"Two markers were dedicated yesterday afternoon in a little cemetery
two
miles southeast of Glenn Springs, on the Spartanburg-Union Highway,
to the
memory of two Revolutionary soldiers, Benjamin West, a private in
the Spartan
Regiment, South Carolina Cavalry, and Lieutenant Henry White, First
Carolina
Infantry.
The dedication was conducted by Kate Barry Chapter, assisted by the
Cowpens
Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, the Spartan Chapter,
Sons of
the American Revolution, and Benjamin Roebuck Chapter, Children of
the
American Revolution, with fitting ceremonies.
The Program: "attention" was sounded by the bugler. The Rev. H.H.
Gregory,
pastor of the Philadelphia Church at Pauline, made the invocation,
which was
followed by "The Salute to the Flag", repeated by the assembly. A
song,
"America the Beautiful" was sung by the members of the Benjamin
Roebuck
Chapter, C.A.R., under the direction of Mrs. Olivia Gould...
...After the singing of the "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" by the
entire
assembly, D.C. Gregory of Glenn Springs pronounced the benediction,
followed
by "taps."
