Date: Sat, 15 May 2004 12:53:43 -0400


Dr. Constance McNeill, pres. of OEDGS is working on transcribing the Old Harris
Funeral Home records of Abbeville, SC. From the page of info., she is
converting the info. into an obit type article. She sent me this one, bacause
it had Edgefield connections. I don't know the family, but do know that some
of these surnames show up in the Aiken/Bath/Graniteville/Warrenville, Aiken Co,
area.

I asked Connie for permission to share with the list. She hopes it will help
someone. I am forwarding this info. only. I have NO connections to this
family that I know of YET...
