Source: www.rootsweb.com/~scpicke2/deeds.html ************************************************************************** *************************************** This is the only mention of our Alonzo Folger possibly serving in the Civil War that I have found: (MGHB/2002) The following information is transcribed from an undated typewritten document including a letter signed Margaret Foster Limbaugh which follows. Portions of the document which pertain to individuals have been excerpted as biographical notes linked with that individual's Family Web page.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ "The following information is a record compiled by the daughter of Ransom Foster, Monetta Alice Foster Smith. This information and much more has been packed away in an old suitcase for years, some of it is over a hundred years old.
"There are letters from Ransom Foster, written to his wife Amanda, while he was in the Civil War. There is correspondence between Amanda and her brothers and sisters from the late 1800's up to 1934, the year that she died. One of the letters that Amanda wrote to her daughter, Monte, was written when Amanda was ninety-two years old. She lived to be ninety-five.
"Gail Speed, a great grand-daughter of Ransom and Amanda was lucky enough to get this material. Gail was trusting enough to loan it to me so that I might read and copy the bulk of it.
"I have found by searching the census records, and land transactions, that most of this information is correct. Anyone finding any mistakes is asked to notify me. I want as accurate account of my ancestors as possible.
"Margeret Foster Limbaugh, Route 4, Box 213, Easley, S.C"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ "Amos Forester, son of Isaac Forester and his wife Miss Elizabeth Justice, married Matilda Long. He and his wife were the parents of nineteen children. Amos died at the age of seventy nine years. After his death Matilda, his wife, and Matilda Forester Gillem, her daughter, moved to Tennessee. Matilda Long Forester died in Tennessee at the age of one hundred and five years old.
"Their children were brave and fearless they sent seven of their sons off to the Civil War. Three of the boys were killed, but four of the young men returned home at the close of the war. To begin the task of carving and building a new home for their families. The destructive Sherman rode through with his flaming torch, leaving many homeless mothers and children, after burning their homes and stealing their cattle, horses and about all their personal belongings.
"Amos' oldest child, Zilla Forester, married Anite Sheriff, seven years before the outbreak of the war. When her husband Anite was called to arms, she was left with four small children to care for. She did this admirably and fearlessly. The oldest child, Isaac Sheriff, was only six years old and the youngest, Marth Anite Sheriff, was just old enough to sit alone. Two little girls were born between Isaac and Martha. Laura was four years old, and Harriet was two years old.
"Zilla never faltered in her determination to feed and clothe her children. She went into the fields early and worked late, laying a pallett of sheep skin or a quilt to sit Martha on. When the weather was too cool to take the baby outside, she would leave her in the house on a pallett. She would raise the foot of the bed and place a portion of Martha Anite's dress under one leg of the bed to keep the child from creeping too near the fire, or crawling outside.
"Fire was always kept in the fire place year round because there was very few matches and this was the only source of cooking. There was always something cooking over the fire, a pot of beans, or dried pumpkin, or a stew to feed the hungry children.
"There was no coal oil for lighting in those days, so Zilla used pine knots for light when she came in after dark to feed her hungry little brood, and bathe, and put them to bed. Isaac and Laura were old enough to help her with washing the dishes and some of the minor chores.
"While Zilla would sew, darn, knit, or weave material for clothing, she would sit on a neatly folded stack of clothes to press them since there was little time for ironing. By leaving some things undone she would have time for her children.
"Zilla made her own material by carding the cotton, spinning the threads and weaving her own material. She made all her family's clothes by hand because there was no sewing machines then. The sewing was long and tedious for it all had to be done at night by dim light. Stockings had to be knit after dark also. But God blessed Zilla with strength and understanding. He also blessed her labors for in her smoke house she had meat, pork and beef.
"I have often heard Zilla say she boiled turnips, beets and weeds to help fatten her hogs. From her cows she had plenty of milk and butter. All male calves were kept for beef, while the beef was fresh she would have steaks, stews, etc. But the bulk of beef would be packed in tubs and salted down, when this process was finished the meat was cut into chunks. placed on hickory poles, and then hung in front of the fire to dry. From this they would have dried beef in summer and winter. She had plenty of corn but very little flour. The children loved corn bread and milk. Very often Zilla would make corn meal mush for supper.
"Yes, people had breakfast, dinner and supper in those days. In those days of heart break and toil, men and loved ones were being sent back home from the battlefield; some came home blind, others with a leg or an arm shot off, some dead.
"Anite Sheriff came home with one arm missing which was more tragic - he had come home on furlow the year before - he now had two more mouths to feed twin boys. Johnny Elford and Gadburry were the names he chose for them.
"Anite did not falter or give up. He went to work to help Zilla feed and clothe the children. He fastened a belt around his waist with a loop on it. Through this loop he would run the handle of any tool he was using to balance it, He managed to do a lot of chores, but there were some he just could not do, plowing was one. Isaac was old enough now to do some of the plowing and this relieved Zilla to help with many other things. Together they managed and were admired by all their family and neighbors."
"Zilla and Anite had two more children, James Redmond and a girl, Georgan. They all grew up to be well-respected men and women."
"Isaac Forester, was the first son of Amos Forester and Matilda Long. He married Catherine Fuller. They had two children, Luther and Lula Forester. When the Civil War broke out, he joined the conflict and lost a thumb, which was shot off. He was sent home on sick leave while his thumb was healing, but our side was suffering loss so badly, he felt it his duty to go back to his company before his thumb was out of danger. His hand became infected, blood poisoning set in and killed him. He died and is buried at Franklin Tennessee."
"Benjamin Forester (Berry), was the second son of Amos Forester and Matilda Long. He married Sue Nickson in 1863. He also served four years in the Civil War. Shen he returned home from the was, he and his family moved the Hartwell, Georgia, in Hall County. He made his home on the Tugaloo River near the fjord (sic). He raised a large family and died there in 1097 or 19008, his wife having died some years earlier, after having suffered for years with that dreadful malady, Cancer."
"Alexander Forester, was the third son of Amos and Matilda Long. He married Sarah A. Phillips. They had a son, John D. Forester, who died while he was quite young. Their second child was only five weeks old when Sarah died from exposure. The baby soon followed her to her grave. After they died Alex joined the Civil War and was killed at Vicksburg."
"Amos Forester Jr., was the fourth son of Amos Forester and Matilda Long. His first marriage was to Terissa Smith. They had two sons Harrison Forester and Jules Forester.
"Harrison Forester, son of Amos Forester and Terissa Smith, was a very intelligent, educated, self-made man. He was Magistrate of peace. He served several terms in the State Legislature from Anderson County. In his later years he lost his eyesight because of catoracts (sic). He married Mamie S. ????. They raised a large family.
"Jules Forester, son of Amos Forester and Terissa Smith, married Sallie Johnson, had a nice family and live in or near Anderson, S.C."
"Amos Forester Jr. son of Amos Forester and Matilda Long, married the second time to Huldy Tripp. They had one son, Henry, who died at the age of eleven years and one daughter, Sally Forester, who married a distant cousin ???? Hamby."
"Ransom Forester, fifth son of Amos and Matilda Long, born October 1839, married Amanda Mellvina Jones on August 18, 1861. He was in the Civil War for four years, serving eighteen months as a prisoner of war in Elmira, New York. At one time his fearlessness and bravery was the talk of his company."
"At Camp Garrin, near Charleston, S.C., on March 8th, the officer called for a volunteer to light the rosen and coal oil barrels so the battle might continue through out the night. No one responded to the call. Then a second call came. Ransom Forester was sitting with some of his comrades by a campfire when the second call came. Still there was no response. Random picked up a fire brand and walked out on the battle field. Among a hail of bullets from the Yankies (sic), and the Rebel yell from his comrades, he went from barrel to barrel touching each until it had ignited and all barrels were lighted. He then returned to his seat with his comrades. For this courageous action he was commissioned to the rank of Corporal the next day.
"In a letter he wrote home to his wife Amanda, he commented about his promotion saying, 'I am glad of the promotion because I won't have to stand guard any more.' It seemed that all soldiers dread standing guard.
"Ransom had intended to join the cavalry when he went into the war, but he changed his mind and went into the infantry. He owned a fine horse named "Addican," a bridle, saddle, and saddle bag. When he changed his mind about the cavalry, he sent Addican and his gear home to Amanda. Dr. Lonzo Folger, a close friend, decided to join the cavalry. He told Amanda he would trade her sixty acres of land in Old Pickensville for Addican and his gear. Amanda talked the deal over with her father, Jessie Jones, whom she was living with while Ransom was in service. He advised her to make the trade as she had no use for the horse. Land was very cheap and horses were very valuable because of their value in the war. The sixty acres of land is situated where Easley Cotton Mill now stands (now Woodside Mill).
"Amanda's father carried her to a notary the next day and had all the necessary papers drawn up. This land became their home after Ransom returned from the war in 1867, until 1872, when he sold his place and rented for about a year. He then bought one hundred twelve acres from William Murphy, in Brushy Creek Township in Anderson County, S.C. He moved to this location in 1873 and lived there until his death April 7, 1916, at the age of seventy nine years. Amanda lived to be ninety five years old. She died January 14, 1934. She and Ransom are buried at Bethesda Methodist Church at Powdersville in Anderson County of South Carolina. Ransom and Amanda raised a large family of nine children, giving each of them a home, or the equivalent in money."

Folger, County Treasurer and Pickens Postmaster, and his kinsman, James B. Newbery, were operating a lumber mill and a cotton gin on Town Creek, one and one-half miles from the courthouse."
Among the appointed positions for the new Pickens County, Governor Scott appointed Republican Alonzo M. Folger for County Auditor.
"County Republicans (of Pickens), meanwhile, were keeping a collective low profile though it was noted that Auditor Alonzo M. Folger had attended the State Republican Convention in April. Folger at that time was beginning a term on the town council, which was comprised of a curious combination of Democrats and Republicans."
Concerning the 1876 local elections and after the Republican convention in mid-September of that year, Alonzo M. Folger made the statement "that he did not believe that there was 'any man in the County foolish enough to offer himself as a candidate on the Republican ticket,' and the 'Greenville News' had earlier remarked that 'no pickings' were left for the Radicals in Pickens County."

I shut my eyes to the outside world and thought silently and seriously of the grand step you have at last decided to take. While it grieves me sorely to give my dear and only sister up to the man of her choice, I don't know of another one I would more willingly trust her future happiness with and God grant that you may make his and your life a continued honeymoon to be concluded at lifes end. You have lived twenty seven years to be a comfort and blessing to us all and it is hard of so hard to give you up. I have never realized until tonight as I sit alone in our little and look around and see so many little articles made by your dear hands, how devotedly I love you and what life is to be without you. But Jim is one that knows your worth and I have no fears but what he will always love and cherish you until his dying day. so I now reluctantly and yet confidingly acquiesce to Jim's long pleading prayer for it is a duty and happiness that I intend following that is to love and make some good worthy man happy some day in the far future. If God is willing you have had ample time to study and know that this is the most important moment in your life and by this wise decision I pray you may never regret it, but be thankful and happy for such a kind and devoted companion. With a heart full of love and best wishes for you future life. I have just finished taking my first big cry. Good night with many kisses. Your loving sister, Lyde ************************************************************************** *************************************** (About the Ladies' Auxiliary at the Easley Presbyterian Church, Easley, SC) "In 1925 the Auxiliary studied Home and Foreign Mission books, Stewardship, and the Bible. Mrs. J.E. Hagood was elected secretary. She was the principal spiritual leader of the spiritual side of the work." "In August, 1927, our present president, Mrs. W.W. Robinson, and our former president, Mrs. G.H. Mathews, agreed that the outstanding feature of the year was the spiritual development of the Auxiliary, and resolved to compare with the coming years. Grand total of collections and contributions for the year 1927 and 1928 was $1,123.00. Largest contributor was Mrs. G.H. Mathews, next Mrs. E.C. Martin and Mrs. Dora Hagood. Mrs. Hagood was born and educated in Pickens County as Miss Dora Folger. " Source: "Presbyterian Women of South Carolina" edited by Margaret A. Gist, Published by Woman's Auxiliary of the Synod of South Carolina, copyright 1929. ************************************************************************** *************************************** "Mrs. J.E. Hagood, Jr." "Our lives are determined by what someone has called 'our priorities', the things which we make our chief desires. And we must make a choice. We can have pride or humility, but we cannot have both. We can have a life of sin and selfishness, or we can walk the way of life with Christ, but we must choose one or the other. There is a highway and a low way, declares the poet, and we must weigh everything in the light of the way it leads. The things on which one sets one's heart may not always be the things that life will give, but they will determine the kind of person o0ne is. Hence the Lord's teaching concerning the supreme 'priority of life': 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.' Such a person is Miss Dora - she chose humility instead of pride; she chose to walk the way of Christ, instead of a life of sin and selfishness; she chose the highway instead of the low way; she sought first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." "Miss Dora was born and educated in Pickens County and has served in various capacities in the Woman's work of the Easley Presbyterian Church since 1903, at which time she became a charter member of the Ladies Aid. About 1906 she served as President while Mrs. Mathews was away. In 1920 the Ladies Aid was changed to the Ladies Aid and Missionary Society. Mrs. Hagood was missionary leader at that time, and also Supt. of the Primary Dept. Since 1934 Miss Dora has held the following offices: 1934-36, Sec. of Foreign Missions; 1936-38, Pastor's Aid Secretary; 1938-39, Sec. of Foreign Missions; 1939-40, Historian; 1941-42, Secretary of Spiritual Life; 1945-46, Historian." "Miss Dora has served willingly, faithfully and efficiently in all these capacities, always obedient to God's will, abiding in Him and bringing forth much fruit. Faithful service such as Miss Dora has rendered comes from the mystery of the life that dwells in Christ." "Apologies to Edgar Guest:" "Somebody said that it couldn't be done But Miss Dora with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn't, but she would be one Who wouldn't say so till she'd tried. So she buckled right in with the trace of a grin On her face. If she worried she hid it. She started to sing as she tackled the thing That couldn't be done and she did it.
Somebody scoffed: 'Oh, You'll never do that, At least no one ever has done it,' But she took off her coat, and she took off her hat, And the first thing we knew she'd begun it. With a lift of her chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, She started to sing as she tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and she did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you, But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off you coat and go to it; Miss Dora just started to sing as she tackled the thing That couldn't be done and she did it."

************************************************************************** *************************************** "I have vivid recollections of going for Sunday lunches and visits at the house in Easley across from West End School. Being the oldest grandchild, I can remember "Mammy" (Dora Folger), Uncle Trez (Alonzo Trezevant Folger), and Aunt Lyde (Lydia C. Folger) pretty well. We all remember Uncle Ed (John Edwin Folger) and his most interesting personality. He would often exclaim 'Hurrah for Nixon and Lodge' for no reason at all. (Nixon - Republican presidential candidate, 1960, along with Vice-Presidential candidate Lodge - MGHB/2002) I went for an overnight visit in that house once and don't think I ever went to sleep. It was a little scary for a five or six year old. I do remember being sent many times down the path at the back of the house to retrieve Vi, Jim Murphy and Gladys (black servants who were sisters. Jim Murphy continued on as the servant to Dora Folger's son Ben Folger Hagood and his wife Margaret until their deaths) to come help in the kitchen. Their mother was a gargantuan lady named Minnie who, I believe, was too big to walk. I had never seen anybody so big at that early age. Mammy was the epitome of a graceful and dignified 'souther lady', softspoken and very feminine. It hurts to go by that house now and think about the folks who lived there in their declining years. But, I do have great memories of a wonderful period of my life that involved those four individuals."
