Elford of Greenville, so well and favorably known to the people of his section of the state. He was taken suddenly ill, while at church on Sunday the 19th inst. and lingered until Saturday morning next, when he quietly passed away from the busy scenes of his more than ordinarily useful life. His funeral services were conducted last Sunday in the Baptist church by Rev. W.D. Thomas and the occasion is represented by those who were present, as being one of unusual solemnity. The large Sabbath school over which he has presided for many years successfully, together with the various other Sabbath schools in the village, gave evidence of the esteem in which his memory was held, by turning out in procession on the occasion. The Sabbath School and his church have suffered an irreparable loss, while the community, as an able jurist and public spirited citizen, will miss Colonel Elford in every enterprise, having for its object the good of the people and the interest of the district in which he lived. Peaceful be his slumbers. ------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Equity Gideon POWELL vs. John T.

Parker, C.E.A.D., Commissioner's Office, April 26, 1867 ------ NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JUNE 7, 1867 FROM IRELAND The friends of Wm. HILL, our esteemed Ordinary, will be pleased to hear that he has safely made the trans Atlantic voyage and writes in buoyant spirits from the shores of "Green Erin". The exhilirating presence of kindred, the influences early association and the green fields of the "gem of the ocean" seem to have rejuvenated his spirits, quickened his fancy and tinged the style of his letter. Indeed, in contrast with our own poverty stricken land, portions of Northern Ireland must look like the Garden of Eden. In that portion of the country, owing to the demand for agricultural labor, he thinks it will be difficult to find farm hands who can be induced to immigrate. There is not the same demand for servant girls and a number of that class might e secured with proper inducements. Our readers who wish house servants should correspond with him on the subject. ------- DEATH OF MRS. E. EUGENIA CREWS Died, from a lingering illness through which she patiently and unmurmuringly suffered. This community was in a measure, prepared to hear of the death of Mrs. Eugenia Crews, yet when the shock of the annoucement of her death was thus broken, this did not and could not rob death of its awful solemnity or our hearts of commiserating sadness and mourning. This most gentle, patient and lovely Christian departed this life and her spirit took its flight, we have every assurance to believe to a better world, on Monday night last. She had been a consistent member of the Methodist church for a number of years. Though but in the noontide of her life, Consumption had wasted her form so that her spirit was easily released in death. Oh, how sad to think of the little children all under ten years of age, the youngest a sweet babe, who survive their angelic mother who has gone before. The deceased was universally loved. Her amiable, gentle disposition never failed to attract. She was the wife of Mr. T.B. Crews, one of the proprietors of The Herald, and the last surviving child of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hance of this town. The funeral of the deceased was preached on Wednesday last at the Methodist church by the Rev. A.N. Wells to a very large concourse of people attendant upon the funeral services and sympathizing with the afflicted family. Our warmest sympathies are with the bereaved husband; so are those of the whole community.

Parker, C.E.A.D., Commissioner's Office, June 24, 1867 ------ NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 5, 1867 DEATH OF WM. VAN WYCK We regret to announce the death of William Van Wyck, says the Anderson Intelligencer, at his residence in this village, on Sunday morning last. The deceased was a native of New York, we believe, but had been a resident of this district for a great many years. He was a member of the Episcopal church and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. Mr. Van Wyck held the offfice of Assessor of the Internel Revenue for this district and gave general satisfaction in the discharge of delicate and important duties. His health had been declining for some months and when the summons came, it was not unexpected. He was probably over sixty years of age. ------ NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 12, 1867 DEATH OF MR. CLARENCE H. SELLECK We extract from The Charleston Mercury the following notice of this gentleman, who at one time resided in our village and left many warm friends in our community, who will regret to hear of his early death: The relatives of Mr. Clarences H. Selleck, who hav been in suspense as to his fate since his disappearance over four years ago, have recently received intelligence from a lady in Tennessee. He was killed in a skirmish near Fairfield, in Bedford county, Tennessee about the 22nd of June 1863 while General Bragg was in command of the Western Army. A lady, who lives in sight of the ground where the engagement took place, took care of his body and had it buried, but the officer in command of the Federals refused to give her his papers and letters. Mr. Selleck, says the Savannah News, was well known in Columbia and Abbeville, South Carolina, in which state he was a student at Erskine College. During the several years of residence in this city, he enjoyed much popularity and was highly esteemed and respected. Abandoning the favorable prospects which were opening to him, he was among the first to volunteer in the war. The Savannah Oglethorpe Light Infantry, the original company of the lamented F.S. Bartow, were his first comrades in war and he will be remembered by the survivors of Kershaw's Brigade, with which he served in Virginia, from the Spring of 1861 until the Summer of 1862. When killed, he was a member of a Confederate Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd, attached to Gen. Warton's division. --------- ESTATE OF ABNER HILL McGEHEE, Dec'd All creditors of Abner H.
