Cherokee Agency East
Oct 10th 1830
Hon. C.A. Harris Commissioner HQ
Sir Having been engaged as attending Phys. Ch Em & not having received satisfactory compensation for my services I have thought proper to write to you on the subject. In Jan. last I received a communication from a friend in this place requesting me to repair forthwith to this Country informing me that the Supt. Ch. had told him to do so. I accordingly made preparation & set out on the 2nd day of Feb. having an afflicted family, abandoning a respectable practice & not withstanding I was much indisposed myself travelling through the mountainous Districts of N.C. exposed to the inclemency of the weather believing that I was in the U.S. service & I would get my pay accordingly, but to my disappointment I have received pay only from the time of my arrival at this place. In remaining in the service I have sacrificed my domestic happiness, exposed myself to many hardships & added to the distress of a family a part of the time afflicted and 400 miles from this section of the country.
Since I have been in the service I have been ordered to different posts, while some others (one of whom was in the service 12 months previous to my appointment) have not moved a mile. I have been sent to Arkansas, have hazarded my life on the Mississippi and Arkansas rivers in the months of June and July & there are several Physicians who have been in the service and have not been 25 miles from home. In making these requests I do not wish to be understood as casting any reflections on the Superintendent or Medical Director as I have ever been treated in a gentlemanly manner by those two gentleman and consider them justly entitled to my warmest gratitude.
I was 15 days returning from Arkansas for which time I received barely sufficient to defray any travelling expenses. I have been in the service about 6 months & now by an arrangement of Gen. Scott with an insidious pretended Indian Chief I am headed prematurely - from my office and another put in my place. I wish to receive pay for 16 days coming to this place and for 14 days allowed for my return to my practice at home.
Most assuredly sir my case is different from any other Physicians in the service. Nearly or quite all who have been discharged recently reach home in a day, with the exception of myself.
I have not asked for or received a furlough of a day since I entered the service.
I was 16 days travelling to this place, but at this time I can travel home in 14 days. $150 is a small sum, but that small sum is of some consequence to me, yet I ask not the payment as an act of charity, but as an act of justice. If you consider me clearly entitled to the sum for which I ask I would be glad to receive the same, but if after considering the circumstances you do not believe it justly due me I do not wish to receive it. To your decision I shall cheerfully submit. Will you please write to me on the subject to this place as soon as possible.
Respectfully Your Obt. Servant Alfred M. Folger

************************************************************************** *************************************** Excerpts from "The Family Physician":
Dedication - "To John W. Lide, M.D. formerly Directing Physician in the Cherokee Emigration; for whose kindness while I was in the service of the United States, as Attending Physician in the Indian Hospital, I shall ever feel grateful; whom I highly esteem as an Honorable Gentleman, as a Profound Scholar, and as a Skillful(sic) Physician, This Work is Respectfully Inscribed by His Sincere Friend, THE AUTHOR
TO THE PUBLIC In Appearing as an Author, I can but be aware that I shall subject myself to much criticism. I do not flatter myself that I shall be able to lay before the Public, a Work devoid of error; and, therefore, can but expect, that those of the Medical Profession, who view this Volume with an eye of scrutiny, will find in it much to merit their just criticism. Those of the Profession who are actuated by pure principles, I doubt not will readily accord to such a work, all the merit due to it. The ingenuous and enlightened mind, will examine well the work, and decide impartially, according to the merit of the same. Such will first enquire what has been done; whether anything calculated to enhance the public good, and if convinced of the utility of the work, will not hesitate to pronounce it a Volume worthy of a place in each Family Library. I am aware of the probability of there being many of the Profession who will oppose every medical work calculated to inform the people on the subject of disease. Such selfishness, such want of philanthropy, is characteristic of low, groveling minds; and an Author should regard not the vile invective of such men. - An individual who opposes any literary production from motives of avarice, envy, or prejudice, does not deserve a passing rebuke. In writing the present volume, I have endeavored to be as plain and as explicit as possible. I am opposed to too much prolixity in any medical work intended for the use of private individuals; consequently, I have been as brief as the nature of the case would admit. All technicalities have been carefully avoided, making the work perfectly plain to an ordinary scholar................................... .......................................................................... ....................... With these preliminary remarks, I lay the "Family Physician" before the community, with a hope that some good may result from my feeble efforts, and with an assurance, that however I may be censured, my motives are good, and if this work be good, it will continue to benefit my fellow beings, long after this hand shall have crumbled into dust. A.M. FOLGER Stokes Co., N.C., Jan. 1844
EXERCISE The course pursued by almost all animals, should be sufficient to convince man, that he was not formed for inactivity. Nearly all the animals of which we have any knowledge, seem to delight in exercise. The sloth, perhaps, is the only exception; and it is one of the most miserable, loathsome creatures upon earth. Without appropriate exercise, it is impossible to enjoy any degree of good health, long............. You cannot show me a solitary case, of a child in health, averse to motion................Those dear affectionate mothers, who keep their children constantly within doors because the 'dear little creatures are delicate', pursue a very proper course to render them more delicate, and to fit them for a premature grave...................................People who are wealthy, are too fond of reclining on cushioned sofas, in close rooms; and when they do venture out, they must have a carriage, that swings so nicely, that they are carried along as smoothly as if they were sitting in a steamboat; hence we see so many sallow complexions, and find so many low nervous affections, among opulent people................................Dancing, is recommended by the majority of Medical men, as a healthful exercise. Under proper limitations, I doubt not the fact; but as it is generally indulged in, it is highly injurious. At our country dances, we generally see the rooms crowded, by as many as can possibly get in, and each individual seems to be exerting him or herself to dance longer, and with more activity than the others. Often after fatiguing themselves until the system is much debilitated, and the body covered with perspiration, they will sally forth in the night air, well prepared for contracting cerises, pulmonary consumptions, and many other highly dangerous affections. I would ask those physicians who recommend dancing for exercise, if it is not in the power of every individual to exercise sufficiently in the day, to allow him to devote the evening, to reading some useful book, or to rational conversation? I consider that those who are blessed with wealth, so as not to be necessarily obliged to labor for a support, can look around them, and see poverty and distress among their neighbors that might be in some degree relieved, if they would appropriate to that object, the profits arising from the work of a few hours each day. It is the duty of every individual to be as useful to to others as possible; and if those opulent persons who loiter about taverns from day to day drinking wine, playing at whist, &c., &c., would devote that time which they thus throw away, to alleviating the distress of their fellow beings; they would be much better, much more healthful, and much happier men. The young and robust, amongst the males, should use active exercise, such as chopping, plowing, hoeing, and pursuing the various mechanical occupations, and amongst the females, in pursuing the duties of a house-wife. Let not the refined lady of quality sneer at these remarks. How much more fascinating the beautiful girl, whose cheeks glow with the roseate hue of health, who with symmetrical form, and elastic step, bounds along with agility of a fawn, than the pale and emaciated figure, who with melancholy aspect goes moping about, laboring under low nervous disease, the unhappy result of life of inactivity, spent in attending parties of pleasure, and lounging about when at home. FOOD It would be a difficult task for any medical man to prescribe a proper regimen for every healthy individual. As a general rule, however, I am of the opinion that less flesh, and more vegetables than we usually make use of, would be much better for the health of the people.......................Among adults, especially the males, it seems that the most of those who labor, suppose that they would be unable to bear the fatigue and hardship to which they are accustomed, if they were to abstain from the use of animal food. In this I think they are mistaken. If they will consult the history of mankind, they will find that a large majority are almost destitute of animal food throughout the year. SLEEP I wish to impress upon the mind of the reader, in the beginning of my remarks on Sleep, the importance of recollecting, at all times, that night is the item designed by our Creator for repose........ CLEANLINESS .......................With regard to the skin, any one who has arrived to the age of discretion, is aware of the advantage of keeping clean. We all know that our sleep is more refreshing, after having taken a bath in some river or pond, the previous day, and that our systems are renovated in a considerable degree. Frequent washing promotes the perspiration, and a person would do well to wash the entire body once or twice a week, especially in the summer season. A mere swimming frolic is not sufficient, but soap and a cloth should be freely used.........A person should change his clothes once or twice a week, or oftener, agreeably to the occupation he follows. SEDENTARY OCCUPATIONS .................My own opinion is, that there are about four times the number of sedentary people that there should be. Curl not your lip, dear reader, and accuse me of dictating to the intelligent people of these United States. TEMPERANCE No subject is more closely connected with the moral happiness of mankind, than this. Nothing has a greater tendency to destroy a man's health, his fortune, his fame, his domestic peace and prosperity; and to introduce him into that broad road that leads to eternal destruction, than intemperance. It is the grand lever made use of by the enemy of the souls of men, to people the regions of darkness. TOBBACO That the use of tobacco is a fruitful source of dyspepsy and some other diseases, no medical man, I presume, will dispute.................We do not confine our remarks to the practice of chewing, but wish to be understood as including the use of this poisonous stuff in every way. Few animals will make use of tobacco through choice. A species of goat, (one of the most disagreeable creatures of which we have any knowledge,) the tobacco worm, and man, are the only animals that make use of it, unless somewhat forced into it by man. COFFEE AND TEA On the use of these two articles, which is carried to such excess in the United States, I wish to make a few remarks. Though the use of coffee is so strongly recommended by nearly all the good old mothers of our country, and even by some of our medical men, I shall take the liberty to differ with them in a general point of view. RELIGION Though some persons may be astonished, that the subject of religion should be introduced in this place, I assure the reader that religion has a powerful effect upon the health of an individual; consequently, I think it my duty to make some remarks on the subject. When I speak of religion, I mean the pure religion of Jesus Christ; that religion which consecrates the soul to the practice of every virtue, and breathes forth love to God and good will to man. In looking over the causes of disease, we will see that intemperance is a fruitful source of many of the diseases of our country. Religion fortifies a man against every species of intemperance............We also discover, that the mind has a powerful influence upon the animal economy; and surely, nothing tends more to render the mind easy, under all circumstances, than religion. DYSPEPSIA Treatment - I place but little confidence in medicine in this disease. Many an unfortunate dyspeptic is compelled to drag out a miserable existence, and die by placing too much confidence in medicine as a cure. It is lamentably the fact, that there are many, or at least some physicians, who are so sordid - so completely lost to every ennobling principle, that they will, for the sake of money, pour their medicines into the stomach of the dyspeptic, until he dies the victim of medicine instead of disease. INTESTINAL WORMS Treatment - Many articles are spoken of as specifics for worms, but the best plan I have tried, is to give to a child from two to six years old, a decoction of pink root, made by putting one ounce of that herb into a pint of water, and boiling it down one fourth; after which I divide it into ten doses, and give a dose every hour, until it is all given. DEWBERRY AND BLACKBERRY These fruits, though found on different kinds of briars, are wholesome, when ripe. A decoction of the root of the dewberry especially, is an excellent remedy, in dysentery. SLIPPERY ELM I have found the mucilage of slippery elm bark to be one of the most useful articles in dysentery and diarrhoea, that we can use. During my attendance in the Cherokee Hospital, the dysentery prevailed to a great extent and find many of the Cherokees opposed to taking any medicines with which I could supply them, I directed to take slippery elm bark, make an infusion, and drink freely. This pleased them, and they would get the bark, make decoctions, and use it in large quantities - and many cases were cured in a short time with this remedy alone. GARLIC This is stimulating, promotes expectoratin, acts as a diuretic, increases the appetite, promotes digestion & c. MIXTURE FOR THE GOUT Take dried soda, half an ounce; powdered rhubarb, etc. ven drachms; powdered cinnamon bark, one drachm; powdered ginger, one drachm; and two drachms of powdered colubo. Mis, and divide into thirty six powders, and take on in water every night. From the Bible of Elizabeth Burdine Folger: "Dr. A.M. Folger was born 26 March 1811." Later entry: "Dr. Alfred M.

(This block was the block where Ballentine's Market was located in 1946, just down the street from Main St. and present day Pendleton Street ) There was a two-story house occupied by the family of Dr. Alfred Moore Folger, and next, east, was the store of O.C.

Dr. Folger moved back to his Pickensville farm." "In 1877, O.C. Folger built a small house on the Pickensville road (occupied today - 1946 - by C.W. McKittrick), the first house built on what is Fifth Street today. Mr. Folger moved here from the 'crowded section of business, hotel and bar, downtown'."

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."

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."

General Notes for Child Julius Franklin Folger
"The moral philosophy (of the new town of Pickens) was exemplified, too, by the formation of the Pickens Temperance Society. In an advertisement for a Grand Temperance Rally at Pickens Court House in December of 1870, the Secretary of the Society, Julius Franklin Folger, exhorted all to attend and cooperate in the work of Social Reform by giving 'Prince Alcohol such a blow that he will never recover.'"
"By January of 1877, the egregious political embroilment (of the State of South Carolina) had extended into the counties. At Pickens Court House, traces of a consequential snowfall remained on the ground when new County officers stormed the courthouse 'with guns on their shoulders.' Until commissions arrived from Governor Hampton, the officers elected the previous November 'took charge...in the capacity of deputies.' The 'Sentinel' marveled that 'Ex-Governor' Chamberlain had 'gone through the farce' of reappointing veteran County Treasurer, W. A. Lesley. As was required of any elected official, an appointee was obligated to post a security bond. Lesley's bond, when presented to the County Commissioners, listed among others Joab Mauldin, I.H. Philpot, and J.L. Thornley as securities. The Board of Commissioners, however, not recognizing 'Mr. Chamberlain' as Governor, would not approve Lesley's bond. Mauldin and Philpot immediately removed their names, with Philpot placing a paid advertisement in the newspaper advising the public of his withdrawal. Another Chamberlain appointment made additional news. J. Franklin Folger, named to replace his kinsman, long-time Auditor Alonzo M. Folger, was told by the Board that his bond was 'insufficient.' All elected officers were commissioned by Hampton near month's end, and the 'Sentinel' described the courthouse denizens to be 'happy as big sunflowers.' "
"The upkeep of the town(Pickens) was entrusted on April 2nd (1877) to Waddy T. McFall, the Intendant, and Wardens Benson F. Lesley, George W. Taylor, Julius Franklin Folger, and R.A. Child. These gentlemen ran on a 'dry' ticket, ensuring for another year the nonexistence of barrooms within town limits."
"Across from the Hotel (McDuffie Alexander and wife) in the original John W. Major house (Lot No. 11) lived the Folger family, consisting of Julius Franklin Folger, his wife Julia Alexander Folger (a sister of Mrs. Bruce and McDuffie Alexander), and their three small children, Ernest, Lucia, and Alice."
"Wardens Lesley and Folger were also Main Street merchants. Lesley was still in business with his father, W.A. Lewsley, and Folger formed partnership with W.M. Hagood and P. McDuffie Alexander in Hagood, Alexander and Company. Hagood moved to Easley to open another store and Folger, having been named Postmaster, moved the post office to Hagood, Alexander and Company."
