Postmistress 39 Years
At Little Mountain
Miss Anna Elizabeth Boland, 65,
died early Sunday afternoon at
her home in Little Mountain. She
had been in declining health foi
the past five years and seriously
ill for the past year.
She was born and reared in Lit
tle Mountain and had spent her
entire,,life there. She was a daugh
ter of the late A. Noah and Martha
Miller Boland. She was educated
in the Little Mountain school and
was an active member of Holy
Trinity Lutheran Church, where
she was an active member of the
Women’s Missionary Society and
the Women’s Bible class.
She had been postmistress in
Little Mountain for the past 39
years. It was in September, 1888,
when Grover Cleveland was Presi
dent and Aser Knott was Post
master General, that her father
the late A. N. Boland, founder of
Little Mountain, opened the first
postoffice there in a corner of his
general store. As soon as his
daughter could reach the window
she began helping him to sell
stamps and distribute the mail.
In December, 1914, when Wood-
row Wilson was President and Al
bert S. Buhleson was Postmaster
General, “Miss Anna,” as every
body calls her, received her ap
pointment as postmistress at Lit
tle Mountain.

MARKING DEVICES foi
business and private
The office continued to grow
with the town and now housed in
its own building near the depot.
In September, 1944, it became a
third-class postoffice. At that time
Franklin D. Roosevelt was Presi
dent and Frank Walker Post
master General.
Through the years “Miss Anna”
has been on the job every day.
Kind, accommodating, witty, gen
erous, she has countless friends
among both races. Many are the
packages she has retied or rewrap
ped tor those who didn’t realize
the treatment a box might receive
before it reached its destination.
Many are the letters she has ad
dressed for those who didn’t know
how to get all that “soldier stuff”
on an envelope. Her good deeds to
the public have been numerous.
The poet could have had her in
mind when he said:
In her work as postmistress,
she served her community with
accommodating kindness “beyond
the call of duty.”
She never turned down a can
vasser for the Red Cross, Cancer
Drive, Christmas Seals and like
charities, but gave generously and
cheerfully.
She supported the church with
quiet generosity, attending as
long as her health permitted.
Talented with the art of fine
needlework, she made paraments
for churches and priceless acces
sories for the home.
She kept open house at the old
Boland home where the family of
12 children had been reared. These
brothers and sisters and their sons
and daughters have been wel
comed back home on many occas
ions of joy or of sadness in the
large family circle.
She is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Albert Frey, Augusta, Ga.;
seven sisters, Mrs. C. F. Lathan,
Newberry; Mrs. D. E. Farr of
Little Mountain, Mrs. W. L, Eargle
of Columbia, Mrs. E. G. Locke of
Little Mountain, Mrs. William E.
Boozer of Columbia, Mrs. Grover
Page of Louisville, Kentucky, and
Mrs. Rhett Adair of Clinton; one
brother, Herbert A. Boland of
Charleston. Also a number of
nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday morning a 10 o’clock from
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
with her pastor, Dr. L. Grady
Cooper. Interment followed in the
church cemetery.
Active pallbearers were David
S. Matthews, Albert Frick, Carroll
S. Kempson, George M. Stoude-
mire, Murray Counts and John
Samuel Derrick.

Cookies and biscuits rise higher
and bake more evenly if you bake
them on cookie sheets without any

Pans with warped or dented sides
will beat more slowly than those
with perfectly level bottoms and

EHRHARDT—A 390-acre State Park on the Salkehatchie
River in the southern tip of Bamberg County marks the
site of a famous battle in thje War Between the States.
It was here at Rivers' Bridge on Feb. 3, 1865, that Con
federate forces, outnumbered more than 10 to 1, offered the
first opposition to Sherman’s Army after he crossed the
Savannah River and moved toward Columbia.
The Salkehatchie, half-a-mile wide at the spot, was over
its banks and out into the dense cypress swamps. The Con
federates had cut all bridges across the river’s channels.
Sherman’s men were unable to advance during the day,
but crossed above the Confederates late in the evening, and
the defenders were forced to retire.
Th Confederates lost 15 men killed, 44 wounded and 45
missing; the Federal counted 300 to 400 dead and about 25
wounded. The battle was short but as bitter as any fought
in South Carolina.
A Rivers’ Bridge Confederate Memorial Association was
organized in 1876 and has held annual meetings at the site
ever since. A monument was purchased and erected to the
Southerners who died in the action.
The well-appointed State Park lies six miles west of Ehr-
hardt and 12 miles south of Olar.
'The annual meetings of the Association at the Park draw
many of the state’s leading political, business and social
leaders. '
