TATE j REVIVES HISTORIAL EVENT ?? 1 Editor Union Times: . The writer was called recently to t pay the last tribute of Christian respect to the memory of I)r. H. B. Tate, widely known and tenderly loved < by those who knew him best and es- 1 pecially by the people in that large ' scope of country from Pacolet to Gaff- ' ney, S. C. The remains were carried 9nmo * L O .juiiiv iintcii iiiucd iiuiu i ruu^n, o. i C., to within something: like eight miles of Gaffney and laid to rest in ] what is known as Whig Hill Cemetery, the name and circumstances aroused the writer's interest and, in consequence, I came across the fol- . lowing tragic but intensely interesting Revolutionary history, that is of pe- ] culiar interest to your readers, as I understand, Whig Hill Cemetery, is r in what is called the Timber Ridge ' Section of Cherokee county, and which j was not in the very distant pasts# 1 part of Union county, and this with j the fact that you and your readers I seem to be very much interested in all matters of history pertaining to * Revolutionary times led me to secure from Doctor Tates' family the incident of history which is written in ' verse for yon and your readers. The fact that the martyr of the story is ' the paternal ancestor of Doctor Tate, i and was possibly the first person bur- 1 ied on this spot, and the circumstances < surrounding his death by the Tories ] being responsible for the name of the cemetery lends it special interest. The story in verse is attached. Very truly yours, ] L. L. Wagnon. JOHN NUCKOLLS. j By Miss Lucia B. Cook. ] (A true story of my great-great- j great-grandfather). Two riders came up over the hill, Each had a sack t.hev were takine to mill? \ John Nuckolls, planter and patriot bold, j And little Dicky, ten years old. When they reached the mill the hour was late, ' The miller was busy and said they must wait, * So he showed them a room to rest in till morn, When he would have time to grind * their corn. ^ The moon peeped in at the ivy vines, 1 The breeze excitedly tossed the pines. J Did they know that one then sleeping still ' Would soon lie dead beyond the hill? ( The Tories not far away at a ball Were singing and dancing and merry all, My lady was there with charming grace, 1 Her high-heeled shoes and pretty face. ( They had seen John Nuckoll mount the hill And stop at the Tory's busy mill. ' A surly Red-coat with powdered wig Went to the miller and called for the ' "Whig." Soon other Tories joined the first, r And darkly planned to do their worst. Little Dick was asleep. John Nuck~ii~ .... vriio tunc And hurriedly slipping on his clothes, ' Was dragged from the room without f a cry; But he begged to give Dicky a last good-bye. , The Tories laughed and replied in scorn; 1 "If you touch him he dies before the t rrtorn." i O, terrible fate to fall in the hands c Of one of those merciless Red-coat } bands! t The woods looked weird on that quiet i night, 1 \nnual < F = IG CO.

On to the mirth of the merry ball Went the Tories, joliiest of them all, Gracefully joining in the dance ' In their long striped stockings and short knee pants.
