Emily Gelger's Ride During
the Revolutionary
War.
(BY MRS. J. B. NUNNAMAKER.)
Thera has been so much written
about the darine ride of Emily Geieer
to save our country from the clutches
of the Tories, but the account I am
giving here I am sure is correct in
every detail, as it is just as Emily
Geiger related it to her first cousin,
who was also my great-grand-mother,
Elizabeth Kaigler.
When Cen. Greene saw that, unless
he could get into communication with
Gen. Sumter and get reinforcements,
his army could not resist the opposing
army, he failed to get any of his men
to consent to take a message from him
to Gen. Sumter. This was because
they would have to pass through the
country that the Tories occupied and
they fe;t it would be certain death to
any one to undertake it.
Emily Geiger, a girl only 18 years
o'd?a daughter of a German farmer
living In Lexington county, who was
devoted to the American cause, but
was too old for active service?offered
her services to take the message. At
first Gen. Greene would not consent
for her to go. It was only aftrr she
insisted, saying she had often made
the trip through that section on her
way to visit relatives in the low country,
and that she felt confident she
| could take the message in safety, that
he consented. He then told her to get
the consent of her parents and come
back to his camp. She complied with
his request, her parents consenting
and giving her the best horse they |
v a 1 _ AV . A_V_ TTT1
ownea 10 mase wie trip on. wnen
she returned to Greene's camp, he
read the message to her, then sealed
it np and giving it to her bade her
God-speed.
It was a long and lonely ride that
this girl undertook but she did not falter.
Her horse was strong and he
went cn without hindrance until after
she had crossed the Congaree river.
On the edge of a dried up swamp
she wai met by two Tories, who suspected
the young girl riding alone on
this dismal road. They captured her
and took her to the old Cayce home in
Lexington county. It was at this
house that Lord Rawdon had her secured
in a room on the second floor
and sent for two Tory women to search
her. While she was left alone for a
few minutes, she ate the message and,
as nothing could be found when she
was searched, she was allowed to proceed
on her way. Late in the afternoon
of the same day, she was again
arrested by some Tories. She was taken
to a farm house and confined in a
room by herself. After supper, she
retireds but she could not sleep, so she
heard a conversation between the man
of the house and a man who had come
in since she retired. He asked if Em
ily Geiger was there and was told that
she was and that she said she was on
her way to visit relatives in the low
country, but he said he believed she
was on some secret mission. Emily
yery qaickly decided to make her escape
f rom that house just as soon as
she could safely do so. As soon as
she thought the people were asleep,
she opened a window that (opened on
a piazza. As she did so a large fierce
dog came up to her, but she patted
him on the head and, by making
friends with him, succeeded in getting
to the stable where she quickly mounted
her horse and rode away. It was a
moonlight night and she succeeded in
finding her way to the home of a patriot
friend. It was scarcely day when
she arrived and when she explained
her errand, a hurried breakfast was
prepared for her, a fresh horse was
saddled and a guide was sent to show
her a shorter and 9afer way to Sumter's
cimp. After the guide had given
her accurate directions, she went
on her way alone, urging on her tired
horse.
In the afternoon she came upon
some soldiers whom she knew to be
Sumter's men. "Take me to Gen.
Sumter," she said eagerly, "I have a
message for him from Gen. Greene."
She was so tired she could scarcely
speak, but she repeated to Gen. Sumter,
almost word for word, the contents
of the letter that she had destroyed.
In an hour Gen. Sumter
and his men were marching towards
the point that Gen. Greene had directed
him to come. At the same
time a courier was sent to Marion to
explain the change of plans.
It was largely due to brave Emily
Geiger's ride that we are a free nation
today.
In 1824 the distinguished Frenchman,
Lafayette, wno fought on the
ymerican side daring the revolutionary
war, revisited the United States
and it is said that while he was in
Charleston he met and danced with
Emily Geiger at a ball.
I can assure all who read this account
that I can substantiate every
word I have written, as I am related
to Emily Geiger, she being second
cousin to my father, Copt. A. W. Geiger
and third cousin to my mother,
who was a daughter of Jacob A.
t <
Wolfe. ;
I haye in my possession a United
States history containing a picture of
Emily Geiger as she was captured by
the Tories.
She is buried in the lower part of
Lexington county, near my father's
home and I have often, in my girlhood
days, visited her grave and decorated
it with flowers.
Mrs. R. Brant, 11115 Paden St.,
Parkersbnrg, W. Va.f had an attack
of Jagrippe which left her bad kidney
trouble, and she suffered much severe
pain and bachache. Then she heard
of Foley Kidney Pills and says: "After
taking them a short time the pain
left my back and I am again able to do
my own house work. Foley Kidney
Pills helped me wonderfully."

says: "Everyman and woman tells

A surgical operation has just been

time from a ward of the Eastern hospital
When the mystery wa9 solved
by the discovery that one of the patients
WH9 swallowing the missing articles,
Drs. W. C. Mason and E. B.
Sanger recovered from the man's
stomach 19 teaspoons. Seventeen of
them belonged to the hospital and two
had presumably been swallowed before
the man was committed.
