William John Hunnlcutt was born in PickenB District, (now Oconee county), South Carolina, on the 25th day of November, 1832. Ile was the son of Mattison and Ellie Hunnlcutt, whose ancestors came from Ireland to America. He lived with his parents on a farm near Old Bickens Court House until lie was happily married lo Miss 10mma Berry, on tho 2d day of November, 185?), and then engaged in fanning and mechanical work un til tho opening of hostilities between the North and South in 1861, when he volunteered and entered tho army in Company 10.

Norton, who fell mortally wounded al the Second Battle of Manassas, and served as a gallant soldier throughout the bloody fratricidal struggle which ended at Appomattox, Va., in April, 1865, when the glorious Hag of the Southern Confederacy went down all tattered and bullet-torn, but never dishonored. After four years of hardship, strug gle and privation lie returned to his home and family, broken In fortune and injured in health, but invincible in spirit, and heroically began life anew, engaging in farming and the lumber business until his tragic death, which occurred In December, 1882, when he was foully assassina ted on his return from Walhalla to his home. He was 4 9 years old and was survived by five sons and six daughters, with their mother. He I was a man of fine character-Chris- 1 tia 11 in spirit, noble in disposition, I kind, charitable and affectionate, pub lic spirited and enterprising. Under the guidance and Christian devotion of their energetic mother, with the ! aid of her older sons, the children were reared to manhood and woman- j hood and given such schooling as the neighborhood afforded. The oldest son, J. B., (Brackie, as he was affectionately called,) believ ing he could better aid his mother lu the rearing and education of hts bro thers and sisters, left home at the age of 21, engaged In the railroad business in Florida, rose to a lucra tive and responsible position, which he held until two years before his death, in 1909, at the age of 49. He accumulated a handsome property in Florida and left his widow in good circumstances. - Though sermTHtotr from home'??TT mother, there was never a more duti ful s?n ?ml lox ing brother than Brack Hmniicutt., as evinced hy his frequent visits homo and his generous and lov ing gifts to his mother and younger brothers and sisters, all of whom adored him and tenderly remember Iiis pleasing smile, gentle voice and loving kindness. He was a most handsome man, six feet in height, weighing over 200 pounds, with raven locks and keen, black eyes. With his tine appearance, winning personality and gentle manners he made friends with all whom bo met. The next eldest son, William Le land Hunnlcutt. was born in 18(57, remained with his mother on the farm till he was 20 years of age, per forming all the duties of a faithful son, when he went to Manassas, Colo., where be engaged most successfully in farming and stock rnislng and ac cumulated considerable property. He married Miss Victoria Kirkland, of Manassas, Colo. He died In Septem ber, 190 4, leaving his widow and seven children, all of whom aro liv ing in Colorado In prosperous circum stances. Samuel Newel iHunnlcutt was born January 4, 1872, and was ll years old when his father was killed, iu his presence, he himself being badly wounded In the head, from which in jury he has never fully recovered. Ho and his father were . traveling alone one cold December night ten miles from home. Ills fnther's dead body lying on the wagon and he badly hurt, this boy made his way home with mules and wagon, arriving near ly frozen and almost unconscious. The family was aroused and came out to find the bleeding body of husband and fathor and the wounded boy. What a tragedy! What a heart-rend ing scene!

A coroner's Inquest was held, and tho body of William John Hunnicutt was sorrowfully borne to the cemetery at New Hope church, followed by an Immense throng of grief-stricken rel atives and friends. One negro, Fra zer Copeland, was arrested, tried and publicly executed at Walhalla for this atrocious crime. lt was universally believed that the object of the murderer was robbery, as Mr. Hunnicutt was not known to have nu enemy in the world. His lit tle son said there were three in the crowd, one on the wagon, who struck the fatal blow, one In front of tho mules and Hie third coming out from Hie side of the road. The boy Newel, who so narrowly escaped death in this fearful tragedy, remained with his mother a number of years, went to Atlanta, Ga., where, he has been and ls now engaged ex tensively in farming as well as In the plumbing business. He married Miss Lola Delay, of Atlanta, 20 years ago. He ls prominent In the church, popu lar In his community and decidedly prosperous In business. T. Y. Hunnicutt, the youngest son of t lt is remarkable family, was born in 187 0. He lived at the old home stead until he was 27 years of age, married Miss Lila Abbott, went to Tampa, Fla., and was employed In the street car business for ?bout two years. He was instantly killed by coming in contact with a live wire, and thus ended the life of a bright, promising and useful young man. His remains were shipped home and buried at New Hope. Miss Lula, the oldest daughter, has been In Atlanta a number of years, successfully engaged In the millinery business. Mrs. Cora Sanders died a few years ago, survived by a husband and two children. Mrs. Dora Morteson, who ls the widow of George Morteson, of Idaho, ls now living, with two daughters, in Ogden, Utah.

F. Bright, who was for 16 years Superintendent of Education for Pickens county. Ho served throughout the War Between the States and was twice wounded. He died In 1902 and had the peculiar distinction of being elected the last time on the day he was burled. So highly esteemed were he and his fam ily by the good people of Pickens that his accomplished daughters were permitted to fill out his unexpired term. Tho great-grandfather of Mrs. Hunnicutt was the celebrated physi cian of that name of Pennsylvania, by whom the nature of "Bright's dis ease" was discovered. He was an In timate friend of Wm. Penn, the great Philanthropist, for whom Pennsylva nia was named. Mr. illunnicutt has been a trustee of New Hope District school for a number of years, is prominent in church and Sunday school work, is a Woodman of the World, an Odd Fellow and one of the best farmers in Oconeo county. Much has been said In praise of the children of this family, and they doservo much for what they have done; but all honor, love and grati tude ls due the aged mother, now In her 76th year, for her careful train ing, toll and motherly devotion.

Scores of persons were arrested and the authorities announced at 10 o'clock they had the situation well in hand. Thoughts of Old Picketts. Editor Keowee Courier: Kindly allow me space in your columns to say a few words lu regard to Mr. Cary's article in a recent issue of The Courier. Personally I read the arti cle with unusual interest, largely be cause I also first saw the light of day within a mile of Old Plckens church, on the farm known as the old Reeder pince. It always makes me feel sad to go to Old PickenB, for I have bur ied there father, grandfather, great grandfather, aunt and Infant sister. What Mr. Cary bad to say abouti Mr. Keith's farm also proved inter esting. 1 had the pleasure of going over a part of his farm last summer, and judging by bis surroundings and the activities about his place, any one can readily see he is a farmer of the modern type. Quite easy it is to account for James Evatt continuing to live on the plantation for seven teen years. Mr. Keith has the repu tation of being kind, accommodating, honest and square in all his business dealings, ready and willing to give his mon a helping hand in tinto of need. 1 No doubt.'a largo portion of thc early settlers around Old IMckens have passed into th?' "great beyond since Mr, Cary lived there. Statis tics show that 07 people die every minute in the year the world over; and more are born Into the world, as tile population does not decrease. A number of families have come from other parts of the State and set tled in Oconee as is shown in the fol lowing figures. Oconee had In 1890, 18,687 people; 1900, 23,634; 1910, 27,337. John J.
