M c C0RMICK MESSENGER McCORMICK, S. C. The third annual reunion of th~ Dusts family was held at McKen- drie church, Edgefield county, S. C., Saturday, July 25th. The ’morn ing session opened with devotional service. Old familiar hymns which were sacred to the hearts of the Il lustrious ancestors of this noted family were sung. Rev. W. L. John son, pastor of McKendrie, read for the scripture lesson the 12th chap ter of Romans. The business session was opened by Hon. D. A. G. Ouzts, president. In his effective manner, he pre sented the early history of the Ouzts family v and appealed for funds with which to make further investigation in Germany in re gard to Deitrich Utz, the originator of the family in this country. It ^ ' has been discovered that the Utzes, I Nicholsons and Dursts sailed from ^ Germany on the same vessel. Mr. Ouzts read a letter from Germany in reply to a letter of inquiry in re gard to the origin of the Utz fam ily. This letter stated that descrip tion of the books about the Utzes can be found in Vol. 73 in Who’s Who. Peter Ouzts II’s will which was written in 1828, was read. This will was very unusual in that it beautifully expressed the religious character of this early settler. Mr. Ouzts then presented a painting of the coat-of-arms which was adopt ed last year. From the October 1930 American Motorists Magazine, Mr. Ouzts reviewed an article en titled “The South’s Old Lutheran Church,” which was discovered that in the year 1717 a little group of German immigrants left the shores of their fatherland and set sail for a new country, with high hope that better opportunities awaited them in the wilds of Penn sylvania. They had a long and tragic voyage. Finally, the strong est of the group, now reduced to eighty in number, landed in Vir ginia. Being strangers without funds and stranded on foreign shores, they were sold to the Vir ginia Governor, Alexander ;3potts- wood. for the price of their trans portation. They became the , in dentured servants of the governor and were treated as such until, fol lowing several years of servitude, they made their pilgrimage to the present location of Hebron Luther an church, four miles from the lit tle town of Madison, the present county seat. Among them were families named Cook, Blenkenbak- er, Clore, Utz and Crigler. Today Madison has familes of the same names. Hebron church is located in the triangular little village bound by Robinson River and White Oak Run in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains; and, is only eight miles from President Hoover’s Rapidan fishing camp md ninety miles from Washington. II It is a spacious frame structure painted white and built 192 years ago by German colonists. Today i is a point of interest to all tourists ■ in that section of Virginia. Two things inspected with absorbed in terest by every visitor to Hebron :hurcii are the antique pipe organ .nd the unique communion service vhlch have been perserved sine 'efore the Revolutionary war. Moreover, i: is not only a temple ef worship, but also a nonumen to a sturdy and courageous people, who by persistent battling agains; terrific hardships on land and sea won a place for themselves in th New World. Mr. Ouzts effective^ concluded his speech with an urg mt appeal to the descendants o' these sturdy patriarchs to com jmemorate to their deeds and noble ! lives by preserving the record to b: j handed to posterity, j Interesting talks were given b} Mr. Luther Ouzts cf Tampa, F'.a who was visiting his home churcli for the first time in 40 years, and by his brother Mr. Leonard Ouzts of Winder, C-a. Reports were given by the finan cial committee and those who are writing the histories of the twelve sons and one daughter of Peter Ouzts II. After an urgent request ^for information to complete these records and for pictures of the twelve sons and one daughter and their wives and husband, the ses sion adjourned for dinner.

Mr. Salley stated that S. C. ranks second, Massachusetts first, in the U. S. in its historical department A re cent research worker from CaH- fornia highly complimented the beautiful manner in which the S. C. records are kept. S. C. records are the most beautifully kept records in the United States. There are deeds recorded in Columbia as early as 1670. Just previous to Sherman’s passing through South Carolina Col. Hunt persuaded the governor to gather these records Into a freight car and remove them ’.o a place of safety; thus they were preserved. Mr. Salley gave in his most interesting manner the history of how the white settlers came into possession of the land in South Carolina. He concluded us talk by saying that some of the most important sources for records ire the Parish records recorded vills, family bibles, newspapers and )ld letters and documents stored iway in attics. Miss Edith Ouzts loyally pledged her support in the collection of data and specific information which she will present at the fourth reunion. It was moved and carried that in honor of D. A. G. Ouzts that die association have bound the copies of “The Edgefield Advertiser” pub lished during his editorship. These mpies contain valuable historical material which will be preserved in the Edgefield library. A motion that each one consider himself as a committee of one to give or get $1.00 for the research work in Germany and that this money be sent to the president, .D. A. G. Ouzts, Greenwood, S. C., at an early date, ivas carried. It was voted that the officers and persons writing histories use every effort to press forward the completion cf the family histories and collect materials for the publi cation of the book by the next re union.
