"Grandma" as Mm, Tarrant In af. fiM -tlonatcly known in tin* villas*, has resided in tills county all her life. In fact, alio says that Groeiivillo la "tin* county" anil attho she Iuis vU1N In Anderson. 1'tckens and nearby towns a number of times alia la a I way a ready i o return. I lor husband died during tho < lvll war aa did two of her broth er m, and an only child died a numlier of years ago. Since the death of thla child she has made her hoiuc with Mr. Sullivan, a grandson. They have resided In Greenville for severul months, coming here from Piedmont. At tho age of III Mrs. Tarrant Join ed the church. ladng converted at a tent meeting held near old I'lekens villa. On being asked If this whn where the present town of 1'ickoiu* sUhmI, Mrs. Tarrant was unahlo to way, hut stated that It was somewhere in Pickens county. This meeting was n camp meeting and people from all over the up|MM* part of the state came bringing their families, and staying for all the services, which hinted a week or two. Shortly after thla she united with the Uchohoth Mothcdlnt church and has heeu a member of that church for the past 84 years. At that time churches were ft- w ami far Ih? t ween and in 'id'iltton to her own church, Washington church, near Grove Creek and lllg Creek church In Anderson county were the 6illy houses of worship she knew of for a long time. t Mrs, Tarrant remeinlieia quite well the II rat train sin* ever saw. > It waa at WllliauiHton. although alio does not recall the exact year. She, with others of the neighbors hoarded the at range vehicle and came to "town" ? oa they then designated Greenville. However, she aaya only flattery could induce one to call the now thriving city of Green vllle a town at thut time aa It waa merely a village. Her recollection is that the business houses., those few, that were very scattering Hind their stia-ks were very incomplete, carrying >nly such articles as the i>eople eouUJ, not raise or make In their own homes. Mrs. Tarrant believes that she owned the llrst. cook -stove ever brought to Greenville county. She said an agent had been in the community for several lavs attempting to sell the rural folk ? stove but they were all a bit doubt ful and preferred to go on with the >hl oven and skillet then In use. Fin ally she said the agent njade the sale >t her home, and came in to show how 'ii use it. "I did not know," she said, "whether he was going to tire up or ?rank up hnt he helped me and finally ' got started. I remember 1 did not ?Make much of a success of, my first -attempt and lie helped cook the first meal ? as well as to help eat it." she | ?dded with a smile. Mrs. Tarrant enjoys good health ??nd it is not an unusual sight to see .'?or on the streets some distance from ] 'mm* homo.
