THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1922 MRS MARTHA BROCKINGTON SCOTT. Mrs. Martha Brockington Scott, wife of Dr. David C. Scott, died at her home in Kingstree at one o'clock Sunday afternoon, October 8, 1922. She was born December 6, 1859, the eldest daughter of Dr. John Fowler and Mrs. Elizabeth Scott Brockington. She and Dr. Scott were married December 11, 1884 and had four children: Helen, wife of William W. Boddie, and David Scott, Jr., of Kings- ] tree; John Heyward, who died in the i service of his country during the t World War, and Mary Elizabeth, who < died in infancy. Mrs. Scott left two surviving sisters, Mrs. C. K. Davis, of Marion, and Miss Italine Brockington, of Kingstree, and a number of nieces and nephews. i Mrs. Scott was descended from the ( Rev. William Screven, the Elder, who ? settled at Somerton in 1680, and 1 who was the father of the Baptist t church in the Southern states. She c was also descended from William 1 Brodkington, who settled on Black river in 1726; Roger Gordon, Hugh ? McGill, John Mathews, Samuel Tay- 1 lor, Nathaniel Drew, William Barr, ' Thomas McCrea, John Scott, Thomas Frierson, and Edward Plowden, who c were a.^ong the original settlers in } William burg in 1733. Through these ' men she received much of the best > in English, Scottish, and Irish char- 1 acter. Every drop of blood in her 1 had been South Carolinian and American for almost two centuries. She ' was also descended from Capt. Sam- s uel Taylor, aide to General Sumter, i John Scott, John McCrea, Samuel i McGill, Isaac Mathews, and Edward t Plowden, soldieirs in the American > Revolution on the American side, and ( from John Brockington, who remain- i ed loval to the Mother Country, and ^ served then as a captain in the Brit- s ish army. From the revolution until ? this time, her kindred have responded ] whenever South Carolina has called 1 its sons to war and some of them have given their lives in every struggle. 1 Mrs. Scott organized the Williams- < burg Chapter of the Daughters of i the Confederacy, was its first presi- 1 dent, and all the years has rendered 1 beautiful service in proclaiming the truth about the Confederate war. i She was the guiding spirit in the i erection of the Confederate Monument J which now stands at the junction of < Main and Academy streets in Kings- i tree. It was her special care to see < that fitting services to the Confeder- ; ate dead were held in Kingstree on i every Memorial day and that a Cross < of Honor was awarded to every Con- 1 federate soldier in Williamsburg who 1 merited that glorious distinction. 1 Mrs. Scott organized and was the first regent of the Margaret Gregg < Gordon Chapter, Daughters of the 1 American Revolution, in Kingstree, ] and was, at the time of her death, 1 promoting the marking of Indian ] trails and of revolutionary battle ] grounds in Williamsburg county. 1 Many years ago, Mrs. Scott began ] collecting historical data of Williams- ] burg and continued her labors urjtil < on/1 of V?ov llfo woe o mom- ' bite tuu VI ii?l lliVi ? M<4 ? ber of the Pee Pee Historical Society, 1 one who helped publish the second I edition of Bishop Gregg's History of j the Old Cheraws and contributed to ] the Addenda the Chapter on Wil- 1 liamsburg. She gathered a vast ( amount of the history and tradition of Williamsburg that otherwise might i have been lost. Due more to her than i any other influence, a history of Wil- 1 liamsburg is now being written. It j will be many years before the public ' will realize how much Mrs. Scott j contributed to local history and how < much patriotic spirit in this commun- s ity had its genesis in her. While ? she was deeply interested in the pa-t, i she saw everything in the present and \ worked where she was needed. Pos- \ sibly she never labored more earnest- j y and effectively in anything than e< rhen she was director of Woman's g rVoik for the Red Cross during the f< ecent World War and the Influenza w 'pidemic. lj Several of Mrs. ScotPs ancestors p lelped organize the Williamsburg T 'resbyterian church two centuries ago el ind her people have promoted this 1c >rganization for all these years, but t( 10 member of her family ever loved M nis cnurcn more, seiveu 11 wiui girui- ^ >r zeal, or accomplished more for it, e< ;han she. Outside of her home, her ! o< rhurch was her first care. What a iny woman could do in a church in'tl ill of its functioning. Mrs. Scott did. u She was a leading spirit in the Worn- tl in's Auxiliaries of the church for a w freat many years. In all of her T :hurch work, possibly none gave her ti nore pleasure than visiting the sick p ind aged gentlewomen of her church u ind ministering unto them. h Mrs. Scott was chairman of the s< Williamsburg Cemetery Association f< ind tireless in her effoits and sue- ir :essful in h6r undertakings in making n his ancient burying ground a fit dace for the ashes of the Williams>urg dead. She was, at the time of SI ler death, promoting the erection of i monument in this cemetery where w he Original Settlers of Williamsburg t< ie. Mrs. Scott was a homemaker. She oved her state and her church with E i love which few women have ever K felt, yet her home received her supreme devotion. She was regarded ^ is one of the best housekeepers in *'< Williamsburg. She loved flowers. E She brought rare specimens from nountain and seashore and from plain ind desert, and all the year some of hem were at their best. Among ler palms and ferns, geraniums and C oses, and about her magnolias, jes- T .amines, and pomegranates, her five ittle grand-children now are play- ^ ng. Some of her spirit will grow ? hrough these flowers into them and ;often and sweeten all their days. d E Shower at Rome. o: Rome, Oct. 10.?On Wednesday w ifternoon, October 4, the Rome Book \ Ulub entertained with a miscellaneous .hower at the home of Mrs. u. n.. n ?Vay in honor of Miss Annie Wilson vhose marriage to Dr. P.
