County Home Demonstration History
(Ed. Note — Following is a
brief history of home demonstra
tion clubs in Newberry coui?ty,
The Smyrna club was the first
organized in the county having
been instituted in 1915. A write
up of its inception was carried
in the last issue of this nevtffc-
paper.)
SMYRNA CLUB
Smyrna Home Demonstration
club community is typical of out
lying communities in Newberry
County. The following farm enter-
prizes can be found in the com
munity: Grade A and C Dairies,
broilers and laying hens, beef cat
tle and hogs.
TRANWOOD CLUB
In 1916 Tranwood club was or
ganized with eleven members.
Through the years they have
grown and 31 are presently enroll
ed.
Not only can Tranwood boast of
fine and attractive farms but also
other business enterprizes such as
community garage, general mer
chandise store, poultry dressing
plant and a turkey farm.
The first County Council meet
ing was held at the home of one
of its present members. Miss Alma
Sease in the fall of 1921. Speaking
of the County Council of Farm
Women two outstanding presi
dents have come from this club,
Mrs. Paul Long and Mrs. Warren
Abrams.
About this time in the history
of Home Demonstration work the
Home Agents office was moved
from Prosperity to Newberry. Mrs.
Daisy Berrie Denning became
agent and “Miss Daisy" continued
the widening of contact in dif
ferent sections of the county.
MT. PLEASANT CLUB

around 1917. A young school teach-

er, Mrs. Annie Laurie Suber Suth

ment of the community was; in
strumental in getting “Miss Daisy”
to help organize this grdup.
ML Pleasant boasts of the old
est Club Member in the county,
Mrs. Minnie L. Caldwell. She is
93 years young. She has among
her souveniers many interesting
replies from United States Sena
tors. In her early years she began
writing letters for the betterment
of her county which included let
ters for rural delivery. Quotes from
Senator Ben Tillman’s letter: “It
will bankrupt the government to
have rural delivery." She has
often been called the Mother of
Rural Delivery. Miss Minnie as she
is called, is still working and writ
ing letters for the betterment of
the community. Her latest project
to get rural telephones in that
section.
POMARIA CLUB ' fc -
Pomaria Home Demonstration
club was also organized by Miss
Willie Mae Wise Young around
1919. Clemson College being in
terested in improving and making
more attractive rural homes gave
fertilizer and seed to interested
club members for use in their own
; home grounds. Pomaria, boast of
the county winner in this pro
ject, Mrs>. D. L. Wedaman, Sr.
All but one charter member
(*who is no longer enrolled) is de
ceased.
Being interested in all phases of
work, Pomaria club members par
ticipate in the County Fair, er
rected a roadside park and plant
ed shrubbery at the local school.
TRINITY CLUB
The Trinity Home Demonstra
tion club was also organized by
Miss Daisy. Five of the present
12 members are charter mem
bers. Mrs. Hattie Hendrix, Mrs. M.
J. Hendrix, Mrs. J. C. Waldrop,
Mrs. M. B. Hendrix and Mrs. Leo
Davenport. One of the first Coun
ty Council Presidents, Mrs. Sallie
Paysinger (deceased) came fronv
this group. Trinity club membera
can always be counted on in all
council projects and striving daily
to make their community a better
place in which to live.
About 1921 three other groups
Silverstreet, Vaughnville and ML
Bethel Garmany came into exist
ence.
SILVERSTREET CLUB
From a small group of 15 mt
hers in 1921 Silverstreet club has
grown to he one of the largest, 35
members, in the county.
Before 1921 the home agent
went into the homes showing the
women of the comlmunity how to
produce and conserve food for the
family. In order that more and
better information might be given
it was decided to organize a club
at Silverstreet.
Not only v has Silverstreet fur
nished the county with excellent
leadership with Mrs. B. O. Long as
County Council President but al
so the state has been benefited
from fine leadership here. Mrs.
Long has also served on the Ex
ecutive Board of the State Council
of Farm Women as member at
Large. Several years ago she was
voted a State Master Farm Home
maker.
Also contributing to state lead
ership has been .Mrs. J. H. Long as
she served as secretary of the
State Council of Farm Women.
VAUGHNVILLE CLUB
In August of ’21 the Vaughnville
club was organized with about 10
members. They met at the school
weather permitting under the
shade trees. Mrs. Daisy Berri Den
ning was the home agent at that
time.
Describing some of their meet
ings Mrs. Minnie E. Brooks a
charter member says that club
members quiet often brought a
picnic lunch. Following a morning
of instruction and a bountiful
lunch the girls met. They were
known as Junior Home Demonstra
tion club.
MT. BETHEL GARMANY CLUB
A little more than a month later
the Mt. Bethel Garmany club was
organized: On roll at the present
time are 5 charter members.
Strong has been the leadership
of the Mt. Bethel Garmany club in
council work. They boast of four
county council presidents: Mrs. S.
W. Browtn, Sr., 1924-26; Mrs. E. H.
Moore (deceased) 1927-29; Mrs.
Raymond Nichols, 1950-52 and Mrs.
T. P. Crooks, 1952-54. Other mem
bers of the club have served the
council in other offices and de
partmental chairmanships also.
Club members in speaking of
their community point with pride
to the large recreational area,
doctor, teachers, growing dairy
and a thriving granite industry.
ST. PHILLIPS CLUB
In 1921 the St. Phillips club was
organized with about 20 members
on roll. This club now has a total
membership of 30. In reporting
what their club has meant to them
they point to signs of improve
ments such as attractive homes
and surroundings and conveni
ences which make farm living even
more w'onderful.
In 1925 “Miss Daisy" married
and “Miss Ethel" returned to the
county to serve as County Home
Agent for about 25 years.
NEW HOPE ZION CLUB
At New Hobe Zion in the fall
of 1924 Mr. E. H. Aull then County
Supt. of Education, met with a
group at the local school house to
beautify the school grounds and to
plan to obtain additional equip
ment for the school such as piano,
song books, etc. In other words
this group began as a school im
provement association.
Miss Ethel Counts, Home Dem
onstration Agent, worked with the
group advising on all phases of
work. They finally decided to
emerge into a Home Demonstra
tion club.
During World War II this group
disbanded because of gas ration
ing but reorganized in 1945.
A member, Mrs. T. L. Crooks,
has been recognized as a State
Master Farm Homemaker.
HARTFORD CLUB
During 1926 8 ladies of the Hart
ford community met at the local
school for the purpose of organiz
ing a club. Since that time it has
grown. Through the years the
school building has been the
clubs center of interest.
Since the school reorganization
program was put into action the
community purchased the build
ing. All groups in the community
are working to removate it into
a community center. *
In the community are dairy
farms, green house (largest orchid
farm in the state) service stations,
grocery and building supply places.
BUSH RIVER CLUB
Twenty-four years . ago a group
of women of the Bush River com
munity and met at the home of
Demonstration work in the com-
njunity an dmet at the home of
Mrs. R. E. Livingston, Sr.
With determination in their
hearts they have supported the
club through the years and by
their efforts have contributed ex
tensively to the welfare of the
community.
National recognition has come
twice to this community and to
one family, The I. M. Smith, Jr.'s
and the C. T. Smiths’. Both have
been recognized as Master Farm
Families.
Mrs. I. M. Smith, Jr. has not only
served her county as County
Council President but* also her
state as President / of the State
Master Farm Homemakers Guild.
Through the years clubs have
continued to spring up so to speak
over the county.
O’NEAL CLUB
The O’Neal club was begun
around 1947. It’s membership has
varied only slightly. Compared to
some of the other groups O’Neal
is still a young child.
JOLLY STREET CLUB
Jolly Street’s present club was
reorganized around 1949. Jolly
Street community had had a club
but for reasons beyond control had
disbanded. Mrs. W. B. Boinest is
serving her second term as presi
dent.
FRIENDLY CLUB
An urban community of New
berry became interested in Home
Demonstration work in 1950. Miss
Counts helped the group to organ
ize into a Home Demonstraton
club.
This club has a problem that
other clubs had not faced since
other clubs automatically assumed
the name of the school community.
The name chosen for the urban
club was the Friendly club. In its
short history it has not only
lived up to Its name but has fur
nished the council with an able
secretary, Mrs. Homer Epting.
JALAPA CLUB
Jalaj^a community members be
lieving the council creed that
“Ones Community may become
the best of communities decided
their own community needed a
Home Demonstration club. In ordef
-to interest more ladies the Jalapa
women who were at that time
members of Tranwood club with
drew from that club to organize a
club in the immediate Jalapa com
munity. Jalapa club became a part
of the council in 1950.
In 1951 “Miss Ethel" retiring
from Extension Service but not
from club work and Mrs. Jane
Winn Floyd going into Farmers
Home Administration work the
present Home Demonstration
Agent, Miss Margie Davis, came
to the county. Working with her
for a short time was Mrs. Virginia
Dantzler Lovelace. Mrs. Barbara
Q. Brown joined the staff in 1952.
Within the last council year the
number of clubs has rapidly in
creased with the addition of three
community groups, Little Moun
tain, Macedonia and Beth Eden.
This is not a complete history
but from the information on hand
one can see the history and herit
age of the council and Home Dem
onstration work in Newberry
County is rich and has meant a
great deal not' only to the county
but to the state as a whole.
