Home”, and the foundation for its compilation is the “diary*' of a granddaughter of John C. Cal houn whose mother was the fav orite daughter of Calhoun and his wife Floride Bonneau Calhoun and who had married Thomas G. Clem son. The baby girl was born Dec ember 29 1842 at Fort Hill, the Calhoun home, and was named for her two grandmothers, the first name seems to have been dropped later. The “Diary” of this daughter of Dixie covers the period from Jarf. L 1863 to October 24, 1866, years nlled \£ith momentous events in the history of the nation. At this period (around 1842) Calhoun was trying to retire from public life, but by 1843 he was again in poli tics, back in Washington, and was appointed Secretary of State by President Tyler. One of his first acts was to appoint his six foot, six inch imposing looking, French speaking son-in-law as diplomat to Belgium and the Clemson fam ily went to Brussels where they lived for seven years, returning after Mr. Calhoun’s death in 1850. Upon his return, Clemson was appointed head of the Agricultural department of the Patent office, and they lived in Maryland. When Floride was 14 she was sent to a boarding school in Phil adelphia conducted by her father's sister. She was a good student and with a brilliant mind made remarkable progress, showing a talent for art, proficient in Ger man, speaking French fluently, ex celling in piano and developing a really fine singing voice. The years following until 1861 she spent in visiting and enter taining in her home, with long visits to Grandmother Calhoun who waA.jprjiud to show off her pretty, talented granddaughter; then back to Washington during Presi dent Buchanan’s administration, where she attended large official functions and receptions at the White House. It was in 1861, just after her 20th birthday that she spent the Christmas ’ holidays in Baltimore with friends and began the “Diary”. This contains three full Narratives—her trip to Niagara Falls and Canada in 1863; the terrible journey that she and her mother made from Maryland to South Carolina in 1864; and the final illness of her grandmother, Mrs. John C. Calhoun. Their long and comfortless journey consumed 12 days by boat, carriage, rail road and cart over 500 miles from Maryland to Pendleton. Here she learned of the deprivations of the war and learned how to “make do”. She had seen her father and. brother go to war at the beginn-i ing; now her diary tells of her bro ther being a prisoner at Johnsons Island, Ohio, and of the many friends and relatives killed, wound ed or in prison. She also tells of the many deprivations as to food and clothing and that the word “substitutes” is on everyone’s lips, adding “I have become a great carpenter and cobbler of old and b.’oken things and do the tink ering and mending of the house”. “Oh, these are dreadful times to live in”. He brother arrived home in June 1865 from prison, having walked the last 80 miles. Her father arrived from Texas in July in a wagon, with only Confederate money and ten cents in silver. On October 26, 1866 Floride made the last entry in her “Di ary”, as she was leaving for visits with relatives and friends. The next year an attack of pneumonia County Native Died Monday Ninety Six.—Thomas Guy Mc- Kittrick, 72, retired farmer of the Cambridge section, died at his home Monday following a brief illness. He was a native of Newberry county, a son of the late James and Mary Workman McKittrick. He had lived in the Ninety Six area since -1935. He was a jnem- ber of the Grassy Fork Pentecos tal Holiness church. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Mattie Crowder McKittrick, two daughters, Mrs. Doris Balchin of the Cambridge section and Miss Ruth McKittrick of the home; 3 sons, Wilbur and Ralph Crowder, The oldest incorporated trade associabon in the country, the United States Brewers Association, was organized in 1862... the same year that left her with a chronic inf lama- byth of Ninety Six, and Thomas of tion of the lungs. However, on the nome; 7 grandchildren; and July 2, 1869 in St. Paul’s Episco- one brother, J. A. McKittrick, of pal church in Pendleton she was Mountville. married to Gideon Lee of New York, an older brother of one of her former suitors. Floride Isabel la Lee was born in May 1870, but her fond mother lived only until July of the following year and is buried in the Lee plot in Raymond HB1 cemetery*.Carmel, N. Y. Just 18 days after Floride’s death, her brother, Calhoun, last surviving child of Thomas and Anna Clem son was killed in an accident on the Blue Ridge railroad. Thus ended the short but many-sided life of Floride Clemson. Her “Diary” shows her at times to have been strong-willed, critical, and some times boastful, but these charac teristics were far outweighed by her kindness, compassion, loyalty, and devotion. That she was wise beyond her years is shown by the fact that as a 7-year old child living in Belgium she took her grandfather Calhoun’s motto for her own—“The duties of Life are greater than Life itself”. The dedicated seriousness of this per vaded the rest of her short life. The members were loath to get down to business after the ab stract of this interesting book had been so delightfully presented by. Mrs. Baker. The minutes of the April meet ing were read by the secretary, Mrs. A. J. Briggs and approved. The president gave as information that some other contacts had been made by members of her commit tee relative to the Opera House, and an informative discussion fol- Mi m SYS lowed. Mrs. Wright, vice-president had a copy of a suggested consti tution sent out by the Division President, Mrs. Archie Watson, who urges every chapter not only to have a Constitution and By- Laws but to- go- strictly' by same in the conduct of a chapter. Mrs. Elmer Shealy reported all C. of C. dues paid to their divis ion and General C. of C. Also that Miss Cromer has resigned as lead er of the Elementary group, but with some one to help her with this group, the chapter hopes that she will reconsider. Mrs. Walter Summer and Mrs. Shealy were delegates to the Ridge District Conference. Mrs. Summer, as vice-dlirector, was as signed several duties on the pro gram. Both reported a good meet ing, and the two Newberry Chap ters invited the Conference for 1963. The Edgefield Chapter sent an invitation to members of the chapter and their friends to attend the annual Oakley Park# Basket Picnic on May 19. The program begins at 11 A. M. The President General, Mrs. Robert Bachman* of Washington, D. C. will be the speaker. The June meeting will be held at the country home of Mrs. E. E. Westwood on Tuesday, June 6. 1 IN SOOTH CAROLINA, the Confederates won the only two ^ «t>^§9jtl«rtd battles fought Id the state, first at Seceeskmville on ” James island and later at Old Pocdtaligo or Ydfnassee. The federal# lost 1,023 of 8,062 men engaged, and the Confederates 367 out of 1,875. Even then, beer was South Carolina's traditional beverage of moderation. Beer stiff provides en joyment for South Carolinians, and a good living for many of them — not only employees of the brewing industiy itself, but also for South Caro lina farmers and other suppliers of materials brewers use. i TODAY, in its centennial year, the United States Brewers Association still works constantly to as sure mairvtenence.Qf higb.
