I History of Quaker Cemetery I t> (By Sadie Kennedy vouTresckow) The Quaker cemetery at Camden. South Carolina, wan kuowu lu the old annals as "The Quaker Burying Ground," has become of renewed interest lately since the cemetery association has beeu revived and the writer has been asked to give a short history tf it. Of course "Historic Camden" part one, is our chief source of information and much of the following luteroatiug and quaint data la copied therefrom. As far as the authors could ascertain from the earliest grants, it was lu the fall of 1761 that the Hrat band of Quakers or "Friends" catne to the site of Camden by way of the Wateree river. One-halt of the Quakers seem to have settled in' West Wateree. However, their meeting house and graveyard were established on the eastern side, on a spot within our present cemetery inclosure and within the limits of Camden. Samuel Wyly, in 1759, made conveyance to them of four acres, for the purposes of which the following Is a part copy, necessarily annotated: "This indenture, made the 6th day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand, seven hundred and fifty-nine and in the thirtythird year Of the Heign of our Sovereign, Lord George the Second, of Groat Britain, France and Ireland, King. Defender of the Faith and so Forth." ** Between-Samuel Wyly and Timothy Kelly, Samuel Milhous and John Milhou8, etc., witnesseth that tho first named for several enumerated considerations "hath devised, granted and to forever left the four acres for the use and In trust for the aforesaid people called Quakers... .together with all and singular the houses, buildings, woods, well, water ways, paths, passages, easements, profits, commodities, advantages, herediments and appurtenances whatsoever, etc., etc., (By which it will be seen that Camden and the cemetery association Inherited a complete heritage) life and death sovereignty as Jt were! "To have and to hold the said tract of four acrea of land . . by the said people called Quakers . . . I for and during the full end und ex- | piratlon of 999 years, thence next ensuing und fully to be completed and ended." . . Yielding uud paying therefor yearly during the said term unto the suld Samuel Wyly, 1?1h helra | and assigns, the rent of one Pepper | coin in and upon the first day of | August every year If the sumo ahull be lawfully demanded. Kach party of Trustees guaranteed the other In trust for "the -people called Quakers" the premlaes'^wlthout | Lett, Trouble, Hindrance, Molestation,1 Interruption and Denial." Other Trustoea could be appointed lu place of those named so that the same number of Trustees could be always kept up. Near the western end of this four , acre tract the Meeting llouae was built?or had already been built In 1759. The small plot reserved for the burial of Quakers waa surrounded by a ditch which is utterly obliterated, but the Hobklrk Hill chapter D. A. R. j has erected a boulder near the spot. Meeting street probably gets its j name from the fact that It led up to j the Meeting House. There Is among the records in clerk's office of Kershaw county, book 1, pago 184, a diagram of the cemetery distinctly showing the Quaker cemetery and the land purchased by tho Town of Camden from Thomas Adams and Dinah, his wife, 1st August, 1795, and a parcel of laud purchased from John Kershaw .September 11, 1799 and the portion convoyed by Wlllliam Wyly Long to Town of Camden, November 15. 1832. v The Quakers did uot believe iu auy form or display, therefore ' never erected monuments and usually marked their graves by a mere "arching of bricks." Cromwell said of the Quakers, "They are a people whom I cannot wlu with gifts, honors, offices or places." Many of these first settlers of Camden. The encyclopedia Britannlca defines the word "Quaker" as a "curt name applied in derision" to the members of the Society of Friesds, used as early as I 11647 because of "religious emotions1 I shown physically by some members of the sect." Perhaps It was for this reason that throughout the old grants and deeds of Samuel Wyly they are designated a? the "People called Quaker's-with a capital P. They preferred being" called "Friends." The next Interesting old deed concerning the cemetery Is In the liuudwiitlug of Joseph 1). Duulap, Intendentj and signed by him. the 20th October, 1874, probated the same day ?recorded same day In Hook CC, p. 689. This deed, Town Council to II. M. I/OtiK, president cemetery association Is listed on outside of the deed from Intendeut, 20 October, 1874, abstract and extract, burying place for the white cltlsens of Canulon and so forth, uud to have the solo control and management, not contrary, to the condltons hereinbefore set forth. The cemetery has been considerably Increased In size sluco then as witnessed by deeds: "Town Council | of Camden to cemetery association? 99 years lease dated May 12, 1877? Deed of City Council of Camden to cemetory association tiled November 6, 1915, and recorded In Book A. M., puge 578?a square of town lots north by Meeting street; oast by Church street; south by Wateroe street and west by Campbell street, and a deed to the coinetery association 2nd day of May, 1915, that lot at the south end of Church street, formerly used as a meeting house lot and burying | grounds by the Presbyterian congregation of Camden tiled tho 6tli duy of November, 1915, recorded and certified by J. H. Clyburn, clerk of court. Theso two latter deeds ombraco all land on the south aide of Meeting ; stroot up to the Evergreen Nurseries.
