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.,
