KKVOLl TIOXAKV PATKIOT. Jacob Brawler (>av? Himself and 123 Sons For Liberty. Editor Star:?When in Charleston last August my attention was called to a remarkable incident of the revolutionary war. I have looked up the facts in Gregg's history of the old Cheraws, pages 403-404. While the facts may be known to some of your readers, I think the publication of them will prove of much interest. J. M. HOLLADAY. "Another name which has no place in history, and is now unknown in the region where he lived, deserves, in one respect, at least, the first place in the annals of the Pee Dee, if not in the story of the revolution throughout the thirteen colonies. Jacob Brawler gave his own life and the lives of twenty-three sons to the cause of liberty in Carolina. He removed from the Tar river, North Carolina, to Liberty precinct, and settled on Catfish, sixteen miles below the present village of Marion. He was married twice, and had large families by both wives, all of whom were sons except one, a daughter. After the fall of Charleston, some of the sons were drafted; but the old man said there should be no division among them, that if one went, all should go, and that he would accompany them. Twenty-four in all, tney embarked in the strife, and almost incredible to relate, but one of the sons returned to tell the tale of slaughter. Overwhelmed by the calamity, the 'frantic wife and mother went off, not knowing whither, in search of her loved ones, but only to return, after a fruitless search, a broken hearted mourner. She was eventually put upon the parish, and lived to old age. The surviving son, who was of weak mind and body, died a few years after and the name became extinct in Marion." A foot note adds: "This account, which may appear almost incredible, was related to the author by the late Hugh Godbold, of Marion, and confirmed in every par- ticular by William Shaw, a humble but worthy and respectable man, who i was of age at that time, lived in the same neighborhood and knew the family of Brawler jvell. Mr. Shaw was born in March, 1759, and in the spring of 1859, when the author spent a night with him at the house of Mr. Godbold, was possessed of astonishing vigor of body and mind for one of his years. Neither his sight nor hearing was very seriously impaired. He sat up to a late hour, listening with unabated interest to a conversation about the early days of the Pee Dee, taking part himself, and was as cheerful as a man in his prime. He said a red oak was then living which stood in Brawler's yard. , Brawler was poor, but ingenious. He adopted the following method of i cathhing bears: Driving sharp nails, 1 pointing downward in a bee-gum, he * baited it at the bottom, having se- ' cured it well. The bear, putting his head down, would be caught beyond the possibility of extraction. William Shaw had passed his hundredth year when the author saw him for the first and last time, and, in considering his activity, was one of the mast remarkable cases of longevity on record.?Marion Star. * DOUBLE FUNERAL. Minister and Wife XotJ Parted in T* ~r.. . Death, > i 1 ' k ' r s Anderson, Oct. 9.?There was a double funeral yesterday for the Rev. G. M. Rogers and wife at Beaverdam church, one of the first churches of which the Rev. Mr. Rogers was pastor. For many days Mr. Rogers had been extremely ill, and it was generally felt that it was his last illness. Mrs. Rogers was perfectly well last Sunday when one of the family visit?ed her, and she then said that she would go first and be waiting for her husbancl. While Mr. Rogers said he had hoped that he and Mrs. Rogers would go together, as he did not want to be separated from her. They had lived together for 63 years.
