Attempted Assassination.
Buchanan Banner.
Monday morning, a few moments after 11 o'clock, as Mr. W. J. Reeves, of Bremen, was on his way home, from his mill, and just after crossing a fence in the field, was fired upon by an assassin, who was concealed in a thicket only a few feet from the trail in which Mr. Reeves was wlaking. He was fortunately unhurt, and turned quickly, fired with shot-gun at the assassin, but being excited missed him. Mr. Cheney and others went back with Mr. Reeves to the place where the shooting was done, and found that every arrangement had been amde for concealment, and that a narrow trail through the brush had been cut from the place of concealment to where Mr. Reeves had to cross the fence and to the path he was walking in, which was only eleven steps. Tuesday Mr. Reeves swore out a warrant for Mr. John Cash, but the sheriff failed to find him.

Tuesday, February 16, 1904, THE MONROE JOURNAL (Union County, N.C.)

-Mr. J. Mace RICHARDSON, who formerly lived in Buford township and long enjoyed the reputation of a fighting man, died on Monday of last week of dropsy, in Lancaster county. He moved to that locality about four years ago from Rock Hill. A wife and six children survive him. The body was taken to Rock Hill and buried beside one of his sons. The Lancaster Enterprise says that Mr. RICHARDSON was “an industrious, upright and successful farmer of the Creek section.”

Feb. 10, 1904 - Lancaster Ledger - p. 3
Mr. J. M. Richardson, of the Creek section, died Monday from an abesess on the lung, caused it is supposed from injuries receieved by being thrown from his wagon by a runnaway team about two years ago. He was about 63 years of age and leaves a wife and six children. He had been confined to his home for several months. His remains were taken to Rock Hill yesterday for interment.

1904
- 63
=1841

This must be the right person. Even though, the informant of Esther's Death was "J. M. Richardson," and it listed her as married. J. M. listed as informant was probably her son.

A birth record for a Jack Bryan Richardson, born Jan. 18, 1898 in Rock Hill, SC, gives parents names as James Mason Richardson, deceased at 63, born in Union Co., NC, and Effie Evans age 69 at last birthday, living on Chesterfield Ave., Lancaster, SC.

James, Esthe are probably all buried in the Laurelwood Cemetery or the other two which are part of the Rock Hill Cemetery system. The records were destroyed in the 1910s, and until the 1940's or so, the records were not kept well, if at all.

James married Esther Helms ¹³ on December 14, 1859 in Union Co., North Carolina. Esther was born on January 11, 1843 in Union Co., North Carolina ¹³, died on March 7, 1927 in Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina, at age 84 ¹³, and was buried on March 9, 1927 in the Cemetery at Rock Hill, South Carolina.¹³

He delivered the colors to Colonel Wallace and was carried off the battle field. He has suffered a great deal since from the wound. He was a good, kind hearted, moral man and was liked by all who knew him. He was a son of the late James B. Reeves. He leaves surviving him a wife, one son three brothers and a sister.

The Lancaster News December 5, 1916

The death of Mr. John J. Reeves, which occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Minor Vincent at Kershaw, November 20, brought sadness to a large circle of reletives and friends. Mr. Reeves, who was in his 73rd year at the time of his death, had seemed to be remarkably vigorous for one his age till shortly before his last illness. He had been for many years a member of the Baptist Church and was a veteran in the War of Secession. He rarely missed a reunion, county, State or National, and was never happier than when enjoying the companionship of his old comrades in arms. Interment took place at Fork Hill Baptist Church the day following his death. The funeral being preached by his pastor, Dr. J.W.H. Dyches. Mr. Reeves is survived by three sons, Erasmus Reeves, James A Reeves, Oscar Reeves, and three daughters as follows: Mesdames Minor Vincent, Samual Vincent, and Grover Horton.

According to James Boyd, grandson on Sidney Reeves, son of Erasmus Reeves:
John was wounded at Gettysburg. My grandfather said he was shot in the back of the heel. They always kidded him that he must have been running from the Yankees to get shot there. He would get mad and said that he was chasing a yankee around a barn and the yankee overtook him. My grandfather said John was a dentist although he had no training to do this. He was probably someone people just came to to get teeth pulled.

The Lancaster News, July 1, 1913 mentions that John J. Rives went to attend a Great Reunion for survivors of Gettysburg.

The Lancaster News, July 7, 1914
Mr. J. J. Reeves, who has been spending some time in North Carolina, is at home again.

John married Rebecca Jane Cole in 1865. Rebecca was born on April 26, 1844 in Lancaster Co., South Carolina ⁶, died on August 13, 1909 in Lancaster Co., South Carolina, at age 65 ⁶, and was buried on August 14, 1909 in Fork Hill Cemetery, Lancaster Co., South Carolina.

General Notes: Possibly wife of Henry J. Gardner, born about 1854. Jane, wife of Henry, listed in the 1880 census, age 32. This matches Sarah Jane Reeves's birth date. Henry was still living in 1910. Found land transaction records which have the name Sarah Jane Gardner. She was the wife of H. J. Gardner. S. J. Gardner was alive in 1895.

Listed as J. C. Reaves on death certificate. Gives parents names as Jim and (?Hawkins or Hankey). Mothers name is hard to read. Sure it is an 'H.' The informant was Duff Mackey, so there is no question as to who this is.
Could Madison be a second middle name? Only reference I have is the 1870 census.

General Notes: Mrs. Taylor thinks William was buried at Fork Hill.

1900 census says b. Jan. 1851.
Living in 1910 - listed as first marriage to Jane
Living in 1920

Some think that Virginia was mother of William's children, but the census shows Eliza as the mother of house on the 1880 and 1900 censuses. Eliza Jane is listed as Jane on the 1910. M1 written for her and William under marriage status.

Death certificate gave death date, place, and father's name - Brady Reeves. Middle name is supposed to be from the family Bible.

William married Virginia Gay .^{2 2} Virginia was born in 1860 in South Carolina ² and died on February 27, 1936 in Gills Creek, Kershaw Co., South Carolina, at age 76 ².^,6

General Notes: Mrs. Laura Taylor believes Virginia is buried in the West Side Cemetery. Appears on none of the census records (1880-1920).

Children from this marriage were:

+ 179 F    i. Docia Reeves ² was born in 1871 ² and died after June 23, 1880.²

General Notes: Middle name supposedly from family Bible. Could she be Mrs. Dorcas Parker, wife of Durham Parker, living in Kershaw Co. in 1880? Mr. and Mrs. Parker were not on the 1900 in SC, so the death date fits with other known information.

Durham Parker (Son of Vincent and Martha Parker)

Checking the General Index to Real Estate Conveyances---Brevard County, Fla.---Grantors, I find that in 1901 LaGrange Cemetery (by Trs) deeded to J B. Chamberlain Lot 38 in LaGrange Cemetery. The deed is recorded in Book KK on page 52. There is an attempt by a dedicated few to reconstruct the records of this cemetery. According to the reconstructed records, those buried in Lot 38 are George F. Duren (1859-1935), George Foy Duren (1899-1990) and Julia Alice Duren (1863-1947). Are you aware of a connection between the Champerlain and Duren families? Since the lots in this section of the cemetery usually contain six graves it is quite possible that J.B., his wife and mother-in-law are buried in the other three unmarked graves.

George married Julia Alice Feaster ^10,22,23 about 1888 ¹⁰.^,22 Julia was born in November 1863 in Feasterville, South Carolina ^10,22,23, died in 1947, at age 84, and was buried in Lagrange Cemetery, Mims, Brevard Co., Florida.

General Notes: Like her husband who was three years her senior, Sallie was born during President Franklin Pierce's administra­tion. She lived in the Rich Hill Community of Lancaster County, S.C. Sallie attended the Rich Hill Elementary School. Although we know that her major occupation was that of homemaker and mother, we must not allow our­selves to forget that during her brief lifetime (1856-1889), the occupation required functions that were very laborious and time consuming and which are no longer part of being a homemaker and mother. For example, preparing for a meal was not as simple as we may think it is today. Firewood had to be brought into the kitchen and placed in the cook stove; water for meals and bathing was carried into the house in buckets - either from the well or a nearby spring; each summer and fall, fruits and vegeta­bles were hand harvested, then cleaned and prepared for canning which required hours of cooking over a hot stove in an already hot, humid kitchen. Twice daily the home­maker often helped care for and feed the domestic ani­mals - chickens, hogs, and cows - which provided the family with eggs, meat, and milk that were used daily. The family's clothing needs were filled by the homemaker who designed and sewed the dresses, shirts, pants, etc., which the family needed, and then she had to keep them in good repair. Laundering was no simple matter either. All of these activities were just part of the required work that necessitated mothers getting up before dawn. We can well imagine that a welcomed relief was briefly experi­enced when any holiday or Sunday approached as the routine hard labor slowed down; however, we know that for homemakers the labor didn't stop, but usually required more cooking than normal over the hot, wood, cookstove. Because survival was a fulltime job, with the exception of perhaps religious activities, adults had few leisure-time interests and activities that were merely pleas­ure oriented. At the time of her early death, Sallie was kept busy providing a loving home for five small children. Sallie was a member of the Baptist church.

By Rev. D. J. McMillan, December 7, 1876, Mr. Robt. S. Floyd to Miss Sallie E. Reeves, both of Lancaster county, S. C.

Sarah married Robert Sylvanus Floyd ²⁴ on December 7, 1876 in Reeves Home, Lancaster Co., South Carolina.²⁴ Robert was born on November 22, 1853 in Lancaster Co., South Carolina ²⁴, died on December 30, 1937 in South Carolina, at age 84 ²⁴, and was buried in Kershaw City Cemetery, Lancaster Co., South Carolina.²⁴

General Notes: Bob was born when Franklin Pierce was serving as the 14th U.S. President. He was only a small boy of seven when the Civil War erupted and was about twelve at its end. Being his parents' oldest child and a son, too; we can be sure that Bob served in a role of responsibility at home while his father was away serving in that conflict. Bob lived in the Flint Ridge Community as a youngster and attended the Flint Ridge Elementary School in Lancaster County, S.C. During part of his later life, he lived in the Kershaw area. He was a farmer and a firm believer in hard work, according to family members who remember him. As the requirements of his time necessitated, he was always out of bed before dawn ready for his day's work which included among many other things, the feeding of the cattle and horses at the barn, or (depending upon the season), he plowed, planted, or harvested acres of crops - perhaps some for his family's use and some for the market. Fences had to be mended, out buildings required constant maintenance as did the home; broken farm equipment called for his mechanical skills, and the normal operation of the farm required his keen managerial abil­ity. In his later years, Bob had become self-educated in agricultural laws and also served as president of the for­mer People's Bank of Kershaw. He was a Mason, and in religious faith, a Baptist. It was he who donated the land for the Center Grove Baptist Church, and he became one of its charter members.
