we get some intelligent young man or
woman to take up this task of collect
ing the past history of Laurens, and
put 1t in book form. Let them now
commence compiling all the newspa-
per clippings, read up on all the old
histories Of South Carolina and get all
the old family traditional histories in
shape for preservation. Years ago our
Congressman, Hon. JOS. II. Johnson

was riding with Col. A. W. Burnside
near Cross Hill and he remarked that
his family lived six miles east of the
town, and his grandfather Burnside
was one Of the Hays garrison that was
saved in the massacre. Seventeen
were Eutchercd and sixteen were per-
mittcd to live. Col. Cunningham is
sued orders to his men to bring out
their friends and protect them, and
for all that had enemies to bring them
out and kill them Col. Samuel Whar-
nr
had friend in Cunningham band
who claimed him for to live.
An lrishman. Donahuc, called for
the guard to bring out Hewlett Sulli-
van as he wanted revenge on him, for
chastising him severely for stealing
the Wings horses. Fortunately he
was absent from the station on that
bloody day. 1t was the custom Of Col
Joseph Hays to send home in relays
his men, to get UP fire wood and go
to the mill and do other job work on
their farms. Charles Sullivan and his
sons. Hewlett and Bosses belonged to
Col Hays command, and they had
completed their furlough on the day
Of the attack on the station. They had
nearly reached the ford when they met
their neighbOr ClairbOrne Sims flee
ing for his life, who told them that
Cunningham was burning the Hays
residence and killing the garrison.
They fled into the woods and watched
the Sacking Of the station and the
cruel slaughter Of the Wings. If my
grandfather had returned little soon
