By Brent Holcomb, Pub. 1978, Reprinted, 2026, 190 pages, Index, ISBN #978-0-89308-110-2. Considering South Carolina did not keep official Vital Records until 1911, can make researching in SC a bit unique. To cover this gap, the researcher needs to consult newspapers as that missing source for data. Notices included in this book are from Camden, Kershaw District, Fairfield and also Chester, York, Darlington, Newberry, Marlboro, Orangeburg, and Charleston District; and the border counties of North Carolina, viz Anson, Richmond and Union. Notices of persons who removed to the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida are found. Obituaries from persons who served in the Revolutionary, War of 1812, Mexican and Confederate Wars are contained in this volume.
