) Six=!Hile Church
i
' Why, According to Tradition,
the Location of the Church
and Cemetery was Changed.
I
Mr. Sam F. Massey, of 0-*c< o'a,
in Fort Mill Tim hp.
One thing suggests another.
So, I have picked up some tradition
a* to the cause of moving
the location ot Six Mile chuich.
In olden times superstition
was very prevalent among our
ancestors, and has not yet died
out; indeed we may truthfully
assume that every human being
has at least a streak of it in his
physical structure, and it is not
a violent presumption that brutes
are a ill i ct eel in the snmo way.
The aioresaid tradition cimes
through two generations an 1 on
that account is in a degree respectable.
It is said that atter
the church was burned some people
wfi" digging a grave in the
cemeten and found a large nug
get of gold?about the size of
the tron? j dot ot a man's thumb
This c'rcumsfatice was the f\iuse
of much speculation as to tin.
propriety <f any further btnials
in th it cemetery. When this
burial took place the nugget of
trold win cast into tlie vault of
i he grave as uncanny Whether
this wa- done because of super
slitiou, or f< r the reason that it
was impracticable to decide the
owueiship of the gold, deponent
sailh not. At any rate it. was
decide 1 to forego the practice of
burving there and the location of
.
:the church and cenuury was.
i changed.
Was this the effect of superstition,
or was it supposed that
future mining operations might
disturb the ash-s of the deid?
| Lst s'une one else decide ; it is
I too hard a nut lor ine to crack.
