| Rowland Reunion, Keowee Courier 1899 |
Can you imagine having fifty-five grandchildren and thirty-five great-grandchildren? Wow! My paternal grandmother, known to me as Granny Gunter, was one of their great-granddaughters, but she wouldn't be born for another twenty-two years after this reunion. I can't imagine how many great-grandchildren they ultimately had.
I look forward to searching through the various newspapers that are part of the Chronicling America program. This might prove to be a real sledgehammer against some brick walls that I'm facing in my genealogical research.
These are on my immediate list of things to look for:
1. Obituary of Oliphant Williams and hopefully his cause of death.
2. Anything showing what happened to Emma Williams (daughter of Oliphant) after the 1900 census.
3. Wedding announcement for Julius Jared Pressley and Carrie Williams.
4. Articles about our Gunter, McClendon and Williams families in Edgefield, South Carolina.
Be sure to check out the Library of Congress site: Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov to start knocking down some brick walls of your own!
Thank you, Kelly!
