BURIAL OF DR. 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

\nd the .-ad wind moaned when he
saw the sight,
\n innocent man who was brave and J
good
iVas meeting the Grim One alone in
the wood.
Cursed by the voices of wicked men.
Dragged all alone to a hidden glen?
To be shot at the dawning of day? ^
'Five minutes," said one when he
asked to pray.
\lone? Not alone. God heard his
prayer, ,
Fie saw the whole scene and was with j
him there.
iVhat a prayer! The woods took up j
the plea
\nd echoed it on from tree to tree.
For one brief moment the crowd stood j
quiet?
Then burst again into reckless riot. ,
'Bang!" went again; a soul was free,
\. body still, beneath the tree, .
? among the tangled vines
the dreariest place in all the pines.
Said one, as he put on his highcocked
hat,
'I couldn't have shot him praying
like that." *
g
'Nor I," said the one who fired the (
gun?
'If I had waited till he was done."
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.
As they looked on this scene of mirth !
and fun,
Do you think they remembered the
quiet one?
I
Did the fiddler's music that filled the
air
Drown the words of a d^ing prayer? '
[ wonder if they could forgetAs
they gracefully joined in the
minuet.
Agnes Nuckolls stood in the door '
To await John's coming as oft before. 1
And his little pet dog, too anxious 1
to wait, i
Went barking expectantly to the gate,
imagine their sorrow when up the
road <
