Numbered among a young woman's friends who was living temporarily in Pickens by the name of Ida Bradley , was "Mrs. Emma Bruce, widow of Sydney Bruce, and her children. J. McDuffie (Mac), Minnie Lee, Julian, and Corrie. Ida thought highly of Mrs. Bruce, with whom she shared mutual Georgia friends, and Mac and Minnie, closest to Ida's age, were treasured companions. Originally from Old Pickens, Mrs. Bruce moved her family from Georgia to Pickens Court House in 1878 and first lived in the W.M. Hagood dwelling on North Lewis Street, across from the James E. Hagood summer home. On the corner next door, Mrs. Bruce's brother, McDuffie Alexander, and his wife still operated the Hotel, living there with two young sons, Claude and Eugene."

Alexander
The many friends of P. McD. Alexander will learn with deep sorrow of his death which occurred at his residence at Pickens C.H., on Sunday, the 1st instant, from pneumonia.
Mr. Alexander was a native of that part of Pickens District now known as Oconee County, and on the division of the district in 1869 removed to New Pickens. His father, Pleasant Alexander, was a Sheriff of Pickens District and one the leading citizens of the Court House town. Early in the war deceased, though of delicate constitution, volunteered and entered the army as a private in Company A., "Orr's Regiment of Rifles," and served through the war with credit to himself and his country as a brave and conscientious soldier. Soon after the close of the war he married Miss Mary Hagood, eldest daughter of Col. James E. Hagood, once Clerk of Pickens District, and settled at New Pickens where he resided to the time of his death, keeping the Pickens hotel for a time and afterwards engaged in the mercantile business. In both callings he was a success and has been esteemed as a trustworthy man and valuable citizen. His old comrades in arms from this county will hear of his death with profound sorrow and his loss as a useful citizen will be felt in his adopted county. We think he was about forty-seven years of age and leaves a wife and two children surviving him. He was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. His burial took place on Monday, the 2d instant, at the Hagood family burial ground at Twelve Mile, in Pickens county.
Mr. Alexander had been in declining health for years, but by prudence kept up and active in business. His last sickness was attributed to exposure to wet and cold in returning from Easley to his home, having been absent on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Symmes, who was very ill in Greenville. The Greenville News, speaking of this, has the following: "In this connection a sad coincidence is related. Several years ago Mrs. Lawrence, of Seneca, a sister of Mr. Alexander's went to Pickens to visit her sister, Mrs. Folger, who was seriously ill, and who afterwards died. Mrs. Lawrence took the same ride from Easley to Pickens in circumstances like those of Mr. Alexander's trip. From the effects of a cold caught that day Mrs. Lawrence died at her sister's house, and within three hours of her sister's death. The three, brother and two sisters, met their death under strangely similar circumstances."

Portion of another newspaper clipping obituary, paper nor date named: ".............of the sweet spirit of Mrs. Alexander, the town of Pickens loses its best friend as well as its oldest native citizen, for Mrs. Alexander, in company with her father, Col. James E. Hagood, drove from Old Pickens, September 12, 1868, bringing the words of Pickens district with them, and called this home. It would be hard for one in this advanced civilization to conceive the possibility of abandoning a town, with its beautiful home and hallowed associations to move into an area far removed, only a dense forest, to have the vision of a new town and community with its possibilities for growth and happiness. Yet such was the courage of these earlier settlers, when, undaunted by the effects of war, they laid aside their personal feelings and with a bravery and fortitude which was the heritage of the true Southerner, they took up anew the duties of life. And their courage and fortitude-the happy outlook upon 'tomorrow' - the deep human sympathy and interest in persons around her, were the chief characteristics which marked her life and made a place for her in the hearts of their community. Her strong, active mind was ever busy evolving ideas for the betterment of the community, and the improvement of the town. Her interest in the churches and their welfare, unmarked by denominational lines, was ever foremost in her mind, for she vividly recalled the time when divine services were held in the court house and Rev. Fletcher Smith served as shepherd of the little flock, and when Sunday School was held in the office of the clerk of court. She saw the fulfillment of her prayers in modern, well-equipped churches. Daily her thoughts were centered in the school problems, for she had seen the school system develop from a small number, taught by the first teacher, Mrs. Spartan D. Goodlett, under a brush arbor, to the present brick structure, and was eagerly hoping for improved facilities. Mrs. Alexander served as the first postmaster of Pickens, the male population being disenfranchised after the war, and unable to hold office, Miss Mary Hagood was appointed postmistress. Mrs. Alexander was the eldest daughter of the late Col. James E. Hagood and his wife Esther B. Robinson, and was born at the plantation home of her grandfather, Col. Benjamin Hagood, a few miles north of Pickens, August 19, 1848. A few months later her father moved to the adjoining plantation, Twelve Mile, where she lived until seven years old, when Col. Hagood, having been elected clerk of court of Pickens District, kept the first Inn in Pickens, to acbanks(sic) of the Keowee. Here her young girlhood was spent and the story of life in that cultured old town with its refinement and wealth of Ante-bellum days reads like ........................................young womanhood's estate. The war's alarms were sounded and she threw her heart into its preparation, and suffered and sacrificed through the years of struggle. Again during the progress of the great World War, thought enfeebled by age and illness, she was busily alive to her duties and responsibilities as a patriotic American citizen, and she spent her time knitting and sewing and in teaching the younger generation these acts and principles of patriotism. On May 12, 1870, she was married to P. McD. Alexander, and again returned to Old Pickens to live, after having been here a few years. Within a few months Mr. and Mrs. Alexander returned to Pickens, bringing the house which they had purchased and having it re-erected in Pickens. In this hospitable home, now the residence of Mrs. N.E. Thornley, they kept the first inn in Pickens, to accommodate the visitors at the terms of court, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander contributed largely to the growth of their community and he was called home April 1, 1888, before being able to realize many of his ambitions for the town. Of this union two sons were born, Claude and Eugene, and they too were taken in the beauty of their young manhood. Mrs. Alexander was a sufferer for nearly fifty years, but as she lay upon her bed of pain and sorrow, for it seemed that nothing of Anguish and grief were spared her, her mind looked out upon the future, ever hoping 'tomorrow' would be brighter, exemplifying the teachings of her Saviour, helping, comforting, uplifting. As the shades of morning fell, May 9, 'God's finger touched her and she slept.' The beautiful funeral services were held at the residence on Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev. E.T. Hodges of Columbia, and Rev. Mr. Knox. Mr. Hodges' feeling remarks portrayed her as she was and the triumphant hymn "My Faith Looks Up To Thee," so sweetly rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, of Greenville, told the source upon which she relied. Her body was tenderly laid to rest in the family cemetery at Twelve Mile, six of her nephews acting as pall bearers. Beneath a mass of flowers sent by admirers from the Presbyterian and Methodist churches, the U.D.C. and other organizations, from loving kindred and friends who were present in large numbers, she sleeps to await the resurrection morn. home, town, friends, mourn her loss. The loved ones gone before have welcomed her to their and her eternal gain. As we leave her precious body neath the shadows of the mountains of her nativity, beside the graves of those she loved so well, let us be comforted with the thought, 'We shall go to her, but she shall not return to us' ." ************************************************************************** *************************************** Honorary member of the Pickens, SC Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.Source: "Recollections and Reminiscences", 1861-1865, pub.

Mr. Alexander died in a sanitarium in Asheville, N.C., where he had been in for about ten days in a quest of health, but all that could be done for him was of no avail.
Claude Hagood Alexander was a son of P. McD. and M.E. Alexander and was about 33 years of age. He was raised in Pickens and received his ealry training at the common schools here, later graduating at the College of Charleston. He read law in Washington and was admitted to practice but did not follow his profession.
A few years ago he was married to Mrs. Laura Hgood O'Neal, of Birmingham, Ala., and his wife and two children and his mther anod one brother survive him.
He was a young mand who had a large circle of friends and was universaly liked by all who knew him, and they, with heavy hears, will drop a tear to the memory of C.H. Alexander.
His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relativews.
It is sad at any time to stand beside the bed of the dying and watch life's ebbing tide drifting the loved one slowly, perhaps, but surely, to the great ocean of eternity. We can meet the pain of parting with some degree of fortitude; but the sting of death, in all of its agonizing features, bursts upon us in all of its horros when we part with a loved one in the rosy flush of life and receive them back in the cold embrace of that grim monster. Death. Noen but those who have sat in athe shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the dust has returned to the earth as tis was; the spirit has returned to the God who gave it.
The devoted boy who remembered his Creator in the days of his youth, ere the evil days came, or the years drew high when he sould say "I have no pleasure in the,' has finiished his course and reached th heavelnly goal while yet an infant in the race of life.
The last services were held at the home of his mother on Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock, Rev. J.F. Matheson offciating, and at 6 o'clock at the Hagood family burying ground the mortal remains of our friend and neighbor were lowered to his final resting place, to calmly await the reward of a just God.
To the broken-hearted mother, brother, wife and little children, who sit in sorrow where hsi footsteps shall never agin find echo, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. When they have drained the cup may the peace that passeth all understanding come to them from One who cares for each little sparrow that falls.
