TRAGEDY OF SEVENTY YEARS'
AGO !
Twenty -four Drowned at Boy kin's
Mill Pond
It was seventy years ago today that '
a great tragedy occurred at Boykin's '
mill pond when twenty-four persons
lost their lives. The Camden Weekly
Journal, edited by T. J. Warren, gave
a detailed account of this tragedy, 1
which we reproduce here as follows:
"TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE" j
"Our community is overwhelmed in
gloom in consequence of a most heart
rending disaster, which occurred on
Saturday afternoon la.?t, about 5 o -
clock, at Boykin's Mill, eight miles
from town. In tne morning a party
of ladies and gentlemen from Cam
den and the neighborhood met at the
place mentioned on a Picnic excurs
ion and after spending the moU of
the day, coneludeo in the afternoon
to get aboard a Flat-boat near the
shore, for the purpose of going out
into the pond. Some fifty persons, it
is said, got on and the Flat was mov
ed off, and when about fifty or sixty
yards out into the water, it is sup
posed that it struck a snag, whi h
caused the boat to commence leaking,
and, in a few minutes, from t": e
heavy weight upon it, commenced
sinking. In the consternation which
seized hold upon the party, many
jumped overboard, ? and out of the
number, we are pained to say that
twenty-four persons were drowned ?
mostly ladies. Others more foi tun
ate, were just .saved, mainly through
the assistance of those who had not
left the Flat, or went to their rescue
from the shore.
What a sad and calamitous termi
nation of a festive occasion!
The following is a correct list of
those who were drowned, and whose
bodies have all been recovered.
Names of Persons Drowned
Miss Sarah Howell, Camden.
Miss Salina Crosby, Camden .
Mary Hinson, Camden
Misus Louisa S. Nettles, Camden.
Miss Elizabeth McKagen, Camden.
Miss Margaret Mclvown, Camden.
Miss, Louisa McKown, Camden.
Miss Amelia A. Alexander, Camdon
Miss Alice Robinson, Camden
Mi.ss Jane Kelly, Boykin's T. O.
Two daughters and one son of Mr.
Samuel H. Young, near Boykin's T. O.
Miss Jenkins, daughter of Mr. M.
D. Jeknins, Clarkson's T. O.
Mr. Jeremiah R. McLeod, Sumter
District.
Mr. Joseph Iluggins, Sumter Dist.
Mr. T. S. S. Richburg, Sumter Dist.
Mr. Lucius R. LeGrand, Camden.
Mr. William C. LeGrand, Camden.
Mr. John A. Oakes, Camden.
Mr. B. F. Hocott, near Camden.
Master William McKagen, Camden
And tw.o negroes, making twenty
four persons in all.
The pall of gloom is spread over
the entire community, and there is
not a single heart which we are sure
does not feel painfully impressed with
this sad and overwhelming calamity.
On Sunday last our town presented
a scene which we pray it may never
he our lot to witness again. In every
direction distress and lamentation
might have been witnessed, and our
sympathizing, noble-hearted commun
ity, were all alive in ministrations of
kindness and sympathy) ? visiting the
stricken homes of our bereaved and
deeply afflicted fellow-citizens. Every
thing that the most thoughtful ami
unremitting kindness and attention
could suggest, was promptly done to
soothe the crushed and broken-heart
ed relatives of the unfortunate vic
tims.
J Inasmuch as it was a public cal
amity it was thought best to make a
common burial, and to this end, fun
eral services wore held over the fol
lowing in tho Methodist church at
4:30:?
I Miss Elizabeth McKaken, Miss Ix>u
isa P. Nettles, the Misses McKown,'
Miss Howell, Mi.<s Hinson, Miss Alex
nnder, Messrs. L. R. and W. C. I/e
grand, and Master William McKagen.
i Rev. K. J. Meynardie conducted the
exercises, assisted by Rev. S. H. Hay,
of the Presbyterian, and Rev. W. F,.
Duggins, of the Baptist Churches.
| The congregation was a very large
and deeply affected one. A large
number of our citizens followed the
remain* to iheir earthly resting place.
1 The servue of Miss Oroslby was
held in the Episcopal Church, con
ducted by Rev. T. F. Davis.
The funeral of Alice Robinson took
place at the Methodist Church con
ducted by Rov. E. J. Meynardie, and
those of Mr. John A Oaks, at the
Baptist church in the afternoon, con
ducted by Rev. W. F. Hughson, as
sisted by Rev. J. E. Rodgers, and E
J Meynardie.
The several occasions were well
improved by most excellent, well
timed and solemn admonitions to the
living. Surely the voice of the Most
High is heard, preaching louder and
in more terribfa language than hu
man lips can speak.
Will that voice be heard and obey
ed? We trUst that it may be so,
and that great good to our whole
community may eventuate from this
sudden and crushing calamity. If we
do not believe now, neither would we
were one sent from the dead.
With most commendable good taste
our worthy Town Concil requeued
all places of business to bo closed
during the entire day of yesterday,
and without a solitary exception the
stores were closed, and the crmmun
| ity united in demontration of respect
for the dead, and sympathy for the
Jiving.
, In just <uch a place rs dear old
Camden we want to live, and when
cur summons come, amorg our own
; sainted dead, to be buried and min
gle our dust.
I It is a shock whicn our qui"t com
munity has never felt bi fne, ai d
many long years mu t clause, before
tho recollections of this d pv.;:'.
will pass among the things that were.
Our spirit i? overwhelm* d by thi
crushing calamity, and it would 1
an idle mockery of words in attempt
ng to give an idea of the gi'ief, which
has been carried to so many kindred
hearts, by the sudden and mo t
?nai kable visitation.
But, He who does all things well, is
'o<< wise to err, and too good to bo
unkind.
'Tis not ouiv to question, but adore.
