or afternoon session where they learned to study and explore their environment, to develop skills and concepts basic to future learning, and most of all, to live harmoniously with other children and adults. Kindergarten provided a year in which the five-year-old could deal with the expanding world at his own pace. Teachers and aides gave special consideration to ensure that every pupil experienced a sense of security and selfconfidence in an environment outside his home . Learning experiences pre- pared each child for the first grade . He worked to develop his visual and aural ruscrimination through the use of records, tapes , charts, flashcards and games. On the other hand, balance bars and builrung toys helped to develop the physical coordination of each child.

All courses emphasized the need for independent thought , good human relationships, and social responsibilities. Simultaneously, the teachers concentrated on instilling mathematical concepts, developing reading ability, and improving each individual's use of the English language.

Since there was such a large tum-out, the volunteer coaches divided the boys into four teams , the Cowboys, the Rams , the Colts, and the Packers. Each team played once a week, and at the end of the season , the first place team , the Cowboys, played an all-star team made up of players from the other three. The all -star team won. Each team had its own set of cheerleaders, whom the captains of the varsity cheerleaders had chosen. (top) The Packers were , 1st row, Steve McWhite; Stanley McWhite ; Robert Nesmith; Kay Evans; 2nd row, George Skinner; John Henery; Johnny Skinner; Raymond Allison; and Allen McKenzie.

Each teacher's objective was to help his pupils gain basic information and to develop the habits, skills, and attitudes appropriate for children nine to ten years old. Teachers also stressed the importance of the student's understanding of himself not only as an individual, but as a member of his family , school, and neighborhood. Through a thorough knowledge of himself and his role in society, each student became a better citizen.

For most of them school was not a new experience be· cause they had attended kindergarten the previous year, and the only difference was that they moved from the Middle School to Johnsonville. One of the first tasks which the teachers undertook was to instill in each student skills that are fundamental to all the language arts. They taught aural and visual discrimination and strived to develop speech and word association skills. Renee Ard Ivan Altman Gerald Atkinson Tommy Avant Wanda Avant Leroy Barr Raymond L.

At the year's half-way point, Mrs. Godbolt replaced Mrs. Stackhouse , who had resigned. The children in the special education classes undertook projects which allowed them to experience some degree of success, and they were encouraged to help themselves by being permitted to progress at individual speeds. Each teacher also sought to instill in every child a sense of self-confidence and self-esteem which helped him to learn to reason for himself. {top) Mrs. Howard uses many techniques to help students upgrade their reading abiliues. {right) Mrs. Poston often reads stories to tpe members of the special education class as they work on handicrafts.

Mrs. Martha Bell, secretary to Mr. McAlister, performed many secretarial and clerical tasks including collecting lunch money at the cafeteria door. Mrs. Mary Generette, replacing Mrs. Emily Lewis second semester, used the duplicating machine to keep teachers supplied with supplementary materials, as well as tests. Since Mrs. Mary Dean Huggins served as school nurse for Elementary, Middle and High Schools, Mrs. Blossom Generette, her aide, remained in the elementary health room. Through the combined co-operation of each of these individuals, the elementary school office functioned both smoothly and efficiently during the 1971-72 school term. (top) Mr .

Each teacher sought to instill a sense of social responsibility and a respect for good human relationships, as well as to contribute to each student's fund of basic knowledge. But perhaps most important, they encouraged students to cultivate independent thinking.

Qeft) Mrs. Veneice Brown and Mrs. Nell Eaddy rely upon charts to help teach cursive wr iting to the second graders. (below) Also teaching second grade are Mrs. Burgess Altman and Miss Naomi Dicks. 155 �Departments aid students Variations in the instructional program of the elementary school helped to meet the needs of both the students and faculty. While the remedial reading department aided students who were reading below their grade level and helped classroom teachers to utilize the latest methods of reading instruction, special education classes provided students who could not succeed academically with the opportunity to gain the foundation they Jacked and to return to a regular classroom situation. In addition, the music department gave each student a better appreciation of the fine arts, and the classroom teacher gained a few minutes for relaxation as Miss Scarborough took over each class. (top) The special education classes are conducted by Mrs. Nellie Poston, teachers' aide; Miss Katie Godbolt ; and Mrs. Mollie Robertson.

(above right) As elementary librarian, Mrs. Jill Chandler encourages students to read for pleasure as well as for information. (right) The remedial reading teacher, Mrs. Rose Howard, and her aide, Mrs. Ida Mae Tune, strive to increase students reading levels by providing relaxed and pleasant surroundings for learning. 156 �Maintenance workers play important role The efficient operation of the Johnsonville schools was the result not only of the teachers and administrators but also · of the lunchroom workers and maintenance staff. At eight o'clock each morning Mrs. Essie Davis, cafeteria supervisor, and her staff began preparing a wellbalanced and nutritional lunch whlch they served to both the elementary and high school students. Mr. John Davis and Mr. Cephus Bridge, on the other hand assumed responsibility for the upkeep of the campus and classroom buildings along with Mrs. Rhoda Poston and Mrs. Dorothy Thomas.

STUDENT LIFE �LEARNING ACTIVITIES ARE Joseph Addison once wrote, "Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another."

The first was the Homecoming dance in October for which the "Knights" of Kingstree provided the music. The second event was the Jong anticipated Junior-Senior in April at which the Junior Class honored the Senior Class by providing them with "A Psychedelic Trip." Although the formal social events were few, the students found no difficulty in socializing whenever an opportunity occurred - in class, at a ball game, between classes, at recess, or after school.

Posters, signs, and banners often covered the halls and doors in the high school building, and students wore buttons and ribbons which proclaimed "Tank the Tigers", " Boss the Raiders'', or "Scalp the Braves." Students were proud of JHS, and they directed their energies into not only athletics, but into worthwhile academic and social projects as well, to prove their pride. �STUDENT BODY ~\, THE~ GDLDErv_ -!- FLASHES, MarilynOarTis demorutrate•hers<;hOOl•pirit Cheerleade .. ignitespiritatweeklypeprally. ~ I , _/ 1 1 /j /, · II _ The commun:ty supports a winninro team �JeanCh•plinishuinr a hudtimeselLinrtheohakenatafoutballgame Homecoming is such fun!

With major changes and new advances affecting al· most every form of math and science, students faced ever increasing demands not only in school, but in every phase of life. Courses ranging from general math to analysis, which was offered for the first time this year, and from physical science to physics sought to provide student.s with the basie understanding to meet such needs.

While striving for physical fitness, the boys' classes worked out on weights, participated in tumbling stunts, played basketball or engaged in track events. These sports helped to build up forgotten muscles and improve agility. The girls' classes played basketball and volleyball, as well as folk danced. The marching band was the result of many trying hours spent in afternoon practice. The band demonstrated its skill at pep rallies, the local Christmas parades, a February joint concert with the chorus and the Miss Gold and Black Beauty Contest.

Preparation of the day's meals commenced as early as eight o'clock each school day. The first group of students arrived at ten-thirty, and it was often after one o'clock when all finished lunch. Then the staff gathered the debris and cleaned the utensils for the next day. Influencing both students and community by their appearances, the Johnsonville schools' campuses required constant care, as did the buildings.

With the transition from the middle school to the high school, the freshmen found themselves the youngest class once again. At the opening of school , they were often in a state of confusion- lost and even in the wrong classrooms at times. They also encountered several decisions which would have a large effect on their future. Faced with a choice of courses , some decided upon vocation courses that would prepare them for a later occupation. Many of the girls chose home economics in anticipation of someday getting married ; and to produce a basis for future education at an institution of higher learning, others settled upon the college preparatory subjects. The freshmen also took advantage of the opportunity to join the extra-curricular activities that formed a part of high school life. They became active members in many of the clubs and organizations and added their athletic abilities to the various varsity teams. Supporting and adding its share of enthusiasm to the pep rallies, the class demonstrated that it had readily switched its school spirit from the middle school to high school. With these diversified gains behind them , the ninth graders looked forward to new challengestheir freshman mission accomplished. Next year as sophomores they will at least have the satisfaction of being upperclassmen . Freshman Class officers are Eric Tanner, Treasurer; Suzanne Altman, Secretary; Greg Furches, President; and Dale Batchlor, Vice-President.

Consisting of close to thirty-five students last year, the total band membership in the 1970-1971 school year was fifty musicians. Band Director, Mr. William Thayer encourages every student to become proficient on his instrument. Reaching a goal set several years ago, the JHS band learned to march in 1970. Performances at all home games and at several games in other towns required perseverance as the band members exercised marching routines and practiced musical pieces almost every day during the season. The band also boosted school spirit by adding to the enthusiasm of the pep rallies. At Christmas they participated in several local parades. The unit strived to work as a single aggregate at all times, not only in precision marching, but alw with their music. Therefore, a concert in the fall and a joint performance with the chorus in February provided the band with an opportunity to demonstrate their musical abilities. In March the concert band provided the background music for the Miss Gold and Black Contest. Dale Poston, a member of the band, spent six weeks in Brevard, North Carolina, at a summer music camp. Dale attended this camp under the David Mudge Memorial Scholarship. 56 �All those long hours of practice on the football field have really paid off. Dale Poston attended a six·week summer music camp at Brevard College on the David Russell Mudge Memorial Scholarship.

Mr. L. D. Bradley provided these drivers with the opportunities to discuss various problems concerning their routes and monthly reports on mileage, distance, and the average number of passengers carried.

In the fall they presented a program of songs to commemorate South Carolina's Tricentennial. Later their annual Christmas concert conveyed the cheerfulness and peace of the Christmas season. After a joint concert with the band in February, the chorus concluded their year by performing at the graduation exercises.

So that it could better serve its purpose as a link between the student body and the administration, the council established a suggestion box in the lunchroom, and council members encouraged all students to offer constructive suggestions for the betterment of the school. It also sponsored a food sale during large recess to raise money to pay the dues for its membership in the SCASC and the NASC.

SPORTS 69 �FLASHES WIN 7AA It all began on the ten th day of August when boys left their jobs in the grocery stores, service stations and tobacco fields to become men - men who would endure two weeks of the daily double. The cold, wet practices in the morning and the blistering hot afternoon sessions were all part of the game. The battle for the 7 AA Conference title was certain to be a tough one, and the 1970 edition of the Flashes were really not figured in the picture . According to sports writers' predictions, "the Flashes had their work cut out for them in order to place any better than fourth in the league." Very few people were impressed when the Flashes were tied 6-6 by Cainhoy in the season's opener, but signs of future glory were evident when the team took a pair of 21-6 decisions from Clio and the Andrews Yellow Jackets. Then came a 21-0 rout of the Williamsburg Lions . A battle of the unbeatens was in line next , and the Flashes proved their greatness with a 7-6 win over the powerfu l Latta Red Raiders. October 9 was Homecoming and time for the first step on the road to the conference crown. The Socastee Braves were outclassed in that game, 21 -7. Aynor's Jackets were defeated when the Flashes relied on the toe of Bubba Coker and a 27 yard field goal for a 3-0 triumph. Another scare was in store for the Flashes before they spo iled the Hannah-Pamplico Homecoming, 23-22. After falling behind 22-0 in the first half, the Johnsonville forces came back in the second half for their seventh straight victory. Against the North Myrtle Beach Chiefs the conference title was at stake, and on a rain-soaked field a 20-14 decision went to the Flashes along with their second straight conference championship. The game with Hemingway merely put the icing on the cake with a resounding 50-8 spanking of the Tigers. Johnsonville now owned an undefeated regular season to complement what was probably their most exciting football season ever. Playing in the state playoffs was nothing new for a Johnsonville team, but the "men" from Cross overpowered the Flashes on November 13. In spite of the fact that the YOPTION seemed to go as well as usual, the talent laden Trojans rolled up a 28-19 victory . While at the helm of the Flashes, coaches Bob Rankin and Bennie Carter enjoyed another great season and ran their two year record to 19-3-1. Coach Rankin remarked that it was the most satisfying season he had ever coached. Stephen Mudge, Bubba Coker, and Billy McDaniel served as Tricaptains. 70 �CONFERENCE CROWN SCOREBOARD JHS 6 6 CAINHOY JHS 21 - 6 CLIO JHS 21 6 ANDREWS JHS 21 0 WILLIAMSBURG JHS 6 LATIA 7 JHS 21 JHS 7 SOCASTEE 3 0 AYNOR JHS 23 22 HAN AH-PAMPLICO JHS 20 - 14 NORTH MYRTLE BEACH JHS 50 - 8 HEM!

Coach Wallace makes a strong point in the Flashes' 6245 tourney win over Floyds. After the reclassification of interscholastic sports this year, the Flashes found that the 7 AA conference offered tremendous competition. The battle for the regular season crown was a battle to the end, and the Flashes took third place honors in the nine member league. The schedule included games against such tough opponents as Kingstree, Hannah-Pamplico, Rains-Centenary , No rth Myrtle Beach, and Hemingway. JHS's first holiday tournament was a financial success, but Rains-Centenary captured the championship title in the final game. Both Rains-Centenary and the Flashes took easy wins from Pleasant Hill and Olanta until their collision in the tournament's finale. Although the team was plagued by inconsistency throughout the season, there were moments of brightness-a 33 point out-put in one quarter against North Myrtle Beach, a 49-45 victory over Socastee in seven overtimes, and wins over arch-rival Hemingway in both games. The team ended the regular season with an 11-5 conference record and a 13-8 overall slate. 76 �FINISH THIRD IN LEAGUE SCOREBOARD JOHNSONVILLE KINGSTREE 40 41 JOHNSONVILLE FLOYDS 55 54 JOHNSONVILLE RAINS-CENTENARY 81 87 JOHNSONVILLE GREEN SEA 84 45 ... 82 JOHNSONVILLE NORTH MYRTLEBEACH 74 CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT JOH SONVILLE PLEASANT HILL 69 47 JOHNSONV ILLE OLANTA 87 52 ...

STANDING: Coach Henry Sparrow , Cappy King, Elizabeth Taylor, Ann Ramage, Jannie Allison, Ann Johnson, and Janistine Gasque. A much stronger and experienced squad turned out early in November when Henry Sparrow inherited the reins as varsity girls' coach. Experience and the willingness to work was the key to success for the senior-laden squad. There were a number of changes in the team this season. A disciplined offense and an aggressive defense were evidence of long hours of hard work. After five games, the team remained undefeated, but it met its match and dropped all four of the regular season games to Hemingway and Hannah-Pamplico. At the close of first semester, the addition of 5' 11" Lucille Weaver made a contribution in both the rebounding and scoring departments. Lucille broke into the starting line-up and averaged 13 points a game to lead the scoring. The Lady Flashes' most brilliant performance of the season came when they demolished visiting Green Sea, 79-21. The score was a school record for varsity girls and climaxed the team's most successful season in years . As the regular season came to a close, third seating in the conference tournament and a 13-4-1 record belonged to the team. Lucille Weaver finds no opposition in raking the boards clean against the Lady Raiders. 80 �CARRY GIRLS THROUGH WINNING SEASON Senior players Sissy King, Ann Ramage , Ann Johnson, Mary Francis Durant, and Mary Ann Chandler and LuciUe Weaver , who are not pictured, leave a big vacancy for underclassmen to fill.

A group that was very actively involved this year was the cheerleader squad. Responsible for directing school spirit in the proper channels the cheerleaders were instrumental in almost every team victory. Unlike most school organ izations, the cheerleaders worked and practiced the year around. Perhaps the most difficult part of their task was the hot summer practices. This included a week at ACA camp which is a requirement for every cheerleader at JHS. Each member of the squad had to maintain good physical fitness in order to endure the week of camp and the six months of cheerleading which followed. Jean Chaplin was elected head cheerleader for the second straight year. 84 �EFFORTS BRIGHTEN WINNING SEASON 1970-71 Cheerleaders, KNEELING: Jean Chaplin, Melanie Ward, Debra Jones.

In pre-game warm-ups, Timmy Miller takes a cut during batting practice. Having a strong nucleus from last year's 18-3 team, the 1971 Flashes were strong competitors in the 7 AA conference this year. With strong pitching and fielding, as well as a powerful offensive punch, the '70 Flashes whipped six straight opponents before dropping a 4-3 squeaker to Kingstree. After compiling a perfect conference mark and winning the 7 A crown, the squad reached the lower state finals and then bowed to Edisto in the second and third games of the series. A total of four runs in only three defeats of the season was the margin which marred a twe lve game winning streak. JHS took the opening game of the series 6-0, but the Blue Devils bounced back to capture the title by defeating the Flashes 4-2 and 2-1 . 87 �Senior players Bubba Coker, Glenn Meridth, Kenny Barnhill, and Charles Hanna offer the leadership that any team must have.

Playing together and becoming conditioned for varsity competition was probably the most satisfying goal achieved during the season although the team did register convincing wins over arch-rivals Hemingway and HannahPamplico . As the enthusiasm in varsity football increased this season, so did that of the jun ior varsity team. The JV's worked under their first full-time coach , who took the time to start with the basic football techniques. As head mentor, Henry Sparrow directed his team through a highly successful campaign , finishing with a 5-3 over-all record.

A panel composed of faculty members from the Middle School chose six girls for full time cheerleaders, as well as two alternates, on the basis of personal appearance, ability to perform the cheers, and voice projection. Beginning in September, these girls concentrated on developing new cheers, improving formations, and promoting school spirit. They cheered at all JV football and basketball games throughout the year. In order to obtain JHS monograms on their uniforms, the cheerleaders sponsored a bake sale in the early fa ll . Mrs. Linda Sparrow, who undertook the responsibility of sponsoring the cheerleaders, traveled to all the games with the girls. Mrs. Sparrow experiences a moment of frustration .

The Middle School's office and its library, which Mrs. Lura Poston operated efficiently, served the teachers' needs. Being a classroom teacher for many years enabled Mr. Lane to understand his teachers and to help them find solutions to their problems.

Seventh and eighth grade teachers, with a look to the future, prepared students for the coming challenges of high school. Not only did these teachers contribute to each student's fund of basic knowledge, but they also instilled a sense of social responsibility and a respect for good human relationships. But perhaps most important, they encouraged students to cultivate independent thinking. Seventh grade teachers Mrs. Everleen Lane , Miss Jannie Eaddy , Mrs. Miriam Boulware, and Mrs. Patricia Lambert help students cultivate independent thinking. 113 �Through group discussions sixth grade teachers, Mr. Henry Sparrow, II, Mrs. Lucille Eaddy , Mrs. Tracy Hagan , and Mr. Jonathan Brown, Jr ., exchange practical ideas for improving instruction. PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED IN ALL CLASSES Participation was the key to success in all classes. Fifth and sixth grade teachers encouraged students by introducing into regular classroom activities opportunities for creative expression. Mrs. Weaver, the remedial reading teacher, first developed a sense of selfconfidence in each student, who then felt free to engage in all learning experiences, and while striving for physical fitness, physical education students gained valuable insight into all phases of a game by actual participation. Thus they "learned by doing." Mr. Benjamin Carter, who also coaches football and track, taught his physical education classes good sportsmanship.

The library supplied reference books, fiction, non-fiction, records, films, and tapes to supplement text materials. The reading department aided students who were reading below their grade level and helped classroom teachers to utilize the latest methods of reading instruction. The special education classes provided students who could not succeed academically with the opportunity to gain the foundation they lacked and hopefully to return to a regular classroom situation. The library, unde r the supervision of Mrs. Jill Chandler, supplements classroom materials. Mrs. Ida Ruth Tune, and Mrs. June Thayer, Reading Speci;list, established the new Help Eliminate Reading Problems program. Mrs. Nancy Owens, Mrs. Mollie Robertson , and Mrs .

For seven hours, five days a week, these teachers were responsible for each child's well-being. Yet they faced and successfully met an even larger challenge - the molding of each individual so that he would become a functioning member of society.

TEACHERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AVAILABLE COURSES . Mrs. Lizzie Thomas and Mrs. Rebecca Lewis enjoy ground duty on a warm day. The elementary school faculty utilized all available resources to prepare themselves to meet the needs of the students. Many teachers enrolled in courses offered by near-by colleges to keep abreast of the changing educational concepts. Others took advantage of the ETV courses, the recently published educational books, and the many audio-visual materials. The result was a closely knit faculty which refused to accept second rate standards. Hall duty occupies Mrs. Anne Venters and Mrs. Merrinell Taylor. 137 �James Alston Janet Alston Brian Altman Briley Altman Dennis Altman Teresa Altman Jackie Atkinson Darleen Avant Tony Baggett Doris Barr Dorothy Barr Ricky Barrineau Elvis Baxley Annette Bazen Joey Bell Mervin Bellflower Joseph Berry Melvin Bobo Allan Brown Betty Brown Freddy Brown Howard Brown Karen Brown Larry Brown Melvin Brown Fernell Burgess Todd Burkhardt Loretta Cain FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS . \ th~ Throughout 1969-1970 school year fo\rth grade student~ · concentrated on improving both oral and reading 'comprehension: English classes emphasized paragraphi1})t.,and encouraged the writing of creative stories with new vocabulary words. Arithmetic classes taught the use of Roman numerals, and for the first time students faceq the problem of long division. Learning to read maps and studying world· geography fdrmed the basis for social studies classes. Fourth graders acquired a general knowledge of how to ,use the library, which proved to be an invaluable aid. It provided all types .of printed materials and visu'itl aids w}1ich supplemented ·textbooks and classroom teaching. With these diversified gains behind them, the fourth graders looked forward to a new challenge thehl: first year at ~he Middle ~chpol. In preparation fo~ the ·Middle· School, fourth grade brings the new experience bf c~.an~ing classes.

They continued their study of phonics as a means of improving reading, and Mrs. Mackey strove to help each child read fluently and with understanding while learning to enjoy different kinds of reading materials. Students faced the challenges of mastering cursive writing and learning multiplication. A study of South Carolina history helped to familiarize members of class with their great heritage. Miss Miller concentrated on broadening each child's understanding of himself and on establishing worthwhile values which would allow each child to make better personal adjustments in family, school and community life. Students practice cursive writing on the blackboard.

Social studies classes made them aware of the many kinds of neighborhoods and the necessity of each individual becoming a responsible member of society. Health taught the rules of safety and the means of healthful living. In teaching reading, Mrs. Burgess Altman emphasized both the comprehension and the interpretation of facts. In the phonics program, students developed skills and abilities for word perception, while in mathematics classes they learned the basic skills of addition and subtraction to the extent that they could work with accuracy. Mrs. Nell Eaddy incorporated the new Distai· materials into her classroom situation in an effort to bring slower students up to their grade level. Thus, the second graders ended their school year with a wealth of new knowledge. Mrs. Nell Eaddy uses the new Distar materials with her class. David Graham John E. Graham John E.

These students for various reasons found it difficult to succeed in the regular classrooms, whereas in the special classes they experienced some degree of success. Since the classes were smaller than regular classes, Mrs. Mollie Robertson and Mrs. Nancy Owens with the help of Mrs. Nellie Poston were able to give each child much individual attention and to supply the basic educational foundation which these students needed in order to return to a regular classroom situation. Mrs. Poston holds the students' undivided attention as she tells an interesting story.

Although facing an entirely new situation, they quickly settled down to a year of gaining the necessary foundation for later grades. Exercises in visual discrimination were a forerunner to learning the alphabet and eventually to reading, while the writing of experience stories improved penmanship and also provided an opportunity for creativity. Two new additions to the first grade instructional program in 1970 were the Economy Phonics Program and HELP, which stands for Help Eliminate Learning Problems. Both programs concentrated on the improvement of reading abilities. Dusting erasers on the old tree is a favorite task and has become almost a tradition.

"K", 6th Regiment, Confederate States Army, commanded by Capt. William Smith Brand, of Sumter District. Source: Morris Watsongen George Samuel Briley Huggins was born June 18, 1831, eldest son of Rev. John Samuel Huggins of Timmonsville, inventor of the first cotton planter used in the south and his wife Zilphia Ham. He was the grandson of George Huggins, one of the largest landowners in the Darlington District who was elected to the 32nd General Assembly and his wife Letitia Montgomery. He was the great grandson of Captain John Huggins, Justice of the Peace for the Darlington District in South Carolina, who commanded a troop of Cavalry in General Francis Marion's Brigade in the Revolutionary War and his wife Elizabeth White Simmons. He died Nov. 28, 1914. His will was probated Jan. 2, 1915 at the Williamsburg County Courthouse, Will Book E, Page 29. He married his first wife, Elizabeth Timmons on March 3, 1853. Elizabeth was born March 21, 1839 and died at Johnsonville on November 11, 1833. Elizabeth was the mother of all his children.

He was also one of the original founders of the Old Johnsonville Methodist Church where he served as a minister. He also supported the Ebenezer Methodist Church at Muddy Creek where he served as a steward and was a minister. After the war, he returned to his farm near Muddy Creek, SC and to the ministry of the Methodist Church at Muddy Creek and Old Johnsonville. One of his granddaughters, Lillian Maude Buck McDaniel, recalled that as a child her mental image of God somehow incorporated the characteristic features of her grandfather - the strong but kind face, the leonine head of white hair and beard, and the authoritative tone and demeanor. She describes him at prayer, at home and in church , where he knelt, stiff knee and all, to address his Lord in a manner she was convinced that elicited a readier response than most mortals were privileged to receive. She also remembered that he was so earnest in prayer that he would forget the passage of time and would sometimes have to be nudged by his wife to realize that others wearied more easily than he. At Christmas time, George Samuel Briley Huggins would personally pour the Christmas sillibub - Portion Control! He was known for his good wines,also dispensed judiciously. He enlisted in Co. K, 6th South Carolina Regt.at its organization under Capt. W. S. Brand of Clarendon, on the 22nd of April, 1962. He served with the Company, except for a few months recuperation furlough, until the surrender at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865. He was wounded by a minnie ball blasting through his right knee at the Second Battle of Manassas on August 30, 1862. His name appears on a list of prisoners taken and paroled at Warrenton, VA, headquarters for the Army of Potomac, 11th corps, on 29 September 1862. After his recovery at home, he was placed on detached service to the Commissary Department in Williamsburg county and reported to J. B. Chandler. He was lame for the rest of his life. On June 18, 1908 more than 75 family members gathered at his home for a birthday celebration that included food, fellowship and musical entertainment by the children.

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.

His brother dying in Confederate service in 1862, he reared a family of nieces and nephews with his own children . Another founder , H. E . (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. Hug~ins was one of the founders of the Old Johnsonville Methodist Church. Huggins was a11 ordained Methodist minister and veteran of the Civil War . oos nee hot supper was served, turkey and barbecue with all the 'trimmings' at fifty cents a plate. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Henry Edison Eaddy Description An account of the resource Obituary for Henry Edison Eaddy It is the painful duty of the County Record to chronicle the death of Mr. Henry E. Eaddy, well known as the "Sage of Possum Fork". He died at his home near Johnsonville Friday morning about 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Eaddy was a man of rare personality. He was a self made man in every sense of the term. Intellectually he was a genius, being an expert mathemetician. He was a civil engineer by profession, a hospitable Christian gentleman in his home, and a man of charming manner to all who came in contact with him. He was of unusual vitality, both physically and mentally for one of his advanced age, having celebrated his eightieth birthday in March. The evening prior to his death he ate supper and was in his usual happy frame of mind and apparently in good health as he had been for some time and fell asleep. At 2:30 Friday morning he was found dead. Mr. Eaddy was born and reared and spent his long life in the vicinity of Johnsonville. In his young life he married Miss Eliza Louisa Ann Elizabeth Huggins of Timmonsville, a daughter of the late Rev. J.S. Huggins, inventor of the first cotton planter used in the south. He had represented the county of Williamsburg in the State Legislature several terms. He was first elected in 1890. He was one of the original founders of the Old Johnsonville Methodist Church and Trinity Methodist Church in Florence County and supervised the construction of the Old Johnsonville Church. During all of his public life he strove to render his county efficient service. Mr. Eaddy leaves a widow, the former Eliza Huggins, five sons and two daughters: Messrs. J.A. of Bushnell, Fla.; C.L.of Linden, Fla.; John M. of Kingstree; S.O. of Johnsonville; Dr.A.G. of Timmonsville; Mrs W. A. Hanna of Gifford; and Mrs. R.B. Dickson of Johnsonville. The funeral service, conducted by Rev. E.P. Hutton, took place in Old JohnsonvilleMethodist Church at 4 p.m. Saturday, and internment was made in the church burying grounds. Six of his grandchildren acted as pallbearers. The funeral exercises were largely attended. https://www.johnsonvilleschistory.org/files/original/ccdd9338686077a6f1906f580e383f85.jpg 5649e4746ba96bdc38c3cb116121c980 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is believed that Ms. Grier was born at the Ark Plantation in Surfside Beach. This document was donated to the town by Stan Barnett, from Mount Pleasant, a descendant of Judith Grier. Chapter 1 Way back in 1857 about four months before your grandmother was born, her great-great grandmother and her grandmother Dukes came to live with her father, Squire Grier. Old grandmother, as they always called her, great-great grandmother, was a young married woman at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. It is not known where she lived before her marriage, but your grandmother said it seemed to her that old grandmother came from the north. She was a Cartier. However, she lived on a big plantation on the Waccamaw River at the time of the war. She had the honor of shaking hands with President Washington during his trip through this country. Some say he even dined at her home on the river, but that may not be true. In fact, if the great Washington dined everywhere rumor says he did, he must have been truly great, and in more ways than one. After her second marriage, she moved to Petersfield and lived there until she came to live with her grandson. Her daughter, Mary Tillman, who had long been dead when old grandmother came to Squire Grier’s, was married to a Mr. Covan, a Frenchman. There is a story we have always loved to hear your grandmother tell of this marriage. At Halloween, a year before her marriage, several young girls were spending the night together and decided to try their fortunes with a mirror. Mary took her turn and after performing the preliminary rites stood looking in the mirror. At first there was nothing but her own face, then gradually, it faded and the outlines of a table appeared with an open trunk upon it. Then, from out of nowhere came the glare of a dark haired, dark eyed young man who leaned on the trunk and gazed straight into her eyes. As was befitting and proper in those days, she promptly fainted. Page | 1 �A month or two later she and her mother went north, shopping and visiting. They entered a store and immediately Mary saw displayed on the table an open trunk, which she recognized as the very trunk she had seen in the mirror. As she looked and wondered a young man with dark hair and eyes entered, leaned on the trunk and looked into her eyes. That night at a ball they met and their wedding followed shortly. Elizabeth Covan, your grandmother’s grandmother, was her only child. Elizabeth was brought up mainly by her grandmother, old grandmother, for her father died when she was very small and her mother married again. So old grandmother’s home at Petersfield was also the home of Elizabeth, old grandmother always called her Betsy. In her old days, when she became blind and helpless, old grandmother made her home with Betsy who was a grandmother herself by that time. Elizabeth, also, was married three times. Men must have been very plentiful in those days, or else, my girls, you must be descended from a line of irresistible vamps. Her first husband, James Marion Grier, is the one of most interest to us. The night Elizabeth Covan was born was wet and stormy. Mr. Grier, who was married to his second wife at this time, had been up the river on business. He was returning home and took refuge from the night and weather at the Covan plantation. His wife and Mrs. Covan were very good friends and often visited each other. This night, however, Mr. Covan told him there was no room for him in the house. But, as he could go no farther owing to the storm, Mr. Covan had the washroom warmed up and a bed put in there for him. The next morning he came to the house before leaving and asked to see the little girl. He took her in his arms, asked how much she weighed, kissed her and went on his way. Fifteen years later, he married her. He was a merchant in Georgetown and also had a large rice plantation on the Waccamaw. He had a good overseer in charge of his plantation for he lived in Georgetown. He also had a summer house on North Island. On Election Day in September 1822, the time of the big storm as it was called, your great-great grandfather Grier went in a sailboat from North Island to Georgetown. He was a man of afffi8ars and of importance in Georgetown and was detained in town after the election although he had intended reaching the island before dark. Before he Page | 2 �could leave the storm began to brew and he knew it would be death to be caught by the wind and waves in that open boat. The darker it grew, the wilder the storm became. The people in the smaller cottages on the island and the one living close to the shore took refuge in the lighthouse or in the home of your ancestor. It was larger and more substantially built than some of the others as well as being in a more protected position. All night long the storm raged. The waves dashed over the house. Amid the roar of the wind and the clash of the thunder could be heard the snapping and cracking of timbers as each furious wave took its toll. The waves were dashed against the large house and entered the smallest crack and crevice until everyone and everything in it were drenched. The house creaked and groaned but it held together although its inmates thought each minute might be the last. Every house, except the lighthouse, Mr. Grier’s house, and on other that was sheltered by a hummock, was washed out to sea. All three of Elizabeth’s husbands were wealthy and each left his property to her so she had plenty to live on. She had several stepchildren who were very dear to her, but she had only one son herself, your great grandfather Grier. At the death of her last husband, she was persuaded that the best thing she could do was to break up housekeeping and move to the home of her only son, Squire Grier. Her step children tried to persuade her to remain in the home of her last husband at Petersfield, promising to look after her and the plantation, but she and old grandmother moved. She left her house, full of fine old furniture, just as she had always lived in it. Her son did not need it. He promised to send for it and store it on his place, but failed to do so. Lather the old home was burned, and with it all her furniture, furniture that today would be worth a fortune. Old grandmother at the time of the move had been blind for forty years and deaf for nearly the same length of time. She was now a tiny little woman who lay on her bed all day. Although she could see nothing and hear only when shouted at, she was quickwitted and as sensible as she ever had been and remained so until her death. At the Squire’s she was carried in to the big room downstairs and put on a bed near the big fireplace where she could be kept war, for it was the middle of the winter. Page | 3 �As spring advanced and the arrival of your grandmother was expected daily it was decided to carry old grandmother upstairs to share the room with her granddaughter, Betsy. They told old grandmother they were moving her and thought she understood, but evidently she failed to catch the meaning of their message. A neighbor was called in and he lifted old grandmother as if she were a baby. She, sensing that a stranger had her, began to struggle and cry out. Her granddaughter was patting her and shouting at her trying to explain, but to no avail. All the house slaves and all the children were drawn to the passage by the outcries. She kicked and screamed all the way upstairs which delighted the little darkies as much as it frightened the children of the family. When placed on her bed with Betsy close by, she finally calmed down. It was there she lay for the last four years of her life. Another member of the family was Blind Uncle, as your grandmother always called him. He was her father’s uncle who had made the Squire’s his headquarters when he was a gay young bachelor with plenty of means and health for a life of pleasure. A regular Beau Brummel in his youth and middle age, he spent much time in Charleston or up north a pleasuring around and having a good time. As he gradually become blinder and blinder he made his home entirely with his nephew. He sat most of the time in the sun with his dogs close by. He had his own Negroes with him so he was no care for anyone. There were besides these three, at the time of your grandmother’s birth, five girls and two boys with their father and mother in the home. Chapter 2 Your grandmother, Judith Crosby Grier, was born on the 21st of May 1857. Blind Uncle named her Judith. His favorite sister, who died when she was a young girl, was named Judith. He had begged as each of the older girls were born to be allowed to name her. So they let him name the baby. He said she should have the finest family of Negroes he had and one thousand dollars when he died. He made his will to that effect. Page | 4 �No one had time the next morning to tell old grandmother of the new arrival but in the morning she called: “Betsy, Margaret has a little girl.” Betsy shouted, “Yes.” “Bring her here,” commanded old grandmother. So the tiny baby was carried upstairs and placed in the arms of her great-great grandmother. The old lady cuddled the baby close to her, felt her little face and hands, then pulled up her long clothes to feel her little legs. Satisfied finally that the baby was all she should be, she cuddled her up again and tried to croon to her. It was with reluctance that she at last parted with the baby. Every morning after that she insisted that little Judy be brought up to her. That visit of the wee, wee baby to the old, old lady became a regular part of the morning routine. The old lady called her Judy and Judy she has remained until this day—much to her disgust. As she grew older she learned to go up the stairs and to the bed where the old grandmother lay. When little Judy was four years of age the old lady died. The little girls, tiny as she was, slipped several times into the room where she lay, turned down the sheet, touched her, and tried to make her answer her call. There was no fear in the presence of death. Blind Uncle tried to figure out her age and decided she must have been at least 120 or 125 years old Your grandmother’s father, Thomas Rothmaler Grier, was a very large man. For many years before his death he weighed over 300 pounds. You have seen the old vest your grandmother has that he wore. It is as large as two ordinary sized vests. The big chair which he had made especially for him is out in the shop now. Your father used it for years. The rockers are worn almost through and it has been re-bottomed many times but it is still strong. The Squire was a stern, quick-tempered old man. Everyone yielded him the cup when it came to swearing. It is still a by-word in this country concerning anyone who is very fluent when it comes to the use of “cuss” words that “he can cuss most as good as the Squire.” The children all feared him greatly, all but little Judy who was his pet and plaything. Page | 5 �When he was first married he lived on a small plantation near the present site of Hemingway where Mr. White Johnson now lives. But the larger two story house in which he lived has long since been torn down. Soon after he married he attended the auction of Col. Alston’s furniture from his plantation on the Pee Dee River. He bought for a small sum the six legged sideboard, or low boy, that your grandmother now has, and for which she has been offered large sums. The old sideboard has been made in England of solid walnut. Much of the hand carved trimmings has come off, but it is a fine old piece of furniture yet. Later the Squire moved to the old home at Petersfield. He livered here only a few years for the plantation at Johnsonville was given to his wife by her father. A fortune in slaves was also given her. They remained at Johnsonville as long as they lived. The Johnson plantation was part of the original grant to John James. William Johnson Sr. had bought a part of this grant from the heirs of John James. He also purchased a portion of the land granted to the Witherspoons. It was part of the Witherspoon grant that was given to your grandmother’s mother. Your grandmother has all the old grants, deeds and plats. The old house had two stories with the first floor very high off the ground. There were two large main rooms downstairs with two shed rooms built off from them at the back. Upstairs were a small room and a large one. The small room as called “Pa’s room,” while the large room was “Grandmother’s room.” The dining room and the kitchen were connected with the main part of the house by an open cross passage way. Here the family generally ate during the summer and it was the favorite gathering place for the whole family. Besides running the large plantation, the Squire had the largest inland store between Georgetown and Marion. His state was about seven miles from the nearest landing; most of the larger stores were closer to the river for greater convenience in getting their goods. The Squire’s biggest business, however, was money lending, always with good security, either in land or slaves. The Squire had the reputation of being a hard man, and he never did let anyone get anything that belonged to him. He was considered the wealthiest man in the country. Although he exacted his dues from Page | 6 �all the able-bodied, he never turned a deaf ear to the widowed or helpless. He name made any ado about his kindness, but those in want knew where to turn. Every morning, assisted by his body slave, a “boy” who had belonged to him since he was small, he mounted his horse and rode over the whole plantation. Even though he was very stout and it was a difficult job to get him on his horse, he rode as erectly as he ever did. No detail on the farm was too small to escape eye, and everything must be in its proper place. The darky who had performed his task well and faithfully was sure to be rewarded with a kind word, while the darky who had slighted his was just as sure to be rewarded with a “cuss” word or two. After his survey of the plantation, he went to the store where he spent the remainder of the day. Her mother was so busy that soon after old grandmother died little Judy went upstairs to sleep with her grandmother and became her special charge, day and night. That is why your grandmother knows so many tales of long ago. She used to ask numberless questions and her grandmother was never too busy to answer her or to tell her stories. At night after they were in bed the two talked a great deal. There were three cooks in the kitchen, or rather kitchens, for in the summer they moved the kitchen into cooler quarters in the yard. The little house in the yard was called the summer kitchen. “Maum” Mary was the head cook. Venus and Silvia were her assistants. Each of these had her own helper. There were also several pick-a-ninnies always at the beck and call of the cooks and their assistants. These were in training to become cooks themselves someday. There were three boys who served the meals and waited on the long table during the meals. These boys also had their tasks to do about the house and were known as house boys. The older children had a nurse who had a general oversight of them, kept their clothes all mended and straight, and trained their Negro girls. The five older girls, Agnes, who was 15 when your grandmother was born; Sarah; Hortense; Julia, and Mary all had a girl of their own. These girls, about the ages of their mistresses, were given to them when they were small. Jim and Mitchell, the two boys, also had their own “niggers” from whom there were almost inseparable. Mitchell and your grandmother Page | 7 �had a nurse, Silvia, all to themselves. There were three Silvias and two Venuses among the house servants. In addition to the cooks, table boys, nurses, and individual servants, three or four girls were on hand at all times to do anything that Ole Miss, Missis, or Master required done. This huge household was fed from the Squire’s kitchen. The Missis, as they called the Squire’s wife, was the mainspring that rant the whole house and kept it regulated. Besides the house, she had charge of the supplies for the plantation Negroes, which was a man-sized job in itself. She also had charge of the spinning and weaving, not only for the household, but for the whole plantation, as well. The big loom house stood in the yard and held the spinning wheels and looms. In summer the spinning wheels were always carried out under the trees near the house. Three spinning wheels were kept running from dawn until dark, summer and winter; and three big looms were kept clacking to furnish cloth for the plantation. Dye, before the war, was brought from the north or abroad and the hanks of yarn from the spinning wheel were dyed before being carried to loom. The carders, too, worked in the yard when the weather was pleasant, preparing the cotton for the spinning wheel. So constant were the whir of the spinning wheel and the clickety-clack of the loom that at night little Judy sometimes awoke and was alarmed at the unnatural stillness. At other times half asleep she seemed to hear the busy buzz, whir, and clack still going on, so accustomed was she to it, and in a drowsy voice she would ask her grandmother why the workers were still at the looms. Every garment was cut by the Missis herself. Cloth was much too precious to allow anyone else to cut it. The garments were made by the fingers of women who were not strong enough for active work. On fine days the seamstresses sat out in the large back yard under the big shade trees. Each had her stool and work basket. On days when the weather did not permit this, the most reliable workers were allowed to carry their work to their own cabins. The others sewed in one corner of the large loom house under the supervision of a trusty old woman. All the Sunday dresses worn by the family were made of “factory cloth,” so called to distinguish it from the cloth woven at home. The best dresses were always spoken of Page | 8 �as Sunday dresses as they were worn chiefly on Sundays. On his trips to Georgetown or Charleston, the Squire frequently brought to the girls a pretty piece of goods for an extra dress. All other garments worn, even the Squire’s suits, were spun, dyed, woven, cut, and made on the plantation. Her mother did a great deal of the family sewing herself at night after the activities of the day were over. Many a night after supper your grandmother says she has seen her sit down with a garment and so expert and quick was she that the garment was completed before bedtime. When she was a very little girl, not long before the war, her father bought a family of slaves at an auction of the Collins estate on the Pee Dee, a woman with several children. On arrival, they were brought to the house for inspection. There was a little girl, Amy, just the age of your grandmother. When Amy’s mother saw little Judy she brought Amy forward and said, “Dis leetle missie maid.” And little missie made she remained, at her side constantly all day and sleeping on a pallet at her bedside at night. Henry, one of Amy’s brothers, was taken into the house as a house boy, and was one of the best, most faithful servants they had. Your grandmother and her brother, Mitchell, were constant companions. They shared the same nurse and as they grew older little Judy began to follow Mitchell wherever he went, so she became a sad tomboy at an early age. Chapter 3 The plantation was an eight horse farm before the war. The original tract given to your grandmothers had been added to by the Squire until a large area adjoining it had been taken in. Much of it was swamp and woodland. The house lot itself consisted of three acres. The Negro quarters took up as much more while there were outhouses innumerable for every conceivable purpose. There were no money crops planted but plenty of food for all: corn; peas, potatoes, and great fields of cane. Cotton was planted only for home use. Page | 9 �Great herds of cattle and droves of hogs, goats, and sheep, as well as large flocks of turkeys, geese, ducks, and chickens roved over the un-cleared land. So the plantation was practically self-supporting. Sugar, flour, and coffee were the only things bought and those were just for use at the big house and the sick among the hands. Sugar for the slaves was obtained by thickening of the cane syrup, for if cooked thick much of the syrup will turn to sugar. The overseer had a cottage about a quarter of a mile from the big house. He had his own garden, hogs, chickens, and barn. The overseer took his orders every morning direct from the Squire. He, in turn, transmitted them to the Negro foreman. He had the general supervision and care of the whole plantation, and the hands while at work, although there was little he was allowed to do on his own initiative, for the Squire directed everything. This was not so on all plantations. Some overseers had almost complete control and authority. The overseer on the Southern plantation was generally a man of the lower classes who owned no land and no slaves. The Negro foreman was a strapping, big Negro buck, John. He was conceded to be the strongest man in the country around. The Squire bought him for five hundred dollars from the Britian’s [sic] estate. His master had died, his mistress has remarried and John did not get on well with his new master. Finally after some grievance, fancied or otherwise, John ran away. The Negroes knew where he was hiding, down among the reeds and brakes of the swamp, and kept in touch with him. Word came to the hands on the Squire’s place for one of them to go to the Square and ask him to go to the Britian plantation and buy John for John had sent word that he’d come home and be a good hand if Marse Grier would just buy him. After receiving the message, the Squire rode over to see John’s owner and straightened things out. When he returned, he sent John word to come on and go to work. Johnson was one of the best hands on the place, strong, willing, and cheerful. He used to swing your grandmother up into a feed basket, lift the basket to his shoulders and carry her at a trot. One of the hands, a grown man, somewhat jealous of the favor always shown John, said one day, “You couldn’t carry me that way.” Page | 10 �John put little Judy down, lifted the man into the basket and carried him apparently without effort into the feed room. He saved your grandmother’s life one. One cold day the Negroes were carrying a torch to the field to start a fire. Attracted by the flaming torch, she followed behind the hands. The wind blew the sparks back and one of them fell on her shoulders. She felt something begin to smart and sting. As she reached up to see what it was, Big John rushed at her and tore her clothes off just as they were beginning to blaze. He bore her triumph-fully to the house. She was unhurt, but it was some time before Big John could use his hands again. They were carefully and gratefully tended by the Mistress herself until every scar was healed. All the shoes worn by the family and the hands were made at home. The hides from cattle raised on the place were tanned and cured by the slaves. None of the Squire’s slaves knew the shoemaker’s trade, so he hired two slaves from a nearby plantation. These were kept at work every day in the little shoe shop. There was a big syrup mill that in the fall was kept busy grinding cane and cooking the juice. The Negroes like to be detailed for this duty. One trusty old darkie had charge of it, but his helpers were often changed. The Squire had corn ground at a mill on the river for his table use, but the Negroes ground out their corn on the hold hand mill. Usually there was a large fire built on the street of the quarters which furnished light as well as heat. Around this the darkies would gather at night after supper with their corn. As they turned the mill they sang. They sang all the familiar old Negro songs; one they were especially fond of was “Wait for the Wagon.” It started off, “Soon Monday morning I’ll wait for my love. We’ll jump in the wagon and all take a ride.” The Squire made a weekly inspection of the Negro quarters, which were placed about a quarter of a mile from the big house. Under his inspection the yards and all outside premises were kept absolutely sanitary. The cabins inside were inspected every week by the Mistress herself. Inside and outside of each cabin was as clean and sanitary as need be and the slaves themselves were a happy, hearty lot. Each cabin had two rooms with a large clay chimney at one Page | 11 �end. Some of the cabins had lean-to’s or shed rooms built on, if the family was very large. Every building in the Negro quarters received a coat of whitewash each year. The cabins were whitewashed inside and out. There were 18 or 20 families in these quarters. Each family had its own garden, potato patch, and chickens. Some even had a hog or two. This was not allowed on every plantation, but at the Squire’s the darkies took a great pride in the possession of their own things. The most industrious had a little patch of hearty annuals blooming in front of the cabin and a vine growing over the door. The growing of these was encouraged by the Mistress for it helped to keep the Negroes contented. Several of these families belonged to Blind Uncle and it was one of these he had named in his will to be given to your grandmother. The Mistress, your great-grandmother, took entire charge of all the sick and ailing. The Negroes were much too valuable to neglect them in any way. If one became very ill or did not respond to her simple remedies, a doctor was called in immediately. An old Negro nurse was installed and the Mistress went to and fro constantly giving every does of medicine herself. Many a night did she sit in one of the little cabins, watching over the sick and suffering and the Negroes adored her. They loved her as much as they feared the Squire. When a new baby was expected the expectant mother was guarded and watched over carefully. The Mistress cut every garment herself for the layette and had them made by the most careful seamstress on the place, Maum Hagar. All arrangements for the confinement were directed by her. Afterwards, both mother and baby received the utmost care and attention. The mother was fed from the Squire’s table for several weeks and often longer if she or the baby proved to be delicate. Negro babies were highly prized. They were more valuable than blooded stock is now. Sometimes there were as many as 12 babies in a year, but each received the same particular attention. All the babies and children too young to be in the fields were left in the big back yard under the shade trees. Two Negro women, too old for regular field work, under the sight of Maum Hagar, had charge of them. The women sat on their stools and Page | 12 �sewed as they watched over their charges. Maum Hagar did the particular sewing while the other women did the coarser work and patched and darned. The little boys played with their sticks, rode them as horses, used them as swords, and found countless other ways of diverting themselves. The little girls made dolls from sticks. They put a rag over a stick, tying it close to one end to make a head, and then with charcoal they drew a face. They made playhouses under the trees, using all the bits of broken glassware and dishes they could find. The house, as outlined on the ground, invariably followed the plan of the house in which they themselves lived. Your grandmother loved to run off, followed by Amy, or led by Amy, to play with them. She thought it was much more fun to play with their stick dolls than with her own China dolls in the house. Maum Hagar always stopped her work when the little white girl came out to play and stayed near where the girls were and quickly repressed any attempt at familiarity. The little colored girls were taught to show due respect to “leetle missie”, while the “leetle missie” herself was taught indirectly not to take advantage of those dependent upon her. Maum Hagar, at all times, kept a keen eye on the behavior of the little darkies, chastising them freely when she should they needed it. When field work was going on she had full control of them. She was responsible for their manners and any misbehavior, rudeness, or act of impoliteness on their part drew down reproof on her head. When the weather was bad the little folks were taken into one corner of the big kitchen. They didn’t enjoy that so much as they were compelled to be quiet and were not allowed to roam around. Christmas morning as soon as breakfast was over the darkies from the quarters crowded up to the back door of the big house. The house servants had already greeted each member of the family with “Crismus gif, Marsa! Crismus gif, Missie!” And each servant had been remembered with a small gift from each member of the family. The personal servants received some nice gift from their own master or mistress. Now, as the Negroes came in from the quarters, the family appeared at the door amid vociferous cries of “Crismus all!” There was a present for everyone, a dress for the older women, a hat or coat for the older men, pipes, tobacco or something fancy for Page | 13 �every one of the others. Blind Uncle always had several pounds of candy, which he distributed among the little colored children. Several hogs were barbecued at the quarters for the Christmas dinner to which were added all the other delicacies which the women had prepared. Each night during Christmas week there was a big dance. Everything would be removed from one cabin. A big bonfire was placed in the yard at a safe distance from the cabin door. A fire was started in the fireplace in the cabin. At dusk the crown began to gather and soon the dance was in full swing. Between dances the crown around the fire would add their voices to the music of the fiddle and the banjo in melodies that could be clearly heard at the big house. While the dancers were resting often the active Negro bucks, who never seemed to tire, would indulge in the buck and wing dance, the Charleston, or a regular jig. These exhibitions were given mainly to show off before some girl whose attention the dancer wished to attract. Often the frolic lasted until dawn, but what did they care? They could sleep all day if they wished. The next night another cabin would be cleared out. “Dance tonight in Cynthy house” was the massage passed around and all able to dance and many who could only look on would be on hand. Negroes from many of the other plantations would come in for these dances. The Squire allowed much freedom during the week’s holiday. On New Year’s Eve the biggest frolic of all was held, the winding up of the whole year. Sometimes special permission was granted during the year for a dance on Saturday night. But this was permitted only very rarely and was considered a great treat. There were a few colored pastors and a few scattered churches for the Negroes. But the slaves preferred, when they went to church, to go to Marsa’s church. Always the back seats or the galleries were reserved for such as wished to come. The Negroes joined the white people’s church and were received in by the white pastor. Your grandmother says she has seen him take many a little Negro baby in his arm and baptize it. This was especially true of the house servants. The field hands attended a little chapel not far from the plantation. When your grandmother was a little girl, on Page | 14 �rainy days she’d sit and watch the water as it poured off the yard and as one big bubble followed another she and Amy would cry, “It’s just like the niggers goi8ng to church. That big fat one is Dicey and that little one is Sissy.” And so they named the bubbles as they followed one another out of sight. The Squire, who was a magistrate, was often called upon to marry couples, white as well as black. Your grandmother remembers one night when six couples came to be married. Henry and Dan, the house boys, stood on each side of the door with great torches to light up the scene. Every man on the place, white and colored, like to fish. The darkies used to spend every minute they could spare at it. Blind Uncle kept at it even after he had given up all other sports. He and his servant, Hardtimes, would go down to the river, Uncle on an old white horse, Sally, with Hardtimes leading her. Hardtimes rowed the boat and Uncle, who [was told by] Hardtimes, knew every good fishing hole, did the fishing. Home they’d come. Hardtimes with one and sometimes two heavy strings of fish, leading old Sally with Uncle on her back. Uncle would sometimes go for a short visit to some of his other kin. Nobody knew when to expect him back, but some day the cry would be raised, “Marse Tom coming! I see his dogs.” And down the road would appear five or six dogs, which everyone knew belonged to Blind Uncle. Then down the road to meet him would stream every child on the place, white and colored. Hardtimes would stop the horse and the children would swarm all over the buggy and finally settle down so they could be driven home. Once hone, they made a dive for Uncle’s pockets for they knew full well they contained something nice for them. He used often to take a group of the children down to a pine grove back of the house. Here he stretched his hammock and rested while they told the children wonderful tales. He guided their hands and taught several of them to make their letters and figures. When he grew tired and lay back in his hammock for a doze, the children hushed their noises, while one kept the flies brushed off with a pine top the others talked in whispers. Page | 15 �Chapter 4 The Squire was a shrewd, far-seeing man. He listened to the rumblings of the thunder of ware; he knew for himself that an awful upheaval was due; and he laid his plans accordingly. Just before the war actually began, he made a trip to Charleston. Your grandmother isn’t sure whether the North Eastern Railroad had its line through Kingstree at that time or not, as she was so small and railroads interested her not at all. If it did, her father very likely drove in a buggy the 30 miles to Kingstree and went by train to Charleston. That was a long and tiresome journey, but not so bad as the one by boat down the Pee Dee to Georgetown and then down the coast to Charleston, which was the way the trip had been made many times. While in Charleston this time, just before the war, he bought one hundred yards of cloth, woolens, ginghams, and homespun, and a large quantity of flour, sugar, and coffee. These supplies, used with care, lasted until the last year of the war. And everything was used with care at the Squire’s for he was a thrifty soul. This merchandise was not put in the store, but kept locked in a room at the house. Your grandmother remembers seeing the rows and rows of cloth and the stack of groceries when she slipped into the room behind some of the older people. Her father was so much overweight that he wasn’t admitted to the army. But there were many members of her mother’s family to do. She has a vivid recollection of her uncle, her mother’s brother, Jim Johnson. He came to the house in full uniform and she had her first sight of a soldier in all his glory. This memory was further impressed upon her by seeing her calm, quite mother clinging to him and weeping bitterly. His servant, March, went with him and stayed at his side during the entire war, returning with him at the end. When they rode off at last they were accompanied far down the road by the boys and Negroes. Even the women followed a short piece, so loath were they to let him leave. Her oldest brother, Tim, was only 14 at the outbreak of the war. He was with difficulty kept at home, but in the last year of the war, when he was 18, the legal age Page | 16 �for enlistment, his father fitted him out for the army. His clothes were packed; his horse, nigger and uniform were all ready when Lee surrendered. The slaves, without exception, proved faithful to their master and home at first. The work on the plantation, at least for the first year, went on just as before. The Negroes knew they were sure of three meals a day, and a roof at night, so the unknown held few attractions for them. It was only when they were stirred up by outsiders that they became discontented. Your great grandfather was a member of the Soldier’s Relief Board and had charge of goods and food sent by the Confederate Government to be given to the needy families of the soldiers. It was given to the families according to the number of dependents in it. Dye was not to be obtained during the way. So after all the supply on hand had been used, it had to be made at home. Your grandmother often followed her mother when she went out to gather material for the dye. With several slaves, she went into the woods and fields where she had them gather the wild indigo for the blue dye and the poke berries for the red. The brown dye was made from walnut hulls before they dried out. And, she thinks, but of this she isn’t sure, that the yellow dye was obtained from the yellow daisies, or the brown-eyed Susans. She doesn’t at this time recall the method of preparing any dye except the blue. But she distinctly recollects seeing the indigo weeds, stems, and leaves put into a large barrel and covered with water. After standing for a period, Negro women removed the weeds, plunging their bared arms deep into the water bringing them out all blue with dye. After the dye was strained, the yarn was dipped in and allowed to soak. When it was removed from the water, it was carried to the branch and thoroughly rinsed in the running water until all the surplus dye was removed. During these troublesome times, Negroes were kept very close on their own plantation. Strand people were not welcome anywhere. Many Negro men had wives and children on other plantations. Visits from one plantation to another was allowed very seldom now and when the slaves did leave their plantation, they had to have a permit from their master and one from the master of the plantation to which they were going. Page | 17 �These permits may have been used before the war, but of this your grandmother isn’t sure. She knows, however, that their use was strictly enforced during the war. The roads were patrolled night and day to keep the slaves from slipping around and to keep strangers from slipping into the quarters. Carpetbaggers, as they were called, were a common menace. They would slip into the quarters, easily spot the restless hands and begin their insidious work. The slaves were told that they were as good as their masters; that they should be getting fabulous wages; that at the close of the war each should be given land and a mule. They were urged to leave home and go elsewhere to better their conditions. To give even the “devil” his due, it must be said that many of the carpetbaggers really believed they were doing the slaves a favor. They had read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and had swallowed it, bait, line, and hook, and they never gave a thought to the fact that the darkies were totally unable to look out for themselves. Such talk, of course, made the slaves unwilling to work. When they were put to work they performed their tasks in a haphazard, listless way that showed their hearts were not in it. Following the Emancipation Proclamation, some of the men, all of them field hands, urged on by outside influence, left their home plantation. These took their families with them. A few of these soon came whining back, having found that board and lodging were not as easily secured as they had thought. Every one of the house servants remained at their work and continued to think of themselves as “Marsa’s niggers.” By this time the country was overrun with stray soldiers who had deserted or were making their way from one military unit to anther; with Negroes who had left their masters and had now no certain way of being provided with the necessities of life; and with unscrupulous poor white trash who had followed in the wake of both armies. It was not safe for women or children to go out unaccompanied by a grown man. The homes along the roads followed by the bands of soldiers were despoiled of everything valuable, as well as of everything edible. Many a cow, hog, or sheep was butchered by the roving soldiers who removed a portion for their immediate use and left the remainder by the roadside to ruin. Chickens were considered their lawful prey. Page | 18 �The ones that could not eaten at once were tied up and carried away for future use. The homes were entered; the pantries cleared of everything appetizing; the silver and the other valuables all were taken by the looters and they left the house in flames. The whole country was being destroyed. The home off the main road were not so molested by the marauding hands of the militia, but the unemployed negroes and white stole all they could find. It was not safe to leave anything outside, chickens, hogs, clothes, tools, anything and everything was taken by the thieves. Great excitement reigned one afternoon at the Grier homestead. Little darkies came streaking through the yard, rolling their eyes and shouting loudly, “Yanks coming.” The hold home was at the end of an avenue, a mile long, off the main road. Up the avenue now trotted a group of blue uniformed men. Henry, the house boy, gave one hasty glance and quickly collected the silver with which the table was always set and the most valuable of the extra pieces and went through the back to the swamp. Here he securely hid his treasures. Your grandmother has some of the solid silver spoons and forks that had belonged to the hold home. They are thin and worn now. At the Squire’s command the horses were quickly led from the stables into the swamp; while the cattle and hogs were driven into the back pasture where the Yanks would have a great deal of trouble hunting them out from among the reeds and underbrush. All the other colored men seized pitchforks, axes, rakes, anything they could use as a weapon and gathered at one end of the porch. It mean little to them that the bluecoated men claimed to be their friends. It meant much to them that Marsa’s life and property were in danger and they intended to defend both. By the time the group of soldiers reached the front gage the Squire with his house boys, all armed, were at the top of the steps awaiting them. The other men with lowered brows and threatening murmurs stood ready for his orders. The leader of the soldiers pulled his cap and with a slight smile at the sign of the forces prepared for him, asked the Squire if he could give them something to eat. Not Page | 19 �to be outdone in politeness by a Northerner, the Squire insisted that they come in. Several of the men were called to feed and water the horses; and while the Northern soldiers made themselves comfortable on the piazza, the Squire went in to make arrangements with his wife to feed them. Venus brandished her rolling pin threateningly, declaring she’d rather use it on them than for them. However, under the directions of the Mistress, an appetizing meal was soon prepared to which the strangers did full justice. When they finished their meal, the captain asked the Squire for his bill, but of course, the Squire refused to be paid. As they were leaving the captain asked if he had seen any of the new money which had just been issued. At the Squire’s reply that he had not, the Federal officer pulled out a five dollar greenback, the first to be seen in these parts, and instated that he take it as a souvenir. In the last year of the way, when your grandmother was seven years old, her baby sister, Pectina, was born, your father’s aunt who lives in Lake City. Chapter 5 Your grandmother to this day has not outgrown her horror of the Radicals as she calls them. The years of reconstruction were so bitterly stamped on her memory. Although she was still small and few incidences stand out in her mind, she received a lasting impression of the horrible and unjust things that were happening to the Southland. When Lee surrendered, the Squire call all his slaves together. His talk was brief and to the point. He told them they were no longer slaves, but free men to go where they wished. As many as desired to remain with him, he said, he’d give them a few acres to share crop for him. Some stayed, many went. Pastures afar are always the greenest, you know. A few of the house servants, allured by the unknown, went off to seek their fortunes in new fields. Venus, with her family, remained for several years. When she received a message from her old mother who had lived on a plantation down the river that she was sick, helpless, and alone, then she took all of her family, except Henry, and went to take care of her. Henry refused to go and remained house boy. Amy and your Page | 20 �grandmother both cried heartily at the parting and were quite inconsolable for some time. Amy considered herself as “Miss Judy’s nigger” until the day of her death. She lived at Petersfield and every year after she was grown until her death three years ago, she made a trip to see “my missie.” After her death, Bossie, her son, came with a message, “Tell my missie I gone on before, but I’ll wait at the gate until she comes so I can help her put on her robe.” Henry stayed at the old home until it was broken up years later. He acted now not just as house boy, but often as nurse, as well. He had a general oversight of all the smaller ones. Often even after your grandmother was a great big girl, when she forgot to wash up before dark, Henry came out and washed her feet for her because she was so sleepy. He always called Aunt Pec his baby for he carried her everywhere he went and his heart was wrapped up in her. When the estate was divided, henry was given a house and a few acres of land by the heirs. There he lived the rest of his days. He was called Henry Williams for his father had belonged to a man by that name. I know all you children remember old Uncle Henry who always stopped for a meal when he came by. He felt that he belonged to all Miss Judy’s children as well as to her. And I think all of Miss Judy’s children felt a sense of responsibility and affection for him. Do you remember the time he was here and said he would take off all of Lynnette’s warts? Her hands were unsightly with them and there were even a few on her feet. He wanted to take them off, so to humor him I told him to go ahead. He had her to court them and write the number on a piece of paper, but not to tell anyone what she had written there. When she had done so, he rolled the little paper into a pellet and swallowed it. He said that very soon the warts would disappear from her hands. After he had touched each one and said something in a mumbling voice, that they would all come out on the inside of him since he had swallowed the, but he didn’t care for he was an old many anyway. The warts did eventually disappear, but I doubt if Uncle Henry had anything to do with it. He said that he had taken off so many warts that all his ‘insides’ that was his way of expressing it, were covered with warts. Page | 21 �He always asked that he be buried in the Grier graveyard at the foot of old Marsa and old Mistress. ‘Twas only last year that he died and at his funeral there were as many white mourners as there were black. We all felt that one who loved us had gone. His “baby,” Aunt Pec, came from Lake City to his funeral. During his last illness, she made many trips to see him and brought him little things to alleviate his sufferings and to tempt his appetite. The Squire lost heavily during the war and with no slaves to help work his plantation, he divided it into small farms. These he either rented to or sharecropped with the Negroes or white people. He was compelled to have them plant cotton as they all wanted a money crop and cotton was the only money crop the South at that time knew how to produce. He hired an overseer or manager to keep up with the famers while he devoted most of his time to the mercantile business. The great store where he did business is still standing in Johnsonville, just this side of Uncle Beauregard’s house. The store stood at the end of the long avenue that led to the house. He also did more lending of money than he did before the war. Chapter 6 The older children, Agnes, Sarah, Jim, and Hortense had a good fundamental education. They with three or four other children from families who lived close by received their training from a teacher brought into the community for that purpose. The teacher was boarded around among his patrons. Agnes, until the age of ten, lived with her grandmother Dukes down the river. Sarah was taken home by her grandmother Johnson when only a wee girl and lived there, a mile from her own home until she was married. She attended school with her sisters. Among the pupils was William Haselden, afterwards Lieutenant Haselden. He and Sarah soon become engaged. The Squire bitterly opposed the match and refused to let her be married from his house as she wished to be. So her grandmother Johnson gave her a big wedding. The Squire did not even attend. The lieutenant left for the army Page | 22 �soon after they were married. When he returned he taught school for a while and was the first teacher your grandmother had. During the war Hortense started up a little school in a tenant house on the plantation. There was no teacher’s license to get or examination to stand for this was a pay school where every pupil paid the teacher a dollar a month. The women, living close around, asked her to teach their children. Your grandmother and her little “nigger” Amy were sometimes allowed the privilege of spending the day there. She learned her letters and made a start at reading. She and Amy used to run through the woods every day to call her sister to dinner. The very thought of those days takes her back until she seems to feel the leaves under her bare feet and see the trees along the path they followed. Her read education began at the age of eight, the year after the war. Her first teacher was her brother-in-law, Lieutenant Haselden. He taught in a little house on what we now call the old Simmons place. She had a three mile walk twice a day. The school took in at nine and let out at four. Of course, they had the regular noon hour in which to rest and play. There were around 18 or 20 pupils in school. For the first time in her life, your grandmother had companions of her own age, sec, and color. Amy had been her only real playmate and while she played a great deal with Mitchell, as they grew older, she wasn’t allowed to follow him around as she did when smaller. Mitchell and his “nigger” didn’t want them always tagging on, either. During the long non hours she enjoyed the company of her schoolmates. She was well grown for her age and generally played with older girls than herself. The plans and games at school were much what would be found on school grounds now: jump rope; thimble; contentment; and a ball game called ‘cat.’ Contentment is an old game, but it is never played now. The players all sit down and the leader says to the first child, “What will content you?” The player answered, “To see Bill stand on his head,” or some such foolish little stunt. Of course, the stunt picked out was the hardest thing for that person to do. The girl who couldn’t sing was made to sing a song. The boy who couldn’t talk plain was made to recite. They derived a great deal of fun from this. Page | 23 �Cat was a girl’s game mainly. The boys scorned to play so simple a ball game. It was played with four girls, two on each side. One was the batter, while the other stood behind the bat to pitch the ball to the batter on the other side and catch it as it was thrown or struck back. On a strike the batters ran from one base to the other while the catcher tried to put out the successful batter. There were playhouses scattered around the edges of the school ground where the younger children played. These houses were very much like the ones the little slaves used to make in the back yard, only the house plans laid off on the ground was a little more ambitious. These were usually following the plans of the largest house they knew of. The older more active girls worked off their energies at cat and jump rope. Thimble, contentment, and the like were kept for rainy days when they had to play in the school house. Baseball, played with a homemade string ball, was the favorite at all times with the boys. The desks were rude, homemade affairs with double seating capacity. The Blueback speller, of course, was the main standby in the book line. It was used not only as a speller, but often as a reader and a language book as well. When a pupil finished the Blueback speller, he knew everything in it from start to finish, which can’t be said nowadays of a pupil concerning a book. Many books are only partially mastered. Each child had his reading lesson individually, but they were classed together as much as possible in the other studies. There were all classes from “b-a, ba” to Vergil and geometry. Every Friday afternoon they had speeches, dialogs, and other entertainments. The very timid and the very young were excused, but all others were expected to be on hand with an offering worthy of the occasion. The older ones often had to read pieces of their own composition on various matters of immediate interest. There was no wealth of entertainment books with pieces easy to learn and just as easy to forget. The recitations given by the older pupils were all of value, most of them classics. The exercises always wound up with a spelling match which included every scholar. The easy words were given out first, but as the small fry went to their seats, the words became harder and harder until only the champion spellers were left. School was Page | 24 �always dismissed early on Fridays so the preliminary agony was endured for the sake of the great treat. A pupil was encouraged to go on just as fast as he could. There was no holding back a child who was able to do more than the average student, nor was there any dragging along of a pupil who was unable to assimilate his tasks as quickly as the others. They were made to learn to the top of their ability, but not pushed out into deep waters where they could only flounder about. Your grandmother, being a healthy, hearty girl, learned quickly. While many of those who entered school with her were still spelling their “b-a, ba”, she was proudly spelling “b-a, ba; ker, ker; baker.” This school was typical of all the schools she attended. Lieutenant Haselden taught school that term for ten months, which was very unusual at that time. But school work had been so interrupted during the war that all were hungry for it. This ten months of school was followed by a three months fall term under Mr. Price. In the spring, he held another three months term. Then Mr. Simmons taught her for two terms of six and eight months, respectively. Her last school was a three months term again under Mr. Price. The Price place was close to the school house. He lived on what we now call the Lee Hughes’ place. Thus 33 months of schooling was all she had, less than four of your school years. At the end of her last school term, she had gone as far as the teachers of the little school could carry her, so her school days ended abruptly at the age of 14. Her teacher recommended that she be sent off to school and her father said he would do so. He hated to give up his children, however, hated to have them leave home and while he planned and talked about sending her off, he kept putting off his final plans until it was too late. She has told many interesting stories about her school days, but somehow I can recall only one or two. One day when Lieutenant Haselde4n had left the school grounds at noon, a drunk man came riding into the yard brandishing a razor and calling for the Lieutenant, saying he wanted to cut his throat. All the large boys were playing at a distance. The girls and little boys rushed shrieking to the school house where they attempted to lock Page | 25 �the door, failing this, they began to pile the benches against it. The smaller ones were crying with fright. Some of the larger boys came up on a run and told the old man he was frightening the girls so he quieted down and assured them: “I wouldn’t hurt you girls, bless your pretty hearts. I love you every one. I just want to cut Lieutenant Haselden’s throat. He insulted me.” The old many was well known by most of the boys and they finally persuaded him to leave the grounds. When the Lieutenant came he found only a very much agitated group of girls and boys. Another time old deaf and dumb Ben wandered into the school room. He was a constant visitor of Blind Uncle and your grandmother knew him well. Most of the children were very much afraid of him. He knew this and while there was no harm in him, he liked to scare them. He carried a switch in his hand that time and shook it threateningly at the children as he mumbled. The little ones’ eyes grew big and even the larger ones were just a little timid. They weren’t really afraid for teacher was there and they had all the confidence in the world in him. But your grandmother wasn’t at all afraid and smiled so fearlessly at him that he patted her on the head. The other girls all thought she was so brave and made much of her on the way home, which is doubles the reason she remembers it. There was a great clay hole by the side of the house. One of the favorite past times was jumping across this hole, or trying to do so. The children would stand against the building and then spring forward as far as possible. One day as your grandmother jumped, she slipped and fell, sprained her ankle very badly. She had a bad time getting home. Her sisters and Mitchell helped her as she limped and hopped along till she could go no farther. When she gave out they, with their companies, took turns making a chair with their hands and carrying her as long as their strength permitted. But she was so heavy that they soon gave out at it. Halfway home, they stopped in desperation and despair. They didn’t know how to get her home. Luckily, her brother, Jim, came by just at that time and took her the rest of the way home. Her foot was given all the known remedies; hot water baths with vinegar in them, and plasters of clay and vinegar were Page | 26 �the most successful, but it was three weeks before she could return to school. She kept up her lessons under her sister, Hortense. There was no trouble in discipline, as she remembers it, in any of the schools she attended. The teacher was absolute boss, feared and obeyed by all his pupils. His authority was well backed by the parents at home. In these early years after the way, there were very few large boys in school. With slaves just freed, the boys were all pressed into service in the fields at an early age. In the months of her attendance, your grandmother says she remembers only two whippings being given. Both of these were given for idleness, not misbehavior. A boy received one and a girl the other. So sex did not excuse one from the rod in those days. Your grandmother never could bear to see anyone punished. She says they told her she was like her grandmother Dukes in that, who always hid and wept when a slave was punished. Each time the teacher sent for a whip to administer the promised chastisement, your grandmother, to the amusement of the other children, always asked for received permission to be excused from the room. The pupils in school were constantly spending the night with each other, going home with their hosts after school and returning with them to school next morning. Little friends very often went home with your grandmother and her sisters, but the Squire rarely let them return any of these “spend the nights.” He kept them strictly at home. Just twice was your grandmother allowed to accompany a friend home and these were red letter occasions. Both times she went home with Lizzie Ann Huggins, later Mrs. Pope. Lizzie Ann’s father, Uncle Sam as he was lovingly known, was an Abraham of old, for he was a “friend of God’s.” No doubt the Squire felt that only good could come to her in that household. One of Judy’s tasks during the summer was to carry her father’s dinner to him every day. This she dearly loved to do. Some days she rode the gentle old horse down, but more often she walked the mile through the shady avenue. She went very swiftly with his dinner, but on the way back she loitered along the road and enjoyed every foot of it. During the winter when she was at school, his dinner was carried to him by one of the hands. Page | 27 �In November of the year your grandmother was 12, her sister, Mary, died. Mary was only 19, but she had been an invalid and a great sufferer for over a year. This first bereavement in her life was followed in March by the death of her grandmother Dukes. This grandmother was almost more to her than her mother was, and she felt the loss keenly. Then in June of the same year, old Blind Uncle opened his eyes in another world. So the family as it had been during her childhood was fast breaking up for her oldest sister, Agnes, and her brother, Jim, had both married and left home. Her oldest sister had been married for two or three years at this time. She married Henry Spivey. He was well-to-do, and had a great deal of property. He was a merchant and farmer, and was also interested in a turpentine business on Pee Dee. The Squire consented to her marriage and gave her a great wedding. She was the only one of the children who married with his full consent. Your Uncle Jim, now, did not marry to please him. The Squire refused to see him for some time after his marriage. The women of the family all admired Aunt Celia very much, and she made him a fine wife all his days. She was one of the finest of women. Uncle Jim rented a farm and made good on it. He was making an independent living, but finally, the Squire sent for him. He needed him, so Uncle Jim went back to him. At first he lived at the river and ran the ferry for his father; later he was given a portion of the home farm and went there to live. He was an excellent mechanic and kept up all the machinery on the place. The first years after all the slaves left, help was very scarce and good help was almost impossible to get. There was a large family of girls so they each took their turn of a week in the kitchen. By the time she was 12 years old, your grandmother was taking her turn with the rest. She was as large as her older sisters, energetic, and strong. During her kitchen week, she cooked the three meals a day and cleaned up after them. Often during her free weeks, she’d follow Mitchell into the field and was soon able to hoe her own row by the side of his. She didn’t like her kitchen work very much, but loved the outdoor work, much to the disgust of her more delicate sisters. Page | 28 �Chapter 7 Almost everyone rode horseback as that was the easiest way of getting around. The roads were rough and a ride even in a spring buggy was not much of a pleasure. There were very few buggies in this country, though, which your grandmother was growing up. When trips were not made on horseback, wagons and carts were used. Your grandmother learned to ride a gentle old horse before she was six years old, and as she grew older, would ride anything with four legs. She even rode the pig once and riding the goats was often indulged in. Goods were shipped by boat up the river to the landings all along its banks. Most of the large old plantations were situate4d along the river, close enough to be within easy access to the landing. The landings usually took their name from the plantation on which they were. There were Allison’s, Savage’s, Petersfield, Smith’s Mill, Chicora, and many other, too numerous to mention. Pitch Landing, just below Petersfield, was the refueling station. There the boats stopped to take on lightwood for the engines, therefore, its name, Pitch. The Squire generally used the landing at Savage. The North Eastern Railroad passed through Kingstree and Graham’s Cross Roads as Lake City was then known. Twice a year, the Squire would drive to Kingstree, put up his team at the stables, and board the train for Charleston. Lake City was nearer, being only 23 miles away, while Kingstree was five miles farther. But, as he generally had business to transact at the courthouse, he usually went by Kingstree. In anticipation of these trips, his wife kept a slip of paper on which she jotted down the items she needed as the need arose so by the time he left there was quite a formidable list awaiting him. Stern and strict as he was, he was in many ways an indulgent father. He always called each child to him and asked especially what she wished. One time your grandmother recalls asking for a string of coral beads. He had great difficulty finding them, spent half a day looking for just the beads his little girl wanted, but he got them. Another time when she was older, it was black silk mitts he brought at her request. Page | 29 �She remembers the first commercial fertilizer ever used in the part of the country. Before the war none had ever been bought here. The Squire was a great reader and he read so much of the high yields from the use of commercial fertilizers the decided to try some. It was bought from the firm of Wilcox and Gibbes, and came upon Page | 30 the boat to Savage. When the Squire went to have it hauled, he found everyone holding his nose and vowing he’d never smelled such a smell. The fertilizer was carried by the house and the feminine section promptly asked that it be put out of smelling distance, so it was placed in an unoccupied tenant house some distance away. The fertilizer was used on a quarter of an acre of Irish potatoes. On the whole patch, one plant came up. Hoping to get a bumper crop and not yet being well versed in the nature of fertilizers, he had used too much. Very little fertilizers were bought for several years after this for the swamp land was rich in nature’s own fertilizer, which was to be obtained by raking it up. Every farmer also kept as much stock as he could and thus he had plenty of compost. Her grandmother Johnson lived only one mile away and every week her mother spent one day at the old home. This she never failed to do, except when Grandmother Johnson was spending a week or so with them, which she did very often. She was at the Squire’s when she died. Except for these weekly visits, the women at the Squire’s stayed very close at home. He always wanted to find them all at home when he came in. One day, Little Pectina and a friend, Minnie Grier, went out to play and didn’t get home before the Squire came in. Minnie was spending the day with Pectina and they went to the overseer’s house where they were trying their fortunes with the grounds in the coffee cups. That was before the days of percolators and often there were a great many grounds in the cup. The cup was inverted in the saucer and left for a few minutes. The grounds were supposed to form some object to show what the future might hold. So engrossed were they that it never occurred to them it was time to go home until they heard “Pectina, you-o-o-o, Pectina.” They knew it was the Squire and two more frightened little girls had never been seen. Pectina knew that they were not allowed to �go even to the overseer’s and she dreaded her father’s anger. However, he said nothing to them when they reached home, panting and out of breath. There were many parties and frolics in the neighborhood, but your grandmother and her sisters were never allowed to attend. Weddings were the biggest social events of the countryside. The house of the bride’s parents was thrown open to all. Only the chosen few were asked to partake of the wedding dinner or supper, but all who wished to come were welcomed at the dancing. When Aunt Agnes was married, there was a great ball in the large front room of the old Grier house. Your grandmother was only ten or 11, but she attended dressed in her very best. She was allowed to mix with the crowd, which overflowed the big room and the porch into her mother’s room, which had been fixe dup for the occasion. Your grandmother remembers standing on the stairway, looking down on the gay scene and watching the dancers and the fiddlers as they swayed to the music. Such a wedding supper as had been served! It was a wonder that those who partook of it could move so nimbly on the floor now. There were big picnics every Fourth of July; to this they all went. Sometimes it was held on the church ground; often the gathering was at a landing on the river. They attended church generally at Trinity, four miles up the Marion road. The same building is still used today and has been there as far back as your grandmother can remember. Sometimes they went to old Muddy Creek Church, built on the same spot where the present building stands. Our old Johnsonville church wasn’t built until she was 15. The family attended there regularly after it was erected. The Squire was one of its heartiest backers and contributed largely to the funds, which made the building of it possible. The land on which it stands was given by Mr. Ard, on the condition that as long as it was used for a place of worship, the land belonged to the church, but if the church was moved, the land should revert to the heirs. Just across from the church was Mr. Ard’s private burying ground. As it was so convenient to the church, first one person, and then another, asked permission to bury their dead there, until it was regarded as a church property also. Page | 31 �The Squire was not a religious man and made no pretense of being a Christian, but he was an habitual church goer and rarely passed a Sunday without going to church. He always insisted that every one of the family, who was well enough, should go, too. Page | 32 Most of the congregation came in wagons. In the winter, they used quilts to keep themselves warm, while in summer, every woman used an umbrella to keep off the sun’s rays. The Squire’s family and a few other families had large carry-alls. They looked something like an old stagecoach. Many of the churchgoers walked. In summer it was a common sight to see a group of worshippers, clad in their very best, walking down the road in their bare feet, with their shoes and hose slung over their shoulders or carried in their hands. The roads were so muddy in wet weather and so dusty in dry that their shoes would not correspond with the rest of their costumes if worn on the way. On arriving in sight of the church, they sat down on the roadside and donned their footgear. So they were spic and span when they reached the church. Mail was brought in twice a week. The mail rider came from Mars Bluff and stopped overnight at Johnsonville. The old Squire had a room in the back of the store where the mail rider slept. Next morning he went on to Georgetown. On his return trip, he again spent the night in Johnsonville. Chapter 8 In the winter before her 16th birthday, Judith Grier was well grown, physically and mentally. Her mind and body were healthy and robust. She was considered the prettiest of all the Grier girls. Now, your grandmother didn’t say that, she is far too modest, but Aunt Agnes told me so several times before her death. So I have it on good authority. At home no were Hortense, Julia, Mitchell, and Judith, as well as little Pectina. The Squire sold his store at the end of the lane and it was now Kimball and Johnson’s. He had built a large new store very close to the house and moved his business there. He continued to do a good business there. �Plans were being seriously considered by the Squire now to send Judith off to school. He promised she should go the next fall. Hortense had been prepared for college before the war, but owing to this interruption, she had to wait, and during the first few years afterwards, her father was not able to send her. She was now her father’s right hand; kept all his books, and was consulted often by him concerning his affairs. She often said she’d never marry as long as her father lived. And, she didn’t. Some years after his death, she married a widower with several children. Julia had never been strong and had not attended school regularly. Neither she nor Mitchell showed any strong leaning towards books and school. So, the Squire’s hopes were all pinned on Judith. He was anxious for her to go and yet reluctant to have her leave her home. When he decided to send her, it was too late for your grandmother met your grandfather. One Sunday in February before she was 16 in May, Judith and her two sisters went to the ferry to see their brother, Jim, who was very ill. While they were there, two young men on horseback came across the ferry and tying their horses came in to warm their hands. Hortense knew one of these, Zachary Taylor Eaddy, and introductions were soon made. It was a case of love at first sight, so both parties concerned always declared. When the girls started home, the boys, as boys will the whole world over, walked with them and led their horses. Taylor Eaddy tried to walk by Judith, but she demurely put Hortense between them. Every time he dropped back on a narrow path, she’s step ahead and when he advanced on the side where Judith had been, he’d find Hortense still between them. Your grandmother says he teased her many times about that walk in after years. After that walk, it was curious how often she ran across him. She’d never seen him before, but now every day or so he was at the store, just at the times she was there, too. She saw and chatted with him on Sundays at the church, and he passed the house several times. Each time he passed, he was seized with consuming thirst and must have a drink from the Squire’s well. Page | 33 �He finally summoned up his courage and came around with the boys who came to see the older girls one Sunday afternoon. This amused the other girls as he was Judy’s first beau. There were not many Sunday callers, not for lack of attractions on the parts of the girls, but for lack of encouragement on the part of the Squire. He was not only not encouraging, he was downright discouraging! He disliked anyone who came to see his daughters. He was a possessive old man; what was his, he wanted to keep, boys and girls, as well as property and money. Soon Taylor Eaddy’s attention to Judy became so persistent as to attract notice. The Squire was beginning to rumble way down in his throat about that “young cub.” The rumblings became an outburst when Taylor finally went to him and asked his permission to address his daughter. He answered that Judy was too young; she was to go off to school in the fall, and added that he, Taylor Eaddy had best stay away. Still the young man persisted. He found out that Judy “was willing” to quote Barkis, so back to the Squire he went! This time there was thunder, lightning, and rain for Judith cried when her father came home and issued his orders. She was not to be allowed out of the house unless accompanied by her mother or Hortense. She was not to be allowed to see or communicate with “that young whippersnapper” again. Opposition only made the young people more determined. Taylor brought letters to the home of the Squire’s manager and gave them to the manager’s wife. Judith sent Henry after them; he also carried her answers. Taylor still came to the house, but when he drove up Judith was sent upstairs and not allowed down until he left. But, they communicated all the same. He’d leaned against the railing on the porch. Henry crawled under the house and received the note dropped. After reading it, Judith answered, and Henry again crawled under the house. He’d push the note on the edge of the porch where Taylor’s foot quickly hid it from sight. Henry used to roll his black yes and say, “If Marsa a-knowed what I’se a-doing, he’d kill me shore.” But, he struck by Judith to the end. Preparations were being pushed to get Judith off to school when the young folks took things into their own hands. They left one night and were married. Henry and her sister, Julia, helped her off. She packed her suitcase early in the afternoon and had Page | 34 �Henry slip it out of the side door and hide it under the gooseberry bush, just inside the garden. Her mother was away from home that afternoon, and it made the task easier. Taylor met her at the back gate, while her father and mother sat on the front porch. Her father said just before she left the house, “I believe those children are up to something. I’ll take Judith off tomorrow, and we can send the rest of her things.” Judith and Taylor had to make a detour from the back to the road in front of the house; one of Taylor’s friends with a buggy waited around the bend in the road for the runaways. Both young men were very much afraid of the Squire and they had quite a good laugh on his friend that night. He had waited for the couple until his nerves were all on edge, and finally, heard someone coming on horseback. He thought surely it was the Squire, so hastily deserting the horse and buggy, he made off down the road. The horseman, however, overtook him and told the joke on him. The runaways came at length, and the three went to Taylor Eaddy’s home where the preacher and a big supper awaited them. There were games, frolicking, and music until nearly daylight, but no dancing at “old man Taylor Eaddy’s.” The Squire knew she had gone before bedtime, but he made no effort to go after her. He forbade them to speak of her; he would not let them send her clothes to her, and never, as long as he lived, did he speak to her, nor, until after his death, did she speak to her mother. On Sundays, she generally saw her sisters at church and they always had a talk. He never interfered, but he never asked them a question of how she fared. However, at his death they found that she had been included with the rest of the heirs in the notes and items he left. He had made no will, but left a paper showing what he wished each to have. Your grandmother says in looking back over the years, “I don’t blame Pa a bit. He was right. Of course, I was too young, but I couldn’t see it then, and I’ve never regretted it for no married life could have been happier than ours.” Three years later, Julia, now 26, was married. The Squire again opposed the match, but seeing that she was determined to marry with or without his consent, he at least gave in. She was quietly married at home, only the immediat4 family being Page | 35 �present. The Squire would not come into the house, but paced the porch all during the ceremony. Mitchell had always stayed at home and worked on the farm. He was the farmer and Jim was the mechanic. When he was 22 years old, Mitchell was suddenly stricken and died from an illness of only two days. Doctors then said that he had an abscess on the liver, but it has since been thought that he must have had appendicitis. A bother of N. H. Venters bought hogs several times from the Squire. He always brought his collie dog, Larry, to help him catch them. Larry took quite a fancy to Mitchell and kept running away from home to stay with him. Mr. Venters moved and gave the dog to Mitchell. The two were inseparable. Larry slept at the door of his master’s room. When Mitchell became ill, the dog stayed under the bed until forced out. Then he went under the house where at intervals he howled pitifully. The night his master died, he howled all night. He followed the family to the graveyard and after the funeral, he remained beside the grave. At night fall, the Squire sent Henry for him. He was found stretched out at the foot of the grave. Henry carried him home, and offered him something to eat for he had eaten nothing since the last time his master had fed him. He refused to eat, and the moment he was let loose, he returned to his master’s grave. They brought him home several times, but he always slipped off and went back. When he was tied, he gnawed the rope in two and left; when they shut him up, he howled until it was unbearable and head to be let out. All this time, not one mouthful did he eat. He was so weak that he reeled when he walked. The last time he went back, the Squire had Henry take the gun and shoot him. It was better to kill him than to let him starve to death. Pectina married at 15. Again, her father gave way to his daughter’s wishes and allowed her to be married at home. He didn’t want her to marry, but if she was determined to do so, he said he’d rather she’d be married at home than to run away. The morning she was to be married, he left the house immediately after breakfast, went to the store, and locked himself in. First one, and then another went after him, but he wouldn’t even open the door. His wife made what excuses she could to the minister and the guests who assembled. The bridal couple and their guests had dinner Page | 36 �at 12, but it was only after the last buggy had driven away that the Squire came back to the house. Chapter 9 Your grandfather, Zachary Taylor Eaddy, was 24 and your grandmother was 16 when they were married. The night of the marriage he said, “There’s an old saying that runaway matches never turn out well. Let us be sure that ours does.” And it did. The Eaddy place was only four or five miles from the Grier home, but four miles in those days was as great a distance as 20 miles is today. As that family attended church at Prospect until Old Johnsonville was built, the two families had no acquaintance with each other. Mr. Eaddy and the Squire were acquainted in a business way, but there had been no occasion for a more personal intimacy. Grandfather Eaddy, Taylor’s father, was often likened to Jacob in his old days for he had 12 sons. But at the time, your grandmother went there, he had only 11. Those were borne by his first two wives. He was no married to his third wife, who was later the mother of his 12th son, Aunt Emily, as she was known far and wide. She herself was a widow at the time she married Grandfather Eaddy and brought three girls and three boys with her. Several of Taylor’s older brothers were married and off at work for themselves, so when he brought Judy there she found only six of the Eaddy boys, three girls and three boys of Aunt Emily’s and one of Taylor’s sisters-in-law. Two of the Stone girls, Aunt Emily’s first husband was a Stone, were well grown, but the baby girl was only two or three. She soon learned to love “Sis Judy” better than all the rest and cried when Judy left her at any time. Your grandmother had always said that she was the sweetest baby she ever knew. The little girl died from pneumonia when she was just six years old. The house was a large two-pen log house. A two-pen house is built with a wide central hall with rooms on either side. The wide hall here was 16 feet wide and it ran into a cross passage nearly as wide. Behind the cross passage were the dining room and kitchen. Page | 37 �Doc, one of Taylor’s brothers, had built a little house at the end of the lane in front of his father’s. There were two double beds in Doc’s house and some of the boys slept there with him, but they all ate at their father’s. At Grandfather Eaddy’s they ran nine beds and every one of them was generally full. The long table seldom seated all at a time. Fifteen or 16 was the regular number to eat three meals a day there. As Grandfather Eaddy kept an open house, and there was a constant stream of company there were very frequently several more, especially for dinner and supper. Aunt Emily had a small wooden bucket with a lid to it, somewhat larger than a gallon syrup can. This was the sugar pot. It always sat on a stool by the side of Aunt Emily’s chair. She said that a smaller one would be a waste of time. Your grandmother has it now and all of you children have used it as a seat. When the small grandchildren come on a visit, at mealtimes, out comes the bucket. Placed in a chair it makes just the right height for the babies. There was always a cook in the kitchen, but with such a large family, there was work for all to do. Aunt Emily was an industrious woman who fully believed that Satan found work in idle hands. She always kept busy herself and saw to it that those around her had their tasks. There were four large girls in the house, her two daughters, Sally and Liza, and two of Grandfather Eaddy’s daughters-in-law, Aunt Selma and our grandmother. These four took turns helping with the dishes. Your grandmother says before she noticed it, she’d fallen into a habit of complaining with headaches a great deal. One day she was outside leaning against the house. Liza was with her, rubbing her head, when she heard Sally say, “It’s Sis Judy’s and Sis’ time to do the dishes, but it’s no use to call them. Every time it’s their turn, Sis Judy has the headache, and Sis has to rub it.” Instead of getting mad, your grandmother laughed it off, and she saw to it that her headaches did not interfere with their household duties after that. Grandfather Eaddy controlled the whole household. All his stepchildren went to him for orders. Aunt Emily was his sister-in-law by marriage. In other words, his wife, I don’t know which one, and Aunt Emily’s first husband were brother and sister. Page | 38 �His brother, Martin Eaddy, was a Methodist preacher. He [was the one] who performed the wedding ceremony for your grandparents. Grandfather Eaddy was a great Christian. There was always prayer, night and morning. The children and members of the family were allowed a great deal of freedom, but all knew exactly where to stop. He was strict and firm, but never harsh or unjust with them, and their obedience was given to him like due. He loved company of any kind and young folks, especially. Often, the old house was filled to overflowing, but there was no unseemly behavior, no matter how large a crowd had collected there. One Sunday afternoon, just as the congregation was dismissed at Prospect Church, a bad cloud gathered. At Grandfather Eaddy’s invitation, between 40 and 50 people went to his house and to wait until the cloud passed. The storm broke just as they reached the house and raged so long and fiercely that they all had to spend the night. The presiding elder was one of the guests. The 40-odd people were given supper in [stages.] They all ate heartily and yet there was plenty left. The presiding elder said he wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes. He likened it to the feeding of the multitude by the Lord. They guests were also given breakfast the next morning before they left. Fortunately, it was summertime, so there was difficulty about preparing beds for all. His house was headquarters for the preachers; and travelers were always sent to “old man Taylor Eaddy’s” when they asked where they could find a place to spend the night. All such travelers were welcomed not only for their own sakes, but for the touch of the outside world they brought. This household was so vastly different from the one in which she had been reared, and it gave her a new outlook on life. Chapter 10 In January, young Taylor and his wife, Judy, left his father’s house and rented a place for themselves. They had a place about a mile from the old Eaddy home. Your Page | 39 �Uncle Laurie and Aunt Salema, Uncle John and Aunt Beulah were their near neighbors, and they were all close enough to run in and out at their father’s. The Tow started housekeeping very simply. They furnished a bedroom, dining room, and kitchen. Their father Eaddy gave them a bedroom suite, part of it handmade. Page | 40 This she still has. He also gave them [sic] two mattresses and a feather bed, all homemade, but just as comfortable, your grandmother says, as any you can buy nowadays. Uncle Jerry Cribb, uncle by courtesy to the entire community, made two rockers and six chairs for them. The large rocker is still in constant use in her bedroom, while the little chair is the one she gave me when Carolyn was born. She rocked all her babies in it, and I’ve rocked all of mine in it. She still has most of her chairs, though they are now stored in the loft of the garage. His uncle made them two old fashioned bread trays and a dining table. The cooking was done in the big open chimney. And, your grandmother said with such a wistful look and accent, “It was such a nice chimney,” as if the very thought of those days was sweet. They bought pots, pans, dishes, and bed linen, no such supply as a bride now deems necessary, but a nice supply of good substantial things. There was no money to buy a horse or mule, with corn and forage to feed it. But, they were not all all-at-a-loss; they used an ox. The ox needed very little attention or food for he could get almost all he needed by grazing. Of course, he was slow, but the world wasn’t in such a hurry then as it is now, and the ox made a good crop for them. Aunt Emily gave them a good start in the chickens, just common mixed stock, but they furnished all the eggs the young couple needed, as well as giving them an occasional chicken to eat. Their father Eaddy gave them a brood sow and so they set up housekeeping for themselves. They had company very often. As there was only one bed, when there were guests, the hosts put one of the mattresses for themselves on the floor in the dining room and gave their room to their company. They slept as well on the floor for they �were young and the joy of having company made their hard bed easy to them; so they slept as only the young and hardworking can. And they did work hard. They were up before daylight so the young farmer could bet to the field early. He worked on the farm all his life, but always with his father and under his directions, and this was his first venture for himself. He toiled early and late, while she cooked, washed, mended, and kept the house and garden just as it all should be. Cabbage seed was the only seed bought for the garden. The other seed was saved from year-to-year. If a neighbor had a very prolific seed of beans, collards, peas or what not, he, or usually she, saved a little extra to give her friends. “Just enough for seed,” she’d say as she gave it. This first year on the farm yielded them sixty bushels of rice over and above their own needs; plenty of corn; potatoes; syrup, and their own meat. The extra rice was carried to Georgetown and sold there. With the proceeds of this year’s labor, he made the first payment on a little place near his father’s and built on it. This was called Brown’s Summer House Place. The old historical settlement of Indiantown was only five or six miles away. The elite of the countryside lived near Indiantown before the war. Here where your grandfather bought was a natural artesian spring, Boiling Springs. It must have derived its name from the way it bubbled and oiled up out of the ground for it was certainly cool and delightful to drink. There are several of these natural springs in this country, although they have been neglected since the art of boring an artesian well just where it’s wanted has been developed. The water in this low country was considered as unhealthy, especially when there was much rain for then the wells were filled with surface water. These artesian springs came from underground streams whose sources were in the mountains. The water generally came from some depth and the hotter the day, the cooler the water seemed. Several of the well-to-do families at Indiantown had formed a summer colony with the Boiling Springs as a center. At the end of the war, they had been unable to Page | 41 �keep up their summer home, so had sold them when they could do so. This place had belonged to the Brown’s. Your grandfather built on the site of the summer house, which had long been burned by careless tenants. A few fruit trees and several shade trees made a nice setting for the little log house he planned. He and two men went into the woods where the cut and peeled the logs, then hauled them to the selected spot. Word went out over the neighborhood, “House raising for Tay Eaddy at the Old Summer House Place.” The morning set for the house raising, women with their snow white aprons on, their babies and their handwork in their arms, followed their husbands to Grandfather Grier’s. They helped prepare a bountiful dinner. The men all went to work on the new house until dinner time. After dinner and an hour’s rest, the men went back, while the women plied their needles and their tongues. By night time, the logs were all in place, and the rafters on and ready for shingling. The shingles themselves were split by hand, down in the woods and then hauled up. The only charge for all the help given was a dinner, which the host enjoyed as much as his guests. Your grandfather planted no money crops this year. He worked in the turpentine woods. He planted plenty of food crops, as well as forage, and the stayed at home when they needed attention. Other days, the young folks arose at two o’clock in the morning. Your grandmother cooked breakfast and fixed lunch for her husband. He walked to his father’s where others joined him. They all went off together some five or six miles and reached there in time to begin work at daylight. Meantime, Judith generally went back to bed; she had very little to do and she had all day to do it in. Often neighbors came in or she carried her sewing, all of which was done by hand, over to spend the afternoon with Aunt Emily. It was always dark before your grandfather came rushing through the woods to find her waiting at the edge of the clearing. “One night,” said your grandmother, “Tay was late. I watched and watched. I was so uneasy I just couldn’t rest. I just knew something had happened to him. At nine he still hadn’t come. I couldn’t endure it any longer. So off I set to father Eaddy’s. The moon was full and as bright as day. But as I had to go through the woods, I lighted a fat lightwood torch. About halfway, just before Page | 42 �I reached Jim Cox’s house, I hear Tay coming and whistling. I stopped and sat down by a stump by the side of the path to wait for him. Nothing had happened to him, and I began to feel just the least bit amused. His whistle sounded so cheery and satisfied and I had been so miserable and worried. Just as Tay got in front of Jim Cox’s house, Jim hailed him, “That you, Tay?” On Tay’s answering, Jim asked, “Did anyone pass you up the path there?” And when Tay said “no,” he continued, “That’s funny. I sure seen a light down yonder away and it went out all in a minute.” Tay assured him he’d passed no one and added, “I must hurry. Wife’s all alone and looking for me.” I heard every word that was said very clearly, and as Tay came on I thought surely he’d see me. I had on a white dress and I was sitting right by the edge of the path. But, he passed me whistling just as hard as he could. I was pretty made by that time, so I let him get well ahead. Then I got up and followed him. As he turned a bend, he found the woods were beginning to blaze. A spark had blown off my torch and set things a burning. He seized some underbrush and began to beat it out. After seeing that he’d have no trouble quenching the flames, I slipped around by another path, ran home quickly, and when he finally came in I was undressed and in the bed. I was determined not to give him any idea of how worried I’d been. I didn’t tell him of it for several years later. Here the first baby was born. Your grandfather had insisted the first baby must be a boy. The event was eagerly looked forward to and great was the grief of the young parents when the baby was still-born. After the death of the baby, they both took a dislike to the little home they’d built with such high hopes and as there was another payment due on the place he sold out to his brother. Chapter 11 The third year they sharecropped up very near Lake City. The people there were all lovely to them; they made some fast friends, but they were homesick, especially your grandmother. She said the first three months she stayed there were the most miserable she ever “put over.” Page | 43 �The whole year she was there she didn’t go to church a single Sunday. Church as the meeting place for the community. It was the center of life for the neighborhood. As soon as one Sunday was over the people began to plan for another. To have to spend one Sunday at home was bad, but to be unable to attend for 52 Sundays was unbearable. Their second little girl was born here. Your grandfather had jokingly said again that the baby must be a boy, and was a little disappointed that it was a girl. However, the wee lady only opened her eyes and then closed them forever. It tore them both, but especially the father. The next year they went back to Grandfather Eaddy’s. He gave them a house and all the land they wanted to work. Your grandfather worked in the turpentine woods and hired most of his farm work done. Labor was to be had for two meals and 25 cents a day. The hands were willing to take corn, peas, or potatoes in place of cash. Here the third baby arrived. Before its birth your grandfather was asked, “Do you want a girl or a boy?” And his fervent answer was, “Either one, either one. Just so it lives.” When the baby girl, hearty and healthy, was placed in his arms, there wasn’t a happier man in the world. It is a characteristic of the Eaddys to adore babies and I’ve never seen a baby refuse to go to one. Your grandfather was no exception. All the babies and little folks in the neighborhood loved him and were loved by them in return. This baby was named Margaret Ann after her maternal grandmother. Your grandfather was always accused of being partial to “Sister.” And indeed, she was and remained the apple of his eye as long as he lived. All these years your grandmother saw neither her father nor mother. Her mother constantly sent messages, but she respected her husband’s wishes enough not to cross him. Your grandmother saw the girls at home every Sunday and often at her married sisters’ or Brother Jim’s. There was a constant interchange of visits among these married sisters. “And no brother was ever better to any sister than Brother Jim was to me,“ I’ve heard your grandmother say over and over. When he caught his first shad, his second one went to little Judy as she always remained to him. Page | 44 �Your grandfather was a great fisherman himself, as well as a hunter. He kept his table well supplied with squirrel, wild turkey, deer, partridge, and wild duck in season. He was always among the first to get shad in the spring and a day on the river with his rod or nets, or in the swamp with his gun, was his delight. The year your Uncle Bub was born your grandfather and grandmother were living at what we now call the Lee Hughes place. Then it was known as the Price place. Her former teacher, Mr. Price, had lived there. It was about half a mile from Ard’s Cross Roads. The new baby was expected daily and your grandfather had been tied down at home, afraid to leave. One afternoon, he said he must go to the cut landing to see about his boat and get it ready for shad fishing. Rene Timmons, a white woman, was there with your grandmother and she said, “Don you leave, Tay. Don’t you leave. I’m not a-going to stay here with Judy by myself.” He laughed, promised to be back by dark, and right after dinner he left, with Rene still protesting. About the middle of the afternoon your grandmother was sitting in front of the fire popping corn for the baby when suddenly she stopped and called, “Rene.” Rene came on the run, “I knew it. I knew It. That good-for-nothing Taylor Eaddy ought to be hung. He had no business leaving. Set still, honey, don’t you move till I come back.” As she reached the porch, she leaned over and pulled off one shoe and gave it a fling; the other one followed as she muttered, “Can’t make no time with those things on.” And down the road she went panting. As soon as she got in sight of the Cross Roads, she began to call. Mr. and Mrs. Ard and Rene’s sister came to meet her. Mr. Ard told the women to hurry back to your grandmother while he hitched up and went for the doctor. They called her the doctor, but for such a case a doctor was never even considered. A doctor woman was all that was deemed necessary. So natural and so in the general run of things did they consider a confinement that no one thought of getting a doctor. It was thought an unnecessary expense. Dr. Grier was living at the Cross Roads and it would have been nearer to get him than to go for “Aunt Lizzie,” but such an idea never entered their heads. When your grandfather returned they had his long wished for son to show him, although he was back by dark. Page | 45 �They left the Price place in March. Grandfather Eaddy had given your grandfather a place on the Lake in what they called then the “backwoods.” In the intervals of his turpentine working he was trying to build a house on his place. But it was a long tramp from the backwoods to the Price place, so when he had a change to move to the Cox place he was glad to do so. He was asked to move there and oversee the picking and weighing of Cousin Robert’s cotton. It put him much closer to his own place. He finished up his house so he could move in January. When they moved he made a special trip to Kingstree and bought her first stove for your grandmother. It was while she was living there that she bought her firs sewing machine. Machine agents were riding the country over in buggies with large flat backs on which they carried one or two machines for demonstrating purposes. Several of the neighbors bought a very inferior machine which lasted only a short time and was very unsatisfactory; but your grandmother bought a Household. That machine had the reputation that the Singer enjoys now. And it was a good one! Your grandmother bought it in 1882 or ’83 and she used it for all her sewing until 1912. In 1915, she gave the old Household to me. It was still doing good work. You older girls all learned to sew on it and I suppose we’d still be using it, but some of the babies lost the only bobbin we had and it couldn’t be found. One afternoon in early spring when your Uncle bub was a little fellow he pulled off his shoes and stockings and went into the yard. Your grandmother was sweeping the yard and as she was almost through, she made him sit on top of a box until she was ready to go in. He went to bed as well as usual, but just as his mother and father were preparing to retire, he gave one croupy cough and then choked right up. They worked over him with all the medicine they had, but couldn’t relieve him. So your grandfather ran to yard, and called his brother, John, whose home was within calling distance. He and Aunt Beulah came with their remedies. Aunt Beulah had a bottle of new medicine for croup. It had been made by an Indian who lived several miles away. She insisted on giving the baby some “Aligator [sic] Oil” and as he seemed to be getting worse, they finally decided to try it. Whether it was the alligator oil or the other remedies, his breathing soon became better, but it was nearly daylight before they Page | 46 �decided it was safe to leave him. Your grandmother says that was the worse croup she has ever seen and it was not possible to get a doctor to him that night. Your grandfather had no horse; so he would have had to walk to his father’s house, nearly a mile away, hitch up and ride five miles for the doctor, then ride the five miles back with Page | 47 him. It would have been nearly daylight before the doctor could have reached him. One day in February your grandfather went shad fishing; that day was cloudy with occasional spells of sunshine. The [clouds] seemed heavy and your grandmother felt tire and restless. Just after dinner a quick, heavy shower came; then the sun shone again. Your grandfather with his friends left the river with a fine catch and started home again, but as they reached a house close to the landing, another sudden burst of rain caused them to take refuge in the house. The rain fall was sharp and heavy but it lasted only a few minutes. Your grandfather picked up his fish and said, “Well, boys, I must be going.” As he, followed by the other fishermen and their host, started out they heard a terrible roaring. The noise was indescribable. They rand to the door and your grandfather said, “If you have a ditch or a cellar on the place, you’d better get the children in it for that’s a twister coming, as sure as I’m alive.” But there was no such thing on the place. Everyone gathered in a group in the yard. They were afraid to stay out, and yet the cloud seemed to woven a spell over them, for they stood as if chained to the spot. The air seemed still, but the black cloud was rapidly approaching and the rumbling grew louder and louder. A breeze sprang up and became a gale. The storm swept by them but it struck the house full force, taking the four outside walls and the roof off, leaving only the floor and the inner partitions. When at last your grandfather could get away, anxious to see how his family had fared, he had to cross the path of the storm. A section over which they generally passed in ten minutes took them two hours to cross. Huge trees were down, portions of houses, furniture, and logs from no one knew where had to be cleared out of the road before they could pass. The storm didn’t touch the backwoods section, but it struck the hill where we now live. Dr. Grier had just completed this house and moved in. He had put a family of Negroes in the old log Horse House. That house stood about where that old horse apple �tree stands in the field. This house did not stand in the path of the storm, but it demolished the Horse house. Not one log was left on another. Some of the logs were afterwards found as far off as the cut landing, carried there by the force of the storm. The Negroes who lived there had come in haste to Dr. Grier’s at the first sound and sight of the storm. No one was hurt during the storm although great damage and loss was dealt to the houses and trees. There was one woman hurt after the storm. The floor in her house had been torn up in many places and she stepped in one of the large cracks thus made and broke her leg. Your grandmother’s health wasn’t all good the years she lived here. She was almost an invalid though she managed to keep things going. She was subject to severe headaches, which left her nerves all torn up. She had not been real well since the last baby came. A doctor had settled on the lake. He treated her and tried to cure her, but the good doctor had periods of irresponsibility. He couldn’t’ always come when needed so your grandfather made several trips to Kingstree to see Dr. Scott, who tried treating her by long distance. Chapter 12 In the second year they lived there, the old Squire died from a combined attack of pneumonia and pleurisy. He left each of the children a nice sum of cash outright. His property, personal and real, was all put up for sale at public auction. They family bid in most of things. One of the things your grandmother bid in was the big, six legged sideboard that he had bought at Col. Alston’s sale when he was first married. It had been removed from the dining room some years before when the Squire bought a more modern one. The home place, of course, was her mother’s property already. The Squire had quite a large number of stocks, bonds, and mortgages. These were all labeled as “worthless,” “worth 100%,” “worth 75%”, and so on; so the heirs had no trouble dividing them evenly. Before the division several people came to your grandmother and asked her to please buy their mortgages. She did take in as many of these requests as she could. Page | 48 �She did not go home to her father’s funeral. She felt that as he had never allowed her to come in his life time, she rather not go in the house while he lay there. After the funeral her mother sent the buggy for her, but she refused to go. Then her mother sent her brother-in-law, Henry Spivey, with the message that now she, her mother, was boss at home, and she wanted all the children home so your grandmother went. Not quite a year later Grandfather Eaddy died. At that time his and Aunty Emily’s baby, his 12th son, was nearly six year old. Marvin Eaddy as an extraordinary child. Your grandmother says he was born good and yet he was full of fun. He was about a year older than her oldest little girl. When he was two your grandparents were living in sight of his father’s and Marvin used to spend a great part of his time there. One afternoon, he stayed until it was nearly dusk, as he started home, your grandmother said, “Wait awhile, son. When Brother Tay comes he’ll take you home.” “No, Sis Judy,” he said gravely, raising his big blue eyes, “I’ll just toddle along.” Marvin’s life was short for he died just as he reached manhood, but he left a lasting imprint on all whose lives came in contact with his. Grandfather Eaddy had no vast wealth to his boys. Before his death he had given each of them a farm, but he left them that which is better, an honest and upright heritage. The year following her father’s death, your grandmother’s health grew rapidly worse. Dr. Scott told your grandfather he believed he could straighten her out if he could see her every day. If he couldn’t bring her to Kingstree to live for a while, she’d have to go to the hospital. In those days, the hospital was the last resort. A person who had gone to the hospital … [script illegible] … A move for a year was considered preferable to a few weeks in the hospital. It was a big change for your grandmother. All her life had been spent on farms with the nearest neighbor just in sight, if not out of sight. Now she had neighbors to the right of her; neighbors to the left of her; neighbors in front of her, and neighbors in the back. Your grandmother enjoyed them all. She was always good company herself and she did like to be with others. So many of her days had been spent alone, and Page | 49 �while she was never lonely, she reveled in her present position. The neighbors were all busy people but they took time to show many delicate attentions to the new neighbor who wasn’t as strong as they. They had quite an exciting time there one night. Your grandfather always got up Page | 50 and brought fresh water for your grandmother to take her medicine during the night. A door from their room opened onto the back porch and was fastened on the inside with a wooden latch. That night he got the water as usual, but evidently failed to latch the door on his return. Just before day, bot started out of their sleep to hear a soft pad, pad as of someone with bare feet walking around the room. Your grandfather put his hand warningly on your grandmother’s arm. The sound paused at the dresser which stood at the head of the bed, and they could hear someone breathing in quick, short breaths. Another step or two and the intruder knocked over the chair with the medicine and glass on it. After the first loud crash, the silence was so great that they were almost afraid to breath. Your grandfather’s pistol was at the head of the bed but the unwelcome visitor was so close that there had been no change to get it. Soon the steps sounded again; this time the intruder seemed to be sneaking toward the door into the hall. As soon as your grandfather ascertained this, he seized his pistol and fired twice, quickly, both time rather low down. There was one low sound heard, then again silence. “Stick a match, wife, quick.” And your grandfather was out in the hall, bending over something just outside the door. Quick footsteps sounded at the front and a neighbor who happened to be up and dressed called, “Open up, Eaddy; open up. What’s happened” Your grandfather opened the door and said, “For goodness sake, come here and help me to take this dog out and bury him before someone sees him. I haven’t the least idea who he belongs to, but he nearly scared wife and me to death.” They never did find out to whom he belonged, but you may be sure that the back bedroom door was safely latched every night after that. Your grandmother’s health improved rapidly under Dr. Scott’s care. Your grandfather had to be away from home a great deal. He spent much of his time back home for it kept him busy, riding from one place to another, over which your �grandmother had mortgages. He had to see to it that the Negroes kept up their work so they could meet their payments when due. She son sold nearly all her mortgages in a lump to a lawyer from Lake City. She kept a few choice places near where she had always lived. As soon as Dr. Scott turned her a-loose they moved back. Your grandfather had bought a part of the old Owings Place and in November 1885 they moved there from Kingstree and lived there until his death 21 years later. Chapter 13 The conditions in this part of the country had changed but little since your grandmother was a little girl. The methods of transportation were the same. The roads were just as bad as ever. None of the streams [had] bridges. They had to be forded and every road had two or three streams running across it. When the streams were high there was very little traveling done by the ladies, and when the men went they either rode horseback or walked. Each stream had a foot log stretched over it for the travelers on foot. One had to have a steady head and a sure foot to cross on these in all kinds of weather. In rainy weather the water came up into the buggies, sometimes even covering the seat, for that reason they were not used so much. The mail came now by way of Lake City to Vox post office and on to Johnsonville. It still came only twice a week. It had been let out on contract as a star route. The carrier served several little country post offices on his trip. Your grandmother’s new home was three miles from Ard’s Cross Roads, where the Old Johnsonville Church was. At the Cross Roads was also a general store run by Mr. Ard and another store, generally called the whiskey shop. Leaving the house to come to the Cross Roads, first your grandfather crossed the stream that ran through the swamp directly in front of the house. One the other side of the swamp, about three quarters of a mile away, lived Llewelyn Stone, one of Aunty Emily’s boys. Next was the Owings Place; then through another swamp to the Irwin schoolhouse, built by the men of that section for “Miss Nannie” to teach in. This was a mile and a half from home. Lee McDaniel’s was the next house and on the other Page | 51 �side of another swamp stood the Claywall farm. Nearly a mile further was the home of Mr. Venters. The Ards themselves lived at the Cross Roads where Mr. Cox lives. That road has changed very little as far as buildings are concerned. The woodlands have all been cleared up and are cultivated every year. The swamps have been thinned out to some extent and the streams have been bridged, but otherwise a traveler returned after years afar, would feel very much at home. On the other side of your grandmother and within calling distance but facing on another road lived Cousin Robert Cox. Cousin Fannie, his wife, was a notable doctor. She was called in for every ailment for miles around. She had her doctor books and studied them. “Old Doctor Gunn” was her standby. Your grandmother has a copy of it and even now you’ll hear her say often concerning some disease or afflictions, “Old Doctor Gunn says…” Cousin Fannie kept quite a store of herbs, wild and cultivated on hand. She had in her own garden every known herb that could be used for medicine. She had her regular times to go into the swamp and hedges; there she gathered May apple, which was used in place of calomel, and sassafras roots from which she made a blood purifier. A blood purifier was considered absolutely necessary every spring after a winter diet of pork and hominy and cornbread, with an occasional dish of collards or a pot of peas. All these roots, barks, and herbs were put up and kept by Cousin Fannie. Her services and concoctions were given freely and willingly and not one cent did she charge. Her presence was a tonic. She never gave anything but the simplest of remedies, but she used plenty of common sense and cleanliness. She was like a mother to your grandmother. Diagonally across the fields and on the same road with Cousin Robert lived Cousin Fannie’s brother, Cousin Charlie Huggins and his wife, Cousin Sallie. It is a question as to which your grandmother liked the best, Cousin Sallie or Cousin Fannie. Both were much older than she and she thought a great deal of them both. Cousin Sallie was a great doctor herself. Her father was a physician, an Englishman, and had received his education in England. She had studied some with him Page | 52 �and had helped him a great deal with his practice. She was glad to help anyone who came to her, but she did not go around to other people’s houses. Now, I won’t presented to trace the kinship, or to state whether Cousin Fannie and Cousin Sallie were really any kin at all to your grandmother. She always called them cousins and they called her the same. That was the neighborhood into which your grandparents moved. They went into the old house on the place in November intending to build when it grew warmer. But the weather was so mild during January they decided to turn the old house around so it could be used as an ell on the new house. They wanted to get the work started before the field work had to be begun. Enoch and Pedden Cannon, who lived a mile back of your grandmother, had a mortgage over their farm. They promised to work it off if your grandmother would life the mortgage, and as they were good carpenters, she agreed to do this. The two men with 20 hands came early one morning, tore down the big old clay chimney at one end of the house, and turned the body of the house long-ways and back a little to serve as dining room and kitchen. The family lived in this until the building was completed. The next day was warm and sunshiny so the workmen cut the opening for the big double chimney and started work on it. About mid-day it clouded up, rained, sleeted and froze all before dark. Your grandmother had a white girl, Mary Ard, staying with her and Mary built a fire under the large cooper’s shed close to the house. Here they kept warm until bedtime. The freeze continued for two weeks. It was one of the coldest spells there’s ever been in this section. Lynch’s River and the lake froze over and one could skate across them. Never before had such a thing happened and it has never happened since. Every neighbor’s house was thrown open to your grandparents, but they elected to “stay by their stuff.” Your grandfather put up a stove in a small outside house and they were comfortable enough during the day. At night they covered up well and not even the baby took cold. The Cannons had the house almost completed by May when a most important event occurred, important at least to you and to me. Your father was born. Both the Page | 53 �older children and your grandmother had whooping cough. Your grandmother had it very badly. Your grandfather had the pleurisy at that time, also. Dr. Laurence, who lived over the lake, had been attending your grandmother, but she was so ill with the whooping cough, he dreaded the responsibility and sent for his friend, Dr. Bird, from Scranton to stay with him several days and be with him during her coming confinement. Your grandfather was still uneasy so he sent to Kingstree for Dr. Scott, also. Dr. Scott was their first guest in their new home for the work was rushed on the guest room so it would be ready for his arrival. He spent several days with them. So your father was well attended when he was ushered into this world. Strange to say he did not contract the whooping cough although everyone was whooping all around him. He was ten years old before he had it. In August, the whole house was completed, except for the brick work. You see, the carpenters could only work when the farm work was not pressing. In August, then, a brick mason and his two helpers came to underpin the house and were given the back bedroom. The first night they were there the earthquake came. Everyone had gone to his room, but your grandfather and his brother, Cape, who was spending the night there. They were on the front porch. Your grandmother knelt down to say her prayers and ask she did the baby began to cry. She got in the bed, took the baby in her arms and was lying there finishing up her prayers when the shock came. The bed rocked back and forth; the chairs were tossed this way and that; your grandmother tried to rise, but until the quaking ceased, she could not even sit up. As the tremor lessened everyone rushed out to talk it over. There were no more quakes here that night for it was too far from the center of disturbance. All the next day there was one shock after another, but none as severe as the first one. It wasn’t until the mail came in from Georgetown several days later that they learned how disastrous the earthquake had been in many places. (PS The earthquake happened August 31, 1886, at 9:50 p.m.) The two older children, Sister and Bub, went to school at the Irvin schoolhouse where “Miss Nannie” taught. She taught for several years and all her old pupils have a very tender spot in their hearts for her. She brought her small children to the Page | 54 �schoolhouse and had a pallet on the floor for them to rest on. The McDaniels, Coxs, Huggins, and Eaddys, besides a few other families, sent their children to her. The school was a mile and a half from your grandmother, but the road was shady and there was plenty of company coming and going. The little girls wore white aprons over their dark dresses. And I’ve heard your grandmother tell often of how long Sister could wear her apron and still have it fresh and clean. As soon as she returned from school she replaced her white school apron with a gingham one for housework. The little boys wore knee pants and white waists with big collars and wide ruffles. Miss Nannie was a graduate of Charleston College. Your grandfather and Cousin Charlie hired her at first to come and teach their children, two in each family. Then the Irvin schoolhouse was built and she ran what was called a pay school. Each pupil paid her a dollar a month. Later she was engaged by the county to teach school in this district. That was called a free school. There were no grades but where children had the same books they were put into a class together. When the parents went to get books they got what books they could find. It made no difference if theirs were different from all the rest. The old Guffey’s and Appleton’s Readers were used chiefly. Chapter 14 Your grandparents were anxious for Sister to take music lessons and one of Cousin Charlie’s boys wanted them, too. So your grandfather and Cousin Charlie hired a teacher, who taught the children not only music but all other subjects as well. The teacher stayed at your grandfather’s as there were only two boys at Cousin Charlie’s to go to school. For the next three years, they stopped Miss Nannie’s school altogether. During these three years they had three different teachers. They were always fortunate in getting good teachers, ones who became members of the family and set a good example for the pupils under them. Your father started to school under the last one they had in the house. Page | 55 �Two other little folks were in the house now, Fitzhugh and Sadie. With an increasing family and a teacher, in addition, besides having company constantly, your grandmother always kept plenty of help. A colored woman came in every [day] to do the washing and ironing. For help with the house work and the babies, she always had a white woman or girl. She always said she rather have someone she could trust with the baby as she’d much prefer to cook than to look after the babies. Mary Ard stayed with her for several years and only left when she married. After that she had two or three different women. One of the, the little boys, Ulmer and Fitzhugh, liked to mock as she lisped so. “She says tettle for kettle and ittle for little.” Your grandmother’s mother died when Sadie was a baby and the old home and everything in it was divided among the heirs. Her mother had a good housekeeper for several years before her death. Joanne Creel asked your grandmother to let her go home with her. As your grandmother needed help then, she was glad to have her come. Several others wanted Joanne but she had a daughter just 14 and it didn’t suit everyone to have her. Your grandmother however, was glad to have her for she took almost complete charge of the baby at once. Joanne went off several times to help others for a while, but she left Mary there. While she was gone once, Mary was so badly burned that she died. Mary loved the baby, Sadie, very much and it was her chief delight to tend to her little clothes. She wouldn’t let me go into the regular wash, but washed and ironed them every day herself. She put the irons before the fire to heat that morning, while she was washing the dishes. She came into your grandmother’s room singing, with an old table cloth in her hands, and asked if she could use part of it for a dish cloth. She went back and in just a few minutes your grandmother heard a commotion and going out she saw Mary running around the house in a sheath of flames. She stretched out both arms to your grandmother and started to her. Someone passing rushed into the yard and threw his coat over her shoulders; while your grandfather ran from the house, picked up a tub of water at the well with two shads in it and dashed it over her. She was horribly burned and suffered agonies before she died. The little room near the Page | 56 �kitchen where she died was ever after that shunned by the small members of the family, especially after dark. The boys were growing rapidly and kept your grandparents busy. There are several pieces of mischief over which your grandmother laughs now and just whispers to the grandchildren, but which were justly punished at the time of their occurrence. Maum Hannah, the washerwoman, loved her pipe. One day she put down the pipe which she had just filled and went into the house for a match. The boys slipped up, emptied out the tobacco and filled it up with gunpowder from an old gun shell. They sprinkled tobacco on top of the powder. Then they sneaked off and hid where they could see, but not be seen. They could scarcely contain themselves as she pressed down the tobacco in the bowl, struck her match and began to puff. It’s well to draw the curtain here and not display what happened to Maum Hanna or the boys, for the trick was immediately laid to their door. But the boys could not leave Maum Hannah alone. On the corner of the dining room mantel there always stood a bottle of whiskey, kept there for use as medicine. Maum Hannah was a privileged character for she worked there for years and was a good and faithful servant. But everyone has his failings and Maum Hannah was no exception. She came in one day feeling very unwell so your grandmother gave her a little does of the stimulant. After that she came in full misery very often until it became a habit for her to step in sometime during the morning and put a little “tonic” in a glass and drink it to pep her up. The members of the household joked a great deal about this, but no one moved the bottle. One day Maum Hannah eyed the bottle rather solemnly for there was only about enough for one dose left. The next week when she came she went immediately to the mantel, seemingly to warm her feet, but her face brightened wonderfully when she saw the bottle in its accustomed place, not empty, but full. Later she slipped in, poured out a stiff drink and began to down it in big swallows. At the first good taste Maum Hannah left the floor while the glass went there. “Lordy! Lordy! I’se a-burning up! I’se on fire! Miss Judy! Miss Judy!” Everyone rushed in to find Maum Hannah dancing wildly and calling alternately on the Lord and Miss Judy. Catching sigh of the boys’ faces with eyes agleam, she stopped her gymnastics to shake Page | 57 �her fist at them. “Them’s the ones. Them’s the ones done it. The good-for-nothing little imps. They’s niah killed this poor old nigger.” The boys had made a mixture of sale, pepper, Sloan’s liniment, and vinegar and put it in the bottle. So great was Maum Hanna’s haste to get her drink that she failed to Page | 58 notice that it didn’t smell as it should have. Maum Hannah never bothered the bottle of “tonic” again, but several times came to your grandmother to “giv me a drap of sumpin pure dat’s been whar them boys couldn’t find hit.” The boys all became hunters at an early age. Their father was such a sportsman and loved to take the boys with him. But the boys did all their early hunting in the swamps and woods close home. They learned to shoot an old double barreled breech loader. The first time your father shot it he was kicked completely over. The year Sister was 16, she completed the work of the 10th grade. Her uncle, Lieutenant Haselden, was principal of a school in Georgetown County. He came up and gave her the examinations, which she successfully passed. Bub went off to school very soon and the younger boys, Ulmer and Fitzhugh, went back to the Irvin schoolhouse. They were little fellows and often the plow hand went to help them over the swamp. Later Sadie and Leah went to the same school. When Miss Nannie stopped teaching, Cousin Manda Simmons taught school at the old Simmons place for a few years. She taught at the same place where your grandmother had gone to school when she was a little girl. She was “Cousin Manda” to practically every child she taught. The length of the school terms under Miss Nannie and Cousin Manda was generally three months in the summer and three months in the winter when farm work would not keep the children at home. At the end of the winter term there were always elaborate exercises. The schoolhouse was always scrubbed from top to bottom, then decorated for the occasion. The original closing exercises had been more of an examination day when the teacher endeavored to show the patrons and trustees how much the pupils had learned, but they changed by degrees, until the exercises were more of an entertaining �nature. What parent wouldn’t prefer to go to see Mary representing a fairy than to hear her say “six times six is 36.” Chapter 15 The three years that there were young teachers in the house were years full of jollity and fun. Sister was just growing up and took part in all the gayeties. Weekends were gay and hilarious occasions. Young folds would gather there on Saturday and Sunday nights and were cordially welcomed by the older folk as well as by the younger ones. Much of the time was spent around the organ, the teacher or Sister playing and all the crown singing. On Saturday night, all the late and the old songs were sung with a will, and on Sunday night the hymns were enjoyed just as much. No one ever thought of singing anything but hymns on Sunday. An admirer of the organist usually patiently stood and held a lamp when she was placed at the organ. The young people, often accompanied by your grandparents, like to go to Cousin Fannie’s after dark and spend the evening. There was a big family of growing boys and girls there and everyone had a good time. The older folk sat in the living room, while the young crowd went to the large dining room to play games or to sit and talk. There were many cousins akin on both sides of the house and the young folks were constantly spending the day or night or two or three days with each other. They all loved to come to your grandparents’ best though for your grandfather and grandmother seemed to be one of them. In the winter time there was a succession of parties, while in the summer picnics held sway. The picnics were nearly always held near the river or lake where fish could be added to the menu and boating to the amusements. Among the games played at the picnics and the parties were Needle in the eye, London Bridge, Laugh and Go Foot, and Snap, but the favorite was Rock that Cinnamon. Rock that cinnamon round and round; Rock that cinnamon round. This ended up with a little dance step which caused it to be frowned upon by the elders, although it was nothing but a folk dance of the simplest kind. Page | 59 �A great part of their entertainments consisted of games wherein the boy or girl had to choose a partner. These games were in high favor with the popular girls. Many of the games were kissing games. All of their amusements were of a physical nature calling for muscular exercise. The nature of the entertainments have changed greatly in the last few years. Now the games at the parties are quieter, quite frequently calling for mental exercise; contests of one kind and another, bridge, rook and heart’s dice are all favorites, and are not found wanting when weighed in the balance with choosing and kissing games. The reason for this change must lie in the fact that a girl’s outlook on life has so radically changed. In those days a girl’s mind was set on finding the best possible husband as soon as possible. Marriage was considered the only career for woman, unless they didn’t mind being an old maid and having to be dependent on her relatives in her old days. Girls always gave the party and chose the games and naturally the trend of the games followed the trend of the girl’s thoughts and hopes. Now girls are not dependent on marriage for the independence which they thought they’d enjoy after marriage. There are all fields open to woman [sic] today, so choosing a mate is no longer the most important thing in a girl’s life. Your Uncle Fred went off to school for several years and now had a farm about five or six miles from his father’s, Cousin Charlie Huggins. He had built himself a nice house and had started a store and was doing nicely. He kept flying around Sister although she was getting ready to go to Columbia College. Each Sunday just before dark, he strolled over to your grandfather’s and went to the barn where Bub was feeding up. Your grandfather walked out and after the feeding up was over they all started to the house. Your Uncle Fred cleared his throat nervously and said, “Cousin Tay, I’d like to speak to you a minute.” Your grandfather turned and followed him to one side. Bub started, too. His father looked at him and said, “Better go on to the house, Bub.” He moved off with a backward look and said, “Huh, looks like you’ve lots of secrets, you two.” Page | 60 �After that conference plans for sending Sister to college were dropped and shortly afterwards everyone began work on her trousseau. Her father went with her to Charleston to buy what she needed. At the Sturgeons in Lake City they conferred with Mrs. Sturgeon as to materials, yardage, trimmings and patterns. She claimed the privilege of making Sister’s wedding dress and her second day dress, as her gift to the bride. Materials for household lines were bought to be beautifully embroidered at home. Table cloths and doilies were hemstitched; sheets were hemstitched, and pillow cases were embroidered and trimmed. Scarfs and center pieces galore were deemed necessary. Not only was embroider used but knitting, tatting, and crochet. Her mother helped her make two or three pretty quilts. The choicest feathers at goose picking time were made into the best of pillows and feather beds. Her father bought her a supply of blankets. Your Uncle Fred’s mother died in August before they were to be married in November. But as soon as she knew that he was to be married, she had begun to lay aside things she wanted him to have. This bed, that mattress, these spreads, those quilts were all to go to him when he started housekeeping. The kin and neighbors all had something substantial to give the young couple. One gift was a wool mattress. The ladies lavished fancy work on her. Your Uncle Fred furnished the house to suit his bride’s taste, although her father bought her a cook stove as his gift. Her wedding dress was of white brocaded satin trimmed with real lace seven or eight inches wide. She wore a veil with the orange blossom wreath. Her second dress was of Cherokee brown cashmere trimmed with red and green plain satin. The second dress was worn by the bride the day after the wedding and was of almost as much importance as the wedding dress itself. Her hat was of white satin trimmed with lilies of the valley. They were married in November 1896 at four o’clock. Mrs. Sturgeon came from Lake City in the morning to dress the bride. Two girls, Mabel Huggins and Lillian Davis, “stood up with her” while your Uncle Freed had two of his friend to support him. It was Page | 61 �just a quiet marriage at home, but all the kith and kin and neighbors came in. There were only 20-odd that remained for supper. Barbecue and several turkeys formed the backbone of the supper, and for dessert there were cakes and pies of all descriptions. The bridal pair took no honeymoon trip, but was invited out and entertained by every aunt and uncle, cousin and friend either of the possessed. In September before her marriage occurred an event worthy of describing in detail. It might well be considered as marking the beginning of a new era in this community. This was the first church festival ever held in this part of the country. The only gatherings that had been held in the neighborhoods were quilting, huskings, and house raising bees. These reached only those who were already intimate with each other; then benefited only those for whom the bees were held, and while they were enjoyed thoroughly by all partaking, still it was no recreation or rest for those helping. It meant a heavy meal to be prepared with plenty of dishes to wash up afterwards. It mean hard work before and after the hearty meal. The quilting and husking bees have so often been described that it isn’t necessary here, but at the end of a husking bee, the giver had a barn of husked cord and everyone else had sore hands and backs. At the end of a quilting bee the ladies were almost as badly off, for there’s no fun in bending over a quilting frame hour after hour, taking tiny stitches, no matter how entertaining the company is. The festival, however, called together all the members of the church. It was the beginning of the welding together of the various neighborhoods into one community with one aim and one purpose. Therefore, it was the beginning of progress in a countryside that had remained almost dormant since the war. The festival called for no labor on the part of the participants. Everyone was willing to pay little money for something out of the ordinary, something to talk about. Besides the money they spent was to be re-spent for something they all would get the benefit of, something they all could enjoy. This festival was a lawn party and was held at Uncle Steven Haselden’s. He had several girls and boys near the age of your Aunt Maggie. But this wasn’t just a frolic for the young people. Everybody, young and old went. The women carried their babies. Page | 62 �Most of them came in wagons and as it was very warm the babies were made comfortable on the hay with a quilt spread over it. Uncle Steven’s house was just across the road from where the parsonage now stands in Johnsonville. Close to it was a large turpentine still. The skimmings from the crude sap were thrown out in a great heap and when it cooled this dross was as hard as a rock, and burned like the fattest lightwood. There were large piles of dross and good sized lumps of it were knocked off, placed upon scaffolds about waist high and then set ablaze. This gave the brightness of daylight to the scene. Inside the house in the dining room a regular hot supper was served, turkey and barbecue with all its fixings, at 50 cents a plate. There was nothing stingy about those plates full, either. Outside in the lights 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 this community and was considered a great treat. The ice was shipped up Black Mingo from Georgetown to the bridge 12 miles from Johnsonville. It was brought from the bridge on a wagon, half a days trip at least, so of a hundred pounds of ice there wasn’t too much left. 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 50 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 frozen through. At intervals, the cans had to be opened and the frozen cream around the sides scraped off and the whole stirred so it would freeze through and through. Two cakes were raffled off at the festival and Miss Core Huggins bore them both home. There were games and entertainments for all that night, but the chief interest aside from the supper itself was the crowning of the queen of the festival. Old Johnsonville Church had never had an organ and some of the enterprising young members had decided they must have one. Hence, the church festival. They made enough that night to get the organ, the same organ that still serves us every Sunday. Page | 63 �The September night had been warm when the crowd gathered at dusk, but it few colder and colder. Many were without wraps, but preferred to shiver rather than to leave. Around the big lights were the most popular spots, though. There was a killing frost before daylight. Page | 64 The Atlantic Coast Corporation had been very recently organized at this time. Some of the Johnsonville boys who were working with the company came home for the occasion. That company was and is important in the development of our section of the country. There were some far-sighted men at the head of that company. The country was heavily timbered. Most of the trees were virgin pines. Much of it had been tapped and boxed when the woods were worked for turpentine, but the scars were not very deep nor very high up. The heads of the company could see the immense value locked up in these swamps and forests, but methods of transportation were lacking. The nearest railroad was 25 miles away. They took a risk and richly did they profit by it. They sent representatives throughout the country and bought the timber rights on every piece of time land they possibly could. The contract gave the owner the right to use all the time and wood he needed for his personal use, but he must not cut it for commercial purposes. The contract also retained the right for the company to cut the timber anytime during the next 20 years. They owners sold their timber rights for a mere nominal sum, although it looked like good money then as it was paid in cash on the signing of the contract. The Coast Company did not start operations on this timber until about two years before the time was out. They worked it over during the war and the years immediately succeeding it when the value of the time was at its highest point. They carried out thousands of dollars worth of good time off these lands. Chapter 16 Life after they finally settled down in their own home was good to your grandmother, but as she had endured and grown under the hardships of the first years of marriage, now she stood prosperity with dignity. �Twice a year now they went shopping in Charleston. Your grandfather always went, and whenever she could, your grandmother went, too. Often one of the children accompanied them. They would leave home after dinner, spend the night in Lake City, and take the train next morning for Charleston. They stayed at the National House on King Street until it went out of business, then they always stayed at the Mosely House. These were great trips and were eagerly anticipated. They generally remained at least a week. Your grandfather bought barrels of flour, rice, and sugar, and great cans of coffee. He had them shipped up by boat to Smith’s Mill. He kept these groceries on hand and paid his laborers off with groceries instead of cash. All their dry goods were bought on these trips, bolts of homespun and bleach and quantities of dress goods. T5he medicine chest was replenished at least once a year: castor oil; salts; liver medicine; fever tonics; quinine; paregoric, and laudanum, and Sloan’s Liniment. Laudanum and paregoric were the only relief they could obtain from pain and a large supply of them was kept on hand. Most of the liniments and salves were made at home. The salves, and liniments as well, were made most of tallow, turpentine, and kerosene. Your grandfather had that large tool chest in the barn made and filled it with over a hundred dollars worth of carpenter tools. He had quite a mechanical turn hi8mself and although he didn’t follow that trade at all, he like to have the tools handy for any little job he might undertake. People borrowed them right and left. He never could refuse to lend and it wasn’t long before his tool box was nearly empty. On every trip to Lake City they stayed at the Sturgeon House. Mrs. Sturgeon was a personal friend and she also did most of your grandmother’s sewing, and your Aunt Maggie’s, as well, as she grew up. It seems a long distance to go to have a dress made, but women didn’t have the dresses they do now. One dress in the spring and another in the fall was what the majority of them had. Of course, they had house dresses, but these were usually of a dark material and made for wear and not for looks. An apron was always worn, a gingham apron when there was work to be done, but it was laid aside for a white one when work was over. Page | 65 �Circuses and carnivals were frequent in those days and not one came to Lake City that your grandfather took everything on the place large enough to go. He never outgrew his fondness for seeing the children enjoy themselves. They’d go to town very early in the morning, leaving the house before dawn and get there in time to see the parade. He’d stand with the smallest on his shoulders and the others close around. Anyone seeing him would have declared he was the biggest boy of them all. He took them to see the afternoon and night performances, spent the night at the Sturgeon Hotel and drove home next morning. At the time of the World’s Fair in Chicago, he persuaded your grandmother to go with him. Fitzhugh was the baby. Mary Ard was there; and a neighbor woman and her husband, who frequently took charge of things on their trips to Charleston, were to stay at the house and look after things for them. Your grandmother want to go and finally let them persuade her that the children would be all right. Clothes were bought and made, suitcases packed and your grandmother, with many misgivings, put on her new dress. It was so far from the baby. What if something happened? She told them all goodbye, lingered a little over the baby and started to the buggy, then turned. “You go on, Tay. I just can’t leave the baby. He might get sick. I wouldn’t have an easy minute.” In spite of the remonstrances and pleas, she remained firm. She tried to get her husband to go on without her, but he refused saying it wouldn’t be any fun alone, doing the things they had planned to do together. So they both stayed. When the Exposition was in Charleston, however, she went and enjoyed the fair with a clear conscience. The older children were all of an age when they could go, too, and appreciate it. There were five older children and the two babies, Lean and Rupert, by that time. Your Aunt Maggie had two babies of her own by that time, so she kept the small children and let your grandmother with two of the large boys go. Later your grandmother kept the babies so your Aunt Maggie could go. Your grandfather’s brothers and their wives were constantly in and out of his home. He loved to have them come and so did your grandmother. The nieces and Page | 66 �nephews on both sides of the house enjoyed coming and often stayed weeks at a time, even after your Aunt Maggie was married. Nearly every weekend some of his brothers or her sisters came on Saturday and stayed until late Sunday or early Monday. Sunday there was always a great crown there Page | 67 to eat dinner and supper, so Saturday as an extra busy day. Such cooking up as there was ‘Twould make your mouth water to even hear of it; pies, cakes, hams, chickens or turkeys, large enough so they generally had one, or two for special occasions, for every Sunday from early fall until spring. Your grandfather always tended to the chickens, turkeys and the like Following an old turkey hen to her nest was great sport to him. One time he set a turkey on 14 eggs and she hatched 15 little pullets! He never could account for the extra turkey, but supposed the hen had laid another egg after he had shut her up to set. Next to tracking a turkey to her nest, he liked to hunt for the guineas’ nest. It was no rare sight to see him come in with 60 or 70 eggs at a time when he had found where the guineas had made their nests. Then, besides the baking and cooking on Saturday, the house must be thoroughly cleaned, for there was no telling who’d be there the next day. The dining room, kitchen and back porch must be scrubbed, the yards must be swept and the children must have an extra bath. It is a wonder that your grandmother survived Saturdays. Chapter 17 The next day at church they lingered in the church yard until they had spoken to everyone and shaken every hand. No one was in a hurry to leave. It was the only social outlet most of them enjoyed and they made the most of it. Invariably at parting the invitation was given, “Drive by the house and take dinner.” Sometimes the answer was, “I can’t go today. You come go with me.” Or else it was, “I don’t mind if I do. I haven’t been to see you in quite a spell.” No matter how many accepted her invitation it didn’t bother your grandmother for she had plenty cooked and to spare. She took great pride in her reputation of setting a good table at all times. �The parsonage was at Rome, nine miles away and the pastor served four churches. Rome and Good Hope twice a month and Muddy Creek and Old Johnsonville twice. When it was preaching Sunday at Old Johnsonville, they all wet there, but on other Sundays they went to Muddy Creek or to Prospect. They were duty bound to go to church somewhere. There were a few buggies to come to church but very few. When the family was ready to go to church the wagon was brought out; chairs were placed in it for the grown-ups and clean fresh hay put in for the children to ride on. Oxcarts were numerous and those who drove them were as highly thought of as any of the others. Cousin Robert Cox had a big double seated phaeton, built much like a stage coach. On Sundays a pair of mules were hitched to it and the family went in style. Your grandfather bought his first horse after they had built their new homes and always kept a fine horse after that. He had several nice horses before the bought old Buffalo. He wasn’t old Buffalo then, but a young fiery horse. Your grandfather drove him generally hitched to a road cart. Your grandmother preferred the older, steadier horse when she drove off. Buffalo was a member of the family until he was of ripe old age and everyone had forgotten that he had ever been dangerous to drive. The day before preaching services were held at Old Johnsonville the pastor came from Rome and stayed with your grandmother. He was sure of a hearty welcome, plenty to eat and good company. Sometimes he spent a week visiting among his old Johnsonville congregation. Then your grandmother’s home was his headquarters. They liked all the preachers, but Preacher Baker was so constantly in their home they could hardly help being especially fond of him. The children all called him Uncle Baker. The guest room was called Uncle Baker’s room, and the bed in it was Uncle Baker’s bed. He told your grandfather and Cousin Charlie one day, “You boys are always going fishing. I want to go next time. But mind now, Tay, I hear you two often carry a bottle along with you. You leave it at home when I go, you hear?” Page | 68 �They set a time and on the day appointed the three went fishing. Cousin Charlie had a flat pocket flask which he filled with cold coffee. It could have been mistaken for grape or berry wine from the color. After they had fished for a while Uncle Baker said, “My, I’m thirsty.” Cousin Charlie’s flask was produced on the spot, “Have a drink, then.” The offer was indignantly refused so Cousin Charlie poured out some and drank it off, then offered the flask to your grandfather, “Have a drink, Tay.” “I don’t mind if I do,” and when he’d drained his first cup your grandfather calmly poured another. “Taylor Eaddy, don’t you take another drop. You’ll be turning us all over,” said Uncle Baker. But your grandfather said, “Oh, I can stand a lot of this,” and he drank the second cup. There was an explosive silence for a short space, then Uncle Baker broke out, pointing to the hill. “Take me back this instant. Put me back on shore. I wouldn’t stay here with you another minute.” They thought they’d carried the joke far enough so began to explain. It took a great deal of explanation and he had to smell the contents of the flask before he’d believe them, but when he was convinced, he took the joke good naturedly and enjoyed the fun. The salesmen, agents, and travelers all stopped at Taylor Eaddy’s overnight when they were working out this way. His hospitality was known far and wide and his wife enjoyed the company as much as he did. During campaign speakings the candidates all stayed there. In the summertime often the children had to give up their rooms to the visitors and sleep in a pallet on the floor of their mother’s room. Not one cent did they ever take from anyone passing the night there. The guests and their horses were given supper and breakfast, and sent on their way rejoicing. Some men from Tennessee selling lightning rods made their headquarters there. As they were there from May until November, they paid board. There were eight men in and out and they kept six or eight horses. When they left their board bill was only $75. The men selling Home Comfort ranges came by in a spring wagon with a range in the back of it. They demonstrated the unbreakable-ness of it by throwing the caps down on the floor with force. The oven door was let down and a horse led up. The Page | 69 �demonstration placed the horse’s front feet on this door to show its strength. With these stoves came a kettle, a pot, and a copper frying pay, as well as a large sized baking pan. Your grandmother bought one which certainly served her faithfully for many years. In fact, the inside of the old copper reservoir is still here in daily use. They Page | 70 cost then $175 and were paid for in installments. A great many of them were sold. One day when the presiding elder was taking dinner with them there was quite an accident. There were several other guest present that day, Uncle Sam Huggins among them. Uncle Sam was sitting about the middle of the table on one side and was talking away at a great rate, arguing some question with the presiding elder. Just as he thumped on the table with his fist to emphasize his point, the table bent and gave way right in the middle. All the dishes slid downwards while the gravy spilled into everything. After the excitement subsided, the diner roared with laughter and teased Uncle Sam about knocking down the table. It was an extension table, but after this incident, it ceased to be extendable for your grandfather nailed good stout boards to each side so there’d be no more catastrophes. That table is still in daily use at your grandmother’s today. Plodding down the road at fairly regular intervals one was apt to see a darkskinned man with a large pack on his back. He was the peddler, a well-known visitor to every home. In that pack was everything from notions to dress goods. Combs, mirrors, mouth organs, beads, laces, gloves, knives, hose, gingham, and silk goods all were displayed when that pack was spread open. Children crowded around to see, crying with their elders in ‘ohing and ahing’ [sic] at his stock. The male portion of the family pretended to be above such childishness, but he kept a keen eye out for all that. When Mary wanted a strong of beads or Johnny the knife his hands were quick to come out of his pocket with the necessary change. Not quite so quick was he at all times when the wife eyed some piece of finery longingly and then looked at him questioningly. The peddler was a shrewd fellow and when he saw that the housewife had set her mind on a certain thing, he usually talked at the man, cutting his price and extolling the quality of this wonderful bargain. Seldom did he miss making a sale. Most of the peddlers were Italians. The majority of them followed a certain route, penetrating into the most �remote habitations. They knew by-ways and paths that very few ever traveled. Occasionally, a new peddler made his appearance. Besides the peddler with notions and dry goods, there was a tin peddler. He could be heard as soon as he was seen. Some of these used a little cart or covered van; Page | 71 some came on horseback with their goods hung in packs on each side of the saddle. Still others walked with their packs on their backs. Not only did they have new pots and pans to sell, but they carried their solder and soldering iron with them. Many a hole did they mend in the vessels the women brought out to them. At times there could be seen a queer sight approaching down the road. As the objects drew nearer it could be seen that they were a brown bear led by a man with dark skin and hair and flashing white teeth. The bear was usually muzzled, but he was made to look as fierce as possible. The advent of these comers drew young and old. The bear had a few tricks to perform and he took up a collection. Nearly everyone gave a few pennies. They had enjoyed the few minutes of fun and of something out of the ordinary. They all felt a sense of pity for this man without a home. They might have but little, but this man had less. He and his bear generally spent the night in the open, if the weather was rough, he sometimes received permission to sleep in an outhouse or barn. These foreigners, unlike the peddlers who seemed of a superior class, were usually dirty and uninviting looking. They were so unprepossessing in their appearance that all were glad when they moved on although they had enjoyed the sight of the bear. Another welcome visitor was the man with the hand organ and the monkey. The monkey with his red can and little red coat created more interest than anything that ever went through this country. The children and grown-ups liked the tunes played on the hand organ and they especially liked the monkey. Chapter 18 Johnsonville, where your grandmother first lived, was named for her mother’s family. Their first, and for a long time the only, post office in this section was in Johnsonville. All the families in that community attended church at Old Johnsonville. �At the beginning of this century in Johnsonville proper, S. B. Poston had a good general mercantile business. Besides being a shopping center for that district, he “ran” the farmers, as it was called. He took a lien on their next year’s crop and then supplied them with fertilizers, dry goods and groceries. At Lambert’s, W. C. Hemingway and Company were doing the same thing. Beyond Johnsonville there was a large establishment at the Half Moon; while on the other side of Lambert, D. F. Rhem had the largest business of all. Nothing but a country store, but it reached the farmers and laborers for miles in every direction. Smith’s Mill, on the Pee Dee about 12 miles from Old Johnsonville, was a large lumber mill. There were a score or more of houses for the mill hands; several nice houses for the manager, overseers, and bookkeeper, and the Smith home itself, which was almost palatial. There was a large commissary, of course, connected with the mill. Each of the above named places was just a post office and a large general store with a small number of dwellings around the store. The post office was always located in the store and the storekeeper was generally, but not invariably, the postmaster, as well. The nearest town was Lake City, and it was little more than a village. There was no close market for the produce raised by the farmers. All the cotton had to be shipped by boat to Georgetown and sold there; some few raised rice for a while, but that soon played out. A couple of maiden ladies raised a large flock of turkeys and you’d never guess how they got those turkeys to market. The turkeys were as tame as could be, so there was no difficulty in driving them, but I think most people would hesitate to drive a flock of 20 or 30 turkeys 40 miles to the market in Georgetown. But, that is what those ladies did each fall, and probably got quite a kick out of the adventure. The ladies drove the buggy with the turkeys in front of them. At night they stopped near a house. The turkeys roosted in the trees, while the ladies themselves had no trouble finding lodging for the night. In the day time they took it along very slowly so the turkeys would be in good shape when they reached market. It took them over a week to get to Georgetown and they and two ferries to cross. I don’t know how they managed to get the turkeys across on the ferry, but managed they did. Page | 72 �These post office had been developed from the lengthening and branching out of the bi-weekly route from Lake City to Johnsonville. The mail now came every day. One carrier had the contract for the distance he could conveniently go and return in a day. Where he stopped another carrier began so that numerous post offices had sprung up the beginning of this century. Except for the development of the post offices and large general stores the country had remained almost dormant since the close of the war. So far from the railroad were the people here that the outside world had little meaning for the majority of them. There were a few who took the daily paper and the news was a day old when it got there; there were a few who went off to school, but the large majority of the people only attended the three months school long enough to learn to write their names and to read with an effort. “Me and my wife and my son, John, and his wife” was their immediate interest. To raise enough food to feed the large family of children most of them had was their sole thought and anxiety. In the early years of 1900’s, N. H. Venters ran out a route and took the contract to carry the mail from Lake City to the Cross Roads and so the Venters post office was established. Many other little offices sprang up too at this time. One of these was Chapman, right near where your Uncle Fred and Aunt Maggie were living, half way between the Cross Roads and Smith’s Mill. For several years now there had been a doctor living in Johnsonville, later there were two of them and though they kept changing there was always at least one good doctor there. About the time the post office at Venters was established by Dr. Hemingway, and a little later Dr. Baker settled in Lamberts, where Dr. Hemingway’s father had a large store. Dr. Hemingway very soon began discussing the possibility of founding a graded school. He was ably supported by several of the men in the community, but especially was he backed by Mr. S. B. Poston on Johnsonville and Mr. Jeff Rollins of the Venters neighborhood. It wasn’t long before they had everyone enthusiastic on the subject, except a few who declared that a graded school such as they wanted would raise their taxes until they’d be unbearable. Through Dr. Hemingway’s effort the district was run Page | 73 �out and the election arranged for. He managed and pushed everything through. He was a popular young doctor with a persuasive tongue; he had nothing to gain personally by his efforts and he had his way with the people. His plans were successful and as the Cross Roads was a central point and the church was already there, it was natural for the school to follow. In the rural districts one generally finds the schoolhouse beside the church. The church is built first and the schoolhouse comes after, just as sure as sunshine follows rain. The schoolhouse was built on the church grounds, land given years before the church by Mr. Ard. The post office at Venters was in Blane’s store. This store was a two storied building on the corner opposite Mr. Cox’s store. The top floor of this was partitioned off and the new school with three teachers started to work in the fall of 1902. The principal and his assistants had a job on their hands; to classify and grade those children. Some were reading sixth and seventh grade readers and were still learning their multiplication tables; some were working fractions and still using primary readers; some were advanced in geography and knew nothing about history and vice versa. The teachers attempted to grade them as far as possible in six grades. Dr. Hemingway, Mr. Rollins and Mr. Poston were made trustees and they served in this capacity as long as Old Johnsonville was the center of the community, some 13 or 14 years. Miss Cora Huggins was one of the teachers. She was a college graduate and was well fitted for her work. She was a home girl and took an even greater interest in the school than did the other teachers. During that first year through her efforts the teachers worked up and presented three entertainments, which needed her enough to buy a piano for the school. It might be slander to say so, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t the same old piano we have at the schoolhouse now. It sounds as if it were that old and it certainly looks battle scarred enough. While the school was being run as best the teachers could under the circumstances the plans for the new building were being pushed as fast as possible. The land cost nothing as it was church property on which it was built. Money for the building itself was raised largely by subscriptions. Many who had no money gave their Page | 74 �work, and so the Old Johnsonville School was built. Money for the equipment was raised mainly from entertainments and hot suppers. For three years the school was taught in the old Blane store, and then they moved into the new building. The second year there were plenty of pupils for four teachers, but they lacked space, so the three teachers did the best they could. The first year in the modern two-storied building four teachers were engaged and the school grew apace. Its first class of seven graduated in 1907 from the 10th grade. A great commencement celebrated this event. There were three nights of it; one night the primary grades had their exercise, a most elaborate cantata; the next night the upper grades had their innings. Sunday was a big day with the baccalaureate sermon preached by as big a man as they get for the occasion; and the commencement wound up with the graduating exercise on Monday night. Your father and Uncle Fitzhugh attended very irregularly. They were big boys by now and could do much on the farm. But your Aunt Leah and Aunt Sadie attended whenever the weather permitted. They had a three mile walk and often it wasn’t feasible for them to go. Besides the commencements, which were of course free, at least two entertainments were given a year. Sometimes the cast was drawn from the student body. Again it was the teachers and young folks of the community that gave the play. Many of the actors showed unexpected ability and were great favorites with their audience. An entertainment to which we can scarcely get an attendance today when it is free brought out people within a 12 miles radius. Entertainments then drew crowds from far and near. An oyster supper in the fall, a hot supper in the winter, and an ice cream supper in the spring always followed the entertainment. And how the money did roll in! The boys and young men especially bought until their last cent was none. Men with families were not far behind them. At one hot supper, the supper was sold in one room and a smaller one fitted up with a counter built around the store. Here hot chocolate and homemade candy was sold. The teachers had labored for a week before hand in the afternoons after school Page | 75 �hours to make plenty of candy. As it was in the late fall, the room was profusely decorated with autumn leaves, gold rod and asters. The candy and hot chocolate sold out like magic and soon nothing was left but the decorations; still the young bloods were jingling their money, anxious to spend it. So the enterprising young teacher began Page | 76 selling bouquets from the decorations at 50 cents a pierce and gathered in $5 in just a few minutes. When the principal reprimanded her for taking their money for nothing, she defended herself by saying, “It was for a good cause. And besides, if they hadn’t spent it here, they’d spend it foolishly somewhere else.” At these entertainments cakes were auctioned or raffled off. The raffles were frowned upon by many of the strict church members, but it brought in so much money that the custom persisted. Votes were sold at five cents each. A boy picked out the girl he wanted to have the cake and after buying as many votes as he could himself, he went around soliciting votes from his friends. The contest between the voters for two or three girls would be hot and heavy sometimes. The girl who received the most votes proudly carried the cake home with her. It was always a thing of beauty to look at as well as a joy to eat. Often a cake brought in an incredible sum. Your grandmother baked one at one time that brought in $70. The amount received for the cakes was always clear gain, for the cakes were always given by one of the patrons of the school. Indeed it was considered a great honor to be asked to make a cake to be raffled off. Box suppers were another sure way of clearing up a tidy sum for the school. Every young lady and girl, and the older ladies too, when they felt inclined, fixed up a box of dainties, put her name on the inside, then decorated the outside with as much taste as she possessed. Those boxes were auctioned off to the highest bidder; then the owner of the box ate supper with the buyer. If a swain had a suspicion of which was his best girl’s box, he’d run the bid up until he got it. And just as surely as the other boys saw he was bent on getting that particular box, they’d begin to bid against him. That would get his “dander” up. He was determined no one else should have her box and eat supper with her while he looked on from afar. Often a box brought in $10 of $15, a high price for supper I’d call that. �The general stores here and at Lake City carried practically no luxuries. Their stock consisted of necessities. A few boxes of stick candy was kept on hand for any who might be feeble minded enough to buy it. It was not as a rule kept on display but back on a shelf out of the way. So when people’s simple needs were filled there was little urge to spend their money. These school and church entertainments were about their only form of indulgence. And in better changes and equipment for their children, they received in full the value of the money so spent. Chapter 19 The graded school was the greatest factor in welding the isolated neighborhoods into an enterprising community. The daily mail at the local post office was another. For even the men who did not subscribe to a daily paper went to the post office at mail time and heard the news or at least the headlines, read and discussed. And so an interest was being awakened as to what was going on in the world at large. The telephone came through here about the same time the school started. Mr. Poston at the Half Moon had a line run to his store from Lake City. There was only one telephone in Lake City then, at Sturgeon’s store. From the Half Moon a party line of 12 ran out, which went by devious ways from one to another of the 12 houses or stores on the line. When the phone rang, the receiver at all 12 stations went down and the news told over it reached half the countryside in a few hours. The telephone was a great satisfaction to your grandmother and grandfather. Your Aunt Maggie lived at Chapman’s post office about six miles from home. She and your Uncle Fred went to her home every Sunday morning and stayed there until late that night or the next morning. But her health wasn’t good and the telephone kept them in constant touch with her. Your grandfather couldn’t go more than two or three days without seeing her. About the middle of the week, he’d hitch up old Buffalo, pick up his babies, and say, “Got to go see Maggie. Haven’t seen her since Sunday.” As the grandbabies came along, he was foolishly proud and fond of them. His youngest son and his second grandson were almost the same age and took great Page | 77 �delight in his three fine boys. Your father has so often said when you all were small, “How pa would have loved these babies, if he had lived.” The low country was for years and years considered very unhealthy. In fact, our earliest historians all make that statement in their histories. The drinking water available Page | 78 was one of the chief causes of this belief, the amount of swamp land was another. The dwellers of the upcountry considered it as certain death to visit the low country in the summer or fall. The drinking water, if the weather was all rainy, was not pure and was likely to cause diseases of one kind or another. About the time the people in the community were awakening to other facts the artesian wells were brought to their attention. With all the enthusiasm with which they welcomed anything new, they began to dig artesian wells. One was put down at the church to replace the old well, which kept caving in, or at least it had until they put a big Cypress Baum curbing in it. The well at the church now has the finest flow of any well around here and everyone passing stoops at the Old Johnsonville well for a cool drink. Over 300 feet deep, no matter how dry a spell we have the flow is just as strong. Everyone who could afford to have one bored out in an artesian well and so the problem of drinking imputer water was solved. The wells cost about 50 cents a foot to bore; the average well is 300 feet, so it cost around $150 to have one put in. The Cross Roads was beginning to be civilized as compared to the turbulent days after the war when it was known as Buzzard’s Roost, when a decent man, let alone a woman, wouldn’t be seen around there in the week, when on Saturday it was the resort of all the worst characters, when drinking and gambling were the rules and there was even an occasional shooting to add to its back reputation. It had lost much of its ill repute before the school was established; in fact, it began to improve soon after the church was built. A whiskey shop doesn’t thrive close to a church. On Saturday afternoon and night it was still rather wild at times. But that was so wherever there was a general store and post office. Men, coming to the store to buy their week’s supplies were sure to go by the whiskey shop. If they didn’t buy the whiskey sold by permission of the government there was plenty of “white mule” sold on the sly. Saturday was one day when no self-respecting woman put her foot into a store �nor was she seen on the road unless accompanied by someone capable of protecting her from insults from the drinking rowdies she was apt to meet anywhere. This was not only true at the country stores, but at every small town and village. Your Uncle Bub put up a large mercantile business at the Cross Roads soon after Page | 79 the school started. His first store was the building now used as a dwelling close to the railroad. But he soon outgrew it and built a larger one on the corner where the Gasters now have their home. This rapidly developed into a profitable business. He ran the famers as did the other merchants. The farmers planted cotton entirely as a money crop for years. Rice had never been a very profitable crop this high up. The large rice plantations were farther south, closer to the coast. The farmers went into debt each spring for fertilizers and supplies. In the fall, they were forced to sell their cotton to pay the merchant, no matter what cotton was selling for. Their debts and rents, if they rented, or taxes if they didn’t, usually took all their money. But they had plenty of food to carry them through the winter. Tobacco planting was introduced into this section about this time. It had been planted successfully over the river for several years and now farmers turned to it as an additional money crop. At first only the big farmers could plant it. They hired men who had worked at it in Virginia and Kentucky to direct the planting, cultivating, gathering, and curing. This made it too expensive for the small farmer. As they became more familiar with it, and the treatment of it, they began to plant small patches round about to try it out. It soon became the leading money crop. All the work on the tobacco crop, except for a few days in the spring when the plants are set out, is done in the summer months during vacation. This fact has helped the children in getting to school, for the cotton planters could never let the children come to school in the fall until all the cotton was picked. The church circuit was changed also about the time the school was built. The pastor on this charge was given the four churches of Good Hope, Muddy Creek, Old Johnsonville and Prospect. The parsonage was built close to Old Johnsonville Church. It �stood almost where Mr. Brown’s residence now stands. The land for the house and garden was given by Mr. Venters. Money for the parsonage was raised mainly by the ladies of the church, who gave festivals, suppers, sold candy and cakes, and held raffles. Some money was raised Page | 80 by subscription. The lumber was donated. Many gave their work and just before it was conference time as the parsonage was still uncompleted the whole community turned out. The men went to the parsonage early in the morning with their tools and started to work. The women followed later with the children and the dinner. And they spent the day for after dinner the women cleaned up while the mend put on the finishing touches. The first preacher to live in the new parsonage was Preacher Owings. He was a widower and Ms. Nannie was then a widow, so … The first time they came to your grandmother’s after they married, Miss Nannie put both arms around your father and Uncle Fitzhugh, who were great boys then, and kissed them. Mr. Owings shook his head over such proceedings and told the boys they’d have to be careful whom they kissed hereafter. He didn’t allow such good looking boys to kiss his wife. That good man and his wife died just last summer. In 1095 your father was taken very ill. Dr. Hemingway pronounced it appendicitis and said he must be carried to John Hopkins immediately. Your grandfather sold a piece of land to get the money to defray expenses. He generally had plenty of hand for everyday use. But this was quite an undertaking and cost more than he could put his hand son without selling his land. Public opinion was very much against any such proceeding as an operation. They thought it was flying in the face of God to allow one’s self to be cut open. No one in this whole section had every had an operation and most of the people took “No stock in such doings.” Your grandfather was advised on all sides not to do it, but he had faith in Dr. Hemingway, so off they set. He stayed in Baltimore with your father the two weeks he was kept there. Quite a delegation met them in Lake City on their return and a regular reception was held when they reached home. He was regarded almost as one who comes from the dead. And the wonder was still greater when the day after his return, he went to work and pitched hay all day. �Chapter 20 In 1907 your grandfather had a stroke which laid him up for some time, but he recovered and seemed as well as ever. He even walked to Snow’s Lake on more than one occasion, a distance of nine or ten miles. He had high blood pressure and if the doctors had known then what they do now about treating it, no doubt he’d lived to a ripe old age. As it was, only a year later he had another and fatal stoke. He was only 58. Your Uncle Bub was staying at the Cross Roads, your father and Uncle Fitzhugh were both working away from home so that left only the three younger children at home with your grandmother. She couldn’t manage the large farm nor stay there alone. Besides, the school was such a distance away. One of the mortgages she had bought in when her father died was over the Grier home at the Cross Roads. This she had not sold when she let her other mortgages go. Now it was decided best for her to leave her old home and move to Stony Run, as the place was known. The house was worked over, the walls papered, and the chimneys rebuilt before they moved in. the old place was rented out, as was the farm land at Stony Run. For 21 years she had lived at the old place and her life had become firmly rooted there. It was hard to leave. The fruit trees had all been put out since they moved there and most of the shade trees, as well. She knew her neighbors as she did herself and they were neighbors in the truest sense. The house had been built for her. The furniture had grown to a part of the house. They’d look and feel strange anywhere else. The deer antlers that hung on the front porch to serve as a hat rack belonged there. Your grandfather had killed the deer and hung the horns up himself long before. Above the big old wardrobe was the rack where his gun had stayed, time out of mind. The rack is still there and the shadow that the gun left on the wall. Here her babies had been born; here she had lost one little son; here her eldest had married and gone to a home of her own. There is a saying that a house is not a home until there has been a birth, a death, and a marriage in it. So this had been her Page | 81 �home. But when a thing seemed best, your grandmother could always yield with grace. Besides it didn’t seem much like home without your grandfather. So the move was made. She rented the two horse farm for $250. That was big rent for that time, but here was every convenience there and it was fixed up much better than most farms were that were rented. She had nothing to live on now but her rent from her farms. But even when she had plenty, she was a careful spender and now she knew how to make every penny count. The first automobile seen in this country was owned by a man in Georgetown, but was used by Mr. Snow in going around and taking orders for groceries at the various country stores. It was a white Buick, and could be heard for some time before it was seen. All, both young and old, rushed to the road to see it pass. It was an interesting object of discussion: its speed; its wheel; its motor; its noise, and particularly its smell. Women were heard to declare that they never expected to put their foot in such a thing. Some of the local doctors soon indulged in one, but the old gray mare was used much more often that the shining car was. When a car was bought, a chauffeur was hired to run it. It was considered a great thing to be able to drive a car. The chauffeur was a popular hero and took advantage of his popularity. It was a common sight to see one strutting around with his cap and leggings on, followed and admired by a group of envious youth. Today, we see the aviator enacting the same role. By degrees other citizens bought cars and learned to drive them. The women equipped themselves with voluminous veils and automobile coats. The roads were narrow, rough and unabridged. If one took a trip to Lake City and returned without having to stop once or twice to fix a tire, a spring or some other vital part, it was talked of for weeks. In rainy spells, they couldn’t the used at all. The streams rose so that it was impossible to drive a car through without drowning out the engine. It wasn’t very pleasant to have to get out, pull off one’s shoes and stockings, roll u one’s trousers and push the car out of the water to dry land and then maybe not be able to get it cranked Page | 82 �for half an hour or more. A horse, in the rainy weather, was the only resort unless one walked. Gasoline was a problem, too, just at first. There were no filling stations at every corner. Can you imagine such a thing! Each car owner had to buy his drum of gasoline and have it shipped up by boat. Page | 83 Cars were a necessity in the up country long before they were at all practical here, on account of the streams having to be forded. Streams that were too large to be forded were easier to cross than the smaller ones. The larger creeks or rivers all had ferries and the automobiles could cross in these as easily as could a buggy. Smith’s Mill closed down shortly after your grandmother moved to Stoney Run. The company bankrupted and Mr. Smith, with his family and his corps of works left. The fine old house with all its nice furniture was left untenanted and was finally burned by some careless fisherman or traveler. Huge pieces of machinery were left at the mill to ruse away. The large mill with its equipment was a wonder for its day and those thousands of dollars worth of valuable machinery were never used again. Your grandmother says she has seen the great iron jaws swoop down from the second story, pick up out of the water a log ten to 20 feet long and as large around as a barrel, carry it up and place it on the skidder with movements that seemed almost human. There were saws for every purpose and of every size. Fifteen or 20 men, mostly colored, were kept on a trot stacking the lumber s the saws ripped up the logs. There isn’t much left there now. The houses have all been burned. The mill itself has rotted down. The machinery fell to the ground as its supports gave way and was buried by the debris as it crumbled up. Many of the pieces that could be detached were carried away by fishermen and others wandering around. Chapter 21 The church had begun to experience a change now. Buggies and carriages were common. The top buggy, with steel rimmed wheels, was generally used; a rubber tired buggy was the height of extravagance and the object of envy. They really caused more envy than the cars in those early days. An auto seemed totally out of reach for most �people, but a rubber tired buggy might someday be attained. An occasional wagon was still seen at church, but no ox carts. Old Johnsonville had outgrown that vehicle. The elite from Johnsonville, Lamberts and the surrounding country, came in their alike and fine dresses with new hats twice a year. The poorer people came in what they Page | 84 had with hats that lasted as long as a hat pin could hold it on their heads. One good woman with a large family wore a sky blue hat every Sunday, summer and winter for several years and never did she seem the least bit self-conscious nor was she made to feel so by any of the congregation. She had the respect of everyone. The living of these merchants, doctors, and professional people all depended on the farmers and right well did they know it. They knew which side their bread was buttered on and besides, they were well bred folk. In fact, they were not so far removed from that stage of progress themselves, but they still felt that “The Colonel’s lady and Judy O’Grady are sisters under the skin.” Every woman, elite or not, brought their babies with them. And the songs were sung and the prayers were prayed and the sermons were preached to the constant accompaniment of coos and cries and soft whisperings and the hushed footsteps of mothers or fathers or little sisters bearing out a quarrelsome youngster. The mothers all carried cookies or bread or cake in a paper and there was a rustle, rustle as Mary or Johnny leaned over and announced in a stage whisper, “I’m hungry.” But the preacher didn’t mind and the congregation didn’t mind; and young and old carried away with them the sense of having been in God’s house that is not felt today in many a proper congregation. One prominent church member one Sunday morning dressed her month old boy first and put him on the bed out of the way while she dressed her three older lively chaps for church. Dressing herself hastily, she bundled her children into the buggy and drove the three miles to church. Arriving she tied her horse and went to pick out the hymns as she was the customary organist. It was her first trip out since the new baby, so someone called out, “What did you do with you boy this morning?” The old mare made quicker time over the road than she had done in many a day. And the baby was found sleeping sweetly in the middle of the bed. �The school when built had four large classrooms. The large auditorium covered the whole of the second floor. There was a nice sized stage with dressing rooms on either side. The stairway was small and narrow with an elbow in it, squeezed into one corner so as to take up as little space as possible. A veritable firetrap, but somehow no one ever seemed to think of that. At commencements and on nights when there were entertainments, the place was packed until there wasn’t even standing room. The school grew so rapidly that soon there were six teachers and a music teacher employed. Two rooms were partitioned off from the auditorium for classrooms. The partitions were made so they could be removed for entertainments. The music teacher used the stage for her music room and both teach and pupils nearly froze when it was cold. The first grade had a room all to itself; the second and third grade were together. One teacher had the third and fourth and one the sixth and seventh. Two teachers had charge of the high school, which only ran through the tenth grade. A very inadequate school force it seems now, but a far cry from the three months one teacher school. Some great work was done. A great deal was expected of the teacher in the community, as well as in the classroom. The trustees were conscientious in their selection of a principal and his corps of teachers. The teachers, one and all, were expected to attend church regularly and a teacher who was unwilling to teach a Sunday School class need not expect to be re-elected. Teachers received $40 a month and paid $12.50 for board. They taught from nine until four with one hour for dinner, and always attended church on Sunday. The day began with chapel exercises, which were not a mere matter of form. The first three grades had their songs. The Scripture lesson was ready by a principal who believed every word he read and followed by an earnest prayer. A song by the school closed the exercises and the classes all marched to their rooms. Friday afternoon was given over to the Literary Society, which had taken the place of the old time Friday speaking. Now the society was modeled on the literary societies found at college. They had their president, secretary, censor and critic. The five lower grades had their separate society, which the teachers cut as short as was possible so they could go up to the “big” society. Training the pupils on duty for the Page | 85 �next program was part of the teacher’s daily work. It was no idle jest to be on the program in the lower grades and still less so in the upper grades. A teacher felt the same keenly if one of o her pupils failed to do well. The larger society developed in time into interesting occasions. Busy men left their work and came to hear the young people debate o question of moment. These debates usually found the whole patronage of the school divided into earnest partisans for the side they favored. The debaters engaged all the brains of the community in getting up points for them, so the debates became more or less community affairs. Some notable debates were held and many of the boys who had the beginning of their training there followed that line to success. The recitations were not lack-a-daisical, half-learned pieces, but were well chosen and given with spirit by well-trained pupils. Snappy dialogs and one act comedies were popular. Everyone enjoyed the meeting the literary society and the participators enjoyed it most of all. In the fall the teachers came in on Friday or Saturday. They went to church Sunday to be inspected by the public. Monday school began. The Saturday after the first week of school, a school picnic was held. Every patron of the school came with ample baskets. Many others came also, some with and some without baskets. But there was always plenty for all. Several barbecues were prepared and rice was cooked in huge wash pots. Lemonade was made by the barrelful. Here the teachers really got in touch with the people whom they were to serve. Every spring when the shad were running the teachers were given a fish fry. Early Saturday morning the picnickers went to Snow’s Lake or to Staples Lake where the ruins of Smith’s Mill stood. Sometimes the young people coupled off and went twoby-twos in buggies, but more often a two horse wagon with plenty of hay was brought along and all the young folks piled in and went together. At the lake the men raised their nets, which had been set the evening before. The men then cleaned the fish and the ladies did the cooking. A huge pot of pine bark stew was cooked. Just why the name, pine bark stew, no one seems to know, but it is a delicious concoction of onions, tomatoes, ketchup, fish and butter. Pan after pan of the fish was fried, crisp and brown. There never was anything that smelled so inviting as those fish fried in the open to a Page | 86 �group of young people who had tired themselves down rambling around while their elders worked. And how those fish did disappear! Each fish fry was always the best they’d ever had. Some wonderful people were among the patrons of the school. Men and women who lived in common little frame houses, but once removed from the log cabins, with only the bar necessities of life, nor wanted any other so it seemed, were gifted with personalities and abilities that often made the teachers with all their advantages feel like hiding their heads in shame for not making better use of the privileges. They seemed buried or rather their talents seemed buried, but they show up today in the lives of the children they raised. In one house a teacher picked up a violin and being interested peeped inside. She was astonished to find the name “Amati” there. It had been in the family since before his birth, her host said and what she tried to tell him of its value, if it was a genuine Amati impressed him not at all. The value of it to him lay in his heritage and his enjoyment of it. Your grandmother boarded the teachers for several years though most of the times they stayed at Mrs. Cox’s and Mrs. Cockvield’s [sic]. Chapter 22 In the year of 1911 the Seaboard Airline Railway Company projected a railroad from Mullins to Andrews, which was to run directly through the heart of this section. The school and church being located at the Cross Roads, it was considered as the logical place for the depot and consequently for the town. If the people from Johnsonville and Lamberts had all come together at a central point, a thriving little town would have developed with the best minds in the whole country behind it. But that wasn’t what happened. Most of the land at the Cross Roads belonged to five people. N. M. Venters owned the bulk of it. His property was involved in a lawsuit and he could not give clear titles to any of it. L. L. Ard owned a good deal, but it was all entailed property. He was trying to arrange to have the entail removed, but it was a long and costly procedure. Page | 87 �Mrs. H. M. Cox, sister of Mr. Ard, had the place she still has and your grandmother and Uncle Bub owned the majority of the remainder. As things were so tied up here, Mr. Poston, who held titles to or mortgages on most of the property at Johnsonville, had a town laid off and held a public auction to sell off lots. In Lamberts the same thing was done. W. C. Hemingway and Company had gained control over a large acreage there. This was divided into lots and sold, also. Free dinners were served at these auctions. A hand was brought in for the occasion. Various prizes were given, and lots sold like hot cakes. Many a back-woodsy looking old fellow who wouldn’t be suspected of having an extra dollar, unearthed from his overall pockets enough to pay for a lot, or maybe two. When the lots at Hemingway were sold and a depot assured, the name of the post office and depot was changed to Hemingway. During the building of the roadbed and the laying of the tracts everyone spent his time at the railroad. The huge steam shovels were never failing sources of interest and men stood agape as they watched it operate. The first train to pass found every station crowded with those who had come to look and see. For years after that first train, every time a train was heard, work was dropped in the house while the women threw something over their heads and ran to a place where the train could be seen. The plowmen stopped their plow and the hoe hands forgot their hoes until it had disappeared and only a faint blue line indicated its whereabouts. Even then they listened for its faraway whistle. “Thar now she’s passed the crossing. Gid-dap, Balaam.” And interest in their daily work was resumed. Teachers, who in September had bought tickets to Lake City and then made the long tiresome ride to the Cross Roads in a buggy, went in June to Hemingway where they boarded the train for Andrews where they could make any connections they wished. Stores and houses went up like magic. Hemingway’s store occupied the principal position in town. The post office was in the back of the store. Your Uncle Fred and Uncle Bub built stores and homes there and very shortly afterwards moved their families. T. G. Eaddy built a large two-story hotel directly in front of the depot. Dr. Page | 88 �Hemingway and his two brothers both had nice houses there. Now, Dr. Baker put up one. A bank was established and the cashier had to have a new house, and so the town grew apace. So busy were the two doctors with their other affairs that they gradually ceased to practice their profession and called in another doctor, who of course, had to have a home. A drug store was also put up and a pharmacist came to take charge of it. Farmers were beginning to plant more tobacco every year. Cotton seemed to have played out in this district, but the farmers had difficulty in marketing their tobacco. It had to be hauled to Lake City or to some more distant market. So plans were made to make Hemingway a great tobacco market. If the town had been located at the Cross Roads all these ventures would have thrived and prospered, but Johnsonville, only five miles away was doing just what Hemingway was doing, and soon an intense rivalry existed between the two villages. Instead of pulling together on common grounds at the Cross Roads, each worked for itself and against the other. The tobacco market opened with three warehouses running and they did a large volume of business. They did a thriving business and the little town prospered for tobacco buyers from all the big companies spent the summer here, paying board and spending money freely. The famers sold their tobacco and went around to the stores and spent it. The school and church still remained at the Cross Roads for two years after the railroad came though. Rather, it still remained to be used by the inhabitants of both small towns for they are both still in existence today. But as the towns grew they each started a school and church of their own, leaving the mother church at Old Johnsonville a little weak in moneyed members, but strong in all else. School was taught in Hemingway at first in a tobacco warehouse, while a temporary schoolhouse was hastily erected. This building was planned so it could be sold for a dwelling when a permanent school building should be erected. Church services were also held in the tobacco warehouse for a season. The population preferred to attend worship nearer home, even if not conveniently situated, to going the two miles to Old Johnsonville. Page | 89 �It was only after the establishment of a school and a church at Johnsonville that the ones at the Cross Roads became known as Old Johnsonville to distinguish it from the town of Johnsonville. It was about the same time and a little before the railroad had reached this far that a bridge was built across Lynch’s River, or the creek as it was commonly called. The driving of the piles caused much discussion and interest. The bridge itself was a narrow, one-way wooden affair with a railing on either side, not to be for one moment compared with the wide, modern bridge which displaced it several years ago. But the building of this last bridge was taken as a matter of course and excited very little comment or interest—so soon do we become used to our advantages. The spanning of the creek did away with the cumbersome old ferry, which had been run there for time out mind; and it also did away with one of the most beautiful roads in the low country. This road had wound between two tall cliffs, tall at least for this part of the country. On each side the old trees spread out until their branches almost interlaced overhead. The trees were festooned with wreaths and streamers of gray moss. The road sloped down to the ferry and when one arrived at the top one was compelled to pause and admire, even though it was an often seen view. But progress does not hold back for the picturesque so the giant trees with their hoary hair were cut down and the steam shovel bit ruthlessly into the hillside. Chapter 23 As the town grew and prospered naturally the country around changed and prospered, too. The big country store vanished for the town was too near. Having competition the merchants sold cheaper and bout new and fancier stock. As this stock increased in variety, so did the farmers’ purchases increase. The more one sees, the more one needs. Tobacco was bringing a good price, the famers raised their food at home and had money on hand most of time. Gradually and so imperceptibly that it was done before the inhabitants of the country realized it, the streams no longer had to be forded. They were all bridged. The roads were still narrow and rough and in rainy spells all but impassable. But the Page | 90 �automobile cold be used now, with fair success even in the rainy weather, at least the engine wasn’t drowned out every time a stream was crossed. The houses on the farms began to show an improvement; instead of being satisfied with a two or three room shack with no conveniences, the farmer began to try their hands on something better. After a drive into town and a look at the neat, painted houses, his neglected place didn’t look so good to him. A large brick building was put up for the school, which soon grew from the four teacher school that it was when organized in ’13 or ’14 to a 12 and later 14 teacher State High School. Courses in agriculture and domestic science were introduced. Not by the community was this school built; not by subscriptions; festivals and entertainments, nor in any way so that the patrons had a person interest in it. No lumber was donated, nor work given by those unable to give money. The district was bonded and the children educated there would have to help in later years to pay off the indebtedness. The materials were all bought and the workmen all paid a very substantial wage for their labor. In just a few years the school was running busses and gathering up the children from far and near. There were four or five busses, each covering around ten miles on its trip. One watching the busses rolling in and unloading could not but wonder where all those children came from Looked as if they might have been growing on bushes there were so many of them. Dr. Hemingway gave the lot for both the school and the church. A nice church was built in time and a baby pipe organ bought and installed. May efforts had been made to get the women of Old Johnsonville church together to organize a Ladies’ Aid or a Missionary Society, but the membership was widely scattered. The ladies could rarely get the horse just when they needed it and it was too far for all but a few to walk, so all the efforts failed. But soon after the church got to going strong in Hemingway a society was organized which grew and flourished and is flourishing. Even after times grew hard the Missionary Society never failed to pay all they promised. If the money couldn’t be collected directly from the members it was raised in some other way. Page | 91 �Very recently the ladies went to a great deal of trouble and got up a minstrel which netted them a very decent sum and paid them out of debt. And then what did the good men do but say they thought the ladies should give them a good portion of it to pay off a church debt. But the ladies reply was, “If you need money, get out and get Page | 92 it for yourselves. Don’t sit down and wait until we make something and then want to spend if for us.” And they held tight to what they made. Very soon after Hemingway was made a town the post office was moved into a building to itself. A rural route was run off, this proved to be such a necessity that by degrees three other routes were added. These served over 200 miles of road, bad roads, too. A carrier’s job was not very desirable then. The pay was poor, the roads were rough, and the cars were all more or less dilapidated. It was a common thing for a carrier to leave his car and walk in with his mail. Later when the roads were better, the carriers well paid and cars cheaper there was a scramble for every vacancy. In the first years the carrier was rather looked down on; was considered not quite so good as the farmer or merchant. Anyone could work for the government was the general opinion of that time. Buy my, how completely general opinion did change. Many people who lived far out in the country moved into town so as to be close to the school and the church. It was easy to find work to do. Odd jobs could be picked up at any time by anyone wanting to work, so there was no danger of anyone going hungry. Most of those who moved in had farms which they sharecropped or rented out. In fact, all the merchants and other inhabitants of town had their farms, which they saw after diligently as they did their other business. They were all raised on the farm; farming was the backbone of the country and they all loved it. Soon every house in Hemingway was full and owners of lots began to put up more houses to rent. Since your Aunt Maggie and Uncle Bub were both living in Hemingway your grandmother had her little home built there where she’d be close to them. So she made another home and there she has lived nearly 20 years, although it doesn’t seem so long. A good local telephone system was installed and everyone in town had a telephone. The line was run out Johnsonville and everyone on the road between the �two places had a phone put in. In a few homes along that road you will still see on the wall just inside the door the big, cumbersome, old telephone box. Whether the people there think it is an ornament or whether they are just too lazy to take it down, I haven’t even an idea. During the war Hemingway and the surrounding country did its part; bought Liberty Loans; sent her boys overseas; had her wheat-less, meatless, and sugarless days with the rest of the nation, and grew rich off the fat of the land as did the rest of the world. Roads were improved in all directions. And now everybody had a car, Negro and Bucro [sic]. All the women wore silk hose and silk dresses. Everybody made money and everybody spent what he made. No longer was this on the outskirts of nowhere. Even the small farmer thought nothing of cranking up his closed car and going to Charleston or Columbia for a day’s shopping. The mail order catalog brought the latest styles for their inspection. No longer could a country cracker be told by her clothes. A few years before they styles and fashions in the country were always a year behind time, but not now. Country folks are as up-to-date as their city cousins. So affluent were the people and such prices were brought by farm produce that Hemingway thought it could support another bank. It did for a while. A nice new brick building was put up for it and soon it was doing as much business as the old. So now Hemingway was a most modern, progressive town and seemed to be headed on for the top, wherever that was. The Cross Roads, in the meantime, looked rather neglected for some years. The school dwindled until it employed only four teachers and then only three. The church membership was visibly smaller, but there were many who retained their membership and their loyalty to her. The parsonage at the Cross Roads was burned and the pastor was moved to Hemingway. Bub’s big store was empty for everyone rode into town for what they wanted. The schoolhouse itself was burned, but was immediately rebuilt with the insurance money. The new building was even better than the old for ideas in school architecture had changed considerably in the few years that had elapsed between the times of building. Page | 93 �So at the roll of the wave of fortune Old Johnsonville stood at the trough and Hemingway rode on the crest. There it stood for a brief time and then slid downward with the wave as it subsided. Chapter 24 There were these years of prosperity and of forging ahead. There was even talk of having another county cut out [w]ith Hemingway at its county seat. But these prosperous times were brought to a sudden halt. Tobacco had brought such fine prices, and everyone had made money from it: the merchant, the farmer, the warehousemen, and the tobacco buyers. The farmers grew greedy and backed by the merchants they planted larger and even larger fields of tobacco. The increase in quantity was bound to bring a decrease in quality for the farmers could not handle well so much of it. The increase also caused the supply to exceed the demand. So the prices of tobacco fell off. The merchants had overstocked themselves with high price good and their consumers were now unable to buy. Many of the farmers were in debt to the merchant and were unable to pay out. The merchant, fearing to lose what was owed to him, and hoping that the next year tobacco would pick up in its prices still credited the farmers, thus sinking good money after bad. The banks lent money to the merchants to carry the farmers and while things were on the boom they had let out a great deal also. Now things tightened up and the money could not be returned so the banks, first one and then the other closed their doors. As the people expressed it in a few words, “The bank busted.” This took all the surplus wealth out of the country for faith in the banks had been strong and all the savings of years had been deposited in the bank. There were widows and helpless ones who were left penniless. It was the first blow. But the people struggled on and in time another bank was established. This time it was a branch of a well-known, town established national bank. Everyone felt that there was something solid behind it so felt renewed confidence and even the most conservative began to put their money back in the bank. Page | 94 �Hemingway had its share in the excitement during the epidemic of bank robberies that swept the country. The cashier of the bank and his wife were just ready to retire one night about ten o’clock when he stopped and said, “I forgot to set the time clock on the vault this afternoon. I expect I’d better run back and do it now.” His wife thought it wouldn’t hurt to leave it off for one night, but as he seemed uneasy, she said she’d go with him. Just then a rap on the door sounded. As he opened the door, a man jabbed a gun in his ribs with the order to be quiet. Another man sidled past the cashier and covered his wife as she emerged from the room. A car, a Buick, with its motor throbbing softly stood at the sidewalk. Neither of the men were masked, but they were both complete strangers to the cashier. They told their prisoner that he must come and open the bank and then the vault for them. Thinking rapidly, the cashier answered that he could not open the vault as it had a time lock and could only be open when the lock was automatically released, which would not be until seven o’clock the next morning. Afterwards, he bitterly lamented the fact that he had not said nine o’clock, but of course, he had no idea to what an extent they were willing to carry the affair. The two men forced the cashier and his wife, after gagging them, into the waiting car where they found two women, evidently confederates of the men. They were driven around to the bank and ordered to open the door. Once inside they went to the vault and could hear the steady ticking of the time clock which had been wound and set, but not connected. Satisfied that the cashier was telling them the truth, the robbers bundled the cashier and his wife back into the car and drove them all over the town, which seemed quietly sleeping. Every house was dark and all was quiet. Then they were kept until six forty-five. When the cashier’s wife began to shake from nerves and the chill of the night air, one of the men wrapped his coat around her. As six forty-five they road back to the bank. How anxiously did they scan the street for some early stirrer. They did see one man just as he disappeared into his store, but he just thought it was a car passing through and paid no attention to it. The cashier was unable to cry out for the gags had been replaced before they left the woods. Page | 95 �Into the bank they went and into the vault at seven. Taking out the bags of coins and paper money they put the cashier and his wife into the vault and shut the door. While they were making good their escape and chuckling over their success the two prisoners were busy. It had been a game for them for her to lock him in the vault and see how long it took him to free himself, and so a tiny flashlight and a screwdriver were lying just inside the door. It was the work of only a second for him to give her the light while he manipulated the screwdriver. The robbers had gone no more than half a mile before the distracted pair rushed out of the bank and called for help. They got on their trail at once and followed it to the Yawhannah Bridge where they changed cars and were joined by one or two others. The trail was lost soon afterwards but in a few weeks they were caught as they tried that trick elsewhere. They confessed their guilt and were duly punished. Tobacco having started on the downward path could not be halted. A few tobacco growers tried to organize a tobacco association, but the farmers were a little shy of it. In order to force sales through the association, the business men did away with all the tobacco warehouses in Hemingway, but the one run by the association. Farmers would not and often could not wait for the money for their crops. They preferred the little on the spot than the promise of much later. Those who did get their crops tied up in the association very often sold on the outside in someone else’s name. The association was doomed before the end of the first summer. The organizers of the association were trying to hold the crop over until the surplus on hand had been used, then they could force the manufacturers to buy at their price. But so much was sold out of the association that the buyers would not ever look at that which the association held. After the failure of the association, the manufacturers refused to send buyers to the Hemingway open market. Hemingway had shut them out one year and so they crossed her off their lists. The whole town lost by it. The money that tobacco brought was sent elsewhere. Summers were for a while the liveliest times of the year, the merchants and those who took roomers or boarders made great presentations for the event. But with the closing of the markets, all was changed. Farmers generally carry Page | 96 �their tobacco to Mullins or Lake City. The good roads and big trucks make this possible. A great deal of tobacco is planted, but the farmers are constantly seeking other ways to make a money crop. They turned to trucking, trying to get their produce on the market between the Florida crops and the Northern. If there is an early spring here sometimes the first to begin shipping get a fairly good price for the first few shipments. As the main crop comes on, the market falls off until the producer fails to pay expense. So one spring a man came through who promised to take the chance out of the cucumber market. He contracted to take the farmers’ cucumber crop, cull them, ship them, and tend to it all. All the farmer had to do was to bring him the cucumbers to the depot station. The famers were all disgusted with the independent shipping and this sounded like a streak of luck to them. When the cucumbers were brought in they were so closely culled less than one third were shipped. By the time all expenses were defrayed and the commission merchant paid the farmers got nothing. When a farmer or two sold on the outside, he was instantly sued for breaking his contract. But when the market price got so low that it no longer paid the commissioner to ship, he immediately shut down and left the rest of the crop on the farmers’ hand and there was no suing done. This should have taught the farmers a lesson but the next year they signed up with another man for another sort of contract which include cucumbers and beans. Again they were stung. One farmer on an acre of cucumbers picked 75 baskets of cucumbers at 75 cents a crate. The seed cost around $5 and the fertilizers were added to the cost. He received from the man he had contracted with exactly 62 cents. That is the way it goes. They still plant [and] truck peas, beans, cucumbers, and potatoes, but they barely cover expenses if they do so. The farmers have made nothing on their truck nor on their tobacco for many years. Sometimes a little cotton is planted but it brings nothing, so the merchant does very little business. They sit around and talk about how dull times are. The merchants all have farms and all try to raise something to eat. The Page | 97 �farmers are beginning to plant more and more food crops and let the money crop alone, although they try to plant a little for they must have some money. The roads have been improved and re-improved until now we can travel north, east, south, and west, and never get in a bog. A highway right through Hemingway leads to Myrtle Beach, over which there is a constant stream of tourists in the summer. The power company has run lines out from Kingstree and the town and vicinity are well lighted. Most of the people bought refrigerators, radios, irons, and fans on the installment plan. Several banks were organized and then closed. The last one closed little over a year ago and there has been no comeback from it. It literally wiped the country clean. There is no bank there now and no prospect of one for no one has anything to put in it. The school has discontinued all the many buses they once ran and the children get to school as best they can. There is quite an array of cars of all types, kinds, and conditions outside of the school every day. The number of teachers has been lessened and they don’t get their pay. During the war the church paid a high salary to their pastor and this was considered a very desirable charge, but when hard times struck the congregation the church was one of the first things to suffer. The appropriations were not cut for several years--they simply weren’t paid. When they were cut the people had become used to not paying up so they fell short right on. So in many ways, we have come a long way since the day your grandmother was born, but we are having to go back to the old way of living. Live at home and buy only necessities. Our idea of necessities is much broader than they used to be, but they are gradually narrowing down to the essentials. And today Hemingway is like many another sleepy little town; plenty of stores; filling stations on every corner; a street or two of nice looking houses; electric lights; a nice school that can’t pay its teachers, and a nice church that can’t pay its pastor, and yet, so your grandmother thinks, the best place in the world. And today the Cross Roads has its schoolhouse with four teachers who can’t be paid either, its church with a slender but loyal membership that can’t pay its pastor, either, Page | 98 �one small store at the crossing, several houses within the radius of half a mile, but for all that is we think the best place in the world. Page | 99 At last it was done. Not finished ever because Grandma kept talking and as she talked new stories and facts came out. These pages were written for the seven of us and our children. We seven can never forget Grandma. She lives for us and as we read we hear her again. Thank you, Miz Beth, for preserving this part of our heritage for us. We hope that as our children read they will picture Grandma in her black and white gingham dress, her white apron, her ever busy fingers, and will then sit back and listen to Grandma talking. Thank you Mam, Miz Beth! �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

" Mr. Hanna was 7 8 when he was first brought to Mcleod Infirmary in what seemed to him the final phose of his long struggle with emphysema. He come to Mcleod because over the years it has m eant o lot to his family. His connection with Mcleod began about threequarters of o century earlier, in 1 906. There is now a bond, the kind of relationship that develops and grows strong out of need over time. Even though there seemed to be no space at Mcleod that night, Mr. Hanna was token in and given oxygen in a room where there were two other patients. He doesn't recall the first few days, but Mrs. Hanna was thankful for that small room and the stroight·bock choir during the 1 0 days and nights of her bedside vigil. He needed to be in the ir.tPnsive co re unit but all • of those beds w ere fille d. They placed him close to the ICU and cared for him as if he were there o' a round it for 4 7 y ears .

It was another e ra , bod~ when they " plan ted nothing (s~e Generations, page 8) 0 Lillian and James Hanna : 'We 're w1th Mcleod 100 perce nt " . • Mr. Hanna remembers the attention. the gentle core . the medication without fail. The respiratory therapy treatments every four hours by those "btg. husky boys" helped cause the steady improvement. More than that, at the end of each treatment they added o special arm and neck massage that helped him relax into sleep. "The nurses would tip in and tip out, JUSt to say 'Mr. Hanna , is there anything?' Just checking to see if everything is all right." In the middle of another night in April this year. Mr. Hanna become seriously ill with an emphysema·related infection. EMS brought him with his wife to the emergency roo m at Mcleod as Dr. William Hazelwood Instructed. Out it was to be awhile before he could get a room. So a nurse decided to pass the time by getting them breakfast. Mrs. Hanna ate as she watched the nurse help her husband with breakfast. "She even put the jelly on his toast." · The doctor said he wanted them to be set up "as near lil-~e home as possible ." This was the hew Mcleod. The attention was just the same as before , the newness only made it better. For the Hannes. the story at Mcleod began in 1906 when in uncle, Mr. G.M. Hanna. was hospitalized. He was the first patient Dr. Fronk Mcleod operated on for appendicitis. The two remained fond acquaintances for life. Mr. G.M. Hanna's wife, Aunt Annie Hanna, was a patient there in later years. Their grandson . Robert T. Haselden. was two months old in July 1953. when he was admitted to Mcleod with on intestinal obstruction. Doctors Ellis and Mead told the parents he could not five as he was. that " this is a first. but will you let us try?" He is now a fine young man with a family of his own. Another uncle. Floyd M. Hanna, was taken to Mcleod for appendicitis in 1912. He was carried by buggy to Lake City, then on to Florence by train. Mr. Hanna knew that Mcleod . ac the turn of the century was the only hospital in the area . Horse and buggy or train was the only tronsporta tion. Thomas F. Hanna. James Hanna's father, was treated for cancer at Mcleod during the lost years of his life. The family saw the some treatment then. in 1938, as in their recent visits. Mr. Hanna's sister, Lucille H. Eaddy, was in Mcleod in the early 70s with uremic poisoning. Although she was not expected to live, the nursing staff understood the feelings of the family and "never hindered our . . ', VISitS. There ore other little stories of the Hanna family and Mcleod. Over three-quarters of a century holds many memories. "Mostly through these years it's the good feelings that remain." The ·round trip to Mcleod and bock home to Johnsonville con still be made between sunrise and sundown. • '. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
