And with farewells unspoken,

"Scraps of History
GENERAL PAUL QUATTLEBAUM.

The distinguished name which ap-
pears here is still fresh in the mem
cries of the people now living. 1t
was probably about the middle of
the Eighteenth Century that the first
Of the name came from the Rhine
and found home in the western
part of what We now know as Lex
ington. Here, December 1st, 1774,
was born Captain John Quattlenaum,
who grew to manhood at his fathers
home near the pre9ent town of Lees
vile. He was educated in the com
mon schools of TIE community and
entirely in tie German language
which was taught exclusively among
the earlier settlers.
In early life he married Sarah, a
daughter Of Henry and Eve Weaver,
and settled near his childhood's home.
There were four sons Of this mar
riage, all of whom moved West and
only returned at occasional intervals
and on short visits to the old home.
The only daughter, Mary, married the
well known Capt. VIM. Howard and
passed her life near where she grew
to womanhood. She died q few years
since, having attained the extreme
age of ninety-one. Captain Quattle-
baum lost his wife in 1909, and dur
ing the following year married Meta,
the only daughter of Thomas Bur
kett, who was a gallant officer in the
Revolutionary War, and his fathers
comrade under the immortal Marion.
To this marriage were born four sons,
Paul, Thomas, Walter and joseph
Thomas married Epsie Jackson and
lived long and useful and honored
life in his quiet country home< near
the head waters of the North Edisto
river few miles south of the now
thriving town of Batesburg.
Walter married first Miss TYLER CT
Orapgeburg, and afterwards Miss
Barr of Lexington. He died in early
manhood.
DR.. Joseph Quattlebaum married
Lucy A., daughter of Rev. William
Merritt, who lived and died at the
place now occupied by Captain Feas-
ter Lyles. He practiced medicine
for a number of years and after
wards became a dentist. He was
widely known and greatly respected
for his high Christian character.
Paul, the eldest son, is the subject
of this paper.
Capt. Quattlebaum, after his second
marriage, moved to Lightwood creek,
four miles south of Leesville, and
constructed lumber and -four mills
and engaged extensively in farming,
while he followed as we'll his avoca-
ton as gunsmith. The "Quattle.
baum Rifles" his own handiwork,
were long famous in the country
around. By industry, frugality and
good management he accumulated
a hadsome property, and was recog-
nized always as man Of integrity
and high character. He held the
rank of Captain in the war of 1912.
His second wife died in 1910, and
for four years after, and until her
death, he retained in his home his
aged mother-in-law and cared for her
with the devotion of a son. Subse-
quently he lost his eyesight and hay
